Gritting her teeth and carrying the person on her back, Li Qinghe started to go down the mountain, all the way downhill. After turning two turns, she felt her calf began to tremble, but the person on the back didn't say a word for a long time except for heavy breathing and painful groans.
She was a little scared in her heart. There were so many emergencies, such as the appendix, it was a stomachache, and a bad one could be fatal. Li Qingmiao and her had a good relationship when they were young, and now they are still sisters-in-law, and they are the closest to her among these sister-in-laws. After all, she couldn't help it, and she whispered, "Qingmiao, you are better than the bundle I just carried. The firewood is much heavier."
After a long while, I heard her say, "It's said that she is the second sister-in-law... You actually compare me with firewood."
The corner of Li Qinghe's mouth smiled, and he went down the mountain quickly and steadily, listening to the complaints from the people on his back from time to time along the way.
After a quarter of an hour, they finally reached the foot of the mountain. Li Qinghe's feet were already unsteady, and he was planning to find a place to put her down when he saw Zhou Chengkang approaching in front of him. What's wrong?"
Zhou Er Er took the person over, Li Qinghe took a few breaths, saw that Li Qingmiao had closed her eyes, and hurriedly said, "She fell and said her stomach hurts."
The four quickly returned to Zhou's house, and then got into the carriage. In less than a quarter of an hour, they had arrived at the hospital.
"The tire is moving." After the doctor took the pulse, his face was full of hatred, "How can I do heavy work, and even wrestle... Whether I can keep it depends on fate."
The three of them were stunned. In the past two days, Li Qingmiao had almost caught up with the two brothers in carrying firewood. She was walking like flying. Who could tell that she was pregnant
"Then trouble the doctor to quickly dispense the medicine for us." Zhou Er Er looked anxiously, looked at the pale man with closed eyes, and added, "Prepare the medicine, I have the money!"
After dispensing the medicine, Li Qinghe carried it. On the way back, the carriage slowed down a lot. Li Qingmiao still didn't wake up. She leaned her head on Zhou Lao Er's body, as if she had fallen asleep.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, her parents were already waiting there. Looking at the posture, they would go to the town if they didn't come back. When they saw the sleeping daughter, their faces were full of anxiety, "What's the matter? Where did you fall?" ?”
Li Qinghe let them get into the carriage sideways, and said, "I've got gas in my tires. The doctor prescribed medicine and said to rest well and eat some supplements. I'll catch one of my roosters and make soup for her later." .”
Hearing this, Mother Li looked surprised, "Is she pregnant?" After realizing it, she said gratefully, "Qing He, thank you very much."
Li Qinghe was actually a little nervous. These few days they were chopping firewood together. Although everyone was working, Li Qingmiao actually stayed with her more. Everyone had a companion. Now that something happened, she still I'm afraid her parents will blame her. Reasonable ones naturally wouldn't, and if they met that unreasonable and messy person, it's really possible to blame her.
While talking, they had already arrived at Li Qingmiao's house, and seeing Zhou Lao Er carry him in, the two returned to Zhou's house, went to the new house to grab a rooster and sent it to him.
When it was delivered, Li Qingmiao was already awake, her face turned pale, and she took her hand, "I didn't expect this to happen, did it scare you?"
"It's good that you're fine!" Li Qinghe saw that although she was pale, she was in good spirits, "Is your stomach still hurting? Do you want to call a doctor?"
"It hurts a little bit." Li Qingmiao looked bitter, "They won't let me get out of bed."
"Your body is important." Li Qinghe laughed, "Lie down for a few more days, besides, you have a baby in your belly, so be careful, you won't be able to cut firewood."
When the two talked about chopping firewood, they looked at each other and laughed.
Not long after, Zhou's mother, who got the news, also arrived, and even caught an old hen and sent it specially. The Li family became lively, seeing that Li Qingmiao was fine, he was a little more happy.
When they got home, it was already late. Li Qinghe had been running around for a long time today, and worried for a long time. In fact, he was more tired than normal work, and Mother Zhou even asked them to have dinner together.
The two of them didn't refuse, they had dinner with Zhou's mother and Fifth Sister, and while they were eating, Zhang Haiyao came in.
She supported her waist, sat down with a smile, and took the steamed bun by herself, "Second sister-in-law is pregnant?"
Mother Zhou glanced at her and hummed.
Zhang Haiyao took a bite, "Mother, I saw you brought the old hen over just now, where is my one?"
Li Qinghe and Zhou Chengkang looked at each other, it was really rude.
Zhou's mother put down the bowl, and the porcelain knocked on the wooden table, making a slight "bang". If you don’t like it, you can kill it and feed it to the dog, that’s also my business.”
May Zhou's mother be so strict suddenly, Zhang Haiyao was stunned for a moment, and the steamed bun in her mouth could not be chewed anymore, but Zhou's mother didn't just let her go, and continued, "It's like the steamed bun you ate, I don't talk, I don't It means that I am willing to give you food, and people must be self-aware. Don’t make people hate you and feel that you are so great.”
"Isn't it just a coarse grain bun?" Zhang Haiyao turned cold, stood up and said, "Just don't eat it, anyway, the child in my belly is not as good as the one with another family name."
After speaking, he lifted the curtain and went out.
Zhou's mother was so angry that her chest collapsed, and Li Qinghe was a little worried. If the anger came out for good or bad... hurriedly persuaded, "Mother, don't be angry, if you don't like to hear it, just treat her as a fart. Who takes farts seriously? There's no point in feeling bad about it."
Fifth Sister quietly poured a glass of water and put it in her hand. Zhou's mother sighed and took a sip of water, "It's really hard for me to have a child with someone's last name, but no matter whose last name you have, you have to have a child first. Now...it's pretty good. "
Listening to this, it is really inexplicably reasonable. If it weren't for the marriage, the brothers in this family would still be bachelors. Anyway, she can figure it out by herself.
"Eat, don't let her ruin your good mood." Zhou's mother looked at the two of them, "Don't be too busy all day, the children are important."
This Li Qinghe is really not in a hurry, she is still young, and besides, she knows better, the child will wait for two years, it is not so dangerous for her to have a child when she is older, and after two years they have settled down there, It doesn't have to be so busy and it's good for the kids.
Zhou Chengkang took over the conversation and said with a smile, "Mother, don't worry about us, we know it well."
Mother Zhou put down the bowls and chopsticks, "You two are the most worry-free. Although the boss's daughter-in-law is a little cautious, she has a skill after all. The second child's reputation is a bit ugly, but Li The old couple treated him well. I'm not worried, it's just... "
She looked in the direction of Zhou Laosan's house, hating iron for being weak, "That bastard! She spent so much money and said she was a girl from the town, but my mother didn't like it. She also said that the family was pampered and rich, and her eyelids Shallow!"
She shook her head, "I just hope that the child doesn't follow her. I don't want to earn money for everything, but want to share it. Fortunately, my flesh and blood can't be exchanged for money, or I will have to let her dismantle it."
Zhou Chengkang comforted in a low voice, but Li Qinghe didn't say anything. In fact, she agreed with Zhou's mother's words, but it couldn't be said. If they complained together, they would still think she was talkative and provocative.
In the days that followed, the two still went up the mountain to cut firewood. They chopped up and down for a month, filling up the woodshed and the backyard of the new house. I can't cut it any more, and the autumn harvest has begun.
This year's autumn harvest, apart from the barren land, Zhou Chengkang also got a piece of land and a small paddy field. But this year there probably won't be any harvest. First, we have to pay the grain tax, and then we have to pay back the 100 catties of grain owed, so there probably won't be much left.
The autumn harvest of farmers' families is really day and night. The daytime is too hot, and many people take advantage of the moonlight to harvest wheat at night.
The two of them don't have much land, so they go every morning and evening, rest when the sun is high, and take it back in two or three days. It is worth mentioning that the brothers in Zhou's yard are so small that they want to dry the wheat. It was inconvenient at all, Li Qinghe and the others simply didn't take it, and moved directly to the new house, the yard was big enough for them.
After harvesting in the fields, there are still a few mu of wheat in the wasteland. It is said that it is a few mu, but there is really not much harvested. If you have to pay grain taxes, it is equivalent to working for nothing for a year. However, this kind of land will harvest more and more every year.
The two brought the grain into the door, and many families in the village, such as Li Fu, had just started.
This year, the Qian family still won't go to the fields, and only let Li Fu go by himself. Her way of doing this is actually very criticizing. Forget about the slack season. If the autumn harvest is so busy, if you don’t help, if there is a heavy rain, then there will be no harvest.
After finishing his own work, Zhou Chengkang went to help Zhou's mother for a day, cut everything up and moved them home, and then went to Li's house.
Li Qinghe also went, but Qian Shizhen only cooked at home, because the two of them went to help, and Li Fu even took money to let her go to the town to buy some meat back.
They said they were helping, but in fact only Zhou Chengkang was there in the morning and evening, while Li Qinghe had to feed the fish and chickens, and also went back to the new house to turn the wheat. She didn't have much free time, and she took the tea to the field.
She went early that day, thinking that she might not have finished drinking the water she brought to the field, so she simply didn't bring it, but it didn't take long for the water to run out. The work of fetching water must be hers, and neither of them would compete with her.
Carrying the teapot, there was no water in the new house, and she didn't burn it in the Zhou family's yard, so she went back to Li's house to get it. Qian Shi tidied up at home, the tea should still be ready.
As soon as he entered the yard, he saw a person coming out of the house, an acquaintance.
— Zhao Tianfu.
He was so courageous that he went straight into the house. The last time Li Qinghe saw the two of them interacting was when Zhao Wanwan was discussing marriage with the Hu family, unexpectedly, he went straight into the house this time.
Seeing her come back with a teapot, Qian Shi was also stunned standing under the eaves. In good conscience, Zhao Tianfu really just came, and he left as soon as he came. Who knew that such an inch could happen to him.
"This is Qinghe, right?" Zhao Tianfu greeted first. He was a little fat, fat, with a red nose and dark red face. It should be caused by long-term alcoholism. "I heard from Wanwan that you take good care of her, Zhao Uncle remembers that, in the future, if you need something, you can come to me." He patted his chest, "Whoever can help will definitely help."
Qian was very anxious, and urged, "Let's go quickly, there are so many words."
Zhao Tianfu left with a smile, and Qian stepped forward to take Li Qinghe's teapot, "Is there no water? I've prepared everything. The freshly brewed tea quenches your thirst."
Li Qinghe stood under the big tree in the yard, watching Qian Shi quickly poured tea in the kitchen, she reached out to take it, turned and went out.
"Qinghe," Qian called her, "There is nothing between me and Wanwan's father, can you pretend you didn't see it?"
