The journey went smoothly. The village usually has a lot of people staying overnight. Some of them have specially prepared houses for passers-by. They can also provide hot water and help feed the horses, but they can't find a doctor.
They picked a clean house to live in, and then asked about the doctor.
There is a doctor in the village, but it is a pity that he does not treat the dog. He is afraid that the dog’s bones will be broken if he is not sure. After that, he will be really lame. His advice is, don’t touch it, and don’t treat it. Grow well.
The two returned from the doctor's house to the host's house. Zhou Chengkang touched its leg, "Why don't I pick it up for it?"
Li Qinghe looked at him suspiciously, "Can you set bones?"
"I have learned a little bit." Zhou Chengkang smiled and asked the master to prepare the wooden planks, and continued, "Uncle Hu taught me earlier that he would only pick the simplest ones. But it's better than leaving it alone, right?"
Half an hour later, the puppy's legs were tied up. The two of them worked hard for a long time, and they still felt a sense of accomplishment.
In the afternoon of the next day, when the two arrived home, they not only pulled a carriage, Li Qinghe also hugged a wounded puppy.
When the two came back, everyone knew that the two ran to the county seat without saying a word, and came back quite smoothly.
Seeing the material brought back by Li Qinghe, many people asked about the price. Originally, it cost eight qian per horse, but in the end, many people wanted to talk a little bit. The first person who asked was Third Aunt, who didn’t want to sell it. Refused, at the end of the sale, there was only the last bit left, and she actually sold it for a tael or two. She really didn't expect that this could make money, so she should have brought more.
The Zhou family was lively for a long time. After the two of them washed up and traveled around for a few days, they were finally able to sleep peacefully.
The next morning, the two of them still got up late. Li Fu had asked Li Fu to feed the pond at home these past few days. It wasn't that he didn't want to find Zhou's mother, but she had never fed it, but Li Fu had seen the two of them anyway. Hey, just tell him how much to feed.
After breakfast, Li Qinghe picked up the baggage that Zhao Wanwan asked her to bring and went to Li's house. When he arrived, he saw Mrs. Qian doing laundry in the yard, but Li Fu didn't see anyone, but the door of the main room was open, so he should be inside.
Seeing her, Mrs. Qian didn't greet her, and didn't look over her eyes. It seemed that she was really angry with her.
Li Qinghe put the burden in front of her, and Qian continued to do the laundry, "No."
The two words are crisp and clear.
Li Qinghe laughed angrily, "You don't think I bought something to make amends for you, do you?"
Qian shi snorted softly, very disdainful.
"Really?" Li Qinghe asked again.
"No." Qian Shi wrung out the clothes and put them aside to dry. Li Qinghe reached out to pick them up and said unhurriedly, "Since I don't want them, I can use them as firewood."
She carried the bag to the kitchen, and said loudly, "It's a pity that Wanwan entrusted me to bring it back from such a long distance, and she didn't want it!"
In the next moment, Qian's wind blew in and snatched it away, "You didn't say it earlier!"
Is it my fault
Li Qinghe laughed angrily, "Give it back to me, I won't take this burden with me, and when I go again next year, I will send it back to her!"
"Who knows if you want to have sex with yourself." Qian was not polite.
It's really nonsense, why does Li Fu think that Qian's is good everywhere, and wants to associate with her behind Xu's back? Apart from looking better than her peers, what else is she different from others? In terms of good looks, the Xu family back then was not inferior to her. Even after being pampered and pampered all these years, the Xu family has long been much prettier than Qian's.
While the two were talking, Li Fu came out after hearing the noise, and Li Qinghe didn't bother to tell her, so he gave him the snacks he had brought.
Li Fu took it, seeing that it was a snack, he was a little happy, "Eat it yourself, what do you give me?"
"I didn't buy much. I don't have any in town. You can try it." Qian Shi still didn't come home, and now she was glancing at her quietly. Li Qinghe didn't want to stay any longer, so he got up and went home.
In the days that followed, most of their thoughts were on the new house, and they were only waiting for the housewarming on the fifth day of October.
As the two were about to move, the atmosphere at home seemed a bit wrong, but both of them were busy there and didn't put much thought at home.
This housewarming is different from other happy events, those can be helped by someone the day before, but as for the housewarming, the fire starts on the selected day, so the people who helped the day before need to go back to Zhou's house for dinner.
This time there were a lot of people eating, and on the other hand, help was needed for cooking. Surprisingly, not only sister-in-law Mei, but Zhang Haiyao also came in to help with a full belly, and she didn't talk to Li Qinghe any more eccentric, especially Strange.
Everyone in the family helped, and the fourth day went smoothly. On the fifth day, Li Qinghe started to pack things early in the morning, and helped move all the furniture and other things because there were so many people today. Zhou's mother had told them in private earlier that all the better furniture in this room should be taken away, so that no one would get distracted by putting them here.
Li Qinghe's house was a newly built house at the beginning, except for a bed, all the furniture in it was brought as a dowry by her. If the good furniture were removed, the house would be empty.
Basically, people who are familiar and close are willing to help move. When there are more people who help, they all move there in one trip, and then they worship the Kitchen God, light the fire, and then start cooking.
The dishes are also good. Li Qinghe specially reserved fish, one for each table, and Mei's tofu. She also bought another dish. The green vegetables were planted long ago after she set a date, and the meat was bought Fresh ones, this banquet is in the village, so it can’t be said that it is bad, one fish per table is considered a big deal, and it can be regarded as a feast for the guests and hosts.
Moving house is very lively, just like other happy events, even people who have some disagreements will not pick today to make trouble. It was Mrs. Qian, who passed by her several times, but didn't talk to her. She didn't have the awkwardness of the previous days, and she hesitated to speak a few times, as if she had something to say.
Many people also praised their house to the two, especially the courtyard wall. Even Zhou's mother got a lot of good words, and praised her son and daughter-in-law. If they want, they can move to the new house. come and live.
After the excitement, everyone dispersed. Mother Zhou and Fifth Sister stayed behind to help clean the yard, and Mrs. Mei helped to make the tofu for Li Qinghe. After that, she didn't do any business and just took a rest for a day. Now helping to clean the yard, even Mrs. Liu is there, Zhang Haiyao has a full stomach, and like Li Qingmiao, she sweeps the floor with a broom.
The two sisters-in-law were helping each other, and they secretly looked at each other, glancing at each other secretly from time to time.
But there was no quarrel, there were many people helping, and the inside and outside of the house, including the yard, were quickly cleaned up. Before dark, Li Qinghe reheated the rest of the food and left the Zhou family to eat.
After dinner, Zhou's mother left with the family. Li Qinghe and Zhou Chengkang stood at the door, watching them go further and further away. At this moment, they were the only two left in the yard. Li Qinghe smiled, looked at the people around him, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations on brother Zhou's housewarming."
Zhou Chengkang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he cupped his hands, "Congratulations to Mrs. Zhou on her housewarming."
The two looked alike, laughed and walked into the door holding hands.
On the first night of the new house, I didn't know whether it was excitement or acceptance of the bed, anyway, the two of them tossed and turned before falling asleep in the middle of the night.
The next morning, when Li Qinghe woke up, his surroundings were already cold. When he sat up, he saw the figure of Zhou Chengkang in the courtyard cleaning outside the kitchen. After putting away the broom, he knocked on the door and said, "Ma'am, the food is ready. Do you want to eat now?"
Li Qinghe leaned on the pillow and said with a light smile, "What if I don't eat now?"
"If you don't eat, you won't be hungry. When you're hungry, I'll heat it up for you again." Zhou Chengkang smiled and opened the door into the room, squatting in front of the bed, "What's your order, madam?"
"You're still a villain." Li Qinghe poked his forehead and said with a smile, "This big guy, how can he be so small? I didn't tell you, you go out first."
Zhou Chengkang pinched her tricky finger on the forehead and kissed it, then picked up the clothes next to her, "Is it necessary to dress? The villain can do it for me."
"It's not over, is it?" Li Qinghe sat up, "Do you want me to take you to a big show?"
Zhou Chengkang was lying on the side of the bed, buried his head in the quilt and let out a muffled laugh. It took him a while to raise his head and hold her hand. There were tears in the corners of his eyes, as if he was smiling. He looked very serious, "Qinghe, last night After you fell asleep, I didn't fall asleep all night, feeling like a dream."
Li Qinghe's heart was slightly sour, but also a little sweet, and he stroked his stubbled chin with the same serious expression, "It's not a dream!"
Zhou Chengkang didn't sleep all night, and he was full of energy. After the two of them had dinner, he ran outside the yard to feed the fish and the chicken on the right. After returning, he started to make a dog house for Rhubarb with great interest.
There were a lot of wooden planks left over from building the house earlier, so he took some and started to make them. Li Qinghe and a little rhubarb squatted beside him.
Two people and one dog are very harmonious, against the green hills behind the house and the pond in front of the house, like a picture scroll.
A woman supporting her waist came up to the side of the picture scroll, walking cautiously, Li Qinghe's door was open, and when she looked up, she saw Zhang Haiyao coming from afar. After moving, they will be far away from them. Similarly, it will not be easy for them to find Li Qinghe.
Standing at the door, Zhang Haiyao looked at Zhou Chengkang's banging, and asked curiously, "Sister and sister, what are you doing?"
"Make a dog house." Li Qinghe stood up, her legs were sore from squatting, she tapped her legs, and asked, "Why is the third sister-in-law here?" With such a big belly, she is not afraid of falling on the road.
Zhang Haiyao stepped into the door, "I have something to discuss with you." Looking up and seeing Li Qinghe's suspicious face, she said seriously, "It's business."
