After the system ran, I took off with my family

Qin Song took a look at the seafood on the table and was a little surprised, but he did not ask any questions. He just tasted each dish according to Lin Shuyan's recommendation.

In the village not far from the Lin family, women in every household had already brought the carefully prepared meals to the table and poured hot wine for the men in the family. The children looked at the big piece of meat on the table with shining eyes and swallowed their saliva. If it weren't for the elders' warning, they would have started eating it long ago.

After the family members were seated together and the head of the family picked up the first piece of meat with chopsticks, the chopsticks of others immediately rushed to the meat they liked. The children also got the delicious meat dishes fed by their parents. Even if there were many conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or sisters-in-law on weekdays, everyone was much more harmonious today.

Half an hour later, everyone in the Lin family put down their chopsticks and started chatting. The maids had quickly collected the dishes and chopsticks, cleaned the table, and served hot tea.

"It would be nice if Ayuan was home. Today is the first Chinese New Year that our family has celebrated in Lanshan Village. I wonder if Ayuan had a good meal today."

Looking at the bustle in the flower hall, Li couldn't help but think of her eldest son who was in Zhenhai Division, Wanhe County.

Even though she may dislike her children in her daily life, as a mother, there is no mother who doesn't miss her children and thinks about them.

"Aunt, don't worry. Uncle Nian is not the kind of person who treats his subordinates harshly. Ayuan must be having New Year's Eve dinner with his comrades right now." Wu Yuanan put down the cup and comforted her in a gentle voice.

Qin Song, who was sitting opposite, also tried to comfort her: "Yes, auntie, Ayuan just joined the camp this year, so it's hard for him to ask for leave. Wait until next year. He will definitely be able to ask for leave to come back and have a reunion dinner with you during the Chinese New Year."

Li nodded. Seeing that everyone was looking at her with some concern, she quickly changed the subject, "Huaizhi, why have you lost so much weight? No matter how busy you are with official duties, you must eat well and rest well. Good health is the most important thing."

Qin Song didn't expect Li to jump to the topic about him, and laughed: "Aunt, don't worry, I just had a lot of official business a few days ago, and I stayed up late for a few nights, so I lost some weight, but I'm in better health, don't worry."

"Okay, I'm glad you're fine, but you still need to take care of your health. By the way, how are your elders at home? Are they all right?"

Li asked with concern, he left in such a hurry before, it must be that an important elder in the family is sick, who knows...

When Qin Song heard Li's question, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face. The reason he rushed back to the capital this time was not because his elders in the family were seriously ill, but it was just a lie made up by his parents in the letter to trick him into returning to the capital.

"The elders in the family have recovered. Thank you for your concern, auntie."

He hesitated for a moment, but still didn't know how to explain, so he simply replied along the lines of Li.

Seeing that he had no intention of saying more, Li stopped talking.

Because He Yujiao was pregnant, after a brief chat, Wu Yuanan helped her back to the guest house to rest, and come back at midnight to eat dumplings. Qin Song stayed in the flower hall to keep watch with the Lin family.

"Brother Qin, please tell us what the capital is like? Is it lively and prosperous?

I heard from my classmates that the streets of the capital are ten miles long and bustling with people and cars. At night, the lanterns are bright and the flowers are in full bloom. Teahouses are everywhere where students can be seen discussing academic matters.

Lin Shuyan looked at Qin Song excitedly, his eyes shining. Who among all scholars does not yearn for the capital?

Qin Song saw that the Lin family was also staring at him, and he couldn't help but chuckle. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "The capital has a large population and busy traffic..."

"Dad, Mom still refuses to eat..."

At the home of village chief Wang Youzhi, his eldest son Wang Dequan walked up to Wang Youzhi with a bitter face, holding a bowl of steamed food.

Wang Youzhi took a puff of his pipe, and the smoke made Wang Dequan's throat itchy.

"Take it from the kitchen pot and warm it up. Ask your wife to light the fire. Don't let your mother be hungry when she wants to eat."

Zhao Xiaolan washed the dishes and wiped her wet hands on her body. As soon as she entered the house, she heard her father-in-law's words and couldn't help but curl her lips.

In the corner of the main room, the second daughter-in-law Gao Meilian was sitting on a stool, leisurely eating melon seeds, looking as if she was not involved in anything.

"Dad, if you ask me, since Mom was bullied by that little girl from the Lin family, we should go to the Lin family and have a good talk with them."

Wang Dewen, the second son of the Wang family, walked out of the room on the right side of the main hall, followed by Wang Youzhi's most proud grandson, Wang Yongsheng.

"You are an ignorant person. The Lin family did nothing wrong in this matter. What are you going to say?"

Wang Youzhi knocked his pipe on the table and glanced at Wang Dewen in annoyance.

Wang Dewen didn't care about the old man's rolling eyes at all. He walked up to the old man with a playful smile, pulled a bench and sat down. He rolled his eyes and continued, "Dad, listen to me, don't you always say that the old man of the Lin family is kind and has a good heart?

In this matter, it was the little girl from the Lin family who made her mother angry. If her mother really refused to eat and something happened to her health, then the little girl from the Lin family would be guilty of a great sin, and her reputation would be ruined.

Let's have a nice talk with the master of the Lin family and explain to him the seriousness of the situation. We won't make excessive demands and just let the little girl from the Lin family give her mother an apology, and some tens or hundreds of taels of silver. Once her mother calms down, she will naturally be willing to eat.

For the sake of the Lin family girl's reputation, the Lin family will not refuse. Besides, mother is an elder after all, and she is the village chief's wife. They will definitely agree for your sake."

"Dewen, come over here and talk. I can't hear you clearly." Wang Youzhi looked calmly at the second brother, who usually had the most clever ideas.

When Wang Dewen heard what his father said, he quickly pulled a stool and sat in front of him, smiling triumphantly.

"Dad, what do you think of my idea? Isn't it the best of both worlds? It not only makes Mom calm down, but also helps her regain face, and she also gets compensation money.

With this money, your eldest grandson can go to school in the county town, and maybe our family can even buy a small house in the county town."

Wang Youzhi looked at him quietly, suddenly sighed, then stood up abruptly, picked up his pipe and hit Wang Dewen hard.

"Ouch! Dad, you..."

Wang Dewen was so angry at the sudden attack. He was about to ask questions, but the old man hit him with a pipe in his hand with a dark face, cursing: "I will make you beautiful! I will make you beautiful! I will beat you to death, you crooked-minded person!"

"Ouch! Dad, what are you doing?"

Wang Dewen was beaten so hard that he ran away screaming in pain.

"Why did you hit me? What's wrong with me?"

"Ouch, Dad, stop hitting me, please stop! It hurts!"

Wang Youzhi ignored his pleas for mercy and chased him around the room with his pipe in hand.
