You can’t say that, you still need to care for your grandson.
But since Qin Huai himself mentioned it, he has a big project in March. Working hard during the New Year is entirely for the big project in March, and Granny Qin, being a sensible grandmother, cannot possibly hold back her grandson at such a critical moment.
Granny Qin is worried that the more her grandson makes the dumplings, the more the relatives who visit once every six months become less close. By the time the eleventh day of the New Year comes, it will be her brothers and sisters visiting.
At this pace, won’t it benefit them?
Granny Qin feels this can’t go on, she needs to adjust the way they celebrate the New Year and mobilize the relatives who are still free after the tenth day.
Qin Huai’s eldest uncle and third uncle are available, they’re still staying at the Qin Family home and haven’t returned yet.
The children of the eldest and third uncle are very filial. Knowing that dad wants to get closer to his sister, they never rush, and even want to move in to get closer to their younger aunt.
Every time they see their dad posting meals in the group chat, the kids of Qin Huai’s eldest and third uncles are especially eager to go to the Qin Family home to strengthen ties with their younger aunt.
The Qin Family still has some empty rooms.
The good thing about the countryside is that the houses are big, with many rooms.
Realizing that there aren’t enough close relatives, Granny Qin held a meeting overnight with Qin Xiuli, Qin Huai’s eldest uncle, and third uncle, asking them to tally which relatives are free to visit and strengthen ties on the eleventh day of the New Year.
Remember to bring your own bags when you visit, the home is running low on them.
It’s best to have a legitimate reason to avoid giving critics ammunition.
So on the eleventh day of the New Year, the kitchen saw the addition of many relatives close to Qin Huai.
Uncles, aunts, cousins, even nephews, and nieces.
With so many people, there weren’t enough positions, so even those washing dishes, cleaning vegetables, and doing hygiene were replaced by trusted relatives, leaving the villagers of Qin Family Village out of work, claiming the world is unfair and Granny Qin is nepotistic.
To this, Qin Huai: ...
Alright, they’re all familiar faces and you can even call out their names, they compete to visit every year, so it’s reassuring to use them.
As long as it doesn’t delay his skill level grinding, it’s fine.
By the time the skills were brushed to the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, all the Qin Family relatives knew that Qin Huai had a big project in March.
It’s too exaggerated.
All the relatives who worked in the kitchen said it’s really too exaggerated.
If their children studied with this enthusiasm, they could confidently say their kids could get into a 985 university.
If not, a 211 university would do.
At the very least, they could get into a tier-one university.
There were even relatives who specially brought their college-bound kids to watch outside the kitchen, for a live lesson:
"Look at your brother/uncle Qin Huai."
"Do you know why he’s able to get into a tier-one university and also make snacks so well?"
"It’s because he works hard!"
"Look at how hard your brother/uncle Qin Huai works on making snacks now, he was even more diligent when he studied! You should learn from him, understood?"
At this point, the kids would oddly ask, "What about Sister/Aunt Luoluo?"
"Your Sister/Aunt Luoluo is in the room doing practice papers. Didn’t you see? She’s so focused!"
In the room, frantically doing practice papers, Qin Luo: Clearly her brother is making snacks, not papers; why is she the one dealing with them?
Giving a side glance at He Cheng, who also looked miserable being dragged to do papers, Qin Luo felt a bit better.
The fourteenth day of the first lunar month, also 5:17 PM on February 24th.
Qin Huai feels a bit dizzy from making so many Four Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls.
Everything he sees now looks like dumplings.
No, he can’t keep making them, he needs to unwind with some gossip.
He needs to take out his phone to see if Dong Shi has shared any new gossip with him.
Qin Huai is not an iron man, he can’t make dumplings without rest; aside from making chicken noodle soup, he also takes breaks by reading gossip.
Listening takes too long, reading is faster.
Dong Shi is very verbose when telling gossip, but very concise when typing.
Qin Huai finished mixing the filling in his hand and casually opened the attribute panel to check his skill level.
These days, the filling skill level has increased the fastest, but it doesn’t mean the other skills haven’t changed.
