Li Qinghe was stunned.
The surprise on her face was undisguised. Zhao Wanwan looked into the kitchen and said in a low voice, "I asked. If I leave, this job will definitely be gone. Then I talked about it, and the manager agreed to find someone to do the job." , but there are also requirements, the people here can't be novices, it's better to be a helper in a restaurant. Sister, help me this time, okay?"
Seeing the heat in the kitchen, Li Qinghe really didn't want to come back, shook his head and said, "I'm very busy over there, there will be dozens of chickens in two days, you also know that the chickens must be carefully prepared, otherwise they will lose all their money." .You, I can still spare a day or two, two months... My fish fry have already entered the water, and I really can’t get away.”
Zhao Wanwan had a sad face, "Isn't there Brother Zhou, you can ask him to do all these for you, sister, I seldom beg you since I was young, if you help me this time, if you have something to do in the future, if I can Help, definitely help you!"
Her eyes were full of anticipation, and Li Qinghe spread her hands, "It's really helpless, you can't count on me, you should know how busy my family is, and my field has already bloomed, and I will plant spring with them in a few days, and then I will invite you people."
Zhao Wanwan sighed, "If I can't find anyone, I have no choice but to go."
If it is impossible to go, a group of scholars can actually go to Hualou easily if something happens...
She thought so, Zhao Wanwan said over there, "I'm afraid that my husband will forget me after he leaves me. It is said that scholars like to go to flower houses for drinking orders or something."
It turned out that she was clear in her heart.
Li Qinghe suggested, "Why don't you go find someone to do your job for you, I'm sure you can find someone in this town, at worst, you can give me some benefits."
Hearing this, Zhao Wanwan seemed a little impatient, "But I found someone, what if they don't return it to me after I come back, or if she does better than me, what if the restaurant doesn't want me?"
Speaking of later, the tone is not very good.
She was upset, and Li Qinghe lost her mind, and said, "Your fourth brother is still waiting for me, so let it be."
She turned around, but Zhao Wanwan grabbed her sleeve, "Sister, from the way you looked just now, you seem to be very familiar with the chef?"
"Just acquaintance." Li Qinghe said calmly, "If you want to ask him to help you collect a few fish, it's okay, but if you want to save your work, I'm afraid it won't work." After finishing speaking, he pulled out his sleeves, turned and walked out the door.
Zhao Wanwan wanted to chase after her again, but someone in the kitchen shouted, "Where is the fire, where did you go to be lazy?"
No matter how unwilling you are, you can only go in, "Here we come."
After leaving the back kitchen, Li Qinghe shook his head and stopped thinking about Zhao Wanwan.
There are still too few chickens in the house, but the chickens are all hatched by themselves, and in addition to premature death, this is much more difficult than feeding fish.
She and Zhou Chengkang went to the seed shop, where they usually grow barley and rice. Since she doesn't have a paddy field, she can't grow rice, so she can only buy barley.
When the two of them returned home, it was still early in the morning, and Mrs. Qian came from the opposite side in a sloppy manner, wearing old and patched clothes. She had come back from the fields, and at this hour, she probably came back to cook.
"You went to town, why didn't you bring back some buns and bones?" Qian asked with a frown after looking it over.
Li Qinghe said casually, "It's too late, it's gone."
"Go back," Li Qinghe urged Zhou Chengkang, who was not looking well, "I'll go back and cook."
Zhou Chengkang looked at her, wanted to touch her hair to comfort her, but thought that Mrs. Qian was beside her, so he had to give up, "Don't think too much, just look forward."
After he left, Li Qinghe came in, and Qian poked his head out from the kitchen, "Hurry up and help, do you still want to eat?"
Speaking in a preaching tone, Li Qinghe originally planned to help with the cooking, but her attitude was too natural, so she couldn't get used to her problem, so she turned and walked in, "I'm not hungry."
If you don’t eat, you don’t have to do it, right
Sure enough, Mrs. Qian stopped talking, and shrank back with a sneer.
When the meal was ready, she really took all of it to the field, leaving nothing behind. Li Qinghe was not angry, and went to the kitchen to cook by herself.
The weather gradually warmed up, and every family started planting in spring. Li Qinghe was a wasteland, and she and Zhou Chengkang were the only ones who planted very slowly. She was not in a hurry. All planted.
After planting over there, Li Fu has not yet finished planting here. Qian is not feeling well and is resting at home. Li Qinghe went to help plant for a day.
When the father and daughter came back at night, they found that there was a cold pot and a cold stove. Li Fu hadn't started cooking the food yet. Naturally, it was impossible for Li Fu to cook. Li Qinghe went into the kitchen by herself. She was really hungry.
Li Fu might as well hold her back, "Don't do it, let's take a break, I'll let your Aunt Qian do it."
However, after searching inside and outside the house twice, there was no one in sight.
After the father and daughter looked at each other, it was Li Qinghe who went to the kitchen to cook, and Li Fu even ran to help her light the fire.
As soon as the food for the two of them was put on the table, it was already dark outside. Li Fu looked outside several times, and his complexion was already unsightly. After the two of them finished eating, Li Fu was going to look for it, but he came back by himself.
"Where did you go? Can't you see it in the dark? If something happens, where can I find you?"
When Li Fu first came back, he was tired and hungry, and he was very angry. Now that he was full, most of his anger disappeared, but his tone was really not very good.
Mrs. Qian was very happy at first, but frowned upon hearing this, "Yanxi and the others are leaving, I will send them off."
Li Fu snorted coldly, "You went to town, who did you say hello to? You can't come back sooner."
"It's so close, what could happen?" Qian didn't think so.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Li Qinghe went back to the room by himself, intending to avoid it, but when he was still under the eaves, he heard Qian's dissatisfaction, "Qinghe told you something about me again, once I come back you A nose is not a nose, and a face is not a face, so who should you show your face to?"
Conscience of heaven and earth, Li Qinghe does sometimes say that the Qian family is not good, but what he says is the truth and has never been arranged. Besides, she really didn't say anything today. No matter who she meets in this kind of thing today, she will get angry. When she first came back, she was also hungry, so she almost gave up. After hearing Qian's words, Immediately became angry, and did not go back to the room, turned around and re-entered the main room, and said, "I will let the Zhou family watch the wedding date, and get married as soon as possible."
Li Fu was taken aback, and when he was about to speak, Li Qinghe had already turned around and left the door.
She and Qian shi looked at each other and hated each other, but Li Fu couldn't let him go, and he had to leave sooner or later, so it's better to get married sooner. Besides, marrying Zhou Chengkang is still pretty good.
The latter is more important.
When she went to the pond the next morning, Zhou Chengkang was already there and had finished feeding the fish. The two of them talked about fry and chicks, and he suddenly said, "Qinghe, let's get married, and I will cook for you later."
This is still concerned about Qian's attitude taken for granted yesterday, Li Qinghe looked into his eyes, "Okay."
"You agreed?" Zhou Chengkang was overjoyed immediately, and reached out to hold her hand, "I'll let someone watch the day immediately."
The two of them were very happy when they decided on this. Zhou Chengkang was in a hurry, and while Li Qinghe was watching, he ran to find Xi Po by himself.
In the afternoon, news came out that the wedding date of the fourth child of the Zhou family was set on the fifth day of April, which was two months away.
This news is not surprising. Before the two of them, Zhou Chengkang helped catch and sell fish every day, and he helped farm the land after the next year. He even lived in the shack built by the chickens. Get close, sooner or later you will get married.
In fact, if the two of them hadn't gotten so close like this, maybe someone would have come to discuss marriage with Li Qinghe. It's because what she has now is so eye-catching. A fish pond, that pond is a hen that lays golden eggs, earning income every year.
The wedding date was set, and the relationship between the two of them was no different from before, maybe it was a little different, more intimate, it should be that Zhou Chengkang was more confident, he often held her hand, it could be seen that he was looking forward to getting married.
Once the marriage is settled, you have to start preparing the dowry. Yu Yan came here to congratulate the two on their marriage, and asked her with a smile, "Do you want me to embroider your wedding dress for you?"
A girl from a peasant family usually only has a little embroidery on her wedding dress, or even a little embroidery, and she probably knows that she doesn't want to go to the Zhang family. What came back was a rare piece of bright red fabric. Li Qinghe herself can only embroider some simple ones, "I will do the wedding dress myself, I have already thought about your job, you help me embroider the quilt."
Hearing this, Yu Yan wasn't unhappy either, she even teased her, "Then I will embroider pomegranates for you, okay? The implication is good, after you cover it, you will have a baby soon..."
Li Qinghe glared at her, "Embroider some better for me."
Yu Yan laughed out loud, and after she finished laughing, she said, "I'll go to the cloth shop with you to choose embroidery thread, and I'll make sure it looks good."
Marriage is a very cumbersome matter, Mrs. Xu is not convenient to help, Mrs. Qian does not count on it, and Li Qinghe prepares everything by herself. The next day, she went to choose the quilt, fabric and embroidery thread first, and then took Zhou Chengkang's measured size Go to town and make furniture.
At this time, Zhou Chengkang's mother and son came to the door with a matchmaker to deliver the dowry.
The Zhou family's dowry is quite standard, with dim sum melon seeds cloth, this cloth includes the bride and parents. It is worth mentioning that five taels of silver were placed on the cloth for Li Qinghe.
A small silver ingot is considered a great sincerity in this Wang village, and there is really no one who sends it so generously. Either it's like the Hu family and Zhao Wanwan talking about the dowry, and they can't decide without discussing it a few times. Let's say it was a dowry gift, but it was actually negotiated on conditions. For example, the Hu family meant that they could help the Li family save food tax in the future.
But there were no conditions at all. Li Qinghe was also quite surprised and watched Zhou Chengkang a few times.
You don't need to think about it to know that the money was not from Zhou's mother, it must have been saved by him, when did he save it
No matter what you think in your heart, the marriage is settled.
When he asked privately the next day, Zhou Chengkang said helplessly, "It's not mine, it's borrowed."
Li Qinghe was suspicious, she didn't ask for five taels of silver, so what's going on
Seeing her doubts, Zhou Chengkang explained in a low voice, "Mother borrowed it, and I agreed. The third brother is five taels, so naturally you can't miss it."
