Once you are immersed in research, it would be bad to be interrupted in the middle.

"I mean you have to eat on time, otherwise, it's easy to get stomach problems."

Qin Yanzheng's dark eyes were filled with tenderness: "The body is the capital of revolution. Think about it, if this capital is gone, what else can you do?"

"You are becoming more and more like a butler now!"

Song Lan teased the man.

"You dislike me controlling you?"

Qin Yanzheng pretended to be aggrieved.

"Absolutely not."

Song Lan answered without hesitation, and then said: "You care about me and are concerned about me. If I despise you, wouldn't that be ungrateful?"

"It's good to know!"

With a doting look in his eyes, he gently pinched the nose of the person in his arms, and then he patted her back: "Go to sleep, you will be busy tomorrow."

"OK, good night!"

Song Lan responded.

Just as she was about to close her eyes, the man kissed her on the forehead: "Good night!"

-

On New Year's Eve, Song Lan and Qin Yaxin, the sister-in-law, started busy in the kitchen early in the morning. Near noon, the twins' extremely surprised voices came from the living room: "Second brother! Second brother, you are back!"

Soon, the baby voices of Dabao and Erbao were heard: "Hello, Uncle Er, I am Dabao (Erbao)!"

Song Lan listened to the noise coming from the living room and saw Qin Yaxin looking out the kitchen door from time to time. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Go ahead. We haven't seen each other for a few years. Go and see what your second brother has become now!"

"No, my second brother has always been very arrogant, but I haven't seen him for a few years, so he must not have changed much."

Qin Yanzheng shook his head, with a hint of disgust in his tone, but if you listened carefully, it was not difficult to hear the intimacy.

"Second sister, what are you talking about with your eldest sister-in-law?"

The owner of the voice was Qin Boyan. He was standing at the kitchen door with a faint smile on his face, looking straight at Qin Yaxin. Hearing this, Qin Yaxin was startled at first, then she cried out "Ah", looked frightened, and covered her mouth and said:

"I didn't tell my sister-in-law anything. Second brother, believe me, I didn't say anything bad about you!"

"Are you trying to cover up the truth?"

Qin Boyan asked with a smile.

Qin Yaxin pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled awkwardly.

Qin Boyan moved his eyes away from her. He looked at Song Lan at this moment. Suddenly, he stood at attention and saluted Song Lan, his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, I'm back!"

"Ah."

Song Lan smiled and nodded, saying softly, "Are you tired? Go take a shower and rest. We'll have lunch soon."

"Report to sister-in-law, I'm not tired!"

Qin Boyan stood up straight, with a serious expression, and said, "I'll wash and change my clothes and then come to the kitchen to help my sister-in-law!" As he finished speaking, he showed his big white teeth, smiled like a fool, and said, "Sister-in-law, you have worked hard these years!"

"Fortunately."

Song Lan smiled and said, "Go wash up. You don't need to come over to help. Just spend some time with dad and your eldest brother in the living room."

"I listen to my sister-in-law."

Qin Boyan responded, then turned and left.

"Sister-in-law, I think my second brother has become more handsome!"

Hearing the footsteps outside the kitchen going away, Qin Yaxin said with a smile.

"Your second brother was good-looking to begin with, but now that he's dressed in a righteous manner and in that uniform, he naturally looks even better than before!"

As the eldest sister-in-law, Song Lan felt really relieved to see the changes in Qin Boyan.

"Upright? Yes, my second brother's temperament has indeed changed a lot, and he looks much more stable and reserved than before he joined the army."

Qin Yaxin's voice was full of laughter: "That military uniform suits my second brother very well. Sister-in-law, how come my second brother is so amazing? It's only been a few years, and he's already a company-level cadre."

That’s right, Qin Boyan has now been promoted to company commander. To be more precise, he got the promotion before the college entrance examination.

"Your second brother's achievements today are entirely due to his hard work and military merit." Song Lan said: "You will be enrolling in university after the new year. I hope you can work hard after enrollment and make achievements in your favorite career in the future."

"Sister-in-law, I will."

Qin Yaxin's expression was particularly serious at this moment.

Everyone in the family is working hard. She is a member of the family, so she is naturally not bad. Besides, she has younger brothers and sisters, as well as nephews and nieces. If she doesn't work hard, how can she be a role model for them?

Anyway, Qin Yaxin didn't want to embarrass herself in front of her younger brothers and sisters and nephews and nieces!

She wanted them to be proud of her, and to feel happy when they went out and heard people mention her as their second sister (second aunt).

Lunch was fried noodles with soybean paste, which was Qin Boyan’s favorite dish. It showed how much Song Lan cared about her family.

"Second brother, then you won't be returning to the army after the New Year?"

After dinner, the family sat in the living room and chatted, and Xiaowu asked Qin Boyan.

"Yes, I won't be back after the New Year. I have to report to the university."

The military academy Qin Boyan was admitted to is near Beijing. After the New Year, he will set off directly from home to the academy.

"I want to go to college in the future, and I want to go to Tsinghua University!"

Xiaowu looked serious and made a great wish.

"If you have the ambition, then you have to work hard. Otherwise, let alone Tsinghua University, you may not even be able to get into a technical college."

This is Qin Yanzheng's voice.

Xiaowu looked at him and said, "Not only do I want to get into Tsinghua University, I also want to make a lot of money for my sister-in-law after graduation." When the little guy said the second half of the sentence, he did not forget to give his elder brother Qin Yanzheng a provocative look.

Qin Bo gave a thumbs up and said, "Boy, you are awesome. Keep it up!"

Unexpectedly, Erbao's cute baby voice suddenly rang out: "Mommy doesn't spend uncle's money. Erbao, I want to earn lots of money for mommy!"

"My son is really promising!"

Qin Yanzheng's dark eyes were full of smiles. He casually touched the top of the head of the little baby sitting beside her and asked Dabao: "Don't you want to spend a lot of money on your mother?"

Dabao shook his head and said, "All the money I earn in the future will belong to mom."

The implication is that mom can spend money however she wants.

"Sister-in-law is a good parent!"

Qin Boyan looked at Song Lan with a smile.

"The first and second babies are still young, I didn't teach them to make money."

Song Lan shook his head with amusement.

Qin's father watched from the side, the smile on his face never disappearing.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, Song Lan kneaded the dough and prepared the dumpling filling. When the dough was almost risen, she didn't need to call anyone. Qin Yanzheng, Qin Boyan, Qin Yaxin, and Qin's father all sat in the living room to help make dumplings.

There is strength in numbers. Three people rolled the dough and two people wrapped it. In less than an hour, hundreds of plump white dumplings were wrapped.

By mid-afternoon, Song Lan and Qin Yaxin were preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

Qin Yanzheng and Qin Boyan are putting up Spring Festival couplets.

Xiaowu helped them check whether the Spring Festival couplets were pasted neatly and correctly.

Father Qin and Xiaoliu were in the living room looking at the two little ones, Dabao and Erbao.

As for the third and fourth babies, they fell asleep not long after drinking milk. At this time, Aunt Liu was looking after them in the baby room.

"Sister-in-law, will Uncle Song return to the village after the New Year?"

In the kitchen, Qin Yaxin asked Song Lan.

"No. My eldest brother, his wife, and my younger brother have all been admitted to universities in Beijing, so my father has to stay here to take care of his eldest grandson."
