    Brief Comment on Works


    Li Qinghe, who had lived all her life, didn''t realize that she was the disgusting original partner of a sweet pet essay. The man and woman in the novel are married to each other, so she has to intervene in it. Naturally, everyone will clap and applaud. Now, after all over again, she decided to change her way of living, away from the hostess, and find someone who had kept her tombstone for the rest of her life to live well, buy land for farming, raise pigs and chickens. So, this is a farming book.


    This article is cleverly conceived, emotionally delicate, with the simplicity of farming, and a different book. It mainly tells the story of the heroine Li Qinghe getting rid of the fate of her previous life and finding a loved one to live a happy life together.

 Chapter 1： change

    Li Qinghe was awakened by a high-pitched cock, and the room was dim. She moved, and there was a sharp pain in her chest.


    She was stunned, and glanced around with the faint light of the sky, she was a little familiar in the strangeness, which seemed to be the house where she had not been married.


    The **** crowing outside was mixed with the occasional dog barking, and the sharp pain in her chest reminded her that this was not a dream.


    She died once.


    Not only died, she was also married. Thinking of marrying, unwillingness and anger instantly filled my chest, and the wound seemed to hurt even more with exhaustion.


    Xu Changjie, the son of Xu Changjie, looks handsome and has read books for several years. Now he works as a bookkeeper in a shop in the town. He travels between the town and the village every day. He is easy-going and knows many people. He wears a blue long gown. How many girls secretly pleased him.


    Li Qinghe in the last life is also.


    She and others have only seen it from a distance, and didn''t know each other. The two will have an intersection, so we must start with her injury this time.


    When she came back from the town, she happened to run into someone holding a knife at Xu Changjie. Seeing that her sweetheart was in danger, she believed that she still had some strength in her hands. She ran over and entangled with others. One of them was injured in the chest, but because The noise drew people, and the gangster left. Then the Xu family came to thank you.


    It is said in the script that the grace of life-saving is promised by the body, and to the young master Pian Pian who came to thank you, she has a lot of thoughts and boldly proposes not to thank her, and wants to make a marriage with her love.


    Everyone at the scene was stunned. The Xu family only said at the time that they would consider it, and after two days they came to send Xiaoding.


    Because she took the initiative to marry, the Xu family''s betrothal gift was almost nothing, but she didn''t care. The joy of marrying her sweetheart made her feel that these were not important.


    After getting married, Xu Changjie went to town for a month or two before returning. Young Master Ruyu was still unattainable. Even if he got married, he couldn''t get close to him. The relationship between husband and wife was cold, and her excitement was like a pot of cold water.


    Xu has a lot of family and many things. She has complicated housework every day. Xu''s mother often finds excuses to curse her, and she has to go to the ground when she is planted in spring and harvested in autumn.


    All the longing before marriage was broken by the realistic environment after marriage, and the naivety of a girl was no longer there. She originally thought that Xu Changjie was different, but what if she is really the same as others? Who is not living a short life in the family?


    later¡­¡­


    Later, she also learned that Xu Changjie had a sweetheart before she married her. A year later, Xu Changjie¡¯s owner¡¯s shop was calculated by others and had nothing overnight, so she had to change the seller¡¯s property and move to the country and live next door to Xu¡¯s house. , Xu Changjie takes good care of his owner on weekdays, especially his daughter Yang Lanrou.


    She was surprised when she saw Xu Changjie questioning others. It turned out that he would also comfort people with tender and soft talk, and even if there was meat at home, he would send a copy of it. If she spoke too much, he would take others'' kindness to him. Stop her. Quite profoundly said, "You know, I am a person who knows what to do."


    As soon as this remark came out, Li Qinghe had no more words. If it weren''t for his knowledge of grace, where would it be possible between them?


    This kind of care gradually wiped away her full of affection, leaving only jealousy.


    The heavy housework made her body worse and worse. After two years of marriage, she suddenly fell ill one day and was so dizzy that she couldn''t get up. No one in the Xu family wanted to hire a doctor for her. She was still sick for half a month. My mother accidentally learned that she was sick and asked the doctor to prescribe a prescription, but she still couldn''t save her.


    It was not until after death that she went to a white space with a book in front of her. When she opened it and saw the familiar simplified characters, she suddenly remembered that she was not a native of Angola at all, and her previous life was equal and free to love. In the world, it is no wonder that as a peasant daughter in a remote village in Anguo, she will look forward to feelings. I would think that the Xu family didn''t refuse the marriage, and Xu Changjie would have some affection for her.


    Reading that book, she was so angry that her heart, liver, lungs, lungs and kidneys hurt. Xu Changjie is the male protagonist, and Yang Lanrou, the owner¡¯s daughter, is the female protagonist, and her Li Qinghe is the one who insists on marrying the male protagonist and let them both The misunderstanding of the female partner and the dung stick caught between the male and female masters make it impossible for lovers to become married. It wasn''t until she passed away two years after getting married that the lovers could stay together.


    At the end of the novel, Xu Changjie often regretted that he had promised to marry Li Qinghe at home, and that Yang Lanrou had to be a successor.


    Just thinking about it, the door was pushed open with a creak, and a thin figure walked in lightly, "Sister, does it still hurt?"


    The visitor was her younger sister Zhao Wanwan. She touched the bed and handed over a bowl of water, "Sister, drink some water."


    Li Qinghe was indeed very thirsty. Enduring the pain, he sat up and took a sip with her hand, and asked in a low voice, "Wanwan, why didn''t you sleep?"


    Zhao Wanwan did not answer, and whispered, "Sister, I heard that the Xu family will come to thank you after dawn, you..."


    Li Qinghe clutched his chest in a gloomy tone, "I almost lost my life. If I don''t come, the Xu family doesn''t want to live in Wangcun."


    In the farmhouse, Li Qinghe clutched his chest and leaned on a chair. Li Fu sat on the head. It was her stepmother, Zhao Wanwan''s mother Qian, who was busy serving tea.


    The people sitting underneath are the Xu family and Xu Changjie.


    When Li Qinghe''s eyes swept over Xu Changjie''s question, he felt complicated and unspeakable, but he did not have the anxiety and shyness of the previous life.


    Xu Changjie¡¯s mother looked kind and kind, ¡°We came to the door today and thank you Qinghe for helping. She has suffered such a serious injury. If there is anything our family can help, you can say, even if we do. If not, I am willing to try my best."


    Hearing this, Li Fu''s complexion eased a little, "Qinghe was injured, and the town''s work can no longer be done. Maybe he will be fired. You gave her wages and then helped her pay for the medicine..."


    Li Qinghe held his chest with one hand and a bowl of black medicine in the other. The bitter smell of medicine pierced into his nostrils far away, and regretted something in his heart. No matter how good a man is, his body is not important. ?


    It hurts so much, no one can help her.


    Hearing this, he hurriedly added, "There is also the cost of replenishing my body and the fear in my heart after the knife, and then there is spiritual compensation."


    Xu''s mother''s expression stiffened, she was just polite, and she never expected the Li family to be so realistic. He pinched Xu''s father secretly, and smiled reluctantly, "Our two families used to have little contact with each other, but now we have a life-saving grace, we will have to contact more in the future. Qinghe is kind and affectionate, it is better for me to accept her. As a goddaughter, when she marries in the future, it is a kind of heart for me to accompany a dowry, okay?"


    Li Qinghe raised her eyebrows. As expected, Mother Xu was just as generous as before. When she really mentioned silver, she started to feel emotional. Just now in her remarks, the two words "married" had a very strong tone, which was quite suggestive. .


    She was a little surprised. In her previous life, she was just an ordinary girl. It was very out of the ordinary to propose a marriage. Maybe she was inadvertently hinted at by Xu''s mother so that she rashly proposed it. I still remember that Li Fu and Qian were surprised at that time. , Even Zhao Wanwan, who was boiling water in the kitchen, ran out.


    "Not good." Li Qinghe rebuffed, "I have suffered such a serious injury. Who knows if someone will dislike it when I marry in the future? Maybe it''s because of this injury that I can''t marry, so your family doesn''t have to compensate. I got it for nothing?"


    Mother Xu couldn''t hide the surprise in her eyes, and quickly reacted, looking at Xu Changjie who was silent, and said, "Changjie, you haven''t thanked Qinghe yet."


    Xu Changjie got up and gave her a serious salute, "Thank you Ms. Li for helping me. I am very upset when you get hurt. If you have any conditions, you can discuss it."


    This is a fair word, and Li Qinghe is satisfied.


    But Mother Xu¡¯s complexion over there was even more stiff, she stared at him without a trace, and then reluctantly smiled, ¡°Our old people are old, there are many children, and it¡¯s difficult at home. No one thinks about such a thing. She really fell from the sky. Disaster, I don¡¯t know why those people will come to Chang Jie¡¯s trouble..."


    Li Qinghe stretched out a finger and interrupted her endless talk, "Twelve taels of silver."


    "What?" Xu''s mother was surprised, Xu Changjie''s expression also changed, Xu''s father frowned, and looked at Li Fu, "Brother Li, this is too much, right?"


    "Isn''t your son worth ten taels?" Li Qinghe endured the pain in his chest, counting with his fingers. "It is said that he is three dollars a month, which is more than three taels a year, but only three years. There are many three taels in a lifetime. Years, but if the knife pierced him, he would hiccup. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s too much."


    Li Fu was robbed by her of what Li Fu was about to say, and he fell silent immediately.


    Xu''s mother also felt that this was justified inexplicably, but twelve taels of silver was not a small amount. In all the farmhouses in Luoyue Town, there were no five numbers that could take out ten taels of silver. She was naturally unwilling. She turned her eyes and smiled. Said, "Qinghe is fourteen this year, right? In marriage..."


    "I promise you!" Xu Changjie interrupted his mother, somewhat anxiously.


    Li Qinghe smiled with satisfaction, knowing that Xu Changjie would not be happy with the marriage, and looked at Zhao Wanwan, who quietly looked out and looked inward, "Wanwan, go get a pen and paper, and set up a letter as evidence!"


    Xu Mu''s face was ugly, she stopped Xu Changjie who was about to write, and looked at Li Qinghe, "It is said that life-saving grace is promised. You always have some affection for Changjie before going up to rescue. It is better to set this marriage together. A good story."


    What a good story, Li Qinghe has been into Xu''s house once, even if Xu''s mother puts it out now, she never wants to go.


    Similarly, Xu Changjie was unwilling to cross-examine his mother''s hand and quickly wrote down, "I owe the Li family..."


    Li Qinghe hurriedly reminded, "Li''s Qinghe. You will be paid in half a month."


    I owe Li Jiaqing 12 silvers for the lotus injury medicine, and I will pay it back within half a month!


    ¡ª¡ªXu Changjie, August 13, Shunping 32nd year


    Li Qinghe took the paper and folded it into his arms with satisfaction. Xu''s father looked ugly. He couldn''t do anything to pull with his son in person. He said in a deep voice, "Your brother and sister have grown up a year. This silver."


    After finishing speaking, he took Xu''s mother who was full of irritation and left. When I walked far away, I could still hear Xu''s mother muttering, "Isn''t it just to heal the wound? Where does it take twelve? Besides, if she has no intention of interrogating Changjie, she will rush to save someone..."


    "I will send the silver as soon as possible." Xu Changjie promised and reminded, "If my mother comes to say something about marriage, you can''t agree."


    Li Qinghe smiled, "I''m afraid you might change your mind."


    Xu Changjie was speechless for a long while, and looked carefully at her expression. In her eyes, she couldn''t see the affection before, and she was a little confused.


    After sending Xu Changjie away, Qian looked at her chest several times and stopped talking, but Li Qinghe ignored it. When he turned around and wanted to go back to the room, someone came outside the fence yard.


    The young man was dressed in a commoner, tall and straight, with an anxious face, he raised his leg from the fence and stepped in, and ran to her in a few steps, "Qinghe, how are you?"


    Li Qinghe: "..." My house has a door.

 Chapter 2： Standoff

    The man''s eyes were anxious, with joy and anxiety, "Qinghe, isn''t your injury serious?"


    Li Qinghe''s eyes moved from his slender legs to his anxious eyes. When he met the joy in his eyes, he was startled, and quickly returned to his senses, "It''s not a big problem, just raise it."


    Watching her lower her head again, Zhou Chengkang calmed his mind, and eagerly turned away from her face, and tentatively asked, "What did the Xu family say? You asked for marriage, did their family agree?"


    Proposing marriage was a matter of the previous life. This time even if Xu''s mother intended, Li Qinghe didn''t take care of it at all. Where is there anything to discuss marriage?


    These two short sentences reveal too much news.


    Li Qinghe was shocked, if it were not for her head down, the expression on her face would have been extremely surprised, and it took a long time before she barely calmed down.


    Zhou Chengkang wanted to get close to her, but he was afraid of scaring her. He was entangled in anxious heart, and barely restrained him, before continuing, "Qinghe, there are some things you don''t know, the Xu family is not a good place to go. Then Xu Changjie, on the surface, the son of Pian Pian, actually The most cold-blooded and ruthless, and he already has a sweetheart, but the girl''s parents do not agree. If you don''t believe it, I will take you to see!"


    This is strange, is it that Xu Changjie has already secretly exchanged the song with that Yang Lanrou?


    "What do you think?" Li Qinghe asked lowly.


    Seeing her answer, Zhou Chengkang heaved a sigh of relief, "When your injury gets better, I will take you to town to see it with your own eyes... It''s just that you are recovering from your injury during this period. If the Xu family sends Xiaoding, you Don''t pick it up, you believe me!"


    Li Qinghe responded and said in a low voice, "I recuperate recently and will not meet outsiders."


    Zhou Chengkang was satisfied. He took out the one-piece ointment from his arms and handed it carefully, and said nervously, "I bought this from the town medical clinic. I heard that it has a miraculous effect on scars. Would you like to try it?"


    Li Qinghe stretched out his hand and took it cautiously, just like taking over a heart he held up carefully.


    Zhou Chengkang was satisfied. Yu Guang caught Li''s father''s unkind look over there and said hurriedly, "Then I''ll go back, and I will see you tomorrow."


    Li Qinghe sent him to the gate of the yard and watched him go away.


    Zhao Wanwan came over and whispered, "Sister, your hurt is not good, my mother said that you should go back and rest."


    When she said this, she was very nervous, for fear that she would be angry and noisy when she said that.


    Li Qinghe didn''t like her stepmother before, because she felt that she had forced her mother away.


    The marriage between Li Fu and his original wife Xu is like a drama. Li Fu and the Qian family girl in the same village grew up together. After they were a little older, Lang had a sentimental concubine, and only waited for them to start negotiating when they got older.


    But everything in the world can be satisfactory?


    The Qian family had a younger brother who was a decade younger than her. The Qian family¡¯s husband and wife first got a daughter from the Qian family. They prayed to the Buddha before they got a son. They spoiled him naturally. A little older, they sent him to school. But the farmer thought How easy is it to confess a scholar?


    The couple got up early and greedy the dark, and even the daughter''s betrothal gift was shouted high. Li Fu couldn''t marry her anymore. Qian''s looks good, so someone was willing to give this betrothal gift.


    When the beautiful woman married another, Li Fu was naturally sad, and Li''s family members also began to talk about his relationship. Seeing that he was enamored with Qian, in the final analysis, it was because of her good appearance that thousands of people chose Xu, who was equally good. One year later, she gave birth to her daughter, Li Qinghe.


    Since then, the two have been married separately, and if they follow an ordinary family, they will not be possible in this life.


    But Zhao Jialang, who was married to the Qian family, was a drunkard. He loved to beat people when he was drunk. He also hooked up with the widows in the village. Somehow, he kicked the Qian family out, even the daughter she gave birth to. Driven out at once.


    As for Li Fu''s side, after Xu gave birth to Li Qinghe, Mrs. Zhang, who was in the town''s cloth business, had no milk and wanted to hire a nanny because of the large amount of milk. Xu''s appearance is good, and her body is clean. She stands out from the crowd of peasant women who want to be nanny, and becomes the nanny of Zhang family, with four dollars a month. Four coins of silver and food and housing are included, which is a good job in Luoyue Town.


    Xu left his young daughter in the town, and could come back once a month. Li Fu took the young Li Qinghe. It was very difficult, so Qian often came to help. The two of them couldn''t help themselves...


    After that, the Xu family somehow hooked up with the Zhang family master. After discussing with the husband and wife, they contacted the village chief to testify and wrote and lied!


    Since then, the Xu family has been an aunt in the town, and Li Fu and the Qian family¡¯s lover finally become married, and they really dare not write that way.


    Both of them have reached Consummation, but Li Qinghe has suffered. When they reconciled, she was six years old, just an ignorant age.


    At that time, she felt that if it were not for the Qian family, Xu would not go to the town to be a kid. Therefore, no matter what Qian did to her since childhood, she was cold-eyed, and sometimes she was angry, and she would say something hurtful when she was so angry.


    Li Qinghe''s face was as usual, and he answered, "Okay."


    During the recuperation period, in addition to Zhou Chengkang''s occasional visit, many neighbors also came to visit, and some deliberately inquired about the Xu family''s thank-you gift. When they knew that they were taking money as a thank-you gift, many people were choked.


    Ten taels of silver, but not young or old.


    Of course, some people secretly think that Li Qinghe is stupid, and she has come to save others. Why didn''t she propose marriage? You know, Xu Changjie is already eighteen this year, and he should have a kiss soon.


    No matter how outsiders guessed, Li Qinghe didn''t know, and she didn''t care what outsiders said. After seven or eight days, the wound was crusted and it happened to be on the scene. Zhou Chengkang came to pick her up early in the morning.


    It can be seen that Zhou Chengkang is very nervous, his jaw is tight, and the smile in his eyes almost overflows, "I will take you to breakfast first, and then take you to see."


    Li Qinghe looked at the horizon and said casually, "I don''t really want to see him, I just want to go to town."


    Zhou Chengkang obviously didn''t believe it, but he still followed her words, "It''s all good. When you finish the transfer, I will send you back."


    "Thank you then." Li Qinghe was not polite with him.


    Zhou Chengkang moved his lips and wanted to say no thanks. In fact, he was looking forward to taking her off. If possible, he would take her for a lifetime.


    There is a market every ten in Luoyue Town. If everyone in the surrounding villages needs to buy and sell things, they will go to the town at this time. Every market is very lively.


    In the past, Zhou Chengkang¡¯s carriage would take a lot of people along the way, all of whom would go to the town. Everyone would give two to three cents, but today his carriage went straight to the town without anybody.


    When he reached the entrance of the town, he probed into the curtain and asked, "Qinghe, are you going to see your mother?"


    Thinking of the Xu family, Li Qinghe''s smile became lighter, and his tone was lighter, "Don''t go now, find a place for breakfast."


    At the entrance of the town, the carriage was given to someone specially guarded, and he went to the food shop on the roadside.


    Before approaching, Zhou Chengkang in front suddenly stopped. Li Qinghe was curious, followed his line of sight and saw Xu Changjie sitting at the table with a pink girl. The two were talking and laughing. Not ordinary men and women.


    Zhou Chengkang suddenly turned around and pulled her sleeves to leave, "Let''s go around first, or go to your mother''s side first."


    Li Qinghe stepped inside, "It''s all at the door, why bother to run again, I haven''t eaten the steamed buns here in a long time. I have already said that your treats will not come to the door and regret it?"


    Zhou Chengkang couldn''t laugh or cry, "How come." He was even willing to support her for a lifetime.


    As soon as he entered the door, Xu Changjie raised his eyes and saw her entering the door. He frowned, "Why did you come here?"


    Zhou Chengkang stepped forward and became unhappy, "Why can''t we come? This place is not your Xu family."


    When Xu Changjie was blocked, his expression was not very good.


    Li Qinghe smiled and stepped forward, looked at Yang Lanrou, and then looked at Xu Changjie, "I''m here for breakfast. Since I met you, I will collect the debt by the way, isn''t it?"


    This time, Xu Changjie¡¯s expression was really ugly. He got up and pulled Yang Lanrou to leave, but Li Qinghe didn¡¯t let him go. He stepped forward to stop the two of them, ¡°Master Xu, it¡¯s been almost ten days, and your letter is still there. Do you recognize it? If you don''t recognize it, I''m going to the Yamen."


    Yang Lanrou''s delicate eyebrows frowned, "I know that you are eager to question, but emotional matters can''t be forced."


    Li Qinghe sneered. It turned out that the girl already knew about the matter between her and Xu Changjie at this time. She sneered, "It''s really a big face. When did I have any feelings for him?"

 Chapter 3： mother

    Yang Lanrou was flushed with anger because of this.


    The maid next to her saw that her master was at a disadvantage and couldn''t help but sneered, "Do you dare to say that you have no intention of admiring Young Master Xu? She has tried her best to save people. You say there is no love, and you can be trusted by outsiders!"


    Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "Isn''t it good for me to be of noble character, I will come forward to help when the road sees injustice, and I must save people if I get hurt. You make me so sad to say that." He held his chest and made an uncomfortable look.


    He looked at Xu Changjie again, "Master Xu, you still pay the money."


    Xu Changjie''s face was stiff, "It''s not that it''s not yet time, I will pay you back."


    "What kind of silver?" Yang Lanrou frowned.


    Li Qinghe hurriedly before Xu Changjie spoke, said, "It is the gift of gratitude Xu Gongzi promised me."


    "How much?" Yang Lanrou''s expression was not so good, "I will pay him back."


    Li Qinghe snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "What you want is the kindness of Miss Yang." He stretched out his hand, "Twelve taels of silver. After I receive the silver, I will never see Young Master Xu again."


    Yang Lanrou was a little surprised, but when she heard the next sentence, her eyes motioned to the maid.


    The maid didn''t have so much scruples, she said while digging out her purse, "I don''t think you are doing anything, I am ashamed to ask for ten taels of silver."


    Li Qinghe spread his hands, "Master Xu agreed. No matter how envy you are, you were not there at that time."


    Seeing this maid looking at Xu Changjie''s shining eyes, anyone who is a little concerned can see that she is also interested in Xu Changjie.


    Hearing Li Qinghe''s words, the maid patted the silver ingot on her hand, "If I had saved Young Master Xu, I would definitely not ask him what he would like to thank."


    Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows and said with deep meaning, "In fact, it takes a gift of appreciation to get rid of the relationship! Girl, you have to think carefully!"


    The maid blushed and lowered her head in shame. Naturally, she didn''t see her master''s sudden cold eyes.


    village


    When they left, Li Qinghe took the silver ingot and was in a good mood. After sitting down with Zhou Chengkang, he smiled and said, "I''m very happy today. Let me treat you. Eat noodles and add meat."


    Zhou Chengkang was a little puzzled, and asked tentatively, "You didn''t propose marriage? Don''t you like..."


    Li Qinghe asked, "What do you like?" Touching his purse, "Silver is more reliable than a man. Besides, people have their own hearts. I want to go up and get nothing but sadness."


    The last sentence is quite meaningful.


    Zhou Chengkang was thoughtful, and the two stopped talking for a while. When they finished eating the noodles, the two went to the cloth shop.


    The cloth house of Zhang''s family is considered to be one of the best business cloth houses in town. It happened to be the market today, and the cloth house was crowded and crowded. Five or six people couldn''t greet him. Li Qinghe leaned on the counter and went straight into the backyard.


    As soon as I walked in, I saw Xu sitting under the eaves, with a six or seven-year-old boy sitting in front of him. He was shaking his head with a book and reading seriously. Xu listened with a smile, and she didn''t know if she understood. He looked up and saw Li Qinghe, smiled and got up, "Why?" He looked at her up and down again, "I heard that you were injured to save the Xu family? How was the injury?"


    Yu Guang glanced at Zhou Chengkang who had come in with Li Qinghe, frowned, pulled her into the door, closed the door and asked in a low voice, "Why are you walking with him? You don''t like Xu... Take this opportunity to propose marriage , If I am thinking of a way, most of the Xu family will not refuse."


    Li Qinghe was surprised, "What can you think of?"


    The Xu family was a little proud, "Bin''er''s aunt married a medicinal business, and the old lady of the Xu family has to get medicine every month. As long as I go and talk to his aunt, she is still willing to help with this little favor. , The price of medicinal materials will be increased randomly..." Xu Shi smiled, "I''m not afraid that his Xu family won''t agree."


    Li Qinghe was speechless for a while, and suddenly understood why Xu Changjie and Yang Lanrou were already happy in their previous life, but they still agreed to the marriage.


    "Then you are not afraid that the Xu family treats me badly?" Li Qinghe couldn''t help asking.


    Xu''s disapproval, "I am here, I will help you watch."


    But there are some things that can''t be threatened, such as Xu Changjie''s refusal to go back in the town, the indifference and cold treatment of the Xu family, and...


    These things, even if Xu''s mother-in-law, can''t control it.


    Xu is still analyzing with her, "Men, you can take care of yourself when you get married. Besides, the girl from the Yang family can still run to be a kid?"


    Li Qinghe twitched his mouth and fell on a normal person. To some extent, Xu''s idea was correct, but he couldn''t bear his affection! Yang Lanrou was as unwilling to be a child as Xu''s guess, she was killed as a successor.


    Anyway, she is also a rascal and unreasonable rogue. Even if you die, let alone, when Li Qinghe read that novel, she also felt that she was a bad guy who strayed people''s feelings.


    "Mother, I asked him to give Xie Yin and won''t marry him." Li Qinghe said seriously, "I won''t want a man whose heart is not on me."


    Xu was stunned. After reacting, he admired, "You really are my daughter." He looked outside and lowered his voice, "When your father married me, his heart was not on me, so we will not live long. You see now , I''m having a good time, and I won''t delay his staying with his sweetheart."


    He sighed again, "It''s just suffering, you ask for life under the hands of your stepmother."


    Li Qinghe was speechless, "Aunt Qian didn''t treat me wrong."


    "Impossible." Xu''s tone was determined. "That means she is going to pretend to be gentle and virtuous in front of your father. If your father is gone, she will specify another face to compare my heart to heart. I can''t do it to other people''s children. See it as your own. Besides, what kind of a good person can be who can hook up with a man behind his wife?"


    Li Qinghe didn''t like to listen to this. Although she was right in some words, such as if she couldn''t treat children born to others as her own, Qian did not treat her wrongly, but she just didn''t take it too slowly.


    Xu is very happy to see her because she is not happy to come. The last time I saw Xu Shi, it seemed that it was a long time ago. It was in the previous life, so she came here specially today.


    Hearing her saying this, Li Qinghe got up and said, "It''s not early, I should go back."


    Ignoring Xu''s call, she got up and went out, opened the door and ran into Mrs. Zhang''s family. Li Qinghe said hello, "Hi Madam."


    Madam Zhang glanced at her, paying special attention to her hands and body, and said casually, "Qinghe is here."


    Li Qinghe nodded and looked at Zhou Chengkang, "Let''s go back."

 Chapter 4： Buy land

    Mrs. Zhang is plump, this person looks rich, blocking the door and does not mean to let go, "Who is this?" Her eyes fell on Zhou Chengkang, with a teasing smile, "Is the good day coming soon?" "


    Nowadays, men and women meet for travel. Although they are not as distinct as the big families, young men and women get along alone and do have to have the meaning of marriage, and outsiders will default to being a couple. For example, Xu Changjie and Yang Lanrou, the Yang family did not agree to this marriage, but the two got so close, maybe they were just letting outsiders acquiesce first, and then the Yang family had to accept the idea.


    Of course, there are also people who can''t negotiate with each other. As long as they don''t meet in too remote places, such as shopping together like Fengji, they won''t be outsiders and they won''t say anything.


    Zhou Chengkang explained hurriedly, "No, Miss Li, she paid the money and asked me to give her a ride. Don''t get me wrong, Madam Zhang!"


    Li Qinghe had intended to acquiesce and fell silent after hearing the words, knowing that he was for his own reputation and not let Madam Zhang think about it, but being so eager to dismiss it was a bit hurtful.


    After leaving the cloth shop, Li Qinghe looked at the sky, pinched the silver on his body, and asked, "Is there anything I want to buy? If not, I want to go to the restaurant."


    In fact, when Mrs. Zhang entered the door just now and scanned her body and down, Li Qinghe understood what she meant. She wanted to see if the Xu family had stuffed money or something to bring her back.


    But in fact, Mrs. Zhang was more worried. Xu family rarely gave her money. Even in her previous life, when she married, Xu family only gave a few pieces of cloth as her dowry. Those fabrics are all clear roads. Most of them are cheap materials with some defects. They are enough for farmers, but they are really worthless.


    Zhou Chengkang shook his head, "I''ll be with you."


    The restaurant in Li Qinghe''s mouth was a helper at the back of the restaurant when she was not injured before, and because of this, she would travel daily between the village and the town, and this would hit Xu Changjie and be stabbed.


    To say that the only thing Xu did right to her was probably the job of this restaurant. Li Qinghe has been working in it for two years and he has seen a lot. Now his cooking skills are pretty good.


    When he arrived at the restaurant, Li Qinghe went into the back kitchen and said a few words to the chef in charge. The shopkeeper came over and handed her a purse like in his previous life. "I heard that you are injured. It takes a while to recover. coming."


    In the last life, Li Qinghe had broken with him for a long time, but this time she calmly accepted the purse, because she knew that breaking was useless. The shopkeeper''s niece had long been greedy for her job.


    Leaving the restaurant, Li Qinghe sighed, "Is there anything else? I want to go back."


    Zhou Chengkang shook his head and walked with her to the entrance of the town. When passing by the shop selling steamed buns, he bought some. Li Qinghe also bought some bags when he saw him. He planned to take them back to Li Fu and the others.


    When it was still early when she returned to the village, Li Qinghe simply went to the village chief¡¯s house. Her ten taels of silver had not been spent, and she didn¡¯t want to save it, so it was better to buy the land.


    The village chief shook his head, "It''s only August, and the crops in the fields have not been confiscated. There is no one to sell the land now. Even in October, there should be no suitable ones. Before and after this village, I never heard of any land. Sell."


    Li Qinghe is also aware of this, and people nowadays pay attention to an ancestral inheritance. If the land uploaded by the ancestor is sold, no matter what it is, it will be called a prodigal son.


    Li Qinghe pondered and said, "I want the wasteland of Xishan."


    The village chief was amazed, "It''s not good for you to keep this silver? The land... is uneven, with so many thorns, and the cows are not willing to go. What kind of silver is it worth? What are you buying for?"


    "You can ask me how much money I can buy, and I want to buy it as soon as possible." Li Qinghe was indeed determined.


    The village chief was helpless and asked tentatively, "You kid, you should discuss with your father on such a big deal as buying land."


    "No." Li Qinghe said earnestly, "My father and I have long been unable to speak peacefully. This silver is my own, and I will be the master. Please help me ask."


    The last sentence was sincere, and the village chief reluctantly agreed.


    After a delay for a long time, when the sun set down when I went out, seeing that it was getting dark, Li Qinghe turned around and looked at Zhou Chengkang in the sunset, "Do you think I was a waste of money to buy that wasteland?"


    Zhou Chengkang shook his head with gentle eyes, "You always have your reason to do things."


    Hearing these words, Li Qinghe was more satisfied with him and got into the carriage again and went home.


    He sent Zhou Chengkang away at the door. Li Qinghe walked in and saw Li Fu looking in the direction Zhou Chengkang had left. He disagreed and said, "Girl''s house, don''t get too close to people. You can''t have that thought for him. "


    Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "Isn''t it good?"


    Li Fu sighed, "Their family is too poor, I''m afraid you will suffer."


    Qian turned out from the backyard, saw the father and daughter, smiled, "Qinghe is back?"


    Li Qinghe nodded, and got up to enter the door. Qian glanced at Li Fu and said, "I heard that you went to town today and met someone from the Xu family?"


    Does this know?


    Li Qinghe didn''t mean to conceal it, "I met. Mr. Xu and the girl from the Yang family have breakfast together."


    "Is Mr. Xu returned to you?" Qian asked casually.


    "Return it." Li Qinghe replied smoothly, "Miss Yang lent it to him."


    Li Fu listened silently, frowned upon hearing this, "How can you ask for the Yang family''s silver?"


    "Whose money is different? Anyway, so many people saw that Xu Changjie gave it back to me." Li Qinghe didn''t care.


    Qian agreed with these words, "If it weren''t for borrowing, the Xu family wouldn''t pay it back, and how long can he pay it back on his own? That''s it..." She looked at Li Fu and tentatively said, "Qinghe is young, this But ten taels of silver, do you want us to collect it for her, so as not to lose it?"


    This made Li Qinghe very surprised. She had been helping the kitchen in a restaurant in town two years ago. Qian had no idea about her monthly money and never mentioned it, because she would bring back scraps from the kitchen, sometimes It''s lean meat or big bones, which can''t be sold in the restaurant. This is all distributed by the chef in the restaurant. It is also because of this that the shopkeeper wants to stuff the niece in.


    Originally, Li Qinghe thought that Qian had no idea about her monthly money, because Qian had told her neighbors and relatives more than once that she would let her take her monthly money, and let her take the dowry of the money in the future, which also helped Qian save it. force.


    It turned out not to be indifferent, but not enough money to make her tempted.


    Li Fu frowned, "Or I will put it away for you and press the bottom of the box when you get married."


    "No." Li Qinghe rebuffed, "I can take it by myself, so please don''t bother."


    The words were hard, Qian looked sad, "Qinghe still doesn''t trust me enough."


    Li Fu glared at Li Qinghe and hurriedly went to comfort him.

 Chapter 5： dispute

    Li Qinghe sneered and turned to enter the door.


    Hearing her disdainful voice, Qian''s complexion became stiff, and he became more and more disappointed, "I really want you to help her keep it. You said that a small yard can be built with a dozen silver. What if you lose it?" Worried.


    Even if Li Qinghe entered the door, he paid special attention to the movements of the two outsiders. Hearing this, he said, "That was my life in exchange for it. Even if I lost it, I would be happy!"


    "What is your attitude?" Li Fu scolded, "Even if you don''t recognize her, she is your elder anyway."


    "I didn''t say that she was not." Li Qinghe opened the door and leaned against the door frame. "I didn''t disrespect her, but you can''t give me money."


    Li Fu was dissatisfied, "We don''t ask you for money. It''s your auntie Qian''s generosity. Don''t mention that before, it was during the time you were injured. Who served you and asked the doctor to give you medicine?


    "Then I didn''t eat it in vain. The meat and bones I got back in the past two years are less?" Li Qinghe looked straight at Qian, "I haven''t seen those things."


    Earlier, Li Qinghe helped in the restaurant. The helpers in it didn''t eat at home. They ran into the restaurant and fooled around. They were also fuller than at home.


    Don''t open Qian''s eyes, "Then I didn''t want to eat, I gave it to your father."


    Li Fu agreed, "You brought something back, it''s amazing? No matter what, your Aunt Qian didn''t treat you badly."


    Li Qinghe didn''t refute this. Qian''s family was still good before this silver. The management outside the house and the honesty to Li Fu were really hard.


    If she doesn''t move her money, the two can definitely get along.


    Li Qinghe nodded, remembering something, and said, "Forgot to tell you that the shopkeeper at the restaurant quit me."


    "Ah!" Qian was surprised, he didn''t care to be angry, and asked hurriedly, "Why?"


    Li Qinghe sighed, "There is no reason, just say that I am injured so that I can recover."


    "That won''t work, you did a good job, why did the shopkeeper quit you?" Qian was anxious. "Have you ever found your boss?"


    "I didn''t find it." It was useless to find it.


    "How can you not find it? Tomorrow you will go to the boss. He must not know if the shopkeeper resigns you. How can you lose this job?" Qian said, "You are too, how can you just come back like this?" There are also bones. It¡¯s okay to bring the bones back to your dad. It¡¯s been half a month since you haven¡¯t seen the fish. Your dad has lost weight."


    Li Qinghe simply laughed angrily. If she doesn''t bring meat back together, will the family stop eating meat? "I dont go."


    Qian didn''t understand this, so he turned around twice and patted his head, "Your mother did you find this job for you. Ask her where to go?"


    Li Qinghe rebuffed, "No, it just happens that I don''t want to do it anymore." In fact, she went to find the boss in her last life, but between her and the shopkeeper, the boss chose the shopkeeper and resigned her. Originally, she wanted to be bad, and being a restaurant shopkeeper would naturally be trusted by the owner, so how could she prefer her as a helper?


    "I don''t want to do it!" Qian''s voice raised his voice. "You can''t play idle if you don''t do your home and don''t have your work?"


    At the end of the conversation, she realized that she was overly emotional, so she calmed down her tone and discussed with Li Fu, "Why don''t we let Qinghe find another job? We don''t want her money, but she has to save her dowry?"


    This is true and sincere, Li Fu agreed, and ordered, "Tomorrow you will go to town to find a job."


    It is said that the work can be found as soon as you look for it. If nothing else, it is only during the slack in the village, who does not want to find a day labor to earn some money, but those who really earn some money are all laborers.


    "I can''t find it." Li Qinghe looked at Li Fu, "By the way, my mother was looking for the last job, this time it is Dad''s turn, right?"


    Hearing this, Li Fujiang swallowed back when she asked her to look for Xu Shi again.


    I didn''t want to talk to them anymore, "My wound hurts and I need to rest." After speaking, he closed the door.


    Li Qinghe didn''t even come out for dinner, only took two buns that she had brought back and ate them with regret. In her memory, Qian was indifferent to her, but some of them were not overly targeted. She didn''t expect that humanity could not stand the test. If she had known this, she would not buy this bun.


    Li Qinghe will not go out anymore, staying at home and staying idle. He will help with some work. The bad thing is that every time she eats, Li Fu will inevitably persuade her to find work in the town. Qian also helps, the only thing is quiet Yes, it is Zhao Wanwan, with her head down every time she eats, without a word.


    Two days later, Li Qinghe got up early in the morning, wondering if he should go to the village chief to ask, and get the title deed earlier. As soon as she went out, she ran into Zhao Wanwan, and she seemed to be about to knock on the door.


    Zhao Wanwan reluctantly laughed, "Sister, my mother asked me to tell you that I will look better today."


    The peasant girl usually doesn''t say whether she is good or not, unless she looks at each other.


    Li Qinghe had a bad feeling, "Why?"


    "My mother won''t let me say." Zhao Wanwan looked embarrassed.


    Hearing that, Li Qinghe just wanted to curse, got closer, and asked in a low voice, "Are you looking at each other?"


    Zhao Wanwan looked at the kitchen and nodded slightly.


    "What kind of person?" Li Qinghe asked again.


    "From our village, you know." Zhao Wanwan''s voice was low and inaudible, and she glanced at the kitchen again, "It''s my cousin."


    The Xu family had no contact with the Li family for a long time, and Zhao Wanwan¡¯s cousin could only be the Qian family.


    The old couple of the Qian family had only Qian and her inadequate younger brother, but before the youngest son, they adopted a nephew who was two years younger than the Qian¡¯s in the nephew. They raised them for seven or eight years and gave birth to their younger son. Went back.


    Although he is an adopted child, he has a good relationship with the Qian family, and also has a good relationship with the Qian family¡¯s younger brother. Now the Qian family is both old and unable to support his son¡¯s education expenses. This adopted child has given a lot of money to his younger brother. , Not only that, but also often give some cloth food to the two elders of the Qian family.


    Right now, many people envy the Qian family''s kindness in return. The cousin Zhao Wanwan said should belong to his family.


    For a while, Li Qinghe had all kinds of tastes in his heart, and even wondered why the Qians didn''t want her wages. It was thought that it belonged to the Qian family.


    Of course, it could also be that she herself was extreme. In any case, she didn''t want to follow Qian''s wishes. After washing up casually, she went in and took the previous savings and went out.


    Qian also chased it out, "Qinghe, I''m going to have breakfast, where are you going?"


    "I don''t have to wait for me to eat, I''m going to find a job." Li Qinghe opened his mouth and came. If he doesn''t answer, he won''t be able to find Qian after a while.


    The reasons were readily available. The girl was unwilling to look at it, and ran out when she was angry. She came out to look for it with worry.


    Originally the girl looked normal at her age, and everyone would say that her was wrong.

 Chapter 6： Blow

    After leaving the house, she did not stop and went straight to the village chief''s house.


    The village chief saw that it was her and sighed, "Really want to buy that land?"


    Li Qinghe nodded, "I thought about it a long time ago."


    Hearing that, the village head was quite stern, "Normal fertile land is about two to three acres, and fertile land costs five to two. If you want that barren hill, there is nothing on it, just one or two for one acre. But you have to think about it. Once you get the title deed, if you can''t sell it, you won''t be able to get your money back."


    "I understand." Li Qinghe replied casually, secretly calculating her savings. In the past two years, she has saved four taels of silver, plus the twelve taels over there, which can buy ten acres of land, but now the Qian family has started. Marry her mind, then she has to leave a way for herself.


    Although Li Qinghe did not marry the right person in his previous life, he does not reject it. As long as the person is right, life will not be sad. "Excuse me, please take me to the town to write the title deed, and then find Brother Bing to measure it."


    The village chief frowned, "Buying land is a big deal, it''s not a little bit of money, don''t be so anxious, don''t regret it."


    "I don''t regret it." Li Qinghe pursed her lips. "Today, my Aunt Qian asked someone to show me to see him. He is the cousin of Uncle Wanwan''s family."


    "Naughty!" Although there are many foreigners living in this village, the village chief is the Li family, and by all accounts he is the cousin of Li Qinghe''s grandfather, and a very close elder. At this time, he was a little angry, "Don''t worry, I will go Tell your grandfather about this, he won''t let your father find you in-law''s indiscriminately."


    Li Qinghe said hurriedly, "Don¡¯t bother grandpa. In the end, it¡¯s all about money. I never heard that Aunt Qian would help me negotiate a marriage. Today, I suddenly called someone...waiting for me to get the title deed. When they get it, they will stop. If it still fails, I will ask Grandpa to be the master."


    What I went to find in the town was still Zhou Chengkang¡¯s carriage, and the village chief kept persuading, "Are you no longer thinking about it? The land is really useless."


    Li Qinghe was determined, and said firmly, "I want to take the land deed. The silver is easily taken away, but the land deed is my name and will always be mine."


    This is indeed the truth. If the name is not written on the silver, whoever gets it will count as the title deed.


    All the land in the town is under the control of the mayor. The village mayor has already asked about it. Although the mayor is confused, he doesn''t ask much. In the final analysis, this kind of wasteland cannot be sold, and Li Qinghe is willing to buy it. This money does not need to be recorded. In other words, as long as no one asks the money, it is likely to fall into the mayor''s private house.


    Li Qinghe didn''t care about this. Anyway, the title deed was real. After getting the piece of paper with ten acres of wasteland wet, and seeing the signature in the corner, she was relieved.


    Then, two more government officials followed the carriage back to the village, took the measuring bamboo pole, and began to measure the ground. Li Qinghe stuffed two cents of silver for the two of them, and then relaxed the amount when measuring the land. The village head followed. The two and the village head seemed to know each other. They talked and laughed all the way and finished measuring the land. Of course, it was more than ten acres. Li Qinghe chose the flattest piece, which was deserted and no one came over after the measurement.


    Zhou Chengkang sent the two government officials back to the town, and Li Qinghe returned to the village with the village chief with the title deed.


    The village chief lives at the entrance of the village. He went home to pass by the door of Li Qinghe''s house. When he reached the door of her house, he paused, "I haven''t been to your house for a long time, so let''s go in and take a look."


    This was trying to beat Qian, Li Qinghe was grateful, and hurriedly led him in.


    I didn''t feel it when I walked outside, but I found it lively in the yard. Qian smiled and came out carrying the teapot, apparently planning to add hot water. When he saw the village head and Li Qinghe walking in, his complexion became stiff, and he quickly recovered his smile, "Uncle San is here, hurry in and sit in the house."


    Then he instructed Li Qinghe, "Qinghe, pour tea for your third grandfather." After speaking, he pulled her into the kitchen.


    The tone is close and casual. In fact, although their family and the village chief are related by blood, they are not so close. As for the reason...we have to start with Li Fu and Qian.


    When the two were separated, it was nothing. Unmarried men and women admired each other, but the marriage failed too much. No wonder, but after the Qian''s widow came to hook up with Li Fu, many people couldn''t accept it.


    It was Li Qinghe''s grandparents. When Li Fu and Xu''s family were married, Li Fu became angry with his parents. After they got married, they didn''t have much contact with each other. But when he hooked up with Qian''s family, they completely broke off contact there.


    This is also the reason why Li Qinghe refused the village chief''s proposal to let her grandfather be the master. There is no contact anymore, and I feel like I lowered my head to find her son again.


    "Where have you been? You won''t really ask the village chief to help you decide?" Qian said while adding water to the pot, "My nephew is two years younger than you, but he has been learning carpentry for five years. If you marry him in the future, you won¡¯t have a hard time. I¡¯m also doing this for your own good. But if you have such a big reaction, you can tell me if you are not willing to run out like this. Just now your aunt brought him and didn¡¯t watch. You, how embarrassing I am."


    Li Qinghe was irritable when he heard it. "You asked for the embarrassment. Let me see you. Why don''t you tell me? I don''t know if I don''t know, I think you are an old bustard."


    Qian frowned, "What are you talking about? Don''t talk like that when you''re not happy."


    Li Qinghe picked up the cup, "Then I''ll tell you now, I don''t agree to this marriage. I''m not happy with any of your Qian''s family, right?"


    Qian gave her a hand, looked at the yard, and lowered her voice, "You keep your voice down. You are a stubborn child. You can''t refuse a good marriage because you hate me. How difficult is it for a peasant girl to marry a skilled worker? , If it wasn''t for the relationship between our two families and it was not your turn. I would harm you, but your father would never. This marriage would be good for your father..."


    This kind of person, no matter what she says to her, she only listens to what she wants to hear, and the rest is the wind blowing in her ears, Li Qinghe is impatient, "You have to be happy to marry you! Anyway, I won''t marry!"


    Qian frowned, "Don''t think that I don''t know your thoughts. That week''s family was so good, so poor, and the whole family would wear a suit. He has been busy for you recently, just for your money!"


    "The silver is gone." Li Qinghe said casually.


    Hearing this, Qian was stunned for a moment, his voice raised and eagerly said, "Where did you spend it?"


    Seeing her anxious face, Li Qinghe was happy, "It''s over anyway."


    After speaking, he took a teacup into the hall and poured tea for the village chief.


    The Qian clan who was left in a daze murmured, "It''s gone, it''s gone, how can it be gone, ten taels..."


    Li Qinghe was in a good mood, and when he was pouring tea, he heard someone say behind him, "It is indeed a child raised by my sister. He is sensible and quick to do things. Whose family is blessed if they can get this girl." Zhao Wanwan''s aunt.


    The village chief immediately answered, "I''m still young and ignorant." An elder''s humble tone, and the young age also meant to refuse marriage.


    Originally, I was young, so what kind of pro? If you are a sensible person, you will not deliberately mention the relationship here.

 Chapter 7： Thoughts

    Li Qinghe poured tea, and then turned to look at the woman behind him. She was about forty years old, with deep wrinkles between her eyebrows and eyes. On the side was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old simple boy who met her. After staring, he hung his head down, his already dark face seemed to be stained with red.


    Hearing that, You''s face remained unchanged, and he glanced at his son''s expression, smiled and said, "Uncle, that''s not the case, the child''s marriage still has to be anxious. My family has come to the end of the fourteenth year, if it is decided now Marriage, next year¡¯s New Year will be the fifteenth year, so it¡¯s easy to get married."


    "Our Qinghe is not in a hurry." The village head picked up the tea cup and drank tea slowly.


    If the sentence just now is considered vague, this sentence is a clear refusal to agree to the marriage.


    You''s stunned and looked at Zhao Wanwan in the corner, "Wanwan, where is your mother?"


    Zhao Wanwan ran out in a hurry.


    Youshi smiled and groaned, "Uncle, I think these two children match well. The marriage still needs to be cared about. Otherwise, the good time is over and the good offspring will be picked away. Wouldn''t it be a delay to my child?"


    These remarks also made the marriage clear, and the village head frowned.


    You''s not enough, and continued, "Our family has been studying woodworking in the town for five years, and the master who took him said that he can be a teacher after another one or two years. To be honest, the Yang family in the town, and that Meaning, the trustee asked me."


    Li Qinghe glanced at Qian Laiman in surprise. The Yang family in the town, but Yang Lanrou''s Yang family was the only one. He didn''t expect that the two were almost involved.


    "No, no." Qian Lai waved his hand bewilderedly and explained quickly, "My master and the Yang family are at odds. This marriage will never happen."


    You''s stared at him with hatred for iron and steel, a little proud, "It''s not just the Yang family, but many people from my natal family also asked people to ask, if it wasn''t for my sister, we...have already decided."


    Seeing You''s appearance is not about Joe, people really think Li Qinghe has climbed high.


    The craftsmen of the day indeed many girls are willing to marry, second only to scholars, and you should be proud of it. It''s just... Li Qinghe is not happy to marry her.


    In particular, You''s was originally younger than Qian''s, and the money came to be an apprentice in the town, not to mention board and lodging, and there was still a little salary, but Yu''s didn''t seem to be very easy, on the contrary, he looked miserable. Usually very bitter, how about silver?


    No amount of money is enough for two reading books!


    Li Qinghe smiled and said sincerely, "Then I hope my aunt will find a good wife soon."


    The village chief is not easy to refuse at this time, and Li Qinghe refuses by himself, which makes sense.


    You''s complexion was not very good, so he immediately got up, grabbed the money and went out. He walked too quickly and was tripped by the threshold. He cursed at the moment, "I don''t know what is good or bad, just cut it with a knife."


    When I walked to the yard and met Qian who came out of the kitchen, he was a bit angry, "Sister, we can''t climb high." After finishing speaking, he ignored Qian''s call and hurried out of the yard.


    Qian chased him to the door and watched the people walk away. Turning and reproaching his eyes fell on Li Qinghe.


    Li Qinghe raised his hand to stop her accusation, "Don''t talk, you won''t have to take care of my marriage from now on."


    The village chief is still there, and Qian¡¯s eye circles immediately turned red. ¡°Although you were sensible when I came here, I have never treated you badly over the years, and now I¡¯ll help you say kiss...¡±


    Li Qinghe turned around impatiently and looked at the village chief, "Grandpa Third, I will send you back."


    The village chief did not move and asked, "Where is your father."


    Li Qinghe shook his head, but now it''s the autumn harvest. "Maybe I went to see the crops in the field."


    The village chief snorted coldly, stepped out, and glared at Qian, "I will come back in the evening and talk to him. If you want your own ideas, you can''t just listen to women''s opinions."


    Li Qinghe turned and walked in.


    Qian''s complexion was green and white, Zhao Wanwan shrank in the corner and dared not speak. As a result, Qian''s anger came to her. For a while, he ignored the gentle image and asked loudly, "If you don''t agree to come to such a good person, do you really want to go to Zhou''s house?"


    Li Qinghe didn''t look back, "Can you control it?" It was tantamount to acquiescence. What appeared before her was the look of Zhou Chengkang who couldn''t afford to cry in front of her grave in her previous life.


    There was a horse neighing behind him, as if he was right behind him. Li Qinghe turned his head subconsciously and saw Zhou Chengkang whose face was flushed immediately. He was overjoyed and somewhat at a loss, "I...I just came." he added, " I heard nothing."


    Seeing that, I heard everything clearly.


    Li Qinghe: "..." In the last life until she got married, I didn''t know what this person thought of her. I wanted to wait and see how long he could hold back. But what she said just now is not a promise.


    Meeting her gaze, Zhou Chengkang only felt that his face was about to burn, "Brother Cha has already sent it back. It''s not early, I''ll go back first."


    Pulling the horse whip, it quickly disappeared.


    Li Qinghe, "..." It runs fast! See when you can hold it back.


    Qian frowned, stopped talking about marriage, and asked, "Just now there were guests at home, I haven''t asked you yet, where did you spend your money?"


    "You can''t control it." Li Qinghe blocked it with just one sentence.


    Qian''s face turned pale with anger, "You live at home, don''t you eat?"


    "Oh, finally don''t pretend to be a mother?" Li Qinghe looked at her up and down, his eyes full of wonder, "Don''t you treat me as your own daughter, since I am the same as Wanwan, why didn''t you ask her for money?"


    When Zhao Wanwan heard this, she quickly slipped away.


    Li Qinghe glanced at it. Zhao Wanwan is a good girl. She didn''t mean to target her, but instead asked, "This family can''t accommodate me. Want to marry me?"


    Qian''s complexion was very ugly, so he looked away.


    "If you don''t answer, it''s acquiescence." Li Qinghe stepped into the door and said leisurely, "Unfortunately, this is my home. I don''t want to go, and no one can force me to leave."

 Chapter 8： Noisy

    Qian''s sneer came from behind, "What''s so strange about a girl who is getting married? I want to stay at home forever and I am not afraid of people making jokes."


    Li Qinghe stopped walking in the door and turned around and said, "My father is just my daughter. Isn''t it inviting me to recruit?"


    Recruitment is just a talk. If Li Qinghe is really allowed to stay at home, she will not do it. The two true loves will leave them at home.


    She opened her mouth and came, but Qian was choked by these words and looked suspiciously at her back until she disappeared.


    At dinner, Li Fu held a bowl, coughed a clear cough, and asked, "Qinghe, do you want to stay at home and recruit?"


    Li Qinghe gave a hum and buried his head in eating.


    Qian didn''t raise his eyes, it seemed that it had nothing to do with her. But Li Qinghe and Qian knew about this matter. Although Zhao Wanwan might have heard it, she is not too talkative. It''s definitely not her, it can only be Qian.


    Li Fu picked up chopsticks and said, "It''s better for a girl to marry a talent. What kind of a good person can you recruit? A better one knows that a motivated man will not agree to be a parent. The idler recruits, whether he takes care of you or Do you take care of him?"


    "For the time being, I don''t want to mention marriage." Li Qinghe put down his chopsticks, "Father, don''t you want to keep me like that? Looking at your posture, I wish I would marry tomorrow."


    Li Fu frowned, "What kind of attitude is this? I heard that you want to recruit extras, and I''m discussing it with you. After all, it''s for your own good. Who said you want to urge you to marry?"


    Li Qinghe looked at Qian with a sneer, and asked, "Who did you hear that I wanted to recruit extras? Also, today I was asked to come to see you, isn''t it urging me to marry?"


    She looked at Qian, "I went out early and returned two years later in this home. Now my work is gone, and there is no place for me at home, right?"


    Li Fu frowned, knocked on the table with his chopsticks, "Don''t look at your Aunt Qian, she is also for your good."


    Li Qinghe did not show weakness, and did not soften his tone and attitude because Li Fu is her father. "There is only you in her eyes. Where is my place? Please don''t do it for me. I am afraid of marrying to Qian''s house. Treat people as cattle and raise the two scholars!"


    "What''s this!" Li Fu was anxious, "Well, what''s wrong with it? I don''t think you know good or bad!"


    Li Qinghe quickly answered, "He is good at everything, but there is an older brother and uncle who study, and whoever marries is unlucky! Anyway, if I don''t marry, whoever accepts the betrothal gift from the Qian family will marry himself!"


    The last sentence is to warn Qian.


    She can really do it secretly. In particular, she is especially good at superficial skills. When Li Fu was there, she was always gentle and virtuous.


    Qian patted Li Fu''s arm, "When eating, stop making noise, the child should be too angry to eat."


    "I won''t be overwhelmed. If you''re full, eat slowly." Li Qinghe looked indifferent.


    Qian choked, his eye circles were red again. Li Fu was busy comforting again, Li Qinghe took the opportunity to go out, followed by Zhao Wanwan.


    "Would you like to go out for a tour?" It was still dark, and Li Qinghe wanted to go to see the field. When measuring today, he didn''t actually observe much.


    Zhao Wanwan shook her head, "I have to clean up the dishes later."


    Li Qinghe was silent. Zhao Wanwan had almost done all the housework outside of the house except cooking. If she hadn''t gone to the town to help out, there would be no people at all during the day and would basically not eat at home. Maybe the neighbors around should have the Li family. Gossip about the abuse of Zhao''s girl.


    "Sister, go by yourself." Zhao Wanwan whispered when she saw her silence.


    If it weren''t for the quiet surroundings, Li Qinghe couldn''t hear her clearly, "I''m not going anymore, I''ll help you wash the dishes." As for the ground, it''s the same for visiting during the day.


    She stayed at home all day and couldn''t do nothing.


    The next morning, the sky was bright outside, and there were voices outside. Li Qinghe got up and went out and saw Zhao Wanwan''s uncle, who was Qian''s younger brother, standing at the gate.


    For this person, Li Qinghe only heard from the surrounding population that he was not a good person, saying that he was studying, but in fact, eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling were all taken up, spending a lot of money every month.


    Qian''s helpless voice came from the gate, "That''s all for me."


    A young man''s greasy voice came immediately, with dissatisfaction, "What are these pennies enough for? There are not enough steamed buns to eat. It''s not that Li Qinghe lost a dozen pennies, just give me two and two!"


    Qian was a little anxious, "I didn''t get the silver... You go quickly, don''t let your brother-in-law see you here."


    The greasy voice was lazy, without Qian''s anxiety at all, "You are her mother, even if you are a stepmother, she has been pulled up. It should be filial to you, but if you don''t give it all to you, half should have it?" Gradually The tone was cruel, "Don''t lie to me, get it quickly."


    "Really not!" Qian seemed to be crying.


    "Sure enough, it''s rubbish, a woman is soft-hearted, she is a little girl, how can you just charge her all?" Qian Laiwen said viciously.


    Li Qinghe stood under the eaves and heard from the beginning to the end. He never thought that Qian''s communication was such a stubborn person. Looking at the hostility between his eyebrows, it can be seen that he is not cruel, he really thinks so.


    "With your brother-in-law, where can I do something to her?" Qian''s more aggrieved, let alone do it, even quarreling with Li Qinghe did not give up, there was no trace of respect for her stepmother in his expression and attitude, and he could not count on it. My daughter is a soft temper, and I can''t count on it. I only hope that Li Fu will die later, and... the only thing I can count on is this younger brother. Ten years younger than her, young enough to treat him well, sincerely change his heart, and money will return to her in the future.


    Thinking of this, Qian took it again, and again took out a silver pin, and stuffed it into his arms, "It''s really gone, let''s go."


    Qian Laiwen was pushed away, and Li Qinghe came out of the shadows and saw Zhao Wanwan standing by the kitchen door frame at a glance. I don''t know how long she had been watching, and her expression was a little sad and resentful, complicated and unspeakable.

 Chapter 9： "Meeting"

    Qian turned around and saw two people in the yard looking directly at her. She was startled at first, then recovered her complexion, and said, "Wanwan, you can help me cook and steam some steamed buns for a while. The autumn harvest is coming, and there will be no time to cook."


    Zhao Wanwan didn''t move, "You quietly give money to uncle?"


    Qian''s complexion changed, he glanced vaguely at Li Qinghe, frowned and said, "Bad girl, learn to peek. How can it be said that it was secretly? Your father asked me to give your uncle the money. He has been studying hard, so it should be more. Eat some meat dishes."


    Speaking of the last, a look of worry.


    Really think so.


    Li Qinghe didn''t have any problem with Qian''s use of silver to supplement his younger brother, but the silver should belong to her father. If Li Fu had a bad life, she wouldn''t be able to watch it, otherwise the spit star in the village could drown her.


    Then he said, "I''ll ask my father."


    She said she was about to go out, and she did not forget to carry a knife for mowing. Ignoring Qian''s call, she went to her wasteland after going out.


    It''s probably useless to say that. Qian always has a way to coax Li Fu well, and she doesn''t bother to say that. The reason for saying that is just to scare Qian.


    The land she bought was in the southwest of the village, close to the foot of the mountain, and separated from the village by a small river. The sun began to shine in the morning and the surrounding scenery was good. In fact, after she married into Xu''s family in her previous life, she had no time to go out. When I walked in, I was pressured by all kinds of housework, and I had to help me get to the ground when I planted in the spring and harvested in the autumn.


    Going comfortably to the southwest, the road is quite wide, and a woman in front carrying a large load of grass came over. After seeing Li Qinghe, she stopped and said, "Qinghe, where is this going?"


    The woman in front of her was gray-haired, her eyebrows and her eyes were filled with deep and shallow gullies from life, and the smile on her face was reluctant, faintly flattering.


    This person... is Zhou Chengkang''s mother.


    Zhou Chengkang¡¯s five siblings, he is the third child, and there is a younger sister. His father fell ill shortly after giving birth to the youngest daughter. He died after two years. The family was already poor, and he barely managed to live. Years dragged the family around, but still failed to save it. Qian''s claim that Zhou''s family is poor is not a lie. Normal girls, no one wants to marry Zhou''s family at all.


    Zhou Chengkang''s eldest and second brothers are still bachelors.


    Zhou Chengkang had never said his affection for her in his last life. This should be the biggest reason.


    Li Qinghe sighed inwardly, smiled lightly, "Aunt Zhou, it''s so early."


    Mother Zhou waved her hand, "It''s getting late, I''ll go back first."


    When Li Qinghe reached the ground, she was not busy cleaning up. If she let her own such a large area, she would not be able to cut it down after the year. This kind of wasteland still has roots in it. If it is opened up, the roots must be dug out. After cleaning up the gravel on the ground, even some places are simply big rocks. If you are planting the ground, you will never expect to have a harvest for ten or eight years.


    When measuring the land, remember that there is a pond with about two points of land inside. There is living water there, and the excess flows into the small river. There are some small fish, and there are still bold people in the village who will come here to fish.


    Li Qinghe originally thought that it was used here to raise fish. There are few live fish in Luoyue Town. They are brought back from outside. The price is the same as pork, but the fish is different from pork. A catty of pork is a whole piece of meat, but fish...a catty of fish has water, internal organs and fish bones. It is more than twice as expensive as pork. Even so, every time there is fish in the market, it will be People robbed.


    Looking at the pond, Li Qinghe figured that he would have to find someone to fish out the dead branches and fallen leaves, then repair the edge of the pond before buying fry.


    This fish fry, you have to inquire carefully... just as he was thinking about it, footsteps came over behind him, Li Qinghe turned around, and saw Zhou Chengkang hurriedly running, "Do you want to help? You can ask me if you have anything."


    Li Qinghe looked at him, watched him lower his head uncomfortably, and said, "Speaking of which I have not given you the money to pick up people who asked you for help a few times before, how much do you want to give you?"


    "No need!" Zhou Chengkang refused hurriedly. He hesitated and stopped, finally plucking up the courage, "I don''t want money, just want to help you, want to take care of you, I..."


    "Qinghe, what are you doing here?" Li Fu''s voice came from a distance, and also interrupted Zhou Chengkang''s unfinished words.


    He quickly arrived, and his unkind eyes fell on Zhou Chengkang, "What are you doing here?"


    Li Qinghe answered, "I asked him to help, and I''m calculating my salary." He asked again, "Father, why are you here?"


    Li Fu was not angry, "I went home for breakfast, and heard your Aunt Qian said that you ran out by yourself with a knife. I was worried and asked all the way. Your Aunt Qian said earlier that you came out to find someone and I will pay. Do not believe¡­¡­"


    Is this alluding that she ran out after an appointment with Zhou Chengkang?


    Since she didn''t want to live a good life, Li Qinghe was not polite, "Father, I saw Wanwan''s uncle today, and Aunt Qian gave him money."


    Li Fu''s complexion was hard to look at for an instant, because Zhou Chengkang was here, he didn''t say much, his tone was not very good, "There are not many fish here, go home."


    Li Qinghe thought for a while and said, "Father, I bought this pond."


    Li Fu had already turned around and planned to go home. Hearing this, he turned his head and frowned and asked, "What did you say? What is this pond?"


    "It''s mine!" Li Qinghe replied sternly.


    Li Fu froze for a moment, and realized that Li Qinghe wasn''t joking with him, and was furious when she kept saying that she had spent the money, "You can still bear it? What''s the use of this pond?"

 Chapter 10： Chance encounter

    When he returned home, Li Fu''s expression was also very ugly. Qian saw him and said earnestly, "Don''t be angry, it is normal for children to have their own ideas when they are older."


    Zhao Wanwan was preparing dinner, and Li Qinghe followed her to the kitchen. When there were only two people left, she whispered, "Sister, just now Dad came back, and my mother said you had an appointment and ran out."


    Before Li Qinghe spoke, there was a shadow at the door. When he raised his eyes, he saw Qian''s face looking ugly. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhao Wanwan''s ears, "Dead girl, I learned how to break my mouth behind him."


    Zhao Wanwan was swayed by her strength, Li Qinghe stepped forward to push her, "Don''t hit anyone."


    After pushing Qian away, Zhao Wanwan''s ears were already red, and Li Qinghe frowned, "Your daughter, don''t you feel bad..."


    Qian slammed into the door frame, clutched his shoulders, and cursed, "Debt collectors, bully me with outsiders."


    These words happened to be heard by Li Fu who heard the movement, frowning, "What are you doing, don''t you eat? Get out if you don''t eat!"


    Qian''s curse that was about to be spoken immediately swallowed it back, Zhao Wanwan lowered her head and pinched the corners of her clothes uneasy, Li Qinghe was also quite surprised, Li Fu was rarely so angry, especially when facing Qian, she was always gentle and generous. of.


    A meal was so depressing, Li Fu threw the tableware away after he finished eating, and got up to go out.


    Qian asked hurriedly, "Where are you going?" After a pause, he added, "Would you like to give you food at noon?"


    "No." Li Fu turned around and looked at her, "I went to town to find money and write to him and ask him for money."


    Qian''s face was pale, "I..."


    Li Fu raised his hand to stop her, "I said, you can spend any money with you, and you can buy some clothes and snacks for your parents. Men earn money to buy clothes and jewelry for their wife and honor the Yue family. Give the money to my brother-in-law, I won''t agree to even a penny!"


    Qian''s eyes were full of tears, "He borrowed it and will pay it back. He is my brother. He came to the door to borrow some silver to buy rice. Can I still refuse?"


    Li Fu nodded, "Then you go and change clothes. Let''s go to town to see what he is doing."


    Qian still vaguely knows the virtues of his younger brother. He likes to go to Hualou, but it is almost noon now, and it¡¯s noon in town. Hualou hasn¡¯t opened yet, so he cried and went back to the room to change clothes.


    Zhao Wanwan began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Li Fu stood in the yard with her hands behind her back. Yu Guang saw her red ears, but she had been running a few times in the kitchen and the hall for a few breaths. She thought for a while and said, "Wanwan, you Change clothes too, go together."


    After hearing this, Zhao Wanwan''s eyes lit up, and she asked in surprise, "Really?"


    Li Qinghe came out carrying a bowl and heard their conversation. Li Fu was a little embarrassed, "Qinghe, are you going?"


    of course yes.


    On the way to the town, Li Fu was very cold and the atmosphere was dull. It was useless for Qian to find opportunities to talk to him several times.


    Zhao Wanwan was quite excited. The atmosphere in front of the two was not right, so she didn''t move forward, and only whispered and excited to talk to Li Qinghe about the last time she went to town. It was during the Chinese New Year, and it had been more than half a year.


    "My favorite is steamed buns. The last time you brought it back, I got one. I didn''t want to eat it all at once. I divided it into three times, but it was delicious." She said, she sucked.


    Li Qinghe was surprised, "Just eat one?"


    At that time, she bought ten or so, and she took two of them, and there were eight left.


    Zhao Wanwan looked at the Qian family in front, and said in a low voice, "Mother said that my father worked hard, so I want to keep it for my father."


    Then Zhao Wanwan didn''t know what she thought of, and fell silent. They walked fast, and just after noon when they arrived in the town, Li Fu went straight to the back of the east street in the town, where the yard Qian Laiwen rented was there.


    After arriving at the door, I could see that Qian was very nervous. Li Fu raised his hand and knocked on the door. No one responded for a long time. When they all suspected that there was no one inside, the man''s lazy voice came, "Who?"


    Li Fu glanced at Qian.


    Qian knows, "It''s me."


    After a while, the door opened.


    Then, Li Qinghe only saw one point, and Li Fu quickly blocked the door and said, "Qinghe, take Wanwan to the street and wait for us at the entrance of the town."


    Li Qinghe did not hesitate to pull Zhao Wanwan, who was flushed with red face, and turned and left. Even though Li Fu blocked it quickly, she took a look at it. The money communication was loose, with a half-naked body in her arms. The girl with heavy makeup is not from a serious family. It is not difficult to imagine what they were doing just now.


    Zhao Wanwan didn''t say a word until he reached West Street. Li Qinghe glanced at her and took her to the bun shop.


    When asked about the unique fragrance of meat buns, Zhao Wanwan raised her head, somewhat surprised and a little nervous, "Sister, I have no silver."


    "I have," Li Qinghe sat down with her, "I''ll treat you to eat."


    The lady at the bun shop brought up four buns and asked with a smile before leaving, "Have you ever worked in Xilai Restaurant?"


    Li Qinghe was a little surprised. Although this steamed bun was good, she hadn''t eaten it a few times. Naturally, she was not familiar with this aunt. She nodded and said, "Yes, but not anymore."


    The aunt didn¡¯t care what she said, and continued, ¡°That¡¯s right, the Sun¡¯s family in Zhendong, the grandfather of the Sun¡¯s family married a wife on the sixth day of the sixth year, and the chef found it, but she still needs a helper in the kitchen. It costs two days and half the money. silver."


    This is a good job. You have to know that Li Qinghe used to only make two dollars a month.


    Seeing Li Qinghe moving, the aunt smiled, "I will take you there when the time comes."


    She has had this bun shop since she can remember. Although she hasn''t been in a few times, the aunt has always been there, so there shouldn''t be a problem.


    "Can I go?" Zhao Wanwan said in a low voice, "I have been cooking at home since I was a child. If I dislike me with bad dishes, I can wash the dishes."


    Li Qinghe was a little surprised. The aunt next to her looked at her and nodded, "I need to wash the dishes, but only forty texts."


    Even so, Zhao Wanwan was also very happy, and she hurriedly agreed.


    "Sure enough, it''s better to find work in the town." She still sighed when she got out of the shop.


    Li Qinghe said suddenly, "Will your mother promise you to come out to help?"


    Zhao Wanwan froze with a smile, "You didn''t help for two years? She should agree..." At the end, she became uncertain.


    The two wandered around the town unhurriedly. Li Qinghe didn''t want to buy anything. She figured out how to make money, and her eyes swept around. Suddenly, Zhao Wanwan at the side dragged her, "Sister, over there is the Zhou family."


    Li Qinghe heard the words and looked over. He was really Zhou Chengkang''s eldest brother, not alone. He was carrying a burden, accompanied by a young woman.


    What makes people feel weird is that the woman''s hair is pulled up. Generally, only married women will pull up the hair like this.

 Chapter 11： Son-in-law

    An unmarried man and a married woman walked together. Seeing that the relationship between the two was not like an employer, Zhou Chengwen still talked to her with a smile on his face, which seemed weird.


    "Sister, the Zhou family eldest brother..." Zhao Wanwan frowned, "Will your relationship be affected?"


    Li Qinghe smiled and scratched her nose, "I am so young, I think a lot."


    Even in rural areas, there are rules. If Zhou Chengkang wants to get married, he has to take turns from his older brother. Besides, that person hasn''t expressed his mind until now. Why is he anxious?


    Li Qinghe is really not in a hurry. Although Qian wants to marry her, it is useless. No one can force her to do things she doesn''t want to do. "You still think about how to convince your mother to let you come out to help."


    Upon hearing this, Zhao Wanwan bitterly.


    The two turned around, Li Qinghe also bought a wooden hairpin for Zhao Wanwan, and Li Fu and Qian came over there, and their faces were not pretty.


    Qian seemed to be talking in a low voice. Li Fuai ignored it. When she got closer, she didn''t say anything. She looked at the wooden hairpin on Zhao Wanwan''s head and frowned. What''s the use of drinking?"


    Zhao Wanwan lowered her head, Li Qinghe was impatient, "I bought it."


    Qian choked.


    "Go home, what are you making?" Li Fu was also very impatient, and took the lead to walk home.


    Judging from his appearance, the silver should not have been recovered.


    There was also silence on the way back, Zhao Wanwan had something in her heart, and she secretly glanced at Qian''s face several times. When he could already see the big tree at the entrance of the village, Li Fu suddenly remembered something and turned around apologized, "Wanwan, sorry, I didn¡¯t take you on the street today, but I didn¡¯t have a good stroll. I will take you again when I have a chance. it is good?"


    Zhao Wanwan hurriedly refused, "No, my sister took me to turn." Looking at Li Fu''s apologetic eyes, she suddenly said, "When my sister and I walked to the bun shop today, the old lady recognized my sister and asked us to help. For the banquet of the Sun family, forty articles, dad, can I go?"


    "Go." Li Fu replied casually, and then told Li Qinghe, "You are optimistic about my sister."


    The Qian clan at the side hesitated to speak, but no one paid any attention. Their sights have all fallen under the big tree at the entrance of the village. Today¡¯s entrance seems to be a little different. The autumn harvest is now approaching. The weather is hot. There are many people who come to the village entrance every afternoon to take a break, all lazily holding homemade products in their hands. The brown leaf fan fanfeng chatted and relieved the boredom by the way, but today everyone gathered together.


    There was also a sharp woman''s voice, "The family is uneasy and kind, and the big guy judges. Since I gave birth to young crops and hurt my body, I have said to outsiders more than once that my young crops will be recruited in the future. Recently, I won¡¯t say anything. There were many brothers in Zhou¡¯s family, everyone knows, I thought Sister Zhou had a good idea, but I didn¡¯t expect the child to get better, but you didn¡¯t agree with it. This is just for fun. ?"


    It was Li Qinghe¡¯s aunt who was in the room next to Li Qinghe. She was quite close. There were the most Li family members in the village. Many people whispered to persuade her to speak in a low voice. , This marriage cannot happen!"


    Zhou''s mother was full of sorrow, and she seemed to be getting older at this time, shaking her head and murmured, "You can''t get married, his father won''t agree."


    Zhou Chengwu supported her and frowned, "Mother, do you want our family to become old bachelors?" After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Qingmiao''s mother Xu, "Auntie, Qingmiao told me this a long time ago, and I also agreed She became a parent, and you will be my parents from now on."


    Mother Zhou was anxious and stretched out and handed him, "Second, you can''t..."


    Zhou Chengwu looked at the Xu family, "Auntie, then that''s the deal."


    Everyone was whispering, saying everything.


    Li Fu stood on the outermost side and glanced at Li Qinghe upon hearing this, and scolded, "Go home."


    Li Qinghe didn''t refute this time, and turned to go home. She had asked Zhou Chengkang to send herself twice before, and someone was already watching it. If she stayed at this moment, the villagers should talk to her.


    Zhao Wanwan followed her closely, her face full of excitement, "Sister, Dad agreed, you will take me with you then."


    Li Qinghe responded casually. When he walked to the door, he saw that there was already a person standing there. It was the money that was full. Zhao Wanwan smiled and stepped forward, "Cousin is here?"


    He said he was a cousin, but he was only two months old. Qian Laiman''s eyes kept looking at Li Qinghe, "Qinghe, I have something to tell you."


    Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "Go ahead."


    She was frank, Qian Laiman squeezed and glanced at Zhao Wanwan. She quickly entered the door and went straight back to the room.


    Qian Laiman kicked the ground restlessly, saying quickly, "I want to marry you."


    "But I don''t want to marry." Li Qinghe rebuffed, giving him no hope, "I just marry, and I won''t marry you."


    Qian Laiman was not surprised. Li Qinghe had already rejected him before, "Is it because of my elder brother?"


    Li Qinghe entered the door, "it is part of the reason."


    After entering the door, she went straight back to the room. She was looking for a suitable dress for the ground. The pond over there must be cleared out as soon as possible. Zhao Wanwan came in lightly, "Sister, he is still outside when he comes to Man."


    Qian Laiman may have some thoughts about her, but the more so, the less he can''t go out, and the slimy hope that it is really bad for him. Besides, the daughter of a farmer rarely has a few chances to choose, and her reputation is best not to be involved with anyone.


    Later, Qian and Li Fu came back and invited money to come in. It took him dinner to let him go back.


    Li Qinghe didn''t even go out for dinner. She acted to express her resistance to the marriage. She did not forget that Li Fu was quite satisfied with him.


    When the people left, Li Qinghe went out to cook for himself in the kitchen. It was getting late, and he sat under the eaves to enjoy the coolness. Qian sighed, "I am really a good boy, but Qinghe didn''t agree."


    "Whatever she wants, she may be patient now." Li Fu''s voice hates iron and steel, "I was at the entrance of the village before, and my father asked me not to force her. I''m too naive, and the elderly can still bother with these things when they are old. they."


    Li Qinghe gnawed the steamed buns, a little surprised. He didn''t expect that the old man could not help looking for Li Fu.


    Qian was also very surprised. "Father?" Pauses and said, "Then you have to follow her meaning, it''s the Zhou family. Is this good for children? You have seen it at the entrance of the village, even if it is the second child of the Zhou family. , There are the boss and the third in front, and then she will be taken in turn, waiting until the year of the monkey!"

 Chapter 12： Meet again

    The brown-leaf fan in Li Fu''s hand shook, apparently furious. After a few slaps, he got up and went into the kitchen, and said to Li Qinghe, who was eating steamed buns, "You really want Zhou''s family? Don''t blame me for not reminding me. You, you have to wait over there, don¡¯t wait to become an old girl. Otherwise, just look at each other obediently, I¡¯m your father and won¡¯t hurt you."


    Li Qinghe might as well as Qian''s few words, Li Fu ran to her in a panic and couldn''t help but said, "The Zhou family never said that you want to marry me. Where did you hear it?"


    Looking across the wall, Li Qinghe frowned and said, "Father, I''m only fourteen, and I''m only fifteen after the Chinese New Year. There are 18 married people in the village. Are you so anxious to marry me?"


    Li Fu thought about it. He seemed to be anxious, but he naturally wouldn''t admit it in front of his daughter, "Then you shouldn''t be delayed. Getting up early will do you no harm."


    Li Qinghe shook her head, "I don''t want to marry now." She looked outside and asked in a low voice, "Father, is the money from Uncle Wanwan coming back?"


    Who wouldn''t make trouble.


    Qian didn''t want Li Fu to grab the money she had lent to talk about it. If she used her marriage as an example, she wouldn''t like to mention it again?


    Sure enough, Li Fu''s face turned black in an instant, and he shook his fan and went out. Soon, Qian''s low explanation voice sounded outside.


    Zhao Wanwan''s quail usually shrank in the house, and when she heard Qian''s crying, she didn''t show up at all.


    When Li Qinghe finished eating and went out, Qian was crying so sad that he couldn''t speak well with hiccups. Li Fuzheng comforted her.


    Sure enough, it was the woman who had fallen in love with him when he was a teenager. Even if he did something wrong, he couldn''t bear it as long as he cried.


    The next morning, Li Qinghe changed his shirt and carried a knife to the wasteland, planning to cut the grass on the edge of the pond first, and then go down to clean it. She used to do these tasks in the last life, but she forgot, now she is not used to it, but for half an hour, she was so tired that her waist and back hurt, and the palms of her hands were also aching. In the past two years, she had never worked as a helper in the town¡¯s kitchen. The ground, the hands are still delicate, and this work quickly formed blisters.


    She spread her hands, looked at the red palms, bent over and continued to chop, and when she raised her head again after a while, she found an old man standing not far in front of her. She was stunned, "Grandpa."


    The visitor was her grandfather, but it has been a long time since Li Fu wanted to marry the Qian family. The two elders moved to her uncle''s house and never went to Li Fu''s door.


    Li Kui nodded, stepped forward, and asked in a deep voice, "Listen to your third master, did you buy ten acres of land here?"


    Remembering that the old man ran to ask Li Fu not to force her to marry, Li Qinghe felt soft and pointed around, "This is the area. I want to clear the small pond to buy fry to raise fish."


    Li Kui was a little surprised, bending over to look at the pond, "Okay?"


    In fact, Li Qinghe had no idea, "If it works, you have to try it before you know."


    Li Kui nodded, bent over and started cutting a larger tree next to her, pointing to a small sapling next to her, and said, "This is a peach tree, don''t cut it down, save the sweetness of peaches in the future."


    Li Qinghe saw that he was cutting well, but he was not too young, and said, "Grandpa, I can do it myself."


    "I am moving my muscles and muscles and doing some work is good." Li Kui did not look up, and said, "When the girl is doing work, remember to wear a straw hat and don''t sunburn your face. It''s so dark and it''s not pretty." The tone is disgusting.


    The corners of Li Qinghe''s mouth couldn''t help but arouse, "I see."


    There is a spring in the pond. The spring water is sweet. You don¡¯t need to take the water. When it¡¯s time to eat, Li Qinghe threw down his knife and said, "Grandpa, I''ll get you food."


    "No." Li Kui said gruffly, "I won''t eat your family''s food. I will go home to eat later."


    I shouldn''t eat Li Fu''s rice.


    Sure enough, the meal came again, and when I returned home in dark, he said, "Tomorrow I will come again." No one can refuse.


    But that wouldn''t work. The old man came to help her with work, but went back to eat. Her elder mother should be upset. It was cut like this for two days, and the effect was gratifying, and most of it was cut out in one circle.


    It happened to be the big event. When Li Qinghe asked Zhou Chengkang to take someone to the town, he bought 20 catties of grain and sent it to Li Kui without taking it home.


    It was lunch time when the eldest mother Liu was preparing a meal. There was a big tree in their yard, and their lunch was placed on a stone table under the big tree. She said, "The weather is cold, and people seem to be hungry. Hurry up, the grain has been falling so fast recently, and there is still more than half a month before the autumn harvest. I don¡¯t know if I can make it through."


    Uncle Li Xingwang scolded her, "If you talk too much, you will never be hungry."


    Li Qinghe stepped into the yard at this time, carrying a rice bag in her hand, "Grandfather, milk, uncle, uncle, elder brother, Qingyuan." After calling them one by one, she put the bag at the kitchen door and smiled apologetically, "Grandpa Help me cut the tree, but it¡¯s not convenient for me to cook for him, so my aunt is bothering."


    Liu''s face was full of smiles, "Why is this so embarrassing?" He said so, but his hand was steady when he took the grain.


    Li Qinghe''s tone was soft, "You helped me, I should be embarrassed." For nothing else, the old man followed her to live, only begging her to be kind.


    Liu opened the bag, his eyes lit up, thinking of something, and said, "I heard that you want to clear the pond. Tomorrow, let your uncle and brother together. I will cook and send it. The pond is not big, and it will be almost two or three days."


    Li Qinghe was a little surprised, "Why is this so embarrassing?"


    "I''m not embarrassed either." The Liu family picked up the grain, "If you don''t take yours for nothing, then it''s a deal. I''ll take it in."


    The people at the table over there kept watching, and did not refute Liu''s words. Li Xingwang greeted her for dinner.


    It was really different if someone helped, but in three days, the pond had been cleared, the surrounding weeds were all cleaned up, and Li Qinghe was also preparing to introduce fry.


    She had thought about it a long time ago, other people don''t know about fish fry, the person who came to sell fish at the fair must know.


    However, before that, the Sun¡¯s family had to help the kitchen. On the fifth day of the fifth day, the sky just broke, and Li Qinghe called Zhao Wanwan to get up. It was still early, and the two of them left the village together and went to the town.


    Turning around a mountain col, Zhao Wanwan turned pale in fright when she heard the painful cry of a man in front of her, and she held her arm tightly. Seeing the people lying on the ground not far away, Li Qinghe was also a little nervous, and walked a few steps closer, seeing the blue long gown through the faint light of the sky, he felt familiar... Xu Changxie!


    The cyan gown was stained with blood, and he could only lay down on the ground and scream, and the traces of crawling could be seen from the side of the col, and he was beaten so badly. Who has offended this person?

 Chapter 13： fry

    The people lying on the ground finally found them and looked up.


    With a blood-stained face, bruised and swollen, Zhao Wanwan screamed and stepped back.


    Li Qinghe really recognized the person in front of him. It was really Xu Changjie. In the last life, the two of them shared the same bed several times. She used the moonlight to see his sleeping face more than once, even though his face was bloodstained now. It was indeed Xu Changjie who was right.


    "Sister, who is this?" Zhao Wanwan stood a few steps away, looked around and then came closer, clutching her arm tightly, "Shall we go home?"


    The dull young man''s voice sounded, "Help me..."


    "How do you want us to help you?" Li Qinghe was still calm.


    He took a few breaths, "Look for... the doctor..."


    "You are embarrassing me, I still have something to do." Li Qinghe looked at the sky, "Why don''t I help you call the Xu family?"


    Xu Changjie was silent, and said for a while, "Thank you."


    So the sisters turned around and returned to the village. Fortunately, they hadn¡¯t been very far when they came out. They were fast under their feet. After a quarter of an hour, the two of them had reached the door of Xu¡¯s house. They raised their hands and knocked on the yard door. Soon there was a woman¡¯s voice. Who is it?"


    Xu''s mother went out with her clothes. The sky was still dark, and she vaguely saw two slender girls standing at the door, "So early, what''s the matter?"


    Li Qinghe said immediately, "Auntie, just now my sister and I saw someone outside the village who was injured and couldn''t get up. Unexpectedly, we approached and found that the person was Young Master Xu. You can take a look."


    After speaking, she turned around and left. Xu Mu quickly opened the courtyard door, "Qinghe? What did you say, say it again!"


    Li Qinghe turned around and said seriously, "Master Xu was injured, and he was in the gully outside the village. He asked me to come back and call you. Our sister was going to help in the town. We will be too late if we are delayed. Let''s go ahead."


    The Xu family moved quickly, but with her few words, Xu''s father had already put on his clothes and went out to urge Xu''s mother, "Hurry up."


    The couple ran faster than Li Qinghe and they soon disappeared at the entrance of the village.


    The sisters delayed for a long time, and accelerated their speed. When they reached the gully again, they found that Xu Changjie was no longer there, and Xu''s father swiftly carried him to the town a little further ahead.


    Just so close all the way to the town, the sisters hurried to the bun shop, and the aunt of the bun shop was still selling buns. Seeing the two, she smiled and said, "I thought you two were not coming."


    "If you have anything, please delay." Li Qinghe stepped forward, "Do you want to help?"


    The aunt was surprised, and quickly reacted, "No, the Sun family is waiting, I will take you over."


    On the East Street of Luoyue Town, ordinary people hardly came. Zhao Wanwan held her arm nervously along the way. The aunt led them into the back door of Sun''s house soon, and then the servants took them to the university. kitchen.


    At this time the sky was just getting bright, and the big kitchen was already busy. Seeing three of them, a fat steward in his forties asked, "What will happen?"


    The aunt answered, he quickly arranged for Li Qinghe and the aunt to cut the meat, and Zhao Wanwan to wash the vegetables.


    Then there was a huge pile of meat piled up in front of the two of them. The aunty moved quickly, and after seeing Li Qinghe¡¯s neat movements, she didn¡¯t feel idle, ¡°That¡¯s my cousin, who often helps the cook find someone to help you. If you are willing, I will bring you here in the future."


    Li Qinghe thanked him with a smile, and the tone of the auntie again talked about which one in the town she knew, and listening to what she meant, most of the people were familiar with her.


    Hearing Li Qinghe''s heart moved, he asked, "Do you know the uncle who sells fish?"


    "I know." The aunt replied casually, "He lives in Liucun, and he goes to the county town on the first day of every fair. He sells fish once every fair. Don''t look at his life. It''s actually very profitable, but most people don''t have that big capital. There is a way to transport the fish, if they are all dead, they will be smashed in the hands."


    It means that the business is not easy to do, and the fish will probably die if it is not transported. Li Qinghe thoughtfully, "Then can I ask him to buy fry?"


    "You want to raise fish?" The auntie was surprised, "That thing is not easy to raise, right? If you die, you will lose money."


    Sure enough, it is a business, and the three words are not without a loss.


    "I want to try." Li Qinghe looked at her and said seriously, "Can you help me introduce it?"


    "Yes." The auntie looked at her, "Your girl''s family wants to raise fish, does your family agree?"


    "Yes." Li Qinghe said with a smile, "Do you know Zhangjia Cloth Village? My mother''s name is Xu."


    There are many people who know about Zhang''s and Xu''s affairs. After all, the matter of accepting a nurse as a concubine has been a rare event even in the past ten years. The aunt was startled, and quickly reacted, "Poor see, how do your father and stepmother treat you?"


    Li Qinghe replied casually, "They don''t care about me." In fact, they don''t care.


    "Okay, wrap me up. When the fish is raised, remember to give me one." The last sentence was completely joking.


    From morning to afternoon, except during meal time, he basically cut all kinds of meat and vegetables. When he finished cutting, Li Qinghe''s arms were sour and hard to lift up. And I can¡¯t go back tonight, because they will have a banquet at noon the next day. They got up to help in the middle of the night. The work was fairly well paid and very tired. When they came out of Sun¡¯s house the next afternoon, Li Qinghe¡¯s hands were completely Can''t lift it up, Zhao Wanwan soaked her hands miserably, pinching the purse around her waist, very excited, "Sister, I want to buy a bun to eat."


    The auntie smiled, "No need to buy, I will give it to you."


    Zhao Wanwan was pleasantly surprised, and she was busy thanking her.


    Arranged a good time with the aunt, the sisters were going to go home. When they walked to the entrance of the town, the Xu family found an ox cart to take Xu Changjie home. Yang Lanrou was supported by a maid with red eyes and she wiped tears at Xu Changjie on the ox cart.


    It''s really not shy at all.


    When Xu''s mother saw the sisters, as if she didn''t see them, Li Qinghe didn''t mean to go up there, and took Zhao Wanwan to leave first.


    Zhao Wanwan whispered, "Master Xu seems to be seriously injured. He has been unable to get up for two days. I don''t know who has offended them, whether they have reported to the officials. This road is very dangerous. If we come again in the future, we will have to Be careful." After a pause, he continued, "The girl is pleased with Young Master Xu, she will never give up if she is injured."


    She has a quiet temperament in the past, so twittering should have made some money.


    Not long after we walked, there was an ox cart at the back, and stopped next to the sisters. Mother Xu''s face was haggard and said to them, "Come on, let''s take you for a ride. The ox cart is faster."


    Xu Changjie in the bullock cart closed his eyes, his face was full of bruises, and he could hardly see the handsomeness he once was.


    "No need." Li Qinghe rebuffed.

 Chapter 14： Independence

    Zhao Wanwan has always been silent on these matters. After Li Qinghe flatly refused, Xu''s mother still did not give up, "I haven''t thanked you for what happened yesterday morning. It should be a journey to see you."


    "No need." Li Qinghe refused again. She has a cold face, and she refuses others.


    Xu''s father became impatient, "We have to go back earlier, this bullock cart is too hard, Chang Jie''s legs can''t stand it."


    Watching the bullock cart go away, Zhao Wanwan whispered on the side, "Sister, are you really giving up on Xu Gongzi?"


    Hearing this, Li Qinghe was curious, "Why do you think I have thoughts about Young Master Xu?"


    "Then you did your best to save him." Zhao Wanwan took it for granted.


    Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "Then I asked the Xu family for ten taels of silver? Besides, why don''t you talk about me and the fourth brother of the Zhou family?"


    Zhao Wanwan said casually, "Twelve taels of silver, if you are willing to marry the Xu family, you don''t have to change your left hand to the right. It is the same as asking for a betrothal gift. If you want to come over, you will have two people. As for the fourth brother of the Zhou family..." I don¡¯t seem to come to you anymore."


    Li Qinghe had discovered it a long time ago, and Chengkang didn''t know why this week. When she first came back, he couldn''t wait to run eight times a day. Since she bought the wasteland, it seemed that she couldn''t see people.


    If he changed his mind, Li Qinghe didn¡¯t believe it. Others didn¡¯t know it. But she knew that Zhou Chengkang had guarded her tombstone in her previous life and never married, so she set up a thatched house to live next to her. It didn¡¯t make sense for her to shrink back before marrying him. .


    While talking, the two sisters had already arrived at the entrance of the village. When they returned home, Qian was preparing dinner. He saw the sisters coming in, not looking at Li Qinghe, and told Zhao Wanwan, "Come in and serve food."


    Zhao Wanwan went into the kitchen as soon as she lowered her head. Li Qinghe went straight back to the room and put her money away. When she went out, she heard Qian''s curse in the kitchen, "You **** girl, I''m doing it for your own good. You said your little girl pinched What are you doing with the money? Be careful to cheat people."


    When Li Qinghe arrived at the kitchen door, he saw Zhao Wanwan firmly clutching her chest. Her copper plate should have been placed there. Qian scolded with a serious face, "I am your mother. I don¡¯t have any other children. I can still ignorant of your money? If you didn¡¯t fall from me, I wouldn¡¯t bother to care about you. Qinghe has so much money. , Do you think I asked?"


    "Do you want to eat?" Li Qinghe asked leisurely with her arms around her chest.


    Qian didn''t know when Li Qinghe came. After raising his eyes to see her, he hurriedly suppressed the anger on his face, "It''s coming."


    In fact, Li Qinghe is not hungry, but if he doesn¡¯t eat, he might be hungry for a while at night. The family sat at the table in silence. Qian handed a bun to Li Fu, and said, ¡°The food has been put out so fast these days, I¡¯m afraid I might not be able to pick it up. on."


    Thinking of something else, I looked at Li Qinghe and asked, "I heard that you bought food to honor your aunt?"


    Li Qinghe puts down his chopsticks and wants to have a good theory with her. Li Fu has already reprimanded, "I won''t be hungry, and I can''t stop your mouth when I eat? My parents live there. By the way, we don¡¯t have to deliver food. What happened to Qinghe¡¯s delivery? What did Yin and Yang do so strangely? You didn¡¯t honor them for a day after you walked in!"


    It is rare that Li Fu actually became angry with Qian this time.


    Inexplicably happy, Li Qinghe should explain clearly, "I gave food because my grandpa helped me cut the grass. Auntie also confiscated the food in vain. The whole family helped me clean the pond for two days, even milk. They all helped with the cooking." It wasn''t for nothing.


    Qian did not listen to her, and his eyes turned red against Li Fu, "Is that because I don''t want to honor the elderly? They don''t like me. If they didn''t want to offer the offer, how could I and you miss it for so many years? Now that the people in the village look down on it? Besides, when I came out of Zhao¡¯s family, my parents helped me re-speak for kisses. I insisted... I knew that I would remarry according to my parents¡¯ meaning and save you. Blame me now!"


    Speaking of later, I stopped eating and just cried.


    "In front of the child, what do you say about this?" Although Li Fu still rebuked him, he had already softened, "I didn''t blame you, my parents should send some food there."


    "Then I didn''t say that I shouldn''t." Qian was very aggrieved. "If I just say a word, you will kill me."


    Li Qinghe tore the steamed bun, put some vegetables in it, squeezed the steamed bun and got up and went out. Not only could she not eat it, but she was also nauseous.


    If a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl cried so much that the pear blossoms rained, it would be pitiful, and this thirty-year-old woman in a commoner was crying while holding her throat, that would be totally different.


    After being exhausted these two days, she went to bed after returning to her room. When she got up the next morning, Qian was well, and she went to the field to see the crops with Li Fu. In the kitchen, Zhao Wanwan was making breakfast. Said, "Sister, if you didn''t come in yesterday, my copper plate would definitely be taken away by my mother."


    Li Qinghe glanced at her, picked up a knife next to her and started cutting vegetables, and said casually, "You didn''t give it yesterday. It''s hard to guarantee that she won''t ask again."


    Zhao Wanwan panicked, "Sister, what should I do?"


    Li Qinghe smiled, "You think it yourself." In the final analysis, you still have to learn to refuse. She was not familiar with Zhao Wanwan in her previous life. She was hardworking but timid, and she never saw it again after she married in town.


    However, as far as the two people get along, it is true that Zhao Wanwan is timid, but not stupid.


    Zhao Wanwan was silent a lot. The sisters were preparing food and they were preparing them. Many people passed by to the west of the village. Li Qinghe saw Xu and asked with a smile, "Auntie, where are you going in such a hurry?"


    When Xu saw her, he kept walking under his feet, and said quickly, "Someone is coming to trouble Zhou''s family, let me see!"


    Zhou family?


    Seeing that she is so anxious, it should have something to do with her, and remembering that her daughter Qing Miao and Zhou Chengwu had verbally agreed on the marriage, Li Qinghe frowned, straightened up the sleeves, and faced the food. Zhao Wanwan said, "You don''t have to wait for me to eat, I''ll take a look."


    The Zhou family¡¯s house is the same as the surrounding houses. The yard is very large. At this time, the empty yard is full of people. Most of them are from the village. The middle one is a group of people from outside the village. Holding sticks and other things, the visitor was unkind at first sight, and the headed woman yelled, "Let the Zhou family come out."


    The woman still did not forget to explain to the more and more people around her, "We are reasonable people, and we will not quarrel and make troubles in our leisure time, but the Zhou family will not do personnel affairs! We only ask them to reason, not fight!"

 Chapter 15： Thoughts

    There seemed to be no one in the Zhou family house. So many people stood in the yard and no one appeared. The people present were quite familiar with the Zhou family, but they were very unfamiliar with these people who came to the door with a **** and threatened to make sense. Someone asked, "What did the Zhou family do?"


    The woman sneered, "What did you do? The Zhou family boss had a bad intention and hooked up with my daughter-in-law, and was seen more than once, and I brought my personal testimony."


    Everyone was quiet for a moment, then whispered, and then their voices grew louder and louder. Many people said that they had seen Zhou''s boss and a woman dressed up close.


    When someone said this, the woman became more confident, "Yes, so you said, did the Zhou family do this thing right?"


    "Then you can''t make trouble like this." The village head finally came, panting, "If you have something to say, don''t take these things. Seeing that the autumn harvest is about to happen, it is not good for anyone to hurt. Zhou''s family is not here, so take a rest Don''t be irritable."


    "That won''t work, you hand over the people." The mother-in-law waved strongly, "Can''t he hide and let you send me. Anyway, if I don''t see anyone today, I won''t leave!"


    As she said, she sat down on the ground, in a posture of sitting on the ground, and the people holding the **** by the side also yelled for everyone to hand in.


    Everyone was dumb and couldn''t persuade, Li Qingmiao''s mother Xu''s complexion was very ugly, and Li Qingmiao beside her looked worried.


    Someone asked, "Mother, is your son here?"


    Hearing this, the aunt¡¯s tears came out in an instant, ¡°My hard-failed son was killed by that Zengmen Xingke. I didn¡¯t expect that he had just been there for less than a year, and she hooked up with the Zhou family boss again. Really... after knowing this, I can¡¯t eat, I can¡¯t sleep, I really want to accompany my hard-working son."


    Everyone suddenly realized that they were a widow, so it is not difficult to understand. That¡¯s right, no matter how ignorant the Zhou family¡¯s boss is, no matter how difficult it is to get married, he will not reach the point of hooking up with a married woman.


    However, this is Wangcun. The Zhou family has lived here for many years. There are many people who have known each other. Someone immediately persuaded, "Auntie, this is your fault. If the widow remarries, that''s what the yamen approve. You can''t do this."


    "What do you know?" The auntie was angrily, "Zhou has a bad family spirit. My daughter-in-law promised to raise me before my son''s grave. Besides, she can make tofu. Don¡¯t believe him, Boss Zhou has no desire to covet prescriptions."


    As a result, everyone really didn''t know how to persuade them. Fortunately, at this moment, Zhou Chengwen hurried into the yard, saw the woman in the middle, and hurriedly said, "Auntie, you..."


    "Well, you bastard, you finally showed up!" The aunty grunted up and raised her hand to fight. Zhou Chengwen raised her hand to block, and said hurriedly, "Auntie, I have discussed with Fangcao, and we will give you the end of life together in the future!"


    The auntie had grabbed the **** from the man on the edge, and she was about to knock him on the head, but she stopped and said, "Really!"


    "In front of so many people, naturally take it seriously!" Zhou Chengwen said earnestly, "If you don''t believe me, I swear to God! If I don''t give Aunt Liu the end of her life in the future, the sky will be struck by lightning!"


    Aunt Liu was stunned. After reacting, she glanced at the people around her, put down her hoe, waved her hand and said, "Quick, go, we have something to discuss."


    When Zhou''s mother heard about an accident at home, she hurriedly dared to return from the ground. As soon as she walked to the door, she heard her son''s oath. She softened and slowly slid on the ground leaning against the fence.


    Everyone was stunned by this turning point. When they turned around, they saw the blank face of Zhou''s mother at the door. Xu came forward, "Her aunt, you are..."


    Mother Zhou sighed, "I''m fine."


    The Xu family doesn¡¯t matter. In the final analysis, Zhou¡¯s second child is a patriarch, and will move to her house when the time comes. As a relative, it¡¯s enough for everyone to help each other out. , It has nothing to do with her even if she is a parent.


    In fact, it still matters. If the Zhou family''s boss goes well, even if he marries a widow, that would be considered a solution to the marriage, and the young crops will soon be in turn. Thinking about it this way, it¡¯s still a good thing for her, and now a smile appeared on her face, "Her aunt, you have to relax, this is also a happy event?" Approaching her lowered her voice, "You are like this, if someone else What if I don¡¯t agree?"


    The wrinkles on Zhou''s mother''s face suddenly deepened, and I had to admit that Xu was telling the truth. Even if she was a widow, she might not be able to agree... It was only when she knew the fact that she couldn''t figure it out.


    Li Qinghe walked out with the crowd, he was in front when he was looking, and he fell behind when he left, and he saw Zhou Chengkang hurried back when he went out.


    Seeing the door of the house and seeing everyone walking out from a distance, Zhou Chengkang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn''t make a fuss to prove that the matter was not big. He greeted everyone and he was about to enter the door. He raised his eyes and met Li Qinghe who came out of the yard. .


    His eyes suddenly filled with a soft smile, and his tone was full of surprises, "Qinghe..."


    Seeing him like this, Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "What have you done recently? You feel so busy."


    "I recently..." He paused, as if there was something to say, "I''ll be free after a while. I heard that you are in the clearing pond. I will definitely help you when I am free."


    "No need." Li Qinghe refused, "It''s cleared." After speaking, he stepped home.


    "Qinghe, I have something to tell you." Zhou Chengkang''s voice sounded behind him.


    Li Qinghe ignored it, and seriously speaking, there was no relationship between the two, and Zhou Chengkang did not show her any thoughts. Anyway, it will be for a lifetime. Who is worried!


    Zhou Chengkang looked at her without turning his head back, he was so flustered, he caught up with him a few steps, "Qinghe, I have been to the county a few times recently."


    "What are you going to do?" Li Qinghe was curious, the farmers would not think about going to the county town on weekdays, and they couldn''t afford those things.


    Zhou Chengkang''s eyes wandered, and his voice was a little weak. "I went to the fish pond to help people do part-time jobs and feed the fish."


    Li Qinghe looked at him, and the heart-cracking and crying situation of him lying in front of the tombstone in his previous life seemed to reappear in front of him. My heart is complicated and unspeakable, sour and swollen, and my eyes are sore. I can¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What do you learn? Help me raise fish? What if I don¡¯t ask you?


    "You don''t need to ask, I am willing to help myself." Zhou Chengkang was a little anxious.

 Chapter 16： Give Way

    Li Qinghe watched him not speak, and then asked for a long while, "You said that a man and an unmarried woman are unmarried, and you don''t need to pay for my work. Is this trying to ruin my reputation?"


    "No!" Zhou Chengkang looked at her, "I want to marry you, too."


    Li Qinghe was happy, and looked at Zhou''s mother who was hit hard and grudgingly smiled and greeted Aunt Liu, "Are you sure?"


    "OK." Zhou Chengkang said earnestly, "Although I am a little poor now, I can hunt. Don''t worry, I will never leave you hungry."


    After the death of Li Qinghe in his previous life, Zhou Chengkang moved to the mountain alone to live in school.


    The smile at the corner of Li Qinghe''s mouth couldn''t hide, "Tomorrow, I''m going to Liucun to find a fish seller to buy fry."


    "I''ll accompany you." Zhou Chengkang responded quickly.


    This attitude is still okay, Li Qinghe turned around and went home, leaving a sentence, "Go back, tomorrow morning."


    Zhou Chengkang responded briskly behind him, and his steps into the yard became lighter.


    Qian did not go to Zhou''s house, but he heard about the cause and effect. He sighed when he saw Li Qinghe enter the door. "I said that Zhou''s family has a lot of things. It''s too late to regret it now. I came to Manchuria. Yesterday, I decided a marriage. The daughter of Tang Xiucai in the village."


    Li Qinghe laughed. It''s normal for money to be full. The girl she likes is not willing to be married to herself, and will not delay his marriage. It is very abnormal to be lonely like Zhou Chengkang.


    She didn''t care, turned and went into the kitchen. Zhao Wanwan was carefully cutting vegetables with her head down. She moved quickly when she saw her enter the door and whispered, "Just now, my aunt came and showed off my cousin and fiancee. on purpose."


    Li Qinghe was speechless, helping cooking, Zhao Wanwan approached her again, "Sister, are you going to Liucun tomorrow?"


    "Go, buy fry." Li Qinghe answered calmly.


    There was some envy in Zhao Wanwan''s eyes, "If only I could buy a piece of land by myself like you. I can do whatever I want, and my parents can''t control you."


    They couldn''t control Li Qinghe not because of the land, but because of her own stubbornness and disobedience, and Li Fu could do nothing about her.


    Li Qinghe glanced at her, "I got my life in exchange for it." She didn''t forget that the girl wanted to turn around and go home when she saw a man lying on her stomach, let alone rushed up when she encountered a gangster.


    Zhao Wanwan said silently, "My mother asked me for the copper plate again, but I didn''t give it to her."


    Considered progress.


    The next morning, Li Qinghe and Zhou Chengkang took a carriage to the town to pick up the aunt, and then went to Liucun. The journey went smoothly. Except for the higher price of fish fry, five hundred fry cost five taels of silver, and eight taels at the beginning. Anyhow, it''s cheaper.


    Li Qinghe didn''t have enough silver on her body. It was only two or two for a full play. It was all her savings since she bought the land. She originally planned to buy less, but Zhou Chengkang next to him agreed.


    On the way back, Li Qinghe said, "I don''t have that many."


    "I have some here, give you first." Zhou Chengkang answered casually.


    Li Qinghe sat next to him, looking at the familiar scenery on the roadside and swept back, "I can''t take your money."


    "We don''t have to make the distinction so clearly." Zhou Chengkang''s voice was distorted in the wind.


    The two rushed for a long time. It was already afternoon when Li Qinghe arrived home. In the yard, Li Fu and Qian were sitting together and joking. Seeing her enter the door, Li Fu smiled and said, "Qinghe, come, I have something to tell you. ."


    Seeing the gentle smile on Qian''s face on the side, Li Qinghe suddenly became alert. This must be no good.


    "There is a family named Hu in the town, there is a yard in the town, and there are five acres of land in Liucun. The son of that family is 18 this year, and he looks good, and he is still a scholar..."


    Listening to Li Fu explaining one by one, Li Qinghe had a bad feeling, "Father, what are you talking about?"


    "Talk about your relatives." Li Fu looked serious. "This is different from the Qian family. You have to think about it carefully, and they have said that the Hu family sister can find a restaurant helper for the same work as your original salary. This door I think the marriage is quite good. The mother and child depend on each other for life. The relationship is simple. After you marry, you don¡¯t need to work in the wind and sun. If the Hu family¡¯s children have better reading talents, maybe you can make a talented lady..."


    Li Qinghe interrupted him, and the fox questioned, "How did you know such a good person?"


    Qian accepted the words gently, "It''s your uncle. That person and him are the most powerful of his classmates. The master often praises him for his talents, and it''s a matter of being a talent."


    Hearing that it was because of the money, Li Qinghe refused without even thinking about it, "No need to think about it, I won''t agree to this marriage."


    Li Fu frowned, "I know you don''t like Qian''s family, but this time it''s really good. Hu''s family came today. I also watched that young man. He is a very decent and gentle person. I am your father. , Can I still harm you?"


    Speaking of later, seeing her not getting in, she was already faintly angry.


    Qian hurriedly stopped, "Don''t be angry. Qinghe is not happy. It just happens to be the fourteenth year of the New Year this year. It''s appropriate to say it."


    Li Qinghe looked at Qian in surprise, and then at Zhao Wanwan over there. Seeing her lowered her head and said nothing, she seemed to have some unnatural blushes on her cheeks.


    Suddenly, she vaguely remembered that Zhao Wanwan did marry to the town in her previous life. It seemed that she had the surname Hu, and most of them belonged to this family.


    She thought about it carefully. Zhao Wanwan basically never came back since she got married, and she didn''t know if she was doing well.


    Many things in this life have changed. For example, Xu Changjie was injured again. For example, she took Zhao Wanwan to work in the town. I didn¡¯t expect that this marriage would still not change. Forget it, the marriage made by others, the most important thing is that Zhao Wanwan herself did not refuse. Need to come out.


    Li Fu frowned and thought for a while, "Qing He is my sister."


    Qian''s hands were spread out, his voice soft, "But Qinghe doesn''t agree, don''t let the old man know again at that time, it''s time to come and reprimand you for persecuting her."


    "Whatever you want." Li Fu dropped a word to Li Qinghe, got up and went to the backyard.


    When Li Qinghe passed by the Qian family, she heard her whisper softly, "You are my sister, I am very optimistic about this marriage. Since you don''t agree, you should quickly find another marriage and make a decision. Don''t delay it."


    Li Qinghe sneered, "I said, this is my home, I don''t want to leave, no one can force me to leave! If you don''t believe me, try!"


    Why should her family make way for Zhao Wanwan?

 Chapter 17： discuss

    After Li Qinghe finished speaking, he glanced at the silent Zhao Wanwan over there, ignoring the frustrated Qian behind him, and walked in by himself.


    After entering the door, it suddenly occurred to me that I hadn''t eaten yet, so I went to the kitchen and steamed the buns again. They were doing it. Zhao Wanwan came in, "Sister, I will help you."


    Li Qinghe glanced at her, "Do you want to marry?"


    "When the girl is older, don''t you have to marry?" Zhao Wanwan was a little dazed, "Hu''s family is pretty good, sister, do you know, what I admired most was your work, you can get money every month, or keep it by yourself ." She bowed her head and lit the fire into the stove. "I think this is the closest I have ever been to this job. I really don''t want to let this opportunity pass."


    After all, this still means she wants her to make a marriage earlier. Li Qinghe is not going to be lost. She herself doesn''t have much feelings for Zhao Wanwan. She just helped her a few times. Besides, most of the people living in the world are selfish.


    Li Qinghe was silent and cut vegetables, ignoring her.


    Zhao Wanwan couldn''t wait for her to answer for a long time, and tentatively asked, "Sister, are you angry with me?"


    "Not so much." Li Qinghe said casually, "but it''s too early to make a kiss. It''s the same whether you urge or not."


    Zhao Wanwan was disappointed, "I know you and Zhou''s fourth brother... can''t you urge him for me?" After a pause, he said, "If you want me to say, he disappeared for several days. Don¡¯t rush to make a kiss. Sister, you don¡¯t need to just wait for him. My cousin was pretty good earlier, he has craftsmanship, and has a heart for you."


    Li Qinghe was too lazy to listen to this. When the buns were ready, she took the dishes and went back to the room.


    Zhao Wanwan said that Zhou Chengkang was not conscious of her. After all, this is a fact, but she boasted that Li Qinghe personally refused to pay the full amount of money, which is very irritating. Besides, she is already married now. Let¡¯s talk about this. So, are you sure it wasn''t intentional?


    She went to the pond to cut grass for two more days, and Li Kui was still helping her to compact the soil on the edge of the pond.


    Two days later, she went to town in Zhou Chengkang''s carriage early in the morning and picked up the fry today.


    Sure enough, I often transport fish. The two large barrels of fry can only be seen with a few white belly. "You take it back and don¡¯t get bored. Hurry up and put it in the water. When I transported it, I asked for five hundred and fifty. No one died. Ten, even five hundred."


    It was quite refreshing. Li Qinghe paid the silver. There was Zhou Chengkang''s three taels of silver. The two of them did not delay anymore. They picked up the fry and got on the carriage back to the village, but in two quarters, the fry had been placed in the pond.


    Looking at the faintly visible little fish in the water, Li Qinghe let go of his heart slightly, it was different from his previous life.


    She looked at the pond, but Zhou Chengkang looked at her, and tentatively asked, "I heard that your sister is going to be married?"


    Li Qinghe casually said, "I don''t know."


    Zhou Chengkang opened her mouth, wanting to ask why she didn''t tell her, but she felt that it was really difficult to ask, after all, she didn''t even hear her talk about dating herself. After a while, he said, "If she decides to kiss first, your position will be awkward."


    Li Qinghe raised his eyes to look at him, "I don''t think it myself."


    Zhou Chengkang felt complicated and unspeakable, and suddenly said, "Would you like us to make a marriage?"


    I felt abrupt when the words were being spoken, so I was too busy to open my eyes, Yu Guang secretly looked at her expression in a panic.


    Li Qinghe didn''t seem to be aware of the general, and casually said, "You haven''t hired a matchmaker, how do you make a match?"


    Zhou Chengkang''s face changed, he was startled at first, and then full of surprise, "If I find a matchmaker, will you agree?"


    Li Qinghe glanced at him, "I didn''t even look for it. Ask me this... and again, what should I do with your third brother?"


    At present, they are all in order, especially in marriage. That''s why he said earlier that if Zhao Wanwan was her sister, she would be embarrassed here.


    The difficulty of the Zhou family is not only not finding a wife, but also a house. Now they can barely live in the three houses in their family, but after getting married...everyone has one house, and now those few cannot be separated.


    Zhou Chengkang picked up the fish food brought back from the side and poured it into the water, "I will find a way. Also, I have something to do these days, I will teach you to feed the fish later..."


    "You want to enter the mountain?" Li Qinghe frowned.


    Zhou Chengkang was silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.


    Seeing him like this, Li Qinghe was in a bad mood, "There are many ways to make money. You have to choose the most dangerous one. If something happens to you, I won''t wait for you."


    Zhou Cheng looked cautious, "I will be careful."


    Li Qinghe is indeed tight. She thought about it carefully, "Should we think of some ways to make money?"


    With a heavy heart, Zhou Chengkang rejoiced at the "we" she said, "What way?"


    She said in an ordinary tone, "Make something delicious and sell it in the town. It should work. We will go to town tomorrow. We will harvest the autumn in a few days. You will not be free at that time."


    Let him pick him up, she didn''t even think about avoiding it. It also made Zhou Chengkang secretly determined and quickly earned the money to make a marriage decision. Even if they were not married, after the two were established, no one would talk nonsense about the two people. As far as he knew, many people in the village now know that the two are dating. Close, there is not no secretly talking about it, no matter how close, it will damage her reputation.


    The two of them fed the fish, and then they went back to the village without seeing any fish turning up for half an hour.


    When he arrived at the door of Zhou''s house, Li Qinghe said goodbye to him. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Zhou''s mother howling, "You are trying to kill me..."


    Zhou Chengkang''s expression changed and he opened the door and rushed in.


    Li Qinghe was puzzled. The next moment he heard the voice of Zhou Chengcai, the third elder of the Zhou family, with a question in his tone, "Mother, I want to marry her. Although the bride price is a bit high, you can get it. Why don''t you agree to it? ?"

 Chapter 18： Surprised

    "But these are your brothers, and Wu''er''s dowry. You took them all. What will your brothers do?" Zhou Mu''s voice was full of despair, "If you get married, this house is not enough to live in. It may not be enough to repair the house here."


    Li Qinghe left when he heard this. It was said that one of Zhou''s family was a hard labor, so life shouldn''t be sad.


    But it¡¯s said that half-and-half children eat up Lao Tzu. If there are too many people, they will eat a lot. The food recovered from other people¡¯s homes can be eaten until April and May, and better ones can be eaten until June and July. , But the Zhou family...years ago could eat up the food. After the Zhou brothers were a little older, they went out to find work to fool their stomachs, and they barely made it through. Later, Zhou''s father was ill for a long time and completely emptied his family. I have paid off my debts in the past two years, and Zhou''s mother has the silver, which should not be much.


    Therefore, when villagers mentioned Zhou''s family, their first reaction was poverty.


    Li Qinghe returned home. Li Fu was sharpening his knife in the yard. He saw her coming in, "You bought the fry?"


    Li Qinghe said, "put it in."


    Seeing that she was absent-minded, Li Fu continued, "Fish farming is indeed good, but you have to watch carefully and don''t let your money drift. After the Mid-Autumn Festival harvest two days later, you will help cooking, okay?"


    "Yes." Li Qinghe responded. She lives at home and is still willing to help with something.


    Hearing this, Li Fu''s expression softened, "Wanwan''s marriage, I want to make it as soon as possible. It''s not that I have to force you, but that someone from the Hu family seems to be in contact. This marriage is very good, although Wanwan is not. I was born with me, but I have raised it for nearly ten years, and I still hope her will be good. Besides, I think you are also good to her...Anyway, you have chosen the Zhou family, can you hurry?"


    "No." Li Qinghe was a little annoyed. "How about the brothers over there, every one of them will come down to the bride and groom not to be young or old, so what''s the hurry."


    Li Fu was annoyed, "Then I don''t agree to Zhou''s family, it''s you who have to plunge in. Such a poor family, everyone can''t avoid it, you are stupid."


    Li Qinghe is silent. She is indeed stupid, but she just wants a pure affection. Most men are like money. Even if they are interested in her, they will change their goals if they find something impossible. In this world, there is only one Zhou Chengkang who is willing Guarding her wholeheartedly, even if she is no longer there. She has no reason to extrapolate such feelings.


    "Don''t rush." ??Li Qinghe entered the kitchen, "the rush is useless. The Hu family can''t help you with the autumn harvest. Are you going to make a decision before the autumn harvest?"


    This time Li Fu was silent.


    For the country folks, after the two families decided on their marriage, as the son-in-law, she really wanted to help the Yue family. Li Fu urged her, and it might not be for this reason. Many people talk to their children about marriage, after the autumn harvest, when the grain comes into the warehouse, the family is not busy. Secondly, just to avoid this life.


    Of course, many people rush to make arrangements before the autumn harvest to show their sincerity.


    The next morning, news broke from the Zhou family that the boss of the Zhou family found a matchmaker to go to Liucun and made a marriage with him. Maybe because it was a second marriage, the wedding date was set for next month.


    Immediately after the afternoon, the marriage of Zhou''s second child and Li Qingmiao was also decided. In the evening, the third daughter of the Zhou family and the third daughter of the Zhang family in the town also made an appointment.


    The Zhou family group of brothers, who are easy to bachelor at a glance, has set three people in one day. Not to mention Wangcun, even in the whole town, they are very strange. Zhou Mu is definitely the fastest mother-in-law, and there is no one.


    With this kind of news, even if they saw Li Qinghe running to feed the fish in the wasteland, everyone was curious and threw them aside, talking about the three daughters-in-law of the Zhou family with great interest.


    By the next day, everyone suddenly remembered that Li Qinghe had bought the wasteland on the other side of Xishan, and he bought ten acres at once, and a large area was wiped out.


    Many people are heartbroken, but it''s a dozen taels of silver. If you don''t do anything wrong, the house can be made decent. But I heard that her own name was written there. What does this mean?


    Explain that whoever marries her will get ten mu of land for nothing!


    Although it is a wasteland, it also has ten acres. Besides, the pond inside has been fed with fish. Two or three days have passed. The little fish is still alive, and it is very likely that it will grow up smoothly.


    This is all silver!


    For a time, many people inquired about Li Qinghe''s relationship with Qian and Li Fu in secret. Li Futui said that he was not in a hurry, and Qian''s side would not be able to take the trouble, but he knew one thing, Li Fu did not intend to swallow his daughter''s land.


    These people became more and more interested, and ran to Li Xingwang to inquire.


    This is more than that. On the way to feed the fish in the morning and evening, Li Qinghe will encounter young people who didn''t know him before, and greet her with a familiar appearance.


    Unexpectedly, this ten acres of wasteland could still have such a big reaction. Looking at the dark and honest young man asking her for directions in front of him, Li Qinghe was lost in thought. Did she underestimate the attraction of this land to farmers?


    "Girl, do you know this family?" The young man was a little nervous, "I''m not a bad guy, I''m from Shancun over there. My aunt has been married here for many years and my surname is Li. By the way, my cousin is Qingyu."


    Li Qingyu, who counts as cousins ??with Li Qinghe, lives not far from her house, "Go straight here and see a jujube tree in the yard. This is her house."


    "Thank you." The young man smiled honestly, "But I don''t know the jujube tree, can you take me there? Thank you."


    Does the farmer know the jujube tree?


    Li Qinghe was surprised, and suddenly felt that she was misleading. This person is not honest at all. Isn¡¯t that good? He was about to say that there were not many people who used to have trees in the yard to ask. A familiar man¡¯s voice came from behind, "I will take you. It can also take you around the village a few times."


    The honest man looked stunned, "Who are you?"


    "Don''t you want to recognize the way?" Zhou Chengkang walked to him, stretched his hand over his shoulder and took him away, "I tell you, your aunt''s house is very close, and I know..."


    Li Qinghe''s mouth couldn''t help but twitched.

 Chapter 19： business

    When she came back from feeding the fish, Zhou Chengkang had already stood at the intersection and waited for her and said deeply, "I sent him to his aunt''s house."


    Li Qinghe chuckled.


    "You are still smiling." Zhou Chengkang glared at her, "I am so anxious to death."


    Li Qinghe didn''t care, smiled and walked towards home. "People just ask the way, what are you anxious for?"


    Zhou Chengkang was helpless and chased after a few steps, "I didn''t intentionally break my promise this morning. A lot of things happened in my house today."


    "I know. How about your brothers making a marriage? Everyone in the village knows." Li Qinghe replied casually.


    "Tomorrow, shall we go to town, okay?" Zhou Chengkang asked tentatively, "It just happens to be the episode, and you can buy everything." Then he explained, "I really planned to come to you in the morning today, but they quarreled early in the morning. , I want to make a wedding, and it''s very rare for my mother to be over there."


    Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "It can be uncertain."


    Zhou Chengkang sighed, "That''s because you don''t know the situation of our family. My mother is only two and two dollars in total. Everyone is staring. Only a small set is enough, but later... the eldest brother took the initiative to say that only half of the money is required. Brother, you only need to wear a shirt. The rest was taken by the third brother. One or two silver is just a small set. Although it is not much, it is already a lot for our family. That¡¯s it. The third brother also said They are two or two, he wants to post some in."


    Li Qinghe listened silently. After listening to Zhou Chengkang, he did not wait until Zhou Chengkang said about himself. Speaking of which he was seventeen this year, it was time to make a wedding. However, she did not take the initiative to ask, if Zhou Chengkang was only sincere to her but would not fight for her, maybe she would reconsider the relationship between the two...


    Thinking of this, just listen to him, "I also want to make a marriage appointment as soon as possible, Qinghe, I will ask a matchmaker to come, okay?"


    After a long while, Li Qinghe looked at the small courtyard of Li''s family and responded cautiously, "Okay."


    There was actually not her home. She had never had a sense of belonging. The Xu family in the last life was not her home. At most, it was a place to work like her helper in a restaurant in the town, or the kind without wages. Hope this time, she did not choose the wrong one.


    Zhou Chengkang was full of surprise, "Qinghe, did you agree?"


    Li Qinghe returned to his senses, looking at the surprise on his face, she was the only one in her eyes, smiling and nodding, "Yeah."


    Without waiting for Zhou Chengkang''s excitement, Li Qinghe said again, "But this little money must be your mother."


    Zhou Chengkang was a little puzzled, "But my mother..." He met her clear eyes, and he was a little weak, "Okay."


    Li Qinghe was satisfied. It was fine to subsidize Zhou''s mother, but after she couldn''t subsidize her, the benefits didn''t fall on her.


    When she returned home, Li Fu stood in the yard with his hands on his back, and saw her entering the door, as if he hadn''t seen him. Instead, she said to Zhao Wanwan in the kitchen, "Tomorrow''s big episode, you will follow your mother to the town to buy a decent dress, and the Hu''s will come home."


    I really didn''t plan to take Li Qinghe into consideration, and I had to make a decision for Zhao Wanwan before she decided to marry him. Even so, it didn''t affect Li Qinghe''s good mood. He hadn''t expected it, so naturally he would not be disappointed.


    The next morning, Zhou Chengkang came to pick up people. After Li Qinghe went up, Qian''s grabbing Zhao Wanwan hurried out, "Wait for us."


    Zhou Chengkang sat in the front and apologized, "Sorry, my aunt, I have something to do today, it is not convenient to take someone."


    After speaking, the horse trot and left soon after pulling the horse''s rein. Li Qinghe suddenly smiled when he saw Qian''s angrily and depraved complexion.


    She smiled happily, Zhou Chengkang secretly relaxed, and after leaving the village, she slowed down, "What are we going to buy?"


    Li Qinghe thought for a while, "Buy some meat and white rice, and some fine noodles."


    When Zhou Chengkang heard the words, he was surprised, "Can this pay back?"


    Li Qinghe smiled at him, "Try it and you''ll know."


    Nowadays, most of the streets are made of steamed buns and dried buns. They are made of coarse grains. They are sold at low prices. No one buys them if they are expensive. At most, they make a little hard work. Li Qinghe first bought fine noodles and white rice. He bought only half a catty of lean meat, bought some lard, and took these things to the bun shop.


    In the big market in town, the bun shop is also busy. The aunt is not just buns, she also has meat and noodles.


    When we arrived at the bun shop, it was still early, and most of the people who came to the market were still on the way. Seeing that it was her, the aunt was very happy, and seeing the things she was carrying, she was surprised, "These are not cheap. What do you buy these things for?"


    Li Qinghe''s face was full of smiles, and his tone was generous, "Madam, I want to sell some food, can I try it on your land?" He added, "I will pay you money."


    The aunt was a little surprised. She glanced at her hand again and couldn¡¯t help but persuade, ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m not happy. Most of the people in my shop are farmers who work to fill their stomachs. You, I¡¯m afraid no one will eat. ......Now it can be refunded if you take it back, don''t waste your money."


    "Thank you." Li Qinghe thanked him sincerely, "I want to try it. I''ll give you a taste when I''m ready later."


    The aunt is no longer unhappy. Eating may affect her business more or less, but ordinary people will not buy these things on weekdays. Even if they look fresh, there will be no fewer people in her shop today.


    Li Qinghe first boiled the rice, and then asked Zhou Chengkang to chop the meat. Then she went to refine the oil and put the fat into the pot. Gradually, the fragrance of the meat diffused, making people unconsciously swallowing. Everyone would look here when they passed by. After the oil is refined, the rice over there is ready. Li Qinghe mixes the meat with the prepared vegetables, adds a little salt, and wraps it in the rolled skin of the noodles, making it palm-sized, and then starts frying.


    Suddenly the whole shop was filled with the smell of meat and rice, which made the buns and the meat-added noodles fade a lot.


    Immediately someone asked loudly, "Sister, what is this so delicious?"


    Li Qinghe made one and was giving it to my aunt for a try. She looked here several times, and it was so fragrant, no one was willing to make such a silver.


    Starting with the golden pancake on both sides, there was still a sizzling oily sound. The auntie couldn''t wait to take a bite, and her mouth was full of meat and a slight smell of burnt rice, "Delicious!"


    The people over there got up and walked to the pot, bent down to see the golden flour pancakes in the pot, and curiously asked, "How do you sell this?"


    "Eight essays," Li Qinghe replied immediately, "but you are the first to buy, uncle, I will give you five essays."


    There were a lot of onlookers. Sooner or later, someone would buy it. At first it seemed to be a bargain. Coupled with the smell of nose, the brain immediately said, "Then I want one."


    The pancakes weren''t big, so I regretted it immediately, but with so many people around, the uncle couldn''t raise the refund anymore, so he had to admit it, and his eyes brightened after a bite, "It''s delicious!"


    Everyone looked at the idiot and looked at him, Bawen, a big bowl of meat noodles can get a bowl, just exchange for such a small pancake, although it is fine noodles, there is white rice and meat in it... It¡¯s actually quite a bargain to have so many things to eat, and the tooth ritual is also good. Therefore, many people squeeze forward to buy them. They are reluctant to eat them, and they want to take them home to eat for their children.


    Li Qinghe and the two immediately became busy.

 Chapter 20： Beg

    During the busy period, Zhou Chengkang ran to make up the noodles and meat dishes. There was a little left in the rice. Originally, Li Qinghe planned to eat it himself if he couldn''t sell it.


    When she was able to catch her breath a little, and raised her head, most of the people on the street were already reduced, and the box the aunt next to her was already full.


    Seeing her stop, Zhou Chengkang hurriedly handed over a veil, "Tired?"


    Li Qinghe took it, smiled and shook his head, "It''s okay."


    The two of them ate the last two separately, and asked the aunt to cook the noodles.


    The aunt came over, but did not leave immediately, instead she sat on the side, "If you want me to say, you still have to open a shop, I can''t turn around here."


    Li Qinghe understood in a second, she sold it a strange one today. Normally, there would not be so many people spending the money to buy food. If she has been here, then some people are likely to not eat steamed buns and noodles in order to buy her cakes for their family members, and the aunt''s business will be somewhat affected.


    Today is not bad, because of Li Qinghe''s bizarre pancakes, it attracted many people to watch. The pancakes can''t be eaten, so you can still buy two buns. The noodles and buns I prepared today are all sold cleanly.


    Li Qinghe smiled and said, "Actually, I''m raising fish, so I can''t make time to sell this. Auntie, do you want to try?"


    The aunt was taken aback, and then she was surprised, "Are you serious?"


    Zhou Chengkang ate noodles in silence and didn''t ask much. Li Qinghe glanced at him, nodded and said, "Really, I can teach you."


    The aunt knew instantly, "How much money should I charge for this apprenticeship. To be honest, I don''t want to do it myself, I want my daughter to come, she doesn''t have much money."


    "How much is a lady willing to give?" Li Qinghe''s expression remained unchanged.


    Auntie''s eyes fell on the last bit of bibimbap left over there. This cake will be delicious, and the most important thing is the rice. She looked at the copper plate beside Li Qinghe that hadn''t had time to count. The box was her own, and no one could know how much it pretended. She also saw the raw materials Li Qinghe had brought. It was indeed better than her. This bun shop still wants to make money, and tentatively asked, "Five two?"


    Li Qinghe smiled, "Mother, you give Liuliang, I promise to give it to you."


    Hearing this, the aunty relaxed immediately, "Deal."


    I was afraid that Li Qinghe would regret it, so he immediately took the silver and gave it to her, "It just happens that I have cash, do you want to make a note?"


    Li Qinghe was noncommittal and collected the money. ¡°If you want to learn, it¡¯s best to do it as soon as possible. After two days of autumn harvest, I will cook.¡± At that time, everyone was busy, and she had no trouble running out for the sake of money. I still think she ran out after being lazy.


    Upon seeing this, the aunt didn¡¯t say anything about writing evidence, ¡°I¡¯ll find her in a while and let her come over tomorrow.¡± At the end, he added, ¡°It¡¯s just this...you can¡¯t teach others anymore.¡±


    The tone of the last sentence was much more cautious, and Li Qinghe readily responded. After I finished counting the copper plates, I found that there were two thousand and one hundred. Today, I bought the raw materials for a thousand and one, which was just a few silvers or more.


    The aunt also helped count, and smiled after finishing the count, happier than she had earned herself.


    When the two returned to the carriage, Li Qinghe divided half of them to Zhou Chengkang, "This is yours."


    "I don''t need it." Zhou Chengkang hurriedly refused, "I''ll help you, I didn''t want to thank Yin."


    Li Qinghe took out three taels of silver, "Then you borrowed my silver, I won''t pay it back?"


    "No need to pay back." Zhou Chengkang didn''t know what he thought of, his ears were red, "I will give you all the money I earn in the future."


    Li Qinghe was a little surprised and amused, "You said this."


    The two talked and laughed and returned to the village, Zhou Chengkang really didn''t ask for her money at all. Li Qinghe is also happy to put it away, he can still cultivate this kind of thinking.


    The next day, Li Qinghe went to town again, but she didn''t want Zhou Chengkang to send it off. She went by herself. After a day of teaching, the aunt''s daughter could get started, and the money is considered to be obtained. Before leaving, the auntie was quite embarrassed to take out a deed.


    It was written in the deed that she was willing to teach this recipe, and could not teach other people in Luoyue Town. Li Qinghe saw it and had no objections. After pressing his fingerprints, he took a copy home.


    She ran out of money on buying fish fry, and she really wanted to sell some food to earn some money back, and going to the aunt''s shop was only a temporary motive.


    Previously, she planned to set up a stall with Zhou Chengkang the day before the big event. However, because Zhou Chengkang was delayed there, she couldn¡¯t take the things back with her. She thought that selling food might have to be moved back. On the way to town on the day of Daji, she suddenly remembered that she could go to the lady. They are sold in the shop, and there is no need to prepare pots and pans. They are all ready-made.


    I was thinking of trying it, but she didn''t expect that the cashier''s aunt here would look at her several times, and she made no secret of the envy in her eyes. Besides, she left two hundred pancakes over there and was hot and tired, so she was cruel. This business was given to the aunt, and she could make a good relationship.


    When I was approaching the village, I saw Zhou Chengkang standing aside from a distance, and smiled when I saw her, "Qinghe, will you go tomorrow?"


    "Don''t go anymore." It''s not too difficult. After a day of learning, she can sell it after a little practice.


    Zhou Chengkang was not thinking about it. Obviously, he was thinking of something else. After a long while, he coughed slightly, "I told my mother yesterday, and she agreed to this marriage. I want to come to propose a marriage tomorrow, okay?"


    Li Qinghe is a little curious about the source of Zhou Xiaoding''s silver, but she is not easy to ask. The matter of deciding to kiss really should be earlier, and said with a smile, "Okay."


    She answered casually, Zhou Chengkang''s eyes lit up in an instant, and the smile on the corner of her mouth grew bigger and bigger, "Qinghe, don''t worry, I will be good to you in the future."

 Chapter 21： Xu

    After returning home, Li Fu talked about the words that asked her to make an appointment earlier, but Zhao Wanwan remained silent. Qian saw that Li Qinghe remained silent and sighed, "I heard that the day after tomorrow is a good day, and the Hu family originally planned to come home that day. Yes, but after knowing the situation of our family, I decided to push back."


    She has a soft tone, "No matter how you can let Wanwan stay ahead, Qinghe is the elder sister, and she will not let her elder sister fall into an awkward position."


    Li Fu''s complexion eased, "It''s still polite and sensible." He looked at Li Qinghe again, "Look, you have to choose Zhou''s family. Now they have decided on several houses at once. When will it be your turn to save enough money? So tired that your sister follows..."


    Li Qinghe interrupted him, "Zhou''s family will come to propose marriage tomorrow." Then he looked at the sluggish Qian, "It''s not good to delay my sister''s marriage, Aunt Qian, the day after tomorrow, I must let Hu''s family come. If you don''t come..."


    Li Fu saw Qian''s sluggish face and said suspiciously, "Hu Jiazhen really said the day after tomorrow?"


    Qian returned to his senses, "Say it. But I don''t know that Zhou''s family will come tomorrow, I have already pushed it."


    Li Qinghe spread his hands, "It''s all right now, no need to change the plan. I''m waiting to eat Hu''s dim sum." The last sentence was addressed to the embarrassed Qian.


    Let you urge, let you blow, I see how you end up.


    She got up with the steamed bun, and planned to go out to eat. Qian said hurriedly, "No, Qinghe, where does the Zhou family''s money have so many small orders all at once?"


    Li Qinghe raised her eyebrows, "Why don''t you ask Aunt Qian?"


    Not to mention that the marriage hasn''t been fixed yet, but it is fixed. After all, it is still a family member. It is not easy to ask people for money from the girl''s house.


    Qian had nothing to say. Li Fu frowned, "What is your attitude?"


    "What attitude?" Li Qinghe turned around, "Father, I found that everything I did was wrong, you let me urge, I urged, people will come tomorrow, you are still not satisfied. I think I don¡¯t just want to urge people to make a kiss, I I also need to urge the marriage date to get married earlier! So that you don¡¯t get angry when you look at me and get angry."


    After speaking, he flung the curtain and went out.


    "Don''t be angry." Qian''s gentle and soft voice came from behind, "It is a good thing to have a marriage, and it can''t be like this tomorrow."


    Li Qinghe is actually not angry, but Li Fu always sees her unhappy or dissatisfied. The only thing he can treat gently in his life is the Qian family.


    The next morning, Li Qinghe went to the pond to feed the fish early in the morning. He came back just to have breakfast. Zhao Wanwan was very happy. Seeing her come back, she smiled and said, "Sister, hurry up and change her clothes. Today is a good day."


    This still needs to be changed. No matter who she is angry with, Zhao Wanwan is right. Today is her good day. After eating, she went to change into a light green shirt.


    Just after having breakfast, someone knocked on the door outside. The person here was the most famous grandmother Xi in the town, "You have Xilai in your house, hurry up and open the door..."


    The ending sound was prolonged, and the neighbors around could be infected by her festive tone, and someone suddenly came out to look at it.


    Qian went to greet the people in, and mother-in-law Yuxi also accompanied Zhou Mu and Zhou Chengkang.


    Today, he is dressed in 90% new commoner, his whole person is neat, his face is smiling, and he looks much more friendly than before.


    Xiaoding is actually very simple, just bring some peanut snacks and add a little fabric.


    Both of them are mindful, everything is normal except that Li Fu has no good face at Zhou Chengkang. Some people will talk about the bride price by the way today, but some will release it earlier or later. The Zhou family didn¡¯t mention it. The Li family didn¡¯t ask. Zhou¡¯s mother smiled reluctantly, but Zhou Chengkang was happy. Even if Li Fu didn¡¯t like him, he kept talking with him. He said the crops in the field. Li Fu was very interested in this, and the two talked well.


    An hour later, Mother-in-law Xi offered to leave, and Qian smiled and sent her out.


    When I arrived at the door, I listened to Granny Xi looking back at Zhao Wanwan, "Good girl, I still have to urge Hu''s family to settle down earlier." Then she lowered her voice, "It seems that someone in the town is asking Hu''s family and doesn''t know how. You have to hurry up."


    Li Fu and Li Qinghe stood close and heard this. She also understood that Qian''s lied. This Xi''s mother-in-law was looking for her from all over the world. She didn''t know the day when the Hu family decided to come to propose marriage.


    Qian''s face immediately burned, "I see, thank you. From now on, these two girls in my family will have to trouble you."


    "It''s not troublesome, it''s easy." Granny Xi waved her hand, "Helping people match up to promote the marriage, this is a major event of virtue, and it is good for me."


    When they left, Li Fu''s complexion fell. Li Qinghe still didn''t think it was enough, and said, "Father, I don''t know what Aunt Qian means. Does she hate me so much?"


    Li Fu scowled, "Come in with me."


    Qian was anxious and hurried to catch up, and heard her explain, "This is what the Hu family said, where do I know?"


    Zhao Wanwan stood aside with her head down, a little depressed.


    Li Qinghe didn''t have the mind to comfort her. She wanted to say that this girl was reticent, but she was actually the most clever.


    In the afternoon, she went to the pond to feed the fish again. By the time Zhou Chengkang had already finished feeding, the two got along the same as before, but they both felt sweet. When the fish returned home from feeding, they found a carriage parked at the door. Xu was coming down from above. He was very angry when he saw the two people who were walking with him. "You girl, who did you tell you to kiss?"

 Chapter 22： Confrontation

    Well, Li Qinghe is still a little bit empty, "Mother, why are you back?"


    The Xu family is indeed angry, but the new aunt is here, even if she has a lot of dissatisfaction with the Zhou family, no one will retire if she has made a kiss if it is not necessary. No matter what, the reputation of the girl¡¯s family is damaged. Angrily, "Why didn''t you tell me when you made a kiss?"


    Li Qinghe spread his hands, "It''s just a marriage appointment, and I know you can''t go out at all."


    "Then you can always come to town and tell me, let me see who you are going to marry before the marriage?" She looked at Zhou Chengkang and looked up and down, "Are you the fourth oldest in the Zhou family?"


    Zhou Chengkang hurriedly smiled and said, "Aunt Xu, you have a good memory, you still remember me."


    Xu raised his eyebrows, "I remember when you were running around the village like mud monkeys."


    Zhou Chengkang, "..." This memory is really good!


    "Aunt Xu, we have been a bit busy lately. This is indeed a hasty appointment. I am wrong." Zhou Chengkang admitted his mistake and had a good attitude. "Don''t worry, it will not be like this when we get married. I will take good care of Qinghe."


    The Xu family has been in the town for a long time, and he is really indifferent to the Zhou family. In her opinion, finding a home at random is better than in the village. At the beginning, she deliberately found Li Qinghe''s work in the town. It was easy and didn''t need the wind and sun. The girl''s skin color was still very important. The second reason is that I don''t want to leave my daughter at home to give Qian''s advice.


    She bothered to get her daughter to the town just to get her out of the country. She did not expect that she chose a farmer herself, especially when she was so poor.


    After seeing Zhou Chengkang now, she didn''t feel so uncomfortable. The young man was tall and slender, and his appearance was pretty dark, but looking at his cautious appearance, he was obviously interested in Li Qinghe.


    A few people were quiet at the door, but there was a carriage, and Qian quickly found out. When he saw Xu, his expression was slightly embarrassed, "Sister is back? Come in and sit down."


    The tone of greeting the guests.


    Upon hearing this, Xu opened the gate of the yard and walked in, scanning left and right.


    Since Xu went to town, he has never come back. Even giving her daughter something is also a trustee. It should be that her concubine is not so convenient.


    Qian was uncomfortable, "Sister, sit in the house, I''ll make tea."


    "No need to say hello, I know this house better than you." Xu Shi waved his hand and looked at Li Qinghe, "Hurry in, I have something to ask you."


    Zhou Chengkang looked at the gate again, "Go back, I have time to go to town, I will help you make your clothes."


    This is the meaning of agreeing to this marriage.


    Zhou Chengkang immediately relaxed, "Thank you Aunt Xu."


    In the room, the Xu family looked at his daughter who was as tall as him, and sighed, "I decided on the Zhou family for whatever I thought, and it was too poor."


    "I chose people, not people." Li Qinghe said seriously, "By the way, I bought ten acres of wasteland in the west and also raised fish."


    Xu''s eyes widened slightly, very surprised.


    Li Qinghe spread his hands, "I''m really busy. Dad and Aunt Qian urged me a few times. Wanwan and the Hu family in the town were about to make a kiss. Several times they said that I had delayed Wanwan''s marriage."


    Xu immediately became angry, "It''s too much." Huo Ran got up, apparently about to go out to find someone to settle the account.


    Li Qinghe hurriedly grabbed her, "You don''t need you, you live your own life, just don''t worry me."


    Xu sighed, did not sit down, and walked out, "It''s okay. You often go to Zhang''s house to see me and see your brother. Your sister and brother have a deeper relationship, and you can support each other in the future."


    She went out and saw Qian who came with tea, and smiled, "Sister, this is really better than me to serve people, but you will coax men and don¡¯t bully my daughter, if you let me know that you bully Qinghe again ¡­It¡¯s easier to find another marriage for Hu¡¯s family than yours in the town. If you don¡¯t believe me, try it!"


    Qian''s face was pale, "I am not..."


    Xu didn''t want to listen to her explanation, waved his hand and said, "I''m leaving."


    Li Qinghe watched her get into the carriage and left with a complicated mood. It would not be enough to say that Xu Shi was not good to her. She also prepared her dowry in her previous life, but in her eyes, the most important person is not her.


    "Is it going to move rescue soldiers?" Qian''s mocking voice sounded behind him, "It''s a pity that your mother is a concubine, and she will come and go in a hurry when she comes back."


    Li Qinghe turned around, she found that Qian¡¯s gentleness was only in front of Li Fu. When he was away, this was also very mean. She smiled and said, ¡°My mother just walked not far, do you want me to tell her to come back? Fan?"


    Qian sneered and returned to the kitchen with his teacup.


    Zhao Wanwan came out of the house at this time and whispered, "Sister, I am not sorry for you, am I?"


    This is not true. The girl even helped her wash clothes, and sometimes kept food for her. Li Qinghe nodded, "What''s wrong?"


    She blushed, "Uncle Xu just said..."


    "Not so much." Li Qinghe said casually, "My mother doesn''t do much."


    Zhao Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the kitchen, "Sister, what do you mean by Hu''s family? I said that I will come tomorrow, but my mother said I probably won''t be able to come tomorrow."


    Li Qinghe got up and walked in, "The autumn harvest will be in a few days, maybe after the autumn harvest."


    Yes, the autumn harvest is coming.


    Every family in the village is preparing things for the autumn harvest. The weather has been just right these two days. Sure enough, when Li Fu came back later, he said about the autumn harvest the day after tomorrow. He also told Li Qinghe, "You and Wanwan don''t have to go to the ground, clean up the house and prepare the food. Your Aunt Qian and I go down together. "


    Qian raised his head when he heard the words, he stopped talking, and said for a long while, "It is not convenient for me these two days, so let Wanwan go..."

 Chapter 23： Hu Jia

    Zhao Wanwan was arranging food and was surprised when she heard the words. After taking a look at Li Fu, she looked at Li Qinghe for help, and then bowed her head aggrievedly.


    Li Qinghe pretended not to see her and went out to serve food. She didn''t refuse, so who would help her out?


    Except Li Fu!


    When she went out, she had heard Li Fu displeased, "Wanwan is about to make a marriage, when the Hu family will come to her, she will look black and beautiful? Forget it, you don''t want to, I will do it myself."


    Li Qinghe went to the kitchen and brought the steamed buns. Before entering the door, he heard Qian''s voice, "Why don''t you ask the Zhou family?"


    Ask a fart!


    Li Qinghe was immediately annoyed. It was Zhou Chengkang who was willing to help. It was also someone who came voluntarily and asked what was going on. She opened the curtain and entered, "I don''t think Aunt Qian is inconvenient. There are so many women in the farmhouse, and when it is inconvenient for others, how can you still not work in the autumn harvest?"


    Qian''s face was pale by her. She was always weak and resigned in front of Li Fu, bowing her head and stopped talking.


    "Don''t ask." Li Fu picked up the steamed buns, "Ask what? If the Zhou family is interested, they should come by themselves."


    The underlying meaning is that Zhou Chengkang should come to help with work.


    Li Qinghe stopped talking, sat down after a while, and asked, "It''s not that the Hu family is going to propose a marriage, why didn''t he come?" After the proposal, he should also come to work.


    Li Fu was a little annoyed, "What are you urging? You will always come when you should."


    The next morning, the village had already started the autumn harvest, and there was noisy outside early in the morning. Li Qinghe went out to feed the fish. Along the way, many people came back carrying wheat bales. He also saw Zhou Chengwu, but he was not doing it for himself. Instead of helping Li Qingmiao¡¯s house, Qingmiao¡¯s lady rushed to deliver water. She was in a good mood and said hello to others, ¡°This year, there are people who are helping. My father and I can relax a little bit. I know, in previous years..." Barabara, anyway, I''m not satisfied.


    The Zhou family also has autumn harvest today, but only Zhou Mu and Zhou Chengkang are working. His younger sister, who is 13 this year, is also a big girl, staying at home to take care of the housework.


    Maybe he was infected by everyone. In the afternoon, Li Fu also went to the field with a sickle, but Qian did not go. As a result, three people in the family waited to cook, and Li Fu worked alone in the field under the sun.


    In the afternoon, the sun was so hot that people scorched oil. Qian made the tea and said, "Thank you, bring water to your father."


    Zhao Wanwan looked at the sun, "Mother, I haven''t washed my clothes yet."


    Li Qinghe was making clothes in the house, and he went out, "I''m going."


    Ignoring the surprised Qian''s mother and daughter, she took the tea and went out. She could still find her own land, and after walking a quarter of an hour after leaving the village, she could see Li Fu bending down to cut the wheat alone. I raised my eyes to see her approaching, "Why are you here?"


    Li Qinghe raised the kettle, "Bring you water." Then he poured a bowl for him, "Let''s take a break."


    Li Fu went to sit under the shade of the tree on the side, drank two bowls and handed them back to her, "The sun is big outside, go back earlier."


    Li Qinghe took the bowl and looked at the large pieces of wheat. With so much work, one person doesn¡¯t know how long it will take to complete. Besides, the weather is good these days. Actually, it¡¯s the best time to take back the grain and lay it down for drying. Otherwise, it will be taken back, it will rain if it is not dried, and it will still be moldy. If one fails, it will dry for nothing in a year.


    She couldn''t help but asked, "Why not let Aunt Qian come?"


    "She also came in previous years. Although she couldn''t do much, she wanted to stay with me when she said." Li Fu bent down and started to work. "Maybe she is really uncomfortable this year."


    Li Qinghe was dumb, and she didn''t want to guard a handful of dog food, or she didn''t like to listen. Li Fu urged, "Go back quickly."


    The sun was too big, and there was a kind of hot dryness in the ground, which was too much to be baked. Li Qinghe did not force it. After she was fired in the town in her previous life, she married soon, and she helped Xu''s family to cut once or twice. Xu has a lot of family, and there are so many things at home, that stall is enough for her to work, and she really hasn¡¯t done it all day long.


    On the way back, she met Zhou¡¯s mother. Zhou¡¯s mother was resting by the roadside carrying a large bundle of wheat. She had already decided to kiss her. Zhou¡¯s mother was kind to her a lot. When she saw her coming, she smiled and said, "Qinghe Ah, what do you do with such a big sun?"


    Li Qinghe also put on some smiles on his face, "I will bring water to my father, and I will return."


    Zhou''s mother was a little apologetic, "Our family has a lot of things, and it may take two days for the fourth child to come to help."


    I think Zhou Jiazhuang had a lot of labor at the beginning, and he was one of the first people in the village to finish harvesting food. I''m afraid it will not work this year.


    Li Qinghe smiled and refused. When he returned home, he saw a guest coming from the house. Qian was busy greeting her. Yu Guang spotted her entering the door and ordered, "Qinghe is back. Run quickly and call your father back. Here comes the distinguished guest."


    VIP?


    Li Qinghe glanced at it and saw a woman in a satin shirt standing reserved in the hall, with a thin young man beside her, the Hu family mother and son.


    I didn''t see Mother-in-Law Xi, who should come to talk about marriage. Li Qinghe responded and ran again. After calling Li Fu, he went to the pond to feed the fish.


    When she came back from feeding the fish, the house in the house was already set up with food, and a table of people was sitting around to eat. She glanced at it, did not go in, and went straight back to the house.


    I heard a gentle voice from the next door, unhurriedly saying, "My family is saying something, the master¡¯s praise is very good, and we will end next year. In fact, many people in the town recently asked people to come to our house to kiss. Those girls Compared to Wanwan...If it hadn''t been agreed with you before, the scholars pay attention to integrity, maybe we would not come."


    Li Qinghe continued to cut his clothes, and was slightly surprised when he heard this.


    But when the two families get married, they are all in good faith. If you are not happy, just forget it. This kind of secretly belittling the girl seems to lack the sincerity of marrying.


    "Wanwan is pretty good." Qian''s voice sounded, "I taught her to wash and cook since she was a child, and she is a good hand outside the house, no worse than others."


    Li Qinghe was speechless, but this is also a fact. It is indeed a great advantage that girls nowadays can work. But now I feel something is wrong.


    I listened to Qian''s words again, "It is better to decide this marriage earlier. I''ll be a daughter, and since she has a home, I feel relieved."

 Chapter 24： dowry

    Li Qinghe was a little hungry and didn''t want to go to eat next door. After all, Zhao Wanwan''s fianc¨¦ was there. She had to avoid suspicion. So she got up and went to the kitchen. She saw two steamed buns on the side of the kitchen pot and half of the greens on the plate. There are still a few pieces of meat, but Qian and the others have already prepared it for her.


    She took the plate and planned to go back to the room to eat.


    When passing by the main room, I heard Hu''s mother said, "...I''m here, I think the same as you, and the marriage will be settled as soon as possible."


    Without waiting for Qian''s answer, she continued, "It''s just that the wedding gift and dowry have to be discussed carefully."


    When the words came to a halt, Zhao Wanwan and Hu Yanxi came out of the house one after another. Seeing Li Qinghe with the plate, she was a little nervous and blocked Hu Yanxi''s sight, "Sister, you take it back to the house." Going to eat?"


    Li Qinghe gave a hum, nodded to Hu Yanxi who was looking at her over there, and walked in after saying hello. Zhao Wanwan¡¯s gentle voice came from behind, ¡°This is my sister Qinghe. She has just made a marriage appointment a few days ago, and it is Zhou¡¯s family over there. My parents are not willing, but she is pleased with Brother Thursday and insists on making a decision. , The lovers are finally married."


    Normally, my sister would just introduce it by the way. She introduced so many miscellaneously, but it seemed deliberate.


    Hearing this, Li Qinghe knew more about Zhao Wanwan''s thoughts in her heart. These words and sentences all indicated that her sister had already married and had a deep relationship with her fiance. But it also proved that Zhao Wanwan had no confidence in herself.


    She ignored the two outsiders, and heard the voice of Qian next door, "How can we discuss the dowry?"


    "I heard that your eldest daughter''s dowry is more than ten acres of land plus a pond?" Hu Mu''s voice.


    Li Qinghe gnawed at the steamed bun, which was also directed at the ground?


    Li Fu and Qian next door explained that Li Qinghe didn''t want to listen anymore, and concentrated on eating. After eating, she still had to make clothes. This was for Zhou Chengkang. He helped a lot and didn''t want to thank the gift. Now that the two have made a marriage, it is time to give each other gifts.


    When she returned to the kitchen after she had eaten the dishes, she happened to meet Hu''s mother and son leaving home. Seeing Li Qinghe, Hu''s mother looked up and down, "Is it Qinghe?"


    Li Qinghe paused, "Auntie, are you going back now? Don''t stay a while?"


    Mother Hu waved her hand, "No, your family has been busy with the autumn harvest these days, and we are not embarrassed to delay our work."


    "No delay, there are people at home at any time." Qian came out of the house and answered with a smile, "Sister can stay a little longer, and when the sun has passed, we can talk more."


    Mother Hu waved her hand, "That''s it."


    When the mother and son were gone, Li Fu went down again with the knife.


    Zhao Wanwan began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Qian stood under the eaves with arms folded, her expression deep, "Are you satisfied?"


    This was addressed to Li Qinghe.


    There is no beginning and no end, Li Qinghe still understands what she means, "My own marriage is settled, you are satisfied, and I am satisfied, what''s wrong?"


    Qian was annoyed and said, "It''s just ten acres of barren slopes, and it''s spreading. Now it''s fine, everyone knows that your Li''s daughter is married to ten acres of land!" At the end, his tone was full of irony.


    Li Qinghe didn''t let her feel comfortable, raising her eyebrows, "The wasteland is worth ten taels of silver."


    Qian choked, not to be outdone, "The girl''s family is not married, so the money earned should be left to the elders."


    Did you finally react?


    At the time Qian''s idea of ??making this money, Li Qinghe quickly took it back and exchanged the title deed. After that, he was busy clearing the fish ponds and buying fish fry, and he really hadn''t entangled with Li Fu and Qian''s ownership of the land.


    Li Qinghe leaned against the wall, "Why? I want to take my land back? Don''t say I don''t agree. If you want to get the land now, you have to ask people Zhou''s answer. Besides, my land, who Don''t give it. Get rid of this mind as soon as possible!"


    Zhao Wanwan looked pale, "Mother, what did Aunt Hu say?"


    Qian was not angry, "If you want half of the wasteland, or the pond, this marriage can be done."


    "Ah!" Zhao Wanwan covered her mouth, "Why do they...the place belongs to my sister."


    While speaking, he glanced at Li Qinghe''s side.


    Li Qinghe ignored their thoughts and asked her to help with cooking and cleaning, but if she wanted her to give up the land, it was impossible for Zhao Wanwan!


    She lifted the door and continued to sew her clothes. The sky gradually darkened outside. Li Fu came back carrying the wheat and spread it in the yard.


    The people in the village cut the wheat and brought it back together with the wheat stalks. Although it was a little troublesome, after the wheat was cut, the stalks could be burned as firewood, saving the need to chop wood. It was getting late, and Li Fu went out again. It should be that he wanted to take advantage of the night to run again. Li Qinghe dropped the needle and thread in his hand and ran with him, "Father, I will go too."


    Li Fu did not refuse and nodded.


    The father and daughter were silent along the way, and Li Fu took the lead, "Today the Hu family said that if you want half of your land to be given to Wanwan as a dowry, you must have the pond for this marriage to happen."


    Li Qinghe said.


    Li Fu walked in front, and said again after a while, "If you want me, it doesn''t matter if this marriage doesn''t happen, your land is always yours. If you ask Auntie Qian, you can just pretend not to know."


    This is surprising. You have to know that between Li Qinghe and Qian, Li Fu helped his childhood sweetheart, and when did he care about her daughter.


    Too surprised, Li Qinghe didn''t hide it at all. Li Fu turned around and saw her expression, a little unhappy, "You are my only child, can I still grab your things?"


    "Then you wanted my money before." Li Qinghe refused to agree.


    Li Fu emphasized, "I want to keep it for you, not for you."


    "Then I''m also worried that the money will go to the Hualou girl." Li Qinghe said plausibly, "Then the money has come back?"


    It''s not meat buns and dogs, there is no return, and there is no too much.


    Li Fu let out a clear cough, "That''s not what I promised. Can I still take the silver to give people away?"


    With Li Fu''s words, Li Qinghe was in a good mood. Although she made up her mind not to agree to share the land, if Li Fu was moved by Qian, it would be annoying.


    She carried a small bundle of wheat and waited for Li Fu to carry it back together. He had just tied it up and saw someone coming from a distance. The night was dim, and people could not be seen clearly. When approaching close, Li Qinghe recognized Zhou Chengkang and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"


    Zhou Chengkang approached, "I''ll help carry it twice." He apologized to Li Fu again, "Uncle Li, sorry, my house is also very busy."


    Li Fu nodded, "It''s okay, do your own first."


    This is not to take Zhou Chengkang as an outsider, meaning that he should still help with the work.


    However, Zhou Chengkang liked his attitude. He smashed his blood and picked up Li Fu''s bundled wheat. "I''ll come again." After that, he quickly left.


    Li Qinghe was dumb.


    Here Li Fu smiled and watched, and went to bale the wheat again, not forgetting to praise him, "Don''t look at him poor, in fact, such a person leads the most practical life."


    Li Qinghe stepped forward to help hold the pile together, "What about the Hu family?"


    "Hu''s family." Li Fu sighed, "Aloft, look down on our family, look down on Wanwan, it is not a good match. I am too arrogant, and I want to say that it is not too late to be proud after passing the exam."


    Li Qinghe couldn''t help but yell at him, "Why is that person who passed the exam?"


    Li Fumo stopped, "I don''t look down on it now. When I came here today, I probably heard about your dowry and wanted to get a share of the pie."


    "I can''t give it to Wanwan." She said earnestly, "I earned the money to buy the land. You don''t know. That time, Wanwan and I went to town early in the morning and met Master Xu, who was beaten by someone. I couldn''t get up on the ground, and Wanwan didn''t come forward at all and urged me to go home."


    So, it was Zhao Wanwan who ran into that time, maybe she slipped and rushed to save people, it was impossible.


    Hearing this, Li Fu stayed silent, and said for a long while, "At first you would try your best to save people. Actually, I was surprised. You were interested in Young Master Xu. I could see it. But regardless of your life..." He shook his head, "The Xu family hinted Getting married, I think you will follow the trend."


    Li Qinghe Yu Guang saw that Zhou Chengkang had rushed over, and said sternly, "My road is uneven."


    Seeing Zhou Chengkang who was coming close soon, Li Fu smiled and shook his head, "Here, it just happened to be **** here."


    The three returned to the village together. Li Fu never mentioned Xu Changjie again. It has been a long time since the last time he was injured. During this period of time, he has not heard from him again, so he should be recuperating at home.

 Chapter 25： Hu Jia

    When the three of them arrived home, Li Fuyang said, "Cook."


    Qian came out of the house, "Didn''t he just eat it?"


    In front of Zhou Chengkang, Li Fu''s words could not be refuted, and he immediately rebuked, "Just do it if you want to."


    Qian glanced at Zhou Chengkang, knowing that cooking is for him, and smiled and said, "Fourth old man, thank you, have you eaten dinner? Don''t be polite, Aunt Qian will go and cook it for you. ."


    Zhou Chengkang smiled and blinked at Li Qinghe, and refused, "No. My sister cooks at home. She has it long ago. I will prepare the meal when I get home."


    After speaking, he turned around and left. Li Fu called twice, but he was already far away. Turning around and looking at Qian''s gaze, he was a little disappointed. He walked to the well without saying a word, fetched water and went to the water room.


    Qian stopped talking a few more times, but Li Fu didn''t even look at her.


    Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows and went to the kitchen to boil the water. Zhao Wanwan was still washing the dishes. When she saw her entering the door, she smiled and greeted her, "I just came here on Thursday?"


    Li Qinghe nodded, "By the way, he came back with two bundles of wheat."


    The next step is silence. The original sisters still get along well, because this marriage seems to have become cold.


    However, Qian¡¯s grievances cried outside, ¡°Then I¡¯m just saying something casually. How can I blame me for having left before he can? Then I¡¯ll do it now and let Qinghe go and ask him to come and eat.¡±


    He said that he went into the kitchen, squeezed Li Qinghe all of a sudden, and said hard, "Go and ask him to come over to eat, or your father will be endless, and my Li family doesn''t want him to have a meal, just cook it for him! "


    As I said, tears rolled down, and I was so wronged.


    Li Qinghe got up and took a bucket and flicked hot water to the water room. Li Fu stood outside in the yard with a deep face.


    Qian didn''t let it go, and said loudly, "Qinghe, go ask the fourth child to eat!"


    Li Qinghe sneered, "People don''t lack a meal for you, you made them deliberately, why are they embarrassed to stay and eat?"


    Originally, Zhou Chengkang hadn''t planned to eat at all, maybe Li Fu was just polite, but Qian''s even said "specially", meaning that his family had finished eating, but just helped Zhou Chengkang make it. It was too polite and seemed deliberate.


    After Li Qinghe finished speaking, ignoring the two of them, he took the water into the water room by himself, and heard Li Fu''s voice outside, saying, "Let me go down to the ground with me tomorrow."


    Qian''s cry stopped, "I''m sick, how can I go?"


    "Where are you uncomfortable?" Li Fu asked back. "Where are you uncomfortable, go to the doctor. We share the same bed every day. What are you talking about?"


    Qian was sitting in front of the stove. The fire in the stove was violently burned by her, making her complexion extinguished. The water in the pot was beaten by Li Qinghe for most of the time, and it quickly turned over. Zhao Wanwan saw it, took a basin and hurriedly added some cold water in.


    Li Fu stood at the door of the kitchen and asked again, "Where are you uncomfortable?"


    After a long while, Qian said in a low voice, "I''m afraid of getting sunburned."


    What reason is this?


    Li Fu frowned, "Wearing the hat well, it won''t get much tan. Besides, when the autumn harvest is over and winter comes, don''t you just cover it up?"


    "I''m not going." Qian looked away, "I''m two years younger than Qinghe''s mother, and I look much older than her. It''s because of work."


    When Li Qinghe came out carrying a bucket, he heard her words and couldn''t help but laugh. He thought what happened to the Qian family this year, but he didn''t expect to be stimulated by the Xu family.


    The Xu family and the Qian family are not the same except that they are beautiful. When Xu was a girl at home, except for spring planting and autumn harvesting, he would send water at most other times, so he couldn''t work in the field. Later, I married Li Fu and got pregnant soon. I didn¡¯t need her to go to the land. Then I went to the town to be a nanny and then was admitted as a concubine¡¯s room. Covered at home and don''t have to work.


    As for the Qian family, the Zhao family who married earlier is a idle bastard. She relies on her own care outside the family. Later, she left and returned home. She also had to work at the Qian family, that is to marry. After Li Fu, he only did housework at ordinary times, and accompanied Li Fu to the fields when he was busy. Naturally, it is not as good as the Xu family.


    In the past two days, she didn''t want to touch these things in her family. It turned out to be because of this.


    Speaking of the Xu family, Li Fu''s complexion is not very good. Even if he reunited because he wanted to marry the Qian family, it is also true that Xu family was in someone¡¯s bed before he left. Even if it¡¯s just because of the money, it proves that he is indeed. Not as good as others, the tone is not very good, "When did she come? Why don''t I know?"


    Li Qinghe took the words, "Mother heard that I was going to kiss me, so she came to ask me specifically, and she took a look at Chengkang. But she left after a few breaths and didn''t drink tea.


    Qian retorted, "It''s because she doesn''t like it or not, but it''s not that I didn''t prepare."


    Seeing that there was a quarrel again, Li Fu''s face turned dark. "Tomorrow morning, we will go down together. Qinghe and Wanwan are enough at home. If you cover it again, it won''t be as good as others. It''s because I don''t have the skills, let''s go! "


    After speaking, he entered the door.


    Qian was at a loss. Li Fu hadn''t slapped her face since they got married for so many years. This was the first time it was because of Xu''s! Even if she is married, she won''t make it easier!


    In the next few days, every family in the village will get up early and greedy the dark, but every family is very happy. The weather has been smooth this year, and the harvest is good.


    Li Qinghe also went, but she stopped by to help with work when she went to feed the fish in the morning and when the sun went down. At other times, she helped to cook at home, and Qian did not go there. Even if Li Fu was cold, she was so diligent in pouring tea at home, but she couldn''t make it to the ground.


    After being so busy for seven or eight days, all the food from the Zhou family was collected. Zhou Chengkang came here the next day to help with work. Li Fu was really happy, especially Zhou Chengkang¡¯s work was not worse than him, so he was more satisfied. , Even took the silver to let Li Qinghe go to the town to cut meat and return to fry.


    On the other side of Hu''s family, he came back one afternoon.


    This time, Li Qinghe was also at home. She planned to feed the fish after the sun was younger. She stood under the eaves and saw the mother and son of Hu''s family.


    She greeted with a smile, "Auntie is here."


    Hu''s face flushed from the sun, and he smiled reluctantly, "Qinghe, is your Aunt Qian?"


    Qian had already heard the voice and came out hurriedly from the room, "I am here. My sister is here, come in and sit down quickly." He turned around and shouted, "Wanwan, your aunt is here."


    Still not forgetting to tell Li Qinghe, "Go get tea."


    Li Qinghe was silent, and decided not to care about her. She herself had to avoid suspicion. Besides, when Zhou''s family came to the door, Qian also greeted her kindly. So, she turned around and went to the kitchen to boil the water. She also deliberately boiled a little more. Later, she would send it to the two Li Fu, and it should be over here.

 Chapter 26： Home

    When sending tea in, Li Qinghe found that Hu Mu''s attitude was much better than last time. She praised Zhao Wanwan several times, as if she was satisfied everywhere.


    She didn''t know what happened during this time, so Hu Mu suddenly changed her attitude. Li Qinghe poured tea, Hu mother still did not forget to thank her, smiled and looked at Qian, "If it is convenient for you, I will take Granny Xi to the house tomorrow. After that, the marriage will be sooner, and the wedding date should be before the year. This year, we will have one more person in the Hu family, so that the mother and child will not have anything to say about sitting."


    Zhao Wanwan''s face flushed with shame, and Qian was also very happy, "When I have time, I will talk to Wanwan her father tomorrow and let him wait at home."


    When Hu Mu heard her mention Li Fu, she paused with a smile, and then recovered, talking about Xiao Dingli.


    At this time, Zhao Wanwan was not suitable for staying. Li Qinghe poured tea and went out to the field with tea.


    Li Qinghe was surprised to find that Zhao Wanwan was following her after going out, "Are you going out too?"


    Zhao Wanwan smiled sweetly, "I''ll stay with you, I''m not embarrassed to stay there now."


    "Very happy?" Li Qinghe asked with a smile.


    Zhao Wanwan nodded, "I thought this marriage was going to be pornographic, but I didn''t expect them to change their minds."


    Li Qinghe was silent, and couldn''t help saying, "You are not curious why they changed their minds? Maybe..." The words paused, if she said anything else, it seemed that she couldn''t see Zhao Wanwan better.


    "Nothing will happen." Zhao Wanwan said confidently, "Auntie and...Hu Gongzi are here, and they look happy too. It should be fine, sister don''t think too much."


    I still misunderstood.


    The conscience of heaven and earth, Li Qinghe is really kind to remind her that she really does not envy the Hu family''s marriage.


    Li Qinghe stopped talking, Zhao Wanwan was very excited, and continued, "If the marriage goes well, after marrying to town, I want to see the aunt, and I will have to work as a helper next time. I will do more."


    Li Qinghe: "..." Girl, you think a lot.


    Fortunately, not far from the ground, when Li Qinghe arrived with tea, Li Fu and Zhou Chengkang were working in full swing.


    "There is still some tea here, why is this point here?" Perhaps it was because Zhou Chengkang came to help with the work. He said softly to Li Qinghe, which meant that she should come over after the sun sets later.


    Seeing Zhao Wanwan on the side again, he frowned, "It''s just sending water, what are you all doing here?"


    Zhao Wanwan''s face flushed immediately, "I''m not suitable at home at this time."


    Upon hearing this, Li Fu became puzzled.


    "The Hu''s family is here again. When we came out, we just heard Aunt Hu explain that she will come to her mother-in-law to propose marriage." Li Qinghe''s tone was flat and her complexion was as usual.


    Li Fu frowned, "Didn''t you talk about the dowry?"


    Zhao Wanwan was so shy at first, she hurriedly said, "No, my aunt didn''t mention that today."


    "Coming home tomorrow?" Li Fu scanned the large tracts of wheat in the ground.


    Zhao Wanwan lowered her head and said, "Father, it''s only going to come to propose for a long time. Don''t you want to?"


    Seeing her low expression, Li Fu said hurriedly, "No. It''s been very busy these two days, I''m afraid it will rain. You were raised by me. I would naturally see you find your home. This is a good thing. I will definitely be at home tomorrow. ."


    Zhao Wanwan was happy again, "Thank you, father!"


    "Thank you for what?" Li Fu smiled, "You are my daughter. These are all things that should be done."


    Li Qinghe lowered his eyes to pour tea, and then sent it to Zhou Chengkang, who was walking a little further away. She found that the mother and daughter were very good at retreating. Originally, Li Fu was a little dissatisfied with the Hu family''s visits in the past two days, and he could change the time, but when Zhao Wanwan was lost, he quickly agreed.


    A calm man''s voice came from his side, but he was slightly worried, "Don''t be upset."


    The corner of Li Qinghe''s mouth suddenly twitched, "I''m not upset, you can take a break tomorrow."


    It doesn''t make sense for the master to be away, and the reason why he came to work in the field himself. He was originally to help, even if Zhou Chengkang really became the son-in-law of the Li family, Li Fu had to bring him to work.


    "I haven''t had to rest for these two days. The wheat in my house is still beating." Zhou Chengkang smiled. "My house is also very busy this year. The eldest brother and the second brother are busy helping his father-in-law these days. The third brother only returned yesterday. If you don¡¯t hit it again, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s going to be done.


    After listening, Li Qinghe didn''t comment, looked at the sky and said, "I''m going to feed the fish."


    When she left, Zhao Wanwan was with her again and followed her to the pond. Speaking of it, after Li Qinghe bought this wasteland, Zhao Wanwan was the first time to come back and looked at the slapped fish in the pond, she was a little surprised, "Look at this, it grows fast."


    Li Qinghe explained, "Those who grow fast will grab food. The bigger the bigger, the smaller the smaller. In fact, it''s not easy to feed. Can you pay back?"


    Zhao Wanwan pondered and said optimistically, "At least there is no shortage of meat."


    This is true.


    Speaking of meat, since Li Qinghe returned home, he has not eaten meat a few times at home. Especially since I never needed to spend money on meat before, I now know that after buying it, it really hurts like cutting on my body!


    Li Qinghe smiled and asked, "Want to eat meat? Isn''t there a piece in the house?"


    Zhao Wanwan smiled and didn''t say much. It was Zhou Chengkang who came to help, and Li Fufu bought it intentionally. Even when it was her turn, there were few mouthfuls.


    When the two went back, Mother Hu was still there, and she greeted them before leaving. Before leaving, she said again, "We will come home early tomorrow morning."


    Qian sent them out happily and greeted them all the way to the entrance of the village.


    At dinner, there was indeed a plate of meat on the table. Li Fu asked Zhou Chengkang to eat more. Before Zhou Chengkang left, Li Fu said, "I have something to do tomorrow morning, you..."


    Zhou Chengkang smiled and said, "Uncle, I understand. I will come again the day after tomorrow."


    With these words, Li Fu was even more happy, and he turned to enter the door after watching him walk away. Qian and Zhao Wanwan were eating seriously at this time, and Zhou Chengkang was only here. They were embarrassed to say hello to that plate of meat, so you don''t have to be polite now.


    Seeing him entering the door, Qian said hurriedly, "The Hu family said, come in the morning."


    "In the morning?" Li Fu frowned, working faster in the morning, and the sun was much milder than in the afternoon, and people were less uncomfortable.


    Qian took it for granted, "Yeah, people come from town and take advantage of the sun''s absence in the morning, or they will sweat profusely, and the door will be ugly." After a pause, he said, "It''s just a long time, Wan Wan, but call your father, she should be sad for you."


    "I didn''t say anything!" Li Fu looked at Zhao Wanwan, "It just happens that tomorrow I can sleep a little longer, which is good."


    Li Qinghe received the bowls and chopsticks, pretending not to see the trio''s eyebrow lawsuit.


    The next morning, the sky was bright outside. At this time, it was usually time for Li Qinghe to get up and go to the pond to feed the fish, but today she did not move, turned over and continued to sleep, thinking that she would go out to feed the fish when Hu''s family came. Avoid.


    Li Fu didn''t need to wake up early today. The courtyard outside was quiet, except for the occasional rooster crowing from behind the house. Suddenly she opened her eyes and felt something was wrong.


    She seemed to hear the door of the main room rang. The wooden door had been opened and closed for a long time. It was the main room where Li Fu lived. She could hear it every morning, but the sound was much lower today.


    When Li Fu and Qian opened the door, when have they been so careful?


    Is there a thief?


    She lightly got up and put on her clothes. When the door opened a slit, she saw Qian''s lightly walking into the yard, and she looked back guardingly.


    Li Qinghe was really surprised this time. It looked like surreptitiously... Seeing Qian went out of the yard towards the entrance of the village, she was really curious. She also opened the door, paused before leaving, and went back to get another one. The shoe sample, this one was borrowed from the green taro at the entrance of the village. It has been painted and returned to her by the way.


    Holding the shoe samples, before arriving at Qingyu''s house, I saw Qian on the fork in the road to the small river. There was a man standing next to her, and the two were talking.


    The sky was dim, and Li Qinghe couldn''t see who the person was. She walked straight ahead and went to Qingyu''s house. This hour, it was the time when each family got up to wash, it was a little early. Qingyu was washing her clothes in the yard, and seeing the shoes in her and her hands, she smiled and said, "Don''t worry, I don''t have time to make shoes now." She took it, and smiled at her, "How about it, for the lover." When making shoes, do you sew all your affection in?"


    Shoes are all things in winter, and now few people are free to make shoes. Li Qinghe also wanted to make a pair for Zhou Chengkang, poking two needles when he was free. The last sentence was deliberately making fun of her.


    The two joked and laughed. Li Qinghe turned around and prepared to go home. Yu Guang saw a middle-aged man in his thirties who came over unhurriedly. It was the person who had just spoken to Qian. He glanced at them as he passed by. , Went straight away.

 Chapter 27： Zhoujia

    Seeing him walking away unhurriedly, Qingyu asked in a low voice, "Qinghe, who then?"


    Li Qinghe shook his head, "I haven''t seen it."


    But she heard her mother''s voice from behind Qingyu, "I know, it''s her father Wanwan."


    When Li Qinghe heard the words "Wanwan her father", the first thing he thought of was Li Fu, and then suddenly, this person was Zhao Wanwan and her father Zhao Tianfu?


    The Qian clan actually had contact with him, does Li Fu know?


    Qingyu was just wondering, so I stopped asking when I heard it. Everyone in the village has surnames. There are hundreds of households from the village head to the village end. It is normal if I don''t know him.


    Li Qinghe said goodbye to her, and walked with a piece of miscellaneous grain pancake stuffed by her mother. It didn''t take long to see Qian.


    Qian suddenly saw her as soon as he turned his head, moved his feet as if he wanted to hide, but held back, standing still waiting for her to approach, "Qinghe, where did you go so early?"


    Li Qinghe calmly took a bite of the cake, "Return the shoes."


    Qian also knew about borrowing shoes. Looking at her usual face, Qian asked tentatively, "You just came back, did you meet someone?"


    "I met." Li Qinghe nodded, seeing Qian''s instantly pale face, she continued, "The third aunt next door went to the town to buy coarse grains."


    Qian''s sigh of relief, "Go back quickly and help with the cleaning. It''s time for the Hu family to come."


    Li Qinghe was noncommittal, and wanted to scare her, and asked, "What does Aunt Qian go out so early?"


    Qian was stunned, smiling barely, and unnaturally speeding up a few steps, "I went to wash my clothes yesterday and got something off. I will see if I can find it in the morning."


    "Have you found it?" Li Qinghe was curious.


    Qian shook his head, "No, there are so many people coming and going, where are there?"


    Later, he became more and more calm.


    When he got home, Li Fu was already up and was washing himself. Seeing the two of them came in, "Where did they go?"


    Originally it was just a casual sentence, but Li Qinghe saw Qian''s hand on his side instantly squeezed.


    "I''m returning shoe samples." Li Qinghe approached and fetched water to wash.


    Li Fu didn''t ask much, and said, "Clean up the yard, what will it be like when Hu''s family comes."


    It''s true that I''m more polite to my in-laws than ordinary guests. However, with so many people in the family, it is not Li Qinghe''s turn to clean, and there are not so many broomsticks.


    The sun gradually rose, and no one came to the door. Zhao Wanwan sat in the house with restraint at first, and gradually ran to the yard from time to time to look at the road outside, and finally simply stood at the door.


    And Qian was also happy from the beginning, and gradually became suspicious. Li Fu''s face was not very good, "Hu Jia said he will come today?"


    "You said it." Qian''s tone was determined. "Wanwan and Qinghe should have heard it, right?"


    Zhao Wanwan lowered her head and nodded casually.


    To say that Li Qinghe was the least affected. She ate breakfast as usual, thinking that if the Hu family didn''t come again, she would feed the fish first, and then avoid it before trying to find a way. Can''t go to the pond under the sun, right?


    The sun gradually went to the yard, and the sun was no longer under the eaves. Li Qinghe lost his patience, got up and walked outside. Li Fu anxiously walked around the house with his hands behind his back. Seeing her going out, he asked, "What are you doing?"


    "I feed the fish." Li Qinghe said casually.


    Li Fu followed her out, "I will accompany you."


    Qian was anxious, "If someone comes in a while..."


    Li Fu waved his hand, "It''s just feeding the fish, not dirty clothes, and back and forth quickly, don''t be too nervous."


    The father and daughter opened the gate of the yard and were about to go west, when they saw a group of people coming from the entrance of the village, Li Fu''s frowning eyebrows instantly loosened, "Here."


    Qian heard the voice and came over a few steps, "Know? Where is it?"


    A smile reappeared on Zhao Wanwan''s face, she opened the curtain and went in.


    Li Qinghe stood at the door, waited for Hu Mu to come over, said hello with a smile, and went to the pond with the excuse of feeding the fish.


    After feeding the fish, when I went back to pass Zhou''s house, I happened to see Zhou Chengkang beating wheat. He was not there when he came just now.


    Zhou Chengkang dropped the things he was playing with the wheat and walked to the gate of the yard, "Qinghe, have you fed the fish? Would you like to come in and sit?"


    Mother Zhou in the door came out with a smile, "Qinghe, come in and sit down."


    Li Qinghe was silent, but still entered the door. In her last life, Zhou Chengkang built a wooden house in front of her grave, and rarely left. She just knew Zhou''s family.


    Mother Zhou hurriedly greeted, "Qinghe, sit in the house." She shouted again, "Sister, hurry up and have tea, your sister Qinghe is here."


    Apart from the three of them, there seems to be no one else in the family. The little girl of Zhou¡¯s family is a shy temper. She only called her sister when she poured the tea, and then stopped talking, but when she heard Zhou¡¯s mother and Li Qinghe talking, her mouth was With a slight smile.


    Mother Zhou also took out the melon seeds and pushed them in front of her, "I heard that Hu''s family is here today?"


    Li Qinghe thanked him before saying, "Here, I just arrived when I left."


    "Very good, good." Zhou Mu smiled.


    The room is tidy and tidy, just because things are outdated. When I came in just now, Li Qinghe glanced at it and found that the layout of Zhou¡¯s house is exactly the same as that of hers. There are two main rooms and one wing. The layout is not small, it is enough for the Li family, but For the Zhou family...


    Just listen to Zhou''s mother, "I plan to wait for the grain to dry, then sell it, and build two houses first."


    Li Qinghe didn''t care about it. She still had some silver in her hands, so she went to a place near the pond to build a foundation on her own. She had never thought about anyone else. However, she was not easy to answer Zhou''s words. In the final analysis, she was just an undocumented wife.


    After sitting for a while, Li Qinghe planned to stand up and leave. Hu''s family there should be about to leave. In fact, she came in mainly to see the surroundings of Zhou''s family. She was relieved to see how clean it was. It doesn''t matter if you are poor, you are afraid of being lazy.


    When he was about to say goodbye, the curtain at the door opened, and a person entered the door in a rush, "Mother, give me some silver. Hai Yao has a fancy bracelet and loves it very much."


    When the words fell, I saw that there was an extra person in the room. After looking up and down, "Li Qinghe?"


    Everyone is unfamiliar, so it''s not wrong to call it that way, Li Qinghe nodded.


    Mother Zhou frowned, "I have no money."


    Zhou Chengcai was enthusiastic and spoke quickly, "Mother, Hai Yao likes it very much. This time, she said, I bought this bracelet as a betrothal gift."


    In front of Li Qinghe, she said that the other daughter-in-law''s betrothal gifts, Zhou''s mother felt wrong in the first reaction, and said, "I will talk about the betrothal gifts later. What anxious. Besides, Qinghe is still there. What do you think you are so rash?


    Li Qinghe got up at the right time, "Auntie, I should go back."


    Zhou''s mother''s complexion changed slightly, and she tried to keep her for lunch, but Li Qinghe had already gone out. It was not convenient for her to listen to this person''s private affairs. Zhou Chengkang stopped his mother and said, "I will send her back."


    Mother Zhou gave Zhou Chengcai a bitter look, and said in a low voice, "Please explain to her well, don''t be angry."


    Zhou Chengkang smiled, "Don''t worry, mother, Qinghe is not a stingy person."


    Li Qinghe went out and walked fast. She didn''t hear Zhou Chengkang''s words behind him, but he chased after him not long after he left, "Qinghe, I will see you."


    "These few steps, what are you going to give?" Li Qinghe waved his hand, "I''m so busy now, go back quickly."


    Zhou Chengkang didn''t turn around, and continued to walk with her, "That won''t work, my mother asked me to take you home, and let me explain to you. My third brother''s fiancee is really spoiled."


    Li Qinghe raised her eyebrows, "Your family doesn''t think that she spoils her and we should let her?"


    This kind of thinking is not good, she will not wait.


    "Of course not." Zhou Chengkang said righteously, "You are the only one in this world who can make me give in."


    Li Qinghe chuckled, "Don''t be poor, go back."


    When he got home, the Hu family hadn''t left yet, and the atmosphere in the lobby was not right, it was a little silent, and there was no small set of joy. Li Qinghe didn''t go in, and went straight back to the room. The clothes she made for Zhou Chengkang were the last thing.


    Li Fu''s voice was calm, "Qinghe is my daughter, and Wanwan is also my daughter. I will give as many dowry as much as the betrothal gift. If you give Wanwan more, I will add it to Qinghe. Only me in my family Working alone and barely making ends meet, these dowries... are very difficult for me. We can''t marry two daughters at once, our family can''t live anymore?"


    Still talking about the dowry.

 Chapter 28： autumn harvest

    It seems that the Hu family still has not given up the idea of ??making a fortune from Hu Yanxi''s wife''s family. I just don''t know why I suddenly changed my mind and didn''t want to land.


    Li Qinghe spread out the clothes, just the last two sides. If he is more serious, it will take two or three days.


    "Why is that the same?" Hu''s native language is very meaningful. "Our family Yanxi is considered to be the most talented on the Master''s side, and the master himself has said that if his students can have talents, it must be our family Yanxi. , I didn¡¯t make up this statement. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask for money and communication. Now our family is in difficulty, but it¡¯s not that we still keep our promise and come to propose marriage? It¡¯s convenient for others to make it easier for us. By then, our family will have a good reputation. Fame, your Li family can also get some benefits. If nothing else, this land can be put under the name of Yanxi, so there is no need to pay grain tax. This is a real benefit."


    All of Li Qinghe''s ears were the proud voices of Hu''s mother, "These five taels of silver will save the food tax for the rest of your life, isn''t it worthwhile?"


    Qian was a little surprised, "Master really said that?" It was obviously shaken.


    "No." Li Fu refused.


    "Why not?" Qian was a little anxious, "This talent can be rewarded in the future, but others don''t remember you. If you are not filial, and you usually choke people when you speak, how can you count on it?"


    Li Qinghe, who usually chokes people to death, "..." So she can''t count on it? But she didn''t point to Li Fu''s purse!


    The Qian family really couldn''t count on her to take care of her, but Li Fu''s filial piety would not be less.


    Li Fu''s voice came again, "No way. Qinghe is an elder sister. How much dowry we have when she gets married, it is as much as Wanwan. The same daughter, I love and impartiality."


    Qian''s eye circles are red.


    Mother Hu said goodbye at the right time, "The child''s marriage is set, as for the dowry, then you can discuss it. We naturally hope that you can help, but if it really doesn''t work...we won''t force it."


    Li Qinghe opened the door and went out after listening to the footsteps of a group of people going out, and hearing Qian''s greeting them to have time to play.


    Li Fu also escorted them to the gate, turned around and saw Li Qinghe standing under the eaves, "When did you come back?"


    Li Qinghe glanced at Zhao Wanwan, who was shy on her face, "When you talk about five or two dowries."


    Zhao Wanwan is indeed happy, even if the dowry cannot be agreed, the marriage has been set, and she will be able to marry in sooner or later.


    Hearing that, Li Fu was a little uncomfortable, "I still said that in front of you, both of your sisters have the same dowry. I will prepare as many dowry for as many dowry gifts. If you add it, I will add it gracefully."


    Qian was already wiping his tears, leaning against the kitchen door, choking from time to time.


    Li Qinghe saw her like this and smiled at Li Fu, "Father, I have ten acres of land, so I don¡¯t need to add it. When the time comes, all Zhou¡¯s betrothal gifts will be taken back as a dowry. If Dad has the surplus silver, he should keep it in his own hands. It¡¯s the best, it¡¯s not as convenient as money in your hands, isn¡¯t it?"


    Qian was dissatisfied, "What do you mean?"


    Li Qinghe stretched out his hands, "To be honest, the money that Uncle Wanwan borrowed a few days ago must be one or two or two? It would be nice if you brought it back to Wanwan."


    When he mentioned this, Qian stopped talking and turned around and went into the kitchen to wash the cups.


    Although Li Fu didn''t like Li Qinghe''s repeated tit-for-tat confrontation with Qian Shi, the last sentence she said just now was very comfortable to hear.


    Qian''s words already meant that he wanted to make money from him. Zhao Wanwan was silent, but she was able to express her attitude without saying no. At this time, Li Qinghe did not take the opportunity to ask him to squeeze him, but instead let him save more money. Close to the body, it seems very intimate.


    "The sun is so big, stay away." Li Fu exhorted, got up and walked in. He quickly changed into an old patched coat and came out with a knife in his hand, "I went to the field."


    Qian did not come out, and responded in the kitchen.


    Li Qinghe quickly picked up most of the remaining pot of tea, chased it out and handed it to Li Fu, saving it a while before sending it against the sun.


    Li Fu was given tea by his daughter, and felt more intimate, his complexion softer, "Don''t quarrel with your Aunt Qian, she just talks a lot."


    Saying Qian talks a lot, is this dissatisfaction with her?


    Li Qinghe agreed. In fact, she didn''t have to quarrel with Qian. Normally, Qian didn''t provoke her and couldn''t make a quarrel. The past few years had a good time. It''s also because she went home recently, and she didn''t look up and saw the people who bowed her head all day. It was inevitable that there was a dispute. She told the truth, "If she doesn''t mess with me, I will ignore her."


    When Li Qinghe returned home, she found Zhao Wanwan cleaning the hall where she had just been waiting for guests. Qian was drying her cups. When she saw her entering the door, she sneered and said, "Oh, this girl in our family who doesn''t ask for dowry, it''s so sweet."


    Li Qinghe folded his arms, "You can''t find it easy, right?"


    Zhao Wanwan came out from the room, "Sister, stop arguing, this dowry will come according to Dad''s wishes."


    It was not once or twice that Li Fu changed his mind for the mother and daughter. Hearing this, Qian''s complexion was slightly slow, and he entered the door with a cold snort.


    Zhao Wanwan looked at her again, "Sister, if Dad really gives me this dowry then, we will treat it as if it was borrowed by us, and I will pay it back."


    Today, she is dressed in a pink shirt with joy between her eyebrows and her eyebrows. She has the wooden hairpin that she gave to her obliquely inserted on her head. She also painted her brows with powder on her face, which looked a little more delicate.


    Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "Just because of your conscience."


    Although Hu¡¯s family had set up Xiaoding, they didn¡¯t mean to come to help with the autumn harvest. Zhou Chengkang came every day. He collected the wheat in seven or eight days and began to harvest the wheat again. Although it rained several times during the period, Fortunately, everything passed quickly, without holding Maizi, and after nearly a month of busy work, Maizi finally got into the warehouse.


    When the grain was in the warehouse, the farmers were relieved. Those who are lazier start to rest, and those who are more diligent may go out to do part-time jobs, or go to the fields to pick up weeds.


    Li Qinghe also started to clean up the weeds in the field, planning to drive some to try to grow them, and she planned to circle a piece of land to raise chickens, anyway, it would not be a little work to clean up all of the land for such a large area.


    Zhou Chengkang didn''t go anywhere after the Zhou''s food was dried, helping Li Qinghe clean up the ground. It hasn''t been a few days before the wedding date of Zhou''s eldest brother has arrived.


    People in the village have a happy event. Neighbors who live close and those who are close will come to help if they can make room. For example, Li Fu, who was not close in previous years, would go as he pleased. Now that we are married, it would be awkward not to go.


    The Zhou family''s eldest brother married a wife, whether it is in the eyes of Zhou family or outsiders, this celebration is almost so interesting. After all, marrying a widow is not easy to say.


    Besides, this widow will also marry her mother-in-law... Fortunately, it''s Zhou''s family, so she definitely can''t agree to a change of person. In particular, Brother Zhou was still married for the first time, it was more like he would marry after he could not marry a suitable wife, which seemed aggrieved.


    But he didn''t feel it at all. He was dressed in red and happily brought the crowds to meet people in Liucun.


    Li Qinghe didn''t go early in the morning, and still had to bring the bride back. At that time, the most people were. She was still drying the quilt in the backyard, and heard someone calling her from outside.


    When I walked around to the front yard, I saw Li Qingmiao standing in front of her house, "Qinghe, when are you going?"


    The two were about the same age and were familiar with each other, and they were still concubines in the future. Li Qinghe smiled and went out, "Why do you think of looking for me?"


    "Sorry." Li Qingmiao said with a smile, "someone should make fun of us in a moment."


    This is also normal. When the elder marries a wife, people will inevitably ask the younger one. But most of them were well-intentioned and passed away after a smile.


    Li Qingmiao saw many people in Zhou''s courtyard from a distance, and curiously said, "I don''t know what kind of person this sister-in-law is."


    "I don''t know." Li Qinghe said casually, "What are you worried about? Anyway, you live in your natal family and don''t get along with her."


    "I''m asking for you, I''m not getting along, can you still not get along?" Li Qingmiao lowered his voice, "I heard your second brother say that their family will build two houses before the winter day, which must be for you to live in. "


    Li Qinghe teased her, "Second brother told you?"


    Li Qingmiao blushed, paused, and said in a low voice, "Have you asked for the bride price quietly? It is said that this person who came in today, as long as Xiaoding does not ask for the bride price. I don''t need the Zhou family to give the bride price. Come to you..."

 Chapter 29： Chance encounter

    Li Qinghe really didn''t say how much the Zhou family had to take for the betrothal gift, but it was not deliberately aimed at it, and it was okay to have less. After all, she married for Zhou Chengkang, and she herself does not lack talent.


    Li Qinghe smiled lightly, "I haven''t mentioned it."


    The talking room has reached the door of Zhou''s house. At this hour, people from various families slowly began to come over. Li Qinghe and the two went to prepare the vegetables. Many people in the village did not see Li Qinghe. She had been back and forth in the town earlier. , Seeing her now, first made fun of her, and then coaxed her to cut the meat.


    Li Qinghe didn''t feel embarrassed, and took the knife and started cutting. She cut thin and large pieces. Many women in the village who have cooked meals for a lifetime were not as good as her. Someone immediately praised, "Qinghe has learned well."


    "If I don''t learn well, they will let me go home." Li Qinghe answered with a smile, "That''s it, as soon as I get hurt, I don''t want me."


    Someone curiously asked, "Helping in a restaurant, is it true that you can just eat the buns?"


    The atmosphere in the kitchen was good, everyone was happy, and Li Qinghe also laughed, "No, we have special meals. Sometimes the chef cooks it and it¡¯s our turn to eat. But there are many helpers, and the chef also It¡¯s not all speculation, one person can¡¯t tell much."


    A female voice rang, "I understand, I can only pick up leftovers to eat."


    When everyone heard the sound, they saw a girl in common clothes standing at the door, with a simple body and a cold face, "What is there to show off."


    Li Qinghe wasn''t showing off at all. The people around him were actually just asking questions, joking and laughing, and no one took it seriously. The girl could just choke to death.


    A woman on the side came out to make a round, "Lai Xi, when did you come?"


    The girl at the door was a cousin of Qian Laiman''s relatives, speaking like this in front of so many people, it seemed that she didn''t like Li Qinghe very much.


    Laixi smiled, "When I first came, I heard you say that the restaurant helper has enough buns, how could that be possible? The chef may be divided into one or two. It is luck for the little helper not to be resigned."


    "You are right." Li Qinghe agreed, "but can you please let me, you blocked my light."


    The atmosphere was not right, and a woman immediately pulled her away, and soon the kitchen resumed lively.


    Then everything went smoothly. The bride took it and opened the noodles. The Zhou family''s wedding was done in a satisfactory manner. After lunch, everyone helped to clean up the dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs, and the wedding was over.


    In the afternoon, Li Qinghe went to feed the fish, and came across Qian Laixi on the way back.


    "Oh, isn''t this Qinghe?" Qian Laixi paused and looked at her up and down, "Sure enough, it''s a Humeizi..."


    Li Qinghe frowned when she saw her, and slapped her when she heard her cursing, hitting her head to the side.


    Qian Laixi suddenly jumped up with anger.


    Without waiting for her question, Li Qinghe sneered, "Try another sentence!"


    Qian Laixi covered his face and cried, "You bully..."


    Li Qinghe looked at her with arms folded, "Don''t speak, don''t speak, you deserve to be beaten if your mouth is dirty!"


    Qian Lai burst into tears, feeling aggrieved, "Where did I say wrong? My brother does not come back when he went to town for you. He is busy and busy. The wedding is pushed back and forth. Why are you not Humeizi?"


    What''s wrong!


    Li Qinghe asked unceremoniously, "What does it matter to me to marry a wife?"


    Turning around and leaving, I was in a good mood, but now I am a little irritable. When passing by Zhou''s house, Zhou Chengkang saw her and said loudly, "Qinghe."


    Li Qinghe paused and looked at him suspiciously.


    Zhou Chengkang walked to her before saying, "I want to go into the mountain."


    "How dangerous it is to enter the mountains." Li Qinghe disagreed, "Don''t go."


    Zhou Chengkang smiled, "Are you going? Let''s go together?"


    This is okay, Li Qinghe''s eyes are bright, and Zhou Chengkang can''t go too deep into the woods with her, surely nothing will happen.


    Seeing that she was silent, Zhou Chengkang smiled and said, "I will pick you up tomorrow morning."


    After returning home, Li Qinghe told Li Fu about entering the mountain. Li Fu was a little unhappy, but he did not refuse to agree, only saying, "You follow Chengkang, don''t run around by yourself, remember to bring dry food."


    Li Qinghe responded, and Zhao Wanwan came out from the kitchen, "Sister, can you take me? I want to go too!"


    "No." Li Qinghe refused.


    Refusing too quickly, Zhao Wanwan stunned, "I will definitely not trouble you."


    "That won''t work either." Li Qinghe said directly, "What''s the matter with the two of us taking you into the mountain?"


    Zhao Wanwan''s face turned pale suddenly.


    One is because of Li Qinghe''s sudden cold attitude towards her, and the other is that these words allude to her not knowing how to measure.


    The next morning, Li Qinghe took dry food and water, and Zhou Chengkang arrived just after he packed up. The two of them went to the West Mountain. When the day was bright, the two were already halfway up the mountain. There are few people here, and there will be people besides cutting wood. Looking for mushrooms in a few days.


    Now is the time when there are wild mushrooms, but people who don''t recognize mushrooms generally don''t come. If poisonous mushrooms are picked, they will vomit and diarrhea.


    "Do you want to go?" Li Qinghe with his arms akimbo, "just switch careers here."


    Zhou Chengkang stopped, "Then take a break."


    When Li Qinghe sat down, he took out a hairpin from his sleeve, still with the fragrance of wood, and handed it to her, "Do you like it?"


    The smoothly polished hairpin was handed to him, his voice and eyes were very gentle, looking at her expectantly. Li Qinghe''s face suddenly became a little hot, and he reached out to take it, "I like it."


    Seeing her take it and take a closer look, Zhou Chengkang looked at the fine hairs on her white face, softly in his heart, and said softly, "I will carve you a hairpin for a lifetime! I don''t like this one, I will definitely do the next one. If you can do better, you will be satisfied."


    The two did not continue climbing the mountain, they entered the woods from the side. Zhou Chengkang was holding a bow and arrow in his hand. After half a day, he hit four rabbits. The two big ones hit the stomach, and the small one hit the legs. It was too small. Li Qinghe picked it up and took a look, and suggested, "Why don''t you keep it?"


    Zhou Chengkang laughed, "It''s up to you."


    Li Qinghe has picked a basket of mushrooms next to him, and he cut a large pile of firewood near the road. After the autumn harvest, those who are free will go up the mountain to chop wood for winter use.


    In many people¡¯s homes, wheat stalks are the first to be burned. Firewood is generally used for stewing soup or when people who cook have no time to add a fire, they only smoke a few sticks to burn. The Zhou family¡¯s wedding banquet had to burn a lot.


    On their way home, the two shot a pheasant. Zhou Chengkang was very happy, "Actually, it is a good time to hunt. I couldn''t hit so many before. If I can get better, I can definitely hit more today. "


    This is true. The two met a lot today, and most of them ran away.


    Li Qinghe was a little silent. She thought of Zhou Chengkang in her previous life, guarding her tombstone. At the beginning, she could only have food and clothing. Later, we could hang dried meat everywhere in the house, and there was no shortage of silver. The dim sum in the town could be changed. Change it in front of her grave every day.


    Seeing that she was silent and seemed to be thinking, Zhou Chengkang smiled and asked, "Do you want to eat meat? Give you a rabbit? Or do you want a pheasant?"


    Li Qinghe couldn''t help it, "You should be nice to yourself anyway." Today, he was running around in the woods, and his clothes were torn in several places. She pointed her finger and said, "Go back and take it off and I will help you make up."


    The corners of Zhou Chengkang''s mouth couldn''t help getting higher and higher. The two were talking. Someone behind them laughed and made a noise. Looking back, they saw several men carrying logs on their shoulders, quickly descending the mountain.


    The one who walked in the front was actually full of money, but he didn''t lift it, and was carrying a hatchet. Seeing Li Qinghe, his eyes were pleasantly surprised, and when he saw Zhou Chengkang who was carrying a firewood next to Li Qinghe, his smile suddenly faded, "Qinghe, are you going up the mountain?"


    Li Qinghe nodded and looked at the wood that those people were holding in a puzzled way.


    "Someone specifically asked for yellow wood to make furniture. We came to the woods to find it." Qian Laiman explained to her, and waved his hand to let them carry the wood first. Then he looked at Zhou Chengkang, "Brother Thursday, this is Chopping wood?" Seeing the rabbit in his hand again, "Ah, is this rabbit for sale?"


    "Not for sale!" Li Qinghe rebuffed.


    I was angry when I saw him. In the morning, his sister was making trouble for herself. It was a disaster. And when he asked questions, his tone was not right, as if Zhou Chengkang''s rabbit couldn''t be sold and he needed his support.

 Chapter 30： Comer

    It might be Li Qinghe who answered, Qian Laiman was surprised for a moment, and after the surprise, it was uncomfortable.


    The person she maintains this way is not him. Qian Laiman smiled embarrassedly, "They are still waiting for me. Since they are not selling, then I will leave."


    Watching him go down the mountain quickly, Zhou Chengkang was a little surprised at Li Qinghe''s impoliteness earlier, but he couldn''t tell that the kid hadn''t given up yet, his heart was just beautiful, "Qinghe, I think he has bad intentions, so ignore him later."


    Li Qinghe looked serious, "Today her cousin demolished my stage in front of so many people, saying that I am Hu Meizi."


    Angrily flashed in Zhou Chengkang''s eyes, and he didn''t forget to comfort her, "She is talking nonsense, don''t be angry."


    The two went down the mountain, hitting the hare and the pheasant, but they did not avoid others. When they arrived at the door of Zhou''s house, Zhou Chengkang took the two little rabbits back to her and returned a big one.


    Zhou''s family heard the movement and saw this scene when they came out. Zhou''s mother smiled and invited Li Qinghe to sit in, seemingly not dissatisfied.


    Li Qinghe also divided the mushrooms in half, and then took the rabbit back. It was getting late at this time. After dinner at home, Li Fu was surprised when she went out and saw her carrying the rabbit. "Are you still hitting the rabbit?" Seeing the mushrooms in Li Qinghe''s basket, "Can this be eaten?"


    Li Qinghe put down the things and shook his somewhat sour arm, "Yes. I picked two kinds of them, both of which were collected by someone in the town, so nothing will happen."


    Zhao Wanwan ran out of the house and was very happy to see the rabbit, "Is this for food?"


    Qian also stood at the door and watched for a long while.


    Li Fu took the fat rabbit to peel the skin. Zhao Wanwan helped Li Qinghe to clean up the mushrooms. The mushrooms were picked back with a lot of soil and dead leaves. They had to be cleaned and boiled, and then they could be fried or stewed. Qian glanced at the sisters, then sneered, "It''s not hard enough."


    Li Qinghe has always been unafraid of the Qians, so he pushed back on the spot, "I didn''t ask for your help again!"


    Qian came in, "Don''t say I won''t help you, I don''t dare to eat it, in case it is poisonous."


    After finishing talking, she entered the door and picked up the needle and thread again. Zhao Wanwan kept her head down and concentrated on working. Li Qinghe glanced at her and asked in a low voice, "Do you think your mother seems lazy?"


    Although it was a bit of something to say to her mother, Li Qinghe couldn¡¯t help it. She didn¡¯t know when she left the town before. During the time she was at home, she discovered that the Qian family rarely moved with Li Fu on his back. She didn''t know how to do it, just didn''t want to do it. Many things, such as cooking, cleaning the yard, feeding chickens, including collecting eggs, were mostly done by Zhao Wanwan.


    Zhao Wanwan smiled, "My mother asked me to do more and it would be good for me. If it weren''t for this, the Hu family might not look after me."


    Co-authored by Hu''s family, is it because you can work?


    Li Qinghe thought for a while, it seemed that this was indeed the case, and there was nothing to say at the moment. The two of them arranged it very quickly, and quickly boiled the water and boiled it again, and it was a small pot.


    Zhao Wanwan looked at the smooth and tender mushrooms after washing, and smiled, "Sister, I really want to go. Why don''t we find more people tomorrow? Sister Qingmiao over there, she has to go too."


    "If you have time, let''s talk about it." Li Qinghe replied casually, she doesn''t necessarily have to run like this every day.


    The next morning, Li Qingmiao came over early in the morning. After entering the yard, he asked enthusiastically, "Qinghe, I heard that you caught the little rabbit yesterday? Let me see."


    Li Qinghe was washing, and pointed to the cage in the corner.


    Li Qingmiao quickly went over and squatted down, teasing for a long time, and said, "Unfortunately, the second brother can''t hunt, Qinghe, if you catch it again in the future, can you feed me?"


    Seeing her full of expectation, Li Qinghe laughed, "Do you like little rabbits or eat rabbit meat?"


    Li Qingmiao glared at her, "Can''t I like both of them?"


    At this time, there was another woman standing outside the yard. It was the neighbor of Li Qinghe''s house and the surname was Li, but both of them were in their forties and had no children. "Qinghe, I heard that your house is holding a rabbit? "


    Li Qinghe looked up when he heard the words, saw her, smiled and said, "It''s the third aunt, this rabbit is being raised after being injured, and I don''t know if it can be supported."


    The third aunt walked in and squatted down, "Is it okay to be killed by the time of the Chinese New Year?"


    Li Qinghe, "..." One by one, they focused on other people''s meat.


    The three of them were looking at the rabbit. A woman walked by with a smile and smiled at several people, "There is a rare thing at the entrance of the village. Someone brought some people over and asked if you want to buy it?"


    The few people looked at each other. This is really a rare event that hasn''t happened in many years. Everyone has heard about the sale of people, but there is a special place in the county town. This is the first time it has been sent to the village.


    "Look at it." Li Qingmiao went to the well to fetch water and wash her hands, and did not forget to say hello, "Qinghe, go together."


    When the three of them arrived at the entrance of the village, a lot of people were already surrounded by the big tree. The woman who had informed them was not there, and a steady stream of people continued to surround him in the distance.


    A man in his forties with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek was enthusiastic and said, "The price of the header is negotiable. For example, she..."


    He pointed his finger at a fair-skinned girl, "Eight taels of silver."


    The village chief frowned, "Don''t be here. Ordinary farmers don''t have the money. Besides, ordinary farmers can''t keep maids and slaves. If they fail, they will become merchants. The grain tax on the land can be 10% higher."


    This is not so much addressed to the man as it is to the people watching the excitement around him.


    Hearing this, the people who were talking about it looked at each other, and those who had the idea also converged.


    The man didn''t get angry either, he smiled and stepped forward, "Are you an elder in the village? After hearing your words, have you read the law?"


    The village chief nodded, "So, you... take it away."


    "You don''t know. Most of the girls I brought are all alone. If the people in your village intend to marry a wife, I will treat them as a husband. They are reliable and there are few bachelors in the village. If you don¡¯t make trouble, I¡¯ll charge a matchmaker¡¯s money. Everyone will benefit each other.¡± The man became more energetic when he saw the approval of the people around him. ?"


    The village head''s complexion was not very good, but someone at the side had already approached and asked, and in the end five women remained.


    The man happily took the rest of the people away, but found that a thin girl in the corner seemed to be asleep. He kicked two feet and didn''t respond. He frowned and squatted down to take a look. His face flushed. Fever.


    It looked like a fever, but he didn''t dare to take it back. If he got the rest, he would lose out. I didn''t care about it now, and left with those people.


    As soon as he left, the crowd watching the excitement also planned to go home, but someone spotted the remaining girl sharp-eyed. Only when he walked over did they find that she was too sick.


    Immediately someone asked the village chief, "His uncle, what should I do?"


    It''s really difficult. If this person is really dead, every family will do their best to bury it, but this girl prefers a good one, so she can''t die.


    With that clear mind, he said quickly, "The man didn''t want her just now, did he dislike her for being sick and can''t sell her, or would her disease itself be infected by others?"


    Everyone couldn''t help but step back as soon as he said this. Li Qinghe also guessed that it was probably the case.


    When everyone backed away, the thin girl lying in the middle was particularly conspicuous, but the third aunt next to him stepped forward and bent over to touch the girl''s forehead, "If we don''t care, it would be too pitiful. Why don''t I take it back and see Can you save it?"


    Nowadays, many people are showing disapproval expressions. Some people in this ordinary family are sick and dying. One cannot work, and secondly, it costs too much to seek medical advice. Where can they bring patients home? ? If he is dead, it is not bad enough.


    Besides, the third aunt doesn''t have a child. If he has a son, he can take him home for treatment. If he is saved, he will be a ready-made daughter-in-law. But the third aunt took it back...what''s the picture?


    Those close to me stepped forward to persuade, but the third aunt had a right idea, "Anyway, it is a life."


    I still can''t persuade me.


    The third aunt took the person back and asked Zhou Chengkang to go to the town to find a doctor. Li Qinghe also went to her house. The **** the bed looked thin, fair skin, and had several calluses on her fingers.


    Li Qinghe has heard the Xu family say that those who often embroider have cocoons.


    With Zhou Chengkang''s carriage, the doctor came very quickly. After taking the pulse, he shook his head and said, "It''s hot like this, do everything." After two sets of medicine were prepared, Zhou Chengkang was sent back.


    The doctor left, and Li Qinghe went back. She hasn''t fed her fish today, but the third aunt didn''t interact with their family in the past. I didn''t expect to be so kind and surprising.


    After two days of calm, Li Qinghe went to the pond to feed the fish in the afternoon, and passed by the door of the third aunt''s house, and was called, "Qinghe."


    Li Qinghe was puzzled, "My third aunt called me?"


    The third aunt was a little embarrassed, "Auntie wants to ask you for a favor."


    Li Qinghe came in and saw that she was adding hot water to the basin. The third aunt reached out to test the water and said, "Qinghe, I want to help your girl wipe her body, but I''m alone in fear of letting her catch a cold too late, you help me Twisting the kerchief can also hurry up."


    This is fine. Li Qinghe followed her in. The **** the bed fell asleep, but her complexion had returned to ruddy and her appearance was only beautiful, but because of her fair skin, she looked better than many girls in this village.


    Li Qinghe helped twist the kerchief, and the third aunt wiped it. She wiped most of it quickly. When she turned over the **** the bed, her brows frowned and her eyes opened.


    The third aunt was overjoyed, "Are you awake?"


    The girl''s first reaction was to pull the quilt to cover herself, and when she saw the two women in the room, she seemed to be relieved when she was helping her to wipe her body. I looked around the house and was surprised, "Where is this? Countryside?"


    Li Qinghe''s eyelids twitched. Seeing her so surprised, should this girl not live in the country?


    The third aunt went to check her forehead, "How are you? Do you remember what your name is? Is there anything uncomfortable? Would you like to ask the doctor again?"


    The girl''s face gradually became frightened, "Where is this!"


    Li Qinghe sighed and said, "This is Wangcun, Luoyue Town."


    "Ah!" The girl covered her head, "What the hell, why am I here?"


    Li Qinghe explained to her, "Someone brought a group of you to the village to sell, and if you were sick, they left you behind. It was the aunt who didn''t see you being sick and was thrown at the village mouth before bringing you back and asking you for a doctor. You have been asleep for two days, and if you don¡¯t wake up, you may not be able to wake up in your life. If your aunt hadn¡¯t brought you back, you probably wouldn¡¯t be able to."


    In the last sentence, the tone was deliberately emphasized. The third aunt was embarrassed, "Saving a life, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue is nothing."


    The girl held her head, "You let me be quiet."


    The two cleaned up their pots and went out. The third aunt was a little worried, "Would you like to see the doctor again?"


    Li Qinghe shook his head, "No, the doctor said that she will be fine when she wakes up? If she feels unwell later, it won''t be too late to see the doctor."


    The third aunt nodded, "Then you go quickly. I will delay you for a long time. Aunty made the soup, and I will send you some past."


    "No." Li Qinghe refused hurriedly, knowing that it was the sick person inside without thinking.


    When I ran to feed the fish and came back, I saw the girl standing in the yard watching around. When I saw Li Qinghe, she barely smiled, "Thank you just now. I want to ask, how long will it take to go to the county? "

 Chapter 31： Far-reaching

    Li Qinghe hadn''t been there either, but Zhou Chengkang had been there, and the person who sold the fry to her also said, "With a carriage, it will take about two days."


    The girl was a little bit sullen and unwilling to give up, "then there is a carriage from town to the county seat?"


    "Basically no, but you can find the carriage yourself." When saying this, Li Qinghe looked at the girl''s clothes without a trace. They all belonged to the third aunt. I remember that when I brought her back, she seemed to be quite simple. One of his single clothes, without any jewellery on his body, probably has nothing to hide.


    Simply put, there is no silver. Then she can''t go, let alone if she really wants to leave, she should actually return the medicine and chicken soup to the third aunt. For the dealers, these are not small expenses.


    "That''s it." The girl said in a low tone, and asked again, "Is anyone in town collecting embroidery?"


    "Yes, the Zhangjia Cloth Shop in the town collects embroideries in it." Li Qinghe thought of the cocoon in her hand, and continued, "There are some more delicate embroidery at a high price."


    The girl''s eyes lit up, "Thank you." Then she remembered something, "My surname is Yu, Yu Yan."


    The third aunt came out from the house, carrying a bowl of black medicine, and said with a smile, "Qinghe, have you fed the fish back so soon?"


    "Qinghe?" Yu Yan wondered, "What is your last name?"


    Li Qinghe smiled, "My surname is Li. Many people in Wangcun have the surname Li."


    After such a delay, the sun is about to go down. She just took the time to dry the quilt and have to go back to collect it. If it is dyed with autumn dew, it will be white. "I have to go back. My family lives here," Li Qinghe pointed to. My yard, "If you are free, you can come and talk to me."


    When I returned home, I saw Zhao Wanwan looking out from the gate of the yard, and when she saw her coming back, she asked in a low voice, "She really woke up."


    Li Qinghe casually said, "I woke up, it looks like it should be better."


    "It looks like she was sold secretly?" Zhao Wanwan followed her, "Isn''t there an old man in the village who said that the aunt of the big family would sell the unloved concubine secretly? Will she? It''s also... If that''s the case, then the third aunt and the others are really lucky."


    Think about it a lot.


    Li Qinghe went directly to the backyard to collect the quilt, took it back to the room and sew it again. It was too cold in winter, and it wouldn''t be possible without a thick quilt. She was sent back by the Xu family two years ago.


    It was not early, and the sun was gone. Li Qinghe opened the door and brightened his eyes. Zhao Wanwan came in again and stood by to help her tidy up, "Sister, when is your wedding date?"


    Li Qinghe casually said, "I just made a marriage appointment, it''s still early. At least next year."


    Zhao Wanwan sighed, "I want to get married soon. You know about my marriage. If I don''t get married, I always feel uneasy. If I retired..."


    Li Qinghe didn''t want to pay attention to these words, pretending to concentrate on sewing the quilt, and after a while, Zhao Wanwan said again, "If I could have fifty taels of silver, you said."


    Externally, Li Qinghe bought the fry after buying the land, but the money was not enough, and everyone thought that Xu had paid for her. No one knows how she taught the aunt to make cakes, and naturally no one knows that she has made a few taels of silver and has not spent it. Even if it was the person who saw her making pie in the bun shop that day, and seeing her never visited again, most of them thought it was her former helper, and the aunt asked her to do a day¡¯s work, but she would never think that the pie was made. from.


    Therefore, Zhao Wanwan said this, not because she wanted her talent, but probably still wanted her to help persuade Li Fu.


    After so many days, she didn''t know in private, but in front of her, she didn''t see Qian and Zhao Wanwan persuade Li Fu again.


    Every family is busy cleaning the ground, and those who are free are also cutting wood for the winter. Li Qinghe was not idle either. She wanted to ask someone to circle a piece of land. After the spring next year, she would raise chickens. She also wanted to open another piece of land. Next year, if she doesn¡¯t get anything, that piece of land will be really useless. She has it in her hands, and now that the wasteland is bought by her, there will be no grain tax for the first three years, 50% will be harvested after three years, and 50% will be harvested for seven years. After ten years, the land will be as ordinary Taxes are over, if you don¡¯t get paid, don¡¯t pay taxes and grains.


    Therefore, she had to hire someone, and relying on her and Zhou Chengkang would not be able to do much.


    No matter how you think about it, I think it¡¯s good to ask her uncle¡¯s family, or ask them to find a few more people, then they can still let Liu cook, and it¡¯s the easiest way to pay her. As for the family, Qian can''t count on it.


    So, she went to Li Xingwang''s house early the next morning, and the family got up. Li Qinghe expressed her intentions, and Liu immediately responded, "Bring the food, and I will help you make it."


    Li Xingwang scolded, "If I have food at home, what kind of food?"


    Li Qinghe hurriedly said, "That can''t be done, one yard goes to one yard. Uncle is willing to work and it is already a great help for me. How can you make up for it yourself?"


    When these words came out, Liu''s stiff complexion improved a lot, and he said readily, "Auntie helps you, I don''t have to pay for it, you can just eat."


    She wouldn¡¯t be upset because Liu¡¯s unwillingness to subsidize food. Originally, people didn¡¯t need to subsidize her a niece who hadn¡¯t been in contact for many years. The love came out of her. For the sake of the two elderly people, she was even willing. Let Liu take advantage of it.


    After returning from the back, she took the money and planned to go to the town to buy grain. Now that she and Zhou Chengkang have already made a relationship, she naturally finds him with him. He bought the grain quickly and didn''t have to carry it himself.


    Today is not the fair. There should not be many people going to the town, but as soon as they left the village, they saw a girl walking slowly by the road.


    When I came closer, it was Yu Yan.


    She was still a little sickly pale. She saw the carriage and waved her hand. When she saw Li Qinghe in front of the carriage clearly, she smiled and said, "Qinghe, can you take me a ride?" She added, "I will pay the money, but Gotta owe it."


    Seeing too much Zhao Wanwan and Qian''s retreat for advancement, the girl took the initiative to retreat, the girl said frankly that without the talent, it made people feel much more cute. The carriage stopped and let her into it.


    The carriage arrived in the town very quickly. After a quarter of an hour, the carriage had stopped at the entrance of the town. Li Qinghe showed her the way before going to buy food with Zhou Chengkang. After buying food and passing by Auntie¡¯s bun shop, I bought a few more buns, and there were a few cakes of the kind she made before. Li Qinghe smiled and asked, "How are you now?"


    The aunt smiled and shook her head, "Fengji is okay. I can''t sell a few at ordinary times. I will just help make it." She lowered her voice, "Blame me reluctant to use the ingredients, the fine noodles and rice are expensive."


    Li Qinghe only saw that she had already replaced the white rice with yellow rice. No wonder... But the aunt has been in business for many years, and she didn''t persuade her, she knew it well.


    Thinking of hearing her dating, Xu specifically ran back to ask, Li Qinghe bought some snacks and went to the cloth shop.


    The cloth village is still the same. Xu still watched the child practice calligraphy in the backyard. She was very happy for Li Qinghe''s arrival. "Take the dim sum back. I don''t lack this food. It''s good if you come and see me often. "


    Then he whispered about Zhao Wanwan¡¯s marriage, ¡°Originally, the Hu family had already agreed with the people in Liucun. It was Zhao Tianfu who ran to Hu¡¯s family to make a fuss. Hu¡¯s mother and son didn¡¯t dare to change their minds and asked a matchmaker. Xiaoding. Many people in the town know this."


    Li Qinghe didn''t know this. She suddenly remembered that Qian''s quietly ran out to meet Zhao Tianfu that morning, mostly because of this marriage.


    Xu''s sneered, "I don''t know what your father thinks when he knows that the daughter-in-law he misses and Wanwan''s father are still in contact."


    If you know it, you will definitely make trouble. Don''t look at Li Fuping''s accommodating Qian, and she is reluctant to cry, but her temper is quite fierce. But Zhao Wanwan was sandwiched between the two, and it was unrealistic not to communicate.


    Li Qinghe suspiciously said, "The Hu family has a high attitude. The first time he came to ask for my pond, he came back to Xiaoding and said that he would have a betrothal gift of five or two." The high-ranking sentence "Please discuss with yourself" does not seem to be threatened. appearance.


    The Xu family sneered, "Dare to hit you with an idea, and see if I don''t tear her up! What kind of betrothal gift is nothing. With Zhao Tianfu, who is a savage messenger, the Hu family has to marry his daughter obediently if he doesn''t want it."


    She remembered something, and asked, "Have you mentioned that you will put the land under the name of the Hu family?"


    Li Qinghe was silent.


    Seeing her expression, Xu''s face was cold, "She Qian''s knows how to do it. This is linked to his name, and that is the son-in-law. If Li Fu''s legs are gone, would anyone in the Li family ask him for land? No? When he really becomes a talent, who would dare to ask him for land? You are your father''s only child. All the land and houses in this family should be yours! Give her Zhao Wanwan, and you won''t be afraid of choking to death!"


    Sure enough, **** is still old and spicy, thinking so far-reaching.


    But it''s really too far, that nonsense Xi Tongsheng is not yet, Xiu Cai is still early.


    Before Li Qinghe left, Xu Shi gave her another piece of cloth, "Take it, make some clothes for Chengkang, don''t you want to go to the ground, you also make two more sets." Then he muttered, "I don''t know what''s in the countryside. Okay, get tanned carefully."


    She came out with a piece of cloth in her arms, and saw Yu Yan at the counter flipping through a booklet. The guy on the side reminded her to be careful with a serious face and asked, "Can you embroider?"


    Yu Yan was already a little annoyed, but she held her back, pointing to a few complicated tricks and asking the price, waiting for the buddy to get the fabric, and seeing Li Qinghe coming out, she hurriedly said, "Qinghe, wait for me. I''ll be fine right away, you take me a ride by the way." He added, "When I embroider these patterns, I will definitely give you money."


    Li Qinghe glanced at the pattern on the booklet. Few people in this town know how to do it. If they really know how to embroider, they should make a lot of money.

 Chapter 32： Include v announcement

    Seeing Li Qinghe looking at the booklet, Yu Yan took two pieces of embroidery and fabric to go out with her, and laughed in a low voice, "If you want to learn, I can teach you."


    "Okay." Li Qinghe responded. In fact, she felt that she couldn''t do such meticulous work, but she should learn some simple things. Looking at the village, there are really no people who can embroider.


    After returning home, Li Qinghe directly carried the grain to Li Xingwang''s side, but did not take it home at all. She agreed to start work tomorrow before she went back.


    In the yard, Zhao Wanwan was squatting next to the rabbit and teasing. When she saw her, she would inevitably think of Xu''s words. Even without a dowry, the Hu family dare not marry her. In fact, it''s not bad to have a dad who is not stingy.


    It is conceivable that the Hu family will be threatened by Zhao Tianfu now, and then the higher Hu Yanxi''s position, the more he cares about fame, the more he will accommodate. Then Zhao Wanwan''s life will be easy. Speaking of it, Zhao Wanwan looks pitiful, but in fact, the maintenance of her two fathers is much better than her life.


    Hearing the movement, Zhao Wanwan turned around and saw Li Qinghe, and smiled, "It''s very beautiful, sister, shall we catch it again?"


    In a blink of an eye I saw the cloth she was holding in her hands, "Sister bought the cloth? Do you want to do dowry?"


    Li Qinghe gave a hum, turned a blind eye to the expression in her eyes glued to the fabric, and took it directly into the door.


    At dinner in the evening, Qian said with a smile, "Qinghe brought back the fabric today. Is it the dowry? Can you move some for your father? He hasn''t made new clothes for two years."


    Li Qinghe is speechless, co-author Li Fu has something to do with her if she doesn''t make new clothes?


    However, the fabric can also be given to Li Fu, "It is not a good fabric, my mother gave it to me, and I have to cut some out."


    Qian guessed that Xu gave it to him. Who would buy a whole piece of cloth for normal people? Even if so many people from Zhou''s family make new clothes together, they don''t need a single piece of cloth.


    Qian didn''t care much, "That''s not bad, Wanwan..."


    Li Fu glared at her, "Eat or not!"


    The meal is naturally to be eaten. There was some rabbit meat left yesterday. Zhao Wanwan did not bury her head in a word and chewed happily. After finishing eating, she was still looking after the bones on the table and said, "If only I could hunt as well."


    The next morning, Li Qinghe took a knife and a **** and went to the field early in the morning, and opened up wasteland today.


    As long as it doesn''t rain, I basically go to the fields. Li Xingwang''s family, together with her and Zhou Chengkang, are still quite a lot of people. They have to do a lot of work in a day, and they are mainly not lazy.


    Li Fu only came to see him occasionally, and Li Qinghe also understood that he had to take care of his large tracts of land by himself. In addition, every time he came, Li Kui must stab him a few words. Li Fu and Li Kui, father and son, met every time. I must pinch, I feel that the other party owes myself.


    After the autumn harvest, there were several happy events in the village. In a blink of an eye, the day of Zhou Chengwu entering the family of Zui Li came. This marriage was much more lively than his elder brother. The more demanding woman will also ask her son-in-law to change her surname.


    Of course, Li Qingmiao didn''t have her parents, so Li Qingmiao walked to Zhou''s house, and kowtowed Zhou''s mother with Zhou Chengwu, and then the two returned to Li''s house to kowtow to them, even if it was a gift.


    Li Qinghe also went to help cutting vegetables and cleaning. Compared with Zhou''s family, she and Li Qingmiao were more familiar and closer.


    Many people are discussing that this time, it''s Zhou Lao San''s turn.


    It was indeed Zhou Lao San''s turn. Within a few days, news came from Zhou''s family that Zhou Chengcai''s wedding was on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, just two months away.


    The Zhou family''s happy event this year envied many people. It seems that there were not many people last year, and it will be lively this year.


    Li Qinghe and the others opened up the wasteland for a full month, and they opened up more than three acres of land. The newly opened land was thinner except for the soil, which looked quite flat, and she picked up all the small rocks inside. It took another ten days to circle a piece of land and build a simple chicken shed. Just wait for the warm weather after the Chinese New Year to start feeding the chickens.


    It was already winter, and although there were still people working outside, Li Qinghe felt that it was unnecessary. He went to Li Xingwang¡¯s house and paid them 15 liters a day. Basically, people in the village go out to do part-time jobs at this price. , And did not lose anyone.


    Li Kui¡¯s ancestors and grandsons, including her milk and Liu¡¯s, make a total of five people, but Liu¡¯s life and death do not require wages, and more than a month¡¯s wages are not old or young. After seeing it, Liu resolutely returned it to her, "I can¡¯t ask for it. At the beginning, I said that if I help you cook, you can take care of me. If people know that I will cook for you, you will be charged for your wages. I am afraid that it will be a laugh. Besides, your sister has eaten, wouldn¡¯t it be necessary for me? Give you food?"


    In the end, the old couple Li Kui didn''t want any wages, Li Qinghe gave them hard and ran out quickly.


    More than a month''s wages plus the food bought back cost her nearly four taels of silver. There is not much left in the family. Fortunately, the fish in the pond has slowly grown up. When they are sold during the New Year, there should be another one. Income.


    It was cold outside now, and basically no one was hanging out. When he was about to get home, Li Qinghe saw a slender figure from a distance, and only when he approached, he saw Yu Yan.


    Since Yu Yan took the embroidery job, she has been embroidering in the house or in the yard all day long. She can¡¯t go out in time, don¡¯t look at her coming for nearly two months, but there are still many people in the village who don¡¯t know her.


    From that day, she woke up to inquire about the way to the county seat, and never heard of her mentioning about going. Occasionally, Li Qinghe would hear the third aunt say that Yu Yan was very polite, and knew that she would be grateful and would give them some of the money earned from embroidery.


    Yu Yan said hello first and smiled. She looked in a good mood and body, with a hint of blush on her cheeks, "Qinghe, it''s so cold, where have you been?"


    Li Qinghe replied casually, "Go to my uncle''s house, how about you?"


    Yu Yan''s face blushed, and Li Qinghe saw this and felt aggrieved. She really asked casually and didn''t mean to inquire, but now that she looked like this, it seemed that something was going on. It looks like... spring heart is sprouting.


    She didn''t mean to listen to other people''s secrets, turned around and walked in, and asked with a polite smile, "Would you like to come in and sit?"


    "Okay." Yu Yan responded.


    She was so refreshed, Li Qinghe was taken aback, she was really just being polite, but she didn''t expect Yu Yan to be very polite.


    After reacting, he hurriedly greeted, "Then come in quickly."


    Taking her to her house, the house became much warmer. Li Qinghe also lighted the brazier and brushed away the ashes on the charcoal fire. The house became warmer. She raised her hand to pour the warm tea on the side and passed it over. He smiled and said, "I told you to learn embroidery with you. I was not free a few days ago. Starting from tomorrow, I will probably be free."


    Hearing that, Yu Yan was not upset, and she smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s better than I come to your side. It¡¯s a bit cold in my room. I don¡¯t know how to light a fire. The **** taught me several times that I still can¡¯t, and often extinguish. ...I''m still a little uncomfortable."


    "Do you want to go home?" Li Qinghe puts charcoal into it, the more it burns, the stronger the fire.


    "I used to think, now..." Yu Yan thought of something, a smile on her lips was in a daze, and she quickly recovered, "I heard that you saved Master Xu, right?"


    Xu Changjie?


    Li Qinghe was very busy during this period, and she fell asleep when she came back, and she did not have time to recall the bad things in her previous life, and she deliberately no longer interacted with him, and hadn''t seen or heard him for a long time.


    Seeing the curiosity and shyness on her face, Li Qinghe smiled a little, "I saved it, how did you know him?"


    Yu Yan''s face was a little bit more shy, "I often go to town to send embroidery products, I have met several times, and have been together twice." At the end, her voice became lower and lower, "Have you ever been to him? ..."


    Raising her eyes to meet Li Qinghe¡¯s expression, she explained, ¡°At that time, you almost lost your life to save him. Many people said that you might have a heart for him, but I don¡¯t know why you didn¡¯t make a marriage agreement. I would take the liberty to ask why you saved him. He didn''t propose marriage?"


    "Because he has a sweetheart." Li Qinghe said frankly, "What can''t be obtained is always the best. The girl''s family won''t agree to this marriage. I don''t want to marry someone who doesn''t even have me in her eyes."


    "That''s it." Yu Yan thoughtfully, "Thank you for telling me this." She took out a new silk kerchief and embroidered an unopened orchid on her head. It was very delicate, "This is for you. "


    Li Qinghe took it, admired it for a while, and handed it back to her, "It''s too expensive, you can change it for silver."


    Yu Yan put it in her hands again, "Just hold it and play with it. This news is very important to me. Besides, you and Brother Thursday helped me a lot when I didn''t wake up, and it was time to send a thank you gift. "


    After saying a few more words, Li Qinghe sent her out and looked back when she watched her enter the yard next door. She really did not expect Yu Yan to meet Xu Changjie. This girl did not appear in the village in her previous life. Does he have to marry an original partner? Nothing? Can''t wait a year?


    If possible, she really wants to persuade. This Yu Yan looks pretty good, but she is an adult, and she is from outside. She has more experience and thoughts than her. She said all these things, and she should be able to figure it out by herself.


    The weather is getting colder and colder. Since that day, Yu Yan has really come to embroider. Li Qinghe also followed her to learn some simple things. After half a month, she gradually began to look a little bit.


    On this day, the two of them embroidered in the house again, and the third aunt was also there. Some people occasionally talked about interesting things in the village, but they were also relaxed.


    The atmosphere was harmonious, and someone knocked on the door outside, knocking quickly and quickly, as if something was urgent.


    Li Qinghe opened the door and saw an unexpected person standing at the gate of the courtyard.


    ¡ª¡ªXu Chang questioned his mother.


    She still came back with Zhao Wanwan as a helper in the town. Mother Xu met her when she asked her to make a bullock cart. After that, she only saw it from a distance. I didn''t expect her to come back again.


    More than that, she seemed to be angry, and violently shook the fenced courtyard gate that was already shaky, "Open the door, I have something!"


    Qian went to open the door, "Her aunt, what''s the matter?"


    Li Fu also went out and stood in the yard, frowning and watching.


    At this point, those who come are not good.

 Chapter 33： Two in one

    Qian''s door opened a gap, and Xu''s mother squeezed in, "Is that Yu whose surname is in your house?"


    Surnamed Yu?


    Li Fu''s brows were slightly loose when I was looking for Yu Yan. Now that his daughter has decided on a marriage, it won''t be easy to cause any major disturbances.


    Li Qinghe was surprised, turned around to look at Yu Yan, who was looking more cautious, and asked in a low voice, "What''s the matter?"


    She smiled and went out to the yard sideways, "Auntie, go to my house and say, this is someone else''s house, we can''t bother you."


    The third aunt also came out of the house, a little confused about the situation in front of her, but together with Yu Yan, she invited Xu''s mother to go home.


    "Why? I''m afraid that the thing about you picking up the man will be known by others. I''m not, I''ll just say it here..." She didn''t look at the third aunt, but at Li Fu and Qian, and pointed at Yu Yan, "This The girl is shameless and embroidered the purse with a mandarin duck in our family. There is no relationship between you, and the girls from the county are all the virtues?"


    The third aunt''s face was pale, and Yu Yan hurriedly helped her to comfort her in a low voice.


    This is really ugly.


    New Year''s Eve is still a month away. Some people in the village are already preparing for the New Year''s goods, and the taste of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger. At this time, Xu''s mother came to the house to make trouble, saying that she was looking for Yu Yan to settle the account, but she did not pay attention to the Li family.


    Li Fu heard that her eyebrows were slightly loose when she was looking for Yu Yan, but when she saw that she was so sloppy, her face was hard to look like, and said, "Can you go out to make a noise?


    "Isn''t your family the same?" She stretched out her hand and pointed at Li Qinghe, and sneered. "Dare you say that there was no other intention to save my son?"


    It''s like a mad dog, coming to bite people.


    Li Qinghe was not angry, and sneered with arms folded, "Thinking!"


    When Xu¡¯s mother heard this, she almost jumped up, "Look, you admit it!" He looked at Li Fu and emphasized, "I didn''t say this."


    Li Fu looked bad, gave Li Qinghe a look and motioned her to enter the house. The wind and moon incidents cause trouble, and the girl always suffers.


    Li Qinghe stretched out her hands, "I understand very well, I just want your Xu family''s gratitude." She raised her hand and pointed to the west, "Have you seen my wasteland? It was bought with your ten taels of silver. If I didn¡¯t save your son, your son dies, and I have no land. We all lose out, right?"


    "Speaking of saving your son..." Li Qinghe remembered something generally, "I remember that Wanwan and I rescued again later. Your Xu family hasn''t said yet, when will you send your thanks?"


    Hearing this, Zhao Wanwan rushed out of the room quickly, "Auntie, are you here to give a thank you gift?"


    He looked at Li Qinghe again, "Sister, this seers have a share, so I should share half of it."


    Xu''s mother choked, but she didn''t expect them to be so careless, and if she pulled it off, she might not be able to give a thank you gift.


    So I looked at Yu Yan again, mainly because she nervously helped her third aunt to go home. She was already walking out of the yard, that is, towards Xu''s mother.


    When she passed by Xu''s mother, she was caught by her, "You make it clear, don''t pester my son again!"


    Yu Yan held her third aunt here, unable to break free, but said, "Let him tell me this by himself."


    The third aunt patted Yu Yan''s hand and looked at Xu''s mother, "They said that one slap won''t make a sound. This purse can''t be tied to your son by my daughter, right? I take advantage of it and now rely on us, no more I have seen such a shameless person."


    Li Qinghe was stunned secretly, listening to the meaning in Yu Yan''s words, it was not that she was sentimental, but Xu Changjie also responded?


    Xu''s mother laughed in anger, "My son is softhearted, and I am embarrassed to refuse you."


    At this time, Xu Changjie appeared outside the fence yard. There was a pink scar on his face where he was injured. It seemed that he had used good medicine. It was much better than Li Qinghe expected.


    There were more people at the door, and everyone in the yard looked out and saw him panting, as if he was running.


    When Yu Yan saw him, her tone was still calm, "Your mother said, what she meant is what you meant. It''s not easy for you to reject me, is that right?"


    "It''s not like that." Xu Changjie opened the door of the yard and walked in, and stretched out his hand to pull his mother. "What are you going to do when you come to someone else''s house for the Chinese New Year? If you have something to say, don''t pull it."


    "Do you think I am troubled?" Mother Xu pointed her nose at her, "If it weren''t for you, I wouldn''t come here to provoke people. You are embarrassed to refuse, I''ll help you!"


    Xu Changjie took her away and smiled apologetically at Li Fu and Qian, and whispered to her mother, "Go back." While speaking, he apologized and looked at the third aunt, "Aunty, sorry." The voice said to Yu Yan, "I''ll look for you when I turn around."


    Mother Xu was dragged out of the yard, still reluctant, "You can''t mess with her, don''t think you are a man, but you also want to be famous. Entangling with others ruined your reputation, then can someone be willing to..."


    What Li Qinghe is more curious about is, who is "people"?


    Seeing the mother and son going away, Zhao Wanwan looked at Li Qinghe several times and stopped talking. She couldn''t help but shouted, "Auntie, don''t forget."


    Don''t forget something but didn''t say it.


    But everyone at the scene knew that Zhao Wanwan asked about thanks.


    In fact, the Xu family should have come to thank Xu Changjie to go back home and thank you, even if you just uttered a few words, but after so long, the surprise in Xu''s mother''s eyes when Li Qinghe only mentioned it, maybe even she herself forgot This thing.


    As the mother and son walked away, Yu Yan turned her head, her expression still calm, "Second Uncle and Aunt, I''m sorry about today." She looked at Li Qinghe again, "You are being scolded for following me, sorry."


    The third aunt also apologized, and then pulled Yu Yan, a little annoyed, "Go back and make it clear!"


    "What a crazy woman." Qian sighed, "Fortunately, Qinghe didn''t marry back then. If she was such an in-law..."


    "What nonsense? When is Qinghe going to marry Xu''s family? Why don''t I know as a dad?" Li Fu was unhappy, seeing Qian looking at the direction where the mother and son disappeared, and scolded, "Isn''t it cold? Hurry into the house."


    Li Qinghe also sighed. In her life, she had never mentioned that she was going to marry the Xu family, but it seemed that many people agreed that she was interested in Xu Changjie.


    After they got married, no one should say.


    She returned to the house and continued to embroider. After a while, Zhao Wanwan ran in, holding the soles in her hands, "Sister, do you think the Xu family will give thanks?"


    "I don''t know." Li Qinghe shook his head, probably because of Xu''s mother''s unshakable temperament.


    After Xu¡¯s mother came that day, Yu Yan did not come there for several days, but seven or eight days later, she resumed her days of coming with needles and threads every day, and she sighed, ¡°I really don¡¯t know how to light this brazier. Yes, I never knew I was such a stupid person."


    Li Qinghe laughed, "You haven''t done this since you were a kid, and you definitely can''t learn it all of a sudden." Then curiously asked her, "I didn''t hear you say that you want to go home. Do you want to go back after the beginning of spring?"


    Yu Yan laughed, "I won''t come back. I embroider to support myself. It''s good here. Anyway, I don''t have any family members. My godfather and godmother saved my life. I will stay here in the future to give them the end of their care."

 ~： The first time I heard her talk about her family and future plans.

    Without family, if you are used to living in this small place, there is really no need to go back.


    After a while, she tentatively asked, "Did the Xu family give you a thank you gift?"


    "No." Li Qinghe shook his head, "I didn''t expect them to send it. I saw a **** person by the road in the morning, and I couldn''t watch them die!"


    Yu Yan thoughtfully, "It seems that the Xu family is really not good."


    Li Qinghe agreed, and she didn''t want to mention Xu''s family. She smiled and said, "If you live in the village, you don''t know anyone. There will be a happy event in the Zhou family in a few days. Would you like to help with me?"


    "Okay." Yu Yan answered her accent, and teased her again, "Brother Thursday is a nice person. Haven''t you been feeding fish these days?"


    Most of them were fed by Zhou Chengkang.


    Li Qinghe was not ashamed, and smiled and nodded, "I just check it every few days."


    Everyone is now preparing for the New Year, and Li Fu is no exception. He often goes to town to buy with Qian, but she doesn''t have to worry about these.


    In the twinkling of an eye on the twelfth lunar month, the third son of the Zhou family married a daughter-in-law. As the new year is approaching, there are often happy events in the village. The wedding events in the Zhou family are still a bit special. For example, the bride is a girl from the town. In a family where she was born, she is different from the peasant girl who eats in the ground and takes care of her every day.


    I heard that they have developed a body of ice and snow, and they never eat coarse grains. It seems that there is a woman waiting...


    These are all heard.


    On the big day, Li Qinghe went to help with Yu Yan early in the morning. She still chopped vegetables, and Yu Yan organized her. Although she was a little more relaxed, she did help. She also met many villagers in the kitchen. I was able to let go, joking and joking with everyone, and I quickly blended in.


    Soon it was noon, and soon after the meal was ready, the bride arrived.


    Everyone in the kitchen squeezed out to watch the excitement, and Yu Yan also took Li Qinghe out with interest.


    Outside the gate of Zhou''s house, the red sedan chair stopped, and Zhou Chengcai gestured to the crowd watching the excitement around him. There was a roaring noise inside and outside the courtyard.


    Xi Po said auspicious words and waited for the bride to go down to the ground. Then she pulled the Xi silk and everyone joked and asked him to hold hands directly. This was not uncommon. Zhou Chengcai reached out to the sedan chair.


    The crowd''s roar gradually quieted as he waited. It was probably because the bride was shy, Xipo saw it, and hurriedly smiled, "His silk is tied together, the marriage is tied together, and we meet until the white head..."


    The ending sounded so long, everyone laughed again.


    At this time, it was already the second time, how the bride should get off the sedan chair, but after waiting and waiting, the bride still did not get off.


    At this time, everyone found that something was wrong, and couldn''t get down at the door. Is this unwilling to marry or what''s the matter?


    The woman next to the bride cleared her throat, and when everyone looked over, she smiled, "My master came from the county seat. The rule there is that when the bride gets married, the bride will get off the sedan chair. Sealed. The more red seals, the more you like this new daughter-in-law. They say that all parties have different customs. My master often misses his hometown. If this is too far away, he can only relieve his nostalgia by the rules of his hometown... The girl does not insist on this red seal, but wants to give her father the last bit of filial piety and ask her new uncle to fulfill it."


    I don''t understand why this red seal has something to do with Master Zhang''s homesickness. This woman made a mess of things, but she meant it anyway, she wanted to get the red seal!


    It''s still fulfilled. If it is not fulfilled, will she not come down?


    Zhou''s mother was sitting in the hall, waiting to receive the newcomer''s gift. Seeing that the situation was wrong, her maiden sister-in-law He cried quietly and told her.


    Zhou Mu''s complexion changed on the spot. Seeing her like this, the He family hurriedly pulled her sleeves, "So many people are watching, let''s just fool things around before talking."


    She hesitated, "But if you pack a red envelope, I''m afraid it won''t work if you just pack the silver in..." That really doesn''t work. People who often get money will know how much it has.


    It doesn''t matter if everyone packs it, if Zhou''s mother has a lot of silver, it''s okay, but this pack, so many people look at it, it doesn''t work if it is less, and if it is more.


    "It''s better to find a lotus package, it''s not that obvious?" He said that the more he felt feasible, "Yu Yan, the newcomer from your village, heard that the embroidery worker is good, and asked her for one."


    After speaking, he got up and went out, found Li Qinghe who was watching the excitement in the crowd, and whispered the matter.


    After Yu Yan listened, she tore off the purse around her waist, took out the dried flowers inside, and stuffed the empty purse to her.


    He thanked Li Qinghe and smiled, "You are a sensible man, and my aunt likes you."


    Li Qinghe was speechless, and when she ran away, she whispered, "Obviously it is your purse, like me?"


    Take this to pack a red envelope. Needless to say, you know that the purse will come back.


    Yu Yan couldn''t help but chuckle.


    When the red letter was delivered, the woman over there took it, and said with a smile, "There are three requests, one request!"


    what happened?


    Is this purse a please? Two more?


    How can the He family tolerate this, "Although we have to marry a wife, we should follow the rules of a girl, but so many people are waiting, but we will miss the auspicious time. No matter how important this red seal is, how important is filial piety, it is not as important as the girl herself. Peace and prosperity are important for a lifetime, don¡¯t you think?"


    The last sentence was spoken to everyone, He''s words fell, he secretly talked about Zhou Chengcai, and glared at him.


    Zhou Cheng was willing, pulling hard, the bride was pulled out, he stretched out his hand to follow hers, and the crowd was booing again, and the couple walked in.


    The bride was not happy, Zhou Chengcai whispered, "Yaoyao, it''s almost done, so many people are watching, my mother can''t bear the money, what if you make trouble again and freeze?"


    Zhang Haiyao was anxious, pretending that he couldn''t see the road clearly, and stomped him severely.


    When everyone saw it, they didn''t care about it. There was another laughter. Yu Yan took Li Qinghe to the table and said in a low voice, "You Sansao, there will be trouble in the future."


    She voiced a little lower, "Just because there are such rules, can''t you tell me in advance?"


    Li Qinghe thought it so, just like the amount of dowry and dowry, which can be discussed in advance.


    Besides, this family has moved to Luoyue Town for decades. Do you still remember the old rules?


    There is no such rule here in Luoyue Town, and the Zhang family must know that they really want a red seal, so you can say in advance. As I said earlier, it''s so good for Zhou''s mother to take a red paper and seal it seriously. She didn''t have to say it until the door, and she was caught off guard.


    Zhou Jiayanke''s food was not bad, and in short, it was nothing to say. After eating, Li Qinghe went to the pond. She had to feed the fish.


    After the Zhou family celebration, it will soon be a small year. This year''s food harvest is good, and Li Fu is in a good mood. In addition, this is the last year that Li Qinghe and Zhao Wanwan are at home.


    Even if the wedding date has not been set, the two will set a wedding date after the Chinese New Year, and until next year, only Li Fu will be left to celebrate the new year together.


    After eating, when Li Qinghe went to the pond to feed the fish, he saw that Zhou Chengkang was already there, and he was fishing for the fish. One fish weighed more than three catties. It was a medium size, and it seemed quite fat. It was years ago."


    Feeding the fish seems simple. In fact, it takes a lot of trouble to run so far every day. Now that I can change money, Li Qinghe is very happy, "Then the day after tomorrow, and then twenty-eight."


    The twenty-sixth of the twelfth lunar month is the last episode of a year ago. The town is generally more lively than usual, and there are twenty-eight and twenty-nine days, which is also very lively. On the thirty day, there was no one on the street.


    So the two fished for a day the next day.


    Take out ten barrels and go to town in the middle of the night. During the Chinese New Year, no matter what kind of meat will be more expensive, it usually sells fish for 13 or 4 cents, but now it can sell 18 cents. That''s it, many people buy. People who are usually reluctant to buy fish are willing to be generous during the New Year. Because there were so many people, there was a circle of people in front of the stall, and the uncle who was selling fish on the opposite side was also surrounded, and he was very busy.


    In the afternoon, Li Qinghe was cheaper again, plus a few blanched half-sold and half-free, more than two hundred fish sold out, and got 50 taels of broken silver and a box of copper plates.


    The two returned to the carriage and counted. They had more than nine taels of silver, which was quite heavy.


    The two looked at each other, with a smile on their brows and eyes, "I made it!"


    Zhou Chengkang handed over, "Congratulations."


    Li Qinghe was really happy, and gave a gesture in return, "Tongxi and Tongxi, this brother, here is your credit, how much do you share?"


    Zhou Chengkang waved his hand, "Everything about me belongs to Xiongtai, no need or no need!"


    I heard this, but it''s no good whether it is divided. Li Qinghe divided him half and gave him the copper plate. "You can change it. I''d better take the silver."


    Zhou Chengkang responded, "I will give you the silver after I change it."


    Are you really planning to let her take care of the money? Li Qinghe looked at him suspiciously.


    Zhou Chengkang smiled and murmured as he approached her, "I found that your eyes are shining when counting silver." His voice was full of smiles. He leaned close and his breath sprayed onto her face, a little hot.


    "You said I got into the eyes of money?" Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows and reached out to push him, "What do you mean?"


    The hands were held by a pair of warm hands, Zhou Chengkang squeezed, "It''s not interesting, I just want to see how happy you are."


    She has sharp eyes, which is much better than the cold tombstone of the previous life. Even now when he wakes up in the middle of the night, he still feels unreal. He has to go to the wasteland to look at the fish pond and look inside. When the fish was swimming, she felt that she was very close to herself, very alive, just where she could reach with her hand.


    He squeezed her hand, suddenly wanted to get closer to her, and hugged her into his arms, "Qinghe, we are married, okay?"


    He moved suddenly, and Li Qinghe''s nose hit his hard chest. He was about to groan, when he heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, "I''m so busy now..."


    Zhou Chengkang said eagerly, "The wedding date is set after the new year!"


    It''s the twenty-sixth of the twelfth lunar month. Is it possible that it could be years ago? Li Qinghe couldn''t laugh or cry, stretched out his hand to hold his waist, and responded carefully, "Okay!"


    The smell of fish in the car was full, and the smell of the two of them was also heavy. They hugged and didn''t know who laughed first. Both of them laughed loudly.


    Although the copper plates are relatively easy to use, they are too much. Li Qinghe leaned in the carriage to make up for sleep. Zhou Chengkang went to the bank to change by herself. When she woke up again, she was at the door of the house.


    Zhou Chengkang touched her forehead, "Go back and rest earlier."


    "You should also go back early and rest." She said, she jumped out of the carriage and said, "Fishing for the fish tomorrow, don''t forget, let''s go early and fish clean. When the spring begins, we can put the fry again."


    Zhou Chengkang nodded, Li Qinghe remembered something, "Take a few fish to eat."


    Zhou Chengkang laughed and nodded again, "Hurry up."


    Li Qinghe stood at the door and watched his carriage go home. Turning around, he saw Zhao Wanwan standing in the yard and looking curiously, "My sister is back, how are your fish selling?"


    "It''s sold out." Li Qinghe only felt that his body smelled bad, and wanted to boil water for washing, and went straight into the kitchen.


    Zhao Wanwan looked around her, and when she saw her entering the kitchen, she hurried to catch up with her, "Is my sister hungry? I left you a meal."


    Li Qinghe waved his hand, "I''m not hungry, I want to wash."


    Zhao Wanwan answered quickly, "I also boiled water for you."


    Hearing that, Li Qinghe thanked him and took a bucket to fetch hot water. Zhao Wanwan stepped forward to help and asked with a smile, "Sister, did you sell a lot of money?"


    Li Qinghe smiled, guessing that she would ask, "There must be five taels."


    "Ah, so many." Zhao Wanwan looked surprised.


    Li Qinghe reminded her, "I bought the fish fry at the beginning. It cost me five taels. I also fed all the bran during this period, and I also added wheat shreds. I bought all of them, and I haven''t paid back yet."


    Hearing that, Zhao Wanwan nodded, "Yes, but if I sell 50 taels tomorrow, I will definitely make a profit."


    She helped her to fetch the water, and carried her to the water room, and poured a bucket of hot water on the ground, so that there was heat in the water room and it would not be so cold.


    When Li Qinghe came out after washing, she followed her into the house again, "Sister, I want to discuss something with you..."


    "Say." Li Qinghe wiped her hair at the dressing table. This girl usually likes to work, but she seldom follows along like this. She definitely wants something.


    Zhao Wanwan looked at her back and tentatively said, "Sister, can I take your two fish?"


    "What are you doing?" Li Qinghe asked smoothly.


    She finished fishing yesterday, gave one to Li Quina, and brought two large ones back by the way. It shouldn''t be finished yet.


    Zhao Wanwan glanced at her again, her voice became quieter, "I want to send to the Hu family..."


    Thinking of the girl helping her boil hot water, Li Qinghe nodded, "Tomorrow I will bring it back to you when I finish fishing."


    She was so refreshed, Zhao Wanwan was very happy, got up and walked out, "I''ll help you heat up the food."


    The day was light outside, Li Qinghe got up and went to fish, Zhou Chengkang went directly to the door to pick her up, and Li Xingwang also came to help after dawn.


    The three of them fished until it was dark, and finally it was almost the same. The rest is really hard to fish, and there is not much together, so they just keep it for themselves.


    Looking at more than a dozen barrels of fish, Li Xingwang helped them get into the wagon and was also very happy. He asked, "You sold fish yesterday, and many people said that the business was good. Would you like to watch this night, will you be stolen?"

 Chapter 34： Wedding date

    When he asked, Li Qinghe and the two looked at each other. Zhou Chengkang thought for a while, "I will take a quilt, and it will be one night in the carriage." Not afraid of 10,000, just in case.


    There is no other way. Although the atmosphere in the village is still simple, it would be bad if there are so many fish. If it is more secret, you will not be able to catch the thief. You can only admit that you are unlucky.


    Zhou Chengkang drove the carriage into the Zhou family''s yard, went back to the house and took the quilt, and went outside. When he reached the eaves, he happened to meet Zhang Haiyao who had returned from the cottage. Both of them just nodded as a greeting.


    Zhang Haiyao returned to the room and whispered to Zhou Chengcai who was lying on the bed, "Look at the appearance of the third brother, do you want to guard the fish?"


    Zhou Chengcai didn''t think there was anything at all, "There are so many fishes, so be careful."


    "Huh." Zhang Haiyao snorted coldly, "Isn''t it just a little fish? That stingy. I help others with my heart and lungs, and I don''t know if I have paid for it."


    "That person would be happy!" Zhou Chengcai got up, reached out his hand to take the person into his arms, and went to blow the candle, "If you let me help, I would be happy too..."


    Before dawn, Li Qinghe got up, and the carriage had stopped outside the yard. She wrapped her clothes tightly and quickly entered the carriage. In the afternoon, the Li Qinghe fish had been sold out. Today was a tad more than yesterday, a full dozen.


    Counting the copper plates, Li Qinghe was very happy. With the pond, although the two worked harder, they should have a good life.


    When I got home, it was about the same time as yesterday. Today, Zhao Wanwan also helped her to boil hot water, but still waited for her to wash up and followed up her room, "Sister, are you going to town tomorrow?"


    "What do you do?" Li Qinghe wiped it carefully, and it was cleaned today. In a short time, she doesn''t need to fish frequently.


    Zhao Wanwan lowered her head, her face flushed, "I want to send fish to Hu''s house."


    In fact, Li Qinghe really planned to go shopping, sending fish to Xu''s by the way, and then said, "Tomorrow I will go, let''s go together." There are so many people in the village, there should be horse-drawn carriages, not one more than her.


    Zhao Wanwan immediately became happy.


    Seeing her doing this, Li Qinghe asked, "Do you want to give it to your father?"


    "My father?" Zhao Wanwan was puzzled, "Daddy is next door..."


    She suddenly understood that Li Qinghe meant her father, Zhao Tianfu, and shook her head, "I haven''t seen him for a long time, and he didn''t see me. It''s unnecessary. Besides, this fish is what I asked you for, and it''s not my own."


    Li Qinghe also heard her talk about the Hu family, and suddenly thought of what Zhao Tianfu had done in this marriage, and he asked her if he helped her.


    When he went to town again the next day, Li Qinghe sat with Zhou Chengkang outside the carriage, which was crowded with many people.


    When they arrived in the town, the carriage was placed at the entrance of the town. Li Qinghe and the others said goodbye and went to the cloth village first.


    Xu was very happy to see the fish she brought, "You really made it for you, did you make any money?"


    "I made some." Li Qinghe was in a good mood, "I will send you some for the New Year."


    The mother and daughter have not seen each other for a long time. In fact, they have gotten closer, mainly because Li Qinghe has lost the sharpness of his previous life and is willing to get along well with the Xu family.


    While she was talking, the curtain opened, and Mrs. Zhang came in, saw the fish on the ground, smiled and said, "Send the fish?"


    He looked outside again, "This kind of weather is really hard for you. Actually, it is not necessary. We can still afford a few fish from the Zhang family, and I have not treated your mother badly. Fish is not tasty if you eat too much. I don''t like it very much..." He said with disdain, he reached out and knocked on the bucket.


    Xu came forward, smiled and brought the bucket over, "Madam doesn''t like to eat, but I like it. I eat with the master."


    When the last sentence came out, Mrs. Zhang looked ugly, and quickly converged, "The fish bones can easily get stuck, so be careful when eating. Don''t get stuck in the New Year, and make jokes again."


    Xu raised his eyebrows, "Today I have to be ugly, you don''t want to get it right?"


    "What do you mean?" Madam Zhang said solemnly, "What did I say?"


    The two people didn''t agree with each other, and they were about to quarrel.


    The curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man of about 40 years old stepped forward steadily, "There are guests here, stop making trouble."


    It means that Li Qinghe is a guest.


    When these words came out, Mrs. Zhang''s expression changed. Normally men don¡¯t like the children their own women give to other men. As long as the child exists and appears in front of him, it will remind him of the woman¡¯s uncleanness. But now, he says that the child is a guest. This means Obviously, he didn''t care about Xu''s previous affairs.


    Li Qinghe didn''t want to be here. He got up and smiled and said goodbye. He turned down the fabric Master Zhang wanted to give her. After going out, he looked at the people waiting for her and said with a smile, "Let''s go around the street."


    In her previous life, she didn''t like to come here, first because she felt a little bit of resentment in her heart, and secondly, it was easy to change into the situation just now, and she just felt embarrassed to be caught in the middle.


    The town has been very lively these days. About half the number of people was crowded everywhere. The two of them were very happy when they were squeezed. After the afternoon, they went to the aunty¡¯s bun shop, where they ate noodles and bought the cake. There are a lot of people, and the aunt is so busy, she doesn''t forget to greet them.


    The shop was lively and there were many children wearing new clothes. Li Qinghe thought of something and whispered, "I will make you a set of clothes and I will give it to you when I go back."


    Zhou Chengkang followed her gaze to the three or four-year-old child over there. Because it was too cold, the child was still sucking his nose, and the whole person suddenly became ill, "You treat me as a child?"


    Li Qinghe laughed, and gave him a blank look, "The adults also need to wear new clothes, okay?"


    Zhou Chengkang lowered his head, took a big bite, and drank the soup again. After a long while he raised his head, his eye circles were a little red, "In fact, I rarely wore new clothes when I was young."


    The children of the Zhuang family always wear the big ones for the small ones. As the youngest child of the Zhou family, there are so many children in the Zhou family. This is normal. She couldn''t help but said, "I will make it for you every year from now on."


    Zhou Chengkang couldn''t laugh or cry again in the tone of coaxing the child, and he felt his heartwarming words, "Then I can wait."


    When the two returned to Zhenkou, Zhao Wanwan had already waited, carrying a basket to each other, breathing in circles, turning in circles.


    Li Qinghe approached and asked in confusion, "Why don''t you go up first?"


    "That''s not good." Zhao Wanwan smiled and climbed up. "Actually, it''s cold inside without moving. I can still watch the excitement outside."


    The carriage returned to the village very quickly, and many people from the village were brought along on the road. Many people have seen Zhou Chengkang''s help selling fish, and heard about those who haven''t seen them. Many people smiled and asked about their wedding dates. Zhou Chengkang looked in a good mood, "It''s coming soon, I''ll talk about it after the New Year."


    Another woman smiled half-truth, "Stop talking, this has to be hurry up, be careful that your wife runs away."


    I¡¯ve made money from selling fish. Although I don¡¯t know how much capital was invested, the copper plates were collected really quickly when I sold them. I heard that I received two boxes in two days, not young and old. If Li Qinghe hasn¡¯t negotiated a relationship yet, Designate many people to come to mention it.


    Zhou Chengkang glanced at Li Qinghe with his head down and a shy face in the carriage, smiled and said, "You must hurry."


    Laughing along the way, and soon arrived in the village. When the Li Qinghe sisters got out of the carriage, there were still two people in the carriage that had not arrived home. Zhou Chengkang had to send it away. Watching the carriage go far, she turned to enter the door.


    On the side, Zhao Wanwan secretly glanced at her several times, and tentatively asked, "Sister, is your wedding date set?"


    "I''ll talk about it after the New Year." Li Qinghe casually said, "Why, the Hu family wants to get married?"


    "The restaurant in the town is short of a helper after the new year, and it will open on the third day of the new year..." Zhao Wanwan lowered her head, "Auntie means, let us get married as soon as possible, and then we can go."


    Li Qinghe was surprised, "This work really wants to go. You have already made a marriage. You can go now. Why do you have to get married?"


    Zhao Wanwan shook her head, "I don''t know either."


    She didn''t care much, and asked casually, "Is that date set?"


    "I think in the first month." Zhao Wanwan tentatively said, "Sister, if you don''t have time, my side..." Seeing Li Qinghe not answering, she was a little frustrated, "I can only get ahead of you."


    This doesn''t matter, anyway, she has already married, "You have time for the dowry?"


    Zhao Wanwan shook her head, "I don''t know yet."


    I really don''t know this, anyway, the bottom of the box of five taels of silver has been arguable since Hu Jiagang mentioned it, and after that, even Li Fu has never mentioned it in front of her.


    The next day was the Chinese New Year, and the family was still peaceful. Qian, who usually likes to talk about things at the dinner table, didn''t talk about the unpleasantness anymore. He didn''t even mention his daughter''s marriage. The mention of this is likely to cause a quarrel.


    On the first day of the first lunar month, both Zhou Chengkang and Hu Yanxi came to pay a New Year greeting, and they stayed for dinner. Li Fu was very happy and asked them to drink with him.


    In the afternoon, Li Fujiu was half awake and returned to her family with Qian.


    This is so close that if you are willing to keep the meal, you can still delay it for a long time, or if you are not willing to keep the meal, half an hour is too much. In the past, Li Fu and Li Fu came back very quickly. This year seems to be different. It will be back soon after dark, and Li Fu''s complexion is not very good.


    As soon as he walked in, Qian cried, "What do you mean? Those who are celebrating the New Year must be uncomfortable, right? My parents raise me, you can''t help them?"


    Li Fu''s face was still a little red, and he waved his hand and said, "You cry again, I said, honor them as they should, but don''t think about anything else."


    The author has something to say: see you tomorrow evening


    Red envelopes are issued in this chapter, and they will be issued tomorrow night~

 Chapter 35： marriage

    Qian was crying over there, not howling, but the kind of whispering and grieving voice.


    Li Qinghe was a little irritable, but Zhao Wanwan stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Mother, what happened?"


    It was surprising that she would stand up. The girl basically bowed her head when the two quarreled in the past and went out to hide.


    Qian cried so sad that Li Fu leaned on the chair and seemed to fall asleep and ignored him. He felt embarrassed and couldn¡¯t get off the stage. He heard his daughter¡¯s questioning, and said, ¡°Your uncle wants to Go to the county town with Yanxi to participate in the county test. Your uncle will marry a daughter-in-law after the New Year, and they can¡¯t get the money. Your grandfather and grandmother are too old and can¡¯t make it. Go back today, and talk to your father. He borrowed some, and it turned out..."


    Having said that, I couldn''t say anything further, and I was crying even more on the table.


    Zhao Wanwan''s face was a little pale, "How much money does Uncle want?"


    Qian glanced at Li Qinghe, "At least 50 taels, more if possible, poor families and rich roads."


    Li Qinghe noticed her gaze and turned to go out with a teacup and teapot. He wanted her to make money and dreamed faster. Besides, from the perspective of how much money can be spent on the town for a long time, it is not enough.


    "Five Liangs?" Zhao Wanwan exclaimed, and then she heard her low voice, "Where is my dowry?"


    The voice was low and inaudible, if it weren''t for Li Qinghe to listen to it deliberately, it would be inaudible.


    What does this mean is that Li Fu has agreed to give Wuliang a dowry?


    "Your father is an iron cock." Seeing Li Fu fell asleep on the chair, Qian said angrily, "It was because he refused to give you a dowry, I told him to give your uncle. In case your uncle If it is successful, you can put the land under his name and save food tax."


    Li Qinghe couldn''t listen anymore and went into the kitchen to wash the cups.


    Her impression of Uncle Wanwan was that she asked Qian at the gate of the courtyard that morning to get money, and she looked like a half-naked woman hanging around the gate of the town that afternoon. If such a person can pass the exam, there will not be so few talents in this world.


    When Qian was crying enough, Li Fu hadn''t woken up over there, so angrily, she went back to the room by herself.


    It was getting late and Li Fu hadn''t been awake. Li Qinghe thought for a while and took two quilts to wrap him up. It would be more troublesome if he got sick.


    When wrapping the quilt, Li Qinghe raised his hand. The intention was to let him hold the quilt and not slide it down. Who knew this action, Li Fu woke up. After scanning the room, he pinched his eyebrows, "I''m asleep? Where''s your Aunt Qian?"


    "I got angry and went back to the room, but never came out." Li Qinghe couldn''t build it and asked, "Father, are you going to sleep here or go back to sleep?"


    Li Fu waved his hand, "I''ll go to bed, and you will go to bed earlier..." Thinking of something, he asked again, "When did Zhou Jiati get married?"


    "not yet."


    Li Fu nodded, "Don''t worry, you can get married at the end of the year."


    At first I decided to remind you every day, but now you are not in a hurry?


    Probably I think that no matter how much you urge, you can''t be before Zhao Wanwan.


    When Hu Yanxi came in the morning, he said that he wanted to set the wedding date on the 16th of the first lunar month. Tomorrow Hu Mu will personally bring Xipo to the door again, and the marriage will be decided.


    Sure enough, Hu Mu came to the door with a gift early the next morning. Qian''s eyes were still a little swollen, but he was smiling. He accepted the gift, and it was the wedding date. Then he talked about the dowry, "I will give Wan Wan I have prepared four quilts and four pullovers. I have everything I should have."


    The words were nice, Hu Mu was quite satisfied and glanced at Xi Po.


    Xi Po understood, got up and smiled, "Just laugh, I drank too much tea, I will go out for a while."


    Li Qinghe is standing in the yard sewing fish pockets. The fishnet is broken. He has been busy for the New Year these days and has no time to clean up. Xi Po walked to her and asked with a smile, "This is a fish pocket, right? I heard that you made a lot of money by selling fish this year."


    "There is indeed a lot of silver, but you have to scrape off the fry and fish food, plus you usually die, and you make some money. It''s similar to doing a part-time job." Li Qinghe smiled and looked good.


    Not long after standing, Mother Hu came out of the house, very happy, and smiled at Li Qinghe, "I will be relatives in the future, but I need more contact."


    I sent them away together. When I turned around, I saw Qian¡¯s face with a smile, and only listened to her sigh, ¡°I have to dowry for five or two. Your father will not agree to this marriage...¡± She shook her head, ¡°Qinghe, this You can let Wanwan help you get the fish pocket. You should rest a few days after you were tired."


    If she hadn''t listened to Xu''s explanation of the origin of the marriage, she would be so worried during this period of time, and Li Qinghe would have to believe that it was Hu''s dowry. Hearing this, he refused, "I don''t need it in a hurry, I just sew it all right."


    The next step was silence, the atmosphere was awkward, Li Qinghe moved naturally, as if he didn''t notice it. Li Fu came out of the house, "You all come in, I have something to say."


    As soon as I walked in, I saw five taels of silver on the table. Zhao Wanwan took a peek at it several times. Qian''s smile was all over his face, and he reached out to tear down the snack that Hu''s brought, and took a piece of it and handed it to Li Fu, "What a taste."


    Li Fu didn''t answer, and pointed to the 50 taels of broken silver on the table, "I planned to do it before. The two girls prepare 50 taels of dowry. You can divide them. In a few days, it will be the wedding day, and I will give it to you. Coming out of the cabinet can be regarded as all the love of our father and daughter."


    He looked at Li Qinghe again, "Take your own, and prepare your dowry when the time comes. Don''t give up too little."


    After hearing what he said, the mother and daughter of the Qian family were stunned. So they only had half the money?


    After a quick reaction, Qian held the dim sum and looked at the silent Li Qinghe, "Qinghe, you have ten acres of land, and the money you earn from selling fish this time, shouldn''t you lack this?"


    Probably they had been prepared long ago, four whole pieces, and two small ones. Before Qian''s words were over, she reached out and took her own half, "No matter how much it is, it''s Dad''s mind. Thank you Dad."


    Li Fu waved his hand and said, "You will all live your life well in the future."


    "Qinghe, you are not short of this talent, can you lend it to Wanwan, and she will pay you back." Qian was anxious, "When anyone doesn''t take advantage of it, your two sisters should have taken care of and supported each other..."


    "This is Dad''s intention." She emphasized, "You robbed my dad, and now you have to take this even?"


    "No one is allowed to make this idea of ??silver!" Li Fu looked at Qian with a solemn warning, "It''s the Wanwan share, so don''t move, if you let me know that her money has not fallen into her hands, Don''t blame me for going back to Qian''s house."


    He almost explicitly said that he was not allowed to give to the Qian family. Qian''s thoughts were exposed, and he became more and more annoyed, "My father and mother raised me for a while, now I marry you to take care of you, can''t you help them share their worries?"


    Li Fu frowned slightly, "What can''t you say? I marry you, so your betrothal gift is not missing. As parents, a daughter received two betrothal gift, it should be content. How much respect is my business , They want to ask me how much, it''s impossible!"


    Hearing the two dowry gifts, Qian''s face instantly turned pale, "You still blame me. Why did the two dowry gifts come from? I want them to take one. That was your Li family''s refusal! Later... I didn''t. Please marry me, and now embarrass me like this in front of the children..." I couldn¡¯t say any more, threw the snack on Li Fu, and ran out with his face covered. Then I heard her enter the door next door and slammed again. Shut it off with a sound.


    Zhao Wanwan was so frightened that she bowed her head and dared not say a word, and took her hand that had already touched the silver.


    Li Fu blacked his face and patted off the scum on his body. Seeing her cautious appearance, he calmed down, took the silver and stuffed it into her hand, "You take it yourself, your mother... In her eyes, no one is anxious. Her brother is important, you are also old, you have to take care of yourself..."


    After the Chinese New Year, after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the villagers began to pick up the weeds, and waited for the weather to get warmer and planted them. Li Qinghe opened the land last year and will also plant this year. However, she does not plan to continue to open up wasteland and go with Zhou Chengkang. Circle the place where you plan to feed the chickens and cut out a piece of land, plan to build a chicken pen, in case of rain, also let the chickens have a place to hide from the rain.


    Chopping weeds is very tiring, especially this kind of weeds in the wasteland. During the period, when I stopped to drink tea, Zhou Chengkang looked around and said, "Actually, you should build a shack and live here and watch the chickens and the fish."


    Li Qinghe really started to think about the fact that there are very few people who steal chickens and dogs, but if there is no one to look at the large group of chickens here, there may be someone stealing it.


    As a result, the two of them did the same job again, and built an extra shack to live in, between the pond and this side.


    As soon as the ground was cut out, it was Zhao Wanwan''s wedding. No matter how busy these two days are, I have to make room. It was very lively early in the morning. In fact, the Qian family had been there the first day, but Li Fu was very busy. He was busy cleaning the front yard and the back yard, and ran to repair the door. The members of the Qian family were left to receive by the Qian family, and Li Qinghe consciously did not move forward.


    On the second day, many people came in early in the morning. In fact, it was far more fun to marry a daughter than to marry a wife. Li Qinghe still went to the kitchen to chop vegetables, and all the reception of guests was left to the Qian family. Her own daughter got married and was unhappy. , With a smile on his face.


    It was almost noon when Hu Yanxi was surrounded by a group of young people, who seemed to be gentle and polite. He had a blue gown, which should be his classmates. Qian Laiwen was among them. He coaxed and welcomed the bride away.


    When the welcoming team left, the seats were also opened outside. Qian looked at the direction of the disappearance of the sedan chair and wiped his tears. Li Fu also stood melancholy for a long time.


    The two girls were supposed to send Zhao Wanwan away. Qian directly found them from her parents¡¯ family, but did not ask Li Qinghe to send them. She did not move forward and watched the sedan chair leave. She just wanted to wait for the guests to finish their meal and leave. Clean the yard afterwards.


    After Zhao Wanwan left, she didn''t know whether Qian''s lack of love to work would be better.


    An hour later, the villagers finished their meal, helped to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and took their own things away. When the people walked almost, there were only tables and melon seeds all over the ground. shell.


    Qian''s clutched his chest, "I am uncomfortable, go back and lie down for a while." He staggered and entered the door.


    In the yard, Yu Yan stayed until the end. Seeing this, she couldn''t help but sneak a glance at Li Qinghe''s speechless expression, approaching her and lowering her voice with a smile, "I won''t really leave you alone? I''ll help you."


    Just at this moment, Li Fu came in from outside. He was going to return other people''s things. He saw the two girls holding broomsticks and glanced around and didn''t see Qian, so he frowned, "Where is your Aunt Qian?"


    The author has something to say: see you tomorrow night, this chapter will give a red envelope~

 Chapter 36： help

    "It may be that Wanwan left Aunt Qian and felt uncomfortable. She said she was uncomfortable. She had already returned to the house to rest." Li Qinghe didn''t mean to help her hide it at all, although after saying these things, Li Fu and the two might quarrel. But she is not Zhao Wanwan.


    Zhao Wanwan was at home except for the busy farming work. It was true that the housework was cumbersome, but she had nothing to do except this. Li Qinghe is different. She has to set up sheds to work in the wasteland every day. After the weather gets better, she has to buy fry and chickens to raise. It is a little empty, and she has to wash herself up, and Zhou Chengkang¡¯s clothes are now made by her. Very busy, not much mind can be put at home.


    Li Fu was astonished when he heard this. He thought that the Qian family had left something, but he didn''t expect that he would run to lie down. When his face sank, he entered the door.


    Yu Yan was originally holding a broomstick to help. Seeing this situation, she lowered her voice, "I''ll go back first, and if I''m going...I''ll come back later."


    Li Qinghe sent her out and said with a smile, "I don''t need you, it''s just sweeping the floor, it looks cumbersome, and it won''t last long."


    When she turned around, she saw that Qian had already put on her clothes and went out. Angrily, she picked up the broom and swept the floor. Seeing her looking over, she sneered, "What?"


    "I don''t think you are okay." Li Qinghe didn''t rush, "Isn''t it out of breath?"


    Breathing out of breath, panting can be even.


    Qian suddenly became even more angry.


    At this time all the guests had left, and only his family were left. Li Fu came out of the house because some people would drink with him during the day, and it is not easy to refuse on a day like today. At this time, his face was a little red. I also took a broom and swept the floor.


    When Qian was angry, he worked swiftly. He quickly swept halfway through the yard. Li Fu went to the backyard and Li Qinghe cleaned up the tables and chairs. After an hour, he was almost ready.


    Dinner is the rest of the banquet. They are all ready-made. They are ready when they are hot. During dinner, Li Fu glanced at Qian, "I will pick up Wanwan back tomorrow morning and remember to cook."


    Qian ignored him and opened his eyes. Obviously still angry.


    Li Fu put down his chopsticks, "Don''t shake your face like this, I tell you, Wanwan is also your daughter. If you make her faceless, you will be happy? Besides, if the girl married someone, she would be a guest when she returned to her family. You made her happy and she came back more often. If she shook her face and she was unwilling to come back, I think it¡¯s too late for you to regret."


    "If you don''t come back!" Qian''s sulky, "I have been a hard life in my life. Men and men are unreliable. Daughters and daughters are for nothing. I might as well die." He said, tears fell.


    Li Qinghe couldn''t see her, and got up and went out with a bowl.


    Li Fu''s unhappy voice came from behind, "Don''t cry next time you eat, it will affect your appetite!"


    After speaking, he got up and went out, saw Li Qinghe in the yard, calmed his tone, "There are still food in the kitchen. Go heat it yourself, don''t go in."


    Li Qinghe finished eating in two bites, "I''m full." He took the bowl into the kitchen.


    When she came out again, Li Fu had already left the yard and strolled on the road outside. Standing in the yard, Qian could clearly hear the cry of Qian''s whining, feeling aggrieved.


    "My dad is gone." She shouted.


    There was a cry in the room, and then it was gone. Qian came out with the bowls and chopsticks, "Wait, why don''t you pack the bowls and chopsticks quickly?"


    Li Qinghe spread his hands, "I made the rice. I won''t accept it. You can prepare it if you have the ability!"


    Qian stomped his feet with anger, but didn''t dare to refuse to accept it as she said.


    Li Qinghe went back to the room and took out the clothes to wash. After a busy two days, there were a lot of clothes changing in such a cold day. When she finished washing, it was already dark.


    The next day, Zhao Wanwan returned to her natal house, and her father and brother from her natal family were to pick him up. Li Fuda left in the morning, and Qian also got up and went into the kitchen.


    Li Qinghe also went to the kitchen to help with cooking. The meat and vegetables left over yesterday were still available, and they were prepared very quickly, but there was nothing to say between the two, and the atmosphere was stagnant.


    At dawn, Li Fu returned with Zhao Wanwan.


    In the morning, I was eating as a family. It seemed the same as before, but it seemed a little different.


    When Hu Yanxi arrived in the afternoon, he wanted to take Zhao Wanwan back after lunch, and the marriage was over. After that, Zhao Wanwan will come back again, except for the holidays and festivals, depending on her mood.


    In fact, what Li Fu said last night was right. If the home is comfortable, the daughter would definitely be willing to come back. If she is not happy to shake her face, she might not come.


    Qian was very satisfied with this son-in-law, helped him pick vegetables several times, and asked with a smile, "When do you plan to leave for the county test in March?"


    "The sooner the better." Hu Yanxi smiled and thanked him, and continued, "We have to rent a yard when we go. We have an appointment to live together. This will also save a lot of money."


    Hearing this, Li Fu frowned slightly, "Uncle Wanwan too?"


    Hu Yanxi smiled, "Uncle and I used to be classmates, but now they are relatives, and they should take care of each other."


    After hearing these words, Qian''s smile deepened, and he added a piece of meat to him, and said, "Eat more."


    But Li Fu was dissatisfied when he heard his answer. He glanced at Zhao Wanwan, who was shy with his head down, and said, "If you can, I''d better live separately..."


    "What nonsense." Qian gave him a scowl, "Isn''t this close person better than the stranger?" Then he asked his daughter, "Wanwan, what do you think?"


    Zhao Wanwan raised her head and smiled without speaking.


    Qian was a little embarrassed and annoyed. He looked helplessly at the remaining Li Qinghe, "Qinghe, what do you think?"


    Li Qinghe only immersed herself in the meal without saying a word. In this kind of occasion, she is not suitable for talking too much. Hearing Qian asked herself, she smiled and said, "Brother-in-law reads a lot, and she knows it in her heart."


    Hearing this, Qian gave her an admiration, then looked at Li Fu, "Qinghe agrees."


    Li Qinghe was speechless. He glanced at Hu Yanxi, who was eating slowly. He was not stupid. He was indeed someone with an idea. He was willing to be together. Qian could not arrange it.


    It seemed that they had answered Qian''s words just now, but they didn''t give a precise answer. For example, when asked when to leave, he replied that the sooner the better. He said that he had made an appointment with a few people to live with. Qian asked if he wanted to bring money to write to him. They only said that relatives should take care of each other, but he didn''t say that those who live together must have money to write to.


    Therefore, what she said is also the truth, and people know it well.


    Qian was very satisfied, and then asked, "Then can you prepare the coil?"


    "No." The smile on Hu Yanxi''s face narrowed, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned, seemingly embarrassed, "However, there is always a way."


    During this period of time, the family had been quarreling many times over this. When I mentioned it again, the atmosphere became serious. Li Fu stood up and went in to get the wine, causing Qian to choke in his throat when he was about to speak.


    After eating, they sent away the two.


    Hu Yanxi took good care of Zhao Wanwan during his actions, and the two looked close between their gestures. Qian looked at it with a smile, with satisfaction in his eyes.


    Seeing the two walking away, the smile on Qian''s face disappeared immediately, and he said with a serious face, "Her father, this is your son-in-law, can''t you help? Waiting for him to pass the exam will be good for Wanwan and us. of."


    Li Qinghe turned around and walked in, planning to change clothes and go to the ground. There is still a long time left, so he can do as much as he can.


    When she came out, she heard Li Fulue''s angry words, "I just got a dowry of fifty taels of silver, where can I borrow any silver?"


    He was angry, and Qian was unwilling to show weakness, "Well, it¡¯s not that half of the five liang is given to Qinghe. What are you screaming at me? Qinghe¡¯s wedding date has not been set yet. You can wait until after the autumn when the food is sold. Too late..."


    Seeing Li Qinghe coming out in a blink of an eye, Li Fu pulled her and interrupted her.


    Qian turned his head to see her going out, snorted coldly, raised his foot and went in.


    "Big temperament." Li Qinghe sighed, really love.


    "Go to the field again?" Li Fu calmed his expression, "Do you want me to help you too?"


    She waved her hand and said sincerely, "No, there is so much work in the field, dad be busy with her own."


    When Li Fu heard this, he was a little bit sad, and thought of the angry man in the house. He was suddenly dissatisfied. Every family was busy with spring planting after the New Year. She was still angry every day. She immediately got up and walked in, "Change clothes and come with me." Going to the ground, you are afraid of the sun, just now there is no sun."


    Li Qinghe went to work in the fields. She was really busy. By the end of the first month, the shack and small house were almost done. She went to town with Zhou Chengkang again, and wanted to buy chickens.


    Nowadays, some people sell chickens, but the ones that are too small are easy to die, and there are not many. This has to be done slowly, and the fry can be asked.


    By the time she put the fry into the water, it was already February, and when she went to town again, there were talks about those scholars who were going to the county town to take part in the test. It was said that they would leave in a few days. He also said which family brought the book boy, which rich and honorable family, and also brought a girl to serve.


    When she put the fry, she fished out the few big fish left in it by the way. There were a total of four or five catties. In fact, it was not very good to sell. When the idlers were reluctant to buy such a big fish back to eat, she remembered that she was in the restaurant before. At that time, sometimes such a big fish was deliberately needed, and I had to make an appointment with the fish seller in advance, so I wanted to ask.


    She basically knew all the helpers in the restaurant. She walked in directly through the back door and walked around to the kitchen. She was about to say hello to someone. She saw Zhao Wanwan squatting on the stove and burning.


    This is also normal, no matter who it is, they started to burn and wash dishes.


    "Sister, what are you doing here?" Zhao Wanwan stuffed a few sticks of firewood and got up and came out, "It just so happens that I have something to look for you, so go out and say."


    Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "I didn''t come to see you, I have something to do."


    It was still early at this time, and she entered the chef''s booth while preparing the dishes. The chef in this restaurant was surnamed Chen, and he was kind to others. He laughed and said, "You can send it over, and I will talk to the shopkeeper at that time."


    When things settled, Li Qinghe smiled and thanked him.


    When Zhao Wanwan saw her coming out, she went out too busy, "Sister, I have something to discuss with you."


    "What''s the matter?" Li Qinghe doubted that she would borrow money. Hu Yanxi is about to set off there. Although she has some money, she actually has some plans in her heart. She is afraid that this is not enough. It is impossible to borrow money. .


    "My husband will leave for the county in a few days," Zhao Wanwan paused. "Many people have brought book boys and girls. Our family can''t afford anyone, can you..."


    Li Qinghe just waited for her to refuse as soon as she asked for money, and listened to her, "...help me work for two months?"


    The author has something to say: At 12 o''clock tomorrow night, there will be a thousand-character income list, so, tomorrow night''s update will be issued at 12 o''clock~


    Today and tomorrow¡¯s new chapter comments will be sent out small red envelopes, thank you for your support~ bow~

 Chapter 37： Hire

    Li Qinghe was stunned.


    The surprise on her face was not concealed. Zhao Wanwan looked at the kitchen and whispered, "I have asked, if I leave, this work will definitely be gone. Then I said something, and the manager agreed to find someone to work. , But there are also requirements. People here should not be novices. It is best to have worked as a helper in a restaurant. Sister, can you help me this time, OK?"


    Seeing the heat in the kitchen, Li Qinghe really did not want to come back, shook his head and said, "I am very busy over there. There will be dozens of chicks in two days. You also know that the chicks have to be careful, or they will lose everything. For you, I can still have time for one or two days, two months... My fry have also been in the water, and I really can¡¯t go away."


    Zhao Wanwan was full of sorrow, "It''s not that there is Brother Thursday, you can let him do these for you, sister, I have rarely asked you since I was a child, this time if you helped me, if you have something in the future, if I can Help, I will definitely help you!"


    Her eyes were full of expectation, and Li Qinghe stretched out her hands, "There is nothing you can do. You can''t count on me. You should know how busy my house is, and my land has been opened. I will spring planting with them in a few days. people."


    Zhao Wanwan sighed, "If I can''t find anyone, I can only go there."


    If this is not possible, a group of scholars can actually easily go to the Hualou. In case something goes wrong...


    She thought so, and Zhao Wanwan already said over there, "I''m afraid that my husband will forget me after he leaves me. It is said that their scholars like to go to the Hualou for drinks and so on."


    It turned out that she had a clear heart.


    Li Qinghe suggested, "It''s better to find someone to work for you. You can definitely find it in this town, but you can give me some benefit."


    Hearing that, Zhao Wanwan seemed a little impatient, "But I found someone. What if they don''t pay me back after I come back, or if she does better than me, what should I do if the restaurant doesn''t want me?"


    Speaking of later, the tone is not very good.


    She was upset, Li Qinghe lost his mind, and said, "Your fourth brother is still waiting for me, so be it."


    She turned around, but Zhao Wanwan grabbed her sleeves, "Sister, judging from your talents, you seem to be familiar with the chef?"


    "It''s just a acquaintance." Li Qinghe said calmly, "I want to ask him to help collect a few fish, but I want to help you keep a living, I''m afraid it won''t work." After that, he pulled out his sleeves and turned around and went out.


    Zhao Wanwan wanted to chase again, someone in the kitchen shouted, "Where is the fire burning? Where are you lazy?"


    No matter he was unwilling, he could only go in, "coming."


    After leaving the kitchen, Li Qinghe shook his head, no longer thinking about Zhao Wanwan.


    There are still too few chickens in the house, but the chicks all depend on their own incubation, plus the premature death, this is much more difficult than feeding fish.


    She and Zhou Chengkang went to the seed shop. They usually grow barley and rice. She doesn''t have a paddy field. Naturally, she can''t grow rice, so she can only buy barley.


    When the two returned home, it was still early, and Qian came from the other side dragging his feet. His shirt was patched old clothes. This was when he came back from the ground. At this hour, he probably came back to cook.


    "When you went to town, why didn''t you bring some buns and bones back?" Qian looked at it and frowned.


    Li Qinghe said casually, "It''s too late, it''s gone."


    "You go back," Li Qinghe urged Zhou Chengkang on his side, the color on the side was not so good, "I''ll go home and cook."


    Zhou Chengkang looked at her and wanted to touch her comforting. He had to give up thinking that Qian was around, "Don''t think too much, look forward."


    When he left, Li Qinghe came in, and Qian poked his head out of the kitchen, "Hurry up and help, can you still eat?"


    In a preaching tone, Li Qinghe originally planned to help with cooking. Her attitude was too natural to be used to her problem, so she turned around and walked in, "I''m not hungry."


    You don¡¯t have to make it if you don¡¯t eat it.


    Sure enough, Qian didn''t say any more, and shrank back with a sneer.


    When the meal was ready, she really took all of it to the field, leaving nothing behind. Li Qinghe was not angry, and went to the kitchen to do it herself.


    The weather gradually warmed up, and every family started to plant in spring. Li Qinghe was a wasteland. The two races of her and Zhou Chengkang were actually very slow. She was not in a hurry. When Li Xingwang''s family finished planting, she invited their family. All planted.


    After planting over there, Li Fu hasn''t finished planting yet. Qian was unwell and rested at home. Li Qinghe went to help planting for a day.


    When the father and daughter came back at night, they found the cold pot and stove, and the food hadn''t started. Naturally, it was impossible for Li Fu to cook. Li Qinghe went into the kitchen by herself. She was really hungry.


    May as well Li Fu grabbed her, "Don''t do it, take a break, I''ll let your Aunt Qian do it."


    However, after looking around the house twice, no one was seen.


    After the father and daughter looked at each other, Li Qinghe went to the kitchen to cook, and Li Fu ran to help her set the fire.


    The two of them had just put their food on the table, and the outside was dark. Li Fu looked out several times and his complexion was not good enough. After the two of them had finished eating, Li Fu was going to look for it, and he came back by himself.


    "Where have you been? Can''t you see when it gets dark? Where can I find you if something happens?"


    When Li Fu first came back, he was tired and hungry. He was so angry that he would have eaten and anger for the most part, but his tone was not very good.


    Qian was very happy at first, and frowned upon hearing this, "Yanxi and they left, I''ll send it off."


    Li Fu snorted, "Who did you say hello to the town? You can''t come back soon."


    "What can happen so close?" Qian was disapproving.


    Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Li Qinghe went back to the room by himself, intending to avoid it, but he heard Qian''s dissatisfaction under the eaves, "Qinghe told you something again, when I come back to you The nose is not the nose and the face is not the face. Who will show you the face?"


    The conscience of heaven and earth, Li Qinghe does sometimes say that the Qian family is not good, but he speaks the truth and has never arranged it. And she really didn¡¯t say anything today. No matter who you encounter with this kind of thing today, you are going to get angry. She was hungry when she came back, and she almost quit. I will hear what Qian said. Immediately he became angry and stopped returning to the room. He turned around and reentered the main room, saying, "I will let the Zhou family see the wedding date and get married as soon as possible."


    Li Fu was taken aback, when he wanted to speak, Li Qinghe had already turned and left.


    She and Qian looked at each other and disliked each other, but Li Fu couldn''t let go of them, and they would leave sooner or later, so let''s get married earlier. Besides, marrying Zhou Chengkang is still pretty good.


    The latter is more important.


    When she went to the pond the next morning, Zhou Chengkang was already there and had finished feeding the fish. The two said some fry and chicks, and they heard him suddenly say, "Qinghe, let''s get married. I''ll cook for you in the future."


    This still cares about the attitude that Qian¡¯s took for granted yesterday. Li Qinghe looked into his eyes, "Okay."


    "Did you agree?" Zhou Chengkang was immediately overjoyed, and stretched out his hand to hold her, "I will let people go to see the day immediately."


    The two were very happy when they decided this. Zhou Chengkang was anxious, and while Li Qinghe was watching here, he ran to find Xipo.


    News broke out in the afternoon that the fourth wedding of Zhou¡¯s family was scheduled for the fifth day of April, two months before now.


    This news is not surprising. When the two of them years ago, Zhou Chengkang helped fish and sell fish every day, and after the new year he helped to grow the land, and even watched the shack built by the chickens. He lived in this way. Get close, you will get married sooner or later.


    In fact, if it weren¡¯t for the two to get close, someone would actually come to discuss marriage with Li Qinghe. It¡¯s really what she has on hand that makes people eye-catching. Whoever marries her would be married with a dozen taels of silver to enter the door. A fish pond, that pond is a hen who can lay golden eggs and earns an income every year.


    The wedding date is set, and the two get along the same as before. Maybe they are still a little different. They are more intimate. It should be that Zhou Chengkang is more confident and often holds her hand. It can be seen that he is looking forward to getting married.


    When the marriage is set, you have to start preparing the dowry. Yu Yan even came over to express her joy when the two married, and smiled and asked her, "Should I ask me to embroider your wedding dress?"


    The girls of the villagers usually only have a little embroidered wedding dresses for the married couple, and there is even no embroidery. She probably knows that she is not willing to go to the Zhang family. The fabrics of the wedding dresses prepared by Xu''s family are specially designed for people. Back, a rare piece of bright red cloth. Li Qinghe can only embroider some simple ones, "I will do my own wedding dress. I have already thought about your work. You help me embroider the happy quilt."


    Hearing that, Yu Yan was not upset, and even teased her, "Then I like being taken, can I embroider pomegranates for you? The implication is good, after the cover is covered, you will give birth to a child..."


    Li Qinghe glared at her, "Embroiders me better."


    Yu Yan laughed loudly. After she finished her laughter, she said, "I will go to the cloth shop with you to select embroidery thread. I promise to look good."


    Marriage is very tedious, Xu is inconvenient to help, Qian doesn¡¯t count on it, and Li Qinghe prepares everything by herself. The next day, she first selected the quilt, fabric and embroidery thread, and took the size measured by Zhou Chengkang. Go to town to make furniture.


    At this time, Zhou Chengkang, mother and son, brought the matchmaker to the door and sent the bride price.


    The betrothal gift of Zhou''s family is quite satisfactory, the dim sum melon seed fabric, this fabric includes the bride and parents alone. It''s worth mentioning that five taels of silver were put on Li Qinghe''s cloth.


    A small silver ingot, in this village of Wang, can be regarded as a great sincerity, and no one has sent it so generously. Either it is the same as the dowry between the Hu family and Zhao Wanwan, and it is impossible to make a decision without discussing it a few times. Let¡¯s say it¡¯s a betrothal gift. In fact, the conditions were negotiated. For example, the Hu family meant that they could help the Li family save food taxes in the future.


    But there are no conditions at all, and Li Qinghe was also quite surprised. He watched Zhou Chengkang several times.


    You don''t have to think about it to know that Zhou''s mother didn''t give this silver, but he must have saved it himself. When?


    No matter what you think, the marriage is settled.


    When asked in private the next day, Zhou Chengkang said helplessly, "It''s not mine, it''s borrowed."


    Li Qinghe was suspicious. She didn''t ask for five taels of silver. What''s the matter?


    Seeing her doubts, Zhou Chengkang explained in a low voice, "Mother borrowed it, I promised. The third brother is five taels, so naturally you can''t be less."


    The author has something to say: see you tomorrow evening

 Chapter 38： Borrow silver

    For this reason, Li Qinghe was convinced.


    "In other words, we still have to pay off the debt in the future, right?" Needless to say, we all know that ten taels of silver must be borrowed. If the Zhou family can get it, the marriage of the Zhou family brothers will not be done. such.


    Zhou Chengkang did not refute, with a guilty expression on his face, "In the future, I will make money for you. I will do what you ask me to do, and I will keep all the money I earn. Let me drive chickens and never drive dogs."


    Seeing Li Qinghe staring at him, he smiled and explained in a low voice, "There is a lot of involvement here. The third brother borrowed it, and the Zhang family insisted. If I don''t borrow it, this debt is completely mother''s, then what will she do for the rest of her life? You don¡¯t have to do it, just pay off the debt, maybe it¡¯s not over. But if I take five taels, things will be different, and then..." The Zhou family boss and second child are involved here. People are definitely not willing to help. In the end, it must be the one who paid it back.


    Zhou Chengkang feeds the fish, and Li Qinghe goes to see the chickens. The day is fine, but the night is very cold. The chickens are not long, and the hair looks messy. It seems a little embarrassed, "Would you like a fire pot? Separate the sides and keep them away. It should be better if you get closer."


    Zhou Chengkang listened carefully, "I will try."


    After planting in spring, the villagers actually weed the weeds at ordinary times and are not too busy.


    When Zhao Wanwan was there, she didn¡¯t think that one month after she left, Li Qinghe went to the backyard to pick up vegetables, and suddenly felt wrong. The stubble of vegetables in the past was still eating here, but they have grown out over there. , But now, there are only a few old food gangsters left, and they will be deserted after they are cut. Seeing these few vegetables are eaten, there is no more food at home.


    She didn''t say anything about this. If Li Fu talked more about it, he would still feel provocative. Li Qinghe didn¡¯t stop talking, she also ran to take a **** and dig the ground to plant vegetables. No matter how she saved it, she ate it after two or three months. At that time, she was also married. When there was no food at home, Li Fu Naturally, I know.


    Someone knocked on the door outside when they were planting vegetables. After a while, Yu Yan went to the backyard and lowered her voice, "Are you still growing vegetables?"


    Li Qinghe understood what she meant. It was time to prepare for the marriage. It was too late to embroider the wedding dress. Besides, Yu Yan lived near and found that Qian did not like to work.


    She smiled disapprovingly, "I want to eat too." Although she has been helping in the town for the past two years, she did eat at home in the past few months, and she should grow vegetables.


    "That''s true." Yu Yan squatted aside, holding her face to watch her work.


    She didn¡¯t care much about her image. Li Qinghe glanced at her and saw that she seemed to be in a daze, and asked, "Look at you like this? Something?"


    Yu Yan looked at her, "Xu Changjie has come to me again, saying that he is pleased with me, if I am also willing, he is willing to fight for her mother''s side. What do you think...How about the Xu family?"


    "Not good." Li Qinghe shook his head, "I have a good relationship with you, and I''ll tell you the truth, Xu Changjie and the girl from the Yang family in town, many people have seen the things between the two of them. What do you think of him? ?"


    "Good-looking!" She said with a firm tone, and tentatively said, "By the way, the Yang family doesn''t like him either. I heard that the Yang family is already negotiating marriage."


    Li Qinghe was speechless, and asked, "You look good, and you have craftsmanship. Your craftsmanship is more profitable than a man. If you don''t have any, you have to look for him? That day, if his mother is like that, you are not afraid?"


    "You seem to have a prejudice against him?" Yu Yan wondered, "You don''t know the Xu family, right?"


    Then I can''t tell you what happened after I married into Xu''s family for a few years. Li Qinghe waved his hand, "You are right, I have a prejudice against him, you can weigh it yourself, if you ask me whether the Xu family is good, I will just use two words!"


    not good! !


    Yu Yan nodded, "I understand." She stood up and grabbed the seeds on the side, and helped her sow them in the dug pit.


    Planting vegetables is actually very fast. In one day, he can plant all the ground in the backyard, including the corners. The next day, Li Qinghe went to the field to feed the fish and chickens, and spent the rest of the time at home embroidering the dowry.


    Zhou Chengkang took her to the town to look at the furniture that day. It is said that the game was almost done. If it''s all right, you have to take the time to pull it back. When getting into the carriage, Zhou Chengkang gestured to the carriage. Li Qinghe was surprised and opened the curtain to see Zhang Haiyao sitting in the carriage carrying a baggage.


    "Qinghe, come up soon." Seeing her lift the curtain, she greeted her with special warmth, "Sit here, you are welcome."


    Li Qinghe: "..." My own fiance, I won''t be polite.


    "I''m just sitting outside." Li Qinghe refused with a smile. Zhang Haiyao stretched out his hand and couldn''t help but said to pull her in, "Come in and let''s talk."


    In fact, it was a bit embarrassing and unfamiliar, but the relationship between the two was so close that they could not be cold, so Li Qinghe thought about sitting outside. Now that she came in, she smiled and asked, "Where is Sansao going?"


    "I''ll go back to my family." Zhang Haiyao smiled, "I still want to ask you to go home."


    Zhang Haiyao''s father and Xu''s Master Zhang are cousins. Since the two have no other brothers, this cousin gets along the same as a real brother.


    She immediately refused, "I won''t go. I''m a bit busy today. I have to go to see the furniture. If it''s OK, I have to pull it back today and find a good place to keep it away from moisture.


    "That''s it," Zhang Haiyao''s face was stunned, and her voice lowered a little, "Actually, I think we two are very destined. We are still sisters, and we have to be concubines in the future."


    This sister, from the Xu family, if Xu takes her into the Zhang family and can barely be regarded as the daughter of the Zhang family, then she is indeed a sister, but she has never been to the Zhang family a few times, and everyone agrees Not complete, let alone Zhang Haiyao, even Zhang Haiyao''s father, she also didn''t know her, what kind of sister is this?


    At the moment she smiled and did not answer, waiting for her to continue.


    However, Zhang Haiyao talked about the child born to the Xu family, "Haiya has been studying for a few years, and in two years he may be able to go to the county to participate in the county test. If he wins fame, his identity will be different. "


    She was talking about it, and she didn''t know what she was going to say. She was able to go to town in a horse-drawn carriage. Seeing that it was all at the entrance of the town, she still didn''t say anything.


    After the separation, Li Qinghe asked in a low voice, "You Sansao, what do you want to do?"


    Zhou Chengkang was also suspicious, "It''s probably just chatting, why don''t you sit in embarrassment."


    That¡¯s right. Li Qinghe didn¡¯t take it to heart. She went to the furniture store. She made two sets of tables and chairs, as well as the cabinets and dressing table in the house, including the wooden basin. But all girls with better backgrounds would I prepared these. Now that I''ve done it, I pulled it back. While the guy was helping to move to the carriage, Qianlaiman came over to the furniture shop opposite, "Qinghe, are these yours?"


    "Yes." Li Qinghe was able to face him calmly.


    Qian Laiman seemed quite calm, "Why don''t I go to my side, I can do something for you, and I can tell the owner that it is cheaper for you."


    Zhou Chengkang came over, smiled and said, "I know it here, and it''s also cheap."


    He pushed back without being soft or hard, Qian Lai full of smiles reluctantly, "I haven''t congratulated you yet."


    "I heard that your marriage date is earlier than us, so why don''t you see your engagement date?" Zhou Chengkang looked at the opposite person, "No matter how much money you make, you should also pay attention to your daughter-in-law. You still have to marry home before you feel relieved."


    Hearing the last sentence, Li Qinghe pinched him secretly, Zhou Chengkang did not change his face, "You must come by then."


    The furniture was installed over there, and the two of them got on the carriage. They could still see the sight of the money coming from behind. This time both of them were sitting outside, just listening to him, "When I can''t see his ulterior motives?" Also snorted softly.


    Li Qinghe laughed. It was not the market today. There were not many people in the town. There were almost no people returning to the village. They thought they would come home all the time. I didn¡¯t expect that when I left the town, I saw Zhang Haiyao standing by the road with a bag on his back, watching When they reached the two, they waved quickly.


    When Zhou Chengkang''s carriage stopped, Zhang Haiyao climbed up. Seeing the stuffed inside, she was a little startled, "How to sit here?"


    "I can''t sit anymore." Zhou Chengkang thought for a while, "Why don''t I go back first, and then pick up Sansao later?"


    "It''s okay." She grabbed Li Qinghe, "You go back first. Qinghe and I will walk slowly, and we can talk."


    Watching the carriage leave, Li Qinghe looked at her, "Sansao is looking for something to do with me?"


    Zhang Haiyao was a little embarrassed when he was said to be thinking centrally. "There are indeed some things to discuss with you. Some things are complicated, let''s talk slowly.


    Li Qinghe walked away, Zhang Haiyao ran to catch up, "There are some things you don''t know, and your mother didn''t tell you. On the Haiya side, the eldest aunt didn''t want him to continue his education anymore, so he asked him to go home and study the accounts at the shop. , Will be Mr. Accountant in the future."


    Regarding the child born to the Xu family, Li Qinghe has not seen him a few times in her two lifetimes. He said that she was a half-sibling. Basically, she went to town to find the Xu family and couldn¡¯t see anyone. In fact, it was not as good as Zhao Wanwan. This unrelated sister is familiar.


    Having said this, Zhang Haiyao paused and waited for Li Qinghe to ask, but when she saw that she continued to move forward without looking back, she had to catch up, "Your mother can''t help it. I beg my father."


    Li Qinghe finally turned around and looked at her, "What do you say?"


    Seeing her reacting, Zhang Haiyao was a little complacent, "My father is still thinking about it. He has a good relationship with his second uncle. If he really starts to intercede, his second uncle will definitely agree."


    "Does your father agree?" Li Qinghe asked.


    "Yes." Zhang Haiyao said with a smile, "Haiya will be able to end after two years of study. This is what my father said. I just want to..." She paused, "I am looking for you to borrow some money. ."


    Borrow money?


    Going around in such a big circle is to borrow money. Seeing the complacency between her eyebrows, I''m afraid I never thought that Li Qinghe would not borrow, let alone repay the money.


    Listening to what she said just now, she only said to borrow, but did not say how long to pay it back.


    The two walked for a while, and seeing her silent, Zhang Haiyao couldn''t help but said, "They are all relatives, everyone should help each other."


    "I don''t have any extra silver." Li Qinghe finally looked at her, "My silver is all urgently needed."


    Zhang Haiyao was stunned, staying on the spot, reacting quickly, and chasing him a few steps, "No, my father will help Haiya intercede. He spends too much money on studying for a year, and the eldest aunt is not willing to pay the money. Without my father, Haiya would definitely not be able to read it!"


    She almost yelled the last sentence, still a little frustrated.


    Li Qinghe turned around and spread his hands. "So many people don''t know how to write, and they don''t live a lifetime. Besides, he still has his parents, studying and taking the county exam, including marrying a wife and having children, so I can''t worry about it!"


    The author has something to say: see you tomorrow evening

 Chapter 39： Welcome

    She took it for granted. This time it was Zhang Haiyao''s turn to be speechless. After a while, she said, "Haiya is your younger brother, so don''t you worry about his future at all?"


    "He has parents, and I can''t take care of them myself. How can I have time to worry about others?" Li Qinghe is really indifferent. She will sincerely expect him to be well, but if she wants her to embarrass her to help herself, it might not be enough. To. Furthermore, Xu''s temperament might not necessarily suffer. If it is true that Haiya has a talent for reading as Zhang Haiyao said, Xu would definitely find a way to let him read.


    She looked cold, Zhang Haiyao really didn''t know how to persuade her.


    The two were speechless all the way, and after a while, they saw Zhou Chengkang''s carriage coming from a distance. Li Qinghe secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and soon arrived home.


    The furniture has been moved to the house by Li Fu. The wood is strong. Li Qinghe chose the most solid wood. The pattern is not forced. Compared with Zhao Wanwan¡¯s, it seems a bit less fancy, but at first glance, it can be used for many years. Kind.


    "It doesn''t look good." Qian swept around, "How did you choose this style, this kind of best done, no wonder it''s so fast." His tone was full of disdain.


    Li Fu glared at her, "As long as you talk a lot, hurry up and cook."


    Qian turned around and left without saying hello, "Qinghe, come and help."


    Li Qinghe responded and was about to go back to the room to change clothes. She didn''t plan to help with cooking. Anyway, helping with the dishes is considered a help. It''s not that she can''t do these tasks, but she just doesn''t want to let the Qian family mean. , She was also aggrieved to make her scream.


    Li Fu on the side pulled down her sleeve, "Qinghe, put it away." Fei express delivered a piece of silver, almost one or two.


    Li Qinghe was surprised, but didn''t pick it up, "Daddy keep it for yourself."


    "If you give it to you," he couldn''t help but put it in her hands, and then asked, "Hurry up and don''t let your Aunt Qian see it. I don''t have the money to give it to her."


    Li Qinghe''s mouth couldn''t help but twitched. It''s hard for him to have this heart, but he doesn''t have to return it, he can return it later when he needs it.


    The house where the dowry was piled up gradually became full, and there were more and more things. When the chicks she raised at the beginning had no yellow hairs and were bigger than her palms, the wedding date finally arrived.


    The wedding dress was embroidered by herself, and all the quilts were embroidered by Yu Yan. She embroiders well, and the whole Luoyue Town dare not say, but in Wang Village, there is no such beautiful quilt.


    The Qian family is still fine. After Li Fuzhi prepared the dishes, the Qian family invited many close people to help prepare. Li Qinghe did not go to work, and she did not come to look for them. Not only did not look, but to outsiders. At that time, she wiped her tears several times to express her dismay for Li Qinghe''s "good-looking" daughter.


    The most worthy of discussion is Li Qinghe¡¯s dowry. Only the pile of stuff in the house, you can see that a lot of money has been spent, not to mention there are ten acres of land and the pond. He started to raise chickens. Whoever married her would marry a lot of things. From now on, Zhou''s fourth child should have a good life.


    So much dowry is worth so much money. It is a lie to say that Qian has not touched her mind. It''s just that she was pressed down by Li Fu when she showed a little air.


    There were also many people who looked at the house secretly and expressed their feelings, why did they look at the Zhou family, except for a carriage, but the Zhou family was poor or poor.


    There are many people who are envious, and there are red eyes, but no matter what, it does not affect Li Qinghe''s good mood.


    Most of the people on the previous day were helping to tell some jokes. Early the next morning, many people came to the yard. When the sun got up, the yard was already very lively, and Li Qinghe had changed into a red wedding dress. She made it herself, pinched her waistline, and she walked around with a slim waist, very beautiful.


    Yu Yan helped to paint the makeup. Since Li Qinghe has been helping in the town, he actually has no familiar friends in the village. Except for Yu Yan, it is the green garden of the eldest mother''s home.


    Seeing the girl in the mirror with delicate makeup and smiling eyebrows, Li Qinghe was a little embarrassed. Compared with her plain face full of anxiety in her previous life, she is very different and has the same feelings, such as the same hope for the future.


    "It''s so beautiful that I was in a daze when I saw it. When I saw it on Thursday, I was afraid that I would be so fascinated that I couldn''t find Bei." Yu Yan laughed, and Qingyuan beside her laughed.


    Suddenly there was a lively outside, Yu Yan ran to the door and took a look, and smiled, "Here."


    When she sent her out, Yu Yan''s eyes were a little red, "You are my first friend here. Be happy."


    Li Qinghe was in a complicated mood, and after hugging her, he whispered, "The same is true for you, be happy."


    After speaking, he stepped out. Zhou Chengkang was dressed in a red gown, his already white teeth were a little whiter, and the smile on his face had never fallen. He saw her go out, his hand extended towards her, his eyes looked expectant.


    Li Qinghe looked at him for a long while, suddenly smiled, put his hand into his big hand, and in the next moment, his hand was tightly held by him, "It looks good," he whispered.


    Her face became hot immediately.


    When everyone around saw it, they laughed. The two went to the hall hand in hand, where Li Fu was already sitting on the head, waiting for her to say goodbye.


    Li Qinghe walked to the entrance of the hall and suddenly looked out of the courtyard. When Zhou Chengkang saw this, he asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at?"


    After watching for a long while, no one came over, Li Qinghe shook his head slightly, and stepped forward to enter the door, but saw the crowd in the yard a little commotion, "Here is coming..."


    "I''m so embarrassed..."


    "Girls who are married, really should come back." Someone applauded.


    Li Qinghe stopped and turned around, and saw a carriage coming quickly. Xu opened the curtain. As soon as the carriage stopped, he jumped from above and hurried in.


    Xu came in and saw a daughter in a wedding dress looking at her with a smile, and the anxiety in her heart immediately disappeared. He stretched out his hand to help her smooth her hair, with affection in her eyes, "You''ve grown up, didn''t you come late?"


    "No." Li Qinghe was very happy and made no secret of it.


    At this time, the Qian family didn''t know where to hide, she might not have planned to come over to receive the gift when she wanted to come, Li Qinghe kowtow to Li Fu and Xu family.


    It was not until she left the house that Qian was seen standing at the door of the kitchen. His complexion was not very good. Li Qinghe went over and bowed. In any case, Qian did not deliberately treat harshly when she was a child, it was enough.


    She gave a generous gift here, and many people nodded secretly. Qian had been in the door for many years and it was time to receive the gift.


    After the ceremony was over, Zhou Chengkang took her out. There was no sedan chair. His carriage had already stopped at the door, and the curtains were all red.


    I took a carriage here to Zhou''s house, but it took a few breaths, but Zhou Chengkang felt that it was not enough. He took her out of the village and went around for a long time, laughing loudly along the way, very happy.


    Li Qinghe also laughed. When the two looked at each other, they could see their smiling brows in each other''s eyes. The hands they were holding were getting tighter and tighter. He went round and returned to Zhou''s door. When he got off the carriage, he whispered, " Qinghe, I finally married you. I have waited for a long time on this day, and I will treat you well in the future." He has a serious tone with moist eyes.


    Li Qinghe''s eyes are red, and she knows how long he has been waiting, "I will treat you well too."


    Not everyone can guard the tombstone for a lifetime.


    The two got out of the carriage and walked into the chapel. The marriage at the farm was very simple. The ceremony was done here, and there was a banquet outside. When the meal was finished, the marriage was completed.


    The two people¡¯s new house was built last year. It was bright and dazzling. It was vacant earlier. Li Qinghe¡¯s furniture has already been put in, and the fragrance of wood. Compared with the old house, the new house looks much brighter. Up.


    When Li Qinghe came out again, most of the people in the yard had already dispersed, and the whole day went smoothly today. I hope her life will be as smooth as today''s marriage.


    In the afternoon, the guests were gone, and the yard began to be cleaned. This is not necessary for her. There are sister-in-law and her mother-in-law, Zhou Mu and Friday sister, Zhang Haiyao and Li Qingmiao have not left yet, so they consciously help, so much People, in any case, it is not her turn to be a bride to clean.


    She sat in the room and watched several people working from the window. The sister-in-law and her mother-in-law, including Zhou Mu, and the fifth sister were very serious. The one who swept the table was Zhang Haiyao carrying a kerchief and wiping the table with a fork. The veil was pinched by **** around her waist, for fear of getting her hands dirty, and she might not be too important to wipe the delicate porcelain with such strength, which made people worried. Li Qingmiao on the side wiped all three tables twice, and she was still touching them, half of which was not finished.


    This came in, and the excitement of getting married faded. She suddenly remembered that she seemed to have so many people in her family from now on, and couldn''t help asking, "When your family eats, can you sit down so many people?"


    Zhou Chengkang was also wiping the table, but it was a new one from the house. These were piled up there for a month after they moved back from the town, and they were carried over again today. They can''t be seen dirty, but they still have to be wiped to feel clean. He was wiping seriously, and he turned his head when he heard the words and smiled, "We will eat in two tables."


    With so many people, I am afraid that most of the food is needed to make a meal, and even the rations of the family have to be prepared.


    When it came time for dinner, there were indeed two tables. The two small tables in the room were crowded. It is conceivable that if there are more children in two years, there will be three tables.


    "Qinghe, sit here." Mother Zhou smiled and patted the chair next to her.


    Li Qinghe smiled, "Mother."


    "Hey." Zhou Mu was very happy. Li Qinghe called out the eldest brother and sister-in-law over there again, as well as Old Lady Liu. When it was Li Qingmiao''s turn, she raised her chin with a smile on her face, quite proud, and waited for her to shout.


    Li Qinghe laughed, "Second Sister-in-law."


    Hearing this, Li Qingmiao was very happy, smiled and patted her shoulder, "Second Sister-in-law will love you in the future..." Before finishing speaking, he laughed.


    Li Qinghe called the third brother and sister-in-law again, Zhang Haiyao responded, but did not look at her, just looked at the food on the table, "I have been working for a long time, and I am starving to death." Smiling and asked Zhou Mu, "Mother, can you eat it? ?"


    The meal was also quite lively. A few brothers from Zhou''s family, Zhou''s mother, and Wife Liu sat at a table, and a few daughter-in-laws and five sisters sat at a table. The table was not big, so I could only say it was just right.


    When the meal was over, Li Qinghe discovered that there are actually benefits to being crowded. He was quick to clean up the dishes, and he was done with one trip alone.


    The sister-in-law was washing the dishes. She had a thin frame and good looks. She smiled shyly at her. She was more embarrassed than her bride, and pushed her out, "I don''t need you, there will always be opportunities in the future."


    The author has something to say: Separation should be fast, leisurely knows. Today I¡¯m writing very slowly, every time I am a pro, it will be very slow, good night everyone

 Chapter 40： Debt repayment

    Many people in the room were noisy. When they saw her coming in, Zhou''s mother smiled and urged, "Everyone is tired today, so go back to bed earlier."


    Zhou Chengkang helped her fetch water and wash, and the two of them returned to the room after washing. It is worth mentioning that there are two water rooms in Zhou''s family, which are divided into men and women.


    "It was the third sister-in-law who wanted it, and my mother also thought it was more convenient for the two. They were built a few days ago." Zhou Chengkang explained in a low voice, pulling her in the door and helping her wipe her hair.


    Her hair was thick and dense, and it took a long time to wipe and half dry, and she was close. Zhou Chengkang only felt that the sweet fragrance on her body was rushing to the end of her nose. He couldn''t help throwing away the veil, taking her into his arms from behind, and placing his hands on her. On the slender waist, he sighed contentedly, "I finally married you."


    Li Qinghe laughed.


    Hearing her chuckle, Zhou Chengkang heard her hair, very satisfied, "I always feel unreal."


    Li Qinghe couldn''t laugh or cry, stretched out his hand to push him, "My hair is still dry, hurry up and move away. I hold it all, still feel unreal?"


    He couldn''t push away. Instead, he bent over and hugged her. Seeing that she was about to exclaim, he sighed and whispered, "There are many people outside."


    Li Qinghe glared at him and whispered, "Candlelight."


    The room was lit, and occasionally people''s shadows would be reflected on the window. Zhou Chengkang smiled at her clearly, placed her gently on the red Baizixi blanket, got up and blew out the candle.


    The night is still long.


    The next morning, Li Qinghe was awakened by the person in his ear, instead of using sound, he just blew and blew there. When he opened his eyes, he saw the sky outside and it was still early, so he turned and stared at him, "You are not tired." ?"


    "I''m not tired." Zhou Chengkang reached out and hugged her, "I didn''t fall asleep last night, thinking about being nice to you, in our days, our children..."


    Li Qinghe couldn''t bear it and covered his head with the quilt, "I''m tired!"


    Behind him was his low laughter, and it was impossible to sleep. The two of them got up early, went to the pond to feed the fish, and looked at the chicks. They died a few days ago, and a lot of them died now. The weather is warm, and the chicken is much bigger, basically no dead.


    After feeding the fish and chickens, I went to the field to look at the crops. This wasteland is not a little bit different. The seedlings in the land are lush and lush, but the seedlings that grow out here are not tall. They are yellow and dying. .


    "It should be better next year." Zhou Chengkang comforted.


    When the two returned home, the sun came out. The fifth sister in the yard was feeding the pigs. Zhang Haiyao''s exaggerated voice was the first to hear, "The sun is already high, and I haven''t gotten up yet. I thought I was lazy. what¡­¡­"


    Zhou Laosan frowned when he saw the two people outside the courtyard, "Say a few words."


    Hearing that, Zhang Haiyao became more and more annoyed, "Why don''t you say nothing, there is one more person in this family, why is it my turn to cook?"


    In a blink of an eye, I saw the two people at the door, and looked a little surprised at Zhou Chengkang''s house over there, and then at the two people at the door, "Are you out?"


    "Go to feed the fish." Zhou Chengkang''s expression was cold and solemn, "Sansao may not cook our meals in the future."


    Originally, Zhang Haiyao felt embarrassed. People came back from going out to work. It was not because she was too lazy to get up. When she heard this, she couldn''t help her, "Speaking lightly. If I don¡¯t cook your food alone, mother is there. Time to train me."


    Zhou Chengkang did not answer this, but looked at Zhou Lao San.


    Zhou Laosan immediately scolded, "My mother never trained you."


    Zhang Haiyao gave a cold snort and turned into the kitchen.


    Li Qinghe and the two went to the well to wash their hands. He whispered, "In the morning, the eldest brother and they will take the aunt to sell tofu in town. They get up early in the morning and go to bed early at night. Basically, they only have a meal at home. Basically, they don¡¯t come back to eat. Usually the third brother and the others eat at home most often, and my mother lets the third sister and the fifth sister cook at home, so they don¡¯t have to go to the ground."


    With this calculation, when Zhou Chengkang was not married, there were not many people eating at home.


    I heard Zhang Haiyao shouting over there, "Qinghe, come in and help me set a fire."


    Zhou Chengkang patted her on the shoulder and pushed her into the room, "I didn''t sleep well last night, so I went back and rested quickly."


    He didn''t sleep well, but he was the culprit.


    Seeing him entering the kitchen, Li Qinghe frowned and followed in. He saw that he had already burnt the fire, and Zhang Haiyao looked at him in amazement, "No, why are you here, what does this look like?"


    "Can''t I burn it?" Zhou Chengkang asked back.


    "Your daughter-in-law is too shameless, where can you come to work and she will rest..." Before the voice fell, Li Qinghe had already stood at the kitchen door, "I''ll do it."


    Having said that, Zhou Chengkang could not be helped but pushed out.


    "That''s the truth." Zhang Haiyao was very satisfied, "I tell you, in the future, we will cook the meals in this house one person a day, or one person one meal, and the sister-in-law will wash the dishes. This is the rule set by my mother when I walk in."


    Li Qinghe responded and had no objection. When eating breakfast, there were indeed a lot fewer people than last night. There was only a table set up. Just after eating, there were people outside without clearing the dishes.


    He was accompanied by a woman in her fifties who was neatly dressed and 90% new.


    Mother Zhou hurriedly greeted, "Auntie, come sit down."


    He also introduced Li Qinghe, "This is my aunt, you can call my aunt, she has helped our family a lot."


    Li Qinghe yelled someone obediently. Aunt He was very happy. After looking up and down, she praised, "I am a good girl, the fourth child is blessed."


    The guests came over there, and they hurriedly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. When Li Qinghe finished cleaning the table and was about to leave, Zhou''s mother called her, "Qinghe, call your Sansao and them all to discuss something."


    As early as when people came in, Li Qinghe had guessed. Yesterday''s happy event came back today. It looked like... from debt collection.


    You must know that most of the gifts given by people at present are copper plates. Yesterday the Zhou family received nearly a couple of silver.


    She didn¡¯t ask too much, just knowing something in her heart. Zhang Haiyao was puzzled when she said that there was something to discuss. When everyone was there, the aunt smiled, ¡°It¡¯s difficult for Zhou¡¯s family that day. Two silvers. A few days ago, my son wanted to move to the town. He chose a yard. The yard is really good. The light, feng shui and size are all suitable. We have watched it for a few years, and finally met It is suitable, but the silver is a little bit of a hand..."


    Everyone has understood the unfinished meaning.


    Mother Zhou was a little nervous, Li Qinghe lowered her head and said nothing, Zhang Haiyao over there immediately said, "I remember that my quilt hasn''t been dried yet, and I will come soon."


    Wanting to know that after running away, she won''t come back again, Zhou Mother said hurriedly, "Haiyao, don''t worry about drying the quilt for a while."


    Zhang Haiyao, who turned around, looked very ugly, and her tone was not polite, "What do you want to say?"


    Zhou''s mother lowered her eyes, "Zhou''s family is poor, everyone knows that when the boss got his wife, he only took five coins for a small set. The second child also used five coins for making new clothes. I know, mine. My mother didn¡¯t do well and made them feel wronged. But when I got to the third child, I made a small set of three or two, and then you had to pay five or two for the betrothal gift. I didn¡¯t say anything about it when I got off the sedan chair. I have spent so much money."


    "What do you want to do now?" Zhang Haiyao looked straight at her, "I have been in the door for a few months, and now you settle these accounts with me, what do you want to do? How can you let the daughter-in-law pay off your betrothal debt? I''m afraid I will laugh out loud when I say it out."


    "I want to borrow the silver." Zhou Laosan gave her a handful. "At the beginning I said I couldn''t get the betrothal gift. You let me borrow it."


    "Fart!" Zhang Haiyao was angry, "I asked you to borrow it. I didn''t say that this bill is waiting for me to pay it back."


    Seeing this, Aunt He got up and said, "You can discuss it, and I will come back tomorrow." She added, "The yard will be paid for the land lease the day after tomorrow."


    After speaking, she went out first.


    He''s walking behind sighed, "Don''t blame your mother, she is already bitter enough." Then he looked at Zhang Haiyao, "Don''t think that our Zhou family lied to you, when the third child was with you, in your heart It¡¯s clear that Zhou¡¯s family has to have so many dowry gifts. For a normal marriage, Xiaoding plus dowry and door-to-door gifts will cost you two taels of silver at most. You want so much. You only know why."


    "What am I doing for?" Zhang Haiyao asked, "What happened to my married couple getting the bride price?"


    "The daughters of the mayor''s family don''t have to marry a couple like you. I''m not afraid to tell you, you just want to give you all the savings of the Zhou family''s brothers for many years." He''s tone is solemn and unceremonious. Pierced her mind. Looking at Zhou Chengcai, "The third child, you must marry this daughter-in-law. If you are married, you should have a man to take care of it. Do you want your mother to pay you off the debt?"


    Zhou Chengcai didn''t say a word. Zhang Haiyao became even more angry when he saw this. Yu Guang glanced at the silent fourth couple on the side. His inspiration flashed, "Where is Qinghe?


    Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "I didn''t want my one, but the Zhou family took the initiative to send it." In the words, there was no intention to show it.


    Upon seeing this, Zhang Haiyao was a little proud and said quickly, "Unless she pays it back, otherwise I won''t pay it back!"


    He Shi waved his hand, "I''m back, you can discuss it yourself."


    Zhou''s mother looked sad, "I''m not afraid to tell you that in order to marry a few of you, the food was sold out last year, and now the food is borrowed, waiting to be repaid after the autumn harvest."


    There was a moment of silence in the room, and Zhang Haiyao frowned, "If you can''t get through, you will split up and find your own mouth."


    As soon as he said this, the room became quieter.


    Parents are here, regardless of family. Separating families in advance always means cursing the elders to die quickly. Mother Zhou closed her eyes and waved her hand for a long while, "I have raised you up to now, and ask myself that I am worthy of the Zhou family. Wait a while for the boss and them to come back, and then invite the second child. Let me make it clear today."


    "I have to make it clear first." Mother Zhou opened her eyes and looked at Zhang Haiyao. "Generally, a girl¡¯s family will get married, and two or two dollars is enough. At the beginning, your family said three and two small fixed, and then you don¡¯t want anything. The girl in the town, marrying our family is wronged, I need more than I can accept before I bring the matchmaker to the door."


    "But I didn''t agree to the betrothal gift later, it was the third one who insisted on it, and he ran to borrow it. You have to give out this money anyway."


    Zhou Chengcai gave a dull voice. This was a promise. Zhang Haiyao immediately became angry, "What about Qinghe?"


    "The fourth child, he borrowed it himself. I don''t accept this account either." Zhou Mu hung her head, her voice was heavy, and her shoulders seemed to be a little more broken.


    Seeing her like this, Li Qinghe felt uncomfortable, "I pay the money. I hope that the third wife will also have her say."


    "What!" Zhang Haiyao was stunned.


    The author has something to say: see you tomorrow evening

 Chapter 41： Split

    The room was quiet for a while, and Zhang Haiyao''s face became a little more hideous, "It''s not five copper plates, it''s fifty taels of silver. Can you earn the fish that you have been raising for more than half a year?"


    Seeing Li Qinghe not speaking, he was furious, and looked at everyone in the room, "As the daughter of the Zhang family, my parents have been pampered since I was a child, what happened to the offer?"


    Just at this moment, the three of Zhou bosses came in from the outside with empty burdens, and instantly found that the atmosphere in the house was not right.


    Po Liu didn''t come in at all, she went back to the room directly. She didn''t have a special room, she lived with Wumei.


    Boss Zhou came in with his wife, "What''s wrong?"


    "Talk about the separation of the family." Mother Zhou opened her eyes, "Boss, go call the second child."


    "I have something to say." Zhang Haiyao frowned, "Second brother is a patriarch. It is okay to find him back to testify, but if you want to share with him, I won''t agree."


    Mother Zhou¡¯s face was cold, "It¡¯s not your turn to not agree. This family was earned by me, his father, and their brothers. The second child did something before, and this family has to have him. Everyone No comments are allowed."


    Li Qinghe doesn''t matter. There is no food in this family, so the land can be divided, and the last thing she lacks is the land. She can''t clean up the ten acres of wasteland.


    Brother Zhou turned around and went out, his sister-in-law Mei stood in the corner with her head down, without speaking at all.


    Seriously, the couple went to the town to sell tofu every day, and they didn''t rely on farming to support their family. However, it depends on people, and some people don¡¯t have too many people.


    Li Qingmiao''s home was close, but after a few breaths, Big Brother Zhou arrived with the two of them.


    When the people arrived, Mother Zhou coughed softly, "The family is poor. I am a mother, sorry to you."


    "Mother, what you said made the sons feel uncomfortable." Brother Zhou''s eyes were red. "You gave birth to us. The fault is us. Your son has no abilities and makes you embarrassed."


    Mother Zhou waved her hand, "If you have this heart, I will be satisfied." She looked at the sky and said, "There is no food in the family, so life can''t go on, the third wife said, if you can''t make it, you will just confuse yourself. In fact, it makes sense. If anyone really subsidizes it, it will hurt the friendship between your brothers over time."


    "The tree has big branches. Taking advantage of the good weather today, this house will be divided!"


    The room was quiet, and Zhou Lao Er was full of feelings, "Mother, my son is not filial."


    Mother Zhou waved her hand, "Don''t talk about this, I will marry your daughter-in-law into the door. From now on, it will be your own." She looked at Zhang Haiyao, "The third daughter-in-law, it''s still the same sentence. If you don¡¯t admit it, your aunt will come to get the silver tomorrow..."


    Zhang Haiyao don''t open her eyes, quietly pinched Zhou Lao San with her hand.


    Her movements naturally fell into the eyes of everyone, Zhou''s mother did not speak, but only looked at Zhou Lao San.


    Zhou Laosan got up and went out. Zhang Haiyao was surprised and hurriedly chased him out, "You dare to move my money!"


    There was a sound of ping-pong-pong from outside. Soon, Zhou Laosan came in with five taels of silver and put it on the table. Zhang Haiyao cried with anger, and yelled after chasing in the door, "If you dare to collect this silver, I will return. Go home."


    Li Qinghe also went out, went back to the room and took five taels of silver and placed it next to the silver.


    Mother Zhou glanced at her gratefully, and said, "There is twelve taels owed over there, and two taels of silver, which I borrowed from building a house."


    Zhang Haiyao''s eyes stared, "If you don''t know the house, you still have to check the money?"


    "Naturally not," Zhou Mu lowered her eyes and glanced at Zhou Lao San.


    Except for Li Qinghe, everyone in this room knows how these two taels of silver are owed, and those who don''t know have heard of it. It was the two taels of silver that Zhou''s mother had prepared for the house, and Zhou Lao San also took it to the Zhang family to make a decision. He kept saying that only two taels of silver would be needed afterwards.


    "These two and two are considered my own debts." Zhou Mu looked cautious, "I am still young, and I can still pay these debts after a few years of hard work. As for the food owed at home now, a total of four hundred catties..."


    "How come there are so many?" Zhang Haiyao exclaimed.


    Not only her, but Mei also raised his eyes in surprise. Li Qinghe didn''t feel surprised. Since the autumn harvest last year, the Zhou family has held four ceremonies, but they all want food.


    "That''s all." Zhou Mu said calmly, "I didn''t waste it anyway, and didn''t eat much."


    "Mother, don''t say that," Zhou Lao said loudly, "It''s because the sons are not capable. Whoever wants the land for the food will have to pay a point. Fourth, what do you think?" Don''t ask the second. , Because he might not want the land at home, and he didn''t ask the third child, just his daughter-in-law, she was simply too sophisticated.


    Zhou Chengkang nodded in agreement.


    At this point, Zhou''s mother let out a sigh of relief. Even if the account is flat, this family will be divided. "There are four acres of land in my family, two acres of paddy fields, all of it is so much, divided into five parts, each of you, one part for each of you, one for each of you, and one for my fifth sister. In the future, the fifth sister will get married. I will give her the dowry by myself. When she leaves, that is My pension."


    "Why does the second brother have?" Zhang Haiyao said.


    Zhou Lao San gave her a hand, "Don''t talk too much. Whatever mother says is nothing."


    "These lands are saved by your father and me with their brothers over the years, and the second child will naturally have a share." Zhou''s mother tongue is serious, "I said, who is allocated to this family, how much is it, it is not a turn say something."


    Li Qingmiao forbeared and said, "We don''t want it. Our family has enough land. In the future, Chengwu will not be at home. This share is our filial piety, and it should be our pension."


    Zhou Lao Er had no objections, and obviously agreed.


    Zhou¡¯s mother didn¡¯t insist on arguing, she just nodded, ¡°The house is for one person, and everyone uses the kitchen. If you find it inconvenient, you can build it yourself. Boss, you go to the village chief and write a deed. Home... That''s it."


    Boss Zhou turned around, and Zhang Haiyao suddenly said, "Wait, is there still nothing left?"


    Everyone looked at her. This division is mainly about dividing the debt. After the debt is divided, the land and the house are left, and the land is divided equally. There is one house for one person. What else is there?


    "Why didn¡¯t the fourth child¡¯s carriage come out for points?" Zhang Haiyao looked at Li Qinghe, saying that after today, she would be the most annoying person in this family. There was no one. If it weren¡¯t for her to pay for the money, the third child would not. As for being forced to return the silver. "A carriage is worth seven or eight taels of silver. He doesn''t want to take the carriage out. He has to even share the silver, right?"


    "The carriage belongs to the fourth child himself." Zhou Laosan frowned. He was mostly silent today, and only then began to speak.


    "Joke, with such a big family, he can save a carriage on his own. How come I don''t believe me so much." Zhang Haiyao had some scruples towards Zhou''s mother, but he was not polite towards Zhou Lao San.


    "The carriage was given by someone else." Zhou Chengkang explained, "I met a hunter in the mountains by chance. He taught me to hunt, and the carriage was given to me. Of our brothers, only I can hunt because I and People have learned it."


    Zhang Haiyao still wants to speak, and Zhou boss interrupted impatiently, "Don''t talk nonsense if you don''t know, the third child, take care of your wife. The fourth child''s carriage should not be moved by anyone. If anyone moves, he will no longer be my Zhou family! "


    He was so serious that Zhang Haiyao, who was still a little unconvinced at first, did not dare to speak immediately. She only pinched Zhou Lao San again, the person who used to pretend to grin after being pinched by her. What to think.


    Mother Zhou also hung her head, her hands on the table were tightly pinched, and her fingertips were white.


    Several newly-entered wives glanced at each other. Why is this situation so wrong? It was Li Qinghe, who didn¡¯t know how Zhou Chengkang¡¯s carriage came. Anyway, since he remembered that he had a carriage, he was in the rack and he was cutting the grass and feeding the horses by himself. I didn¡¯t see the others who did it. All feel weird.


    The atmosphere was solemn, and the village chief came over, asked a few people how to separate their families, and began to write the deed.


    Seeing that the atmosphere in the house was not right, the village head didn¡¯t think much about it. The separation of family is related to his own personal interests. If you have discussed it with yourself, it is the best to invite him to directly write the deed. There is also the kind that you can¡¯t talk to him. Together with the elders in the village, they helped to judge and divide the family. They blushed and almost fought.


    Therefore, it''s just that the complexion is not good, it is nothing at all.


    "Divided into five parts, one for each of the brothers, then I will write a copy for each of you and collect it by yourself, which is regarded as a voucher." The village chief said, while holding a pen, Li Qingmiao said again, "Three grandfather, ours Don''t take it, let it be my mother, it''s our honor to her."


    The village chief was surprised, but nodded, Zhang Haiyao at the side immediately said, "It would be fine if it is divided into four parts, exactly four mu of land..."


    "Only you are smart!" Li Qingmiao''s complexion was not so good, and she interrupted her politely, "Even if I am a country girl, I know the difference! Third master, don''t listen to her, just divide it into five, mother gets two. Copies."


    Looking at Zhang Haiyao again, he sneered, "Three younger brothers and sisters, we honor our mother, that is our filial piety, she raises us, these are what she deserves, you are embarrassed to share a little? Don''t be afraid to choke after eating!"


    Zhang Haiyao was dissatisfied, "What is an internship? What kind of family will you come back to divide after entering into a family?


    No one took this, she was so annoyed that she pinched Zhou Lao San again.


    The village chief ignored this, wrote six deeds, read it at the end, and asked, "Anything else to add?"


    "It''s the carriage," said Mei, "that carriage is worth some money. Mother said that the carriage belongs to the fourth brother, so please write this."


    The village chief frowned, Zhou Boss glanced at Mei and hurriedly said, "The carriage belongs to the fourth brother, we don''t want it."


    In fact, Li Qinghe had discovered that something was wrong earlier. The brothers in this family, after marrying their daughter-in-law, had empty homes, but they all shared the carriage of Zhou Chengkang, which felt strange.


    But this is not the time to ask. Waiting for the village chief to write the deed, everyone puts away one copy, and Zhou Lao San said, "Mother gets two shares of land, and this is the grain, and is it also two copies?"


    Mei''s also looked at Boss Zhou nervously. Even if the carriage is not divided, the debt really can''t be more.


    "I''ll still have two copies." Zhou Mu put away the deed. "Please discuss it yourself. Don''t squeeze them together when you cook. There is also time to boil water and wash at night. Try not to put them together. I think it¡¯s inconvenient to build a kitchen by myself. Besides, starting from tomorrow, the firewood in the kitchen will go up the mountain to chop..." Xuxu gave a lot of instructions. They are all trivial things in life. It can be seen that Mother Zhou has been thinking about it for a long time in secret. It has to be so comprehensive.


    The author has something to say: Youran is a synchronous serialization. You have to write 9,000 words next door every day. This book is written late, and it is difficult for everyone to wait from time to time. Youran still has a fixed time, and it will be updated at 11 pm every day. Even more, thank you all for your support, good night everyone

 Chapter 42： daily

    Mother Zhou was holding the deed, nagging, as if endlessly, Zhang Haiyao got up and said, "It''s not early, I''ll go to boil the water and wash the laundry first."


    As he said, people had already got up and went out, Zhou Mu''s expression was ugly for a moment, she glanced at Zhou Lao San, did not say him, but looked at Li Qinghe, "Qinghe, you just made so many things when you entered the door, yes I can''t help you, don''t think too much about it. From now on, I just lived with the fourth child."


    It was really too much to quarrel with the family as soon as they got married. People who didn¡¯t know thought it was Li Qinghe¡¯s trouble.


    But Zhou¡¯s mother said so, Li Qinghe can¡¯t make trouble. After all, it¡¯s still the most important thing to live a good life. Besides, it¡¯s good to be separated. She herself is planning to rebuild the house and live with so many people. In this yard, disputes will inevitably arise. Nothing else, let her cook the family''s meal, it is actually quite difficult, she can''t finish her work.


    "It''s okay," Li Qinghe even smiled, "As long as my mother is happy."


    Zhou Muxu babbled and asked for a long while. When everyone was gone, it was already afternoon. Li Qinghe and Zhou Chengkang had not done anything for a long time, so they separated, and it was time to go to the field to feed the fish.


    When I came back from the feeding, the sky was already dim and it was about to get dark. Zhou Chengkang looked at the small courtyard of Zhou''s house not far away, and said in a low voice, "In fact, it is better to have someone live here and watch the fish and chickens."


    "Then you live." Li Qinghe smiled. "The shack is not set up. Can''t you let me live?"


    Zhou Chengkang was dissatisfied, and said angrily, "I just got married yesterday, so you were willing to let me stay alone? You sleep by yourself. Don''t you feel warmer by one more person in this kind of weather?"


    Li Qinghe couldn''t help laughing and lowered his voice, "I''m really not afraid of this. I have been here for more than ten years, and I am afraid that I will sleep alone? Besides, it is April now, and the more it goes, the warmer it gets. It¡¯s too hot in summer."


    "I''m afraid." He stretched out his hand and took her hand and coaxed, "I''m afraid, let''s go."


    The two walked unhurriedly, Zhou Chengkang paused and said in a low voice, "I want to say, let''s build the house here." He analyzed one by one, "Look, we have one person and one room now. The room, there is nothing left. We have children in the future, where do we live?"


    It is still important to build a house, Li Qinghe laughed, "Child?"


    Zhou Chengkang put his hand on her lower abdomen and said with a low smile, "Maybe it already has it now."


    Li Qinghe''s face flushed suddenly, and asked, "Like children?"


    He was serious, "I like the baby you gave birth."


    The two of them didn''t speak any more, but the hands they held together became tighter, and the figures walking together were entangled and cuddled together, especially peaceful and peaceful.


    When the two returned home, the eldest couple and Mrs. Liu were already asleep. Li Qingmiao and Li Qingmiao had already gone home. Only the third child¡¯s house was still lit by candles. The two went into the kitchen and planned to boil water for washing. The window poked out, "You boil water, remember to chop wood back tomorrow. If you want to boil water for cooking, a load of firewood every day."


    A load of firewood for two people cannot be used up under normal circumstances.


    "The excess should be honored me." Zhou Mu added.


    The two looked at each other, and Zhou Chengkang responded.


    Rather than saying this to the two people, it is better to say it to the people in the yard. After the two of them got married, they left before dawn every day, and they had to make up for their sleep when they came back in the afternoon. Let alone the youngest two. Zhang Haiyao didn''t leave the door, so Zhou Laosan worked alone. Where can I go to chop wood? The Zhou family had just finished another happy event, and the firewood was almost bottoming out.


    After Zhou Mu''s words came out, no matter whether he was free or not, if he wanted to use the kitchen, he had to pay firewood.


    Zhou Chengkang carried water and whispered, "Tomorrow we will go up the mountain. Recently, it was a good time to hunt. We made some money to build a house and brought firewood back by the way."


    The next morning, the two of them got up before dawn. The eldest husband and wife and Lady Liu in the kitchen were still ordering tofu. Li Qinghe wanted to go in and make something and had no choice but to take some snacks from the marriage.


    First went to the pond to feed the fish, and then went up the mountain.


    Zhou Chengkang was right. It was a good time to hunt. Before they could get into the woods, they caught three pheasants and two rabbits. Li Qinghe saw him draw the bow and couldn''t help asking, "What''s the matter with your carriage at home? Why do they all say no."


    Zhou Chengkang silently shot an arrow and just hit the pheasant''s belly. He ran to pick it up. When the two of them walked into the woods again, he whispered, "When I was four years old, my eldest and third brothers took me in. The mountain was chopped wood and mushrooms by the way. At that time, my mother was pregnant with my fifth sister and was about to give birth. My father just got sick, his eldest brother was only nine years old, and his third brother was only six years old. Water, let the third brother take me to stay there and wait."


    He paused, his voice lowered, "It didn''t take long for the third brother to say that he was urinating, and then he left. I stayed in the woods and dared not move. I waited for a long time and didn''t wait for them to come back.


    "They lost you?" Li Qinghe frowned. A four-year-old child is in such a forest. There are wolves in the depths of the forest. If they are taken away by the wolf, where is his life?


    "I don''t know." Zhou Chengkang shook his head. "The eldest brother said he was lost, and the third brother said that he was lost and couldn''t find me. But when they found the trail home, they went back first, saying that they were going back and then invited an adult to find him. "


    "and after?"


    "Later I met Uncle Tiger. He took me back and sent me home after two days. My mother cried so much. I heard that I was lost. The fifth sister was born before the day was reached." Zhou Chengkang''s tone was ordinary, his eyes looked at the forest, as if searching for prey.


    Li Qinghe stretched out his hand to hold him, "Are you afraid of you alone?"


    Zhou Chengkang was in a daze, "At that time I was scared. I felt that the trees were high, the woods were deep, and things were moving everywhere... But then I was not afraid when I met Uncle Tiger. Even when I went home, I would often go into the mountains. Looking for him, he taught me a lot." Later, his lips had a smile on his lips, "I was hunting, and he taught me the carriage, he bought me money before he died."


    "He has no children, he is alone. I still saw him not. I buried him myself." Zhou Chengkang said in a low voice, said with a smile, "So, people always have to go through some hardships. Gained."


    Until now, whether the eldest brother and the eldest third had deliberately left their young brother in the woods is still confused. Therefore, none of them wanted the carriage.


    "When you are free, take me to worship. I want to thank him!" she said.


    Zhou Chengkang''s eyes were gentle, "Okay. I want him to see you too."


    When they returned home in the afternoon, the two had a good harvest. Li Qinghe was carrying a few chickens and rabbits, and Zhou Chengkang was carrying a bundle of firewood. When passing by the pond, the two ran to feed the fish and chickens. They went home under the moonlight. .


    When they got home, the eldest husband and wife and Liu Pozi were already asleep. There was a pot of water in the kitchen. When she heard the movement, the fifth sister opened the door and said with a smile, "Fourth brother, I use the water by the way. Use it."


    Finally, he said, "Go to bed earlier."


    The two took turns to wash, and the rest were cooking here. After half an hour, the two had already brought the food to their house.


    "Tired?" Zhou Chengkang handed her the steamed buns, "I will go by myself tomorrow. You will stay at home and feed the fish and help me cook by the way. You can also go to town and sell rabbits and pheasants. In the restaurant, it should be Do you want it?"


    The restaurant did accept wild animals, and two rabbits were killed today. They can''t be released more, and the day is getting hotter and hotter. So nodded, "Then you go by yourself and come back early."


    The next morning, the two got up at the same hour as yesterday. Zhou Chengkang took the dry food prepared last night and went up the mountain, while Li Qinghe took the prey and went to town with the Zhou family eldest brother.


    Seeing the four or five pheasants in her hand, Mei was a little envious, and said, "Four younger brothers and sisters, fourth younger brothers are so good at craftsmanship. You don''t need to buy meat and don''t worry about meat."


    Li Qinghe glanced at the silent Boss Zhou over there and said with a smile, "He was lucky and met a good master to teach him."


    The Zhou family boss didn¡¯t hear it. Mei didn¡¯t know what was going on, and he nodded in agreement, ¡°Four younger siblings, how much money do you plan to sell? If it¡¯s cheaper, I¡¯ll buy a stew for my mother-in-law to drink.¡±


    Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "Pork sells for fifteen pens. This twenty-five pens is ready. This one is worth three catties. For the relationship between us, you can give seventy pens."


    Hearing that, Mei''s complexion became stiff. With this silver, he can get a large piece of meat, and he can eat it for half a month without a little bit. Over there, Lady Liu said, "What does pheasant eat, they say that tofu is vegetarian, and eating this is the same to help you."


    This is no more.


    Li Qinghe didn''t ask for it. After the separation, the boss and his wife gave each family a piece of tofu. It was not worth a few dollars.


    After arriving in the town, she separated and she went straight to the restaurant. The price offered by the restaurant was fair. The rabbit and the pheasant cost 30 jin per catty, which is nearly 30 catties. The chef directly counted 30 catties and took it. Nine hundred texts.


    With the money in hand, Li Qinghe bought a piece of meat, but didn''t go to see the husband and wife of Mr. Zhou. They still sold tofu, and it was an afternoon to go home.


    When she arrived home when she was cooking breakfast, Zhang Haiyao poked her head out of the kitchen, "Brother sister, I heard that you beat a lot of rabbits and pheasants yesterday. The third aunt next door saw them all, why didn''t they?"


    "I''ll sell it." Li Qinghe looked calm.


    "Why don''t you leave a little bit of filial piety?" She raised her voice when she said this, deliberately speaking to Zhou''s mother who was growing vegetables in the backyard.


    Li Qinghe didn''t care, raised his hand, "Mother''s share is naturally there, I bought meat, it''s like a fishy meat."


    Upon seeing this, Zhang Haiyao was dumb and couldn''t help but whispered, "Fake and generous!"


    Why are you fake and generous? This meat is not fake.


    Li Qinghe had heard it, so it was not rare to quarrel with her. She went into the kitchen to cook. Soon after Zhou''s mother came in, she passed a small piece of meat over.


    Mother Zhou waved her hand, "You eat yourself, I have something to say."


    Zhang Haiyao was setting the tableware and chopsticks. After hearing Zhou''s mother outside, she frowned and whispered, "Something else!"


    "She is my mother." Zhou Lao San emphasized.


    When everyone in the family arrived, Zhou Mu took them to the backyard, only to find that the vegetable plot in the backyard had been divided into four parts. "You have one part each. You can''t eat the vegetables in the future. Grow them and eat them yourself. If you are lazy and don''t want to plant, then don''t eat it!" She said the last sentence, staring at Zhang Haiyao.

 Chapter 43： dispute

    Hearing this, Zhang Haiyao snorted and pulled Zhou Lao San back to eat. Li Qinghe also went back to the kitchen to cook, and the piece of meat was given to Zhou Mu.


    She was alone, just made some food, carried a **** and went to the backyard, digging on a well-divided piece of ground on the side, and then asked Zhou''s mother to get vegetable seeds to plant.


    When she finished planting, it was afternoon, she went to the pond to feed the fish again, and then looked at the chicks, it was too late when she returned home. Going to cook again, fried the meat specially, and brought it back to the house.


    During an episode, when she returned to the room with the meat, she happened to meet Zhang Haiyao who came out of the table and chopsticks. She glanced at the plate and said with a smile, "I heard that my younger brother and sister have been helping in the restaurant for two years. Will this craft be better than ours? Are these ordinary girls better? Why should I try?"


    Li Qinghe gave her a plate, "In fact, it''s not as good as you." Avoiding her body directly went back to the room.


    In this family, Zhang Haiyao is the person she hates most, not one of them.


    The good thing is that she is always at the forefront.


    It makes sense to honor Zhou''s mother and feed it to Zhang Haiyao. After giving it to Zhang Haiyao, she will definitely be angry and have been suffocated for a long time. She was so stupid that she found her own guilt.


    The sky darkened outside, and when she couldn''t help but want to go to the foot of Xishan Mountain, Zhou Chengkang came back with a load of firewood.


    Li Qinghe fetched water for him and was picked up by him, "I will do it myself."


    In the evening, the two sat face to face and talked about what happened during the day. Zhou Chengkang was very happy when he heard the money sold. "If this continues, we should be able to build a house soon, and we can eat whatever we want. "


    I have to say that if the family lives together, they only use the kitchen and the water room and take turns, which is really inconvenient.


    The two said that he would go up the mountain as usual the next day. After Li Qinghe went to the town to send the pheasant to the restaurant, he took a break by candlelight and fell asleep. The next morning, when they were about to get up, they heard a quarrel outside.


    Mei''s voice is not loud, but full of anger, "We need to use the kitchen every morning, everyone with long eyes knows it? You can''t get up early, or do it last night like the four younger siblings?"


    "Let you be polite to you." Zhang Haiyao did not show any weakness, "Everyone in this kitchen, why can''t I use it? It was OK to make it last night, but it was cold in the morning when we made it last night. It won¡¯t be cold, does my sister-in-law want us to get sick?"


    The two refused to give up, Zhou''s mother became impatient, and went out, "What was the noise in the early morning? I said, I think it''s inconvenient to make my own kitchen."


    Zhang Haiyao snorted and turned into the kitchen, so angry that Mei pinched Boss Zhou several times.


    When Mei went to town that day, Shengsheng was delayed by half an hour, and the tofu was not as much as before. Li Qinghe didn''t go to town with them. When the three of them came back in the afternoon, the tofu hadn''t been sold out, and all of them were not looking good. After Boss Zhou came in, he took a sip of water and went out again with a burden. It is intended to be sold to various households in the village.


    In the evening, after Zhou''s mother came back, Mrs. Liu went in with her daughter-in-law. Boss Zhou looked ugly and knocked on the door to make Li Qinghe go to the main room.


    When everyone arrived, Old Lady Liu coughed and said, "Sister Zhou, living in your house these days, it is really troublesome for you, but it was said beforehand."


    Mother Zhou looked at the plates on the table and seemed to be listening carefully, and Old Lady Liu looked at everyone, "If you want me to say, this is the kitchen time, we should discuss it. Before the hour of the day, the three of us are busy making tofu, you Can''t come to delay. Sister, to be honest, we have done a good job, and the boss has a better life, and it will save you worry?"


    "The kitchen is not yours."


    When she said this, Zhang Haiyao knew it was because of her business in the morning. If she didn¡¯t speak anymore, the kitchen would really become theirs in the morning. If she wanted to use it, she wouldn¡¯t have her own. Of course, she didn¡¯t agree, and she said nothing. Feeling that it¡¯s not enough, he continued, ¡°Now in the slack farming, I don¡¯t have to work. You can use it whatever you want. Today, it¡¯s not that our family has to go up the mountain to cut firewood. When we are busy, we will definitely not get up to work. At this hour, the sun is basking. When we finish our meal, well, how can we do it when the sun is at its highest? You can''t go straight to the field without eating, so it can work? Your request is totally unreasonable. ,Am I right?"


    Everyone in her mouth is mainly Li Qinghe.


    Wumei has been cooking for the past few days since they were separated, and they have been waiting for them to go there. The dinner is very late, and Zhou''s mother has not spoken. Believe that now the time for making tofu in the morning is set, she would not have any opinions.


    Li Qinghe didn''t speak, it was indeed a bit inconvenient, but it was okay to get used to it. Recently, the weather was good. She always did more the night before, so she didn''t go to join in the fun in the morning. With so many people, it is impossible not to accommodate at all.


    Without talking here, Zhang Haiyao glanced at her disdainfully, as if she thought she was too timid, and said, "Actually, it is not impossible for you to let me go to the kitchen in the morning. You just need to compensate for my loss. How many benefits, how many tofu you make every day, save me a piece, I will definitely cook after the hour!"


    She glanced at the crowd intentionally, "As for others, discuss it yourself!"


    Obviously it is blackmail, but somehow it makes sense.


    Mei''s tofu makes them, and they are willing to move because of the affection of the family. Now they are not willing to be modest, and it makes sense to get some benefits.


    But these words really pierced the lung tube of Old Lady Liu. She stood up so angry that she did not argue with Zhang Haiyao. She only looked at Zhou Mu, "Sister, is this unreasonable? What happened to us at the beginning of this marriage? That said, the boss is going to take me over to provide me with a pension. Now your family is like this... Is it going to **** me off early?"


    "I don''t dare to stay at this house." Liu Po ??was so angry, "I''m afraid I will be mad to death early. Since you don''t speak, I will take them back to Liujia Village. I have a house there and a large kitchen specializing in tofu. It¡¯s almost a quarter of an hour from the town over there. Do you think it¡¯s easy to pick an extra quarter of an hour every day? This one, I don¡¯t want to wait!"


    "No." Mother Zhou finally said, looking at the angry Lady Liu, "Sister-in-law, now that this marriage is over, Mei Hua is already my Zhou family''s daughter-in-law, so I have to abide by my rules. If you want to go home, I won''t stop you. , But she and the boss are not allowed to leave. As for the use of the kitchen, I still said that. You should discuss it yourself. If the negotiation is not good, make your own."


    She paused and looked at the dark yard, "Tomorrow I will measure the yard and divide the land of each house evenly. It is also convenient for you to build a kitchen."


    Lady Liu looked surprised. Mei''s head lowered, tears fell.


    Zhang Haiyao folded her arms and smiled triumphantly, "I said, give me a piece of tofu, so that it is convenient for others to make it easier for others. If you leave a piece of tofu in each house early, I won''t be so naive."


    Mei cried more fiercely, Zhou Mu looked at her and said with a serious face, "Mei Hua, don''t feel wronged, I didn''t aim at you. Here, everyone is the same."


    Mei wiped a tear, "They say that the eldest son takes care of the elderly, mother, I don''t want you to be partial, but you... can you be a little fairer?"


    Li Qinghe raised her eyebrows. Mei said that she wanted to be fair. In fact, she was fair now. She meant Zhou''s mother had to rely on them to provide for the old. The fairness she wanted was that Zhou''s mother should favor them.


    "The third siblings¡¯ family is in the town. I¡¯ve heard all these days. Not only did the Zhang family not ask us to give the past Xiaoding and the betrothal gifts, they also married her a lot. There are also four siblings. Pond, although it''s harder, life will definitely be easier, and we are left..."


    She tears down, "That means we go out early and return late every day to earn some hard money. You still have to persecute me like this. What is your heart? If this family can''t tolerate me, it''s like my mother said, we go back to Liujia Village. ."


    When it comes to returning to Liu¡¯s Village again, Zhou¡¯s mother¡¯s complexion is difficult to look like, "That said, since you are married to Zhou¡¯s family, I don¡¯t care about your mother-in-law. ."


    Mei''s complexion turned pale in an instant.


    She looked at Boss Zhou, raised her hand to interrupt what he was about to say, and said solemnly, "If you want to say that going to Liujiacun is temporary, then don''t come back when you go. I''m not the only son, they will never look I won¡¯t collect my corpse when I die. I¡¯ll earn a bite to eat while I¡¯m alive. If I don¡¯t earn it, I¡¯ll die by myself. After death, some people collect corpses.


    What Boss Zhou wanted to persuade suddenly choked in his throat, and his eyes became redder and red, "Mother, don''t worry, my son will never leave Zhou''s house forever."


    Mei''s pale complexion turned pale, do not open his eyes, tears fell.


    After this dispute, the two bosses stopped making tofu the next morning and began to hire an artificial kitchen.


    Zhou Chengkang still went to help. If there is money in building a kitchen, it is still very fast. In two days, the kitchen and the stove were built.


    After finishing the kitchen, Mei also specially invited two people over for dinner. Zhou Mu did not invite them, and every dish was taken to the main room.


    Four or five people were invited. When they finished eating, it was a mess. Li Qinghe helped clean up. Mei looked at the yard while washing the dishes and said in a low voice, "Four brothers and sisters, don¡¯t you think Hai Yao is too much? Let, as expected, I¡¯m doing business at home, so I¡¯m so good at calculating. I¡¯ve been sour in the past two days that I can¡¯t bear a piece of tofu every day..."


    "Let me say that as long as she is here, there will be no peace in this house. I really heard from the servants of the Zhang family. She really has seven or eight taels of silver and is enough to build a house. How about... we find a way to let her out Find a foundation to build a house?"


    For the final proposal, she lowered her voice.


    Li Qinghe was washing the dishes, seeing her excited, and asked, "What can I do?"


    "I haven''t thought of it yet, but I know you will move away sooner or later, you can stay away from her, but if she stays at home like that, you can rest assured? Where you can''t see, you don''t know how your mother was bullied by her. "


    This makes sense, and it has to be discussed in the long term.


    Li Qinghe didn''t refute her claim that she was going out to build a house. She herself planned to ask someone to build the house when the weather was the best in June, let it dry for a few months, and move in in winter.


    In fact, the pond and the chickens over there need to be taken care of carefully, and after moving over, she still wants to buy more chickens, and there is such a large wasteland, so she has to do something else.


    The author has something to say: see you tomorrow evening

 Chapter 44： Return

    The next morning, Li Qinghe went to town with them again. When he walked to the door of Li''s house, he found Li Fu standing on the road with his back hands behind his back. He didn''t know how long he had been standing and seemed to be waiting for someone.


    Seeing her coming, Li Fu took two steps forward, "Qinghe."


    Li Qinghe was a little surprised, and motioned to Mei Clan to leave first, and then stepped forward, "Father, what''s the matter?"


    "Why didn''t you return?" Li Fu looked serious.


    Li Qinghe was stunned. The girls in this village didn''t have to return home if they got married. Besides, they were asked to pick them up. She seemed to get up too early that morning and then left. Mother Zhou and the others said that someone would pick it up here.


    "It''s such a busy day, I''m very busy over there, so close to the door, don''t you need it?" Seeing Li Fu''s face cautiously, she thought for a while, "it will be the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days, and I will definitely be back then." In fact, Dragon Boat Festival still has more than half a month.


    Li Fu''s complexion eased a little, and he asked, "I heard that you are separated. Do you have food to eat at home? There are still some in the backyard. If there is not, I will go home."


    This was completely kind, and Li Qinghe nodded in response, "Thank you, father."


    Li Fu looked complicated, "I''m your father, thank you. If you build a kitchen and a house, come back and tell me, then I will help you."


    What''s going on here?


    Li Qinghe was quite surprised. Her father used to be very indifferent to her. She used to be a helper in the town. Sometimes she couldn''t touch it for several days, and she didn''t see him like that.


    He turned his gaze to the prey in her hands, quite pleased, "Go now, these things will affect the price if they are left for a long time, if you have time, come back and see more."


    Until he walked far away, Li Qinghe looked back and could still see him standing in place. She was actually not afraid that others would treat her badly, and everyone would be cold and indifferent. When paired with her, she will not be able to control her softheartedness.


    Seeing Mei waiting at the entrance of the village in a blink of an eye, Li Qinghe quickly walked over with happy thoughts.


    The two of them seemed to get closer after last night, but it seemed nothing more.


    "That was your father just now? What did you say to you?" Mei curious.


    Li Qinghe shook his head, "I didn''t say anything, and asked me when I would go home. Maybe something came to me."


    Mei nodded and asked, "Your sister, are they coming back? It seems that the list will be released these days."


    "I don''t know." Li Qinghe didn''t care much.


    Hearing that, Mei''s was a little strange, looked at her, and couldn''t help but said, "I found that you really don''t care. If your brother-in-law succeeds in one fell swoop, then you will be Xiucai Gong''s sister." She moved closer. Did they ask you to borrow money?"


    "Where can I lend money to others?" Li Qinghe waved his hand, "Hurry up, it will be late in town in a moment."


    "Hey, you, I am really good for you. If your younger sister has any problems, you can help if you can. Otherwise, when she becomes a talented lady, you just want to help, then it won''t be your turn. "Mei''s face is mysterious, "They say that it is easy to add icing on the cake, and it is difficult to send carbon in the snow, and to help people remember the love when they need it."


    Everyone knows the truth, Li Qinghe''s heart is a bit complicated. But she just didn''t want this, besides, she didn''t want to benefit from Hu Yanxi.


    She ignored it, and Mei said that it didn''t mean anything. Gradually, she became quiet. It''s not far to go to town, and it doesn''t feel too far to get used to it.


    When they arrived in the town, Li Qinghe separated from them as usual. He first went to the restaurant to sell prey, and bought some steamed buns. The lady saw her and gave her a special gift. Although the cakes over there were not as good as they sold at the beginning, It''s not worse than steamed stuffed buns, I have earned a lot during this time.


    I bought the steamed buns. The food in the family was still a few kilograms when the family was separated. In fact, they have eaten almost the same in the past few days. Zhou Chengkang has no time. She went to the grain shop and bought coarse noodles. After thinking about it, I bought some fine noodles.


    It was actually quite heavy. When she went back, she was a little sore in her hand. In fact, when she bought it, she had deliberately calculated her strength.


    After most of the walk, Li Qinghe put down the grain bag and planned to take it later. It was not that he could not hold it. The main reason was that his hands were sore. At this moment, a bullock cart stopped beside her, and the one sitting in front of her was unexpectedly It''s Xu Changjie.


    He smiled, "Qinghe, I''ll take you up here."


    He was not the only one in the car, but Yang Lanrou sat behind him, with a shy expression and guarding eyes.


    Li Qinghe was a little at a loss. She hadn''t heard of Xu Changjie''s questioning for several days, so she didn''t avoid it?


    Back then, she and Zhou Chengkang were not shy about it, but at that time, although they didn''t say it clearly, they both rushed to get married. These two... In fact, there is no other person in between, which is good.


    "No, it''s here just by looking at it." Li Qinghe rebuffed, she must have taken a ride instead of another person. Yang Lanrou didn''t look there and heard her refusal, her eyes relaxed instantly.


    Seeing the bullock cart heading into the village, Li Qinghe shook his fingers. It seemed that the Yang family had something to do recently. After that, the yard next to the Xu family was going to be sold, so they moved to live next to the Xu family. Become a neighbor.


    When she arrived at the door of Li''s house carrying the grain, Li Fu happened to come out of the backyard with a hoe. Seeing the heavy bag in her hand, he frowned, "Why are you doing this kind of work?"


    "I''ll bring it back by the way." Li Qinghe replied casually.


    Li Fu had already opened the courtyard door and walked out, and couldn''t help but accept it, "I''ll take you back, and see what Zhou''s family is like by the way."


    Actually, the normal situation should be seen before getting married, but it''s not Li Fu, it must be Li Qinghe''s mother, but her mother can''t come back in the town, it should be the Qian family, such as the town Hu''s family, before Zhao Wanwan got married, she went three times.


    However, Li Fu has never been to Zhou''s house so far.


    The father and daughter were quite silent, seeing as they reached the door of Zhou''s house, Li Fu whispered, "How about Zhou''s family? Has anyone bullied you?"


    "Very good." Li Qinghe replied with a smile, "No one bullies me, even if there is, Chengkang will help me."


    Li Qinghe opened the yard door, took him in, and took him directly to the outside of his house. Li Fu looked at it, "The new house is pretty good, but the place is a bit smaller. I heard that your house is quarreling because of the kitchen, you Do you want to build one?"


    "Not for the time being." Li Qinghe really doesn''t want to build a kitchen here, so I might as well save money to build one over the pond.


    When the words fell, I felt that I was too cold, and explained, "I want to save money and move to the pond, and by the way, take pictures of the fish pond and the chickens."


    Li Fu nodded approvingly. After looking around, I thought this house was a bit small, but a new house was going to be built over there, and when I look at it, I think it¡¯s pretty good. "Okay, go home and find me if you have something. I''m back. I have to grow vegetables in the backyard."


    "Father, do you want to come back after dinner?" Li Qinghe hurriedly stopped him.


    "Someday." Li Fu waved his hand and left quickly.


    In the next few days, Zhou Chengkang came back with firewood and rabbits every day. Li Qinghe sent to the town every day as usual, came back to feed the fish, and then cooked. In the afternoon, he would do something in the backyard or the pond. The days were busy but very fulfilling. That day, Mei came back from the town in the afternoon. Li Qinghe was cooking dinner. She ran to the kitchen, "Qinghe, cooking?"


    In fact, since Mei''s new kitchen was completed, she never seemed to be here. Li Qinghe looked up and saw that it was her, and she was rather strange, "What''s the matter?"


    Mei clan was mysterious, "Those scholars who went to the county town to take the county exam this time, there is news."


    "Oh?" Li Qinghe was curious, "how?"


    Seeing her curiously, Mei smiled, "I thought you didn''t care. Guess if there were any of them this time? How many were shot?"


    Li Qinghe waved his hand, "I can''t guess."


    Mei wanted to sell Guanzi, but she didn''t catch up on her side, so she had to stretch out three fingers, "I have hit three children, as for the scholars, none of them."


    "I thought there was someone in it. At that time, everyone in the town was talking about who the Hu family was, and they were praising something." It was Zhang Haiyao who said this. She leaned on the kitchen door frame with her arms folded and laughed. Hehe said, "Brother sister, Hu''s family seems to be your sister''s home, and your brother-in-law is not in the middle. Are you happy or unhappy?"


    Li Qinghe glanced at her, "What do you mean by this?"


    Zhang Haiyao stretched out his hands, "Everyone knows in their hearts that you and your sister are just face-saving. You must be unhappy on the face, but secretly...hehe..."


    "You blocked me, I can''t see it." Li Qinghe continued to knead the dough without raising his head.


    Zhang Haiyao saw the fine noodles in her basin and couldn''t help but said, "Brother sister, you have made a lot of fine noodles every day, right?"


    Especially annoying!


    Li Qinghe raised his eyes, "Can you control it?" After thinking of something, he asked, "Sansao, why haven''t you been back to your family a few times? Zhang''s family is rich, let alone fine noodles, just rice. eat."


    Hearing her exaggerating family, Zhang Haiyao was a little proud, "That is. I''ll be back in two days."


    Li Qinghe was really serious and agreed, "Go back to eat white rice, you should definitely go back!"


    Why didn¡¯t these words sound right, especially the tone, which was very weird, as if she went back to her family¡¯s home to hit the autumn breeze, and she wanted a theory, but when she saw that Li Qinghe had already taken out a piece of meat and started to chop, she couldn¡¯t help asking, "My younger sister, this is steamed buns. ?"


    "Hmm." Li Qinghe replied casually.


    Zhang Haiyao tentatively asked, "Can you sell me two?"


    What are you talking about selling, is it true that just two buns can really collect her money? If you don''t accept it, should you send it to Mei''s side?


    It''s not that I can''t bear this bun, it''s mainly because it''s a rare package. Li Qinghe was already busy and took the time, but it wasn''t to give it to them. She shook his head and said, "I have to give a few to my mother, there is not much."


    Secretly decided in my heart that the homestead should be marked out over the pond as soon as possible, construction should be started as soon as possible, and moved as soon as possible.


    The next morning, when Li Qinghe returned the rabbit to the town, he stopped by the village chief¡¯s house and said about building a house.


    In fact, building a house in the village does not require money, as long as it is your own land and does not involve others, the foundation is still very easy, just say it.


    When I went home and passed by the Li''s house, I found that Zhao Wanwan, who hadn''t seen her for a long time, had come back. She was dressed in a veil, her hair was rolled up and a hairpin was inserted in her head. She stood in the yard with dignity, talking to the Qian who was washing clothes by the well, and saw her passing by. , Greeted warmly, "Sister, come back for dinner at noon."


    Is she also generous? Didn¡¯t you go to the exam? Is this a fortune?


    The author has something to say: see you tomorrow evening

 Chapter 45： Borrow again

    You can still go back to Li''s house at noon. Zhou Chengkang usually doesn''t come back at noon, and he just takes a few mouthfuls on the mountain. In fact, they were both very busy since they were married, and they really didn''t have a good rest.


    Li Qinghe didn''t go home anymore, she pushed the door directly in, and asked with a smile, "Wanwan, when did you come back?"


    Zhao Wanwan smiled sweetly. When she approached, she found that she had powder on her face, which was a little more delicate, "When I first arrived, I said I would invite you in the past, and I saw you passing by, sister, I was not there when you got married, right? Live!"


    "It doesn''t matter." Li Qinghe waved his hand, "Daddy?"


    "Grow vegetables in the backyard." Zhao Wanwan pointed to the back and pulled Li Qinghe into the door. "Sister, let me tell you that the county is prosperous, and there are many delicious and fun things, especially the fabrics and jewelry. I can''t get through. If I have silver, I have to buy ten or eight of it."


    "You are all new! They are very beautiful." Li Qinghe said sincerely.


    Zhao Wanwan smiled somewhat contentedly, "This is what my husband bought for me."


    "Very good." Li Qinghe suppressed the curiosity in his heart. In fact, he was curious about the source of the money. Earlier, the Hu family wanted the Li family to use the betrothal gift to do tricks, and asked casually, "Are you still doing the work in town? "


    Zhao Wanwan smiled and said, "I will go tomorrow."


    Oh, it seems that there is not much money. If you really get rich, what help should you do?


    "Next year, I will go to the county seat." Zhao Wanwan was excited, "Sister, you will be with me then."


    "I''m not going." Li Qinghe spread his hands, "I can''t get enough work at home."


    After entering the door for a long time, except for Zhao Wanwan, he saw no one else. Li Qinghe was curious and asked, "Is my brother-in-law back?"


    "No, he was in the county seat and found a new master. That master has a lot of talents under his name. Basically, every time the county tries to publish the rankings, his students win." Zhao Wanwan''s eyes were bright, "This year the husband is one less. Little bit, the designation will be successful next year."


    "Congratulations." Li Qinghe turned and went out, planning to go to the backyard to see Li Fu, Zhao Wanwan followed her, "I bought the meat and will stay for dinner later."


    She thought Li Qinghe was going home, "Look at Dad."


    In the backyard, Li Fu was sowing seeds. When he saw the sisters coming, his expression eased, "Your sisters have not seen you for a long time, so you can have a good chat."


    Li Qinghe took the seed in his hand, "I will help you."


    Zhao Wanwan is standing by the roadside. Her clothes are good-looking, but they are not suitable for work. Just standing by the roadside watching the two men thoughtfully, suddenly said, "Sister, can you lend me some money?"


    "No." Li Qinghe not only didn''t ask the reason, but even refused to lift his head.


    Zhao Wanwan was surprised, "You don''t even ask me what to do with it?"


    "What else can I do," Li Qinghe laughed. "You have said that the county is prosperous and expensive, and the brother-in-law still lives there directly. This is not a little bit of money to spend." The seeds in front of the field were sowed. Li Qinghe walked out of the field and asked with a smile, "Actually, I don''t understand. They are all the same helpers. The county town must pay much more than the town. Why do you come back?"


    She also noticed that Hu Yanxi bought Zhao Wanwan this outfit for the purpose of sending her back to help borrow money.


    "There are things you don''t know." Zhao Wanwan waved her hand and lowered her voice. The scholars are elegant and poor, but they can''t do these things to serve others. Otherwise, let outsiders know that Yanxi''s wife is a dishwasher, how do people think of Yanxi? "


    Li Qinghe was speechless for this reason.


    But if Hu Mu and Zhao Wanwan''s wages were all dependent on Hu Yanxi''s wages, Hu Yanxi would definitely not be enough. His mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would work for a month, and it would not be enough for his meal. Ask her to say that her family is not thick enough, she shouldn''t stay in the county seat.


    "Father, what do you say?" Seeing her silence, Zhao Wan turned to look at Li Fu who was digging in the ground.


    Say what?


    Isn''t it just trying to get Li Fu''s approval, and then ask him for money.


    To tell the truth, Li Qinghe felt uncomfortable, so she brought some on her face, "Daddy''s money is for the elderly." It was not for you to spend.


    Hearing that, Li Fu nodded in agreement, Zhao Wanwan frowned when she saw this, "Sister, it''s all right if you don''t help. Why do you even care about father''s money?"


    "Of course it''s because he is my father." Li Qinghe refused to give in. Originally, Li Fu didn''t have much savings. If misfortune happens to her, there will be a minor illness and pain at that time, ask who can take the silver?


    She hadn''t thought about asking Li Fu for money, but if someone wanted to borrow his money, she didn''t know it, and she would definitely not agree to it. Of course, if Li Fu was willing, she wouldn''t stop.


    But obviously, Li Fu didn''t want to be dazzled by the talented son-in-law, he just wanted to live his own life after marrying her daughter out.


    "Then he is also my father." Zhao Wanwan was also polite. After going to the county town, she seemed bolder and dared to argue with Li Qinghe, "If it''s an outsider, I won''t talk to him yet."


    Is it an honor to be co-authored by her? It''s the Mei''s idea. Those who can help are still close people, and they won''t be able to help in the future.


    "I don''t have much money." Li Fu said, "I gave you a dowry for five or two. After half a year, there were two weddings for the grain harvested last autumn. Your mother and I are almost out of grain. I¡¯ll buy it from next month. You can¡¯t even take away my money to buy food, right?"


    Zhao Wanwan looked embarrassed, "Father, I am not...I was thinking, it will be all right until now next year."


    This kind of mentality is not good enough, who says that he must be in the middle of the year?


    Li Fu waved his hand, "You are coming back in a hurry, I haven''t asked your uncle yet, is he back?"


    When asked about Qian¡¯s article, Zhao Wanwan¡¯s face paled, ¡°No, my uncle asked me to speak. He wants to stay in the county like her husband. He also asked me to bring a message to Qian¡¯s family and quickly send him to Shuxiu. Qian family I haven''t gone over there yet, I''ll talk later."


    Now is the time when the green and yellow are not picking up, as Li Fu said, many people have no food in their homes, and they have to buy back the food to eat, and no one has spare money.


    Yes, the rice can''t be eaten. People want to ask her to borrow money, but Li Qinghe can''t lend it. This rice is not enough. So he left and went home, Li Fu didn''t keep her, and asked her to go back another day.


    Li Qinghe returned home and made his own meals. Zhou Chengkang came back very early today. He brought firewood and got a pheasant.


    "Don''t go to town tomorrow, we will eat this pheasant." Zhou Chengkang smiled.


    "Let''s build a house early." Li Qinghe suggested. Otherwise, everyone knows that she has money to sell fish, and they want to borrow it.


    She can borrow some money to Zhao Wanwan if she has the money, but she doesn''t have enough money herself. If she borrows it, she must continue to live in this yard. She was so stupid that she was wronged to accommodate others.


    Besides, it is said that saving the emergency does not save the poor. If Zhao Wanwan really needs it, such as using money to help her life, she appoints some to be transferred out, but people are waiting for Hu Yanxi to take the exam. It is easy to say that she can pass the exam next year, but How easy is the county test?


    When they went there, they vowed that Hu Yanxi would win. What was the result? If you fail the exam in 10 years and 8 years, and the two mothers and daughters-in-law Hu earn not enough to spend, the debt will grow like a snowball. Wouldn''t these money be lost?


    In fact, I didn''t lend it to Zhao Wanwan at all, and Li Qinghe felt a little sad.


    The two had discussed building a house before. Upon hearing this, Zhou Chengkang smiled and nodded, "Okay."


    The next day, the two went to the wasteland. After going around, they confirmed the foundation. Not far from the pond, it was equivalent to the pond outside the yard, the chicken coop on the left, and the wasteland behind.


    The foundation was confirmed. Zhou Chengkang and the two drove out a wasteland to grow vegetables, and then he took the people to find suitable wood on the mountain to make the ridge of the window frame and door frame. It takes a lot of calculations, and people will start building the house there. The blue brick is back.


    By this time, many people in the village knew that Zhou''s fourth son was going to build a house.


    The source of the silver, needless to say, was obtained from selling fish a year ago, and more straightforwardly, it is the dowry silver of a man''s wife.


    Quite a few people secretly envy, and some others say sour words, this week''s fourth child, how is it like being in the family.


    Speaking of it really, the silver belongs to others, and the foundation also belongs to others. Isn¡¯t it the same as the entry?


    No matter what outsiders say, the raw materials for building houses on the wasteland are getting more and more piles.


    The author has something to say: so much first, there will be a change at 11 o''clock, and it''s even more.

 Chapter 46： house

    On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the two returned to Li''s house. This was the first time that Li Qinghe officially returned to her natal family after getting married. Li Fu was very happy, and went to the pond one day in advance to confirm whether she wanted to return.


    Therefore, when he got home, Li Fu didn''t go out. He was sweeping the floor at home. He saw the two people at the door, smiled and opened the door and led them in.


    The tea on the table in the room was well brewed, and the inside and outside of the room were cleaned up. Compared with the chaos when she came back last time, this time it was much better, and it was really thoughtful.


    Li Qinghe brought back a pheasant and a piece of meat. Li Fu smiled and took it, "Drink water. I was afraid that you would not come back earlier. Recently, have you been busy?"


    "Thank you, father." Zhou Chengkang took over the tea. "Actually, it''s okay. First prepare the wood and blue bricks and start slowly."


    "When will the construction start? How many people are invited?" Li Fu sat down opposite.


    "The construction will start in two days. I want to hire as many people as possible. I will finish the work earlier. I plan to move over in the winter of this year." Li Qinghe drank water. This feeling was quite novel. From childhood to adulthood, her father hadn''t I had a serious conversation with her like this, and when I was in a good mood, I said a few more words, "It''s hard to get up in winter, and someone has to watch the pond and chickens over there."


    Hearing this, Li Fu agreed, "I''ll look at the kitchen, you sit down."


    Qian was in the kitchen, and when they came in, she poked her head out to say hello, as if she had nothing to say about Li Qinghe not borrowing money last time.


    Soon, Qian¡¯s cooked dishes were brought over, a plate of meat slices, a pot of bone soup, green vegetables and pickles, porridge and steamed buns. The buns were whiter than normal whole-grain buns. Some, it can be seen that it has added fine surface.


    This meal is indeed thoughtful.


    The bowls and chopsticks were all set, Li Fu began to pour the wine, Qian looked out several times, Li Qing Hefu to his heart, asked, "Wan Wan is coming back?"


    Qian was also very happy, "Go back. Today at Dragon Boat Festival, she is looking for someone to work."


    When the food was served here, Zhao Wanwan returned. She bought a few steamed buns, the same veil from the last time, and Qian greeted her with a smile.


    In fact, if it is not for borrowing money, they can still get along in harmony. Until the end of a meal, Li Fu drank and blushed, "It would be nice if Yanxi was there."


    Zhao Wanwan helped Qian clean up the dishes and chopsticks slightly stiff, without saying a word.


    This situation is wrong, Zhao Wanwan always talks about every time Hu Yanxi is mentioned. Li Fu didn''t pay attention. Talking to Zhou Chengkang about the things that need to be paid attention to when building a house, Qian noticed it and frowned, "Wanwan, help me bring it out."


    Zhao Wanwan waved her hand, "Mother, I can''t work with this shirt, it won''t be easy to wash if it is stained."


    Qian endured his anger, "Then come over and talk to me."


    When Li Qinghe went to the kitchen carrying the bowls and chopsticks, she heard Zhao Wanwan crying and saying something outside, but when she went in, neither mother nor daughter spoke, and the atmosphere was silent.


    Obviously, something happened to Zhao Wanwan, but she didn''t want her to know that Li Qinghe was not curious, so she didn''t go there.


    Zhao Wanwan quickly said goodbye. She had only spent two hours there and had to rush back. When I left, my eyes were red, and I seemed to cry.


    When the people left, Qian also became silent a lot, occasionally watching Li Qinghe and the two men thoughtfully. When it was getting late, Li Qinghe and the two left and went home. Li Fu drank a little and chased them to the yard. , Full of pride, "When building a house, remember to come and find me. I don''t have the money to help, and I still have the strength to help move the bricks."


    Qian hurriedly rushed to the yard and helped him back to the end.


    After the two went back, they did start to build a house. Li Qinghe went to Li Xingwang, and Zhou Chengkang went to his uncle. The village and his uncle each invited a dozen people to build houses.


    The end of May is the best time of the year, and the days at this time will be half an hour longer than usual. Now it counts how much a day¡¯s wages are. Don¡¯t underestimate this half an hour. You can start working after dawn in the morning. At night, you don¡¯t have to touch the dark to let people go home, which makes people feel extraordinarily kind.


    The autumn harvest will take more than two months. At this time, the crops do not need to be prepared. Therefore, there are a lot of people who are free at home. There are more choices when inviting people. Those who are invited are all working honestly, but In half a month, the frame of the house has come out, so there are not so many people needed. Just wait for the carpenter to complete the roof and install windows and tiles, and the house will be complete.


    During this time, it was really early to go out and return late. Zhou Chengkang didn''t say anything, every day he went earlier than others, and he didn''t go home until he had finished walking. Li Qinghe just cooks meals for more than a dozen people a day. Even if only one meal is served at noon, it is not a job. Fortunately, with the help of Zhou''s mother, the fifth sister will also help to set the fire. Will help her to the pond together.


    It was Zhou Laosan who also went to the house to help for two days. Li Qingmiao and the two were basically there from start to finish. As for the others in the family, such as the Zhou boss, although they did not help with the work, they also gave out some tofu, which was considered a help.


    The carpenter over there was making the roof, while Li Qinghe asked to make a courtyard wall around the house.


    In fact, very few people in the village make courtyard walls. Most of them are fence courtyards that can be crossed by lifting their feet. There are neighbors on the left and right of the village, even if this is the case, I haven''t heard of any missing things. But Li Qinghe¡¯s house on the pond is different. No one lives within two miles and there is no courtyard wall, which is actually very unsafe.


    Besides, she still had some secret thoughts in her heart. There was a pond outside the house. If a fenced yard could not stop people, if you want to have children in the future, you would have to bother to take care of it. With the yard wall, the gate was closed, and she felt relieved.


    When the new house was completed, it was already at the end of June. The weather was hot. Many people in Zhou¡¯s yard, Li Qinghe and Zhou¡¯s mother, including Li Qingmiao, were very busy on this day. After the house was built, she had to ask the people who helped to eat. Meal, and then paid the wages.


    After the house was built, no one could get in with the blue brick courtyard and the door locked. Li Qinghe was very happy even if he was busy cooking before and after running, it was her own house.


    Moreover, the building of this house was exceptionally smooth. When there were people building tiles before, the bricklayer fell from the roof and was lucky to get his life back. This time, not only there was no fall, but there was no bump, and the matter was done smoothly.


    The yard outside was very lively. The kitchen knife in Li Qinghe''s hand was slicing vegetables quickly, the fifth sister was burning, and Zhou Mu was kneading noodles. The smile on the corner of her mouth never fell. "I didn''t expect it to be so smooth. I slept at night for more than a month. It¡¯s not true, sometimes dreaming that the house hurts people..."


    "Mother, don''t think about it so much." Li Qinghe smiled and persuaded, "This is not good. When we move in, if you want, you can live with us, and there are five sisters."


    The fifth sister in front of the stove smiled shyly. She was a fifteen-year-old girl. Because there were so many people in the family, the fifth sister usually took care of the housework at home and did not go out for a long time. This time, she helped to cook every day, Li Qinghe remembered in her heart, and also planned to add makeup to her when she got married.


    Li Qingmiao on the side teased, "Oh, you remember my mother, would you like to invite me to stay for a few days?"


    "If you are willing, just go live." Li Qinghe smiled, "Going more in the future, I''m afraid you won''t go."


    At this moment, there was a shadow at the door, and Zhang Haiyao stood at the door with arms folded, "Is the meal ready? Do you want to help? I''m a little hungry!"


    Her eyes fell into the pot, and she could see that the last sentence was what she was going to say seriously.


    Mother Zhou smiled, her tone serious, "Don''t be uncomfortable on a good day, there are so many outsiders, if you really scold you, then you won''t be able to step down."


    Even Mei''s in this family, although he did not help, they also gave out tofu, which can be regarded as helping to add a dish. It''s this person, don''t know how this person can see it, he doesn''t stretch out his hand at all. Zhou Mu didn''t have to ask her to help, but her attitude was not good, even if she helped to move a firewood field and pull two vegetables, you don¡¯t stretch out your hand when people need help, when she needs someone. , Who is willing to reach out?


    At that time, it was still the third child. Therefore, several daughters-in-laws compared, even if she was a little dissatisfied with the remarried Mei at first, she now has her heart better than Zhang Haiyao.


    Zhang Haiyao was not polite to several concubines, but she did not dare to shake her face when she faced Zhou Mu. Zhou Laosan did not allow her to shake her face. She walked two steps and stood by the stove, her voice low but the people in the house I can hear clearly, "Mother, telling you good news makes you happier."


    Mother Zhou glanced at her, disapproving.


    The other people didn''t give their eyes, Zhang Haiyao smiled and stretched out her hands to caress her belly, "I''m pregnant. Yesterday I went to the town to find a doctor to get my pulse. It has been two months since you will be a grandmother."


    Mother Zhou raised her head in surprise, "Really?"


    "The pulse of Doctor Huang in the town has been seen by many people. The third aunt in the village saw it with his own eyes. If you don''t believe me, go and ask." Zhang Haiyao smiled, "Mother, this is Zhou''s grandson. Said, Dad wanted to hug his grandson before he left, and when he was free, Chengcai and I went to the grave and told him in person, OK?"


    "Okay." Maybe he mentioned Father Zhou, Zhou''s mother''s eyes were a little red, and she asked, "The child is not stable yet, don''t say everywhere."


    "Listen to you." Zhang Haiyao obediently responded, "I will never go out and say it."


    When she left, Li Qingmiao touched her stomach, "Sister-in-law, why don''t I have any news yet?"


    "Don''t worry," Li Qinghe persuaded, "There will always be something, but don''t take any remedies."


    Hearing this, Zhou''s mother agreed, "Yes, you can''t eat anything that is a recipe for a son. Someone used to eat a recipe, and the child born is not a boy or a girl..."


    Then the building was crooked. At first I talked about the child, but later I said which remedy was effective and which was useless. She didn''t idle her mouth, she didn''t move slowly, and it was lunch at noon.


    After a meal, I asked the village head to help pay out the wages. Don¡¯t look at it for only a month or a few days, and the wages cost seven taels. That¡¯s the result of many people underpaid, such as Zhou Lao. Er and Li Qingmiao, the two helped from start to finish, and only received one man-made money. That is, Li Xingwang and his son also wiped out the odds, which is equivalent to a few days in vain. As for Li Fu, he didn''t want it at all. It was the village chief who forced it to pass, and he returned half of it.


    Li Qinghe stood aside, and noted how much these people received, and remembered whoever received less. She knew how others were willing to help.


    After sending everyone away, Li Qinghe only had a few pieces of silver left in his hands, and all his savings were spent.


    She knew that this money might not be enough, and there was nothing in the new house, beds, dressing tables, tables and chairs, including the pots and pans in the kitchen. These things were not enough.


    Fortunately, the fish in her pond can be sold again. When they are exchanged for silver, they should be able to buy them. If you don''t ask for exquisiteness, there should be more. However, she had to set aside money to buy fish fry and money to buy chickens.


    At night, Zhou Chengkang hugged her and the moonlight spilled into the house through the window paper. He only listened to him with a low smile, "Madam, I will live in your house in the future. In order not to be driven out, should I take care of you? ?"


    As he said, his hands had been groping around irregularly.


    Li Qinghe: "..." Is this serving? This is taking advantage!


    The next morning, the two rarely got up late. Since they got married, the two have not rested well and they are simply too tired. The sun was shining outside, Li Qinghe squinted his eyes and listened to the even breathing sound by the pillow, and the corners of his mouth twitched.


    The author has something to say: see you tomorrow evening

 Chapter 47： accident

    When the two got up, the family was still using breakfast, and it happened that the kitchen was vacant, and there were all the leftover meals from yesterday¡¯s treat. Zhou Chengkang saw it and smiled and said, "Go and rest, I''ll make it."


    Speaking of cooking, Li Qinghe suddenly remembered that when the two hadn''t married yet, Zhou Chengkang said that he would cook after getting married. He was not welcome at the moment, and turned back to the room.


    Zhou Chengkang returned to his room after the hot meal, and everyone in each room saw it.


    Looking at the food on the table, Li Qinghe teased and said, "Who used to say that you cook for me every day?"


    "I said." Zhou Chengkang smiled and handed her a bun, "I''m sorry, I broke my promise, I will try to make it for you in the future."


    In fact, there are not many men willing to enter the kitchen, that is, Li Fu is single-minded to Qian, and he did not deliberately let her rest and cook for herself. The most is to set her a fire.


    As for other homes, let alone.


    "A man goes into the kitchen to cook and wait, good luck!" A sour tone sounded in the yard, it was Zhang Haiyao, who was taking the quilt out to dry.


    The two looked at each other, and Zhou Chengkang approached her and said in a low voice, "Don''t pay attention to her, she is jealous. Third brother is not as diligent as I am."


    Li Qinghe really doesn''t care. This is his own life, so he just talks about it.


    The two of them had eaten, and went to the pond to feed the fish without delay. The two of them were very busy these six months, and it was not very convenient to live far away. The dozens of chickens bought earlier were lost in half, and half of them were inside. Roosters, several of them have started laying eggs recently.


    When they were busy, they didn''t feed the chickens at all. They would find food by themselves in the wasteland. Sometimes they would feed them with some fish feed. Except when they were young, they didn''t care much.


    Looking at the egg in his hand, Zhou Chengkang thoughtfully, "We will move over in the future and give it a try."


    After the two had finished feeding the chickens, they cleaned the surroundings of the new house again, and went around, seeing the new house more and more happily. Both of them looked forward to the days after moving.


    When they returned home, it was supposed to be the time to cook lunch, but the two of them ate late for breakfast and were not hungry for the time being. They just saw Zhou¡¯s mother carrying a **** to the backyard to grow vegetables. Zhou Chengkang whispered to her. Go and help his mother.


    These days, when I invite people, Li Qinghe is not only her own vegetable plot, but Zhou''s mother and Zhou''s boss are all pulled out by her, and even Li Fu has pulled some and sent them over.


    Thinking of Li Fu, Li Qinghe thought of the remaining steamed buns in the kitchen, and dozens of them. Naturally, they couldn¡¯t finish eating them. She distributed some of them to each family, and there were about 20 left, and she took some pots. , Sent back to Li''s house.


    It was the time when the sun was hottest, and there was no one in the yard. Li Qinghe opened the door and saw Li Fu lying in the shadow of the house taking a nap. Without seeing Qian, she put the buns in the kitchen, thinking about following Li Fu said, and found someone in the house when he walked over.


    It was Qian and Zhao Wanwan¡¯s mother and daughter, they were very close. Zhao Wanwan was still seen on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. She was also very busy. Restaurant helpers, unless they can¡¯t get out of bed, they have to go every day. To deduct money, people who are accustomed to working seriously are reluctant to take leave. Li Qinghe had done it before, and hadn''t taken leave in two years. It was normal after not seeing her for so long.


    She glanced around, thinking that it was the same with Qian, then lifted the door and saw Zhao Wanwan lying on Qian''s body crying.


    When the mother and daughter looked up, they saw Li Qinghe at the door.


    This is a bit embarrassing.


    She didn''t know that the mother and daughter were holding their heads and crying. Li Qinghe took the lead and said, "Aunt Qian, I steamed a lot of steamed buns yesterday, so I sent you some."


    Qian wiped his tears, "Oh, you can just keep it for yourself. What are you doing so politely?"


    It¡¯s all said that it¡¯s too much steaming. What is polite? It is obvious that Qian¡¯s thoughts are not on this. Li Qinghe did not plan to stay longer. "I put the kitchen in, and there is still something at home, I will go back first."


    As soon as she turned around, she heard Zhao Wanwan crying behind her, "Sister."


    Li Qinghe smiled, "It''s Wanwan, I didn''t even notice that you are back."


    It¡¯s not that she didn¡¯t say hello, but that Zhao Wanwan cried too sadly and avoided Li Fu. For her daughter, Li Fu, she certainly didn¡¯t want her to see her. Li Qinghe has always been a clear-minded person. .


    Zhao Wanwan wiped her tears and said bitterly, "Sister, that bastard, he actually took a concubine!"


    Li Qinghe: "..."


    She really didn''t know what to say, she thought about it, and asked, "Is it a girl from the county seat?"


    "The county sells rouge. She always gave me cheaper when I was there. I thought she would do business, but I didn''t expect her to stare at my man." Zhao Wanwan looked angry.


    "How did you know?" Li Qinghe asked tentatively, "Is anyone talking nonsense?" Seeing is believing.


    Zhao Wanwan''s tears fell more fiercely, "I also think this is a misunderstanding, but this is what my uncle told me."


    "Your uncle is back?" Li Qinghe was curious.


    Why is she so unbelieving that such a person who eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles can still think of going home after going to the county seat?


    "His grandmother was sick and he came back." Zhao Wanwan cried and hiccuped. "Grandma fell a few days ago and fell to the waist and stayed in bed."


    Li Qinghe had vaguely heard about this, but it was not serious, but when he was older, he had to take care of it. "Then please see the doctor?"


    "Please." Qian answered, "I am afraid that I can''t stand up anymore. I have to take care of my family members. My eldest brother has already gone home, and her uncle has to go to school. My father is too old. There are still people in my family. Waiting?" Speaking of this, she started crying again.


    This is indeed the case, Li Qinghe suggested, "Then you can go back and see every day..."


    When the words fell, someone from outside the yard came and shouted, "Sister Qian, your mother is dying, hurry up and take a look!"


    Qian was stunned, and all his tears were forgotten. Li Fu also woke up over there, and quickly entered the door, "Didn''t he fall back? I just went to see it yesterday, why didn''t it work?" Seeing her just caring Crying, urged, "Hurry up."


    Only then did he see Li Qinghe, tentatively said, "Qinghe, can you also take a look?"


    The Qian family has been in the door for several years. If the person is really gone, even if she has no contact with Qian''s family, she should go and take a look.


    The group hurried to Qian''s house, and it was only half of the two quarters of an hour''s journey. They were trotting all the way.


    After entering the door, I saw You and the others, that is, Qian Laiman''s family was there, and there were some people Li Qinghe didn''t know, probably relatives and neighbors of Qian''s family. The yard was almost full.


    Qian went straight to the wing, and Li Qinghe also took a look. The people kneeling around the bed in the room were crying. No doctor or anyone came forward. This is already dead. If not, what should be the bedside There are people.


    Everyone in the yard was talking, "Didn''t you say you fell to the waist? Why is it gone?"


    There was humanity right next to him, "Who knows, I can''t tell when I get older."


    "Who found it?" someone asked again.


    After listening to Li Qinghe for a while, he learned that Old Man Qian went to the backyard to grow vegetables. You''s came to deliver the food, and he sent it directly to the door to find that the person was gone and no one else was seen at home.


    What about money?


    Not only Li Qinghe was curious, but everyone in the yard was curious as well. During the discussion, he saw that the writer came back with a snack in his hand. Seeing so many people in the yard seemed quite surprised.


    "Where have you been? Your mother is dying, so quickly go in and have a look." A group of people urged him in. "Mother, my son bought you a snack, why didn''t you even have a bite of the snack..." crying very sadly.


    The person is gone, the next thing is to do the funeral. Li Qinghe went there for two days and sent a funeral ceremony.


    Funerals in the village are actually quite normal, although some people secretly murmured the cause of the old lady''s death, but no one went into details. After the funeral, I heard that Zhao Wanwan and Qian Laiwen went to the county town together.


    And Li Qinghe started to fish and sell fish with Zhou Chengkang again. At this time, there were not as many people eating fish as during the Chinese New Year. After two days of selling, it did not sell to one third. She simply went to several restaurants in the town. Dedicated to them, sent once every ten days, book in advance. Of course, the price is cheaper, twelve cents per catty. I bought the fry and put them in.


    With the silver, the two went to town again and ordered the furniture to match the size of the house. Zhou Chengkang also made a stove and bought pots and pans. When the furniture arrives, the house over there can be occupied at any time.


    There is still a period of time before the autumn harvest, and the husband and wife are not idle, and start to go up the mountain to chop wood. When they move to a new house here in the winter, they don¡¯t have much firewood except for the leftovers to build the house.


    For the villagers, there is not enough firewood. When they move in, they will have to entertain the guests. After a housewarming event, they will have to burn a lot of firewood.


    And Zhou Mu would not help prepare these firewood. Even if she was willing, Li Qinghe didn¡¯t want to. If Zhou¡¯s mother brought out the firewood this time, she would also help prepare the rest of the brothers¡¯ banquets, and her sons were married. If nothing happened, she would help. That shouldn''t be exhausting.


    Therefore, it''s best not to start this one at the beginning.


    The two went up to the mountain to chop wood every day. Autumn was approaching. There were many people cutting wood. When the autumn harvest started, there would be a delay there for a month, and the weather would not be so good after that.


    In fact, there are also companions in chopping wood. For example, Li Qingmiao and the two of them went up the mountain with them every day and came back together. Among the wives of the Zhou family, if they were good at work, they had to be young crops.


    She carried a bundle of firewood and went down the mountain quickly. Compared to her, Li Qinghe was far behind her. Not only was the firewood on her body a circle smaller than her bundle, but it was not as fast as her feet. She couldn''t help but said, " Young crops, slow down."


    Li Qingmiao ignored it, and went down so fast that no one could be seen in a blink of an eye. Li Qinghe had no choice but to go around a hillside, and suddenly saw Li Qingmiao in front of him fell to the ground and couldn''t get up. The firewood rolled to the side.


    She quickly stepped forward, "What''s the matter?"


    Li Qingmiao clutched his stomach with pain, "Qinghe, my stomach hurts."


    Li Qinghe is suspicious. She likes to joke with her most, and can''t help but say, "Don''t be kidding, can you move?"


    No wonder she was surprised. The girl from the dealer family couldn''t get up after a fall. Why was she so squeamish?


    Li Qingmiao tried it, her face was pale, her forehead was sweaty, and she didn''t know whether it was painful or hot. Li Qinghe helped her get up and saw her shaking her head, "No, it hurts too much."


    Seeing her doing this, Li Qinghe bent over and gritted her teeth on her back, "Hurry down, let''s go to the doctor."


    The author has something to say: This chapter breaks 2000 plus more for the collection, thank you for your support~

 Chapter 48： autumn harvest

    Gritting her teeth on her back, Li Qinghe started going down the mountain, all the way downhill. After turning two turns, she felt her calves started to tremble, but the person on her back didn''t have a word for a long time except heavy breathing and pain.


    She is a little scared in her heart. There are so many emergencies, such as the appendix, which is a pain in the stomach. A bad one is fatal. Li Qingmiao and her had a good relationship when they were young, and they are still wives. They are the ones who have the best relationship with her. Can''t help but, she whispered, "Qingmiao, you are better than the bundle I just carried. The firewood is heavier."


    After a long while, I heard her say, "I said it was my second wife... You actually compare me to firewood."


    Li Qinghe smiled at the corner of his mouth, and went down the mountain quickly and steadily, listening to the complaints from the people on his back from time to time along the way.


    After a quarter of an hour, I finally reached the foot of the mountain. Li Qinghe''s feet were already unsteady. I was thinking about finding a place to put her down. When I saw the two of Zhou Chengkang coming over, seeing the two of them like this, they rushed over, "This is what happened?"


    Zhou Lao Er took the person, Li Qinghe took a breath, and saw that Li Qingmiao had closed his eyes, and said hurriedly, "She fell and said her stomach hurts."


    The four quickly returned to Zhou''s house, and then set up a carriage, and within two quarters of an hour, they had arrived at the hospital.


    "I''ve got my fetal gas." After the doctor finished the pulse, his expression of hatred was not made of steel, "How can I do heavy work, and wrestle... Can you keep it? Let''s watch."


    The three of them were stunned. In the past two days, Li Qingmiao was carrying firewood and was almost catching up with the two brothers. She was walking fast. Who could tell that she was pregnant?


    "The troublesome doctor quickly dispenses medicine for us." Zhou Lao Er looked anxiously, looked at the pale man with closed eyes, and added, "Prepare good medicine, I have silver!"


    After the medicine was dispensed, Li Qinghe carried it, and the carriage slowed down a lot on the way back. Li Qingmiao never woke up, leaning his head on Zhou Lao Er, as if he was asleep.


    At the entrance of the village, her father and mother had already waited there. Seeing the posture, they would go to town if they didn¡¯t come back. Seeing the drowsy daughter, her face was anxious, "What''s wrong? Where did she fall? ?"


    Li Qinghe leaned over to let them get into the carriage, and said, "I''ve got a fetal gas. The doctor dispensed medicine and said that he should rest well and eat some body supplements. The **** on my side will grab a rooster and give her a stew soon. ."


    Hearing this, Mother Li looked surprised, "Is pregnant?" After reacting, she said gratefully, "Qinghe, thank you very much."


    Li Qinghe was actually a little nervous. In the past few days, they were cutting firewood and they were all together. Although everyone was working, Li Qingmiao actually stayed with her more. Everyone has a company. Now something happens, she still Afraid of her parents to blame. Naturally, the sensible ones won''t, and it''s really possible to blame her when you encounter the unreasonable and unreasonable mess.


    They had already arrived at Li Qingmiao''s house. They watched Zhou Lao Er carry the person in. The two returned to Zhou''s house and went to the new house to grab a rooster and sent it.


    Li Qingmiao was already awake when it was sent away, pale, holding her hand, "I didn''t expect this to happen, did it scare you?"


    "It''s fine if you are fine!" Li Qinghe saw that although her face was pale, but she was still in good spirits, "Does the stomach still hurt? Would you like to ask a doctor?"


    "It hurts a little bit." Li Qingmiao''s expression turned bitter, "They won''t let me get out of bed."


    "Your body is important." Li Qinghe laughed. "Lie down for a few more days. Besides, if you have a child in your stomach, you must be careful. You can''t cut the wood."


    When the two talked about cutting wood, they looked at each other and laughed.


    Soon, Zhou''s mother who got the news also arrived, and she caught an old hen and sent it here. When the Li family became lively, seeing that Li Qingmiao was indeed fine, he was a little bit more happy.


    When they got home, it was getting late. Li Qinghe had been running around for a long time today and was worried for a long time. In fact, he was more tired than normal work. Zhou Mu even asked them to eat together.


    The two did not refuse. They had dinner with Zhou''s mother and five sisters. While they were eating, Zhang Haiyao entered the door.


    She leaned on her waist, sat down with a smile, and took the bun for herself, "Second sister-in-law is pregnant?"


    Mother Zhou glanced at her and gave a hum.


    Zhang Haiyao took a bite, "Mother, just now I can see that you mentioned the old hen, what about mine?"


    Li Qinghe and Zhou Chengkang looked at each other, which was really rude.


    Mother Zhou put down the bowl and knocked the chinaware on the wooden table with a slight "bang". The room was quiet, and Wumei was so scared that she didn''t dare to chew the chicken. If I don¡¯t like it, I¡¯ll kill and feed the dog. That¡¯s my business.¡±


    Maybe Zhou¡¯s mother was so harsh suddenly. Zhang Haiyao was stunned, and the steamed bun in her mouth could not be chewed. Zhou¡¯s mother did not let her go, and continued, ¡°It¡¯s like the steamed bun you eat, I won¡¯t speak, no It means that I am willing to give you food, and people must be self-aware. Don''t make people hate the dog, and feel that I am so amazing."


    "Isn''t it just a whole grain bun?" Zhang Haiyao''s expression was cold, and she stood up and said, "I don''t want to eat it. Anyway, the child in my stomach is not as good as the one with another family name."


    After speaking, he lifted the curtain and went out.


    Zhou''s mother was so angry that Li Qinghe was a little worried. If she was angry, she was busy persuading, "Mother, don''t be angry. If you don''t like to listen, you will treat her as farting. Who takes farts seriously? It¡¯s not guilty of being uncomfortable."


    Wumei also quietly poured a glass of water and put it next to her. Mother Zhou sighed and took a sip of water, "I am really uncomfortable for children with other people''s surnames, but no matter who they are with, they must have children first. Now... ."


    Listening to this, it is really inexplicable and reasonable. If it weren''t for the marriage, the brothers in this family wouldn''t even be bachelor. Anyway, she can figure it out by herself.


    "Eat, don''t let her ruin her good mood." Zhou''s mother looked at the two of them, "Don''t be too busy all day, your child is important."


    This Li Qinghe is really not in a hurry. She is still young. Besides, she knows better. This child will be discussed after two years. When she is older, she will not be so dangerous to have children. Besides, after two years, they will stabilize there. Don''t be so busy, it''s good for children.


    Zhou Chengkang took the conversation and said with a smile, "Mother, don''t worry about us, we know it in our hearts."


    Zhou¡¯s mother put down the bowls and chopsticks, ¡°You two are the most worrying. Although the boss is a little careful, he sees that there is a craft. The second child¡¯s reputation is a bit unpleasant, but Li The old couple treated him well. I don''t worry about it, just..."


    She looked in the direction of Zhou Laosan¡¯s house, hating iron but not steel, "That bastard! It took so much money, and she said she was a girl in the town, but the old lady was flabbergasted. She also said that the family is pampered and rich, and that eyelid. It''s shallow!"


    She shook her head, "I only hope that the child will not follow her. I don''t want to earn anything by myself, but I want to divide it. Fortunately, my flesh and blood can''t be exchanged for money, or she will have to take it apart."


    Zhou Chengkang comforted in a low voice. Li Qinghe didn''t say a word. In fact, she agreed with Zhou Mu''s words, but that couldn''t be said. If she spit out along with her, others would treat her as provocative and provocative.


    In the following days, the two of them went up the mountain to chop wood, and they chopped for a month, filling up the wood room and backyard of the new house. I can''t cut it anymore, and the autumn harvest begins.


    In this autumn harvest, in addition to the wasteland, Zhou Chengkang also got a piece of land and a small paddy field. However, there is probably no harvest this year. You have to pay the grain tax first, and then pay back one hundred catties of the grain owed. There is probably not much left.


    The autumn harvest of the villagers is really day and night, the day is too hot, and many people take advantage of the moonlight to harvest wheat at night.


    The two of them don¡¯t have much land, so they go every morning and evening. When the sun gets big, they take a rest, and they are back in two or three days. It is worth mentioning that the Zhou family yard brothers seem to be extremely small and want to dry the wheat. It was inconvenient at all. Li Qinghe and the two did not take it at all, and moved directly to the new house. The large yard was enough for them.


    After harvesting the land, there are still a few acres of wheat on the wasteland, which is said to be a few acres, but it is really not much. If you have to pay the grain tax, it is equivalent to a year of nothing. But this kind of land, the harvest will be more and more every year.


    The two put the food in the door, and many people in the village have just started, such as Li Fu.


    This year, the Qian family still stayed on the ground, and only let Li Fu go alone. This method of hers is actually very condemning. Even if the farming is slack, don''t help if the autumn harvest is so busy. In case of a heavy rain, then confiscate the harvest and wait for the hungry.


    After finishing his own affairs, Zhou Chengkang ran to help Zhou''s mother for a day. After all of them were cut off and moved home, he went to Li''s house.


    Li Qinghe also went, Qian''s really only cooked at home, because the two of them went to help, Li Fu also took the money and asked her to go to town to buy some meat back.


    Said to be helping, in fact, only Zhou Chengkang was there sooner or later, while Li Qinghe had to feed the fish and chickens himself, and went back to the new house to turn the wheat out. There was not much time left, but she brought the tea to the field.


    She went early that day, thinking that the water she brought from the ground should not have been drunk, so she didn''t take it. As a result, the water ran out after a while. The water fetching work must be hers, and neither of them would **** her.


    Carrying the teapot, there was no water in the new house, and she did not burn it in the Zhou''s yard, so she went back to Li''s house to get it. Qian''s tidying up at home, the tea should still be ready.


    As soon as I entered the yard, I saw a person coming out of the house, still an acquaintance.


    ¡ª¡ªZhao Tianfu.


    He was so courageous, he went straight into the house. Last time Li Qinghe saw the two going together, when Zhao Wanwan and Hu''s family were discussing marriage, he didn''t expect that this time he went straight into the house.


    Seeing her coming back with the teapot, Qian stood under the eaves and was stunned. The conscience of heaven and earth, Zhao Tianfu really just came, and he left when he came. Who knows such an inch, this can be encountered.


    "Is this Qinghe?" Zhao Tianfu greeted her first. He was a little fat, with a red nose and a dark red face. This should be the result of a long-term alcoholism. "Thank you to take care of her, Zhao Uncle remembers that, if you have anything to do, go find me." He patted his chest, "If you can help, you will definitely help."


    Qian was too anxious, and urged, "Hurry up, so many words."


    Zhao Tianfu smiled and left, and Qian came forward to take Li Qinghe''s teapot, "Is there no water? I have all the tea, just to quench my thirst."


    Li Qinghe stood under the big tree in the yard and watched Qian quickly fill the tea in the kitchen. She reached out and took it and turned to go out.


    "Qinghe," Qian called her, "I don''t have anything between Wanwan and her father. Can you just ignore it?"


    The author has something to say: see you at 11 o''clock

 Chapter 49： Thief

    Li Qinghe had already turned around and walked two steps before hearing the words. "If no one asks, I won''t say it. Similarly, I won''t lie."


    If Li Fu asked about her and didn''t say anything, it would be too shameful.


    In the field, Li Fu and Zhou Chengkang were chatting. The work of this person is very different from having someone accompanying him. Even if the two people are tired and someone speaks with them, time passes unconsciously and the work is done.


    Li Qinghe took the teapot and poured water for them. Li Fu took it, "Your Aunt Qian made the tea?"


    Li Qinghe said, Li Fu didn''t care too much. He also knew that his daughter and Qian were not dealing with him, so he didn''t force her to have mother and daughter affection, and then asked, "I did a lot today, and I was hungry quickly. Have you eaten yet?"


    "I didn''t go into the kitchen." Li Qinghe spread his hands, "I don''t know, maybe I can eat."


    In the afternoon, when the sun was hottest, the three packed up their things and went home for dinner.


    In the Li''s courtyard, the food was already set on the stone table under the big tree. Qian brought out the bun from the kitchen and saw them enter the door. He smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat."


    In fact, no matter how many times Zhou Chengkang came to Li''s house, he was always a little cautious. Li Qinghe took him to sit there, and suddenly found that there was a plate of greens, some pickles, and a bowl of soup on the table. He didn''t see any fishy meat. Things were wrong. , Li Fuming said to eat meat at noon...


    The two of them looked the same, even their eyes were not right. They started to eat, and when Li Fu came out of the hut, he frowned after seeing the food. Qian was secretly looking at his face, and hurriedly said, "No, I am in the morning. I heard that the meat in the town is not good, so I didn''t go, and I will definitely go tomorrow."


    Li Fu frowned, saw Li Qinghe and the two, and quickly let go, "Don''t forget tomorrow, buy some at any rate, what is this like?"


    There was nothing to say. In the afternoon, Li Fu went as usual. When he had dinner the next day, the table was still vegan. Qian''s smile reluctantly, "I went, and halfway around, I found that the silver was lost."


    Li Fu''s face turned black immediately, "Why didn''t you lose yourself? You can''t do anything well, so let''s go to the ground together in the afternoon!"


    The final word is final, and there is no room for rebuttal.


    In the afternoon, when Qian came out again, he wore a cap on his head and covered the entire upper body. There are not no women in the village who are afraid of getting sunburned, but such an exaggeration is really not seen.


    Li Fu saw it and frowned, "You really want to bring this stuff, it¡¯s best to wear it when you get to the field. Otherwise, it¡¯s not just you who are jokes, but also Wanwan. You said that if the people in the town said her People in Niangzhuang are afraid of getting sun-dried when they work. Will anyone make a joke?"


    When Qian heard the words, he hurriedly put the cap away, and after entering the door, he took out the normal straw hat.


    The land at Li Fu''s house has been steadily worked for several days before it is considered finished.


    The food came in, and the two paid back what they owed and paid the food tax. The rest is left at the new house. When the autumn is over, the house there should be almost done, and then they can move. Up.


    Li Qinghe got up in the morning and was washing himself. Li Fu came with a piece of meat in his hand. It seemed that he had been sent here specially. "I went to town in the morning and saw it was quite fresh. I brought it back by the way."


    It should have been a few days ago without eating meat. I bought it and sent it to make up. Li Qinghe didn''t pick it up. "Daddy, eat it yourself. I have eggs over there."


    Li Fu couldn''t help but said to enter the door, handed the meat to her and turned around. After two steps, he walked back to her, looked around and lowered his voice, "I heard that someone went to the house two days ago. Have you ever met? "


    Li Qinghe is a bit complicated. She knows that she doesn¡¯t say a word, and the neighbors around are not eyeless. It¡¯s normal that she didn¡¯t meet anyone on the roadside as early as the first time. They all ran into the house. Someone must have seen it. And this relationship is complicated, someone will definitely say.


    Seeing her silence, Li Fu didn''t understand what else, and his expression became more serious. "It''s really her father Wanwan?"


    Look, she didn''t say a word yet, Li Fulian knew who it was.


    "Yes, I talked to me." Li Qinghe thought for a while, "Aunt Qian said that he would leave as soon as he came, and told me not to tell you. I was busy with the autumn harvest at that time, so I didn''t say anything."


    If there is a quarrel, with Qian''s temperament, she will definitely do things like not cooking or washing, and Li Fu will suffer in the end. Although he was enjoying it too, he could wait for the two to slowly make a noise after the autumn harvest.


    Li Qinghe carried a piece of meat and watched Li Fu strode back. What''s the use of being fierce? When Qian cried, he must be softhearted.


    "Oh, didn''t you mean that your father only loves the stepdaughter? This kiss is the kiss. Didn''t this bring you meat?" Zhang Haiyao''s sharp voice sounded.


    Very annoying!


    She didn''t bother to pay attention to her, and went straight in with the meat. Zhang Haiyao never thought that Zhang Haiyao would follow her to the door, "Brother and sister, sell me this meat, anyway, on such a hot day, you can waste it if you can''t finish it."


    "Not for sale, not enough to eat." Li Qinghe replied quickly, "Give the extra to my mother, are you going to grab her?"


    If she dare to admit this, give her this meat!


    Zhang Haiyao naturally didn''t dare to take it. The pregnant family would definitely make some good food for her. The elders were willing to give it to her, but it was normal, but they couldn''t grab it. If a charge of unfilial piety is suppressed, it will be pricked in the backbone.


    Zhang Haiyao snorted softly, "Eating alone."


    It''s impossible to make sense. When she ate it herself, she didn''t see who she would give it to. Li Qinghe didn''t take this matter to heart, took the meat to the kitchen and steamed the buns.


    At night, a woman''s scream suddenly sounded in the Zhou''s yard, "Where is my money?"


    Li Qinghe and the two were awakened, and seeing that the sky was not even bright outside, Mei cried out, "Mother, mother, I have lost my silver, can you help me find..."


    On the side it seemed that Zhou Boss was persuading him, so he listened to Mei''s loud voice, "What is the middle of the night? This is money for half a month of hard work. I can''t find it. No one wants to sleep today!"


    He called out anxiously, "Mother, my money is gone."


    Zhou Mu got up and knocked on their doors again, "Get up."


    When the two went out, everyone was in the main room, Mei''s eye circles were red, and he had obviously cried. Po Liu stood in the corner with arms folded, her expression gloomy.


    Mother Zhou knocked on the table, "In the middle of the night, everyone was tossed by you, what is going on? Let''s talk."


    "The silver is lost." As soon as Meis spoke, tears fell. "I worked so hard to get up in the middle of the night every day and get up early to earn money, and it was all gone."


    Mother Zhou became impatient, "make it clear! It''s not about how you make money, whoever gets the money is hard."


    "I put the silver on the bedside. I just got up to make tofu. I touched it by the way and found that it was all gone." Mei said while crying, "I turned the whole bed over several times. . It must be a thief."


    Mother Zhou frowned, "How much silver?"


    Mei wiped a tear, "I can count clearly, one or two silver, and two hundred and thirty copper plates."


    She was sure, Zhou''s mother glanced around the people in the house, pondered for a while, and said, "If you think about it again, if you have to change places, this room is all your family, and there are some things you can''t talk about."


    "My family?" Mei''s voice shrieked, "It is said that house thief is hard to guard against. There is no one in this family who has been separated from him. It was originally done by his family."


    Zhang Haiyao sneered, "I haven''t been to your house."


    Mei and the others went early, and they closed early at night. Sometimes they didn''t run into each other for a few days. It was inconvenient at first. Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe had never been to her house.


    Boss Zhou teased her, "You keep your voice down."


    Mei changed his docile temperament and pulled back his sleeves, unceremoniously, "I am a thief, and it is not me who is ashamed. Why should I keep my voice down?"


    She looked angry, "Anyway, I put my words here. I can''t find the money tonight, and no one can sleep. If you can''t find it tomorrow, no one is allowed to go out. Everyone should stop working."


    Zhou Mu looked ugly, "Are you sure you lost your silver?"


    "What do you mean by this mother?" Mei asked, and continued, "If I didn''t lose it, I would have been busy making tofu to make money at this hour. I have been in the door for a year, and I am not the unreasonable person."


    Mother Zhou looked at Wumei, "Wumei, can you see someone enter your sister-in-law''s house?"


    Wumei shook her head, "I haven''t seen it."


    "Then search." Mei''s face was taken for granted.


    "I want to be beautiful!" Zhang Haiyao said, "There is more than your silver in my room."


    Li Qinghe didn''t agree to search, "The silver is all the same, how can you recognize it?"


    The atmosphere froze, and Old Lady Liu said, "Anyway, if I can''t find the money, I will take my daughter-in-law and go home to live. This is a lot of people, and they also raise family thieves... Tsk tsk..." The last one looked like a hard word. , It seems that Zhou''s family is so unbearable.


    "Sister-in-law, what do you mean?" Mother Zhou looked at her, "You are making this scene. The purpose is to move, right?"


    "I didn''t even think about moving. I''ve been living for a year since I''m not used to it, but there are thieves in this house, so I can''t live. I won''t be able to earn any money. I originally wanted to wait to make enough money. Just build a house and let the two of them set up their own houses..."


    Po Liu seriously said, "Sister, this family can no longer live. After two years, we have made enough money, so we will look back at the village to build a house. How about?"


    "Not so!" Mother Zhou looked at Boss Zhou with a serious face, "Boss, do you want to move too?"


    Boss Zhou shook his head, "Just because the silver is lost, the plum blossoms are uncomfortable."


    "If you can''t keep the money, don''t check the money. I have put the money in this house for so many years, and I haven''t lost a single copper plate." Zhou Mu looked at Mei with contempt, "You don''t want to collect the money in the future, you will collect it to the boss. Go!"


    The author has something to say: See you tomorrow evening. Thanks to the little angel who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution during 2019-11-1720:55:26~2019-11-2222:52:05~


    Thanks to the little angels who cast mines: Lotus, 2;


    Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: 2 bottles of Want Want; 1 bottle of Xin Xueer;


    Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

 Chapter 50： Incident

    Zhou''s mother''s words fell, and the room was quiet for a moment. Mei was the first to react, "No, I''m obviously looking for silver, how can I get here?"


    "Since I''m talking about this, I have to ask one more question!" Zhou Mu glanced at her, "Who has collected the money you earned since you got married?"


    Mei''s head dropped, Boss Zhou frowned slightly, "Mother, don''t..."


    Mother Zhou was not polite, "I am your mother, can''t I ask?"


    "I took it. Isn''t it okay? I''m going to buy beans with the silver, and if I have it, I''m afraid they will lose it. Don''t you lose it now?" Liu Pozi''s face was taken for granted.


    Mother Zhou sneered, "Actually, I don''t like plum blossoms, but if there is a way, I won''t agree to this marriage."


    Mei''s face turned pale, Zhou''s mother glanced at her, "I don''t like you, it''s not because you remarry. It is not easy for women in this world. Although I have been guarding for many years, I will never look down upon the remarried woman, because I don''t like you. , It¡¯s because you can¡¯t handle it clearly, and you have to get together with your ex-grandmother, how can you live well this day?"


    "What do you mean?" Posit Liu was dissatisfied, "I said that when I was discussing marriage, I was remarried by the plum blossoms. You have to support me in the old age."


    "Give you old age, I admit that. But it''s a bit unreasonable to keep all the money you earned, right? You are in front of my son''s home, have you asked me this mother?" Zhou When the mother talked about this, she was also a little annoyed, "Isn''t it possible that someday I can''t get up when I lie in bed, and my son wants to get the money to ask the doctor, but he will go to you?"


    Boss Zhou lowered his head.


    Mei''s complexion changed slightly, and he didn''t usually think that if a son asks a doctor for his mother and asks others for money?


    "If it''s Meihua''s mother, I still recognize it, you, a former mother-in-law, why do you take the money my son earned?"


    Liu Pozi sneered, "I can see that there are no thieves in this house. It is clear that you took the plum money and deliberately caused us to stir up trouble. Is this your purpose?"


    "Although I am poor, I am not going to be a thief. Besides, my son''s silver, I just ask him, can he still give it?" Zhou''s native language was serious, "Why should I steal it!"


    The tone is taken for granted, and it is true if you think about it carefully. If Zhou Mu really wanted to ask Mr. Zhou for a penny or two, could he still not give it?


    "Today in front of the family, I will say it again, if you want to move back to Liujia Village, I won''t stop it. But if you want to take my son and daughter-in-law, it''s impossible!"


    Old lady Liu looked ugly and she was about to speak. Mother Zhou raised her hand to stop her, "Don''t tell me if you come back to build a house in two years, I don''t believe it. I also understand your thoughts. If you look at the boss, don''t you just look at him poor. Is it? You treat him as a long-term worker who doesn''t need to pay, and call it at will. He agrees, I don''t agree!"


    "Mother, it''s not like this." Zhou boss said busy.


    "What''s that like?" Mother Zhou looked at him, "You are more than 20 years old this year, and Meihua is not too young, and you have never had children. Why did you have no children for a year?"


    "The child depends on fate." When Boss Zhou said this, he was a little guilty.


    Mother Zhou was angry, "What fate? Are you busy making money?"


    The room was quiet. When Li Qinghe got up, she really thought she had lost her money. He didn''t expect Zhou Mu to hide so many things in her heart.


    Liu Pozi usually has a very low sense of presence in Zhou''s family. Li Qinghe split up as soon as he walked in, and did not eat together. Sometimes he would forget that there was such a person in the family.


    It is a bit too much to collect all the money earned by the husband and wife. However, it is not good for anyone to complain about their own affairs except Zhou Mu.


    Old lady Liu frowned, "When talking about silver, we are looking for silver."


    "Definitely you can''t find it." Mother Zhou looked serious, "Except for my house, there are no houses that have more than this amount of silver. Even if you don''t find so many copper plates in all the houses, you must say that they are buried in the yard. You can say that they have already taken it. I know that your purpose is not to be moved. I know your purpose is to move away."


    "I want to find money." Liu Pozi gritted her teeth, "I will move if I can''t find it. Anyway, it will be at your Zhou''s house, unless you pay it out."


    Mother Zhou sneered, "Compensation? What do you want to do beautiful dreams or good things? Find money for money, what do you say to move away? Or you move it yourself. Also, if you pay for the money earned by the older couple Now, I''m going to let the villagers come to judge. I have been married for a year, and my son is greedy for the dark every day. Even his brother couldn''t help with building the house, and nothing was left behind."


    Po Liu''s complexion turned pale, Zhou''s mother looked at Mei, "Over the past year, you know how our family treats you. If you want to move, we don''t have a daughter-in-law in our family anymore, you follow your mother-in-law back to Liu''s house. Go to the village."


    "Mother, I didn''t want to go back to Liu''s house." Mei''s tears fell instantly.


    Mother Zhou looked at the bright sky outside, "Then don''t make trouble. I still said that, put the money away by yourself, it''s my own business to lose it, don''t talk about the thief, I feel embarrassed. "


    When the night broke, Zhang Haiyao yawned, "There is no thief in this house. Who can value the one or two dollars? Delayed sleep." After that, she clutched her stomach and went out.


    She was right, who would run to steal money? To put it ugly, you really want to do something to steal Zhang Haiyao or Li Qinghe, which one is not more silver than Mei''s?


    Li Qinghe and the two did not go back to sleep either. They went directly to the pond and fed the fish. It was already autumn. Sooner or later it was a bit cold. Standing in the yard of the new house, Zhou Chengkang suggested, "Should we move out?"


    Sooner or later, Li Qinghe wanted to move in. In fact, Li Qinghe wanted to move a long time ago. "Let''s take a few days." These few days are too sensitive.


    After feeding the fish, the two went up the mountain together, cutting wood and hunting along the way. When they came back, it was early. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw Yu Yan running quickly, "Qinghe, I heard that you went up the mountain. I''ve come back, soon, your father is fighting with your Aunt Qian."


    Li Fuhui is willing to fight Qian?


    When Li Qinghe hurried home, he was speechless when he saw the situation in the yard. Qian had nothing to do. He sat at the table under the big tree in the yard and cried, while Li Fu was squatting at the kitchen door and holding his head, vaguely seeing A big bag on his forehead looks a little pitiful.


    Seeing this situation, Yu Yan was also a little embarrassed, "When I went to find you, the two of them were entangled. I was also afraid that something might happen."


    Li Qinghe thanked her, opened the door and went into the yard. Qian was crying. He raised his eyes to see her, "You''re a **** stick, what nonsense are you talking about? Wanwan''s father came back and asked me Wanwan''s current situation? Do you have to make me fight with your father to be satisfied? You don''t want me to be good."


    What''s this all about?


    "I said, if Dad asks, I won''t lie to him." Li Qinghe frowned, "Besides, Dad didn''t listen to me."


    "Who else can you have?" Qian was very angry, and his voice was loud.


    "You are all blind neighbors around you?" Li Qinghe asked back, looking at the furious Qian, "Since you said I was instigating separation, I can''t be wronged by you."


    She turned to look at Li Fu at the door of the kitchen, "Father, when Wanwan and Hu''s family were discussing marriage, one day I went to return the shoes, and saw her and Daddy Wanwan talking on the path to Xiaohe..."


    "You talk nonsense." Qian screamed.


    Li Fu looked up, his eyes flushed, "So this is not the first time you met him, right?"


    "I didn''t." Qian''s tone was decisive. "She didn''t want me to be good, she made up her mind!"


    Li Fu looked at his daughter, his eyes probed.


    I knew it would be like this. Between Qian and her, Li Fu generally trusted Qian, and Li Qinghe spread his hand, "If you really want to inquire, there are so many people in the village who will always see it. Just ask. Come on."


    What is this nonsense?


    Li Fu''s face suddenly turned black. If he really ran to find out when his wife had a relationship with Zhao Tianfu, I was afraid that he would have to ask if there was nothing wrong.


    Qian''s eyes stared fiercely, "Did you see it?"


    Meeting her eyes, Li Qinghe stretched his hands, "I actually saw it with my own eyes. I didn''t know him at that time. Didn''t you say that I can''t see you? I really want you and my father to have a good time. Look at this. I didn''t mention anything."


    Qian lowered his head, wiped a handful of tears, and his voice trembled, "Brother Fu, I am dealing with him for Wanwan. He has some means. If it weren''t for him, the Hu family would like to change people, Wanwan''s marriage. It¡¯s not so smooth."


    Hearing this, Li Fu frowned, "Didn''t I say that if the Hu family''s relatives don''t accomplish anything, then Hu Yanxi will not take responsibility at all. This marriage is not very good at all, don''t force it. Why are you still..." He hates that iron cannot be made into steel. What did he think of, he asked, "In other words, the five-two dowry that the Hu family said does not need so much?"


    Qian, "You didn''t even give five taels?"


    "I also said why the Hu family didn''t say that you and your mother and daughter joined forces to lie to me?"


    He thought of something again, his expression ugly, "Qing and He helped our family''s autumn harvest. I asked you to buy meat. You said the silver was lost. Is the silver really lost?"


    The yard was quiet for a long while before Qian said in a low voice, "Wanwan went to the county seat. There has been no news for a long time. I am not relieved, but I dare not go, so I want her father to have a look, but he didn¡¯t. Entangled, so..."


    "So the money was given to him?" Although it was a question, the tone was firm.


    "You''re fine!" Li Fu nodded. "Yesterday morning you said you were worried about your father living alone? Go back and accompany him."


    Hearing this, Qian''s face changed, "What do you mean?"


    "Literally." Li Fu got up, his back bent a lot, "I want to be quiet."


    When he entered the door, Qian looked at Li Qinghe at the door and asked with a sneer, "Are you satisfied?"


    "What am I satisfied with?" Li Qinghe stretched his hands. "I didn''t wrong you either. When you do these things, you should think about whether my father can accept it if he knows it."


    "I don¡¯t have anything between Wanwan and her father. Is it possible that we have children?" Qian¡¯s tears fell down, "I know that remarriage is difficult and it¡¯s easy to misunderstand. I think that your father is just like the man in the world, he doesn''t believe in his wife, he believes in the long-tongued wife outside!"


    She did not deliberately lower these words, even deliberately raised her voice, not only Li Qinghe in the yard, but also Li Fu in the house and neighbors heard them.


    Li Fu came out again and stood under the eaves looking at her, looking ugly.


    The author has something to say: Collection break 2100 plus more (humble) Thank you for your support~


    See you tonight

 Chapter 51： Wumei

    Seeing Li Fu coming out, Qian''s voice became quieter, and he cried, "If I have anything with him, I can''t marry you again. It''s really for the sake of grace that we come together."


    Li Fu looked at her, and saw that she lowered her head uncomfortably, before asking, "You mean, I didn''t take care of Wanwan?"


    No, Qian suddenly discovered that someone who has always been good at talking came up with horns and made no sense, "You take care of it, but sometimes some extraordinary means are needed. You are too upright..."


    "You used extraordinary means, and Wanwan married into Hu''s family as you wish. What''s going on now?"


    Hearing that, Qian''s face turned pale, and said in grief, "At the beginning you only said that the Hu family was not a good match, and you didn''t say that you must not marry. Now something has happened, you are here again, why didn''t you stop earlier? I want to know that this is the case now, and I won''t let Wanwan marry..."


    Li Fu raised his hand to interrupt her, "Do you think you have a clear conscience?"


    "I have a clear conscience." Qian looked into her eyes with a serious tone.


    "Well, I''m really uncomfortable now, and I don''t want to see you. Since there is nothing between you, you should go home first and pick you up when I figure it out." Li Fu waved his hand and said to enter the door.


    How can I tell her to go home after so long.


    It''s not that Qian didn''t want to go home. She was indeed worried that her father was alone at home and wanted to go back to take care of him, but that had to be Li Fu''s willingness instead of rushing her back because he was so angry now. Besides, there is another biggest reason. His father is too old and can no longer go to the land. In fact, he is now supported by her foster brother, the father who is full of money, because he is too old to cook. , So every day¡¯s meals are prepared and delivered to him, it makes sense for others to serve his father. But why give her food?


    So, if this house returns, she won''t even have food. Besides, because she is married close, there is no room for her in that family, where do you go back to live?


    "Brother Fu, what shall I eat when I go back?" She was just stunned. Li Fu had already entered the door and hurriedly chased for two steps. "Can''t you go to my elder brother''s house for dinner?"


    Li Fu has closed the door, "I have respected their two elders for so many years. Can''t I still serve you for a few days?"


    Seeing this, Li Fu didn''t want to entertain his daughter anymore. Li Qinghe turned and went out, before leaving the house and turned around and said, "You should pay back the money you lent your brother earlier. My father doesn''t ask, but if he has three diseases Two pains, I won¡¯t make money either."


    Qian gritted his teeth with anger, "He is in the county seat now, if he has the ability, you can ask him?"


    "Don''t think I dare." Li Qinghe sneered, "I''m going to sell fish in a few days. It will be a good thing to find him when the time comes. If he really gets to his door, do you think he is still famous? "


    Qian was shocked.


    In the evening, Li Qinghe made a meal, thought about it and brought it to Li Fu.


    The yard of Li''s house was dark, and the candle was not lit. At first glance, it looked like no one was at home. When I walked in, I saw Qian squatting on his knees, very pitiful.


    Li Qinghe pretended not to see him, and went straight into the main room with the food, "Father, eat."


    After a long while, Li Fu came out from inside, his complexion softened, and when he saw the food on the table, he sighed, "If I''m hungry, I know how to cook it, so I don''t have to give it to me."


    "The meat you gave me yesterday, there are still a few steamed stuffed buns. I won''t give it to you tomorrow." Li Qinghe said while putting out the food.


    There were three big buns and two dishes. Li Fu sat at the table, picked up the buns, and asked, "Have you eaten?"


    "I ate." Li Qinghe sat opposite him and whispered, "Father, she''s still outside. Are you really going to drive her back?"


    "Don''t worry about it." Li Fu glared at her, not looking angry. After eating a bun, he said, "I know it in my heart."


    Just leave it alone, Li Qinghe talked about other things, "I plan to move. On the fifth day of next month, I will move to a new house there, and then I will live there." She glanced outside when she thought of something. , "If you want, you can go to stay for a while."


    Li Fun said, "It''s good, live your life, don''t worry about your mother and me, you don''t have to worry about me, don''t do things like food delivery, beware that Chengkang is upset."


    does not exist.


    But there was no need to explain. After he had finished eating, Li Qinghe put away his bowl and chopsticks and went out without looking at Qian squatting at the door.


    She didn''t believe that Li Fu didn''t cook or eat. She was embarrassed to do it by herself. Didn''t she just want Li Fu to relax? Now that people are full, she doesn''t need to cook, so she just squatted there hungry.


    On the fifth day of October, Zhou Chengkang and his wife were happy to move. Now that they have already told the public, they have to prepare. This time is different from the time when we got married. In that time, Zhou''s mother was the leader. This time, she could help, but with those words, Li Qinghe didn''t want to look for her in everything, and she couldn''t set a precedent for everything. Zhou''s mother is already 40 this year. Many, after several decades of hard work, I have raised a few children, and I can rest whenever I can.


    The two of them were busy preparing, and spent most of their time at the new house. When they came back that day and was cooking, Zhou Mu went into the kitchen to help Li Qinghe set the fire.


    "Qinghe, the fifth sister is only fifteen during the Chinese New Year. I want to find her a family relationship."


    Li Qinghe was a little surprised and felt a little too sudden, "It¡¯s important to talk about relatives, let¡¯s take it slow. Wumei is shy, and she doesn¡¯t like to talk when she is wronged. It is easy to suffer. You have to find a simpler person. He is an only child."


    She came up with a series of words, Zhou''s mother listened, her expression softened, "I came to say that there is an only son."


    Li Qinghe suddenly, like Wumei, who has a few older brothers in front of him, some people will especially come to marry a girl like this. Firstly, there are more brothers to help. Secondly, some people think that Zhou''s mother can have a son like this. Maybe Wumei also has it.


    For the Zhuang family, the son is very important. Like Li Fu, he doesn''t care about it. It''s all because he only has the Qian family in his heart. Otherwise, just like Li Qingmiao''s home, it is normal to leave incense.


    "Mother figure it out," Li Qinghe paused, and then said, "Fifth Sister wants to see it herself, after all, it''s her who lives."


    Wumei just walked to the door, blushed when she heard that, and walked out.


    The meal was ready and Zhou Mu was invited to eat together, but she refused. She and Zhou Chengkang sat down for dinner, and then he packed up the dishes and washed them.


    Li Qinghe turned around to get her clothes to sew up, and she saw Wumei holding the soles of her shoes, standing stiffly at the door of her room. Wumei usually talks really little, a very shy girl who has been in the door for so long and hasn''t seen her talk to anyone.


    "Sister Wu, come in and talk." Li Qinghe greeted her to enter the door, "What are you doing standing at the door?"


    The fifth sister smiled shyly and sat across from her, "Sister-in-law, if you can''t get the soles of your shoes, I can help you."


    "Okay." Li Qinghe responded, anyway, waiting for her to marry in the future, just add more dowry to her.


    The room was quiet. Zhou Chengkang came back after washing the dishes, and saw his sister and daughter-in-law sitting opposite each other, as if they had something to say, but did not enter the door, and turned to the pond.


    Li Qinghe took a peek at her several times, and when she saw that she wanted to speak but stopped but couldn''t tell, she simply asked, "Sister Wu is looking for something to do with me?"


    "Yes..." Wu Mei lowered her head, "Today I heard my mother tell you about my marriage. I think..."


    "How?" Li Qinghe asked patiently.


    "I know a person, he is very good, I want to marry him, it is him..." Wumei bit her lip, "he is too poor."


    Li Qinghe was dumbfounded, these five sisters were at home most of the time, and she didn''t see anything unusual about her, so she couldn''t help asking, "Who is it?"


    Seeing her biting her lip and not speaking, Li Qinghe whispered, "You told me, I will ask my mother, what if she agrees?"


    Wumei lowered her head, her voice was weak, "It''s Zhao Dashan."


    Her voice was small, and Li Qinghe could still hear her clearly, and her complexion suddenly became complicated.


    This Zhao Dashan was also from Wang Village, but the villagers said that he had a hard life. It is said that when his mother gave birth to him, he was not angry when he was born. Before long, his father fell down the mountain and disappeared on the spot. Fortunately, he had an uncle. This uncle had just got married at that time and he had no children yet. He saw that his eldest brother and sister-in-law were gone, so he took the child over. Not long after he took it, Zhao Dashan¡¯s aunt was pregnant. When giving birth to a child, a daughter was born and died.


    After that, his uncle took his nephew and daughter to live, and never remarried. When Zhao Dashan was 11 years old, when his cousin was 9 years old, his uncle also passed away. Everyone in the village said that the reason why his parents and aunts died was because of him. That was his cousin, who was fifteen years old, and was still sick. People will be gone sometime.


    Don''t look at Zhao Dashan at seventeen this year, but there is no one to help him get married.


    It stands to reason that his father and uncle''s land and house were given to him, so life shouldn''t be sad, but his cousin got sick twice in three days, all the land was sold, and the house...the house was also sold.


    It was the house he sold, and then the Yang family in town moved over. Zhao Dashan sells his own house, which is next door to Xu''s house.


    Now even the house is gone. He and his cousin live in his uncle¡¯s house, and usually rely on going up the mountain to chop wood for the town¡¯s restaurants and wealthy people to make a living. outrageous.


    For such a person, Li Qinghe just wanted to perfect the five sisters, and he didn''t dare to mention it in front of Zhou''s mother. How could this be a dear, this was an enmity with the five sisters!


    Seeing that there was only one **** top of her head in front of her, Li Qinghe organized her language in her heart and coughed slightly, "Fifth Sister, how do you know each other? Why do you want to marry him? This marriage...I''m afraid she won''t agree. "


    Hearing that, Wumei¡¯s shoulders are drooping, and her hand holding the soles slows down, ¡°Once I went up the mountain to chop wood, he helped me carry it back. I think... he is very powerful, carrying a bundle of wood lightly. , I have looked back several times to see if I have kept up. It is very considerate. A person like him should be able to carry a family. My mother is too bitter."


    It seems that Zhou''s father''s departure early has dealt a great blow to the fifth sister and directly affected her choice of marriage. Li Qinghe asked dumbly, "So, he doesn''t know that you want to marry, right?"


    Wumei stopped talking.


    Li Qinghe turned his mind twice and asked, "Do you want someone who can stand up to your family, or do you have to?"


    "I don''t know." After a long while, Wu Mei''s thin voice remembered again, "As long as I think of marrying, all I think of is him."


    The author has something to say: Gao Liang: Today is gone, see you at noon tomorrow~

 Chapter 52： county seat

    This is really impossible to persuade.


    Li Qinghe thought for a while and suggested, "If I change someone, I can still mention it to my mother, but this is definitely not possible now, or I will help you tell my mother that this marriage will be put aside later?" Put it aside, maybe she doesn''t think about it.


    Sister Wu nodded, "Thank you Sister-in-law, I wouldn''t dare to say it if it wasn''t for you."


    Li Qinghe felt that it was necessary for her to correct the girl''s thoughts and said with a serious face, "Fifth sister, in fact, it is not as simple as marrying whoever is reliable. You have to look at the abilities of others, at least you can afford it. You, for example, if you are sick, he has to pay a doctor and he can afford medicine, if he is pregnant, he can afford eggs and meat... Also, the people in this family are also very important. There should not be too many people. , There can be no one who does not know self-knowledge..."


    This is too much to say, Wu Mei listened, and gradually laughed, "Sister-in-law, according to you, I''m afraid I can''t get married."


    Seeing her smile, Li Qinghe relaxed slightly, "You are willing to retreat for him, and you have to feel worth it. It''s not good to say that, and your fourth brother is the same. In terms of relatives, he is not the last good candidate, but I am willing, and he is worth it."


    Zhou Chengkang heard this when he walked to the door, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became gentle.


    Hearing the movement, the fifth sister turned around and saw her brother came back. She stood up hurriedly, "I have to go back, Sister-in-law, tomorrow I will ask you for the size, and I will help you take this pair after finishing."


    When the fifth sister was gone, Zhou Chengkang walked in, reached out and hugged her into his arms, "I''ll talk about what I just said, I want to hear."


    The laughter of the couple came out across the door, and the fifth sister who had not yet gone far turned her head, thoughtful


    In fact, the most important thing is to be happy.


    Earlier, Li Qinghe said that he was going to the county town. It¡¯s not a lie. The few restaurants in the town don¡¯t use a lot of fish. They haven¡¯t used half of them in the past few months. After the fish in the pond has grown, the last period of time It is not cost-effective to raise, because the fish are eaten as food, but the fish do not grow very much.


    The two of them found time, fished for a day, and left the village in the middle of the night. Without telling anyone, they went straight to the county seat.


    Li Qinghe has never been to the county town in his two lifetimes, but Zhou Chengkang has been there several times. It takes a day and a night to drive a carriage.


    There is an official road from the town to the county seat, and no one has heard of robbery nearby. However, the two dared not stop along the way, the fish would die if they were bored for too long, and they brought dry food. After a day and night, when they arrived at the county seat, it was still dark and the gate was not open, but many people were blocked at the gate. Most of them were vegetable farmers who went in after dawn to sell vegetables.


    The carriage lined up, Li Qinghe was bored with the fish and opened the curtain. Curious people will see several barrels of fish in the car with a glance, and someone immediately asked, "How can this fish be sold?"


    "Eighteen liters per catty." Li Qinghe thought that the delivery restaurant in town had twelve liters. How could it be more expensive after transporting so far.


    Hearing the price, the man''s eyes lit up, his body squeezed forward, and he said, "I choose one."


    Not only him, but many people around him want to buy it.


    The two of them were a little stunned. They never expected that the business would begin before they entered the city.


    When the vegetable growers surrounding the two of them dispersed, the fish in the carriage was 30% less. Li Qinghe lowered his voice, "Aren''t we both selling too cheaply?"


    Zhou Chengkang shook his head, "I don''t know, I went to the pond to help feed the fish, which is closer to half the distance than us. I just helped feed for a few days and I don''t know their selling price."


    It should be that the fish seller in Liujia Village bought it there too, not as far as the county seat. If it is really taken in the county seat, it should be more expensive.


    When they were selling fish, the two of them inquired about the place where the fish was sold. She was an enthusiastic aunt and said that she was leading the way.


    Since she wanted someone to lead the way, Li Qinghe simply let her get on the carriage.


    Auntie is a talkative, "You fish, it''s cheaper than in the city, and one catty is less than two cents. If it''s not too bad, I will buy one too."


    Li Qinghe smiled, "You helped us, and when we got there in a while, I would sell you one for 15 articles."


    Hearing this, the auntie was overjoyed, "Speaking counts?"


    Li Qinghe looked generous and waved, "Absolutely count."


    The auntie was immediately happier. She told them about several places in the city where fish can be sold, including which ones are lively, and how much stalls they charge for. After arriving at the place, she picked the one that she thought was the biggest, and she was very happy. Xing''s gone.


    The county town was really lively, and their fish was sold out before morning.


    After the fish was sold out, the two of them found a restaurant and sat there. Li Qinghe looked at the crowd outside and laughed and said in a low voice, "After our fish grow up, we can send them here. It''s farther away. But it sells fast."


    There is another reason. The uncle who sells fish in the town, if they sell fish, it will inevitably affect his business. You must know that he is the only family. The last time the two of them sold fish, his eyes were uncomfortable. . Li Qinghe also understood that because of this, the two did not go to the stalls anymore, but sent them to the restaurant. In fact, it also affected him. The restaurants used to take the fish from him.


    The place is not big, but there is such a drawback. This time they came here to test the waters.


    The two waited to finish their meal, and then went shopping. The county¡¯s streets were wide and there were all kinds of carriages and carts on the road. The clothes were also patched, but there were also wealthy people wearing silk and satin with entourage.


    The two went to the cloth shop. Li Qinghe bought some fabrics and brought Yu Yan with some exquisite embroidery threads. They couldn''t help but bought some nice dishes. The two moved to a new house and they had to prepare these.


    Compared to the town, the price here is not cheap, or even faintly more expensive, but there are more choices, such as fabrics, there are always hundreds of kinds, and in the town, only those few can be selected.


    It was all here, and the two of them went back in no hurry. They stayed in the inn near the gate of the city, planning to stay for one night and go back in the daytime.


    The two of them stayed with the fish for the past two days. They only felt the fishy smell on their bodies. Zhou Chengkang gave silver to let the guy prepare some hot water in.


    The one who brought water in was a young woman. Li Qinghe turned her head inadvertently. He was very familiar with his back, and was suddenly surprised, "Wan Wan?"


    It was indeed Zhao Wanwan, dressed in a dark coarse cloth, carrying a bucket of water into the tub. Upon hearing the sound, the bucket in her hand slipped and fell directly into the tub. She hurriedly carried it out.


    Li Qinghe stepped forward to help, took the veil and wiped her face with water, "Why are you here?"


    Zhao Wanwan saw her, looked up and down, stepped back, "I''m working here. Why did my sister come?"


    "I''ll sell fish." Li Qinghe pointed at her sleeves when she saw her wet sleeves.


    Zhao Wanwan put down the bucket and was busy with it.


    This girl is also a bitter. Seeing that she knows that her life is not good, Li Qinghe sighed and asked, "I heard that your father is here. Did you find you?"


    "My dad? No." Zhao Wanwan looked blank, "I have never seen him."


    The two sisters stood, speechless for a while, Li Qinghe couldn''t help but asked, "What''s the matter with you? Didn''t you mean you have a bad reputation for brother-in-law here?"


    Zhao Wanwan lowered her head and looked at the ground, "I live in an inn and don¡¯t know him. I don¡¯t usually go out. Not many people in this county know us, and even fewer people know our relationship. Later... No one will know about it in the future."


    Li Qinghe couldn''t persuade her husband and wife. Zhao Wanwan worked here, and no one forced her to work. She was willing. After a long while, I had to say, "I will go home tomorrow. If you want to go home, I can take you by the way."


    "Don''t go back." Zhao Wanwan shook her head, "I have something to do, and I will be scolded if the water is delivered late." She said, she turned and went out.


    Li Qinghe yelled a few times, but she didn''t even hear her. She looked at her disappearing outside before turning around and entering the door.


    Later, it was a woman who came in to collect the water. Li Qinghe asked her about the person who gave the water. The woman sighed, "That girl is a bitter girl, her parents are gone, and her husband is gone. It''s too miserable."


    Li Qinghe: "..." Qian is still at home, and he is angry with Li Fu. Zhao Tianfu said to come to her, even if he didn''t come, he would be fine. Li Fu, the stepfather, shouldn''t he eat it too?


    Unexpectedly, this girl would actually lie, and she opened her mouth and made up a poor life experience for herself.


    If she didn''t know the inside story, it would depend on the pity of the mother-in-law, she couldn''t help but tears of sympathy.


    Early the next morning, the two refunded their deposits. When they were preparing to leave behind the carriage, Zhao Wanwan came out from nowhere, "Sister, please tell my mother, I''m pretty good here, let her not worry , I¡¯ll be better in the future, and respect her well.¡± As he said, he also handed over a baggage, ¡°This is the clothes I made for her.¡±


    Li Qinghe took it, and when he raised his eyes, he couldn''t see anyone again. There were several corridors in this inn, and it was impossible to tell where she went.


    The two set up a carriage and left the inn, and without delay on the way, they headed to the gate of the city.


    When I came, the carriage was full of barrels. When I returned, the barrels were piled up, and a carriage filled with cloth, dishes, mess, and even snacks from the county.


    When they returned, the two of them were not in a hurry, and the carriage was sluggish, and in the afternoon, the carriage stopped suddenly.


    Li Qinghe stuck his head out, "What''s the matter?"


    Zhou Chengkang pointed his finger, "There is a puppy on the road ahead."


    Needless to say, Li Qinghe had already seen it. On the official road, near the side of the road, a dark yellow puppy was whining, and there seemed to be blood on his hind legs.


    Li Qinghe straightened up and saw that it seemed okay except for a leg injury. He smiled and suggested, "You didn''t mean to raise a dog. If you meet on the road, it is also considered predestined. Why don''t you take it back?"


    With that said, people have jumped out of the carriage and rushed to see the "destined" dog.


    Zhou Chengkang was stunned for a moment. After reacting, he smiled and shook his head, jumped out of the carriage, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to help?"


    The puppy''s hind leg was injured, and the leg bones were unnaturally bent. I don''t know if it was beaten or pressed by a carriage.


    Li Qinghe picked it up, and the two got into the carriage again, "We can''t get bones together. We need a doctor to treat this, right?"


    Zhou Chengkang nodded, and the puppy was thrown here. He could see the village faintly in front of him. He looked at the sky, "Why don''t we go to the village to see if there is a doctor who is good at bones?"


    The two of them were in the wilderness that night, and they could still hear the wolf howling, and they didn''t dare to sleep well. It would be best if they could stay overnight.


    The author has something to say: see you at 11 tonight.

 Chapter 53： New house

    The journey went smoothly. There are usually many people in that village, and many of them have specially prepared houses for passers-by, which can also have hot water and can help feed horses, but they have not found a doctor.


    They picked a clean house and asked about the doctor.


    There is a doctor in the village, but unfortunately he does not treat the dog. He is afraid that the dog¡¯s bones will be bound and broken. Then he will be really lame. The advice he gave is not to touch or treat. It''s good.


    The two returned from the doctor''s house to the home where they were staying. Zhou Chengkang touched his leg, "Why... I help him pick it up?"


    Li Qinghe looked at him suspiciously, "Will you take a bone?"


    "I learned a little bit." Zhou Chengkang smiled and asked the master to prepare the plank, and continued, "Uncle Tiger taught me earlier, only the simplest ones. But it''s better than just letting it go, right?"


    After half an hour, the puppy''s legs have been tied, and the two of them have spent a long time, and they still feel a sense of accomplishment.


    When the two arrived home in the afternoon the next day, not only did they pull a carriage, but Li Qinghe also hugged an injured puppy.


    When the two came back, everyone knew that they ran to the county seat without saying a word, and returned quite smoothly.


    Seeing the material Li Qinghe brought back, many people asked for the price. Originally, a horse was worth eight dollars, but in the end many people wanted to pull a little bit. The first person asked was the third aunt. She was not good at selling it. She refused, until the end of the sale, only the last thing was left. She actually sold one or two dollars of silver. She really didn''t expect that this would still make money. She knew she would bring more.


    The Zhou family was busy for a long time. After the two of them washed and rushed for a few days, they finally could sleep peacefully.


    The next morning, the two of them still got up late. These days, the pond in the house had been asked by Li Fu to feed them. It was not that she didn¡¯t want to find Zhou¡¯s mother, but she had never fed, but Li Fu had met them. Hey, tell him how much he needs to feed.


    After breakfast, Li Qinghe picked up the baggage Zhao Wanwan asked her to bring and went to Li''s house. At that time, I saw Qian was washing clothes in the yard, but Li Fu didn''t see anyone, but the main door was open and he should be in the house.


    When Qian saw her, he didn''t say hello, his eyes didn''t come over, it seemed that he was really angry with her.


    Li Qinghe put the baggage in front of her, Qian continued to wash clothes, "No."


    The two words are simple and neat.


    Li Qinghe smiled angrily, "Don''t you think I am buying things to apologize for you?"


    Qian snorted slightly, disdainfully.


    "Really not?" Li Qinghe asked again.


    "No." Qian''s clothes were wrung out and put to the side to dry. Li Qinghe reached out and picked it up without hurriedly saying, "Since I don''t want it, I can use it as firewood."


    She carried her baggage to the kitchen and said loudly, "It''s a pity that she brought me back so far, so I don''t want it!"


    In the next instant, Qian''s wind blew in and snatched it over, "You said it earlier!"


    Is it my fault?


    Li Qinghe smiled angrily, "Give it back to me, I won''t take this burden, and I will send it back to her when I go again next year!"


    "Who knows if you want to be ignorant of yourself." Qian was not polite.


    It''s really messy, how does Li Fu feel that the Qian family is good everywhere, and the Xu family has to deal with her? Apart from being better than her peers, how is she different from others? To say good-looking, the original Xu family was not bad for her. Even these years, Xu family has been pampered and treated well, and she has long been better than Qian family.


    When the two talked, Li Fu, who heard the movement, came out, and Li Qinghe didn''t bother to talk to her and give him the refreshments he brought.


    Li Fu took it and saw that it was a snack. He was very happy, "You can eat it yourself, what can you give me?"


    "I didn''t buy much, not in the town, you can try it." Qian still didn''t go home. At this moment, he quietly glanced at her, Li Qinghe didn''t want to stay anymore, so he got up and went home.


    In the following days, most of their thoughts were placed on the new house, just waiting for the housewarming on the fifth day of October.


    As the two were about to move, the atmosphere at home seemed a little wrong, but both of them were busy there and didn''t put much thought at home.


    This housewarming is different from other happy events. Those can be helped the day before, but for the housewarming, fire will be fired on the chosen day. Therefore, those who helped the day before need to go back to Zhou''s house for dinner.


    This time there are so many people eating. Relatively, cooking also needs help. It¡¯s surprising. Not only the sister-in-law Mei, but also Zhang Haiyao, also came in to help out with a belly, and they didn¡¯t feel irritable when talking to Li Qinghe. Strange.


    Everyone in the family helped. The fourth day of the fourth day went smoothly. By the fifth day of the day, Li Qinghe started to pack things early in the morning. Just because there are so many people today, he helped to move furniture and other things. Earlier Zhou''s mother told them in private that all the furniture in this house should be taken away if it is better, so that no one would think about it.


    Li Qinghe¡¯s house was originally a newly built house. Except for a bed, all the furniture in it was from her dowry. If the good furniture were removed, the house would be empty.


    Basically, people who are familiar and close are very happy to help with the move. If there are more people who help, they all move in one trip, and then they respect the kitchen god, light the fire, and start cooking.


    The dishes are also good. Li Qinghe kept fish specially, one on each table, and Mei''s tofu. She also bought a plate of vegetables. The vegetables were planted long ago after she set a date, and the meat was bought. It¡¯s fresh, this banquet is in the village, and it can¡¯t be said to be bad. A fish per table is considered a big deal, and it can be regarded as a fun for the host and the host.


    Moving house is very lively, just like doing other happy events, even people who are a little bit discordant will not pick up trouble today. It was Qian, who passed by her several times and didn''t talk to her. He didn''t have the awkwardness of the previous days, and he wanted to talk a few times, and seemed to have something to say.


    Many people also praised the two of them for the good house, especially the courtyard wall, even Zhou Mu. They also got a lot of nice words, praised her son and daughter-in-law for their greatness, if they wish, they can also move to the new house. Come live.


    After the excitement, everyone dispersed. Zhou Mu and Wumei stayed to help clean the yard. After Mei''s helped make the tofu that Li Qinghe wanted to use, they didn''t do business, and took a day off. While helping to clean the yard, even Mrs. Liu was there, Zhang Haiyao held up her belly and swept the floor with a broom like Li Qingmiao.


    The two women helped out, secretly showing signs of breaking each other, and glared at each other secretly from time to time.


    However, there was no quarrel. There were many people helping. The inside and outside of the house, including the yard, were quickly cleaned up. Before dark, Li Qinghe warmed up the rest of the food and left the Zhou family for dinner.


    After dinner, Zhou''s mother left with the family. Li Qinghe and Zhou Chengkang stood at the door, watching them go further and further. At this moment, they were left in the yard. Li Qinghe smiled, looked at the people around him, and said, "Congratulations on the housewarming on Thursday."


    Zhou Chengkang was happy when he heard the words, and he seemed to hand over, "Congratulations to Mrs. Zhou on the move."


    The two looked alike, laughed and entered the door holding hands.


    On the first night in the new house, I didn''t know whether it was excited or recognizing the bed. Anyway, the two tossed and fell asleep in the middle of the night.


    The next morning, when Li Qinghe woke up, his side was already cold. When he sat up, he saw the figure of Zhou Chengkang in the yard cleaning outside the kitchen. After putting the broom in, he knocked on the door and said, "Madam, you can eat now?"


    Li Qinghe leaned on the pillow and chuckled, "What if I don''t eat now?"


    "If you don''t eat, you won''t be hungry. When you are hungry, the villain will warm you up again." Zhou Chengkang smiled and pushed the door into the house, squatting in front of the bed, "What''s your order?"


    "It''s still a villain," Li Qinghe poked his forehead and said with a smile, "This big one, where is the young one? No instructions, you go out first."


    Zhou Chengkang squeezed her bad finger on her forehead and kissed it, then picked up the clothes on the side, "Is it right to dress? The villain can do it for you."


    "It''s not over, right?" Li Qinghe sat up, "Do you want me to take you to a big show?"


    Zhou Chengkang lay on the bed, buried his head under the quilt, and laughed out loud. It took a long time to raise his head and hold her hand. There were tears in the corners of his eyes. He seemed to be smiling. He looked very serious, "Qing He, last night After you fell asleep, I didn''t fall asleep all night and felt like a dream."


    Li Qinghe''s heart was slightly sour and sweet. He touched his stubble chin with a serious expression, "Not a dream!"


    Zhou Chengkang stayed up all night and was full of energy. After the two had eaten, he ran out of the yard to feed the fish and the chicken on the right. After he came back, he started to make a dog house for Rhubarb.


    There were a lot of wooden boards left in the house he had built earlier, so he brought some and started to do it. Li Qinghe and a little rhubarb were squatting on the side.


    Two people and one dog are extremely harmonious, lining the green hills behind the house and the pond in front of the house like a picture scroll.


    A woman leaning on her waist came to the side of the scroll, walking cautiously, Li Qinghe''s door was not closed, and she looked up and saw Zhang Haiyao coming from far here. After this move, they are far away. Similarly, it is not easy for them to find Li Qinghe anymore.


    Zhang Haiyao stood at the door, watching Zhou Chengkang bang bang bang bang, and asked curiously, "Brother and sister, what are you doing?"


    "Be a dog house." Li Qinghe stood up, her legs were sore. She knocked her legs and asked, "Why did Sansao come?" With such a big belly, she was not afraid of falling on the road.


    Zhang Haiyao stepped through the door, "I have something to discuss with you." Seeing Li Qinghe''s suspicion when she raised her eyes, she said sternly, "It''s a business."

 Chapter 54： silver

    Seeing that she didn''t look like a joke, Li Qinghe let her in. In fact, although the two of them were busy moving houses and preparing banquets recently, they also vaguely knew something was going on at home.


    After entering the door, she didn''t take her into the house, only pointed her finger at the stool on the edge of the yard, motioned for her to sit down, and squatted down again to watch Zhou Chengkang''s actions, "Just tell me something."


    Zhang Haiyao didn''t go to sit, and stood aside, watching Zhou Chengkang''s movements, and couldn''t help but said, "What do you do with that effort? That dog can be raised under the eaves or in the wood house. So are you. You want to raise dogs everywhere. Yes, why have a wounded one?"


    Zhou Chengkang said casually, "I will raise it when I just met. Anyway, I don''t want to go out, so I can find some things to mix time."


    Since she didn''t say anything, the two of them didn''t ask any more, Li Qinghe helped hand over the wooden planks, making a dog house very seriously.


    They didn''t ask, Zhang Haiyao walked around in the yard and praised, "This house is really spacious. The one in my town is bigger than this, but it''s too far and inconvenient."


    It seemed that she could go home and live if she was close, but Li Qinghe didn''t look up at all, so he heard it.


    "You probably won''t go back to the old house, right?" She asked again, her tone hesitant and tentative.


    Hearing this question, Li Qinghe instantly understood what Mei and her were doing recently.


    Zhang Haiyao is a straight child, or she is too lazy to hide her thoughts in front of Zhou''s family. It is the same now, she reached out and touched her belly, "My belly has been six months, and I should have a baby after the Chinese New Year. There will be no place to live when the child is born."


    This is the house that wants to belong to their Zhou family, Li Qinghe patiently waited for her to continue, and did not ask.


    Zhang Haiyao didn''t need her to ask, and continued, "Anyway, your old house doesn''t live there, so it''s better to lend it to us... it''s OK if you rent it to me. I will pay some rent."


    The last sentence is quite plausible.


    Borrowing this kind of thing, it is natural to borrow when feelings are reached. But the relationship between Zhou Chengkang and his eldest brother and third brother was really cold, and the two lent Li Qingmiao were about the same. But the feeling is not enough, I would rather let it go. Moreover, both of them want to give to whom or not to offend others?


    Li Qinghe would not do this kind of thankless things, so it is impossible to borrow.


    "I''m not telling you, the sister-in-law in the house also wants it. She wants to live with Aunt Liu." Zhang Haiyao supported her waist, "The price can be discussed, you can consider it."


    Li Qinghe came to be interested, "How much do you plan to give me a year?"


    Zhang Haiyao stretched out a hand, "Five coins."


    Li Qinghe was speechless, and Zhang Haiyao was silent when she saw her, "Five coins are a lot of money, I know you don''t need it, but your house is also kept. How many years can the unoccupied house be kept? You think about it."


    Also, five silver coins, when Li Qinghe used to be a helper in this town, he got two and a half months'' wages.


    With a plan in mind, Li Qinghe nodded, "Okay, you have given the money. I will write a contract and rent it for one year."


    Zhang Haiyao frowned, "Can I live there and then pay it? Besides, I don''t need it now, until the end of the year..."


    This means I want Li Qinghe to keep the house for her, but she won''t pay rent when she doesn''t live in.


    Still very thoughtful.


    "That won''t work." Li Qinghe shook his head, "If the sister-in-law comes later, I believe she is still willing to pay the rent."


    It wasn''t that Li Qinghe was short of this silver. After the rent was taken, it would be good to honor Zhou''s mother. It was originally a house built by Zhou''s silver.


    Otherwise, if you want Zhang Haiyao to take the silver, you will have to wait until the year of the monkey. She can remember that Zhou''s mother wanted to pay her debt of two taels of silver.


    Li Qinghe looked indifferent, as if it didn''t matter whether the house was rented or not, Zhang Haiyao gritted her teeth with anger, "Okay!"


    Then she went back, and in the afternoon, Zhou Laosan called the village chief and wrote the deed in front of the village chief, paying five dollars a year before living.


    The deed was being written here, and the Mei family came outside. Seeing this situation, he was immediately anxious, "Zhang Haiyao, you are not kind."


    Zhang Haiyao smiled and put away the deed. She deliberately got up early, just to make things happen before Mei''s return. At this time, the contract book was in hand, and she was in a good mood, "Sister-in-law, if you let you spend five dollars to live for a year, you may be reluctant. Besides, you have a kitchen. After I rented the house, the kitchen is my mother and me. For family use, if you rent it, this kitchen won''t let me take advantage of it for nothing?"


    Mei was anxious. She didn''t plan to rent it. She just wanted to borrow it from Li Qinghe with emotion. She rushed over after selling the tofu, but it was still too late. After hearing that she had spent money, she didn''t think so. Lost. It''s just that this room is occupied by the third room, which is a bit uncomfortable.


    Mei turned away with anger. Zhang Haiyao and Zhou Laosan also took the village chief and left, and they closed the door. Li Qinghe squeezed the silver in his hand and smiled, "You send it to my mother."


    Zhou Chengkang was a little surprised, "To my mother?"


    "How about it?" Li Qinghe asked back.


    Zhou Chengkang took the silver, and Li Qinghe over there was willing to give Zhou''s mother, in fact, it was because it was his mother, but after all, it was for him. I was moved, "Qinghe, you are so kind."


    This dog house was delayed because of the delay in the middle, it was already noon when it was ready, the rhubarb is still small now, and it is still empty when it enters, it is October, it is late autumn, the day is fine, the night is very cold, Li Qinghe is looking for I shopped some old clothes for him, and I found a bowl to make a dog bowl for him. Rhubarb settled at the door.


    Zhou Chengkang finished the dog house and was quite satisfied, and then asked Rhubarb, "Take care of the house!"


    Li Qinghe couldn''t help but laugh while watching. The two went to feed the fish together, and then went there to watch the chicken.


    The 70 or 80 chickens that the two bought at the time died more than 20 when they were young. The remaining 50, half of the roosters, grew up in almost a year.


    Some hens do not lay eggs and have different calls and want to hatch.


    Now there are more than 100 eggs in the family. There are many women in the village who will pick breeding eggs. Li Qinghe is not very good at picking eggs. As far as she knows, the third aunt next to Li''s house will pick them. She even invited them.


    When I went there, Yu Yan was looking at the sky in the yard. To be precise, she came out to rest her eyes after embroidering for a long time. She just happened to meet her. He heard that she was picking breeding eggs, so she came along with great interest.


    In the end, more than 60 of them were picked out. Li Qinghe stood by and learned, and divided the eggs among the five hens to hatch. The rest of the eggs could only be kept for their own consumption, and of course they could be sold.


    Li Qinghe also picked a few for her third aunt. This was the second day after she moved. Everyone who came would inevitably talk about the new house. The third aunt was no exception. He smiled, "This house is pretty good, remember When you were young and thin and small, you cried and chased for a while when your mother left. In the end, I took it back. At that time, I didn¡¯t expect you to be such a promising child. Poor..."


    "Those things are over, and they will get better and better in the future." The third aunt smiled and talked about hatching eggs. "This chicken didn''t need to be fed before, but when hatching, you have to put the food here and use water Put a bowl and don¡¯t let it go for too long, otherwise the egg should be destroyed. That would be a shame."


    Li Qinghe noted down one by one, it was getting late and sent them out.


    The third aunt sighed along the way, "I''m relieved if Yaner can find a reliable marriage."


    Yu Yan pretended not to hear this, and asked, "Are you going to town these days? The weather is getting colder and colder, I want to get some embroidery back, and the embroidery thread you brought back. I embroidered it. A few handkerchiefs, I want to ask for the price. If you go, remember to pick me up."


    This girl comes from a big place, and some habits are always different from those in the village. For example, when she goes to town, people who don¡¯t have a carriage or a cart will want to walk, and a small number of people will use a copper plate to take a ride, but Yu Yan can never walk. .


    Li Qinghe thought for a while and said, "In a few days, I will come to see you."


    They have been busy these few days, and a lot of dirty clothes have not been washed. Today¡¯s time has passed. Why do you have to wash the clothes tomorrow? The weather is getting colder and colder, and it will rain or even snow. Sometimes, the clothes will not dry for many days after washing, a musty smell makes them uncomfortable to wear.


    The next morning, after breakfast, the two of them washed their clothes. It is worth mentioning that there is no well in the yard of the new house. Instead, a stream is drawn from the spring water source to the corner of the yard, where bluestone slabs are used. There is a small square well from which all the water used in daily life is taken, and the excess will go out of the courtyard wall and flow into the fish pond.


    After the clothes were washed, the two went up the mountain again. They didn¡¯t want to cut wood, but the wasteland. The few acres of wasteland that were opened up were not good this year. Li Qinghe wanted to dig some mulch in the forest and come back together this year. Sprinkle the chicken manure in, and the harvest should be better next year.


    The two of them had been busy for half a month, and finally put a layer of mulch on the wasteland. In late October, it rained heavily for several days.


    Li Qinghe went to see the hen that hatched her eggs every day. After it rained outside, the two couldn''t get out of the house, so they started to burn charcoal.


    To burn charcoal is to ignite a large firewood. After it is burned into pieces of charcoal, it is put into a sealed jar, the flame will be extinguished, and pieces of charcoal are left. This job is best to do when it rains. The fire won¡¯t be cold. By the way, you can bake clothes and bake hay in the pot.


    The hay is roasted to feed chickens and horses, that is, ordinary weeds are cut back and cut. After being roasted and cooked, they can be fed to chickens, horses, and pigs. In fact, people can eat them during famine. It doesn''t taste very good.


    The two of them live here, some distance away from the village. Usually, there are few visitors. They both like such quiet and peaceful days. Of course, Zhou Mu still comes here often. Basically, she will run once every three or two days, even if it rains.


    Hearing the knock on the door and looking at the rain outside, which was smaller than the rain, Li Qinghe knew that Zhou Mu should be here again.


    Zhou Chengkang went out to open the door, and soon came in with a wet mother Zhou. Li Qinghe hurriedly got up and let her sit in front of the fire, "Mother, why are you here in such heavy rain?"


    When Zhou''s mother came in, she scanned the well-organized yard. At this time, she saw the wood burning in the stove, her complexion softened, "It''s okay, I''ll come over and take a look."


    It''s not like coming here to have a look. Li Qinghe smiled and said, "I have steamed the buns, and my mother will come back after dinner later."


    She got up and went to cook. Mother Zhou looked at her, and took out five silver coins for a long while, "You should keep it yourself."


    Li Qinghe was a little surprised. Zhou Chengkang probably took the silver, so why did it return it again?

 Chapter 55： Deceived

    Not only her, Zhou Chengkang was also very surprised, "This money is for you to pay your debts. You will pay it back earlier. People will not rush you, so you are not in a hurry."


    No matter how good the relationship is, it hurts feelings when it gets involved. Zhou Mu''s silver has been owed for more than a year, and people will definitely feel uncomfortable. Sometimes when talking with a gun and a stick, I have to bear it here.


    After a pause, he added, "Qing He also agreed."


    Mother Zhou sighed, "I know. But I can''t collect the silver. You can''t help me with your heart. I''ll point you to help. I have four sons, not just you. If you want to get them, each of them will have to give me."


    The rain was getting heavier outside, Zhou Mu lowered her voice, "Actually, I have already paid off those debts. Don''t worry about me, it''s okay for me to live with Wumei."


    That''s good.


    It''s much better to just make some food to make ends meet without debts. After leaving Zhou¡¯s mother after eating, she took two more buns and brought her back. In this way, Wumei no longer needs to cook.


    Before leaving, Zhou''s mother remembered something, "Sister Wu said that her marriage will be put later, and that you think so too."


    Li Qinghe agreed, "Yes, she''s still young anyway. It''s perfectly fine to negotiate marriage next year."


    Zhou Mu thoughtfully, seeing that the rain outside was lighter, waved her hand and said, "Such a heavy rain, don''t give it away. You are fine, I''m relieved."


    After speaking, he plunged into the rain.


    The rain continued for half a month, and when the winter moon came, there was still snow in it. The winter seems to have come earlier this year, and it is extremely cold. When the two of them finished feeding the fish every day, they took care of the chickens. At the end of October, the chicks gradually came out of their shells. The weather was too cold. Li Qinghe even lighted a brazier for them. Every day, a few hens brought the chicks. Squatting next to the brazier and not going anywhere, there are fewer premature deaths.


    Rhubarb''s leg injury gradually healed, and he was a little lame at first. It seems to be normal these days, which proves that Zhou Chengkang has succeeded in getting his leg. The days of the two of them were calm. After the weather got cold, Zhou Mu didn''t come over.


    In the afternoon of that day, someone knocked on the door again. In the morning, the rain stopped and it was still cold outside. It was Zhou Chengkang who went to open the door. It was surprising that the person brought in was the Qian family.


    Qian''s body was bloated and seemed a little uncomfortable, "Qinghe, I have something to ask you."


    Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows. Needless to say, he knew that he was asking Zhao Wanwan. Having not asked for so long, I thought she could really calm down.


    "You said you saw Wanwan, how is she doing now?" After the words fell, she lowered her head, "I used to be...a bit too much, don''t care about me."


    It''s just getting angry, but as long as she lives with Li Fu, Li Qinghe doesn''t care about it. It is his father who tossed in the end, why bother?


    "I did see her." Li Qinghe said calmly, "I don''t know how she''s doing."


    Qian frowned, "I asked her father to give her money, and he said she was doing well."


    So, Qian believes Zhao Tianfu''s words?


    Li Qinghe was speechless, and said after a long while, "I asked her if she had seen her father, and politely said that since I arrived at Li''s house, I have never seen her father again."


    "Impossible." Qian quickly denied.


    It was cold outside. Li Qinghe was making clothes recently. She picked up the needle and thread again, and said, "It doesn''t matter if you don''t believe it, there is no need to ask me."


    Qian was choked, but I still have to ask. After all, the clothes she brought back were indeed Zhao Wanwan''s stitches. She was specified to have met her, but she didn''t want to believe that Zhao Tianfu actually lied to her. These days, she has always wanted to come over and ask, but dare not come over and ask, what if Wanwan¡¯s days were not what Zhao Tianfu said? "Then you said, where did you run into her? Did you see Yanxi?"


    Li Qinghe didn''t answer, and asked curiously, "What did her father say?"


    Qian bit his lip and whispered, "Say that Xi has no concubine and no one takes care of his daily life. Wanwan helps him with cooking and laundry. When he is free, he goes to the bookstore to help with cleaning, but the money is not enough..."


    This is really too much, Li Qinghe couldn''t help asking, "He won''t even say that he will help you bring money to Wanwan in the future, right?"


    Qian''s silence is a tacit understanding. It took a long time to say, "So you said that you met Wanwan and she helped me make the clothes. I was a little bit skeptical. If she did, why not let her father bring them back to me? I thought about it again, maybe it was Wanwan. Wan didn''t want her father to be with me too often, so that you could help bring it."


    Therefore, Qian''s automatically fills in the unreasonable places.


    She was a little bit depressed. Li Qinghe stopped selling her son. Although Zhao Tianfu cheated the Qians, in the end the money was taken out of Li Fu''s pocket and rounded up. It was her father who cheated. This is unbearable and immediately said, " It was a coincidence that I met Wanwan. We sent the fish to the county town overnight. After we sold out, we found an inn to live in. The fish smelled like fish. I asked the guy to send hot water. The one who sent the hot water..."


    Qian stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, eyes full of surprise, and asked carefully, "Is it Wanwan?"


    Li Qinghe nodded, "At the time she said she was busy and didn''t have time to talk to me. Then I didn''t find her. When we left the next day, she appeared again and asked me to bring you the burden." She paused. , Said, "Also, I didn''t see my brother-in-law, because I once suggested letting her work as a helper in the county seat, where the wages should be higher and she can stay with her brother-in-law. But she didn''t agree, saying that it was detrimental to her brother-in-law''s reputation. When I saw her delivering water, I couldn''t help but ask... She meant that she didn''t live with her brother-in-law, but lived in an inn, saying that no one knew their relationship..."


    Qian was so angry that he squeezed his clothes tightly, and asked eagerly, "So did he take a concubine?"


    Li Qinghe spread his hands, "I can''t ask you that."


    Her sister, who had an unremarkable relationship, asked her brother-in-law if she had a concubine. Maybe people thought she was reading a joke.


    Qian took a few deep breaths, "Thank you." After finishing speaking, he turned to go out, staggered, and stood firmly by the door.


    In the winter months, the weather is getting colder and colder. The chickens have to eat a lot of food every day. Originally, Li Qinghe planned to catch all the roosters and sell them during the Chinese New Year. The man chose the day, kept two good coats, and took all the other roosters to the town to sell.


    Ordinary people don''t buy roosters. She sent them directly to the restaurant, exchanged a couple of dollars, and then bought some food to bring back.


    The fish in the pond were a bit big, so she was not in a hurry, just waiting to fish them out and sell them when the Chinese New Year was about to come.


    In the twelfth lunar month, all the scholars who went to study in the county seat returned, among them were Hu Yanxi and Qian Laiwen, but not Zhao Wanwan.


    At this time, Qian was anxious, and ran to Qian''s house to ask his brother what was going on.


    It doesn''t matter to Li Qinghe whether these scholars will come back, but Li Fu personally came to say that on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Hu Yanxi came back to visit specially and asked them to go back.


    Well, it''s not that he missed his daughter. It was largely because Hu Yanxi came to the door. He had to prepare all the meat and vegetables, and brought his daughter and son-in-law to eat a little. It was his selfishness. Also, there are more people and more lively.


    When the day came, the two went quite late. She thought that if Zhou Chengkang and Li Fu and Hu Yanxi were chatting after they went early, it would not be like that when she left it aside and listened to it. She could only go to the kitchen if she was not in that room Helped.


    But Li Qinghe didn''t want to go to the kitchen to help. When going to the kitchen, he had to be alone with the Qians. The relationship between the two of them was actually not that good.


    Therefore, when the two arrived, it was the lunch point, and the food was ready. Li Fu stood in the yard and looked over here. Seeing the two of them, he quickly opened the door, "Why did you come so late? Yesterday I promised. Okay, I thought you forgot."


    "The chicken is out of its shell." Li Qinghe said casually.


    Li Fu was surprised, "Will you still hatch chicks?"


    "I learned it." Li Qinghe smiled, and saw Qian taking the dishes and chopsticks. Qian also went into the kitchen to help with food. Qian even smiled at her.


    During the meal, Li Fu was very happy. Speaking of this year''s harvest, he asked about Hu Yanxi''s county test next year.


    The county test is taken once a year, and it takes only three years to go up. Hu Yanxi is a scholar, even if he drinks alcohol, he is gentle, "I don''t know, I will have no regrets if I do my best."


    During the period when Li Qinghe entered the kitchen to add food, Zhou Chengkang also went out to breathe, and then Qian also came out, "Chengkang, can you help me ask if Yanxi has a concubine?"


    Zhou Chengkang was a little surprised, but he still responded. Apart from him, no one in this family really had a good chance of talking.


    Qian stood under the eaves outside, pricked his ears to listen.


    Knowing that he had to ask this when he went in, if Li Qinghe was in front of him, she would be embarrassed. She didn''t go in either, and then stood under the eaves.


    Inside, Zhou Chengkang mysteriously lowered his voice and asked, "I heard that my brother-in-law enjoys the blessing of the same people, can this happen?"


    After a long while, there was Hu Yanxi''s voice, "No such thing. Outsiders like to chase after the wind and the shadow of the wind and moon. If you don''t believe it, you can ask uncle."


    Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is impossible to ask money for a communication, because he originally said it.


    Qian''s was obviously relieved. Whether it is true or not, Hu Yanxi dare not admit it, it proves that this has not been put on the surface, and the breath has not been relieved, another person ran outside, "Sister Qian , You go back and have a look, your father fell and won¡¯t be done."


    Qian''s complexion changed drastically, and he ran out, "Why did you fall? Where did you fall? Is it serious? Would you like a doctor..."


    While asking, the two ran away.


    Several people in the room came out, Zhou Chengkang asked in confusion, "Why is it okay for half a year, but my son fell back when he came back?"


    This is what Li Qinghe couldn''t figure out.


    When something like this happened, the food could not be finished, and all the food on Li Fu''s table was confiscated. He locked the door and took them to Qian''s house.


    Similar to the last time Qian Mu was gone, there were many people standing in the yard. The difference is that Yu''s face was solemn at this time, and he was saying something loudly, "He pushed the people I saw with my own eyes."


    "Asshole!" Someone was heartbroken.


    "But what does he picture?" puzzled.


    Some people sighed, "It is better to raise a dog than to raise a child."


    After listening to the surrounding discussion, I realized that Father Qian fell down because Qian Laiwen helped him out, and then pushed him, so that You''s who came to give him a change of clothes saw him with his own eyes.


    "Some things I didn''t say, actually..." Youshi paused, "The last time my mother was gone, when I cleaned up, I found that there were flesh and blood in my mother''s nails, which seemed to scratch people..."

 Chapter 56： Amazed

    As soon as this was said, the courtyard was quiet at first, and then everyone was talking about it. The money came full and their expressions were very ugly, "Why didn''t you say it at the time?"


    This thing can''t stand to think about it, it''s horrible. The old couple in the Qian family are responsive to their sons. Whether it is an adopted son or a married daughter, they can get money and help whenever the son asks, especially for the adopted family, who have scholars in their own family. It has been very difficult for their family over the years. How many quarrels, even the married daughter, in order to get the money to go home, is said to have quarreled.


    Speaking of when the girl got married, they did not hesitate to accept the high betrothal gift against their girl''s mind. All the money he brought was spent on his son. I didn''t expect that the son who was treated like this would actually... kill someone by himself.


    "Sister-in-law, don''t make a fuss about this. Although you wiped your hands at the time, your aunt didn''t have any wounds on her body. If you really did it, how could there be no traces?" A woman about the same age as You said. She wasn''t questioning, she just raised doubts.


    You''s dumb, "How dare I say it at that time? I was too scared to find this. I had nightmares several times in the past half a year... The last time has been more than half a year, then this time, but I saw it with my own eyes, Dad. He hasn''t gotten out of bed for a long time. I bring the food and the clothes and bedding are all my child''s father came to help him change me. Why did he suddenly want to go out? Why can''t he help me when he is out?"


    At this time, the village head came in. He had already listened a lot outside the yard. After entering the door, he asked solemnly, "So you mean, Old Man Qian was killed by your brother deliberately?"


    Youshi dare not admit this, "I dare not say that, but the death of my parents is suspicious."


    Qian first ran into the house and looked at his angered father on the bed. He cried for a while, and then cried out after hearing the discussion outside, "Then why didn''t you tell me? Outsider? Don''t tell me, why don''t you even tell me?"


    Behind her, Qian Laiwen followed out with a face full of chills, "Sister-in-law, I have read the law, and I have to tell evidence in everything, otherwise it is a false accusation and I will go to jail!"


    You''s face turned pale, "I didn''t make a false accusation, I just said that I was suspicious. Since everything is normal, just continue the funeral, but my family really has no money. This funeral..."


    Everyone also remembered that in the funeral of Qian Mu, You''s indeed had the big head, and Li Fu had also made some.


    Qian Laiwen speaks eloquently, "If it weren''t for my parents, the eldest brother would have been sent away. Maybe he would have been killed in the hands of Renya. Now you are not willing to contribute to the funeral of your parents. If your parents knew about it, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯m going to come alive with anger. The relatives and neighbors are there, you¡¯re afraid it¡¯s shameless!"


    These words made You''s face pale. She has two sons. They got married last month when the money came, and they will live in this village for a long time in the future. There is money to come full of carpenters. Give each house some furniture to make a living. If it loses its reputation, he will not be the only carpenter in town. It can directly affect the livelihood of a family.


    "Then I will pay half!" You''s gritted his teeth, "You are the son of the second elder, even if they treat us as parents, two sons, and one elderly person, we are still dedicated enough."


    "I only read books on weekdays. Where can I find the money?" Qian Laiwen frowned. "You gave me money to help my parents with funerals, and it was me who borrowed them."


    Qian wanted to talk, but Li Fu pulled her aside, and she immediately lowered her head.


    Li Fu''s thoughts are also simple. As a son-in-law, he has considered himself devoted enough to the two elders over the years. If he said it was the same as the last time, he would have nothing to do with him. If the second elder does not have a son or his son is not in front of him, it is a different matter, but now that he has adopted parents and children, there is no reason to let him take the big head.


    The atmosphere in the yard was stiff, and relatives and neighbors were not good at expressing their opinions. If it was Qian¡¯s funeral, her family members could still come out and say something, but now it¡¯s Qian¡¯s father, and Qian¡¯s family is not highly respected. elder. In the anxious atmosphere, the village chief coughed, and when he was about to speak, You''s suddenly said, "Let us pay for the money, and the funeral will be ours."


    "Why?" Qian''s communication responded quickly, frowning, "The amount of mourning is everyone''s mind. I will return it in the future. If you take it away, this affair between relatives will be yours. Help me out?"


    In fact, You''s said so much, just because he was dissatisfied that the last funeral was gathered up by Qian''s communication, he quickly went to the county seat and did not stay at all. Instead, an old man with limited mobility was left waiting for them.


    In the past, adoptive parents were there. They were not easy to make trouble. They were asked to contribute money and work. After all, they were kind to themselves, and they were able to contribute. But now that the elderly are no longer there, why should they suffer? She also has a son, and there will be grandchildren in the future. When will the subsidy be calculated?


    Hearing Qian''s communication that he refused to give way to the funeral ceremony, Yu Shi thought of something and blurted out, "You hurt your parents, isn''t it for the funeral ceremony?"


    When the words were spoken, she regretted it, and the reason was too much. How can there be such a frenzied person?


    But inexplicably, the more she thought about it, the more she felt reasonable, and immediately shouted, "I want to report the crime. There is a problem with my father and mother''s death." She turned around and looked at her man, "He killed father and mother!"


    It was a taciturn and honest-looking middle-aged man who was able to take care of Father Qian with mobility issues for so long. He should be very honest. He was surprised when he heard the words, and then looked at the village chief, "The village chief, I want to report to my father. Mother redressed grievances. I didn¡¯t know what happened to my mother last time, but what happened today is indeed what my daughter-in-law saw with her own eyes. I believe she will not panic.¡±


    The funeral of Qian¡¯s family was like a farce. The letter was received at noon. After making a fuss, the mayor sent someone to take Qian¡¯s communication.


    Here the funeral was handled, and You''s still paid the money, but the village chief said that she paid the money, and the funeral ceremony went to their house.


    Hearing that Qian Laiwen was transferred to the county jail, he kept clamoring that he would return to his father to send him to death. When You knew about it, he cursed, "This kind of **** doesn''t dare to let him come back to send him to the end.


    There is only You''s testimony. Under normal circumstances, this case will most likely become an unsolved case. If no evidence is found, the money communication will naturally come out. But two days later, in the flower house on the other side of the county seat, there was a friend with money who wrote to his benefactor. He once bragged to her on the bed when he was drunk and that his mother was buried to death with a pillow.


    With the witnesses again, the magistrate who didn''t take the case seriously opened the court to hear Qian''s communication. After a few boards, he hired everything. Qian Mu, really he held the pillow to death, and Qian Father, before he helped him out, was already covered to death by him.


    I hope that there are very few small thefts in the village on weekdays, and when I hear shocking things happen to me at first, everyone feels incredible at first, and then they are much stricter towards their children.


    Father Qian was buried here, and the verdict on Qian''s communication came down. He was executed immediately, and the body was not allowed to be collected!


    After Father Qian was buried, it was already the fifteenth lunar month. The verdict of Qian''s communication was concluded. After a few days of discussion, everyone was busy preparing for the New Year.


    Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe began to fish and sell them. As the New Year was approaching, the big fairs in the town were very lively. There were only two of them to celebrate the New Year. And Zhou''s mother had already said that when she went to Zhou''s house during the New Year, everyone would go to her main room to eat. Therefore, there is no need to prepare the meat and vegetables for the New Year. She deliberately left a big fish, so she can carry it back on the New Year''s Day.


    The two men fished out the larger fish from the pond and sold them, and they were busy until twenty-nine before they sold out.


    She also sent a fish to Li Fu. Qian was lying on the bed sluggishly. Hearing that Qian¡¯s communication was cut off, she deliberately pestered Li Fu to the county seat. This was her first time. Of course, it was also. The first time I saw the beheading, I didn''t know if I was tired or scared. Anyway, it has not been relieved for nearly half a month.


    The married daughter can''t go back to her natal family for the New Year, and Li Qinghe didn''t plan to spend the New Year at home, so she gave away the fish and left.


    It was the 30th of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye, and the two went to Zhou''s house early in the morning. The two have moved for nearly two months, and they have returned no more than one hand. The atmosphere at home seems to be the same as before. Wumei and Liu Pozi have extremely low sense of existence. Zhang Haiyao and Mei are displeased with each other. Boss Zhou Regardless of whether Zhou Lao San is good or bad, Zhou Mu is still as strict.


    It was said that Zhou¡¯s mother called everyone to go back to eat, but in fact, they couldn¡¯t really eat for nothing. Li Qinghe carried a fish, Zhang Haiyao bought a piece of meat, Mei... She took a piece of tofu, and Zhang Haiyao supported it when she brought it into the kitchen. The tall belly glanced at the tofu, and sneered, "Sister-in-law can live a life now, and my family is still reluctant to eat it. Speaking of which, your family still has the most..."


    Thinking of something, he leaned on his stomach and glanced over Zhou''s mother deliberately or unintentionally, "By next year, there will be three people in my family." After speaking, he laughed.


    Mei also knew that he was at a loss, so he kept his head down and went to help wash the vegetables.


    When quarreling this kind of thing, one slap won''t sound, and Mei''s won''t catch the slap. After Zhang Haiyao said a few words alone, she also felt boring, so she turned to other things.


    Li Qinghe still chopped vegetables, and no one wanted to fry them after the cutting. She fry them personally. After the final product was done, everyone assembled and sat around the table. There was a large table of vegetables, and people sat in a circle.

 Chapter 57： wasteland

    By this time, everyone was actually hungry. Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, I can''t stop swallowing. Li Qinghe has been helping in the restaurant for two years. Sometimes Chef Chen would say a few more words. If he watched every day, he would naturally get fried as he watched more.


    Mother Zhou also prepared wine, and everyone poured a bowl. She didn''t take the chopsticks, and the people below had to endure it if she wanted to eat it.


    She coughed slightly, "Today is a rare occasion for a family to sit together during the Chinese New Year. Before eating, I have a few words to say."


    Everyone looked up and looked at her.


    The brothers and sisters of the Zhou family didn''t say anything, the three new daughter-in-laws who entered the door did not dare to choke with Zhou''s mother. No matter what he thinks in his heart, his face is always serious.


    "I believe you have all heard about the Qian family the other day. I only hope that you don''t grow up like that."


    Everyone looked solemn and said in a hurry, "No."


    Mother Zhou nodded, "I think you have had a good time in the past six months, so after this autumn harvest, each of you will give me 50 catties of grain each year."


    The room was already quiet. After listening to these words, it was so quiet that the needles fell. Zhang Haiyao and Mei looked at each other, and Old Lady Liu had already frowned, "Sister, let me be fair. You are still young and start now. Isn¡¯t it a bit too much to let the child respect..."


    Mother Zhou raised her hand to stop her saying, "This is our Zhou family''s family affairs. They are dissatisfied, and they should say it themselves." It is not your turn to be an outsider.


    Hearing this, Liu Pozi looked ugly, "I thought I was sitting at this table, and you would treat me as a family. I didn''t expect that I couldn''t even say a word. In this case, then I..." She suddenly stood up. Turning around to go out, he was angry at first glance.


    Just as she was about to step out of the threshold, Zhou''s mother said, "You come to my house as a guest, and the boss is the one who provides you with old-age care. Either you are like me and let the boss give you 50 catties of food every year."


    What is enough food for fifty catties?


    Liu Pozi thought that Zhou''s mother had opened her mouth to keep her, and said soft words to her down the steps, but she didn''t expect to be so hard-hearted. I can''t get off the stage, so I have to step out.


    Seeing this, Mei eagerly said, "Mother." He got up and went after him.


    She ran to the door, Zhou Mother said solemnly, "Sister Liu can go, that''s because she is not my Zhou family, if you leave, take her out of my Zhou''s house."


    Boss Zhou hurriedly got up and patted Zhou''s mother on the back, "Mother, don''t be angry for the Chinese New Year."


    Mother Zhou waved his hand away and said solemnly, "I raised you young, should you raise me old? Fifty catties of grain a year is not too much. You give me this trouble, go and go Yes, I thought that if people ran away, can this be avoided? If you follow them to live in the Liu''s house, I will never ask you. Just like the second child, leave your land to me, and the food will not be needed. You handed it in."


    "Hand in." Zhang Haiyao said suddenly, "Mother, we are willing to hand it in. It is right to give you the old age, and she must also be willing to take care of your younger siblings."


    Li Qinghe nodded, "We are willing to hand it over."


    In this way, it seemed that Mei, who was running outside, was particularly stingy. She looked ugly, "Anything that can be discussed for my mother to provide for the elderly? You all agreed, and I have no reason not to. It''s just my mother who... ¡­"


    Po Liu asked for it!


    After a long while, Mother Zhou said, "You give her a copy of the food on this table."


    After this incident, the atmosphere on the dinner table was a bit dull, but fortunately the food was very good, and everyone concentrated on eating.


    Seeing that the food on the table gradually disappeared, Zhou''s mother suddenly said, "It''s not that I want to bully her so mean, but that she stirs up like this, the boss''s life is not easy."


    Mei''s head lowered, Zhou''s mother looked at her, "You have to have your own ideas, and the days are your own. Isn''t the boss inferior to the man you lead?"


    Mei''s face turned red at first, and then gradually paled. The first one, who had been sick and crooked all the time, was lying in bed to die or not. It took a few years before he left. She has served enough. Elder Zhou was kind and kind to her, and gave her all the money she earned. This is a very strange thing in the whole Wangcun. She lowered her head and seemed to be meditating. .


    After a meal, Li Qinghe helped clean up the dishes before going home.


    When the two returned home, it was getting late, and now there were not many fish in the pond, so they went home after being fed. The chicken next door had been fed a long time ago, so I don¡¯t need to worry about it today.


    After Zhou Chengkang entered the door, he lighted the brazier first, and the house gradually warmed up. On the night of the New Year''s Eve, Li Qinghe took out the soles of her shoes, and the person on the opposite side helped her arrange her embroidery thread. It was warm, quiet and peaceful.


    The night outside was getting deeper, so I listened to him asking, "Are you hungry?"


    Not to mention, although there are a lot of dishes today, there are also many people eating. Li Qinghe didn''t eat much. Besides, she was not very hungry at all. Now he asked, he was really hungry.


    Zhou Chengkang smiled and said, "I''ll cook noodles for you."


    "Okay." Li Qinghe put down the needle and thread, "we are together."


    The two went to the kitchen and kneaded the noodles to wake up. During the period, they also fried two small dishes. After half an hour, the two returned to the room with the cooked food and sat down in the warm room.


    Li Qinghe was eating the noodles, looking at the person opposite, in a daze, "That afternoon meal is more like a Chinese New Year, but I think it seems that there is more New Year atmosphere now."


    Hearing this, Zhou Chengkang stretched out and held her hand, "That''s because we are the ones who have been with each other the longest."


    Li Qinghe returned to his senses and said with a smile, "You are right."


    The first year after the two got married, it just passed. On the first day of the first lunar month, the two of them did not get up until noon, and they are going back to their parents'' home today.


    In the afternoon, Li Qinghe went to Li''s house with Zhou Chengkang with the new year gift he had prepared. This year, Qian was lying in bed for the New Year. Li Fu probably had a bad New Year. He didn''t know how to cook. He didn''t know what he ate yesterday.


    When Li Qinghe arrived, Hu Yanxi had arrived, with Zhao Wanwan.


    Li Fu did not know how to cook. The two daughters came back with his son-in-law. He was a little embarrassed. He even ran in to see Qian''s several times, probably urging her to get up and cook. But Qian did not get up. In the end, Zhao Wanwan went to the kitchen to cook. There were meat and vegetables. These were still prepared, and Li Qinghe also went to help.


    The two sisters in the kitchen are cooking. This is a very common thing before they get married. Zhao Wanwan secretly glanced at her several times, "Sister, hasn''t she gotten up yet?"


    "I don''t know." Li Qinghe said calmly, "Don''t look at me near, I don''t go home often."


    "Are you going to the county seat after the Chinese New Year?" Li Qinghe asked.


    Zhao Wanwan nodded, "Go, there will be a county test after the New Year, I quit the job at the inn, and I will take care of Yanxi after the New Year."


    Li Qinghe asked in a low voice, "Did he really accept a concubine?" I was really curious.


    Zhao Wanwan smiled and shook her head, "No, it''s just that the girl is pleased with him, she often gives him something, but she can''t refuse it. When I go next year, it should be fine."


    Li Qinghe was dumb. If a man wanted to reject a girl, he couldn''t refuse. The girl¡¯s face is thin, she puts a few harsh words, or just ignores people, is she really shameless?


    She glanced at Hu Yanxi who was talking to Zhou Chengkang in the yard, but she didn''t expect him to be this kind of person.


    This is just curiosity, Li Qinghe still has business affairs, "By the way, she gave your father the silver and asked your father to give it to you. Your father came back and said that he found you and had a good time. He said that he would help you bring the silver in the future. do you know?"


    Zhao Wanwan was surprised and shook her head, "I don''t know, so you asked me if I saw my father?"


    Li Qinghe spread his hands. The reason why she said this was that she didn¡¯t want their mother and daughter to be deceived. The main reason was that Li Fu raised her for a certain period of time. She was still doing her best. Don¡¯t look for her father when the time comes. , I''m afraid he will be sad.


    The two sisters cooked a meal and went back to their respective homes after eating.


    In the first month, the two went to buy the fry and put them in the pond. After that, they went to the fields. They were about to plow in spring. Originally, Li Qinghe planned to cut down another two acres of the wasteland. After next year, he set aside one acre to feed the chickens. The rest will be cleaned up for farming.


    But last winter came too early and it rained for so long. Not to mention them, many people in the village had their land confiscated. Before the tenth day of the first lunar month, people could be seen walking down the ground with sickles and hoes.


    The two of them were no exception, mainly because there was no one to help. On Li Fu''s side, Qian was still lying down, and it was estimated that he would lie down in Spring. He couldn''t clean up his own land, let alone help, it would be good if neither of them helped him. Not to mention the Zhou family, it would take many days for Zhou''s mother to plant those land alone. Except for the second elder brother, the brothers probably couldn''t count on it.


    The two of them chopped for a day, and Li Qinghe had blisters on his hands, so he gritted his teeth and asked someone for money!


    When the news was released, many people found Li Kui. For all work in the field, Li Qinghe asked Li Kui to help find people. From wasteland to man-made houses, their family was very happy to give money, and many people came to the door.


    Li Kui took Li Xingwang¡¯s family and the seven or eight people invited outside, but within a few days, he not only cleaned up the land from last year, but also cut two acres of weeds on the side. Seeing this, Li Qinghe didn¡¯t want to keep it either. Cut out all over there.


    It took nearly half a month before and after Li Qinghe sent out more than one or two wages, but the effect was gratifying. Of the ten acres of wasteland he bought, only one acre was left on the chicken farm, and the remaining eight acres became poor. Ground.


    Good or bad, a variety of two years will be fine.


    When she bought this barren mountain in the past, although most of the people didn''t say anything, they thought she was a mess of money, but now that the land is cut out, so much of it belongs to her, and many people look at it.


    Nobody''s land has been so neat and tidy. Although it is thinner now, it has been planted for ten or eight years, and it is almost the same as here.


    So some people put their ideas on the wasteland around Wangwang Village, bought the money, took some effort to clean them up, and then harvested them every year.


    A lot of people went quietly to the village chief''s house in the past two days.


    When Li Qinghe first measured this piece of land, he measured the flattest section of the wasteland. On the left is the path up to the mountain. If you go to the right, you can still leave the village.


    A few days later, in the area on the right, the village chief took the ya chai to measure five acres.


    The person who bought that piece of land was surprisingly the Yang family. They were the same as in their previous lives. After the business was calculated, the shops and houses in the town were gone. After they moved to the village, they kept a low profile. They didn''t expect to have money to buy land.

 Chapter 58： Spring ploughing

    No one from the Yang family came at the time of the measurement, it was the village head.


    Li Qinghe was surprised when she heard that it was the Yang family. She and the Yang family were actually unfamiliar, and only Yang Lanrou was the one she knew best.


    "That piece of land is not as good as yours." The village chief lowered his voice, "But in this village, it''s a relatively good barren slope."


    Yes, Yang''s side is already a slope.


    The side that Li Qinghe previously measured was flat. In the past, it was a slope, and there were bamboo forests on that large slope. Bamboo is not that simple to root out. It can grow far away, and it is Li Qinghe. Bamboo has grown everywhere in the chicken farm.


    "I will be neighbors in the future, get along well." Before leaving, the village head left such a sentence.


    To be honest, Li Qinghe really didn¡¯t think about the problem of getting along with the two families. Her house is away from the Yang family¡¯s land, and the acre of land in the middle is a barren forest where chickens are raised. There is only a small path past. Don''t go by yourself.


    It''s spring plowing now, and Li Qinghe is busy here, so he can''t take care of the Yang family. She and Zhou Chengkang went to the town to buy seeds again, and they still planted barley like last year. It is worth mentioning that there was an extra thing called sweet potato in the seed shop this year.


    The black long strip, Li Qinghe''s eyes lit up when he saw it, and asked the guy, "How do you grow this?"


    The man took a look and said hurriedly, "Just bury it in the ground. I heard that the yield per mu is very high. Do you want it?"


    His attitude was a bit wrong. Li Qinghe looked at him suspiciously. Normally, many people in the village didn¡¯t buy seeds and kept them for themselves. Because she didn¡¯t have seeds, she had more land this year, so it has only been in the past two years. Want to buy.


    Farmers generally do not buy seeds if they have no surprises. However, no matter the grain shop or the seed shop, the ordinary farmers will ignore them. After all, they are poor at first sight and can''t buy anything.


    His attitude is so enthusiastic now, there should be something in it.


    Li Qinghe asked curiously, "Anything to say?"


    The guy glanced at the inner room and said in a low voice, "This new seed is a quota given by the county. Each shop must sell 500 jin, but I heard that this thing was in the next county last year... If you buy it, I¡¯ll help you make it cheaper. Normally five wen per catty, I¡¯ll count three for you. How much are you, I¡¯ll do the calculation for you."


    Li Qinghe tentatively said, "Two mu."


    The guy was a little surprised, "This thing is very weighed, and you may not be enough to bring all the five hundred catties back."


    Li Qinghe thought for a while and said, "It''s 30 catties."


    Man understood, this was taken back and tried to grow, without much words, he neatly installed it for her, and the two put the wheat seeds in the wagon and went to buy some meat before returning home.


    Along the way, he took a few people from the village. Zhou Chengkang didn''t ask for their copper plates, so he took it as a help. The sweet potato was at the bottom, but no one saw it.


    "What is this for?" Zhou Chengkang pointed to the bag of sweet potatoes, "Want to try to grow it?"


    Li Qinghe laughed, "Is it too late to ask now?" Don''t you want to plant, isn''t it just asking when you are in the shop?


    Zhou Chengkang took a small piece and broke it open, revealing the white and red meat inside, "Anyway, you want to buy it. I think this is probably still edible."


    In fact, he has seen this and knows how to eat it. Someone in the village did plant it in his previous life, but there are too many seeds for this flower. Basically, one hundred catties of seeds can harvest two hundred catties back. That is all good luck. So she wanted to buy it, but he didn''t stop it, so she would eat it herself.


    Li Qinghe laughed and approached him mysteriously, "I will plant this."


    She leaned close, and exhaled the heat to Zhou Chengkang''s ears, blowing his heart and mind, and quickly said, "Madam, what kind of this, you have something to say, I promise to make it right for you."


    The two spent half a day burying the piles of sweet potatoes in the ground, lined up one by one and covered them with soil. It was hard to say anything. When Zhou Chengkang saw it, he couldn''t help but said, "We have so many land, or wasteland, not afraid of waste, why should you squeeze it together?"


    Li Qinghe smiled and shook his head, "I''ll talk about it later."


    The two were busy with spring plowing. When they were looking for someone to clean up the land this year, Li Qinghe asked them to take out a wide and narrow row, leaving a road for about two feet. After the wheat seeds were sprinkled, they could still walk in a clear way. The big difference that others sprinkled on it seemed like a waste of land.


    Although some people think this is wasteful, they don''t bother to say that it is wasteland. Besides, Li Qinghe doesn''t know how to farm. Isn''t Zhou Chengkang still not?


    A few days later, when the wheat was planted, the Yang family over there was already processing their wasteland. They don¡¯t have anyone who can farm the land, so they still hire people. Unlike Li Qinghe, they owe wages when they hire people. They say they pay them after the autumn harvest.


    Li Qinghe asked a person for fifteen pens a day and one meal at noon. Yang''s family had no meals at noon, but gave twenty-five pens a day. The wages can be said to be very generous, and there are more people working. More than 20 people came in at once, but within a few days, all five acres of wasteland were cleared.


    Now the village looks at the original waste grassland, first here is a large flat land with Li Qinghe¡¯s house in the middle, and then looking outside the village, you will find a piece of weed grass in the middle, and then a large strip of land in the middle. A flat ground with a slope. Ignoring the chicken weeds left in the middle, it looks much better than the original barren.


    The fields of the Yang family were also sprinkled with barley. It is worth mentioning that the Yang family is already looking for someone to move the blue bricks over, and it seems that they have to build a house. Moreover, their family built a courtyard wall to separate them at the boundary between the two houses, leaving only a road in the outermost place.


    It¡¯s good to have a courtyard wall. Originally, Li Qinghe¡¯s side close to Yang¡¯s house was used to raise chickens in wasteland. Before, she asked Li Kui and the others to help them by weaving bamboo sticks to stop them. Nowadays, there are tall courtyard walls. Of course better.


    As for the original intention of the Yang family seminary wall, regardless of him, Li Qinghe did not intend to get close to the Yang family anyway.


    The seeds have been planted before and after, and it has reached the beginning of February. Everything recovers, and the weather gradually warms up.


    The sweet potato that Li Qinghe planted earlier had grown lush and lush. After seeing it, she began to pinch it from the root, and then went to plant it with Zhou Chengkang.


    Seeing the pinched seedlings, it really didn''t even have a root. Zhou Chengkang took a **** to dig a hole, hesitated several times, and his expression was difficult to express.


    Can this live?


    The seedlings are almost the same when used for cooking.


    Except for the vegetable field, all the land they have had been planted with barley. The pits dug now are all the trails that were originally set aside. It is equivalent to planting in the barley area.


    Li Qinghe saw his expression, "Do you think we are in vain?"


    Zhou Chengkang wanted to nod, but he was afraid of hitting her, so he tentatively said, "This doesn''t even have a root..." And in his previous life, he knew that there were people in the village planting this. It was really uneconomical, but he had never seen this kind of method.


    Li Qinghe squatted on the ground and pushed the sweet potato seedlings into the dug pit, "The roots will be established in two days."


    The two of them had been busy for nearly half a month before they planted all the trails that were set aside. During this period, they had to rest for two days because of a pinch that did not grow out.


    After finishing the work here, it was the end of February. After the villagers finished planting in spring, they started to chop wood more diligently or went to the town to find day laborers, but Li Qinghe was busy raising pigs again. Pork can be eaten and sold, and the most important thing is pig manure. Right now, only that one can fatten the land.


    She didn''t even have a pigpen if she wanted to raise pigs, so she started making bricks again. This pigsty is different from building this house. Blue bricks are used to build the house, but the blue bricks are too expensive and the pigsty can¡¯t be used. They usually use adobe bricks. This takes a little effort and does not cost money to buy.


    The land of the Li family was really planted by Li Fu himself this year, and the Qian had been lying down, helping to sow the seeds and never went.


    Occasionally, Yu Yan would come to talk to her, and even said that Qian was lying all day long, not to mention going to the ground. That was not even cooking. Li Fu went back after finishing work. Most of them cooked something to deal with, Qian took that. She can actually be used to eating. Recently, she has been busy in the field. It is said that her father has also learned to cook.


    Her illness is not over yet.


    Li Fu Annoying Li Qinghe didn''t know, but she was willing to accommodate the Qian family because she and her father had a good time, helping him with cooking and laundry. Someone asked if it was cold or hot. Now that she doesn''t want to be better, there are more ways.


    Li Qinghe asked Zhou Chengkang to personally invite Li Fu over to help make the pigsty, starting with building bricks.


    Li Fu was too busy to help his daughter because he was too busy to help his daughter. Now he was busy in the field. He just went here to invite him. The next day he changed his clothes and came over. When Zhou Chengkang went there earlier, he asked for breakfast. Come here to eat and will be prepared in advance.


    When Li Fu arrived, the thick porridge was cooked, and it was delivered to him steamingly. There were two delicious side dishes. After eating, he started to work. At lunch time, the steamed buns were still added with fine noodles. The meat, vegetables and soup are all hot and tastes good. They are indeed the craftsmanship of my daughter.


    Tasty is delicious, and I can''t help but say, "Will it be too wasteful?"


    Li Qinghe smiled, "No, it''s a shame to eat." Anyway, Li Fu doesn''t need any wages, she can afford to just eat some food.


    Li Fu didn''t speak any more, but his hands became rounder when he was playing the bricks.


    In the evening, the food was still as good. Li Fu felt very comfortable. If you are tired, you should be tired, but you can eat comfortably. The farmers work hard, so that you can eat well.


    He works here. On the contrary, the Qian family at home...


    She slept too much during the day, and she couldn''t fall asleep at night, and did not fall asleep until dawn. When I woke up, the sky was already bright outside, and there was no one at home, but the chickens in the backyard were so hungry that they cried so hard that they couldn''t sleep.


    She listened carefully to the movement of the kitchen, and it didn''t look like someone for a while. Not only the kitchen, but the front and back yards seemed to be empty. She closed her eyes again and there was no one in the house. That should be going out.


    She looked at the sunlight outside the window. At this hour, it was time to come back for breakfast, so she closed her eyes again.


    She couldn''t sleep either, and she didn''t know how long it had passed. Seeing the sun getting higher and higher, it seemed like it was time for lunch.


    Thinking that Li Fu would always come back to cook lunch, he kept listening to the movement outside, but after waiting for a long time, the sun began to set, there was no movement outside, and the chickens in the backyard seemed to fly out.


    Qian couldn''t sleep anymore, and sat up. At the moment, I really felt a pain in my stomach and he was hungry!

 Chapter 59： neighbor

    In the evening, Li Fu went home with a full stomach, and when he entered the door, there was a person lying on the ground in the yard. He recognized his figure and wanted to sigh, "What''s wrong?"


    Qian''s voice was weak, "I was so hungry, I got up to find a stutter, and I walked here with weak legs and can''t stand up anymore. Where have you been?" The voice gradually disappeared, and his body did not move.


    Li Fu walked past her, "I have something to do. You can get up early to cook tomorrow by yourself, and feed the chickens by the way. I have to be busy over there."


    Having said that, he went to the kitchen to boil water and wash.


    Qian looked at the kitchen where the candle was lit, and only felt more pain in his stomach.


    Li Fu boiled the water, ignoring her cry of hunger, too tired in the daytime, swiping the hammer for a day, and soon fell asleep.


    The next morning, when he left, he also brought a set of clothes. Qian specially woke up early. In fact, she didn''t sleep much last night and couldn''t help asking, "Aren''t you back today?"


    Li Fu glanced at her, "It depends on the situation."


    Qian is really anxious this time, "I''m so sick, so don''t worry?"


    "It''s fine to be able to move." Li Fu said, the people had already gone out, and Qian''s sobbing sound came from behind him.


    When he arrived at Li Qinghe''s house, he saw that the food was already on the table, so he was welcome, and sat down to eat with Zhou Chengkang.


    Seeing him coming, Li Qinghe smiled and asked, "Father, is Aunt Qian''s illness better?"


    Li Fuzheng was drinking porridge, and sighed after hearing the words, "She has a heart disease, and she has to figure out the problem by herself, and it will not get better for the time being."


    Yes, the Qian family used to steal money to subsidize the communication, but now the roots of the old Qian family are gone, can''t you be disappointed?


    But this is too long. I''m all dead, what else? I don''t want to live my life well. It''s been a few months and I still can''t figure it out.


    He frankly said, "It''s okay, maybe in two days, it will be fine."


    Li Qinghe also felt that Qian''s should be getting better. Her heart disease proved that she was not physically ill. He didn''t believe that she could still starve to death while lying down!


    If she really starved to death, she would be convinced.


    Asking him to bring his clothes over was mainly because he saw that his clothes were all torn, and asked him to change them and sew them on. It was too shabby.


    On the third day of building the clay bricks, Yu Yan came over with a needle and thread, and whispered, ¡°Your Aunt Qian, I got up yesterday morning and cooked by myself. People are going to faint, and they seem to want to pinch for her. Khan."


    This is a bit too much. She said she was sick, and Li Fu had also waited on her for so long, and did not ask her to help spring ploughing. Now she is busy. Li Fu was also unwilling to leave it. She should accept it as soon as she sees it well, and she should be treated as soon as she recovers. Why is it still like this?


    If you let someone who didn''t know it, he thought that Li Fu would run to help her daughter without waiting for her.


    Don''t say Li Qinghe deliberately found her father. If Li Fu wanted to serve her at home, he would definitely refuse to come. Since he came along with the situation, he actually didn''t want to give in, so it happened to be a bridge for him.


    Li Qinghe pondered for a while, but couldn''t figure it out, and asked in confusion, "What did you say she did for?"


    Yu Yan held her chin, thought for a while and shook her head, "I can''t figure it out, it seems that I want to die of illness and not live."


    The two talked for a long time, and Yu Yan said goodbye. She went to the kitchen to cook herself. She couldn''t help making clay bricks. Recently, she had nothing to do except cutting wood. She went to cut wood by herself. Zhou Chengkang was not. Yes, so I can only think about cooking.


    When I went out to see the pond, I actually saw Qian floating over. She looked really sick, her complexion was not good, and her whole body was thinner, and her lips were blue and white, "Qinghe, your father is here. Not here?"


    "Yes, help me make adobe." Li Qinghe responded, "What''s wrong with Aunt Qian, who is so sick?"


    She clutched her chest, "I feel uncomfortable."


    Li Qinghe was dumb, what''s wrong with feeling uncomfortable?


    But as Li Fu said, this is not much better. I couldn''t get out of bed a few days ago. Now I can walk this far by myself. It''s not a way for the Li family to get here.


    She clutched her chest and was about to enter the house. She had been here on the day of the housewarming. She hadn''t stepped on the door with one foot. The rhubarb at the door barked and called out, making her two steps back in fright.


    The one who retired was called a quick, and it seemed to be okay, at least not as weak as she showed. Li Qinghe yelled a rhubarb, wagging its tail and entered the dog house by itself.


    Only then did Qian enter the door, listening to the voice going towards the direction of making the bricks, Li Qinghe also followed her.


    "It''s really uncomfortable for me, and I don''t want to walk so far. I fell a few times on the road, almost."


    It should have almost fallen a few times.


    Talk this big gasp. Li Qinghe stood by, and Zhou Chengkang continued to work, with no intention of listening.


    Li Fu also worked hard, so he listened to her, "You have not talked to me for these two days. I have something to discuss with you. My parents are gone, and the communication is gone. We don¡¯t have any children either. I think It''s getting more and more boring, I really have the idea of ??not wanting to live..."


    Seeing Li Qinghe next to him, Li Fu coughed lightly, "Just say anything."


    Li Qinghe was uncomfortable, but Qian looked like she wanted to talk deeply, and she was really curious, so she picked up the teapot and poured a bowl of tea. Not to mention, she was really thirsty.


    "My cousin from the Qian family is the one who called Laifu. He just gave birth to a child two days ago. Their family has five children. I think... I found my uncle and wrote down the child under the name of the letter. We both hugged back to raise..."


    Li Qinghe took a sip of the tea, and heard this puff of tea, and couldn''t help but cough, "cough cough cough..."


    Upon seeing this, Zhou Chengkang hurried over to pat her back, "Why not slow down?"


    She coughed so much that her tears came out, and she looked up at him with tears in her eyes. Is this something slower?


    Normal people don¡¯t have this kind of thinking in their minds. Two people are close to forty.


    Not only her, but Li Fu over there also had a ghostly expression on his face, "We two, take the baby back to raise?"


    Qian glanced at Li Qinghe, who was coughing badly, and turned around and nodded, "With a child, there will be a rush. As long as I think about it, I feel that this blocked heart is more comfortable."


    In other words, if the child is brought back, she will be cured.


    Li Fu lifted the hammer again, "Since you feel comfortable thinking about it, you can just think about it."


    This time it was Qian''s turn to froze, and then watched her tears fall down, "You have changed."


    Li Qinghe couldn''t bear it and said directly, "My father is forty in two years. If I hurry up here, I can let him be a grandfather next year. You still want to bring a child back to raise, I''m afraid it''s not a brain disease!"


    Qian was astonished. Li Qinghe was not polite with her any more, and he never directly scolded her, frowning her delicate eyebrows, "I and your father, what are you a junior interjecting? Are you afraid that your father will not be able to help your father Are you doing work?" As he said, he glanced deeply at the adobe over there.


    Li Qinghe stretched out his hand and pushed her, "Yes! That''s it, unless you can give birth, otherwise no one can enter Li''s door. I think my father is not tired enough. It''s enough to coax you. You still want to get one. Come, the child, I''m afraid it''s not because I lie down for too long and my brain is broken."


    She pushed her all the way and pushed her out of the door, "I warn you, this kind of thought disappears as soon as possible. After what is left to the Qian family, what else will the Qian family have? Not just a broken house?"


    "You..." These words made Qian really sad, "Why do you say that to the Qian family?"


    "I also said that there is something demon recently. I was holding back this idea. You can''t get better if you don''t bring the child back, right? Then don''t heal, my father, I will take care of myself." Li Qinghe raised his hand and closed the door. Hurry up, or I will let the rhubarb bite you."


    Since Qian came in, Li''s family has never raised a dog. It was because Qian was scared. She was really scared. Even the slapped puppies, she had to stay far away to be relieved.


    Watching Qian turned back from the door, Li Qinghe frowned and went to the backyard. He couldn''t help but said, "Father, you really can''t promise this time, raising children, you are so busy, she is so lazy, and in the end it is not your job. ?"


    "No." Li Fu replied earnestly. "It''s not my own life, it''s enough to raise Wanwan. Others are impossible."


    The Qian family really didn''t come here anymore. Li Fu came every day at dawn, and didn''t come back at night until dark. Anyway, he didn''t eat at home.


    The new house of Yang¡¯s family has already begun. Many people have been hired for the same 25 liters a day, but the wages will have to wait until the New Year¡¯s Eve next year. That¡¯s it, because recently In the slack farm, there are many people who help with the work. The pigsty here has not been set up yet, and the houses over there have been up.


    Li Qinghe didn¡¯t know if the Yang family had built a house in the last life, but it¡¯s true that there has always been a wasteland here. Her tomb is built on the opposite mountain, and you can see here every day. No one really bought the wasteland here. Kind.


    After the house was built, it came out the date of moving, March 28.


    So anxious?


    I didn''t even wait for the house to move. You must know that the Yang family has a yard in the village. Although it is not very good, it is not that there is no place to stay.


    As soon as I heard the news here, Yang Lanrou came.


    In the previous life and this life, because Xu Changjie questioned that man, Li Qinghe had never spoken to her peacefully.


    At this moment, she came to the door. Although Li Qinghe had already put Xu Changjie aside, he was still a little angry when she saw the culprit who killed him.


    She looked serious, and Yang Lanrou still looked gentle and gentle, "Qinghe, I will be your neighbor from now on. March 28th, I will definitely come to have a glass of water and wine and join in the fun, thank you, thank you ."


    Finally, he pretended to hand over.


    Seeing her smiling face, Li Qinghe also smiled, "Okay."


    I''ll be a neighbor from now on. If I don''t go, I will be too targeted at the Yang family.


    Originally, she rescued Xu Changjie, and many people said that she was interested in others. Later, Yang Lan softly and Xu Changjie didn¡¯t shy away from each other, probably because they were going to get married. Now if it¡¯s against the Yang family, maybe people will guess that she can¡¯t let go of her little belly. Don''t go.


    This is not good.


    Seeing her answer, Yang Lanrou looked inside the door, "I heard that your family''s cultivation is good, can I go in and have a look?"


    "Of course." Li Qinghe led her into the door. Before Yang Lanrou entered, the rhubarb at the door began to scream.


    Rhubarb looked like he was about to rush out and bite, and Yang Lanrou turned pale with fright, and stopped, "I suddenly remembered that there is something else, let''s make another day."


    After speaking, he turned and hurried away.


    Li Qinghe watched her walk away, squatted in front of Rhubarb, touched its dog''s head, and smiled with satisfaction, "It''s good, I''ll chew your bones later."

 Chapter 60： Mother and daughter

    It was not until the beginning of March that the two pig pens were built. Someone in the village fed the sows, and Zhou Chengkang went to catch six of them. Generally speaking, if there are not many women in the house, they will not feed so many pigs. They eat a lot of pig grass every day.


    But people who knew their family situation didn''t stop them, such as Li Fu and Zhou Mu.


    Because in the wheat fields over there, the sweet potato sprouts grow lush and green, and it is good to cut the sprouts back to feed the pigs without mentioning whether there will be a harvest.


    Now Piggy can''t eat much. The two have to be free. Every time in the town, they buy chickens. This year they have more chickens than last year, and there are leftovers in front of them. She built a special room for the chicks, bought them back and forth, and raised nearly two hundred chickens.


    Immediately afterwards, news came from Zhou''s family that Zhang Haiyao was born and her mother and daughter were safe.


    Give birth as soon as they are born. Li Qinghe''s family doesn''t lack eggs. He counted thirty and sent them to her. The people in the village are not happy to wash the three, only the full moon will do it.


    In a blink of an eye, March 27th, the village¡¯s rule was to go there one day in advance to help. Li Qinghe and the two were no exception. They passed the chicken-raising wasteland, and walked around half an hour from the other side. When it arrived, many people had arrived in the village.


    Li Qinghe got to know many people because he invited man-made houses and people to clean up the land. Coupled with the fact that Yu Yan and the third aunt were there, she didn''t feel bored, she went to the kitchen to help prepare the dishes.


    For these happy events in the village, whenever she goes to help, she will be asked to cut vegetables. Even if someone starts to cut, they will give up the position when she sees her coming, and assume that she cuts quickly and well.


    Li Qinghe was also not modest. Yu Yan prepared the cuts and cuts for her on the sidelines, and the room was very lively.


    It was lively, and Qian came to the door of the kitchen, "Is there any help?"


    In fact, Qian¡¯s and Li Fu¡¯s reputation in the village is not very good, both because they were married before they got married... But now it¡¯s too long, most people talk in private, and it¡¯s still pretty decent, and no one will deliberately target it. . The third aunt waved to her, "Come here and choose food."


    Li Qinghe didn''t look there, but Yu Yan whispered, "Actually, I don''t want to come."


    Hearing this, Li Qinghe felt right. She was because she had saved Xu Changjie¡¯s village. The people in the village would say that she had a deep affection for others, and Yu Yan really had a period of time with Xu Changjie. She didn¡¯t think so, but in a day like this, if not Come, you will feel deliberate.


    She whispered again, "You said it''s all like that, why haven''t you set a kiss?"


    When asked about this, Li Qinghe''s heart was in trouble. In fact, the villagers are still very simple and honest about this romantic relationship between men and women. If they are married, there will be no messing about it.


    But Xu Changjie hasn''t gotten married yet, but Li Qinghe is okay. He has been married for a year. Although he has no children, his life is pretty good. No one talks about her and Xu''s family anymore. But Yu Yan was different. She didn''t want to find someone at random, so she was a little embarrassed.


    But today she came here generously, and no one should talk about those things in the future.


    "I really regret it." She said, "You said how I thought he was good-looking at the beginning, but now that I look at it, it''s actually that way."


    Li Qinghe followed her eyes and saw Xu Changjie in the yard. The scars on his face were gone, and he was restored to his previous gentle and handsome. Many girls in the village also secretly looked at him and blushed.


    Now she looked at it, and she was really able to feel like stopping water, "That''s true."


    Just like when she moved, these dishes prepared today will be used tomorrow, and I will not open fire here. Everyone who helps has to eat in the old courtyard of the Yang family, that is, next to Xu Changjie''s house.


    When it was time for dinner, a mighty group of 70 or 80 people went to the village. Li Qinghe and Zhou Chengkang walked together without speaking, and in a blink of an eye they saw the familiar courtyard.


    This was the first time she came back during the day in her life. The last time she came here was to report a letter. At that time, the sky was bright and she was anxious to go to help the town. She didn''t look at it carefully at all, and she was a little afraid to look carefully. When passing by Xu''s house, Li Qinghe glanced in, only to feel familiar and unfamiliar everywhere. Her eyes fell on the woodshed in the corner, where she died after being dosed with medicine in her previous life.


    Zhou Chengkang seemed a little nervous, stretched out his hand to hold her, and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    With warm hands, Li Qinghe returned to his senses, "It''s okay."


    When I arrived at Yang''s house, I felt familiar everywhere, and I still remembered the inside and outside of the yard. It seemed that Xu Chang''s eyebrows were tender and Yang Lanrou was getting along.


    But when she saw the person next to her, she quickly grabbed her mind. Now she has nothing to do with the two of them, and she doesn''t have to think so much.


    Today''s meals are generally ordinary, but the Yang family''s dishes are pretty good, and it can almost be compared to other people''s formal wedding banquets. Li Qinghe and the two are not short of meat and fish, and they don''t feel much better.


    After eating, everyone went back to the Yang family''s new house. Li Qinghe helped to prepare the dishes and went back to his home. The reasons are readily available. She wants to feed fish and chickens, horses and pigs.


    Li Fu followed her back to her house and helped her feed.


    Li Qinghe was feeding the chickens, and asked Li Fu, who was helping, "Does Aunt Qian mention any more about raising children?"


    Li Fu shook his head and thought for a while, "Can I come and stay for a few days?"


    Hearing that, Li Qinghe was a little surprised. It is normal for the father-in-law to stay with his son-in-law''s house for two days, but the two are so close, there is no difference where they live?


    "Your auntie Qian..." Li Fu looked embarrassed, "Just forget it."


    Li Qinghe felt that maybe something happened between the two, "Okay, why not." But she was also curious, and asked in a low voice, "Because of what?"


    "She still wants to have a baby." Li Fu answered quickly.


    He was in a low voice and spoke quickly. Li Qinghe almost didn''t hear clearly. After he understood, he was speechless.


    There are more than 30 people at the age of being grandmothers. The Qian family actually wants to have children, and can¡¯t help asking, ¡°Isn¡¯t it because I want to have the surname Qian?¡±


    Li Fu shook his head, "I didn''t ask."


    "I''m not afraid of being embarrassed when I''m old. If I have a baby, I just need to find a living on my own. Now I have a baby and I won''t dare to die. Besides, I haven''t had any children for so many years..."


    He paused, and seemed to notice that it was not good to say this in front of his daughter, "I''ll come and stay for two days, and she knows what I mean, so she can help you chop wood by the way."


    Li Qinghe laughed, is it really necessary to work to eat? The neighbors are not so unfamiliar and said, "You should help yourself to chop wood, come over for dinner, and sleep here at night."


    The next day the Yang family moved to joy. Li Qinghe had eaten in the past and then returned after helping to wash the dishes. Anyway, it was the relationship of ordinary neighbors.


    After that, Li Fu took the clothes and quilts and moved over. Watching his daughter''s busy schedule outside of home one day, he took the initiative to help feed the fish and the chickens.


    The weather gradually warmed up, and Li Qinghe finally had some free time. There were more and more sweet potato seedlings over there, almost full of intermittent wheat fields, which looked pretty good. She watched the past all the way and was in a good mood. Today she deliberately went back to Zhou''s house to have a look. It will be Zhang Haiyao''s full moon in a few days.


    When I arrived at Zhou''s house, I found two carriages outside the courtyard. She was confused at first, and then remembered that maybe it was the Zhang family who had come.


    It was indeed the Zhang family. The people who came were Zhang Haiyao''s biological mother and her uncle. Surprisingly, Xu was among them.


    Seeing her entering the door, Xu greeted her and took her hand, "I also said that I will go to your house and look for you later, and take a look at your new house by the way."


    "


    Li Qinghe was also very happy to see her, mainly because Xu didn''t come back often, and she herself didn''t want to go to Zhang''s house, and the mother and daughter would not see each other a few times a year.


    I saw Xu beckoning to a child, "Bin''er, come here."


    This is Zhang Haiya, Li Qinghe''s half-brother. At the age of eight this year, she has reached her shoulders, her small face is stern, and she looks very steady.


    He approached, leaning against Li Qinghe, "Sister."


    Li Qinghe has been unfamiliar with this younger brother for two lifetimes. Seeing him so gracious, he looks sensible and gratified. When he grows up, Xu''s life in the Zhang family should be better. A smile appeared on her face, "Bin''er, go to my house, okay?"


    She talked to Zhou Mu, and took Xu and Bin''er back home. In the yard, Li Fu was mixing pig food. Seeing the three people entering the door, she was taken aback for a moment and then returned to her senses, "Are you here? Yes¡­¡­"


    "My son." Xu''s tone was ordinary, and he walked around the yard.


    The mother and son walked far, Li Fu asked in a low voice, "Why is your mother here?"


    Li Qinghe spread his hands, "I came to see Sansao, stop by and have a look." If he can''t find a reason, Xu usually doesn''t go back to the village.


    The mother and son stood by the chicken pen in the backyard, and Xu praised, "This house is very good. Bin''er, what do you think?"


    Bin''er looked at the little chicken inside, whether it was a child, he hadn''t seen these before, which was quite novel.


    Seeing that he was interested, Xu smiled and said, "If you look here, I and your sister will go to the house and talk. I will come to you later, or if you see enough, you can find me."


    Seeing Biner''s answer, Xu took her hand and walked in, looked at Li Fu outside, and asked in a low voice, "Why did your father come?"


    Li Qinghe was dumb and couldn''t say that Qian wanted to have a child and Li Fu avoided it, right?


    After thinking for a while, "Father is fine, come and feed me the pigs."


    Xu sneered, "He just needs you as a child, and he should have treated you better, otherwise no one will collect his body. That... even if he died behind him, he only knew how to cry. ."


    Li Qinghe thought for a while, and thought it was really possible.


    She took out a purse, "You build a house, and you have such a big business. I am afraid that the money is not enough for turnover. Keep these."


    With that said, he couldn''t help but put a purse into it.


    Li Qinghe squeezed it in her hand. There were a few taels of silver in it. She sighed and handed it back to Xu''s. My sister-in-law also told me that Uncle Zhang stopped Bin''er from studying, and her father helped make peace."


    After hearing this, Xu frowned, "Nothing. She really said that?"


    Li Qinghe nodded, "I borrowed money from me, but didn''t say anything about it."


    Today, Xu family was able to come to her door to congratulate her, proving that she had a good relationship with Zhang Haiyao''s mother, and it was necessary to let her know about these things Zhang Haiyao did behind her back.

 Chapter 61： rhubarb

    The Xu family was not stupid. He understood what his daughter meant in an instant, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became cold. "Her mother is the same as me. She usually has a lot of contacts and is still close. I didn''t expect her to do such things behind my back. I see, don''t worry."


    As he said, he put the purse in her hand again, "Take it, I still have it."


    "I can''t delay for too long. When I came here, I promised to go back an hour and see that you are doing well, and I am relieved. If anything happens, go to Zhang''s house to find me." She said she would go out and see Go to the pond outside the gate, smile and say, "Get me a fish of yours."


    Li Qinghe went fishing for fish, just as Bin''er came out of the backyard and squatted on the pond to watch her fishing, "Is it fun to raise fish?"


    "Fun." Li Qinghe glanced at him, "Do you want to try it?"


    Bin''er came with interest, took the fishing net and went to the net. All of a sudden, the net came out of three fishes of various sizes. The smallest one was only as big as a slap. Li Qinghe smiled and put a bucket in him, "I will give it to you."


    From entering the door to leaving, Li Qinghe personally sent their mother and son to Zhou''s house within half an hour from the time they entered the door to leave, and watched them get into the carriage.


    On the side, Zhang Haiyao wrapped a cloth towel on her head and looked smug, "My mother said, wait for my full moon, let me go back and live for a month."


    "Very good." Li Qinghe answered casually, not caring.


    "By the way, I brought a lot of dim sum, and later you will bring some back to taste. They are very valuable." She said, turning around and entering the door, and quickly brought out a small packet of dim sum, "It''s just not much, I will share some more. To mother."


    Li Qinghe took a look, didn''t reach out to pick it up, and smiled, "You need to make up for yourself now. Keep it for yourself."


    After finishing speaking, he asked, "Earlier you said how many fish would you want for the full moon banquet? It''s the same price as the restaurant in the town. I will get it out in advance."


    Zhang Haiyao''s complexion froze, "Can''t it be cheaper?"


    Li Qinghe calmly said, "When the time comes, I can wipe you a fraction of dozens of texts." It is impossible to half sell and half give away.


    "Then...no more." Zhang Haiyao tentatively said, "Buy more meat, it''s the same."


    Li Qinghe agreed, "That''s okay." The people in the village held a happy event, except for her and Yang''s family, no one really had a whole fish.


    "The child is crying." Mother Zhou shouted over there.


    Zhang Haiyao sighed and lowered her voice, "I tell you, since knowing that she is a daughter, my mother is not very happy. Basically, I rarely hold the soup that I stewed, and half of it will be sent to my second wife. I see her. It means that I hope my second wife will give birth to a son."


    It''s boring to say this. Li Qinghe doesn''t like to listen. The child is his own, and it is good for the grandmother to hurt her. If she doesn''t like it, shouldn''t she still have to live? Staring at this little thing every day is simply asking for sin.


    Besides, Zhou''s mother is also considered hearted, and she has been separated from the family, and she will kill chickens and stew for her to eat. The reason is that the young crops are also big and they are about to give birth. What happened to some soup?


    We must know that many old women who are patriarchal in the village, if the daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter, let alone stewed chicken, it would not even have an egg, and there is still no separation of families. Zhou Mu is patriarchal, how can that be considered?


    So, this person, it depends on what you think.


    Seeing that there was no movement here, Zhou''s mother shouted again, "The child is hungry."


    Zhang Haiyao shook her head and stood up, "coming."


    Li Qinghe didn''t wait much. He stayed here mainly to ask for fish. Since she didn''t want it, she didn''t need to fish it and saved trouble.


    Soon the first day of the full moon came. There were not so many people in the full moon feast village. Unmarried girls and men generally did not go, so there were not many people. On the other hand, there are not many people who help, mainly the neighbors and relatives close to them.


    Naturally, Li Qinghe was going. Everything went smoothly. It is worth mentioning that on the day of Zhang Haiyao''s full moon banquet, a carriage came from the town and delivered a whole chicken, duck, half a pig, and two pieces of cloth. This is a big deal in Wangcun including the town. Many people praise Zhang''s generosity and love this daughter. Zhang Haiyao is humble, but the smile on her face is extraordinary.


    After the full moon banquet, it was already April. Usually there was nothing to do except to pull weeds in the fields. Li Qinghe looked at the sweet potato seedlings and started digging the cellar.


    After Li Fu came to live for four or five days, he moved back.


    Only the two of them can dig this cellar.


    Zhou Chengkang actually worked very hard, and he would generally not refuse Li Qinghe''s proposal. He started digging near the pigsty, and the digging was fast, but within four or five days, he dug a huge cellar.


    All the excavated soil was picked and poured into the vegetable field. There was also a large pile. The vegetable field was outside the courtyard wall of the backyard. The two picked them back and forth. As soon as Li Qinghe picked out a load, he saw Yang Lanrou smiling. What Yingying and Zhou Chengkang were talking about.


    She didn''t slow down, and walked out. Zhou Chengkang over there saw her and hurriedly came to pick her up.


    Li Qinghe squeezed her shoulders and asked, "Ms. Yang is here, but something is wrong?"


    Yang Lanrou was holding a plate with three steamed buns in her hands, "I have been learning to make steamed buns in the past few days, and I have done too much. This is too far away from the village, that is, it is closer to your home. I sent it here for you to taste. Taste it. The weather is too hot and it will spoil if you don¡¯t eat it."


    "No." Zhou Chengkang poured the mud on the vegetable field, "Ms. Yang is too polite. It''s a pity that we two don''t like to eat steamed buns, so it might be a waste for us to worry about it."


    Li Qinghe felt more comfortable. To tell the truth, she had seen too much of Yang Lan''s softness and Xu Changjie''s secret exchanges in her last life. Just now she saw the appearance of the two of them, and she would inevitably remember that she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, especially Yang Lanrou''s gentleness. The smile is exactly the same as when she questioned Xu Changjie in her previous life.


    But the difference is that Xu Changjie never refuses her, whether it is her request or the things she gave it all laughed. She thought she was too mean, but now it seems that there are still neighbors who are not helping each other.


    "You are too polite. We will be neighbors in the future, so we have to come and go." Yang Lanrou handed the bun to Li Qinghe, "Take it and taste it."


    "We really don''t eat buns." Li Qinghe looked at the buns in front of him and smiled, "If you don''t mind, rhubarb will like it."


    Bring it to feed the dog!


    Yang Lanrou''s complexion changed, and she reluctantly smiled, "I gave it to you anyway."


    Zhou Chengkang took the plate and said to the front yard, "Rhubarb."


    Rhubarb rushed over, scared Yang Lanrou back a few steps, he actually put the buns on the ground, and then returned the plate to her, "Thank you, Rhubarb really likes it."


    The smile on Yang Lanrou''s face was completely incapable, holding the plate at a loss, and finally turned around and quickly walked away under her feet, feeling a little fleeing.


    Zhou Chengkang smiled flatteringly when she saw her look bad, "Madam, what do you have for lunch?"


    Li Qinghe smiled, "Eat buns."


    Zhou Chengkang blinked, solemnly, "What kind of buns? I don''t like to eat buns. I will cook noodles for you, okay?"


    She really didn''t expect that Yang Lanrou would actually run over to give some buns, and when the Yang family moved, she would go to help, purely to prevent the villagers from gossiping. Anyway, she didn''t mean to have a close friendship with the Yang family. It was indeed a bit heartbreaking that Baozi fed rhubarb, but it also cut off the possibility of contact with the Yang family again. People who want to make faces will never come back.


    The two of them really ate noodles at noon. It¡¯s not easy for people to eat noodles. They need to knead the noodles and wake up. It takes half an hour at the earliest.


    Fortunately, the two of them are not busy these days. Zhou Chengkang suggested, "Why don''t we go up the mountain to hunt? At this time last year, the harvest was good."


    Not to mention, last year Zhou Chengkang went up and down the mountain for half a month, earning 50 taels of silver. Neither of them was a public person, and no one knew.


    From the second day, the two went up the mountain together. But because there is a lot of work at home, I went there late and I would come back early. There was not much prey, but a lot of firewood was cut back. Anyway, there is no idle time.


    Because of this, Yu Yan didn''t come here anymore.


    In fact, Yu Yan looks the best among the unmarried girls in the village, because she embroidered flowers in elementary school, has never been in the sun, and has not done rough work. Even in this village, the third aunt is not willing to let her work. , The main reason is that she can make money by embroidering, she has a good skin, and her hands are smooth and delicate.


    It is not a problem to earn a couple of two in a month, marrying her, the family will have enough livelihood.


    However, this girl had a high-sightedness. Seeing that she was getting older and didn''t look like she was going home, the third aunt simply asked her to marry her, and she refused all of them without exception.


    Originally, they weren''t biological mothers and daughters. Both parties wanted to get close because they were tentative. The third aunt didn''t want to force her, and then ruined the close relationship between the two, so she went with her.


    Li Qinghe knows that Yu Yan is a face-controller, and that she looks good and can also embroider. She has no worries about marrying or urging her to get married, but she didn''t expect someone to ask Yu Yan to marry her and beg her.


    It was another day in the afternoon when she and Zhou Chengkang came back from the mountain and met Youshi.


    What she impressed you the most was that she came to visit the door with the money at the beginning, and after that, the dispute between her and Qian¡¯s communication was really unfamiliar.


    You Shi smiled, "Qinghe, are you going back now?"


    Li Qinghe originally just nodded his head and was supposed to pass by after saying hello. He nodded again, "It''s not early, I have to go back to feed the fish."


    Seeing Youshi approaching her, "I have something to tell you."


    Having said that, he turned around and went down the mountain with her. Li Qinghe was surprised. How did it seem to have come to her specially, so I heard Youshi tentatively asked, "I heard that you have a good relationship with the girl Yu, and often talk together with embroidery?"


    Obedient, people would not ask other girls for no reason. Li Qinghe thought about it for a while and instantly understood what she meant.


    Qian Laiman''s brother, Qian Laixing, had just returned from the county seat recently. He fell on the way to the county test in March, and his arm was swollen. Jane had a bad year, and the village had been discussing for a few days.


    "I''m not hiding it from you, the Master of the Stars said that he was on the list this year, who knew that happened." You Shi sighed, "This year you are all 19 people. If you don''t talk about marriage, you should delay. Up."


    I asked Yu Yan first, then praised my son, and said that his son should get married. I really wanted to discuss marriage.

 Chapter 62： happy event

    Qian Laixing is an uncommon person in Li Qinghe. He is gentle, but he hasn''t grown as well as Xu Changjie. You''s always protected him well and never let him get close to any girl.


    But in Li Qinghe''s memory, this person and Qian Laiwen had a good relationship, because both of them read books and basically went in and out together. The same thing is that they are both weak scholars. Most of the money for the two of them is from Qian Laiman and his parents. They can''t carry money, can''t pick, and they can''t do anything except studying.


    Such a person wants to ask Yu Yan to marry. If it is **** because of any feelings, it is obviously because of the embroidery craftsmanship of Yu Yan. It is better to say that he wants to marry a money basket than to marry a wife.


    Thinking of this, Li Qinghe''s feet speeded up, and the meaning of throwing away You was obvious.


    You''s accustomed to farm work, he can catch up casually, "Qinghe, take a rest, I will tell you well."


    Of course, Li Qinghe kept going, but he moved faster. It just so happened that someone on the mountain greeted You, which was completely abandoning them.


    Put down the firewood, just drank a sip of water, someone knocked on the door outside, it''s not over!


    Li Qinghe went to open it, and it was Yushi who was standing outside. She was not afraid of rhubarb, so she squeezed in.


    "Qinghe, let me just say it clearly. My family Laixing went out and wandered around yesterday and met Miss Yu. He hit the match at a glance. Ask me to ask. You can ask auntie, okay?"


    Li Qinghe sighed, "Yaner didn''t want to discuss her relationship recently. Wouldn''t it be better for you to go to the third aunt and ask?"


    You''s disapproval, lowered his voice, "No, I don''t want to ask, if they don''t agree, it will not be good for our family if it spreads out. She doesn''t want to talk about relatives now, because she didn''t meet the right person. Xing will go to participate in the county test next year. If he is successful, he will be a talented person. Who can refuse the girl waiting?"


    "You two have a good relationship. Besides, your third aunt is not a mother-in-law. She is better at talking to you. You can ask me questions. If she doesn''t agree, you will treat me like I have never been."


    Li Qinghe was helpless, "I''ll go now, or do you come with me?"


    Youshi nodded, "But it''s hard for me to come forward. I''ll be waiting for you outside. You can ask for me. I know it in my heart, so I can come to propose marriage."


    I thought of mentioning marriage, and I was confident.


    When she arrived, the third aunt was drying her clothes in the yard. She was surprised to see her coming, "Qinghe, how come you have time?"


    "I''m looking for Yan''er to talk." After saying that, people have entered Yu Yan''s house familiarly.


    Yu Yan also teased her, "Why do you think of looking for me? Is there a business right?"


    "Really." Li Qinghe lowered his voice, "That brother who is full of money, did you meet him yesterday?"


    Upon hearing this, Yu Yan was taken aback, "I don''t know. Yesterday I went to town and met so many people. How do I know which one is him?"


    "My mother deliberately went to the mountain to stop me today. I have to ask you what you think. She also said that her son fell this year and was out of luck. He will be on the county test designated list next year."


    Yu Yan chuckles, "Your brother-in-law said that last year. I don''t know if there is a name on the list this year."


    The news of the county test is just these two days.


    "I can say it, I want you to be accurate, and then you won''t bother me again." Li Qinghe shook his head, "Chasing me all the way, I have to ask."


    "Why didn''t she come to ask?" She asked with a smile.


    Li Qinghe stretched out his hands, "Said that if you don''t agree, it will be bad for the two families. Maybe you are still afraid that you will refuse, and then her son''s reputation will be bad."


    She raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Why should I agree to such a person?"


    "That''s right." Li Qinghe replied without any surprise, "Then I''ll just go back. I didn''t think it was necessary to ask at first, but I was afraid that if you agreed to it?"


    Yu Yanbai glanced at her, "Let''s go back."


    The two laughed for a while, before Li Qinghe left the yard. You Shi, who was not far away, quickly came over and asked with a smile, "How?"


    Li Qinghe shook his head, "She didn''t want to. She said that she didn''t even know anyone, and everyone was not familiar."


    Hearing this, the smile on Youshi''s face froze, "No, did you tell her about the next year the star will be able to test in the county? How can you refuse it?" She looked up and down suspiciously, "Will you? Didn''t ask at all?"


    "If you don''t believe me, just ask yourself." Li Qinghe was annoyed, and walked away, "I''m still busy over there."


    It''s true that she is busy with work, and she won''t be angry. The main reason is that she doesn''t want to entangle with You. She still remembers that when she came to the door with the money, she looked like her son was sweet and sweet, and she was confused and confident. It''s better to keep contact with such people, preferably not.


    This time she did not catch up again, Li Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief and continued to work on the mountain.


    Two days later, she heard that You''s found Qian''s and went to the third aunt''s house again, but all she got was rejection.


    In mid-April, Li Qingmiao gave birth, mother and son were safe, named Li Guangyao, so happy that her parents said to people everywhere, please go to the full moon.


    Li Qinghe got the news and went to her house with an egg. On the way, she also met Zhou''s mother who was carrying a pot of chicken soup, "Mother, I''ll help you get it."


    Mother Zhou avoided, "It''s too hot, I''ll do it myself." Her eyes swept across her belly, intentionally or unintentionally, "It''s better to have a child earlier, a family, and have a child to be lively, the relationship between husband and wife will be better, no matter how rich you are , Where are the cute children? You don¡¯t feel deserted in such a big yard?"


    Being caught off guard, Li Qinghe was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, smiling and saying, "Mother, the children follow the fate."


    Mother Zhou glared at her, "I can''t tell if you look at it. You two have such a good relationship, why haven''t you had a good letter for more than a year?"


    By this, Li Qinghe blushed a little, and she coughed slightly to cover up her embarrassment, "It was not on purpose."


    In fact, it was intentional. Both of them planned to open up all the wasteland and regenerate it. It was originally expected that it would be completed in the beginning of spring next year. It has already been opened this year, but they still want to wait more. It is not that dangerous to be older.


    Mother Zhou didn¡¯t say, ¡°You two have the most ideas. I can¡¯t persuade me, but just treat me as if you¡¯ve had children. I¡¯m relieved, and I dare to see your father if you die... ¡­Your eldest brothers are also¡­" She shook her head, looking like she couldn''t say anything.


    I have already arrived at Li''s house, and the yard is full of joy. Li''s mother has cooked red eggs and is giving people away, saying that it is to make everyone happy. Zhou''s mother is very jealous when she looks at the baby child, and she is reluctant to let go. Live, ran to ask two red eggs to come over to her.


    Li Qinghe carried two red eggs in his pocket, and the words in his ears were Zhou''s mother urging to give birth. He returned home and saw Zhou Chengkang cleaning the yard. He peeled one and gave it to her. It makes us happy."


    Zhou Chengkang followed her hand to finish the egg, kissed her finger, and smiled, "Don''t worry. There will be one sooner or later, and I won''t let my mother down. We give birth to him eighteen or ten."


    "Do you think the pigs in the backyard still give birth to ten or eight, up to three...two."


    Zhou Chengkang laughed, very happy.


    After the two laughed, they really started planning for the baby. But after all the calculations, I think it¡¯s best to wait until next year. It¡¯s best not to choose autumn harvest and spring plowing. Otherwise, he will have limited energy to take care of it. It is best to be in March. neither cold nor hot.


    I''m thinking about it here. I heard that Mei was pregnant every two days.


    What the two knew was not only that Mei was pregnant, but that Zhou''s family quarreled, or the neighbor next door came over to inform them.


    The visitor was a fat woman in her forties, "Hurry up, Lady Liu and your mother have a quarrel."


    Li Qinghe felt baffled. Mei''s married Boss Zhou. Isn''t it normal to have children? What''s so noisy about this?


    The two hurried back, fearing that they might not agree with each other, and then they would fight something good or bad. When the time came, there was no more noise in the yard. Zhang Haiyao stood under the eaves with her baby in her arms, and sneered when she saw the two entering the door.


    Li Qinghe didn''t bother to pay attention to her, and went straight in. Sure enough, she saw Zhou Mu and Liu Pozi sitting opposite each other with ugly faces, and no one spoke.


    Zhou Chengkang asked directly, "Mother, I heard that you quarreled, why?"

 Chapter 63： secret

    The atmosphere in the room was dignified and Old Lady Liu had an ugly face. Seeing Zhou''s mother not speaking, she sneered, "Just now when so many people were watching, I felt ashamed that I didn''t continue to make noise, but it doesn''t mean you can bully me like this."


    Mother Zhou frowned, as if she didn''t know what to say.


    Hearing what Liu Pozi said, Zhou Chengkang turned around and asked, "How did you bully you?"


    Lady Liu sneered, "Ask your eldest brother."


    She was full of disdain, and Zhou Chengkang said displeased, "Auntie, can you speak well? You have been at our house for more than a year. When there was no separation at the beginning, Wumei still cooked for you. Usually no one is bullied. Are you? Why do I not hear you in a mocking tone of your speech?"


    He was upset, and Old Lady Liu was even more angry, "The things you promised me didn''t do. What kind of tone do you want? Your family is a liar!"


    "You can''t talk nonsense about this." Mother Zhou finally said, "Our Zhou family is indeed poor, but my children have never taken things from people since they were young, let alone deceive them."


    "Don''t lie?" Liu Pozi was very angry, and pointed at Boss Zhou, "He told me at the beginning that he would not have children within five years of marriage, but in only one year, there will be children. What is this not a liar? "


    Zhou''s mother was also angry, "Everyone is married. If you let the family not have children, what daughter-in-law does our family marry? This is to find two ancestors to come back to serve?"


    Don''t let Mei get pregnant?


    Boss Zhou didn''t say a word. It seems that he really promised this in private. When Zhou''s mother saw this, there was nothing else she didn''t understand. When she wanted to get angry, she saw the pale-colored Mei on the side and looked at her belly. On the face of her, she endured her anger, and said to Zhou Chengkang, "That''s what your auntie meant, saying that your eldest brother had promised to be married for five years without having children. This is the reason for this marriage, but we don''t know about it. If you say it in advance, there is nothing I can¡¯t accept. After all, our Zhou family really wronged Meihua, but now that Meihua is pregnant, what can she say? She actually wants Meihua to lose her baby!"


    "Such a poisonous woman, I have never seen it in my life!"


    Li Qinghe said mildly, "Why don''t you have children within five years? All of these are married, and childbirth can be controlled? Unless the house is not consummated, is it still a couple?"


    "At the beginning, your family gave Xiaoding, and it didn''t add up to a couple of silver. This is the attitude of asking for marriage? The reason why I agreed to this marriage is because at the beginning, Mr. Zhou said that he would not have children within five years of marriage. ......" In the last two words, Liu Pozi''s tone was heavy, "Also, I will keep all the money earned."


    Mother Zhou was taken aback and looked at her elder son.


    Liu Pozi sneered, "Don''t look at it, I have collected all the money I earned this year. If it hadn''t been agreed earlier, do you think he was stupid?"


    She paused and continued, "This child can''t be born. If you want to be born, your family will make up for my five-year loss. Oh, four years, ten taels a year, forty taels, I will never Stop it."


    Zhou Mu was very angry, "Why don''t you grab it? If you are Mei Hua''s mother-in-law, there is some truth to this. If the tofu recipe belongs to your Liu family, I will admit it, but you are an ex-grandmother, and Mei Hua is willing to remarry Take you, she is kind and filial, and she must be content!"


    Old lady Liu spread her hands, "Look, you turned your face, right?"


    She looked at Zhou Chengwen, "Boss Zhou, don''t say a word, what to do with this matter, you say it yourself!"


    Boss Zhou squatted on the ground, tugging at his hair, "I did agree back then."


    Mei Hua''s face was pale, "I''m going to give birth to this child." She seemed to be very scared, shaking her whole body to pull Zhou''s boss on the ground, crying, "I want to live with you."


    Things froze, and Meihua''s intermittent cries were left in the room.


    Zhang Haiyao, who was watching the show at the door, had already narrowed his smile and frowned.


    In the quiet room, Old Lady Liu¡¯s voice sounded again, ¡°Mei Hua, don¡¯t be stupid. He would marry you back then. He just focused on your craftsmanship. You don¡¯t need a betrothal status when you remarry. You feel so sincere. Don''t really feed the dog."


    "You are talking nonsense." Boss Zhou was full of anger and his eyes stared.


    "Look." Liu Pozi took a step back when he saw him, "I was told that I was thinking, and I was anxious. Is this trying to hit someone?"


    Mother Zhou closed her eyes and said, "Boss, go back to the room with plum blossoms."


    Boss Zhou frowned and met his mother''s eyes. He didn''t say anything. He helped Mei Hua go out. When he reached the door, Zhou''s mother said, "Mei Hua, you have to remember what you just said, this child, you want to have a baby, and you want to get married. The boss has a good life."


    "Yes." Mei''s tone was serious, "In this world, there can be no better person than him, and I am not the one who does not know what is good or bad. Don''t worry, mother, after this time, we won''t let you worry about it."


    "If you haven''t made it clear, you are not allowed to leave." Liu Pozi reached out to stop. "What is going to give birth to a child? Who agreed?"


    Zhou¡¯s mother stopped her, "After helping you for a year and a half, you just said that it¡¯s about ten taels a year, and it¡¯s almost enough to earn fifteen taels of silver. I don¡¯t ask you for the silver, but if you move out of my house, the boss will support you. Also count, I will send you food and cloth every year from now on. As for other things, don''t think about it."


    "What if I don''t?" Liu Pozi folded her arms.


    "Then report to the official." Zhou Mu said frankly, "Anyway, our family did not take advantage of you, and it is not impossible for a widow to remarry. I have never heard of taking a mother-in-law to remarry and give you the old age. That is our family''s kindness. Let me If you live in my house, that is also our family''s good-hearted. Since you don''t know what is good or bad, then you move out by yourself."


    Liu Pozi raised her eyebrows, "Then this tofu recipe, I want to sell it."


    Mother Zhou responded quickly and answered, "If you sell the prescription, then the boss will never care about you again."


    "Okay." Liu Pozi turned to go out and said loudly, "Plum, you have heard all of them!"


    She swiftly returned to the house, ping-pong-pong for a long time, and came out with two big baggages, "At first, Meihua told me. After the fourth and they moved away, the house was given to me. What happened? Let me and a little girl. I¡¯ve had enough to live. That recipe... just tens of taels of silver is easy to sell. From now on, I won¡¯t have to get up early and be greedy."


    The plum blossom stood at the door, leaning on the door frame to stand unstable and shaky.


    Seeing Mrs. Liu arrogantly laugh and go out, her hands softened and her body slipped. The boss Zhou beside her hurriedly supported her, "What''s wrong?"


    Mei Hua''s tears rolled down. Today, she cried too much, her eyes were swollen, and she choked up, "I am willing to listen to her, and I am willing to give her the money I earn, and even take her to help her for another five years after remarrying. It¡¯s because she promised me that she would not pass on the recipe for making tofu in my family. That is the last thought left by my parents."


    Li Qinghe was stunned, let alone, in the whole Luoyue Town, there are only two people selling tofu. If anyone can do it, Liu Pozi can''t make a dozen or two in a year.


    "Then what should I do now?" Mother Zhou was a little nervous. She was just joking, thinking about the big deal. She hurriedly sold the prescription before Mrs. Liu sold it. Unexpectedly, for Meihua, this It''s so important, even if you don''t do it, it''s something you must hold tightly in your hands. I couldn''t help but asked, "There are so many tofu, but the taste is different, so you didn''t keep a hand?"


    Mei Hua cried and shook her head, "She sees every day, it''s my mother-in-law again, I can''t urge her to leave, where can I keep it?"


    "I''ll find her back!" Boss Zhou put her on the chair and was about to chase after him. But the hem was pulled by Meihua, he turned around and listened to her, "No need."


    "I should have thought of this day long ago. She is not a good person. Unless I have always fulfilled her wish and tied her tightly to her in this life, I will not remarry or have children. Since I married you , She can always find a chance to sell the prescription."


    Boss Zhou was very moved, even Zhou''s mother was a little moved. For Mei Hua, marrying him is not just as simple as marrying someone, it is to get what he wants without losing the recipes uploaded by the family.


    Liu Pozi is gone, one person is missing from the Zhou family. It seems the same as the original, but it seems a little different.


    Li Qinghe and the two returned home, it was getting late, they cooked and ate, and then fed everything before washing and sleeping.


    As the days passed, when Li Qingmiao''s full moon banquet passed, the two began to cut the sweet potato vines in the field, cut them and dried them, and put them out to feed them in winter.


    Half a month after Po Liu left, there were three more tofu sellers in the town. Needless to say, they all knew that it was Po Liu¡¯s masterpiece.


    It might be like what Mei said. Po Liu wanted a seller for a long time. It is said that each family bought it for thirty taels of silver. She made nearly a hundred taels at once. I heard that she was still holding this silver. I bought a small yard in the town, and bought a few women to take care of her, and life was comfortable.


    The leaves of sweet potato vines were all covered in the yard. At first, I didn''t notice the two people who planted sweet potatoes. They also knew about it now. Looking at the lush seedlings in the wheat field, and the sweet potatoes faintly emerging from the soil, some people couldn¡¯t help but come over and ask, ¡°Although this kind of stuff is cheap, but the stuff is weighed down, how much do you buy? Planting such a large piece?" The question was Li Qingmiao''s mother.


    Before Li Qinghe spoke, a woman next to her shook her head and said, "We can''t afford to grow, and they don''t lack silver." Her tone was sour.

 Chapter 64： Autumn Harvest II

    Li Qinghe didn''t intend to conceal it. After all, if this sweet potato planting method were spread, many people would not be hungry. This is a good thing. Just about to say it, I was interrupted by this.


    This person seems very dissatisfied with her.


    In the past, the villagers said that Zhou¡¯s family was poor, but now, no one can say such a thing. The boss of Zhou sells tofu every day in the morning and returns at night. It is certain to make money. The second child went to Li¡¯s family to have a baby and had a good life, not to mention the third child. The girl who married was a girl from the town. Not to mention the chickens and ducks in the full moon. The pigs are half heads, and the fourth is better. Now, the large area and the bright blue brick houses are not fake. There are so many chickens and the pond in front of them. You don''t need to buy fish or eggs.


    Zhou''s mother took her daughter to live by herself, and she had several sons who respected her from time to time, and life could not be said to be sad.


    The Zhou family got up, and there were a lot of people who said sour words in the end, but there weren''t any such straightforward ones.


    Li Qinghe didn''t bother to look at her, and only smiled at Mother Li, "You don''t need many seeds. And you only need to buy this seed once, and you can plant it yourself every year."


    "Really?" Mother Li was very surprised, "Wait next year, I''ll come to help you plant it, you have to teach me how to plant it."


    Li Qinghe smiled and nodded, and pointed his finger at the tender tip of the sweet potato sprouts, "This is still edible, and I can take it back and fry it. It is also a dish. I have tried it. You can feed pigs and chickens when you are old."


    Hearing that, Mother Li was not polite anymore, she reached out and pinched, and the woman over there pinched too, "I''ll also pinch some and go back and try."


    Li Qinghe smiled, "I''m still going to pinch it to sell, a penny. Someone should ask for it."


    Mother Li''s eyes turned, she didn''t understand what she meant, and said with a smile, "Don''t say go to town, even in the village. Someone should ask for it. I will bring you copper plates later. If the young crops like to eat, I will pay Come buy."


    When she heard that she was asking for a copper plate, the woman had already pinched a few in her hand and hurriedly stuffed it into Mother Li''s hand, "It''s almost the same for the pigs. I don''t like this."


    After the stuffing was over, people quickly got up and left.


    Seeing her walking away, Li Qinghe asked in a low voice, "Who is this?"


    Mother Li sneered, "I just moved from the village. It is said to be from the Liu family. I bought the house from the Yang family. I just came down from the mountain and just happened to come and see your pond. Don''t bother, the village is like that. Many people, how can you know everyone?"


    After a pinch, she got up and said with a smile, "Unexpectedly, you are quite clever. This kind of person can''t let her take advantage. After saying bad things, she still eats vegetables. She is not beautiful."


    Li Qinghe smiled and shook his head, "Auntie, if you like it after eating, you can pinch it again. We can''t eat much for such a large piece, so I can only feed the pigs."


    After that day, many people in the village knew that their family had grown a large slice of sweet potatoes, and some people close to them would come and pick them up to eat as a vegetable, such as Li Fu and Yu Yan.


    Li Fu came over, sometimes he would help for a long time before returning. And Yu Yan, really came out to relax and rest her eyes. "I know that Qian Lai Xing, I will always meet him during my time when I go out."


    Li Qinghe was a little surprised, "You mean he stared at you?"


    "I can''t tell you." Yu Yan frowned. "Actually, I don''t think anyone is staring at our house, but basically every time I go to town, either in town or on the way back, I can meet him. Not going out."


    Li Qinghe frowned, "You really have to be more careful, where you can let the third aunt accompany you." He laughed teasingly, "That one is a quasi-talent, don''t you be impressed?"


    Yu Yan shook her head, "He doesn''t look good. Let''s talk about encounters a few times. I am too deliberate. I am a bit annoying. This marry can''t just look at fame. I still prefer to look at the face. I have to be kind and talented. It must be good."


    Speaking of scholars, this time the news of the county seat has been sent back, but Hu Yanxi still failed to get it, and the two of them had packed their things and returned. They couldn''t live in the county seat.


    Not only was the county town unable to live in, but after the two came back, they moved directly to Li''s house. According to Hu Yanxi''s words, he was too impatient, and he wrote articles that did not suit the examiner''s appetite. He wanted to return to the basics and return to a quiet environment to eat. Rough tea and light rice, watching Yunjuanyunshu, listening to **** and dog barking, return to simplicity and calm the heart.


    According to Li Qinghe, these two came back to live and save food and drink. After all, living in the town, whether it¡¯s rice, meat, or salt, you have to buy it yourself, but when it comes to Li¡¯s house, Li Fu will never ask his daughter and son-in-law for money, right?


    She wanted to take care of it, but Li Fu was willing, and after Zhao Wanwan came back, he could still have a hot meal, she didn''t bother to say it.


    The sweet potatoes in the field are getting bigger and bigger. Li Qinghe and the two have already started digging, and they have not thrown out the sweet potato sprouts. They all cut and dried them. The two of them are very busy here, but Zhou Mu came to help, and she came The next day, Li Fu also came.


    With two more people, the work was very different. Four people worked for seven or eight days before they finally dug them all back and put them in the cellar. It''s already autumn now, and the autumn harvest is about to happen in a blink of an eye. Fortunately, the sweet potatoes will be earlier. If they get together, it will be really busy.


    Now many people in the village are preparing for the autumn harvest, sharpening their knives, leveling the yard and other tasks. After Li Fu was busy, he hurried back.


    This year¡¯s autumn harvest, Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe are also very busy, covering a full eight acres of land. Although the whole piece of barley is not like other people¡¯s houses, in fact, this year¡¯s wheat ears are bigger than last year, and it¡¯s even more than last year¡¯s harvest. It''s better. In the eyes of others, such as Li Fu, he said that the weather this year was good, and he didn''t think it was due to the wide-ranging trip. It is worth mentioning that the three acres of land that Li Qinghe dug up and covered with mulch earlier, compared with Li Fu and their fertile land, yielded no less.


    Because there are many people in the village who want to buy wasteland recently, many people are actually paying attention to the wasteland here. Seeing the wheat ears, many people rushed to find the village head. The autumn harvest was not over yet. The wasteland around Wangcun Village had been measured, and even the mountains farther away were bought.


    After Li Qinghe had dried the wheat, he knew about it. She didn''t even think about buying more land. If she only grows it herself, this ten acres of land is actually enough for the two of them. That''s it, there are not a few days of free time throughout the year, and she has to go up the mountain to chop wood and hunt, fish in the pond. Also take time to sell.


    Speaking of fish, the fish in the pond should be sold again. They fished the fish and went back to the county town. It took five days to go back and forth.


    They didn''t rest since they were digging sweet potatoes. After returning from the county seat, they slept sturdily for two days before they were relieved.


    After slowing down, she returned to Li''s house with the cloth she gave to Li Fubei in the county town. It was a long time since she came back. The yard has changed a lot. The yard that was cleaned before now has a few more potted plants, a little more elegant and big trees. The stone table underneath was used to eat, but now there is a tea set on it, which looks quite elegant.


    At the stone table, there was a more elegant person than a tea set, Hu Yanxi.


    It is still a skill that he can be so leisurely when the villagers are busy with the autumn harvest. In Li Fu''s land, he was the only one working this year, and today Zhou Chengkang has carried a knife to help.


    With a book in his hand, he raised his head when he heard the movement, "Sister is back."


    Li Qinghe nodded, Zhao Wanwan heard the voice and came out of the house, "Sister, I heard that you went to the county again. Is it fun?"


    "We''re not going to play." Li Qinghe handed her the cloth in her hand, "I''m not free, you can help Dad make it."


    Zhao Wanwan took it, opened it and looked at it, and said with a smile, "It''s almost all dressed up and I made it for my father to wear for the New Year."


    Just buy it. She doesn''t care when he wears it. After nodding at will, she asks, "Where is Aunt Qian?"


    Zhao Wanwan was still folding fabrics, and casually said, "I have gone to uncle''s house."


    Somehow, Li Qinghe suddenly remembered what Yu Yan had said, every time Qian Laixing would meet her by chance, wouldn''t it be Qian''s whistleblowing?


    The more I think about it, the more I think it is possible. I still have to talk to Li Fu about this matter, "Is there any tea at home? I''m going to the field and take it by the way." I also want to talk about this matter.


    Zhao Wanwan folded the fabric and nodded, "Yes, I''m about to go, you can take it."


    Li Qinghe went out carrying the teapot and saw a young girl coming here, observing the courtyards along the way. The girl was very face-to-face, anyway, she had never seen her in the town or the village in two lifetimes, but there were so many people in the village, maybe which relative she was, she just glanced, without thinking, turned around and planned to leave, and heard her Call, "Little sister-in-law."


    This name is very special. Li Qinghe was stunned for a moment before realizing that he called himself, stopped and turned around, pointed his nose, "You call me?"


    The girl nodded and speeded up her steps. There were beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, which made her white skin almost transparent, and the small blood vessels under her skin were faintly visible. This is a girl with good skin and good looks.


    The girl was quite generous, she was a little panting when she approached, "Sister-in-law, I want to ask, do you know where Zhao Wanwan''s house lives? I asked all the way and said that she lives nearby..."


    Looking for Wanwan?


    Li Qinghe turned and looked at the yard. The girl followed her sight and looked in, and then tears fell. She was surprised and delighted, "Yanxi, I have had a hard time finding you."


    Li Qinghe: "..." Is this looking for Wanwan?

 Chapter 65： Confrontation

    At that moment, everyone in and outside the yard was stunned except for her surprise voice.


    Hu Yanxi was taken aback for a moment, and quickly reacted, "Why are you here?"


    Zhao Wanwan just put the fabric and went out. She saw this situation. She looked at the nervous man in a daze, "Didn''t you say that she has nothing to do with her, why did she come so far to find you? "


    "It''s okay, she misunderstood." Hu Yanxi got up and quickly walked under the eaves, his voice was extremely low when he said these words, "You know, she helped me, I can''t resist too much. That¡¯s how I misunderstood."


    Li Qinghe looked at Hu Yanxi under the eaves and talked to Zhao Wanwan in a low voice. Needless to say, she knew that she was holding her steady first. She turned and smiled and looked at the beautiful girl in front of her, "Wanwan is my sister. What are you doing with her?"


    "Um, I..." She was a little at a loss. "I heard Yanxi said earlier that he and Wanwan are not close to each other, so I want to ask, he... said he wants to reconcile with her, I... ¡­My parents are urging me to discuss marriage, I really am..."


    She stumbled, and Li Qinghe still understood. Hu Yanxi said that he and his wife are not deeply attached, and that they will leave sooner or later, and they will urge relatives at home, so the girl in front of him is getting deeper and deeper, and she ran out to find him.


    Looking at Hu Yanxi who had stabilized Zhao Wanwan over there, it was also an ability to coax women around.


    Li Qinghe lowered his voice, "Don''t be stupid. He has been living in my house for three or four months. If he really doesn''t have a relationship with my sister, he won''t be able to live for that long."


    The girl blushed, "But he said..."


    Obviously, she didn''t believe what she said.


    Li Qinghe stretched out his hands, "I didn''t know before, but after moving back, the husband and wife slept for three to four months. You may only believe if you have no feelings."


    Hu Yanxi walked to the door and just heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he let out a clear cough, "Sister, I''ll talk to her."


    Going on, this girl should be coaxed back by him again.


    Li Qinghe has never been nosy, but the girl in front of her was coaxed by a man. If she let go, she would definitely sink deeper and deeper. She wasn''t in a hurry anymore, leaning against the fence yard with her arms folded, watching with a smile.


    She had such a good-looking look and didn''t mean to avoid it. Hu Yanxi looked at her several times and couldn''t help but said, "Sister, this girl is my friend, we have something to say."


    The hint is obvious enough, Li Qinghe nodded, "I''m a little tired, take a break."


    Hu Yanxi was dumbfounded. This was when the sun was the strongest, and the fence she was leaning against was not blocked by the sun. I vaguely remember that Zhao Wanwan said that this elder sister was a person who was very afraid of the sun, but she was not at all afraid at the moment.


    He looked at the kettle beside her, which was for water. Said, "Xun''er, let''s go in and say. Drink a cup of tea by the way."


    He thought that after entering the door, Li Qinghe would not follow up, but she turned around and entered the door, carrying a teapot and enthusiastically pouring tea for them, and sat next to the two of them.


    Zhao Wanwan is not stupid, although he has temporarily stabilized, but the woman''s intuition is something here. Also took the needle and thread and sat on the stone table.


    There were only four stone benches together, each sitting on one by one. Hu Yanxi opened his mouth and couldn''t say anything. No matter how much he wanted to coax, he couldn''t speak in front of so many people.


    Xun''er was straightforward. Although she didn''t believe Li Qinghe''s words, she also became suspicious, and asked, "It just so happens that Wanwan is here today, so please tell me when to leave? I''ll go back and tell my parents... "


    At that moment, the expression on Hu Yanxi''s face couldn''t bear to look straight, and Li Qinghe couldn''t help but smile whenever he thought of it.


    The gentle smile on the corner of his mouth is still there, but there is a trace of fear on his face, and his eyes are full of disbelief. In short, it''s complicated.


    The corners of Li Qinghe''s mouth couldn''t help but turn up, right?


    This kind of man who is like a fish in the water among women, if all the women sit together and confront each other, everyone is not stupid, and after that, they are really good.


    "Heli?" Zhao Wanwan suspiciously, looking at Hu Yanxi, "Did you tell her that we want to get together?"


    "Wanwan, don''t you understand my mind?" Hu Yanxi blinked at her.


    Zhao Wanwan stopped talking immediately, and Li Qinghe knew that this Xun''er should be the girl Zhao Wanwan said was cheaper to sell rouge to her. That is to say, the one who has a heart for Hu Yanxi and insists on giving him something and money.


    "Xun''er, you go back first, I will definitely come to you to make it clear when I look back." Hu Yanxi vowed.


    Zhao Wanwan lowered her head, be regarded as acquiescence.


    Li Qinghe couldn''t see it, and said directly, "Why are you turning around? It''s not that you haven''t been talking about it right now, everyone just tell it clearly!"


    Zhao Wanwan pulled her sleeve, "Sister, things are complicated here, you don''t know the inside story."


    "Why don''t you know the inside story? Isn''t he just a liar to lie to other girls, what else to say about reconciliation." Li Qinghe looked at Xun''er, "The two of them are fine, even if he wants to reconcile, Wanwan would not agree , It''s impossible to separate in this life."


    Xun''er was taken aback, looked at Zhao Wanwan, then at Hu Yanxi, "Really?"


    Hu Yanxi was anxious, "It''s not like this..."


    Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "Then you want to get together?"


    Zhao Wanwan stared at him, Hu Yanxi said hurriedly, "I didn''t want to reconcile."


    Li Qinghe spread his hands, "Then I was right."


    She moved, and the yard calmed down, Xun''er''s tears dripped down, and Huo Ran got up and walked away. After two steps, she looked back, "Sister, thank you."


    Li Qinghe waved his hand, the girl covered her face and quickly walked out of the courtyard.


    The courtyard was quiet, Zhao Wanwan also cried, Li Qinghe sighed, "Wanwan, if you are short of money, you can borrow or deceive, but you can''t deceive others'' money and then deceive others'' feelings."


    The girl of the moment has few chances to come back, one can ruin a person''s life.


    Hu Yanxi said, her voice astringent, "In the beginning she had to be nice to me..."


    "Then you are misunderstanding that your husband and wife are in a bad relationship?" Li Qinghe is no longer polite to him, "You moved to my house, not just because you want to be meditation, this Xun''er should also be a reason !"


    When Xun''er moved here, even if he touched Luoyue Town from the county seat, he couldn¡¯t find the village. After all, there was no carriage on the remaining section of the road, so he could only walk on his own, waiting for the girl¡¯s house, who would dare to walk in such an inaccessible countryside. Dirt road?


    Of course, the biggest reason for moving here is to save money.


    The atmosphere in the yard was embarrassing, and Li Qinghe also felt that she was a bit too much today, but she really couldn''t see how men deceive other girls'' feelings.


    Just like in her previous life, she did have a heart for Xu Changjie, and she really wanted to marry, but if he didn''t want to marry, she could refuse it completely. It was enough to marry him and help him take care of home and outside the home, but he still had to interact with his sweetheart. In the end, it became her fault, poisoned her to make room for others. Really deep, don''t marry in the first place!


    She was still a little angry when she left the Li''s house. She carried the teapot and went to the field. Li Fuzheng and Zhou Chengkang were doing so enthusiastically that they could hear the pleasant voices of Weng and Son-in-law from far away.


    Seeing the tea arrived, both of them came over to drink. Li Qinghe poured a bowl and gave it to Li Fu, and took another bowl to Zhou Chengkang. He said, "Father, my aunt Wanwan asked me to marry me earlier. Yu Yan was rejected, do you know about this?"


    This is no secret. She went to ask and was rejected by Yu Yan. You''s still didn''t believe it. He went to the Qian''s to ask. Li Fu also knew it. At this moment, she heard her and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    "Yan''er told me that she always met Qian Laixing when she went to town recently. It seemed like chance encounters, but most of them were not chance encounters. I asked if anyone was staring at their house. Yan''er said no Feel it." Seeing Li Fu''s confusion, she said more bluntly, "I went to send you fabrics just now, and Aunt Qian went to Qian Laixing''s house."


    Li Fu understood her meaning instantly, frowning and asked, "You mean, your Aunt Qian helped him stare at Yu Yatou?"


    Li Qinghe said calmly, "I don''t know, I just doubt it."


    "I see." Li Fu put down his tea bowl and continued to turn around to cut the wheat, which seemed no different from just now.


    Li Qinghe also helped cut, but she was slow and had to go home very early. The next day, when the two of them went to the field again, they found that both Qian and Zhao Wanwan were there, Hu Yanxi, and they changed. A gentle gesture of a patched shirt with a knife in his hand.


    He really can¡¯t. Li Fu stretched out his hand to teach him, ¡°This way, it¡¯s a little bit, and it saves effort. You don¡¯t mean to be calm and to return to simplicity. I¡¯m a rough person, I don¡¯t know how to return to simplicity, but I want to do some work like this. Probably I can get more insights, and it will definitely be in the middle of next year."


    The two looked at each other, and couldn''t help but laugh, it was really - never expected!


    After working for a while, Qian''s forehead sweated and his face flushed with heat, "I''ll go back to cook."


    "No." Li Fu rebuffed, "I asked Wanwan to steam the bun, and pickles are also available. Let Qinghe go get it later."


    Lunch is really just pickled vegetables for buns. The buns are cold, but it¡¯s okay if the weather is cold. Pickles are really pickled vegetables, the kind that hasn¡¯t been fried. It can be seen that nonsense is difficult to swallow. Li Qinghe reaches for it. , But was stopped by Li Fu, "I didn''t prepare for the two of you. You are so busy. Go back and work on your own. With so many people in our family, we can definitely take it back. Don''t worry."

 Chapter 66： Prefecture

    So, the two of them really didn''t care.


    Originally, Li Fu looked like he wanted to teach them that the food was not warm, and all the food was brought to the ground to eat, why bother to get together to find abuse, besides, Li Qinghe really didn''t think there was anything wrong with letting them go to work.


    Born in this farmer¡¯s house, don¡¯t even think about escaping from work. For example, Hu Yanxi ran back to live for so long. He relied on Li Fu for food and drink, and had time to empty the yard. It was too leisurely and he should have done some work.


    The next day, Li Fu''s family all went to the ground again. Li Qinghe thought for a while. When it was almost noon, he brought them a large pot of tea. Otherwise, there was no water in the ground and someone had to go home to get it, and maybe this one went home. , She won''t go to the fields anymore. She doesn''t know about others, Qian can do this kind of thing.


    When she arrived, Qian was carrying an empty teapot and planning to go home, "No, Aunt Qian, I will bring you tea."


    Qian gave her a glance, Li Qinghe disapproved, "Father, drink water."


    Everyone came over to drink water, Hu Yanxi was dressed in patched clothes, her white hands were full of blood blisters, and the hands holding the tea bowl trembled slightly. They were very far from the previous Master Pian Pian. Zhao Wanwan looked at her with pity. Yanxi, you can go back. This hand hurts, how can I write?"


    Li Fu glanced at him, his face filled with disapproval, "It will be fine in two days. It''s just a blood bubble. It''s not that the hand is broken, and you can write when you are good. It¡¯s for your own good, you will be grateful to me in the future."


    Hearing that, Hu Yanxi grinned reluctantly, and had to thank him, "Thank you, father."


    Really tore his face, Li Fuxing would not let him live.


    Zhao Wanwan was surprised at his father''s way, but she couldn''t say anything to refute. After returning yesterday, she found out that Li Fu had already put away the food and meat. If you want to cook, you have to ask him for the food.


    In addition, the daily meals were brought out in the morning. Under such circumstances, if Hu Yanxi did not work, he might really have no food to eat.


    Qian frowned, "Why don''t I go back and bring some medicinal soup to cool off the heat, if I say that the tin is sick, it will be more expensive."


    "Are you sure you want to go back?" Li Fu looked at her with deep eyes, "I don''t say something, it doesn''t mean I don''t know what you have done these days, you should know in your heart."


    Being reprimanded by him in front of several juniors, Qian Shidun felt that his face was dull, "What have I done, you can make it clear."


    Li Qinghe smiled, "I''m embarrassed to have nothing to do with the busy autumn harvest?"


    Qian''s heard the sound and stared over, with a look of shock, "I also said why you are like this, it turns out that someone said in front of you that there were some.


    The more she talked, the more she felt that she was justified, "Qinghe, do you know why?"


    Li Qinghe didn''t feel annoyed, and smiled, "Cai Yaner told me that she is going to town today."


    Qian''s eyes moved slightly, and his expression was a little unnatural, "I feel sick in my stomach, I have to go back."


    With that, she bent over, clutching her belly and ran.


    Li Fu grabbed her, "You are not finished yet, are you? I just ask you, are you going to continue to mix things up with the Qian family, do you want to live?"


    Zhao Wanwan was confused, but Hu Yanxi looked aside. It seemed that he could guess what Qian did in the courtyard all day long.


    Seeing the appearance of the few people in front of him, Qian stopped pretending, "It''s just a handy help. I think this marriage is very good. Girl Yu looks good, and she doesn''t insult her when she comes to the stars. See you more and more. After understanding, we will get married sooner or later."


    Li Qinghe frowned, "Then why are you not happy about the Zhao family''s good marriage back then?"


    Qian immediately retorted, "How can it be the same?"


    Li Qinghe did not back down, "It''s the same! You don''t like being persecuted by others. Look at these things you are doing now. If the money comes to the stars and your heart is wrong, you run to hurt Yan''er, then you will be a villain!"


    "I''m not!" Qian''s panicked, "How can Lai Xing do such a thing?"


    "That''s not necessarily, knowing people, knowing the face and not knowing the heart!" Li Qinghe sneered. As far as she knew, Qian Laixing had a close relationship with Qian Laixing. Over there, Qian Laixing had a good deal of food, drink and prostitution. Who would I don''t believe it. After the encounter, the reputation is still so good, Yang Chun Baixue, this person''s mind is definitely not simple.


    Li Fu was a little uncomfortable when he heard his daughter mention the previous incident. It was not a way to continue the noise, and he delayed work. With a light cough, "It''s so hot, so hurry up and work."


    He said to Qian again, "You are not allowed to go back. If I find out that you confide in the news, you will go back to your Qian''s house."


    Ever since Zhao Wanwan got married, Li Fu often said that the most serious thing was that Qian was a little scared at that time no matter she let her sleep in the yard, but in front of these juniors, he felt really embarrassed. He bluntly said, "I didn''t give a whistle, where did you hear it?"


    "Work!" Li Fu took the knife, turned around and went to the wheat field first, Zhao Wanwan had heard about it for a long time and knew what happened, and asked in a low voice, "My mother is really staring at the next door?"


    The question was about Hu Yanxi, and he nodded slightly, "Mother-in-law did visit the third aunt''s house, but I don''t know if there is any report."


    Li Qinghe didn''t help with the work either, and went home after delivery of tea.


    Li Fu detained Qian for a few days, during which Yu Yan deliberately went to the town several times, but never met Qian Laixing. The person who reported the letter knew who it was.


    Hu Yanxi couldn''t help it. After two days of work, he found a reason to return to the town. Zhao Wanwan was naturally with him, so Li Fu was left in the house, but this time he didn''t let her lie down at home waiting to eat, so he had to restrain her to work together.


    Soon, every household in the village collected the grains, and Li Qinghe was worried about the sweet potatoes in the cellar. There were too many piles of this stuff and it would be broken. Besides, the two of them couldn''t eat so much. It''s a pity to use it to feed pigs.


    After thinking about it, I just took it to the town to sell it. The roast tastes very good. Before leaving, she cooked a basket and used it as dry food.


    Sells three cents per catty and can taste it. It sells nearly two hundred catties a day. Many people in the town know about the sweet potato, including the guy at the seed shop. Others don¡¯t know how many seeds they bought, but he knows best. , I only bought 30 catties of seeds, which sold nearly 100 catties. I don¡¯t know if I have them at home. If you count this, planting this is very cost-effective.


    But no one knew how to do this, he thought about it, ran into the backyard and told the shopkeeper.


    The owner of this kind of shop is actually in the county town. All the seed shops are worried about this pile of sweet potatoes and can''t sell them. Fortunately, it is cheap, so if you can''t sell it, you will admit it.


    Now I heard that some people are very good at planting, and they can plant hundreds of kilos of seeds from dozens of catties, and they can''t sit still in an instant. This owner has some relations with the county magistrate. After thinking about it, he ran directly to the back office.


    Li Qinghe sold sweet potatoes for a small half. Two people went through the cellar and picked out the broken ones when they heard someone knocking on the door outside the yard.


    Zhou Chengkang went to drive. He thought it was his mother or father-in-law who came here, but when he opened the door, he saw a carriage in a green shed.


    There were still quite a lot of carriages in the town. He was a little puzzled. He looked at the knocker in front of him. He was dressed in a fine cloth, and looked like an entourage of a big family. Looking at the man standing next to the carriage, there was actually a government officer with a knife.


    Suddenly it became even more confused.


    The same follower smiled and handed his hands, "Excuse me, does your family sell sweet potatoes?"


    Before the Qingpeng carriage entered the village, the people at the entrance of the village didn¡¯t care much. There were many people living in the village and there were many carriages coming and going. But when the carriage got closer, they found that the clothes of the coachman driving the carriage in front were a little different. The local government officials are somewhat similar. What do good government officials come to the village for?


    Under normal circumstances, it should be directly to the village head, or the village head to pick up people in the town.


    But looking at the direction that the carriage went, it was not the village head''s home. Everyone instantly regained their senses. This time something was going to happen and the ya sent here, it must have come to arrest people!


    Immediately someone went to the village chief''s house to report a letter, and many of the remaining people followed the carriage and saw the carriage go directly across the village to the new house on the wasteland.


    "Fourth Zhou family committed a crime..."


    "What can you do?"


    "They have so many houses and land, who knows whether the path is right or wrong?" The tone was sour, and at first glance it was uncomfortable.


    "Aren''t all the money earned by selling fish?"


    "If it''s the right way, why would the yaman go to her house?"


    A group of people stood not far from the new house, pretending to be looking for wild vegetables in Li Qinghe''s field, but secretly paying attention to the movement here.


    Zhou Chengkang went out for a long time and didn''t come. It happened that Li Qinghe was a little thirsty. He went out of the cellar and planned to drink water. As soon as he climbed up, he saw him bringing a few people over.


    The headed person looked in his thirties and had a solemn face, but at this moment, the corners of his mouth were slightly smiling, which was still gentle. Looking around with great interest along the way, Zhou Chengkang stood by and led the way.


    Who is this, take it to the backyard?


    Li Qinghe knew that he was not the unreliable person, so he stood there and listened to him, "This is my daughter-in-law. She thought of the sweet potato planting method."


    Hearing this sentence, looking at the people in front of them with a righteous expression, they vaguely guessed their intentions.


    Several people looked at the sweet potatoes in the cellar and couldn''t help themselves. Then they sat down in the room and the leader said, "It''s true that my name is Lin, and I have been in this county for five years."


    The magistrate''s surname is Lin Lai and he has been in office for five years. Looking at the ya chai with a knife next to him, the identity of the person in front of him is ready to be revealed.


    He paused, "I came here specially for this sweet potato method today."


    "This thing was brought back by Pu country the year before last. It is said that people over there never have to go hungry because of this. But when it came to our hands, it was still out of order. Some old farmers even proposed cutting into pieces, although the yield was increased. But it is still far from the rumors."


    Hearing this, Li Qinghe said frankly, "I am willing to hand over the solution."


    Hearing this, the faces of several people couldn''t help but smile, Lin Zhixian still went around their house with great interest, and then got into the carriage and left.


    Everyone in the wasteland outside thought that they would see Zhou Chengkang and two people in shackles, but they sent them out politely.


    Someone couldn''t help but said, "This is how to get people, it''s obviously a guest, right?"


    Hearing the movement, Zhang Haiyao also hugged her baby. At this time, everyone looked at her, and several people asked, "When did they meet the Yacha?"


    Zhang Haiyao had a clear look on her face and didn''t panic at all, "..." In fact, she also wanted to know.

 Chapter 67： Come again

    Everyone was scratching their hearts and souls, Zhang Haiyao found a reason to dismiss them, and went forward. Li Qinghe and the two were standing at the door watching the carriage go away.


    "Qinghe, who is this? What are you here for?" Zhang Haiyao held a child and made no secret of her curiosity.


    "Nothing." Li Qinghe said casually, "I heard that I grow sweet potatoes well, so I just came to ask."


    Zhang Haiyao was stunned for a moment, never expecting this result again, "Then the yamen will ask? The yamen still care about this?"


    "Yeah." Li Qinghe looked at the sky. Although it was autumn, the sun was shining and couldn''t help saying, "Now, don''t take your child out to get sunburned. Be careful of getting sunburned."


    Zhang Haiyao gave a hum, and looked into the courtyard curiously, as if he wanted to enter.


    Zhou Chengkang nodded as a greeting. He turned around and walked in. Li Qinghe smiled and said, "I have something to do with me. Sansao, go back soon!"


    For this reason, Zhang Haiyao couldn''t force herself to squeeze in the door no matter how thick-skinned.


    As soon as he turned around, he saw Zhou Mu and Mei rushing over in a hurry, and Li Qinghe naturally saw it too, standing still waiting for them to come.


    "Who are those people?" Mother Zhou was worried, "I heard that there are still knives, did you do anything?"


    "No." To Zhou''s mother, Li Qinghe was still very patient, "They came to see the sweet potatoes I planted."


    Zhou Mu suddenly said, "It''s fine if it''s all right."


    "Is that sweet potato really delicious?" Mei asked curiously, "I heard that it tastes good when cooked and can be eaten as dry food."


    She is pregnant now and no longer goes to town in the morning. Li Qinghe nodded, "Sister-in-law, take some home to eat."


    Hearing that, Mei was overjoyed and pulled Zhou''s mother into the door, and Zhang Haiyao followed up unwillingly.


    Li Qinghe installed some of them for each of them, only then sent them away.


    After picking out the bad ones, the sweet potatoes can be kept for a period of time. Basically, the more they are put back, they will not be bad.


    After the two people finished cleaning their house, they began to go up the mountain to chop wood, and went hunting.


    At the beginning, I had a good harvest. I grabbed three rabbits and a chicken. All of them were injured, so I had to rush to town.


    Since I came back from the mountain, it was dark when I arrived in the town. Originally, the carriage could not enter the town because of the large number of people. At this hour, there are basically no people in the streets of the town. Li Qinghe did not delay at all and the carriage was delivered directly. Went to the restaurant.


    The familiar roads went well, and when the carriage turned out from the back door of the restaurant, he actually saw an acquaintance.


    ¡ª¡ªLady Liu.


    She did as well as the rumors. She was dressed in a satin blouse with smooth hair and a silver hairpin inserted on it, much like a rich old lady in town. With two little girls behind him, they were entering a small yard without delay.


    She would choose to choose the back kitchen of this restaurant. People come and go, day and night, and it is very safe.


    Although the two of them haven''t been back to Zhou''s house much recently, they have heard that the tofu business of Zhou boss is far from before, and they have to make half of them, or they will not sell out.


    This result is because there are only five families selling tofu in the town. The other three were all found by Mrs Liu.


    Although not as good as Zhou''s boss, but it also robbed most of it.


    Seeing that it was her, Li Qinghe was only surprised, and didn''t mean to go forward to say hello. The carriage turned around as usual and was about to go home.


    But the old lady Liu over there has already seen the two and beckoned, "The fourth child."


    Zhou Chengkang didn''t move, and when she walked up to her, she asked, "What''s wrong with my aunt?"


    Liu Pozi laughed and said, "It''s okay, just let you tell your sister-in-law, I''m doing well, let her not worry, I will come to send a gift when her child lands. Thanks to this child, I can There are comfortable days now."


    "Also, you have to be conscientious. Your sister-in-law gave away the ancestral recipe for your elder brother. Your elder brother must be nice to her."


    What are these words?


    Li Qinghe frowned, "It is said that a tree is a skin, and a person is a face. The auntie will go back more and more, and even the face will disappear. Why are you embarrassed? Not afraid of my sister-in-law''s parents coming to you at night!


    Many of the old people at the moment are superstitious. After hearing this, Liu Pozi''s smile stiffened, "She agreed to this recipe, but I didn''t want it."


    Zhou Chengkang pulled the horse by the rein and said, "What the **** is going on, the auntie knows in her heart. No matter how hard she says, don''t be guilty."


    After speaking, the carriage turned out the back door and headed towards the town.


    Out of the town, Li Qinghe touched the front and sat beside him, propped his chin, "It''s too shameless!" I just touched it quietly, and ran to the two of them to show off his power.


    If those words were really heard by Mei, he would definitely be angry.


    "Don''t be angry, I won''t see him a few times anyway. Big Brother..." He smiled, "I definitely won''t just let her go."


    The two went to the village. It was getting late and it was getting dark. When they were about to reach the entrance of the village, they saw Zhao Wanwan and the others.


    When the carriage stopped, Li Qinghe was curious, "It''s this hour, are you still in the village?"


    Zhao Wanwan looked at Hu Yanxi, a little embarrassed, "The town is done, we move back to live."


    Li Qinghe was dumb, these two had thick skins to a certain extent.


    This married girl was born with her, and she did not stay with her parents for so long. Although Li Fu treated her like his own person, she knew it in her heart.


    Li Fu asked them to work. The two of them ran away after two days of work. Now that the autumn harvest is over, are you thinking about being able to come back if you have no work?


    Zhao Wanwan was quite happy over there and waved, "Sister, let''s go. I''m going to be here, so you don''t need to bring it."


    Li Qinghe didn''t want to take the two of them. The carriage quickly entered the village. When passing by the door of Li''s house, she jumped off the carriage. After entering the door, she found her father in the vegetable field in the backyard. He was digging the soil and was on the side of the Qian family. Helping to throw seeds, "Father, I saw Wanwan and them at the entrance of the village just now, saying that they want to move back."


    Li Fu stopped, "I see."


    It¡¯s fine if you know it. Actually, Li Fu can¡¯t control Zhao Wanwan how she wants, but it¡¯s not the way to let the couple live long. Li Fu works alone and feeds the Qian Clan. After all, it¡¯s his wife, and Zhao Wanwan can also feed Zhao Wanwan. It makes sense, but Hu Yanxi, why?


    According to that, she could also bring Zhou Chengkang back to live with her family tied together and tightened her belt.


    Then Li Qinghe went home, and the two of them went back to cook the food and boiled water to wash. They went to bed very late, and got up late the next day, and there was someone knocking on the door outside.


    Zhou Chengkang got up and got dressed, washed his face in the yard, and then went to open the door.


    The person who came was Mei. She leaned on her waist and walked in with a smile, "That sweet potato is delicious, I want to get some more," she added, "I can buy it."


    It''s better if you buy it. Li Qinghe installed it for her, and it''s cheaper when calculating the price than when selling it in the town.


    It''s not that she lacks these copper plates, but if she doesn''t accept them, Zhang Haiyao will definitely come over and get them at noon. Can''t stand it no matter how much, right?


    Mei was not upset either, lowered his voice and said, "I saw a strange thing this morning, I think you must be interested in listening."


    "What''s the matter?" Li Qinghe yawned before waking up.


    Mei''s tone was full of schadenfreude, "I saw your father, take your sister and brother-in-law to the ground."


    Hearing that, Li Qinghe''s sleepiness was a little more awake, "Did you go to the ground?" The autumn harvest has passed, but it doesn''t mean that the farmer has nothing to do. For example, the weeds in the ground have to be cleaned up.


    Seeing that she was interested, Mei whispered, "Well, when I came, I also looked over there specifically to clean up the weeds. The family is here."


    Li Qinghe''s mouth couldn''t help but aroused, and he smiled and said, "I will send it back for you."


    Hearing this, Mei did not refuse. The two of them carried the bag of sweet potatoes to the village. When they came back, Li Qinghe really looked at the field there. As expected, the whole family was there, and they had already cut a lot. After thinking about it, she went home to boil a pot of tea and sent it to them specially.


    Lest someone goes home with tea and never returns.


    When she arrived, she heard Li Fu''s voice all the way, "This person, you have to move. If you don''t move at home, your body will get worse and worse, and you will get sick easily. At that time, you will have to spend money on treatment. This is work. I won¡¯t get sick, and I¡¯m out of work. In the future, you will come back more. Now I clean up the ground. When the ground is finished, I can go up the mountain to cut wood. If the firewood is full, the inside and outside of the yard can be cleaned inside and outside the house. Even if they are all cleaned up, the clothes and quilts at home can be taken apart and washed until winter. You can make baskets and repair a hoe..."


    Hu Yanxi over there was covered in patches, and his face was full of vegetables. When he approached, he found a basket on the side with steamed buns and pickles in it.


    Seeing his expression, Zhao Wanwan couldn''t help saying, "Father, Yanxi is a scholar. He will take the county exam next year. He has to go back to read."


    "He has been reading books for more than ten years and he still fails the exam. Every time he comes close, it proves that it is not a problem of knowledge. He has to do some work. I also heard that many scholars were taken out last year, and they were too physically Bad!" He said solemnly, "You will get better and better at work, and you will definitely get it right then!"


    While talking, seeing Li Qinghe coming over with a teapot, he put down his **** and greeted him with a smile, "I just said I wanted to drink water, so you came."


    Having said so much, Barabara hasn''t stopped for a long time, so he can''t be thirsty.


    Li Qinghe held back his laugh and poured him a bowl, "Father, drink water." He drank well and continued.

 Chapter 68： Comer

    When drinking water, Li Qinghe noticed that Hu Yanxi''s hands were trembling slightly, and he always felt that he was wearing the patchy clothes nondescript. People were as polite as before, and when he took over the tea bowl, he smiled and thanked him.


    Qian came to drink water. Recently, she was detained by Li Fu to work every day. She insisted on being so tired from the autumn harvest. Now she is still used to it.


    What are you talking about buying? If you really catch the fish, wouldn''t Li Qinghe really collect her father''s money?


    She hadn''t spoken yet, Li Fu had already said, "No. It''s all said that it''s hard to eat, what''s the matter of stewing fish soup?"


    When Zhao Wanwan heard Yutang¡¯s eyes lit up, she was a meat-eating person, but before or after getting married, she couldn¡¯t eat meat as she pleased. Now she actually regrets that when Hu¡¯s family wanted a pond, she didn¡¯t insist on it. , If it changes to the present, she has designated to fight for it. The pond is placed there, and you can fish for fish at any time, and you can eat it every day. Thinking about nothing now, I heard Li Fu''s refusal before I was excited, and it fainted.


    Looking at Hu Yanxi''s patched clothes and his flushed hands, he couldn''t help asking, "Father, don''t you want us to come back? How else do you keep letting us work? Let me do it, why? Let Yanxi do it?"


    "He is a scholar and has no strength. Just look at it for a long time. His hands are like this. These..." She took Hu Yanxi''s hand, "These... are all injuries from the last time. His hands are What should I do if I am injured?"


    Li Fu took a look, and said disapprovingly, "It''s not that the teacher in the town was also a villager at the beginning, so he works. Whenever he is not here for spring ploughing and autumn harvesting?"


    "Since you are back to live, what can''t you do to help me?" He pointed to Li Qinghe, "Chengkang has come every time since they set up a marriage. It is said that I should buy some meat and vegetables back, but this is not you I¡¯ve been eating at home for half a year, and I bought it with money if I didn¡¯t have enough food. When you two got married, I gave the dowry. It can be said that I gave it all. Now I have no more money to eat meat, if I want to eat meat. , Buy it yourself."


    Zhao Wanwan suddenly had nothing to say.


    If they could buy it themselves, the couple would not go home either.


    "No, that''s great." Hu Yanxi finally spoke, smiled gently, and thanked Li Qinghe before saying, "Many words of father-in-law are still very reasonable and thought-provoking. The feelings are different here. Very useful for my experience."


    He smiled and looked at Li Qinghe, "I heard that there was a clerk with a knife in my sister''s house, I don''t know who is the leader..."


    Li Qinghe answered, "Master of the county government."


    It can be seen that Hu Yanxi was a little disappointed to hear this answer, but he still said, "Anyone who has done a good job in this kind of farming and is confirmed to be a great achievement must be reported to the imperial court, and there may be rewards at that time. What did the master say? Has my sister''s method been told to him?"


    Lin Zhixian did say this on that day, but the reward is mysterious. In fact, this is not a secret method. If a farmer who has been working for many years has bothered to go this far, he should find that the sweet potato vine has touched soil no matter where it is. , Will grow roots.


    But what she didn''t know was that because the sweet potato has never been able to find a way, the old farmer who served it was afraid that he could not handle it well. The sweet potato vines were all entangled with branches and did not touch the ground at all, so this Over the past two years, there has been no law.


    She smoothly said, "The method has already been said. As for rewards, I never thought about it."


    Hu Yanxi''s expression of hatred that iron can''t make steel, Li Fu was already impatient over there, "Don''t rest, people are getting lazier and more rested in this kind of weather, and they should not want to work for a while. Walk around..."


    They went to work, but Li Qinghe turned around and went home.


    Strangely, she thought that Li Fu had been tossing nonsense like this, and she should not stay for a few days, but she didn''t expect that the couple hadn''t left, helping Li Fu to cut the weeds in the ground and began to turn the ground again.


    As for Li Qinghe, they really didn''t go to help this time. They went up the mountain to chop wood. When she was pregnant, Zhou Chengkang was the only one at home. There should be no time to chop wood at that time.


    The weather gradually cooled down, and it started to rain outside. The chickens in the backyard of the two grew up to more than 100 this year. This year they can pick up 70 or 80 eggs every day. She has been hatching eggs one after another. , Now there are chickens of various sizes on the chicken coop.


    The two of them are not short of meat and fish, and they have eggs all the time. They will grab a few roosters to sell and bring some eggs. Sometimes it will send Xu some past.


    In the blink of an eye, October, several autumn rains fell, and the weather became cold. The rain was covered with snow, and it felt like winter. People who weren''t so busy with work stopped going out. Li Qinghe was no exception. After she stopped going out, she picked up the needle and thread. Yu Yan felt lonely and often ran to her to embroider.


    This girl is seventeen after the New Year, and she hasn''t negotiated her marriage. It''s really late, and the fifth sister is also the age when she is sixteen.


    Recently, I heard Zhou¡¯s mother said that she was helping her find her. Maybe she was living far away, and Wumei never came to talk to her. Since that time, she never mentioned Zhao Dashan again.


    Li Qinghe moved and built a house for the Yang family, Zhao Dashan was there, and I didn¡¯t see the fifth sister looking for him alone. Last year Zhou¡¯s mother said that she wanted to discuss marriage, but she also came to look for it. This year she hasn¡¯t mentioned it yet. Maybe she¡¯s already thinking about it. Faint, willing to obey Zhou''s mother.


    On Yu Yan''s side, it''s not that no one came to propose marriage, but she herself was not happy. Everyone in the village said that she had high-sightedness. However, parents are good and skilled, and their vision is normal. Because of her craftsmanship and looks, even if she often refuses others, there are still a steady stream of people asking people to talk to others. She was so anxious that Yu Yan let her out. She actually wanted to recruit extras, so she could marry out, but her godmother saved her. Life, she will provide for the elderly in the future.


    As soon as these words came out, most of the people who came to the door were stopped.


    The room was lit with a brazier, warm as spring, Yu Yan sighed with a needle and thread, "I can''t find a good-looking one in this village. It doesn''t matter if it''s not good-looking, it''s good to be careful."


    Li Qinghe laughed, "You come out of a big family, and see Young Master Pian Pian too much. Naturally these vulgar people can''t come into your eyes."


    This is not what she said, many people in the village said so.


    Yu Yan stared at her, "Even you make fun of me."


    The two looked at each other and couldn''t help laughing. As I was happy, Zhou Chengkang came in from outside and smiled, "I just heard that someone is coming at the entrance of the village, just like Miss Yu came."


    Hearing this, Li Qinghe was surprised, "Are you coming?"


    Yu Yan was excited, dropped the needle and thread in her hand, and stretched out her hand, "Let¡¯s take a look too. See if the person who brought me here originally, I don¡¯t know how I got here."


    This is the same person, he shouldn¡¯t know. Judging from Yu Yan¡¯s appearance, it¡¯s clear that he didn¡¯t come from the county seat, but for other county towns, the nearest one would take five or six days away. It¡¯s a long journey for such a long distance. Do not know how many hands.


    However, it''s okay to see the excitement. The two went all the way to the village. At this time, many people were heading to the entrance of the village. The woman who bought it at the beginning has given birth to a child in the past two years.


    In addition, the weather has been smooth in the past two years, and it is still worthy of gritted teeth.


    At the entrance of the village, there were a lot of people in three circles and three outside circles. Yu Yan pulled her to squeeze in front, and then both of them frowned.


    The person who came back this time was indeed not the same person as the last time. The person who came back up was all women, both fat and thin. And this time, there are men and women, all of them are ragged, and their faces and bodies are very dirty. The headed person has a big yellow tooth. "These people are definitely coming, cheap, regardless of men and women. Two silvers apiece, females bring them back to have children, and males bring them back to do coolies. They are all very good..."


    Still the village head went out, "This is not good, our farmer is not interested in buying and selling people."


    The man sipped, "You are not happy, someone is happy. Old man, don''t stop me from doing business."


    This can be regarded as stabbing a hornet''s nest. Even if someone wants to buy, but he is so rude to the village chief, everyone''s face has changed at the moment, "Going away, we don''t buy, you want to hurt us."


    In fact, apart from a few who want to buy women back to be their wives, there is really no one who is willing to buy people back home. It is indeed okay to buy them back to work, but they also have to eat. It is better to work hard.


    Besides, there are no girls here at all. The youngest are women in their thirties with a withered face. They are all dirty and not enough to bury them. Who wants?


    That person might as well develop things like this, and want to say a few ruthless words, the village chief has already said, "If you don''t leave again, we will have to report to the official."


    Hearing the newspaper officer, the man hurled away with curses.


    Everyone at the entrance of the village saw people leaving. In such a cold day, they couldn''t stand and dispersed. Li Qinghe was no exception. "Let''s go back, it''s cold."


    Pulling the person holding her arm, she saw that Yu Yan didn''t move. She looked at the direction the people at the entrance of the village were leaving in a daze. She couldn''t help asking, "What''s the matter? Go back!"


    Yu Yan returned to her senses and sighed, "It''s so beautiful!"


    "Who is it?" Li Qinghe looked blank. The villagers knew Yu Yan, and she hadn''t heard anyone like her, so there was a Xu Changjie who reluctantly asked, didn''t it all pass.


    Yu Yan looked around and lowered her voice, "It''s just the last one over there. If he is good at talking, I might buy it."


    Li Qinghe was dumb.


    "Would you like to go to town?" Yu Yan thought for a while, and asked enthusiastically, "What if I sell it in town?"


    "Don''t let it go." Li Qinghe looked at the sky, "It''s so cold. Tomorrow''s big show, we go early, I want to sell chicken."


    Every time I go to town, Yu Yan would rather spend their time instead of walking on her own. The next morning, the day was dark, and Li Qinghe¡¯s carriage set off for the town. That¡¯s it, Yu Yan could get up with them. .


    There was no one on the road so early. The carriage left the village, and when I passed by the intersection where the Li Qinghe sisters saw Xu Changjie, I saw a man lying there, all in ragged and dark clothes, which looked like he had come yesterday. One of those people.


    When Yu Yan heard Zhou Chengkang''s words, she opened the curtain and quickly jumped out of the carriage. After turning over, she said joyfully, "It''s really him!"

 Chapter 69： Save people

    She moved swiftly, and Li Qinghe poked her head out of the carriage after she got out of the carriage and opened up people to shout in surprise.


    Upon seeing this, the two people on the carriage looked at each other. Seeing this, it would be impossible to save it. They got out of the carriage, and the person lying on the ground was dark all over, and the face on the side was vaguely thin. On the cheeks, I don''t know where Yu Yan can tell that he looks good.


    Zhou Chengkang squatted down, turned the person over, and then noticed that his hands were sticky. He raised his hand, and his eyes were dark red. At this time, the sky was bright, and I thought he was black and gray. Seeing this hand, Yu Yan hurriedly pulled his clothes. After pulling it out, she found that she was covered with scars from the whip.


    And he was hot and breathing heavily.


    Li Qinghe asked in a low voice, "What should I do now?"


    It wasn''t that she wanted to leave people behind. She meant to bring people back to the village before going to the town to hire a doctor. Or directly take the person to the town to see the doctor and then pull it back.


    Yu Yan tentatively said, "It''s so dark, it''s not easy to bandage the doctor in town, right? Why don''t you send us back first, and then find a doctor for me?"


    Li Qinghe was speechless, and said for a while, "Are you sure the third aunt will accept him?"


    "Really." Yu Yan was convinced. The third aunt rescued her because she was a little girl and now a big man. Who knows how the other person is?


    She thought for a while and waved, "It''s okay, after I get him cured, if he is not good, let him leave. Or take him back first."


    This man looked thin, he was heavy after being lifted up, and he was actually as tall as Zhou Chengkang. You know, Zhou Chengkang is the tallest group in the village.


    The carriage that had just left the village turned around again and stopped at the gate of the third aunt''s house. After helping the man into the house, Li Qinghe and the two drove the carriage to the town and brought a doctor back.


    The sky was already bright at this time. After the doctor walked in, Li Qinghe also saw the cleansed man lying on the bed. His skin was fair and sickly pale. The eyebrows are handsome, the bridge of the nose is high, the cheeks are thin, and they look really good.


    In this village, Li Qinghe had never seen a man more handsome than him.


    Zhou Chengkang is completely different from him. He is handsome and daring, and the one Yu Yan rescued... is more like a little white face.


    The doctor came, and Yu Yan hurriedly greeted the people in, and said, "He has a lot of traumas. It seems that they are all whiplashes. I don''t know if there are internal injuries. He is still experiencing high fever."


    The doctor stepped forward and lifted the quilt. As expected, there were whiplashes all over the body, some were scabs, and the whole body was bruised. Li Qinghe was watching, Zhou Chengkang stretched out his hand to cover her eyes and whispered, "You can take a look, don''t keep staring." He took her to the outside room and approached her ear, "Go back and I will take it off for you."


    Li Qinghe glared at him and emphasized, "I see his injury."


    "That''s not true." Zhou Chengkang held her hand, "Where does he look good with me?"


    When the words fell, he rolled his eyes again.


    Zhou Chengkang reached out his hand and touched his face, wondering if he had turned black recently. She obviously liked to come before.


    The doctor looked for a long while, and sighed, "The injury is quite serious, why does your family beat people like this?"


    Naturally, no one answered this, and Yu Yan would not be so stupid to say that the person was picked up. She was a little worried, and asked, "Can that be cured?" She added, "You can use good medicine."


    The underlying meaning is that there is no shortage of silver.


    "Let''s see if he can wake up?" The doctor began to dispense the medicine. "He was not only injured, but he also had a high fever after the wind and cold, so he should keep it well. If he can wake up within two or three days, it should be fine."


    After the medicine was prepared, Li Qinghe and the two sent the doctor back to the town, where they went to sell the chicken.


    The weather has recently become colder, and the two bought food but not meat. The pigs she raised are more than a hundred catties, but they can actually be killed. The two plan to pick a day to kill a pig, and the rest will be brought to the town for sale during the New Year.


    When the carriage went back and passed the door of the third aunt''s house, Yu Yan quickly came out of the house, "Wait!"


    The carriage stopped, she ran over and crawled in. Li Qinghe was curious, "What do you do?"


    Yu Yan was in a good mood, "I''ll get my needle and thread, and buy a chicken and eggs with you by the way."


    Upon seeing this, Li Qinghe asked curiously, "That person woke up?"


    Yu Yan smiled and nodded, "I just opened my eyes, but soon fell asleep again. I have to boil some soup for him to raise his body well."


    "Aren''t you a bit too sloppy?" Li Qinghe couldn''t help asking, "You can''t just marry someone who looks good, what if it''s a horse shit?"


    No matter how light it is outside, it smells too.


    Yu Yan chuckled, "What is your metaphor? Where did you think of it? If that person is not good, I will save him for nothing. If he looks good, I am willing to save him. Marry someone. , Still have to be cautious. Besides..."


    She smiled a little, "The godmother did not approve of his long stay, saying that I am a girl''s house. If I live with a man who has nothing to do with me, it will have a bad reputation for me. They don''t want to leave a man who doesn''t know the roots to live in the house ."


    While talking, the carriage had stopped, and Yu Yan not only had chickens and eggs, but also some fish. The fish was carried back in buckets, and she could raise them for ten and a half months.


    In the afternoon of that day, Wumei came over.


    Don''t think this is her fourth brother''s house, she won''t come when nothing is wrong. There must be something to go there. This time she was very anxious, "Sister-in-law, mother said if you are not busy, let you and Fourth Brother go back."


    What are you busy with in such a cold day?


    "What''s the matter?" Li Qinghe was curious.


    The fifth sister''s face blushed, "Someone came to see me, and my mother asked you to help me see."


    Seeing her shy, she should have no thoughts about Zhao Dashan, Li Qinghe also relaxed a little, teasing and laughing, "Which village is it from? How old is this year? How do you look? How many brothers in the family?"


    "I haven''t seen it yet." Wumei couldn''t bear it, and turned around and left, "You hurry up!"


    I''m really embarrassed, it seems that she has some expectations for this look. The two did not delay, locked the door and went to the village.


    When they arrived, they hadn''t come yet, but all the Zhou family members were there, even Li Qingmiao and the two came back with their children.


    "Mother, what kind of person is it?" Zhou Lao Er over there, holding the child around, Li Qingmiao asked with a smile.


    In fact, Li Qinghe hadn''t seen each other like this in two lifetimes. Of course, the time when the money came full was not counted. They were all people I knew, not strangers I had never seen before.


    Zhou''s mother was also very happy, "From the village, the person your aunt talked about is also my maiden-in-law, but he doesn''t get along very much. That person is the only child in the family. He is seventeen this year and looks good. He doesn''t drink alcohol and has a temper. It¡¯s okay. There are eight acres of land, which is quite wealthy. He also said that he has been working with him since he was a child, and he is not that foolish person."


    This sounds fine. As long as you work hard before you get married, you will definitely not be hungry.


    She touched Wumei''s hair and smiled, "As long as Wumei''s marriage is completed, I will be relaxed."


    At this moment, the fifth sister has changed into a muslin shirt, combed her hair, and put a wooden hairpin on her head. It is not so beautiful, but she has a slender figure. Because she didn¡¯t go out much, she had fair skin and was considered fair in the village. Go to Xiaojia Biyu.


    Li Qingmiao smiled and praised, "With Wumei''s appearance, this thing is designated to be successful, it depends on whether Wumei is willing or not."


    Soon people arrived there. He brought a mother and son. The young man smiled shyly. The child of an ordinary farmer, his mother was very talkative. Zhou''s mother even let the fifth sister go out and walk in the yard. turn. Of course, the young man named He Chu was also with him.


    As soon as the conversation was over, Zhou Mu smiled and sent away the guests. Looking back, she found that Wu Mei had gone to the kitchen to cook.


    All of them went home to eat together. This was arranged by Zhou''s mother a long time ago, but on a day like today, Wumei is so active and not at all shy. She was clearly not like this when she first came. Suddenly wondered, "Fifth Sister, what do you think?"


    The fifth sister doesn¡¯t matter, ¡°I think it¡¯s useless. I have a sweetheart. He told me in secret just now that his mother didn¡¯t agree to the marriage, but he would fight for it. Then why should I join in the fun?¡±


    Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and Zhou''s mother immediately became angry, "Look at what your aunt did?"


    Whenever a woman looks at each other, the less people she sees, the better. Wumei encountered this kind of thing the first time, and it was really bad luck.


    "The aunt shouldn''t be deliberate." Li Qinghe said, remembering that this aunt helped a lot in the marriage of several brothers.


    Mother Zhou pressed her forehead, "I''m confused. I don''t even know about my relatives, how can your aunt know?" She comforted her fifth sister, "Forget it, let''s see."


    It''s actually not that easy to see each other. If you can''t see too many people, you have to weigh it slowly. With He Chu, Zhou Mu is more cautious.


    Now the brothers are sitting together for dinner, in fact, the atmosphere is much milder than before. In the beginning, there were many conflicts in living together, and it was possible to fight for the kitchen. It''s getting better now, because Zhang Haiyao has a lot of things, and he is still busy greeting the children while eating, and there is no time to say sour words.


    At the end of October, Zhou Chengkang called a butcher from the village to help kill the pigs.


    This pork is for sale, and many villagers have been told it earlier. Early in the morning, the Zhou family brothers came over to help kill them, and heard the croaking of pigs. The villagers came one after another.


    The latest pork in town sells for fifteen cents, and Li Qinghe is at that price. However, when encountering familiar people, such as Yu Yan and her elder mother Liu, and Li Qingmiao and her mother, they would wipe a small amount, but the price is actually much cheaper.


    There are a lot of people from the village. I am afraid of encountering sick pigs when I go to the town. Li Qinghe is more relieved. In addition, the weather has been cold recently and it can be kept for a long time. Everyone bought quite a lot. A pig was quickly divided up. Exhausted.


    It¡¯s worth mentioning that He¡¯s also came and helped her collect the cash. This is because some people are familiar with each other and want Li Qinghe to wipe off the odds. You can wipe the odds, but that¡¯s a favor. . For those who are not familiar with it, there is no reason to let the family take advantage. He¡¯s cashier, it¡¯s not easy to get close, even if someone cheers up and opens his mouth, He¡¯s will also say that she can¡¯t pay the bill if it¡¯s wrong.


    In the afternoon, the pork was sold out and everyone left. Li Qinghe planned to invite Zhou''s family to dinner, and all the women went to the kitchen to help.


    He''s standing aside, smiling and groaning, "My cousin is very satisfied with the fifth sister, and asked me to come over to check your voice. If you agree, she will come to propose a marriage."

 Chapter 70： neighbor

    As soon as the words came out, the room became quiet.


    Zhou¡¯s mother hadn¡¯t seen her sister-in-law for many days, and saw He¡¯s help today. She had forgotten about it. She couldn¡¯t help it now. "Sister Wu said. When the two of them went out to talk alone, the kid talked to her. He said that he already had a sweetheart, but his mother did not agree."


    He looked surprised, "Really?"


    "So many of us know it." Zhou Mu sighed, "Don''t mention it later."


    "This kind of rape, I''m going back to ask her what she means." He Shi was annoyed, "I told her it was my niece, but I didn''t expect that she could hide this from me. Isn''t this harmful?"


    Mother Zhou waved her hand hurriedly, "Don''t mention it, this kind of thing will cause the girl''s family to suffer. Stay away from him later, uneasy and kind."


    He''s repeatedly apologized, very embarrassed, "I really don''t know about this, otherwise I can''t take him home."


    "I know that you are not wicked, and you are also painful to several children. Thanks to your help over the years." Mother Zhou smiled, "I have meat to eat today, don''t say these unhappy."


    There is indeed meat to eat. Li Qinghe deliberately saved a dozen catties to eat by herself. With so many people today, she cut a big piece and killed the pig for a good meal.


    After that, everyone tacitly stopped mentioning He Chu. Farmers, there are really not many people who eat meat like this. Zhou Chengkang also bought some wine specially, and everyone who ate a meal was very happy.


    By the time the person was sent away, it was already afternoon, and it was almost winter. It was getting dark early, and it felt foggy outside, and it was cold all over. The two stood at the door and sent away Zhou''s family and He''s. Zhou Chengkang took her in, "You go back and rest."


    Li Qinghe shook his head and pointed to the internal organs in the corner of the yard, "No, those things have to be washed out."


    For a whole pig, there are not a few things to throw away, and all of them are washed out to eat, even if the internal organs are not well done and they are not delicious.


    "I''m going to wash it." Zhou Chengkang pushed her with a smile, and then asked, "Dad or not, or send him some?"


    In the end, the two of them did the washing together. No matter what they did, the two of them were not so tired to do, and they could talk without feeling irritable. When the washing was finished, it was already dark outside.


    At night, the candlelight was dim, and the two sat facing the brazier. Li Qinghe took the needle and thread, and Zhou Chengkang sat opposite her. At first, he counted the silver and copper plates during the day. After the count, he did nothing and looked at her with a smile.


    The gaze was as real, Li Qinghe raised his eyes and met his smiling eyes, and couldn''t help but smile, "What are you thinking?"


    Zhou Chengkang returned to his mind, "Originally, I often thought that after we got married, in such a quiet house, no one disturbed me. I can make you full and warm, which is the best thing in the world."


    original?


    Li Qinghe suddenly remembered the lonely figure who had guarded her tombstone in the previous life, feeling slightly sour, and couldn''t help saying, "We will all be fine in the future."


    He got up, walked to her and hugged her with a soft voice, "I always think it''s a dream. I''m afraid the dream will wake up as soon as I apply force."


    Li Qinghe reached out and hugged his waist, "No, I will always be with you."


    "Qinghe." He whispered, and said in a low voice, "Qinghe, let''s have a baby."


    Li Qinghe''s eyes gradually brightened, and the smile on his face sweetened, "Okay."


    The next morning, Li Qinghe took pig blood and sent it to Li Fu and Zhou Mu. Before, even the butcher didn¡¯t know how to eat this pig blood. When the pig was slaughtered yesterday, she prepared salt water and then it turned into pieces. After she cooked it thoroughly It became blood tofu. Yesterday, Zhou''s family used it to cook the soup. It tasted good and they all liked it.


    Most of the pork was sold, not much, but there was a lot of pig blood. There were only two of them and they couldn''t finish it.


    Zhou Chengkang gave it to the Zhou family, while Li Qinghe took it back to the Li family.


    It is worth mentioning that Hu Yanxi and the two stayed in a daze. No matter how Li Fu asked them to work, they did what they could, and when they were tired, they fooled around. No matter how poor the food, even if one person was half a bun, they did not complain. , I didn''t say anything to leave anyway. They live here and work every day. Li Fu can be more relaxed, and Qian has also been detained recently, and there is no time to help spread the news.


    When she arrived, it was just when she was making breakfast. The smell of meat wafted from the kitchen. Li Fu bought it yesterday. She didn''t want the silver, but he gave it to her hard.


    Zhao Wanwan was very happy when she saw her entering the door, "Sister." When she saw the pig blood she was carrying, her eyes lit up, "Sister, can this be eaten?"


    "It can be eaten." Li Qinghe took it into the kitchen and told her how to go home.


    When Li Fu heard the movement, he came out of the room, "What''s the gift?"


    "Pig blood," Li Qinghe looked inside, and saw that Hu Yanxi was looking at it carefully while holding a book, and Qian''s side was putting on the soles of his shoes, "There is not much in total, you can try it."


    Seeing her stepping out, Li Fu hurriedly said, "I will come back after dinner."


    Li Qinghe didn''t want to stay for dinner, but refused with a smile, "No, I''ll see Yan''er."


    At this time, Qian went out with the soles of his shoes and asked mysteriously, "Qinghe, wouldn''t Girl Yu really want to marry that person? Isn''t that a beggar? No house, no food, no money, even clothes Not at all. The baby who was just born is still carrying milk, but he is better, and cleaner than the baby who was just born."


    Not to mention, Qian''s remarks are very reasonable.


    But the premise is that Yu Yan''s craftsmanship is not a problem to support herself, and again, it is hard to buy a daughter. If she is really happy, probably no one can persuade her to come back.


    After she went out, she went straight to the next door, and outside the yard, she saw a young man with a long body Yuli standing under the tree with his hands held down. It was the one Yu Yan had rescued.


    He was not afraid of the cold when he stood outside on such a cold day.


    Seeing Li Qinghe entering the door, he smiled, his eyebrows stretched out, giving people a feeling of warmth and jade, and the eyebrows were picturesque and exquisite, and they looked really good!


    He stepped forward two steps and leaned forward, "I heard Miss Yu said that someone rescued me with her that day, it should be you. Thank you, my sister-in-law for saving my life."


    Hearing the name Sister-in-law again, Li Qinghe inevitably remembered the girl Xun''er who came to see Hu Yanxi. In Luoyue Town, basically people don''t call young women like that, they are usually girls or older sisters.


    So, this person came from the county seat?


    Li Qinghe smiled and said, "No thanks, it was Yaner who wanted to save you that day. Just thank her."


    Hearing the movement, Yu Yan came out of the house and saw the person under the tree, frowning and said, "You are not well, be careful you catch a cold again."


    Then Li Qinghe saw this person''s white face gradually reddened.


    Are you so shy?


    Yu Yan looked at her with interest, and her face became redder. Then he urged, "Go in and lie down, don''t you know that you are weak?"


    The man yawned to Li Qinghe before entering the door.


    Yu Yan walked up to her, did not let her in, but walked out of the yard with her arm. When she got outside, she said, "I want to buy land and build a house like you."


    Hearing this, Li Qinghe was surprised, "Do you really want to marry him?"


    Yu Yan glared at her, she was also a little shy, "I don''t know him yet, it''s not all because of this."


    She fell into a low mood, "The godmother and their house is not big. You live far away. You don¡¯t know about some things. The godfather¡¯s nephew has been calculating the house and waiting for them to return to him in a hundred years, and then the godmother saved it. I, I also said that I would help them with their retirement. It was okay before, but occasionally stabbed me a few words, maybe I still don¡¯t believe that I would recruit a parent. Now I saved Min Rui... Anyway, I have quarreled a few times. Anyway, I don¡¯t think they are reliable, but the house is separated by a yard. It¡¯s too close to see if you can see it by looking up, I feel annoying."


    "You have to live comfortably, and people who don¡¯t like to see should stay away. I have saved a lot of money these days, so I just go to buy a piece of land, live farther, and have a bigger house. It¡¯s locked here. They have to run for half an hour if they want to be embarrassed.


    In the end, she sneered, "In this kind of weather, if I can run so far to ridicule the critics, I will convince them."


    Li Qinghe chuckled. She had heard about the bad things between the third aunt and the concubine. After hearing this, she calculated and said, "There are about two acres of land behind me. There should be enough vegetable plots. I didn¡¯t have enough money at the beginning, otherwise I bought them together."


    After hearing this, Yu Yan hurriedly urged, "Take me to see. If I can, I will ask the village chief to buy it, otherwise it will be too late to regret it."


    Originally, Li Qinghe was going to Zhou''s house, but he couldn''t go now. She was dragged to see the land. In the winter, the barren grassland was barren. You can see what the situation is without having to look closely.


    After Yu Yan saw it, she went to the village chief. The next morning, the government office who surveyed the land came, and then she got the title deed.


    Compared with the original Li Qinghe buying the land more quickly, and she didn''t ask anyone for advice, so she took care of the matter herself. The villagers didn''t even know that Yu Yan had bought the land until the government officer came.


    On the day she bought the land, someone knocked on the door of Li Qinghe''s house. It was very surprising that it was Yang Lanrou.


    This is the first time since the bun she sent to the dog was fed by Zhou Chengkang.

 Chapter 71： Danger

    Seeing that it was her, Li Qinghe made no secret of the surprise on her face, "Miss Yang, what''s the matter?"


    Yang Lanrou looked guarded at the dog house at the door. The rhubarb in it was not there. It went in after the cold weather. Then she stepped in comfortably and said, "I have something to discuss with you."


    If you have something to discuss, you must come in. Li Qinghe walked sideways and led her in, "What''s the matter?"


    "In the morning, I saw a government officer coming over." She paused when she said that, "Then I heard that the land behind your house was bought by Miss Yu."


    "I wanted to buy that piece of land."


    The wasteland is unowned. Yu Yan first went to the village chief to get the title deed. Now that piece of land belongs to her. To put it ugly, even if there is a weed in it, Yu Yan¡¯s is already written on it. Name.


    Now she just wants it again, as long as Yu Yan doesn''t agree, it''s a vain thought.


    "That''s really unfortunate." Li Qinghe answered casually.


    "That''s it." Yang Lanrou didn''t mean to give up, "I know that you and Miss Yu have a good relationship. Can you help me talk to her and sell me half of it. I will only use it as a foundation. Then I will be with you two A neighbor?"


    The Yang family now lives outside the chicken coop, with an acre of land in the middle of Li Qinghe''s house. If this distance is placed in the village, it will be separated by five or six family members. It is really not a neighbor.


    Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "Does your family have a house?"


    Hearing that, Yang Lanrou blushed, "I''m going to get married, and I want to move back to live when the time comes."


    This brain is sick!


    Some people in the village secretly said that there was something about Li Qinghe and Xu Changjie that they hadn''t mentioned it in the past two years, but Yu Yan...but Xu''s mother had quarreled at the door. If a few of them became neighbors, the rumors might have to surround them all their lives. Up.


    She asked with the last glimmer of hope, "Are you married?"


    Yang Lanrou''s face was even redder, "Well. Chang Jie and I have known each other for several years. If we don''t make a marriage, I''m both sixteen and he''s twenty. Outsiders should gossip. Anyway, we will decide sooner or later."


    Li Qinghe didn''t know what expression to put on his face, Mu Mu said, "Go to Yan''er and say it yourself."


    To herself, she would never want to be neighbors with these two people, of course, Yu Yan should be the same.


    "There is no business that can''t be negotiated in this world." Yang Lanrou looked up and looked at her seriously, "As long as you help me make it, I''m willing to pay you two taels of silver. As for the girl Yu, let me talk about it."


    Looking at it, it is necessary to have that piece of land.


    However, from the memory of the previous life, the Yang family moved to the village after all the mountains and rivers were exhausted this time. They had already bought wasteland and built a house, and the wages were not paid yet. Here they want to buy land and build a house. . Why is she so unbelieving?


    Seeing her appearance, Yang Lanrou coughed lightly, "I really don''t have money now, but I can write IOUs. Write more."


    The handwriting is one hundred taels. What''s the use if you can''t take it out?


    "Sorry." Li Qinghe looked serious, "I don''t earn your money."


    That is to say, she is unwilling to help her match up and ask Yu Yan to discuss.


    Yang Lanrou was disappointed, gritted her teeth, "Five-two?"


    This is even more unreliable. The land at the back is less than two acres, and Yu Yan only spends more than 50. If she finds a middleman, it is only 50%, unless there is a mine below!


    Li Qinghe got up and walked to the gate to open the door. The meaning of seeing off the guests was obvious. It could almost be said that he was driving people.


    Yang Lanrou looked bad, "I''m not telling you, I don''t have to live with you, but I don''t want to be too far away from my parents. They want to spend all of their money on my brother, and tell me frankly. Yes, my dowry is just to choose a piece of land to build a house, and then I don¡¯t care about me, so this money will definitely be given to you..."


    Hearing this, Li Qinghe suddenly felt that no matter how much he co-authored, the Yang family paid the money, so she was so generous. I also want to live close to my natal home to take advantage of it, but it is a good calculation. That''s what it is.


    As for why the Yang family didn''t buy it in advance... Ask the villagers to buy it and write an IOU, and ask the mayor for it, but they won''t recognize it.


    Li Qinghe didn''t want to be her neighbor, and became impatient, "Miss Yang, please."


    Two more days later, Yu Yan asked someone to come and look at the foundation. She planned to start construction after spring plowing in the next year, and she could move in in the second half of next year.


    Building a house is not a matter of one or two days. The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is the twelfth lunar month. Li Qinghe and the two took time to find the butcher in the town, took two pigs away, and the remaining two, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, they found someone to come to their home to kill.


    Killing two at once, because the New Year is approaching, each family bought more than the last time, and in the end most of them were left. If you have leftovers, you can eat by yourself. Li Qinghe had heard of a way to make wind meat, so he bought salted and hung up.


    Then, the two began to fish and sell them again. Throughout the twelfth lunar month, the two of them were very busy. With the happy person, they secretly calculated the money they had made in the past two months. Five pigs, so many fish, and chickens and eggs that have been sold for more than two months. This is the farmer¡¯s, two months have been harvested by others for several years.


    No matter how outsiders guessed, no one asked them in front of them.


    This year¡¯s New Year is the same as last year. Zhou¡¯s mother had told everyone that on the 30th day of the New Year¡¯s Eve, when they went back to eat, Li Qinghe and Zhang Haiyao were still carrying a piece of meat. In addition to tofu, Mei also bought it. A lot of snacks. All of them are almost the same.


    In the kitchen, Li Qinghe is still in charge of the cook. Mei''s stomach is big, and she stood at the door of the kitchen with her waist leaning on her waist. Zhou Mu was very happy today. There was no sour words from Mrs. Liu at the dinner table. Everyone tacitly didn''t mention her. Wumei''s marriage, Zhou Mu said, "It would be nice if the marriage of Wumei could be set next year."


    Wumei''s face was blushing, and everyone was making fun again.


    Just at this moment, Mei got up and went outside. Boss Zhou hurriedly got up, "Want to go to the cottage?"


    Then they helped her out. Everyone didn''t care much when they saw it. They continued to talk and laugh. It didn''t take long before they heard an exclamation from outside, and then Boss Zhou shouted, "Meihua, how are you?" There are women''s painful cries.


    The people in the room glanced at each other, and all rushed out the door.


    It was still in the afternoon, and the sky was still dark. Mei was lying in the yard, and redness gradually turned under him. Zhou Mu saw her, and her complexion changed slightly, "Fourth, you go to pick up her."


    Looking at Zhou Lao San again, "You go to boil water. Let your daughter-in-law look after your child."


    Then I asked Boss Zhou to take her back to the room, and followed closely. The only ones who stayed in the place were Li Qinghe and Wumei. The two looked at each other, "The meal is definitely not enough, let''s take away the dishes. ."


    Fortunately, they were almost eating. The two packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen. The fifth sister boiled water to wash the dishes. After thinking about it, Li Qinghe went to the boss''s house. It''s not that she just didn''t help, but that the house was actually not big, and it was even more delayed when there were more people.


    Mrs. Zhou was the eldest son. At the beginning, he got married and used the old house. Mei didn¡¯t need a dowry, and naturally he didn¡¯t prepare a dowry. He only felt empty when he entered the door. Mei leaned on a chair and directed Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zhou to make the bed. .


    Li Qinghe glanced at it, and saw a pile of new quilts piled on the side, while the mother and son were laying old patched quilts.


    This... afraid of dirtying the quilt?


    She hurriedly stepped forward to help. When she got closer, she heard Zhou''s mother whispering to her son, "What kind of bed? Do you have to make it? Isn''t life more important than this quilt?" The voice was very low, probably because she was afraid that Mei would hear it. To.


    Boss Zhou looked helpless, but did not refute. Li Qinghe suddenly felt that Mei must have laid the quilts. These quilts were all bought by the husband and wife, and she was afraid that they would get dirty. Although she can understand it, she did not start normally. Who knows if the fetal position is correct?


    The movements in their hands accelerated at the moment, and the three of them spread out much faster. After finishing the spread, they helped Mei''s lie down. Seeing the blood under her, Zhou Mu frowned, "Why hasn''t the fourth been here yet?"


    Today during the New Year, the wife is definitely at home, and Zhou Chengkang has already returned with her when she was talking.


    When Po Wen entered the door, Li Qinghe and Boss Zhou were both driven out.


    After a few breaths, Zhou''s mother hurried out, lowering her voice, fearing that the people inside would hear, "Fourth old man, take a carriage to town and pick up a doctor."


    He looked at Boss Zhou again, "Why are you so careless because of a bad fetus?" After a sentence fell, there was no time to continue to blame, and he turned around and walked in.


    Li Qinghe and the two went home first, took the carriage and hurried to town. It was cold at night, and deliberately picked up the doctor Huang who was proficient in women''s pregnancy. When they returned to Zhou''s house, it was dark.


    Mei cried out all night, and it was noon the next day that he gave birth to a thin child. Both mother and child hurt their bodies.


    The child was only a little bit louder, and the cry was faint. Older Zhou¡¯s hands were bigger than him. But as for Mei, it was so easy to save his life. During the period, he used a lot of precious medicinal materials. Probably no longer have children.


    Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe couldn''t go back to sleep at all, so they went back to feed the fish in the morning. The New Year''s Eve of the second year of marriage between them passed.


    After returning, the two of them unloaded the carriage in the yard. Zhou Chengkang looked scared, and tentatively said when he entered the door, "Or... we still don''t give birth?"


    The author has something to say: See you tonight. Thanks to the little angel who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution during 2019-12-0122:11:25~2019-12-0213:48:23~


    Thank you little angel who irrigates nutrient solution: 2 bottles of Yanyu Shengge;


    Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

 Chapter 72： Dumbfounded

    This is just to say, the two were too busy. After returning, they quickly took the prepared gifts and returned to Li''s house. On the first day of the first month, the married daughter had to go back to her natal home for lunch. When the time came, Zhao Wanwan and the Qian family People are cooking in the kitchen.


    Zhou Chengkang went to talk to Li Fu. After the Chinese New Year, when the weather improves, it will be spring ploughing. Weng and son-in-law are still quite talkative.


    In fact, in Li Fu''s mind, Zhou Chengkang''s son-in-law from the farmer family was more in his heart than the son-in-law who would later be a talented man. The first pair of him had different minds. Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe sent back a lot of meat and vegetables throughout the year. They also helped him with work and took him to a small stay. There are no fewer gifts for the holidays. This is the one worn today. The new clothes were the fabric they sent back. It is said that if a married daughter is still filial, it is the son-in-law who finds well, and the son-in-law is also filial.


    Hu Yanxi over there, I lived for more than half a year last year, no matter what the festival, it was nothing, and only started to work with him during the autumn harvest. Li Fu really looked down on the work he did. In fact, after getting along for a long time, scholars are just like that, nothing great. Especially today on the first day of the new year. The two went back yesterday morning. They came back this morning with nothing but nothing.


    Although Li Fu didn''t want their gifts, it would be quite disappointing if there was nothing at all.


    Second, how does Li Fu regard Zhao Wanwan as his biological daughter? From the point of view of blood relationship, it is one step behind. Moreover, most directly, he and Zhou Chengkang have something to say, whether it is about crops in the field or feeding pigs and chickens, or even going up the mountains to chop wood. Sitting with Hu Yanxi, it is easy to be cold. Don''t look at it for nearly a year. When the two talked hard, they didn''t talk to Zhou Chengkang occasionally.


    Li Qinghe went to the kitchen and helped the two of them cook. The Qian''s changed a lot recently, his hands were a lot rougher, and his face became darker. Seeing her come in, he smiled and said, "The food will be fast."


    The mother and daughter did not know what they said and seemed very happy, but when she came in, the atmosphere obviously became colder, "Sister, I heard that Sister Yu is going to build a house behind you and be your neighbor?"


    Li Qinghe nodded, "There is such a thing."


    "Before I guessed who the other girl was cheaper, or what kind of person to recruit, I didn''t expect her to actually..." Qian shook his head, looking indifferent, "Isn''t there anything about Lai Xing? Ok? She just looks down on it? Don''t bully the young man, wait until later, when she regrets it."


    Li Qinghe doesn¡¯t like to hear these words. It¡¯s true that reading is the best way out, but it¡¯s too much investment, and now I¡¯m going to the county town and traveling all day and night. It¡¯s not too far anyway. It takes half a month to go back and forth when I get to the township test. Quite a lot, who can afford it?


    It is not always safe along the way. If you want to be stable, it is best to be in the village.


    Yu Yan''s origins are a mystery, but at a glance, she knows that she came from a big place, and ordinary people can''t learn how to embroider by hand. How can you fall in love with a man who is not even a talent? Not to mention that this man is not sincere to her, it is even more impossible.


    If she doesn''t speak here, Qian can''t go on. "You two will pick a place so you can be neighbors in the future. Is the land on the west side a blessed land? How come the people who move are rich?"


    Zhao Wanwan smiled, "Mother, that''s because when idlers can afford the land, they don''t have the money to clean up."


    The atmosphere was actually quite embarrassing, but fortunately, the food was ready soon. The family sat at the dinner table and the room was warm and warm. Li Fu was very happy and had a drink with his two sons-in-law.


    A few people drank, and they couldn''t remove the dining table for a while. Li Qinghe went to the kitchen to help with cleaning. Zhao Wanwan secretly looked at her several times, "Sister, I heard that you and brother-in-law made a lot last year."


    "Not much." Li Qinghe said casually, "Don''t look at making a lot of money, in fact, you will get some wages if you remove the capital."


    Zhao Wanwan was thoughtful, and sighed in a low voice after a long while, "Chinese New Year was originally a happy day, but I''m worried. Those who go to the county test after a while should set off again. We still don''t know where to get our entanglement. I don¡¯t know if Dad has any money to lend me?"


    It¡¯s not enough to live here all year round, so I want to ask Li Fu for money? If Hu Yanxi''s father is still there, I''m afraid it''s not so good.


    Or... she said in front of her, she couldn¡¯t say she still wanted to borrow money from her, ¡°Your mother-in-law is not a helper in the town, she should have it? Besides, you two don¡¯t need to spend a penny on food and drink. It''s not your turn to worry about this."


    When these words came out, Zhao Wanwan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "If this is admitted, he will be a talented person. If I can''t do anything, how am I embarrassed?"


    The two lived in this country all year round. Although they helped the family with work, Li Fu didn¡¯t want to pay them any wages. No matter how embarrassed they are, they can only take it on their own. The money is earned, not just talking about it. I''m worried.


    Li Qinghe didn''t take the initiative to say that she wanted to borrow money, let alone take the initiative, even if Zhao Wanwan spoke, she didn''t borrow it.


    Hu Yanxi did not pass the exams for so many years to continue his studies. Anyway, he can''t make any money. Who knows when he will be the head? Even sisters, there is no such support method.


    After drinking the wine over there, Li Qinghe said goodbye and left, Zhao Wanwan did not ask her to borrow it.


    The two left Li''s house, and it was getting late. When they passed Zhou''s house, they couldn''t help but went in again to take a look at Mei and the child.


    Mei''s had been nearly two months ahead of schedule, and she hurt herself. Now she has no milk, and she feels a lot more haggard. The child''s small face is not as big as her slap, and she is so hungry that Li Qinghe feels uneasy. I couldn''t help but said, "There are a lot of fish in my pond, let my eldest brother fish some back and make soup for you."


    Mei smiled weakly, "Thank you, I think so too, I will buy it with you then."


    People are so weak that they are still thinking about giving money. Li Qinghe waved his hand, "You can sleep a little longer, I''ll talk about it later."


    After that day, Boss Zhou came to fish for a catty of fish every day to make the soup, and within two days he heard that he had breastfeeding.


    After breastfeeding, the child can live.


    In the first month of this year, there was a lot of rain, and it continued until the end of the first month. Everyone who wanted to plow in spring had to take the rain to remove the grass, and work was a lot slower. Li Fu was not in a hurry. Last year, he took his family to dig through all the fields. One winter passed and there were not many weeds, so he could plant them with just a few minutes.


    Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe had eight acres of land, and both were wasteland that had just been planted for a year or two. The weeds grew wildly. Depending on the words of the two of them, they had to work for many days to clean up. Both of them have hired people for the past two years, but if they want to hire people this year, I''m afraid they can''t. Even if the villagers want to earn money, they are doing their own work. The dealers are the most important. Or the harvest in the field. If the seeds don¡¯t go down, what are the two days¡¯ wages enough to do?


    Moreover, Li Qinghe was afraid that she could not work if she wanted to work. At the end of the first month, she always felt sick, so she went to the town to find a doctor for a pulse, and she was pregnant.


    At that time, Zhou Chengkang''s complexion changed rapidly from surprise to shock, and then tentatively asked, "Doctor, if you lose your baby, will you hurt your body?"


    On weekdays, Zhou Chengkang would occasionally help the villagers to pick up the doctor. On the New Year¡¯s Day, Mei gave birth to the doctor, or he came to pick it up. Everyone knows it. Doctor Huang looked inexplicable at the time, ¡°Why did you lose your baby? No children yet?"


    Then I remembered the injury he had asked, and combined with Mei''s life of almost nine deaths, it was instantly clear, "The abortion is also very hurt. It is not more than giving birth to a child, so let''s raise it well."


    It is dangerous to have a baby, and it is also dangerous to not have a baby. On the way back, the horse took a walk, not to mention running, especially when he refused to let Li Qinghe sit in front, saying that he was afraid of falling.


    At this time, Zhou Chengkang can''t take care of the land anymore. Anyway, fish farming can make a living. Let this year pass. Many people feel that Li Qinghe¡¯s wasteland has been planted year after year, and even when Zhou Chengkang himself thought so, the coachman with a knife who came last year came again this year.


    Originally, Zhou Chengkang didn''t plan to continue planting the land. At this time, Lin Zhixian came to the door to show him that it was still to be planted. So he moved out the sweet potatoes that existed in the cellar last year and buried them in the ground as densely as last year.


    Lin Zhixian looked at the eight acres of land full of weeds and asked, "I heard that you deliberately dug out wide and narrow rows for growing barley last year, leaving a place to grow sweet potatoes?"


    "Yes." Zhou Chengkang nodded, "It''s just that this year I''m afraid it will be impossible. The people in the village have not finished planting the land yet. We can''t hire anyone. If my wife is pregnant and can''t go to the land, I have to take care of her..."


    Lin Zhixian''s expression was solemn, "I want people to emulate you and plant for a year. How can you be convinced if you don''t plant it?"


    Looking at Li Qinghe who was standing on the side, Zhou Chengkang carefully guarded it. It was indeed a difficult person to let the two people plant eight acres of land. He thought about it for a while and said, "I''m looking for someone to help you plant.


    Li Qinghe was stunned, if they could, of course it would be better.


    So, two days later, in a rare good weather, a group of people entered the village violently and went straight to the wasteland early in the morning, dozens of people, within a day, all eight acres of land were turned over and planted with barley. People said that the reserved place will come back when the sweet potatoes are planted.


    It''s definitely coming. What''s so strange about growing wheat? The way to grow sweet potatoes is the most important.


    When a group of people left, when the villagers came home in the evening, they couldn''t help but come over and take a look. They could plant such a large plot in half a day without having to do it by themselves, which made people jealous.


    The author has something to say: See you at two tomorrow afternoon. Good night everyone ¡ú_¡ú

 Chapter 73： abuse

    After the land is planted, Zhou Chengkang can put his mind on his wife even more. Every day, he has to make soup, either fish soup or chicken soup. Every meal must have meat. The meals are made by him. Li Qinghe is the best way to go.


    However, Zhou''s family and Li Fu are very busy. Zhou Chengkang has to go to work. Especially this year, Zhou''s boss will also take care of the children and sell tofu, especially during spring ploughing and autumn harvesting because of the tiring work in the fields. Some people are very willing to buy a piece of tofu to eat.


    At this time, it is also the most profitable time to sell tofu. There used to be Mei, after he sent the tofu to town, he came back to the field by himself. Originally there was not much land, so it could be planted, but this year is different. Mei''s is going to take a child, plus she is weak, and she has not been raised yet. Let alone making tofu, it is already strong to help with cooking. Hold on.


    So, Zhou Lao Dadi simply didn''t want the harvest and sold tofu directly.


    How could Zhou Mu see her own land empty, so she took it and planted it. Then, she could do more work alone. It didn''t matter if she planted it. Zhou Chengkang couldn''t always watch her own mother so tired, right?


    So, after feeding the chicken and fish in the house every day and preparing the meal, he went to the field.


    Li Fu''s side is the same, too busy.


    But no matter how busy Zhou Chengkang is, Zhou Chengkang will come back to cook for his wife. Zhou''s mother didn''t say anything, so she discussed with Zhou Chengkang, "Why don''t you let the fifth sister do it? You don''t have to run around under the sun."


    "No." Zhou Chengkang refused.


    Zhou''s mother didn''t say anything anymore. There was indeed something wrong. People who were pregnant would not be able to cook, especially now that they are still busy in farming. If the son wants to cook by himself, it is also a good relationship for a young couple. She asked Wumei to do the calculation?


    It would be nice to help.


    There was no one to help Li Fu. More than that, he and Qian were the ones who used to take the big heads, but it rained when it was getting dark one day, and there was only a little corner of the land, so he let Qian first went back, and then went back after finishing that point in the rain.


    As a result, Li Fu became ill and developed a high fever. Li Qinghe would know that Qian''s still came to her in the middle of the night to ask for a doctor.


    The couple quickly got up, set a carriage and went to Li''s house. Li Qinghe didn''t go to the town, and went straight in to see Li Fu. However, Zhou Chengkang drove to the town to find a doctor without getting out of the carriage.


    Li Fu was indeed sick. He closed his eyes tightly on the bed, his forehead was hot, and his condition was dangerous. The doctor came very quickly. After taking the pulse, he sighed, "Too tired and exhausted. When the high fever subsides, he should wake up and take care of it. Don¡¯t be tired anymore."


    There is no danger, people are fine, but the work in the ground... You can''t be too tired, and naturally you can''t go to the ground.


    Zhou Chengkang had finished planting Zhou Mu''s land. It was mid-February, Li Fu had been recuperating, and the weeds in the ground had grown.


    On this day, Qian came again and said, "Qinghe, go back and persuade your father, he must go to the field."


    Li Qinghe sighed and hurried back to Li''s house. Li Fu had changed his clothes. "Father, the doctor said that you should keep it well. What if you get sick again?"


    Li Fu lost a lot of weight. "But if you don''t do it in the field, what will you eat next year?"


    At this time, some people in the village had already finished planting their fields. Li Qinghe thought for a while, "I''ll find someone to help you do it. I''ll pay for it. Okay?"


    Somehow he pushed the person back.


    When Li Fu was seriously ill, Lin Zhixian brought people again. This time he saw the crowd pinch the sweet potato seedlings and plant them into the ground. More people came, even more than the last time. The planting was completed in one day, and basically no seedlings were left. The people who came were farmers from all over the county. After helping to plant it for a day, I knew in my heart. It is said that 50% of the people who grow sweet potatoes in the county this year.


    This is already a lot, and you know, there were not many sweet potatoes that grew last year.


    Like Li Qinghe, there are so many plants, none of the ten.


    When Lin Zhixian came back this year, everyone paid attention to the movement of his home. When people came to watch her bury sweet potatoes, 30% of the people in the village quietly went to the town to buy a few back to bury them. For example, Li Qingmiao and her mother still went to Li Qinghe to buy sweet potatoes, and He''s also went to buy some back.


    Later, I saw so many people coming to help grow barley. It was the same as last year. Many people also dig out wide and narrow rows. The farmers are still very capable of imitating, especially last year Li Qinghe asked someone to come back to help dig it and taught them personally. How to dig, now seeing the pinch of sweet potato seedlings to plant, everyone is surprised that if this can live, it will really save seeds.


    There were no tricks, and everyone quickly learned it.


    They learned to go, and Li Qinghe''s sweet potatoes have also been planted.


    After finishing the work in the field, Zhou Chengkang ran to help Zhou¡¯s mother for two days. Zhou¡¯s land was planted. On Li Fu¡¯s side, Li Qinghe still asked someone to help him plant sweet potato seedlings. Of course, the seedlings were from her sweet potato. The second pinch.


    When planting sweet potatoes, Li Fu was still worried. He ran to the field and watched for a long time. Since he was inviting people, he asked for more, but he planted them all in two or three days.


    When people are invited, they cook for people at noon, and Qian stays at home to cook.


    In fact, she has never cooked food for so many people in so many years. Anyway, it can fill up her stomach when cooked, and the taste is just average. Fortunately, the farmers don''t force this.


    After the hustle and bustle, the villagers got free. At this time in previous years, Zhou Chengkang only had to go up the mountain to hunt and chop wood. But this year, he spent most of his thoughts in the kitchen, guarding Li Qinghe all day for fear of her falling.


    After the spring ploughing, blue bricks have been moved to Yu Yan''s field, and a dozen people have been invited to start construction.


    The little white-faced Min Rui, who was rescued by her, finally went out and put on an old patched coat. He came here every day to build a house with everyone. Don¡¯t look at him as thin, especially strong and not bad at work. Strong labor.


    Yu Yan sometimes came over to deliver water, Li Qinghe occasionally went over to see it, and happened to run into her to deliver water to Min Rui. The two got along freely and got close, it looked like they were about to get married.


    Yu Yan greeted everyone to drink water, saw her standing aside, and walked over with a smile, "Why didn''t brother stay with you today Thursday?"


    Li Qinghe laughed, "Why do you stay with him? He was nervous at first, and it will be better after a long time." Looking at Min Rui over there, he smiled and asked, "You really decided to marry him?"


    "It''s pretty good." Yu Yan nodded, "I can''t find anyone better-looking than him. When I move over, I will start my marriage. I wanted to move in to be a neighbor with you a long time ago, you don''t know. At home, apart from talking to the dry food godfather, I can only quarrel with his nephews, nephews and daughters-in-law."


    Li Qinghe chuckled, "If you get used to being noisy and you move here, you won''t have to be noisy."


    "Who said no?" Yu Yan gritted her teeth and looked over there, she seemed very angry. Seeing that her expression was not fake, she followed her line of sight, and then Li Qinghe saw that Yang Lanrou smiled and carried the buns over to greet everyone. , And sent it to Min Rui specially, with a small smile and gentle eyes.


    The point is, Yu Yan is not suitable to come forward at this time. People kindly greet the people she invited to eat steamed buns. What''s the matter if the host rushes to get angry?


    Seeing her about to come forward, Li Qinghe put her arm around her, "Don''t be angry." At this moment, she will only appear stingy.


    Min Rui over there didn''t take Yang Lanrou''s buns, and worked on his own, ignoring her at all.


    Upon seeing this, Yu Yan didn''t go, mainly Li Qinghe was holding her, she didn''t struggle well, it''s not a joke if she wrestled with someone. Seeing that Yang Lanrou couldn''t hold her smile, the corners of her mouth faintly twitched, "I count him as acquaintance." He said bitterly, "Just like that, I ran to buy land and want to build a house. This kind of woman lives next door, I I''m afraid I can''t eat the food. I''m going to vomit to death.


    It is Yang Lanrou.


    Li Qinghe couldn''t help but said, "It''s very strange, why is she staring at us?"


    "Can''t you understand that simple mind?" Yu Yan looked helpless, "I didn''t see that young men in the village, whether married or unmarried, had a good attitude towards her. On Thursday, my brother was indifferent to her. Of course, now Add a Min Rui."


    Speaking of the last sentence, the tone was a little smug.


    Li Qinghe was dumb, and it is true that she is a girl in the town. The Yang family used to be very rich, a wealth that these people in the village could not imagine. Now the noble girl comes to her, speaking softly, and does not look down on people. Saying that a man is a woman, I can''t help but feel sorry for it.


    If she didn''t have a grudge with Yang Lanrou herself, and someone kindly sent food to the door, she would not turn away.


    Min Rui refused. Yang Lanrou chased him twice but was rejected. She shook her head reluctantly. She saw the two here in a blink of an eye and smiled, "I have made too many buns. You can try it and try my craft. ."


    "I don''t like eating steamed buns." Yu Yan folded her arms in a cold tone.


    Li Qinghe also waved his hand, "I just finished the soup and I can''t eat it. Besides..." She smiled, "Ms. Yang also knows that my family doesn''t like to eat buns."


    Yang Lanrou frowned, "Are you misunderstanding me?"


    "No misunderstanding." Yu Yan said calmly, "It''s just that I don''t like you. Girl Yang is really generous, and she made buns to give people away. But can you not send them to the place where I built the house? Don''t you feel ashamed?"


    The author has something to say: See you tonight. Thanks to the little angel who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution during 2019-12-0222:16:41~2019-12-0313:48:26~


    Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: 5 bottles of Guo Xiaotu;


    Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

 Chapter 74： Meal money

    Yu Yan''s words were not polite, she didn''t give the slightest face, she still felt that she wasn''t enough, and continued, "Also, you can send buns to anyone in the future, you can''t send them to Min Rui."


    "It''s so easy to have two men who treat you well. You are not over yet. You have to be satisfied if all the men in the world are enamoured of you?"


    No matter how careful Yang Lanrou thinks, she is just a sixteen-year-old girl. She was so unceremoniously said that she had never had it since she was a child. When her eyes were red, she would cry. Yu Yan frowned." It¡¯s more effective to keep these tears back to your father, your brother, and your fianc¨¦ to cry. I am hard-hearted, this trick is useless to me."


    Yang Lanrou looked at Li Qinghe, "Miss Li..."


    "It''s useless to me." Li Qinghe is not polite, "Don''t send any buns to my house in the future. I can still afford rhubarb."


    It means that sending buns is also to help the dog, and the dog does not need her to help.


    Yang Lanrou''s tears fell, "I really don''t have those nasty thoughts, I just want to be friends with you."


    "I don''t want to be friends with you." Li Qinghe said in a serious tone, "In fact, if I could, I would never want to see you for the rest of my life."


    Yang Lanrou was taken aback, met her serious eyes, and couldn''t help asking, "Where did I offend you?"


    Innocent eyes.


    When Li Qinghe had only one breath left in the wood house, Yang Lanrou looked at her innocently with tears like this, with pity in her eyes, "I''m sorry, I don''t want it either."


    She blinked her eyes back to her senses, "Anyway, I just can''t understand you. I won''t show up in front of me in the future, or I will scold him. You have to come to the door after the buns are fed to the dog. Do you want to be shameless?"


    Yang Lanrou still didn''t move. Looking behind them, Li Qinghe turned around suspiciously, and saw Zhou Chengkang approaching with two sweet potatoes and handing them to her and Yu Yan, "Eat while it''s hot, I just turned and baked it in the cellar. Only these good ones are left."


    Yu Yan chuckled, took the sweet potato, and pulled Li Qinghe with a smile, "The sun is so big now, let''s go back."


    Then, the three of them really left, Zhou Chengkang did not look back at her from start to finish.


    Back in the yard, Yu Yan ate sweet potatoes, "When I get out of the ground, I will plant a little bit, and I will follow you to raise chickens, at least I have eggs to eat."


    Still thinking a lot.


    Yu Yan invited a lot of people. At the end of March, the house was completed, and the tall blue brick courtyard wall was built like Li Qinghe. The layout is similar. From this, it can be seen that she is not bad for money.


    Mei''s body gradually improved, because there is no shortage of meat and fish, she has plenty of milk, and the baby is well raised. Three months later, she is almost the same as a three-month-old child from another family. She has fish soup every day these days. Drink, I am very grateful to Li Qinghe, because Boss Zhou is busy buying tofu, and when she is free, she comes over to fish by herself.


    She hugged the baby, watched Li Qinghe help her fish for her, and said with a smile, "Mother said, two days later, someone will come to see Wumei again."


    Also, the fifth sister is not young anymore, so after she is busy with spring ploughing, she has to look at each other.


    For the fifth sister, Li Qinghe still feels good, "Which village is it this time?"


    Mei''s smile narrowed, "I heard that it was from Liucun, and I was once a neighbor with me."


    Then she should know some personality, Li Qinghe smiled and asked, "How about that personality?"


    "Unfamiliar." Mei''s shook his head, "I used to be at home, and the villagers hadn''t gotten up in the morning. When I came back at night, I fell asleep early. The vegetable plots are in the backyard. Don''t look at me for two years. I can¡¯t know more people. I know, they have a lot of homes."


    The land is the root of the villagers¡¯ family, and it¡¯s very helpless to say it. When you look at them, you can ask them how much land. In fact, the more land there is, it proves that it will be very hard for your daughter to marry in the past. Hungry, sometimes I don¡¯t have to do it.


    This time, Zhou''s mother called Li Qinghe back as usual. When the two arrived, Zhou''s mother hadn''t come over there yet. Zhou''s mother looked at her belly and looked happier and said, "Be careful. Good thing, eat more meat and fish. Be careful when you get older in the next month. Look at your sister-in-law, the child was born too young, and that was strenuous and almost impossible to feed."


    The key is that Mei''s life will only have this one child. As long as Zhou Boss does not marry another, he will only have this seedling in this life. If it is gone, he can really only be like the three aunts and his wife.


    There is no child, and I always regret it. In a farmer¡¯s family, there is no one to serve when there are no children, no one to do funeral affairs after death, and no one to inherit the family business earned. Anyway, people now value children.


    This word happened to be heard by Mei, with her head down, there was no refutation.


    However, she must be uncomfortable in her heart, but Zhou''s mother frankly said, "Mei Hua, don''t be upset. I''m telling the truth. If you are pregnant, you have to be careful. No matter who it is, I always say that, my own. Take care of yourself, no matter what great things happen to you, you can¡¯t get too excited. When I had a fifth sister, your father went there.¡±


    Several people glanced at each other, completely speechless, Zhou''s father really went there when Zhou''s mother was pregnant with the fifth sister.


    "More than that, at that time..." Zhou Mu sighed and stopped talking.


    Li Qinghe knew that at that time, Zhou Chengkang was taken to the mountains by the eldest and the third, and was lost, and he asked the villagers to look for it.


    "People are coming." Boss Zhou opened the curtain and came in. Zhou''s mother heard the words and greeted him with a smile.


    The remaining Li Qinghe looked at each other, and finally went out.


    The visitor was similar to the last time He Chu, the young man and his mother, and a matchmaker.


    This time it was a specially invited matchmaker. When someone came in, Wumei brought tea and was sent to the yard.


    The woman was in her forties, her maiden name was Liu, her eyes were picky, she watched Wu Mei disappear from the door, and smiled, "Is this five sister sixteen this year?"


    "Yes." Mother Zhou smiled gently, "I have this daughter, who is usually very painful and never goes to the ground, but the fifth sister is sensible and never let me reach out for these things at home. In my life, just wait for her I¡¯m at ease when I¡¯m married."


    The meaning of this is very obvious. It is said that Wumei can''t do the work in Wumei''s field, and will clean up the housework. I hope the woman in front of me will treat Wumei the same way.


    Liu smiled a little, "I also have a daughter, and I want to raise it, but my family has so much land, I can¡¯t be too busy. I harvest two thousand catties in autumn every year. My eldest daughter-in-law is my niece, and she just came in. For the autumn harvest, I took off my wedding clothes and went to work. The spring ploughing rained a few days ago, and I got sick when I came back..."


    My daughter-in-law is busy getting sick, who would dare to marry a daughter-in-law?


    At this point, this marriage is actually impossible.


    Sure enough, the Liu family soon said goodbye, Xi Po also noticed that Zhou''s mother sent them out by herself.


    The fifth sister came in from outside, Li Qinghe smiled and asked, "How?"


    "He seems to be very caring, but his mother doesn''t agree, so what else to say?" He didn''t feel sad or sad.


    After Zhou Mu entered the door, she sighed, "Come slowly and look again."


    In April, Li Fu finally recovered from his illness. He hasn''t been cutting wood for the past two years. Recently, he has chopped wood every day, and he even caught two of Li Qinghe''s chickens. It can be seen that he is looking forward to the baby in his daughter''s belly.


    Even if he chopped wood, he held Qian to go up the mountain together.


    At the end of April, there was news from the county town that Qian Laixing had passed the exam.


    There have been no talents in Luoyue Town for many years, and You''s very happy. As soon as the news there arrived, she told each family that on April 28, her family had a banquet, and everyone would be happy.


    For the villagers, Qian Laixing was selected as a talent, but for the Qian family, it was a big happy event. Even the Qian family was too excited, and came here with Li Fu the next morning. When I came to see Zhou Chengkang to go up the mountain with him, he smiled and said, "My sister-in-law is happy now. After so many years, I finally got hit. After all these years, I have been waiting for his brother to make up for him."


    Actually, she was the only one who was happy. Li Qinghe, including Li Fu, didn''t have the feeling that she was a very close person as a talented person. After all, everyone is not familiar with it.


    After going out and seeing Yu Yan''s new house behind Li Qinghe''s house, Qian couldn''t help but said, "The other day, Miss Yu didn''t agree to this marriage."


    Li Qinghe dared to say that even if he didn''t have Min Rui, Yu Yan would not agree, "Is the brother-in-law who Wanwan hit?"


    Hearing that, Qian''s smile narrowed, and he sighed, "Fortune is not good." He was happy again, "But it''s coming to the stars. Let him give some pointers. It will definitely be a hit next year."


    She was happy over there. Li Fu looked at her a few times and said, "You also know that this year''s land was cultivated by Qinghe, and her harvest will score half of the time. They want to come back and live, but there is no food to eat. It¡¯s fine to live, and I¡¯ll give three coins a month."


    Qian''s smile stiffened, "Are you kidding? Qinghe helped you plant the land and didn''t want to ask you to harvest. That''s your daughter honoring you, right?"


    In the last sentence, she looked at Li Qinghe and asked.


    Li Fu stepped up the mountain, his feet steady, "I gave out two dowries at the beginning, and I can''t point to a daughter as a filial piety. Wanwan has been married for so long, and I haven''t seen any clothes, but I came back to eat for half a year. This dad, thinks he has done well enough!"


    "If you want to come back to eat, you must pay for the meal!"


    The author has something to say: See you tomorrow afternoon.

 Chapter 75： drought

    I have to say that Li Qinghe felt very happy when she heard her father say this.


    Although subsidizing him did not want him to return, it was still quite clear to not use her subsidy to help Zhao Wanwan.


    The Qian was silent all the way until he entered the woods. Zhou Chengkang saw a splash of color flying over there with sharp eyes, and he chased him with a bow and arrow. He did not forget to say, "Qinghe, wait here. I."


    Li Fu recently saw this battle with his son-in-law, and now he couldn''t help chasing after him.


    Only Qian Laoshi and her were left in the same place.


    Li Qinghe found a place to sit down, the pheasant ran fast, and it only took a while if he could catch it, and he should be back soon.


    "Do you hate me?" Qian looked at her.


    "No hate." Li Qinghe said casually.


    Qian didn''t believe it, "I grabbed your mother''s position, would you not hate me?"


    "I didn''t target you again." Li Qinghe raised his eyes and looked at her, "When did I deliberately feel sorry for you?"


    Qian was dumb, not entangled in this issue, and said, "Your father will take care of Wanwan and Wanwan, and it will be good for him. If Yanxi is a talented talent, he will definitely not forget your father''s benefits."


    "Daughters are unreliable, and still want to rely on son-in-law, where do you have confidence?" Li Qinghe sneered, "My father is supported by me, and there is no lack of his filial piety. Similarly, it is his business that my father is happy to take care of them. If he is unwilling and you still want to be embarrassed, then I will not let you go."


    The words were a bit sloppy, but Qian understood him, "You mean, don''t agree with them coming back?"


    When the words fell, the Weng and Son-in-law over there had already rushed back. Li Fu held a colorful pheasant in his hand and laughed, "Chengkang said, keep this chicken for yourself."


    Li Qinghe smiled and said, "Very good."


    Qian stopped talking. She seemed to not speak on purpose. Occasionally Li Fu asked about it, but she didn''t answer. Anyway, as I personally knew, she was angry right now.


    Li Fu talked to her twice, but she still ignored it, and didn''t talk to her. When the firewood was cut, a few people went home together. At the foot of the mountain, Li Qinghe said, "Father, do you want to eat pheasant? Go back again."


    Li Fu responded with a smile, but Qian did not turn his head back, and went straight to the village.


    She left her, Li Qinghe didn''t call her, and Zhou Chengkang wouldn''t care anymore. Li Fu looked at her back, snorted, and walked in another direction with his daughter carrying the firewood.


    The pheasant is stewed. Li Qinghe¡¯s craftsmanship is very good. Weng and Son-in-law also brought out wine and talked a lot. They drank until it got late outside before they were finished. Li Fu went back by himself. Do not move.


    He was a little drunk, and the two of them would be worried when they went back alone. Zhou Chengkang sent him back and helped him to bed.


    When he came back, Li Qinghe was still feeding the fish at the door, smiling and asking, "Aunt Qian is still angry?"


    Zhou Chengkang took the fish feed in her hand and shook her head, "I''m not at home, Daddy is asleep, don''t worry."


    In the following days, Qian still went to chop wood every day, but no longer talked to Li Qinghe and the others, and occasionally asked, she just gave up. As expected, Zhao Wanwan and the two came back. Perhaps they had heard about the payment of cash and returned to town the next day.


    There were only two people left at home, and Qian became silent. Li Qinghe asked, even at home with Li Fu, she was also silent like this.


    Although she didn''t talk to Li Fu, Li Fu would be uncomfortable, but she should not be well.


    Gradually in mid-May, Li Qinghe¡¯s belly has slightly bulged. The weather this year is a bit different. There will be a few rains at this time in previous years. From February to the present, there are really only a few drops of rain. The rain that drenched the ground, that is, the water source in her yard was much smaller. In the paddy fields, the water dries quickly. Li Fu usually doesn''t need to go to the fields often, and this year he will go once every two or three days.


    More intuitively, the small river in the village where clothes are washed has dried up a lot.


    That river is not just washing clothes, all the paddy fields of each house rely on the river. The fields dry quickly, and the villagers will block the water into the fields. As a result, the originally wide river is only a little bit of water left. Once it is flowing, the clothes can be washed directly in it before, but now if they are put directly, the clothes can directly touch the stones and soil in the water.


    The elderly in the village all said that it was drought this year.


    Drought will definitely affect the harvest in the field. Many people are worried. Fortunately, the sweet potato vines planted this year are still growing well. Li Qinghe is dividing the plants and cutting out the excess and returning it to dry. The people in the village will follow suit and cut back. Of course, I want to put them in the sun and feed them to pigs and chickens in the winter.


    The weather is hot and the sun is scorching the earth. Going to the woods to chop wood can give you some shade. Under the heat, except for those who go out to do part-time jobs at this time in previous years, everyone else can take a break and wait for the autumn harvest, but this year I feel particularly anxious. , I went up to the mountain to chop wood when nothing happened, and the price of food in the town began to rise.


    Upon seeing this, Li Qinghe went to the town especially with Zhou Chengkang and bought enough food for the two to eat for a year. One price a day, and on the third day after the two bought them, Yu Yan especially asked Zhou Chengkang to help her pull a car, and the price went up by two cents.


    The food was placed directly in her new house, and Yu Yan frowned, "I''ll move now."


    Although she was in a hurry, Li Qinghe also agreed that it would be better for her to move first. She lives here. In fact, after digging a road from her chicken coop to the wasteland, she can go to the town directly from the door of Yang''s house without passing by the village. On, so, if you want to prepare something to put at home, you won''t let the villagers see it.


    At the beginning of June, Yu Yan was happy to move, and many people came. Even if she has a lot of silver, the dishes are not very good. Compared with the people in the village, she is not reluctant, but the third aunt will not let it. The wheat in the field and the rice seedlings in the field have withered this year. The reduction in production is certain. If you can''t eat it for everyone until next year, it''s still a matter of two. At this time, you shouldn''t let people know that you are rich.


    After Yu Yan moved, she went back to town and bought a horse with a carriage. Fortunately, the various circles in her backyard were already prepared. Recently busy cleaning up the vegetable field.


    The soil is deserted. After more than a month of drying, the **** can''t dig at all. It''s quite hard anyway. Besides, there is no water on her side.


    In fact, many people in the village get their water from the well at the entrance of the village, and less than 30% of the people dig a well at home.


    And moving here to live here is not just to spend money on the land and the house, it also costs a lot of money to drill a well. After Yu Yan asked Min Rui to pick water for a few days, she felt very inconvenient, and she had to save water. She gritted her teeth and asked someone to start drilling a well.


    Although the two are neighbors, it still feels a bit far away to carry water.


    Another inconvenience is that she and Min Rui were not married yet. When she moved in, Min Rui also moved in, which is equivalent to unmarried orphans living in a courtyard. You don''t need to ask to know her reputation in the village now.


    "I still have to get married." Yu Yan looked bitter, "I didn''t expect to spend money like this, and I will run out of money."


    Buying a carriage with a good carriage will cost about 50 cents. When I just built the house, I needed money everywhere. Li Qinghe also spent a lot of money at the beginning. He laughed and said, "It''s all right after getting married."


    Yu Yan began to prepare for the wedding again, and the wedding date was set at the end of June.


    Recently, many people in the village have stayed in the fields all day long. Sooner or later, they ran to the creek to pick up water to pour the wheat, but they still couldn¡¯t prevent it from drying up. The land near the water was a little better, more like Liqinghe. In that way, the seedlings quickly dried into hay. The sweet potato vines among the hay are still green even though they are dead.


    Not only Luoyue Town, but also the county seat, there are many places where there is drought. Li Qinghe will know that it is because Linzhi County is here again.


    When he came this time, there was no smile on his already serious complexion. He came quickly and walked quickly, not just looking at Li Qinghe''s land, but also in the village.


    When Yu Yan got married, more people came from the village. When helping to prepare vegetables, she could not help but talk about this year''s drought. When she mentioned this, everyone began to sigh.


    "I''m afraid that people will starve to death next year."


    "The last drought was more than ten years ago. At that time, many people starved to death. The bark on the mountain was gnawed, and the roots of the grass were dug out and boiled..."


    This is still a happy event, I feel that everyone is not in high spirits.


    When Yu Yan married, she herself was very happy, and did not go to greet her, but when she arrived at Jishi, she went to worship with Min Rui.


    The child in Li Qinghe''s stomach has already begun to move, and Zhou Chengkang will feel the movement when he is free every day. The worry is real, but the expectation for this child is also real.


    It''s too hot outside, and Zhou Chengkang won''t let her go out. But he was busy with things. The water in the pond was getting less and less, and the fish in the pond were too tightly packed.


    In this situation, going to the town is definitely not easy to sell. If you can''t watch it die and hit your hand, you have to go to the county.


    This time, Li Qinghe did not go to the county seat. It was inconvenient for her to hold her belly. Zhou Chengkang had to go by herself. After Yu Yan knew, the two of them packed up and went with him. She embroidered some delicate embroidery herself. Although the town knew the goods, But she couldn''t sell the price, she wanted to go to the county to try.


    They left in the morning, and Li Qinghe was the only one left at home. Zhou Chengkang was not worried. He had found Wumei to accompany her earlier.


    In the middle of the night, several people sneaked up on the pond of the new house.


    The author has something to say: See you tonight.

 Chapter 76： Back again

    A fierce dog barking sounded, Li Qinghe opened his eyes, and the fifth sister beside him also woke up, "What''s wrong?"


    Li Qinghe got up and got up, and the fifth sister was busy getting dressed, "Sister-in-law, is there a thief? Don''t go, let me see."


    The two opened the door together. There was no one in the yard under the moonlight. The rhubarb at the door howled at the outside. Li Qinghe saw it, and it was faint. Her pond was outside the courtyard wall, and the rhubarb was also fed in the yard. Feeling tempted by her fish, she picked up the pole, the fifth sister hid in a hurry, and gave her a firewood, "This is relatively light."


    When you opened the door, you saw the figure at the pond. Hearing the sound of the door opening, the figure ran away, and Rhubarb ran out to catch up.


    Li Qinghe didn''t chase. She is pregnant now and can''t run too fast. Let alone not stealing, she won''t chase if things are really stolen. Nothing is as important as your body.


    When I walked to the pond, there was nothing but a pool of water trails, but an extra fishing net was soaked in the water. There were a dozen fish in it. It shouldn''t have time to drag it.


    She put away the fishing nets. The fifth sister over there had already walked around the pond. Nothing else, Li Qinghe put away the fishing nets and turned around to enter the door.


    Neither of them fell asleep in the middle of the night. I got up early the next morning to cook and eat. After the meal, Wu Mei hurried back, and soon she brought Zhou Mu over.


    Mother Zhou looked worried, "Did you get a thief last night?"


    Seeing her worries, Li Qinghe felt warm in her heart and smiled, "It''s okay, when the rhubarb called, they ran away."


    "How can this be all right? Your stomach..." Zhou''s mother turned twice, "Tonight you go back to your hometown to sleep, I''ll show you here."


    Li Qinghe didn''t want to go back to Zhou''s house to sleep, and said, "I recognize the bed and can''t sleep after changing the bed."


    Mother Zhou was dumb, "I will come over that night too."


    This is ok, so many houses anyway.


    After this day, Zhou¡¯s mother and Wumei both lived here at night. The water in the pond was much less than in previous years. During the day, Zhou¡¯s mother looked at the pond and sighed, "Yesterday I heard the boss say that the town Of the several wells, only one still has water, and the others are all dry."


    "Our village is still considered good. There is still water to drink. I heard that in other counties, let alone laundry, there is no water to drink. This year is particularly dry. The price of beans and tofu have also risen. If you don''t eat it, you can''t sell it now. I told him not to go tomorrow."


    Living in Wangcun, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on outside, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be so serious.


    This time, Zhou Chengkang went back and forth as before. It took five days to go back and forth. After hearing that he had been robbed on the first night at home, he became cautious, sent away Zhou Mu and others, and took her into his arms. Not going. If something happens to you, I..."


    Li Qinghe didn''t think he would have an accident, and smiled, "With rhubarb, the courtyard wall is so high, they can''t get in."


    "In the future, I won''t be separated from you again." Zhou Chengkang said earnestly, "Next year I will sell fish. Either I will bring you with my child, or the fish... will not be sold or raised."


    Li Qinghe remembered something, "How is the fish selling?" Now everything is increasing in price, and fish should also increase in price.


    "Forty wen per catty." Zhou Chengkang sighed slightly, "We didn''t go to the town to see. The uncle who sold fish in the town has long stopped selling it. It''s not easy to sell here. The water in the pond over there is dry. Many fish are not raised, and the price increase is inevitable. Even forty wen per catty, there are not many fish in the market in the county."


    Is it so difficult?


    "Also, when I came back just now, I ran into Wanwan and them on the road and asked me to give them a ride. It was said that there was no water in the town and I wanted to come back to live." He said, only to remember that he was full of fishy smell. , Went into the kitchen to boil water and plan to wash.


    He carried the bucket to the source, and said, "On the other side of the county seat, there are two wells on the same street. You have to queue for water, and you have to get up in the middle of the night."


    Li Qinghe leaned on his waist and followed him all the way.


    "You bought the land well at the beginning." Zhou Chengkang fetched water and watched the water continuously popping up from the ground. He joked, "I have taken advantage of you, or else I have to fetch water to eat."


    The well in Zhou¡¯s yard was dry, and Li Fu¡¯s was basically out of water. They had to line up at the entrance of the village to pick it up. The village was okay. The village chief looked at it, and it didn¡¯t get messy for a while.


    This year¡¯s drought has become like this. In fact, many people don¡¯t have much food in their homes. Now it is the time when there is no harvest. In previous years, they can still look forward to the harvest in the fields. The most said thing is: wait for the autumn harvest.


    But this year, the reduction in grain production is inevitable. Fortunately, there are sweet potatoes in the ground. Although the seedlings are half dead, the sweet potatoes in the ground grow up day by day.


    Li Qinghe was walking in the yard. Zhou Chengkang washed it out. It was full of water vapor. He suggested, "Should we also use brick walls to enclose the pond outside?"


    Now the people outside are about to fight because the water in the small river enters the paddy field. At this time, the action is too big to surround the pond, but to remind people that there is water here, Li Qinghe thought for a while and said, "After a while."


    The two of them were cooking together and talking for a while. When someone knocked on the door outside, Li Qinghe thought it was Zhou''s mother. They have come to pick up water these days. They are far away, but there is no need to queue at the entrance of the village.


    Opening the door, I saw a very surprising person, who was actually the village chief.


    Li Qinghe asked him to enter the door sideways, "San Ye, why are you here?"


    The village head entered the yard, turned his back, looked around the yard, and focused on the water at the source. "There are too many people in line for the water at the entrance of the village, do you have many here?"


    There must be a lot of them, and they all flowed down the original ditch to the side of the river, but they haven''t flowed yet, they have been led to the fields.


    After a pause, he continued, "This is a natural disaster. It''s so hot now. When the autumn passes, it will definitely rain. It will be fine at that time. If it is two months at most, can you..." He stretched his finger Looking at the ditch under the courtyard wall, "The place lets the villagers come to fetch water."


    Li Qinghe looked at each other, "Yes."


    The water at the source has become two strands, the larger one flows into the pond, and the smaller one is for their own use. But if someone picks it up, the paddy field will probably be gone, but it''s not their business. People have no water to drink, so who can care about the land?


    The village head was able to speak correctly and left happily. The two also locked the door and went to see Li Fu. Every time they went to the county seat, they would bring him something back. This time, Li Qinghe was pregnant and was busy making clothes and swaddling clothes for the child. He didn''t have time at all, so he took it back and made it for Qian.


    The house of Li''s house is lively right now. Li Qinghe opened the door by himself and heard a dispute before entering the house, "You are forcing them to die!"


    It was Qian''s crying voice.


    Li Fu''s voice immediately followed, "Why did I force them to die? They both come back to live now, that is forcing me to die!"


    Then, in a blink of an eye, I saw the two people at the door. Zhou Chengkang was holding a piece of cloth in his hand and supporting Li Qinghe with his other hand.


    "Look, my two daughters, what did you bring with you after so long?" Li Fu looked disappointed, "There is no water in the town, and I did not let you come back, but I have no food to eat. Do you have more money on the second month?"


    Zhao Wanwan and Hu Yanxi stood in the room with a big baggage on the side. It''s nothing more than no outsider. Li Fu said and said, but now there are two more people, and both of them are at a loss, especially It was Hu Yanxi, squeezing his clothes uncomfortably, and hanging his head without saying anything to leave.


    When Zhao Wanwan saw him, she only felt that he was so wronged, tears came down, "Father, what can I do?"


    Li Fu raised his hand to stop her, "I just ask you one question, do you have any extra money?"


    The two of them were silent, and Li Fu was even more annoyed, "Let''s go, this is to make it clear to come back to take advantage of me. Wanwan, you know how I have treated you all these years, and you are forced to do this, you... You take it for granted."


    The underlying meaning of this is that none of the daughters and relatives is so right and confident to ask him for subsidies.


    Hu Yanxi said at this time, "Father, don''t be angry, we will give this money."


    "Those are your entanglements for next year." Zhao Wanwan looked worried, "What about next year?"


    "People are going to starve to death and they are still entangled." Li Qinghe entered the door and said unceremoniously, "Why don''t you go find your father? See if he is willing to support the two of you."


    This is not polite at all, and for so many years, few people in this family will mention Zhao Tianfu, as if he is a taboo, especially when Wanwan has been in this family for so many years, no one will deliberately say the words "daddy".


    Zhao Wanwan''s face suddenly paled, "Sister, you...I only have one dad, and this is my home." She said, tears have fallen, "It turns out that I am in this home and I am always different."


    "That''s not conscience." Li Qinghe entered the door, "Last year..."


    Hu Yanxi interrupted her, "We give money!" Looking at Li Fu earnestly, "You are my father-in-law, and you will be there for the rest of your life. I will remember your help to me all my life."


    He took out a dime and put it on the table, "These are two months'' worth of meals. As for later, I will think of ways."


    In front of everyone, Li Fu collected the money, "It''s not that I insist on embarrassing you, but if you don''t collect the money, you embarrass me."


    The author has something to say: See you tomorrow afternoon.

 Chapter 77： autumn harvest

    He really collected the money.


    Li Qinghe suddenly felt that Hu Yanxi has a good face and likes to be a good person. It was Zhao Wanwan who had been begging for mercy all the time. He didn''t say a word, and in the end, seeing that the matter failed, he jumped out and gave the money.


    These people present, including Li Fu, would think he was reasonable. But in fact, the unreasonable things have already been done by Zhao Wanwan.


    Seeing Li Fu collected the money, Zhao Wanwan still wanted to persuade her, Hu Yanxi pulled her, smiled and said, "Put the things back first."


    Zhao Wanwan''s tears couldn''t stop falling, and she picked up her baggage, turned and left.


    It seemed that Li Fu was a little annoyed.


    Li Fu saw her movements in his eyes, and lowered his eyes not knowing what he was thinking.


    It was getting late at this time, Li Qinghe didn''t intend to stay long, and the atmosphere at home was not right. She put the fabric on the table and said goodbye.


    The next morning, someone came to fetch water. It is worth mentioning that the eldest son of the village chief moved a chair and guarded it outside the courtyard wall, asking them to line up and staring at them to fetch water.


    After Yu Yan and the two came back, they took a rest for the whole night and then came over. They came over with a snack early in the morning, "This is delicious. I tasted it when Min Rui and I went to the restaurant. I brought it to you. Come back a little bit."


    "By the way, I went to see the godmother in the morning. I heard that your house has recruited a thief. I am too afraid to recruit a thief. You must not chase after it!"


    In a blink of an eye, I saw someone outside the gate carrying water. It was quite strange. She came in through the back door just now. At this moment, she smiled and went out to see. The people who came were all people who knew Li Qinghe and saw her in the yard. Will say hello and thank you.


    The third aunt brought the bucket over, put the bucket outside, walked directly in the door, and turned to cover the door, "Qinghe, something happened to your house."


    Li Qinghe was dumb, "What''s the matter?"


    Probably not in a hurry, I didn''t see the third aunt and picked a bucket.


    The third aunt lowered her voice, "Early in the morning, your sister and my sister are going to move away, saying they moved to her father''s side."


    totally unexpected.


    Zhao Wanwan kept saying that she hadn''t seen Zhao Tianfu for a long time, and she didn''t expect to find him again.


    It really is a mother with milk!


    Zhao Tianfu''s home is also in Wangcun, but it is not in the same row as Li''s, and it takes a quarter of an hour to walk there. It is worth mentioning that the Zhao family used to be wealthy and had built blue brick houses in the first 20 years, which is not much better than the Li family¡¯s yard.


    The daughter who had been raising for many years just left, Li Qinghe felt that her father should feel uncomfortable. Some were worried, and took some snacks that Zhou Chengkang had brought home and went home.


    It was still morning. When she arrived, Qian was cooking breakfast in the kitchen. The ping-pong-pong movement was quite loud, and she seemed to be upset. Li Fu was cutting sweet potato vines by the stone table under the big tree in the yard, and a lot of them had been cut and spread out on the ground.


    Seeing her entering the door, he smiled and said, "Why are you back again?" In a blink of an eye I saw the paper bag in her hand, shook his head and said, "Keep it for yourself, you are pregnant now, and Chengkang specially brought it so far. Come back, how am I embarrassed to fight with my grandson for food?"


    I was still in the mood for joking. It seemed that it shouldn''t be uncomfortable. Li Qinghe sat down and opened the snacks, "Father, I haven''t had breakfast yet. Eat these first."


    Li Fu went to wash his hands, took a piece of it, and handed it to her. He also picked it up and took a bite, "Is it for Wanwan? I''m fine."


    "Don''t be uncomfortable." Li Qinghe helped him pour tea, "I can''t run, and I have nowhere to run."


    Li Fu''s eyes blushed, he reached out and wiped it, wiping away his tears, "You are a good boy."


    Three or two bites stuffed the dim sum in the mouth, signaled Li Qinghe to continue eating, he took up the knife again and started to cut, looked at the busy Qian in the kitchen, and lowered his voice, "Actually, I can guess that if they want money, they will live soon. Like. It is said that they don''t have enough money to go to the county town, so there is no money to spend on food."


    "It''s just that I didn''t expect that she would go to Zhao Tianfu."


    In the last sentence, Li Fu''s tone was flat, but he could see that he was a little lost. After raising Wanwan for many years, now she turned around and went back to find her relatives.


    Qian went out carrying the food and looked at the father and daughter in the yard, "What are you whispering about? Isn''t it polite?"


    "I''ll give my dad a snack." Li Qinghe pointed to the paper bag, "Only those with a guilty conscience will guard against being afraid of others saying it. In the future, in this house, don''t mention her. These years, my dad''s food will be fed. The dog."


    Even if you have a dog, it should be mature for so many years. Zhao Wanwan is also, relying on this and that, can''t you rely on yourself?


    Qian wanted to say more, Li Fu looked at her with heavy eyes, and she stopped talking immediately. After turning around and entering the kitchen, I became more and more angry, and threw out the bun in my hand, "My heart for so many years, I also fed the dog. I shouldn''t have come back..."


    Li Fu watched the bun on the ground roll to his feet for a long time, bends down to pick it up, and graciously wiped off the ashes on it, "After that, you regret it, you go!"


    Qian was crying, he was stunned, and his tears hung on his eyelashes, "What are you talking about? No one is rich because of the reduction in grain production this year. Are you driving me away now?"


    Li Fu looked at his daughter, "The sun will be high in a while, you should go back first."


    This is to make her avoid suspicion. The neighbors all have eyes. If Li Qinghe comes back with his front foot, Qian''s back foot will be driven away. It is a personal whisper.


    Li Qinghe is also well-behaved and went out on her own. In fact, she has always disliked the Qian family and occasionally wanted to separate them. But the Qian family was the person Li Fu wanted to be together since he was a child. I can see that she is very accommodating to her. Besides, she is already married and leaving Li Fu alone at home. In fact, she is not at ease. It is good to have someone by her side. Even if she quarrels, she feels lively.


    Soon after returning home, I heard people who came to carry water said that Qian had packed up his baggage and returned to Qian''s yard.


    The yard was cleaned up by Youshi since Father Qian left, and now there are people in it. It is Qian Laixing who has passed the exam.


    Another half month passed in a blink of an eye. Because of the drought this year, the seedlings in the ground dries quickly, and Li Qinghe''s belly is getting bigger and bigger. Just when Zhou Chengkang was going to dig sweet potatoes, Lin Zhixian came again with people.


    This year¡¯s drought, even if it¡¯s a village, the harvest in each field is different. He deliberately brought someone to see the situation in Li Qingmiao''s home. There were quite a lot of people who came, there were 20 or 30 people, and they brought their own hoes. After a long time, they dug up all the sweet potatoes and put them in the cellar.


    Compared with last year, I planted more this year, but the harvest was only half of last year''s, but it would be enough if only the two of them ate. Looking at the pair of sweet potatoes, Lin Zhixian couldn''t stop the smile on his face. The next day came again, and the barley was also cut. In one day, not only the cut was finished, but it was all threshed and dried.


    The barley harvest was only half of last year''s. At this time, news came out that the imperial court has issued an order this year that all cities and towns affected by drought will be exempted from taxes. Business taxes are only 20%, and grain taxes are exempt.


    Throughout August, there was no better news than this.


    I don¡¯t know outside. In fact, for the people in Wang Village, if the grain tax is not paid, the grain in the ground is barely enough to eat, which is really not good. There is also the mountain behind, the grass roots and the bark, they can never starve to death.


    Not to mention that there are more sweet potatoes this year. Although they have not as many sweet potatoes as Li Qinghe, they are also quite a few.


    Because there are sweet potatoes, the price of food is quite high now. Many people secretly dried the food and moved them directly to the town to sell them. It¡¯s really not good to eat sweet potatoes. If you have so many sweet potato vines at home, you can still fill your stomach. Wait until next year. Food prices should fall, and it will be fine by then.


    Even if all his food was collected, Zhou Chengkang was not idle, his mother had confiscated it, and Li Fu, who used to have only wheat in previous years, and this year, there were more sweet potatoes, so he couldn''t be too busy.


    Although he was busy, he was very happy. When Li Qinghe sent him food to the fields, he looked fortunate, "Fortunately, you helped me grow food, otherwise this year will really..."


    "At that time, I will divide you half." Li Fu was quite proud, "whatever you say."


    He didn''t move half of it, he moved all of it to the yard here, because the yard of Li Qinghe''s house is large, good for drying food, and it is closer to his land than the house in the village.


    The other people in the village met, and no one was talking about gossip. Anyway, Li Fu is nearly forty this year and only has this one daughter. In the future, he will probably rely on her to move the food. As long as he is willing, no one can tell. The word "no" comes.


    The author has something to say: See you tonight.

 Chapter 78： Frank

    Half of the people in the village ran to sell food, planning to rely on sweet potato belly. The food was cooked and roasted, and it didn¡¯t even use oil. It was sweet and delicious, and it was very hungry. In fact, it was much better than the throaty bun. Children can also eat.


    After Li Fu¡¯s food was harvested, almost everyone was busy. On the last day of August, when I got up in the morning, the sky was gloomy and there was no sun all day. It was very dark that day. In the middle of the night, a thunder suddenly sounded. The earth seemed to tremble because of the shaking, and then the rain fell down.


    Li Qinghe was awakened by the thunder, and Zhou Chengkang beside him got up, "It doesn''t matter, I''ll take a look outside and put things away."


    There was no rain for a few months, and many things were left in the yard without taking them back, or they were against the wall. There are still two bags of Li Fu''s grain under the eaves, listening to the rain outside, if the grain is not carried into the house, it should be wet.


    She also got up, and only a dark area was visible in the night. The candlelight shone on the ground and saw the rain falling on the ground converge into a small stream, flowing along the ditch where they originally flowed out to the courtyard wall.


    Zhou Chengkang ran out and carried the grain into the door. After a few breaths, his clothes were soaked when he ran into the door. Li Qinghe saw him and hurriedly found his dry clothes and gave him.


    The heavy rain outside has been raining, and the rain is not small. After tonight, there may be no shortage of water.


    "In fact, in my last life, I remember this heavy rain." His voice was a little distorted in the sound of rain.


    Li Qinghe had closed his eyes and slumbered, but when he heard it opened, there was no candlelight in the room. The night was deep and there was nothing to see, only the powerful arms on the waist hugged her.


    In fact, Li Qinghe found something wrong with him the morning he woke up. Zhou Chengkang in his previous life didn''t even talk to her, not to mention running to her. Xu''s visit went smoothly, and there were no guests at all.


    In the last life?


    He bluntly said that in his previous life, he should have found something wrong with her. And when Zhou Chengkang discovered her was wrong, she herself didn''t know, in fact, she had never concealed it before him.


    He said in a low voice, "Remember that I ran out in the middle of the night. Just when you were buried in a col, the rain came from your side. I was busy putting dirt on you..."


    "Don''t say it." Li Qinghe touched his arm, only to feel that the goose bumps were all up. Although she had seen this with her own eyes, she felt it was oozing.


    He heard a low laugh from behind, "Are you afraid?"


    Li Qinghe turned over and hugged his waist, "According to you, do you know that there was a drought this year?"


    "It''s been too long, I can''t remember." Zhou Chengkang sighed, "I don''t pay much attention to things in the village. I don''t pay attention to things in the village. A catastrophe that would really kill people has never happened."


    After hearing this for decades, Li Qinghe''s eye circles were sour, and he almost shed tears, "Are you alone?"


    He shook his head, Hu stubble swept across her forehead, a little itchy, "I always feel you are with me. Are you... with me?"


    Li Qinghe buried his head in his arms, "I think you are lonely, do you regret it?"


    Indirectly confessing to be with her, Zhou Chengkang put his hand on her belly, and her belly began to move. He smiled, "Being able to stay with you for a lifetime and give birth to a child, God is really kind to me. I won¡¯t regret it if I come again."


    The two of them said something in the middle of the night, and after confessing something, they only felt closer. The next morning, the rain was not too small. Their kitchen was built by the house, and they could go directly through the eaves, but even In this way, leaning on the eaves, the clothes will still be splashed by rain.


    The first two days were still extremely hot. When it rained, I felt that there was water vapor everywhere. Standing at the door of the house and looking at it, Zhou Chengkang simply stuffed the person back into the chair and touched her swollen belly, "You still don¡¯t move. , A fall is not for fun, I''m afraid you will suffer."


    No one thinks about wrestling. Mei''s body is still a little weak, and the child is prone to get sick. With the lessons to be learned, Li Qinghe didn''t have to go to the kitchen, sat back happily, and picked up the sewing basket.


    Now she is eight months old, and she will give birth in more than one month. The baby''s clothes and swaddling are almost the same, but she can also make clothes for Zhou Chengkang. After having the baby, she wants to be quiet again. I''m afraid I can''t make clothes.


    When the meal was ready and delivered to the door, Li Qinghe dropped the needle and thread. The two of them had a meal. The rain couldn''t go anywhere. He even went to see the chickens. He also fed a pig this year, and waited until the twelfth lunar month. When it''s time to kill, there are horses, and you have to look at them. When he went out and turned around in the yard, he was soaked again.


    He changed his clothes, and it was already autumn now. When the autumn rain fell, he whizzed coldly, "Are you cold?"


    In fact, she doesn''t need to answer, he has gone to the utility room over there to search for last year''s brazier and light it up.


    The brazier was lit, and the room warmed up. Zhou Chengkang sat opposite her. After the embroidery thread was divided, there was nothing to do, "Is there anything else to prepare?"


    Li Qinghe laughed, "I don''t know for now, I don''t have a good memory."


    Two people get along, even if they do nothing, just sitting in the house, they feel warm.


    After a heavy rain for two days, the rain gradually reduced, and the dry fields were a lot wetter. It was not the kind of situation where you were all covered with water vapor when you went out. The water in the pond at the door would overflow. The side is much bigger than before, just a little muddy.


    In the small river in the village, there is more than half of the water before it was dry before, and the shorter places have overflowed the road.


    Fortunately, they do not need to go out.


    Mother Zhou came over with an egg on this day and looked at Li Qinghe''s stomach, "You are young and don''t understand anything. Or, I move in now?"


    Zhou Chengkang did not refuse, "If you think it is okay, just move in."


    There are more Zhou mothers at home, but it¡¯s actually pretty good. She cooks and cleans the house inside and outside, including feeding chickens and pigs. She will help. On this day, she came back from outside to feed the fish in the rain. As you said, it¡¯s the one you were thief this year. Two days ago, I heard that Zhao Tianfu brought a fishing net when he came back from the town one day. You said that the river was all dry at that time, except that his fishing net came to your pond to fish. Apart from fish, where else can I go fishing?"


    Zhou Chengkang frowned slightly, "Who told you?"


    "Several people in the village said that." Zhou Mu thought for a while, "I don''t know who said it in the first place."


    If there is no evidence, and if it is not certain, someone may have said nonsense, deliberately provoking the conflict between Li Qinghe and him.


    Originally thinking that because Zhao Wanwan moved back to live, many people read Li Fu''s jokes and said that he had helped others raise their daughter for so many years.


    And after Qian''s return, he had been to Zhao''s house several times. Although she came and went in a hurry, she herself was sensitive and talked a lot. If it weren''t for Zhao Tianfu''s side, people in the village would have spoken harder.


    Since Li Qinghe had the memory of Li Qinghe, there have been very few stolen stories. Of course, it is said that people steal their hearts from being poor. The year is different this year, so some people must have thought about it.


    In fact, after Zhou Chengkang came back, he did not deliberately conceal the incident of the thief at home. Many people in the village also knew about it. After so long, it would be difficult to find out.


    The most important thing is that Li Qinghe didn''t really lose something, and many people didn''t take it seriously, but secretly, more people kept dogs.


    It has been raining lately, and it seems that God is going to make up for the rain for the past six months. Since that night, it has not cleared up.


    On this day, Yu Yan came over to talk to her with embroideries. She was very happy and said in a low voice, "I''m pregnant."


    "Really?" Li Qinghe looked at her up and down, "You move fast enough."


    Yu Yan glared at her, "Speaking seriously."


    "I plan to let the goddess live in, but she doesn''t agree. Recently, those few want them to move out to make room. I can''t say anything, but when I get older next year, she should be able to agree."


    Not long after the two said, Min Rui came to pick up the people.


    Looking at the backs of the two who left, they seemed to be talking in low voices, and it seemed that both of them were very happy. Yu Yan has the most idea. Few people change their minds when she decides. She is a very smart person. She picked up Min Rui and returned. In fact, Li Qinghe didn''t realize that she could really get married with him. Also had a good time.


    In the afternoon of the day, Zhou boss hurried over and saw Li Qinghe in the door. He hurriedly asked, "Where is my mother? The old couple started fighting."


    Mother Zhou heard it in the kitchen and went out a few steps, "What''s wrong?"


    also?


    Li Qinghe didn''t want to go back when he moved here. Listening to the meaning of this, he often quarreled there?


    "The third younger sibling wants to go back, but the third younger brother refuses to let her fight. The child doesn''t care about it. Mei Hua is watching now."


    Mother Zhou frowned and said to the two people here, "Then I will go back and have a look and pay attention to the pot."


    When the mother and son left, Li Qinghe asked in confusion, "Because of what, do you know?"


    Zhou Chengkang helped her enter the door, "The Zhang family is going to move away, I never told you."


    If it is Zhang Haiyao''s family who wants to move, it doesn''t seem to have anything to do with her, and there is no need to hide it. The reason for keeping it... She is a little surprised, "Is it my mother that they also want to leave?"

 Chapter 79： Selfishness

    Seeing that I couldn''t hide it, Zhou Chengkang sighed and pulled her in, "It is said that it is necessary. I haven''t seen my mother-in-law in town yet. I don''t know if she is leaving."


    There was no such thing in the previous life. It can be seen that there are no absolutes in the world. You don''t necessarily follow the way of the previous life when you start it again. Earlier, she didn''t know that Zhao Wanwan could go back to find his father.


    "If you really want to leave, you should come and tell me?" Li Qinghe asked in a low voice.


    After asking, I think it is very possible. But in the recent weather, it is difficult to go out.


    "I will be with you forever." He said.


    When the two entered the door, Li Qinghe remembered something, "Do you want to go back and see your third brother?"


    "No." Zhou Chengkang shook his head, "He can handle it himself."


    He said so, and Li Qinghe stopped persuading him. After picking up the needle and thread again, the diaper she prepared at the beginning, Zhou''s mother said that it was not enough when she saw it, saying that her baby was born in winter and it was not easy to do it, so she should prepare more.


    So, she has been competing with diapers these days.


    Mother Zhou came back late at night with a tired expression, "I still haven''t left, but I think there will be a lot of things after I don''t leave. Well, the child has no mother. I haven''t left, and I will probably regret it later. Have to fight."


    She sighed, "I''m going to rest."


    In the autumn of this year, it rained successively, and it never stopped. It is impossible to cut wood. However, there are some people who do not have them in their homes. When the rain is small, they ran to the mountains to chop. Someone asks the doctor at two ends in three days, regardless of whether they don''t live in the village. However, many people came to find Zhou Chengkang to ask for a doctor in the town.


    When Zhou Chengkang went to the county seat, he prepared a lot of things and came back. Now he helps the villagers pick up the doctor and buys some things when he goes back.


    This time when he came back, what he brought back was not something, but Xu''s.


    Xu''s face remained the same, and after being polite with Zhou Mu, he took another round in the yard.


    Zhou''s mother went to the kitchen to cook. Xu looked over there and touched her belly, "How are you feeling lately? Have you been wronged?"


    "Very good, no." Xu came over, Li Qinghe was still very happy, "Mother, why is this weather here?"


    Xu nodded her nose, "Knowingly asked, didn''t you? Your third sister-in-law had a few scenes, I don''t believe you don''t know. The two brothers of the Zhang family will move back to the county seat, after all, the clan is there."


    Li Qinghe smiled, "Then you want to leave?"


    Xu Shi looked at her, "Do you want me to go? Or do you want me to stay?"


    If you really want to ask her, it must be the best to stay. The mother lives in a town not far away, even if she doesn''t have much contact, as long as she thinks about it, her heart is warm. But, she can''t be so selfish, "Mother, live wherever you think is better."


    She has her own life, and it would be too much to keep Xu Shi.


    Xu gave her a hug, her eyes were red, but her face was smiling, "I have decided to leave next year in the spring. I have to look at my grandson."


    Li Qinghe felt warm in his heart, "Really?"


    Seeing that she was happy, Xu poke her, "Just said to follow me."


    "After a few days they are gone, I will bring Bin''er back to stay with you." She swept around the yard, "Will you not agree?"


    Of course not, such a big house, so many empty. After dinner, Zhou Chengkang sent her back to the town.


    Knowing that Xu''s family would come back to live with her, she was very happy all day, and in a blink of an eye, when eating on this day, Zhou''s mother whispered, "I heard that the Zhao family quarreled last night."


    Because of Li Qinghe''s relationship, the Zhou family will inevitably pay more attention to Zhao. After hearing this, she was also very curious, "Because of what?"


    As far as she knows, Zhao''s family now only has Zhao Tianfu left, and there is also a woman he brought back from the town. It is said that he brought it from the flower house. She is much younger than him. She looks like she is in her early twenties at most and she has a long face. Very good.


    Zhou''s mother said casually, "It seems that the woman of Zhao Tianfu is pregnant. She wants to make him marry again, and that is, she is not allowed to live with Wanwan. So Wanwan quarreled with her and listened. When they talked about it, they scolded very dirtyly. The woman said that the child in the woman¡¯s belly was not her father¡¯s. She just ran into the Qian¡¯s and passed by, and she also had a fight with the woman. Many people had a lot of discussions this morning."


    Qian''s identity is embarrassing, so he ran to mix things up.


    But on another thought, Wanwan''s courage only suffers from quarreling with others.


    "The people in the village say it hard to hear." Mother Zhou glanced at her, "Don''t get excited when I said."


    Li Qinghe couldn''t laugh or cry, "Promise not to get excited."


    Mother Zhou lowered her voice, "It was said that Zhao Tianfu had all his wives and concubines, and they started arguing only after they could not argue.


    Hearing this, Zhou Chengkang frowned, "Mother, don''t talk nonsense."


    "I said it myself, it''s better than Qinghe hearing outsiders talking?" Zhou Mu didn''t take it seriously. "Besides, I don''t think Qinghe will move her fetus when she hears this. This is a person who can''t beat it. It¡¯s not guilty to be angry at all."


    Rather than telling this to his son, it is better to tell Li Qinghe. This is Zhou Mu''s hint that she relaxes.


    "Mother is right." Li Qinghe agreed. As long as she didn''t get involved with her father, Qian''s mother and daughter''s affairs had nothing to do with her. They didn''t have deep feelings, so if she was holding them up, it would be funny.


    Zhou''s mother turned around and asked, "By the way, your mother said that you want to come and serve your confinement?"


    Li Qinghe didn''t notice the deep meaning in her words, and said casually. "Said to stay for a few days."


    Zhou Mu put down the dishes and chopsticks, Li Qinghe looked at each other, and then both looked at her.


    "Originally, I shouldn''t have said these things," Zhou mother looked at her, "Now your father hasn''t made it clear. If your mother comes again, he should come to see you when you have a baby? It is inevitable. Your mother gets along, and Wanwan''s parents are still making trouble. At this time...isn''t it to give the villagers more information."


    Li Qinghe also put down his chopsticks, "What do you want?"


    "Don''t come, your mother, let me take care of you." Zhou Mu picked up the chopsticks to eat again.


    Xu stayed here specifically to take care of her daughter, and now it is time to be sad to ask her not to come here. Besides, my daughter gave birth to a child, but she didn''t stay here specifically and couldn''t come to see it?


    She didn''t speak, and Zhou Chengkang saw it and said hurriedly, "I''ll still let the mother-in-law come, and I will talk to my father-in-law when the time comes. After those few days have passed, he will come to see the child again."


    Seeing that her expression was wrong, Zhou''s mother nodded and said, "It''s okay. It''s best to stay a few days less."


    Although she is telling the truth, it feels a bit wrong. Li Qinghe never cares about people close to him, so he asks directly, "Mother, you have something to say. Don''t be so crooked, I listen. Tired, pregnant, and too lazy to think deeply."


    Zhou Mu looked embarrassed, "I heard that your mother won''t go to the county seat? She..."


    After going around for so long, it turned out to be afraid of Xu''s long stay. Maybe Zhou''s mother was also afraid that her son would live like the eldest son, with Mrs. Liu caught in the middle, getting more and more disturbed.


    Li Qinghe said directly, "She will not stay in my house for too long when she is going in spring. Moreover, that is my mother, not like Aunt Liu."


    To put it bluntly, Zhou''s mother was a little embarrassed, "Qinghe, don''t be angry. This time I think about it too much."


    Not to be angry, but the mood is really bad. These days Zhou''s mother treats her very well, and at this time, Li Qinghe suddenly discovered that even Zhou''s mother was selfish. She thought for a while, and said, "My mother has a younger brother over there. Besides, she has a good time at Zhang''s family, and she should not be able to take care of me. But my dad has me as a daughter, although he sometimes can¡¯t handle it. Qing, but I didn¡¯t treat me badly on the whole. I don¡¯t want a couple of dollars as a dowry. I don¡¯t expect a few girls in the village to have it. In the future, when he gets older, I still have to support him."


    Regardless of whether Zhou¡¯s mother is high or not, she will do it. Li Qinghe looked at Zhou¡¯s pale face, ¡°And you, in the future, when you get older, we will not leave you alone. Both food and clothes Not less."


    Hearing the last sentence, Zhou''s mother''s complexion eased a little, and then she burst into laughter, "It''s my fault."


    It''s better to know that a child who is filial is better than someone who doesn''t even pay attention to his parents. If Li Qinghe really doesn''t care about Li Fu, she will probably worry that when she gets old, these two people can''t count on it.


    It''s been raining all the time, and it feels like winter is only at the end of September. Recently, Zhou Chengkang often looked at her stomach in a daze, feeding chickens and pigs quickly, and staying with her without doing anything.


    Some were expecting and a little scared, but the kid in his stomach didn''t care about his mood. On the last day of September, Li Qinghe had just moved in the morning, and a rush of heat flowed down from his lower body. Then his stomach was painful and his face paled instantly.


    Zhou Chengkang on the side was handing her the clothes. Seeing that she suddenly stopped moving, the fingertips of her fingers on the bedpost turned white. At first glance, he took a lot of effort and dropped the clothes to help her back. , "Does the stomach hurt?"


    Li Qinghe nodded, "Hurry up...find my mother..."


    Zhou Mu occasionally went back to live one night earlier. Recently, she has lived next door. She was already in the kitchen when she got up early. When she heard Zhou Chengkang shout, the voice was a little panicked and rushed over and saw the situation in the house. Stepping over, Li Qinghe took Li Qinghe from him and held it firmly, urging, "Go and call Wen Po."


    The author has something to say: it is about to give birth. See you tonight.

 Chapter 80： Birth

    Li Qinghe only felt pain, and she was helped by Zhou''s mother to lie down on the bed, "Don''t be afraid, it''s the way women give birth. Your mother and I both come here. If you feel pain, you can think about other things or swear. ."


    As she said, she went to the cabinet and turned out the small clothes, swaddlings, and diapers and put them on the brazier to warm them up, "Are you hungry? When they come back, I will help you make food. What do you want to eat? "


    Although Zhou Mu was worried, she could see that she was very excited and couldn''t stop for a moment. She even poured hot water over to give her a drink.


    Before long, there was a horse hissing outside, and Zhou Chengkang came back with his wife. On a cold day, he was sweating and kept urging her, "Aunty, can you hurry up?"


    Wife is just like her name, very steady, "Don''t worry. It''s not that fast to have children."


    He ran to the bed and took her hand, "Qinghe, how are you?"


    From his appearance, he seemed to be more afraid and flustered than the one who gave birth to a child. Li Qinghe couldn''t help laughing because of the pain, "It hurts."


    Wien stepped forward, touched her belly, and drove Zhou Chengkang out, "Auntie, how is she? If you need anything, you must tell me, if anything is wrong, you must tell me..."


    His voice was shut out of the door.


    Wen Po smiled and said, "The young couple have a good relationship. You are blessed."


    The last sentence refers to Zhou Mu.


    Mother Zhou also laughed, "Yes, if Qinghe can give birth to a child successfully, I will be satisfied."


    The two chatted at the bedside. Li Qinghe was so painful that her mind felt confused. Seeing them both being so leisurely, she should be normal. At the beginning, Mei and Zhou''s mother had serious faces, let alone laugh. There is nothing extra to say.


    Zhou Chengkang stood outside, thought about going out from behind, and ran to the house behind, "Min Rui, can you help me pick a doctor."


    Min Rui popped her head out of the room, "What''s wrong?"


    "Qinghe is about to give birth?" Yu Yan''s voice was full of excitement. You don''t need to ask, you know it is. "Let me see."


    She is neat, Min Rui hurriedly supported her, "Be careful."


    Min Rui didn''t have a carriage. Zhou Chengkang directly asked him to set up the one he had set at the door. Before leaving, he said again, "Let''s go to Zhang''s house and pick up my mother-in-law."


    Before noon, the doctor and the Xu family arrived, and Li Fu rushed over when he heard the news.


    Li Qinghe only felt pain, and the sweat on her forehead had never been done. In such a cold day, she didn''t notice the cold at all. Zhou Mu and Xu Shi beside her kept comforting her. She watched the sky bright and dark outside. In the night, I occasionally heard someone talking outside, and the whole person was in a trance with pain.


    Until late at night, Zhou Chengkang never sat down all day. He was either busy or just standing by the door, listening to the painful cry from time to time inside, and seeing the night outside getting darker, he couldn''t help it. When you want to rush in.


    Finally, there was a loud cry of the baby in the room, and at the same time the joyful voice of Wen Po and Zhou''s came, "He was born."


    Hearing the birth, Li Qinghe only felt sleepy after the pain, and tried to lift up and glance at the child, and fell asleep.


    Zhou Chengkang who was standing outside heard these two words, relaxed slightly, and asked hurriedly, "How about Qinghe? Can I come in for a look?"


    "Sleep." Mother Zhou''s joyful voice came through the door, "It''s a boy."


    Zhou Chengkang really didn''t care whether the child was a boy or a girl. Hearing that Li Qinghe was only asleep, he finally let go of his heart after so long and asked, "Would you like to eat, the soup is still hot."


    Speaking of this, I have to mention the shelf made by Zhou Chengkang. It rained every day and felt bored at home, so I started to make cribs for my children. After the cribs were made, I felt that hot meals were inconvenient. I made a wooden shelf for the brazier myself, and I just put a pot on it, and it was filled with warm water, so I used it to wash. The soup that is simmered in the day after the pot is warm.


    "Sleep, wake up and eat." Mother Zhou opened the door excitedly and carried her baby out. Zhou Chengkang blew past her and entered inside.


    Mother Zhou was taken aback, and when she turned around, she saw him rushing to the bed and reaching out to touch his daughter-in-law¡¯s face. She was touched a little. She always knew that the fourth couple was the most emotional of the children. This moment was true. Have a deep understanding.


    Normal men are first fathers and their children are close to them, so they must look after their children first. He is better, first look at his wife.


    You know, a woman who just gave birth to a child is full of embarrassment about how to tidy up, and it really doesn''t look good.


    When Xu saw it, the corners of her mouth slightly twitched. She remembered what her daughter had said, to find someone who loved her. It seemed that her daughter''s eyes were much better than her. She did not enter the door, and reached out to hug the child in Zhou''s mother''s arms.


    Li Fu wanted to step forward, but because the child was in the hands of the Xu family, it was not easy to move forward. Wife and the doctor were still there. Thinking of the doctor, he raised his voice, "Chengkang, let the doctor look at Qinghe. , If it¡¯s okay, prepare some body-conditioning medicine by the way so as not to leave the root cause."


    Seeing that she was really asleep, Zhou Chengkang gave her heart for half a year, and finally fell to the ground, and hurriedly invited the doctor in.


    When Li Qinghe woke up, the sky was already bright outside. When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhou Chengkang by the bed holding the baby, head little by little, already dozing off.


    The two had never seen him since they knew each other, and couldn''t help but raise the corners of their mouths. With this action, they suddenly felt that their throats were very dry and couldn''t help but cough. With a hoarse voice and a sore throat, she frowned slightly.


    But with a light cough, Zhou Chengkang over there was already awakened, opened her eyes and saw her frown, and said hurriedly, "Qinghe, where are you uncomfortable?"


    Li Qinghe''s eyes fell on the teapot, he immediately understood, put the child at her feet, poured water for her, the warm tea inlet seemed to take away the pain in the throat and felt much better.


    "Hungry?" Zhou Chengkang was a little worried, "Why don''t you speak?"


    Li Qinghe smiled again, "hungry."


    He immediately turned around and went to the soup cup in the upper pot of the brazier, which he brought back from the county seat specially. He opened the lid in front of her, and the rich chicken soup smelled tangy.


    Li Qinghe sat up, drank it by himself, and then saw him bring a bowl of black medicine from the outside, and whispered softly, "I asked the doctor to give it to you. Drinking it will be good for your body. It may be a little bitter."


    Li Qinghe couldn''t laugh or cry. When she woke up, she didn''t take a bite of the meal. She drank a bowl of medicine first, but she still took his thoughts and took it. She really woke up hungry. Now she has two bowls of soup and she just feels better. Many, leaning on the pillows, looked at the swaddlings at their feet. The child¡¯s face is about the size of her slap. At this time, she fell asleep with her eyes closed. Although she was still wrinkled, she looked good everywhere. I remembered that the child was held in his arms when she woke up and couldn¡¯t help it. Smiled and asked, "How do you hold it? Isn''t it warmer on the bed?"


    Seeing her stretched out his hand, Zhou Chengkang hugged the child on her hand, "I''m afraid you will turn over again when you fall asleep."


    Li Qinghe looked at the child in her arms, only feeling satisfied. In fact, she had dreamed about having a child in her previous life, but unfortunately she hadn''t completed the marriage for two years, and she couldn''t even talk about the child. Even if Zhou Chengkang was unwilling to have a baby at first, they were looking forward to him after he became pregnant. She bent over and touched his face, warm and smooth, and the smile on the corners of her lips was as gentle as water.


    Seeing her with a smile at the corners of her eyebrows, Zhou Chengkang reached out and touched her forehead, "Don''t hug too much, your arms will hurt later."


    Li Qinghe gave birth to the baby only in the middle of the night. At this time, it was still dark outside. She hadn''t slept for long. She was tired and short-spirited, and soon fell asleep again.


    When they woke up again, they were awakened by the laughter of Xu''s and Zhou''s mother. The two men bent over and joked to the baby at the end of the bed.


    Li Qinghe called out, "Mother..."


    "Hey." The two said in unison, then they looked at each other, and both laughed. Zhou Mu asked with a smile, "Qinghe wakes up, are you hungry? Chengkang asked me to make meat porridge for you,"


    In addition to eating, confinement seems to be the only thing to watch the children. It¡¯s raining outside and it¡¯s not convenient to entertain the guests. However, Zhou¡¯s mother happily arranged with Xu¡¯s family. This year, many people in the village grew barley with Li Qinghe. In the original disaster year, the price of food was high because of the sweet potatoes. After they were sold, they were no different from previous years. There were also families who ran to carry water for a month. Although the two of them are not familiar with the villagers, the villagers actually remember them well. Many people came to congratulate them, and some of them didn''t know each other, and they also prepared gifts.


    It is worth mentioning that Zhao Wanwan also came to the door with clothes made for her children, but there were so many people that they didn''t speak much.


    Li Qinghe is indeed crowded here, not to mention that Yu Yan and the three sister-in-laws have been guarding her, as well as the other wives who came in, all came in to see the children, smiled and praised a few, water and sweet potatoes followed. , Most people thanked her.


    These people are not familiar with her at ordinary times. It would be bad if they didn''t give a thank-you gift if they came to express their gratitude specially, but no one knows how appropriate the thank-you gift is. At this time, there were a lot of people, and there were a lot of people who benefited from her.


    In the afternoon, everyone dispersed, but Zhang Haiyao stayed till the end.


    The Xu family has been living here recently, so Zhou Mu and Zhou Chengkang went outside to clean up, and Li Fu also helped out. In the past few days, he came every day, but it was not easy for him to come in, so he only looked at the children outside.


    Li Qinghe on the bed is left in the room, and then there are the two of them. Zhang Haiyao looked outside and asked in a low voice, "Aunt Xu, when are you going to the county seat?"


    A married woman wanted to leave with her natal family. Zhou''s mother was still so far away. Of course she was dissatisfied. Xu lived here for two days. When she was free, she often heard Zhou''s complaints. Of course, she also complained by the way. The original Xiaoding and the bride price also praised Li Qinghe''s sensibility by the way, and secretly praised the Xu family.


    Both are caring people, and they got along well in two days. When I heard Zhang Haiyao''s question, Xu immediately knew what she meant, and said with a smile, "Wait for the full moon in Qinghe, it would be nice to be able to go to the county town to spend the New Year together this year. What do you ask this for?"


    This was a questioning knowingly, but he didn''t hear Zhou''s mother complaining, and the Xu family had occasionally heard about Zhang Haiyao''s wanting to leave with her family.


    Looking at Li Qinghe who was leaning on the bed, Zhang Haiyao gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "I want to go too."


    The author has something to say: See you tomorrow afternoon.

 Chapter 81： respectively

    Hearing her own words, the two remaining in the room were not surprised. Xu nodded, "They are all gone, does your dad promise you to go?"


    If she agreed, she would not stay here now.


    "After I go, they will never chase me out." Zhang Haiyao took a deep breath, "Auntie, I want to be with you."


    With Xu''s family going so far, no matter how dissatisfied the Zhang family is, she can only let her go in. After entering the door, it was as if she said it herself, could it really drive her out?


    But if it weren''t for Xu''s, she might not be allowed in.


    "Actually, I don''t know when to go. I told your uncle that I was waiting for the full moon in Qinghe, and I said it was about October to give birth, and there should be more than one month left." Xu explained patiently, "At that time, the county seat A carriage will come to pick up our mother and son."


    Zhang Haiyao''s eyes lit up and she grasped her hand, "Auntie, you really want to help me this time."


    "Where is your child?" Li Qinghe couldn''t help asking. The little girl who was over one year old could already leave. She was raised in vain and fat. It could be seen that she did not treat her badly.


    Zhang Haiyao fell silent, "When I go to settle down in the county, I will come back to pick up the father and daughter."


    Before leaving, she repeatedly told, "Auntie, you really want to help me this time, I will repay you in the future."


    Watching her go out, she closed the door easily. Xu shook his head, "The county is so far away, what are you going to do? If it wasn''t for Bin''er, I really don''t want to go."


    Bin''er studies, both the master and the atmosphere in the county seat are much better. I haven''t seen Hu Yanxi so difficult, I have been living in the county for a year.


    Li Qinghe''s body got better day by day. After a few days, she could get out of bed and walk around. Xu lived there. Zhou Chengkang was the one who cooked her every day, and Zhou''s mother was the one who cooked for the family. Ten days after giving birth, , Xu returned to the town and picked up his son and a wife.


    After that, cooking and cleaning at home is the job of the woman.


    Xu''s words are nice, but it''s not good to always let Zhou Mu help cooking. Secretly said to Li Qinghe, "I''m always a guest here. You can cook for me. With your mother-in-law, we have a farther relationship. The food is not easy to cook. Every day, she is big fish and meat. I can''t bear it, let my mother-in-law come."


    This is very helpless, it is indeed the truth. Li Qinghe gave the Xu family silver, but she didn''t accept it.


    Zhou''s mother originally planned to serve the confinement here, but now she saw a woman who was doing a good job helping, she went back to Zhou''s house by herself, and came here every two or three days.


    As the days passed, her body got better and better, and the longer her child was, the better she looked. Just when she was full moon, Lin Zhixian came again. This time she also gave a gift, and more than that, because she grows sweet potatoes. The original disaster year was considered to be the least affected among the nearby counties. Therefore, all places under the names of Li Qinghe and his wife will be exempted from taxes for 30 years. The towns were also notified, stating that if there are any special methods for farming, as long as they can increase grain production. All can be reported, if the truth is true after the trial, the tax will be reduced or exempted as appropriate.


    Everyone was surprised when the news came out. They didn¡¯t expect it was just a way to pinch seedlings. They would not have to pay grain taxes for 30 years. The current ten acres of land under her name, although they are all wasteland, don¡¯t need to pay much grain a year. , But it will be thousands of catties in 30 years.


    Then many people secretly ran to the mayor''s house, and some people ran to talk about the time of fertilization and even the size of the pit. But this level is not worth reporting at all.


    After the full moon, she would be able to wander around. On this day, Li Fu came over. Recently, Qian did not come back again. He was the only one at home. Because of Xu''s relationship, every time he came over, he didn''t stay here much, let alone. Eat here. Sometimes when the food here is ready, Zhou Chengkang will send him a copy.


    At that time, Xu was coaxing the child in his arms and saw him entering the house, holding the child to her house, and avoided.


    Li Fu watched her go out, but didn''t say anything. After everyone went out, he asked in a low voice, "Is your mother going away?"


    Li Qinghe nodded, "Wait for the carriage to pick her up from the county seat."


    Li Fu seemed to have something to do. His mind was obviously not on this. He thought about it and said, "I heard that the land under your name can be exempted from food tax for 30 years?"


    "There is such a thing." This is not a secret at all, and the whole Luoyue Town should know it. Li Qinghe hummed and said, "If there is a suitable land in the village, I will buy more."


    "That''s it." Li Fu looked outside and said in a low voice, "It''s better to put my land under your name. You don''t need to pay food tax every year, so you can save more than 300 catties. How great!"


    Well, if he is willing, it is actually feasible.


    She knew that since Qian Laixing was selected as a talented talent, many people rushed to ask Qian''s family for help, and Qian Laixing has now lost 20% of the village''s land under his name. On the surface, there is no need to pay food tax, but privately, I have discussed the benefits with the Qian family. Most of the people pay 50% of the food tax to the Qian family, and less than 30% have it. Because of this, many people came to the Qian family to intercede. Recently, she lived on her own and relied on other people''s thanks for eating and drinking. She lived well, and she heard that she sometimes gave meat to Zhao Wanwan.


    Li Fu was very happy, "The food saved is good for my grandson."


    She agreed, and Zhou Chengkang took him to the mayor''s house and changed the land under his name to Li Qinghe''s name.


    Originally it was just a very ordinary land exchange, but after knowing the news, Qian might come directly to the door. First, he ran to Li Fu for a big fight. Seeing that he was not getting in, he ran to Li Qinghe''s house.


    I opened the door and saw that it was her. I didn¡¯t intend to let her in, but Qian squeezed in. After entering the door, he pointed at Li Qinghe and cursed, "You are too shameless. A married daughter is still thinking about your father. ground¡­¡­"


    Standing at the door with his arms folded, Xu sneered, "Who is the shameless? Li Fu just asks you for this daughter? Waiting for your son-in-law to pass the exam before giving him..."


    Having said this, Xu glanced at her contemptuously, "When he passes the exam, it will be the year of the monkey. Oh, I remember, now that your nephew has not passed the exam, is he still planning to hang Li Fu''s land? Go to the Qian family? Anyway, he doesn''t have a son. When the time comes, the land will become your Qian family''s."


    Pooh, "You dream!"


    Qian''s chest was ups and downs with anger. She just didn''t want Li Fu to put the land under his daughter''s name. She also thought about persuading him to put the land under the name of Qian Laixing. But when Zhao Wanwan talked about marriage, she said that she should hang the land under Hu Yanxi. He didn''t agree to the name, especially she knew in her heart that Li Fu was very resistant to the Qian family and was looking for a suitable opportunity to reconcile. When she later tried to persuade her, she got the news that the land had become Li Qinghe''s.


    This is his daughter, even if he is a hundred years later, this place can''t be taken back.


    I was so angry that I ran over and saw Xu''s fair and delicate skin, with the kind of contempt in his eyes that looked down on her, and his complexion was blue and white, and he wanted to say it again. Xu was already impatient. Stepped forward and grabbed her by the collar, "This is not Li Fu''s place. Get out of me."


    She gripped very tightly, and heard the woman running out of the kitchen hurriedly to help. The two threw the reluctant Qian out of the door and then closed it with a "bang".


    Standing outside the door, Qian was angry and annoyed, and heard Xu''s voice inside, "Qing He, don''t let this kind of person come here in the future."


    Qian couldn''t help it anymore, "Where are you more noble than me? Aren''t you hooking up with a married man..."


    Before the words fell, the door opened again, and what came out was a fierce-looking rhubarb, and the big white teeth with sharp insides could be seen with his mouth wide open. Qian was so frightened that he turned and ran.


    Seeing the embarrassed Qian Clan who was driven away by Rhubarb, Li Qinghe was speechless for a while. She came out of the house and didn''t say a word, and Xu Clan had already dealt with him simply and neatly.


    "Don''t let her come here in the future." Xu said, "You will be **** off if you talk to her a few more words." She pointed to her head, "She is different from normal people."


    "Your father''s land is originally yours. Even if you don''t want it, it''s your uncle''s cousin. It''s impossible for her daughter to pick it up."


    This was quite right, Li Qinghe responded with a smile.


    Within two days of the full moon, the carriage from the county seat came directly to Li Qinghe''s house. Xu packed up his things and took his son into the carriage.


    Bin''er lived here for half a month, usually studying, and when he was free, he would go to feed the chickens and pigs with Zhou Chengkang. The fish in the pond were often picked up and thrown back by him. At this time, he would leave. , Very reluctant, "Sister, I will come back to see you next year."


    Zhou Chengkang also set up a carriage and took Li Qinghe to take them to the town. When passing by Zhou''s house, Xu''s carriage stopped in front of him. Zhang Haiyao knew that Xu was going to leave as early as when the carriage passed by the village, so he ran back to clean up. Burdened, standing by the roadside and waiting.


    Zhou Laosan was holding his daughter, looking calm, standing in the yard watching.


    Li Qinghe was holding the baby, and it was cold now. If it weren''t for sending Xu''s family, she wouldn''t run this time. She thought it was just a master. Who knows that after waiting for a long time, the carriage didn''t move, and there seemed to be a quarrel in front.


    She poked her head out and saw Zhang Haiyao look angry, "You are talking nonsense, how could my father not let me go? He even said hello not to take me, I don''t believe it!"


    The author has something to say: come, see you tonight.

 Chapter 82： Father Yang

    It was Xu''s family who refused to let her go. Li Qinghe didn''t know about it at first, and Zhou Chengkang naturally didn''t know. Both faces showed some surprised expressions.


    Zhang Haiyao turned his head to look at the carriage here in anger. After meeting the two men with surprised expressions, he directed his anger at Xu again, "Then why don''t you tell me?"


    Xu''s gentle voice came out, "I didn''t know about this earlier, or the coachman came to tell me today, saying that your father specially asked him to let you stay in the village and live a good life. I was surprised. Also, originally we said that someone would tell you to pack your luggage, but I didn''t even ask someone to tell you that you have packed your luggage and you are leaving...The coachman is also embarrassed."


    "If you have to go to the county seat, that''s okay. Anyway, I''ll drop in. You just get down by yourself when you get to the city gate, and then you go back by yourself, pretending not to go with me. Hai Yao, you know who I am, don¡¯t let me I am embarrassed. Okay?"


    Her tone was always gentle, and she brought a bit of pleading at the end of the conversation. Zhang Haiyao''s expression changed, and her hand carrying the burden became tighter and tighter. She went back on her own, and probably couldn''t get in.


    Xu looked at the sky, "Are you going? Hurry up and decide. The journey to the county seat is far away, so we have to hurry."


    In the Zhou family yard over there, the child in Zhou Lao San''s arms suddenly cried, "Mother..."


    With a cry, Zhang Haiyao yelled back to her senses. Seeing the tears on the child''s face, she gritted her teeth and said, "Not going."


    With that said, he quickly entered the Zhou family''s yard with a burden, and coaxed into the door after taking the child in Zhou Lao San''s arms.


    Seeing this, Zhou Mu, who had been quietly watching inside the door, also breathed a sigh of relief.


    The carriage in front set off again, and Li Qinghe leaned back in the carriage. The road to the town was not far away. He quickly passed through the town and reached the intersection to the county seat.


    The carriage in front stopped again. Xu jumped out of the carriage and stopped Li Qinghe who wanted to get off the carriage. He looked at the child in her arms, "Don''t get down, be careful that the child catches a cold after eating. You are fine, Don''t worry me. If something happens, go to the county town to find me. I have told you somewhere..."


    As she talked, her eyes were red, she stretched out her hand and turned to the carriage in front of her. Under the cloak, she could see that her feet were almost running. Waved to the back, "It''s so cold, go back." The voice was a little distorted, with a cry.


    Bin''er in the carriage in front also poked his head out and waved at them. Li Qinghe sat in the carriage and watched them go further and further until they disappeared.


    She hadn''t blinked, her eyes were a little sour, Zhou Chengkang stretched out her hand to cover it, "Don''t look, let''s go back in such a cold day."


    Parting was a bit sad, because they took the children, and the two of them did not go to the street and went straight back to the village. When he saw the big tree at the entrance of the village, Li Qinghe looked back and saw the child in his arms raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly. Her little tongue was exposed. She was a little surprised. Recently, the child laughed almost every day, but every time she saw it, she felt satisfied. Suddenly, most of the sadness of parting disappeared.


    As soon as the two men arrived home in their carriage, they saw Zhou Laosan coming from a distance, carrying a small baggage in his hand. After approaching, he put the baggage into Li Qinghe''s arms, "Sister, thank you for today''s matter."


    "What is this for?" Li Qinghe handed it back hurriedly, "It''s none of my business."


    Zhou Lao San smiled, "It''s your mother who helped me, and she loves you so much again. You should accept my gratitude on her behalf. Not to mention, I have to rush back to take the baby."


    He waved his hand and left quickly.


    Zhou Chengkang pulled the horse back to the backyard, and when he came out, only his back was seen and the burden in Li Qinghe''s hand was seen. She was still holding the child and hurriedly reached out and took it, "What is he doing?"


    She was a little helpless, "She said she was thanking my mother, but she insisted on giving it to me."


    The baggage was taken into the house and opened. There were a dozen eggs inside. The two of Zhou Laosan did not feed the chickens. They heard Zhou''s mother say that his daughter would eat one egg every day. These should be hers.


    Zhou Chengkang looked cold, "He is willing to give it, so just keep it."


    He said so, Li Qinghe took it by himself.


    It has been raining recently, Li Qinghe is going to take the children again, Zhou Chengkang is cooking, and he has to wash diapers when he is free, just as he thought, the two have no time to go up the mountain at all. Just a few days after Xu''s departure, the outside is up and down. After snow, it snows almost every year in this village, but it is not too big, but this year''s snow is extremely big and white, almost closed.


    It''s snowing outside and nothing can be done at all.


    The two guarded a child, and they cooked some food for themselves all day long. They felt quite comfortable. After ten days, no one walked outside until the snow melted.


    Zhou Chengkang went to the butcher to kill the pigs, but she killed them here, and the Yang family next door also killed them.


    Moreover, the butcher of the Yang family was found in the town. Zhou Chengkang didn¡¯t know about it beforehand. Now it¡¯s okay. Originally, a pig in the village could not be sold out. Now there are two. The Yang family heard the call of killing pigs here, and said Out of the news, his pork twelve articles.


    In the twelfth lunar lunar month, it takes sixteen essays for serious fat and more than twelve essays for lean meat. Everyone who heard the news was embarrassed to go from Li Qinghe''s side, and deliberately went to the village entrance to the next door.


    The pork here did not cut the price as they did. It was not that Li Qinghe didn''t want to compete with him, but that Zhou Chengkang fed the pork herself, and she didn''t want his hard work to become cheap.


    The one from the Yang family was fed by the cook, so Father Yang could lower the price if he fluttered.


    As a result, even if there are people from Tangcun brought by He''s family, as well as those brought by Li Fu and Li Kui, most of them are left.


    Mother Zhou was a little worried, and found her in a low voice, "Why don''t it be cheaper than us?"


    "No." Li Qinghe didn''t care. "We''ll keep it for ourselves. Pickled with salt, it can be kept for half a year. Besides, I have to ask someone to grow the land next spring, so I won''t have to buy it."


    Mother Zhou also thought that the pork at Twelve-wen was too cheap. To be honest, she would have wanted to buy it if it wasn''t for it. Hearing her explanation like this, I felt it made sense, "Then you get the salt."


    Taking advantage of the crowds, Li Qinghe found the salt and asked Zhou''s mother and eldest mother Liu to help pickling them. They were busy. Father Yang came with his hands behind his back and entered the door with a smile on his face, "I''m sorry, we have to I didn¡¯t discuss it either. It¡¯s got together. Don¡¯t think about it. It¡¯s really a coincidence."


    "It doesn''t matter." Zhou Chengkang was also not angry, but he didn''t smile either. He didn''t have a good impression of either the Yang family or the Xu family. "It just happened to be left for us to eat. Are you okay?"


    The meaning of chasing away guests is obvious. Neither of them wants to approach the Yang family.


    Father Yang didn''t seem to hear the dislike in his words, and he smiled and said, "That''s it. I originally planned to invite some close people to eat after the pig was killed, but the meat was robbed and there was nothing to eat. I heard about your family. There are fish, why don''t you catch some for me?"


    "Fifty articles per catty." Zhou Chengkang said calmly, "Moreover, I don''t want to take credit."


    Father Yang''s smile stiffened, and the price of the fish was not mentioned. The sentence after him was clearly a mockery of him.


    In the beginning, after the Yang family bought the land next door, they looked for someone to level the foundation to build a house, and even clean up the wasteland. All were hired, but the person who hired did not pay the wages. At that time, it was stated that the annual settlement was 25 articles. One day¡¯s wages, and the result of this year¡¯s autumn harvest... The result is not to mention, the Yang family¡¯s land was planted with barley as in the previous village, without sweet potatoes, it was the first year of the wasteland, basically equal to the confiscated harvest. But the villagers didn¡¯t follow them. When it rained a few days ago, there was a disturbance. The man was holding a **** and a kitchen knife, and the woman kept crying and insisted on the Yang family to pay the wages. As a result, Father Yang found the village chief and changed it. I took the IOU and changed it to thirty-one a day, and the bill will be paid next fall.


    Therefore, the Yang family owes at least ten taels of wages to the villagers to build a house and cultivate the land together.


    Let alone whether the Yang family had any money, he just sold a pig. It is impossible to have no money. As a result, he still said so, obviously intentionally. Father Yang''s smile was a little uncontrollable, "Will it be too expensive?"


    Zhou Chengkang disapproved, moved the marinated meat to the house, and said, "Master Yang may not know. I went to the county to sell fish. Everyone would grab forty texts. If I didn¡¯t send it, I couldn¡¯t buy it at this price. In Luoyue Town, apart from my pond, no fish can be found..."


    This is really not a lie. Since the summer drought, there has been no fish for sale in the town. Even if you want to use it in the restaurant in the town, you have to go here to get it. I still remember that Li Qinghe used to find it by himself. Many people are willing to decide, and for this, Zhou Chengkang has to send it by himself.


    After listening to him chattering for a long time, Father Yang himself is a businessman himself, he understands the truth that things are precious, and he also found out that Zhou Chengkang didn¡¯t like him at all, so he interrupted him, "That help me Grab one."


    Zhou Chengkang went to the pond to fish for fish. Father Yang squatted beside him and couldn''t help but said, "If you are cheaper and my daughter gets married in the spring, I will buy one for each table. How about you?"


    "I''ll talk at that time." Zhou Chengkang waved his hand. "Maybe the price of fish was only a few cents per catty at that time."


    A fish of five catties, Zhou Chengkang deliberately picked a large one, two hundred and fifty writings, and a lot of copper plates. He held the shiny copper plates, and finally showed a smile, sent Father Yang away, and returned. "Come often!"


    Father Yang hurriedly left without returning the fish head.


    After the two of them broke off over there, the meat on this side was almost the same. Li Qinghe asked them to cook in the kitchen. He carried the child back to the room to change diapers. Zhou Chengkang took the copper plate and put it in the door. He smiled and said, "Next year, Yang The family is about to have a happy event."


    He smiled a little sarcastically, "Many people in the last life said that it was too difficult for them to get together and was delayed by you. Now you have married me early, and there is no one else among them, but they got married later than... ..."


    He snorted, Li Qinghe heard the words, looked outside the house, and found that everyone was here in the kitchen, and glared at her, "Don''t talk nonsense. Just take care of what others do and we will live our lives well."


    Indeed, no matter when, living your own life is the most important thing.


    The food was ready, and two tables were set up. Zhou Chengkang also brought out the wine. A meal was eaten for an hour, and when it was getting late, the food was almost the same. Zhou mother and the others cleaned up the dishes and washed them and were about to go home. , I suddenly heard a noise from the Yang family next door.


    It''s not the kind of noise of one or two people, listening to the news can catch up with the wages.


    The author has something to say: See you tomorrow afternoon. Thanks to the little angel who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution during 2019-12-0713:45:33~2019-12-0722:39:45~


    Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: 10 bottles as always;


    Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

 Chapter 83： fifth

    Speaking of wages, Li Qinghe''s uncle went to help the Yang family for a few days.


    At this moment, he couldn''t help hearing the movement there, "I have to look."


    The rest of the people followed, and most of them wanted to watch the excitement. Zhou Chengkang held the child and took her by the hand, "Let''s take a look too."


    A group of people entered the chicken coop from the backyard, crossed the waste grass, and arrived outside the Yang family''s courtyard.


    At this time, the gate of the yard was open, and there were many people inside. I could vaguely see that there were still people lying on the innermost ground. On such a cold day, those people were lying on the door with a quilt.


    When I got closer, I saw that there were about 20 or 30 people lying on the ground, and a large area was placed. They were all pale, their lips were pale, and there was a stench that was unique to the cottage.


    I have diarrhea.


    I thought that the Yang family sold a pig today, and it was unusually cheap, combined with the voices of the people surrounding it. Li Qinghe suddenly said that there was a problem with the pork, and he said why it is so cheap.


    "You have to find a doctor to help us treat it." The woman at the front was furious, "If something happens to my man, I will stay at your house."


    "You can report to officials if you die."


    "Why is this meat so cheap? You still want to sell if you have a problem with pigs, a real profiteer."


    "It''s no wonder that your Yang family''s business can''t go on, and you have scorned your heart."


    Father Yang seemed to have just come out, bent over to look at the people on the ground, frowning, "Is the diarrhea must be a problem with the meat? My pork is good, and the color and taste are normal. Otherwise, you won''t buy it! Can''t be because of me If the meat is cheap, it¡¯s bad."


    The village chief stepped forward. At this time, his face was pale, and he stretched out his hand to cover his stomach. It seemed to be painful, "Then why are so many people who have eaten your meat have diarrhea? Including me."


    Father Yang looked at a large group of people in the lush yard, "Can''t let all of them eat this meat? Isn''t there still so much meat that is okay?"


    Li Qinghe, an aunt of his own family, stepped forward two steps, "That''s because we eat less. Meat is for the strong laborers in the family. It''s better now. Let your family''s flesh damage become like this. If this person is gone, stay How will the next group of orphans and widows let us live?"


    "No, you can help us get a doctor quickly. Otherwise... If my head dies, you don''t want to live."


    As he said, his hand was about to wave to Father Yang''s face, and more than that, the collar of Mother Yang over there was already caught, and Yang Lanrou was also dragged out of the house.


    Father Yang finally let go, "It''s okay to ask the doctor, I''ll let someone go now."


    The Yang family¡¯s wife immediately set up the carriage and left the village. When everyone saw this, they were not as anxious as before. But he kept talking, talking in low voices.


    The mother-in-law was very quick, but after a quarter of an hour, she brought the doctor back and carried two large medicine chests. It seems that the woman is still very reliable. Not only did she invite the doctor, she also told about the illness of these people and brought the medicine.


    It was cold outside, and Li Qinghe wanted to take the baby home. After the doctor over there took the pulse, he began to dispense medicine. Seeing such a large group of people in the yard, it was obvious that they were making trouble. He moved for a while and asked, "Who pays for my consultation and medicine?"


    "Who pays for it? I have to ask." Most people said that.


    Father Yang looked ugly, "What does it matter to me? There is a carriage in my family to help you hire a doctor, and I have done everything possible." He looked at the doctor, "Doctor, are you talking about why these people have diarrhea?"


    The doctor frowned, "Eat something bad."


    "Now!" The people around were immediately encouraged.


    At this time, another woman came out of the house with a large plate of fish in her hand and said loudly, "This meat must be problematic. They don''t eat it by their own family. They also ran to buy fish to eat. The latest fish price Everyone knows that this is to trade our big guy''s life for him!"


    Everyone was agitated, and they waved their fists to make Father Yang say something, and the people over there forced the doctor to dispense the medicine.


    Li Qinghe withdrew from the crowd, Zhou Chengkang went home with her, and Zhou Mu was behind him.


    "It''s like this." She shook her head, "The meat should be problematic."


    "People don''t eat meat for a long time. Suddenly eating too much can cause stomach troubles, but it should be too late to run the hut, and it should not be so serious."


    Those people just lay on the ground, let alone the hut, and stood there for a while. The smell there got stronger and stronger. The reason why Li Qinghe took the baby home was because he couldn''t bear it.


    In the end, a farce by the Yang family ended with their family helping the people to dispense medicine. The trouble continued until the night when the people gradually left.


    Zhang Haiyao still walked here when he went home, and went straight out of the backyard, knocking on the backyard door there.


    After entering the door, he sighed, "It took a lot of money to dispense the medicine, not to mention the money for selling pigs, I also posted a lot. Many people said that they had diarrhea, and all of them were dispensed. I see there, I can¡¯t tell. Someone deliberately took advantage..."


    "What nonsense?" Mother Zhou scolded, "It''s dark, and I''m taking the child outside. Be careful that the child catches a cold and go home."


    She took Zhang Haiyao and left, leaving only Li Qinghe and his wife at home. This was the only time a family of three spent the night alone since she gave birth to a child.


    At night, Zhou Chengkang took her into his arms and laughed in a low voice, "Just the three of us, it''s good."


    As soon as the voice fell, the child in the crib next to the bed began to groan, Zhou Chengkang reluctantly sat up and hugged him, "You can really tear down your father''s desk."


    Li Qinghe couldn''t help but chuckle. With children, a lot more fun.


    Childbirth hurts her body. Zhang Haiyao has been raising a baby after giving birth. She looks good, and the child is also well raised. Mei''s family has never raised the baby, and now she can''t do heavy work.


    Therefore, Zhou Chengkang paid special attention to not letting her work. Even if the full moon was over, she would have soup for her to stew every day. He sleeps next to him, and he still watches. If he doesn''t need milk, he just coaxes him.


    In the twelfth lunar month, the child is two months old. Over there, Zhou''s mother found out another family relationship for Wumei. This time it was either from another village or Wangcun. The family''s surname was Zhao.


    Speaking of it, her father and Zhao Wanwan are brothers in the family, but they are not as wealthy as Zhao Tianfu. The family has four acres of land, one acre of paddy fields, an only child, both parents are alive, and an older sister is married.


    This time because the weather was too cold, Li Qinghe didn''t go back to see it, but after two days, the marriage was settled.


    Wumei has seen each other a few times, and it''s fine if it''s settled down, besides, Zhou''s mother won''t be wronged by her daughter.


    Therefore, in the middle of the twelfth lunar month, the marriage is over, and the bride price has already been paid at the end of the twelfth lunar month. The action is fast, and the wedding date is set, March 15 of the following year.


    March 15th, just after spring ploughing.


    Before Li Qinghe saw anyone, the marriage of the fifth sister was decided. The two were busy selling fish. They went back to Zhou''s house this year, but they just went back to eat a meal.


    I just had breakfast that day, and the door was knocked. During this time, people came to buy fish at home almost every day. Li Qinghe went to open the door and found that she knew the person outside.


    It was a bit reluctant to say that I knew each other, but I only saw it once. It was He Chu''s mother who met the fifth sister for the first time. He still remembers that He said that if the Zhou family was willing, their family would come to propose a marriage.


    Wumei has already decided on a marriage, and people come here at this time, not necessarily because of Wumei, "Aunt, what can you do?"


    Mother He didn''t mean to enter the door, she looked at the pond, "Are there any fish in there?"


    People who come to buy fish basically ask this sentence, that''s the guest. Li Qinghe smiled and nodded, "There are others, big and small."


    He''s mother turned around, "I heard that your little sister-in-law made a marriage?"


    "It''s settled." Li Qinghe smiled slightly when he mentioned the marriage, "Aunt, you have something to say straight."


    It''s so cold standing outside.


    "At the beginning, I said that I wanted to set a fifth sister for my son. Your family disagrees. I didn''t think about it. It''s normal to look at it." Mother He''s face was not very good, "But before I ran into your aunt two days and she said that it was because my son said that he had a sweetheart, and this marriage was not a success."


    Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "Isn''t it?"


    "Yes." Mother He looked ugly, "So I came to the door today, wanting you to apologize to your mother-in-law on my behalf, I really don''t know that **** still can''t let it go, and ah, now that girl is married. , Your family..."


    She wanted to stay here again, Li Qinghe interrupted her, "My fifth sister''s wedding date will be March 15 next year." The wedding date has been set, and there is no reason to change it.


    Mother He sighed slightly, "That''s right, the boy from the Zhao family, he also liked the little fairy surnamed Yang at the beginning, my son said frankly, but the surname Zhao doesn''t say...I just kindly came to remind you."


    Compared to He Chu, who said frankly that he has a sweetheart, if this person from the Zhao family really likes others in his heart as He said, but does not say it, it must have ulterior motives.


    "I''m not telling you, the Zhou family was not good before, but after the brothers married your daughters-in-law, the life in the village is pretty good. Especially you, the pond alone produces a lot of products every year. There are many people who are related to your family. At the beginning, I too..." Mother He looked calmly, "I believe the Zhao family chose the fifth sister, so I should think so."


    "These words came out of my mouth and came into your ears. I was kind, don''t betray me." He mother asked, and before leaving, she left a sentence, "I will consider it in my heart."


    The author has something to say: here it is. See you tonight.

 Chapter 84： Zhaojia

    Li Qinghe didn''t dare to hide this kind of thing, whether it was true or not.


    Others may think that after a man and a woman get married, no matter who they are happy before marriage, they will have a good time after getting married, but she knows best that some people are more attached to feelings, and what they cannot get is always the best.


    Therefore, as soon as He mother left over there, she wrapped up the baby and hurried back to Zhou''s house.


    As soon as I entered the main room door, I saw Wumei holding a big red cloth, and a little shyly asked Zhou''s mother to sign, this is already planning to embroider the wedding dress.


    Looking at her appearance, she seems to be looking forward to this marriage.


    The people in the house were quite surprised that she came to the house with the baby in their arms. You must know that the couple did not come back very often. After giving birth, this was the first time she brought the baby over. Zhou mother was taken aback and laughed. Stepping forward, "Let me see, my dear grandson."


    Li Qinghe was silent, and then glanced at the shy fifth sister. She was already helping her to pour water. She smiled reluctantly and said, "Mother, the child is peeing. I want to change his diaper. You Are there a few diapers here?"


    "Yes, clean it." Mother Zhou smiled and hugged the baby out. After entering her house, Li Qinghe lowered her voice, "Mother, I have something to say, what kind of person is the person who married the fifth sister?"


    Mother Zhou was surprised, "It''s pretty good."


    Li Qinghe lowered her voice and whispered to her just now He''s mother. At the end, I was afraid that she would not pay enough attention to it, saying, "Mother, I think it is very important to live a good relationship between husband and wife. After a tiring day, there is someone who is willing to distress and accommodate. Five sisters, life is more comfortable."


    Zhou Mu looked cautious, "She really said that?"


    "I just left." Li Qinghe sighed, "I see the fifth sister, it seems to be about this marriage..."


    Her words stopped, because Wumei didn''t know when she was now at the door, her hand was raising the curtain, her face paled, "Sister-in-law, is this true?"


    "I don''t know." Li Qinghe said calmly. Seeing her face, he couldn''t bear it. "How much I have to ask about this matter, maybe she is dissatisfied with our rejection of her marriage, deliberately saying these things to make your marriage impossible."


    After the Chinese New Year, the fifth sister is also seventeen, and she is married late.


    Mother Zhou touched her head, "We can''t listen to other people''s nonsense. In this way, I will inquire about it and talk about it later. Don''t worry."


    This time this person, named Zhao Liyuan, has an older sister named Zhao Yu, who married to Liujia Village. It¡¯s worth mentioning that their home and Zhao Tianfu¡¯s home are very close. Zhou Mu went out for a while, and when she came back half an hour later, her brows were slightly frowned, "Zhao Liyuan really knows Yang Rongrong. The two live close together, so they are really together. Growing up, Yang Rongrong married someone last month and is now Zhao Liyuan''s cousin."


    She pondered for a long while, "Actually, there are not many people who still worry about the bottom of my heart after getting married."


    But if you are unlucky, you are in the minority, what can you do?


    The fifth sister was pale, "Don''t worry, he will come on the first day of the new year anyway, and I will see when that time, if he really has the mind, this marriage..." Her voice became dumb, and her tears fell, "It''s better to get back. ."


    Mother Zhou hugged her on the back and patted, "Don¡¯t cry, people are so long in your life, where are you? When your father died, I felt that the sky was falling, but then I still had you. I hurt you, so I didn¡¯t even dare to be sad. Later, your fourth brother was lost. I was so excited. Sure enough, you were about to give birth and I was still in labor. At that time, I thought I was going to die, but I didn¡¯t expect to be alive. After coming down, your fourth elder brother came back within two days... The marriages of your elder brothers squeezed together in the first two years. I didn¡¯t dare to sleep the whole night... People will experience many difficult things throughout their lives. After a few years, you Looking back at your current difficulties, it is actually nothing."


    Wumei nodded with tears in her eyes, threw herself into Zhou''s arms and cried happily.


    This matter hasn''t been found out yet, and Zhou''s mother hasn''t told Zhang Haiyao that apart from the unhappy fifth sister during the Chinese New Year, Zhou''s mother occasionally worries, this year''s reunion dinner is still very happy.


    After the meal, Li Qinghe and the two went home to watch the night. This year, there is one more villain and a lot of joy in the New Year, which is very good.


    The next morning, because of something, Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe went to Li¡¯s house early in the morning. Li Fu was also very happy. He had already prepared the food. For the past six months, he cooked the food by himself. Craftsmanship is simply heaven and earth.


    Even Li Qinghe wanted to help but was refused. She was surprised to cook a table of food on her own. Looking at the food on the table, she felt a little bit sorrowful. It was Chinese New Year yesterday and Li Fu was the only one in her family. She couldn''t help saying, "Father, if you feel lonely, you can find a partner."


    Li Fu was taken aback, then smiled, "I''m quite old."


    In fact, they are only less than forty. People nowadays generally live to be more than 60 years old, and there are still more than 20 years left.


    She instructed, "Don''t let Aunt Qian come back, you will have to take care of her then. Find someone you take care of each other and who are willing to go to the field with you during the spring plowing and autumn harvest. Even if you can''t do the work, you can speak with you. ."


    "How is the child? It has been cold recently, don''t let him catch a cold." Li Fu looked at the baby in Zhou Chengkang''s arms.


    The topic turned a bit bluntly, and Li Qinghe didn''t continue, but instead talked about the usual funny things of the child, such as spanking and startling him. He laughed.


    After eating, there was still something in Zhou''s family over there, Li Qinghe got up and went out, "Father, there is something to do today, we have to go back, you..."


    In fact, if Li Furuo had a Yue family, he should go to the Yue family to give New Year gifts today.


    "Go back, if I want you, I will come here by myself. I slept late last night. I drank again just now. I will go back and sleep for a while."


    Li Fu happily escorted them to the gate of the yard, waved at them, and when they walked away, when they turned their heads, they saw Zhao Wanwan coming from a distance.


    He pretended not to see it, turned around and entered the door, by the way he bolted the door, then went into the house and went to sleep!


    As for the Zhou family, it was a totally different scene. Zhang Haiyao and Mei enthusiastically welcomed Zhao Liyuan, who was still a little shy, into the door, took the gift from him, and laughed, "It''s not an outsider, there is no need to take a gift."


    Zhao Liyuan looked at Wumei and smiled at her, "It should be."


    If it had been before, Wumei should have been shy, but now, she flicked the curtain and entered the door.


    Zhang Haiyao was a little surprised. She did find something wrong with the fifth sister in the past two days. She was obviously happy after the marriage was set up earlier. She was depressed for these two days, and she was not even ashamed to see her fiance now.


    She and Mei looked at each other, and both saw the doubt in each other''s eyes, but they did not move slowly and greeted people in the door.


    When the two of Li Qinghe arrived, and not long after Zhao Liyuan arrived, Mr. Zhou and his third brother were accompanied, and the fifth sister and Zhou Mu went to the kitchen.


    Zhou Chengkang went to the house with the baby while Li Qinghe went to the kitchen.


    Zhang Haiyao leaned over, pointed at the fifth sister over there, and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    Mother Zhou frowned, her face was not good, and she whispered the matter, "What do you say? Anyway, if you don''t know what he is thinking, this marriage will not happen."


    Zhang Haiyao frowned, "Why don''t I go find that Yang Rongrong and see his attitude in person?"


    As soon as the words were spoken, several people looked at her like a fool. Today, on the first day of the new year, all the married girls have to go back to their natal family, so Yang Rongrong is designated to be in her family¡¯s family. That¡¯s it, how can you call me here?


    Seeing the unbelieving expressions of several people, Zhang Haiyao rolled up her sleeves and strode out, "Just wait!"


    Mei was a little worried, and asked, "Will there be anything?"


    Zhou Mubai glanced at her, "I don''t know."


    Two quarters of an hour later, a group of people greeted outside Zhou''s house. The leader was Zhao''s mother, followed by Zhao Liyuan''s father and sister and brother-in-law, and there was also a young couple who were panting. Zhang Haiyao, who led the way, was too tired. A finger quietly pointed at the young woman, and everyone instantly understood, and they all looked at the girl.


    She was dressed in a pink shirt and looked soft and beautiful. Her face was anxious at this time. Seeing Zhang Haiyao motionless, she asked directly, "Where is Liyuan?"


    "It''s in the house." Zhang Haiyao grabbed her and walked in.


    Several people in the kitchen quickly followed, and after entering the door, Zhou''s mother said anxiously, "The snack I just brought you can''t eat."


    He looked at everyone in the Zhao family, "That dim sum is too long, my old-eyed dim eyes, I brought it out, Liyuan, does your stomach hurt?"


    Zhao Liyuan''s gaze was on Yang Rongrong, he was surprised at first, then frowned, "Rongrong, why are you here?"


    "They said that you had eaten your stomach. I''m afraid you would eat bad things like the Yang family did before," she said, two steps forward, and she was about to touch his forehead.


    Zhao Liyuan avoided, took two steps back, and looked at his cousin, "Second brother, I''m fine, it''s all a misunderstanding, you can go home with your sister-in-law."


    He looked at his own father and mother and sister-in-law, and then at Zhou Mu, with a big smile, "Auntie, you have a wrong memory, the snack has not been served yet."


    "No." Li Qinghe came in with a plate of dim sum, "My mother is getting older and remembered wrong. She hasn''t brought it in yet, and she was shocked when she saw that the plates were gone."


    It seemed that it was an oolong. When this happened, Zhou Mu was very embarrassed and warmly invited the Zhao family to dinner. As for Yang Rongrong, her man took her to leave.


    After eating a meal and sending the guests away, the Zhou family brothers were all at a loss except Zhou Chengkang.


    Zhang Haiyao was a little proud, "If he is sensible, Zhao Liyuan should come to explain it by himself. If he wants to fool it, this marriage really cannot be agreed."


    The author has something to say: here it is. A bit late, good night everyone

 Chapter 85： woman

    Just before eating, the Zhao family consisted of several people, and the Zhou family itself had many people, so they had to accommodate the guests, so the Zhou family actually did not eat well.


    Zhou''s mother brought out grains and meat and vegetables for everyone to cook. Dinner was also eaten here. There were many people cooking. When it was getting dark, the food was put on the table again. Everyone was preparing to eat, and someone knocked on the door outside.


    It¡¯s only the first day of the junior high school today. There shouldn¡¯t be anyone besides the neighbors. Zhou¡¯s mother opened the door herself.


    Then just listen to her calling outside, "Fifth Sister..."


    Sister Wu opened the curtain and went out. Soon Mother Zhou came back, "Zhao Liyuan is here, talk to Sister Wu, eat and eat."


    He picked up the bowl and gave Zhang Haiyao a piece of meat.


    Zhang Haiyao has been in the door for so long, because the betrothal gift is still domineering and unpleasant. This is the first time Zhou''s mother has treated her like this, and she suddenly smiled, "Mother, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you will come to me."


    Mother Zhou sipped her, "Crow''s mouth."


    Suddenly, Zhang Haiyao opened her mouth, "I was wrong."


    Wumei didn''t stay outside for long, and soon brought in Zhao Liyuan.


    After entering the door, Zhao Liyuan leaned to Zhou''s mother, "Madam, there are some things that I didn''t say. After I went back and thought about it, I still felt wrong. I came here to explain to you."


    Mother Zhou reduced her smile on her face, put down the dishes, "I really want to hear your explanation."


    Zhao Liyuan took a deep breath. "Rong Rong grew up with me. I really liked her. Then we got older. She said she liked me too. Then we made an appointment to get married..."


    Hearing this, everyone in the room frowned slightly or severely.


    "But later, she and my third brother healed, and then they got married quickly, and they got married last month." Zhao Liyuan lowered his head, and his voice became quieter, "I found my third brother, and I knew that Rongrong had already married The third brother agrees with each other. Knowing this, I don¡¯t think about her anymore. The fifth sister is very good, and I will treat her well in the future. Today, in the presence of several older brothers, sisters-in-laws, and aunts, I dare to do so Say, if you think I¡¯m not doing well in the future, just hit me."


    Sincere attitude and sincere tone.


    Zhou''s mother''s complexion eased. In fact, as long as she didn''t have to have a sweetheart, even if she had the intention before, as long as she got married, it would be fine to live well. "Come over for dinner."


    Zhao Liyuan was overjoyed, sat down on the table properly, had dinner, and also helped send the dishes to the kitchen.


    Zhou Mu was even more satisfied after seeing her. After finishing the dishes, I asked him to talk, "Your third wife, do many men have a heart for her?"


    Zhao Liyuan said silently, "I don¡¯t know, I just treat her as innocent and innocent, and like to make friends. But then I learned that she has more good brothers, besides me and the third brother, there are two other cousins ??of mine, she There seem to be two or three in Maternal Ancestor Village."


    It''s not surprising that He Chu is also inside.


    Li Qinghe is speechless, this girl is quite powerful, in fact, if you want so many men to circle her, first of all you can''t expose her relationship with Zhao Liyuan, and...who knows that Zhao Liyuan is the only one who has promised her a lifetime?


    After Zhao Liyuan left this time, everyone was also happy. Wu Mei took out the red silk that she had thrown aside in the past two days, asked Zhou''s mother to cut it, and asked a few sister-in-law embroidery patterns.


    To say that the embroidery work is the best, it must be Yu Yan. She has all kinds of embroidery samples, and Wu Mei''s own craftsmanship is also good. Therefore, it was agreed that she would go to Li Qinghe and ask Yu Yan to borrow an embroidery sample. come.


    In the first lunar month, the weather this year seemed to be okay. Each family began to take care of the grass. Li Qinghe and the two took a child to finish the house. In fact, there was not much free time.


    Don''t worry, after burying the sweet potatoes in the ground, waiting for everyone to clean up, then ask someone to come and help with work.


    Last year, every family relied on sweet potatoes to survive the drought, and even because sweet potatoes could sell food and eat sweet potatoes to fill their stomachs, everyone in the village started growing sweet potatoes this year. Some people even came to Li Qinghe for advice.


    After the first person who came to see her sweet potatoes, several waves of people came to ask for advice almost every day.


    On Li Fu''s side, Li Qinghe had instructed him not to bury the sweet potatoes, just come and pinch the seedlings later.


    By the time the child was over a hundred days old, it was already February, and the barley in the fields of each family was almost finished. Li Qinghe asked Li Fu and Li Kui to invite people to plant them in three days. She was kind of deliberate. Originally, the relationship between Li Fu and his father and eldest brother was indifferent. In the final analysis, it was because of the Qian clan. Now that the Qian clan is gone, this relationship can be alleviated.


    Sure enough, after three days of work together, they get along well. How can they not say a word if they come in and out at the same time?


    It is worth mentioning that, due to too many requests, the work was actually done in two and a half days. After eating dinner at noon in the last half day, Li Qinghe simply let everyone go to work in Li Fu''s field. Don''t look at it for only half a day, so many people squeezed into the field, stupefied that all the rest of Li Fu''s land was finished.


    In the following days, Zhou Chengkang will help her mother with work. This year Zhou¡¯s mother is very busy. After she has to clean up the ground, she will begin to be dowry for the fifth sister. Besides, the meat dishes at home are also It has to be prepared in advance.


    Recently at home, Wumei also took the time to come over to find Yu Yan to embroider the wedding dress together. By the way, she can give some advice. Sometimes Li Qinghe goes to the kitchen to cook, she will also help see the children for a while.


    On this day, Li Qinghe was still in the kitchen and heard someone knock on the door. Originally, they didn¡¯t have many guests living here, but because of the fish ponds, they have been busy with spring ploughing recently. Many people will ask relatives or brothers to help. Prepare some meat dishes, and the generous one will come over to catch a fish.


    She thought that a customer was coming to buy fish, and when she opened the door, she was still an acquaintance.


    It was the Yang Rongrong who had only met once. Seeing that it was her, Li Qinghe had heard Zhao Liyuan talk about what she had done, and that day she seemed to be unaware of his attitude towards him. Hi, he rolled his eyes and asked, "Girl buying fish?"


    Yang Rongrong was taken aback, turned around and looked at the fish pond, "Help me catch one."


    Li Qinghe went out, closed the door smoothly, and helped her catch a fish of more than four catties. After collecting the silver, he turned around and walked in.


    Yang Rongrong carried a fish, "Hey, Sister-in-law."


    What Sisao?


    There is no girl named Yang who can call Li Qinghe''s sister-in-law, except for a few brothers and wives from Zhou''s family.


    So, she pretended not to hear, and went straight in.


    "Sister-in-law on Thursday!" Yang Rongrong chased for two steps, "I heard that the fifth sister is here, I want to see her."


    "What did you ask her to say?" Li Qinghe turned around and stood at the door blocking the door. "It''s the same with me. It''s the same. My son is asleep. I''m afraid you will wake him up when you go in. It''s really inconvenient."


    Hearing the movement, Wumei had gone out and stood in the yard. Yang Rongrong, who was still entangled, saw this, "Just... Did she misunderstand me and Brother Liyuan, I want to explain to her, Brother Liyuan, I have regarded him as an older brother since I was young, and everything between us No."


    Li Qinghe nodded, "I know, let me remind you that now he is not your brother, but your cousin. He is already married. How can he even get his name wrong?"


    While muttering, he closed the door with a bang.


    Almost hit Yang Rongrong''s nose.


    Seeing this, Wumei couldn''t help but chuckle.


    "Sister-in-law, don''t need to be like this." Wumei smiled.


    Li Qinghe spread his hands, "Initially I thought Zhao Liyuan might lie, but now it seems that people didn''t talk nonsense at all." He also asked, "Don''t believe it. If she asks you to say something, you can directly Just ask Zhao Liyuan, he can¡¯t believe in his own people just to believe in outsiders, right?"


    "In fact, many misunderstandings between husband and wife are not honest enough." Li Qinghe entered the kitchen, saw Wumei follow in, and continued, "If you have anything to ask directly, just say it clearly. Like her..." She pointed her finger outside the door, "I can''t take advantage of it."


    Wumei smiled and nodded, "I understand."


    When it was time to plant the sweet potato seedlings, Li Qinghe invited another round to plant the sweet potato seedlings, and there was not much to do at home. In this village, like her, all people are invited, including the Yang family next door.


    Even though their family has moved to live in the village, the Yang family and their children have never been to the land.


    It is worth mentioning that Yang Lanrou has married to Xu''s family. During the spring plowing this year, she ran back to her natal family and she has not yet returned.


    What''s more, Hu Yanxi had already set off for the county seat again, and he was alone this time. Maybe it was not enough entanglement. This year living in Zhao''s house, a lot of troubles came out. The woman Zhao Tianfu looked for had a child two days ago and was still a boy.


    Having a child this year, even if the spring ploughing is over, she can¡¯t go up the mountain to chop wood with Zhou Chengkang, so she had to stay at home with the child, and the weather was fine, so she took the child back to Li¡¯s house and gave it to her father. Some steamed buns go over.


    As soon as I walked in, I saw a strange woman in the yard, dressed in a fine cloth, cleaning the yard, and in the corner over there was a large piece of Li Fu''s clothes.


    Seeing her entering the door, the woman rubbed her hands awkwardly and took a small step back.


    Li Qinghe was a little dazed to see a stranger in her yard, but after seeing her like this, he recovered, "You...Is my father home?"


    The woman nodded hurriedly, "Yes, grow vegetables in the backyard."


    The author has something to say: See you tonight.

 Chapter 86： Past

    Li Qinghe put the bun in the kitchen and found that it was cleaned up, even cleaner than when they were at home before. The firewood in front of the stove was neatly stacked.


    The woman was still standing there. She went straight to the backyard. Li Fu was turning over and seeing her coming. He dropped his **** and said, "I look at the child."


    He bends over to tease the child, a child who has been over a hundred days old, because Li Qinghe and the two often talk to him, and will grin when they see people. Li Fuhuan is overjoyed, "Know me, do you want me to hold it?"


    In fact, it was just asking, he really wanted to hug, but at this moment, he was covered with dirt, and it was enough to make a gesture. Li Qinghe looked at his smiling brows and asked, "Father, who is the person outside?"


    "Have you seen it?" He sighed and continued, "Her surname is Liu, from the village of Liu''s family, and your eldest aunt''s native sister is also a hard life. The man is gone, she takes her daughter to live by herself. In front of your aunt I went back a few days and found that she was homeless. When I came back, I told your grandfather and grandmother that your grandfather and grandmother came here specially and told me to find someone to live with and let them rest assured."


    "There are so many people in my life who are sorry. I''m not filial to my parents, to my wife, and to my children... I just thought, I have to be worthy of someone, so I said let her come and see. When I came back, I had to work for me. I was not familiar with it. I felt embarrassed, so I went to the backyard to work."


    I never thought that this woman was actually found by Li Kui for her son, but watching her clean the yard and kitchen, and the clothes she washed out, she was indeed a very diligent person. If she took care of Li Fu, it would be fine.


    When she went to the front yard with the baby in her arms, Liu clanked her hands very stiffly and smiled barely at her.


    Li Qinghe smiled back, and then went home with the baby.


    In the afternoon, her grandmother and Liu''s came home.


    The three of Li Kui''s ancestors and grandsons treated her very well. Every time they asked them for help, they were very happy, especially Li Kui, every time she didn''t need her salary, they just ate a meal, basically for nothing.


    Therefore, Li Qinghe respected her grandmother very much. She would sometimes ask Zhou Chengkang to send a piece of fish to her grandmother. When the sweet potatoes were just harvested, she also asked Li Xingwang to take some back.


    Her grandmother was also from Liucun. Even though Liucun''s Wumei''s family had a lot of land at that time, but in fact, Liucun lived close to the town, with a small land and a large number of people. There were many girls married to Wangwang Village.


    Grandmother Quan, a neat woman, sometimes quarreled with Liu, but on the whole, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along pretty well. After entering the door, I scanned the yard, quite satisfied, "I like this house. Cleaned up quickly."


    After entering the door and sitting down, Quan Shi said again, "I''m here today, just for your father. On the New Year''s Day, I asked your brother to invite him. He can''t live or die. Then I went by myself..." She wiped her face. "There are two dishes on the table. The room is deserted. He still drinks by himself. The dishes are cold. Qinghe, you have also become a mother. If your son is like this..." She patted her chest, "I feel bad! The Qian family is very harmful, just a fairy, if she really can live a good life, I won¡¯t say anything, but she is a lazy, I can see it before getting married, go up the mountain with your father, no matter if it is It was your father who helped her to mow the grass or the firewood. At that time, I knew that this marriage didn''t happen. If it was done, your father must take care of her forever!"


    "Actually, at the time the Qian family asked for a high bride price. At that time, your grandfather and I were still young. If we really wanted to, we could clen our teeth together. The big deal would be the ten-year debt!" The more he said, the more angry the Quan family, "If it is a good one , I can¡¯t say that I really did what he meant, but it made me work hard for more than ten years to enter the door to marry her, I can¡¯t figure it out. So, against your father¡¯s will, he hired your mother to enter. For this, your father also blamed me. Over ten years."


    "I''m sorry for your mother for making her wronged and wronged you too. Your father doesn''t care for you. The woman of the Qian family always has a sharp mouth, letting her work like killing her..."


    Liu patted her on the back, "Mother, it''s far away."


    Quan Shi nodded, "I hate her when it comes to talking about her. It was three days and three nights and I couldn¡¯t finish it. What do you mean by a woman who protects a man from her parents? How often does she come here these years? Can I drive her out?"


    "Mother." Liu cried her again.


    Quan Shi waved his hand, "Don''t talk about her." He took a sip of water from the cup and praised, "In fact, the spring water in the west of the village tastes very good."


    "Originally, I was thinking about waiting for your father if he didn''t contradict Nizi before coming over to mention this to you. But I heard Nizi say you saw her today?"


    Li Qinghe nodded, "I saw it."


    "Nizi is very diligent, but she has bad luck. The man who married is sick. She has been there for three years. She has been there for three years. Her mother-in-law is a jerk, and she wants her to marry her uncle. Yes. Your cousin¡¯s maternal ancestor is her native uncle. After hearing this, he ran to make a fuss and broke off with the other side. This brought their mother and daughter back. But she had no home when she came back. , The elder brothers and sisters here did not let her in. It has been half a month since she came back, and they are all living in your eldest mother''s family." Quan''s family went to drink water again.


    Liu''s smiled, "Qinghe, although I mentioned this matter, if you don''t want to, I''ll help her find someone else, mainly because I''m afraid that Qian''s will come back again and make your grandmother angry again."


    Not to mention, it is really possible for Qian to come back. From the time when Li Fu¡¯s land lease changed her name, it can be seen that this woman regarded her father¡¯s land as her own, or that she and Li Fu jointly owned it. Yes, so I came to ask for it.


    Quan Shi sneered, "If she comes back again, this time it will be your father asking for it again. I didn''t refuse to agree. She ran to the Zhao family''s yard every day, and her reputation became like that. Then she would not be a living person! Qinghe, even if It doesn''t matter if you don''t agree to Nizi, the big deal is to find someone, even if your father won''t find someone in the future, I won''t let her in!"


    In fact, Li Qinghe doesn''t object to Li Fu marrying again, but he can''t live like the Qians. At least he comes back from work and has a hot meal, right? Also, if you are always angry at the cold war, and do not speak for ten and a half months, who can stand it?


    She held the cup and said frankly, "If Dad is willing, I won''t object."


    The Quan family was very pleased when he was able to speak, "Qinghe, you really are a sensible child."


    After sending the two away, it was getting dark. She moved the child¡¯s crib under the eaves and went to the kitchen to cook. The meal was still not ready. Zhou Chengkang had already returned and went into the kitchen to help. She couldn¡¯t help but mutter, "You Just bring the kids, no need to cook."


    He smiled and asked, "Go to the restaurant tomorrow, are you going to town?"


    Li Qinghe wanted to go, not for things, but for the children to see more people, and the more lively children were not afraid of birth.


    At night, when she said about Liu Nizi, Zhou Chengkang hugged her and asked in a low voice, "Don''t you want your father-in-law to marry again?"


    "No." Li Qinghe said sincerely, "If there is someone who knows how to take care of him, I can rest assured."


    It''s okay to be young at home, but when I get older, no one knows if I fell.


    Zhou Chengkang patted her, "Father is also a few dozen years old, and he knows it in his own mind. Go to bed, and get up early tomorrow."


    Every time they go to town, it¡¯s very early, and it¡¯s too bright to leave. This time Li Qinghe intends to buy a good material to make clothes for the child in Yu Yan¡¯s stomach. Yu Yan also did it for her earlier, counting the time, at most She is about to give birth in two months.


    When I passed Zhou¡¯s house in the morning, Zhou¡¯s mother and Wumei were already up. Today is the fair, and they plan to go. Wumei¡¯s wedding will be coming in a few days. I have to go to town to see if the furniture is ready. If it¡¯s not ready yet , It must be urged.


    Seeing the carriage passing by the door, Zhou Mu Yu Guang took a glance and shouted, "Fourth!"


    Then, there were more mother and daughter in the carriage, and Zhou''s mother took the child over and stretched out her hand to tease, "I blame your parents for getting up so early. Why did you go out so early? Didn''t you sleep well? "


    The child lay in the swaddle and giggled at his grandmother, making Zhou''s mother''s smile brighter than him.


    This road was too familiar, and the journey went smoothly. When the carriage stopped at the entrance of the town, Zhou''s mother took Wumei and left.


    The two went to the restaurant first. Chen Chuzi saw the child she was holding and smiled and said, "I heard that you had a baby, but I haven''t seen it." He reached out and touched the child''s face. Putting a dime of silver into the swaddle, when she saw that she wanted to refuse, she waved her hand and said, "It is my heart."


    Li Qinghe didn¡¯t say anything. He would come back later when he had a happy event. Chef Chen looked outside and asked in a low voice, "Lady Liu in the backstreet, I fell down a few days ago. I heard it was serious. It won''t work."


    Since he left Zhou''s house, he would run into him occasionally when he came over. If the other person missed it, he would not even say hello. Li Qinghe asked curiously, "How did you fall?"


    Chef Chen shook his head, "It was a quarrel. Didn''t she sell her daughter-in-law¡¯s tofu recipe? The one who came to her two days ago was the person who sold the recipe, not to mention that the recipe she gave was incomplete. Why not sell delicious food as your elder brother, let her hand over the complete recipe.


    "She couldn''t give it up again. The people here were not convinced, and then they quarreled. After that, they pushed and pushed a few more. She was pushed by the woman and fell firmly to the ground. At that time, she couldn''t get up. Still lying on the bed..."


    The author has something to say: here, see you tomorrow afternoon.

 Chapter 87： Newcomer

    They''ve heard it, but they don''t think she can still have a relationship with her family.


    The two bought fabrics, bought some fresh meat, and brought them back to cook porridge for their children.


    When I went back, I took Zhou¡¯s mother and daughter along with him. In the carriage, Li Qinghe talked about her being injured by a man. Zhou¡¯s mother frowned first, and then thought of something. When she got off the carriage, she said, ¡°Fourth, send your eldest brother and the others in a while. Where is Granny Liu."


    The two looked at each other, and Mother Zhou explained, "Lady Liu¡¯s money was earned by your sister-in-law¡¯s method, and they had an agreement earlier that your eldest brother will give her the end of life. Now she is lying in bed and can¡¯t get up. It¡¯s when they are needed as a couple."


    Li Qinghe understood that all the money of Mrs. Liu, including the yard she now lives in, was obtained with Mei''s tofu recipe. Now she is dying, and Mei should go and get her own things back.


    Hearing Zhou''s mother''s explanation, Zhou Chengkang knew it instantly, so Li Qinghe entered the Zhou family''s yard, planning to wait for him to return home after sending people away.


    There are just a few days left for Wumei¡¯s marriage, so I can help by the way. Zhou''s mother was counting the dishes with her fingers.


    Zhang Haiyao was a little bit sour, "If everything goes well, my eldest brother and sister-in-law will be the richest person in our family."


    "Don''t talk nonsense!" Zhou Mu scolded and asked, "Is this a fish?"


    "No." Zhang Haiyao answered, "A fish is not cheap now. No matter who our family produces, it is not a small sum."


    If Li Qinghe had fish, she would have meat.


    Mother Zhou frowned, "Why don''t you go? Anyway, I will have this happy event, and I will send the fifth sister out, and my days will be free from now on."


    She said so, and the two of them didn''t talk much.


    After thinking about it, she said again, "I don''t need it anymore. With the silver, it''s better to help the five sisters pull two feet of cloth to get the benefits."


    After the eldest husband and wife went to the town, they never came back, so they stayed in Liu Po''s yard.


    There is no one in Liu Pozi''s family, and there is no one close to Liu Village. She sells tofu early and returns late, and she is not familiar with the neighbors around her. Anyway, the eldest husband and wife moved in very smoothly, and no one said anything.


    On March 14th, Zhou''s house became lively. Li Qinghe took the children and couldn''t help this time, so he greeted the guests outside. Because of Sweet Potato and her selling fish, many people know her now, and it is quite lively.


    He''s also came to help today, and when she was free, she pulled her aside, "Qinghe, I beg of you aunt."


    Seeing her serious, Li Qinghe also reduced some of the smiles on her face, "You said."


    "That¡¯s right, wasn¡¯t it a drought last year? Then our family¡¯s grain production decreased, and now the price of food in the town is getting higher and higher. I can¡¯t afford it, can I..." She lowered her voice, "You borrow some sweet potatoes for me ."


    "It''s not that I have to ask you to borrow. Brothers and sisters and younger siblings over there can borrow, but they talk a lot, I am afraid they will go out and talk." He said bitterly, "Your cousin and your cousin are now discussing marriage. "


    If people know that He''s family now borrows grain to eat, no matter what it is, it will have some impact on the marriage of the children.


    "Yes." Li Qinghe smiled slightly, "I still have one to borrow a hundred catties."


    Seeing her readily agreed, He''s smile deepened, patted her arm and smiled, "Well, I''ll come over and get it in a few days."


    The fifth sister got married, and Zhou''s eldest came back to personally send her out, while Mei stayed in town.


    On March 15th, the bustle started early in the morning, and Zhao Liyuan was surrounded by the crowd to welcome the newlyweds. Amidst the noise of the crowd, the Zhou family sent away the fifth sister. Everything went well, and the Zhao family was quite sincere. Whether it was the sedan chair for the welcoming team or the dishes prepared by the Zhao family, they were considered the best in the village.


    This happy event is quite complete.


    Although he was only talking to guests in the past two days, Li Qinghe also felt tired. He went back and had a good night''s sleep. The next morning, he was about to get up and go back to Zhou''s house for dinner. Someone knocked on the door.


    When I opened it, it turned out to be the third child, "Lady Liu in the town is seriously ill. My eldest brother said, the doctor has already told me about the affairs of the past few days. Would you like to check it out?"


    It was okay for a visit. Li Qinghe and the two took a piece of meat, gave the child to Zhou''s mother, and went to town.


    Liu''s yard is not big, and there is a woman in it who waits for her to live. She lay on the bed and groaned and yelled pain. Seeing the Zhou family brothers, she said angrily, "I''m not dead yet. You don''t need to be hypocritical. It''s all for me. Did you come for the money? I wouldn''t give it to you."


    "Not for your silver." Mei''s came in with the medicine, "When you are an elder, just come and see you by the way. If you are reluctant, I will let them go."


    Liu Pozi raised her hand and waved the medicine bowl to the ground. Seeing Mei stooped to pick it up, she soon brought in another bowl. She looked at the medicine bowl and asked, "Don''t you hate me?"


    Mei shook his head, "It''s just a bad life, I can''t blame anyone."


    Anyway, he worked hard and complained, regardless of the appearance of beating and scolding, when he sent Li Qinghe and the others out, Zhou Laosan couldn''t help but said, "This stinky temper, what do you care about her, anyway, you are always waiting."


    Mei smiled, "It doesn''t matter, it''s only a few days anyway. And..." She looked around, "I have found her silver, and I''ve found another place to hide it. Take care of her. It''s all about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."


    In this way, a few people stopped talking.


    Two days later, Po Liu died. Zhou Chengkang drove to the chariot, and on the day of the burial, Li Qinghe and Zhang Haiyao both put their children at home and went to the town to send her off.


    Many people say that Po Liu''s life is not good, the man died early, and the white-haired man gave the black-haired man. But with good luck, I met a good daughter-in-law and took her with her when she remarried. Not only gave her the end of her retirement, but also brought her brothers and sisters with her.


    After Po Liu died, Mr. Zhou and the two moved to live in the town. They both knew that Po Liu¡¯s money was obtained from selling tofu. For the couple moved in, although some people said sour words, no one could say anything. They can''t live in that yard.


    As for the person who pushed Po Zi Liu to the ground earlier, he has already ran away.


    The new buyer''s business is not as good as Zhou''s boss, that''s for sure, it''s the same taste, customers will subconsciously buy from people who have been selling for many years, saying that Liu Pozi''s leaving one hand is purely unreasonable and wants to blackmail. After seeing a human life, where would you dare to come back?


    When the matter on Po Liu''s side was finished, it was already at the end of March. Li Fu personally went to his daughter''s house and asked her to go home for dinner on the first day of October. He wanted to live with Liu Nizi.


    You don¡¯t have to worry about it, just have a meal with your family and neighbors.


    Looking at the attitude of Quan''s speech that day, Li Qinghe guessed that sooner or later there will be today, and now he will accept it.


    Li Fu didn''t feel like it, so he brought some on the face, "Qinghe, if you don''t want to, you can tell me directly, in fact, it''s good for me to live by myself."


    "It''s okay," Li Qinghe urged, "You go back and prepare. I will be there by then." He asked, "Do you need help?"


    "No." Li Fu was a little embarrassed, "You Aunt Liu is doing it. She is good at craftsmanship. When I choose a day, I will let her make it and I will invite you to visit and taste her craftsmanship."


    Li Fu will marry again.


    As soon as the news came out, many people found it strange that it was not easy for them to ask for a daughter-in-law. He was already the third one.


    After the surprise, he is only less than 40, and it is impossible not to marry. And recently, he often went to his elder brother''s house, and heard that this daughter-in-law was picked by his parents and meant to ease the relationship with his parents and eldest brother. From now on, he should not stop talking as before.


    When the day came, when Li Qinghe went to Li Fu''s house, he hadn''t turned into the road in the village, and there was a person standing by the road.


    -Qian''s.


    Last time we met, she came to ask Li Qinghe to return the land. A long time has passed.


    Qian seems to be standing here specially waiting for her, "Qinghe, your father marries again, you are willing? I heard that the woman also brought a daughter, when your father loves her, you will not feel uncomfortable?"


    No matter how Li Fu loves her daughter, she won''t be like her own life like Zhao Wanwan. He will treat Zhao Wanwan kindly, purely because of the Qian family.


    Hearing this, Li Qinghe shook his head, "Anyway, I don''t live at home, I don''t see and feel annoying, I don''t care how he hurts."


    He said that he was about to leave, and Qian¡¯s chased him two steps, ¡°Although I sometimes quarrel with you, I¡¯m still good to you? I didn¡¯t treat you badly! Like other stepmothers who don¡¯t feed their children, I¡¯m Treat your father and daughter as family..."


    The stepmother didn''t give the child food or drink. Qian wanted to do that, and Xu couldn''t agree. Furthermore, although Li Kui and his son do not associate, it can be seen from Li Qinghe''s marriage that he does not completely ignore his granddaughter.


    Li Qinghe ignored her madness, Zhou Chengkang glared at her again, and Qian collapsed and shouted, "If he marries again, I will be a joke for so many years!"


    "You live like this by yourself." Li Qinghe turned around, "My father actually treated you very preferentially at the beginning. It was you who eroded his patience a little bit and erased the good impression you had in his heart, making him feel , You are nothing but that."


    After hearing this, Qian was stupefied on the spot as if struck by lightning.


    When Li Qinghe and the two arrived with their children, there were already a lot of people in the yard. Although there was no big deal, I borrowed a few tables and set up four tables.


    Liu Nizi was dressed in a new muslin dress with a shy smile. Although she was a newcomer, she helped everyone to serve dishes.


    The author has something to say: see you tonight

 Chapter 88： Ugly

    Those who came were all close people, no one mentioned the Qians, they all said that they were good matches, and they also said something about living well in the future.


    At the beginning, Li Fu and Qian did not treat guests like this, because Li Kui refused to agree at that time, and threatened that if they really lived together, they would never recognize him again. And the neighbors around them all pointed and pointed at them at first, and didn''t say anything.


    Later, after a long time, he slowly changed his attitude. At first glance, it was no different from others, but in fact it was different. Li Qinghe couldn''t remember who he was very close to.


    It happened that the child was crying. There are so many people today that it is inconvenient to make porridge. Li Qinghe took the child to her own house and planned to close the door and feed first. When passing by Zhao Wanwan''s house, she found that the door was empty and there was a young girl making the bed inside.


    She suddenly remembered that she seemed to have heard from Quan''s family that Liu Nizi had a girl, and their mother and daughter were homeless. Liu Nizi must have brought her daughter when she married.


    She had been outside, and the girl inside saw her too, and hurriedly opened the door, a little nervous, "I...Are you Sister Qinghe?"


    Li Qinghe nodded. The child was crying hard, and she waved her hand, "I have something right now, I''ll talk about it later."


    After that, she hurriedly hugged the child and went to the next room. After a quarter of an hour, the child fell asleep. Since she got married, she has never come back to live in her own house. The bed was not even covered with quilts, so naturally she could not sleep. Going out with the baby in his arms, thinking about asking Zhou Chengkang to take the baby back to Zhou''s house to sleep for a while.


    As soon as I went out, I saw the girl at the door, shy and nervous. Seeing her opening the door, I hurriedly said, "Sister, do you want to help?" Seeing the child asleep, he suggested, "Why don''t you put it in my house?"


    Zhou Chengkang was busy talking to everyone over there. It was not easy to tell him to go, so he nodded, put the child on her newly made bed, and smiled, "You must hug as soon as you wake up, or you may wet the bed."


    "It doesn''t matter." The girl smiled shyly, "My mother called me to beckon."


    What is the name of Zhaodi?


    "Sister, go, I''ll guard at the door, it doesn''t matter if we wet the bed, my bed..." She stretched out her hand and touched it, "It has never been so soft before."


    Li Qinghe was dumb and went out with her, "I''m sorry to trouble you."


    It can be seen that this girl is very grateful for all this, and she is timid, not Zhao Wanwan''s temperament to hide when things happen, but really afraid of things and dare not get in front of others.


    Seeing that she was really planning to stay at the door, she couldn''t help but smile, "There are so many people outside, and they will all be neighbors from now on. Go out and meet."


    From the beginning to the end, he didn''t show any resistance to Zhaodi, her expression was natural, as if she really was her sister. Zhaodi remembered the days when she was often scolded for losing money, and couldn''t help smiling, "Sister, you are so kind."


    Li Qinghe was surprised, "Is that good?"


    Zhaodi nodded, "Well, since I was young, except my mother, no one has ever spoken to me so tenderly."


    While they were talking, the two had already walked under the eaves, turned around and closed the door.


    When Zhao Wanwan entered the door, she saw Li Qinghe under the eaves smiling softly at the other girl. She felt a little sour. She used to be very gentle to her. She also bought hairpins for her and took her to work.


    Seeing Zhao Wanwan entering the door, everyone in the yard turned a blind eye, Quanshi greeted him, "Wanwan, what are you doing?"


    While speaking in a mild manner, but with some caution and questioning faintly, Zhao Wanwan glanced at the two sisters under the eaves over there, and turned around without answering.


    There was a mocking smile at the corner of Quan''s mouth. The woman from Qian''s family was embarrassed to come, so she urged her daughter, but the daughter she raised was a pity.


    In the afternoon, everyone after the meal began to say goodbye, staying close to clean up the dishes.


    Liu Nizi and Zhaodi had already started cleaning each house. After the house was cleaned and the guests outside were almost gone, they started cleaning the yard.


    Li Qinghe also helped. Seeing the crowds in the yard, Li Qinghe went to the kitchen to clean up.


    She is indeed a very hardworking girl, and Li Qinghe feels relieved. As long as it''s not the kind of troublemaker who can live a good life, it''s good.


    Before leaving, Li Fu said, "Come over for dinner tomorrow morning, and we will have our own family."


    When I came back the next morning, there was no noise in the Li family''s yard, and it was as quiet as before. The difference was that the yard had washed clothes and looked much neater.


    Liu Nizi went out of the kitchen and saw her coming in. She smiled and said, "Qinghe is here. Sit down for a while. You''ll have food right away."


    Li Fu was making tea in the room, beckoning Di was wiping the table, and hurriedly asked her to sit down.


    Sitting in the house with her baby in her arms, Li Qinghe found it strange. This was the first time after she came back that she could wait to eat without doing anything. She asked, "Uncle, are they coming?"


    Li Fu stretched out his hand to hug the child, "I asked Lanhua to deliver the food, so I won''t come. They have been busy working these two days."


    Who is orchid?


    Meeting her puzzled eyes, Li Fu smiled, "What kind of name is it? It doesn''t sound good. Besides, our family doesn''t need to hire a brother. The girl''s house is still called Huaer. It will be orchid and willow orchid in the future."


    Li Qinghe looked down, wondering if she had been thinking too much, the Li family didn''t need to recruit diaries, that is, he didn''t need children, and seemed to tell her on purpose.


    However, Zhaodi did not sound good, so I changed it.


    The atmosphere on the table is good. After a meal, the whole family sits together drinking tea after clearing the dishes and chopsticks. Liu laughed and said, "I have to trouble you after a while. Orchid will be married, and I will have to trouble you to come back and help. help."


    "Which one?" Li Qinghe was not surprised. Liu Lanhua was different from Zhao Wanwan. She was raised by Li Fu since she was a child. Lanhua, a young girl who just came, is not good for her to live for a long time.


    "It''s our village," Liu said with a smile, "Orchid doesn''t have a dowry, and I don''t ask for a betrothal gift. It''s a good one."


    "It''s also the thread led by your elder mother, Zhao Dashan at the back. He takes a younger sister to live, have you heard of him?"


    Li Qinghe nodded in surprise, "I''ve heard of it."


    If Zhao Dashan hadn''t had a house and land, and he still had a younger sister dragged down, it would be great. At first, the fifth sister''s spring heart sprouted, but she was facing him, but she never heard her say it again.


    "I know he has nothing, but Lanhua has nothing." Liu''s touched her hair. "We used to have enough of the sins of many people in the family, and it''s good to have fewer people."


    Although they are sisters, they are not familiar with each other carefully, and Li Qinghe didn''t say much. Besides, the marriage has been set, and nothing is redundant.


    The weather gradually warmed up. After Liu entered the door, Li Qinghe occasionally went back to see and found that the two of them had a good time. Three meals a day were hot, the house was cleaned inside and out, and Li Fu was also regular. not worried.


    The child grew older and Zhou Chengkang finally named the child. Earlier, he didn''t know what name he would choose, but he kept dragging him. The Zhou family had "xi" and the child was called Xiyu.


    Now it¡¯s a slack farming season. Li Qinghe only takes children with him when he¡¯s fine. It¡¯s a little boring at home. Besides, it¡¯s better to see more children. It¡¯s a bit far to go to the village. Besides Zhou¡¯s and Li¡¯s, she is not familiar with any other family. Will be as leisurely as her.


    So I went to find Yu Yan. Yu Yan had a big belly. She should be giving birth during this time. These days, Min Rui doesn''t go anywhere and feeds chickens and pigs at home to guard her.


    Originally, the two did not feed the chickens, but Yu Yan did it after she became pregnant, just to help her.


    Yu Yan is used to embroidering, and basically holds them all. Li Qinghe carries Xiyu, so it is naturally impossible to embroider.


    "In other words, in fact, your cheap sister has already decided a marriage, and she will be married in May?"


    Li Qinghe nodded, "Whether you are married."


    "It''s really good." Yu Yan agreed. She watched Xiyu drink the porridge and teased, "It''s not a lot of people and eats a lot."


    "I''m hungry soon." Speaking of children, it was three days and three nights. "And I will eat when I am hungry and howl. You will know later."


    Yu Yan hummed softly, "My child must be a well-behaved girl, gentle and gentle by then." As she said, her eyes glowed and gradually turned into tears.


    Li Qinghe looked stupidly, "Hey, wouldn''t you..." Is this worth crying?


    Yu Yan turned her head and looked at her with tears, "Qinghe, I am not expecting it, I am hurting..."


    After speaking, she took a deep breath, and her tears fell more fiercely, holding her belly in her hand, and trembled with crying, "Hurry up, call Min Rui..."


    Li Qinghe went out with the baby in his arms, and hurried to the backyard to find Min Rui, "Yan''er is about to give birth, hurry up and watch, I will let Chengkang help you find a stable wife."


    She took the baby home, and Min Rui hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I''ll find another doctor. I will trouble you." The voice was getting farther and farther, and people ran to the house quickly.


    When Yu Yan gave birth to a child, it was really howling, because her pot had to boil water, and Li Qinghe went home to help her make soup. She could still hear her voice across two walls. Most of her words were scolding Min Rui.


    Howling until midnight, I finally heard the cry of the child. Li Qinghe fell asleep completely after listening to the child''s crying full of anger.


    The next morning, Li Qinghe went to see her. At that time, she was sitting leaning on the head of the bed, with a baby on her knees, with a look of disgust on her face. Seeing her entering the door, her eyes were hard to say, "Qinghe, I wanted a sweet and soft girl a long time ago, but... you said that the boy born to Min Rui and I, can you still see it?"


    It''s so sad.


    I want Li Qinghe to say that this is idle, insincere comfort, "It will be fine when I grow up."


    "Perfunct me." Yu Yanbai glanced at her.


    "I will be reborn in the future." This was said by the third aunt who was carrying the soup. She entered the door with a smile, gave the soup to her daughter, picked up the child, remembered something, and said, "Qinghe, I will listen when I come in the morning. Said, Wanwan, her husband, was hit by a scholar."


    bingo?


    Unexpectedly, this time they were hit. This year, the two of them lived in Zhao''s house and they had no trouble. They heard that they had a quarrel within a few days, and they were still hit. It seems that the first bitter and then the sweet is true.


    "Yes, I heard that the mayor received the document, and it has spread it all over the town." The third aunt sighed, "There may still be hope for this study. Wanwan is a lady of scholarship. If you are lucky, you will have another one. Juren, she is the official''s wife." The person sweeping the bed with deep meaning.


    After Yu Yan finished the soup, she muttered, "What''s so great about Madam Guan?" She said in an uneasy manner, "Goddamn, you must not say this in front of Min Rui, he can''t listen to this."


    The author has something to say: See you at noon tomorrow. Thanks to the little angel who voted for me or irrigated nutrient solution during 2019-12-1014:06:09~2019-12-1022:45:18~


    Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: 37 bottles of green mountains and green;


    Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

 Chapter 89： Daily Two

    The next day, news about Hu Yanxi''s talents spread all over Wangcun, and for a while, there was everything.


    It is said that Li Fubai raised Hu Yanxi for a year to make wedding dresses for others, and he remarried in early April, and he was selected as a talented talent before May. I heard that when he married again, Qian secretly sought him out, thinking If you want to go back to Li''s house at that time, or if it is the first day of May of the wedding, he will be Xiucai''s father-in-law now.


    Because of this, Li Qinghe was worried and went back to see the baby with her baby. Everything in the Li family¡¯s life was as usual. Liu''s family was pickling vegetables. Seeing her enter the door, he hurriedly greeted, "Qinghe is back? Sit down, I will let Lanhua soak for you tea."


    Li Fu also took a lot of vegetables out of the backyard, "make some pickles, and eat them at the wedding banquet."


    Liu Lanhua¡¯s wedding on the tenth day of May is only about half a month old, and it¡¯s just pickled now.


    "Qinghe, have you eaten yet? I will do it now." Liu asked again.


    Li Qinghe nodded, "No trouble, I have eaten it."


    Seeing that the Li family didn''t seem to be affected by Hu Yanxi''s news, she was relieved. Followed Li Fu to the backyard and saw that the large green vegetables in the back were growing well. Li Fu smiled and teased the child for a while. Seeing her watching the vegetables, he asked, "Would you like to take some back to eat? It is not convenient for you to grow your children now. I don¡¯t want to plant it anymore, and I¡¯ll send you some when I have time. Aunt Liu is a busy person. She likes to tidy up the house most, the vegetable field, and weeds must be pulled out."


    "It''s time to rest," Li Qinghe asked in a low voice, "Father, I heard that Hu Yanxi was hit by a talent, do you know?"


    "I heard." Li Fu carried a knife and went over to chop vegetables. "That''s someone else''s business. It''s still important to live your own life. Don''t think too much about it. We are careful enough with Wanwan mother and daughter. If Wanwan has the heart, she will naturally associate with us. If she doesn''t have that heart, it will still be the same even if we are not separated yet."


    This is the truth. Li Qinghe originally thought the same way. She herself had never expected any benefit from their mother and daughter. She was afraid that Li Fu couldn''t think about it. After all, he didn''t even get along with her parents for the Qian family for several years.


    Seeing that he could figure it out, Li Qinghe was relieved. She took the child and couldn''t help. She stood by and talked for a while and got up and went home. Before leaving, Liu''s family was stuffed with a basket of various vegetables. , She took the children with them, so she asked Lanhua to send them to her.


    Lanhua is timid and silent most of the time. When passing by the village, people who greet Li Qinghe will smile and ask, "Qinghe, is this your sister?"


    Li Qinghe introduced to everyone, and gradually Lanhua would smile at people as a greeting.


    When I left the village, I basically couldn''t meet people. When I reached the gate, Li Qinghe opened the door, Lanhua looked at her pond and asked with a smile, "Sister, will your fish in the pond die?"


    "Yes. Occasionally, the drought last summer killed a lot of me." Li Qinghe opened the door and invited her in.


    Lanhua delivered the dishes directly to the kitchen, and went around in the yard, quite envied, "If my sister is half comfortable in my days, I will be satisfied in this life."


    Li Qinghe smiled and asked her to come in. Lanhua waved her hand, "No, I have to go back and help, so much work."


    She hadn¡¯t left yet. Zhou Chengkang came in from outside. Today, he went to town in a carriage and brought some snacks for Xiyu. Children who are over half a year old can eat something, and coarse grains are still too rough for him. Up. There are not so many messy things in the current snacks. It is made of rice and various flowers plus sugar, which is very good for children.


    "Brother-in-law." Lanhua hurriedly called, and went to help unload the carriage. Zhou Chengkang stopped her movement, "I don''t need you, I will do it myself."


    Lanhua still helped move some things, and then ran away quickly.


    Two more days later, Yu Yan washes three. There are not many people from the village. It is true that she does not know many people herself. It is worth mentioning that both mother and daughter of the Qian family are here. Compared with the silence before, now Both of them were very happy and a little bit energetic.


    Qian sits at the table, a little proud, "Yanxi said that I will live in the town too, but if I go, the Qian family¡¯s house will be destroyed if no one lives. This house must be lived in. ."


    Everyone congratulated the mother and daughter, Zhao Wanwan blushed, and by the way, on the eighth day of May, the Hu''s family in the town would hold a banquet for everyone to go.


    Looking at the mother and daughter surrounded by the crowd, Yu Yan whispered, "This person is reality. I heard that people in the village didn''t talk to both of them before?"


    In the past, Qian was entangled with her husband, and her reputation was not very good. In addition, she didn''t go out very much, and everyone didn''t know her well, at least not as well as she is now.


    "Follow her." Li Qinghe thought very much, "We won''t go anyway."


    Li Fu remarried that day. Although he did not receive any gifts, the people who came to the door brought something with him. On that day, the mother and daughter did not send gifts to the door. It''s all said that people''s favors have come and go, and people don''t come, and Li Fu doesn''t have to go. Besides, that Hu Yanxi has lived in Li''s house for a year, so Li Fu shouldn''t have taken the initiative to join in.


    Except for the Qian''s mother and daughter who were somewhat stealing the limelight, the washing three was still very smooth. Yu Yan was boring in her confinement, and Li Qinghe often accompanied her.


    On the eighth day of May, there were also many people from the village who went to town. By the ninth day of the ninth day, the Li family had to help again.


    It is said that Liulanhua is not prepared for dowry, but in fact, apart from the furniture, all the fabrics and quilts are prepared, not to mention that they are all the silver given by Li Fu.


    On the day of marriage, the fifth sister also arrived at Li''s house. Seeing Zhao Dashan carrying Liu Lanhua up to the bullock cart at the door amidst the noise of the crowd, she sighed slightly, "Sister-in-law, thank you very much."


    With this inexplicable sentence, Li Qinghe was a little surprised, and took her to sit on the table to wait for dinner, "Thank me for what?"


    "I''ve had a good life now." Wumei smiled, "Liyuan will hurt people. Parents and mothers-in-law are busy all day, and I don''t need to go to the ground together, right..." She lowered her voice, " They urged me to have a baby. It just happened that I was a little uncomfortable for the past two days and felt like vomiting. When will my fourth brother go to town, I want to see the doctor."


    "I will go tomorrow." Li Qinghe looked at her belly, "Be careful of yourself."


    On the next day, she was worried, and took the child and siblings to the town to see the doctor.


    Doctor Huang¡¯s medical hall was crowded every time it was set. Even if they went early, there were a few people waiting in front of them, and they ran into Wanwan. Hu Mu, who had not been seen for a long time, accompanied her.


    It just happened to be their turn. They stepped forward and did not notice Li Qinghe who was behind them. They listened to Hu''s mother, "Doctor Huang, please help my daughter-in-law to take a look. They have been married for several years. Why don''t you have a good letter ?"


    No wonder Hu''s mother is anxious. It is calculated that Zhao Wanwan married earlier than her. Doctor Huang took her pulse and asked in a low voice for a long while, saying, "The body is cold, Su Ri is too tired, so take care of it first."


    Mother Hu was anxious, "How long does it take to recuperate?"


    "Who said this clearly?" Doctor Huang''s expression was not very good because more and more people were crowded. "Perhaps half a year, maybe a year or two..."


    "At least half a year." Hu Mu almost screamed, "That won''t work!"


    Doctor Huang glared at her, "Speak down."


    Mother Hu lowered her voice, "Is this...no child for a lifetime."


    Doctor Huang groaned, "Take care carefully, don''t touch cold water, especially in winter, don''t touch cold water, don''t be too tired, eat more and keep your body well. It is still possible."


    "How is it possible not to touch cold water in winter?" Hu Mu frowned.


    At this time, Zhao Wanwan was already pale, and her whole body was stiff stroking her stomach.


    Later, when I went to grab the medicine, it seemed that because the cost of the medicine was too high, Hu Mu argued again, pulling away Zhao Wanwan, who was pale, without paying attention to the few people at the door from start to finish.


    Wumei was indeed pregnant for a month. She was very happy, and Zhou Chengkang was also happy. She also bought dim sum for her. On the way back, the horse almost took a walk and sent the person directly to Zhao''s door.


    The Zhao family¡¯s yard is not big, just like the one in the third aunt¡¯s house. Zhao Liyuan¡¯s father and his uncle were in the same yard and split two small yards.


    Seeing the carriage parked at the door, it was Zhou Chengkang''s. Mother Zhao, who was still cleaning the yard, greeted him with a smile, "Her fourth brother is here, so hurry in."


    Seeing the fifth sister coming out of the carriage again, she was quite surprised and pretended to reprove, "Fifth sister, it''s not too far back to your natal house. Just come back by yourself. I will trouble your fourth brother to run."


    Li Qinghe was holding the child to get out of the carriage, and the fifth sister reached out to pick up the child. She gave the child to his father and said with a smile, "Auntie, thank you. Just now we took the fifth sister to see the doctor in town. One month pregnant."


    Zhao''s mother was startled first, and then overjoyed. She lost her broomstick and reached out to help Wumei, "Really." She shouted again, "His father, Liyuan, come soon."


    In joy, Li Qinghe and the two quietly left.


    When passing by Zhou¡¯s house, I told Zhou¡¯s mother again that after returning home, he packed up a chicken and eggs for Zhou Chengkang to send.


    By the end of May, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The weather this year is still normal. Just looking at the wheat ears, you know that the harvest is better than last year. In addition, there are sweet potatoes this year, and you can see a bumper harvest.


    The harvest is always happy. During this time, many people in the village are borrowing grain, and some people borrowed from Li Qinghe, Zhou Mu, who also came back and borrowed dozens of kilograms of sweet potatoes.


    That day, early in the morning, I heard the Yang family quarreling next door.


    The author has something to say: See you at night, you have something leisurely, and you haven''t caught the insects yet, so let''s take a look and catch them later. Thanks to the little angel who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution during 2019-12-1022:45:18~2019-12-1113:40:36~


    Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: 10 bottles without heart; 5 bottles waiting; 283146592 bottles;


    Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

 Chapter 90： Daily three

    Li Qinghe will inevitably pay more attention to the next door. The weather has been hot recently, and it will be cooler sooner or later. It is best sooner or later to take the child out for a stroll. After the two looked at each other, Zhou Chengkang held the child and led her through the wasteland. Went to Yang''s house.


    The door of the Yang family was open. Li Qinghe, the person standing in the yard, was not familiar with him. He barely knew him. They were all from the village. They were there the last time he bought pork, but he didn''t expect to be here again today.


    "It doesn''t make sense that we are all going to starve to death and still care about this deed, but you are planning well. When we are all dead, you won''t have to pay off the debt, right?"


    "I think it is!"


    "Unscrupulous, you guys will let us have a mouthful of soup if you eat meat..."


    "I really don''t have food in my house, or else I won''t come home. Master Yang, pity our house..."


    "Either borrow food or pay back today, you choose the same!"


    The crowds were noisy, with hoes and sickles, all shouting in the yard. Father Yang is comforting.


    The two looked at each other and quietly retreated.


    These people are probably used to making trouble, knowing what the Yang family is afraid of, and after two successful attempts, they will be ready to visit.


    One is that there are so many people that the yard must be packed. The second is fierce enough, taking the **** and sickle, there is no room for negotiation, and the momentum overwhelms Father Yang. Three, you have to work together, no matter how threatening the Yang family is, they just won''t leave.


    In fact, it¡¯s only June, and the autumn harvest will be at the end of July at the earliest. There is still more than a month. Many people in the village do not have food. As Li Qinghe knows, many people take some coarse grains and boiled vegetables in the ground to eat, although they just drink it. You are not hungry, but you will never starve to death.


    There were indeed droughts in many places last year, but Wangcun really didn''t. Most people quietly sold their food and got sweet potatoes. Don''t look at the food now, it''s just that nowadays the farmer does not work and can''t bear to buy grain with money.


    These people came to the door, maybe they just used this pretense to force the Yang family, their family gathered together on the four acres of wasteland over there, and it would take many years to rely on that person to return the money from the villagers.


    People don¡¯t know whether there are outsiders in other families about silver, but just looking at the moisturizing life that the Yang family has had in the past year, everyone is sloppy. You can see that they still have white flour buns. The Yang family definitely still has silver. But, I don¡¯t know if I can pay the debts of the villagers.


    Those who rushed to force one would definitely get it, and those who were late would really not get it if the Yang family didn''t have it. If it''s really not up by then, can you still bite the Yang family?


    Thinking of this, Li Qinghe said in a low voice, "Go and tell my eldest aunt about them."


    It''s not that she wants to make trouble to add to the Yang family''s traffic, but don''t really leave them in debt, but it''s really nothing.


    Zhou Chengkang nodded slightly. As soon as the two went out, they saw Xu''s mother hurriedly with a few children. Seeing the two of them, she frowned and asked, "What happened inside?"


    "I don''t know." Li Qinghe shook his head and said a word, and the two went home from the wasteland on the other side.


    Although the Yang family did not live in the village, such a big movement was still audible. The food was ready for the two, and the noise next door became more and more noisy, almost overturning the roof. It can be seen that no one is stupid, more and more people are coming.


    The two were still eating, and someone knocked on the door outside. They opened it and found that it was Wumei. She entered the door with a smile, "There are many people next door, and my mother said that I am afraid that I might bump, just let me come here to listen."


    Yes, so many people make trouble, it is really easy to fight.


    "Eat together." Li Qinghe greeted.


    The fifth sister is also welcome, holding the bowl to eat, and helping to clean up the dishes after eating, listening to the noise in the next room gradually becoming quieter, "Is it all right?"


    Sure enough, it didn''t take long for Li Xingwang and Liu''s to come over, and thank you sincerely, "If you didn''t call me, I wouldn''t know that the next door was paying out wages."


    These people are forcing them to pay.


    In fact, everyone knows that the Yang family looks rich, but in fact it is Lai. If I missed this time, I don¡¯t know that the year of the monkey will be sent again. When they take the initiative to send it, I am afraid it will be impossible in this life.


    The fifth sister couldn''t help asking, "Is it done?"


    Liu''s lip curled, "How can it be, there was a disturbance. The Yang family didn''t recognize it at first, not to mention the autumn harvest, there are still two or three months. Everyone didn''t follow, and they changed their words and said that there were not so many, only 30%... ¡­" She took a sip of her tea and wiped the sweat on her forehead. "These people didn''t agree, and only then did they relax."


    Li Xingwang had finished drinking the water and sighed, "Half is fine. If you can''t get the rest, just post a meal."


    When the Yang family hired people, Li Qinghe hired people for fifteen labor dollars. There was a meal at noon, and everyone paid the same price. It''s just that their family doesn''t want to cook and is in debt, so they only have twenty-five articles. Last year, the crowd had a fight, and then it rose to 30, and now it''s half way, which is 15 liters a day. Li Xingwang is right to say so.


    The next door was noisy all day long. At night, there were people who didn''t get their wages and couldn''t stay in the yard of the Yang family, and they slept directly outside the yard.


    It''s summer, but I won''t catch a cold. In the afternoon of the next day, when the Yang family paid the wages, it was considered dismissed.


    The people next door came and went, and occasionally someone knocked on the door. They cut the sweet potato vines and dried them at home. When they came, they came to sit in the yard.


    Seeing that the autumn harvest is about to come, and everyone has to pay their wages again, the people in the village are very happy when it comes to the harvest.


    At night, everyone was finished walking, the door was closed, and the two planned to boil water to wash and sleep, but the door was knocked.


    Li Qinghe went to drive, but it was Father Yang. He smiled, "Qinghe, I have something to discuss with you."


    Zhou Chengkang heard in the courtyard, "Come in."


    Father Yang entered the door and sat under the eaves. He was a little bit decadent. "My family really has no money anymore. It''s grain. It''s all turned into silver to pay off debts. Can your family borrow some money from me to buy grain?"


    Borrow money?


    Seeing that he has paid so much wages in the past two days, he has a few taels of silver to dismiss everyone. He has always said no before, but now he has taken it out. Who dares to believe what he said?


    Besides, Li Qinghe did not owe him anything. Zhou Chengkang smiled and shook his head, "I don''t have money either. It seems that I have a lot of things in my house, but our family can''t do work. Every year, those acres of wasteland have to be taken care of..." He paused, "I still have some in my cellar. Sweet potatoes don¡¯t taste good after being hidden for a year. If you don¡¯t dislike it, you can take a few dozen kilograms back, and you can grow it next year."


    Father Yang was dumb.


    He speaks in a very generous tone, and he will not pay it back this autumn harvest soon, and pay it back next year.


    Seeing him stunned, Li Qinghe also said, "Only this can help you. If you don''t like eating that stuff, we can''t help it."


    People in the village suffered from a drought last year. Many people have eaten this regardless of whether the grain is sold or not. But Yang''s...


    Father Yang finally reacted and explained, "No, I borrowed the silver to pay interest, and the twenty taels of silver will return you thirty taels. You can ask the village chief to write the deed."


    I can''t lend you twenty taels of silver!


    Besides, if you don''t know the money, you still find the village chief to write the deed. If you borrow it today, many people will know that they are twenty taels. This is not a thief.


    Zhou Chengkang stretched his hands and escorted him out with his arms, "No. Master Yang laughed, let alone twenty taels, but there are no two taels. It''s getting late, we need to wash, which is not convenient."


    This is to send him out, it is simply pushed out. In the next two days, I heard that the Yang family borrowed money everywhere, and that Yang Lanrou was also driven back to the Xu family.


    After borrowing a circle, Father Yang came back and took 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes.


    The sweet potato that has been left for a year has a husk on the outside, and the taste is a bit too ripe. It is really not delicious. Since Father Yang came to get it, it may be really exhausted. It is worth mentioning that in the wasteland of the Yang family, no sweet potatoes were grown this year. They have four people in their own family. Only the small harvest in the wasteland might not be enough to eat.


    As the autumn harvest was approaching, Li Qinghe accidentally knew that Zhao Wanwan had moved back to live there, and also learned that Hu''s mother was looking for a concubine room for her son. According to the law, Xiucai could accept a concubine.


    After Zhao Wanwan came back, she didn''t go to Zhao''s house and went back to live with Qian''s house.


    On the day after she came back, Qian took her to the town to find the mayor to be the master, saying: When her brother hurt his biological parents in order to get the funeral, such a frantic thing was actually instigated by someone.


    The one who instigated the money communication was the money Laixing who Su Ri had with him the most. And she mentioned it again after a few years, because Zhao Wanwan only heard Hu Yanxi mention it after being drunk.


    The mayor attached great importance to the two talents who were not many in Luoyue Town, and went to the county seat to report to Lin Zhixian for his decision.


    Especially Qian Laixing, if this matter is true, Qian Laixing really made an instigation, then he is not only a talented scholar, but he is also afraid of being accused.


    When the news came out, everyone became more and more surprised. The Qian couple were also Qian Laixing''s grandparents. They grew up in front of them. Qian Laixing was too ruthless. What did the two brothers learn from their studies?


    Killing one''s own relatives to spend funeral silver, such a vicious idea, one dared to act, and the other dared to act, it really succeeded.


    Had it not been for Zhao Wanwan''s words, this would be because no one would have known it for a lifetime.


    The author has something to say: that''s all for today, and there is something delayed in your leisurely, sorry everyone, see you tomorrow afternoon. Thanks to the little angel who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution during 2019-12-1113:40:36~2019-12-1122:40:15~


    Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: 283146592 bottles;


    Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

 Chapter 91： helper

    After thinking about it, everyone understood the motivation of Qian Laixing. At the beginning, the Qian family and his wife were old, and they were all supported by his parents, and they had to support not only the elderly couple, but also two scholars.


    Qian Laiwen is proficient in eating, drinking, and gambling, but he can''t read books.


    Maybe they won¡¯t study after changing to another family, but the Qian couple don¡¯t think that if they think their son is clever, he will definitely be able to get ahead in school. But they can''t afford it after reading it, and they are all on his parents. Therefore, if Qian Laixing is really such a cruel person, he has every reason to persuade that once the old man dies, no one will force his parents to take care of him.


    His motive is not difficult to detect, and this is not important. What matters is the land that the villagers put under his name.


    If he is really guilty, no one knows what to do with the land under his name.


    Maybe it will be confiscated?


    Just thinking of this, many people in the village can''t sit still.


    Hearing this news, Li Qinghe was full of surprise. What did the Qian think? Even if the inside story was true, she ran to file a complaint. Didn''t she break her face with the Qian family?


    No one knew her thoughts. After the mother and daughter went to town, they lived in the mayor¡¯s house because they were afraid to come back.


    At the beginning, many people put land under the name of Qian Lai Xing through Qian''s family. As long as she showed up, someone would ask her to get the land back.


    The fact that the land is exempted from food tax under the name of a scholar is not considered by the people, but it is indeed a violation of the law and is suspected of tax evasion. Therefore, even if Qian Laixing is taken away, before the judgment is passed, Everyone didn''t dare to go and confess it on their own initiative, they would only try to get the land back. If you want to get land, you can only go to Qian''s.


    For a while, the people in the village were panicked, and the people around Qian''s house stopped talking about it. They surrounded people day and night, fearing that they would run away. Some people even came to Li''s house to ask.


    This is actually just a question. I can¡¯t find any trouble with Li Fu. If he doesn¡¯t marry again, maybe he can ask. Now they have wives and daughters, and even new son-in-laws, and the new son-in-law ran back to help in three days. While working, Li Fu had a prosperous life here, and he couldn''t even ask him.


    Soon, Qian Laixing was taken to the county seat. Because of this, many people in the village who hadn''t been to the county seat in their entire life also took their money and got on the carriage to the county seat.


    Fortunately, people close to Li Qinghe knew of her grievances with the Qian family, even if they were moved, they didn''t hang the ground.


    Now that I think about it, I feel lucky.


    Because of this, Li Qinghe also deliberately took the child back to Li''s house, and the autumn harvest was about to come. Li Fu was sharpening his knife, and there was a man beside him. He was the new son-in-law who had come to help everybody recently.


    "I''m back?" Li Fu got up, turned around with his waist, "I''m old, my waist is sore, hahahaha..."


    I can see that he is very happy, Zhao Dashan also got up, "Sister is back."


    Zhao Dashan looked burly and his face was tanned.


    Li Qinghe saw that he was a bit complicated, but he didn''t expect to become his sister-in-law, but instead became his sister.


    "Yeah." Li Qinghe smiled and said hello. At any rate, he came back to help Li Fu. Someone is better than he does it himself. You must know that every spring ploughing and autumn harvesting every year, it can almost exhaust people.


    Liu Nizi went out with tea and hurried to cook, insisting to leave her for dinner.


    The life of the Li family is business as usual, not affected by the Qian family at all, so that''s it.


    She didn''t ask much when she saw it, and went home after dinner.


    At the county seat, Lin Zhixian also summoned Hu Yanxi. After all, his testimony was the most useful.


    In fact, Hu Yanxi only heard what Qian said, and he didn''t know how he discussed with Qian Laixing. All I know is that the funeral silver was spent together by the two of them.


    The county seat is quite big for Luoyue Town, but there are only those Hualou. I checked it by time and found out that my uncle and nephew did live in the Hualou, but they spent all their money within a few days.


    Even if Qian Laixing denied that he had not mentioned these things with him, but the two spent money together, they were still judged as insiders.


    If you know the truth and do not report, you will be punished as the same crime.


    Therefore, Qian Laixing knew not to report, took away his fame and sentenced him to hanging. As for the land under his name, because there were too many people who interceded, they all returned to each family, but each family had to make up the food tax. In the following three years, the food tax was doubled.


    Speaking of this, he has not paid the tax even once, which means that he has not paid a little bit. On the contrary, he still has to pay three years of food tax. However, everyone dare not make trouble again, and pay three years to get it back. I''m already very lucky.


    When the verdict was over there, the villagers had already started the autumn harvest, which was not so early, but the sweet potatoes did have to be dug earlier, and the families were already busy.


    Li Qinghe and the two are really helpless, only Zhou Chengkang works alone, not to mention Zhou Mu¡¯s side, Zhou Boss ran to the yard where Liu Pozi lived in the town, usually made tofu at home, now the autumn harvest. There are many people buying tofu and they are already busy.


    And after they moved, all the land in the family was given to Zhou''s mother, because of this, it was said that it was the same as the second child, and it was not filial.


    It means that the Zhou family divided the land into five parts, Zhou Mu took two shares, and now she has three shares, the third and the fourth each took one share, Zhou Mu still got more than half.


    In fact, Boss Zhou is quite rascal. The second person Zhou gave the land to his mother because he was the eldest son. If he actually throws the land back to his mother, it doesn¡¯t matter. Can you return the land to the remaining two? Zhou Mu, don''t care about her in the future?


    Of course this won''t work, but if people don''t come back, there is nothing we can do here. Everyone is busy now, and it''s not easy to care about him.


    Fortunately, since the autumn harvest started on Li Fu''s side, Zhao Dashan has been helping him with work every day, so I probably won''t have to worry about Zhou Chengkang this year.


    Because of the increase in sweet potatoes, each family in the village has half more work than before. Li Qinghe wanted to invite people, but those people were willing to come to help her, but they wouldn''t come out until the house was cleaned up. After all, the food in the house was the most important thing.


    At this moment, a group of people came to the village, all in ragged clothes and looking messy. When the village head asked, they all came to find work, and they paid some wages, mainly to take care of the food.


    The Yang family ran to pick a few first, and Li Qinghe also went to find ten others, but the other people in the village who were reluctant to invite people also ran to choose one or two. Even if relatives came to help with the work, wouldn''t they have to feed them?


    A dozen people eat like hungry wolves, and they don¡¯t know how long they have been hungry. Li Qinghe''s steamed buns are all finished.


    But he was also very good at work. After eating, he didn''t say much, and he started working on the land that Zhou Chengkang pointed out.


    After five or six days of drying, all the sweet potatoes have been dug into the cellar, and all the wheat has been cut back and taken off and dried. Even the wheat stalks have been coded according to Zhou Chengkang¡¯s meaning, and all the fields have been turned over. The grass roots are all picked up.


    One day of work, one day to eat, and if the work is done, it can¡¯t stay. The more careful you live, the better, but you can''t be lazy, so after you turn out the ground, there are no large pieces of soil, all are fine.


    Li Qinghe was also willing. There was still a lot of meat from the pig that was marinated last year. He used a few catties every day to stir-fry with the vegetables. The whole grain buns were also enough. Therefore, these people became more reluctant to leave.


    Yu Yan, who was next door, saw these people at work, came over and divided a few people over, and cleaned up the wasteland on her side, planning to start the spring next year to plant the land.


    Seeing that they were unwilling to leave, Zhou Chengkang took them up the mountain to chop firewood for two days. Five or six people went to chop the firewood. The firewood shed was full in two days.


    Now, there is really no reason to stay.


    These people have been living in the empty house on Li Qinghe''s side these few days, and they brought their own rolls. They really just need to feed them.


    For so many days, she also knew that these people had come from the county next door. Their home was hit by a disaster and there was no harvest. Last year, she looked for work everywhere to fill her stomach. This year''s spring ploughing has been planted. There are also harvests. When the autumn harvest here is over, there should be food to eat at home.


    Early the next morning, everyone packed their bedding and left, but a couple inside found her.


    In fact, even if people in the village go to the entrance of the village to pick people, they usually don''t want women, but Zhou Chengkang is afraid that she will have to work hard to cook, so he chose a couple. The women in that family mainly help with cooking every day, and then go to the fields.


    These days, this woman is so diligent and occasionally talks to her. Li Qinghe knows her maiden name Chen.


    After the Chen came in, he rubbed his hands and said, "My boss, your family does so much work, do you need to hire people all year round?"


    Li Qinghe was a little surprised, "Sometimes I want it." It''s the spring plowing and autumn harvest.


    "Then, can we stay?" Busily added, "Just like now, give us a place to sleep. You just need to take care of the food."


    The author has something to say: so much first, see you tonight. Thank you for the little angel who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution during 2019-12-1122:40:15~2019-12-1213:49:23~


    Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: 1 bottle of Mu Ge;


    Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

 Chapter 92： Boss

    It is indeed possible to live with two people in the family to help with the work, but she does not like the presence of outsiders in her family, and cooking and other things, two of them can do it together, and she can talk.


    Zhou Chengkang on the side has already taken the lead in saying, "We don''t like having outsiders at home."


    The two looked at each other, both disappointed, and sighed, "We really can¡¯t do anything. Our parents are partial, and the land allocated to us is very remote and deserted. It¡¯s not as good as yours, and it doesn¡¯t cost one acre. When we are at home, the two of us are at home, and Su Ri relies on part-time jobs for people. For this, parents often ask us to be filial... Thinking of the goodwill of the owner, we can just help you work, but it still seems impossible."


    The two turned around, planning to pack up and leave.


    Zhou Chengkang thought for a while, "If you are willing, I will build a house on the other side of the pond, where you live, help me with work during the day, and help me see the pond at night."


    Hearing this, the two were overjoyed, thanked them repeatedly, and responded in a hurry.


    "The wages are not much. I will give you three dollars a month." Zhou Chengkang said seriously and solemnly, "but you have to work hard, and I can fire you at any time."


    Hearing this, the couple agreed.


    Their autumn harvest is over, and the other ones are almost there. Zhou Chengkang took the man from that family, Yu Ermo, to help Zhou Mu for two days.


    "I heard that my mother-in-law gave birth to him when he was grinding grain." Chen''s family swept the yard, and he was not idle. He said to Li Qinghe, who was sitting under the eaves and hugged the child to bask in the sun, "My father-in-law. I married a second mill casually. The big and sensible at the top, the small at the bottom, be careful. A lot of people¡¯s second children are at a disadvantage. I am also the second. I already have a sister in front, and a younger brother in the back. I also ignore me a lot. Anyway, you have to take a bite of the meal. If you pay more attention to it, you can carry it by yourself. I remember one time when I was sick and groggy. I was probably... about ten years old and no one at home cared about me. When I woke up, I ran to the roadside and picked some grass and came back to boil water. I don¡¯t know if I picked the right herbs. It was my life."


    She held the broom under her chin, "Anyway, I made up my mind at that time, if I have children in the future, no matter how many I am, I will never be partial! Our husband and wife have suffered enough from partiality."


    While speaking, he shook his head. Li Qinghe couldn''t help but want to laugh, and she felt a little bit sour. From this point of view, Zhou Mu was really good, and she was not partial to anyone. Anyway, as long as she doesn''t take advantage of her son, it''s still easy to talk.


    The autumn harvest was over. Early this morning, Zhou Chengkang took the Zhou family, including the pregnant fifth sister, to the yard of the town¡¯s Liu Pozi.


    The Wumei couple mainly came to see the doctor. The autumn harvest was busy a few days ago. Although Wumei didn¡¯t have to go to the ground, she would inevitably do some housework. Everyone in the family was busy. She was really embarrassed to let her lie at home and wait for food. When she went to the kitchen to cook yesterday afternoon, she fell down.


    I didn''t feel any pain at the time. At night, my stomach started to faintly hurt. I couldn''t help but tell Zhao Liyuan. As a result, he didn''t sleep all night. So early in the morning, he came to find Zhou Chengkang to send Wumei to the town to see the doctor in his carriage.


    As a result, I heard that I was going to talk to Boss Zhou and happened to be together.


    When they arrived in the town, the five sisters went to see the doctor first, and Zhou Chengkang''s carriage went directly to the backstreet of the restaurant and stopped at the gate of Po Liu''s courtyard.


    After knocking on the door, Mei clan opened the door. He was a little surprised to see that Zhou''s family was there. He smiled and said, "Mother, why did you come today? It will be the show tomorrow. Did you remember the wrong day?"


    The last sentence is pure joking.


    No one in Zhou''s family laughed. Mei found something wrong. Even at the fair, there was no family in the street neatly together. It was not Chinese New Year.


    She helped everyone get tea, and then tentatively asked, "Mother, what''s the matter?"


    "Where is the boss?" Mother Zhou looked at the yard, there was a plate of tofu over there, which seemed to be half sold, like a small stall. It should be said that it was put there on purpose, waiting for someone to buy it at home.


    Mei reluctantly smiled, "I went to the street, I should be back soon. Recently, business has been good, and many people came to get it at home, and I can''t go away."


    It seems that she vaguely guessed what the Zhou family came from.


    Just at this moment, the gate of the yard was pushed open, and Mr. Zhou came in with a burden. At first glance, he saw a lot of people sitting in the yard. He was a little surprised, "Mother, second brother, third brother and fourth brother, why are you all here? Isn''t something wrong?"


    "Are you busy?" Zhou Mu asked coldly.


    "It''s really busy. Now I have to make half more tofu than some time ago. It can be sold out." Zhou Lao laughed loudly, seeing her mother''s cold face, and said, "You will also bring some back to eat later. It¡¯s not easy in town."


    "It''s not easy." Zhou Mu nodded in agreement, "it is not easy to let you go home. Boss, if you think about it, how long have you not been home?"


    "I''m very busy here." As he spoke, he put the tofu in his load, watching his posture, and then leaving.


    Mother Zhou asked again, "No matter how busy you are, can you still be busy with the autumn harvest at home?"


    It''s straightforward enough. Boss Zhou finally reacted and said with a smile, "Mother, there are two younger brothers at home. One person will help you, and the land will be cleaned up. Besides, how much harvest can you have? If you can''t do anything, just give it to It doesn¡¯t matter if they do it after the third brother."


    In terms of words, I look down on it.


    The family arrived, and he refused to stop and say a few words, especially the contemptuous tone that mentioned the place at home, which really hurt Zhou Mu. A trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, she sighed, and took a look at the rest. Son, "Let''s go back. Since he is busy, we won''t delay him."


    Boss Zhou finally found out that it was wrong, "Mother, what happened? Why did you leave when you came?"


    "Meihua, you go cook. Later, Liu Niang and some younger brothers will have dinner."


    "You can eat if you are full of anger." It was Zhang Haiyao who said this. "Big brother, don''t look at your old age, in fact, you are not as transparent as the third child. At least she helped her mother for two days. Like me, no matter how lazy I am, I will help cook for a few days. The fourth brother also brought the helper hired by others to the house to work, so I am afraid that my mother will be tired. You are good, and you are very busy... this autumn harvest, Who is not busy?"


    She has a mean tone and expressions in her eyes full of disdain. Boss Zhou finally reacted, "Mother, I was thinking about going back to see you after these two days. Don''t you have some younger brothers to help?"


    Zhang Haiyao sneered, "I won''t go back for a few months, it''s ugly, I''m afraid it''s a mother''s death..."


    Zhou Laosan glared at her, frightened to stop talking.


    "There is nothing to say, there will be that day sooner or later. You are busy with you." She looked at Zhou Chengkang, "The fourth child, take us back. From now on, I won''t come here again."


    Hearing this, Boss Zhou was busy at the door, "Mother, I''m here, let''s eat first. I am really busy during this time. When I am free, I will go home to accompany you."


    It''s no wonder that Zhou''s mother has been disappointed since the two bosses of Zhou moved to the town and haven''t returned home for nearly half a year. I wanted to have a good conversation, but I was too busy to talk.


    When he got on the carriage, Zhang Haiyao was angrily, "They are rich, they look down on us, the sister-in-law wears gold bracelets and gold rings on her hands."


    This Li Qinghe really didn''t pay attention. In such a small town, they lived with two of them. The courtyard wall was not high, so Jin Dai was serious? Not afraid of recruiting thieves?


    Wumei was waiting for them at the entrance of the town, a little surprised, "Is it so fast?"


    Li Qinghe pulled her up, "What did the doctor say?"


    "It should be okay. Just be careful not to fall anymore." Wu Mei looked fortunate, and Zhao Liyuan carefully supported her.


    After hearing this, Zhou Mu''s expression relaxed a little, "Be careful in the future and work less. Do you want to go home and stay with me for a while?"


    Is this feeling lonely? Otherwise, I wouldn''t want to bring all my sons to town to find Boss Zhou, and I would be sad.


    Mother Zhou''s temperament was not the kind that would hold her anger in this way, but just say whatever she has. For example, she had quarreled with Granny Liu before, even if she had been afraid of it?


    "Mother, please go to my house soon." Zhou Chengkang smiled. "The newcomer Yu Zizi, she talks a lot, you must be able to talk."


    Li Qinghe agreed, "Yes, sometimes it feels like ears become callous."


    "Okay." Mother Zhou responded in one bite, and took a particularly close look at Li Qinghe''s expression.


    Just look, she is really not afraid of her living, how much can she eat alone? Besides, Xiyu has become bigger and bigger recently, and she has to be led to walk, so the adult bends over and supports her, and her waist is sore within a quarter of an hour. Zhou''s mother likes children very much, and everyone is happy to ask her to help.


    So, when she went home, she really went home to pack up some things, and followed the carriage to the new house. And as soon as he entered the door, he began to coax Xiyu, seeming to forget the unpleasantness in the town.


    There are so many things from the Chen family, especially after Zhou Chengkang instructed her to pick up some things that happened in their village and talk to Zhou''s mother.


    In fact, at first Zhou''s mother was reluctant to live with the two of them for a long time. After two days of contact, she brought her child to talk with the Chen family who was working. Li Qinghe has taken the child for more than half a year, and has finally been able to loosen up these few days, and he went up the mountain to hunt with Zhou Chengkang. Because Zhou''s mother was watching at home, it would be fine even after dark.


    The two came back that day, and the moon came out when they got home. Zhou¡¯s mother took the child and sorted out the mushrooms brought back from the mountain with them. There were many dead leaves in it. While she picked it up, she whispered, ¡°This afternoon, Qian The mother and daughter are back."


    came back?


    "Does anyone trouble her?" Li Qinghe was curious.


    "And it''s not the turn of others to find him, You''s rushed to find her desperately, and the two started fighting at the entrance of the village." Zhou Mu shook her head, "How can she beat You''s before, and her clothes are torn. The hair is messy, and Yushi hasn''t let her go."


    "So cruel." Li Qinghe was speechless, "Is there anyone to help her?"


    She was a little afraid of Li Fu running to help. After all, he had been protecting the Qian family for many years, what if he got used to it?


    "There is no one to help." Zhou Mu shook her head, "There are so many people watching the excitement, who would dare to pull it? She killed the Qian family''s scholars, and You''s got into a desperate posture. But then, everyone again. Began to pity her."


    "Qian was unable to fight and started crying, saying that she had no younger brother. When her brother died, many people said that she deserved it, and many people talked about it during the New Year."


    Indeed, I remember that during the Chinese New Year that year, Zhou''s mother also said that he hoped that he would not kill his parents for funerals in the future.


    The author has something to say: there will be a chapter at 11 o''clock in a while.

 Chapter 93： thief

    "What happened later? Where do their mother and daughter live now?"


    Mother Zhou shook her head, "I was injured, so I was sent to the town to find a doctor."


    "Seriously hurt?" You need to find a doctor. Li Qinghe was surprised. At the beginning, Qian and this sister-in-law got along well, but on the second thought, the talent that You had finally confessed was so ruined. He must be hated.


    "Desperate posture, can you not be heavy. If it weren''t for the death, the village chief just arrived, and he has to let someone separate them. What will happen." Zhou Mu sighed, "Fortunately, your father is separated from her. , Or there are too many things."


    "You said that people are dead. Does it matter if someone is instigated? No matter if they are instigated or not, he always does those things himself? Although he gave Qian Xiucai the money, he also spent it himself. The funeral rituals and wine that he got after killing his parents, this person is not a pity to die!"


    Li Qinghe agreed.


    "But Qian gave too much for her younger brother. At first, he and your father could have done it. In the end, she married the Zhao family because she had to give her brother a dowry gift. The Zhao family drove her out. In fact, it was her. Quietly used money to supplement her mother''s house again and again." Zhou Mu shook her head, "At the entrance of the village today, many people said that even after she followed your father, she took some back."


    In the end, although Li Fu is good to her, the silver has been pinched tightly, and he is still plausible: filial piety to parents is OK, but I have to be willing, not they ask me for it.


    Li Qinghe heard this more than once.


    "Perhaps the subsidy is too much to get out." Li Qinghe tentatively said, "At that time she wanted to help the Qian family raise a child, but I refused. I said at the time that unless she gave birth to her...


    After that, Li Fu went to live here for half a month. It is said that the Qian family wanted to have a baby.


    "Your father is lucky. If you are still messing with her now, you can be busy. If you don''t raise her for ten and a half months, don''t think about it." Zhou Mu looked at the mushrooms on the ground, "You still It¡¯s not hard enough to take this back and eat it. It¡¯s delicious, but it¡¯s too much oil."


    "Mother, a person lives forever, not for stuttering." Li Qinghe laughed, "I don''t need any money for this. Just take some time and it''s delicious."


    Mother Zhou will not say anything.


    There was another disturbance in the Yang family next door. The villagers still came to the house with a **** and a kitchen knife and forced to pay back the money. If not, then the food just harvested this year would be fine. Father Yang did not follow this time. He was also injured. After he was injured, he went directly to the mayor¡¯s house. Then he didn¡¯t know what to say. The salary was delayed by one year, and he did not pursue the villagers¡¯ hurting him.


    In Li Xingwang''s words, the silver probably won''t come back.


    After having two more people in the family, I took a lot of leisure time. You can let Chen do things like feeding chickens and fish. The couple helped to feed these and clean the yard inside and outside. It was actually quite free. So Li Qinghe again The chicks were hatched for them to watch.


    This year¡¯s fish is much cheaper, but the price has increased compared to previous years. It sells for 20 yuan a catty. Recently, the fish in the pond has grown up again. Originally, the two were planning to send it to the county town, but they recently found it in the town. Lots of people bought it. It¡¯s a good harvest this year, but I didn¡¯t even go there in the end. I would feed it for a few more months and sell it during the New Year.


    The front and back yards were all cleaned by the Chen family. In addition to bringing the children, Zhou¡¯s mother seemed to be quite free during the day. She wanted to take the children to sleep at night. Zhou Chengkang followed her. It seemed that after returning from the town, Zhou¡¯s mother wanted to do what he wanted to do. Try to do it all.


    So, in the next few days, the child was brought to bed with her, and after the three of them spent more than half a year together, the couple was finally able to get along alone.


    On this night, Li Qinghe woke up in the middle of the night, got up and went to the hut and went to sleep in the room. Now there is moonlight in the middle of the night, and there is no need to light candles. He hasn¡¯t reached under the eaves, and suddenly saw the rhubarb at the dog house suddenly stood up alertly. Looking at the direction of the door, as if wanting to call, he looked at her again.


    She was startled slightly, and walked to the back of the gate lightly. Looking from behind the crack of the door, she found that there were several figures sneaking to the pond outside, and there were two people still holding buckets.


    Someone stole her fish!


    Rhubarb opened her mouth and was about to scream, and she touched her neck comfortably. Last year, when someone stole the fish and failed, she knew that someone in the village was looking at her fish and would come sooner or later.


    She raised her hand to open the door. After thinking about it, she turned back to the room. Zhou Chengkang on the bed was already awake when she went out. Seeing her entering the door, she said, "Come back to sleep."


    "There is a thief outside." Li Qinghe whispered.


    Zhou Chengkang was a little surprised, and got up, "Rhubarb didn''t even call."


    "I''m soothed, or I''ll call out early." Li Qinghe''s voice is very low, "I wanted to steal last year, so I had to catch someone." Now autumn is fine, waiting until winter, the night is so cold, who will Run out to see the pond all night?


    When the two went out, after thinking about it, Li Qinghe ran to wake Zhou Mu and told her before opening the door. Just when the three people were pulling the net on the edge of the pond, the rhubarb jumped over.


    Last time the door was opened late, Rhubarb did not chase anyone. This time Rhubarb had ran out to the other side before reacting. The three of them dispersed and ran away, two of them ran to Yang''s house and one to the village.


    As soon as Rhubarb chased after him, the door of the newly built house on the side of the pond opened. Yu Ermo and his wife hurriedly put on their clothes and got up. Seeing Rhubarb chasing Yang''s house, he followed Zhou Chengkang to chase the people running to the village. .


    Li Qinghe walked to the pond, Chen''s had already arrived, "I have packed two buckets, and I want to pull a net."


    I have already pulled a net so quickly. Don¡¯t look at it as just a fishing net. At first, she and Zhou Chengkang had to toss for half a night in catching fish and couldn¡¯t finish catching them. It was all about trying to find the feeling on their own in order to make a good net. This fish stealer is not like a novice.


    And in Wang Village, as far as she knows, no one knows how to fish, and no one raises fish. They usually go to the small river to fish for a few small ones, and there is no need for fishing nets.


    She carried the fishing net and watched for a long while, and the two of Zhou Chengkang had already returned with one person. They looked closer, and they still knew the unexpected person, the Yang family next door, Yang Lanrou''s brother. He was so recognizable among the dark men in the village in white skin.


    Tie up the person. Rhubarb hasn''t come back. If it can''t catch the person, it should have come back early. Zhou Chengkang was a little worried, so he **** the person and chased it to the Yang family.


    Soon, he dragged another man who had a piece of meat off his leg. In fact, he knew him. It was the man who was sometimes brought by the fish seller in the town. It was said to be his brother. The fish fry of the two were still in the town. It was picked up. Later, because of Li Qinghe¡¯s fish selling, the two families had an unhappy relationship. After that, Zhou Chengkang went to buy the fry from where he had fed the fish earlier, and stopped contacting at all.


    Although the two families did not clashed head-on, Li Qinghe was a little unhappy with him. There is no reason why he can only sell fish in Luoyue Town, right?


    But I didn''t expect Renjia to get her idea to her pond.


    "One more ran away." Zhou Chengkang tied the man up.


    Li Qinghe didn''t care at all, "I''m not afraid, I caught these two, I am not afraid that they will not recruit."


    Looking at two people who were gagged and wanted to talk, Zhou Chengkang asked, "Is it going to the town now or before dawn?"


    It was dawn in another hour, and Li Qinghe looked at the two of them and asked, "Does anyone know you are stealing fish?"


    Both of them shook their heads, Li Qinghe looked at Yang Lanhong, "Don''t you know?"


    He shook his head again.


    Li Qinghe smiled and said, "Let''s go tomorrow morning, go to eat first, there is something to be done in the morning."


    However, before he moved the people into the yard, Father Yang next door hurried over out of breath and looked surprised when he saw the two **** on the ground, "Lan Hong, why are you here?"


    He asked Li Qinghe again, "What happened just now? Why did your dog chase us in the middle of the night to bite? I seem to hear someone screaming, and it seems to have been bitten by the dog."


    Zhou Chengkang pointed his finger at the bitten leg over there, "Hey, they stole the fish, and the people got the spoils. I chased this side, and the rhubarb chased you there, but it''s amazing, I didn''t raise it in vain."


    "Stealing fish?" Father Yang almost questioned, and he could see his face full of surprise under the moonlight, "How can my son steal the fish?"


    Li Qinghe folded her arms. The people in the village might be polite to Father Yang, but she really has no affection for the Yang family. She was not polite, and sneered, "They came to my pond with fishing nets and buckets in the middle of the night. , Is not stealing fish, is it because you can''t sleep and walk?"


    The author has something to say: so much first, see you at two tomorrow afternoon.


    Thanks to the little angel who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution during 2019-12-1220:59:21~2019-12-1222:59:50~


    Thanks to the little angel who cast the mine: 1 elephant;


    Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

 Chapter 94： Pension

    The moonlight was as cold as water, with her cool and mocking tone, Father Yang wanted to get angry, but when he saw his son who was firmly **** on the ground, he barely suppressed his anger, "There must be a misunderstanding. May I ask?"


    As soon as the gagged rag was removed, Yang Lanhong immediately shouted, "Father, it''s not my business at all. I just passed by their door and wanted to go to the village, but I didn''t expect them to catch up."


    "They must run when they chase me, and then they grabbed me and tied it up."


    "Now, you all heard." Father Yang looked serious. "I said that my son can''t steal fish. He has been raising fish since he was a child and he can''t do anything. Why would he come to steal fish? It''s a misunderstanding, I will take him back now."


    After speaking, he stretched out his hand to untie his son''s rope, and Zhou Chengkang stepped forward to stop him, "Master Yang, look at this situation, he said he was not stealing fish, do you believe it yourself? Don''t treat us as fools."


    "Then you just refuse to let people go, right?" Father Yang looked ugly, "You have been awarded by Lin Zhixian, the mayor must have helped you. When I go to town, whether my son does it or not, then he I must have done it all."


    Shameless!


    The problem was that his son really did this, but he actually became the mayor to help Zhou Chengkang and wronged them.


    "Brother Yu, please drag the thieves to the yard, and we will send them to town tomorrow morning." Li Qinghe was impatient. It was midnight. If it weren''t for these thieves, she would still sleep soundly. "If Master Yang is not convinced, You can also go to the town to listen. If you disagree with the mayor¡¯s verdict, you can go to the county town or the government town to appeal for grievances."


    Over there, the Yu family dragged them into the yard neatly, and the couple also entered the door, closing the door with a "bang". Go back to sleep!


    The next morning, Zhou''s mother stayed at home to take care of the children. Li Qinghe and the two took two thieves to the town, and went straight to the mayor''s house to let him call the shots.


    The two were locked up, and Zhou Chengkang said, "They still have an accomplice who ran away, so please ask for your help."


    If such two people were allowed to confess by themselves, it would definitely not be possible. Some special methods should be used, but for this kind of thing, the mayor will not be in front of outsiders, including the two of them.


    Li Qinghe believes that the mayor will definitely ask the person who ran away, because the mayor¡¯s job is actually related to his management of the town. If someone is stolen twice in three days, it will definitely not work. It''s better to catch the thief and put an end to this kind of thing from the source.


    When they left the mayor''s yard, they saw someone waiting for them at the door.


    It was the fish seller in the town where the aunt took her to buy the fish fry and lived in Liu Village. Seeing his appearance, I have been waiting for a while. Seeing the two come out, he threw away the weeds in his hands, "Let¡¯s talk, go to the restaurant, I¡¯ll treat you."


    The three of them went to the restaurant and sat down. He greeted the guys to serve food, and then poured tea for the two of them, "If I said, I don¡¯t know about my brother stealing fish, you probably don¡¯t believe it. I just want to ask you. , How can I let him go?"


    On the table next door, Father Yang was listening with his ears. He didn''t leave the pond last night, and he followed them to the mayor''s house in the morning. When I heard this, I sat down hurriedly, "My son went to steal the fish. I didn''t believe it at first reaction. Why? I didn''t short him to eat and drink."


    "I have the same thoughts as this brother. How can you let them go? It can be discussed."


    Li Qinghe and the two looked at each other. In fact, this kind of stealing has not been able to be caught in person. If it is really according to the law, it will not be judged how much. Maybe it won''t take a year to come out.


    "We want to know who is the one who ran away?" Zhou Chengkang said solemnly, "In fact, although both of us and the two are a little unhappy, as you said, the two of them don''t want to steal the fish. I prefer The two of them were taken advantage of. Your brother fished for fish..." He was talking about the fish seller, and looked at Father Yang, "Your son is responsible for leading the way. With this calculation, the mastermind ran away."


    The faces of the two people on the opposite side became cautious, and then Father Yang got up, "I will give you an explanation."


    Zhou Chengkang said solemnly, "I just want him to receive the punishment he deserves."


    Then, the two returned to the village. After so long, many people knew that their family had hired a thief again. Li Fu even came over and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?"


    "You are so courageous, don''t rush to catch up, in case someone brings a knife." Li Fu circled in the yard, "I was afraid of death when I heard it, Chengkang, you said in case something happened to you , What should I do if I leave them behind?"


    It seemed that he was really worried, and his worries were real. Li Qinghe felt soft, "Father, nothing will happen. They were caught up by two of them. Besides, there was another person who was caught up by Rhubarb."


    "Who is so wicked?" Li Fu sighed, "You have all found someone to guard the pond, and you dare to come and steal it."


    "Be careful from now on."


    A lot of people came to ask with concern, that is, Li Qingmiao and his wife are here.


    It is worth mentioning that the husband and wife Zhou in the town finally had time to come back. I went to Zhou''s house first and found that Zhou''s mother was not there, so I arrived at the new house.


    It happened that Zhou''s mother went to open the door, and when she saw the three of them, the smile on her face suddenly gathered, "Oh, isn''t this a busy person? Why have to leave relatives free?"


    "Mother, we came to see you specially." Older Zhou squeezed into the door with a big smile, raised the paper bag in his hand, "I brought you some snacks."


    "I''m not old yet." Zhou''s mother tongue was indifferent.


    Mei took the child and pushed, "Called Grandma."


    When the child stepped forward, Zhou''s mother''s expression eased a lot. When Boss Zhou saw this, he felt relieved and asked, "I heard that the fourth house recruited thieves when I first arrived in the village. Are you okay?" Then he went to the backyard.


    "It''s okay." Li Qinghe poured tea out.


    Mei took it and said with a smile, "Brother sister, I have troubled you during this time."


    "It''s not troublesome, it should be." Li Qinghe really didn''t find it troublesome, it should be Zhou''s mother taking care of them.


    "The more you say that, the more uncomfortable my heart is." Mei''s rubbed the tea cup in her hand, she did wear gold bracelets on her fingers and wrist, and even a silver hairpin on her head.


    After paying attention to this, she suddenly discovered that her clothes were not muslin, but satin. Even the clothes on the child had faint lines. The boss of Zhou Zhou is new although he is dressed in fine cloth.


    It is indeed very different from the beginning.


    "Mother, if you like, you can live with us in the town. It just so happens that there is an empty room in that yard." Mei suggested with a smile.


    "No." Mother Zhou shook her head, "I still live in the country, and I still have land to grow."


    "Mother, you think it''s bad. When you are farming, you just need to watch the sky and eat. When it happened last year, you can''t even get the seeds back." Mei smiled, "You might as well move to the town and help me see the children in your free time. Healy is the eldest grandson, don''t you want to look at him every day?"


    Mother Zhou looked at the children over there who were not older than Xiyu, and when she saw the sick, she was not able to bring any children. Such as Xiyu, although he is a bit more lively, but he is well-behaved when he falls asleep, and he is not sick, he does not cry for nothing, and he is happy all day. It''s more difficult to take things like Heili. The child will be uncomfortable when he is sick all his life. If he is uncomfortable, he will have to cry. After crying, the adult will suffer and sometimes cannot sleep the whole night.


    Tai Xiyu is happy, and feels comfortable watching the child lively. With Xili, you have to worry, and you can''t sleep well at night.


    Seeing Zhou''s mother not speaking, Mei looked down at the ring in her hand, turning around, "Mother, I''ll tell you the truth too, we don''t plan to live in the village in the future. We live in the town, and Xili will live again. Two years can still send him to study. Chengwen is the eldest son, he really should provide you with old-age care, but if you do not want to go to town, we can only... let a few brothers do the work. After all, you are not. He is only a son, right?"


    "It''s like the autumn harvest a few days ago. Busy is true, but we are also busy. If you are too old to do anything, then we must find a way to help you with the autumn harvest. But you are only in your forties this year, and you are at home. There are so many younger brothers. You ran to town that day and left without saying a few words. We only learned that you were angry after you left." Mei''s tone was calm, "What will happen to you in the future? Say, don¡¯t let us guess, I¡¯m not sure if you¡¯re more angry, what can you do if you get angry?"


    Li Qinghe stood by and listened, and the more he listened, the more wrong he was. Why is there something wrong with Zhou''s mother in Mei''s words?


    The couple went to town for half a year and did not return. There are indeed other brothers in the family, but it cannot be said that the other brothers are there, so they can not come back at all and just leave them alone, right?


    The town is not as far away as the county seat, and it is always possible to come back once in half a month. They were really busy during the autumn harvest, but they could spend the money to ask someone to come back and help Zhou Mu to work. The person is not there, and the heart is up, and Zhou Mu is also comfortable.


    In fact, she is not good at accusing them both in front of Zhou''s mother. Zhou''s mother lives with her now. It would be no good if Zhou''s mother talks too much and herself dislikes her.


    "Yes, I understand what you mean." Zhou Mu let go of Xi Li, and went to Li Qinghe''s arms to pick Xi Yu again, "It''s not early, you can go back. You have to get up early to make tofu tomorrow morning, don''t delay you Up."


    Looking at her appearance, she was indeed angry again.


    Boss Zhou turned out from the backyard and saw this situation, "Mother, today we brought a carriage to take you to live in the town."


    "Don''t go." Mother Zhou waved her hand and walked directly in.


    Boss Zhou was taken aback, looked at Zhou Chengkang who came out of the backyard with him, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think that since the fifth sister got married, my mother''s temper has become more and more weird."


    This should be considered a little reason, but the biggest problem should be that the boss will not come back for a long time.


    At the moment, the eldest son is taking care of the elderly, and the rest of the brothers give some filial piety. The realization has now been separated and the fifth sister is also married. Speaking of it, Zhou Mu should indeed live with him.


    "I didn''t feel it." Zhou Chengkang said casually, "Mother is not willing to go, just live in my house, and help me see the baby by the way."


    Then, the two really left.


    Li Qinghe stood at the door and watched the carriage go away. I don''t know when Zhou Mu had already stood up and sighed, "Sure enough... the old man is being rejected."


    "Mother, I don''t dislike you." Li Qinghe said calmly, "If you are willing, move your old house over and live here in the future. I will definitely not push you away."


    The author has something to say: See you tonight.

 Chapter 95： solve

    "Who wants to live with you for a long time?" After Zhou''s mother finished speaking, she turned to enter the door, but her heart was softer. In fact, she knew the most about these children. If you want to be reliable, you must be the fourth husband and wife. They are hardworking. , The mind is also alive, the most important thing is to know filial piety, then Li Fu found a Qian family back earlier, and also took the Qian family¡¯s daughter to feed like her, she didn¡¯t care about it. one''s gift.


    Even though she said that, she didn''t say to go back. Yes, it''s the same wherever you live in the slack farm now.


    Moreover, she lives here to help with the children, and Li Qinghe can go up the mountain to chop wood with them, sometimes not to work, but to be with each other.


    News soon came from the town. The one who ran away was Zhao Tianfu.


    It was really unexpected.


    When the two rushed to town when the two got the news, Zhao Tianfu had already been arrested. Both people who had been arrested earlier identified him. Even if he called out injustice, the case was still pieced together.


    Zhao Tianfu found the two and asked Liu Cheng to catch the fish, and Yang Lanhong led the way. The three of them had Liu Cheng''s brother selling the fish.


    I said it a long time ago and sold it in the town. Anyway, the fish look the same. Who can prove that it is a fish in Li Qinghe''s pond?


    Zhao Tianfu¡¯s family used to be okay, but when he came to him, he didn¡¯t work all the year round, and the land was given to people, and half of the people who planted the land. In bad years, he didn¡¯t have enough food and he liked to go shopping. Hualou and Huajiu, so it looks like Zhao¡¯s family still has some old scenery on the outside, but the inside is actually not as good as before, and it is gradually no different from other houses in the village.


    After the case was clarified, people who had nothing to do with the case were not allowed to enter, but there were a lot of people. The Yang family and Yang Lanrou were both there. The fish seller Liu''s brother and wife came to Liu Cheng¡¯s. On Zhao Tianfu''s side, a beautiful woman of about 20 years old was crying with a child in her arms.


    "It''s almost like this inside." The mayor finished reading and closed the record booklet.


    "Yesterday you said that if you find the culprit, you are willing to let my son go." Father Yang took the lead and pulled Liu Yuan off and asked, "Right?"


    Liu Yuan also said, "Yes, so we asked the mayor to find out so quickly."


    The hidden meaning is that they have taken care of the mayor, and they have done their best.


    Zhou Chengkang accepted, "I did say that I want the culprit to be punished. But they are wrong for stealing, and they cannot be let go. The law stipulates that anyone who steals more than two hundred wen of property will only take two years. Instructing others to steal property. For five years."


    His voice fell, and everyone in the room didn''t look pretty.


    Father Yang closed his eyes and said, "They stole two buckets of fish from your family, and the three of us bought the two buckets of fish together. Is this all right?"


    Change the concept! Obviously it was stealing fish, but it was said to be buying fish.


    "It''s not that our fish can''t be sold." Li Qinghe sneered, "It sounds like we are relying on you to buy two buckets of fish on purpose. Don''t sell!"


    Father Yang also discovered that the couple seemed to have a holiday with him. They lived in the neighborhood and had never given him a good face.


    "Then what do you want?" Liu Yuan sighed, "If we can, we are willing to give some compensation, as long as you let them go."


    "And us." The beautiful woman over there hugged the child in her arms and cried, "My child is less than half a year old. If his father is arrested like this, how can he live in the village from now on? And me, if I stay at home alone...I might as well die."


    She held the child and knelt down facing the mayor, "Mayor, please help..."


    There was only her gentle cry in the room, which made people feel pity. At this moment, another person came in outside, it was Zhao Wanwan. She seemed to be running over, panting and carrying Hu Yanxi.


    Seeing Zhao Tianfu kneeling on the ground, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Father, I heard that you were arrested by the mayor. What happened?"


    "Stealing fish." The mayor explained, "There are three people together. The two over there were caught face-to-face. They recognized him. But Zhao Tianfu is the mastermind. One person sells the fish, the other recognizes the way, and the three are equally divided."


    Seeing his daughter and son-in-law came, Zhao Tianfu suddenly said, "I don''t plead guilty. I slept well at home that night, and my wife can testify."


    The beautiful woman stopped crying and hurriedly agreed, "Yes, yes, he hasn''t gone out in the past half month, and sleeps at home every day."


    The mayor ignored their sophistry and said, "The problem now is that they all want to be private and are discussing."


    Zhao Wanwan stepped forward, "Sister, my father would not do such a thing."


    Speaking of it, it was the first time they met since they met in the hospital. For Zhao Wanwan, it was the first time they met after Hu Yanxi passed the exam. Li Qinghe looked at her, "You tell me it''s useless, it''s not me who identified your father as the thief, it''s them."


    Her expression was very plain, Zhao Wanwan met such a look, but remembered that Li Qinghe had taken her to the town to help people cook when she went home after being injured, and the sister who helped her buy hairpins, this moment seemed to be far away from her.


    She was in a daze for a while, and looked at Hu Yanxi for help.


    Hu Yanxi stepped forward, "Sister and brother-in-law are all in the same family. Is it better to be private?"


    "The law is very strict in stealing, but they were caught on the spot. That is to say, if they weren¡¯t stolen, their sentence was reduced by half according to the law. Besides, if something like this happened in Luoyue Town, we would still make trouble in the county. Yuezhen¡¯s reputation is also bad, Mayor, right?"


    The last sentence was asked by the mayor. Hu Yanxi is now a scholar, but the mayor is only a child. That''s it. Although he didn''t take the county test every time, he occasionally took the test. The two are considered to know each other.


    Li Qinghe looked down, and it was true that scholars were different, and they were very good at catching loopholes.


    In fact, both she and Zhou Chengkang knew in their hearts that since the mayor wanted to find them and these people, he still wanted to be private, otherwise he would just send the people to the county, and he would have to do anything about it.


    "You have said something wrong." Zhou Chengkang looked at him, "We are not a family, not even relatives. Therefore, this matter is better handled by business."


    Hu Yanxi''s expression was unhappy. Since he was admitted as a talent, the whole Luoyue Town, no matter who knew him or didn''t know him, would give a bit of face. At least there was a smiling face, and Zhou Chengkang''s attitude of disregarding clearly didn''t see him.


    Zhou Chengkang didn¡¯t care what he thought, saying, ¡°Since it¡¯s going to be private, I don¡¯t know how much money is appropriate. Let¡¯s be less, they have not been punished, what if there is another time? I don¡¯t want to run every day and night. Come out and catch the thief."


    "It''s up to the mayor to decide."


    Everyone¡¯s eyes fell on the mayor, and he frowned slightly, ¡°He¡¯s also right, it¡¯s better...you each give ten taels of silver, as for the mastermind of adding blessing, twenty taels."


    I knew he had a private idea!


    A few tens of taels of silver is enough for these people to suffer once, and it should be a pain that can be remembered for a lifetime. I shouldn''t dare to dare next time, the mayor has done something very measured, not only to cover up the thief in Luoyue Town, but also to let them know that the pain should not be committed again.


    In fact, the three offenders here, except for Zhao Tianfu, should be able to get them.


    "Twenty taels!" Zhao Wanwan exclaimed.


    The faces of Father Yang and Liu Yuan over there were not good, "Mayor, will it be too many? This normal family has been producing for several years..."


    "I''m not talking nonsense." The mayor said solemnly, "If you don''t agree, I will send you directly to the county seat. The magistrate will decide."


    The room was quiet, if they were willing to go to the county seat and the magistrate to convict them, they wouldn''t come to pester for so long.


    Zhao Wanwan whispered, "My father doesn''t have so much talent."


    Zhao Tianfu frowned, "Can you write an IOU?"


    "Yes!" Father Yang woke up, "Can you write an IOU? I will write twelve taels and pay it off next year."


    Who wants to entangle with them, Li Qinghe said directly, "If you give the money, let me go, IOU... What''s the use of writing a hundred taels of money I can¡¯t get? I don¡¯t need IOU!"


    Zhou Chengkang answered, "In just two days, within two days, if I didn''t get the silver, it would be useless for anyone to intercede."


    After finishing speaking, he pulled Li Qinghe and said goodbye to the mayor, "There is still something in our house. If we have all the money, please find someone to let us know."


    The two went out and got on the carriage and went home!


    Without stopping all the way, when the carriage left the yard, Zhao Wanwan hurriedly chased it out.


    Not only that, she also chased her home, the Yang family next door, and Father Yang also came and knocked on the door. They didn''t see anyone or even opened the door.


    On the contrary, Liu Yuan paid the money in the afternoon that day and took the man back.


    Then, in the past two days, I just heard that Father Yang was borrowing money from the village next door, and even Yu Yan at the back had borrowed them, all at 20% interest, which really let him borrow.


    It was Zhao Tianfu who also sold his old blue brick house for enough money.


    Two days later, Li Qinghe and the two went to the mayor''s house again and got forty taels of silver.


    The mayor smiled, "The silver is here, do you want to weigh it?"


    "No, we trust you." Zhou Chengkang pushed the silver in front of him instead. "We don''t take this silver back. We want to buy land, which is close to the mountain behind my house and measure it over there."


    Hearing this, the mayor was a little surprised, "Buy all the money for land?"


    "Buy it all." Zhou Chengkang said firmly.


    Hearing what he said, the mayor finally reacted. The imperial court is willing to change this barren mountain any time. If it is done, it will be a great feat for him. The smile on his face bloomed, "The barren mountain is even more It¡¯s cheap, because it¡¯s a slope, and you can¡¯t change the land. If you agree to one or two dollars per mu, I will write the deed now and let someone follow you to measure it.¡±


    "Write!" Zhou Chengkang said immediately.


    The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were all prepared. Originally, the money was drawn and pledged. After Zhou Chengkang painted and pledged on the private contract, the mayor began to write the contract.


    Seeing him pick up the pen, Zhou Chengkang hurriedly said, "Write Li''s Qinghe."


    Not only the mayor was surprised, but Li Qinghe was also surprised. Zhou Chengkang smiled at her, "I said, everything in the house belongs to you, including me!"


    Li Qinghe''s eyebrows were full of smiles, and he reached out to touch his face, "Don''t worry, I will treat you well."


    The mayor only felt that his teeth were sore and he was a little envious. Thinking of his old wife, he would be better to her when he went back.


    The two of them didn''t get the money, and they took a copy of the deed that the ink hadn''t dried and left the mayor''s home. It was too late today, and they agreed to take a measurement tomorrow morning.


    The author has something to say: it''s late today, no more, see you tomorrow afternoon.

 Chapter 96： borrow

    The two went out to get into the carriage, but they saw Zhao Wanwan at the door.


    She was dressed in a pink gauze, and the wooden hairpin on her head was a bit familiar, causing Li Qinghe to take another look.


    Zhao Wanwan stretched out her hand and touched her head, and smiled, "Sister still remember this hairpin? You bought it to me at the time. I was very happy at that time. I have been reluctant to take it for years. I always feel that it is not an ordinary hairpin, but my sister treats me. A rare heart."


    Zhou Chengkang was already in the carriage, stretched out and pulled her, "Come on."


    Li Qinghe nodded to her, put his hand in his hand, and was pulled into the carriage with a slight effort.


    Seeing that posture, the carriage was about to leave, Zhao Wanwan was anxious, and stepped forward, "Sister, I want to go back to the village, can you take me for a ride?"


    This is okay, but Zhou Chengkang is happy to take all villagers as long as they drop in.


    Seeing that they hadn''t utterly refused, Zhao Wanwan climbed into the carriage by herself, and when she entered the carriage, the horse trot up.


    Zhao Wanwan, who was not in prison, almost hit the wall of the carriage. After she stabilized her body, she realized that Li Qinghe was still outside. She hurriedly shouted, "Sister, are you not coming in?"


    "It''s sultry inside, I like the outside." Li Qinghe said casually.


    Seeing her posture, she knew that it wasn''t as simple as trying to take a ride. Li Qinghe went in and pestered her when she was stupid.


    The town is not far from the village. During the period, Zhao Wanwan tried to call her in several times, but she didn''t respond.


    And Zhao Wanwan couldn''t sit outside. Two or three people were allowed to sit outside, but if three people were to sit on, they would have to squeeze, and people who were not used to it would not dare to watch the road under their feet fast back.


    Soon I arrived at the entrance of the village, except for what he said when he was not on the carriage at the beginning, Zhao Wanwan never found a chance to talk to her.


    A lot of people stood under the big tree at the entrance of the village, and when they saw their carriage arrived, they surrounded them. The intersection that was not wide was surrounded, and the carriage could only stop.


    "Qinghe, we have something to look for you." A familiar woman stepped forward, "Can we come down and discuss it?"


    It is quite strange that so many people are looking for them at the same time. Li Qinghe asked in surprise, "Mother, what''s the matter with you?"


    "We are all here to borrow money from you." The woman was a little embarrassed, "I only need three dollars to make it, and I''m going to pass the winter, and I have to make new clothes and quilts. "


    Hearing that, Li Qinghe was really surprised. It stands to reason that this kind of thing should be done when he has more money, right? Borrowing money to make clothes and quilts, most people can''t do this kind of thing.


    It¡¯s surprising how many people agree with this statement, "Yes, I want to make clothes this year. My dog ??is eighteen. I will go to the village to see it next month, but I can¡¯t tidy up. Go again..."


    "I hired over there, and I was going to get married a year ago. With luck, I can''t expect to be pregnant soon."


    Listening to the comments of the people around, Li Qinghe and two of them can be regarded as understand. These people who came have borrowed money to the Yang family, and the interest is collected there, and Father Yang said that the money is paid to Li Qinghe. Yes, it implied that they could wait for the two of them to go home and then borrow it back. It would not delay things, it would be equivalent to spending money on it again and earning him 20% of the interest.


    Zhao Wanwan also poked her head out of the carriage, and whispered in her ear, "Sister, in fact, I am looking for you, and I want to borrow money from you. My father paid the twenty taels of silver that I got from the house secretly. You guys, he really knows that he was wrong. Can you lend me first, and then I will ask him to find a way to repay you as soon as possible, my dad said, you can give 50 taels of silver, if you don¡¯t believe him, you can also find The village chief came to write an IOU."


    Amidst the discussion, Zhou Chengkang''s voice was calm, "I''m sorry everyone, we don''t have money."


    A dozen people immediately calmed down, and after looking at each other, some people didn¡¯t believe it, ¡°How could it be possible? Didn¡¯t your family just collect the forty taels of their compensation? Then the Zhao family¡¯s yard was used for the collection. We all heard about it."


    In fact, Zhou Chengkang wanted to buy the land immediately, so as not to let people come to borrow it. If people really rush to use it, such as using money to hire, it is really embarrassing to say that this is not the case without marriage.


    Borrow it. I don''t know that the year of the monkey can only be repaid, and I feel uncomfortable. Don''t borrow it, people will say in the future: Which family my daughter-in-law was from back then was because Zhou Laosi refused to borrow money as a betrothal gift. Not to mention that there are people who are sick who have to borrow money to grab medicine, and they will die if they don''t borrow money... encountering this kind of thing, it is simply embarrassing to myself.


    "Yes, forty taels. For so many of us, it only takes a few taels, or less. Anyway, let us take care of the matter and return it to you in the next year..."


    "Really gone." Li Qinghe said to everyone and Zhao Wanwan who was chattering in her ears, "We bought the land." She stretched out her hand and pointed at the mountain over there, "It''s the top of the mountain. I bought forty acres and got all the deeds, and the government officials will come and measure it tomorrow."


    Everyone was stunned.


    I never imagined that someone would take money to buy a barren hill. What else would there be besides weeds and all kinds of trees that can be used as firewood?


    This is not important. The important thing is that the money is gone. Where can they find the money they need urgently?


    In silence, Zhou Chengkang asked aloud, "Can you give me a break? It''s not early, we are anxious to go home."


    There was no money left, and he couldn''t get it out anymore, and the person in front of him couldn''t help but let go. When the carriage reached the spacious area at the entrance of the village, Li Qinghe turned around and asked, "Are you going to get off the carriage?"


    Zhao Wanwan was also stunned. At this time, she heard her asking and reacted, "No, sister, you used forty taels of silver to buy a barren mountain? You can get two or three for the small yard in the town! It''s over the county seat. , I can also buy a small courtyard..."


    "It''s already been spent anyway, I don''t want that much." Li Qinghe asked again, "Do you want to go down? My family is now with Xiyu and his grandmother. I''m afraid it is... not convenient for you to go."


    In fact, there is no inconvenience, but she is still entangled with Zhao Wanwan when she doesn''t want to be home, and she can''t say she has to invite her to dinner.


    Speaking of it, Zhao Wanwan lived in Li''s house for several years before getting married. After getting married, Hu Yanxi also lived at home for a year. After eating so many meals from her father, she and her father failed to eat Zhao Wanwan''s meal. It.


    Thinking about it this way, I became more determined not to be able to take her back. It was getting dark now, and I might have to stay one night to take her back.


    Too much trouble!


    Li Qinghe jumped into the carriage, "You come down!"


    Her tone couldn¡¯t be rejected, she was still able to bluff people with a straight face, Zhao Wanwan jumped out of the carriage unknowingly and watched the carriage heading west of the village, remembering that the house belonging to the Zhao family would be imprisoned if she couldn¡¯t borrow money. People over there will take them away and sell them, and then her father will have no place to live.


    But here Li Qinghe has already bought the land, and even if there is money in the family, he will never lend her twenty taels, and suddenly feel that something has happened. Turned around and hurried to the Qian''s yard.


    Li Qinghe and the two arrived home and found Father Yang was waiting at the door. He rubbed his hands and said, "Could you lend me some money first? In order to pay back your money, I borrowed some people who were eager to spend money. I can''t delay other people''s business, I am willing to pay more..."


    Before he could finish speaking, Li Qinghe already said, "We have already bought the land, and all the forty taels have been spent."


    There was one more dazed person, Father Yang.


    When they came back, it was going to be dark. At night, most people in Wangcun knew that they had bought land with the money they had lost. Apart from the extra land, they had no more money.


    Everyone who was secretly trying to ask them to borrow money all dismissed the idea.


    Early the next morning, Zhou Chengkang went to the town to pick up the office worker. He began to measure up the mountain from behind Yu Yan¡¯s house. After hearing Yu Yan¡¯s words, she divided the two acres out of her. She took the silver to buy it for the office worker. .


    Forty acres of land is very large, even if it is mountain forest, from the back of Li Qinghe''s house to the back of Yang''s house, a large area is hers.


    Mother Zhou hugged Xi Yu, frowning and looking serious and a little worried, "What do you buy so much wasteland for? Don''t talk about farming, both of you are struggling to go around."


    If you don''t do anything, it is really strenuous.


    Li Qinghe didn''t explain to her either. After sending away the ya chai, Yu Yan followed to get the deed.


    In the afternoon, the Yang family next door became noisy again. Like the previous two times, everyone went to the Yang family with hoes and knives to ask the Yang family to pay back the money.


    Earlier, the Yang family hadn''t paid the people''s wages, and the people who got the news surrounded them again. What if the Yang family paid the bills back here without the wages?


    In fact, Father Yang didn''t borrow many people, but there were so many people who helped him build houses earlier, and all of them went to the yard, almost impossible to crowd.


    The crowd huddled together, threatening to live there if they didn''t pay the money. Even if the mayor was hired, it was not easy to come.


    The Yang family still owed more than ten taels of silver to the village by doing this, and it continued until the latter half of the night to force Father Yang to agree to pay back the silver the next afternoon, and everyone retired.


    As for Zhao Tianfu here, it was the day when the people who had promised to ransom the house had arrived. Someone in the town was already asking about it. Maybe someone would buy Zhao Tianfu''s yard in a few days.


    Surprisingly, Zhao Tianfu had nowhere to go after being picked up, so he went to live in the Qian''s yard, with his wife and children.


    It¡¯s really a feng shui rotation. There is no end in a lifetime. No one knows what life will be like in the future. The Zhao family who married the Qian clan was regarded as the richest person in Wangcun. Even if the Qian clan was not wanted, it was because she was always secretive. Help the money family.


    Now it is Zhao Tianfu who has fallen to the point of being homeless, and actually wants the money family to help.


    The Yang family next door still failed to pay back the money the next day. Everyone went to make trouble again and invited the mayor again. Father Yang refused to recognize what he said the night before, and only said that he came on the basis of IOU. The evidence he wrote was to be returned at the autumn harvest next year. As for the suggestion that everyone used Li Qinghe''s money to make money, he denied it and insisted that there was no such thing.


    Everyone is helpless. According to the evidence, they are indeed not contracted to ask for debts.


    After a few days of trouble, people like Li Xingwang who thought they couldn¡¯t get their wages went home to work on their own, and there were not many people left. The Yang family was even more unafraid. Once they didn''t take the money to pay off the debt, the villagers gave up in such a compromise.


    The author has something to say: See you tonight. Thanks to the little angel who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution during 2019-12-1321:44:19~2019-12-1413:51:47~


    Thanks to the little angels who cast mines: 2 Xin Xueer; 1 Xiao Qian;


    Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

 Chapter 97： patient

    After buying the land, you have to find a way to grow it. Although the land under the name of Li Qinghe and his wife does not have to pay grain tax, it is a pity that it is the land that was bought for money and left for nothing.


    In fact, Li Qinghe had the final word in his heart. It is actually very troublesome to clean up such barren hills to plant the land. There are still many big trees in it. Just cutting trees and digging roots is not a job, and it is not worthwhile.


    "Please take the wild grass over there..." She pointed to the back of Yang''s house, "There are all wild grass over there. After cutting it out, we will start spring plowing after the Chinese New Year. As for the forest with big trees behind us..."


    If you don''t move those trees, there are probably only medicinal materials that can be planted in the forest and still have a harvest.


    The planting of medicinal materials in the forest was something she had heard of in the last life, vines and shrubs like honeysuckle that like moisture and tolerate shade. She had heard Dr. Huang say casually about this earlier, she had to pick a time to ask for advice, or ask him directly for advice.


    Nowadays, no one except doctors can plant medicinal materials at home, and no one can plant medicinal materials at home. Besides, seeds are also a problem.


    The next morning, Li Qinghe asked Li Xingwang and the others to find someone and start cleaning up the wasteland.


    Li Xingwang is not for everyone to pick people, he has to be someone who can do the job. For example, Zhao Tianfu, he doesn''t want it.


    After Yu Ermo here has cleaned up his home, he will also follow up the mountain. As for the Chen family, 20 people are invited to work, and eating is also a major event. Zhou Chengkang went directly to the wasteland and built a shed, and bought a big pot to cook for people there.


    It''s still autumn, and we have to hurry up, or else in the winter, people are willing to do it, but Li Qinghe is not willing to invite it. The winter is short and it is not worthwhile.


    Zhou''s mother and her children would occasionally come over to watch. Someone knocked on the door of the house that day. Just when Li Qinghe was at home, he opened the door and saw Zhao Wanwan.


    The girl seemed to have lived in the village during this time. After opening the door, she squeezed in by herself and replied, "Sister, quickly pull the rhubarb away, I''m afraid of it."


    Li Qinghe frowned slightly, "Just say if you have anything, I''m still busy over there."


    Zhou Chengkang was busy over there recently and took Yu Ermo away. She was feeding the horses and chickens at home, and she was still preparing horse feed just now.


    Seeing her look faintly impatient, Zhao Wanwan did not dare to grind, and said, "You have invited so many people, my dad also wants to help with work, somehow earn some money for the New Year, but he didn''t expect him to be unwilling. Dad can''t work."


    "Uncle is right." Li Qinghe turned and continued to work. "Your father has never been to the ground. Will he mow?"


    "No, he can learn." Zhao Wanwan walked to her and squatted down and stretched out her hand, "Do you want me to help you?"


    Li Qinghe glanced at her pink gauze, "No, don''t stain your clothes." Then he said, "It''s his business that your father can learn. I will ask the villagers to do the work. It costs money to make For those who work, I have to clean up a large piece of land after I have paid 300 labors a day. I don¡¯t have much money on hand, and I¡¯m afraid that it won¡¯t be a good year when I clean up the wasteland over there.¡± I can¡¯t help people. , Let¡¯s talk about work. If there is a group of people who doesn¡¯t like to work and wants to rest, others will inevitably follow the same pattern, which will reduce efficiency.


    "How come?" Zhao Wanwan withdrew her hand when she said that she didn''t need to help, with a face of disbelief, "You have 50 acres of land together."


    Li Qinghe was helpless, "Fifty acres are wasteland and forest. If I rely on them for food, I will starve to death sooner or later."


    Even if you want to make money, that''s something for the future. At the beginning, you can only fill in money, and it feels like a bottomless pit. If nothing else, just wages, that''s not a small sum.


    "Why do you use so much money to buy that barren mountain forest? What is the use of it?" Zhao Wanwan looked puzzled, "Just to not lend the money to the villagers?" In fact, she wanted to ask, is it for not? Lend it to her father.


    It would be awkward to say this straightforwardly. Li Qinghe frowned, "Why do I have to borrow money if I have money? Even if I didn''t buy land, no one would borrow it. Could anyone say that I am not?"


    At this moment, Liu Lanhua came out of the backyard with a basin, "Sister, the chicken has finished eating again, do you want to feed it?"


    Walking out, I saw Zhao Wanwan squatting in front of Li Qinghe.


    The two looked at each other, both uncomfortable.


    Li Qinghe was caught in the middle and didn''t notice the rigid atmosphere at all. Recently Li Fu and Zhao Dashan were cleaning up on the wasteland over there. Liu Lanhua was at home alone. Her little sister-in-law was sick and could not sleep at night. There is movement in the house. Zhao Dashan simply asked her to help with the work, and when the time came, he would cook for his sister and just talk.


    As for this side, I just said that I just eat, help clean up the housework, and don''t need money.


    At this time, when she heard her question, Li Qinghe said casually, "I have to feed the chickens. There is no fixed food. The chickens will be added after they are eaten. There were a lot of damages. After the weather is cold, it becomes more difficult to raise.


    Liu Lanhua smiled, "My elder sister has already raised it very well. My mother also raised a dozen, and finally raised one. Later, when she grew up, she was bitten by the dog."


    While talking, she went into the wing to get chicken food, and then went to the backyard.


    Zhao Wanwan felt complicated, "Sister, why did you ask her to help you? Do you pay for it?"


    Hearing the next four words, Li Qinghe shook his head, "Pure help, my brother-in-law thinks she is boring at home, let her help me work, just eat two meals, no money."


    Zhao Wanwan immediately lost her interest. In fact, she just asked casually. Now that she has a different identity, she can''t help with work, especially the work of serving chickens and pigs, which is too salty. "Can''t I really let my dad help with the work?"


    Li Qinghe shook his head, "My uncle is responsible for finding part-time jobs. If I just cram people into it, what should he do?"


    Upon hearing this, Zhao Wanwan said hurriedly, "But he said that if he invited my father, you would be angry."


    The words are all up to this point, in other words, they are all disgusted to this point. Normal people shouldn''t continue to ask questions, just understand it, and ask them again, but they will have no face.


    The yard was quiet, with only the sound of Li Qinghe turning the blades of grass. Zhao Wanwan stood up and sighed, "My husband recently wants to accept disciples. If my sister knows the right one, I can let them come. It will be cheaper. "


    Hu Yanxi can also make money.


    Speaking of this, I have to mention the places that Qian Lai Xing wrote under his name. Because the talents were exempt from food tax, there were a lot of people who linked up at that time. When they finally got it back, they were fined three years of food tax. Here, Hu Yanxi, everyone is much more cautious. Originally, the villagers were less courageous. The county magistrate said that he was able to get the land back and only fined three years of grain tax. It was pure luck. If there is another time, The land must be sold to the public again.


    The prefects have said so, so almost no one can find Hu Yanxi anymore, even before that, they also found him and returned the land.


    The way to earn money from the grain tax was cut off, and now it is starting to collect disciples. Shu Xiu is actually not cheap, and it is certainly no problem to feed his family. I heard that Hu Mu has stopped helping. A mother who considers herself to be a scholar, it''s hard to work for others.


    Zhao Wanwan left by herself. She walked a long way and turned around to look at Li Qinghe''s house. She found that the door was still open as she came out, not to mention sending her off, so she didn''t come to close the door.


    In fact, after Hu Yanxi passed the exam, people who once looked down on their mothers and daughters will now take the initiative to greet them. Only the Li family has the same attitude towards them.


    When she went to Li Xingwang, she could still detect the faint disgust in the eyes of their family, especially the eyes of the old man when she looked at her, and there was disgust in the disgust.


    In fact, the Yang family next door was rejected after Li Xingwang was found. Yang Lanhong never went out after being brought back. The Yang family was rejected and did not ask to come.


    After more than 20 people worked for half a month, a large piece of weeds showed their original soil surface. About ten acres of land were cleaned up. Not only were weeds cleaned up, but the large and small rocks inside were moved to the edge of the soil. When I got up, because it was a barren slope, the soil was not a large piece of land like the flat underneath, but a modern terraced field. When the spring starts, it can be ploughed in spring.


    The weather was already cold and it started to drizzle, and it felt very cold when the rain fell. Therefore, no one is invited in the field, and I will talk about it next year.


    Besides, those who help have to go home and prepare firewood for the New Year.


    I''ve been very busy recently, thanks to Zhou''s mother for helping with the baby.


    That night, when it was supposed to be time to sleep, the door was banged. The knocker seemed very anxious. Zhou Chengkang went to drive and said, "I have to go to town, are you going?"


    Li Qinghe was confused, "Who is it?"


    Zhou Chengkang has already begun to dress, "It''s your brother-in-law. His sister is very sick and must be sent to town immediately."


    "I''ll go too." Li Qinghe put on his clothes and went out. He was already at the gate with a carriage, and outside the door, Liu Lanhua was supporting a weak girl, looking at the night, she was very thin, not as good as her about ten years old. The girl is big.


    It seems that it is not an exaggeration that Zhao Dashan has no one to come to propose marriage. Such a girl marries home, not to mention working and having children, she has to worry about her death at any time.


    When everyone got on the carriage, Zhao Dashan and Zhou Chengkang sat in front, Li Qinghe got into the carriage, and through the faint candlelight, he saw the girl''s face glowing blue, and it seemed that she was going to...


    Although knowing that the visit in the middle of the night should be seriously ill, the girl has been very ill for many years. She jumped out of the carriage again, "You wait."


    She ran back to the room like a gust of wind. After a few breaths, she took out the two quilts from the room and said, "It''s not so bumpy."


    Zhao Dashan wiped his face, "Thank you sister."


    Two extra quilts were put under the carriage, and the speed was so fast that he went all the way to the hospital of the mayor of Doctor Huang. There were several doctors in the town, and he was the only one who lived in the hospital.


    Seeing Zhao Xiaotao¡¯s appearance, the gloom on his face that was awakened as soon as he fell asleep immediately converged. After getting the pulse, he went to the medicine cabinet to grab the medicine. He moved quickly and put the medicine directly after the preparation. Pot, his wife had already made the fire over there and started boiling immediately.


    After a quarter of an hour, there was already some medicinal soup color in the medicine jar. Doctor Huang poured it out and couldn¡¯t wait to let it cool. He directly put the medicine bowl into a larger bowl filled with cold water. It seemed that he was not the first. After doing this, I quickly poured the medicine down after a few breaths.


    "Fortunately, it came quickly!"

 Chapter 98： noisy

    After drinking the medicine, Zhao Xiaotao''s complexion improved, but she was still pale. Doctor Huang looked at Zhao Dashan with a serious tone, "Although your sister has recovered her life, this time...I''m afraid she can''t get through it, prepare Funeral."


    Zhao Dashan immediately burst into tears, Liu Lanhua patted his back to comfort him, "Don''t blame you."


    Doctor Huang retreated to the side of the medicine cabinet, and Zhou Chengkang felt embarrassed by guarding them, and stood aside with him.


    With another pair of medicines, Zhou Chengkang took a few people back and directly sent Zhao Dashan back to his home.


    "This quilt..." People moved in, and Liu Lanhua was a little apologetic holding the quilt before she fell to the ground. "Sister, I will return it to you after I wash it."


    "It doesn''t matter." Li Qinghe took the quilt home by himself.


    If Zhao Xiaotao really can''t make it through, Liu Lanhua will be busy next.


    The next morning, the genius was brightened and the door was knocked again. She was still as impatient as yesterday. Zhou Chengkang got up to open the door. It was Liu Lanhua. She cried, "Brother-in-law, please take us to town again..."


    It was too late to come back last night, and the carriage didn''t solve it at all. When he arrived at Zhao¡¯s house, Zhou Chengkang couldn¡¯t go in to help. Li Qinghe followed Liu Lanhua and saw the girl with thin cheeks in the room at a glance. At this moment, her face was still a little blush, smiling slightly, she was talking in a low voice, watching When the two of them entered the door, the corners of her mouth became deeper, "Brother, you married a good sister-in-law. Later... I am relieved to have her with you..."


    "Sister-in-law...you have to be good!" Liu Lanhua nodded hurriedly, "you have to be good too."


    She smiled weakly, her eyes fell on Li Qinghe, "You are a good person, I often... listen to my brother and sister-in-law talking about you... Thank you for your quilt... very soft... very warm..." She looked at the window. "In fact, it''s good. I always feel heavy and my breathing hurts. I don''t want to... live, torturing my brother, and torturing myself."


    Under the candlelight, her eyes became brighter, "Father..."


    Then her head tilted slightly, the smile on the corners of her lips had not fallen, her eyes slowly closed.


    She is no longer there, and Zhao Dashan''s sorrowful cry sounded in the room instantly. He was lying on the bed and holding his sister''s hand, his voice was low and sad.


    Zhao Xiaotao is gone. The people in the village didn''t think much of the funeral of young people, so the funeral was not as lively as other homes.


    Li Qinghe has been staying there to help, but she feels that the girl is a pity. She has been ill for so long and in pain for so long, but she has not developed a temperament that resents the world and is very optimistic. She also knows to thank her. Up. If she is good, she must be a good girl.


    It can be seen that Zhao Dashan and his sister have a deep relationship. After the funeral, he still fell ill.


    In the blink of an eye, it was raining one after another in mid-October. In late autumn, as long as it rains, it feels like winter. The cold wind is blowing outside, and work is impossible.


    If you can''t work, you are ready to spend the winter.


    In the newly opened land, Li Qinghe didn''t plan to grow wheat. The wasteland had been confiscated. With bad luck, he couldn''t even get the seeds back, so it would be good to plant sweet potatoes.


    In the winter, when she was free, she ran to ask Doctor Huang about planting medicinal materials in the forest.


    If feasible, she plans to try to plant some after spring plowing in the new year. Doctor Huang actually only grows some medicinal materials, and only knows the habits of some medicinal materials, such as where they grow.


    Li Qinghe himself probably knows a few very common ones. To be honest, it means everything starts from the beginning.


    Now it is getting colder and colder, and I can''t rush.


    The two killed the pig again. Many people from the village came to buy meat, and they even killed a pig for pickling.


    Later in the twelfth lunar month, they started fishing and selling fish again. It is worth mentioning that Liu Yuan didn''t mean to share with them, and he said hello when he passed by. The Yang family stopped talking at all.


    During the New Year period, there are a lot of people buying fish in town. Especially last year, the price of fish was too high and many people did not buy it. This year the fish price is right, and most people will pick one or two.


    Zhou''s mother had been living here. On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the fish of Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe were a little small and they were sold. When they returned home, it was already dark.


    Xiyu was already asleep, Zhou''s mother lit the brazier and warmed the food, "Tomorrow, I''ll go home for the New Year."


    "Good." Li Qinghe responded.


    The two began to eat, Zhou Mother looked at them, "I''ll do less in the future, don''t be tired, Xiyu is still young."


    Xiyu has Zhou''s mother carrying her to walk every day, and she also teaches him to talk. He would already leave in October. Now two months later, he walks more and more safely, and occasionally looks for things. She would also call parents and milk, Zhou Mu took it, and she was very happy all day long.


    Zhou Chengkang responded.


    He listened to her again, "When you are young, you have to give birth to more children, and you have to say yourself. When you grow up, you will have no brothers or sisters, and you will be alone!


    Nagging, she didn''t know what she said.


    On New Year¡¯s Eve, Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe went back early in the morning. The kitchen was in use by Zhang Haiyao, but there was no need to clean it. Although Zhou¡¯s mother¡¯s main house was not living here, she often brought Xiyu back to see her. After Yuhui was gone, she was still able to clean it herself, so in fact, she only came back to clean it two days ago, as if someone had been living all the time.


    Boss Zhou and the two rushed back in the afternoon. It is worth mentioning that the two came back in a carriage. The brand-new carriage, including the rope, was new.


    When he led the horse into the yard, he smiled and said, "I said I don¡¯t need to buy it, but Meihua said it¡¯s more convenient to have a horse. If you walk with Xili in this kind of weather, you might catch a cold. I think so. Can''t suffer the child..."


    "Isn''t it just a carriage?" Zhang Haiyao said, "If the eldest brother buys the kind wrapped in silk and satin in the county town, the wood of the carriage is mahogany, that would be good. It is said that it is covered with a mattress, which is more comfortable than a bed. It''s not bumpy, so it''s not a bitter child."


    The tone is mocking.


    Boss Zhou couldn¡¯t bear this tone, and he replied, ¡°We have little knowledge and have never been to the county seat. Even if this is the best, my younger siblings can go to the county seat, but unfortunately..." .


    The Zhang family refused to accept Zhang Haiyao back to live with her family. This was a knot in her heart, and she couldn''t mention it at all. At this time, when she heard him mention it, she was angry on her face and wanted to say it again. Last week, the third child pulled her off. , Motioned her to look at Zhou''s mother who was already looking upset at the kitchen door, and immediately stopped talking.


    She didn''t speak, Mother Zhou glared at her and said, "Haiyao, come and help quickly."


    Zhang Haiyao responded crisply, "Mother, don''t move, just let me come, and the younger brothers and sisters will come."


    Not mentioning Mei''s outside the courtyard alone.


    Mei let the children go to play, went into the kitchen by herself, silently helping, no one talked to her, mainly because she yelled Zhou Mu after entering the door and ignored others.


    It stands to reason that Zhang Haiyao choked a few words outside, but Li Qinghe didn''t. When she walked in, Li Qinghe still called her, so just let it go.


    This year, it is destined to have a bad time.


    At a later time, Li Qingmiao and the two came back with their children. There were a lot of people in the room, and the atmosphere was not as rigid as before. Then they talked about the nonsense in the town.


    First, Li Qingmiao, she said that the cousin next door wanted to send the child, and wanted to make Hu Yanxi a little bit cheaper for repairs. He charged one or two silver a year. The whole family might not be able to earn one or two silver a year. , Not including pen, ink, paper and inkstone.


    "My eldest brother said that after two years of reading, he can read words, and then go to the town to be a shopkeeper. Kao Xiucai didn''t even dare to think, is that reading? That is to pile up money, and he also teased that he waited for his son to read it out. He has also collected a lifetime food tax."


    "That''s not right," Li Qinghe laughed. "Then if a talented person is admitted, the children underneath will be spared from repairing. If there are more births, it would be more cost-effective."


    This is just a joke.


    Everyone in the room including Zhou Mu couldn''t help but laugh.


    "Yes!" After Li Qingmiao was stunned, he took it seriously, "I have to go back and persuade him."


    Although the atmosphere was not good at first, it slowed down anyway. The house on Mei''s side was cleaned up, and he didn''t say if he wanted to go back today, and finally stayed in.


    The next morning, Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe took them back to Li''s house early in the morning, and now they don¡¯t need Li Qinghe to work when they go back. The tea, water and snacks, including meals, are all ready and served.


    This year, the Li family¡¯s two daughters came back, and Liu Lanhua also went home.


    The couple were diligent, even in the first year of the middle school, they ran to the yard to clean, and helped Li Fu to replace a bad hoe. During the meal, Zhao Dashan held up a glass of wine to Zhou Chengkang and said, " Our house has no land. After the New Year, I will help my brother-in-law. Don¡¯t dislike it."


    After the New Year, I would definitely invite someone, and that was nothing in itself. Li Qinghe responded with a smile and thanked him again. Compared to the Zhou family''s embarrassing atmosphere, the Li family was much better.


    In the afternoon, the two were about to go home. When they passed Zhou''s house, they heard a dispute inside.


    "My mother has lived in the village for most of her life. If you have to take someone to the town and be filial and filial, she must be pleased?" This was Zhang Haiyao''s voice.


    The Zhou family quarreled, and the two definitely couldn''t pretend to be inaudible and leave directly, so they entered the door. Before opening the door, they saw the five sisters and the wives who were far away walking slowly. The five sisters were heavy, and Zhao Liyuan supported them. Very cautious.

 Chapter 99： Kind of medicine

    There was still noisy in the yard, and the two stood still. Waiting for the Wumei couple to come closer, planning to go in together.


    Sister Wu frowned slightly, "What is Sansao arguing about?"


    "It may not be your third wife''s business." Li Qinghe whispered.


    Standing at the door and waiting for this while, most of the disputes between the few people have been pieced together. It seems that the two of them are going to take their mother to live in the town. Zhou Mu herself did not agree.


    Then Zhang Haiyao quarreled with them.


    Zhang Haiyao is not so much fighting for Zhou''s mother as it is that she finds someone to quarrel with Zhou''s husband and wife to get revenge on Zhou''s mockery of her earlier.


    He left the boy and the child and wanted to go to the county seat, but his father at the county seat refused to let her go back. This matter cannot be mentioned in front of her. Fried at the first mention.


    "Let''s go in." Zhao Liyuan said. Actually, he was a bit embarrassed, but this was all at the door. It would not be appropriate to turn around and leave.


    As soon as a few people walked in, the noise in the room disappeared. If Zhou Chengkang and two of them walked in, the noise might be even worse. But the fifth sister is different. She married out and brought her husband back. Zhao Liyuan is a guest to Zhou''s family. If his mouth is broken, he will be embarrassed if he goes back and talks to his parents.


    Zhang Haiyao reacted fastest, "Ah, Liyuan is here, I''m going to cook."


    Mei also lowered his head and walked out, Li Qinghe naturally followed.


    The atmosphere in the kitchen was embarrassing. Speaking of the Zhou family¡¯s daughter-in-laws, Mei¡¯s family had no maiden family, and Zhang Haiyao¡¯s family was in the county seat. However, Li Qingmiao was originally a recruiter, so when he arrived, only Li Qinghe returned to her family''s home.


    Mei looked at the yard and whispered, "Four younger siblings, we weren''t arguing just now. Mother should have lived with the boss. We live in the town to make money, so we can''t move back specially for my mother, right? "


    Li Qinghe said.


    Mei''s hands spread out, "But mother is not willing to go."


    "Actually, the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law can try to persuade me, but I can''t." She took out a piece of meat, which was prepared by Zhou''s mother for the first day of the new year. In other words, it was specially prepared for it. The Wumei couple ate when they came home, she washed it with the hot water in the pot, and while cutting it, she said, "My mother lives on my side now. If I persuade her to go with you, she might think it is. I don''t want to keep her, it will be uncomfortable then."


    Mei sneered, "It is said that the emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love Yaoer. It''s not a lie. Why can you help your family with your mother? I also help you with your children cooking, but my second and third siblings did not Such a good thing."


    Li Qinghe and Zhang Haiyao secretly glanced at each other. If Mei hadn''t been married, even if it was less, her bride price would not be missing. When she first entered the door, she just didn''t want to do so. If it wasn''t for the brothers below to get married in a hurry, Zhou''s mother wouldn''t allow her to enter.


    Neither of them answered the conversation. Who wants to quarrel with her on the first day of the new year today?


    The two people here were silent, and Mei said again, "I know, you all think that we will not come back to help the mother in the autumn harvest too much... Then when I entered the door, there was no bride price at all, and the young crops did not ask for the bride price. What''s the difference between this and confession? I have confession, what else do I help?"


    This is too much, no matter what, the family is busy, can''t help with some work? It was not once or twice that Li Qingmiao went home to help. Not to mention the son, even if the daughter married out, Zhao Liyuan also came back to help.


    Li Qinghe didn''t want to quarrel with her, so he cooked the meal and sent the guests away. Zhang Haiyao wasn''t a man who swallowed his anger. He put the tub in his hand on the table with a "pop" and sneered, "See if you can, a widow with a mother-in-law, it''s not bad if your elder brother can ask you, but he also recruits... There is Lady Liu guarding, but you recruit one to see?"


    "What do you mean?" Mei''s face was ugly. Can''t go to the county, this matter can''t be mentioned to Zhang Haiyao. So for Mei, she didn''t want to be mentioned in her previous days.


    Zhang Haiyao brought the pot again, "I have a good day, forget the previous suffering, I remind you!"


    All asked for it. Li Qinghe also said, "Mother did live with me and did help with work. But she also helped the second siblings and third siblings with children. Sometimes the two children stayed with me for a whole day, sometimes Fight. I didn''t say anything. You are going to live in the town yourself, and now you are not helping you with your children... Sister-in-law, do you think you are reasonable?"


    Mei was dumb and angrily said, "You two call me one, just because I''m rich and jealous!"


    "What kind of wealth are you?" Zhang Haiyao sneered. "My younger siblings have 40 or 50 acres of land, and they didn''t float up to the sky like you. I am jealous of her, and I won''t be jealous of your days..."


    "Don''t make a noise." Zhou Mu came in, "A visitor is there, what''s it like?"


    During the next time, Zhou''s mother stayed in the kitchen to help with cooking. Mei didn''t dare to make trouble anymore. After the five sisters had finished their meal and sent the people away, Zhou''s mother closed the yard door and said, "Town , I won¡¯t go.¡± She looked at Mei, ¡°You want me to take the child, just put it down, but if the child is sick, you have to bring it back for treatment.¡±


    "Where I want to live, I live comfortably on the fourth side, I''m willing to live, and hold back if I''m not convinced!"


    When such words were said, no one had anything to say. The two of Mei took the children directly back to the town.


    Later, Zhou''s mother cleaned the main house and returned to the west of the village. It was like Li Qinghe said to Mei that Zhou''s mother lived with her and she could not drive her mother-in-law to leave. Besides, she also helped with the work of the child, she was so stupid that she drove Zhou mother away.


    If the child Xiyu is really looking for help, there is no one who can reassure her more than Zhou Mu.


    After the Chinese New Year, every family started spring plowing. As you can see this year, Li Qinghe''s house will definitely invite people when there are so many places. Everyone is busy doing things at home for a few days.


    In the village, Li Qinghe and his wife were notoriously paid for their wages. They paid after the work was done. They were also willing to have a meal at noon. There was some meat in the food, which was a good job.


    Every year Li Qinghe''s land is the last to be planted, and she is not in a hurry. There are more sweet potato seedlings this year than in the previous two years. It was planned for a long time, and all sweet potatoes will be planted in the wasteland above.


    When the villagers were busy with spring plowing, Qian came back quietly.


    After recovering from the injury, she lived in the Hu¡¯s house in the town these days, but Hu¡¯s mother was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Although she did not drive her away directly, she ran on everywhere, sometimes deliberately not leaving food. Qian can''t live anymore.


    After returning to the Qian''s house, she and You had a complete fallout, and the two didn''t communicate at all. The Qian''s family had already lived with Zhao Tianfu''s family of three. Now I live in another Qian clan...The villagers have everything they say.


    Especially in the early days, many people put their land under the name of Qian Lai Xing through Qian''s family. When I asked Qian for help, I gave a gift. As a result, I didn''t take advantage of it. On the contrary, I was fined three years of food tax, and I was worried for so long. Now that Qian Laixing is dead, these things are counted on Qian''s head, and she can''t directly trouble her. The villagers will arrange two or three things between her and Zhao Tianfu.


    For a while, that means everything.


    Wumei gave birth to a daughter at the end of the first month. Zhao Liyuan liked it very much. Although Zhao¡¯s mother was a little disappointed, she gradually became happy when she watched the infant child every day. At the beginning, she herself was Zhao Liyuan who was born after giving birth to a girl. When she was three years old, she had accepted her granddaughter, and said that her granddaughter was cute and laughed.


    In February, when the people in the village were finished, Li Qinghe began to hire people. Due to the large number of people helping, all the land was planted in a few days. Then, she found a few people to go to the woods and cut out the small trees and weeds.


    Doctor Huang has already saved some medicinal seeds for her. Try to plant for a year first, then save the seeds yourself, and you will definitely have seeds. It will be planted in large areas next year.


    In March, a few acres of medicinal materials were planted, and they were all very common medicinal materials, but Dr. Huang said that although these medicinal materials are common and the price is not high, the amount of medicinal materials is also large. Can''t sell.


    Li Qinghe asked Doctor Huang for these medicinal materials. She had already said that he would be 10% profitable when the time came. Doctor Huang refused, but she insisted and asked the mayor to come over and write the contract.


    As a result, Dr. Huang had to pay special attention to the medicinal seeds and the place where the medicinal materials were planted, and he ran to the village every two days. More than that, Li Qinghe had thought about it a long time ago. After that, he had to rely on him to process the materials, whether to dry or rub, whether to take leaves or rhizomes. Although she was willing to ask her if she didn''t give her money, she would have gone more wronged in that way. It would be much better if Doctor Huang looked at it.


    In fact, the soil in the forest is better than the waste grassland. Much of the soil in the forest is rotted by years of dead leaves. She and Zhou Chengkang took the time to move the soil back into the forest and build a layer on the first few acres of wasteland. The food harvest is indeed much better. It is also very suitable to grow medicinal materials.


    After three months of busy work, it finally eased up. Although Li Qinghe didn''t have to go to the ground to work day and night, there were a lot of chores at home and he was also very troubled.


    In fact, from cleaning up the wasteland last year to planting food this year, the two people also sent out more than a dozen wages, which everyone can see. Therefore, she is not surprised when someone comes to borrow money again.


    Among those who helped her with her work, sometimes they would come to her and tell her that there was a lack of money at home. Li Qinghe would also be willing to pay a little salary first, but she would lend a little money if she borrowed money that she was familiar with. A good talker.


    But for some people, she wouldn''t borrow it at all.


    For example, the Yang family next door.


    The Yang family sat in front of her, much older than they were when they first moved in, "Does your family misunderstand us? We are all neighbors, why don''t we communicate?"


    "I can''t get close," Zhou Chengkang said directly, "Perhaps we had enemies in our previous life."


    When Father Yang choked, he obviously didn''t believe what he said.


    But in fact, they really had a grudge in their previous life. The bowl of medicine Li Qinghe drank was said to have been caught by Father Yang. Yang Lanrou gave Xu Changjie a question and stood by and watched him feed it. Finally, she cried, "I don¡¯t want to of."


    "Brother Zhou said and laughed," Father Yang smiled reluctantly, "Actually, I want to get along well with my neighbors."

 Chapter 100： Love

    "We also want to get along well with our neighbors." Zhou Chengkang said in a serious tone. "I get along well with Min Rui behind me. In truth, we are two points closer to my brother."


    "It''s not our problem to get along well with your family." Zhou Chengkang continued, "You owe so much money to the people in the village, and my husband and I don''t like borrowing money the least in our lives, and we don''t like people asking us to borrow money. Talking about money hurts feelings. If you want a good relationship, it¡¯s best not to get money."


    But if the relationship is not good, he will not borrow money.


    This is a dead knot. In fact, Father Yang came to the door, and he probably had nothing else to do except borrow money. These words blocked him from borrowing money.


    Father Yang was dumb for a while, looking at Li Qinghe, frowning slightly, "Speaking of when you weren¡¯t married, Qinghe had saved my son-in-law. I remember that Qinghe asked for a gift, but it was my daughter¡¯s money... ¡­" He scanned the yard, "It seems to be the land here that I bought with the money."


    "That''s right." Li Qinghe said frankly. She was supposed to be thankful at the beginning. She almost died. She saved Xu Changjie''s life, but she didn''t need more than a dozen silver. As for the money Yang Lanrou paid, it was her willingness, but it was not what Li Qinghe asked her for.


    "When you saved my son-in-law, was it because you treated him..." Father Yang paused, "So you don''t like my daughter, and you don''t like to interact with our family."


    The underlying meaning is that Li Qinghe hasn''t let go now, so he will bear hatred.


    How much self-confidence does Yang''s father have to think that his son-in-law is so good, it is worth thinking about even if the child is married?


    "I said this is not for you to pay back the ten taels of silver, but I just hope that you will see the original incense..."


    Zhou Chengkang interrupted him, "Let us pay it back and we won''t pay it back. We should collect the money seriously, but it wasn''t we blackmailed it. Where can I find such a good deed for a dozen silver dollars? Besides, my wife paid it back. I rescued him once, and I haven''t given a thank you gift yet. I have been pretending to be stupid. Xu''s family has quality problems and is not grateful. Therefore, we are also not familiar with their family."


    How can people answer this?


    Father Yang was dumb.


    Zhou Chengkang was already impatient to deal with him. In fact, they were not allowed to enter the door, but when they came there happened to be someone buying fish. They went into the yard by the way, but the fish buyer left, and the couple are here. chat.


    Looking at this posture, it seems that there is no end to it.


    "Don''t!" Seeing that he was about to leave, Father Yang said hurriedly, "In fact, we came to the door and asked for something."


    "I know, borrow money." Zhou Chengkang replied, "Needless to say, our family doesn''t have it, so much money is paid, and now the family has a few copper plates."


    "If it''s normal, I won''t say this." Father Yang looked embarrassed. "My son, he was a very good boy. The master said that he is very talented and intelligent, and he is very likely to be a talent. .But I didn¡¯t expect that he would steal things last year... After that, he stopped going out, maybe he was still hit. After the spring of this year, I sent him to the county seat, I wanted him to try the county test. But I didn''t expect..."


    Li Qinghe looked at him suspiciously, and asked curiously, "Stealing something again?"


    Father Yang sighed, "He got into a gambling and lost all his money. He ran to borrow money and borrowed twelve taels. Ligunli is now twenty taels. There is news from the county town. If it is within ten days If you don''t have thirty taels of silver, he will chop off his hand."


    "You know, a scholar¡¯s ??hands are the most important thing. He can¡¯t study if he is sick. He can¡¯t carry on his shoulders and can¡¯t pick them. If he doesn¡¯t have his hands, he will be a useless person. For this kind of thing, I..." He wiped his face and his eyes were red.


    Really...the prodigal!


    "But you are embarrassing us when you come." After hearing enough of the story, Zhou Chengkang sighed, "We really don''t have money in our family. If it was last year, we could still take out twelve taels, and we paid for the first two days."


    If the fish stolen did not happen last year, and Father Yang went to the village to raise money like last year, he might be able to recover most of the ten taels of wages sent out, but now... the first wages for building the house have not been paid. Well, let alone the few ounces of silver borrowed from the village last year, it was so violent that it hasn''t been repaid at all.


    For Father Yang, a few pennies was nothing, but for the villagers, it was all the savings in the family, and now they can¡¯t get it back after borrowing it, don¡¯t mention much regret.


    The lesson from the past is here, so now that Father Yang wants to borrow again, almost no one in the village will agree.


    After sending away the Yang family and his wife, Li Qinghe was quite emotional. In fact, at first, she didn''t think the Yang family would be in a slump. After all, normal people would not dare to owe the villagers money like that?


    But in fact, Father Yang really doesn¡¯t itch when there are too many lice, and he doesn¡¯t worry about too much debt. He owes so much money to others. They still live a fine life with peace of mind. Of course, they eat fine noodles every meal. Mo can''t compare with the days before their home. But compared with these people in the village, it is a very good day.


    A typical person takes the money from someone else''s house and lives a good life with peace of mind.


    However, it is about to end.


    Within two days, I heard that Father Yang had picked up his son from the county seat. After Li Qinghe heard about it, he had to sigh that the Yang family had a solid foundation and would pretend to be poor.


    Unexpectedly, as soon as Yang Lanhong picked it up from here, the Xu family quarreled. It turned out that Xu Changjie had stolen his own deposit and used it for his father-in-law to rescue his brother-in-law.


    The Xu family has been very diligent over the years. Xu Changjie had been helping as a shopkeeper in the town earlier. The salary was good, and he never spent it. Xu''s mother will manage the house, so she can save money. According to her, she saved more than 20 taels, all of which were money for Xu Changjie''s younger brothers and sisters to get married, and planned to build a few houses. In fact, many girls in the village secretly like Xu Changjie, not only because he looks good, but also because of his wages and the foundation of the Xu family.


    Unexpectedly, he stole all the foundation of the Xu family to the Yang family this time.


    The whole Xu family came to the Yang family and insisted on forcing them to pay back the money.


    Father Yang has a debt, where can I get it?


    Xu''s mother was anxious and scolded, saying that Yang Lanrou was a vixen and a broom star, a catastrophe, and all kinds of unpleasant words came out because of her marriage with the Yang family for eight lifetimes.


    Even if there is an acre of land in between, Li Qinghe still hears most of it, but feels a little bit relaxed in his heart and feels good all day.


    In her previous life, Xu''s mother had praised Yang Lanrou many times in front of her. She was gentle and polite, and she looked good, and the children she gave birth would definitely look good. He also said that the Yang family''s wealth did not raise her spoiled, and that the Yang family''s decline was only temporary, and that sooner or later it would be better. Seeing her and Xu Changjie quarreling because of Yang Lanrou, she told her not to be careful.


    Sure enough, people are all compared. Nowadays, without her ignorant daughter-in-law, Yang Lanrou was so unbearable in Xu''s eyes.


    However, the only thing that remains unchanged is the deep feeling between Xu Changjie and Yang Lanrou. Using all the money in the family to save the brother-in-law, it really is true love.


    More real than Li Fu''s feelings for Qian!


    If Li Fu liked the Qian family any more, he would not agree to the money to help the Qian family and brother-in-law. She sighed with emotion. Zhou Chengkang saw her in a daze and asked, "What are you thinking?"


    "It really is true love." Li Qinghe said casually.


    Seeing her eyes, Zhou Chengkang suddenly said that it was the next door. He approached and asked with a low smile, "Am I not true to you?"


    Hearing this, Li Qinghe couldn''t help but smile, "We are different."


    "Yes, it''s not the same." He agreed, "I treat you more truthfully."


    While talking, I saw Xiyu running over not far away, "Mother, have a meal..."


    Li Qinghe''s eyes softened suddenly, before answering, he saw Xiyu slipping under her feet not far away and sitting on the ground.


    The ground in the backyard was never as flat as the front yard. He was less than two years old and was prone to wrestling. She reached up and pulled him up, smiling, "Slow down, don''t run, walk steady..."


    The child who hadn''t cried when he stood up suddenly started crying, his entire face wrinkled into a bun-like shape, "Mother, I hurt..."


    At first glance, it was a fake cry, and there were no tears. Li Qinghe: "..." Does this stinky boy dislike her nagging?


    He picked up the child and stuffed it into Zhou Chengkang''s arms, "The father and son both dislike me for nagging."


    "No." Zhou Chengkang was serious, holding the child who was no longer crying, and followed her and walked beside her. "Madame, if you have anything to say, I will remember it seriously and never commit it again!"


    Li Qinghe couldn''t help but sneered, "Teach your son well, he dislikes his mother, it''s fine, he won''t run away yet."


    Xi Yu said, "Don''t dislike it, take care of it."


    This should be what Zhou Mu said to him. Li Qinghe was not really angry at this time. He couldn''t help but laughed, stretched out his hand and pinched his face, "Waiting for you to take care of your life, the road will not go Stable and have to wait."


    While eating, listening to the yelling in the next room, Zhou mother said, "The Xu family''s child used to look like he could carry it clearly, but I didn''t expect to steal the money from the family to subsidize the wife''s family."


    After a while, he said again, "However, saving people is like fighting a fire. You can''t just watch my brother-in-law''s hand being chopped off. It''s kind of honest."


    Zhou''s mother praised Xu Changjie for interrogation, and Zhou Chengkang couldn''t bear it anymore, "Where is the kindness? If your son takes out all your old bottom..."


    Before she finished speaking, Zhou Mu exploded, "Dare you!"


    Zhou Chengkang spread his hands, "Then you still praise others for their kindness? Why not be kind as I am..."


    Zhou''s mother suddenly became dumb and glared at her son. Comparing the heart to the heart, she actually understood Xu''s mother''s mood very well, picked up a bowl to feed Xiyu, "Sorry, don''t steal your mother''s silver when you grow up, or you''ll be mad."


    Li Qinghe and the two quietly looked at each other and couldn''t help laughing.


    Mother Xu cursed for three days and jumped to the outside of Yang''s yard. In fact, her voice went hoarse in the afternoon that day, and it was useless to persuade anyone. But I can only curse, the Yang family really can''t get any money.


    When her throat became hoarse, Mother Xu cried. After crying for two days, she cursed again when she remembered. Finally, seeing that the Yang family was indifferent, she gritted her teeth and ran to the mayor''s house to sue her son''s boss for money.


    Everyone who heard the news was stupid. I didn''t expect that Xu''s mother would really even sue her own son when she became so cruel!


    It was a family matter, and the mayor was not happy to come, but Xu''s mother threatened that if she didn''t help resolve the matter, she would hang herself at the door of the mayor''s house, which was simply a mess.


    Helplessly, the mayor had to send someone to take Xu Changjie and ask the Xu family to take the money to redeem him. If the money is not seen within five days, he must hand him over to the county government.


    It takes two years to steal two hundred texts. This is more than twenty taels, which is probably at least ten or eight years.

 Chapter 101： Burglar

    I sue my son, and I don''t want to redeem it. This is to force Yang Lanrou to feel sorry for her man, and then find a way to take the money to redeem him.


    Mother Xu is really a cruel person.


    In fact, it is more ruthless than anyone else.


    Many people in the village felt that this trick was too poisonous. Originally, this silver was stolen for the talents of the Yang family. Now that he himself is in jail, the Yang family should also find a way to fish him out. If you don''t fish, let alone what reputation the Yang family is. For the next ten years, Yang Lanrou had to stay alive. And Xu''s mother still wouldn''t let her in. What''s the difference between being hustled and going home?


    The Yang family once again began to raise money in the village, but unfortunately no one was willing to borrow this time. Even if it gave 50% profit, no one agreed.


    It is true that the Yang family owes too much silver, as Li Qinghe said, the IOU is to write one hundred taels. What is the use of not getting the silver?


    On this day, it was raining. Li Qinghe had a rare time. He took his son to find Yu Yan. The two of them didn¡¯t have much land. Yu Yan was only responsible for embroidering. The children were all taken by Min Rui, who was just one year old. When you need an adult to run around, especially if you add a sharp Xiyu, you will run even more joyously.


    Min Rui was very patient and ran back and forth under the eaves with his two children.


    Li Qinghe holds a needle and thread in her hand to make clothes. After getting married, she rarely has time to embroider. The two were whispering anecdotes about the child when they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside.


    Yu Yan ignored it, and it didn''t take long for Min Rui to bring in a thin woman.


    ¡ª¡ªYang Lanrou.


    Yang Lanrou''s eyes were all swollen and haggard. She was a little surprised to see Li Qinghe also after entering the door.


    Li Qinghe got up, "Since you have guests, I''m going back."


    Yu Yan stretched her hand and glanced at her, "What are you going to do? Where is the guest? People left in a while. You finally came here, what run?"


    Yang Lanrou, who was accused of leaving in a while, tears had already fallen, "Qinghe, since you are here, listen by the way."


    Min Rui had already retired and closed the door, and Yu Yan snorted, "The same is true of Min Rui. Put everyone in."


    Yang Lanrou''s face turned pale, and she ran away from many people these days, and Yu Yan was the first to be so bluntly disgusted. Even if the others had no money to borrow from her, they were all polite and would comfort them. Many couples even quarreled because of her.


    "Just talk about it, and leave when you''re done." Yu Yan urged. Seeing that the tears on her face were falling more fiercely, Yu Yan was annoyed, "What does it mean to come to my house and cry? I wonder if I can''t go to the dealer''s house to cry?"


    Yang Lanrou was accused by her and wiped away her tears, "Yu Yan, I know you hate me because I am married to Changjie..."


    Yu Yan raised her hand, "I hate you, not because of who you marry. It''s because of your unpleasant temperament, as if the man in the world should accommodate you. Why?"


    "It''s hard for me to find a man who treats you normally. Is it easy?" Yu Yan glanced at her. "You used to ran over to deliver steamed buns and water three days ago, dare you not mean to seduce him?"


    Not only did he not admit that he didn''t like her because of Xu Changjie''s questioning, but instead accused Yang Lanrou of what she had done.


    Yang Lanrou was stunned, teary, especially pitiful. But in front of her were two women who didn''t like her, naturally insensible.


    But she quickly reacted, "Yu Yan, Chang Jie was taken away by the mayor, do you know?"


    "I know." Yu Yan nodded, "It''s still you who are great and spend a lot of money as a beauty. He is really sincere to you, and he has taken out his money for you. I don''t know if he ever thought that the silver was his mother when he took the silver. He has saved money for so long. His younger siblings have to rely on this to get married, and his parents have to rely on that silver to provide for the elderly."


    "I don''t want it either." Yang Lanrou''s tears fell again.


    Li Qinghe didn''t listen to her words the most, especially when she said it in tears, which seemed very hypocritical. I couldn''t help but said, "You don''t want to take the silver? Didn''t save your brother?" The tone was the same, but Yu Yan felt something was wrong and gave her a suspicious look.


    "The mayor said that if there is not enough money in the past few days, he will send him to the county prison." Yang Lanrou raised her eyes and looked at Yu Yan, "I know you like him too, and you can also take out this money. Can''t you lend me the silver? Later...we will return it to you."


    "No." Yu Yan rebuffed, "Can''t borrow, no. Also, I like my husband, not him."


    Unexpectedly, she was so straightforward, she didn''t hesitate at all when she said these words. Yang Lanrou was stunned again, her eyes fell on Li Qinghe who had already picked up the needle and thread again, "Qinghe..."


    Li Qinghe looked up, "Don''t say that, I will be angry. If I am angry, I will hit someone."


    "I''ll say it again, I don''t save people because I am interested in him, but to thank him." Li Qinghe emphasized, and glanced up and down at the haggard Yang Lanrou, "If I had the intention, I might have married him."


    Yang Lanrou''s face was as pale as paper. Choked and asked, "Can you really help?"


    "Why?" Yu Yan is not polite, "I heard that you have caused many couples in the village to fight in the past few days. Do you want us to lose peace? Think about it, if I save him with money, Can my man let me go?"


    Yang Lanrou was anxious, "Then you can''t just watch him go to jail, anyway, once..."


    Li Qinghe held his chin and looked at it for a while, then suddenly said, "Do you think that everyone in this village should like your couple? People who don''t like you are not normal."


    Yang Lanrou was dumb.


    Yu Yan was startled, "Really."


    He urged, "You go quickly!"


    Today, she seems to be particularly impatient. Yu Yan has always been a gentle temper. She is sleek and does not fall into the hands of others when she speaks. She has never embarrassed anyone like this.


    Yang Lanrou said a few more words, and the two of them ignored her at all, making her eyes flushed with anger, and left a word and turned around, "You are all hard-hearted."


    She wanted to run out. The door was closed. She raised her hand to open the door, moving quickly, opening the door and rushing out.


    There was a figure at the door holding a child in one hand and hurriedly avoided it. It was actually Min Rui.


    Yang Lanrou never thought that there was an eavesdropper at the door. After a moment of stunned, she saw that Min Rui only looked at Yu Yan inside nervously. Without even giving her a look, she opened the door angrily and left.


    Min Rui put down Xiyu, first ran to close the door, and then ran to the door, but didn''t dare to come in, only came in with his head, and explained, "Yan''er, it''s not that I eavesdropped, but Yan''er is looking for her mother."


    With that, Yan''er looked at her son very well and stretched out her hand, "Mother, hug."


    Yu Yan looked at the father and son with arms folded, and snorted, "Do you think I should borrow the silver or not?"


    Min Rui is serious, "If you want to borrow, borrow it, I will never say a word."


    Yu Yan seemed to smile, "That''s fine, go get that girl Yang back..."


    "No, no..." Min Rui hurriedly refused, "People are gone, what are they going to do to find her back? Besides, you once said that you wouldn''t let me talk to her, I won''t go!"


    Yu Yan couldn''t help it, she chuckled and glanced at him, "Vinegar jar!"


    Min Rui was a little uncomfortable, and coughed slightly, "There are still guests."


    Guest Li Qinghe: "..." It can be treated as if I don''t exist, really!


    Li Qinghe sat aside and saw from the beginning to the end. He ate a bowl of dog food raw. He couldn''t sit still now and took Xiyu home.


    At night, I heard the Yang family quarreling next door. Upon listening carefully, it seemed that Yang Lanrou had scolded her father for being ruthless and unjust, and refused to sell the house for ransom.


    The land and house in the Yang family are worth some money now. If they are gone, they will really have nothing.


    Xu Changjie was locked up in the town for ten days, and the Yang family collected twelve taels of silver and went, or if anything, he later wrote an IOU of fifteen taels to Xu''s mother before he brought him back.


    However, Xu''s mother refused to let the couple in. Xu Changjie had to give her a penny every month to support her, wherever they lived.


    The house in the town had to pay rent. In fact, with so many debts, Xu Changjie and his wife could not go anywhere, and finally returned to the Yang family. The married daughter brings her son-in-law back to her natal home for a long time. In fact, it will be offensive. But all this was because of the Yang family, and Father Yang couldn''t refuse. At this time, if he kicked out his daughter and son-in-law, he would have a reputation for being ruthless and unjust.


    The weather is getting hot gradually, and the medicinal materials planted are still alive. It seems that there should be a harvest.


    However, it is inconvenient for people in the village, because the hill near the village was bought by Li Qinghe. In the past, the villagers used to chop wood where they wanted to go, but now they can¡¯t buy this hill. If you want to go in this direction, it will take half an hour to cut down the tree.


    Therefore, there are almost no people heading towards Li Qinghe Linzi.


    She didn''t find someone to guard it, but the Ermo couple occasionally took a look. Now the harvest is also confiscated inside, even if there are thieves, they can only cut trees. In the future, someone may need to patrol the mountain.


    One morning in May, Li Qinghe and the two heard a rapid knock on the door outside before they got up. Zhou Mu Jueqian, when she heard her open the door next door, neither of them moved, but might as well hear the sound of the door opening. Later, it was Zhou''s mother''s voice, very anxious, "Fourth old, Qinghe, come soon!"


    The two got up with their clothes on, and when they went out, they saw Boss Zhou standing at the gate, his entire face covered with wounds. If they weren''t familiar with him, they wouldn''t be able to recognize him.


    Zhou Chengkang took a few steps, "Brother, what''s the matter?"


    "Last night, we were thief." When Boss Zhou spoke, he seemed to have hurt the corner of his mouth. He grinned and became more and more ferocious.


    "What''s the matter?" Mother Zhou frowned, "Is it just stealing or hitting someone? Did it hurt Xili?"


    He looked at the carriage behind him again, "Where is the plum blossom, why is she not here?"


    "Go ahead." Zhou Chengkang frowned, "Qinghe, you go find some medicine for injury."


    When Li Qinghe took the ointment for traumatism, Boss Zhou was talking about recruiting the thief last night. The thief went through the yard and stole something. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a figure shaking in front of the bed, subconsciously. Just shout.


    As a result, they were not alone. Three or four people came in and tied him up, asking him to hand over the money. He would beat him if he didn¡¯t make it, and he would beat him if he was not satisfied. Not only he beat him, but even threatened to beat Heili. Now, those people took the silver and Mei''s jewelry and left.

 Chapter 102： deal with

    Zhou Chengkang helped him rub the medicine. He was still talking over there, and his mouth was hurting when he spoke. From time to time, he grinned and showed a pained expression. He said that those talents took silver and jewelry away when it was dawn. Mother Zhou couldn''t help it anymore, "How about Xili? Where''s Mei Hua, has she been beaten?"


    Boss Zhou waved his hand, "The two of them are okay. It''s just silver...hiss..."


    Hearing him say that Mei''s and the child are okay, Zhou''s mother was relieved slightly, and heard him mention the distressed look of Silver, and said, "How much did you lose?"


    "Fifty taels, plus the bracelets and jewelry on Mei Hua. The total is about sixty or seventy taels." Speaking of this, Zhou Boss looked sad, "I really gave them all."


    There was silence in the room, and Boss Zhou continued, ¡°If you don¡¯t give it, they beat me, let the plum to get the silver, but if you didn¡¯t use it, you continued to beat it. Li, let us take the silver. If we don¡¯t take it, we will have to fight Xili. He is so small, how can he withstand them?"


    "So, later the silver and jewelry were given to them."


    Zhou Chengkang helped him wipe his face and asked, "Have you gone to the mayor''s house?"


    Boss Zhou shook his head, "No, I don''t even know the mayor. I will come back and find you to accompany me."


    Zhou Chengkang got up, "How many of them do they have? Have you seen their looks?"


    "All heads covered." Boss Zhou thought for a while, "I can''t see." He added, "All men."


    Zhou Chengkang was dumb, what characteristics are men, there are more men in Luoyue Town. "Think again."


    "There is a very white skin inside. I saw him from the neck, and Mei Hua grabbed his chin when he grabbed the bracelet." Boss Zhou touched his neck, "Probably in these positions. There was a blood drop at that time, and he even snorted in pain. It should be someone who is afraid of pain, or...has never worked."


    In fact, Boss Zhou is not stupid at all. What I am talking about is very important. As long as he finds the man whose jaw has been scratched, there is always a way for him to recognize the others.


    Zhou Chengkang got up and said, "Let''s go to town as soon as possible and catch people sooner."


    Mother Zhou thought for a while, "I''ll go too and see the child."


    When something like this happened, Li Qinghe should also check it out. When he walked to the door, Zhou Chengkang saw Xiyu who was still sleeping and said, "You two don''t go, or go again in the afternoon."


    Alright, Li Qinghe took the child back to the bed and accompany him to sleep.


    When she woke up again, it was already early in the morning. She took the children to the kitchen to cook and eat. Chen came in and said in a low voice, "My house, there is something very strange."


    Li Qinghe glanced at her. Like other women in the village, Su Rili likes to inquire about each family''s affairs, and said casually, "What''s the matter?"


    "The Yang family is like that, right?" Chen pointed in the direction next door. "It was just then that news came out of their house that they were paying off their debts, and they urged everyone to hurry up... Are they willing to pay the debts? People passed by quickly. Just now, I made a special trip to the uncle¡¯s house and whispered to them to hurry up. Now it¡¯s gone."


    The uncle in her mouth is Li Xingwang''s family, this is purely shouted by the two.


    Li Qinghe thought of the fair-skinned man who was afraid of pain in Mr. Zhou''s mouth. He looked like Yang Lanhong next door.


    The next door was indeed very lively. They all said to catch the gangsters and get the thief to get dirty. The money did not say that it belonged to Zhou Boss. Besides, she was the only one in the house, and it was not good to rush away to prevent people from paying their debts.


    I was thinking about it, someone knocked on the door outside, and Chen ran to open it. It was Li Xingwang and the others who had just received their wages.


    He looked excited, "I didn''t expect the Yang family to really have money."


    Liu sighed, "I said earlier that I borrowed money from their family. You must not let it. If you borrowed it, you will also earn it now."


    "What are you earning?" Li Xingwang glared at her. "Are you not paying back the principal? You didn''t give me any profit. It''s luck to get it back. Don''t even think about profit."


    Liu didn''t take it seriously, "The Yang family has a big business, and it will definitely be back sooner or later."


    When I was talking, I heard a quarrel in the next room. The noise was loud, as if I was saying something like my own money and not going back.


    Li Xingwang''s face changed slightly behind him, "Why are you going back?"


    Busily took out a purse from his arms and stuffed it to the Liu family, "Don''t think about watching the excitement. Take these copper plates back and hide them."


    In fact, Li Xingwang didn''t get much, just a few hundred copper plates. They didn''t lend the Yang family any money, they just helped with some work, and they paid half of the deducted wages.


    Liu took the purse and went home quickly.


    Li Xingwang went out with his hands behind his back, "Qinghe, let''s take a look."


    When he left the door, Chen closed the door, and when he went to the wasteland, Li Qinghe said in a low voice, "My eldest brother came back early this morning. Their house was robbed last night, and he just woke up and shouted It¡¯s a bad thing, I was **** and robbed."


    Li Xingwang was surprised, "How many robbed?"


    "Dozens of silver." Li Qinghe sighed. Earlier, Mrs. Liu sold three tofu recipes, each of which was thirty taels. After getting it, she bought the town¡¯s yard. She was always frugal and shouldn¡¯t spend much. Then they all fell into the hands of the two bosses Zhou and bought a carriage. The rest... should be gone.


    The two had already reached the corner of the wall. Li Xingwang looked at the wall and frowned, "According to you, the silver issued by the Yang family today is probably from your eldest brother''s house. Their family also stole your fish. Your wild grassland. There are a lot of chickens in it, so it''s better to lock it up, lest he remembers to come and steal your chickens someday."


    Li Qinghe nodded, this wall is not so easy to lock. If it is really not a job to circle.


    After the two passed by, they just heard the mayor¡¯s voice, ¡°These are dirty silver. They were robbed by the Yang family in the town last night. They were stolen goods. The ones that were to be taken back were taken to the county seat to the magistrate. Convicted."


    Regardless of the honesty of the villagers, they are not stupid. If it was said that when the Yang family repaid the debts, everyone felt that the Yang family had a solid foundation, and they were able to pay a dozen taels of silver to repay the debts of the people in the village.


    The Yang family was already so poor that it was immediately robbed. If the money was returned, the Yang family would not be able to make it in this lifetime. The wages were paid back, and those who borrowed money would not be willing anyway. No one in the village has any money from the wind, but it is all in exchange for sweat. If it weren''t for greed of 20% of the money, it would be given to Father Yang.


    Hearing this, someone immediately ran out. In fact, some smart people ran all the way earlier, and even those who did not ran took the money home.


    "The Yang family grabbed it. It was indeed dirty silver, but it was true that he owed us the silver. The real money was taken. Our family is still waiting for the silver to marry a daughter-in-law."


    "You are the mayor, and you have to be reasonable. If the money is taken back, it will force us to die."


    Li Qinghe and his uncle entered together, and what they saw was this. Everyone was holding hoes and knives. This time it was no longer Father Yang, but the mayor under the eaves.


    The mayor at this time can be regarded as experiencing the mood every time everyone persecutes Yang''s father. And beside him, Boss Zhou with a wounded face was explaining to everyone that the silver was his. Mei cried while holding the baby.


    There are also some people who come to watch the excitement in the town. Some people enter the house and steal things. The people in the town are still quite concerned. If this thief is not caught, no one can relax and sleep. Mother Zhou looked at her with arms folded and stood with the people in the town. She saw Li Qinghe holding the child, coming up to pick up Xiyu, and sighed, "Let''s go back, there is nothing to look at."


    There is really nothing to look at. Li Qinghe will come here, mainly because she is curious about the source of Yang Family''s silver, and also because she heard the unusual noise that she just came to see in person.


    The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took Xiyu out of the Yang family''s door. As for the Chen family, if she didn''t urge her, she would definitely stay here to watch the fun.


    When she walked to the courtyard wall, Zhou Mu looked around and said, "Here is still a door."


    In fact, this courtyard wall was made by the Yang family, and the rest of this place was reserved for walking, and it felt strange to be sealed directly. When the courtyard wall came over, it was the wall that Li Qinghe had left for a walk and circled with thorns. It was mainly used to stop chickens. If people want to enter, they can''t get in without deliberately breaking the thorns.


    "If we circle around by ourselves, it will cost a lot of money." Li Qinghe thought for a while. "The chickens are different. They are not so easy to catch. They live in the chicken coop near us at night and come here in daytime. ."


    If they were caught flying, they should know about it.


    "Yes, if you build a wall in such a large area, how many years will you need to raise chickens." Mother Zhou sighed, "You two will count your lives, and you won''t make your life sad, the boss..." She shook her head, " The money should not be returned. If it is forced, the villagers will dare to die, do you believe it or not?"


    "If life is caused, it is the mayor, I''m afraid he will also have to go to court."


    Therefore, the mayor and village head will finally choose to appease Zhou boss.


    "It''s also great. I can put more than a dozen taels of silver on my wife, for fear that they won''t know that their husband and wife are rich." He said bitterly, "The silver is originally good enough to make people jealous, but you can''t be thief."


    Zhou''s mother became more angry as she talked about it, and Li Qinghe soothed, "Elder brother and sister-in-law would never have thought that someone would dare to **** it out. If they knew, they would definitely not be like this.


    Zhou Mu''s expression was difficult to say, "I''m so stupid."


    "Stupid." Xiyu''s words were round.


    Just now, Li Qinghe persuaded Zhou''s mother to calm down without seeing Xiyu''s face for a long time. When she heard Xiyu''s word, she laughed instead, "Xiyu also knows that he is stupid, don''t follow your uncle, let your parents worry about it." Back home.


    In the evening, the mayor took the Yang family, the village chief and Zhou''s old family back home. Indeed, as Zhou''s mother said, the money could not be recovered.


    The money was originally the wages that the villagers lent to the Yang family and helping their family work. Besides, they all got their own money back. The promised 20% profit was not seen at all. The mayor and the village chief have all the good things to say, but no one in the village is willing to pay it back, so they can''t go to other people''s homes to search?


    The Yang family locked the door and left, but the villagers did not leave. They all stood at the door of the Yang family to discuss, not to return!


    He insisted that he wouldn''t pay it back, and if he was in a hurry, he would die!


    Everyone felt reasonable, and ordered a few timid companies, and everyone dispersed.

 Chapter 103： gap

    After everyone had gone, Zhou Chengkang went home. He said that the villagers didn''t avoid him when they discussed with him, or that he meant to say these things in front of him on purpose.


    In other words, the villagers told him almost plainly that they had no plans to pay back the money.


    Mother Zhou sighed, "I always thought that I might not come back. Unless the Yang family can save money."


    This is impossible. The Yang family is really exhausted. Either sell the house and sell the land, and still save a dozen taels of silver. Just save it, don¡¯t forget that Xu¡¯s mother still has 15 taels of IOUs.


    This is not important. Li Qinghe remembered something and asked, "Did you see Yang Lanhong today?"


    No!


    After several people looked at each other and shook their heads, she asked, "If you can''t catch the thief, does the Yang family still admit it?"


    Zhou Chengkang frowned and said for a while, "I saw a scratch on Master Yang''s neck."


    Li Qinghe asked in surprise, "Does he want to help his son withstand the crime?"


    Zhou Chengkang thought for a while, "It is possible. I will ask tomorrow."


    The next morning, Zhou Chengkang set up a carriage again and went to the town. This time he took the whole family with him. The mayor¡¯s house specially found a house and closed the Yang family.


    When they arrived, Boss Zhou was already there, "So you can''t find anyone who is a thief now?"


    The mayor sighed, "Yes, he never let go of where Yang Lanhong went. We can''t catch people, and naturally we can''t find the few remaining people."


    "No matter what I say, he never speaks."


    Li Qinghe walked to the door of Father Yang''s house, opened the door and saw him sitting in a chair. Perhaps the sunlight was too intense. He squinted and saw the people clearly. He was quite surprised, "Is it you?"


    She walked to him and sat down, "It''s me. I came to ask where your son has gone?"


    Father Yang shook his head, "I don''t know. He will not live at home a long time ago. You don''t need to find him. I took the things at your elder brother''s house, but I didn''t beat the people. I didn''t do it, I was only responsible for getting the money."


    "Then tell me who the remaining people are."


    "I don¡¯t know them. Someone stuffed a note into my yard earlier. I opened it and told me to steal something. If I didn¡¯t do it, I would pretend not to see it. I owed the villagers so much money. It¡¯s difficult, so I touched the agreed place in the town at night. They all covered their faces and gave me a piece of cloth. I didn¡¯t know that it was your elder brother¡¯s house beforehand. Later, your elder brother found us and had no choice but to Tied someone up, beat him up, and asked his wife to get the money... Speaking of which, I helped. Some of them saw your sister-in-law looks good and wanted to ruin her. I stopped. If you don''t believe me , You can ask your brother."


    Li Qinghe was sitting across from him, listening to him saying that after going out, the few people directly divided the money and left, and then went home. It happened to be dark. He knew that the money could not be kept, and hurriedly asked his wife to find someone in the village to pay the debt. Those who want to pay back the money from the villagers, as soon as they have it..."


    Li Qinghe was impatient to listen to this. Earlier, the Yang family owed so much money to drink spicy food. If you are really embarrassed, you should have paid off some debts. Interrupted him and asked, "So, except for you. After getting the silver, I don¡¯t know who the other people are or how much money they have divided up. Even my sister-in-law¡¯s jewelry doesn¡¯t know who took it, right?"


    Father Yang nodded.


    After going out, she went into the next room. There was the mayor sitting on the front, and next to him was Boss Zhou with a bruised face. Underneath was the somewhat uncomfortable Mei, then Zhou Mu and Zhou Chengkang, and Zhou Lao San. The two, even Zhou Lao Er, also arrived.


    The mayor was holding the tea cup, pondering for a while, and said, "He said so carefully, he just wanted to prove that he was the one who robbed the object." Looking at Boss Zhou, "Are you sure the injured person has white and tender skin?"


    After several inquiries like this, Boss Zhou was not sure, and hesitated, "It should be. I lit a candle at night, and it looks really white, like a woman."


    Li Qinghe thought for a while and said, "He said it so carefully. If it were him, but in fact, he had no reason to help others to conceal the crime of robbing seventy taels of silver. One person is completely different from four people, but if it were not him, he But I can say so carefully, and I can start paying off the debt so soon, I must have been to the Yang family, and there will still be time to talk to him in detail. Maybe now the man is in the Yang family!"


    The mayor was taken aback, stood up and said, "Immediately find someone to visit Yang''s house with me again."


    The gate of the Yang family''s yard was closed tightly. The mayor asked the woman to open the door. The yard was quiet. After looking around the houses, no one was found. He stood in the yard with his hands in his hands and looked at the wall of the Yang family in thought. He suddenly heard a scream from the backyard. A group of people rushed over and saw a ladder on the wall, and a painful cry came from outside the wall.


    When I walked outside, I saw Yang Lanhong, who was only wearing a shirt, lying on the ground, holding his leg and crying, there was indeed a **** road between the neck of a woman scratching out.


    The mayor took the people back, and the whole family of Yang''s family only lived in his house.


    Yang Lanhong¡¯s experience is what Yang¡¯s father said. He didn¡¯t know more about it, but the mayor told him to remember it over and over again. From morning to night, at midnight, he finally couldn¡¯t stand it, "Although I didn¡¯t watch it. It looks like a few of them, but one of them looks like Zhao Tianfu."


    Zhao Tianfu has been at home for the past two days, and he even ran to watch the farce of the Yang family for a long time, and he couldn''t see that he had a problem.


    But since Yang Lanhong said so, Zhao Tianfu was also taken. Because of this, I even ran to invite both of the Liu family brothers for questioning, but they happened to go to the county town to get fish that night, and several people from the county town¡¯s fish pond testified together. They were indeed released when they had no time. Went back.


    Zhao Tianfu insisted on not admitting it, but it was soon discovered that he had paid back a sum of money owed to the gambling house in the past two days. The profit was exactly 18 taels, which happened to be the money he had allocated.


    When they heard the news, the expressions on the faces of Zhou Boss and Mei''s Li Qinghe couldn''t bear to look at them. Their complexions were distorted and couldn''t cry. The capital is miserable!


    The two people spent their money, and they still had to come back. For the remaining two people, Boss Zhou was even more anxious. Fortunately, the mayor soon got the news. Someone ran to the only gold house in town. A pile of gold must be melted in the shop.


    The gold was smashed into a gold cake, and there was no way to see its original face. It was an old woman who came to melt the gold and claimed that the gold was inherited from her ancestors.


    The gold stamped on it was so fresh that it was said to be an ancestral, completely impossible. But it was really impossible to find the mark of Mei''s stuff. Unless you can find someone who smashed gold.


    Luoyue Town said that it is not big, and that it is not small. The mayor found this but couldn¡¯t delay anymore. The other wealthy households in the town refused to allow him to continue the investigation. To put it bluntly, he did not trust his ability. . Or I''m afraid that he will take care of him and put people back.


    Zhao Tianfu and Yang Lanhong were stealing fish earlier, but the mayor wanted to put them back.


    He even said that the mayor''s heavy compensation was to plant a hidden danger for today. If people don''t have the money to repay their debts, they will naturally think badly. If they don''t send it off this time, they will also go to the county town to file a lawsuit against the mayor for harboring the prisoner. Or it may deliberately let off the prisoner by accepting bribes.


    The last one was a bit embarrassing, so the mayor sent the confession to the county town with the Yang family, Zhao Tianfu, and a few witnesses. Including the squashed gold nugget.


    When the people were sent away, Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe were also safe. They don''t have to run every day. In fact, it is not good not to run. It seems that the brothers are so unkind.


    She even noticed that Boss Zhou and the two had a suspicion for their husband and wife. On the day they came back, Mei said: If you were cruel and didn''t covet the dozens of taels of silver from them, we would not have today. The curse.


    Is it unreasonable? Then the two of them want to sue. The mayor deliberately hides it from him. They can''t go against the mayor, right?


    Not to mention anything else, just planting medicinal materials. I still need people in the future. Besides, what if I need to buy land later? Besides, if people are willing to compensate, she doesn''t need to waste her energy just to send people to the yamen, right? It takes five days to go back and forth between the county seat!


    Again, this time the mastermind was not Zhao Tianfu, nor Yang Lanhong. The testimonies of the two were similar. Someone secretly stuffed a note into the yard. If it weren¡¯t for Zhao Tianfu¡¯s childhood studies, I¡¯m afraid. Can''t recognize the word yet. Since the mastermind has someone else, then there are no Zhao Tianfu and Yang Lanhong, there are still others coming at night!


    At that time, Zhou Cheng was angry and was about to take his wife away.


    Li Qinghe was not accustomed to her problems, so he said directly, "If it wasn''t for my sister-in-law to wear twenty taels of silver on her body, no one would look at you." If you are a wealthy family in town, there are so many people in your family that they would not dare to come home. . They were lucky. Even though the couple still brought a thin child, they could wear gold brightly. Although Mei did not go out, many people in the town went to her house to buy tofu. The caring person sees it.


    Then, the two returned to the village. No matter what happened to them, they heard that the family of three went to the county seat in a carriage and waited for the result.


    After running for five or six days, after returning home, I slept well and took Xiyu with Zhou Mu. She went hunting in the mountains with Zhou Chengkang and cutting wood by the way.


    I went to my forest this year.


    Li Qinghe was happy as soon as he entered the forest. "Whoever is like us, buys the forest for hunting."


    Zhou Chengkang took it seriously, and said proudly, "My wife spoils me!"

 Chapter 104： child

    After buying this piece of wood, the two really didn''t check it carefully. It was rare and leisurely. The two went home in no hurry. Hunting was the second thing, mainly walking around in the woods.


    "When you have time to wait, I still have to ask Doctor Huang to come and see for himself. He often gathers herbs, and he probably knows where to plant the herbs." Li Qinghe smiled.


    Zhou Chengkang doesn¡¯t matter. He¡¯s not afraid to work, especially with Li Qinghe. Even if he¡¯s tired, he feels at ease. This is a dream he couldn¡¯t even think of in his previous life. That''s it."


    Li Qinghe turned to look at him and smiled, "Actually, I think you dote on me quite a bit."


    Zhou Chengkang looked around and saw that there was nothing else but trees around. He stretched out his hand and hugged her, "It should be." His tone was natural.


    Li Qinghe laughed immediately. The two wandered around for a long time, and finally hit a rabbit. The woods here were not deep, and the two of them didn''t go far. They were very happy to hit a rabbit.


    Just a rabbit, they didn''t want to send it to the town to sell. After taking it home, he cleaned it up and simmered, and sent a bowl to Li Fu.


    Whenever I go back, the yard of Li''s house is cleaned up. After sitting for a while, hot rice and vegetables will be served. Liu is really a diligent person.


    Li Qinghe returned home with the meat, and at a glance he saw the Liu family in the yard, cutting his clothes. Seeing her entering the door, he smiled and said, "Qinghe is here?" In a blink of an eye, he saw the bowl in her hand, and got up with a smile, "What else is there to give us back?"


    Liu took the bowl with a smile, turned the meat into his own bowl, and took the bowl to the well in the yard for washing, and said, "Your father went to your uncle''s house."


    After being with the Liu family, Li Fu often went to Li Xingwang''s house for dinner, and occasionally invited all of them to eat. In fact, compared to Qian, Liu is really a woman who can live a good life. Her clothes and hair have always been kept clean and tidy, and she is not the temperament of Qian who does not work with Li Fu on his back. No wonder Quan Shi likes her.


    Just now when Li Qinghe came in, she was at home alone, and she was still doing it with her clothes.


    This was not the case with Qian before. Li Fu was not there. She didn''t work most of the time. When he got home, she started making clothes. Then, Li Fu did the cleaning of the yard.


    "I''m not looking for him." Li Qinghe also turned around and left. She sat at the stone table and saw that the fabric in the basket was cut into small pieces. She was a little surprised and asked, "Is Lanhua pregnant?"


    Liu''s hand dried the bowl, and said with a smile, "No, this shirt is made for Xiyu. I made the material your father bought by the way."


    "If Lanhua is pregnant, it will be fine." His expression was a little dazed.


    She seemed to think of something else. She looked at the sky with a smile on her mouth. She narrowed her eyes because the sun was too big. She quickly recovered and went to sit down at the stone table again, "Qinghe, sometimes I think, am I? Dreaming? Will you wake up right away? I¡¯m not at Li¡¯s house and I¡¯m still there...I especially like drying quilts. This quilt is warm and soft. It¡¯s not the one that was lumpy and had a sour smell."


    Probably it was her former husband''s house. I heard that she has been guarding for three years. Looking at Lanhua¡¯s earlier names, the days before the mother and daughter were probably difficult.


    "Qinghe, if I don''t do anything well, you must tell me." She said sincerely, "I''m not afraid to work, I''m afraid to go back to the old days."


    Li Qinghe dumbly said, "This is good." Suddenly, she felt a little strange. She had been in the door for more than a year, so how could she remember to say this. Tentatively asked, "Did something happen?"


    Liu put down the needle and thread and sighed, "Is it so obvious?"


    It is indeed obvious that the Liu family used to greet people with a smile and not much talk.


    "Wanwan''s mother came to the house several times recently." Liu''s voice became lower and lower. "The neighbors on the left and right said that your father should still want to live with me, but I''m not as good-looking as her, nor as good as she can cry."


    Hearing that he would cry, Li Qinghe''s eyelids jumped down, wouldn''t he ran here to cry again? "Don''t think about it, she wants to come in again, she won''t agree from me."


    The two were talking, and there was another person outside the fence. Li Qinghe looked up and saw Qian.


    It turned out that Liu''s was not exaggerating at all, and she really came.


    Liu''s lowered his voice, "She has been here every day these days, and it happens that the two of your uncle''s family are repairing the yard, so I will ask your father to help." He did not hide his careful thoughts.


    After speaking, got up and opened the door.


    Qian came in and said, "Where is Li Fu? I''m looking for him."


    When I stepped in, I saw Li Qinghe sitting on the stone table, looking at her coldly.


    "Qinghe...you''re back." Qian quickly reacted, "I have something to do with your father."


    "Unfortunately, my father is not here." Li Qinghe looked at Liu''s, "Aunt Liu, tell you something. If she comes again in the future, don''t open the door, don''t our Li family have a reputation?"


    Although it was a reproach, but with no reproach, Liu immediately understood what she meant.


    Qian''s reputation in the village now is much worse than when she followed Li Fu back then. The main reason is that her own work also provokes people to gossip. She ran to live with Zhao Tianfu and his wife. Many people secretly said that they were together. Waiting, don''t mention how ugly.


    Hearing Li Qinghe''s words, Qian''s complexion was not very good, "Qinghe, do you particularly hate me?"


    Li Qinghe stretched his hands, "I need to ask? Is this unclear?"


    Qian''s face turned pale, "I don''t have your life, I didn''t meet a good father or mother, and I didn''t meet a good man. Are these my fault?"


    Zhao Tianfu is okay, Li Qinghe doesn''t know, but Li Fu is good enough for her. She has to toss about it herself, and loses that little affection. Now Li Fu is not a good man.


    However, I don¡¯t know what to do with her. If I know that I¡¯ll meet her when I come over today, Li Qinghe is really not willing to come. She is impatient, "I¡¯ll take care of your fault, and you can go out quickly."


    It doesn''t feel good to be pushed out. Qian''s complexion is hard to look like, "I''m looking for something to do with your father."


    Li Qinghe frowned, "My father is not here, can''t you hear or understand? How come you are like a rogue, you just don''t leave."


    Seeing the undisguised disgust on her face, Qian was stunned and explained, "Zhao Tianfu was taken away. I got up this morning and found that the woman was gone and the child was crying with hunger."


    The daughter-in-law ran away, which is a rare event in the village, but it is not strange to think carefully about the woman''s origin. "Just leave, what are you doing with my dad?"


    Qian was hesitant to speak, and it seemed that there was something difficult to say, or that it was difficult to say to her.


    Li Qinghe reached out to push someone, "Go back."


    Qian was thin, she was grabbed by her and walked out of the yard step by step, and said quickly, "I just wanted to ask your father, do you want to adopt that child? That''s a boy, well-behaved and good-looking..."


    She raised her eyes to look at the Liu family over there, "You two have no children, and it¡¯s not long before you don¡¯t have children. You see, Li Fu and I are very good, but now we are not going on both sides."


    Asking Li Fu to help Zhao Tianfu raise the child, the Qian would think about it at a loss. Li Qinghe suspects that sometimes her mind is not clear at all and drags people out, saying, "In fact, you don''t need to ask my father, I can answer you for him. He is absolutely I won''t help Zhao Tianfu raise children."


    Qian left with a frustrated face.


    It''s not so much to let Li Fu get rid of her, it is better to say that she still wants to try how much Li Fu still has feelings for her, and what is the bottom line of conniving her.


    "Okay, I''m going back." Li Qinghe picked up the bowl and turned to go out, before leaving, "I definitely wouldn''t agree with my father to raise that child. What kind of children do my grandchildren have? I really like children, Xiyu Just take it and play for two days."


    When they returned home, the grandparents and grandchildren were enjoying the coolness under the eaves, and they were talking about the woman Zhao Tianfu who had run away. "The woman in the flower house has been accustomed to living a good life by the man. Seeing that this side is unreliable, she ran away. It''s normal. Then Zhao Tianfu must not come back so easily this time. He didn''t even have a house, so he had to make a few acres of land for others, which was only enough to feed two mouths."


    Mother Zhou shook her head, "I just pity the child."


    Many people said that the child was pitiful, but the child was raised by the Qian family. After half a month, the couple returned from the town, chasing a few taels of silver, and the rest was spent.


    The mastermind was two gambling ghosts in the town. They read books when they were young, and occasionally heard people talking about the authenticity of the bracelets in Mei¡¯s hands. Many people said they were fake, but some people vowed that their husband and wife had a lot of money. , They were all left behind by Lady Liu, there were nearly a hundred taels, maybe the bracelet was real.


    Regardless of whether the bracelet is true or not, the silver must be true. Once the two discussed it, they approached Yang Lanhong, and they knew Zhao Tianfu themselves and knew he was short of silver recently.


    In fact, the one who really didn''t know the inside story was Yang Lanhong. The three hit it off. As for why they brought him, it was purely because they wanted to find another person to share the charges in case something happened.


    He never thought that things would be bad for him, but in fact, whether Yang Lanhong or not, Boss Zhou must go to the mayor, and sooner or later he will find the traces of a few people at the gambling house, unless they don¡¯t pay the debt, but profit Money is borrowed, it is impossible not to return it.


    When the Yang family went there, the whole family went, but when they came back, they were missing the father and son.


    The woman is gone, and it is said that she sold her to pay off her debt. So, in fact, only the mother Yang brought by Yang Lanrou and his wife came back.

 Chapter 105： food

    When the Yang family came back, the people in the village were still very concerned. It wasn''t because of anything else, but because they were curious about Father Yang''s things, such as how many years he was sentenced, or how he tried the case during the trial, or the people who watched Not many, and even more, many people in the village have not been to the county seat. They only heard about the prosperity, but they don''t know how it is. If someone is willing to say it, they can listen to it all day.


    However, the current situation of the Yang family is not suitable for asking.


    The father and son of the Yang family were in jail. At first glance, it looked like Yang Lanrou had hired a parent. Xu''s mother even came to the house once, not to mention that the father and son of the Yang family were not there. Cheng Xu''s father is regarded as the IOU.


    In fact, Yang Lanhong''s money was still paid to the villagers, and there was a little left, and the Xu family''s five taels were paid back. Now he owes only ten taels.


    But the house is more than a dozen, not to mention Mother Yang, even Yang Lanrou would not agree.


    Later, Xu''s mother took a step back and let the person who changed her name to Xu Changjie repaid the debt.


    In fact, it was too much, clearly bullying the Yang family.


    But the Yang family really couldn''t refuse it anymore. Originally, they moved in from outside, and they had torn their faces because of borrowing money and many people in the village. Even though he has paid back his money now, he is not isolated or even expelled by everyone.


    The Xu family has been in the village for many years, and if they don¡¯t even have contact with their family, they will really be completely isolated.


    It¡¯s okay in the town. If you are isolated in a sheltered place like this in the village, it¡¯s actually a terrible thing. If nothing else, you don¡¯t know anything that happens in the village, it¡¯s like being blindfolded.


    Mother Yang pondered for a long time, but finally nodded.


    Nodding, the house became Xu Changjie''s, Xu''s mother was satisfied, and Xu Yang''s family continued to communicate.


    Because of this, Xu''s mother deliberately told her close family that there can be such a small courtyard in the village. It is a very powerful family. If nothing else, the marriage of the children can go smoothly.


    Li Qinghe never thought that they would still be neighbors after going around.


    Now she can''t take care of this. It''s time to dig the sweet potatoes in the field. Although the families in the village listen to these things that happened to the Yang family with their ears, in the final analysis, it is the work of their own fields that is most important.


    Zhou''s mother was also busy going back to work. Zhou Chengkang originally wanted her to take the child, and after Li Qinghe invited a good person, he did the work in the field for her by the way, but she refused and couldn''t stop it. I went back by myself.


    As in previous years, no one would come out to help until the food was confiscated from each family, but there were always exceptions, such as Zhao Dashan. He was not an exception. He really had no land. People harvested in autumn and he was busy fighting everywhere. A day job, after helping Li Fu for two days, he ran to Li Qinghe''s house to help.


    Every family is busy, including the two Xu Changjie next door, who also carried their hoes to dig sweet potatoes in the field. Also, the Qian family, who was unable to harvest the land in autumn, also took the children to the field. The Qian family¡¯s land was planted by the You family. After she went to the door for a big fight, You¡¯s got a lot of money. The meaning of the joke, the land was returned to her.


    There is also the land of Zhao Tianfu. The person who planted the land was his own cousin. He had already told everyone in the village that he couldn''t do anything when he was old. When the food in the land is recovered, he will not plant it next year.


    In fact, I just want to clear the relationship with Zhao Tianfu, who is a thief who dares to steal, who dares to continue dealing with him?


    No matter who grows it, half of it will be given to Qian, because Zhao Tianfu''s son is with her.


    The autumn harvest is busy, but all are happy. This year was a bumper harvest. Last year, everyone grew sweet potatoes and they planted more. This thing is hungry and doesn¡¯t make your throat irritating when you eat it. Now the villagers have come up with many ways to eat, such as making them into pancakes after they are cooked. A little bit of frying until golden on both sides is delicious. Not to mention adults, even children like it.


    In this way, eat sweet potatoes every day. After a year, you can save a lot of food, and you can sell the food for money, cheap and delicious, the best things.


    After busying for half a month, Li Qinghe finally harvested the sweet potatoes and wheat, and let someone help take care of the land for a few days. This year''s autumn harvest was good.


    She couldn''t eat so much of that sweet potato, so she asked Zhou Chengkang to sell it in the town. When the autumn harvest came, the mayor''s house began to collect sweet potatoes and grains. After the harvest, they were sent to the county town. It is said that the price is not bad.


    The autumn harvest is over, and the weather is pretty good this year. Li Qinghe has picked up Doctor Huang. The medicinal materials in the field have been planted for more than half a year, and some can be recovered. However, because there are not many, Li Fu and Zhao Dashan came to help. It''s over.


    Although most of the medicinal materials are planted in spring, they can also be planted in autumn. They have been planting medicinal materials for a few days before they can be considered idle.


    As soon as they were free, the two began hunting in the mountains again. This time they brought Xiyu on purpose, mainly to take him out to play. He had to see Zhou Chengkang¡¯s bow and arrows earlier, because his father was a spoiler. It took half a day to make him a small one.


    Xiyu walked steadily in the yard, but in the woods, it was... a flat place was okay. In places with a little more leaves and weeds, I saw him wrestling with a bow and arrow.


    I didn''t cry even after falling down, got up by myself and chased after his father excitedly. Li Qinghe looked very happy.


    With the children, the family of three went home before the sun set, and just picked up some mushrooms. Li Qinghe sent some to the mother of the village.


    Carrying Lanzi and Xiyu to the village, not long after he set foot on the road in the village, he saw a circle of people watching the excitement.


    It''s lively, in fact, she also likes to watch it, and she found Zhou''s mother before and after she got together, and Zhang Haiyao at the side also looked in and asked, "Mother, what''s wrong?"


    Qian''s eyes were red, and he was holding a crying child, crying, "Why don''t you give it? Why don''t you give it? Although Zhao Tianfu is gone, his son is here. You planted his land without giving food. Do you want to starve his son to death so that he can cut off his sons and grandchildren and take possession of his land?"


    While talking and crying, the child in her arms might be frightened by her disintegrating emotions, crying even louder.


    Opposite her, the old man who was grabbed by her clothes was full of helplessness, and kept pulling at his clothes, but she squeezed it so tightly that she didn''t let go.


    He pulled hard and said, "It''s not that I won''t give it. I have been planting it for so many years and I haven''t been shameless. Now he is not here. If I give this food, he will not know it later."


    "In front of so many people today, I still said that. When Zhao Tianfu comes back, I definitely don''t owe him how much food should I have this year."


    There was a lot of discussion among the people around, and they felt that both of them were reasonable. The Qian family should help others raise their son and get back the grain belonging to Zhao Tianfu. But Zhao Tianshou''s words are right. People are not there. What if Zhao Tianfu comes back and doesn''t admit it?


    Originally, Zhao Tianfu was a scumbag, and this kind of thing will happen completely.


    Seeing that there was no one around to help, Qian''s tears fell even more fiercely, "If his son is so small, if he doesn''t have food, he can''t starve to death? It''s better to ask the village chief to testify. It is really impossible to write a deed to show that you have given the child food. , It''s okay, right?" After that, I couldn''t cry.


    Zhao Tianshou couldn''t get his clothes back, and didn''t bother with it. Anyway, so many people around knew what was going on, and he sighed, "Sister, don''t cry, it looks like I''m bullying you. Don''t even ask the village chief to testify. If you say this is his son, but his mother ran away, if he is not Timfu¡¯s son, I really can¡¯t get the food back. I can¡¯t divide you half, when he comes back and asks me again Half, then am I doing nothing this year?"


    Hearing this, Qian was stunned, "He likes this child the most, how could he not be his son?"


    Zhao Tianshou saw that many people around him showed unspoken eyes, spread his hands and said to everyone, "I''m not talking nonsense, am I?"


    "We all know his mother''s birth. Tim Fu hasn''t had a home for three days, and this child''s mother often ran to find her. Who knows if she is looking for Tim Fu or a wild man? If there is someone outside, she can run so fast. , If something happens here, she will have a next home."


    "Furthermore, Tim Fu loves this child... It doesn''t have to be the child''s father who does not necessarily hurt the child? It is not only Tim Fu in this world who treats a child who is not his own child as his own child." He looked around, no Seeing Li Fu, he said, "Li Fu raises a daughter for you, don''t you dare to say that it hurts? The dowry is half and half of your own daughter, and even more gracefully."


    In the end, she didn''t grow up, and she became a talented lady, and she never went to the door.


    This is a deliberate argument. In the final analysis, he still doesn''t want to give food. His concerns are true, but the high food prices in the past two years are also true. It can be said that there has been no such price in the past ten years.


    When talking about Zhao Wanwan, the people in the village began to talk about other things. Qian''s face was pale, and the fingertips of his clothes became pale.


    Zhao Tianshou no longer has the patience to entangle with her, he pulled back his clothes, and said, "I also heard that you are going to change this child''s surname to Qian, so this food is even more impossible to give you."


    His voice was slightly higher, "Same sentence, the day he comes back, I will definitely give him the food, or else he won''t have to come back to the house, and there must be food to fill his stomach?"


    "However, I won''t plant that land next year. Whoever wants it, I owe him one year of grain anyway. If you are willing to work, you can use it to plant it."

 Chapter 106： Medicinal herbs

    Even if it was so long in front of so many people, Zhao Tianshou just said that there is no food, and the ground can be used for planting.


    But for so many years since the Qian was married, he really hasn''t done any serious work, just go to the fields, which is also a waste of time. However, there is no one to help planting in Zhao Tianfu''s land. Regardless of the fact that the villagers are not rich, there are many stubborn people, and some people will never interact.


    Qian cried, looking around, and saw that everyone didn''t mean to pity her at all except the look at the theater. Suddenly the tears fell more fiercely, "Can you help us both?"


    The son of a thief, who would be willing to help?


    Li Qinghe didn''t care about the child''s background, but she didn''t like the Qian family and would definitely not help.


    In fact, this child was raised by herself. Perhaps the mother of this child left the child when she saw that she wanted to smash her.


    Besides, in fact, everyone did not see where these two people are suffering. The Qian family¡¯s land is still there, and Zhao¡¯s land she can continue to grow. At most, she will be more bitter this year. By next year, being more diligent will not starve to death.


    Now that there is no food at all, she only grows vegetables in the fields to eat, but she is the only adult and the child who eats, and a little bit of food is enough, and she will definitely not starve.


    Therefore, everyone didn''t care about her tears at all.


    Li Qinghe watched too much, she cried, a little impatient, stretched out her hand to pull Zhou''s mother, "Mother, I picked some mushrooms, go home and tidy up."


    Zhou Mu turned around and pulled Zhang Haiyao before leaving.


    Recently Zhou Mu said that she was living here and the field was very busy. Zhang Haiyao even helped her cook by the way. In fact, Zhou Mu had never opened fire when she came back to live these days.


    When he arrived in the yard, Li Qinghe poured the mushrooms on the ground. The three people and two children squatted to tidy up, and then took them to wash together. Zhou''s mother kept talking about letting them have children.


    Don¡¯t think Zhang Haiyao likes to take advantage of the small bargains, and she doesn¡¯t care about others, but her daughter is well raised. The clothes on her body are muslin, which is washed clean. She has embroidered a few small flowers on the hem and cuffs. Quite elegant.


    Of course, if you go to the ground and roll twice, you will be the same cat. Today, Xiyu ran to the woods and rolled for a day. Her body was quite dirty. The two of them squatted and played. It didn''t take long before Xiwei was almost there.


    After Zhang Haiyao saw it, she hurriedly picked up the child and went into the house to change clothes. From time to time, she could hear her teaching a few words like "Girls'' clothes should be clean and not rolling on the ground".


    Mother Zhou divided the mushrooms into half and gave her, "Send something to your father."


    That¡¯s okay. Li Qinghe took Xiyu out with a basket. Zhang Haiyao just saw her leave when she went out and hurriedly shouted, "Don¡¯t you eat the mushrooms you picked?"


    "Don''t eat anymore." Li Qinghe went out to Li''s house. Now Zhang Haiyao and Mei''s fall out, and they are not as mean as they were before, and get along well with her and young crops.


    When I arrived at the door of Li''s house, I saw Qian again crying at the door. Li Qinghe ignored her and opened the door directly. Not only did he not invite her in, but also closed the door with a bang.


    Liu Shi kept looking out of the room, saw her come in, rushed out, "Qinghe is back?"


    "There are some mushrooms here." Li Qinghe put the mushrooms on the table, and Li Fu came out too. He looked very happy, "I''m back?"


    After a word, he had already bent over to talk to his grandson.


    Liu''s lowered his voice, "It''s very annoying, she just kept knocking on the door outside. Your dad refused to come out. To be honest, I don''t want her to come in."


    Li Qinghe saw that she hadn''t left yet. If she ran here to cry in two or three days, Li Fu would be reluctant. If she went out to meet people, it wouldn''t sound good to spread it out. She suggested, "Get a dog."


    Liu''s eyes lit up, "There is a big one in Dashan. I''ll let him take it over in a while."


    Li Qinghe laughed, "Do you not bite? Don''t bite yourself."


    When she went out with Xiyu, who was holding a piece of candy in her hand, Qian was no longer there, and probably went home.


    After the autumn harvest, every family is actually quite relaxed, and people can be seen gathering and chatting everywhere on the road. Many people just saw the excitement, and Li Qinghe ran into many people on the way back.


    This morning, the door outside was knocked, and Li Qinghe happened to wash in the yard. After opening the door, he found a carriage coming outside. A young man of about 20 years old stood at the door. "Dare to ask you, but Zhou who planted medicinal materials? Family?"


    Li Qinghe was a little surprised, "What are you doing?"


    The planting of medicinal materials is a new thing in this town. There are many people who know about it. In particular, she also bought 40 acres of mountain forest. Not to mention the town, maybe someone in the county has heard of it.


    "That''s it. I heard that you have been planting for more than half a year, and some of the medicinal materials have been collected. We want to see the appearance of what you planted... Oh, my surname is Wu. Our family lives in the county and has a medical clinic. The home¡¯s medical clinic is not just the county seat, but several counties around here have medical clinics."


    So someone came to buy medicinal materials?


    Li Qinghe was quite surprised, and hurriedly invited them in. The people who came were not just the young man standing at the door, he also brought two old doctors.


    After entering the door, please let Chen''s tea, and together with Zhou Chengkang brought the medicinal materials that had just been processed to them. There were still a lot of medicinal materials in the forest, which she dug up and processed them.


    "These are all good," Wu Li looked at the prepared medicinal materials, "Can I go to see where your family grows medicinal materials? If possible, I will buy all of your medicinal materials in the future."


    Of course it is good.


    Wandering around in the woods, Wu Li took all the sun-dried medicinal materials at a slightly lower price than Doctor Huang had told her.


    Standing at the door, Li Qinghe watched the carriage go away and said, "Not like a doctor, but like a businessman."


    Zhou Chengkang agreed, "It doesn''t matter. If his price is too low, we will not sell it to him in the future. In this world, medicinal herbs are definitely sold."


    People get sick if they eat whole grains, and take medicine if they get sick. For example, honeysuckle notoginseng, coptis, ginseng, gastrodia elata, etc., are definitely useful. And these medicinal materials can be grown in her mountains and forests. And now it has been cultivated. There are no seeds and not many plants. After two years, they will be planted in large numbers.


    When the two entered the door, Zhou Chengkang suggested, "I think we both have to learn some pharmacology."


    Li Qinghe spread his hands, "But I don''t know how to read."


    The writing and style of the current characters are completely different from those she had known before, but if you make up your mind to learn it, it''s not difficult. Pens, inks, papers and inkstones, which are very expensive for other families, can also be bought by the two of them. They are in their early twenties, and their lives will be very long.


    Therefore, in the following days, the two of them secretly planned to find a suitable master to learn to read. In fact, the most suitable person is Doctor Huang in the town. They also wanted to learn pharmacology. If they followed him, they would do it in one step. !


    But Doctor Huang Su Rili is too busy. When I don''t talk about big events, there are many people who come to him, day and night. Even when he came to see the forest, he took the time to come back, and he had to go back to town very quickly, fearing that an emergency patient would come to him and not find him.


    He couldn''t learn from Doctor Huang. Zhou Chengkang thought secretly. Doctor Huang has a grandson. He has been learning with him for six years since he was twelve this year. The two of them ran for a trip, somehow they picked him up.


    The twelve-year-old boy is not tall and has a straight face. The medical books for the two were bought from the county bookstore. They only teach basic pharmacology, which is the most obvious to those who study medicine, but It is enough for Li Qinghe.


    The two not only studied medicine, but also learned to read characters, and brought Xiyu with them by the way. This child was brought by Zhou''s mother recently, a bit too crazy, there is nothing he dared not do, it is just right to learn to read words and grind his temper.


    The two of them were also very serious about learning Chinese characters, and they asked Chen to help.


    Therefore, when Zhou''s mother moved back again, she found that there was a young boy in her family, and her son and daughter-in-law began to read.


    "You guys can really toss." Mother Zhou said, "There are so many things every day, and I still learn to read when I get old. Isn''t this a waste of money? It would be nice to send Xiyu in two years."


    She was just talking about it, and she didn''t resist too much. She occasionally saw her son practice calligraphy and even ran over to see it. "When I was young, I didn''t have any talent, otherwise I would send you to learn to read."


    With so many children, it would be nice to be able to raise them, and they still learn to read. Zhou Chengkang knew it clearly and said with a smile, "It would be nice if you can raise us up."


    Zhou Mu didn''t know what she thought of, and she was in a daze, "Yes, I almost lost you back then."

 Chapter 107： Neighbor

    It was the first time that Zhou''s mother actively mentioned this when someone at home interrupted it before.


    "How did you lose it?" Li Qinghe was curious.


    Zhou Chengkang touched her at his feet, "Qinghe, go and see if the meal is ready? This calligraphy practice is faster than work, I''m hungry."


    Hearing that, Zhou Mu regained consciousness and smiled, "Reading hurts me. I haven''t seen those talents who are weak and easy to get sick. I have to take some good supplements. I''m fine these days. I will take Xiyu tomorrow. Go around the town and buy some meat by the way...he is still young, don''t be as serious as you are, wait two years before letting him work hard."


    After talking about it, I went out to the kitchen, and I heard her raise her voice in the room and asked, "Is the food ready?"


    Xiyu left the pen and followed.


    Li Qinghe kicked it back and glanced at him with a smile, "I''m so courageous, and dare to kick me, can''t you ask me about that?"


    Just now Zhou''s mother was just in a trance, her expression was still calm, what can''t you ask?


    "At the beginning, the eldest brother and the third brother deliberately took me out, and then they deliberately left me in the woods. The children made it like this. Comparing their hearts with each other. Parents must be uncomfortable. If you mention it now, my mother should be sad." Zhou Chengkang She squeezed her hand, "Let''s live our lives well, don''t think about it so much. What do we always mention about the past?"


    Li Qinghe snorted softly, "Didn''t I hold the injustice for you?"


    "Yes, yes, my daughter-in-law loves me." Zhou Chengkang bent over, kissed her hand, and smiled, "It''s different after reading. It''s reasonable, and there is ink fragrance in her hands."


    Rao is Li Qinghe''s thick-skinned face, and he blushes with praise. The ink fragrance is not in the hand itself, but the ink is stained on the hand. If you use your heart, you can learn quickly. But for this calligraphy, in addition to talent, you have to work hard. It''s not a matter of overnight, it''s not anxious, they just started.


    That day, I heard the quarrel next door again, and it didn¡¯t take long for Yu Yan to come back to life with embroidery. When she saw her practicing calligraphy, she smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s really like the same. The quarrel next door won¡¯t affect you.


    Li Qinghe raised his eyes to look at her, smiled, "Drink tea by myself, I''m serious."


    "The Yang family is really..." She shook her head, "Min Rui just came back from the next door. I heard that it was from the Xu family, and Xu Changxie his mother..." She shook her head, her expression hard to say, and said in a low voice, "The house next door is not Has Xu Changjie''s name been written? Just now his mother ran and said that after his second brother got married, he had to live here."


    Li Qinghe looked up in surprise, "Really?"


    This skin is thick to a certain extent.


    The house obviously belonged to the Yang family. Although it is now Xu Changjie¡¯s name, it is also owned by the young couple. She was lucky and used it as the Xu family¡¯s house.


    It''s no wonder that Mrs. Yang, who is from Jing, has to argue with her.


    In fact, the Yang family was at a disadvantage when they argued. They had completely offended many people in the village with these rounds of silver. They really wanted to fight, even if the Xu family was at a loss, no one would help the Yang family.


    At night, there was no noise next door.


    The next day there was news that the village chief was invited to reason, and then Mother Yang promised to let Xu Lao Er marry a new wife in that house, but she had to move out afterwards.


    In the afternoon, Xu Changjie¡¯s brother, Xu Changping¡¯s unopened daughter-in-law, went to Yang¡¯s house to measure the size of the wing.


    The bridegroom''s dowry preparation is indeed more furniture than the husband''s wedding room, but this amount comes to the Yang family. How can this be borrowed to get married?


    Is this Lai Xia staying long?


    The next door was arguing for a day yesterday, but it was quiet for half a day this morning and the arguing started again.


    For the next door, Li Qinghe would occasionally pay attention to it, especially after Xu Changjie moved in, the murderous enemy in the previous life, it is not so easy to think about it and throw it aside.


    Now she hasn''t hurt her, and she can''t squeeze, but seeing that they are not doing well, she feels inexplicably happy, she is such a careful person!


    In the end, Mother Yang compromised, but Yang Lanrou also angrily kicked Xu Changjie out.


    Li Qinghe would know about this because Zhou Mu suddenly remembered that she had dropped a knife in the backyard of the old house that night. Now in autumn, there will be dew in the morning, and the knife will rust when it touches the water. What a guy at work. Zhang Haiyao might not go to the backyard, nor might she be able to see it. Zhou Mu had to go back to pick it up, so she had to send her out.


    When Zhou Mu was gone, she squatted by the fish pond to watch the growth of the fish. She had sold it for one round this year, and now it has just been put in for more than a month. Just thinking about how big the New Year will be, she heard footsteps behind her.


    At this moment the sun is setting, the sky is dark, and the moon is coming out. It''s going to be dark soon. After two rounds of thieves, Li Qinghe paid special attention. Turning back on guard, he saw Xu Changjie coming over with his hand.


    In fact, she rarely saw him in her life. She didn''t see him a few times after she got married. She didn''t care about it at the moment. She didn''t have the interest to say hello to him. She continued to watch the fish. The sky is not good at the moment, but she can''t see clearly.


    "Green Lotus."


    She ignored people, but Xu Changjie called her out.


    Li Qinghe did not look back, "Something?"


    Xu Changjie walked to the pond and looked into the pond. "Your pond is a cornucopia. I heard that you sell two rounds of fish every year. Can you make a lot of money?"


    "It''s okay, enough to buy food." She said casually, knowing that she seems to have a lot of land, if there is no sweet potato, in fact, this pond really earns the most.


    She was indifferent, and Xu Changjie seemed to come to Tan Xing, "This pond is still the gift I gave you."


    But if you can bear it, the pond he bought for Xie Yin is correct, but it can''t be regarded as a gift from him?


    Rao Li Qinghe didn''t want to get entangled with him, so he emphasized, "You gave money back then, this is the land I bought myself!"


    Xu Changjie smiled slightly, "It''s all the same."


    Can this be the same?


    Li Qinghe didn''t want to talk to him, "It''s so late, what are you doing here? My pond has been a thief. You are here at this time, but it will make me misunderstand. Be careful when I report to the officer!"


    Xu Changjie did not speak, but looked at the fish in the pond. After a long while, his leisurely voice came from the moonlight, "Have you ever regretted it?"


    Although he didn''t say it clearly, Li Qinghe somehow felt that he was referring to the fact that he didn''t take the opportunity to mention the marriage.


    "Actually, I regret it. No matter how gentle and kind a girl is, she will change after getting married." He sighed leisurely, "Becoming utilitarian, caring about money, house..."


    Married with him for two years, even if he didn¡¯t get along very much, Li Qinghe took the pains to get to know him. This is indeed what he would say. Although Xu Changjie did not continue his studies, he was a bit of a scholar who did not know the fireworks. Qing Gao, it was Xu''s mother who took good care of him and didn''t make him hungry.


    Of course, he will subconsciously choose women who are good for him, such as Yu Yan, such as Yang Lanrou.


    Regardless of their beauty or family background, they can''t raise their delicate and fair skin without enough silver.


    On the side, Xu Changjie continued leisurely, "It''s a kind and gentle girl like Lan Rou who actually kicked me out for the house."


    Li Qinghe was stunned now, no wonder he was still wandering outside when it was dark, when he was driven out.


    In fact, just like what he said, Yang Lanrou is really gentle, changing someone, not only kicks him out, maybe kicks his mother out, and becomes a shrew who disrespects the elders.


    The sky is getting darker and the moon is getting brighter, Li Qinghe got up, clapped his hands and turned around, and saw Zhou Chengkang standing at the door, seeing her getting up, and smiling, "Why are you still outside after dark? Go home, hot water Okay, wash up earlier."


    Yes, go home.


    Li Qinghe smiled and walked towards him.


    Xu Changjie watched her brisk footsteps, watched the two enter the door with a whisper and laugh, and then closed the door.


    After entering the door, the hot water has entered the water room, and the father and son over there have already washed.


    When Li Qinghe washed out, she saw Zhou Chengkang standing outside the water room with arms folded. At first sight of a figure, she was shocked. After seeing the person clearly, she teased, "Why are you here? Take a peek, you''re a disciple!" He stretched out his hand and squeezed his face.


    Zhou Chengkang squeezed, and kissed her fingertips, and said solemnly, "I don''t need to take a peek, I look at it with integrity." Reached out and took the bucket in her hand, wrapped her waist, and put his head on her shoulder. , Said with a low smile in her ear, "I have to take a closer look at you, I just take a shower, someone is looking for you outside."


    In fact, it was just a joke. There was enough trust between the two, especially Zhou Chengkang knew those things and understood that she would never look back. No matter how deep the feelings were, after being poisoned by personal medicine, they probably disappeared.


    Li Qinghe gave him a glance, "It''s enough to be blind."


    "Yes." Zhou Chengkang nodded in agreement, "so your eyes opened up and you found me."


    She couldn''t help laughing, "Why are you so embarrassed to boast?"


    "Aren''t I good?" Zhou Chengkang squeezed his chin, pondered for a while, and said, "It seems that I have to be better to you."


    The two laughed and entered the door.


    There are many people who chop wood in autumn, but the firewood saved by Li Qinghe is basically useless. These days, the two of them basically don¡¯t cook. Zhou Mu and Chen both use wheat stalks to burn them first. How much was saved earlier, and how much is still there now.


    As soon as the autumn rains fell, it seemed that winter had begun. In mid-October, there was a wedding next door, and Xu Changping took back the newlyweds.

 Chapter 108： crispbread

    When they got married next door, Li Qinghe didn''t go there, so Zhou Mu went to help, and she also took the gift.


    In fact, although it was the Xu family who married, their family continued to associate with the Yang family, and many people in the village consciously alienated them. Therefore, this time the Xu family married, not as lively as before.


    Speaking of the Yang family''s lack of virtue, it took the money of the people in the village to take a lot of money, but the Xu family was not kind, taking advantage of the danger, and spending a dozen of silver on such a large blue brick yard. Who would dare to have a deep friendship with them?


    The weather was getting colder and colder, and it was snowing outside. Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe stopped going out at all. Zhou Mu didn''t live here every day, she would go home to live occasionally, but it was true that she didn''t fire herself.


    Li Qinghe doesn¡¯t care, there¡¯s no shortage of the food she eats at home. Zhang Haiyao doesn¡¯t know what she thinks. Anyway, Zhou¡¯s mother went home for dinner, she also entertained him, and occasionally added vegetables. It¡¯s said that Zhou Laosan didn¡¯t have much money. , But the food is not bad, maybe because Zhang Haiyao can''t eat whole grain buns, most of them are fine grain buns, and occasionally make white porridge.


    In the winter, Zhou''s mother went back to live there until the New Year.


    Last year, the family had a bad time during the Chinese New Year. No matter how unhappy they are, they will have to spend the New Year together this year.


    Li Qinghe went back late, and when he arrived, he found that there were two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the kitchen. She was quite surprised. It stands to reason, why shouldn''t the two of Zhou boss be here at noon?


    Seeing her coming, Zhang Haiyao sighed, "I''m here, please help me quickly."


    In fact, Zhang Haiyao is very straightforward, so let''s just say anything. If she is yin and yang weird with a gun and a stick, then she is really angry.


    "Big brother, they haven''t come yet?" Li Qinghe wouldn''t be embarrassed. The eldest husband and wife are also used to watching them. They can count the number of times they come back throughout the year.


    Mother is not willing to go to town this week. It is okay if he doesn''t serve him, but you have to come back and see?


    "No." Zhang Haiyao sneered, "Probably thought that she was like the fifth sister, so just wait to eat when you come back."


    These words successfully made Zhou Mu give her a big eye.


    Zhang Haiyao is not afraid either. She gets along with Zhou Mu, which is very different from Li Qinghe and Zhou Mu. Li Qinghe didn''t talk much, she didn''t usually say what Zhou Mu did.


    Zhang Haiyao was different. She was stubborn and was spoiled when she was at home. After marrying, Zhou Laosan also obeyed her. So outspoken, so often quarrel with Zhou Mu.


    Sometimes because of the saltiness of the cooking, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law can talk for a long time.


    The two were just quarreling with each other, in fact, no one took it to heart, otherwise Zhou Mu would not live for one or two months.


    The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are cooking in the kitchen. Today is New Year¡¯s Eve, but the weather is rare, and there is still warm sunshine outside at noon.


    Xiyu and Xiwei play in the yard and sometimes grab things, but they don''t fight.


    The rice was ready, and the couple came back while they were cooking.


    Every Chinese New Year at the Li family''s side, the New Year''s meal is eaten very early, just to make the couple return to Zhou''s family to come to the New Year after the meal.


    When the food was on the table, finally a carriage came outside. Hearing the movement, the three Zhou family brothers went out to see, Zhang Haiyao set the table and chopsticks, "Sure enough, I feel that I am a guest, so I eat when I get home."


    Zhou Mu also helped, saying to her, "New Year, don''t worry about so much."


    Zhang Haiyao didn''t speak anymore. The couple who walked in were much simpler. They were all dressed in fine cloth. There was only a wooden hairpin in Mei''s head, and there was no gold or silver all over his body. But Xili was still wearing a satin-padded jacket and a hat of the same color on her head, like a young master from a rich family.


    "I''m late." As soon as he walked in, Mr. Zhou was full of apologetics. "There are still people sitting at the restaurant today, and they ordered dozens of catties of tofu. It was only today. Usually, the restaurant buys the most tofu. Today is New Year¡¯s Eve. If I refuse, maybe this business will not be done in the future."


    Hearing his explanation, Zhou Mu''s expression eased a little, Zhang Haiyao snorted, "Eat."


    There was a large circle of people on the table. Zhou''s mother looked at the children with relief in her eyes, "You are having a good time, I''m also relieved."


    After a word, pick up the bowl to eat.


    There is no more saying that the two of Zhou Boss came back too little.


    In fact, I can''t mention it. When it comes to the past, the designation of this year is not good.


    Although the atmosphere is a bit dull, there is no quarrel, which is not bad. The children quickly ate and ran out to play, while the brothers were still drinking. Zhang Haiyao is already washing dishes in the kitchen.


    In fact, she can¡¯t be blamed for this. After eating for a while, Boss Zhou and the two may leave. If they both ran away, the pile of bowls and chopsticks belonged to her, so she wouldn''t dare to ask her mother-in-law to work?


    Besides, Wumei will come back tomorrow and have to prepare food.


    Go to the kitchen now, Qing Miao and the others will help. Li Qinghe was not lazy, and ran to prepare the dishes for tomorrow. Occasionally I looked at the children in the yard, and when she raised her eyes to look at the yard again, she was suddenly shocked, "Where is Heeley?"


    Obviously there should be four children who are not too far apart. There are only three outside at the moment, and Xili is alone. He is too recognizable. The other children are all blue clothes, and they wear round satin. His body is azure satin, which is particularly prominent among several children.


    As soon as she said, Zhou Mu was surprised and went out to find her, "I was there just now."


    After looking around in the front and back courtyards, Zhou''s mother was anxious, "Xili..."


    Hearing the cry, Mei came out of her house. They might want to live today, so they have to make the bed and clean in the house. She was also anxious when she heard Zhou¡¯s mother was looking for someone, "No, I was there just now, so Where are you going?"


    Mother Zhou shook her head, "A few children don''t know, there is no in the yard, will they run out?"


    She opened the door and looked for it on the road outside, and asked the child next door who was playing in the yard.


    I really didn''t see it.


    If the child is lost, I don¡¯t feel too anxious. After all, this is just a village, and there are usually no outsiders. There are even fewer people on the road during the New Year. Besides, every time so many children run on the road outside the New Year, no one is lost. Therefore, he is more inclined to run away by himself.


    Zhang Haiyao ran out and asked Xiwei, "Where did Xili go? Did you see it?"


    Among the children, Xiwei is the oldest. She shook her head, "Just now, Changping wanted his snare drum, but he refused and ran away."


    Chang Ping is Li Qingmiao''s child. Zhang Haiyao frowned and asked, "Do you open the door and go out?"


    Xiwei shook her head, "I didn''t see it."


    Children who don''t understand can actually believe this, but they did not hear the sound of the door opening in the house. It was also because the door was closed that they were so relieved of the children in the yard.


    A quarter of an hour later, Zhou''s mother came back panting, "No, I chased all the way on both sides."


    But the houses and yards were searched both inside and outside. Not only them, but also the brothers who were drinking inside, all came out to look for children.


    After searching for another quarter of an hour, everyone was worried, where did this child go?


    Boss Zhou looked around in and out of the yard, and ran back on the road, and said with a calm face after entering the door, "Someone happened to be basking in the sun over Murakami. I asked them, but I didn''t see Heili."


    Mother Zhou was overjoyed, "If it is true, then this child must still be in the village."


    Li Qinghe thought carefully and said, "I''m sure the door has not been opened."


    The child must still be in the yard.


    A group of people looked at each other, Zhou Boss''s suspicion fell on Zhou Chengkang, "Fourth brother, isn''t it you?"


    Li Qinghe was stunned, it was Zhou Chengkang who was taken aback to react, frowned, "What do you mean?"


    "At the time you were four years old, I know you still remember, did you..." Before he finished speaking, Zhou Mu had already slapped his face, "Are you embarrassed to mention it?"


    Boss Zhou squatted down and hugged his head and said, "Healy, I''m just this son. If I lose it, what should I do in the future? Fourth, the eldest brother used to be sorry for you, but you can''t get revenge on my son..."


    "You fart!" Li Qinghe shook Zhou Chengkang''s hand as a consolation, sneered, "Only you can remember, we forgot."


    Zhou Laosan lowered his head.


    Boss Zhou obviously didn''t believe this, "Where did Xili go? Meihua is not in good health, so I''m the only son, fourth..."


    He also mentioned that Li Qinghe was annoyed. He picked up the stool beside him and threw it away. Boss Zhou just squatted on the ground. The stool went away very quickly. He only had time to raise his hand to block it and hit his arm.


    Mei''s dissatisfaction, stepped forward to protect, staring at Li Qinghe, "Why do you do it?"


    "Then you even touched your upper and lower lips, you wronged us for stealing the child." Li Qinghe was so angry, "If the child is lost, don''t hurry to find it. Instead, let us hand it over to you here. We will come back several times a year. It''s not as familiar as you guys are."


    "No matter how ruthless our husband and wife are, we will not do anything to our children for our own selfishness. Only people like you who deliberately lost children will think so. What you can do doesn''t mean we will do it too!"


    Her voice was cold, the words fell, and the yard was quieter.


    Even a few children dare not speak anymore. Boss Zhou lowered his head deeper, as if he could not bear it, Old San Zhou turned to the backyard and kept shouting, "Heili..."


    He went looking for a child.


    After a few breaths, he suddenly heard a surprised voice, "Healy, here."


    Everyone rushed over, but Li Qinghe didn''t go, bent down and picked up Xiyu, pulled Zhou Chengkang''s sleeve and went out and went home.


    There was Zhou''s mother calling her voice behind her. She did not look back, nor did Zhou Chengkang.


    What happened today cannot be said to be wrong.


    Walking on the road, Zhou Chengkang reached out to take Xiyu and patted her on the back, "Don''t be angry."


    Li Qinghe shook his head, "I''m not angry. I still have to talk to my mother about this matter. In the future, don''t get together like this. What a good day, we have been married for the past few years, and we have had a good year. Every year we get together. Together, everyone is not happy."


    "If my mother really wants to reunite, we will go back again when the fifth sister comes back on the first day of the first day of the new year. We will have a meal with the fifth sister." They are guests and quarreling in front of the guests is very rude even at the farmhouse.


    If a married girl rarely quarrels between her natal brothers, it will inevitably make people feel that this girl is not valued, and her in-laws will look down a bit. So, even if everyone was unhappy last year, they barely fooled around when Wumei came.


    Do this in the future.


    "Good." Zhou Chengkang persuaded in a low voice, "Don''t be angry. I didn''t expect him to think I would retaliate against him."


    Li Qinghe sneered, "He was ashamed to mention that, we didn''t even ask him to settle accounts."

 Chapter 109： Refuse

    This kind of thing happened during the Chinese New Year. It really affects people''s mood.


    When they returned home, there were only three of them. The Yu family and his wife went home for the New Year.


    "Hungry? Do you want to cook noodles?" Zhou Chengkang asked with a smile.


    When you are in a bad mood, you will feel better after eating delicious food. But now the two were not hungry at all after eating the New Year''s dinner there, and even Zhou Chengkang was still drinking before the quarrel.


    "Not hungry." Li Qinghe shook his head.


    Zhou Chengkang took her to the kitchen, "I''m not hungry now, I will definitely be hungry when the noodles are made."


    Also, making noodles is not a little time.


    Li Qinghe brought Xiyu to the fire. At this moment, the sun was about to set, and the room was a bit cold. It didn''t feel like it was burning in front of the stove. The mother and son watched Zhou Chengkang kneading dough in front of the stove.


    The family talked occasionally. When the noodles were ready, it was getting dark outside. A family of three sat in a warm room. There was meat on the surface specially fried by Li Qinghe. It smelled very fragrant and looked quite good Appetite, the three people whisper and laugh from time to time, and the atmosphere is warm.


    I was eating happily when someone knocked on the door outside. Zhou Chengkang got up, but Li Qinghe held him down, "I''ll go."


    When I opened the door, it turned out that it was Zhou''s family, and guessed that Zhou Laohui came to apologize.


    "Qinghe, what are you doing? Don''t open the door for a long time?" Zhou''s mother said, she was about to enter.


    Li Qinghe stopped, "We are having dinner."


    Mei smiled forward, "We haven''t eaten yet."


    Take the initiative to speak, it means to be soft.


    She is willing to be soft, but why does Li Qinghe want to continue?


    "It''s not very convenient to celebrate the New Year today. If you have anything to say another day." After she said, she raised her hand to close the door.


    "Hey, what do you mean?" Mei stepped forward, "It''s all a family, and we don''t make dinner for us. The family doesn''t care about this. But why don''t we let us in?"


    "Why not let you in?" Li Qinghe sneered, "Don''t you know? Others can enter after today, but you, my family will not welcome you in this life."


    "Qinghe, they are all a family. Your eldest brother is indeed anxious and said something unpleasant, but it''s not because the child lost him in anxiousness, don''t worry about it, I specially brought them over and let your elder brother Sister-in-law apologizes to you." The smile on Zhou''s mother''s face was a little flattering, and Li Qinghe felt a little sour, but this time she didn''t intend to give in, as she still blocked the door, "Mother, if you have anything to say later. Having dinner, I don¡¯t want to make everyone feel uncomfortable every year during the New Year."


    After speaking, he raised his hand and closed the door.


    The door was closed, and Mei''s voice was heard outside, "It''s too shameful, how can I shut my mother out?"


    Li Qinghe picked up the broom next to him, opened the door violently, and hit Mei, "I''m shameless, you are still shameless, because you have a bad New Year every year, I don''t know it!"


    The broom was originally on the ground. Although it was dry, there was a lot of ash on it.


    Mei screamed, Li Qinghe took a few shots and stopped, and looked at Boss Zhou who hadn''t spoken from start to finish at the door, "Don''t say I''m too much. You guys are too much too. I''m going to spend a good year who provokes someone? "


    She eased her tone and looked at Mother Zhou, "If mother is willing to stay, you can come in. Don''t let us celebrate the New Year together next year. I used to let you make noise, but from now on I have no plans to endure it. , The year is definitely not good."


    "The ugliness is at the forefront. You can come in if you want, but don''t say good things about the big brother. I want us to love each other with the big brother."


    Mother Zhou was a little annoyed, "You kid, why are you so stubborn?"


    Li Qinghe asked back, "Can I fight the injustice for my man? A four-year-old child throws it into the old forest. Not to mention a wolf, even a fall is enough." She looked at Boss Zhou, "We didn''t forget. Speaking of this, the eldest brother still remembers, this can be regarded as a murderous enemy, right? It''s all like this, how can you communicate?"


    Zhang Haiyao followed, gloating with misfortune, "I''ll just tell you God, you have to come today. Who is not angry with this kind of thing? It''s normal if you can''t get in!"


    Li Qingmiao also hid behind, not showing up or talking.


    Boss Zhou looked ugly, "The fourth child, I will explain to him personally. If we don''t make things clear today, everyone will have lumps in their hearts in this life."


    "It''s late." Li Qinghe said seriously, "Since you dared to do that, in fact, you already have lumps. From now on, let''s be ordinary relatives."


    After speaking, he raised his hand and closed the door.


    New Year''s Eve, unless they are very close, those who can be regarded as a family will celebrate the New Year together. They... Let''s keep them out.


    Back in the room, the father and son both raised their eyes to look at her, Zhou Chengkang sat down with her. Although she shut her brother out, he knew that it was all for him.


    He comforted in a low voice, "Qinghe, don''t be angry. Actually I really forgot."


    "Don''t talk about it," Li Qinghe took away the bowls and chopsticks. "Momo, we practice calligraphy."


    The next morning, there was another knock on the door outside early in the morning. Li Qinghe couldn''t open his eyes when he slept late last night. Zhou Chengkang next to him went to open the door, but quickly came back to lie down with her.


    Li Qinghe closed his eyes and asked, "Who is knocking on the door so early outside?"


    Zhou Chengkang hugged her with a cool embrace, "It''s cold outside, no one, go to sleep."


    On the first day of the junior high school, they were going back to their parents'' home, and the two of them didn''t sleep long.


    When they arrived, Lanhua and Lanhua had already returned, and they had dinner soon.


    Li Fu was very happy, especially the two sons-in-laws were very concerned about him. They did not help with the work, and it was good for his daughter, especially Zhou Chengkang. The day was getting better and better. After the daughter was married, he didn''t need to worry about him.


    The villagers still knew what happened to Zhou''s house yesterday. They all knew that Zhou''s eldest child had disappeared. It took a long time to find it.


    Li Fu smiled and asked, "Where did the kid hide yesterday?"


    Yesterday I heard that I found the children and went home. Without asking where the children were hiding, Zhou Chengkang casually said, "The children are playful, so they came out by themselves."


    Li Fubie also just asked casually, and also took out the wine and let the two sons-in-law drink with him.


    After drinking this drink into the afternoon, Liu asked in a low voice, "Qinghe, is Wumei coming back?"


    "Probably." Li Qinghe helped wash the dishes, not in a hurry at all.


    Seriously speaking, the first day of the new year is indeed the day when the married girl returns to her natal family, but Zhou''s family has been separated, and the fifth sister should prepare four gifts when she returns to her family.


    As a result, I prepared a copy last year and returned to Zhou''s house. In fact, this is also possible, only Zhou Mu has it, and it makes sense that a few brothers don''t. But Li Qinghe didn''t want to get involved with them anymore, there were too many people. In the future, if Wumei is willing to interact with her fourth brother, she will come to her door.


    Seeing that she was not in a hurry, Liu did not ask much.


    There are no other relatives in Zhao Dashan''s family, and he would have stayed here until dark before returning. Last year, Li Qinghe''s family left a long time ago, but this year they stayed until the afternoon, but they still didn''t leave.


    There was a knock on the door outside the door. In a day like today, even neighbors would not come here easily.


    Lanhua went to open the door, and then brought in Li Qingmiao.


    Li Qingmiao came to look for them specially, and whispered, "Fifth Sister is here, mother asked me to come and go back quickly."


    Li Qinghe pointed to the hall, "I''m still drinking here and can''t go back."


    "Are you really angry?" Li Qingmiao pulled her aside and whispered, "Big brother and they are not good, but the mother is very good, and she is an elder, who is a Chinese New Year. You don''t have to be so stiff to make the old man feel unhappy. ."


    If Zhou''s mother is happy, she has to feel wronged. Li Qinghe will give in to some people, such as Zhou''s mother, but she doesn''t let her make arrangements without a bottom line.


    Li Qinghe said frankly, "I didn''t do anything wrong. If she is not happy, I can''t help it." Looking at the person in front of her, it''s not just her second wife, they often played together when they were young. She lowered her voice. "I don''t want to get involved with my eldest brother anymore. When they were thieves, we ran and ran to help. The result?"


    Mei Shifei said that the thief was because they let Zhao Tianfu off. No one mentioned it in this meeting, but it didn''t mean that Li Qinghe had no idea in his heart.


    Others don''t know these things, but my family knows them, and there was a lot of quarrel that time. Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe turned their heads and left without saying anything afterwards.


    Li Qinghe whispered, "If it weren''t for he is the eldest brother, we would never interact with him."


    "All right." Seeing the persuasion, Li Qingmiao didn''t force it. "I have to go back. I''m different from you. Your second brother is barely half a married girl..." She thought for a while, "In the afternoon, we Go to your house again."


    This meant that he wanted to come to the door with a New Year gift, Li Qinghe couldn''t help but smile, "We are so close, so there is no trouble, right?"


    Li Qingmiao also laughed, "That won''t happen, the feelings are coming out. Remember to go back to cook, we have to treat us to a good meal."


    This is a joke.


    After sending off Li Qingmiao, Liu asked in a low voice, "Did the Zhou family quarrel yesterday?"


    "That''s it." Li Qinghe nodded.


    Since the young crops over there are going to the door, they shouldn''t stay longer. The two left home and started preparing meals.


    As a result, not only the Qingmiao family, but also the fifth sister with children.


    The child is not yet one year old, and it is time for trouble. There were a few children, and the atmosphere was very good. During the period, five sisters wanted to say something and stopped, but they were all torn off by Zhao Liyuan. Once she spoke and was interrupted by him.


    It can be seen that Zhao Liyuan would not allow her to mix with her natal brothers.


    In fact, no one talks a lot about this kind of thing. The grievances between Zhou Chengkang and his elder brother are awkward. If it is not a brother, it will be a lifelong relationship.


    At night, the two of them were sent away without mentioning what happened yesterday.


    The weather was good this year, and there was sunshine on the morning of the second grade. The two of them took their children to the field. Not only them, but most of the people in the village started to go to the land. Mainly, they still looked at Li Qinghe''s land. Although there are many people invited, as long as they start to work, they can make a lot of work for several days. At least meat can eat a few catties.


    Therefore, when Zhou''s mother came, there was no one in the family, and I went around to the ground behind the house and saw a family of three. She smiled and stepped forward, "I still said where did the people go? You are holding on tight, but you can''t do it all by yourself.


    "Whatever you do, count as much." Zhou Chengkang said casually. She didn''t ask her why.

 Chapter 110： grandson

    Li Qinghe didn''t mean to ask, his attitude was much colder than before.


    Seeing this, Zhou''s mother was a little embarrassed and smiled and said, "Qinghe is angry with me"


    Li Qinghe straightened up and beat his waist, "No."


    "That''s good, you didn''t let us in yesterday, it looked like you were angry." She sighed, "We are all a family. It''s better to explain things face to face. What happened yesterday is indeed your brother¡¯s fault. But people have a time when they are in a hurry, and what they say when they are in a hurry cannot be taken seriously. Are you right?"


    "Yes." Li Qinghe did not refute, "but I told you yesterday that you can come in, and if you want to live there for a long time, I won''t push you, but one thing is that I want us to continue to love each other. Impossible. In the future, you should not say that he is good in front of us. I am upset when I hear it. I am a person who has a lot of time to talk, but once I decide who I don¡¯t want to talk to, it¡¯s useless for anyone to say.¡±


    Seeing her indifferent attitude, Zhou''s mother was a little anxious, "No, it''s all a family. How can there be so many right and wrong? Your eldest brother and sister-in-law really knew that they were wrong. In order to apologize to you, they had to leave yesterday. You didn''t let them in, and stayed one more night last night."


    "I don''t mean that they are right. I don''t want you to have a good relationship, but you are always brothers and should take care of each other." She looked at Zhou Chengkang, "Chengkang, what do you say?"


    Zhou Chengkang raised his eyes to look at her, "Qinghe means what I mean, mother, don''t talk about this anymore, you talk too much, you think I am disobedient, I think you are unclear, and it is not good for us all."


    After a pause, he said, "If you don''t say anything, I will open the door now and you will enter the house. If you want to say something, you''d better go back and live with the third brother to be more comfortable."


    Mother Zhou''s complexion changed slightly. After listening to this, she no longer had a chance, and sighed, "I will let your eldest brother and them go back in a while, and think about yourself..."


    Li Qinghe couldn''t hear this, and said directly, "What do we need to think?"


    "You let us go back to celebrate the New Year. Do you think that the past few years have been good? I won''t talk about the previous things. I don''t think I was wrong. I should think more about it than us. The fifth sister is already married. There is no need to celebrate the New Year together. If you make arrangements like this next year, we will not go. It was a happy thing for the New Year¡¯s Eve, but the marriage has been troublesome for the past few years and it¡¯s too annoying."


    Zhou Mu didn''t expect that she could say so many words without mercy by just a few words. This was completely different from her gentle temperament before. It should be said that she had never been so rude.


    It was also at this time that she also knew that this youngest daughter-in-law was also choking, or that she was a bit ignorant after touching her bottom line.


    Seeing Zhou''s mother leaving, Li Qinghe asked in a low voice, "Do you think I don''t respect your mother enough?"


    "No." Zhou Chengkang smiled, "You are already fine. She will figure it out."


    Yes, Zhou''s mother is an enlightened mother-in-law, and now she may only want to persuade her if she can''t accept the antagonism between her sons.


    In the afternoon that day, the coach of Zhou''s boss returned to the town, and the villagers began to plow in spring.


    Busy, until March, all the land in Li Qinghe¡¯s home was considered to have been planted, and then, Wu Li sent her a batch of medicinal seeds, which were planted in various places. Vines can be planted in the woods. So, after the spring ploughing, Li Qinghe asked the people who helped him to go to the forest to do a few days.


    It was also at this time that the two suddenly felt that they could still go to the old forest, because they had been learning the pharmacology for a while. Some medicinal materials should be checked with their own eyes. The branches, leaves and roots are all What kind of place it should grow, such as dampness, depends on whether it is the dampness near the water or the dampness under the shade of the trees.


    So, after the spring ploughing, the two packed up their dry food and asked the Yu Ermo and his wife to take care of the house. They took the Xiyu family into the woods and went out early and returned late every day, not to mention outsiders, it was Yu Ermo who lived with them. Husbands and wives do not have time to get along with them.


    On this day, the two returned at night again. Before they approached the door, they saw everyone standing outside the door, who was actually Li Fu. Although Zhou Chengkang did not go to help him this year, the two were still divided. Two people went to help him for two days, which is considered a help.


    "Father, why are you here?" Li Qinghe was quite surprised, mainly because it was dark at this time.


    Li Fu saw the people approaching, especially Xiyu. He saw that he was not only messy, but in good spirits. He was slightly at ease. Hearing the question from his daughter, he didn''t have a good air, "Don¡¯t wait until this time, I see No one to see."


    Hearing that, Li Qinghe was a little guilty, "It is indeed a bit late to come back today. If you have something, you can tell them, or leave a message with them, and let us wait for you at home."


    As he said, he invited him in, then looked at Chen on the side, "Why don''t I let my father in?"


    Chen hadn''t spoken yet, Li Fu had already said, "It''s none of her business, I am waiting for you outside."


    After entering the door, Zhou Chengkang took Xiyu to wash up. Before leaving in the morning, he had instructed Chen to prepare the food and prepare hot water. Here Li Qinghe took him in, "Father, what''s the matter with you?" Have to wait so long.


    Li Fu looked at the water room and asked in a low voice, "Did you quarrel with your mother-in-law?"


    "Why do you say that? Did you listen to what others said?" Li Qinghe was curious. Although a little unpleasant, except for the Zhou family and the Wumei couple, no one outside should know.


    Zhou''s mother herself is not a talkative person.


    Li Fu sighed, "Do you still use someone else to say it? Last year, your mother-in-law stayed here for so long, but this year is all over and you can''t come. The main reason is that you two brought your older children into the woods. This is not good."


    Li Qinghe was dumbfounded. Most of the elderly in the village believed that children could not enter the woods, and thought that there would be bad things that would easily scare the children, and then they would get sick when they came back.


    But the two of them don¡¯t think. Besides, they don¡¯t think that the child has to be taken by Zhou¡¯s mother. It¡¯s good for him to take him into the woods by himself. It¡¯s March, it¡¯s not lukewarm. At that time, it''s good for children to go out more.


    He looked outside again, and asked in a low voice, "You tell me honestly, did you have trouble with your mother-in-law? Is Chengkang upset over there?"


    "No." Li Qinghe sighed, "Don''t worry about so much, just live well by yourself."


    Li Fu nodded, "Then, Xiyu will take me home, and I will help you to watch it. I have to say that I have this grandson. I haven''t seen him for many days. It''s weird. Why don''t I pick him up today? I will send it back to you in the next day?


    Having said this for a long time, isn''t this his ultimate goal?


    Li Fuqing coughed at the suspicious look in his daughter''s eyes, "I have been busy for a few months, and finally got free, but Xiyu has a grandson, can''t it be taken home for a few days?"


    OK, why not.


    Zhou Chengkang washed the child over there, and Li Fu took him with him after he went out. When he left, both grandparents and grandchildren were very happy.


    The children were sent away, and their lives remained the same. They even went earlier and came back later because they did not bring the children.


    Two days later, when the two came back, they saw another person waiting at the door. This time it was Zhou Mu. This is the first time she has come to the door since she left unhappy last time.


    "I''m back? You should come back earlier. You won''t be able to see it anymore. It''s not easy to walk at night. What''s wrong with a fall?" Zhou mother babbled, feeling that she talked a little after she finished speaking. Yu Guang glanced at Li Qinghe several times At the second time, seeing that she didn''t mean to be angry, she felt relieved.


    This time, Zhou Chengkang spoke with her while Li Qinghe went to wash.


    After I came back, I heard Zhou¡¯s mother say, "Qinghe, I just told the fourth child, now Xiyu is on your father¡¯s side, will it be inconvenient?" I didn¡¯t wait for her to answer, and continued, "Is it my grandfather? In addition, there is also a Liu family over there. After a long time, she will inevitably find it troublesome and the children are also noisy. Of course, her family will look better, but others may not... why should I take it over and stay for a few days?"


    Li Qinghe looked at Zhou Chengkang, and he said, "I mean, if my mother wants to have a child, she will live here. After all, the third brother is now living there. One or two days will be fine. It is not good for a long time."


    Li Qinghe nodded in agreement, especially after the words of Boss Zhou, it can be seen that they have not forgotten those things, it is related to the children, and everyone should pay attention.


    Mother Zhou was a little sad, but she nodded and said, "If your father doesn''t want to take it, I will move in."


    On Li Fu¡¯s side, he didn¡¯t want to take children at all. The grandfather and grandchildren had fun all day long and were reluctant to think about it. Li Qinghe went to pick him up the next morning, but they never came back. Liu was also very happy. .


    Nowadays, many people in the village have nothing to do. Seeing the couple go to the woods every day to collect medicine, many people are also doing the same. Because Li Qinghe asked them to come and help earlier, many people knew the medicine, but Not just a few. At present, most of the medicinal materials in Wangcun have not been picked. Even if they don''t know a few, they can always find some. Many people have dried medicinal materials, although not many.


    It is worth mentioning that the Yang family next door started to invite people again. This time they asked people to dig fish ponds, and they wanted to raise fish.


    Yu Yan came to tell her about this matter.


    "Now in the town, your two families are already selling a lot of fish, and they don''t usually sell it at all. Now they are here again..."


    This one doesn''t matter, it''s a big deal, it''s sent to the county seat, as much as it can be sold over there. Besides, most of their thoughts are now in the woods. The fish pond was only a lot of thought at the beginning, but then they didn¡¯t pay much attention. They fixed the fry twice a year and didn¡¯t put too much in it. The past few years have been smooth. Yes, it did make a lot of money. But if it is practical, it should earn more.


    However, Yu Yan''s thoughts are rare. Li Qinghe thanked him and said these words again.


    Yu Yan waved her hand, "It¡¯s just a bit uncomfortable. If there is a fish pond, I won¡¯t talk about them after it¡¯s set up to raise fish. There is no fish pond or even a paddy field. It¡¯s a bit too much. Deliberately. Obviously, watching your family make money and deliberately follow you to learn. Living in the village, you are originally a farmer, so you can¡¯t do something."

 Chapter 111： Abandoned woman

    It''s okay to do other things, but people just focus on raising fish, and no one can say that they must not be raised.


    Yu Yan also understands this truth, but because of this, it makes people feel more aggrieved.


    "Don''t be angry." Li Qinghe said with a smile looking at her angrily, "I don''t live on fish ponds either."


    Yu Yan glared at her, "I''m not angry, I just feel bad for you."


    The two looked at each other, and then couldn''t help laughing.


    No matter what the people in the village think, the fish pond of Yang''s family was dug out anyway, and it was about the same size as Li Qinghe''s. It is worth mentioning that because their fish pond has no water source, the water needs to be led by the small river in the village.


    The small river in the village has never been done since the village. It was as dry as the previous two years, and the neighboring towns and county towns suffered from droughts. The village has a good harvest because of the river.


    In April, the Yang family went to the county seat and bought five hundred fry and put them in. If it went well, they could sell fish once a year ago.


    The people in the village originally watched the movement of Zhou''s family. Who is the normal person who can''t be angry when encountering such things? But Li Qinghe and his wife were quite indifferent. Not to mention them, even the Zhou family and Li Fu were unresponsive. Not to mention the trouble of finding the Yang family, but they didn''t even talk to others about the Yang family.


    Over time, the villagers stopped paying attention, but they all accepted that the Yang family also had a fish pond. However, there are still not many people who interact with their family.


    The two spent two months in the woods, and the weather gradually became hot, and they were not going to go. These days, the two of them were not only gathering herbs, but also hunting by the way. Li Qinghe himself also made some fresh bamboo shoots to pickle them. During this time, Xiyu has been living in Li''s house and occasionally comes back for one night.


    Since I decided not to go to the woods, I had to pick up the child. When Li Qinghe arrived, he happened to see Xiyu covering his eyes in the yard, and asked, "Master, have you hidden yet?"


    Calling Li Fu not grandpa but grandpa is considered Li Fu''s own selfishness, but no one cares about it with him. Standing outside the yard, he saw Li Fu slip into the hall, and said, "Okay." He glanced at the window and quickly retracted, then took another look...


    Xiyu let go and walked directly in. It happened that Liu came out with grain, "Mother-in-law, I found you."


    Liu Shi also smiled and reached out to touch his head, "Yes, Xiyu is really amazing."


    Li Qinghe smiled knowingly, opened the courtyard door and stepped in. Xiyu didn''t see her, and went straight in to find Li Fu. But the Liu family saw her at a glance, and smiled, "Qinghe is back? Xiyu has been talking about you for the past two days, and I said I will send him back tonight."


    "Trouble Aunt Liu."


    Liu didn''t take it seriously, "No, there are many children in the house, otherwise it''s just me and your father, and they don''t talk much. You sit down and I''ll make tea for you."


    She still likes Xiyu. I heard that Lanhua is pregnant. Now she is helping to bring Xiyu. Maybe she is thinking that Li Fu will be like her when helping the child with orchid. Not only is she not unhappy, but also Help.


    Originally, Zhao Dashan didn''t even have a close relative over there, and the children could only bring them by themselves, and there were always times when they needed help.


    Zhao Dashan''s treatment of Li Fu is no worse than Zhou Chengkang''s son-in-law, but he didn''t refuse anything. Sometimes people don¡¯t have to have a blood relationship to get along well, as long as they have the heart, they can get along.


    Seeing Li Qinghe, Xiyu was so happy that she ran out of the room, "Mother!"


    "Do you miss me?" Li Qinghe stooped to hug him, rubbing his face against his small face.


    Xiyu was serious and wiped the saliva from her face, "I thought about it."


    Li Fu came out of the door, looked up and down, and sighed, "It''s all tanned, don''t go, girl''s house, you still have to pay attention."


    Is this because she doesn''t look good when she is tanned, and she is afraid that Zhou Chengkang will be out of mind?


    She stayed at home for half a day, and the Liu family invited her to dinner.


    When I went back in the afternoon, I found that Zhou''s mother was already there. Seeing Xiyu, she happily greeted her and reached out to take it, "My dear grandson is home."


    Some time ago, although Zhou''s mother came over and said that she wanted to pick Xiyu back to live, or she came to live, but Li Fu didn''t let anyone go there. She picked up two times and didn''t receive it. She was originally her relatives, and they didn''t let her go. Can''t.


    It was also at this time that Li Qinghe discovered that there was another person in the family who was not very familiar with him. It seemed that he was the daughter of his aunt He, who was regarded as Zhou Chengkang''s cousin.


    At this time, he was a little haggard, his face was sad, and his eyes were blue and dark, and he still didn''t sleep well.


    "Cousin is here?" Li Qinghe stepped forward to say hello.


    He Yu smiled reluctantly.


    Li Qinghe was suspicious, who went to another place to cry with grief, but it was Zhou Chengkang''s cousin who brought him here, she still gave this face, and smiled, "Did the cousin eat?"


    He Yu hadn''t spoken yet, Zhou Mu had already smiled, "No, I''ll take her out to relax, so I''ll take her back."


    Zhou Mu was sincere and didn''t see her outside, but everyone said that she hadn''t eaten, so she could really just send her away?


    Li Qinghe smiled and went into the kitchen. In the morning, the Chens got up in the middle of the night to prepare them with the dry food buns that went up the mountain to warm them up, and then they fry the vegetables casually and put them out and set them out.


    I also ate a little with Zhou Mu and He Yu. As for Zhou Chengkang, he went to clean the cellar behind, but he didn''t come out at all.


    I was eating here, and someone knocked at the door.


    Opening the door, the person at the door was surprised, it was Zhang Haiyao.


    Li Qinghe was about to ask her, but was pulled out by her, and by the way, he brought her to the door.


    Zhang Haiyao took her to the other side of the wall before whispering, "Is that cousin in your house?"


    ,


    Seeing her mysterious, Li Qinghe also lowered her voice subconsciously, "Yes, what''s wrong?"


    Zhang Haiyao''s expression was difficult to say, "You two run up the mountain every day, and there are some things that you don''t know. This cousin has been living in my house for two or three days. She... was retired and went home. My mother said that she was taken to relax. My aunt never liked it. Me, but she was not wicked towards the Zhou family, so I treated her as a guest. But how did I know that this cousin would have thoughts about your third brother." Her eyes were full of anger, "I have been more than once. Seeing her surrounding your third brother asking about this, he was growing vegetables in the backyard, and she was still talking with him. Yesterday afternoon, I went to the back to send water and heard her say what Sansao is lazy, ask your third brother No hard work..."


    "I''m really lazy, I don''t know how to do a lot of work, but he knew it before I got married." Zhang Haiyao became more and more angry when he said, "These words must be told to her by my aunt. If my aunt, an elder, say that to me I admit it, she is a cousin, why do you say that?"


    Li Qinghe has a subtle expression on her face. This... it seems that it''s not just worrying about the hard work of the third brother. Normal women don''t talk like that at all.


    Seeing her expression, Zhang Haiyao raised her eyebrows, "Look, it''s not just me who thinks that way? When these words are said, it is clear that she wants to replace it!"


    "It''s his cousin. At that time, I held back, thinking about taking the time to talk to my mother and let her go back. I got up late today, and they are no longer there. If you ask, you will know that you haven''t gone out today, probably to your house. coming."


    "What do you do now? Are you going in?" Li Qinghe asked in a low voice.


    Zhang Haiyao shook her head, "No. I''m here to tell you this, just to make you pay attention. You have to be careful."


    Well, Zhou Chengkang has never come out, and he is still digging out the cellar behind.


    After hearing these words, Li Qinghe didn''t go to the main room anymore. It was not rude to have Zhou''s mother with her, she also went to the cellar to help.


    The cellar is used to store sweet potatoes. It will be used in two months, so it¡¯s better to vacate it earlier.


    When the two were working, He Yu came and squatted at the door of the cellar, "Chengkang is really diligent. He hasn''t eaten since he woke up in the morning. Do you want to eat first before doing it? The same is true for Qinghe, just work, no I want you to eat."


    In the last sentence, the tone is the kind of half-true joke.


    Li Qinghe was immediately unhappy, "My man wants you to control?"


    Unceremoniously directly pierced her yin and yang strangeness.


    When these words came out, the atmosphere became a bit embarrassing. Zhou''s mother looked at her in surprise, and she didn''t understand why the daughter-in-law who had just laughed and cooked for them suddenly became so sharp?


    Busily smiled and rounded off, "Qinghe, don''t talk like that, your cousin is in a bad mood recently..."


    Li Qinghe said seriously, "Mother, if you are okay, go and pull the weeds in the field, and don''t mix with other people''s affairs."


    "What do you kid say?" Mother Zhou was a little annoyed. "Your aunt used to help our family a lot. I will take your cousin to relax. What can''t you do?"


    What she was upset was that Li Qinghe clearly said that He''s family was an outsider, but for Zhou Mu, He''s family was her natal family, and He Yu was her niece. The daughter-in-law obviously dislikes her niece, does she also dislike her?


    "It''s okay to relax," Li Qinghe nodded, "Mother, then don''t find me uncomfortable, take it away!" He waved his hand.


    Mother Zhou''s tears came down immediately, "I''m leaving."


    She has a stiff personality, and she turned around and left, He Yu stretched out her hand to hold her, and smiled reluctantly, "It''s all a family, why bother with this? If there is a misunderstanding, just make it clear..."


    Li Qinghe threw the broom in her hand in front of her, "My mother-in-law and my family, who are you? Who are you with your family? Didn''t you see that this is all because of you today? Not counted?"


    He Yu''s face flushed.


    Mother Zhou frowned, and carefully recalled the words He Yu said. If they were between cousins ??who were closer, those words would indeed be a joke. but¡­¡­


    What Li Qinghe is annoyed about is what people call between cousins ??and cousins. They are all cousins ??and cousins. She is not good. Chengkang came up and called her Qinghe. What happened to her cousins?


    Zhou Mu finally reacted, stretched out her hand to pull He Yu and left, "Today you will go home for me, I also said that you are sad, you are sad, this is too much thought."


    He Yu was dragged away by her, her face pale, "Auntie, didn''t you say you like me the most?"


    "I like you because you are my niece, and you stay here because your mother helped me a lot. But you didn''t let you provoke my son''s daughter-in-law''s feelings." Zhou''s mother was so angry, she pulled her out of the backyard quickly , There was a faintly angrily reprimanding voice, "No matter how much I like you, I never let you be my daughter-in-law..."

 Chapter 112： foreign

    Listening to the voice drifting away, Li Qinghe looked at Zhou Chengkang in the cellar and asked, "Is your mother too lonely lately?" Even her niece and niece can be brought over to raise her.


    Zhou Chengkang shook his head and laughed, "It''s okay. If anyone wants to prevent us from having a good life, she will kick people out first."


    Hearing this, Li Qinghe felt very positive, seeing that Zhou Mu''s posture was indeed like this, "Am I being a bit rude to your mother?"


    Zhou Chengkang was covered in gray, got out of the cellar, reached out and hugged her, "I''m actually very happy to see you care about me so much."


    Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "All the land in this family is under my name, so you dare not behave."


    "Yes." Zhou Chengkang nodded in agreement, "I dare not behave, what is your order?"


    Li Qinghe pulled him to the front yard, "Going to eat, I ate too early in the morning."


    In June, the weather got hotter and hotter. Wu Li visited again and took some medicinal materials. I heard that when he passed the village entrance when he was going back, someone stopped his carriage and wanted to sell him some medicinal materials. Wu Li confiscated, saying that it was too little, unless it was rare medicinal materials, otherwise he didn''t want it.


    In fact, what rare medicinal materials should be found on the surrounding mountains was also found by Li Qinghe and the two of them. They both stepped on the surrounding hills, and some medicinal materials were easy to produce more than once. The two of them had studied pharmacology, and they knew more medicinal materials than the villagers. Some things that the villagers seemed to be weeds were also picked up by them.


    Wu Li refused to accept it, so the villagers had to take it to the town and send it to several medical clinics. It was surprising and the price was good. The medicinal materials are more expensive than food, but not much.


    Then, more and more people went to the mountain after June. Even some large bark can be used as medicinal materials, even the tree is moved home directly, and the unsold trunk is used as firewood.


    The surrounding forest was stepped on by everyone like this, and there were doctors in the town who could gather medicine by themselves, but they didn''t even look at the village.


    Upon seeing this, the villagers reacted swiftly, and many daughters-in-law went back to the mountain on the other side of their natal family to pick them, so the whole mountain in Luoyue Town was quickly smashed. Fortunately, Wu Li didn''t accept their medicinal materials, and all the medicinal materials collected from the surroundings were eventually sold to the town. Otherwise, the ordinary medicinal materials that the town needs could only be bought in the county.


    Li Qinghe and the two did not go again, but went to pull grass or something in their own woods. They have collected all the medicinal materials that can keep their own seeds.


    And, when the sun was at its highest in mid-June, they went to town again and took Dr. Huang''s grandson over, and the two began to practice calligraphy again.


    In fact, after more land, the two did not want to go to the autumn harvest by themselves. I was so exhausted that I couldn''t do much, so I bought all the harvest from the fish pond outside.


    When the autumn harvest comes, other families are busy or preparing for the autumn harvest. This year seems to be another good year, and the atmosphere in the village is good. In fact, many people are staring at Li Qinghe''s land, helping her after finishing their work, and earning a lot of money every year.


    The most important thing is that she pays her wages easily, not the kind of procrastination of the Yang family. This time the Yang family digs fish ponds. They are all people from the Xu family''s family that Xu''s mother found. Otherwise, even if the salary is high, no one is willing to go.


    The autumn harvest is very busy, regardless of day and night. When the work is over, the grain is in the warehouse, it is already mid-August.


    The two did not go hunting in the mountains this time, because after the autumn, many medicinal seeds were recovered and Wu Li sent them again. Moreover, the medicinal materials are not food. You only need to plant them without dying.


    Therefore, even if the autumn harvest is over, their family still needs a few people to help.


    Li Fuqiu has been helping here after the harvest. There is also Zhao Dashan. Orchid is pregnant and can''t do much work, so he can help Li Qinghe take care of the house. All he needs is food, no money.


    She said no, not because she didn''t accept it, but she didn''t accept it.


    A few days ago, after the autumn harvest, Li Qinghe had to pay her some wages. As a result, people turned around and made some clothes for Xiyu.


    Looking at the clothes, Li Qinghe felt complicated. Sometimes the relationship between this person and the person is not something that can be dealt with after a long time. Since that time when Li Fu took the husband and wife''s meal and moved out, Zhao Wanwan had counted the number of times she went home with one hand, and she had no contact with her sister.


    In June, I heard that Hu Yanxi closed the private school and went to Fucheng to take the exam.


    He received such a high bundle repair, originally just to rush the exam.


    Li Qinghe would know that, as Qing Miao said, the nephew of her cousin is fine now at home to practice handwriting.


    Li Qinghe and the two also stayed at home to practice calligraphy. Many people in the village went to the mountains to gather medicinal materials, and even the mountains were not easy to hunt. The pheasants and rabbits were also driven into deeper forests because of too many people. There are forests that are inaccessible. , Even Zhou Chengkang did not dare to go.


    Not afraid, but there is no need to take risks.


    After planting the medicinal materials in the forest, the two of them did not go out. The medicinal materials brought this time basically took up dozens of acres of barren forest. The main reason is that the forest is different from the ground, and some places are not suitable. If there are rocks, they will be empty.


    In the autumn afternoon, the sun was just right, and the two moved tables and chairs to practice calligraphy under the eaves.


    It should be three people. Xi Yu also practiced Chinese calligraphy, and she still looked like she was lacking strength.


    The atmosphere was warm, Li Qinghe glanced at the father and son from time to time and couldn''t help but chuckle.


    "Practicing calligraphy requires meditation, what are you laughing at?" Zhou Chengkang glanced at Xi Yu suggestively, which was to set her as a good example.


    Practicing calligraphy is actually a very boring thing, and it really takes patience, perseverance, and a firm person to persevere. Obviously he doesn''t want to write it himself. He wanders a few times and even teaches others.


    Li Qinghe laughed, "I have to cook in the kitchen, what do you want to eat?"


    "Noodle." Xi Yu said immediately.


    This kid can''t bear it anymore, "Mother, I want to help."


    Zhou Chengkang put down his pen and preached in a serious manner, "You can help us by practicing more calligraphy. I will help your mother for you."


    Xi Yu reacted quickly, "Why don''t you help me practice calligraphy, and I will help you?"


    The bigger Xiyu is, the more difficult it is to fool.


    The three laughed and went to the kitchen to make noodles, but the noodles were not easy to make. Half an hour after the noodles were ready, I moved a small table and placed it in the yard. The three of them sat and ate. There was no fresh meat at home, so Li Qinghe cut a piece of bacon and fried it on top, which was delicious.


    The door to the backyard was knocked without washing the dishes after eating.


    Usually, it is not the Yang family or Yu Yan who come through the door of the backyard.


    Li Qinghe went to open the door. If it was the Yang family, he would not let them into the yard.


    Behind the door is Yu Yan, with dim sum in her hand, "We just came back from town and bought some dim sum, and I will bring you some."


    Li Qinghe turned sideways, asking her to come in.


    Yu Yan did not enter the door immediately, but looked in the direction of the Yang family, "I went to town just now and heard that someone in our village was buying waste forest."


    This is quite surprising.


    One or two silver an acre is actually not cheap. You can buy food for hundreds of catties, if you buy it just to chop wood, it is completely unnecessary. It is also unrealistic to open up wasteland. If you want to dig out the roots of the old trees, you have to dig out a big hole at least, but you don¡¯t have to dig cleanly. Small saplings will grow in the spring next year. If you buy a bamboo forest, it''s really useless.


    Unless... it''s the same kind of medicine as her.


    The investment in planting medicinal materials is not a little bit of money, not to mention buying the silver of the barren forest, that is, asking people to level the ground and planting medicinal materials, and buying medicinal seeds, these are not a little silver. Curiously asked, "Who is it?"


    Yu Yan pointed her finger at the Yang family, "He bought the opposite..." She pointed her finger at the forest behind the village, which was a bit steep. "The ten acres over there are also said to be planted with medicinal materials. Their family is really thick-skinned. Learn everything from your family."


    Li Qinghe looked at the opposite hillside, speechless for a while. It¡¯s not that the opposite hillside is not good, but those that can be turned into wasteland. In the forest she bought, there are many big trees, there are trees with dead leaves, and when the dead leaves rot, they will be black soil. After applying medicinal materials, the medicine also grows fast.


    A large area of ??the hillside opposite is full of small trees, with thorns inside, and a thin layer of soil, planted with medicinal materials... I''m afraid it will be choking. Of course, it is still possible to choose the right medicinal materials.


    "Do you want to buy?" Li Qinghe asked with a smile.


    Yu Yan waved her hand, "I don''t want it. Although I live in the village, I have no plans to farm. But it is clean here, and the people living there are clean, so you don''t need to bother to plan..."


    I don''t want to talk about the Yang family, and don''t bother to think about where their family is getting the money now, Li Qinghe pulled her, "Enter the house."


    "Not going anymore." Yu Yan smiled and whispered, "I went home. The father and son refused to eat in the town. They had to come back to eat the buns I made. I have to go back."


    Seeing her happily leaving, Li Qinghe turned around and walked in.


    It¡¯s not a secret that the Yang family bought land in the village? Two or three days later, most of the people knew that the Yang family also planned to grow medicinal materials like Li Qinghe.


    If you know it, you know, no one in the village will help their family work, and no one will want to buy waste forest like them.


    Originally, fish farming was pretty much the same. At the very least, I can see that I have made money in recent years. That barren forest...Someone secretly helped Li Qinghe to settle the account. Not counting the dozens of taels of silver to buy the barren forest, that is, hiring people to level the land and planting medicinal materials. I have already spent more than ten taels of labor, let alone the source of the medicinal seeds. You can''t buy it if you have money. This thing is not something that ordinary farmers can afford to grow.


    Besides, who knows if he can make money?


    If it weren''t for the barren woods bought by the Yang family, I could look forward to it. After all, no one can plant more than ten acres of land, and they can go to work for a few days when they hire someone. But the Yang family, I''m afraid I can''t get the silver if I help!


    As a result, the Yang family didn''t want to hire anyone in the village, so Xu Changjie ran out, not knowing where he found a dozen strong laborers, all of them men. It is said that they don¡¯t need any wages, just give them food, and live at night in the house beside the fish pond they built earlier.


    A room was crowded with more than a dozen people, and when others found out, they just sighed. I don''t know what these people have experienced. Some people still have scars on their faces. No wages, just meals. That¡¯s it, I heard that every meal in Yang¡¯s family just uses sweet potatoes to cook porridge for them, which is the simplest and cheapest meal. Work before dawn and come back in the moonlight.

 Chapter 113： contact

    Li Qinghe has invited so many people. A dozen people are really good at work. They can come out to work with the naked eye. It can be said that if you look at it every other hour, you can dig out a large area.


    Originally, those people were all on the opposite mountain, and they could be seen by just looking up. This was a rare thing in the village. When there were more people watching, I found something was wrong.


    Those people don''t seem to be people who are used to farm work. Looking at the five big and three rough, but the work has not been done so much, anyway, no villagers can do it smoothly.


    The weather is getting colder and colder. People in the village don''t go out very much. The people next door are still working. Zhou''s mother came this day.


    This year, she lived by herself, and at first she ate with Zhang Haiyao. Later, she cooked and ate by herself, and occasionally came to see Xiyu.


    As soon as she entered the door, she asked, "Qinghe, is your courtyard wall enclosed?"


    Yes, there were so many strangers next door, and it seemed difficult to provoke him. Zhou Chengkang dug thorns to plant a large area, and directly cut off the road between the Yang family. In this way, although the people next door could not get through They came, but they also cut off their way to the town, and they had to go around the village.


    But this is only temporary. The Yang family cannot support a dozen people for a long time. Even the dozens of acres of barren forest on Li Qinghe''s side can''t stand the work of a dozen people day and night. After those people leave, it''s okay to remove the thorns.


    It is easy to withdraw, just cut it back and burn it.


    Seeing the two nodded, Zhou''s mother was slightly relieved and said in a low voice, "I heard your aunt next door say early this morning that the Yang family quarreled yesterday, saying that those people were caught stealing fish from the Yang family to grill. ."


    "I''m afraid they will come and catch your chickens." Mother Zhou sighed. "Those people are not easy to provoke at first sight. I don''t know where the Yang family got them. It''s not worth offending them for the chickens. Good separation."


    By the end of October, it started to rain in the sky, and the house became even colder. The two pigs that Li Qinghe fed were already big enough to be killed by someone. On the last day of October, many people came to help the pigs at home.


    Because it has been raining frequently recently, many people have not been to the town. Anyway, the weather is cold. If you buy more meat, it won¡¯t go bad. Before noon, a pig will be sold out.


    There are still many people who haven''t bought it. While the butcher was still there and there were too many people, let them help pull out the other side and kill it.


    If one pig is not enough, there will be more than two pigs, and most of them are left. In the afternoon, basically everyone bought pork and went home. Li Qinghe also began to let the helpers cook, Zhang Haiyao and Li Qingmiao, and Yu Yan behind, Li Fu and Zhao Dashan plus the butcher, there were still quite a few people.


    Everyone was talking, the cook was cooking, and someone came outside the gate.


    The people who came were Xu Changjie and his second brother. Regardless of the closeness of the residence, the two actually have no contact at all. He was dressed in a cyan gown, still in a gentle appearance, "Is there any meat left in your family?"


    Zhou Chengkang greeted him, "Yes, there are still some, but we have to invite people after the Chinese New Year. Those are all made to make cured meat and will not be sold."


    Xu Changjie was a little disappointed, and then said, "Can you just sell me two catties? It''s really inconvenient to go to town recently, and my house is busy too. Those who help us work hard, they leave their homes, they are treated as pity. "


    "Does your family have a carriage?" Zhou Chengkang refused, "I really don''t sell it."


    Xu Changping frowned, "You don''t need to be so careful? They are all in the same village, and they are still neighbors. Why can''t they be sold? I think your family is targeting us..."


    He is not polite, Zhou Chengkang is even more polite than him, "Just targeting you, so what can I do?"


    "I know, because our family digs fish ponds and grows medicinal materials. Your family thinks we followed you to learn." Xu Changping folded his arms, "but in this village, there is no rule that only your family can raise fish and grow medicinal materials. !"


    It should be that he himself knew that this was inappropriate, and he would take care of it if he was not kind.


    But in fact, Li Qinghe and the two really didn''t take these things in their eyes. The fish, ten fish ponds, were not enough for the people in the county seat. As for the medicinal materials, it is even more funny. There are so many people in the world and many people are sick. No amount of medicinal materials is enough.


    Zhou Chengkang didn''t bother to tell them this kind of person, only shouting "Rhubarb!"


    Rhubarb jumped out.


    Xu Changping turned around and ran. In fact, dogs generally don''t bite people, especially Rhubarb is smart, but no matter how smart it is, it is also a dog. When someone runs, it subconsciously chases after it, and immediately rushed out.


    Xu Changjie stood still and frowned slightly, "Brother Zhou, is this a bit too much?"


    Zhou Chengkang directly raised his hand to close the door, "I''m sorry, there are guests today, so I won''t be able to tell you more here. So be it."


    Rhubarb really drove two miles away, and bit Xu Changping before returning.


    There were a lot of people eating dinner, and there were two tables. At night, the crowd had dispersed.


    The next morning, it was still raining outside, and the window paper was damp. Zhou Chengkang got up and went to light the brazier to bake the room before lying back on the bed. Before he lay down, someone outside scolded, ¡°It¡¯s amazing to keep a dog. , Let the dog bite people, you don¡¯t ask a doctor to bandage my man. This thing will not get through!"


    It was a sharp female voice. After hearing it clearly, you would know that it should be Xu Changping''s wife. Can someone who can live comfortably in his sister-in-law¡¯s house for so long still count on her to be a reasonable person?


    If the truth doesn''t make sense, there is no need to talk about it. Zhou Chengkang went out, opened the door a crack, and the rhubarb jumped out again, and then the woman''s screams got farther and farther.


    Seeing the person running away, Zhou Chengkang called the rhubarb back, closed the door again and went back to sleep.


    Listening to the movement outside, Li Qinghe couldn''t help but raise the corners of his mouth, and smiled, "People should say you look down on people after you become wealthy and let the dog bite people."


    Zhou Chengkang pulled the quilt on, "Rhubarb is not bitten by everyone. We have kept it for so many years and we haven''t bitten a few people in total."


    For the two of them, the two brothers next door are regarded as their most annoying people, not one of them.


    After this incident, the relationship between the two families, which was originally strange, can now be said to be bad.


    The two had no contact at all, and the relationship was bad and bad. In the winter moon, snow floated in the sky. At this moment, there is really no one going out to work, including the dozen people invited next door.


    In fact, even if they eat sweet potatoes, because there is no meat, those people eat more and more as time goes by. People have to eat even if they don¡¯t work.


    Li Qinghe never went out, and occasionally heard someone say that Xu''s mother complained that they ate a lot.


    In the afternoon of that day, someone came to the door, and the person who came was regarded as the eldest brother of Li Qinghe and Li''s family, called Li Qingsong. Both of the couple came, with Li Fu on the side. It was said that the elderly in the family were sick and very ill, so I wanted to ask them if they had any medicinal materials and took them back to the elderly to drink.


    "Qinghe, we are not saying not to hire a doctor for him, but the doctor has already said that my dad''s illness is just going through the days, saying that he will leave in autumn... Now the weather is so cold, it''s getting worse. It seems too much to give him medicine..." His eye circles were red. "It has been several days without water and rice. You can give me some medicine that is not bad, and I will boil it for him when I go back. Maybe he thinks he has drunk it. The medicine doesn''t hurt anymore."


    If the water and rice haven''t entered for several days, this person should be dead. To put it bluntly, it is for psychological comfort.


    Li Qinghe turned around and walked in, grabbed the medicinal materials for him, and said, "This medicine will be dark as soon as it is boiled. You don''t need that much."


    After leaving the couple, Li Fu walked in, "I came here to find me with me, I''m afraid you won''t take the medicine."


    Someone actually came to Li Qinghe to ask Li Qinghe for medicinal materials earlier, but can this thing be given casually? She is not a doctor, what if she is eaten badly? Even if the food is not bad, it will delay the illness. Therefore, no matter who came to ask for medicinal materials, he was refused, and he asked the doctor for medicine.


    "The third brother was also very good to me at the beginning. I didn''t expect it to be... just two days." He shook his head, "It''s really meaningless for a lifetime." As soon as the voice fell, Xiyu walked in.


    A smile suddenly appeared on Li Fu''s face, and the corners of his mouth were grinning behind his ears, "Hey Yu is here, do you miss Grandpa?"


    Looking at his happy appearance, it doesn''t seem like being alive and boring.


    Sure enough, two days later, in the days when the sky was snowing, Li Qinghe''s uncle was gone.


    Even if it is colder and there is a funeral in the village, everyone still has to come to help. Naturally, Li Qinghe would also go, speaking of a very close person, her grandfather Li Kui''s cousin was the grandfather of the eldest brother that day.


    Li Kui sent away his cousin a few years ago, and now he sent away his nephew, quite sad.


    Funerals are always sad. Even if there are good things in the family, they will not be too happy in the funeral.


    The funeral usually lasts for more than two days, and the meals at the beginning are the same as usual, only the meal on the day of the burial will be better.


    Everyone here is tying the coffins and preparing to send them up the mountain, and the seats are opened over there. At this moment, a group of people arrived at the door.


    All of them are five big and three thick, looking fierce and evil, they are the same group of people who live in the Yang family.


    Everyone knows that the Yang family recently invited a lot of people to live at home, but these people don''t usually come out, and they go to work in the mountains when they come out, and they don''t know the people in the village at all.


    This was probably the first time that everyone had close contact with them. As soon as they arrived, they went to the table and yelled for food. If you observe carefully, you will find that they are not the strong labor of ordinary dealers at all. Where did it come from... the robbers?


    Everyone couldn''t help being far away from them, especially this group was all men, the older girls and the little wives all hid in the kitchen and couldn''t get out.


    Upon seeing this, someone quietly went to the host''s house. Whether the food should be served to them or not, they had to come up with a charter. They didn''t help at first. Secondly, just enter the door and sit, not as if you are going to give a funeral ceremony.


    Li Qingsong is helping to put a rope on the coffin. This is very important. Generally, if the coffin is not carried to the place, the coffin cannot fall to the ground, otherwise it is unlucky. So the rope had to be strong, and it had to be tied so that it could not fall off. It was a hard work. On a cold day, there was a layer of fine sweat on his forehead.


    Hearing this, he looked at the people outside and frowned, "So, you help me ask what the Yang family really means? Let them come and take their people away."


    The person who came to report the letter was not an outsider. Hearing this, he turned and slipped out of the yard and went to the Yang family.


    The author has something to say: see you tomorrow~ thanks to the little angel who voted for me or irrigated nutrient solution during 2019-12-2315:03:23~2019-12-2414:57:09~


    Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: 5 bottles of Irene;


    Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

 Chapter 114： midnight

    The Yang family and the Xu family didn''t come today as if they had discussed it. They looked around in the yard and found no one, and the helper quickly ran to the Yang family.


    But I came back within a quarter of an hour, "Qingsong, the Yang family said they can''t control these people. If you really don''t want to feed them, you just don''t show it."


    Li Qingsong walked under the eaves and frowned. Because he hadn''t spoken, the two tables hadn''t served food yet, because they had waited too long and they were already knocking on the table.


    "What''s the matter with this family? Can''t we help you carry the funeral at that time?" He looked very impatient.


    It''s really not possible for anyone to carry out the funeral. It has to be the younger generation of the deceased, and Li Qingsong himself has to invite them one by one, and there will be thank you later, such as a pack of peanuts.


    The coffin will be up the mountain in a while, and the person who carried the funeral has already been invited. Where are these strangers needed?


    Seeing those people clamoring more and more, Li Qingsong gritted his teeth and said, "Serve them food."


    "The Yang Family! When this is over, I must ask them for an explanation."


    In fact, no matter whether it is a happy event or a funeral in the village, the people who come to the door are sincerely willing to help. Even if the two families are usually at odds, as long as they come, they will not deliberately find the host''s uncomfortable. After all, everyone can do things. when.


    The Yang family is so unkind.


    These people said they were invited by the Yang family and lived there, but in fact everyone knew in their hearts that these people were clearly found by the Xu family.


    When the food was on the table, the people over there began to gorge themselves, but didn''t knock on the table anymore, but after a few breaths, they started to knock again, "Add food!"


    It is possible to add vegetables a few days ago. After all, home cooking is not enough, but today it is generally not added because the dishes will be better, and each table has a fixed amount. After adding, it may not be enough.


    The coffin here is about to go out, and Li Qingsong doesn''t care about it anymore, "Tim."


    Whenever someone in the village has problems, Li Qinghe will come to help, most of the time in the kitchen. Hearing that she wanted to add food, she thought about it, packed a few plates of vegetarian dishes over there and served it out, and whispered to the Li family brothers who came to serve the food with a look of irritation, "You are polite, just say they are late. Now, the meat dishes are gone, so I will eat them."


    The person who served the food was not stupid, and it was instantly clear. After the food was delivered, he accompanied the smiling face and said Li Qinghe''s words.


    Those people did not continue to clamor, and added two more times during the period.


    To tell the truth, there are people in the village who can eat like them, but they are not so indifferent. It is a rare thing in the village to threaten the owner to add food.


    They have been eating without leaving the table. They have been buried in the mountain over there, and they are still drinking. In this big winter, you can sit and endure it.


    Li Qingsong frowned when he saw it when he entered the door, "Who brought the wine?"


    Someone sighed, "The wine is all under the eaves, and they take it by themselves. I want to hide the whole pot, but I didn''t have time."


    Li Qingsong was immediately angry. Anyway, his father had already been buried at this moment, and the funeral was over, so he went out to Xu''s house angrily with a knife.


    Looking at his posture, people in the village were afraid that something would happen, so many people followed him.


    The Xu family were all at home. Li Qingsong kicked the door open with a "bang" and shouted, "Get out!"


    The door was hit, and the Xu family quickly went out, but they were all at home, even the two brothers of the Xu family who lived in the Yang family returned.


    "What is this?" Mother Xu frowned.


    Li Qingsong is not polite, "You don''t care about the two tables in my yard? Whose family is like yours, let us provide you with a long-term job? Didn''t give them food for half a month?"


    Mother Xu stepped forward, "They are human too, they have long legs, how can we manage it?"


    "Don''t care?" Li Qingsong asked with a sneer, "Then you are talking about, where did you find those people?"


    Xu Mu paused and said quickly, "Can you control it?"


    Li Qinghe stood in the crowd, thinking about those people carefully. Before today, the people in the village would say one thing at most: looking at the big five and three rough, they didn''t expect to be unable to work.


    Looking at their eating and tone movements today, they don¡¯t look like ordinary dealers at all. It''s like a rascal.


    Moreover, there is one more important thing. There are so many people in Wang Village, the in-laws are all over the whole Luoyue Town, and there are even girls from the next town who have married, and none of them knows even one of them.


    It also proves that these people are from outside.


    "It doesn''t matter." Li Qingsong nodded, "Then you go and call people away, or I will go to town to find the mayor''s reporter, someone will come to my house to grab something."


    Hearing this, Xu''s mother was anxious, "Your family is doing errands, and someone comes to your door, and that''s a guest. Isn''t that just eating your meal, and going to the mayor to complain..."


    Seeing her, she didn''t mean to call people back. Li Qingsong nodded and looked at Zhou Chengkang, "Brother-in-law, please lend me your carriage."


    Zhou Chengkang agreed. Seeing the two go out, he really wanted to find someone in town. Mother Xu was anxious, "Isn''t it possible for me to call? Stingy!"


    When Xu''s mother came in, the two tables were still drinking, she walked to the table and said, "Sangou, take them back when they are almost done."


    Sangou is the headed brawny man, waving his hand, "Brothers still have to drink."


    Mother Xu looked at the table and smiled, "It''s the same if you take the wine back to drink."


    "What do you mean?" The brawny man named Sangou slapped the table and stood up. "Does this mean you are embarrassed by the brothers? But you said that all the vegetables that we asked to come over for dinner are all vegetarian dishes. ?"


    Mother Xu hurriedly laughed, "No, they have to clean up the table and return it to each family. The weather is too cold and they want to go back to rest after finishing the business. You drink here, and they can''t go back home. The host is kind enough to let him You eat, you also make them convenient..."


    "That''s OK." Sangou got up and carried the flask. "Brothers, let''s go!"


    Seeing a group of people go screaming and drinking, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.


    At first glance, they felt that the person who came was unkind, not like a good person. However, it still makes sense.


    Li Qingsong was still angry, but he just left. It really made a fuss and made people anxious. If you really fight, you may not be able to fight.


    A group of brawny men listened to the words of the three dogs and did not dare to provoke them.


    There are not many things in the winter, and there are still a few that took advantage of the time before the wedding. The Xu family seems to have the sweetness. Every time there is a happy event, they let this group of people come out to eat, and the host¡¯s wine is just hidden. When they found it, they couldn''t drive away, and they were a little anxious. The Sangou was very fierce, and they didn''t drink until it was dark every time.


    Moreover, when they were eating, their eyes were always on the eldest girl and the young daughter-in-law, which caused the eldest girl¡¯s house to disappear, and the young daughter-in-law left the kitchen unwilling to go out, or went home by herself without paying attention.


    After a few more visits, someone found the village chief, a group of big men, and there were many big girls in the village. If something goes wrong, it''s over. You can''t make your own girl their daughter-in-law, right?


    The village chief was also embarrassed. After all, these people didn''t do anything, but there were more people looking for him. He also went to Xu''s house and asked them to take people away. If you really want to invite people, you can invite them after the beginning of spring.


    Xu''s mother promised well, but what about those people who looked back, compared to not going out before, now they are still hanging around in the village occasionally.


    Li Qinghe heard of these and raised two more dogs.


    If the village is wealthy, it is their home now. Don''t say whether they have the mind or not, you have to be on guard.


    Donglassi got involved in the twelfth lunar month, and those people still did not leave. Li Qinghe and the two began to fish for fish to sell.


    This fish is still alive when caught in the town. Some people like to buy it early, which is cheaper. The price will definitely increase during the two days of the New Year. Anyway, I brought it back and kept it in a bucket for ten and a half months.


    They started selling fish here, and Xu Changjie''s fish also went to the town. The whole twelfth lunar month was busy selling fish, and Li Qinghe didn''t pay much attention to what happened in the village.


    On the night of the twenty-ninth lunar month, suddenly she heard screams coming from the direction of the Yang family next door.


    At the same time, there was a rapid knock on the door, "Open the door! Open the door!"


    The irritable male voice was outside, smashing the door and kicking. Compared with other homes, the door of Li Qinghe''s house was new, and the courtyard wall was still blue brick, which was extremely strong. The two stood in the yard and did not go out. After a long time, the movement gradually diminished.


    But the rhubarb at the door led the two puppies and they were still yelling, right at the door.


    It seems that the person has not left yet.


    Anyway, the two of them were not curious about whether they had gone, as long as they didn''t come in. When it was almost dawn, they saw someone appearing on the wall and they wanted to get in.


    When the people went down, Zhou Chengkang carried a wooden stick and slammed it up, hitting him so badly.


    Probably after hearing the movement inside, no one came in outside. Rhubarb gradually stopped calling, and there should be no one outside.


    Li Qinghe found a rope to tie up the people, and the two lighted the torch to see that it was one of the people invited by the Yang family next door.


    In fact, it''s not surprising that there have been few thieves in the village for many years, and there hasn''t been this kind of people who want to steal things for many years. In addition, Zhao Tianfu and the others would not be able to get out for a few years after being caught. The lesson from the past is that these people in the village would never dare.


    Only these outsiders will think. The two woke them up with cold water and asked, "Where do you all come from? Where do you live? Why did you get to Xu''s house?"


    Don''t ask why he overcame the wall, in fact, it is nonsense to ask, and he must come in to steal something over the wall.


    The man''s eyes were swollen, and he squinted to see. In fact, it was still dark, and he couldn''t see anything at all. He took a mouthful of blood and sneered, "He has the ability to kill Lao Tzu."


    "It''s the same as if I didn''t dare to beat you to death." Zhou Chengkang swiped the stick and beat it, no matter what it was.


    The man rolled around and avoided at first, but later saw Zhou Chengkang attacked viciously, and hurriedly said, "Don''t fight!"


    The villagers are actually quite simple. They beat people to death like Zhou Chengkang, and maybe they can''t find one.


    Zhou Chengkang was another scream, knocking him scream, and sneered, "Dare to climb the wall, and you deserve to be killed."


    "Don''t tell me? Don''t tell me to continue fighting!"


    At this time, the sky was already bright, and the man''s clothes had blood stains and muddy water, and said, "We...cough cough...we came out of prison."

 Chapter 115： Dispose of

    Hearing this, the two of them were surprised when they were surprised. These people themselves didn''t look like good people, and they were... normal when they came out of prison.


    Zhou Chengkang asked again, "What did you all go in? Or did you go in together?"


    "No." The man saw the stick in his hand and said hurriedly, "Some of them are bandits who have been killed, but they just stood aside to cheer. I just stole things in, and came out just one day with them, listening to the third brother. There is a place to go, and food is guaranteed, and then I followed."


    The third brother in his mouth should be the Sangou, "How did the Sangou know that they came to our village?"


    "I met the father and son of the Yang family, who happened to live next door, and they went to the county town to pick us up."


    Yang family father and son?


    Those who can be released should not be extremely vicious. For example, Zhao Tianfu and the others have been sentenced to overcoming the wall and entering the room for more than ten years. These people are quite young, and they should all be petty thefts. Li Qinghe frowned, "You are used to stealing chickens and dogs, how can you be willing to help their family honestly?"


    "I didn¡¯t say that before I came. The third brother said that the Yang family¡¯s father and son lied to him. He clearly said that he would take us to take refuge, but the Xu family lied to others. At first, he said that we would help to hide our identities. Really let us work, usually so picky, eating deductions and searches. We haven''t seen meat for half a year. Just forcing us to work. The third brother said that he would take us away, but the result was... The guy from the Xu family said, if we dare to leave, they will go to town to sue us for stealing..." He took a few breaths, and then sighed, "We have all been in jail, and anyone says we stole. Outsiders will definitely believe that the yellow mud is smashed. It is not **** or shit. It is not clear. Anyway, he said that we will steal things, so we can''t let them be wronged..."


    So, I really came to steal something.


    The Yang family likes speculation the most, and they dare to do anything for labor that doesn''t need money.


    Threatening these people is not afraid of being beaten back.


    In fact, the last time I saw in Li Qingsong''s house, these people were very rude to the Xu family, but when they really argued, the three dogs would still compromise and seemed a little jealous.


    "It''s okay now, you really stole something. It won''t work if you don''t send you to the mayor." Zhou Chengkang threw away the stick in his hand, "I will send you at dawn. By the way, how many people did you intend to steal last night?"


    "Not many people, just the Yu family behind." He was rather frustrated, "I usually hear that your family is rich and rich. The Yang family''s wealth is only superficially, it looks generous, but in fact it is the most stingy... after so long, one We never let us eat any meat."


    He gritted his teeth, "If I meet the Yang family father and son again, I will definitely not let him go. And Zhao Tianfu, his mother must have benefited. Testimony that the Yang family is rich, benevolent and kind, deceived us so miserably."


    Li Qinghe kindly reminded, "If you go back now, you will definitely run into it." You have to have a good beating then.


    The sky outside gradually brightened. Zhou Chengkang was a little worried when he said that someone was going to the Yu''s house. He looked through the back door and saw two people **** in Min Rui''s yard.


    Twisting them out of the village, the road to the Yang¡¯s family was blocked and they could only pass through the village. Many people were seen on the road. These people did indeed go to the homes that they were eyeing last night. Sangou robbed Yang''s family by picking it himself, and he got his hands on it. Not only did he get the silver from the Yang family¡¯s fish selling, but also the last jewelry left by Yang¡¯s mother, and beat the two brothers Xu Changjie. Finally, , He ran away by himself.


    After such a major incident, the village head came forward and went to the village to find out. He found that the Communist Party had caught these three, and the others ran away. There were three other families who were stolen, and the amount of money was from five to one. Wait, if you count it, a few of the dozen or so people didn''t participate and ran away by themselves.


    Anyway, there were five people coming to Li Qinghe''s courtyard, but one was caught, and the others had already ran away when they saw that the situation was wrong.


    The stolen family in the village twisted these three people to the mayor¡¯s house, and also brought people from the Yang family and Xu family.


    The Yang family¡¯s mother and daughter don¡¯t need to be brought by the villagers, and they have to report the case to the mayor¡¯s house. Mother Yang''s last little jewelry at the bottom of the box was completely gone, she was going to seek justice for herself.


    If such a big incident occurred in the village, the mayor would not dare to deal with ordinary thief, especially according to the confession of the three people, among the dozens of people who committed the crime, ran out to hide without going to jail. All have records, just waiting to be caught back and go to jail. Wangcun is remote, and outsiders don''t know after people come. It''s a long time after hiding, and no one doubts it.


    The Xu Yang family deliberately harbored prisoners, and the charges were not light.


    The mayor sent the three people and Xu Yang''s family to the county seat.


    Li Qinghe didn''t lose, so they didn''t follow.


    It is also a very bad thing to harbor more than a dozen prisoners and attack the villagers, not to mention in the town, even in the county.


    On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the inquiries sent by the county seat arrived. Basically, every family in the village visited and brought back a thick pile of testimonies. The Xu family condoned those people who worked in the village. At that time, all the things that were taken by force were recorded.


    The most talked about in the village recently is about these people, but there is more important thing than this, that is, spring plowing.


    The weather in the first month of this year was good, and everyone was busy turning the ground, and Li Qinghe was no exception.


    The village chief has already made a statement before the judgment on the county seat is over, and it is forbidden to invite such people of unknown origin to live in the village. It was Yu Ermo and his wife who were also sent back by the village head to find their own village head to write a letter proving their origins. Otherwise, the village would not be able to keep them.


    Every family here in the village is busy with spring plowing, and people who are greedy for the dark in the morning, gradually no one mentions that group of people. However, the Yang family''s land and the barren woods they bought still had no one to plant. In the spring, it looked extremely desolate. It was the bright and bright blue brick house of the Yang family. Because of the good rain in the spring, there was no one to live in for two months. The yard had grown grass and looked a little depressed.


    Li Qinghe still hired people this year, but in the newly opened more than a dozen acres of land, not all grain was grown, but some medicinal materials were left. If she really kept the seeds, it would still be very fast, but the seeds left over a year, if she wanted to, could have planted all the land.


    Now just start, slowly try to plant.


    Just when the families in the village were busy farming, Hu Yanxi from the town came back. Last year, he took part in the township examination and failed. He waited three years before going back.


    Even a county test is not easy to take, how easy is it for a country test?


    It is normal to fail. You should know that being on the list in the township examination is just like a master. If you have talent, you can directly find a good position to join the officialdom.


    Soon after Hu Yanxi came back, Zhao Wanwan was kicked out by his mother because she was in poor health, and there was no good news for several years.


    Unfilial piety is the biggest after three years. She hasn''t done anything for three years. Hu Yanxi divorced her for this reason.


    The Xiucai lady in Wangcun was divorced and returned home.


    Zhao Wanwan went back to the village and went to live with Qian directly. She also raised Zhao Tianfu''s child, and she has now changed her surname to Qian. Zhao Tianfu''s land was also picked up by her. Recently, she was worried that she could not find anyone to plow.


    Want to hire someone, she has no money. Plant it yourself... she won''t!


    Not at all, someone has to lead it. However, she has a bad reputation now. Although she is older, she is indeed beautiful, and no woman can rest assured that her man will lead her to farm. In addition, she couldn''t pay her wages, so no one really wanted to help.


    Li Qinghe would know this, and I still listened to Lanhua. She is holding her belly and was born in May or June. Zhao Dashan would not let her work, and she ran over to talk to her sister because she was bored.


    For this younger sister, Li Qinghe still quite likes, can talk, is also diligent in her hands, and often makes clothes for Xiyu. The money used to buy fabrics for the clothes is all the "wages" sent to her by Li Qinghe. People really didn''t mean to take advantage of her. They really did help when they said to help. They didn''t keep any wages, so maybe they posted some inside.


    There are many people working on the back mountain. The two sisters were talking in the yard, and they heard someone knocking on the door outside. They were quite anxious. Lanhua held his stomach to open it. An anxious mother Zhou stood at the door, "An accident happened to the boss." Up."


    "What''s the matter?" Li Qinghe asked curiously.


    Zhou''s mother was very anxious, "Mei Hua fought with him somehow, and said that he was going to get together. It was yesterday."


    She was anxious, Li Qinghe''s face was flat, "Mother want to see it? I will let Chengkang take you there."


    It''s okay to send her to town, just as sending her mother to town, but the couple would never interfere.


    Zhou Mu didn''t care about her indifferent attitude. After Zhou Chengkang came back, she sent her and Zhou Laosan in a carriage. In fact, it''s the busiest time in the village. I choose to be noisy at this time, and I don''t know why.


    Just in the afternoon of the same day, the mayor personally came to the village. It turned out that the county town had the results.


    A lot of people stood beside the big tree at the entrance of the village. The village chief and the mayor stood on high ground and said: Most of the people who ran away were also arrested. They were all sentenced according to the law. They turned into Li Qinghe¡¯s house and were sentenced. For ten years.


    And the money lost by the other three families in the village was also recovered. To be precise, it was not recovered, but after they were arrested, the family gathered them together to get them out as soon as possible.


    In general, apart from a fright, the village has no actual loss.


    But even so, the Yang family and Xu family have to pay for their actions.


    Xu Changjie, who went to meet people in the county in person, deliberately harbored the prisoner and was sentenced to eight years in prison. The Xu family did not report it, and the whole family went to jail, each with three years in prison. As for the unknowing Yang family''s mother and daughter, they were released back.


    Yang Lanrou didn''t know?


    Li Qinghe was a little unbelievable. The two of them were as good as they were. It was her father''s mastermind that took these people to work, she didn''t know?


    It should be someone who thought she didn''t know, but knew the inside story, such as Xu Changjie, who directly concealed the matter.


    Anyway, the mother and daughter have returned.


    After the matter was finished, the mayor left. The village head also wanted to leave, but was stopped by the villagers.


    There was a bold person who directly suggested, "The village chief, the Yang family was originally a person who moved in. After they came, they stole things and harbored criminals. Can we stop them from living?"

 Chapter 116： Storm

    Hearing this, the village chief said with a straight face, "There is another thing. The ponds and land in the Yang family village, including the slopes, will all be sold. If you are interested, you can come to my house to find me."


    Sell ??it?


    Everyone became curious, and asked directly if they had a good relationship with the village chief''s family.


    The village chief didn¡¯t mean to hide it for them, saying, ¡°They bought the money from the hillside. The Xu family asked the gambling shop in the town to double the profit after a year. Now there¡¯s something wrong with their family. People have found the mayor, and they have to pay it now. If not, they have to go to the county office to make a distinction."


    "I asked, Mrs. Yang said to sell the pond and the land and return it to the other side. Only twenty taels."


    Ten acres of sloping land cost ten taels. The five acres of wasteland here, apart from the house, plus the pond, should work if you want to.


    But if you don¡¯t really want it, it¡¯s a bit tasteless and expensive.


    Immediately there was humanity, "It''s almost the same after adding the house."


    If you add a house, it will be a good deal. A house is more than ten taels.


    The village chief glared at the person who spoke, "Just you are clever. You don''t know some things. The Xu family has committed a crime. All the houses and land belonging to the Xu family will be handed over to the public. Therefore, people who want to buy the Xu family house and land Anyone can go to the town to find the mayor."


    In other words, the house where the mother and daughter of the Yang family live is already under the title deed of Xu Changjie, and the mother and daughter can no longer live in it.


    "That''s too expensive." Someone shook his head.


    In fact, it is not expensive. The five acres of land next to the house are now poor land, and the harvest is not good, but it is indeed impossible to generalize it to wasteland. If you want to buy land, it is still possible.


    But apart from Li Qinghe in the village, no one bought the barren forest.


    Therefore, the land of the Yang family''s mother and daughter is likely to be smashed.


    After the matter was finished, Li Qinghe took Xiyu home. When passing by the Li''s house, he found that Zhao Wanwan was already there with a child in her hands. It was Zhao Tianfu''s, who was regarded as her half-brother.


    Seeing her here, Li Qinghe pushed the door in and listened to her, "Father, I just ask you to help us work. I will pay the wages. The wages will have to be paid after the autumn harvest. For all these years of love, if you don¡¯t Help us, no one in the village will help us. You can''t watch me and my mother get hungry, right?"


    "Pay the money after the autumn harvest." Li Qinghe answered, "Isn''t it okay to ask anyone? Why do I have to ask my father?"


    Hearing the voice, Zhao Wanwan turned her head and frowned slightly, "Sister, after all I have lived in this house for several years, do you not care about any kind of affection?"


    mutual affection?


    Li Qinghe sneered, "When your days were good, we couldn''t get any light. Now that we are down and back again, does the Li family have to be entangled with your mother and daughter? Even if my father marries another, you will be blind It¡¯s generally invisible?"


    "Our Li family has nothing to do with your mother and daughter!"


    When the words fell, she looked at Liu who was silent on the side, "Aunt Liu, you should let the dog go when you see her coming, why bother with her?"


    Liu Shi smiled awkwardly and glanced at Li Fu.


    Li Qinghe knew what she meant in an instant. This was an attitude of scruples Li Fu.


    Li Fu has stretched out his hand to hug Xiyu. Yu Guang saw Zhao Wanwan''s face crying without crying, and said, "Go. I have done my best to raise a daughter for Zhao Tianfu, and it is impossible for him to raise a son for him. I Li Fu doesn''t owe him. He doesn''t say what he owes him. You don''t have to come to the house from now on. I''m having a good time."


    To say that Li Fu hadn''t been lost for Zhao Wanwan''s stepdaughter after she became a talented lady, it was false, but now that she really does come, it''s just like that. I didn''t feel too happy, but rather lost.


    Because it proves that the mother and daughter really regard him as fools who have no bottom line to condone them.


    Zhao Wanwan cried for a long time, but didn''t leave.


    Li Qinghe was annoyed and said directly, "Aunt Liu, I''ll send a dog back in a while."


    "You see my joke too?" Zhao Wanwan couldn''t bear it anymore, and yelled, "I suffered a cold body because I did too much work in your house, and I didn''t ask you to compensate. Now you guys hate me. I can''t be a talented lady because of you."


    It does matter if a woman''s body is cold, and it does matter if she often touches cold water in peacetime, especially if she touches cold water in the winter when her body and menstrual events come, she must be cold.


    But, how can Li Fu be blamed?


    Li Qinghe wanted to speak, but her father over there had already said solemnly, "When your mother took you to my house, I thought I was good to you and never treated you badly. You should not blame me for the cold body. I have an order. Have you ever done anything?"


    It was all ordered by Qian, and even because she was lazy, Zhao Wanwan was in charge of this parent inside and out.


    Before Zhao Wanwan''s tears fell, Li Qinghe sneered, "Your mother doesn''t protect you, but you blame your stepfather? No one in this whole village knows. My father raised you, and then you turned your face when you became a talented lady. Recognize people?"


    "Our Li family treats your mother and daughter with the utmost benevolence, and you will not be allowed to come back in the future!"


    With that said, Li Qinghe took her collar, lifted the siblings out of the Li''s yard, pushed the person out, and closed the door with a bang, "Get out."


    It''s all like this, it''s purely torn apart, and in the future, anyone who wants a face should not come to the door.


    If Li Fu didn''t help himself, it would be useless for them to come back many times. Besides, people''s hearts are grown in flesh. Liu Clan''s management outside home and outside the house in Su Ri, hushing cold and asking warmth, is he not feeling it?


    He used to be kind to Zhao Wanwan, but it was because he was interested in the Qian family. Now that the Qian family has lost that affection, he would not even see the Qian family. How could he be tempted to persuade Zhao Wanwan?


    After returning, Li Qinghe really sent a dog over. Every time he saw the mother and daughter, he would start howling from afar.


    After Zhou Chengkang came back, Li Qinghe asked about the quarrel between the two bosses.


    "I don''t know what it is for?" Zhou Chengkang shook his head. "The eldest brother said that someone always came to buy tofu at home, and the sister-in-law was more enthusiastic about her hospitality..."


    He didn''t say the next thing, but Li Qinghe already understood.


    Boss Zhou looks very angry on the surface, but he is actually careful. But in this Luoyue Town, it is not much for the husband and wife to get together for this kind of thing. Many people quarrel behind closed doors, even if it really matters, they won''t cause trouble.


    After a quarrel, within two days, Mr. Zhou sold the yard in the town, and the couple moved back to Zhou''s house.


    Unexpectedly this will be the result!


    People go to high places, not to mention that more and more family businesses are going to the county seat, how could they move back to the village?


    Li Qinghe didn''t ask why. Two days after moving back, Zhang Haiyao brought her child to talk to her.


    "It''s the sister-in-law who wanted to buy someone, saying that she was robbed because their family had no servants." Zhang Haiyao smiled and shook her head. "Big brother refused. He didn''t think it was necessary. You can save the money. The sister-in-law wanted to buy. A couple also said that someone in your family is waiting..." She lowered her voice, "You don''t know, sister-in-law quietly bought some gold bracelets."


    Li Qinghe was dumb.


    It seems that Mei really likes these things, so she doesn''t hesitate to buy them and wear them too, maybe she doesn''t want to do housework anymore.


    No one wants to do housework because of cumbersome housework. As you can see from usual times, Mei doesn''t like it. Don''t look at Zhang Haiyao''s family being richer than them, but when they are rich, they don''t look dirty. Look at Xiwei to know that the clothes on her body are always clean.


    Anyway, the outsiders of the two of them did not know why they wanted to quarrel with each other. Maybe it was these trivial things. The two accused each other and quarreled every day. .


    I''m fine now, I moved back, and I went to the town to sell tofu every day as I did when I was just married. After knowing that they had sold the town''s yard, many people came to borrow money.


    Boss Zhou is much more generous than his younger brother, but he can basically borrow it whenever someone comes to the house. But one thing is that you have to write an IOU, and you have to make money. Although it is not as dark as a gambling house, you have to harvest 10%.


    Because of the need to collect profit, many people come to borrow money, but not many people are really willing to pay for it.


    In a blink of an eye, the weather became warmer and warmer in May, and on that day there was a government office at the entrance of the village.


    It just so happened that there were so many people enjoying the coolness at the entrance of the village, and I was quite surprised. Those government officials with big swords seemed to come to get people. Followed all the way, watching Yacha go straight to Zhou''s house.


    Mr. Zhou and his wife were taken away.


    The people in the village talked a lot, and they didn''t know what they had committed. As soon as the people there took away, Zhou''s mother came over and held Heili. Enter the door and say, "Fourth, hurry up and ask, what is the boss for?"


    Li Qinghe didn''t know about it, but it''s okay to send Zhou''s mother to the town to find out. It''s not that he is worried about him, but that he may be implicated. You must know the reason, right?


    In the middle of the night, Zhou Chengkang, mother and son, came back, and learned the ins and outs from the mayor. It turned out that Mr. Zhou picked up a few packs of silver when he went out to sell tofu in the morning. The total amount was dozens of taels. Moved back.


    What to leave, what to buy someone for fear of being robbed, what to displease Zhou Boss because of Mei''s enthusiasm for the guests, all are fake, all are to cover up the most basic reason for the two moving home.


    Zhou Chengkang was holding the bowl, "My eldest brother said he picked it up, but he didn''t admit it over there. It must be said that he participated."


    It turned out that it was the person who ran out of the Yang family last time, and everyone who went to the county seat was caught. But two people who walked up the mountain ran away. After hiding in the mountain for so long, they couldn''t stand it anymore. After going down the mountain, the two ran to rob the wealthy households in the town, thinking about going away after making a vote.


    But the family desperately resisted, and accidentally killed the husband and wife. After they got on the street, the more they thought about it, the more they were afraid. They were sentenced to ten or eight years for just following the robbery. of. In the end, I simply divided the silver into several pieces and threw it in half. The more people who picked it up, the more they could share some crimes.


    Boss Zhou, who just woke up in the morning and sold tofu, picked it up, and he also picked up all three packs of silver that others had lost. He insisted that he picked it up by himself, but the two people over there insisted that he was also involved, and that the person was killed by him.


    The one who was able to testify for Boss Zhou was Mei''s. She could prove that he did not go out that night, but her testimony was not counted, and the couple who were killed there had no match.


    Boss Zhou said that he picked up the silver, but no one saw him pick it up with his own eyes, so he couldn''t make it clear. He was taken to the county jail that day.

 Chapter 117：

    Zhou Chengkang ran away for a long time, and now he had the meal. He gobbled up two bowls, took the dishes to the kitchen, and went to wash up again. Xiyu was already asleep after entering the door.


    "Mother is very worried." Zhou Chengkang whispered while lying on the bed.


    Li Qinghe didn''t answer, no matter how bad Zhou Boss is, Zhou Mu, as a mother, must be worried.


    It was quiet at night, and from time to time the dog barking in the village came, and the two gradually fell asleep.


    The next day it was dark, and someone knocked on the door outside, Zhou Chengkang got up and opened, and then Zhou''s mother''s voice came in.


    "No matter what grudges your elder brother has with you, you will always be two brothers. You can''t ignore him at this time."


    Hearing this, Li Qinghe opened his eyes, cloaked up and went out. It was not cold in the morning in May, and I saw Zhou Mu in the yard at a glance.


    Zhou Chengkang was washing, but did not answer.


    Seeing Li Qinghe coming out, Zhou''s mother was a little embarrassed, "Qinghe, be careful at home these days, take Xiyu well, we will go back."


    "Mother, I didn''t say I want to go." Zhou Chengkang wiped his face with the kerchief. "The county seat is too far away. There is still something in my forest."


    Zhou''s mother''s face changed slightly, "You mean you don''t want to care about your elder brother? Let the grievances between brothers go first, then they should be consistent with the outside world."


    When I woke up at this hour, I couldn''t sleep anymore. Li Qinghe also went to wash up, and asked, "Mother, third brother, are you going?"


    Zhou Mu dumbly said, "What is he going to do? The fourth child has been to the county a few times and can find the way. The most important thing is that Lin Zhixian knows the fourth child. If he helps plead with him, the county magistrate will definitely check it carefully. "


    "Others don''t know, you two always know your elder brother''s temperament. He just became greedy for a while and won''t kill. As long as you check carefully, he will be fine."


    The calculations are clear. The two of them know Lin Zhixian, but why should they beg for Boss Zhou?


    Zhou Chengkang has gone into the kitchen to cook, but he has no intention of packing up and leaving.


    Mother Zhou was anxious and chased into the kitchen, "Fourth old man, you are so..."


    "Mother." Li Qinghe entered the door holding the firewood, "We are brothers of the eldest brother, but there are two elder brothers and three elder brothers above. Even if the second elder brother is married, he is always from the Zhou family? If they go, we will Go together, if they don''t go, why should we go?"


    "Also, if Sister-in-law doesn''t go, we won''t go either." Li Qinghe looked serious, "It''s not that easy to ask for help. If nothing else, I just want to see my eldest brother and ask about the inside story. You can''t see people without money. You may not be able to see it if you put money into it. It''s impossible for us to post it, right?"


    "In fact, when my eldest brother brought Chengkang to the forest to feed the wolf, he never thought that he would beg for this younger brother. Sister-in-law didn¡¯t come in person, we would not take the initiative to do so, lest people think we are troublesome. ."


    Mentioning the childhood incident again, Zhou''s mother''s face paled, "I blamed me for that. For a mother, a child in the world, the eldest child at that time actually didn''t understand it, because I didn''t like the fourth child... now it is not. When talking about this, find the boss first, and then we will talk about it, okay?"


    "You said you want Meihua to come in person, I''ll go now." She turned and hurried away.


    Originally, when you ask for someone, you have to beg for someone. What is the matter if the old mother comes forward for everything?


    If Mei really came to invite Li Qinghe, it didn''t matter, Zhang Haiyao would definitely sneer. Since Lady Liu died, her eyes were high, and these concubines were no one in her eyes. Now that Boss Zhou has something wrong, she hasn''t come forward yet, waiting for these people to take the initiative to help?


    It''s beautiful!


    Mei''s came really fast, with a sincere attitude, "Fourth brother, this time I really trouble you to help. Second brother and third brother, I''ve talked about them, and they will also go together."


    "It''s just another thing," she was a little embarrassed. "I didn''t plan to go because Healy was at home and I have to take care of the children. Now if I go, can Healy be sent to you?"


    "Don''t!" Li Qinghe raised his hand and refused, "If Xili is not optimistic about something wrong, then you can''t say that we deliberately retaliate? Let Sansao show it to you."


    Mei''s face was pale, "The third sibling said she wants to go too."


    "What about Xiwei?" Li Qinghe asked in surprise, "Isn''t it also sent here?"


    No wonder she asked, it takes two days away from the county seat, and adults find it hard, not to mention children. What''s more, I don''t know when this case will be tried until it is delayed. It is impossible to say one or two months, but one or two years are possible.


    "She wants to take Xiwei with her." Speaking of this, Mei''s complexion was not very good. She was obviously going to save people, but Zhang Haiyao made it seem like she was going back to her family.


    Just go back to my family!


    Since the Zhang family moved to the county seat, she hasn''t been there once in the past few years. She occasionally receives news from there. Maybe the Zhang family is doing well recently, and sometimes they send her things.


    "Then you''d better take it with you," Li Qinghe said calmly, "it is inevitable that the children will bump into each other together, lest you worry, I don''t have to bother."


    In the afternoon, a wagon full of talents packed up and set off. After sending people away, Li Qinghe had to go back to Zhou''s yard to help Zhang Haiyao feed the chickens.


    This chicken has been fed by Zhou Laosan since he had a child, and he specially fed the child eggs. I went back all the time. She also stopped by the Li''s house. I met a lot of people on the way. Many people were curious to ask her: How is the boss?


    Li Qinghe only answered that he didn''t know.


    She really didn''t know.


    If it can be proved that Boss Zhou did not participate, it would be okay, if no evidence can be found to prove his innocence, and the two people over there insist on saying that if he participates, maybe he will pay for his life, then it really won''t come back.


    Everyone in the village knows that the Zhou brothers have gone to the county town to find a way. It is slack in the farming industry and the weather is good. Every family is busy cutting firewood, and some go out to do part-time jobs. Someone also asked if Li Qinghe''s family had anything to help lately.


    Yu Yan came this day. Her son did look good, with fair skin, comparable to Xiwei, and at first glance he was a handsome little girl.


    "Do you want to buy the land over there?" Yu Yan asked with a smile.


    She asked about the wasteland of the Yang family and the barren slopes. Li Qinghe shook his head, "I won''t buy it for now. The 40 acres behind me are still filling in silver." I''ll wait until the medicinal materials can be recovered to earn money.


    "Yesterday the mother and daughter begged me to come to me." Yu Yan smiled, "Said that the people in the town chase them so hard, and that they will be sent to the dirty place if they don''t."


    This is also normal. Whatever causes and results, this is a debt owed by Xu Changjie, and they will definitely not be let go.


    No one really bought the wasteland. Even if it was made into Li Qinghe''s terraced land, it would barely have a harvest. However, the human and financial resources invested in it are not at all, and no one in this village can afford it.


    Within two days, Li Qinghe heard the news. Yang Lanrou went to the mayor and asked him to write a letter for Xu¡¯s family and leave the village for her, and then took her mother out of the village. No one knew where she went.


    As for the barren slopes, ponds, and land, they are all handed over to the mayor to help him make peace, hoping that the creditor will receive these things and the account will be written off.


    The mother and daughter ran away, and the creditor had to admit it if he didn''t want it.


    It is worth mentioning that the pond is a gift from Yang Lanrou for helping the mayor, and the wasteland and slopes are the debts of the Yang family. When Xu Changjie bought the land, he imitated Zhou Chengkang and wrote Huangpo''s wife''s name. Otherwise, the ten acres of Huangpo would still be handed in, and the debt would not be paid here. It is equivalent to borrowing ten taels of silver to buy a barren slope. After that, you have to buy four acres of land before you can count the debt.


    In fact, if Yang''s father operated it himself, he would not necessarily get to this point. The main reason was that he hadn''t counted the stingy of a woman of Xu''s mother. It was true that those people had a handle, but they couldn''t make people anxious. There is a degree during this period, which must be measured. Father Yang can do it, Mother Xu can''t.


    Zhou Chengkang and the others really went there for more than a month this time, and when they came back they finally brought with them the much thinner Zhou boss.


    It was May when I came back, and the weather was hot. When Zhou Chengkang got home, he washed up. The food was already on the table. After eating two bowls, he sighed, "It''s still comfortable at home."


    Li Qinghe poured tea for him and asked with a smile, "How? Isn''t he troublesome?"


    "Trouble." Zhou Chengkang took the tea. "The two men did not let go. The county magistrate interrogated them every day. Later, they found out that when they started the murderer, their confessions were not right. This cleared the suspicion for the older brother."


    I haven''t seen each other for nearly two months. Zhou Chengkang feels that not only his daughter-in-law looks better, but even Xiyu seems to be a bit taller. The most important thing is that she is tanned.


    It was as black as a piece of charcoal, and he couldn''t react for a long time when he saw it, "Xie Yu, what''s wrong with you?"


    Speaking of this, Li Qinghe was helpless. Yu Yan at the back told her son that the boy¡¯s face was too pale, so the two children ran away to bask in the sun when they were free. Xiyu was okay, Yan''er¡¯s face was peeling. Success was dark, and it hurt for several days.


    "Father, it looks so good." Xi Yu is serious.


    The children''s aesthetics is really different, Zhou Chengkang sternly said, "Starting tomorrow, practice calligraphy."


    I''ve been playing crazy for the past two months, okay? I practiced writing when I remembered, and I didn''t rub ink all day when I didn''t remember it.


    Xi Yu nodded hurriedly, "Okay! Let''s be together."


    together?


    The next day the father and son really spread out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and began to practice calligraphy. After half a day, they have already found the feeling, written well, and have time. Zhou Chengkang said, "We still have to take Dr. Huang, let¡¯s pass by. Study medicine..."


    Just as he was talking, someone knocked on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw Mei, "I will have dinner tonight. These days, thanks to my fourth brother, thank you very much."


    Mei''s also lost a lot of weight, and his eyebrows were a little haggard, but his eyes were bright.


    Since the couple moved to the town, they have not invited them to dinner for several years. I still have to go. I helped me decently. I don''t feel bad about eating this meal.


    When the two went to the village, Li Qinghe asked curiously, "Do they spend a lot of money?"

 Chapter 118：

    Anyway, the silver that Zhou Chengkang brought with him bought snacks and fabric embroidery thread for her and her children.


    "It''s a lot of money." Zhou Chengkang led Xi Yu and whispered, "So many people live in the inn eating and drinking Lazar, and all the silver that the older brother picked up was returned. Because some of them were bought by them. After buying jewelry, my sister-in-law went to buy jewelry. It is said that she bought it for seven or eight taels of silver. In the end, she got four taels of silver. It took about 20 taels before and after."


    "They should have a lot left earlier, and later they sold the yard..."


    Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "Should there be more left?"


    "Even if there are leftovers, there shouldn''t be too many." Zhou Chengkang said casually, "They have craftsmanship. As long as the guys are still there, they will definitely not die of starvation."


    This is also true, that tofu can make a lot of money in a year.


    The atmosphere was not bad, and Mei was very happy. Although the money was spent, he was saved. Zhang Haiyao was also very happy. This time she went to the county seat from the Zhang family and stayed home for two days, and then she could continue to come and go again. Li Qingmiao doesn''t matter, but it''s always good to come back safely after having been there for nearly two months. The only unhappy person is probably Zhou Boss.


    He huddled in the corner and ate silently. He didn''t say much, gobbled it up, his whole body was much thinner, and he should have suffered a lot.


    When someone asks, he just answers and never speaks actively.


    It doesn''t matter if you don''t like to talk, but after so much effort to save people back, there is no thank you, and my heart is always frustrated.


    However, this is my elder brother, what else can I do?


    At most, there will be less contact in the future.


    After a meal, Li Qinghe helped clean up the dishes, and then planned to go home.


    However, there was a sudden quarrel in the main room. It was Zhou''s mother''s voice, angrily and puzzled, "No, what are you doing if you don''t go?"


    Then there was Boss Zhou¡¯s rough voice, ¡°I¡¯m farming. Anyway, after the separation, those lands are enough to feed our family.¡±


    When the two of Li Qinghe came in, they saw Mei''s face in the house crying, and Xili beside him was also shocked. This child has been taken by Mei''s recently. After going to the county town, so many people together did not treat him badly. He was also infected with that kind of nervous atmosphere. At this time, he was so scared to cry, his eyes were red.


    When Mei met, he hugged him, and the mother and son began to cry.


    "What''s wrong?" Zhou Chengkang asked aloud, "It''s a good thing that the eldest brother is back. This time it''s a life of nine deaths, so you can live a good life in the future."


    I haven''t said this before. Fortunately, it was Lin Zhixian who met with Zhou Chengkang as security. Zhou Chengwen must have not killed anyone. This will be the thorough investigation. If a county magistrate who is not so patient is replaced, with the idea that he would rather kill by mistake than let it go, Boss Zhou will not be able to return at all.


    You know, those two robbers were sentenced to be executed at the end of Autumn. If Lin Zhixian hadn''t been sitting on it, he was already in death row waiting for the autumn to be executed.


    Still not allowed to collect corpses!


    Boss Zhou originally stood at the table with a serious face and confronted Zhou''s mother, but suddenly squatted down, holding his head and crying.


    The family of three cried, and Zhou''s eyes were red.


    Zhang Haiyao quietly touched Li Qinghe''s side and said in a low voice, "Just now, my sister-in-law explained that I started selling tofu in the morning, and my eldest brother is not willing."


    Boss Zhou over there howled, "As soon as I went to the street, so many people stared at me! Some even came up and asked me if I had murdered? They said I had been in prison for two months...I can''t bear it, people They say I am a thief!"


    Hearing what he said, Li Qinghe realized that he probably couldn''t accept everyone''s strange gazes.


    But in fact, people are just curious.


    Live your own life, just after a while.


    She thinks so, and Zhou''s mother over there has already said so, "It''s just that I am going to make you out. It''s not that I want to force you out, but if you don''t go out, others will be more curious to ask questions. If they ask, you just say it. That thick-skinned man, who has been in prison for two months, is still a boastful capital. Why is it so difficult to accept when he gets here?"


    "When you picked up those packs of silver in the first place, didn''t you think there would be today?"


    "Don''t mention the silver." Elder Zhou shouted loudly, "The thing I regret most in my life is picking up those packages of silver!"


    "You regret that things have happened, and I didn''t ask you to pick them up." Zhou Mu was not afraid of him, "what''s the use of you being murderous with me? Have the ability to go out and be brutal at others by yourself!"


    She looked at the mother and son who were crying in their arms, and scolded, "Mei Hua, you make tofu for him tomorrow morning. If you don''t go, get out of me. See if you have nothing to eat or drink, do you want Face? It¡¯s just idle for me to see!"


    Li Qinghe secretly backed out and went home.


    "Big Brother is still embarrassed?" I was quite surprised.


    But on another thought, the matter did not fall to him, no one could say that he was hypocritical. After all, two months in jail for the simple village, whether he is really guilty or not, is a piece of talk. And in the eyes of the villagers, there are no good people who are in prison.


    "It will be fine after a while." Zhou Chengkang disapproved.


    Zhou Mu''s words were correct, he didn''t want to go, it was before the end of the mountain and water.


    The more at this time, the more magnanimous they must be. According to their previous intentions, they would like to send Xili to study in the town in the future. If Zhou Boss is now guilty, Xili will inevitably be a little eye-catching when he is in town. Besides, if you just farm the land, it would be very difficult to support a scholar.


    The more open he is now, the less there will be no discussion in the future.


    The next morning, because Zhou Chengkang did not come back for a long time, many things in the house needed to be purchased. The two went to the town early in the morning. When they left the village, they happened to meet Zhou''s boss who was so slow and unwilling to go. The carriage came, and he hurriedly waved, "Old fourth, take me for a ride."


    When others came up, Li Qinghe asked curiously, "Where is your carriage?"


    Boss Zhou was silent, "Sold it."


    In fact, she can¡¯t be blamed. Zhou Chengkang hasn¡¯t talked about it yet. In fact, when the husband and wife are alone, they don¡¯t talk about other people¡¯s homes, especially the two of them. They are not happy with each other. When talking about this, it¡¯s not a problem for themselves. ?


    Seeing him walking on the road now, Li Qinghe just asked casually. Seeing that Boss Zhou''s complexion was not so good, she knew that she had said the wrong thing, and she was really embarrassed in the carriage. She even touched the outside to sit with the father and son.


    When he arrived at the town¡¯s entrance, he let down the people. Zhou Chengkang saved the carriage and took his wife and children to the street. Today¡¯s big fair, the town is very lively, and the autumn harvest will start in a while. Now these people are busy preparing farm tools. Quite lively.


    The family of three went shopping for half a day, bought things, and went to the jewelry shop in the town. It''s not for shopping, but Xu''s side asks them to send back a few letters every year.


    Sometimes Li Qinghe would stop by when he came to town, and this time it was true.


    Take it over and open it. Xu said in the letter that after the autumn harvest, she will take Bin''er back to live for a while.


    Since she left the town, the mother and daughter have not seen each other for several years, and Li Qinghe missed it a little. The guy greeted them to look at the jewellery. The two refused with a smile. When Zhou Chengkang came back earlier, he helped her bring some, and the town was worse in terms of workmanship and style than in the county.


    After going out, the family of three plans to go home. It is now noon, and there are a lot fewer people on the street. The two arrived at the entrance of the town and hugged Xiyu into the carriage. Li Qinghe circumvented the carriage from the other side. Suddenly saw a person squatting in front of her when she circumvented the carriage. She was so frightened that her heart was beating, clutching her chest to see clearly in front of her. People, she was a little speechless, "Brother, why are you still here?"


    Wasn''t it the boss squatting behind the carriage? The two buckets of tofu next to him were really full and didn''t move at all.


    "I..." Boss Zhou grabbed his hair, "I dare not go over."


    Zhou Chengkang stretched out his hand to pull him, "Actually, you are too worried, there are really not so many people who know you." He picked up tofu and took him to the town''s mouth. At this time, many people have to go home, and many people pass by. Seeing the tofu all around, after a few breaths, he sold half a bucket.


    However, some people found out that it was Boss Zhou and asked him with a smile, "Is it all right? They say that there is no bed in the prison, is it true?"


    Just curious, not malicious.


    Boss Zhou felt better. Besides, what he had learned to do in business was to welcome people with a smile, not to be stern, and grinned reluctantly, and said, "If you don''t have a bed, just sleep on hay."


    Hearing this, the people around shook their heads, "That can be a crime, but fortunately it is summer. If it is winter, wouldn''t it be cold to death?"


    Zhou Chengkang only helped him a few breaths before returning home with his wife and children.


    In the following days, Boss Zhou went there every day, from the embarrassment at the beginning to the calmness later. After a long time, I found that his mother''s words were correct. People asked and asked, and their curiosity was satisfied, so they didn''t ask.


    In a blink of an eye, in mid-July, the villagers began to dig sweet potatoes. This thing is indeed full, but it is also strenuous and has to be digged out of the soil one by one. The advantage is that the excavated soil has been turned over.


    Li Qinghe still invites people, because they can''t do much.


    Busy, the autumn harvest is over, the cellars and warehouses of each house are full, in fact, after the sweet potatoes, no one in the village is really hungry. Even the neighboring town, or even the neighboring county, can fill up the stomach even in difficulties with sweet potatoes.


    The farmers have worked hard for a year, but in fact, it is to fill their stomachs.


    In the autumn evening, Xu''s carriage arrived.


    After a few years of goodbye, Xu''s eye corners have a few more wrinkles, and Bin''er has grown taller, and there seems to be no change.


    It was already night when they arrived. Taking advantage of the moonlight to enter the door, Xu sent away the coachman, leaving behind a woman and Bin''er''s book boy.


    Let Chen prepare hot water for them to wash, and then go to the kitchen to cook for them.


    After washing, Xu''s muslin shirt leaned against the kitchen door, smiling as she watched her cooking, "Qinghe, I can''t help you."


    Li Qinghe was startled and couldn''t help but laugh, "Mother, why would you say that?"


    Xu did not answer this, smiling, "Fortunately, seeing you are doing well, I am relieved."


    I can¡¯t answer this. The mother and daughter have not seen each other for a few years and they are very close. When they say this, Li Qinghe broke the topic and asked with a smile, "How long do you plan to stay?"


    "What? I''m going to chase me away as soon as I arrive?" Xu asked with a smile. After the question, he became more serious. "In the future, I may live in the village instead of the county seat."

 Chapter 119：

    Why didn''t you go?


    It''s not that she dislikes her mother, but that there is still a child between the Xu family and the Zhang family, which can''t be cut off casually.


    "They all agreed to come back this time." Xu smiled, "I originally said that I would stay with you for a while, who knows a few days ago... the concubine that the lady helped the master was pregnant. "


    Concubine again?


    "When did you take a concubine?" Li Qinghe couldn''t help asking, "I didn''t listen to Sansao."


    If they were there, Zhang Haiyao wouldn''t make sense.


    "Just when they left, they took a concubine here. At that time, I wrote and said that there was a reason to live for a while, and the reason was because I really missed you. Who knows that the plan is not as fast as the change, when I am leaving. A few days, I just found out that I was pregnant, and then the master said to let me live for a while." Xu''s face was calm, "Maybe he won''t want to pick me up. I asked for more money, enough for Bin''er to study. After two years, I will send him to participate in the county test."


    Li Qinghe didn''t know what to say for a while, so he just got the food, so he asked Chen to help bring it into the house. He didn''t say this during the meal. It was getting late, so let them stay first.


    Xu has been in the Zhang family for many years, even if he used it at the beginning, he should have feelings for getting along for so many years. But I didn''t expect the heart to change easily, and men love sex. After that, he was pregnant. Master Zhang is a good old man, and he will definitely look after the young in the future.


    Xu''s sadness is probably due to Master Zhang''s suspicion of her. He put it nicely and asked her to live more. In fact, he was still afraid that she would do something to the woman in Zhang''s house.


    It is autumn. The next morning, Zhou Chengkang took Xiyu up the mountain to hunt as usual. This time, he also took Bin''er and watched them leave. Xu smiled, "Bin''er has been studying hard for the past two years and has always been sitting in the house. I''m afraid he hurts his body, so it''s okay to go out and get around."


    Xu changed the silk and satin on her body and helped her feed the chickens and fishes. After a long time, she was quite unskilled. Li Qinghe still taught her.


    Every family was busy cutting firewood in the autumn. Since the accident of those people invited by the Xu family, everyone has paid much attention to the people who came to the village. It happened to be dark when the Xu family came, and there were people enjoying the coolness at the entrance of the village seeing the carriage. Come in, but don''t know who is inside. Later, when I watched the carriage arrive here, I saw the Xu family again, and many people knew it right now. After Xu moved to the county seat, he came back to see his daughter.


    Unexpectedly, after this stay, there is no posture to go.


    But on another thought, it takes five days to go back and forth in the county, and it''s normal to live longer.


    The Xu family is not too much. The wife and Bin''er''s book boy she brought with him will help with the work. Li Qinghe has taken some time off. She woke up that morning, slightly chilly, and was wearing clothes thinking about it for a while. It''s breakfast, and I suddenly feel sick.


    Li Qinghe was surprised at first, and glanced at Zhou Chengkang, who was already dressing in the room, and saw the surprise in each other''s eyes: No way!


    He immediately set up a carriage and drove her to the town to find Doctor Huang for her pulse, and she was pregnant.


    In fact, neither of them thought about having children, Xiyu is enough. But now that the child came, he didn''t want to send him away.


    As early as when they came, the two had a hunch, so the carriage did not go fast, and the way back was even slower. Although he had given birth to a child, Zhou Chengkang did not want to have another child. Having a child represented danger, and he didn''t want her to be in danger. Quite silent along the way, when she got off the carriage at home, she whispered, "Qinghe, you must be fine."


    "I will be fine." Li Qinghe laughed, "I can''t bear you and Xiyu."


    Li Qinghe was pregnant again, and the Xu family was very happy when she found out, "A child is too lonely, and it just so happens that Xiyu is big enough to be a brother."


    As he was talking, Zhou Mu arrived, "I heard that you went to town today. I still want to go to town, so I didn''t ask me."


    When I went to Zhou''s house in the town before, I did stop and ask. But today is different. Zhou Chengkang was nervous all the way. Besides, the carriage was already fast, and it was already out of the village with a flash of mind, and it was too late to ask.


    Zhou Chengkang said casually, "I will send you to another day."


    Seeing his perfunctory tone, Zhou''s mother asked, "What''s wrong? What''s wrong? You seem to be upset."


    Xu Shi smiled and stepped forward, "It is true that something has happened, but it is a good thing, Qinghe is pregnant."


    "Yeah!" Mother Zhou clapped her hands in surprise, "Sure enough, it''s a good thing. I''ll go back and grab a chicken to make up for Qinghe." Happily, he turned and left.


    After a quarter of an hour, Zhou¡¯s mother brought a chicken, went to the kitchen and took the knife and started to kill. ¡°You have to make up for it, you can eat more children to grow well, or else it¡¯s like Xili, who is still sick when she is so old. I caught a cold two days ago, and I am still drinking medicine."


    "That''s quite right." Xu answered, "If this adult eats well, the child can grow well."


    Zhou Mu smiled and nodded, "From now on, I will bother my mother-in-law, help me stare at her."


    Xu smiled, "I''ll see you, Qinghe, my daughter, my grandson in her belly, I will take care of it."


    Li Qinghe stood aside, feeling inexplicably that there seemed to be something wrong with the dialogue between the two.


    After the chicken soup was simmered, Zhou''s mother really stared at Li Qinghe for two bowls before returning.


    Xu sat across from her and watched with a smile, "When I gave birth to you, your milk was like this, but when I was born I found out that you were a girl. She was a little disappointed. But when I turned back, I told people that the flowers first bloom and then bear fruit. Not bad. I also asked me to have another one..."


    She looked out the window, in a daze, "Actually, life has been like this. With you and Bin''er, I have never regretted it."


    Li Qinghe was pregnant and stopped working at all. It is that Zhou Chengkang is absent occasionally, and all the work outside the home is done by the woman who Chen and Xu brought back.


    Mother Zhou came here twice in three days, sometimes just sitting and sitting. It was getting colder and colder outside. Li Qinghe started to make shoes. Xu Shi was learning embroidering with Yu Yan recently, and she too. What she learned was only embroidery patterns. Clothes for children.


    The weather was getting colder. On this day, Xu took Bin''er to town, and Zhou Chengkang sent them there. Zhou''s mother came.


    She has been coming frequently recently, and Li Qinghe is not surprised. Seeing her enter the door, he smiled and said, "It just happens to have lunch. Mother will come back after eating later."


    Zhou Mu responded with a smile, sat across from her, looked around, got up again and closed the door. There is a posture to whisper.


    Li Qinghe watched her series of actions, "Mother has something to say bluntly, no one will listen to her intentionally."


    This is not a lie. Whether it is Chen or Zhang, she has no habit of standing outside the window and listening to gossip. There is so much work outside of home, enough for them to be busy.


    Mother Zhou looked at her, "Qinghe, tell me honestly, how long will your mother stay?"


    "I don''t know." Li Qinghe said casually, carefully sewing the shoes in his hands.


    "I don''t know?" Mother Zhou frowned. "She won''t stay here forever?" The voice was loud.


    Li Qinghe raised her eyebrows and asked, "She just stayed here forever, what''s wrong?"


    "You are a married girl, you are not a cumbersome, how can you make your mother..." She has a bitter face, "If this couple has someone else in the middle of their lives, they will have a bad life. Your eldest brother in front of them is, The Liu lady caught in it is like a shit-chucking stick..."


    Li Qinghe put down his shoes, "My mother is different from her."


    Zhou''s mother was interrupted, a little unhappy, "What''s the difference?"


    The Liu Pozi was squeezing the boss of Zhou and helping her to make money. The Xu family only subsidized them and never asked for anything in return. "Mother, there are some things you don''t know. When my mother left, she gave us more than twenty taels." Li Qinghe''s tone became colder, "more than twenty taels, is it enough to provide her for the elderly?"


    Mother Zhou was dumb, "Her money is easy..."


    Hearing this, Li Qinghe was really angry, and his face sank, "No matter how much money my mother has, it is all hers. If she is willing to give it to me, I must remember this sentiment, and I can''t live without a conscience."


    Most of Xu''s silver was given by the Zhang family, but it was also exchanged for her love with Master Zhang, Master Zhang would give it, purely for Bin''er''s sake, not for her Li Qinghe.


    Seeing her angry, Zhou¡¯s mother couldn¡¯t say anything. She said for a while, ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. If you want to keep her, keep it. I won¡¯t say anything. You have a child in your stomach now. Thinking of the child. Being angry is not good for the child."


    Li Qinghe didn¡¯t look at her, and picked up the shoes again. ¡°If you¡¯re fine, you can make a body suit for yourself, or for a few children. Don¡¯t think about this mess. Chengkang and I will have a good life. You come to worry."


    These words were very heavy, Zhou Mu''s complexion paled slightly, "I am also for your good."


    She immediately answered, "We can have a good time without you worrying about it."


    If the Xu family really affects them, Li Qinghe will not keep her living. Whether a person is sincere or not, I feel the most.


    Zhou''s mother left in despair, Li Qinghe ignored it, and some bottom lines could not be retreated. For example, she had the final say on who to stay in this family, and no one wanted to intervene.


    They took Dr. Huang¡¯s grandson over. Mother Zhou also said that she didn¡¯t want to think about it. How much money would it cost to hire a master seriously? Now just give some food and drink, you can have a master, can they take advantage?


    Besides, the two of them don''t have to read what they read, as long as they can read characters, the most important thing is to understand some common medical principles.


    This is probably due to a different mentality and cannot be changed.


    In the afternoon, Xu''s mother and son came back and walked in with a smile, "Qinghe, I bought dim sum for you." Carrying the dim sum into the door, opened the door for her to eat, and said, "I bought the empty yard next door, let me clean it up. Try to move in to live in the year before."


    Hearing this, Li Qinghe was stunned. If it weren''t for confirming that she had been in the town just now, he would suspect that she had heard Zhou Mu''s words and thought about it before moving out.


    Seeing her startled, Xu laughed, "I have been here for a month, and there is no news from the county seat. I feel that this time it may be true. I have to live for a year or not. Picked me up...I still have to give myself a way out. The yard over there is my own name, and then my roots will be my roots. It¡¯s nice to be close to you."

 Chapter 120：

    A tall wall was built to separate the Yang family''s yard from their home, and Zhou Chengkang had planted thorns on the road left by the carriage. Now it is almost impossible to pass.


    But if the Xu family lived there, he would definitely have to cut the thorns again in the future. Maybe he could use blue bricks to enclose all the remaining spots, and then open a door in the middle.


    The next day the weather was good and there was rare sunshine. Li Qinghe and Xu Shi went to see the yard over there. The yard was just built two years ago, but it seemed a little barren without anyone to live recently, and it really needed someone to take care of it.


    But after taking care of it, it must be much better than the house in the village.


    As they passed, Xu''s purchase of the Yang family''s house also spread. Many people sighed: This is a profit!


    Of course, some people say sour words: good looks means taking advantage.


    Everyone in the village knows that the Yang family¡¯s house is good, but no one has enough money to buy it, but if they have enough money, they may not want the place anymore. After all, it is a little far away from the village.


    For Xu, staying away from the village is better for her. Although she used to be from Wangcun Village, she has long been unfamiliar with the villagers after she has been away for many years.


    The yard was pretty good, and no outsiders were invited, so they let Yu Ermo and his wife take care of it for a few days. After shoveling the weeds in the yard, the vegetable field in the backyard looked quite regular.


    After picking a day, Xu moved in. It is winter now, and she also specially entertained the villagers and officially settled down.


    The moving house was very lively. Li Qinghe was pregnant, and Xu didn''t want her to help him, so he was afraid that he would knock her and let her rest in the house.


    Yes, don''t look so close. Xu also prepared a room for her, and the quilt and curtain inside were pink, which was pretty girly.


    Most of the people in the village came, and Li Fu came too, but he was calm, bringing the Liu family together, and outsiders felt embarrassed. He didn''t think it himself, he smiled and said, "There is her mother living next to Qinghe, and I am relieved. The group of people who originally lived was not good at first sight. I couldn''t sleep for the whole night, and then something happened. It''s great now."


    There were people from the Xu family, but the Xu family only regarded them as ordinary neighbors living in a village and were not close. The Xu family actually blamed her for leaving her daughter to go to the town to be a concubine, mainly because she ruined the Xu family¡¯s reputation. Seeing that she wasn''t close, she didn''t move forward at all, just so lightly.


    Li Qinghe was talking to someone in the house. Just when she heard the kitchen saying that the basin was not enough, she got up and took it. After walking a few steps out of the yard, Zhou Mu chased him up, "Qinghe."


    "Did you tell your mother what I told you that day?" She lowered her voice, and reached out to support her.


    Li Qinghe was not used to being so close to her, and stepped away, "No, originally my mother didn''t plan to live with us for a long time."


    "I thought about it earlier. With so much talent, she won''t treat you badly even if she lives with you."


    Listening to this, I always feel something is wrong. Li Qinghe waved his hand, "I''ll go back to get the basin, you don''t need to be with me."


    The housewarming went well, and Xu officially moved in. The weather is getting cold gradually, and when the New Year comes, no one comes from the county seat. Li Qinghe went and picked her up to celebrate the New Year together. This year, Zhou¡¯s family really didn¡¯t celebrate the New Year together.


    In the second year of the junior high school, the Wumei couple came with gifts, and Zhang Haiyao and Li Qingmiao also came. Mei''s also came, anyway, everyone gets along lightly, without the previous tit-for-tat, after all, everyone has his own life.


    Bin''er Dekong would go up the mountain with Zhou Chengkang and occasionally help their family with work. The siblings are getting more and more familiar with each other.


    After the new year, the families were busy with spring plowing, and the Xu family had no land, so she was not in a hurry, and stewed soup for her daughter all day long.


    The scenery in spring is the best, especially in March. After the spring ploughing of each family is finished, they are also free. Now each family often runs to the surrounding forests and collects medicines and sells them. If you are lucky, it is no worse than a part-time job.


    On such a spring afternoon, a carriage came from the county seat and went straight to Li Qinghe''s house. It was not Wu Li, but Master Zhang.


    In two lifetimes, Li Qinghe has never seen him a few times. He opened the door and saw him, but he was quite surprised, "You are looking for my mother?"


    "Yes, I have never been free," Master Zhang rubbed his hands, "I want to come and see Bin''er."


    I heard from Xu that after the Zhang family moved to the county seat, the business grew bigger and bigger. Whether he was watching Xu or the children, maybe he couldn''t tell, Li Qinghe closed the door, "Now my mother lives by herself, I will take you there."


    From here, after a few breaths, he reached the yard next door. Xu opened the door and saw that it was them. Now Li Qinghe had a pot belly. Xu hurriedly pulled her into the door. After being silent, he looked at Master Zhang and turned sideways, "Come in. Right."


    Master Zhang stepped in, looked around and sighed, "You have suffered."


    "It''s not bitter." Xu''s laughed, "It''s pretty good here. By the way, how is Aunt Yu now?"


    After hearing this, Master Zhang sighed, "I fell and lost my baby a few days ago, and he was killed and killed."


    Li Qinghe was surprised, and couldn''t help standing a little more firmly.


    Xu seemed not surprised. He squinted at the sky in the yard and said, "I was pregnant with Bin''er, and when I was about to give birth, I also slipped a bit. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to stand firm and our mother and son were safe."


    The corners of Master Zhang''s lips moved, "Do you want to go back? I will take you back with you."


    "No need." Xu looked at him, "All these years, the only thing I owe is my daughter, and I want to be with her. Master, there are always new people by your side, and my daughter is only my mother."


    Li Qinghe quietly entered the door, and at a glance he saw Bin''er leaning against the window and peeking out. Seeing her entering the door, he hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and helped her cushion her chair, "Sister sit down."


    Li Qinghe looked at him with a smile, "Your father is here to pick you up."


    Bin''er looked outside and lowered her voice, "Actually, I don''t want to go back. There are a lot of things in the house and there are many people. There are only three concubines in my father''s concubine room. This is pretty good, there are not so many people, and not so many. Rules. My eldest brother got married, and when my mother brought me back, my wife always wanted to make a marriage appointment for me. She brought up several girls. The best in the family was her niece, who was rejected by my mother."


    Is it so complicated?


    The two siblings whispered in the room, and the two outside also entered the opposite room. Half an hour later, Xu sent Master Zhang out and went straight here.


    Looking at the two brothers and sisters in the room, Master Zhang looked at Bin''er and said with a smile, "In the future, you will study hard. If you encounter difficulties, you can come to me." He went to pat his son again. Behind his shoulders, he turned around and got on the carriage and left.


    Xu took his son and stood at the door, watching his carriage go far, then turned around and smiled at his son, "Bin''er, he has divided you and your brother."


    Parents do not separate the family, it is not so much separation, as it is to drive this concubine and son out of the house.


    "It is said that a man will return to his wife if he has enough fun," Xu turned and closed the door. "This is actually reasonable."


    Seeing the two brothers and sisters puzzled, she went in and moved a box out to open it, took out the bank note and the title deed inside, smiled and said, "These are our mother and son''s. Madam is sick, very serious, the master promised later They are only with her, there will be no one else."


    In other words, it was not that Xu didn''t go back, but couldn''t go back. Sure enough, her instinct was right. Even so, it''s good to see her look as usual, and she doesn''t have emotions such as hard to hurt her heart.


    There are not many people in the village who know about Master Zhang, and Xu''s is no different from usual. In fact, as early as when she came back to buy the yard, most people guessed that she was probably sent back.


    It used to be just speculation, but now it is true. In fact, Xu''s ability to take his son home is the best ending for a woman after becoming a concubine. If you really waited for Master Zhang to die in the Zhang family, I don''t know how many years will be needed, and by that time, Mrs. Zhang will be in charge of the division of the family. How much can be divided, not just a word from her, maybe not as good as now.


    Li Qinghe was pregnant. She didn¡¯t need to do the work in the field, or even bother. Zhou Chengkang did it by herself. After spring ploughing, he started planting medicinal materials. This year I finally saved enough medicinal seeds, 40 acres of wild forest and all the land. They are all planted with medicinal materials.


    Some of them were found by Wu Li, and he took all the medicinal materials recovered last year, and the price was not bad. Seriously, planting medicinal materials is more profitable than planting grain, so I simply bought another 60 acres of barren forest next to my own forest. Zhou Chengkang has been busy with this recently.


    It is worth mentioning that Li Qinghe''s name is still written in the barren woods bought. Of course, outsiders don''t know.


    Doctor Huang went to the woods to see medicinal materials in two days, and Xiyu finally had a serious enlightened master, his uncle. Bin''er hasn''t slackened over the years. He has been sensible since he was a child, knowing his identity and mother''s embarrassment, and has always been serious. Although the county test has not been there yet, it is enough to enlighten Xiyu.


    For the villagers, it was quite unexpected that Li Qinghe and the other two bought such a barren forest. One hundred acres of barren forest is a large area. In fact, it has something to do with them, because their family has to ask people to clean up the grass, and then plant them. The first people to ask are the villagers.


    In a blink of an eye, in mid-April, the family invited people every day. Xu often came here, even Zhou Mu, and often came here, but she didn¡¯t live as before. When she got here, she also did all the work outside and at home. Help, but I will definitely go back at night.


    Now in the Zhou family¡¯s old house, there are Zhou bosses and Zhou bosses. They bump into each other and occasionally quarrel. Zhou¡¯s mother lives by herself, and the two of them only respect her. In fact, she has a good life.


    The reason why these two people often visit is because... Li Qinghe''s belly is getting bigger and bigger, maybe he is about to give birth.


    Zhou Chengkang was very nervous. The mountain forest was bought a few days ago. After running for two days and arranging people to do the work, he asked his second brother to help watch, and he stayed at home.


    On the night of spring and summer, there was still the sound of insects outside. He put his hand on her stomach, felt the movement of the child inside, and couldn''t help but smile, "Is it turning over?"


    Li Qinghe couldn''t help laughing, "I don''t know."


    "From tomorrow on, I won''t go anywhere, just guard you." Zhou Chengkang hugged her, "From now on, we really can''t have anymore. After you have given birth, I will start drinking medicine."


    "You didn''t mean you want a daughter?" Li Qinghe smiled and said, "What if he is a son? Will he be born or not?"


    "No birth!" He said seriously, "It''s not a daughter, it''s my life."

 Chapter 121： End of text

    Originally, this child was an accident. From now on, it was Zhou Chengkang who wanted to give birth. Li Qinghe would not give birth anymore. It was painful to give birth to a child. This can be tolerated, but raising a child is difficult.


    A few more, who can stand it?


    She looked at the moonlight outside and asked, "If you really are a daughter, will you not marry in the future? I can''t bear to think about it."


    "Married?" Zhou Chengkang didn''t seem to expect this, and the hands holding her belly were tight, "We don''t marry, so many places, we will build a house in the future."


    Recruiting?


    Unfortunately, he can figure it out. Li Qinghe laughed softly, and Zhou Chengkang plausibly said, "Second brother has a pretty good life."


    Indeed, Zhou Lao Er entered the family, and the Li family treated him very well. He was not as angry as the rumors of the family¡¯s son-in-law. In fact, Li Jiayin was headed by him, and most of them were willing to listen to him.


    Of course, he can stand on his own and won''t let Zhou''s mother interfere in Li''s house.


    Speaking of Zhou''s mother, no one can really control it. After these things, Zhou''s husband and wife have easily quarreled. Mei complained that he should not pick up money and empty the family. Boss Zhou didn''t think he was wrong, he still felt a sense of resignation.


    When the two quarreled, he was plausible: These disasters in the family were brought about by the Liu Po, and they should not go to the town to take over what Liu Po ??left behind. Shouldn''t want those windfalls. He was robbed first, and then he picked up money and was in jail. Just after spending all the money, he himself was fine.


    So I came to the conclusion that we can''t even get windfall!


    Since then, he has been kinder to anyone, even if there is money on the road, he will never reach out to pick it up.


    Zhou Lao Er didn''t talk about it. Zhou''s mother also thought that the son who was recruited was just like the daughter who was married. He could be relatives, but he could not cross the boundary.


    As for the couple of Zhou Lao San, Zhou Mu can say they are eating and dressing. Zhang Haiyao sometimes chokes with her. It is impossible for them to be obedient.


    As for Li Qinghe, it is even more impossible to listen to her, no matter how big or small the matter is, it is their own decision.


    The weather is getting hotter and Li Qinghe¡¯s belly is getting bigger and bigger. She has never left anyone at home. She is afraid that no one will be found after she started. Doctor Huang used to run up the mountain twice in three days, and recently moved to her house. If you don''t go to the mountain anymore, it''s famously called: Teaching Xiyu to practice calligraphy.


    To say that the pharmacology of Xiyu is similar, the practice of calligraphy is purely a joke, and only he himself can recognize the doctor''s writing of the prescription. However, Zhou Chengkang was very happy to raise their grandchildren, and didn''t have to go to town to pick up people in person.


    The clothes and swaddlings of the children in the family are all prepared, that is, the cribs after the child is born. When he mentioned the bed, Zhou Chengkang made a new one, which was much better than the craftsmanship that Xiyu had made.


    One night in May, Li Qinghe was about to go to bed, and Zhou Chengkang felt hot when she lay down.


    She stiffened, and Zhou Chengkang immediately noticed something was wrong, "What''s wrong?"


    "Maybe it''s going to be born." Li Qinghe held his stomach, already aching.


    It¡¯s not the first time to have a baby. Although Zhou Chengkang was nervous, he didn¡¯t panic. He first helped him to lie down and called Doctor Huang to get up. Then he called the Chen family outside to invite the Xu family, and asked Yu Ermo to invite him. Steady woman.


    After a few breaths, I will give orders. I don''t know how many times I have thought about these procedures in private.


    Doctor Huang took the pulse and said, "Very good, mother and son are healthy."


    Then he retreated outside. Chen was already boiling water to make tea. Tonight, he must stay up late.


    The doctor said so, but Zhou Chengkang was still nervous and shook her hand, "Will I be with you?"


    "Not good!" Li Qinghe inhaled in pain. She had given birth to a child and knew that she would be embarrassed by that time. It was really ugly.


    "You can go out soon after the wife arrives, look good on Xiyu, don''t let him run around, there is a pond outside..."


    "I know." Zhou Chengkang patted her on the shoulder quickly, "Don''t worry, I will look at Xiyu."


    Wen Po came quickly, and Zhou Chengkang had taken the time to say hello to her earlier. Soon, Xu came and stayed with her to comfort her.


    The night is getting deeper, and it is said that people who have given birth once will have a child soon. Li Qinghe doesn''t know if this is right. Anyway, when the sky is dark, she only feels light under her body. The Xu family on the side said with joy. gave birth!"


    Without waiting for her to ask, Xu helped her wipe the sweat from her forehead, "I''m a boy, and I''m very healthy by listening to the voice. Don''t worry, I will let Chengkang bring you soup in."


    Li Qinghe was a little disappointed when she heard that it was her son. She also wanted a sweet and soft girl.


    As for the soup... I wanted to go to bed when I started it last night, but it hurts all night and I couldn¡¯t squint for a while. At this time, I heard that I was born. I stayed up all day and night. Fell asleep.


    When she woke up again, the sun was shining outside the window, and it was another good weather. The **** smell and heat from last night''s breath has dissipated, and my breathing is refreshed.


    "Are you awake?" Zhou Chengkang leaned forward, "Are you hungry?"


    Li Qinghe squinted and smiled, "What should I do now? There is no girl."


    "What other girl do you want?" Zhou Chengkang leaned against her, "I will be satisfied if you are safe. Boys are also good, resist creation."


    Li Qinghe turned black, what is the reason?


    I looked at the baby boy next to him. It was very similar to Xiyu when he was a child. Hearing that she was awake, Xu came in with the soup and Xiyu followed her with her short legs.


    "I want to see my brother." He leaned on the bed and looked into the swaddle.


    Li Qinghe smiled and said, "It''s exactly the same as when you were a child, when you were so older."


    "Impossible!" Xi Yu looked at the baby in the swaddling baby, with a sure tone, with a little disgust in her tone, "Father said I''ve been a good boy since I was a child. This is too...


    Uh, where can a child who has just been born less than a day see better?


    "However, he is my brother, I will take good care of him." He said solemnly, and finally nodded, "I won''t dislike him for being ugly."


    Everyone in the room laughed.


    Zhou''s mother thanked her by the way when Mother Wen went back at dawn. The daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, and the mother-in-law didn''t know that it was almost impossible in the village. Because in the village, basically the daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law will live in the same courtyard when they come in. As for Li Qinghe, he lives a mile away from Zhou''s family, and it is normal if he doesn''t know.


    When she heard that she had another grandson, Zhou''s mother ignored the unhappiness in her heart and killed a chicken and went to the west of the village with joy.


    When she arrived, she just heard bursts of laughter in the room, "I have killed the chicken, and it will be stewed for a while. You need to drink more during the confinement period and stay behind."


    Li Qinghe has a natural attitude towards Zhou Mu. Anyway, it is enough to respect her like Zhou''s boss.


    Li Fu and Zhou¡¯s mother arrived at about the same time, and the Liu family also came, carrying two chickens, one killed the other but not killed, and smiled, "I also said that neither of them will be killed. You should be stewed here. It''s soup, and the weather can''t help it. As a result, your father was so happy to hear the news. I wiped my neck when I found out..."


    Xu looked at it with a smile, and Zhou Mu stepped forward to take it.


    Liu Shi and Xu Shi met occasionally, and each time they were a little embarrassed. Liu Shi was a little lacking in confidence in front of her.


    For many years, Xu''s pampered, black hair, fair skin, and if it weren''t for the fine lines on the face, people believed that she and Li Qinghe were sisters. Look at the Liu family again, dressed in a fine cloth shirt and casually wrapped in cloth. At first glance, she is a woman in her forties. The two are really like people of the same age.


    But in fact, the difference between the two also means that Xu and Li Fu will never go back to the past.


    A woman like Liu who can take care of others and take care of housework is suitable for Li Fu. Don¡¯t think that Xu was the daughter-in-law chosen by Li Kui and his wife. If they choose now, they will definitely choose Liu. .


    But one day, the news of Li Qinghe''s childbearing spread out, and most of the villagers knew about it.


    It was very lively during Xisan. In fact, the two children were born a few years apart, but Li Qinghe''s reputation in the village was quite different. When Xiyu was born, everyone in the village knew that her pond was making money and life was easy. But a few years later, Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe can now buy a hundred acres of barren forest on the back mountain. From time to time there are masters from the county town to buy their medicinal materials. The pond that everyone thought was the most profitable at the time is no longer a big deal. .


    Without exception, the couple are already well-known wealthy households in Wangcun and even the town.


    The banquet for the washing three was well organized. There were nearly 20 tables in the yard, and basically everyone who knew their family came.


    On the second day of washing the third day, a carriage came again at the entrance of the village, asking for directions, and people looking for Min Rui.


    The horse-drawn carriage was rich and rich, and many people in the village talked about it, but in half a day, Yu Yan and his wife sent them away. Recently, she often comes to talk with Li Qinghe.


    "It''s his father who came." Yu Yan smiled, "Min''s family is in the next county town. There are still some wealth in the family. Min Rui told me that he is the **** in the family, and he is sold as soon as he wakes up. When I arrived in a private mine, I worked day and night. If I didn¡¯t do it, I would be beaten if I didn¡¯t work. It¡¯s normal to have the bones hard to kill. Later, the private mine was informed and the yamen discovered it, but it was decapitating. Serious sin. The mine head sneaked away with them and sold them all the way. When he got outside our village, he wanted to run again. The mine head beat him with a whip, and then he didn''t want him... This time he came to pick us up. Go back."


    Without looking in the mirror, Li Qinghe also knew that his face must be surprised, and couldn''t help asking, "You want to go?"


    Yu Yan smiled and said, "I''m leaving. The woman threw Min Rui out for the family property. If he didn''t meet me, he would be dead. Even if we don''t dispute the family property, we should go back and get revenge." , The tone has been ruthless.


    Li Qinghe hesitated to speak and then stopped, asking in the end, "But your identity..."


    If Min Rui is really a rich son, Yu Yan''s identity should be better, or she will definitely be upset.


    "My identity?" Yu Yan smiled, "Actually, I am almost the same as him, but my father is gone and I don''t want to go back anymore. If you really talk about it, it doesn''t matter who is high."


    "I''m here, one is goodbye, second, please help me take care of my godfather and godmother, I let them move in. That house is my name, and we will be back for three years at most."


    They really said to leave, and there was a carriage coming to pick them up within two days. Many people watched the excitement, but the only ones who really saw off were the three aunts and Li Qinghe''s family of four.


    Seeing the carriage drifting away, Li Qinghe looked at the people next to him, squinted and smiled.


    In this world, people live a lifetime, and many people come and go. They are all travelers in their lives. But only the people who are by your side will always be with you, hand in hand to grow old together.


    As the carriage walked away, Zhou Chengkang supported her shoulders, "The wind is strong, you are still in confinement, let''s go back."


    The little friend left, Xiyu was a little unhappy, pouting and turning around, "I''m back with my brother."


    In the sun, a family of three went home, and the breeze blew, the tall man held the thin woman tighter, and the children on the side bounced around in circles, like a picture scroll. Not far away, there was a woman holding the baby at the door, seeing them coming back, urging, "Hurry up, the child is hungry."


    Postscript: In Wang Village of Luoyue Town, there is Zhou''s family, who bought many barren forests to plant medicinal materials. Later, the whole Luoyue Town was planted with medicinal materials. It is quite famous throughout Shunguo. After a few decades, There is a record in the history books of Shun Kingdom: Zhou and his wife Suri are most fond of studying the method of planting. His wife Li¡¯s Qinghe first discovered the method of planting sweet potatoes, planting countless medicinal materials, benefiting the people, the home of great goodness!
