Qin Ye finished washing the dishes when Madam Rong looked at him and said, "Qin, now that you’re home, why don’t you go see your grandfather!"
Qin Ye nodded, "Alright."
Madam Rong then turned to Rong Yan, "You and Qin Mei go together as well."
"It’s too hot right now, how about we go later?" Rong Yan saw a change in her mother’s expression and hurriedly said, "Going over now would disturb the old man during his nap. He’s getting on in years and takes a nap every day. We’d better wait until he wakes up..."
"I think going over at four in the afternoon would be just right."
Having heard this, Madam Rong thought it made sense, "Alright, let’s go over at four. If they keep you for dinner, then stay; if you’re to come back, you can invite the old man to come along."
"Okay, we’ll do as you say." Rong Yan was easy-going.
Madam Rong gave her a look, then left it to them to arrange after this discussion.
If someone returned home and didn’t stop by to see their own grandfather, it really wouldn’t be very nice.
Once Madam Rong left, Qin Mei also left.
She didn’t want to disturb her older brother and sister-in-law’s conversation.
Suddenly, with two people gone, only Rong Yan and Qin Ye were left.
"Wife, do you want to take a nap?"
"I won’t nap, but I have to write articles at noon. The editor is pressing, and I need to finish these in a few days..."
Hearing that his wife needed to write articles, Qin Ye hurriedly said, "Then you go busy yourself with that!"
"What about you?" Rong Yan looked at him.
Qin Ye gestured to the courtyard, "I’m going to chop some firewood."
He couldn’t just take a nap when he finally had some time back home.
There was always some important work to be done.
Rong Yan saw him set on chopping wood in the intense midday heat and her mouth twitched.
"How come there’s still so much from the last time you did it? No need to do it in the midday heat..."
Did he really have so much energy to burn?
And truth be told, she guessed right.
Qin Ye couldn’t exactly do anything with his wife in the middle of the day, especially when the mother-in-law was around... It would be pretty bad if they made any noise.
Since they couldn’t engage in that sort of activity, he had some excess energy.
And that energy could be spent on chopping wood.
"Wife, I’m fine, I don’t mind the heat. You go inside and get busy. Don’t worry about me."
Rong Yan, seeing his insistence, had to let him be.
"Alright... but still, take it easy."
After saying that, she went inside.
Qin Ye saw his wife enter the house and then went to chop wood.
When Madam Rong came out because of the noise and saw her son-in-law chopping wood, sweating profusely in the hot weather, she quickly approached to stop him.
"Qin, why are you chopping wood? It’s so hot... Stop chopping now."
Qin Ye looked up, "Mom, I’m alright... This work is no big deal for me. You go and rest, there’s no need to worry about me."
"You never listen, do you? It’s hard enough to come home for a rest and here you are chopping wood in the middle of the day. Look how hot it is and there’s still so much wood left. No need for you to exert yourself like this."
Madam Rong seized the axe from his hands when she saw him not heeding her advice.
"Even if you have to chop, you should wait until it’s cooler in the afternoon... Now go back inside and rest. Don’t do anything, or else I’ll get mad."
The last sentence carried considerable weight.
Qin Ye really feared making his mother-in-law angry, so he nodded, "Alright, Mom, I’ll go inside."
"Hurry back." Madam Rong thought he was too slow and simply pushed him gently.
