Chapter 14 Consultation ([-])

Qi Younian saw that Ye Xinyan brought dumplings, and hurriedly got down from the kang, "Your mother-in-law is really polite, and your life is not easy, why do you give me dumplings?"

He said so without refusing, took the dumplings and poured them on his own plate, but did not return the empty bowl to Ye Xinyan, and set aside half of the braised pork that was just served, "This is Chinese New Year, Always make some food to suit the occasion, and everyone can eat together, and you can have a sweet and sweet meal. You and your mother-in-law should also try the old man's cooking skills."

Ye Xinyan took the bowl embarrassingly, "Look, we thought we'd trouble you these days, and made some delicious food for you to taste, but in exchange for you a big bowl of braised pork. It’s a bit of a loss here, but it doesn’t hurt at all.”

Qi Younian laughed and said: "They are all neighbors, how can I count so clearly? My clothes for the past few months have been washed, washed, and mended by your family. If I really count carefully, I will not be able to count. Go back to eat Well, your mother-in-law must be waiting."

Qi Younian sent Ye Xinyan out before returning.Looking at the hot dumplings on the plate, she thought that the Ye family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law knew how well people behaved, so it would be easy to handle and they could discuss things.About returning to my hometown, I can talk about it with Ye Zi when I am free in New Year's Eve.

The Ye family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, like Qi Younian, have no relatives to move around in Miyi County.Even if Qi Younian has a few co-workers who work together and know each other well, they don't have deep friendships under Qi Younian's deliberate alienation, so naturally they won't come to disturb others during the Chinese New Year.

During the family reunion festival like Chinese New Year, two or three people are free.

Ye Xinyan was still worrying about their future whereabouts, so Qi Younian talked to her.

It was the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, and two young couples in the yard took their children back to their natal home.Another old resident had two married daughters who were chatting lively in the house when they came back.

There were only two children in thick clothes playing in the yard, and it was quieter than usual.

Ye Xinyan saw that although Qi Younian had a gentle expression, he seemed to have something serious to say, so she hurried over and asked, "Old man, are you looking for me?"

Qi Younian nodded, "I have something to discuss with you." He considered his words for a while, "I think your family is your master, so I'll talk to you first. If you think it's okay, go back and talk to your mother-in-law. If you think it's wrong, just pretend I didn't say it, and you don't have to tell your mother-in-law."

"Okay, let's discuss it in your room." Ye Xinyan nodded suspiciously.

Old Uncle Qi was someone who could be trusted. Ye Xinyan was surprised that the old man would discuss with them, the orphan and widow, if he had anything to do.She didn't avoid suspicion by saying that her family was in charge of her.

In ancient times, the defense of men and women mostly required a big house.In a place where the poor live together, it would be nice for the family to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. How can there be so much leisure and leisure?
Qi Younian let Ye Xinyan into the room directly.Although the poor are not so particular, he still talks with the door half open in the middle of winter.

There is only one room in Qi Younian's house, which is the same as Ye Xinyan's rented house. Once you enter the door, you can see all your belongings.In the back of the room is a small kang, on which there is a simple table, and on one side of the kang is a stove that can be used to heat the kang and cook.The rest of the odds and ends were placed against the walls.

Ye Xinyan didn't sit on the edge of the kang, she just moved a stool and sat on it.

Qi Younian poured tea for her and put it by her hand.

After Qi Younian sat down on the kang, Ye Xinyan asked: "What does the old man want to say, he looks very solemn, is it something important?"

Old Uncle Qi nodded dully, and it was a little difficult to say, "Well, speaking of it, my old man has something to ask of you, and if he said it seriously, he meant taking advantage of others' danger."

Ye Xinyan quickly put down the cup in her hand, and said: "What did the old man say, you said it just now, just talk to me, and we can discuss it if you have anything to do. If you have something to say, if we can help, We will definitely not shirk it. If we can’t do it, no matter how determined we are, I’m afraid we don’t have the ability.”

It seems that the old man really has something to do, but he told her in the yard, and only talked to her. If she thinks something is wrong, she doesn't even need to tell Nanny Jin, just treat it as nothing.Speaking of this, the old man is still so embarrassed, I don't know what's going on.

"Let me tell you about my affairs first..." In order to reassure Ye Xinyan, Qi Younian first explained his past clearly.

The more Ye Xinyan listened to it, the more she felt that Uncle Qi's experience was comparable to a big drama, with ups and downs and magnificent waves.This old man, who was getting old, had actually been the overlord of an industry when he was young, and even fought on the battlefield.

Would it be so powerful, Ye Xinyan was secretly speechless.

Qi Younian looked at Ye Xinyan's surprised expression, and asked tentatively: "I have been in prison, if you feel uneasy, go back and think about it. My matter can be postponed for a while."

Ye Xinyan quickly waved her hand, "No, no, it depends on the reason for being in prison. Besides, even if you really violated the king's law, it depends on whether the person has sincerely corrected it or not. You have said so much, but I still don't understand you. the meaning of."

According to what Old Uncle Qi said, he has already put aside what happened back then. Now that he has let go, what else needs to be solved?What's more, what old man Qi said was quite big, even if her two weak women helped each other, they couldn't help.

According to the contacts of the past few months, the old man is an open-minded person.He is an old resident of this yard. He heard from the neighbors that although the old man has no deep contact with the neighbors, he has always done his duty.So Ye Xinyan didn't really care much about Qi Younian's meal in prison.

Qi Younian saw that Ye Xinyan's expression did not seem to be fake, and then said: "Let me ask a question about Chao Yue, did you and your mother-in-law escape from home?"

Ye Xin's face froze for a moment, he neither agreed nor refuted, just looked at old man Qi with a faint smile, waiting for him to say the next thing.

Qi Younian also smiled, "It seems that I guessed right, Ye Zi is young, but very calm. Judging by your looks, you don't plan to go back again, right?"

Ye Xinyan still didn't speak.

"That's right. I think you and your mother-in-law are not like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but rather like a pair of master and servant, and they are really troubled by household registration these days." Uncle Qi restrained his smile, with a heavy expression on his face, "I'm getting older , In the past two years, I have been homesick. Especially this year, I miss my hometown and my parents and brothers in my hometown. See if it can be like this. You can accompany me back to my hometown in Eastern Henan. I will recognize you as my granddaughter. In the future, you You and your mother-in-law have a legitimate household registration. Do you think it will work?"

Ye Xinyan looked at old man Qi for a long time, and was very tempted by his proposal.The old man, who had been away from home for decades, brought his granddaughter back to his hometown. He wanted to follow the management of the village. With old man Qi's guide slip, it should be no problem to house the three of them.

If this is the case, the problems of household registration and where to stay that bother them will be solved.Presumably, as Old Uncle Qi's identity as a poor man, and far away from the countryside and mountain villages, she and the Duke's Mansion will never have any intersection again.
