Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

Everyone in the room chatted for a while, and Qian Jinling arranged for the nanny to buy some groceries and prepare a more sumptuous dinner.

Afterwards, she called Xu Jinfeng again to inform him in advance that her family was coming over, so that Xu Jinfeng wouldn't be unhappy when he came back at night. There were several guest rooms at home, so there was no need to worry about not being able to arrange accommodation for them.

While the two nannies were busy buying groceries and cooking, Qian Jinling took her family to see the rooms, found new sheets and quilts for them, and asked them to clean up the room themselves.

Although these empty rooms are rarely occupied, the nanny cleans them every day, so they are all very clean. You just need to make the bed and put away your luggage.

Xu Jinfeng loves Qian Jinling and his family, and because of his love for her, he is more tolerant of Qian's family. Otherwise, if Qian Jinling often sent money to her parents' home, Xu Jinfeng would not turn a blind eye.

When he heard that someone from her parents' home was coming, Xu Jinfeng wanted to give Qian Jinling some face, so when he returned home in the evening, he bought two packs of branded cigarettes, a few pounds of prawns that were hard to find for rural people, and some cooked food.

After returning home, he greeted the Qian family enthusiastically: "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Xiaoling told me you guys are coming over, so I bought some food and added two dishes to dinner. Eat more later."

He handed the two packs of cigarettes to Old Man Qian and said, "Dad, you and your elder brother both smoke, so this is for both of you..."

Old Man Qian and Qian Jincai are both old smokers, but in the past in the village, Old Man Qian smoked dry tobacco that he rolled himself with cigarette paper, while Qian Jincai only smoked cigarettes that cost three or five yuan a pack. But when he went to buy cigarettes, he also learned about high-priced cigarettes.

Now, looking at the two packs of cigarettes handed over by Xu Jinfeng, Qian Jincai's eyes sparkled. Those cigarettes were 20 yuan a pack in the store, and this pack was 200 yuan. This brother-in-law was much more generous and sensible than his sister.

He took the cigarette from Old Man Qian and looked at the box carefully, smiling from ear to ear: "Thanks, brother-in-law, I have never smoked such good cigarettes!"

Qian Jinling hated her elder brother's mean behavior, so she pulled Xu Jinfeng upstairs to change clothes. She felt ashamed to let Xu Jinfeng spend more time with her family. Her family was really too shameless.

However, compared to her natal family, her husband's family is no less so. I wonder if Xu Jinfeng had the same feeling when he took Qian Jinling back to his hometown.

If possible, Qian Jinling would rather cut off contact with both her natal family and her husband's family, as neither side would be worry-free.

When dinner started in the evening, the Qian family didn't treat me as an outsider at all. They ate voraciously, eating from their bowls while keeping an eye on what was on their plates.

That pot of prawns became a hot commodity, and there was a mountain of prawn shells in front of everyone.

When eating shrimps, a lot of soup was left on their hands. They rubbed their hands in an ungraceful manner, or wiped them directly on their clothes. Qian Jinling felt very upset when she saw this, so she handed them tissues one by one.

Xu Jinfeng didn't feel much and chatted with them casually as if nothing had happened.

"Dad, Mom, how are you doing now? Let Xiaoling take you to the hospital for a thorough checkup in the next few days. If you have any minor problems, take good care of them!"

"Brother and Xiaobin came here together this time. Are they here just to accompany our parents, or do they want to find a job?"

"Is Xiaojuan's school on vacation now? Your two sisters won't be on vacation for another half a month! Then you sisters will have company..."

Xu Jinfeng took care of everyone and showed concern for everyone. While talking, he used serving chopsticks to pick up food for several people and told them not to be polite and to eat more.

Seeing Xu Jinfeng's enthusiasm, the Qian family put aside their worries and ate to their heart's content.

However, the Qian family has not yet told him that they have decided not to return to their hometown after this visit, for fear that Xu Jinfeng will be angry and refuse.

In the eyes of the Qian family, Qian Jinling's home is good, but the entire family's finances are supported by Xu Jinfeng. Qian Jinling is just a rich lady who depends on others for support. No matter how rich she is, it is just a waste of money. Therefore, they dare not act rashly in front of Xu Jinfeng.

After eating and drinking, Xu Jinfeng went upstairs to take a shower and prepare to rest. After letting the Qian family relax, he returned to his room.

The Qian family sat in the living room on the first floor watching TV and eating nuts. Old man Qian and old lady Qian lay down on the wide, long and soft sofa.

At this time, Old Mrs. Qian had the aura of a landlord's wife. When facing Xu Jinfeng, she knew how to restrain herself. When facing Qian Jinling, she implicitly asked her to take on the responsibility of supporting her eldest brother's family of three.

When facing the two nannies, Mrs. Qian was even more outraged. She imagined the appearance of the rich landlords on TV, and asked the nanny to serve her tea and water, then asked the nanny to peel melon seeds for her, and then asked the servants to massage her shoulders and back.

Qian Jinling couldn't stand it anymore and scolded Mrs. Qian: "Mom, you've got to stop now. If someone doesn't know you, they would think you're a landlord's wife from the old society!"

Old Madam Qian was not convinced and said, "What's wrong with me ordering them around? You're not not paying them. Isn't that what they do as maids?"

Qian Jinling rolled her eyes at her mother and said, "It's a different era now, and you're still an old nanny. She's a nanny, responsible for washing clothes, cooking, and cleaning. Her wages don't include the services you want.

If you want to do this, it's fine, but I have to give him a raise, 300 yuan more a month. If you think it's worth it, then do it!"

"What? Three hundred? Three hundred yuan for such a small job? Don't bluff me. There are also people in the village who go to the city to work as babysitters. They only earn three or four hundred yuan a month by doing all kinds of work..." said Old Mrs. Qian.

Qian Jinling was too lazy to argue with her and said, "That's someone else's price. This is the same price here."

Qian Jinling blocked the topic, and Old Lady Qian didn't dare to bring it up again. However, she still looked at the two nannies with a glare, thinking that they were cheating Qian Jinling out of her money.

They stayed at Qian Jinling's place for a day. Apart from eating and drinking without paying attention to their image and behaving in a somewhat unpleasant way, they didn't cause any trouble.

The next day was Friday. After school, Xu Jinfeng picked up the two children directly. Only then did they know that their grandmother and her family were there.

Xu Qianqian and Xu Ranran don't have a deep impression of their grandmother's family. They only visit them two or three times a year, or even only once during the Chinese New Year. How can they have deep feelings for them?

After the two sisters entered the house, Xu Jinfeng asked them to take the initiative to greet the Qian family. Although they didn't like the Qian family very much, they still greeted them one by one in a polite manner: "Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, Brother Dabin, Sister Meijuan!"

The old couple of the Qian family were very happy to see their two granddaughters dressed in fancy clothes. They called the two girls over and asked them some trivial questions. But what they were thinking in their hearts was that it would be great if their eldest grandson could also live such a life.

Their eldest grandson, whose mother ran away and whose father was useless, was really pitiful. Now they were no longer satisfied with letting Qian Jinling take care of Qian Longbin's food and drink, but had more desires.

Qian Longbin was about to reach adulthood, the age for marriage in the countryside. However, he was hindered by his family's reputation in the village, so it must be difficult for him to find a partner.

Now that they have come to the big city, it would be great if Qian Jinling could help introduce Qian Longbin to a girl from a wealthy family as his wife.

Their eldest grandson is tall, with good-looking features, and is considered a good-looking person. This shouldn't be difficult to do, right? Old Mrs. Qian thought to herself.
