Chapter 180 The System Reappears
Qin Dajiang and Qin Dahe arrived at their hometown in the evening.
Due to the long car ride, Zhu Huiwen's face was pale, and her legs felt weak after getting off the bus.
The Wen siblings supported Zhu Huiwen on either side until after dinner, when her complexion finally improved somewhat.
It was very late when we got back to the Song family home.
Looking around the home where she had lived most of her life, Zhu Huiwen's face showed emotion.
Going home almost killed me; as I get older, my body will only get weaker.
It seems she shouldn't keep going back and forth until her three grandsons are all grown up...
After two days of rest and two days of cleaning and tidying up, Lunar New Year's Eve has finally arrived.
Qin Yingxue got up early, handed the three children over to Song Yanchuan and the others, and personally prepared a large New Year's Eve dinner.
Braised pork belly is a must, along with steamed yellow croaker, garlic abalone, old duck soup, chestnut stewed chicken, beef stewed with potatoes, Mapo tofu, stir-fried crab with rice cakes, and stir-fried celery with shrimp...
The staple food is white rice and steamed white flour buns.
The beverage was fruit wine brewed by Qin Yingxue herself.
Song Yanchuan, Qin Yingxue, Zhu Huiwen, along with the Wen siblings, the Bai brothers, and Yang Weijun, made up a table of eight.
At Song Yanchuan's signal to start eating, everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.
The three little ones have already started eating complementary foods. Seeing Qin Yingxue and Zhu Huiwen drinking fruit wine, Song Shiyao smacked his lips, looking incredibly greedy.
Zhu Huiwen was happy today, as the whole family was reunited. She picked up her chopsticks, dipped them in fruit wine, and put them into little Song Shiyao's mouth.
The sweet and sour fruit wine, slightly chilled, made Song Shiyao furrow his handsome brows, which made everyone burst into laughter.
When Song Shiyan and Song Shiqing saw Song Shiyan's strange appearance, Zhu Huiwen put chopsticks to their mouths, but they refused to open their mouths no matter what.
Qin Yingxue fed them a small bowl of steamed egg custard and also gave them some tender chicken.
Qin Yingxue had discovered the differences between the three treasures based on their tastes.
The eldest child likes to eat chicken, the second child likes to eat pork, and the youngest child's taste is similar to his own, he likes to eat seafood.
Sanbao has grown tiny teeth, which allows him to grind his food into small pieces before swallowing it.
After the meal, Zhu Huiwen took the Wen siblings to the kitchen to wash up.
Song Yanchuan and Qin Yingxue took the three children back to their room and began to bathe and wash their hair...
The child is too young to stay up all night on New Year's Eve.
Qin Yingxue gave a large red envelope to each of the Wen siblings, the Bai brothers, and Yang Weijun.
They are all five-dollar notes.
The five of them were sensible and each gave Sanbao a red envelope in return.
Each red envelope contains one yuan.
If the village kids knew, they'd be so envious they'd cry.
The three Qin brothers came over together. After chatting for a while, they gave each of the three children a New Year's gift of five yuan.
The Wen siblings, Bai brothers, and Yang Weijun each received two yuan.
Qin Yingxue, observing from the side, was somewhat surprised to see Qin Dahai smiling broadly without a hint of reluctance on his face.
Finally, she stopped Qin Dahe and asked, "Did you and your second brother give me the red envelope?"
"We don't need to give it to you. Big Brother and Qian Xiaofeng are earning quite a bit too," Qin Dahe explained with a smile.
Qian Xiaofeng hadn't mentioned this to her.
After everyone left, the Wen siblings, the Bai brothers, and Yang Weijie came to Qin Yingxue with unease, each taking out the red envelopes they had received.
Qin Yingxue immediately understood what they meant and said with a smile, "Keep it safe, and buy whatever you want to eat."
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the entire Qin Family Village was bustling with activity.
Early in the morning, Qin Yingxue dressed Sanbao in new clothes, carried New Year's gifts, and went to visit each household to offer New Year's greetings.
The three babies are adorable and have received a lot of praise, and of course, they've also received plenty of red envelopes.
Whether it was because there were so many people, or because Sanbao was so happy to see such a lively scene, his face was flushed with excitement, which made him even more adored by the aunties, grandmas, and older women.
After walking around the village, Qin Yingxue was carrying Song Shiyan and was about to return to the Song family home when she saw Jiang Linlin and Qin Xiaocao, who had disappeared for two days.
Qin Yingxue was surprised when she saw Qin Xiaocao.
At this moment, Qin Xiaocao had long since shed her childishness and rusticity. Wearing a red woolen coat, with her long hair permed, exquisite makeup, and high heels, she stood next to Jiang Linlin. At first glance, one might mistake her for a wealthy young lady from a big city.
Standing next to her was a young man in a suit. Although he wasn't handsome, he had regular features and was the kind of person whose looks grew on you.
He spoke with the air of a gentleman, his face radiating confidence and composure.
They showed no disgust at the poor, backward, muddy paths and dilapidated rural areas before them.
"Yingxue..."
Qin Yingxue intended to leave with the child, but Jiang Linlin spotted her with sharp eyes and waved and called out.
Qin Yingxue had no choice but to carry the child upstairs.
Qin Xiaocao only noticed Qin Yingxue at this moment, and a complicated expression flashed in her eyes. When she saw the child in Qin Yingxue's arms, she could no longer hide her shock.
“Oh, my dear nephew, come here, let Auntie give you a hug.”
The last time I saw Sanbao, he was sleeping.
When Jiang Linlin saw Da Bao staring at her with wide, dark eyes and a curious expression, her heart melted, and she quickly reached out her hands.
Qin Yingxue handed Song Shiyan to Jiang Linlin, not missing the utterly shocked expression on Qin Xiaocao's face.
"Yingxue, is this the eldest brother or..." Jiang Linlin carefully hugged him, her eyes fixed on Song Shiyan, feeling secretly delighted.
"It's the eldest brother, Song Shiyan," Qin Yingxue introduced with a smile.
"Yanyan, it's your auntie! Tell me what you like to eat, and I'll buy it for you..." Jiang Linlin spoke to Song Shiyan with a happy face, completely ignoring Qin Xiaocao who was standing to the side.
Qin Xiaocao coughed awkwardly and extended her hand to Qin Yingxue in a graceful manner: "Sister Qin, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Qin Yingxue looked up at Qin Xiaocao.
Whether it was Jiang Linlin's system that did something, or Qin Xiaocao found a famous doctor to heal the scars on her face, there was no trace of them left.
My skin, which used to be rough and dark, is now as smooth as a freshly peeled egg. It's like I've been reborn, no, it's like I've become a completely different person.
"It wasn't me, I didn't do anything! Qin Xiaocao went to America and came back looking completely different."
A mechanical yet familiar voice suddenly entered her ears, snapping Qin Yingxue back to her senses.
"I thought you would keep playing dead and not make a sound," Qin Yingxue said sarcastically.
"Who gave you the right to slander me?" the system retorted. "Besides, nothing's wrong, is it? I..."
"What do you mean 'nothing'? Have you forgotten that you promised to give me two rare antiques back in Yanjing?"
