Chapter 61: Fool Farming 33
The Qin family was busy from morning till night today, and several dishes were cooked by Qin's father and mother themselves.
Even the fish were shipped in from far away at a cost the night before, simply because the fish were delicious and nutritious.
The Qin family, who originally just wanted to have a reunion dinner with their daughter, did not expect that so many guests would suddenly come to their home.
Lin Manman rarely went out since her face was ruined that day, and even when she went out, she would wrap her face with a scarf.
Even so, Lin Manman was almost driven crazy by the pimples all over her face.
Lin's mother took Lin Manman to several hospitals, and the doctors said that her face was irritated and infected. They could only prescribe some medicine to temporarily suppress the itching, but if she wanted to cure it completely, she would need to apply the medicine for three months.
Avoid direct sunlight during this period.
Under such circumstances, it would have been inconvenient for Lin Manman to go out.
But Lin's father got two high-quality ginsengs some time ago, and after much thought, he asked Lin's mother to send them to the Qin family.
In the past, even if the Lin family had ginseng, they would not have the opportunity or connections to send it to the Qin family.
But last time Qin Wenye went to Lin's father for information, so with this relationship, the Lin family must find a way to establish some relationship with the Qin family.
I don’t know what Lin’s mother was thinking, but she took Lin Manman with her face covered.
When the Lin family arrived at the Qin family, Pei Xin and Pei's mother were already seated there.
At the Qin family, Pei Xin's spoiled temper was much restrained, and she sat on the sofa obediently like a lady from a noble family.
In the gap between the conversation between his mother and Qin's mother, he added a few words with honey on his lips.
After finding her daughter, Qin's mother no longer had the sad look on her face. She now looked as cheerful as if she were in the spring breeze.
Seeing Lin's mother coming, although Qin's mother was not familiar with the Lin family, she had met them twice in formal occasions.
He did not show favoritism. After asking people to sit down, he called Aunt Rong to bring them tea.
After chatting for a few words, Aunt Rong came over and whispered in Qin's mother's ear.
Mother Qin was now less elegant and leisurely. She apologized to the guests and said a few words of advice, then hurried to the kitchen.
Just then, Qin's mother was stewing soup, and when the guests came, she helped and asked Aunt Rong to watch for a while.
Tang Qin's mother cooked the meal herself and did not allow anyone else to help. Aunt Rong did not dare to do it on her own, and when she saw that the time was almost up, she came over to inform Qin's mother.
Mother Pei looked at Mother Qin's hurried steps, and her concern for the status of the daughter who had just been found in the Qin family increased a little more.
Pei Xin relaxed and glanced at Lin's mother and the other person beside him.
"Aunt Lin, what happened to Manman?"
There was more gloating in his tone.
Lin Manman and Pei Xin didn't get along well. Pei Xin was used to being spoiled and willful, and she disdained Lin Manman for being so weak and crying all the time.
The key point is that every time Lin Manman appears in front of others, she looks like she is being bullied, which causes the young men of the same age to defend her.
Fortunately, Lin Manman followed Zhao Zhengnan to the countryside a year ago.
It sounds nice to say that she is trying to build the countryside and be a good comrade, but everyone knows that she wants to climb up the big tree of Zhao Zhengnan.
But when Pei Xin saw Lin Manman today, he thought to himself that Lin Manman was an idiot.
I went to the countryside and ended up like this.
His originally fair skin had been tanned to a yellowish brown, and he was extremely skinny due to the lack of nutrition in the countryside. His face was even bandaged, probably because he knew that he looked too shameful to be seen in public.
It's crazy to make yourself like this for Zhao Zhennan.
Originally, Zhao Zhengnan neither took the initiative nor refused Lin Manman. Now that this is the case, it would be strange if Zhao Zhengnan liked her!
Mother Lin smiled stiffly: "Manman has been a little allergic recently, and her face cannot be exposed to the light."
It was only when Mother Lin arrived here that she learned that Miss Qin was going home today. It was also only today that she heard that there was actually a young lady in the Qin family.
A few people were chatting in a nonchalant manner when Master Qin came in.
Mr. Qin and Mr. Pei have some friendship, so Pei Xin has more opportunities to interact with Mr. Qin, and the two are closer.
Pei Xin's identity as fiancée was verbally decided by the two old men.
So when Pei Xin saw Mr. Qin coming in, he greeted him warmly.
"Grandpa Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time. Last time I brought you some cakes from the Imperial Family, but they were thrown to the ground by a rude woman on the way. I brought them to you again today."
Old Master Qin is always serious, but there is a hint of smile on his face.
"Are you bringing it for me or for that kid Wen Ye?"
Pei Xin's little thoughts were exposed at once, and her face turned red with shyness and a little frustration: "Grandpa is teasing me again, I haven't seen Brother Wen Ye for a long time."
Pei's mother, who was standing by, saw this scene and smiled with relief.
The Qin family has always been vague about the relationship between Qin Wenye and Pei Xin. As the girl's family, the Pei family would never take the initiative to bring up the matter of engagement.
However, Qin Wenye didn't get close to any girl.
Considering Mr. Qin’s connections, it was only a matter of time before the two children got together.
Normally, Mr. Qin is a scary elder in the eyes of the younger generations.
After all, Grandpa Qin served in the army all his life and had actually been on the battlefield and killed the enemy. The murderous aura from him was too much for these spoiled children to bear.
But today, since Mr. Qin sat down, he has made two phone calls.
"Ask Duoduo how long it will take to arrive?"
"Did you prepare any food for Duoduo on the way? Eat something to fill your stomach first."
Duoduo was the nickname the Qin family gave Lingyao when she was a child. Although Lingyao showed extreme resistance to this nickname, Master Qin was used to calling her that and couldn't change it all of a sudden.
Half an hour later, Qin Wenye came in with his sister.
This time, the Qin family finally restrained themselves and there was no welcoming ceremony as last time.
However, Qin's father and mother still came out to pick him up in person.
The old man was unable to move, so he was tricked by Qin's father and fell behind, cursing.
Pei Xin was dragged here by her mother without having lunch. She had been waiting for such a long time that she was already getting impatient.
But the old man hadn't started the meal yet, so as guests, they could only wait.
This girl that the Qin family brought back from the countryside was really grand.
Just as Pei Xin was thinking this, a few people walked in through the open door.
Her pupils suddenly shrank and her eyes were stunned for a moment.
The girl was wearing a blue knee-length skirt with a black butterfly around her waist that spread to her lower back.
The butterfly spread its wings and fluttered in the air, with two irregular black gauze ribbons hanging from the tail of the wings, all the way down to the slender white calves.
His facial features are delicate and his eyes are cold.
The eyes that swept over from behind the curtain contained no emotion at all.
Pei Xin stood up suddenly, his clenched fingers trembling at the sides of his legs.
Everyone's attention was attracted by Pei Xin's extreme reaction.
Pei's mother also stood up and quickly took Pei Xin's hand.
He whispered, "What are you doing? I'm warning you, be more restrained today."
