Chapter 142 Year 1
Qin Mian ran over and carried one of them in each hand. He placed the two little fellows in the middle of the bed and laid them down on the left half of the bed.
Lei Tia was stu
ed for a moment. He shook his head and took out a new pajamas from the closet for him to put on.
Lei Tia consciously laid on the right side of the bed, reflecting on his new title for his wife. His gaze involuntarily fell on his face, and his body became restless again.
Qin Mian accidentally saw him lift his leg and give him another kick. His leg was grabbed by Lei Tia\'s big hand, and gently pinched it, making it itch to shrink.
"Wife, let\'s stop this. Sleep."
Qin Mian looked at him with the back of his head and unknowingly fell asleep.
Lei Tia patted the two little fellows. After they fell asleep, he carried them back to the baby bed and moved them behind his wife\'s back to embrace them. Only then did he feel at ease, and closed his eyes in satisfaction.
It was unknown if Qin Mian sensed it or not, but the corners of both sides of his mouth raised.
A few days later, early in the morning, the deafening sound of the firecrackers woke up the village. The firecrackers lasted for a full minute, then it stopped for about two breaths.
Lei Xiangzhi was lifted!
He won the second place in the country test, which is to say, the second place.
The entire village was stirred, the villagers all secretly said that Lei Daqiang and Madam Du burnt incense in their previous life. Lei Xiangzhi had become the only old master in Qingshan Village who was a High Scholar. Based on the current situation, the chances of him obtaining good results in both the examination and the Hall examination was very high. When they thought of the possibility that Lei Xiangzhi would become a flower scout, top scorer, or top scholar in the future, the villagers were unable to contain their excitement. For an outsider to be so excited, this was even more so for a person living in the old residence.
Three days later, during the banquet, Qin Mian and Lei Tia asked the Uncle Fu to give them six books and a red packet worth ten silver.
The examination would be held every three years, and this year\'s examination would be held in April, two years later, also known as the Spring Festival. Lei Xiangzhi still had plenty of time to prepare.
After the liveliness, he immersed himself into the busy October of Jin and Autumn.
After the servants finished harvesting the soybeans, Qin Mian unintentionally thought of his previous cooking which he had forgotten about. He quickly ordered Lei Tia to take out the jar and open it.
After being pickled for two years, the curd remained in a neat shape. It was bright red in color and exquisite in texture. It stank slightly and tasted soft and fresh. It was spicy and satisfying.
With only a piece of curd milk, Qin Mian ate three bowls of rice. Lei Tia also really liked this kind of spicy fragrance, it was on par with his wife.
Qin Mian didn\'t want to miss any opportunities to do business. He made the Uncle Fu order a thousand white porcelain bottles that were around the size of milk bottles from the later generations. They were also branded with a trade name and logo. The marinated milk was stored in a beautiful white porcelain bottle at twelve yuan per bottle. After a year, the bottles would be sold for one tael each. When you don\'t have an appetite to eat, it\'s best to make a meal out of putrefying milk.
"..."
Winter passed, and spring arrived. In the blink of an eye, twenty-six years passed.
Yuan Yuan and the little saplings were growing up healthy and strong. In two days time, their first birthday would come.
A one-year old was a small transition in the lives of two little fellows. Qin Mian placed great importance on them, and had already started preparing two days ahead of time, throwing the two little fellows over to their father.
Lei Tia sat on the living room\'s soft carpet to accompany the two little fellows. Yuan Yuan is very athletic, the favorite thing to do is to climb up and down on the father. Lei Tia expressionlessly supported him, in case he fell. Occasionally, he would even help him climb up.
Throwing away the toy in his hands, he crawled towards his father as if he thought of something and stopped. He seemed to feel that it was too slow for him to crawl, and using both hands to support himself on the carpet, he used all his strength to stand up. He staggered towards Lei Tia with a smile on his face and called out in a childish voice, "Dad, Dad!"
Lei Tia promptly pulled him into his embrace, sat him down, and said gently: "Full of them. Your father forbade you to learn to walk too early."
The expression on his face was not so rich that outsiders would have thought he was angry. But he must not be afraid of him. He jumped forward and was caught by the old man. The old man chuckled as he climbed onto the old man\'s body like a contestant.
Lei Tia followed suit and laid on the carpet, allowing the two little fellows to crawl on his body, tugging at his hair and tugging at his clothes.
He looked up. It was almost noon and his wife had not come back yet.
"Big brother." Grab the round clothes.
Yuan Yuan turned around and looked at everyone, and then shouted with all seriousness, "Little brother."
"Cluck, cluck, cluck ??" He climbed onto Lei Tia\'s chest and reached out his chubby little hands, curiously poking\'s face, pinching his nose and tugging at his ears.
Yuan Yuan looked at his dad and then looked at him. He frowned as if he wanted to stop his brother from bullying his dad, but he didn\'t want to disappoint his brother. He bent down and hugged his dad\'s head.
Lei Tia\'s eyes were filled with gentleness as he reached out to rub his little head.
Qin Mian leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed against his chest, and a rueful smile hung on his face. Yuan Yuan spoke less, and Lei Tia spoke less too. He had always been worried that Yuan Yuan and Lei Tia were too unfamiliar with each other, and it seemed like he was overthinking things. Yuan Yuan is really smart!
The light at the door was partially blocked. Lei Tia raised his head and a touch of gentleness flashed across his deep eyes. His seventeen-year-old youth was already tall, only half a head shorter than him. His moon-white robe gracefully outlined his slender, upright figure, perfectly accentuating his windy temperament. His face and neck had become the color of wheat after being exposed to the sun for several days, making him appear even healthier and sexy, so much so that he could hardly tear his eyes away.
"Yuan Yuan, it\'s full. Daddy is back." Qin Mian walked over, sat on the carpet, bent down, and kissed his round face, his full cheeks were also kissed. Looking at his eager gaze, he smiled, then turned his back towards Yuan Yuan and forcefully kissed him on the lips.
"Daddy!"
"Father."
Yuan Yuan already showed a stable bearing at such a young age, following Qin Mian around at a leisurely pace.
"Daddy, Guo Guo."
Qin Mian knew that the two little fellows really wanted to eat fruits. He took out two peaches from his spatial storage and they each took one. After peeling the peaches off their skins, he used a spoon to scratch their flesh and fed it to them.
"Wife, how are your preparations?"
Qin Mian was about to speak, but Yuan Yuan expressionlessly spat out two words, "Wife."
The spoon in Lei Tia\'s hand trembled, and the fruit inside the spoon fell onto the carpet.
Qin Mian was stu
ed, then laughed and smashed the carpet, "Hahaha ??"
Lei Tia silently looked at Yuan Yuan for a while, then pointed at Qin Mian, "He is my wife, you ca
ot call him that."
Yuan Yuan looked at him with blinking eyes for a while, "Oh." It was hard to tell if he really understood or was just unintentionally pronouncing it.
Qin Mian was laughing till he couldn\'t breathe, there were still a few tears flowing out from the corners of his eyes.
Lei Tia looked at him dotingly, wiped his tears away with his thumb and patted his back lightly.
She also reached out her hands to pat Qin Mian\'s back happily, "Daddy, you\'re stupid!"
Qin Mian froze and immediately stopped laughing. He coughed lightly and continued to feed him, looking serious.
"Son, you can\'t call Daddy stupid. Daddy is the smartest person in our family."
Lei Tia shook his head and continued feeding Yuan Yuan.
Qin Mian used a handkerchief to wipe the fruit on the carpet, replying to Lei Tia\'s previous question, "Everything has been arranged, the butler will bring his people to take care of the rest."
Two days later, Yuan Yuan and his one year old birthday arrived.
The two little fellows were dressed in a new, more adorable and agile outfit. They wore baby hats in the shape of little yellow ducklings, and they wore blue frock coats and yellow turtlenecks. On their chests they had a large blue sack embroidered with a large apple; beneath them were blue leggings, and on their feet they wore tiger-shod shoes.
Qin Mian took out two identical brocade boxes from the wardrobe. One of them had a round name Qin Ruiqi carved on it, and the other case was filled with names Lei Ruilin carved on it. He took out two silver ingots and placed them in two boxes. Then, he locked the boxes.
Lei Tia did not understand.
Qin Mian patted the box, and explained with a smile: "In the future, every time my son\'s birthday is celebrated, we will save some money for him. When they are ten years old, give them the money and let them learn how to manage their finances. "
Lei Tia nodded in understanding. A daughter-in-law always has a lot of weird ideas.
Now, there were more servants in the Leisurely Dwelling House, and there were people taking care of and watching over them in every aspect. Qin Mian arranged for the location of the banquet to be at the Leisurely Dwelling House. The Leisurely Dwelling House\'s small forest had already been tidied up a few years ago, and a large empty area had been planted with grass, which was suitable for serving banquets.
Around noon, guests began to arrive.
Before you eat longevity noodles, go through the week grabbing ceremony.
The living room was covered with carpets. Qin Mian and Lei Tia carried Yuan Yuan and laid them all over the carpets. On the carpet were books, pens, ink, paper, ink stones, seals, an abacus, copper coins, silver coins, onions, seals, wooden swords, and more than twenty other items.
The guests crowded around curiously.
Qin Mian squatted at the side and told Yuan Yuan, "Yuan Yuan, full, and choose the one you like the most for father and father."
Yuan Yuan picked up the inkstone closest to him, looked around and was attracted by the circular seal. After looking for a while, he didn\'t take it. His eyes stayed on the wooden sword, and curiously picked it up and played with it.
At the begi
ing, Manshu crawled behind his brother. Seeing the seal, his eyes lit up and he quickly crawled over to pick it up. Holding it tightly, he raised his head and smiled at Qin Mian.
The guests laughed and congratulated him.
"Two sons, a man of letters and a man of war. Congratulations! "
