Chapter 23: Hu Jia

Zhao Wanwan was arranging food and was surprised when she heard the words. After taking a look at Li Fu, she looked at Li Qinghe for help, and then bowed her head aggrievedly.
Li Qinghe pretended not to see her and went out to serve food. She didn't refuse, so who would help her out?
Except Li Fu!
When she went out, she had heard Li Fu displeased, "Wanwan is about to make a marriage, when the Hu family will come to her, she will look black and beautiful? Forget it, you don't want to, I will do it myself."
Li Qinghe went to the kitchen and brought the steamed buns. Before entering the door, he heard Qian's voice, "Why don't you ask the Zhou family?"
Ask a fart!
Li Qinghe was immediately annoyed. It was Zhou Chengkang who was willing to help. It was also someone who came voluntarily and asked what was going on. She opened the curtain and entered, "I don't think Aunt Qian is inconvenient. There are so many women in the farmhouse, and when it is inconvenient for others, how can you still not work in the autumn harvest?"
Qian's face was pale by her. She was always weak and resigned in front of Li Fu, bowing her head and stopped talking.
"Don't ask." Li Fu picked up the steamed buns, "Ask what? If the Zhou family is interested, they should come by themselves."
The underlying meaning is that Zhou Chengkang should come to help with work.
Li Qinghe stopped talking, sat down after a while, and asked, "It's not that the Hu family is going to propose a marriage, why didn't he come?" After the proposal, he should also come to work.
Li Fu was a little annoyed, "What are you urging? You will always come when you should."
The next morning, the village had already started the autumn harvest, and there was noisy outside early in the morning. Li Qinghe went out to feed the fish. Along the way, many people came back carrying wheat bales. He also saw Zhou Chengwu, but he was not doing it for himself. Instead of helping Li Qingmiao’s house, Qingmiao’s lady rushed to deliver water. She was in a good mood and said hello to others,
This year, there are people who are helping. My father and I can relax a little bit. I know, in previous years..." Barabara, anyway, I'm not satisfied.
The Zhou family also has autumn harvest today, but only Zhou Mu and Zhou Chengkang are working. His younger sister, who is 13 this year, is also a big girl, staying at home to take care of the housework.
Maybe he was infected by everyone. In the afternoon, Li Fu also went to the field with a sickle, but Qian did not go. As a result, three people in the family waited to cook, and Li Fu worked alone in the field under the sun.
In the afternoon, the sun was so hot that people scorched oil. Qian made the tea and said, "Thank you, bring water to your father."
Zhao Wanwan looked at the sun, "Mother, I haven't washed my clothes yet."
Li Qinghe was making clothes in the house, and he went out, "I'm going."
Ignoring the surprised Qian's mother and daughter, she took the tea and went out. She could still find her own land, and after walking a quarter of an hour after leaving the village, she could see Li Fu bending down to cut the wheat alone. I raised my eyes to see her approaching, "Why are you here?"
Li Qinghe raised the kettle, "Bring you water." Then he poured a bowl for him, "Let's take a break."
Li Fu went to sit under the shade of the tree on the side, drank two bowls and handed them back to her, "The sun is big outside, go back earlier."
Li Qinghe took the bowl and looked at the large pieces of wheat. With so much work, one person doesn’t know how long it will take to complete. Besides, the weather is good these days. Actually, it’s the best time to take back the grain and lay it down for drying. Otherwise, it will be taken back, it will rain if it is not dried, and it will still be moldy. If one fails, it will dry for nothing in a year.
She couldn't help but asked, "Why not let Aunt Qian come?"
"She also came in previous years. Although she couldn't do much, she wanted to stay with me when she said." Li Fu bent down and started to work. "Maybe she is really uncomfortable this year."
Li Qinghe was dumb, and she didn't want to guard a handful of dog food, or she didn't like to listen. Li Fu urged, "Go back quickly."
The sun was too big, and there was a kind of hot dryness in the ground, which was too much to be baked. Li Qinghe did not force it. After she was fired in the town in her previous life, she married soon, and she helped Xu's family to cut once or twice. Xu has a lot of family, and there are so many things at home, that stall is enough for her to work, and she really hasn’t done it all day long.
On the way back, she met Zhou’s mother. Zhou’s mother was resting by the roadside carrying a large bundle of wheat. She had already decided to kiss her. Zhou’s mother was kind to her a lot. When she saw her coming, she smiled and said, "Qinghe Ah, what do you do with such a big sun?"
Li Qinghe also put on some smiles on his face, "I will bring water to my father, and I will return."
Zhou's mother was a little apologetic, "Our family has a lot of things, and it may take two days for the fourth child to come to help."
I think Zhou Jiazhuang had a lot of labor at the beginning, and he was one of the first people in the village to finish harvesting food. I'm afraid it will not work this year.
Li Qinghe smiled and refused. When he returned home, he saw a guest coming from the house. Qian was busy greeting her. Yu Guang spotted her entering the door and ordered, "Qinghe is back. Run quickly and call your father back. Here comes the distinguished guest."
VIP?
Li Qinghe glanced at it and saw a woman in a satin shirt standing reserved in the hall, with a thin young man beside her, the Hu family mother and son.
I didn't see Mother-in-Law Xi, who should come to talk about marriage. Li Qinghe responded and ran again. After calling Li Fu, he went to the pond to feed the fish.
When she came back from feeding the fish, the house in the house was already set up with food, and a table of people was sitting around to eat. She glanced at it, did not go in, and went straight back to the house.
I heard a gentle voice from the next door, unhurriedly saying, "My family is saying something, the master’s praise is very good, and we will end next year. In fact, many people in the town recently asked people to come to our house to kiss. Those girls Compared to Wanwan...If it hadn't been agreed with you before, the scholars pay attention to integrity, maybe we would not come."
Li Qinghe continued to cut his clothes, and was slightly surprised when he heard this.
But when the two families get married, they are all in good faith. If you are not happy, just forget it. This kind of secretly belittling the girl seems to lack the sincerity of marrying.
"Wanwan is pretty good." Qian's voice sounded, "I taught her to wash and cook since she was a child, and she is a good hand outside the house, no worse than others."
Li Qinghe was speechless, but this is also a fact. It is indeed a great advantage that girls nowadays can work. But now I feel something is wrong.
I listened to Qian's words again, "It is better to decide this marriage earlier. I'll be a daughter, and since she has a home, I feel relieved."
