When he asked, Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe looked at each other, Zhou Chengkang thought for a while and said, "I'll get a quilt later, and I'll just spend the night in the carriage." Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
There is no other way. Although the atmosphere in the village is fairly simple, but there are so many fish, it would be bad if someone is really tempted. If it is more secretive, it will really be impossible to catch the thief, and you can only consider yourself unlucky.
Zhou Chengkang drove the carriage into the Zhou family's yard, went back to the house, took the quilt and went outside. When he arrived under the eaves, he happened to meet Zhang Haiyao who had just returned from the hut. Both of them just nodded as greetings.
Zhang Haiyao went back to the house, and whispered to Zhou Chengcai who was lying on the bed, "Look at the third brother, do you want to guard the fish?"
Zhou Chengcai didn't think it was a big deal, "There are so many fish, you should be more careful."
"Hmph." Zhang Haiyao snorted coldly, "Isn't it just a little fish? That's so stingy. I don't know if I'm paid for it or not."
"That person is willing!" Zhou Chengcai stood up, stretched out his hand to embrace him in his arms, and went to blow out the candle again, "If you ask me to help, I am also willing..."
Before dawn, Li Qinghe got up, the carriage had already parked outside the yard, she wrapped her clothes tightly, and quickly entered the carriage, by the afternoon, Li Qinghe's fish had been sold out, and today there were more than one tael than yesterday, more than ten taels.
Counting the copper coins, Li Qinghe was very happy. With the pond, although the two of them worked harder, they should have a good life.
When I got home, it was about the same time as yesterday. Today, Zhao Wanwan also helped her boil hot water, and still waited for her to wash up and followed her into her room. "Sister, are you still going to town tomorrow?"
"What are you doing?" Li Qinghe wiped it carefully and cleaned it today. In a short time, she no longer has to touch fish frequently.
Zhao Wanwan lowered her head, blushing, "I want to go to Hu's house to deliver fish."
In fact, Li Qinghe really planned to go shopping, and brought fish to Mrs. Xu by the way, and immediately said, "I'll go tomorrow, let's go together." There are so many people in the village, there should be some people who take a carriage, and she is not one more.
Zhao Wanwan immediately became happy.
Seeing her like this, Li Qinghe asked, "Do you want to give it to your father?"
"My father?" Zhao Wanwan was puzzled, "Dad is next door..."
She suddenly understood that what Li Qinghe meant was her own father Zhao Tianfu, she shook her head and said, "I haven't seen him for a long time, and he didn't see me either, there's no need for it, besides, I asked you for this fish, and it's not my own."
Li Qinghe also heard her talking about the Hu family, and suddenly thought of what Zhao Tianfu did in this marriage, and he asked this question because he helped her.
When they went to town again the next day, Li Qinghe sat with Zhou Chengkang outside the carriage, and there were many people crowded in the carriage.
When they arrived at the town, the carriage was left at the entrance of the town. Li Qinghe and the others said goodbye to everyone and went to Buzhuang first.
Seeing the fish she brought, Mrs. Xu was very happy, "You have really cultivated it, have you made any money?"
"I made some money." Li Qinghe was in a good mood, "I specially gave you some for the New Year."
The mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for a long time, but they actually got closer, mainly because Li Qinghe lost the sharpness of his previous life and was willing to get along well with Xu.
While talking, the curtain was lifted, Mrs. Zhang came in, saw the fish on the ground at a glance, and said with a smile, "Did you send the fish?"
Looking outside again, "This kind of weather is really difficult for you. Actually, it's not necessary. Our Zhang family can still afford a few fish, and we haven't treated your mother badly. Fish is not good if you eat too much I don't like it very much..." The tone was disdainful, and he reached out to knock on the bucket.
Mrs. Xu stepped forward, smiled and brought the bucket over, "Madam doesn't like to eat it, but I like it. I will eat it with my master."
When the last sentence came out, Mrs. Zhang's face turned ugly, and she quickly restrained herself, "Fishbone is easy to get stuck, so be careful when eating it. Don't get stuck during the Chinese New Year, and make a joke again."
Xu raised her eyebrows, "You have to make me look bad today, don't you think about it?"
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Zhang said solemnly, "What did I say?"
The two disagreed, and they were about to quarrel.
The curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man in his forties came in steadily, "There are guests here, so stop making trouble."
It means that Li Qinghe is the guest.
After saying this, Mrs. Zhang's face changed. Ordinary men don’t like their own women’s children born to other men. As long as the child exists, as long as it appears in front of him, it will remind him of the uncleanness of this woman. But now, he said that the child is a guest, which means It's clear that she doesn't care about Xu's previous affairs.
Li Qinghe didn't want to be here, got up and said goodbye with a smile, politely declined the fabric Master Zhang wanted to give her, looked at the person waiting for her after going out, and said with a smile, "Let's go to the street."
In her previous life, she didn't like to come here, firstly because she felt resentful towards Xu Shi, and secondly because it was easy to become the situation just now, and she just felt extremely awkward being caught in the middle.
The town has been very lively these past few days. There are about half as many people as usual. They are crowded everywhere. The two of them are very happy to be crowded together. In the afternoon, I went to Da Niang’s bun shop, where they eat noodles and buy pancakes. There were quite a lot of people, and the aunt was so busy that she didn't forget to greet the two of them.
The shop was lively, and there were many children in new clothes. Li Qinghe thought of something and said in a low voice, "I'll make you a set of clothes, and I'll give them to you when I go back."
Zhou Chengkang followed her gaze and landed on the three or four-year-old child over there. Because it was too cold, the child was still sucking his nose, and suddenly he felt bad, "You think I'm a child?"
Li Qinghe laughed, and gave him a white look, "Your Excellency also needs to wear new clothes, okay?"
Zhou Chengkang lowered his head, took a big mouthful, and drank the soup again. After a while, he raised his head, his eyes were a little red, "Actually, when I was young, I seldom wore new clothes."
The children of the Zhuang family always wear the big ones for the small ones. As the youngest child of the Zhou family, it is normal for there to be so many children in the Zhou family. She couldn't help but said, "I will make it for you every year from now on."
The tone was coaxing the child again, Zhou Chengkang couldn't laugh or cry, and felt the words warmed his heart, "Then I will wait."
When the two returned to the entrance of the town, Zhao Wanwan was already waiting, holding a basket and exhaling at each other's hands, and kept circling around.
Li Qinghe approached and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you go up first?"
"That's not good." Zhao Wanwan smiled and climbed up, "Actually, it's cold inside if you don't move, and I can watch the excitement outside."
The carriage returned to the village very quickly, and many people from the village were picked up on the way. Many people saw Zhou Chengkang helping sell fish, and those who didn't saw heard about it. Many people smiled and asked the two of them about their wedding date. Zhou Chengkang looked in a good mood, "It's coming soon, let's talk about it after the new year."
There was also a woman who smiled half-truth, "Don't say it again, you have to hurry up, and be careful that your daughter-in-law runs away."
I have made money selling fish, although I don't know how much money was invested, but the copper coins were collected really quickly when I sold them. I heard that two boxes were collected in two days, but it's not old or young. If Li Qinghe hasn't discussed marriage yet, Appoint many people to come to pick it up.
Zhou Chengkang glanced at Li Qinghe in the carriage with his head bowed and a shy expression on his face, and said with a smile, "Must hurry up."
Laughing and joking along the way, they soon arrived at the village. When Li Qinghe and sisters got off the carriage, there were still two people in the carriage who hadn't arrived home, and Zhou Chengkang had to see them off. Seeing the carriage go away, she turned and entered the door.
Zhao Wanwan secretly glanced at her several times and asked tentatively, "Sister, is your wedding date set?"
"Let's talk after the new year." Li Qinghe said casually, and then asked, "Why, the Hu family wants to get married?"
"The restaurant in the town is short of a helper after the year, and it will open on the third day of the new year..." Zhao Wanwan lowered her head, "Auntie means, let us get married quickly, and then we can go."
Li Qinghe was surprised, "If you really want to be able to do this job, you are already engaged, so you can go now, why do you have to get married?"
Zhao Wanwan shook her head, "I don't know either."
She didn't care much, and asked casually, "Is that date fixed?"
"I think in the first month." Zhao Wanwan tentatively said, "Sister, if you don't have time, my side..." Seeing that Li Qinghe didn't answer, she was a little frustrated, "I can only be ahead of you."
It doesn't matter, anyway, she is already engaged, "You have time for the dowry?"
Zhao Wanwan shook her head, "I don't know yet."
I really don't know about this, anyway, the five taels of silver at the bottom of the box has been debated since the Hu family first mentioned it, and Li Fu and others have never mentioned it in front of her since then.
The next day was Chinese New Year, and the family was fairly peaceful. Qian, who usually liked to talk about things at the dinner table, didn't talk about those unpleasant things anymore, and he didn't even mention his daughter's marriage. When this is mentioned, there is a high probability of arguing.
On the first day of the first lunar month, both Zhou Chengkang and Hu Yanxi came to pay New Year's greetings and stayed for dinner. Li Fu was very happy and asked them to drink with him.
In the afternoon, Li Fujiu was half awake, and went back to her natal home with Qian Shi.
This is so close, if you are willing to stay for a meal, you can delay for half a day, or if you don't want to stay for a meal, half an hour is too much. In the past, Li Fu and Li Fu came back very quickly, but this year seems to be different, they only came back when it was getting dark, and Li Fu's complexion was not very good.
As soon as he entered the door, Mrs. Qian cried, "What do you mean? You must be uncomfortable for the New Year's Eve, right? My parents raised me, so you can't help them?"
Li Fu's face was still a little red, and he waved his hands and said, "You are crying again, as I said, you should be filial to them, but don't think about anything else."
