Chapter 69 External Family

In the afternoon, Lei Xiangren brought Lei Dabao and Lei Er Bao over, inviting Qin Mian and Lei Tia to the Old Residence for lunch. Lei Xiaoyun's family and Lei Xiaofeng's family had come over for lunch at Lei Dagang's home, and's family would be eating di

er there.

Lei Tia rejected his.

Lei Xiangren curled his lips but did not say anything. He helped Lei Dabao and Lei Er Bao to put away the small flowers and candies in their pockets, grabbed the two servants and left hurriedly with the two children.

On the third day of the first month, Lei Daqiang and Lei Dagang went to Lei Xiaoyun's home to pay their respects. Qin Mian stayed at home, and Lei Tia went with them. After the new year gift was sent out, he did not stay to eat, but returned alone. Seeing Qin Mian sitting at a table with a set of tableware waiting for him, with his head tilted towards the direction of the door, Lei Tia felt extremely at ease.

On the fourth day of the first month, Lei Family people went to Lei Xiaofeng's home to pay their respects. Lei Tia had lunch at Lei Xiaofeng's house. Lei Xiaoyun mocked and ridiculed him, but Lei Tia did not say a word, so there was nothing she could do.

On the sixth day of the first month, Lei Tia reminded Qin Mian to add brine to the nectar. Qin Mian added the brine into the clay pot and sealed it again. He then solemnly placed the two clay pots into a corner of the kitchen and waited for it to open a year later.

On the seventh day of the first month, a relative of the Lei family came to visit Lei Tia Family. Lei Dagang, Lei Daqiang and Lei Xiaofeng were also present. No one came to Lei Xiaoyun's home, nor did they give him a new year's gift. Qin Mian and Lei Tia didn't care.

Around the tenth day of the first month, the month of January had basically come to an end. The villagers began to invite those who were on good terms with each other in the village. Qin Mian and Lei Tia had also arranged for a day to be spent inviting the Precinct Head's family, Zhao Wenzhong's family who had rented the house to them, the family, Elder Jiang and Wu Di to di

er at their home. Zhao Wenzhong, Zhang Dashuan, Elder Jiang and Wu Di were invited to return the next day. After a while, their relationship had gotten closer. No wonder it was said that a man's friendship was formed over a wine table.

The weather gradually turned warm and the room was still cold, but it would get hot if you stood in the sun for a while.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the snow had long since melted. The sun hung high in the sky, drying 80% of the ground. Lei Tia and Qin Mian had prepared a gift to visit Lei Tia's grandfather and grandmother in Deng Family Village.

Lei Tia drove the carriage while Qin Mian sat beside him and ate the melon seeds.

"Grandpa and Second Uncle are fine, don't worry." Lei Tia suddenly said.

If he did not mention his first uncle, first aunt, and second aunt, he would know what was going on just by thinking about it. Qin Mian stuffed a melon seed into his mouth, "Do I look like I'm worrying?" He's not really fifteen years old.

Lei Tia held his hand and lightly bit his finger.

Seeing that he was almost there, Qin Mian wiped his mouth, took out a bamboo water cup and rinsed his mouth, then dressed himself in the complete set of clothes, and accidentally brushed off the melon seeds that landed on Lei Tia's clothes.

At the entrance of the Deng Family Village, a couple around sixty years old stood under a tree, looking up with their heads held high. The old man's grey hair and beard were grey, his spirit hale; the old lady had a head of silver strands, her face was rosy, and she looked rather rich. These two were Master Deng and Old Lady Deng.

Lei Tia saw them and said to Qin Mian: "That is grandpa and grandma."

Qin Mian was slightly moved, "They must be here waiting for you every day. Otherwise, it's impossible for them to know that we're here today."

"They're fine." Lei Tia said.

The old couple saw them, too, and their wrinkled faces broke into smiles of joy. The old lady even waved her hand towards him. Her kind face made Qin Mian think of his maternal grandpa.

"Grandpa, grandma." Lei Tia jumped off the car and quickly kneeled down and kowtowed.

Qin Mian knelt beside him without hesitation, "Greetings to Grandfather and Grandmother."

"Good, good, quickly get up, don't dirty your clothes." Old Lady Deng helped Qin Mian up and sized him up. Seeing that this child was clear-headed and had clear eyes, she immediately grew somewhat fond of him. She actually took out a red letter from her sleeve and stuffed it into Qin Mian's hands.

"Thank you, Grandma!" Qin Mian had interacted with the old man before, so he did not decline. He accepted the gift generously and held onto the old lady's arm while smiling at Lei Tia, "I do, you don't have any. "Hurry up and show a smile, maybe Grandma will give you a red packet too."

Lei Tia looked at him helplessly and indulgently, unable to laugh.

The old lady could see that Qin Mian was purposely teasing her, and laughed: "You're not giving me a smiling face either. He's an adult now. "

"I'll smile for Grandmother." With that, Qin Mian smiled at the old lady.

The old lady was so happy that the wrinkles on her face deepened. "Alright, grandma will give you another red packet."

Qin Mian accepted it with a smile, and passed it over to Lei Tia, "Here, don't piss me off."

The old lady laughed even more heartily.

The old man watched coldly with his hands behind his back, ignoring Qin Mian.

Qin Mian did not mind, there was no one that could make everyone like him.

Just then, Little White jumped down from the carriage, walked to Qin Mian's side and rubbed his leg, then ran forward.

Qin Mian immediately called out to it, "Little White, don't run around."

Little White looked back at him and obediently ran back.

The old man stared at a little white spot. His eyes flashed as he asked Qin Mian with certainty, "Is this a wolf?"

Qin Mian was shocked, and immediately replied: "Grandfather, don't worry, it has a spirit, it won't take the initiative to hurt people."

The old man nodded as his expression softened. "Come, let's go home."

Qin Mian was a little confused by the different attitudes around him, but it was a good thing that the old man was willing to give him a good face. He supported the old lady and led the way, while Lei Tia led the old lady and the old man to walk at the back.

The old lady asked Qin Mian how old he was, where did he come from, and how could he read.

The few of them arrived at Uncle Deng's house first. The Uncle Deng couple had three children, the eldest and the second oldest was a daughter, married off. His only son, Deng Quan, was also married. His children had two children, one male and one female, which made for a good writing with the names Kun Zi and Xi Ya.

Greetings to uncle and aunt. The aunt looks very cordial, but the uncle is very cold.

The two children came over and kowtowed to Qin Mian and Lei Tia. Qin Mian gave Kunzi a sixteen-coin red seal and a small wooden sword. Lei Tia was careless, before this, he did not mention anything about preparing a present for his child. This small wooden sword was made by Qin Mian. The red string was something that Qin Mian had found in the space, but it was actually the shoelace of a new pair of shoes that he hadn't had the time to wear. It was a mix of blue, purple, red and yellow lines, novel and unique. The shoelaces were extremely long, so Qin Mian split the two shoelaces into four. No one except him knew it was a shoelace.

She really liked that "headband", so she happily thanked him and urged her mother to tie it to her head. She tied a bow, which was also very pretty.

After getting off the car, Qin Mian and Lei Tia headed towards their second uncle's house.

Second Uncle Deng was more amiable than Uncle Deng and his second aunt was so polite that they almost left each other, but he did not embarrass Qin Mian and Lei Tia. The couple had given birth to a daughter and two sons. His daughter was married; his eldest son, Deng Zhong, had given birth to a man and a woman; his youngest son, Deng Xiao, had two daughters and one son. Qin Mian was impartial, the gifts of the five children were the same as Kunzi's and Huaiya's. The reaction of the three girls was almost the same as joy. They happily tied their hair ropes to their heads.

Seeing that both Hong Feng and the present was given by Qin Mian, he guessed that was the one who made the decision on Lei Tia Family, and guessed that the relationship between the two of them was not bad. He patted Lei Tia's shoulders and said softly, "It doesn't matter what happened between you two. You can live well in the future and your mother will be at ease here."

Lei Tia said: "He is my wife." His tone was flat but firm.

Second Uncle Deng gave a start before sighing silently. He pinched his shoulder and said, "You are an adult now. You have your own ideas. Second Uncle only hopes that you can go along with it in the future."

Qin Mian was sitting across the table from them. He seemed to be drinking tea, but he had actually heard their words. Seeing a small wooden frame with a wooden frame in the corner and a wooden stick, a sewing bag, and some other small items, he asked, "Second uncle, those are ??

Second Uncle laughed heartily, "Brother Tia never told you before? "I am the lackey."

Qin Mianxin was moved. He glanced at Lei Tia and asked Second Uncle Deng: "Second Uncle, have you tasted the fried hemp leaves, flowers and seeds Lei Tia gave you last time?"

Second Uncle Deng nodded. "Yes, I have. The taste is pretty good. The kids like it a lot."

Qin Mian smiled slightly and said to Lei Tia: "Let's give Second Uncle the hemp flower, leaf and candy formulas."

Second Uncle Deng was startled and quickly said: "No way!"

Lei Tia looked deeply at Qin Mian, "I'll listen to you."

Second Uncle Deng wanted to say something, but Qin Mian waved his hand and interrupted him, "Second Uncle, don't reject me. We don't plan on making money from Ma Hua Ya candy. These snacks are not complicated to make, they are very suitable for families to sell, and the cost is not high. "Although I can't make second uncle rich, just the word 'fresh' is enough to make second uncle earn a small fortune."

"This ??" Second Uncle Deng rubbed his hands, still feeling ashamed. "How about this. After we earn some money, we will split it."

Qin Mian laughed, "Back then, when second uncle extended a helping hand to Lei Tia, Lei Tia and I both remembered it in our hearts. Is second uncle not willing to give us a chance to repay him?"

Lei Tia also said: "Second Uncle, don't decline. My wife has always kept her word, I'll listen to her."

Second Uncle Deng laughed. Qin Mian will repay these two children to him, and Lei Tia will lift Qin Mian up in front of him. They were both doing it for each other.

At this point, any further rejection would be considered foreign. Second Uncle Deng nodded and said: "Since that's the case, Second Uncle will accept it with a little face."

Qin Mian recounted the methods of how to eat snacks in detail, and Second Uncle Deng seriously remembered it.

Qin Mian and Lei Tia sat for a while before returning to the Uncle Deng's house. Lunch was arranged to be held at Uncle Deng's home.

His second aunt only had a better impression of Qin Mian after knowing that Qin Mian had given Second Uncle Deng a few recipes.

The lunch table was very peaceful, without any unpleasantness.

After lunch, the old lady talked a lot with Qin Mian and Lei Tia.

It turned out that two years ago, when Lei Tia's birth mother, the Deng Family, had passed away, Master Deng, Old Lady Deng, Uncle Deng and Second Uncle Deng had been very concerned with Lei Tia and would visit him every one or two months to bring him clothes, shoes, socks, etc. But following Lei Xiangren's birth and Madam Du's instigation, Lei Daqiang's heart had become more and more biased towards the Madam Du. At the same time, something happened in the Deng Family ?? ?? The Uncle Deng and Second Uncle Deng were making a ruckus. Uncle Deng was his eldest son, the old lady followed him. On one side was her son and grandson, on the other, their only grandson. Eldest aunt always felt that the old lady's bowl of water was not even, and she always spoke coldly about it. His second aunt did not have any bad intentions, but she was a petty person, and could not bear to see her second uncle talk about Lei Tia. Due to these three reasons, the young Lei Tia was completely ignored and ran away from home in the end.

After saying so much, the old lady hoped that Qin Mian and Lei Tia would not hate them.

Lei Tia shook his head and said that he wouldn't.

Qin Mian did not have any thoughts towards people with Deng Family. Lei Tia was forced to run away from home due to his father, Lei Daqiang, and Madam Du. No matter how close they were, they were still outsiders, so it couldn't be blamed on them.

Now, Lei Tia had successfully grown up and had a small family. There was no need to take the small matters of the past to heart.

Di

er was at second uncle's house, and second aunt was very cordial.

Qin Mian and Lei Tia understood that it was related to the prescription.

After di

er, the sun set, and the two of them hurried home in the sunset.

Lei Tia drank a little too much and was holding onto Qin Mian's hands tightly. Qin Mian was worried that if he was allowed to drive the carriage, the ox-cart would run into the field and drive the carriage himself.

"Wifey," Lei Tia leaned on Qin Mian's shoulder, the smell of the alcohol continuously wafted into his ears, "I still remember the day I left home ??"
