The next morning, Li Qinghe went to the town with them again, and when they reached the gate of Li's house, he found Li Fu standing on the road with his hands behind his back, for an unknown how long, as if he was waiting for someone.
Seeing her coming, Li Fu took two steps forward, "Qing He."
Li Qinghe was a little surprised, motioned to Mei and the others to go first, and then stepped forward, "Father, what's the matter?"
"Why didn't you come back?" Li Fu looked serious.
Li Qinghe was stunned for a moment. The girls in this village, those who are close to each other, don't all go back home. Besides, they are going to pick them up. She seemed to get up too early that morning and left, and she didn't listen Zhou's mother and the others said that someone will pick them up here.
"It's such a busy day, I'm quite busy there, so it's so close to the door, why don't you use it?" Seeing Li Fu's serious expression, she thought for a while and said, "It will be the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days, and I will definitely come back then." In fact, the Dragon Boat Festival is still more than half a month away.
Li Fu's face softened a little, and he asked again, "I heard that you have separated, do you have any food at home? There are still some in the backyard, if you don't have any, go home and pull them out."
It was all good intentions, Li Qinghe nodded in agreement, "Thank you dad."
Li Fu looked complicated, "I'm your father, thank you. If you want to build a kitchen or a house, come back and tell me, and I'll help you when the time comes."
What's going on here
Li Qinghe was quite surprised, her father used to be very indifferent to her, she used to work as a helper in the town, sometimes she couldn't meet him for several days, and he didn't seem like he couldn't let go.
He looked at the prey in her hands, and was quite relieved, "Hurry up, these things will affect the price if they are stored for a long time, if you have time, come back and take a look."
After walking a long distance, Li Qinghe could still see him standing where he was when she turned her head. As a person, she was not afraid that people would treat her badly, at worst, everyone would be indifferent. If you treat her well, she will not be able to control her soft heart.
Seeing Mrs. Mei waiting at the entrance of the village in a blink of an eye, Li Qinghe shook off his thoughts and walked over quickly.
The two of them seemed to be getting closer after last night, but it was just that.
"That was your father just now, right? What did you say to you?" Mrs. Mei was curious.
Li Qinghe shook his head, "I didn't say anything, and asked me when I'd be home, probably because I needed something."
Mei nodded and asked again, "Are your sisters coming back? It seems that the list will be released in a few days."
"I don't know." Li Qinghe didn't care much.
Hearing this, Mrs. Mei was a little strange, looked at her a few times, and couldn't help but said, "I found that you really don't care. If your brother-in-law succeeds in one fell swoop, then you will be the elder sister of Mr. Xiucai." She moved closer, " Did they ask you to borrow money back then?"
"Where can I lend money to others?" Li Qinghe waved his hand, "Hurry up, it will be late in town later."
"Hey, you, I really do my best for you. If your younger sister has any difficulties, you can help her. Otherwise, when she becomes a talented lady, you just want to help, and it won't be your turn." It’s over.” Mei’s face was mysterious, “It’s said that it’s easy to add flowers to the cake, but it’s difficult to send carbon in the snow. Helping people only remembers love when they need it.”
Everyone understands the truth, but Li Qinghe's heart is a bit complicated. It's right for him to be so self-indulgent, and normal people can do it. But she just didn't want to do this, and besides, she didn't want to benefit from Hu Yanxi.
She ignored her, and Mei's own words were meaningless, and she gradually became quiet. It was not far to go to the town, and once she got used to walking, she didn't feel far away.
When they arrived in the town, Li Qinghe separated from them as usual, first went to the restaurant to sell the prey, and then bought a few steamed buns. The aunt saw her and gave her one specially. It’s no worse than buns, and I’ve earned a lot during this time.
Bought steamed stuffed buns, and the food at home was still a few catties when the family was separated. In fact, they have eaten almost the same in the past few days, and they have come here. Zhou Chengkang is not free. After thinking about it, I bought some refined noodles.
In fact, it was quite heavy, and when she went back, she felt a little sore when she carried it. In fact, when she bought it, she had deliberately calculated her own strength.
After walking more than halfway, Li Qinghe put down the grain bag, intending to rest for a while before picking it up, but it wasn't that she couldn't carry it, mainly because her hands were sore. At this moment, an ox cart stopped beside her, and the person sitting in front, It's Xu Changjie.
He smiled, "Qing He, come up and I'll take you for a ride."
He was not the only one in the car, there was also Yang Lanrou sitting in the back, with a shy face and looking at her warily.
Li Qinghe was a little dazed, she hadn't heard about Xu Changjie for several days, so she was so outspoken
At the beginning, she and Zhou Chengkang were also open-minded like this, but at that time, although the two of them didn't say it clearly, they both rushed to get married. These two... In fact, there is no other person in between, which is very good.
"No, we'll be there soon." Li Qinghe rebuffed straight away. She must have taken a ride with someone else. Yang Lanrou, who didn't look over there, relaxed when she heard her refusal.
Watching the bullock cart going to the village, Li Qinghe counted with his fingers. It seems that the Yang family probably happened recently. Later, when the yard next door to the Xu family was going to be sold, they moved to live next door to the Xu family. became neighbors.
When she arrived at the door of Li's house with food, Li Fu just came out of the backyard with a hoe, and saw the heavy bag in her hand, and frowned, "Why are you doing this kind of work?"
"I'll bring it back by the way." Li Qinghe replied casually.
However, Li Fu had already opened the courtyard door and walked out. He couldn't help but take it, "I'll take you back and see what the Zhou family is like by the way."
In fact, under normal circumstances, it should be seen before getting married, but it's not Li Fu, it must be Li Qinghe's mother, but her mother can't come back from the town, it should be Qian's, for example, the town's Hu family, Zhao Wanwan went there three times before they got married.
But so far, Li Fu has never been to Zhou's house.
The father and daughter were quite silent. Seeing that they had reached the door of the Zhou family, Li Fu whispered, "How is the Zhou family? Has anyone bullied you?"
"Very good." Li Qinghe replied with a smile, "Nobody bullies me, even if there is, Chengkang will help me."
Li Qinghe opened the courtyard door, took him in, and took him directly to the outside of his house. Li Fu looked it up and said, "The new house is pretty good, but the place is a bit small. I heard that your house is arguing because of the kitchen. Do you want to build one?"
"Not for now." Li Qinghe really didn't want to build a kitchen here, so he might as well save money and build one over the pond.
At the end of the sentence, I felt that I was too cold, and explained, "I want to save money, move to the pond, and take care of the fish pond and those chickens by the way."
Li Fu nodded in agreement. After looking around, he thought the house was a bit small, but there was a new house to be built over there. Looking at this place, he thought it was pretty good. "Okay, come home and find me if you have anything to do. We need to grow vegetables in the backyard.”
"Father, why don't you come back after dinner?" Li Qinghe hurriedly stopped him.
"Another day." Li Fu waved his hand and left quickly.
In the next few days, Zhou Chengkang came back with firewood and rabbits every day, and Li Qinghe sent them to the town every day, came back to feed the fish, and then cooked. In the afternoon, he either did something in the backyard or by the pond. The days were busy but fulfilling. One day when Mei came back from the town in the afternoon, Li Qinghe happened to be making dinner, so she ran to the kitchen, "Qinghe, are you cooking?"
In fact, since Mei's new kitchen was completed, she never seemed to come here. Li Qinghe looked up and saw her, and was quite surprised, "What's the matter?"
The Mei family was mysterious, "I have news about the scholars who went back to the county to take the county exam."
"Oh?" Li Qinghe was curious, "How?"
Seeing her curiosity, Mei said with a smile, "I thought you didn't care. Do you think anyone won this time? How many?"
Li Qinghe waved his hand, "I can't guess."
Mrs. Mei wanted to show off, but she didn't pick up the quarrel, so she had to stretch out three fingers, "I got three boys, and as for the scholar, there wasn't a single one."
"I thought someone was the winner. At that time, everyone in the town was talking about who the Hu family won, and it seemed like they were praising something." It was Zhang Haiyao who said this. She leaned on the kitchen door frame with her arms folded, smiling. Hehe said, "Sister and sister, the Hu family seems to be your sister's family. Your brother-in-law didn't win. Are you happy or unhappy?"
Li Qinghe glanced at her, "What do you mean by that?"
Zhang Haiyao spread her hands, "Everyone knows that, you and your younger sister are just trying to save face, you must be unhappy on the surface, but behind the scenes... hehe..."
"You're blocking my light, I can't see it anymore." Li Qinghe continued kneading the dough without raising his head.
Seeing the fine noodles in her basin, Zhang Haiyao couldn't help but said, "Sister and sister, you make fine noodles every day, fourth brother earns a lot, right?"
Very annoying!
Li Qinghe raised his eyes, "Can you control it?" Thinking of something, he asked again, "Sister-in-law, why haven't I seen you go back to your mother's house a few times? eat."
Hearing her exaggeration about her family, Zhang Haiyao was a little proud, "That's right. I'll be back in two days."
Li Qinghe was very serious, and agreed, "Go back and eat white rice, you really should go back!"
Why does this sound wrong, especially the tone, which is very weird, as if she went back to her mother's house to beat the autumn wind, and then tried to reason, but saw that Li Qinghe had already taken out a piece of meat and began to chop, and couldn't help asking, "Sister, is this a steamed bun?" ?”
"Yeah." Li Qinghe responded casually.
Zhang Haiyao tentatively asked, "Can you sell me two?"
What are you talking about selling? Could it be true that just two buns can really charge her money? If not, will Mei's send it
It's not that he was reluctant to make these buns, the main reason is that it's rare to make one. Li Qinghe was already busy, so he finally found time, but it wasn't for giving them to them. He shook his head immediately, "I have to give some to my mother, there are not many."
He secretly decided in his heart that the house site on the other side of the pond should be set aside as soon as possible, construction should start as soon as possible, and the house should be moved out as soon as possible.
The next morning, when Li Qinghe returned from sending the rabbit to the town, he stopped by the village chief's house and told him about building a house.
Building a house in the village does not need to spend money. As long as it is one's own land and not involved with other people, the foundation is still very easy, and it can be done just by talking about it.
When I went home and passed by Li's house, I found that Zhao Wanwan, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, had returned. She was dressed in gauze, her hair was pulled up and a hairpin was inserted on top. She stood reservedly in the yard, talking to Qian Shi who was washing clothes by the well. , very warmly greeted, "Sister, come back for lunch."
She also has generous moments? Didn't you go to the exam? This is getting rich
