Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee carried their hoes and walked over from the fields with their sleeves rolled up, their faces full of sweat.
"Big brother, sister-in-law."
Qin Mian nodded his head, and casually asked: "Did you go to the fields?"
"Yeah. He went to the garden to weed. I grew three acres of vegetables at home, and they all grew very well. " Lei Xiangyi's face revealed a happy expression.
Lei Xianglee was very calm. Without splitting up, earning money wasn't his own.
Qin Mian rubbed his chin. He had almost never seen Lei Xiangren go to the fields. He sympathized with Lei Xiangyi and the others, but after all, this was an old dwelling's matter. He and Lei Tia had already separated, so he didn't have any grounds to interfere.
"When you have time, pick out some good vegetables and send to the restaurant. Tia and I will inform the restaurant in advance." he said kindly.
"Sigh." Lei Xiangyi agreed. "Thank you. If you say too much, it will hurt your relationship. Just remember it in your heart."
Just as Qin Mian and Lei Tia walked a few steps forward, Lei Xiangyi hesitated for a moment and quickly chased after them.
Lei Xianglee paused for a moment, then walked over.
"Big brother, sister-in-law."
Qin Mian turned around and asked curiously: "Is there anything else?"
Lei Xiangyi laughed bitterly, "Eldest sister-in-law, I won't beat around the bush with you. Fourth Younger Brother and I both have our own branch family, but they did not agree to my father and mother's suggestion a few times. "I know my elder sister-in-law has always been someone with an idea. I wonder if you could point us in the right direction?"
Qin Mian frowned. Lei Xiangyi asking them for help was understandable, but he shouldn't have brought it up midway. If it was seen by others and passed to Lei Daqiang and Madam Du, when Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee mention the branch families again, Madam Du and Lei Daqiang would definitely suspect him and Lei Tia. He did not want to draw back the attention of Madam Du and Lei Daqiang.
Lei Xianglee was more alert. He looked left and right, and said to Lei Xiangyi with disapproval: "Second Brother, you are too presumptuous. If others saw us talking to our brother and sister-in-law for so long, we would bring them trouble." The brothers all understood what kind of people the Madam Du and Lei Daqiang were.
Lei Xiangyi reacted, he was startled, and immediately apologized: "Sister-in-law, I was careless."
Qin Mian looked left and right, making sure that there was no one else around, then shook his head, "Tomorrow morning, you guys will pick some vegetables and send it to the restaurant with us." Ah, it's hard for my eldest sister-in-law.
Lei Xiangyi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. By saying this, Qin Mian had agreed to give them advice. In the name of serving food, Lei Daqiang and the Madam Du had no reason to doubt anymore.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Lei Xianglee was overjoyed.
In order to avoid being noticed, the four quickly separated.
After returning home, Qin Mian excitedly gave Lei Tia some advice on training.
"..."
After dawn, Lei Tia brought Lei Qinle and the other nine house guards to begin their training. Uncle Fu and his family went to pick vegetables in the garden and prepared to transport them to the restaurant.
Qin Mian simply made a few pancakes for breakfast, placed them in the pot and covered them with the lid. He took a little to the garden.
Lei Tia was in a clearing by the side of the small forest. He let the future family generals tie two kilograms of sandbags around their wrists and ankles and run three laps around the clearing. Lei Qinle and the others were not used to having heavy objects tied to their bodies, but they gritted their teeth and persevered on. Their master's willingness to teach them skills was their honor and also a rare opportunity. No one was willing to give it up.
After ru
ing a circle, Lei Tia performed a set of fist techniques. Lei Qinle and the others watched the scene seriously, making it a good opportunity for them to take a break.
"I'll teach you half today." Lei Tia said expressionlessly, and demonstrated the first half of his fist technique at a relatively slow speed.
After he finished his demonstration, he said calmly, "Try them all."
Lei Qinle and the other three repeated the fist techniques from their memories.
Lei Tia realised that Lei Qinle and Lei Qin Hui had learnt the fastest as he nodded his head slightly. Lei Tia recalled that Lei Qin Hui was the youth who had performed the best when he was first bought, and could be groomed as the most important person.
"Is there anyone who can read?" Lei Tia asked.
Lei Qinzhong stood up, "Reporting to the young master, I can read."
Lei Tia took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to him, "From now on, train according to these requirements. Lei Qinle will be in charge of supervising."
Lei Qinle and Lei Qin replied respectfully, "Yes, Eldest Young Master!"
"For today's boxing techniques, Lei Qinle and Lei Qin Hui will be in charge of teaching the others. The day after tomorrow, in the morning. "
Lei Qinle and Lei Qin Hui answered in unison, "Yes!"
The fact that Lei Tia did not personally supervise them made them feel even more pressured.
Qin Mian glanced at it from afar, but he did not go over and instead walked towards the garden.
Lei Tia walked over with large strides, and stood shoulder to shoulder with him. Other than teaching him fist and palm techniques, he didn't need to be present to train with the rest of his training. He couldn't possibly spend all his time on training the general.
Aunt Fu and Uncle Fu were squatting in the garden picking vegetables. Next to the vegetable patch were several large baskets filled with eggplants, tomatoes, cucumbers, leeks, and green peppers.
Uncle Fu patted the mud off his hands and walked over, carefully avoiding the dishes on the ground, "Eldest Young Master, Young Master, you can pick a lot of vegetables. "However, if we're just using one car, I'm afraid it won't be enough."
Qin Mian looked at the fresh and tender vegetables, and was very satisfied, "It's fine. You go to the village and borrow a car. We'll buy another car when we get to town. "
"Yes, I will go now."
Qin Mian and Lei Tia walked back through the peach forest.
Qin Mian chatted with him for a while, "It's been a few days since I last went to a restaurant, I wonder how the business is." Although he was confident, he would still be worried if he did not see the situation in the restaurant with his own eyes.
Lei Tia's calm voice contained the power to calm him down, "It won't be bad. "In the past month since the restaurant was opened, there have been two new dishes released every day, which will surely attract customers."
Qin Mian regained his confidence, "Mn, I believe you!"
He patted Lei Tia's back, "I'm covered in sweat, hurry back to take a bath. We'll go to town after breakfast. "
After the two of them had breakfast, they arrived at the main entrance. Uncle Fu and the others had already loaded all the vegetables onto the carriage, and filled up the two carriages with more than ten baskets.
Uncle Fu and Huai Le were driving an ox cart respectively, while Qin Mian and Lei Tia rode on it.
Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee had been waiting at the entrance of the village since a long time ago.
"Eldest sister-in-law, take a look at our dishes first." Lei Xianglee took the initiative. Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-Law took good care of them, and they were extremely grateful. Naturally, they would not lie, and they carefully picked out the worm-eaten and rotten ones.
"No need, I naturally believe in you." Qin Mian laughed.
He indicated for Huai Le and Uncle Fu to drive the carriage ahead.
Pleasure was a smart person, and Uncle Fu was not stupid. Seeing that they had something to say, he quickly drove the carriage a few steps, increasing the distance between them.
"Eldest Sister-in-Law, I've troubled both you and Eldest Brother with what I said yesterday." Lei Xianglee cupped his hands and said.
Qin Mian waved his hand, and did not beat around the bush, "Actually, the reason why you all want to split your families is mainly because of Second Brother, right?"
Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee didn't deny it.
"Yes."
Lei Xianglee explained: "We are naturally close with the Second Brother, but Second Brother and Second Sister-in-Law have often gone too far. Once or twice, as brothers, we can still tolerate it. But in the long run, they're going to wear out the rest of our relationship, so we might as well take care of it as soon as possible. "
Qin Mian said slowly: "You now have two choices. The first is to separate Second Brother from his room. "
Lei Xianglee and Lei Xiangyi were stu
ed at the same time. In the past, they only thought of getting rid of Lei Xiangren, but didn't think that they would still be able to separate him. It would be good if he could separate Lei Xiangren. However, with Lei Xiangren's character, it would be very difficult.
Lei Xianglee asked, "And the second?"
Lei Xiangyi didn't speak, he lowered his head and thought, somewhat moved. Actually, he did not want to be separated from Lei Xiangzhi. It would be fine if he could only be separated from the Second Brother s. It didn't matter if and the Madam Qian would be able to benefit from it, but he still hoped that his child would benefit from Lei Xiangzhi's glory. He would definitely have a son in the future. No matter if it was his son who walked the imperial examinations, or his daughter getting married, with such a powerful uncle around, they wouldn't live a bad life.
"The second way is for the two of you to split up." A mocking smile flashed past Qin Mian's lips, his tone was calm, and he said, "I believe you all understand, there is no way Second Brother would agree to separate from Fifth Brother."
Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee both had helpless expressions as they nodded at the same time. Lei Xiangren was stupid, but he was not stupid. On the contrary, he was a little clever, and couldn't see that Lei Xiangzhi's future was bright.
"If I choose the first one, what should I do?" Lei Xiangyi asked.
Qin Mian laughed, "The reason why Second Brother is so unbridled in this old house is because he is the only one among you brothers who has given birth to grandchildren, and two of them at that.
Lei Xiangyi's voice was a little muffled, "Yes. Mother really values Second Brother. " This was a tactful way of putting it. Out of Madam Du's four sons, she liked Ol 'Five the most, followed by Ol' Five.
"So, as long as mother's views on Second Brother can be changed ??" Qin Mian didn't go into details, he simply couldn't teach Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee personally. As for the details, they would have to depend on themselves.
Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee seemed to be deep in thought.
Lei Tia didn't say a word as he tilted his head to glance at Qin Mian. A daughter-in-law is really smart.
Qin Mian continued: "Of course. You still have a powerful helper. "
Lei Xianglee's heart was moved, "Madam Wei."
"That's right." Lei Xiangyi was enlightened, and his spirits were lifted, "I'm afraid Madam Wei does not like Second Brother as much as we do. If we want to separate Second Brother, she would definitely be willing to help us. "
Qin Mian didn't care about their specific plans and only said what he could, "If you choose the second method, it will be more difficult. Mother actually knows Second Brother's character very well. If the two of you were to split up, who would be able to do the work at home? "
Lei Xiangyi stuttered: "Then, can I only choose one?"
Lei Xianglee frowned, he wanted to go through with it alone even more. The days in the old house were too noisy. When he marries, his family will probably be even more "lively".
"That's not true ??"
As Qin Mian said this, both Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee's gaze flickered towards him.
