Zhao Wanwan was setting out the food, and was surprised when she heard this. After glancing at Li Fu, she looked at Li Qinghe for help, and then lowered her head aggrieved.
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 heard Li Fu say displeasedly, "Wanwan is about to get engaged, and when the Hu family comes, she will look good in black? Forget it, if you don't want to, I will do it myself."
Li Qinghe went to the kitchen, brought steamed buns, and heard Qian's voice before entering the door, "Why don't you ask the Zhou family?"
Ask a fart!
Li Qinghe was annoyed immediately, even if Zhou Chengkang was willing to help, it was because he came voluntarily, so he ran to ask what was going on? She opened the curtain and entered the door, "I don't think there is any inconvenience for Aunt Qian. There are so many women in the farm, and there are times when others are inconvenient. How can you not work when it is autumn harvest?"
Qian's face paled after being pushed by her. In front of Li Fu, she was always weak and conceded, she lowered her head and stopped talking.
"Don't ask." Li Fu picked up the steamed bun, "What are you asking? If the Zhou family is interested, they should come to the door by themselves."
The subconscious meaning is that Zhou Chengkang should come to help with work.
Li Qinghe stopped talking, sat down after a long while, and asked, "Didn't it mean that the Hu family was going to come to propose marriage, why didn't they come?" After proposing marriage, they should also come to work.
Li Fu was a little annoyed, "What's the rush? He will always come when it's time."
The next morning, the autumn harvest had already begun in the village, and there was a lot of noise outside early in the morning. Li Qinghe went out to feed the fish. Along the way, he met many people carrying bales of wheat and came back. He also saw Zhou Chengwu, but he was not doing it for his family. Instead, she helped Li Qingmiao’s family, and Qingmiao’s mother rushed to deliver water, she could see that she was in a good mood, and greeted others everywhere, “This year, someone will help me, and his father and I can relax a little bit, don’t you guys?” I know, in previous years..." Barbara, in short, I am very satisfied.
The Zhou family also harvested autumn today, but only Zhou's mother and Zhou Chengkang worked. His younger sister was thirteen this year and was also a big girl, so she stayed at home to do housework.
Maybe it was infected by the crowd, Li Fu also went to the field with a sickle in the afternoon, but Qian Shi really didn't go. In this way, three people in the family waited to cook, and Li Fu worked in the field alone under the sun.
The afternoon sun was so hot that it made people oily. Qian Shi boiled the tea and ordered, "Wanwan, bring water to your father."
Zhao Wanwan looked at the sun, "Mother, my clothes haven't been washed yet."
Li Qinghe was making clothes in the house, and when he heard the words, he went out, "I'll go."
Ignoring the surprised mother and daughter Qian, she took the tea and went out. She could still find her own land. After leaving the village and walking for a quarter of an hour, she could see Li Fu bending over to cut the wheat alone in the distance. He raised his eyes and saw her approaching, "Why are you here?"
Li Qinghe raised the kettle, "I'll bring you some water." He poured a bowl for him, "Let's have a rest."
Li Fu walked to the side and sat down under the shade of a tree. After drinking two bowls, he handed the bowl back to her, "It's sunny outside, so go back early."
Li Qinghe took the bowl and looked at the big waves of wheat. There is so much work, I don't know how long it will take for one person to finish it. Besides, the weather is fine these days, and it is actually the best time to take back the grain and harvest it to dry it. , or if it is taken back, it will rain if it is not dried in the sun, and it will still be moldy. If it is not done properly, it will be dry in a year.
She couldn't help it, and asked, "Why didn't you let Aunt Qian come?"
"She also came here in previous years. Although she couldn't do much, she said she wanted to accompany me." Li Fu bent down and began to work, "Maybe she is really uncomfortable this year."
Li Qinghe was dumbfounded, she was not willing to listen to a handful of dog food, but Li Fu urged, "Go back quickly."
The sun was too big, and there was a kind of scorching heat in the ground, which was unbearable, and Li Qinghe didn't force it. After she was fired in the town in her previous life, she got married not long ago, and she helped the Xu family cut it once or twice. Well, Xu has a lot of family members and a lot of things to do at home, that stall is enough for her to be busy, and she has never worked in a serious way all day.
On the way back, she met Zhou's mother, who was resting by the side of the road with a large bundle of wheat on her back. She was already engaged, and Zhou's mother was much kinder to her. When she saw her coming, she smiled and said, "Qinghe Ah, the sun is so big, what are you doing?"
Li Qinghe also had a smile on his face, "I'll bring water to my father, and I'll be right back."
Mother Zhou showed apology on her face, "Our family has a lot of things to do, and it may take two days for the fourth child to come to help."
Thinking back, Zhou Jiazhuang had a lot of labor and was one of the first families in the village to finish harvesting the grain. I'm afraid it won't work this year.
Li Qinghe smiled and refused. When he returned home, he saw a guest at home. Mrs. Qian was busy greeting her. From the corner of her eye, she saw her enter the door and ordered, "Qinghe is back, hurry up and call your father back. Here comes the distinguished guest."
VIP
Li Qinghe took a glance, and saw a woman in a satin dress, standing reservedly in the main room, and beside her was a thin young man, who was the Hu family's mother and son.
I didn't see Grandma Xi, it was time to come to talk about marriage, Li Qinghe said yes, ran again, called Li Fu, and went to the pond to feed the fish.
When she came back from feeding the fish, meals were already set up in the house, and a table of people was sitting around eating. She glanced at it, didn't go in, and went back to the room directly.
Then I heard a gentle voice from next door saying unhurriedly, "My Yanxi, my wife has praised me a lot, and I will end next year. In fact, recently, many families in the town have asked people to come to our house for a kiss. Those girls Compared to Wanwan... if it wasn't for the promise made with you earlier, and scholars pay attention to honesty, maybe we wouldn't have come."
Li Qinghe continued to cut clothes, and was slightly surprised when he heard this.
But when two families get married, it is done with good intentions, if they are not happy, then forget it. No matter how you look at it, it seems that she lacks the sincerity to ask for marriage when she secretly belittles the girl.
"Wanwan is pretty good." Qian's voice sounded, "I taught her to wash and cook since she was a child. She is a good player at home and abroad, and she is no worse than others."
Li Qinghe was speechless, but it was also a fact. It is indeed a great advantage for girls to be able to work when discussing marriage. But now it sounds like something is wrong.
Then I heard Qian Shi say, "It's better to settle this marriage earlier. I only want to have a daughter. She has a home, so I can rest assured."
