Chapter 67 Returning
It was already 9 p.m. when they returned to Qin Village. Qin Yingxue and Song Yanchuan went straight to the Song family home.
After the two returned, Zhu Huiwen took advantage of Qin Yingxue washing up and pulled Song Yanchuan aside to chat for a few minutes.
Qin Yingxue vaguely heard a few words, which were nothing more than telling him that now that he was married, he should take care of his family and not be like before, neglecting everything when he was busy...
After washing up, Qin Yingxue saw that Song Yanchuan was still being scolded by Zhu Huiwen, so she secretly went back to her room with a smile on her face.
Just as he lifted the covers and lay down, Song Yanchuan rubbed his temples and pushed open the door.
"Mom's finally willing to let you off the hook," Qin Yingxue teased with a smile.
Song Yanchuan paused, then walked towards her with a hint of helplessness: "Are you happy to see me being scolded by Mom?"
"Of course." Qin Yingxue smiled, then changed her tone and probed, "What exactly have you been busy with all day?"
As Song Yanchuan unbuttoned his clothes, he glanced at Qin Yingxue with a puzzled look: "Didn't Xu Guohua tell you that he was busy with a case?"
"Can't we tell?" Qin Yingxue frowned deliberately. "What if you deliberately go outside to look at girls and lie to me that you're busy with a case? Nobody will know!"
"Yingxue, I swear I didn't." Song Yanchuan sat down next to Qin Yingxue, his face full of anxiety as he expressed his sincerity, "You're the only one in my heart, I won't even glance at any other woman..."
When Song Yanchuan belatedly realized that Qin Yingxue was looking at him like a kitten who had just stolen some cream, her eyebrows relaxed, her lips curving into a shy smile, Song Yanchuan immediately shut his mouth. Finally, he reached out and ruffled her hair with a hint of helplessness, "Are you so proud of fooling me and framing me? You little ingrate..."
"I didn't!" Qin Yingxue pushed his hand away, feeling a little wronged. "Stop rubbing my head, what if I go silly?"
"Anyway, I'll take care of her. If she's stupid, she won't lie anymore!" Song Yanchuan reached out his long arm and hugged Qin Yingxue tightly.
Settling into her warm and broad bosom, Qin Yingxue's tense heartstrings immediately relaxed.
Song Yanchuan is a soldier, and she was afraid that the system's memory erasure would not be complete, which is why she just tested him.
Now it seems she can rest assured.
Qin Yingxue couldn't help but yawn.
Song Yanchuan got up to turn off the light. When he returned to bed in the dark, he found Qin Yingxue sleeping on the innermost side, far away from him.
Just as Song Yanchuan's large hand touched Qin Yingxue, Qin Yingxue grabbed it, and her sleepy voice came from the darkness: "It's very late today, go to sleep early!"
Sensing Qin Yingxue's aloofness, Song Yanchuan wrapped his arms around her waist and chuckled softly, "Why are you so far away from me? Are you afraid I'll eat you up?"
As soon as Song Yanchuan finished speaking, he noticed that Qin Yingxue's whole body was stiff and tense, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Qin Yingxue had a headache. She wondered if Song Yanchuan still remembered what the doctor at the hospital had said.
Since it was related to Jiang Linlin, she was afraid the system would erase her too thoroughly, so she could only vaguely say, "I'm not feeling well today..."
"I won't touch you." Song Yanchuan quickly understood Qin Yingxue's meaning and said helplessly, "Do you really think I'm a beast? You're my wife. I was reckless last night..."
"Stop talking." Qin Yingxue covered Song Yanchuan's mouth with her hand, her cheeks burning.
Taking the opportunity, Song Yanchuan kissed Qin Yingxue's palm and said gently, "I'll hold you like this while I sleep. If you get enough rest, you'll be more energetic when you go back to your parents' home tomorrow."
Qin Yingxue quickly withdrew her hand, nestled comfortably against Song Yanchuan, and closed her eyes to sleep.
As Song Yanchuan looked at the little woman sleeping with her head on his arm, bathed in the moonlight streaming in through the window, his eyes overflowing with tenderness that was intoxicating.
When she woke up the next day, Song Yanchuan was nowhere to be seen.
Qin Yingxue stretched and yawned, lost in thought for a moment, then got up, dressed, and went out with a refreshed expression.
In the courtyard, Song Yanchuan was chopping firewood with an axe.
As the weather warmed up, Song Yanchuan wore only a short-sleeved shirt, revealing the beautiful lines of his arms, with glistening beads of sweat sliding down them...
Qin Yingxue quickly looked away and began washing up.
Zhu Huiwen poked her head out of the kitchen and invited the two to have breakfast.
Breakfast consisted of congee, boiled eggs, and a dish of pickled cucumbers.
Zhu Huiwen is a very good cook; her pickled cucumbers are very flavorful, with a delicious sweet and sour taste.
Qin Yingxue drank two bowls of porridge with pickled cucumbers and also ate an egg peeled by Song Yanchuan.
After finishing her meal, Zhu Huiwen had already prepared the gifts for the bride's return visit. Watching the young couple go to the Qin family home with affectionate expressions, she then went to the kitchen to wash the dishes with a smile.
"Why did Mom prepare so many gifts for the homecoming?" Qin Yingxue looked at them and found a bag of brown sugar, a bag of white sugar, two bags of pastries, a chicken and a duck. In the countryside, this was considered generous.
"We'll just take what Mom prepared." Song Yanchuan had no concept of these things.
Qin Yingxue remembered that after she married Xie Guodong in her previous life, the Xie family prepared cigarettes, alcohol, and a two-pound pork.
The Xie family is not short of money, but the homecoming gift they prepared was rather perfunctory.
The Song family's circumstances certainly couldn't compare to the Xie family's, but their sentiments were far more profound.
Arriving at the Qin family's door, Qin Yingxue looked at the place where she had lived for a month and found herself with many feelings.
What happened these past few days may only exist in her memory from now on, making her feel even more wistful.
"Sister, brother-in-law, you've arrived!" Qin Dahe's loud voice rang out, and then the door opened, revealing a face with a bright smile.
"Third Brother," Qin Yingxue greeted him with a smile.
Brother Qin smiled and nodded, then, seeing that Song Yanchuan remained silent, deliberately called out, "Brother-in-law..."
Song Yanchuan understood Qin Dahe's meaning perfectly well. He smiled and called out without changing his expression, "Third Brother."
"Hey!" Qin Dahe was immediately delighted and straightened his back proudly.
"Third Brother, you're so childish!" After confirming that Qin Dahe had no aftereffects and was no different from before, Qin Yingxue felt like joking.
She didn't care about any enhanced genes; she was at ease as long as Qin Dahe was alright.
"You're my sister, so of course he has to call me Third Brother," Qin Dahe said nonchalantly.
"Alright, why aren't you welcoming your sister and brother-in-law in?" Qin Dajiang called out to Qin Dahe as he returned from fetching water in the courtyard.
"Sister, brother-in-law, come in quickly, everyone's waiting!" Qin Dahe greeted them while taking the gifts from Qin Yingxue's hands. "Sister, you're back, why did you bring so many things?"
"My mother-in-law prepared all of this," Qin Yingxue replied as she walked inside.
"Yingxue is back!" Zhou Lanhua and Fang Xiaoye, who were busy in the kitchen, poked their heads out and greeted her with smiles.
"Eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law." Qin Yingxue's smile had just blossomed when she heard a familiar voice.
"Brother Yanchuan, Yingxue, I've made tea. Come in and have a sip. Mom got up early this morning to prepare..."
Not only was Jiang Linlin there, but Xie Guodong was also standing next to her, with a big smile on his face and looking very proud.
