The deceased has passed away, no matter how sad your heart is, you still have to live a good life.

The Chinese New Year is just a few days away. Jing Heng doesn't have to go to the Yamen. Even if he has urgent business, he can handle it at home. Mo Mo Nao Nao doesn't have to go to the Xu Mansion to attend classes. He just gets up at 00:00 every day and goes to the martial arts field to practice basic skills.

Qin Xiaoxiao is not as busy as before. She has more free time and is able to spend more time and energy with her children, mainly teaching July and August to speak.

The two sisters are relatively late to speak, and they are slow-tempered. They are not very active in learning. Sometimes they will become impatient after learning several times and fail to learn.

Reluctant to open his mouth again.

Fortunately, there were two sons in front of him, which tempered Qin Xiaoxiao's patience, otherwise the two little girls would have been brutally attacked.

However, Qin Xiaoxiao worked hard to teach for a few days, but seeing no results, her patience was not that good, so she simply left this important task to her two sons and let them play with their sisters.

The two brothers couldn't help but take their sisters everywhere after practicing and studying, and they did so as well as the servants. In just two days, the two little girls learned a lot of words.

Qin Xiaoxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and grabbed the little girl in August to try out the effect: "Come on, follow mother and learn to call grandpa, grandpa - grandpa."

August blinked her big shining eyes and looked at her mother with a silly smile: "Yeah~"

"No, it's Ye-ye." Qin Xiaoxiao corrected the little girl's pronunciation, trying to help her learn this title before leaving for Qin Mansion in Le'an on the second day of the first lunar month.

August shook his head and said in a milky voice: "Yaya~"

Momo couldn't stand it anymore, so he squatted in front of his mother, held his sister's little hand and taught her: "Little sister, it's grandpa, not Yaya. If you learn how to do it, my brother will give you sweets, okay?"

When Qin Xiaoxiao heard this, he looked at his eldest son warily: "Did you give your sister candy?"

Realizing that she had let slip, Momo hurriedly tried to save her: "Mom, I didn't feed my sisters whole pieces of candy. I just broke it into pieces and fed them a little bit to sweeten their mouths."

Mom has said that the sisters are still young and their teeth have not grown properly, so candy can easily stick to their throats. This is very dangerous and may cause suffocation. He will definitely not do this.

Qin Xiaoxiao's expression slowed down and she warned: "My sister can't eat sweets now, not even a little bit of powder. If you feel sorry for your sister, save up your snack money and buy it for them when your sister can eat sweets."

eat."

Mo Mo nodded repeatedly: "Mom, I understand, and I won't do this again in the future."

The mother and son didn't realize that when the "candies" popped out of their mouths one after another, the little girl's saliva flowed down her chin, and her scorching little eyes were brighter than those of the tiger staring at the bones.

a bit.

After Qin Xiaoxiao finished talking to her eldest son, she accidentally saw her little girl's greedy look and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Is sugar so delicious? I can wash my face when I talk about sugar."

After saying that, she picked up the handkerchief and wiped the little girl's saliva.

The little girl turned her head unhappily, stretched out her white and tender little hands to grab her elder brother's hand, and said vaguely: "Sugar...sugar..."

Momo was extremely embarrassed and patiently coaxed her little sister: "Brother doesn't have candy, and you can't eat candy either. When you grow up, would you like me to buy a house full of candy for you?"

The little girl couldn't understand such a long paragraph. When she saw that her brother's palm was empty and there was no candy at all, she flattened her mouth and said, "Guo Guo, candy, eat, eat..."

Seeing her uttering several words in a row, Qin Xiaoxiao was angry and funny. He poked her forehead and cursed: "I have the same virtue as your two brothers!"

As long as I have candy to eat, I don’t care about anything else.

Silently muttering: "Mom, why are you taking my brother and me with your fierce sister?"

Qin Xiaoxiao hummed: "If you hadn't used sweets to coax my sister, would my sister be like this?"

Momo knew that he was in the wrong, and watched his sister sigh quietly and stopped talking.

August yelled for a long time, but when she saw that her mouth was dry and her brother didn't bring out the candy, she was disappointed and stopped yelling, and she didn't want to learn to talk to her mother.

Qin Xiaoxiao did not give up and kept repeating the word "Grandpa" in her ear.

The little girl was probably tired of the nagging, so she finally couldn't help but shouted with all her strength: "Grandpa——"

The cry of "Grandpa" was so clear that Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned. You must know that this girl has been calling her "Mother" for several months. She couldn't even call her "Mother" clearly, and she never called "Dad" or "Brother"

Right.

After reacting, Qin Xiaoxiao kissed her little daughter hard on the cheek: "Good girl, you are so smart!"

August liked her mother's kisses very much, her pink face burst into laughter, and she responded to her mother's wet kisses: "Giggle~"

When the little girl was willing to speak, Qin Xiaoxiao taught her a few more times to make sure that the little girl really knew how to call her grandpa, so he calmly asked her to call her other names.

On the second day of the first lunar month, a family of six accompanied the princess of the country to have breakfast, then got on the carriage and headed for Le'an. In the afternoon, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Qin Mansion.

Without being informed by the concierge, Qin Xiaoxiao and Jing Heng took the children and walked straight to the room where Mrs. Qin's coffin was placed. When they were about to reach the door, Qin Huai, dressed in plain clothes, came out of the room.

Seeing a family of six, his thin and weathered face showed a slight smile: "Here we come."

"Grandpa!" Silent Noisy ran over and grabbed grandpa's hands from left to right.

"Grandpa, did you not eat well?" Momo said worriedly, always feeling that he had lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for a few days, and he almost couldn't recognize him anymore.

"Don't worry, grandpa is eating well." Qin Huai rubbed his grandson's little head, feeling warm in his heart.

Silently unable to tell the truth from the false, he said like a little adult: "Grandpa, you are an adult and you have to take care of yourself. You cannot be willful like a picky child."

Nao Nao said seriously: "If you don't eat well, grandma will be worried."

Qin Huai's eyes were a little bitter, and he took his two grandsons into his arms: "Well, okay, grandpa will listen to you and will eat well so that you won't worry grandma too much."

The twins had never been deceived by their grandfather, so they believed that his grandfather would do what he said, and they immediately felt relieved.

Qin Xiaoxiao walked over with August in hand, and took the little girl's hand: "Call Grandpa."

Qin Huai looked at his daughter suddenly and couldn't believe his ears.

In August, I often go to the Qin Mansion, and even though I haven’t seen him for several days, I still feel a little familiar with Qin Huai. After hearing her mother’s reminder, she shouted neatly: “Grandpa!”

This shout made Qin Huai completely convinced that he heard correctly. His trembling hands touched the top of August's hair, and a smile that looked like crying but not crying appeared on his face: "Hey!"

Not to mention the ups and downs of Qin Huai's mood, Qin Xiaoxiao and Jing Heng took their four children to Mrs. Qin's memorial tablet and kowtow to Mrs. Qin's head.

It was already getting late, so Qin Xiaoxiao and Jing Heng could not leave in a hurry with their children to go to Xiaoliju. The couple decided to stay one night in the Qin Mansion, take the children to spend time with Qin Huai, and go directly to the Qin family to pay New Year greetings tomorrow morning.

Fortunately, the Qin Mansion was renovated after Qinhuai's promotion. Although the house was not big, it was more than enough to accommodate them and their party.

Qin Huai was extremely happy when he learned that they were going to stay. He immediately ordered people to clean up a small courtyard and asked the kitchen to prepare several meat dishes for the four silent brothers and sisters to eat.

Qin Xiaoxiao stopped him and asked Jing Que to help in the kitchen. There was no need to prepare meat dishes, just make two more dishes based on tofu.

During the period of observing filial piety, they are not allowed to eat meat. Since the children are growing, Qin Xiaoxiao does not force them to eat vegetarian food together, but when they get here, they cannot break the rules, lest word gets out and Qin Huai is criticized for being unfilial.

Fortunately, Mo Mo is not picky about food. As long as the taste of the dishes suits his appetite, he can eat them with or without meat. Nao Nao is also very sensible and will not be picky about eating at this time. Besides, he also likes to eat dishes made from tofu.

The two sisters have completely different tastes in July and August. One loves meat and the other loves vegetarian food. Every time they eat, Qin Xiaoxiao and Jingheng want the sisters to balance it out, but they can only force one of them to eat more vegetables.

, one should eat more meat.

After eating for a while, the couple had to coax Qi Qi. If that didn't work, they had to let her continue to drink milk.

Knowing that the father and daughter had something to say, Jing Heng took several children and went elsewhere.

Qin Huai stroked the tea cup and looked at his daughter who was slowly drinking tea. He still felt unreal: "Have you ever asked your parents about August's surname?"

Qin Xiaoxiao put down the tea cup and nodded: "My parents have no objections. They agreed as soon as I mentioned it."

Qin Huai inhaled slightly, feeling a little excited: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect you would do this..."

Regardless of whether it was out of sympathy or not, he could not refuse a granddaughter with his own surname.

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at his biological father, who was no longer young, and told him his true thoughts for the first time: "In my heart, I already regard you as another father. It's just that my parents not only have the kindness to raise me, but also

I can't turn my back on my parents because of the life-saving grace that brought me out of the dangerous mountains, but August has my blood flowing on her body, so I think it's the same for her to recognize her ancestors and return to the clan."

Qin Huai suddenly turned his head away and covered his eyes tightly.

Qin Xiaoxiao secretly sighed, stood up, walked over and patted his back gently, feeling a little guilty in her heart: If she could have thought of this when July and August were born, her grandma would not have regrets

gone.

After a while, Qin Huai calmed down and his eyes were a little red: "After dinner, I will take August to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors and record her name in the family tree."

Qin Xiaoxiao hesitated and said, "Will this violate the rules? And will the clan leader agree?"

Qin Huai smiled and said: "Our branch is from the Qin family in Qingshan Village, but this branch is very thin. There are only a few people left here when it comes to me, and I am the current clan leader. If those people don't agree, they can leave the clan on their own."

Just set up another branch."

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the domineering man, opened his mouth and was speechless.

With his biological father's temperament, he probably never thought about letting the child born in August bear the surname Qin. He did not hesitate to record August's name in the family tree, just out of a loving heart, so that the child would have the surname of his ancestors.
