As the New Year approaches, Lei Tie has not relaxed the training of the generals. After getting up in the morning and completing the daily training tasks, he brought dry food and led the generals to the back mountain for field training. In the past few days, heavy snow has been raging, and training has not been suspended. Lei Qin Shun nine people didn't understand why the young master trained them so strictly, but no one raised any questions. They all understood a truth: what they really learned belongs to them.
The door of the house was closed tightly, and the golden retriever was lying next to the sofa, sleeping dimly. Qin Mian was lying on the sofa, with her back leaning on the golden hair, her legs covered with blankets, her legs as a table, and writing in the notebook. A charcoal basin was placed not far away. The charcoal fire was burning vigorously and the fire dazzled. The white charcoal floated with the flame and was blown away by the wind. The candlestick lamps in the four corners are all lit, making the living room warm and cozy.
When there are too many things to do, Qin Mian is used to writing everything down on paper, making it easier to make the most reasonable arrangements. What he was arranging was the preparations made last year, who was responsible for the sanitation of the house, who was responsible for the layout of the leisurely land, who was responsible for the purchase of New Year's goods, who was responsible for killing chickens and ducks... all were clearly written. Last year, he and Lei Tie worked on these things personally. This year, they only need to be their eldest master and little master.
The door of the main room was knocked, and Aunt Fu's voice came in, "Little master, I have something to see."
"Come in."
Aunt Fu opened the door, cold wind carrier snow poured in, and Qin Mian tightened the blanket on her body.
Aunt Fu lowered her eyes and didn't look around. After bowing her knees, she said, "Little master, there have been many people who have been talking about Lei Qin Le in the lobby recently. The old man thought about it, and I think I should tell you as soon as possible."
"Lei Qin Le?" Qin Mian looked away from the notebook and looked at her puzzled. "What happened to Lei Qin Le?"
Aunt Fu saw that the young master did not react, "Little young master, this is probably the case for the old man. The annual ceremonies of the vermicelli workshop and the wine workshop have been sent, and many villagers think that our family is very generous to the hired workers and the people. This is not true. , Some people with worse conditions still have girls who didn't say dear..."
Qin Mian suddenly realized. Although he is the "mother of the house", he is not a woman after all, and he has not considered this aspect at all. He remembered that Lei Qin Le was in his twenties and he was twenty-one after the Chinese New Year. He was already an older youth in this era. He sighed in his heart, it is not easy to be the master, and he has to be responsible for the family affairs of the next person. Fortunately, Lei Qin Le is the only one who has reached the age of adulthood. Lei Qin Shun are still young, and we can talk about it in a few years.
"Lei Qin Le ever mentioned this to you?"
"That's not true."
Qin Mian nodded, "I know this in my mind. If someone asks you again, you can tell them that Lei Qinle's Wife must be a slave in our house. Fu Aunt, you don't need to say it, you also understand that our family There are too many secret recipes, not everyone can come in."
Aunt Fu was clear, "Please rest assured, the young master, the old man knows what to say."
"Yeah. In addition, you can also mention this to Lei Qin Le and see if he has any thoughts. Both Ah Tie and I are big men. It's not easy to take care of this directly. heart."
"Yes." Aunt Fu responded, "If there is nothing else, the old man will leave."
"Well, step back."
The door was closed. A sense of loneliness suddenly rushed into Qin Mian's heart, and at the same time he felt that the house was quiet and panic. Lei Tie has been going out in the morning and coming back when it gets dark these days. For him who is used to entering and leaving with Lei Tie, he is very uncomfortable.
He simply put down the pen, put on warm rabbit fur boots, put on a cloak, and summoned the golden retriever to go out with him, not forgetting to buckle the lock ring on the door leaf to prevent the wind from blowing in and picking up the charcoal fire and causing a fire.
Inside the leisurely Tianju, except for the cobblestone paths swept out by the people who descended, there was a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere. On the ground, the white snow is like being padded with white feathers, and the footprints left by chickens and ducks are like embroidered flowers, quiet and elegant; on fruit trees, snow-covered, like a jade tree with silver flowers, layer upon layer , Picturesque.
Golden Retriever took a steady step, walked forward unhurriedly, and hit a peach tree playfully, and the snow rustled down and covered his face. It swayed its clumsy body in dissatisfaction, with a delicate and funny posture.
Qin Mian walked along the path to the gate, and the golden retriever danglingly followed behind him, shaking the snowflakes from his head from time to time.
Qin Mian looked funny. As far as he knows, not all brown bears do not hibernate, and the golden retriever is one of them. It stays at home except when it is hungry and leaves by itself looking for food.
Qin Mian thinks that one of the most important reasons is that the Golden Retriever is reluctant to bear Lei Tie, because almost every few days, the Golden Retriever provokes Lei Tie and plays with him. As a bystander, he said he couldn't understand the meaning of the golden retriever and human beings.
My uncle was on duty in the concierge, and he also burned the charcoal basin. It was not charcoal but firewood, which was also very warm.
Seeing Qin Mian approaching, he hurried out of the house, "Little Master, you want to go out?"
"Just walk around."
"Little one opens the door for you."
With the golden retriever following, Uncle Quan had nothing to worry about. After Qin Mian went out, he closed the door.
Qin Mian walked forward, the sky is also vast, and the ground is also vast, enjoying the snow scenery all the way, which is interesting. When he recovered, he found himself at the foot of the mountain and couldn't help laughing.
The golden retriever rolled on the ground a few times, then stood up, enjoying himself.
The cold wind whispered in his ears, cold and biting, Qin Mian suddenly felt that his behavior today was a bit silly, and shouted to the golden retriever: "Golden retriever, go home."
Just turning around, a short wolf howl sounded behind him. He looked back and saw a black figure leaping on the snow like lightning, before coming to him in a moment.
"Wow." A little white put his two front paws on Qin Mian's shoulder, and his warm tongue licked his face.
Lei Tie, who came out of the jungle, happened to see this scene and quickened his pace.
Lei Qin Shun and the others looked at him in amazement as if he was floating on the snow without even a single footprint, and they were even more in awe of him.
"Wife, waiting for me?" Lei Tie stood still at Qin Mian, pushed a little white away, and lifted his head to brush the snow on his cloak. There was a pleasant and satisfying smile in his pitch-black eyes, with a voice. Deep and soft.
The joy in his eyes made Qin Mian feel that he had done a stupid thing even more, feeling that the corners of his mouth were cocked, "No, I'm taking a walk."
"Yeah." Lei Tie took his hand.
In the distance, Zhao Sifa's eyes full of contempt and resentment fell on the two of them. Because they were afraid of attracting the attention of the other party, they quickly moved away and the people quickly disappeared.
Qin Mian looked at Lei Qin Zhong and others. The slender little white poplars have now grown into standing cedar trees.
Lei Qin Zhong all carried bows and arrows on their backs, and they held prey in their hands. They stepped forward and saluted together, their voices were neat and loud, and the momentum was like a rainbow, "I have seen the young master!"
Qin Mian was worried that Lei Tie was too bored and didn't say something that should be said, so he said, "It's such an honor for the young master to personally lead you up to the mountain training camp on a snowy day. Don't let the young master and my cultivation and trust in you be disappointed. ."
The nine generals looked solemn and said in unison: "The little ones dare not!"
Qin Mian smiled and nodded, "Very well. You should go back first."
"Yes."
When they all walked away, Qin Mian and Lei Tie also walked back slowly.
"Atie, you have been in contact with a few of them longer, what do you think of their character?"
Lei Tie said: "Wife, don't worry. Nine of them are good."
"That's good." Qin Mian hesitated for a while, "you will go up the mountain tomorrow?"
Lei Tie's training camp was originally scheduled for ten days, and he immediately changed his mind, "I will also train tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but I don't need to lead the team myself."
Qin Mian's face looked better now.
Lei Tie held his face and kissed him gently on his lips, "Go, go home."
Four days later is New Year's Eve.
Lei Daqiang wants Lei Tie, Lei Xiangren, and Lei Xiangyi to go to the old house for New Year's Eve dinner. As if they had discussed it in advance, the three of them all declined.
Lei Daqiang and Du Shi suddenly realized that their control over their three sons was getting weaker and weaker.
Colorful flags and red lanterns were hung up in Youran Tian Curie, and red spring couplets were also pasted. The New Year's Eve dinner is still Qin Mian's own hands, rectifying the dishes on the table. A little white and golden retriever's New Year's Eve dinner is also very rich, a little white New Year's Eve dinner is a whole wild goat, and golden retriever's New Year's Eve dinner is a big pot of fish, sweet potatoes and honey.
The two, a wolf and a bear spent a lively New Year's Eve together.
On the first day of the first lunar month, Qin Mian and Lei Tie put on new clothes and went to the old house to pay a New Year greeting.
Surprisingly, the two were actually the earliest. After the New Year's greetings, the two sat with Lei Xiangli, Lei Xiangzhi, and Lei Chuntao to chat with melon seeds.
"Huh? We're late?" Zhao's left hand holding Lei Dabao and right hand holding Lei Erbao, stepped into the room, chin raised slightly, and said with a smile.
As soon as the three of them entered the door, Qin Mian felt that his eyes lit up-so flashing!
The Zhaos are dressed in red and neon clothes, the fabric is embroidered with concealed silver threads, shining under the lights, the cloud bun is inserted into the golden step, a silver wiping forehead, pearls hanging from ears, silver collar on the neck, and waist There are silver forbidden steps; Lei Dabao and Lei Erbao are both wearing red cotton-padded jackets and silver longevity locks on their necks. They are as proud as their mothers at a young age.
Lei Xiangren walked at the end with his waist straight, wearing a curly-brimmed hat, wearing a straight embellishment cut from cloud brocade and a tiger-skin coat, with a jade dangling around his waist.
Du touched the silver earrings he had worn for several years, and looked around Zhao's accessories. He didn't know what it was like, and he regretted breaking up too early.
