Seeing Li Qinghe looking at the brochure, Yu Yan went out with her with two embroidery samples and fabrics, and said with a low laugh, "If you want to learn, I can teach you."
"Okay." Li Qinghe replied straight away. In fact, she felt that she could not do such delicate work, but she should learn some simple ones. Looking at the village, there is really no one who is good at embroidery.
After returning, Li Qinghe carried the food directly to Li Xingwang's side, but didn't take it home at all. She agreed to start working tomorrow, and then she went back.
In the yard, Zhao Wanwan was squatting next to the rabbit and teasing her. When she saw her, she couldn't help but think of Xu's words. Even if there was no dowry, the Hu family would not dare not marry her. In fact, it is not bad to have a father who is not stingy.
It is conceivable that now the Hu family will be threatened by Zhao Tianfu, and the higher Hu Yanxi's status will be in the future, the more he cares about his reputation, the more he will accommodate. Then Zhao Wanwan's life will be easy. Speaking of it, Zhao Wanwan looks pitiful, but in fact, her two fathers protect her, which is much better than her life.
Hearing the movement, Zhao Wanwan turned around and saw Li Qinghe, and said with a smile, "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 hand, "Sister bought the cloth? Do you want to make a dowry?"
Li Qinghe hummed, turned a blind eye to her eyes glued to the fabric, and took it directly to the door.
When having dinner at night, Qian smiled and said, "Qinghe brought back the fabric today, is it for dowry? Can you move some out for your father, he hasn't made new clothes for two years."
Li Qinghe is speechless, co-author Li Fu does not make new clothes and has something to do with her
However, the fabric can also be given to Li Fu, "It's not a good fabric, my mother gave it to me, and I can cut some out when I have time."
Qian Shi guessed that it was Xu Shi who gave it to him. Who would buy a whole bolt of fabric? Even if so many members of the Zhou family all make new clothes together, they don't need a piece of cloth.
Qian didn't care much, "That's not bad, Wanwan..."
Li Fu glared at her, "Eat or not!"
Naturally, rice is something to eat. There was still some rabbit meat left from yesterday. Zhao Wanwan didn't gnaw happily on a word. When she finished eating, she was still thinking about it when she cleaned up the bones on the table, and said, "It would be great if I could also hunt."
The next morning, Li Qinghe took a knife and a hoe and went to the field early in the morning, and started to open up wasteland today.
Next, as long as it doesn't rain, they will basically go to the fields. Li Xingwang's family, including her and Zhou Chengkang, are still quite a lot of people. They have to do a lot of work in a day, and they will not be lazy.
And Li Fu only came to visit occasionally, and Li Qinghe also understood that he had to clean up his own large land, and every time he came over, Li Kui would stab him a few times. They must be pinched, and they all feel that the other party owes them.
After the autumn harvest, there were several happy events in the village. In a blink of an eye, it was time for Zhou Chengwu to marry into Li's family. This marriage was much more lively than his elder brother's. The number of marriages in Luoyue Town could be counted on two hands. A harsher woman will ask her son-in-law to change her surname.
Of course, Li Qingmiao didn't have any parents, so Li Qingmiao walked to Zhou's house, kowtowed to Zhou's mother together with Zhou Chengwu, and then they returned to Li's house to kowtow to them, which was regarded as a ceremony.
Li Qinghe also went to help chop vegetables and clean up. Compared with the Zhou family, she and Li Qingmiao were more familiar and closer.
Many people are discussing that this time is over, and it's Zhou Laosan's turn.
Indeed, it was Zhou's third son's turn. Within a few days, news came from the Zhou family that Zhou Chengcai's wedding date was the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, exactly two months from now.
The Zhou family's happy events this year have envied many people. It seems that there were not many people last year, but this year's Chinese New Year is full of excitement.
Li Qinghe and the others opened up barren land for a full month, and the land was more than three acres. Except for the thinner soil, the newly opened land looked quite flat, and she picked out all the small stones in it. It took another ten days to circle out a piece of land and build a simple chicken coop. We can start feeding the chickens only after the warm weather after the Chinese New Year.
It was already winter, and although there were still people working outside, Li Qinghe felt that it was unnecessary, so he went to Li Xingwang's house to calculate their wages. , did not lose anyone.
Li Kui, grandparents, her grandma and Liu Shi, there are five people in total, but Liu Shi doesn’t need wages for life and death, more than a month’s salary is not old or young. After seeing it reluctantly, Liu Shi resolutely pushed it back to her, "I can’t take it, At the beginning, I agreed to help you cook and you can take care of my food. If people know that I will charge you for cooking for you, I’m afraid it will make people laugh. Besides, if your sister still eats, wouldn’t it be that I still want to eat? Give you food money?"
In the end, Li Kui and his wife didn't want any wages, so Li Qinghe stuffed them with all his strength and ran out quickly.
More than a month's wages plus the food she bought cost her nearly four taels of silver. There is not much left in the family. Fortunately, the fish in the pond have grown slowly. When they are sold during the Chinese New Year, there should be another year income.
It's cold outside now, and basically no one is hanging out outside. When he was about to get home, Li Qinghe saw a slender figure from a distance, and only when he got closer did he see that it was Yu Yan.
Since Yu Yan took over the embroidery work, she has been embroidering in the house or in the yard all day long, and she doesn't go out when she is free. Even though she has been here for nearly two months, there are still many people in the village who don't know her.
From the day she woke up to inquire about the way to the county seat, she never heard her mention of leaving again. Occasionally, Li Qinghe would hear the third aunt say that Yu Yan was very polite and knew how to be grateful, so she would share some of the money earned from embroidery work with them.
It was Yu Yan who greeted first, smiling, she looked in a good mood and in good shape, with a blush on her cheeks, "Qing He, it's so cold, where have you been?"
Li Qinghe responded casually, "Go to my uncle's house, how about you?"
Yu Yan's face turned red, Li Qinghe was puzzled when she saw this, she really asked a casual question, she didn't mean to inquire, but looking at her now, it seems that there is something wrong with it. No matter how you look at it, it looks like... a spring heart sprouts.
She didn't mean to pry into other people's secrets, so she turned around and entered the door, and asked with a polite smile, "Do you want to come in and sit?"
"Okay." Yu Yan responded immediately.
She was so straightforward, Li Qinghe was taken aback for a moment, she was really just being polite, but Yu Yan was not at all polite.
After reacting, he hurriedly greeted, "Then come in quickly."
Taking her to her own room, the room became much warmer. Li Qinghe also lit the brazier, and brushed away the ashes on the charcoal fire, and the room became even warmer. She raised her hand and poured the warm tea on the side. He laughed and said, "I also said to learn embroidery from you. I didn't have time a few days ago. Starting tomorrow, I will probably be free."
Hearing this, Yu Yan was not unhappy, she smiled and said, "Then why don't I come to your side, my room is a bit cold, I'm not very good at lighting, my godmother taught me several times I still can't, I often turn off the fire. ... I'm still not used to it."
"Would you like to go home?" Li Qinghe added charcoal to it, the more it was lit, the hotter the fire would be.
"I used to think about it, but now..." Yu Yan thought of something, she was in a daze with a smile on her lips, and quickly came back to her senses, "I heard that you saved Mr. Xu, right?"
Xu Changjie
Li Qinghe was very busy during this time, she fell asleep right away when she came back, and she didn't have time to recall the bad things in her previous life, and she deliberately stopped interacting with him, and she hadn't seen or heard him for a long time.
Seeing the curiosity and shyness on her face, Li Qinghe's smile narrowed, "I saved it, how did you know him?"
Yu Yan's face became a little more shy, "I often go to the town to deliver embroidery, and I have met a few times by chance, and we have been together twice." At the end, her voice became lower and lower, "Did you ever treat him as well?" …”
Looking up at Li Qinghe's expression, she explained, "At that time, you almost lost your life saving him. Many people said that you might have feelings for him, but for some reason you didn't make an appointment. May I ask, why did you save him? He didn't propose marriage?"
"Because he has a sweetheart." Li Qinghe said frankly, "It's always the best if you don't get it. That girl's family will not agree to this marriage. I don't want to marry someone who doesn't care about me."
"That's it." Yu Yan was thoughtful, "Thank you for telling me this." She took out a new silk handkerchief with an orchid that was about to bloom embroidered on it, which was extremely delicate, "This is for you. "
Li Qinghe took it, admired it for a while, and handed it back to her, "It's too precious, you can exchange it for silver."
Yu Yan shoved it back into her hands, "You just play around, this news is very important to me, besides, you and Brother Zhou helped me a lot before I woke up, it's time to give a thank you gift. "
After saying a few more words, Li Qinghe sent her out and looked away after seeing her enter the next yard. She really didn't expect Yu Yan to meet Xu Changjie. This girl didn't appear in the village in her previous life. Could it be that he had to marry a real mate? no? Can't wait a year
If possible, she would really like to persuade. This Yu Yan looks pretty good, but she is an adult, and she is from outside, with more experience and thoughts than her, she said all these things, she should be able to figure it out by herself.
The weather is getting colder and colder, Yu Yan has really come to embroider frequently since that day, and Li Qinghe also learns some simple embroidery from her, and after half a month, she gradually has some appearance.
On this day, the two were embroidering in the house again, and the third aunt was also there, and the few of them occasionally talked about interesting things in the village, which was quite leisurely.
The atmosphere was harmonious, and someone knocked on the door outside, knocking urgently and quickly, as if there was something urgent.
When Li Qinghe opened the door, he saw a surprising person standing at the gate of the yard.
——Xu Chang asked his mother.
She and Zhao Wanwan came back from working as helpers in the town. Xu's mother met her when she asked her to make a bullock cart. After that, she only saw her from a distance, but she didn't expect her to come again.
Not only that, she seemed to be angry, shaking the already unsecured fence gate aggressively, "Open the door, I have something to do!"
Qian went to open the door, "Her aunt, what's the matter?"
Li Fu also went out and stood in the yard, frowning.
This looks like a bad comer.
