Qian turned around and saw two people in the yard staring at her at a glance. She was startled at first, then recovered her complexion, and ordered, "Wanwan, help me cook, steam some steamed buns in a few days. It’s the autumn harvest, and there’s no time to cook.”

Zhao Wanwan didn't move, "You quietly give the money to uncle?"

Qian's complexion changed, she glanced at Li Qinghe secretly, frowned and said, "Damn girl, learn to peek. How can you say it is secretly, that money is what your father asked me to give to your uncle. He studied hard, so he should pay more money." Eat some meat dishes."

In the end, he looked worried.

I really think so.

Li Qinghe has no objection to Qian's use of money to supplement her younger brother, but the money should belong to her father, and if Li Fu's life is not good, she can't just watch, or the spittle of the village will drown her.

Immediately said, "I'll ask my father."

As he said he was about to go out, he did not forget to carry a knife for mowing the lawn. Ignoring Qian's call, she went out to her wasteland.

It's probably useless to say it, Qian always has a way to coax Li Fu, and she doesn't bother, the reason why she said that is just to scare Qian.

The land she bought is in the southwest of the village, near the foot of the mountain, and separated from the village by a small river. The sun is shining in the morning, and the surrounding scenery is beautiful. When you enter the door, you are overwhelmed by various housework, and you have to help with the field when planting in spring and harvesting in autumn. It has been a long time since I felt so leisurely.

Going to the southwest comfortably, the road is quite wide, a woman in front came over with a load of grass, and when she saw Li Qinghe, she stopped, "Qinghe, where are you going?"

The woman in front of her had gray hair, and her brows and eyes were full of deep and shallow gullies pressed by life. The smile on her face was forced, with a hint of flattery.

This person... is Zhou Chengkang's mother.

Zhou Chengkang's family has five brothers and sisters. He is the third child and has a younger sister. His father fell ill shortly after giving birth to the youngest daughter, and he passed away after two years. Nian dragged his family to nothing, but he still couldn't save him. Qian's statement that Zhou's family is poor is not a lie. For a normal girl, no one is willing to marry into the Zhou family.

Zhou Chengkang's eldest brother and second brother are both bachelors.

In his previous life, Zhou Chengkang never talked about his affection for her, this should be the biggest reason.

Li Qinghe sighed inwardly, and smiled slightly, "Aunt Zhou, it's so early."

Mother Zhou waved her hand, "It's getting late, I'll be back first."

When Li Qinghe reached the end of the field, she was not in a hurry to clean it up. If she had to clean up such a large piece of land, she might not be able to cut it down after a year. This kind of wasteland still has tree roots in it. If it is reclaimed, the roots have to be dug out Afterwards, the gravel on the ground was cleaned up, and some places were even just big rocks. If you farmed the land, you would never expect to have a harvest in ten or eight years.

When measuring the land, remember that there are about two ponds in the land. There is running water in it, and the excess flows into the small river. There are some small fish, and bold people in the village will come here to catch fish.

Li Qinghe's original thought was to use this place to raise fish. There are very few live fish in Luoyue Town, and they all have to be brought back from outside. The price is the same as pork, but the fish is different from pork. A catty of pork is a whole piece of meat, but fish... a catty of fish contains water, viscera, and fish bones, which is more than twice as expensive as pork. Even so, every time there is fish in the market, people will Looting.

Looking at the pond, Li Qinghe planned to find someone to fish out the dead branches and leaves inside, then repair the edge of the pond, and then buy fry to put in.

This fish fry needs to be inquired carefully... Just as he was lost in thought, footsteps came from behind him. When Li Qinghe turned around, he saw Zhou Chengkang rushing over, "Do you want help? You can call me if you need anything."

Li Qinghe looked at him, looked at him bowing his head uncomfortably, and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't given you the money for picking up people who asked you to help a few times ago, how much should I give you?"

"No need!" Zhou Chengkang hurriedly refused, he hesitated to speak, and finally mustered up the courage, "I don't want money, I just want to help you and take care of you, I..."

"Qinghe, what are you doing here?" Li Fu's voice came from afar, interrupting Zhou Chengkang's unfinished words.

He quickly came to the front, his unkind eyes fell on Zhou Chengkang, "What are you doing here?"

Li Qinghe answered, "I asked him for help, and I'm counting the wages." Then he asked, "Father, why are you here?"

Li Fu said unhappily, "I went home to have breakfast, and I heard from your aunt Qian that you ran out with a knife. Do not believe… "

Is this alluding to the fact that she ran out after making an appointment with Zhou Chengkang

Since she didn't want to live a good life, Li Qinghe wasn't polite anymore, "Father, I saw Wanwan's uncle today, and Aunt Qian even gave him money."

Li Fu's complexion turned ugly for a moment. Due to Zhou Chengkang's presence, he didn't say much, and his tone was not very good. "There are not many fish here, go home."

They actually thought they came here to catch fish, Li Qinghe thought for a while, and said, "Father, I bought this pond."

Li Fu had already turned around, intending to go home, when he heard the words, he turned his head and asked with a frown, "What did you say? What is this pond?"

"It's mine!" Li Qinghe replied seriously.

Li Fu was stunned for a moment, and realized that Li Qinghe was not joking with him. Thinking of her saying that the money was spent by her, he became angry, "Can you bear it? What's the use of this pond?"
