General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming
Chapter 236 - 236 Father and Son Meet236 Father and Son Meet
The place where Qin Yanran learned the zither was the first house at the east end of Pear Blossom Lane. This was Qin Canglan’s first time here, but the coachman was clearly familiar with the place. He parked the carriage at the side with ease.
The melodious sound of the zither came from the courtyard. Qin Canglan did not know music, so the sound of playing the zither and cotton was no different to him.
He waited in the carriage for a while. The coachman asked if he wanted to go in and ask, but he refused.
He was a boor. It was not easy for him to have a talented girl at home. He had to treasure her and not disturb his granddaughter from learning the zither.
However, the tune was really a little hypnotic. He felt sleepy and decided to come down for a walk.
As soon as he got off the ground, he sensed a rustling sound.
The general’s intuition in him instantly made him wary. Over the years, he had made many enemies. Out of ten people, seven or eight probably wanted his life.
Still…
It was not so easy to take his life!
He touched the dagger at his waist and walked towards the slightly swaying tree.
If Su Xiaoxiao was here, she would definitely recognize that this was the big tree where she had seen a man holding a zither and retching when she was walking the foal with Dahu in the morning.
The commotion on the tree came from Dahu.
Dahu had already walked the foal in the morning. Now, he did not want to walk it with his brothers a second time. He slipped away quietly.
He was very curious about the tune coming from this house. Coincidentally, he had learned to climb trees.
Qin Canglan looked at the swaying leaves above his head and snorted coldly. “Sneaky! Who are you? Hand over your life!”
He was extremely tall and burly. Even though he was old, his body was still tall and straight.
Ordinary people might not even be able to jump up. He reached out and pushed it away.
Then, he saw a sticky ball. The ball had a round face and big black grape-like eyes. His eyebrows were filled with heroic spirit, and there was a thin layer of sweat on the tip of his nose from climbing the tree. His small mouth was slightly open.
Recently, he had been drooling because of his teething.
Dahu was caught. He hugged the tree trunk and looked at him in a daze, like a round little Iron-eating Beast.
Qin Canglan was stunned.
His grip loosened.
The branch he pressed down flicked and Dahu was sent flying!
Qin Canglan’s eyes flickered. He flew up and held Dahu, who was hugging his head in midair and curling up into a small ball.
This child had such a strong survival instinct!
Qin Canglan landed steadily with Dahu in his arms.
To Qin Canglan’s surprise, not only was the little guy in his arms not frightened to tears, but he also looked at him excitedly.
It was as if he was saying: Again! Again!
Qin Canglan suddenly smiled. “You’re quite bold.”
If he was not so bold, he would not have climbed such a tall tree at such a young age.
“Where do you live?” Qin Canglan asked.
Dahu did not answer him immediately. Instead, he blinked and looked down.
Wow.
So high.
Qin Canglan said, “Where do you live? I’ll send you back.”
Qin Canglan looked very fierce, the kind that could scare children to tears when he was serious.
Dahu pointed at his house obediently.
Qin Canglan frowned. “You don’t know how to speak?”
Dahu blinked.
Qin Canglan had never been popular with children. When the children saw him, they were so frightened that they did not dare to speak.
He stopped asking.
He bent down and planned to place Dahu on the ground.
Dahu curled his little feet up and refused to touch the ground.
Qin Canglan was helpless and could only pick Dahu up again.
Strange, wasn’t this child scared silly by him? Few children dared to let him carry them.
On the other hand, when Su Cheng returned home and realized that there was one less child, he was so frightened that his hair stood on end!
Su Cheng still felt a lingering fear when he recalled the experience of the three of them escaping into the mountains to hide.
However, Su Ergou had gone out to buy groceries again. There was no one at home to watch the house, and he could not leave Erhu and Xiaohu at home and go out to look for Dahu himself.
Just as he was in a terrible fix, a tall and burly old man with white hair carried Dahu into the courtyard.
It was a little inappropriate to call him an old man. Although this person had a white beard and white hair, his tall figure and steady footsteps could easily beat that of a young man.
It was not an exaggeration to describe him as a treasured saber that had not aged.
He was dressed like a martial artist and was wearing black boots. There was a ferocious saber with a totem hanging on his waist. He looked very fierce!
Father Su calculated in his heart. He could only be a village tyrant in the countryside. So he was missing a set of equipment…
Father Su reluctantly looked away. He would make a set for himself later…
Father Su went to fetch Dahu.
Dahu sighed like an adult and extended his hand to his grandfather.
“Where did you go just now? Did you run around again?” Father Su asked Dahu solemnly.
Dahu’s eyes darted around as he twisted his butt and ran to the backyard!
Su Cheng gritted his teeth. “This child! I’ll tell your mother later!”
Only Su Cheng and Qin Canglan were left in the courtyard.
Su Cheng had always been clear about gratitude and grudges. Since he had sent Dahu back, he had to thank him no matter what.
Su Cheng said seriously, “Thank you for sending my grandson back.”
Qin Cang trembled. “Is that your grandson?”
“That’s right.” Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and raised his tabby face which he thought was extremely handsome but was actually covered in ashes. “Although I look young, I’m already 37 years old this year!”
Country bumpkins got married early. They were fathers in their teens and grandfathers in their thirties.
Qin Canglan paused. “Thirty-seven. You’re the same age as my son.”
Su Cheng sized him up and said pertinently, “Then you look a little anxious.”
Qin Canglan was dumbfounded.
Su Cheng asked, “Are you a neighbor here?”
Qin Canglan said, “I was passing by. My granddaughter is learning the zither nearby, so I came over to take a walk.”
“Oh.” Su Cheng moved a small stool and sat down. He also handed him a small stool. “My daughter also learned the zither for a few days when she was young.”
Qin Canglan sat down on the small stool. It was already very comical for Su Cheng to sit in a small stool. He was more burly than Su Cheng and was like a hill pressing down on the stool.
“Is that so?” He tried to adjust to the stool.
Su Cheng said, “That’s right. She was very talented and learned too quickly. The teachers couldn’t teach her, so they expelled her.”
Qin Canglan muttered,” Young man, you’re bragging a little too much.”
Su Cheng was indeed bragging.
His fat daughter had never even touched it, let alone learn the zither. It was difficult for country bumpkins to fill their stomachs. How could she have the money to learn the zither?
“Eh? You like grapefruit too?”
Qin Canglan noticed a grapefruit tree in the courtyard.
Su Cheng waved his hand. “Oh, I planted it blindly. I can’t eat it. If I eat it, I’ll have rashes all over my body.”
Qin Canglan was stunned. “What a coincidence. My son too!”
“Oh.” Su Cheng did not care about his son.
Su Cheng glanced at him and asked, “You should have quite a big appetite, right?”
Qin Canglan was thinking, “What kind of question is that?”
Su Cheng coughed lightly and picked up the small dustpan at the side. “Thank you for saving Dahu. There’s nothing to entertain you with. Try the sweet potatoes roasted at home.”
He wanted Qin Canglan finish it so that he wouldn’t have to eat it!
Qin Canglan looked at the black lumps in the dustpan and seriously suspected that he had handed him a few pieces of charcoal.
“It’s very delicious.” Su Cheng worked hard.
Qin Canglan picked up a sweet potato.
Su Cheng continued, “Our family is not interested in wasting food.”
Qin Canglan was someone who had eaten tree roots and Guanyin clay. He was not picky about food.
Although it did look a little bad, it was a sweet potato after all. How bad could it be?
Qin Canglan took a bite casually.
In the next second, his body trembled, and a powerful energy rushed to the top of his head!
