Chapter 421 Qin Hai
Sigh, I wonder when this chaotic situation will finally end.
When this matter was brought up, the atmosphere among all the Qin family members present seemed somewhat somber, and no one spoke.
Xu Sui took in everyone's expressions, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she silently lowered her head and ate her food.
When her brother-in-law, Qin Hai, graduated from junior high school and wanted to go to a vocational school to become a teacher, she wrote back and subtly reminded him of this.
Being a teacher these days is not a good choice; if you're not careful, you could get involved in some kind of trouble.
Unfortunately, she couldn't persuade them, but she managed to persuade her sister-in-law Qin Yan and her brother Xu Fei.
However, Qin Yunzhou is a soldier after all, and the Qin family has a very good background. As long as Qin Hai keeps a low profile and doesn't get involved in certain matters, there shouldn't be any major problems.
After finally getting the meat ration coupons, they bought a pound of meat to let the whole family have a taste of meat. Everyone should have been happy.
It seems to be quite different from what I imagined.
Grandma Qin seemed unaffected. Seeing that everyone was barely eating meat and not touching their chopsticks, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"What are you all doing? You're not even eating meat anymore. Although our family is better off now, we're not at the point where we can eat meat whenever we want."
"I think you've all forgotten how your families survived those years of famine. You're all starting to forget your roots."
Grandma Qin rolled up her sleeves, picked up a pair of unused chopsticks, and brought over the meat, dividing it into pieces.
"Alright, alright, let's eat. Stop talking about those trivial things and ruining my mood."
She first gave Xu Sui a few pieces of meat, all of them lean. Xu Sui loves lean meat; she's the only one in the family with such a unique preference.
Grandma Qin remembers it very clearly.
"Come on, Sui Sui, eat some meat. You've been working so hard lately, your face has gotten so thin. You need to eat more to nourish yourself."
Then, Grandma Qin put meat on Qin Yunzhou's plate, as well as on the plates of Yan Yan and Yao Yao.
"And you guys need to eat well too. It's not easy to have meat, so we can't waste it. Back in the years of the Great Famine, let alone meat, we even had trouble getting enough to eat."
"Our family isn't doing much better right now. We're only able to eat meat today because Yunzhou paid for it and gave us the tickets."
"If no one eats it, then give the children some to help them get some nutrition."
Tian Hua and Qin Youtian smiled awkwardly, remained silent, and buried their heads in their food, but they barely ate a few bites.
They knew the old lady had specifically asked them to come, but as parents, they couldn't help but worry about their child who had gotten into trouble outside and hadn't returned.
They weren't the brightest, but they realized they shouldn't have brought up such unpleasant things late at night during dinner, ruining the atmosphere.
The second son and his wife finally managed to buy meat for the family, as a way of showing respect to their elders.
"Grandma, don't put too much on the children's plates. They can't eat that much. Give all of this to Mom and Dad."
When Xu Sui saw that Grandma Qin was about to give the rest of the meat to the children, she quickly reached out to stop her and took the plate from the old lady's hand.
He stood up again, and with clean chopsticks, picked up the remaining meat and put it into the bowls of Tianhua and Qin Youtian respectively.
"Dad, Mom, please don't keep eating these pickled vegetables. This meat was specially bought to show our respect to you and Grandma. If you don't eat it, then Yunzhou and I's good intentions will be wasted."
"Don't worry too much about Xiao Hai. It won't be a big deal. Even if something does happen, there are still so many people in the family."
"Yunzhou and I will buy some things and go to the school to see Xiaohai tomorrow, and also to find out how he is doing. I will absolutely not let anything happen to him, so you can rest assured."
In Xu Sui's memory, her brother-in-law Qin Hai was a well-behaved child.
In the years since Qin Hai started working, he would occasionally write letters to the military and buy gifts for the two children, sending them various items.
Although Qin Hai and Qin Yunzhou hadn't spent much time together, they were still brothers, and Qin Yunzhou also cared about his younger brother from the same parents.
At this moment, Qin Yunzhou nodded, put down his chopsticks, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the grease from the corner of his mouth.
"Dad, Mom, Sui Sui is right, nothing serious will happen."
"Even if something happens, there are so many people at home, so don't worry too much. Sui Sui and I will go to school to see Xiao Hai tomorrow."
Upon hearing the couple's words, Tian Hua and Qin Youtian's eyes lit up, and they became excited. Their lips twitched, but they couldn't help but ask.
"Really...really nothing will happen?"
Despite the small size of their county, several teachers have been reported and demoted, including one who was the principal.
After analyzing the situation in his mind, Qin Yunzhou thought for a moment and then spoke:
"Normally, nothing should happen."
"Let's go take a look tomorrow and ask around; we'll find out then."
To be honest, he only stayed at the Qin family for a year back then. Although they didn't spend much time together, they still developed a lot of feelings for each other.
Especially Qin Hai and Qin Yan, the brother and sister, always followed behind him and Xu Sui, calling them "brother" and "sister-in-law" every day.
In addition, over the years, his two younger siblings would occasionally send things to his two children and write them letters.
So, if he can help, Qin Yunzhou, as the older brother, will definitely lend them a hand.
The relationship between people should be one of give and take, regardless of whether they are relatives or not.
"Okay, okay, then we can rest assured." Tian Hua instantly relaxed and let out a breath.
If we're talking about the most successful members of the Qin family, it's definitely Yunzhou and his wife. Since they've said that, it probably means nothing serious has happened.
After the meal, Xu Sui wanted to help clear the dishes, but Tian Hua quickly refused.
"No, no, no, Sui Sui, you go back and rest. I can manage here. There aren't many bowls and chopsticks, I can manage by myself."
"On the contrary, you have been working hard for your grandmother these past few days. You are already tired enough. You should go back and rest soon."
Her daughter-in-law's hands are for holding pens, not for washing dishes or cleaning up chopsticks.
The old lady had already told her privately that Sui Sui was different now than before. She was now the factory manager, with so many people under her, and she was already a big leader in the factory.
Tell her to be more perceptive and not let Sui Sui get involved in household chores.
And so, Xu Sui was pushed out of the kitchen by Tian Hua.
