As for the dowry, Li Qinghe really didn't say how much the Zhou family must get, but it wasn't intentional, and it's okay to have less. After all, she married for Zhou Chengkang, and she herself was not short of money.
Li Qinghe said with a slight smile, "I never mentioned it."
During the conversation, it was already at the gate of Zhou's house. At this time, people from various families slowly began to come over. Li Qinghe and the two went to the side where the vegetables were prepared. Many people in the village did not see Li Qinghe very much. She had been going back and forth in the town earlier. , seeing her now, first made fun of her, then coaxed her to cut the meat.
Li Qinghe was also not embarrassed, took the knife and began to cut, she cut thin and large pieces, many women in the village who have been cooking for a lifetime are not as neat as her, and someone immediately praised, "Qinghe is a good learner."
"If I don't study well, they will let me go home." Li Qinghe answered with a smile, "That's it, once I get hurt, I won't be there anymore."
Another person asked curiously, "As a helper in a restaurant, don't you just eat white flour steamed buns?"
The atmosphere in the kitchen was good, everyone was cheerful, Li Qinghe also smiled, "No, we have special meals, sometimes the chef spoils it, and it's our turn to eat, but there are many helpers, the chef also You can’t fry all of them, and one person can’t divide much.”
A female voice sounded, "Understood, I can only pick up leftovers to eat."
Everyone heard the sound and looked, only to see a girl in commoner clothes standing at the door, her whole body was plain, her face was cold, "There's nothing to show off."
Li Qinghe wasn't showing off at all, the people around her were actually just asking curious questions, joking around, no one took it seriously at all, this girl could choke to death.
A woman nearby came out to smooth things over, "Laixi, when did you come?"
The girl at the door is Qian Laiman's cousin, speaking like this in front of so many people, it seems that she doesn't like Li Qinghe very much.
Laixi smiled, "When I first came here, I heard you say that the restaurant helpers are enough to take care of white noodle steamed buns. How is that possible? Maybe the chef can get one or two, and it's luck that the little helpers don't get fired."
"You are right." Li Qinghe agreed, "But can you please step aside, you are blocking my light."
The atmosphere was not right, a woman nearby immediately pulled her away, and soon the kitchen resumed its bustle.
Afterwards, everything went smoothly. When the bride arrived, the dinner was held. The Zhou family's wedding went well. After dinner in the afternoon, everyone helped clean up the dishes, tables and chairs, and the wedding was over.
In the afternoon, Li Qinghe went to feed the fish, and ran into Qian Laixi on the way back.
"Yo, isn't this Qing He?" Qian Laixi stopped and looked her up and down, "You really are a vixen..."
Li Qinghe frowned when he saw her, and when he heard her curse, he slapped her and threw her head to one side.
Qian Laixi jumped up in anger.
Without waiting for her to question, Li Qinghe sneered, "Try saying one more thing!"
Qian Laixi covered her face and cried, "You bully..."
Li Qinghe folded his arms and looked at her, "Don't talk if you can't speak, you deserve to be beaten for dirty mouth!"
Qian Laixi burst into tears, feeling aggrieved, "Where did I say wrong? For you, my brother went to town and never came back. Busy, busy, the wedding date is pushed back again and again, what are you not a foxy girl?"
fault!
Li Qinghe asked bluntly, "What does it matter to me that he marries a wife?"
I turned around and left. I was in a good mood, but now I'm a little irritable. When passing by Zhou's house, Zhou Chengkang saw her and raised his voice, "Qinghe."
Li Qinghe paused and looked at him suspiciously.
Zhou Chengkang walked up to her and said, "I want to go into the mountains."
"It's dangerous to enter the mountains." Li Qinghe disagreed, "Don't go."
Zhou Chengkang smiled, "Are you going? Are we going together?"
That's okay, Li Qinghe's eyes lit up, and with her, Zhou Chengkang can't go too deep into the forest, and nothing will happen to him.
Seeing that she was silent, Zhou Chengkang smiled and said, "I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning."
After returning back, Li Qinghe told Li Fu about going into the mountain. Li Fu was a little displeased, but he didn't refuse. He just said, "Follow Chengkang closely, don't run around by yourself, remember to bring dry food."
Li Qinghe agreed, and Zhao Wanwan came out of the kitchen, "Sister, can you take me with you? I want to go too!"
"No." Li Qinghe flatly refused.
The refusal was too fast, Zhao Wanwan was stunned for a moment, "I will never cause you any trouble."
"That doesn't work either." Li Qinghe said directly, "What's the matter with the two of us going into the mountains and bringing you?"
Zhao Wanwan's face turned pale immediately.
One is because of Li Qinghe's suddenly cold attitude towards her, and the other is that these words imply that she has no sense of proportion.
In the morning of the next day, Li Qinghe took dry food and water, and Zhou Chengkang arrived just after packing up. The two of them headed to the west mountain. I've been looking for mushrooms for a few days.
Now is the time when there are wild mushrooms, but people who don't know how to recognize mushrooms generally don't come here. If they pick poisonous mushrooms, they will suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, or even get seriously ill or even die.
"Do you still want to go?" Li Qinghe put his hips on his hips, "I'll just change my career here."
Zhou Chengkang stopped, "Then take a break."
When Li Qinghe sat down, he took out a hairpin from his sleeve, which still smelled like wood, and handed it to her, "Do you like it?"
Handing the smooth polished hairpin to his face, 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 taking it and holding it in her hand to examine it carefully, Zhou Chengkang looked at the thin fluff on her fair face, and said softly, "I will carve you a hairpin for a lifetime! If you don't like this one, I will definitely do it next time." If you can do better, you will be satisfied.”
The two of them didn't continue to climb the mountain, and entered the forest from the side. Zhou Chengkang held a bow and arrow in his hand. After half a day, he hit four rabbits. The two big ones hit their stomachs, and the small one hit their legs. It's gone, there are only a few bites of meat after killing, Li Qinghe picked it up and looked at it, and suggested, "Why don't you keep it?"
Zhou Chengkang laughed, "It's up to you."
Li Qinghe has already picked a basket of mushrooms beside the road, and he has cut a lot of firewood near the road. After the autumn harvest, those who are free will go to the mountain to chop firewood for winter use.
Many people burn straw first in their homes, and the firewood is usually for stewing soup or cooking people have no time to add fire, so they smoke a few sticks to burn. The Zhou family's wedding banquet had to burn a lot.
On the way home, the two even shot a pheasant. Zhou Chengkang was very happy, "Actually, now is a good time for hunting. I couldn't hunt so many in the past. If the accuracy is better, I will definitely be able to hunt 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 first, she could only get enough food and clothing. Later, she could hang dried meat everywhere in the house, and there was no shortage of money. The snacks in the town could be changed into several patterns One day, I will change it before her grave.
Seeing that she was silent and seemed to be in deep thought, Zhou Chengkang asked with a smile, "Want to eat meat? Give you a rabbit? Or do you want a pheasant?"
Li Qinghe couldn't help it anymore, "Treat yourself better." Today, running around in the woods, his clothes were torn in several places, she pointed, "Take it off when you go back, and I'll mend it for you."
The corners of Zhou Chengkang's mouth couldn't help getting higher and higher. While the two were talking, someone behind him laughed and laughed. When he turned his head, he saw several men carrying logs on their shoulders, and they were quickly descending the mountain.
The one walking in the front was actually Qian Laiman, but he didn't lift it, he was carrying a hatchet. Seeing Li Qinghe, his eyes were pleasantly surprised, and seeing Zhou Chengkang who was carrying firewood next to Li Qinghe, his smile suddenly faded, "Qinghe, are you going up the mountain too?"
Li Qinghe nodded, looking at the wood carried by those people suspiciously.
"Someone specifically asked for yellow wood to make furniture, so we went to the woods to find it." Qian Laiman explained to her, then waved his hand to let them carry the wood away, and then looked at Zhou Chengkang, "Brother Zhou, this is Are you chopping firewood?" Seeing the rabbit in his hand again, "Ah, is this rabbit for sale?"
"Not for sale!" Li Qinghe refused straight away.
When he saw him, he got angry, and his sister made trouble for him in the morning, which was a disaster for no reason. And when he asked the question, his tone was not right, as if Zhou Chengkang's rabbit couldn't be sold and asked him to support him.
