Mrs. Xu is not stupid, she understood her daughter's meaning in an instant, and the smile on the corner of her mouth turned cold, "Her mother has the same status as me, she usually visits a lot, and she is still close. I didn't expect her to do such a thing behind my back. Got it, don't worry."
Saying that, he handed the purse in her hand again, "Put it away, I still have it there."
"I can't delay for too long. When I came here, I agreed to go back in an hour. Seeing that you are doing well, I am relieved. If there is anything, go to Zhang's house to find me." She was about to go out as she spoke. Go to the pond outside the gate, and said with a smile, "Catch me one of your fish."
Li Qinghe went to catch fish, just when Bin'er came out from the backyard, he squatted by the pond and watched her fish, rather curiously, "Is raising fish fun?"
"It's fun." Li Qinghe glanced at him, "Do you want to try it?"
Bin'er became interested, took the fishing net to the net, and immediately caught three fish of different sizes, the small ones were only as big as a palm, Li Qinghe smiled, and filled him with a bucket, "I'll give you all."
It didn't take half an hour for Mrs. Xu to leave the door. Li Qinghe personally sent their mother and son to Zhou's house and watched them get into the carriage.
Zhang Haiyao next to her was wearing a cloth towel on her head, and she looked proud, "My mother said, when I am full moon, let me go back and live for a month."
"Very good." Li Qinghe replied casually, not paying attention.
"By the way, I brought a lot of dim sum. You can take some back to taste later. They are very expensive." She said, turned around and entered the door, and quickly brought out a small bag of dim sum. To the mother."
Li Qinghe glanced at it, but didn't reach out to pick it up, and said with a smile, "You need to replenish your body now, so keep it for yourself."
After finishing speaking, he asked again, "Earlier, you said how much fish you want for the full moon banquet? It's the same price as the restaurant in the town, twelve yuan, so I can fish it out in advance."
Zhang Haiyao's face froze, "Can't it be cheaper?"
Li Qinghe said calmly, "When the time comes, I can give you a few tens of pennies when the weighing is over." It is impossible to sell half and give half away.
"Then... don't let it go." Zhang Haiyao tentatively said, "It's the same to buy more meat."
Li Qinghe agreed, "That's fine." People in the village held weddings, and apart from her and the Yang family, no one really served a whole fish.
"The child is crying." Mother Zhou shouted over there.
Zhang Haiyao sighed and lowered her voice, "Let me tell you, since I knew it was a daughter, my mother was not very happy. Basically, I seldom hugged her. Half of the soup I made was sent to my second sister-in-law. It means that the second sister-in-law is looking forward to having a son."
It's boring to say this, Li Qinghe doesn't like to hear it, the child is his own, so it's good for grandma to love her, if she doesn't like it, don't she still have to live? Staring at this thing every day is asking for guilt.
Besides, Zhou's mother is also very careful, they have already separated and killed the chicken and stewed it for her to eat. The reason for giving it to the young crops is that the month is too old there, and it is about to give birth. What's the matter with some soup
You must know that there are many old women in the village who prefer sons to daughters. If their daughter-in-law gives birth to a daughter, let alone stewed chicken, they don't even have an egg, and they still have no separation. Zhou's mother is patriarchal, so what's the deal
So, this person, it depends on what you think.
Seeing that there was no movement here, Zhou's mother shouted again, "The child is hungry."
Zhang Haiyao shook her head and stood up, "Here we are."
Li Qinghe didn't stay long, and stayed mainly to ask for fish. Since she didn't want it, there was no need to fish it, and it saved trouble.
Soon it was the first day of the full moon, and not many people came to the full moon banquet. Unmarried girls and men generally did not go, so there were not many people. In contrast, there are not many people who help, mainly my close neighbors and relatives.
Li Qinghe naturally wanted to go, and everything went smoothly. It is worth mentioning that on the day of Zhang Haiyao's full moon banquet, a horse-drawn carriage came from the town and delivered a whole chicken, duck, half a pig, and two pieces of cloth. This is a big deal in the entire Wang village, including the town. Many people praised the generosity of the Zhang family and loved this daughter. Zhang Haiyao spoke modestly, but the smile on her face was extraordinary.
After the full moon feast, it was already April. Apart from pulling weeds in the fields, Li Qinghe had nothing to do. Looking at the sweet potato seedlings, Li Qinghe simply started digging the cellar.
After Li Fu came to live for four or five days, he moved back.
Only the two of them can dig this cellar.
Zhou Chengkang was actually a solid worker, and would not refuse Li Qinghe's proposals. He started digging near the pigsty, and he dug very quickly. In just four or five days, he had dug a large cellar out.
All the excavated soil was picked up and dumped in the vegetable field, and there was a big pile. The vegetable field was outside the courtyard wall in the backyard. Yingying and Zhou Chengkang were talking about something.
She walked out without slowing down. Zhou Chengkang over there saw her and hurried over to pick her up.
Li Qinghe squeezed his shoulders and asked, "Miss Yang is here, but is there something wrong?"
Yang Lanrou held a plate in his hand, and there were three steamed buns in it, "I have learned how to make steamed stuffed buns in the past two days, and I have made too many steamed stuffed buns. This place is too far from the village, but it is closer to your home. I specially sent them here for you to try Taste. It's too hot, and it will spoil if you don't eat."
"No need." Zhou Chengkang poured the mud into the vegetable field, "Miss Yang is too polite. It's a pity that we don't like steamed stuffed buns, so if you give them to us, they might spoil them, so it's a waste."
Li Qinghe felt a little more at ease. To be honest, she had seen a lot of Yang Lanrou and Xu Changjie's overt and secret interactions in her previous life. The smile was exactly the same as when she asked Xu Chang in her previous life.
But the difference is that Xu Changjie never refuses her, and accepts all her requests and gifts. At first, she thought she was too stingy, but now it seems that there are still some neighbors who don't help each other.
"You are too polite. We will be neighbors in the future, we need to see each other more." Yang Lanrou handed the bun to Li Qinghe, "Take it and taste it."
"We really don't eat buns." Li Qinghe looked at the buns in front of him and said with a smile, "If you don't mind, Rhubarb should like it."
Feed it to the dog!
Yang Lanrou's complexion changed, and she forced a smile, "Anyway, I gave it to you."
Zhou Chengkang took the plate and greeted the front yard, "Rhubarb."
Rhubarb rushed over quickly, scared Yang Lanrou back a few steps, he actually put all the buns on the ground, and then returned the plate to her, "Thank you, Rhubarb really likes it."
The smile on Yang Lanrou's face couldn't hold on any longer, she was at a loss as to what to do with the plate, and finally turned around, walking away quickly, feeling a little bit of running away.
Seeing her complexion, Zhou Chengkang smiled flatteringly, "Ma'am, what are you having for lunch?"
Li Qinghe smiled, "Eat buns."
Zhou Chengkang blinked, serious, "What buns to eat, I don't like buns. I'll cook noodles for you, okay?"
She really didn't expect that Yang Lanrou would come over to give some steamed stuffed buns. The Yang family moved, and she would go to help, purely to prevent the villagers from gossiping. Anyway, she didn't intend to make friends with the Yang family. It was indeed a little heartbreaking for the buns to feed rhubarb, but it also cut off the possibility of further contact with the Yang family. Those who want to save face will not come to the door again.
The two of them really ate noodles at noon. It is not easy for people nowadays to eat noodles. They need to knead the noodles to wake them up.
Fortunately, the two of them are not busy these days. Zhou Chengkang suggested, "Why don't we go hunting in the mountains? At this time last year, the harvest was pretty good."
Not to mention, last year Zhou Chengkang went up the mountain for half a month and earned a full five taels of silver. Neither of them was a publicity person, and no one knew about it.
From the next day, the two went up the mountain together. However, because there is a lot of work at home, it is quite late when I go, and I will come back early. I didn't kill much prey, but I got a lot of firewood. Anyway, there is no idle time.
Because of this, Yu Yan didn't come here much.
In fact, Yu Yan is the best-looking among the unmarried girls in the village, because she has embroidered since elementary school, has never been in the sun, and has never done rough work. Even in this village, the third aunt is not willing to let her do it. , the main reason is because she can earn money from embroidery, and she has good skin and smooth and delicate hands.
It's not a problem to earn three or four taels a month. If you marry her, the family's livelihood will be enough.
But this girl has high eyesight, and the third aunt saw that she was getting older and didn't look like she wanted to go home, so she simply proposed marriages for her, but she rejected them all without exception.
They were not biological mothers and daughters at first, and both parties wanted to get close to each other only tentatively. The third aunt didn't want to force her, and then ruin the intimacy between the two, so she let her go.
Li Qinghe knew that Yu Yan was a face controler, and that she was good-looking and could embroider, so she didn't worry about getting married at all, and usually didn't urge her to get married, but she didn't expect that someone would want to marry Yu Yan and come to her.
It was another afternoon when she and Zhou Chengkang came back from the mountain and ran into Youshi.
What impressed her the most about You Shi was that she brought Qian to visit Man Man at the beginning, and then the dispute between her and Qian Laiwen when Father Qian disappeared, she was really unfamiliar.
You Shi smiled, "Qing He, are you going back now?"
Li Qinghe was about to pass by just nodding his head as a greeting, but he nodded again, "It's getting late, I have to go back and feed the fish."
Seeing You Shi approaching her, "I have something to tell you."
As he said that, he turned around and went down the mountain with her. Li Qinghe was surprised, as if he came to find her specially, so Youshi asked tentatively, "I heard that you and that Miss Yu have a good relationship, and you often talk together while embroidering flowers?"
Be obedient and listen to the sound, people will not ask other girls for no reason, Li Qinghe thought about it for a while, and instantly understood what she meant.
Qian Laiman's older brother, Qian Laixing, had just returned from the county seat. He had fallen on the way to the county examination in March, and his arm was swollen.
"I'm not going to hide it from you. Lai Xing's master told me that he was on the designated list this year, so who knows what happened." Youshi sighed, "I'm already nineteen this year. If you don't want to talk about marriage, you should delay it." gone."
He asked Yu Yan first, then praised his son, and said that his son should get married. He really wanted to discuss marriage.
