Don't Say You're Heartless

After the food was put on the table, everyone sat down.Yang Qiong introduced her brother and sister-in-law to Shen Qiuhua. She didn't know some children, so their parents introduced them, and then Yang Qiong introduced Shen Qiuhua to everyone.This feeling is really like taking the bride home to meet relatives.

The chaos of this family gathering did not make Shen Qiuhua feel flustered.She was born in the Jiangnan Shen family, which was an extremely large family.There are so many branches in the family, it takes a long time to talk about seniority when they meet each other.People like the Yang family are a piece of cake in comparison.

After greeting each other, the Yang family also looked at Shen Qiuhua.Not sneaking eyes, but staring openly.Suddenly a four or five-year-old boy said: "Sister, you are so beautiful!"

One sentence amused everyone.It was only when Yang Qiong found out that the boy belonged to her third brother's family and was born after she left.The nickname is Xiaohu.

"Xiaohu, it's not sister, but auntie." Seniority can't be bad.

Xiaohu seemed a little afraid of Yang Qiong, so he shut his mouth tightly after hearing her and hid behind his mother.

Everyone started to eat.When Shen Qiuhua just entered the table, he swept through the food, which can only be described as rough tea and light rice.The only thing that was on the countertop was a small pot in the center of the table, with a chicken stewed in it.

At this time, Xiaohu reached out for chicken legs.On one side, two children also wanted chicken legs.But a chicken only has two legs, and now the three children will quit, crying and clamoring, reaching out to the table to grab it.

Father Yang, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly said loudly: "What does it look like! Let outsiders see the joke!"

There was an immediate silence below.The children were hugged by their respective mothers, but none of them dared to speak out.

Looking at this scene, Shen Qiuhua felt that Father Yang still had a very important status in this family.But it's not the same as the parents.

She turned her head and glanced at Yang Qiong, who smiled helplessly at her.Shen Qiuhua's hand under the table quietly took Yang Qiong's hand and squeezed it tightly.

The dinner was quiet, and Father Yang's volume was also lowered. "Eat well."

The chicken legs were distributed to Yang Qiong and Shen Qiuhua.Neither of them ate it, and gave it to a nearby child.As a result, Xiaohu, who was facing them, was not happy.But Yang's father lost his temper just now, and he didn't dare to make a fuss.I was so wronged that I was about to cry.

Shen Qiuhua saw it, but felt that he, an outsider, didn't need to come forward to coax a child.She maintained the reserve and courtesy that a guest should have, that's all.Yang Qiong's thinking is similar to Shen Qiuhua's. She doesn't feel the warmth of this family, so she also regards herself as a guest.

Seeing her grandson's grievance, Mother Yang took a piece of chicken breast to him. "Little Tiger, this piece of meat is the most, here it is."

Xiaohu gnawed on the meat, and then smiled.

A meal is rather dull.During the dinner, Yang Qiong's brothers inquired about Yang Qiong's income, and after hearing that it was only enough for food and clothing, they had no interest in continuing the conversation.

After the meal, the daughters-in-law are responsible for cleaning up the dishes.Yang Qiong and Shen Qiuhua were allowed to sit in the back room.Shen Qiuhua just sat there, Yang's father and Yang's mother were busy working, Yang Qiong's brothers were chatting in another room, passing a few words from time to time.Yang Qiong's sister-in-laws were all taking their children to clean up the dishes, and no one came to accompany them.

Yang Qiong was a little embarrassed, "I have wronged you."

Shen Qiuhua looked at her, thinking that in the past, she would face this kind of situation every time she went home, or it was worse than this kind of situation, and felt sad in her heart.

"They are deliberately avoiding you." Shen Qiuhua could see this.

Yang Qiong nodded. "I didn't grow up in this family, so I'm not close to them. When my parents adopted me to someone else, they thought I didn't exist. Originally, I didn't want to go back to this family, but the rules of the family, my adoption When there is no one in that branch, I will go back to the original branch." She smiled wryly, "Fortunately, I am a woman and will not divide my parents' property, otherwise I guess I wouldn't even have to eat this meal today."

"Where are your older sisters?" Shen Qiuhua knew that Yang Qiong was the youngest child of the Yang family.During the banquet today, she only saw her brothers, but she didn't even see a single sister.

"They all married outside the mountains. They can't come back once a year." Yang Qiong has two older sisters, both of whom are much older than her, so they are also not close to her, even if they meet in person, they will not be close.

Shen Qiuhua didn't know what to say about such a family.She comes from a big family and has seen too many struggles in the family.The wives and concubines fight, the concubines fight, and the side branches and the family also fight.But that kind of fighting is real, without any family affection.You are ruthless to me, and I am ruthless to you.Everyone uses their own methods to succeed.

Yang Qiong What is this?There is no fight, everyone's scheming is hidden in their hearts.Then unanimously carried out cold violence against Yang Qiong.Parents are like this, brothers and sisters-in-law are like this, even those children are not close to Yang Qiong, no wonder Yang Qiong never wants to talk about her family.

"Let's leave in two days." Seeing that her parents are in good health and her brothers are alive and well, Yang Qiong has nothing to miss.She originally said to stay for three or five days, but she actually wanted to leave right now.

"It's all up to you." Shen Qiuhua rested his head on Yang Qiong's shoulder.At this time, she is most like a gentle wife. No matter where her husband is going or what he is going to do, she can only rely on and follow her husband wholeheartedly.

Yang Qiong raised her head, suddenly her nose felt a little sour.These years, she has been wandering outside, doing the most dangerous things, and she may die anytime, anywhere.She also told her parents about the dangers of her career, but her parents just told her to "be careful" and nothing else.Even these three words are so perfunctory.She didn't understand why she was so indifferent to her, since she was also her mother's child.

Sometimes she feels that she will go to the army and choose a life-threatening career, maybe she is just angry with her parents.Don't you care about me?When the news of my death comes from afar one day, will you feel guilty?Will you regret it?So she was never afraid of death.Death may make parents regret it, so this is also a good result.

Calculating carefully, if she hadn't traveled to ancient times and met Shen Qiuhua, if Shen Qiuhua hadn't returned to the modern society with her, maybe she would have died in a certain fight.

With care, there is a direction.She is afraid of death now because of the woman beside her.Originally, she thought that fear of death meant that she was weak, but now she understood that fear of death was not weakness, on the contrary, it meant that she was stronger than before.

With you, I can overcome obstacles and move forward bravely.

"Yang Qiong." Probably sensing the silence of the people around him, Shen Qiuhua said softly, "You still have me."

Yang Qiong turned her head and saw the beautiful face on her shoulders close at hand. "Yes, I still have you."

It was late at night, and Yang Qiong's brothers and sisters-in-law all took the gifts from Yang Qiong and took their children back to their respective homes.Mother Yang arranged a room for the two of them.They were originally in the same room with Yang's father and Yang's mother, but Yang Qiong firmly disagreed.She herself doesn't care.But if Shen Qiuhua were to sleep in the same room as a man, she guessed that Shen Qiuhua wouldn't be able to sleep all night.Even if that person is Father Yang.

Yang's mother rarely saw Yang Qiong insist on one thing so much, so she had no choice but to arrange for the two of them to sleep with Erhong.

Erhong was still playing with the Barbie doll, the little girl looked very focused.Shen Qiuhua was so tired this day, he tried hard not to be disrespectful in front of the Yang family, and now he was sitting on a chair and was about to fall asleep.

After Yang Qiong spread out the quilt, when she turned her head and saw Shen Qiuhua's appearance, her heart was full of distress.She lightly picked up Shen Qiuhua and put him on the bed.

Shen Qiuhua barely opened his eyes, seeing that it was Yang Qiong, he leaned his head directly on her shoulder, and closed his eyes again.

Yang Qiong is funny, she really looks like a small animal.He helped her undress and changed into her pajamas.Shen Qiuhua was about to get up again in a daze.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Yang Qiong held her steady, for fear that she would fall.

"Take a shower!" Shen Qiuhua muttered.

"How can I take a shower here? I'll get you a towel to wipe it off. You can lie down and leave the rest to me." Yang Qiong was afraid that Shen Qiuhua would fall off the bed when she left, and put her down directly. on the bed.

Yang Qiong went to the outside yard to draw water from the well, and brought in a basin.The water from the newly dug well was freezing cold, so she scooped up two scoops of hot water from the kitchen cauldron.I reached out and touched it, the water temperature was just right, and then brought it into the house.

She took out a towel from her backpack and soaked it in the basin, wrung it dry, and came over to help Shen Qiuhua wipe his face and hands carefully.At this time, Shen Qiuhua was completely asleep.No matter how much Yang Qiong tossed about, there was no sign of waking up.

Yang Qiong's movements were very gentle, and the towel in her hand depicted Shen Qiuhua's extremely beautiful face in detail.Gently brushing her lips, the pink color is extremely attractive.Yang Qiong was itchy to watch, but seeing Er Hong who put down the Barbie doll and stared at her, she had no choice but to clear her throat and put on a serious look.

"Sister-in-law, is Aunt Shen asleep?" Erhong sat by the bed and watched Yang Qiong wipe Shen Qiuhua's face.

"Yes, Aunt Shen walked a lot today and is exhausted." Yang Qiong began to wipe Shen Qiuhua's hands.

Erhong tilted her head and looked, "Aren't you tired, sister?"

"Sister-in-law is used to it, so I'm not tired." It was rare for a relative to be so close to him, and Yang Qiong's attitude was very good.

Erhong looked down at Shen Qiuhua again, "Aunt Shen is so pretty. She's even prettier than Sister Qiu, the prettiest girl in the village."

"Sister Qiu? Who is it?" Yang Qiong didn't remember such a person in his memory.

"It's sister Qiu from the second grandpa's fourth uncle's house." Erhong said naturally.

"Yang Qiu?" Yang Qiong remembered.The second grandfather is Yang's father's second brother, and his family has a granddaughter named Yang Qiu.Yang Qiu was only twelve or thirteen years old when she left last time, but she already looked very beautiful.It must be twenty by now.

"That's right, it's sister Yang Qiu. She's the prettiest person in our village." Erhong became excited when she mentioned this.

"Is she married?" People in the mountains get married early, and Yang Qiong probably is.
