Li Qinghe didn't see Qian Laixing very often. He looked gentle, but he was not as good as Xu Changjie. Youshi always took good care of him and never let him get close to any girls.
But in Li Qinghe's memory, this person has a good relationship with Qian Laiwen, because they both study and basically go in and out together. The same thing is that they are both frail scholars. Most of the money for their studies is earned by Qian Laiman and his parents.
Such a person wants to marry Yu Yan, but if it's because of some feelings, it's bullshit. He is clearly eyeing Yu Yan's embroidery skills. Rather than marrying a wife, he wants to marry a money basket.
Thinking of this, Li Qinghe stepped faster, and it was obvious that he wanted to get rid of Youshi.
Youshi is used to farm work, so he can easily catch up, "Qing He, take a break, and I'll talk to you about it."
Of course Li Qinghe didn't stop, but his feet were faster. It happened that someone on the mountain greeted Youshi, and he completely shook off the person.
Put down the firewood, just took a sip of water, someone knocked on the door outside, it's not over yet!
Li Qinghe went to open it, and it was indeed Youshi standing outside, she was not afraid of rhubarb, so she squeezed in.
"Qinghe, let me explain clearly. My family, Laixing, went out yesterday and met Ms. Yu. He fell in love with her right away. Ask me to ask. You can help my aunt to ask, okay?"
Li Qinghe sighed, "Yan'er hasn't thought about discussing marriage recently. Wouldn't it be better for you to ask the third aunt yourself?"
You Shi disapproved, and lowered his voice, "No, I can't ask. If they don't agree, it will be bad for both of us. She doesn't want to discuss marriage now, because she hasn't met the right person. Come on. Xing Xing will go to the county examination next year, if he wins, he will be a scholar, wait for a girl who can refuse?"
"You two have a good relationship. Besides, your third aunt is not your own mother. It's easier for her to talk to you. Just ask for me. If she doesn't agree, just pretend that I haven't been here."
Li Qinghe was helpless, "I'll go now, why don't you come with me?"
Youshi nodded, "But it's not easy for me to show up. I'll wait for you outside. If you go and ask for me, I'll know it in my heart, and I'll come to propose marriage when the time comes."
I have thought of proposing marriage, and I am really confident.
When she arrived, the third aunt was drying clothes in the yard, she was quite surprised when she saw her coming, "Qing He, why come here when you have time?"
"I'll talk to Yan'er." As she said that, she entered Yu Yan's room familiarly.
Yu Yan also made fun of her, "Why do you remember looking for me? Is there something serious?"
"Really." Li Qinghe lowered his voice, "Brother Qian Laiman, did you meet yesterday?"
Hearing this, Yu Yan was taken aback, "I don't know, I went to town yesterday and met so many people, how would I know which one is him?"
"My mother deliberately went to the mountain to block me today. She insisted that I ask you what's on your mind. She also said that her son fell this year and was unlucky. He will be on the designated list in the county examination next year."
Yu Yan chuckled, "That brother-in-law of yours said that last year. I don't know if he's on the list this year."
The news of the county examination, that is, these two days.
"I can tell you, I want you to tell me something, and don't pester me again." Li Qinghe shook his head and said, "After chasing me all the way, I insist on asking."
"Why didn't she come to ask herself?" She asked with a smile.
Li Qinghe spread his hands, "It is said that if you don't agree, it will be bad for the reputation of both parties. I am probably afraid that if you refuse, it will be bad for her son's reputation in the future."
She raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Why should I agree to such a family?"
"That's right." Li Qinghe was not surprised by her answer at all, "Then I'll just answer it like this. At first I didn't think it was necessary to ask, but I was afraid that what if you agreed?"
Yu Yan gave her a white look, "Let's talk back."
The two laughed and laughed for a long time before Li Qinghe came out of the yard. You Shi who was not far away quickly came over and asked with a smile, "How is it?"
Li Qinghe shook her head, "She didn't want to. She said she didn't even know anyone, and everyone didn't know her well."
Hearing this, the smile on You Shi's face froze, "No, did you tell her about Lai Xing's next year's test in Zhongxian County? Why did you refuse?" She looked up and down suspiciously, "Will you Didn't ask at all?"
"Forget it if you don't believe me, just ask yourself." Li Qinghe got annoyed, and walked away, "I'm still busy over there."
It's true that she was busy with work, not angry. The main reason was that she didn't want to get entangled with Youshi. She still remembered that when she came to Manman with money, she looked aloof and confident that her son was a sweet potato. It is better to have less contact with such people, and it is best not to contact them at all.
This time she did not catch up again, Li Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to work up the mountain.
Two days later, she heard that Mrs. You had approached Mrs. Qian and went to the third aunt's house, but she got the same rejection.
In mid-April, Li Qingmiao was born, and the mother and child were safe, and they were named Li Guangyao. Her father and mother were so happy that they told people everywhere to invite everyone to the full moon.
Li Qinghe got the news and went to her house with eggs. On the way, she met Zhou's mother who was carrying a pot of chicken soup, "Mom, I'll get it for you."
Zhou's mother avoided, "It's too hot, I'll do it myself." Her eyes swept over her belly intentionally or unintentionally, "It's better to have a baby earlier, a family will be lively when there are children, and the relationship between husband and wife will be better, no matter how much money you have. , where can there be cute children? Doesn’t your yard feel deserted?”
Caught off guard and being born, Li Qinghe was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, and said with a smile, "Mother, heirs follow fate."
Mother Zhou glared at her, "I can't see it after looking at it, you two have such a good relationship, why hasn't there been any happy news for more than a year?"
This made Li Qinghe blush a little, she coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment, "I really didn't mean it."
In fact, it was intentional. Both of them planned to open up all the wasteland and regenerate it. It was originally expected that all the wasteland would be opened in the spring of next year. This year has already been finished, but they still want to wait longer. It is not so dangerous to be older.
Zhou's mother stopped talking, "You two have the most ideas, I can't persuade you, but just take pity on me, okay, I'm relieved when you both have children, and dare to see your father after death... Your eldest brother and two are also..." She shook her head, looking like she couldn't say anything.
During the conversation, we have already arrived at Li's house, and the yard is full of joy. Li's mother is giving away boiled red eggs, saying that it is to make everyone happy. Zhou's mother is very jealous when she sees the baby in the swaddle, and she is reluctant to let go. Stopped, ran to ask for two red eggs and brought them to her.
Li Qinghe had two red eggs in his pocket, and his ears were full of Zhou's mother's words about giving birth to the child. When he returned home, he saw Zhou Chengkang cleaning the yard, peeled one and gave it to her, and said with a smile, "Mother insisted on giving it to me. It makes us happy."
Zhou Chengkang finished eating the eggs along her hand, kissed her fingers, and said with a smile, "Don't worry. There will be one sooner or later, and I won't disappoint mother. We will give birth to ten or eight of them."
"Do you think the pigs in the backyard will give birth to ten or eight, at most three... two."
Zhou Chengkang laughed out loud, very happy.
After the two laughed and quarreled, they really started planning to have a baby. But after all the calculations, I think it is best to wait until next year now. It is best not to choose the autumn harvest and spring plowing for the child, otherwise he will have limited energy to take care of him. neither cold nor hot.
I'm thinking about it here, and I heard that Mei Shi is pregnant every two days.
What the two of them knew was not only that Mei was pregnant, but that the Zhou family had quarreled, and that the neighbor next door came over to inform them of it.
The person who came was a fat woman in her forties, "Hurry up, Mrs. Liu and your mother are arguing."
Li Qinghe felt baffled, Mrs. Mei and Boss Zhou were married, wouldn't it be normal to have children, what's the fuss about it
The two rushed back in a hurry, fearing that if they disagreed with each other, they would fight again. When they arrived, there was no more noise in the yard. Zhang Haiyao was standing under the eaves with the child in her arms. When she saw the two of them entering the door, she sneered, "I just came back now. If there is a fight, is there still time?"
Li Qinghe didn't bother to pay attention to her, and went straight in. Sure enough, she saw Mother Zhou and Granny Liu sitting opposite each other with ugly faces, neither of them said a word.
Zhou Chengkang asked directly, "Mother, I heard that you two are arguing, why?"
