Chapter 42: daily

Mother Zhou was holding the deed, nagging, as if endlessly, Zhang Haiyao got up and said, "It's not early, I'll go to boil the water and wash the laundry first."
As he said, people had already got up and went out, Zhou Mu's expression was ugly for a moment, she glanced at Zhou Lao San, did not say him, but looked at Li Qinghe, "Qinghe, you just made so many things when you entered the door, yes I can't help you, don't think too much about it. From now on, I just lived with the fourth child."
It was really too much to quarrel with the family as soon as they got married. People who didn’t know thought it was Li Qinghe’s trouble.
But Zhou’s mother said so, Li Qinghe can’t make trouble. After all, it’s still the most important thing to live a good life. Besides, it’s good to be separated. She herself is planning to rebuild the house and live with so many people. In this yard, disputes will inevitably arise. Nothing else, let her cook the family's meal, it is actually quite difficult, she can't finish her work.
"It's okay," Li Qinghe even smiled, "As long as my mother is happy."
Zhou Muxu babbled and asked for a long while. When everyone was gone, it was already afternoon. Li Qinghe and Zhou Chengkang had not done anything for a long time, so they separated, and it was time to go to the field to feed the fish.
When I came back from the feeding, the sky was already dim and it was about to get dark. Zhou Chengkang looked at the small courtyard of Zhou's house not far away, and said in a low voice, "In fact, it is better to have someone live here and watch the fish and chickens."
"Then you live." Li Qinghe smiled. "The shack is not set up. Can't you let me live?"
Zhou Chengkang was dissatisfied, and said angrily, "I just got married yesterday, so you were willing to let me stay alone? You sleep by yourself. Don't you feel warmer by one more person in this kind of weather?"
Li Qinghe couldn't help laughing and lowered his voice, "I'm really not afraid of this. I have been here for more than ten years, and I am afraid that I will sleep alone? Besides, it is April now, and the more it goes, the warmer it gets. It’s too hot in summer."
"I'm afraid." He stretched out his hand and took her hand and coaxed, "I'm afraid, let's go."
The two walked unhurriedly, Zhou Chengkang paused and said in a low voice, "I want to say, let's build the house here." He analyzed one by one, "Look, we have one person and one room now. The room, there is nothing left. We have children in the future, where do we live?"
It is still important to build a house, Li Qinghe laughed, "Child?"
Zhou Chengkang put his hand on her lower abdomen and said with a low smile, "Maybe it already has it now."
Li Qinghe's face flushed suddenly, and asked, "Like children?"
He was serious, "I like the baby you gave birth."
The two of them didn't speak any more, but the hands they held together became tighter, and the figures walking together were entangled and cuddled together, especially peaceful and peaceful.
When the two returned home, the eldest couple and Mrs. Liu were already asleep. Li Qingmiao and Li Qingmiao had already gone home. Only the third child’s house was still lit by candles. The two went into the kitchen and planned to boil water for washing. The window poked out, "You boil water, remember to chop wood back tomorrow. If you want to boil water for cooking, a load of firewood every day."
A load of firewood for two people cannot be used up under normal circumstances.
"The excess should be honored me." Zhou Mu added.
The two looked at each other, and Zhou Chengkang responded.
Rather than saying this to the two people, it is better to say it to the people in the yard. After the two of them got married, they left before dawn every day, and they had to make up for their sleep when they came back in the afternoon. Let alone the youngest two. Zhang Haiyao didn't leave the door, so Zhou Laosan worked alone. Where can I go to chop wood? The Zhou family had just finished another happy event, and the firewood was almost bottoming out.
After Zhou Mu's words came out, no matter whether he was free or not, if he wanted to use the kitchen, he had to pay firewood.
Zhou Chengkang carried water and whispered, "Tomorrow we will go up the mountain. Recently, it was a good time to hunt. We made some money to build a house and brought firewood back by the way."
The next morning, the two of them got up before dawn. The eldest husband and wife and Lady Liu in the kitchen were still ordering tofu. Li Qinghe wanted to go in and make something and had no choice but to take some snacks from the marriage.
First went to the pond to feed the fish, and then went up the mountain.
Zhou Chengkang was right. It was a good time to hunt. Before they could get into the woods, they caught three pheasants and two rabbits. Li Qinghe saw him draw the bow and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter with your carriage at home? Why do they all say no."
Zhou Chengkang silently shot an arrow and just hit the pheasant's belly. He ran to pick it up. When the two of them walked into the woods again, he whispered, "When I was four years old, my eldest and third brothers took me in. The mountain was chopped wood and mushrooms by the way. At that time, my mother was pregnant with my fifth sister and was about to give birth. My father just got sick, his eldest brother was only nine years old, and his third brother was only six years old. Water, let the third brother take me to stay there and wait."
He paused, his voice lowered, "It didn't take long for the third brother to say that he was urinating, and then he left. I stayed in the woods and dared not move. I waited for a long time and didn't wait for them to come back.
"They lost you?" Li Qinghe frowned. A four-year-old child is in such a forest. There are wolves in the depths of the forest. If they are taken away by the wolf, where is his life?
"I don't know." Zhou Chengkang shook his head. "The eldest brother said he was lost, and the third brother said that he was lost and couldn't find me. But when they found the trail home, they went back first, saying that they were going back and then invited an adult to find him. "
"and after?"
"Later I met Uncle Tiger. He took me back and sent me home after two days. My mother cried so much. I heard that I was lost. The fifth sister was born before the day was reached." Zhou Chengkang's tone was ordinary, his eyes looked at the forest, as if searching for prey.
Li Qinghe stretched out his hand to hold him, "Are you afraid of you alone?"
Zhou Chengkang was in a daze, "At that time I was scared. I felt that the trees were high, the woods were deep, and things were moving everywhere... But then I was not afraid when I met Uncle Tiger. Even when I went home, I would often go into the mountains. Looking for him, he taught me a lot." Later, his lips had a smile on his lips, "I was hunting, and he taught me the carriage, he bought me money before he died."
"He has no children, he is alone. I still saw him not. I buried him myself." Zhou Chengkang said in a low voice, said with a smile, "So, people always have to go through some hardships. Gained."
Until now, whether the eldest brother and the eldest third had deliberately left their young brother in the woods is still confused. Therefore, none of them wanted the carriage.
"When you are free, take me to worship. I want to thank him!" she said.
Zhou Chengkang's eyes were gentle, "Okay. I want him to see you too."
When they returned home in the afternoon, the two had a good harvest. Li Qinghe was carrying a few chickens and rabbits, and Zhou Chengkang was carrying a bundle of firewood. When passing by the pond, the two ran to feed the fish and chickens. They went home under the moonlight. .
When they got home, the eldest husband and wife and Liu Pozi were already asleep. There was a pot of water in the kitchen. When she heard the movement, the fifth sister opened the door and said with a smile, "Fourth brother, I use the water by the way. Use it."
Finally, he said, "Go to bed earlier."
The two took turns to wash, and the rest were cooking here. After half an hour, the two had already brought the food to their house.
"Tired?" Zhou Chengkang handed her the steamed buns, "I will go by myself tomorrow. You will stay at home and feed the fish and help me cook by the way. You can also go to town and sell rabbits and pheasants. In the restaurant, it should be Do you want it?"
The restaurant did accept wild animals, and two rabbits were killed today. They can't be released more, and the day is getting hotter and hotter. So nodded, "Then you go by yourself and come back early."
The next morning, the two got up at the same hour as yesterday. Zhou Chengkang took the dry food prepared last night and went up the mountain, while Li Qinghe took the prey and went to town with the Zhou family eldest brother.
Seeing the four or five pheasants in her hand, Mei was a little envious, and said, "Four younger brothers and sisters, fourth younger brothers are so good at craftsmanship. You don't need to buy meat and don't worry about meat."
Li Qinghe glanced at the silent Boss Zhou over there and said with a smile, "He was lucky and met a good master to teach him."
The Zhou family boss didn’t hear it. Mei didn’t know what was going on, and he nodded in agreement,
Four younger siblings, how much money do you plan to sell? If it’s cheaper, I’ll buy a stew for my mother-in-law to drink.

Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "Pork sells for fifteen pens. This twenty-five pens is ready. This one is worth three catties. For the relationship between us, you can give seventy pens."
Hearing that, Mei's complexion became stiff. With this silver, he can get a large piece of meat, and he can eat it for half a month without a little bit. Over there, Lady Liu said, "What does pheasant eat, they say that tofu is vegetarian, and eating this is the same to help you."
This is no more.
Li Qinghe didn't ask for it. After the separation, the boss and his wife gave each family a piece of tofu. It was not worth a few dollars.
After arriving in the town, she separated and she went straight to the restaurant. The price offered by the restaurant was fair. The rabbit and the pheasant cost 30 jin per catty, which is nearly 30 catties. The chef directly counted 30 catties and took it. Nine hundred texts.
With the money in hand, Li Qinghe bought a piece of meat, but didn't go to see the husband and wife of Mr. Zhou. They still sold tofu, and it was an afternoon to go home.
When she arrived home when she was cooking breakfast, Zhang Haiyao poked her head out of the kitchen, "Brother sister, I heard that you beat a lot of rabbits and pheasants yesterday. The third aunt next door saw them all, why didn't they?"
"I'll sell it." Li Qinghe looked calm.
"Why don't you leave a little bit of filial piety?" She raised her voice when she said this, deliberately speaking to Zhou's mother who was growing vegetables in the backyard.
Li Qinghe didn't care, raised his hand, "Mother's share is naturally there, I bought meat, it's like a fishy meat."
Upon seeing this, Zhang Haiyao was dumb and couldn't help but whispered, "Fake and generous!"
Why are you fake and generous? This meat is not fake.
Li Qinghe had heard it, so it was not rare to quarrel with her. She went into the kitchen to cook. Soon after Zhou's mother came in, she passed a small piece of meat over.
Mother Zhou waved her hand, "You eat yourself, I have something to say."
Zhang Haiyao was setting the tableware and chopsticks. After hearing Zhou's mother outside, she frowned and whispered, "Something else!"
"She is my mother." Zhou Lao San emphasized.
When everyone in the family arrived, Zhou Mu took them to the backyard, only to find that the vegetable plot in the backyard had been divided into four parts. "You have one part each. You can't eat the vegetables in the future. Grow them and eat them yourself. If you are lazy and don't want to plant, then don't eat it!" She said the last sentence, staring at Zhang Haiyao.
