Chapter 1354 The Miracle of Da Bao'er [2]
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaomi felt very sorry for her grandmother and cursed the beasts of Dongmo in her heart... Damn your ancestors, would it kill you to live a peaceful life? You had to invade others, forcing us to fight and making our elderly and children never have a moment's peace.
She stood up again, opened her arms, and said to Grandma Qin, "My grandma is so strong. Come on, let's give each other a hug from a distance!"
This brought tears to Grandma Qin's eyes again.
"You silly girl, always doing weird things, and dragging Grandma into it too, really..." Grandma Qin complained, but opened her arms and deliberately asked, "Is this how you hold me?"
Grandma Qin made a hugging motion, opening her arms wide and then closing them back.
Qin Xiaomi laughed: "Haha, yes, that's it... Come on, listen to my command, let's open our arms together, one, two, three, close our arms and hug!"
The grandmother and grandson coordinated very well, their movements were almost identical, and they successfully hugged each other from a distance, even doing it three times, which was quite childish.
"Master Qin, Madam Qin, I've made a record of it for you. If this record can be circulated, it will surely be a beautiful story of filial piety!" Si Pei's voice came from the entrance of Wu Garden, his voice choked with emotion. This young man was even more moved than Qin Xiaomi and her granddaughter.
Qin Xiaomi said disdainfully, "What business is it of yours? Go record the beheadings, the different fates of the students due to their different choices, and the ransacking of the homes of the criminals. Don't come here and get in the way!"
This is a family gathering. Why are you, a complete outsider, getting involved?
Si Pei was scolded but dared not retaliate. She could only whisper, "You female demon, it's a good thing my fiancé is Commander Jiang, otherwise my husband would be in danger."
“General Alan, come here, tell me about your experience leading the mountain people and soldiers to fight the enemy alongside General Liang,” Si Pei said, running up to another human-shaped sack.
This is Aunt Alan.
She came specifically to see Qin Xiaomi and to discuss with her in detail matters such as the production and use of sharp weapons.
However, she didn't immediately pester Qin Xiaomi, but instead let her have a small gathering with her family first.
“Okay, let’s talk over there… stay away from me, I just came back from outside and haven’t taken any precautions against the plague yet.” Aunt Alan was happy to cooperate with Si Pei.
She would cooperate no matter how tired she was, simply because this record was beneficial to heroines and to girls of future generations.
Students like Si Feng, Gao Zhenzhi, and Wen Xiangnan also came over to help take notes... The three of them were really working hard, striving for their future and good reputation.
Especially Wen Xiangnan... Your uncle Wen Tao has fainted, aren't you going to go see him?
Wen Xiangnan said, "It's not that I don't want to watch it, it's that my uncle feels ashamed and has already sneaked home. I haven't been able to find him."
"Shi Xuezi, I'm about to start. If you don't come over soon, you might miss something, and your notes won't be complete," Aunt Alan called out to Shi Songxin, who was standing in a corner.
Shi Songxin was surprised, not expecting that Chief Alan still remembered him.
Having experienced the suicides and faked deaths of Lu Qian, Zheng Qianjia, and Lu Fenxu, Shi Songxin now has no motivation to claim credit.
He felt that being an official and pursuing a career in government was just so-so... He only wanted to live peacefully and did not want to face any more turmoil.
Even if these controversies bring him credit.
"Chief Alan, you all go about your business. This child is tired, let him rest first," came the old man's voice.
"Alright then." Aunt Alan didn't call Shi Songxin again. Shi Songxin breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Qiong Lao to express his gratitude, and then fell silent and lost in thought again.
Old Qiong let him space out... Let him space out for a while, and he'll figure it out.
Inside the garden, beside the carriage, Da Bao'er was lifted up by Aunt Qin again, facing Old Madam Guan, Grandpa Qin, and Qin Xiaomi: "Grandma, Dad, Xiaomi, look at Da Bao'er, can you see him?!"
Da Bao'er: "..."
"I can see it, I can see it!" Grandpa Qin squinted as he looked at Da Bao'er... Although he couldn't see Da Bao'er's facial features, he could see Da Bao'er flailing his arms and legs.
Fortunately, the female guard held Da Bao'er with both hands the whole time, so Grandpa Qin and the others were not afraid.
Madam Guan also smiled and said, "Look at him, our little Bao'er is so energetic!"
Da Bao'er: My great-grandmother, am I mentally unstable? I'm struggling!
Qin Xiaomi thought, "Da Bao'er has gotten so chubby, he has such good genes."
My baby was ravaged several times before he was even a month old, but he's still alive and thriving. He's not sick or thin, and he's even chubby and fair-skinned. What a miracle!
That's right, Da Bao'er, who has already experienced so much and has a rich and bumpy life, is still a few days away from being a month old.
"Grandmother, the day after tomorrow is the first day of the ninth lunar month, our baby will be one month old. How about we get together inside the gate and have a meal then?!" Aunt Qin asked Madam Guan for her opinion.
At the entrance to Wuyuan Guest House, the families of Qin Jiang, Xu Qiao, and others were present. After the quarantine period for the plague ended, they did not show any symptoms of rat plague and were brought into Wuyuan and arranged to live in the guest house.
If they still don't show any symptoms in five days, they can move to Shenlou.
"Shu Jie'er is really ignorant. How can a young granddaughter-in-law say such things? It should be the second daughter-in-law who is so clueless. If Old Madam Guan is unhappy with what she hears, then the second daughter-in-law will be the one to blame. Shu Jie'er will always be a good granddaughter-in-law of the Guan family." Granny Qin had no experience in the power struggles within the household, but she liked to give Qin Xiaogu pointers on such matters.
Qin Mei's face was icy: "Mother, this is Wu Garden. We are staying here as relatives of my cousin, so please watch your words and don't cause trouble for her... My cousin and Madam Guan are very open and straightforward with each other, without any of your roundabout ways."
"Hey you brat, who do you think you are? How dare you lecture your own mother in public, believe it or not... Ouch, I was wrong, I have a bad temper, let go!" Qin Mei grabbed Qin Liu Po's arm, and a pulling sensation came over her: "It hurts, don't pull, or it will dislocate."
Qin Mei: "Mother, don't be afraid. I will put it back in place for you. My fifth uncle, fifth aunt, and Xiaomi have all taught me how to do it."
Back in their hometown, Grandpa Qin taught Aunt Qin martial arts, and later taught Qin Xiaomi. Qin Mei, because she was supported by Grandma Qin, often went to Grandpa Qin's house and also learned a few moves.
In the years since she settled down, especially after the deserters' disaster, Qin Mei's fighting skills have improved a lot. She even started using them on Qin Liupo, making that old hag much more obedient.
"Are you even speaking human language?! I'm your mother... Oh dear, mother, shut up, mother won't say anything more. Look at my performance, I'll let go of you again, okay?" Granny Qin looked miserable, cursing Qin Mei in her heart.
Not only is she inferior to Sister Shu in every way, but she also doesn't learn anything from Sister Shu, only from that wicked Xiao Mi. How will she ever get married in the future?!
The old woman is deaf. Qin Mei has told her many times that she won't marry him, but she just won't listen.
Meanwhile, Madam Guan agreed with Qin Xiaogu's suggestion: "It's rare that Dalang, Xiaomi, Dabao's maternal grandfather, and second uncle are all here. Everyone is here, so let's get together the day after tomorrow."
Given the current situation, we should get together if we can, otherwise we might not be able to gather enough people next time.
"Alright, then I'll get to the arrangements. No matter how busy everyone is, we all have to take a quarter of an hour or two to celebrate Da Bao'er's one-month birthday!" Aunt Qin was very happy. She even patted Da Bao'er and asked him, "Da Bao'er, are you happy that everyone is coming to celebrate your one-month birthday?"
Da Bao'er: My dear mother, please stop fussing over me. I'm sleepy and need to sleep to grow.
