Chapter 173 The Xue Family Girl's Entanglement
As soon as the children entered the house, wow! The pervasive fragrance was like magic, instantly attracting all their attention.
Their eyes suddenly became bright.
Qin Xiang was like a super brave little warrior, and he rushed to the dining table in a flash. His younger brothers and sisters behind him were not willing to fall behind, so they all quickened their pace.
Although Yueyue ran slowly, like a little snail, she also tried her best to move her arms and legs. Her eager look seemed to say, "I want to get to the dining table quickly too!"
Yueyue was so excited that she danced with joy, waving her hands and shouting, "I want to eat that delicious dish!"
Qin Mu supported Yueyue as she climbed onto the stool, fearing that she would fall accidentally.
Sisi kept swallowing her saliva while running, her eyes fixed on the delicious food on the table, as if it was the most delicious thing in the world.
Linlin and Xiaoxiao held hands and ran towards their seats with cheerful steps.
After a while, the children all sat around the dining table, waiting impatiently for the meal to start. Their expectant looks were so adorable.
After a while, the last few dishes came out of the pot one after another, and the aroma filled the whole house.
Qin Youwen smiled and said, "Okay, the dishes are all here, let's eat."
The children filled their bowls with vegetables and ran to the yard to eat.
In the yard, the children sat together, eating delicious food and chattering.
Sisi's mouth was stuffed full, her little face puffed up like a cute little bun, and she mumbled incoherently: "This dish is so delicious. It's been a long time since I tasted my mother's cooking."
"I'm getting tired of eating the fish cooked by my second uncle every day." Qin Xiao said secretly to Qin Mu.
Qin Mu smiled and wiped the rice grains from the corners of his mouth, saying softly, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
Yueyue and Xiaoxiao were comparing who had more food in their bowl. Their two little heads were put together, laughing and making a lot of noise.
Linlin ate quietly, occasionally looking up at the other children, her eyes full of joy, and then seemed thoughtful, as if she had something on her mind.
The adults looked at the lively children with doting smiles on their faces.
Qin Youwen looked at the table full of delicious food, his heart filled with joy and satisfaction.
He picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and the mellow aroma of the wine spread in his mouth.
After putting down the wine glass, Qin Youwen turned slightly and looked at Su Panpan with a gentle smile on his face.
"Panpan, how is the progress of the house now?" Qin Youwen looked at Su Panpan expectantly while gently stroking the edge of the wine glass with his hand.
Su Panpan stopped picking up the food, thought for a moment, then replied with a smile, "The house is progressing quite smoothly. The main structure is almost done, and the next step is some work on the internal walls, floors, and fences."
Qin Youwen listened and nodded, saying, "That's good, that's good."
"Come, Uncle Er, let me toast you. Thank you for helping me take care of the children during this period."
"Now that Qin Mu's children are grown up and sensible, they don't need to worry about it anymore."
The two of them clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
"We are so familiar with each other, so don't be polite. Feel free to eat." Shen Ru greeted everyone.
Erniu responded with a hearty smile: "I won't be polite with you, Auntie."
Inside the house, the sounds of adults talking and the laughter of children in the yard intertwined together, forming a warm and beautiful picture.
The cool sunlight shines into the yard, bringing a slightly cool tranquility.
The clouds on the horizon were dyed a light silver-gray, as if covered by frost, revealing a solemn beauty.
In the distance, green mountains roll and undulate, and most of the trees on the mountains have turned gray-brown, with only a few pine and cypress trees still green.
The blue sky and white clouds seemed particularly high at this time, and only dry branches were left of the trees in the yard, trembling slightly in the wind.
A few branches of wintersweets bloomed quietly in the corner of the wall. The yellow flowers dotted on the branches like stars, emitting bursts of fragrance.
After dinner, Su Panpan took the children back home.
Xiaoxiao heard from the villagers that her mother would be back today. She knew that her mother was very particular about her sleeping environment. So, she made the bed early in the morning, replaced the covers on the pillows, mattress pads, and quilts, and dried them in the sun.
Having a good daughter is so caring. No wonder they say daughters are caring little cotton-padded jackets.
Qin Mu was boiling water in the kitchen, while Yueyue and Qin Xiao were teasing the vixen and chickens in the yard.
Xiaoxiao took the quilt back to the room and tidied the sheets and quilt covers with Su Panpan.
Suddenly, Xiaoxiao looked out the door, then walked closer to Su Panpan and said in a low voice with a serious expression: "Mom, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you."
"What's the matter? Tell me." Su Panpan asked casually while busy with work.
"A new family moved into the west of the village a while ago. I think their surname is Xue. They have a daughter. I heard from the villagers that she seems to be a year or two older than Qin Mu."
"Well, then what? What does this have to do with us? What's wrong with being one or two years older than Qin Mu?" Su Panpan has been busy with her hands. She has been busy with the house matters recently and her brain has been exhausted. As a result, her brain is not fully functioning now.
"I saw that girl always find excuses to come to our place and always get close to Brother Qin Mu." Although Xiaoxiao hasn't started dating like other girls, she has already begun to vaguely understand some of the differences between men and women.
"Has anything excessive happened now? Has anything extraordinary been done?" Su Panpan was a little nervous now. She stopped what she was doing and looked at Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao frowned and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Mom, one day I saw that woman, she actually...actually pulled Brother Qin Mu's arm." Xiaoxiao's voice was full of surprise and anger.
When Su Panpan heard this, she stopped what she was doing and her expression turned serious. "When did this happen? How did Qin Mu react?"
"Just a few days ago, I saw it when I went to the village. Brother Qin Mu seemed very surprised and quickly shook off her hand. The woman also looked aggrieved, as if Brother Qin Mu had bullied her."
Xiaoxiao became more and more excited as she spoke, "Mom, that woman definitely has bad intentions. She keeps pestering Brother Qin Mu."
Su Panpan stood up and paced back and forth in the room, thinking about what to do.
"Xiaoxiao, you didn't tell anyone about this, did you?"
"No. I'm really confused by that woman's behavior. Why does she keep getting close to Brother Qin Mu? He doesn't seem to be welcoming her at all."
"Don't make it public yet. Mother will first find out what the situation is with that family."
"Yeah, okay." Xiaoxiao nodded.
