Everyone scratched their heads, Zhang Haiyao dismissed them with random reasons, and went forward, Li Qinghe and the two were standing at the door watching the carriage go away.
"Qing He, who is this? What are you here for?" Zhang Haiyao held a child in her arms, not hiding her curiosity.
"I didn't do anything." Li Qinghe said casually, "I heard that I grow sweet potatoes well, so I just came to ask about it."
Zhang Haiyao was stunned for a moment, never expecting this result, "Then the yamen came to ask? The yamen still care about this?"
"Yeah." Li Qinghe looked at the sky. Although it was autumn, the sun was shining right now, so he couldn't help but said, "Don't take the child out to bask in the sun, be careful of sunburn."
Zhang Haiyao hummed, and looked into the yard curiously, as if she wanted to enter the door.
Zhou Chengkang nodded as a greeting, and turned around to enter the door. Li Qinghe said with a smile, "I still have something to do here. Third sister-in-law, hurry back!"
Speaking of which, no matter how thick-skinned Zhang Haiyao was, she couldn't force her way through the door.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Mother Zhou and Mrs. Mei hurrying over, Li Qinghe naturally saw it too, and stood there waiting for them to come.
"Who are those people?" Zhou's mother was worried, "I heard that there are still people with knives. What did you do?"
"No." Li Qinghe was still very patient with Mother Zhou, "They came to see the sweet potatoes I planted."
Zhou's mother suddenly said, "It's fine."
"Is the sweet potato really delicious?" Mei asked curiously, "I heard that it tastes very good when boiled, and it can be eaten as dry food."
She is pregnant now and has stopped going to town in the morning. Li Qinghe nodded, "Sister-in-law, take some home to eat."
Hearing this, Mei was overjoyed and dragged Zhou's mother into the door, and Zhang Haiyao followed behind, not to be outdone.
Li Qinghe packed some for each of them, and then sent them away.
After picking out the bad ones, the sweet potatoes can be stored for a while, basically the more you put them in the back, the less likely they will be spoiled.
After the two of them cleaned up the inside and outside of the house, they started to go up the mountain to cut firewood and hunt by the way.
At the beginning, the harvest was good. Three rabbits and one chicken were caught, all of which were injured, so they had to be rushed to the town.
Since I came back from the mountain, it was almost dark when I arrived at the town. Originally, the carriage could not enter the town because of the crowds, but at this time, there were basically no people on the streets of the town. Li Qinghe did not delay at all, and the carriage directly sent Went to the restaurant.
Being familiar with the door and the way is quite smooth, when the carriage turned out from the back door of the restaurant, I saw an acquaintance.
— Mrs. Liu.
She is indeed living a good life as rumored. She is dressed in satin clothes, her hair is combed smoothly, and there is a silver hairpin stuck in it, she looks like a rich old lady in the town. With two little girls behind her, they were walking into a small yard without any haste.
She knows how to choose, choose to work in the back kitchen of this restaurant, no matter day or night, people come and go, it is very safe.
Although the two of them haven't been back to Zhou's house very much recently, they also heard that Boss Zhou's tofu business is far from what it used to be, and he needs to make half of it, or he won't be able to sell it all.
This result is due to the fact that there are only five families selling tofu in the town. The other three families were found by Mrs. Liu.
Although the business is not as good as Boss Zhou's, but he also robbed most of them.
Seeing that it was her, Li Qinghe was just surprised, and didn't intend to go up to say hello. The carriage turned around as usual, ready to go home.
However, Granny Liu over there had already seen the two of them, and beckoned, "Fourth."
Zhou Chengkang didn't move. When she walked up to her, he asked, "What's the matter, Madam?"
Mrs. Liu laughed and said, "It's okay, I just want you to tell your sister-in-law that I am doing well, so don't worry, I will come to send a congratulatory gift when her child falls to the ground. Thanks to this child, I can There are comfortable days now."
"Also, you have to have a conscience. Your sister-in-law even gave away her ancestral prescription for your elder brother. Your elder brother must treat her well."
What are these words
Li Qinghe frowned, "It's said that a tree lives like a skin, and a person lives like a face. The more you live, the more you go back, and you don't even want your face. How dare you? I'm not afraid that my sister-in-law's parents will come to you at night!"
Many old people nowadays are superstitious. Hearing this, Granny Liu's smile froze, "She agreed to this prescription, but I didn't ask for it."
Zhou Chengkang pulled the rein and said, "Ma'am, I know what's going on. No matter how hard you say it, don't be guilty."
After finishing speaking, the carriage turned out the back door and headed for the entrance of the town.
After leaving the town, Li Qinghe touched the front and sat beside him, propping his chin, "It's too shameless!" It's okay to touch it quietly by yourself, and even ran to show off in front of the two of them.
If those words were really heard by Mrs. Mei, she would definitely be angry.
"Don't be angry, I won't see you very often anyway. Big brother..." He smiled, "I'm sure he won't just let her go."
The two went to the village, it was getting late, it was getting dark, and when they were about to reach the entrance of the village, they saw Zhao Wanwan and the other two again.
The carriage stopped, and Li Qinghe was curious, "It's already this hour, are you still coming to the village?"
Zhao Wanwan looked at Hu Yanxi, a little embarrassed, "The business in the town is over, let's move back in."
Li Qinghe was dumbfounded, these two had thick skins to a certain extent.
This married girl is her own, and she has never returned to her mother's house for so long. Although Li Fu treats her like his own, she must know it in her heart.
Li Fu asked them to work, and the two of them ran away after two days of work. Now that the autumn harvest is over, do they think they can come back to live when there is no work to do
Zhao Wanwan over there was quite happy, she waved her hand and said, "Sister, let's go. I'm almost here, so I don't need you to take me with you."
Li Qinghe didn't even want to take the two of them with her. The carriage quickly entered the village. When she passed by the door of Li's house, she jumped off the carriage. After entering the door, she found her father in the vegetable field in the backyard. Helping to throw the seeds, "Father, I saw Wanwan and the others at the entrance of the village just now, and they said they were going to move back."
Li Fu paused, "Understood."
It's fine if you know it. In fact, she doesn't care what Li Fu wants to do to Zhao Wanwan, but it's not an option for the couple to live forever. Li Fu can work alone and support Qian. Makes sense, but Hu Yanxi, why
According to this, she can also bring Zhou Chengkang back to live, and the whole family will be bundled together and their belts tightened.
Then Li Qinghe went home, and the two of them went back to cook and boil water to wash their hands. It was already late when they went to bed, and they got up late the next day, and there were still people knocking on the door.
Zhou Chengkang got up in his clothes, washed his face in the yard, and then went to open the door.
The person who came was Mei Shi. She supported her waist and entered the door with a smile. "That sweet potato is delicious. I want to get some more," adding, "I can buy it."
It would be better if you bought it, Li Qinghe pretended it for her, and the price was cheaper than when it was sold in the town.
It's not that she lacks these copper coins, but that if she doesn't accept them, Zhang Haiyao will definitely come over to get them before noon. No matter how much it is, it can't stand such a creation, can it
Mrs. Mei was not unhappy either, she lowered her voice and said, "I saw something strange this morning, I think you must be interested in hearing about it."
"What's the matter?" Li Qinghe yawned before he woke up.
Mei's tone was full of gloating, "I saw your father taking your sister and brother-in-law down to the field."
Hearing this, Li Qinghe woke up a little from his drowsiness, "Going to the field?" The autumn harvest is over, but it doesn't mean that the farmer's family has nothing to do.
Seeing that she was interested, Mei said in a low voice, "Well, I looked over there when I came here, and went to clean up the weeds. The whole family is here."
The corners of Li Qinghe's mouth couldn't help but smile, and said with a smile, "I'll help you send it back."
Hearing this, Mrs. Mei didn't refuse, and the two carried the bag of sweet potatoes to the village. When they came back, Li Qinghe really took a look at the field over there. Sure enough, the whole family was there, and a lot had been harvested. After thinking about it, she went home and boiled a pot of tea and sent it to them.
In case someone goes home to carry tea and never returns.
When she arrived, Li Fu's voice was heard from a long way off, "This person, you have to move. If you don't move at home, your body will get worse and worse. You will get sick easily, and you will have to spend money to treat it. This is a job. You will not get sick, and the work will come out. In the future, come back more often. Now you can clean up the land. After the land is cleaned up, you can go up the mountain to cut firewood. If the firewood is full, you can clean the yard inside and outside the house. Even if everything is cleaned, the clothes and quilts at home can still be taken out and washed, and when it’s winter, you can weave baskets and repair a hoe... "
Hu Yanxi over there was dressed in patches and had a disheveled face. When he got closer, he found a basket beside him, which contained steamed buns and pickled vegetables.
Seeing his expression, Zhao Wanwan couldn't help but said, "Father, Yan Xi is a scholar, and he will take the county examination next year, so he has to go back to study."
"He has read the books for more than ten years and still fails the exam. Every time he comes close, it proves that it is not a matter of knowledge. He has to do some work. I also heard that many scholars were carried out last year because they were too physically fit. Poor!" He was serious, "You will get better and better after working, and you will definitely succeed in one fell swoop!"
While talking, seeing Li Qinghe coming with a teapot, he put down his hoe and greeted him with a smile, "I just said I wanted to drink water, so here you are."
After talking so much, I haven't stopped blah blah blah, so I'm not thirsty.
Li Qinghe suppressed a smile and poured him a bowl, "Father, drink some water." After drinking well, he continued.
