"Why are you here, daughter-in-law?" Lin Sheng watched Wu Yulan come out with a basket in surprise.

Wu Yulan glanced at He Zhen, whose face was not very good-looking, snorted coldly, and walked to Lin Sheng's side, "I didn't think that Brother Ling would be bored at home alone to accompany him. Why are you all standing at the door when you cook at home?"

"Xiang Gong!" Seeing Qi Yue, He Ling also greeted him.

Qi Yue softened his eyebrows and stretched out his hand to embrace him, "Do you miss me?"

He Ling blushed immediately, and although he didn't push him away, he didn't dare to look at Wu Yulan and the others, "Someone is here!"

Wu Yulan's eyes were full of narrowness, and she was very happy to see their relationship so good.

Lin Sheng laughed twice, and when he saw the ugly looking He Zhen, he remembered what his daughter-in-law said, "He Zhen is waiting at the door, we'll see you when we get back, so we'll be delayed for a while!"

He Ling heard his words and glanced at He Zhen, thinking about the previous incident, not feeling very comfortable in his heart, so he turned his eyes away from him.

Wu Yulan smiled coldly and said, "What? I didn't pour enough dirty water on Brother Ling in front of the villagers. I plan to pour two more pots in front of Brother Qi!"

"What's the matter? He's bullying people again?" Lin Sheng answered immediately, thinking that he was sincere to admit his mistake. This doesn't seem to be the case!

"Big Brother Qi really can't do anything about my illness?" He Zhen couldn't care about other things now, just waiting for Qi Yue to ask again.

Qi Yue didn't hesitate, just shook his head, "No!"

He Zhen pondered for a moment, and then said: "Then can I trouble Big Brother Qi to send me to the town tomorrow?"

Qi Yue frowned slightly, and wanted to refuse, but someone pulled his sleeves. He looked down and saw He Ling looking at him. He understood the meaning in his eyes, but he was puzzled. He didn't ask, He only raised his head and said to He Zhen, "Yes, come and find me tomorrow morning!"

"Thank you, Brother Qi!" He Zhen thanked him, then wrapped his head and face with a cloth towel, and turned away.

"Why did Brother Qi answer him?" Wu Yulan's face was a little unsightly. He Zhen's trouble with He Ling before had made those long-tongued women have ideas about the relationship between Qi Yue and He Zhen. She was sure , it doesn't take until tomorrow for a rumor to spread throughout the village. At this juncture, sending him to the town for medical treatment will not add fuel to the fire!

Qi Yue didn't answer, he looked at He Ling and said, "I also want to know why?"

His question caused Wu Yulan and Lin Sheng to be stunned for a moment, and they followed them subconsciously.

He Ling's hand gripped his sleeve tightly, he lowered his eyes, his voice was a little tired, "Help him again, no matter whether it is cured or not, from now on, the affairs of the He family have nothing to do with me!"

"You stupid boy!" Wu Yulan felt a little distressed. After all these years in the He family, they beat him or scolded him. He never complained, because they were always his blood relatives. He treats him kindly, and he will never forget his kindness. What he did this time really hurt his heart!

Lin Sheng put his hand around his daughter-in-law's shoulder and patted her comfortably. He understood the sadness in her heart.

"You only need to care about me in the future!" Qi Yue brushed the hair on He Ling's cheek behind his ear, and lifted his face lightly to let him look at him.

He Ling looked into his eyes, as if to indulge in that tenderness!

"Oh, it's getting late, go back to cook, go back to cook!" Seeing that the two of them had forgotten about others, Wu Yulan no longer felt sad or not, waved at them, and dragged Lin Sheng, who was still somewhat unaware of the situation. just left.

He Ling watched Wu Yulan walk and stuffed the basket into Lin Sheng's hands for him to take it, and even scolded him for not being able to wink, so he couldn't help laughing, "Brother Lin and sister-in-law Yulan have such a good relationship!"

Qi Yue saw that He Ling was happy, and his mood became happy, "We are also very good!"

He Ling looked back at him, reached out and grabbed his shoulder for the first time, and took the initiative to kiss him on the cheek, "Qi Yue, it's great to meet you!"

Feeling the soft touch on his cheek, Qi Yue's eyes darkened, he calmed down and still looked gentle, "It's noon, what should we eat?"

He Ling didn't realize that he was teasing someone at all. He thought about it and said, "I'll bake a pie for you?"

"Okay!" Qi Yue responded and took him into the house.

He Ling used to make stuffed pie at He's house. He used multigrain noodles, and the stuffing was also some wild vegetables. What Qi Yue buys are all fine food, using white noodles and pork stuffing, the cakes are golden brown, and the pork is fat and thin, and it is fragrant when you bite!

He also mixed carrots, fried a plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes, and made egg drop soup. Qi Yue was very satisfied, not only sighed in his heart, it is good to have a husband!

He Ling seemed to be a little worried. After washing the dishes, Qi Yue pinched his cheek and asked, "What's wrong?"

He Ling hesitated for a while, but still opened his mouth and said, "Xianggong, shouldn't we... be more frugal?"

Qi Yue came to the village and bought a house and cattle. Because he married him, he also spent fifty taels of silver, and the clothes he bought were all silk. At that time, when Qi Yue gave him the clothes, he was terrified. He had never seen such good clothes before, but he even brought them to him, but he dared not accept them!

But Qi Yue said that if he didn't accept it, he would take it all and throw it away, and he took it away with trepidation.

The preparations for the banquet are all good things, and the chef of the big restaurant in town must have spent a lot of money. After calculating these accounts, his heart is shaking!

"Oh? How to save it?" After eating, Qi, who was a bit lazy, became more energetic and wanted to tease him.

"We can raise some chickens, pigs, etc. in the backyard. We can open another place to grow some vegetables. It's too expensive to buy food outside!" After saying this, He Ling glanced at Qi Yue. , seeing that he was still smiling, he continued, "I can make the clothes myself, so I won't have to buy such expensive materials in the future, and don't buy those balsams and hair oils, it's a waste!"

After listening to his ramble, Qi Yue smiled and took him into his arms, kissed him on the face, "raise livestock and grow vegetables, as you please, buy things for you, reject it!"

The most important thing is that he didn't agree, He Ling said anxiously: "Those are unnecessary, what a waste to buy!"

"Who said it's unnecessary?" Qi Yue held his hand and touched it, it was very soft and smooth to care for, "You dress nicely, and you look white and tender, I look happy, could it be that A Ling doesn't want to? See me happy?"

"No!" He Ling hurriedly denied it, how could he not want the other party to be happy, but Qi Yue chose the most expensive things, and he felt that he was using it too extravagantly!

Qi Yue smiled slightly, wrapped his arms around his waist and carried it into the room, "I have something to give you!"

He Ling was taken into the house with a bewildered stomach, watching him take out a carved wooden box from the closet and stuff it in his hand, "You will take care of this in the future!"

"What is it?" He Ling asked and opened the wooden box. He saw some copper coins, broken silver, and five or six silver ingots. One of them said there were ten taels. He was startled, "Money?"

Qi Yue raised his chin and motioned for him to continue reading.

He lowered his head again, stretched out his hand and moved the broken silver and copper coins to the side, revealing a few sheets of paper that were pressed down below, He Ling reached out and took a look at the paper, and almost threw the money box in his hand, "Here, This is… "

Qi Yue was amused by his appearance, and held his trembling hand holding the bank note, "Your husband, I'm quite rich now, I'm not afraid of your spending!"

He Ling was a little speechless, this is a silver note! For a silver note of one hundred taels, there are seven or eight of these in his hand, he has never seen so much money!

Seeing his frightened appearance, Qi Yue was both amused and distressed. How could these things be worth it to him.

He raised his hand and put the silver note in He Ling's hand back into the box, put it on the table, held his face, and said, "It's just a few pieces of paper, why are you scared like this?"

"Where is this paper?!" But it's all silver notes! He Ling's heart panicked. Qiyue had just put so much money in the cabinet so casually before, without even having a lock. "Here, what if this amount of money is stolen?"

"Haha," Qi Yue let out two chuckles, leaning over to touch his forehead, "Our courtyard wall is so high, we can't easily lose it!"

"It's not very high..." He Ling retorted in a low voice. He also thought the wall was very high before. After all, most people in the village are low walls or fences made of mud. His family is much taller than people. ! But now, with so much money in the house, no matter how he looked at it, he felt unreliable, and he wished that the wall could be raised a few more!

"Then tomorrow, I'm going to hire some craftsmen and build a taller one?" Qi Yue seemed to be seriously considering this.

"That's not necessary!" He said that, there can really be messing around!

"Don't worry!" Qi Yue patted his head, "When there is no one at home, lock the door of the house and courtyard so that it won't be lost!"

Although he said so, He Ling was still uneasy. It was fine if he didn't know. Knowing that he had this amount of money, why would he not think too much about it!

"Find another place by yourself and hide it well. In the future, you will take care of it. If I need the money, I will ask you to take it!" Qi Yue picked up the box on the table and put it in his hands again. .

He Ling was holding the box, and his mood was a little complicated. Although he didn't know where Qi Yue came from, what his identity was in the past, and why he settled in Gushui Village, he never had the slightest falsehood in his friendship, and he always thought about himself. Considerately appease his various emotions!

Qi Yue saw that he did not refuse, until he understood his intention, he took off the jade pendant that had been hanging around his waist and tied it to He Ling's waist, "This jade pendant was given to A Ling, like A Ling embroidered on my purse, You and I will stay together, okay?"

He Ling touched the delicately carved jade pendant around his waist, his expression softened, he looked up at Qi Yue with a smile, and said, "Okay!"

Seeing that he was obedient, Qi Yue hugged him into his arms and said softly, "Follow me to town tomorrow!"

"Me too?" He Ling, who was leaning in his arms, raised his face when he heard the words.

"Yeah!" Qi Yue nodded, "I want to show you a place, take a walk along the way, and..."

Qi Yue lengthened his voice, but he didn't say anything else, so He Ling could only ask, "And what?"

The wickedness had to be submitted, Qi Yue leaned into his ear and said, "Don't you worry about taking my brother Xiao to town alone for your husband?"

He Ling's ears were burning red, and he pushed the person who was holding him away in embarrassment, "You are not serious! I haven't finished washing my clothes last night, so I'm going to do the laundry!"

"You're going to get angry with me!" After Qi Yue touched his chin and sighed, he chased after him. Doing things together can also enhance and enhance the relationship!
