Li Qinghe didn't intend to ask, and his attitude was much colder than before.
Seeing this, Zhou's mother was a little embarrassed, she smiled and said, "Qing He is angry with me."
Li Qinghe straightened up, thumped his waist, "No."
"That's good. You didn't let us in yesterday. You looked angry." She sighed, "We are all a family, so it's best to make things clear in person. What happened yesterday was indeed your elder brother's fault. But everyone has a time when they are in a hurry, and what they say when they are in a hurry can’t be taken seriously, don’t you think so?”
"Yes." Li Qinghe did not refute, "but I told you yesterday, you can come in, and I won't kick you out if you want to live for a long time, but there is one thing, if you want us to continue to love each other with big brother Impossible. In the future, don't say good things about him in front of us. I am not happy to hear that. I am a person who is easy to talk to, but once I decide who I will not associate with, it is useless for anyone to say."
Seeing that her attitude was really cold, Zhou's mother was a little anxious, "No, we are all a family, how can there be so many right and wrong, your elder brother and sister-in-law really knew they were wrong, in order to apologize to you, they were going to leave yesterday, but in the end You didn't let them in, and stayed an extra night last night."
"I'm not saying they're right, and I'm not insisting on a good relationship between you, but you are brothers and should take care of each other." She looked at Zhou Chengkang, "Chengkang, what do you say?"
Zhou Chengkang looked up at her, "What Qinghe means is what I mean. Mother, don't say that anymore. If you say too much, you think I'm disobedient. I think you can't understand it. It's not good for us all."
After a pause, he continued, "If you don't say anything, I'll open the door now and you go in. If you still want to talk, it's more comfortable for you to go back and live with Third Brother."
Mother Zhou's complexion changed slightly. After hearing this, she felt no luck anymore, and sighed, "I'll let your elder brother and the others go back later, and think about it yourself..."
Li Qinghe couldn't hear this, and said directly, "What do we need to think about?"
"You asked us to go back to celebrate the new year. Do you think the past few years are going well? Let's not talk about the previous things. As far as what happened yesterday, I don't think there is anything wrong with me. It's not us who should think more about it. The fifth sister is already married , there is no need to celebrate the new year together, if you arrange this again next year, we will not go. It was a happy thing to celebrate the new year, but it turned out that we have been in trouble for the past few years after we got married, and it was very annoying."
Mother Zhou didn't expect that she could say so many things mercilessly just by saying a word. This is completely different from her gentle temperament before. It should be said that she has never been so rude.
It was also at this time that she realized that this youngest daughter-in-law was also choked by her words, or that she was a little bit disrespectful after touching her bottom line.
Looking at the back of 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 lowly, "You are already fine. She will figure it out."
That's right, Zhou's mother is an open-minded mother-in-law, and now maybe she just can't accept the fact that her sons are turning against each other, so she wants to persuade her.
In the afternoon of that day, Boss Zhou's carriage returned to the town, and the villagers also started spring plowing.
It was busy until March, when all the land in Li Qinghe's house was planted. Then, Wu Li sent her a batch of medicinal seeds, which were planted in various places, several kinds Vines can be planted in the woods. So, after the spring plowing, Li Qinghe asked the helpers to go to the forest for a few days.
It was also at this time that the two of them suddenly felt that they could still go to the old forest for a while, because they had already learned the pharmacology for a while, and some medicinal materials still had to be seen with their own eyes, the branches, leaves and roots were all What kind, where it should grow, for example, if it likes humidity, you have to see whether it is the kind of humidity near the water or the humidity under the shade of trees.
So, after the spring plowing was over, the two packed up the dry food, asked Yu Ermo and his wife to look after the house, took Xiyu's family into the forest, and went out early and returned late every day. Not to mention outsiders, it was Yu Ermo who lived with them Husband and wife, they don't have much time to get along with them.
On this day, the two of them came back at night again. Before they approached the door, they saw a familiar person standing outside the door. It turned out to be Li Fu. Although Zhou Chengkang did not help him with work this year, the two still separated I hired two people 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.
When Li Fu saw the people approaching, he especially looked at Xi Yu, seeing that he was in good spirits apart from being messy, he was slightly relieved, and when he heard his daughter's question, he said angrily, "Not until this time, I'll see I don't see anyone."
Hearing this, Li Qinghe felt a little guilty, "It's really a bit late to come back today. If you have something to do, you can tell them, or leave a message with them, and we can wait for you at home."
While talking, he invited him in, and then looked at Chen Shi beside him, "Why don't you let my father in?"
Before Mrs. Chen could speak, Li Fu had already said, "It's none of her business, I'm going to wait for you outside."
After entering the door, Zhou Chengkang took Xi Yu to wash up. Before leaving in the morning, he had ordered Mrs. Chen to prepare the meals and then prepare the hot water. Here, Li Qinghe led him in, "Father, what's the matter?" Still 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 hear what others said?" Li Qinghe was curious. Although it was a little unpleasant, except for the Zhou family and the fifth sister and his wife, no one else would know about it.
Mother Zhou herself is not a talkative person.
Li Fu sighed, "Do you need someone else to tell you? Your mother-in-law stayed here for so long last year, but this year she didn't come here after she was too busy. The main reason is that you two brought such an older child into the forest, which is not good."
Li Qinghe was dumbfounded. Most of the elders in the village thought that children should not go into the woods, and that there would be bad things that would scare the children, and they would get sick when they came back.
But the two of them don't think that, besides, they don't think that the child has to be taken by Zhou's mother, and it will be good for him to take him into the woods for more walks. It's March now, and it's lukewarm Sometimes, it is good for children to go out for a walk more.
He looked outside again, and asked in a low voice, "Tell me honestly, did you have a fight with your mother-in-law? Is Chengkang unhappy?"
"No." Li Qinghe sighed, "Don't worry about it, just live well."
Li Fu nodded, "That's it, Xi Yu, take it back for me, and I'll help you look after it. Speaking of which, I've got this grandson. I haven't seen him for a long time. It's weird. Why don't I pick him up today to live for two days?" Will I send it back to you again?"
After talking for a long time, this is not his ultimate goal, is it
Facing his daughter's suspicious look, Li Fuqing coughed, "I've been busy for several months, and I finally got some free time, and I only have a grandson, Xiyu, so why not take him home for a few days?"
OK, why not.
Over there, after Zhou Chengkang finished washing the child, Li Fu took him with him when he went out. Both grandparents and grandchildren were very happy when they left.
The child was sent away, and the life of the two of them did not change much. They even left earlier and came back later because they did not take the child with them.
Two days later, when the two came back, they saw another person waiting at the door. This time it was Zhou's mother. Since the last time they broke up, this was the first time she came to the door on her own initiative.
"Are you back? You should come back earlier, you won't be able to see the outside, and it's hard to walk at night. What happened if you fell?" Zhou's mother babbled, and after she finished speaking, she felt that she was talking too much, and she glanced at Li Qinghe several times. This time, seeing that she didn't mean to be angry, she was slightly relieved.
This time it was Zhou Chengkang who talked with her, while Li Qinghe went to wash up.
After returning, I heard Mother Zhou say, "Qinghe, just now I told the fourth child that it would be inconvenient for Xiyu to be with your father now." Without waiting for her answer, she continued, "Is it grandfather after all? In addition, there is a Liu family over there, she will inevitably find it troublesome after a long time, and the children will be noisy, of course, the more I see my family, the better, but others may not... why don't I take it and live there for a few days?"
Li Qinghe looked at Zhou Chengkang, and he said, "What I mean is, if my mother wants to have a child, she can live here. After all, the third brother lives there now. It's fine for a day or two, but it's not good for a long time."
Li Qinghe nodded in agreement, especially after Boss Zhou's words, it can be seen that they have not forgotten those things, it's about the children, everyone should pay attention.
Zhou's mother was a little sad, but she still nodded and said, "If your father doesn't want to take it, I will move here."
On Li Fu's side, there's no reason why he doesn't want to take care of the children. The grandparents and grandchildren have fun all day long, and they don't think about it. Li Qinghe went to pick him up the next morning, but he didn't come back at all. .
Now that the farming is slack, many people in the village have nothing to do. Seeing the husband and wife go to the forest to collect herbs every day, many people follow suit, because Li Qinghe asked them to come to help earlier, and many people know the medicinal materials. There are only a few. At present, no one has picked the medicinal materials in Wang Village. Even if they don't know a few, they can always find some. Many people have dried the medicinal materials, although there are not many.
It is worth mentioning that the Yang family next door has started to hire people again, this time it is to dig a fish pond, and they are going to raise fish.
It was Yu Yan who came to tell her about this matter.
"The two of you in town sell quite a lot of fish now, and you don't usually sell them at all. Now they're here again..."
It doesn't matter, the big deal is to send it to the county town, and it can be sold 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 to it. They fixed the fish fry twice a year and didn't put much in it. It's been smooth sailing all these years Yes, I did make a lot of money. But if you put your mind to it, you should earn more.
However, Yu Yan's thoughts were rare, Li Qinghe thanked her, and said these words again.
Yu Yan waved her hand, "I just don't like it. If there is a fish pond, I won't talk about raising fish after it's done. It's just that there are no fish ponds or even paddy fields. It's a bit too much to have to dig one out." Deliberately. It is clear that I watched your family earn money and deliberately followed you to learn. Living in the village, I am a farmer’s family, so I can’t do something.”
