Chapter 48: autumn harvest

Gritting her teeth on her back, Li Qinghe started going down the mountain, all the way downhill. After turning two turns, she felt her calves started to tremble, but the person on her back didn't have a word for a long time except heavy breathing and pain.
She is a little scared in her heart. There are so many emergencies, such as the appendix, which is a pain in the stomach. A bad one is fatal. Li Qingmiao and her had a good relationship when they were young, and they are still wives. They are the ones who have the best relationship with her. Can't help but, she whispered, "Qingmiao, you are better than the bundle I just carried. The firewood is heavier."
After a long while, I heard her say, "I said it was my second wife... You actually compare me to firewood."
Li Qinghe smiled at the corner of his mouth, and went down the mountain quickly and steadily, listening to the complaints from the people on his back from time to time along the way.
After a quarter of an hour, I finally reached the foot of the mountain. Li Qinghe's feet were already unsteady. I was thinking about finding a place to put her down. When I saw the two of Zhou Chengkang coming over, seeing the two of them like this, they rushed over, "This is what happened?"
Zhou Lao Er took the person, Li Qinghe took a breath, and saw that Li Qingmiao had closed his eyes, and said hurriedly, "She fell and said her stomach hurts."
The four quickly returned to Zhou's house, and then set up a carriage, and within two quarters of an hour, they had arrived at the hospital.
"I've got my fetal gas." After the doctor finished the pulse, his expression of hatred was not made of steel, "How can I do heavy work, and wrestle... Can you keep it? Let's watch."
The three of them were stunned. In the past two days, Li Qingmiao was carrying firewood and was almost catching up with the two brothers. She was walking fast. Who could tell that she was pregnant?
"The troublesome doctor quickly dispenses medicine for us." Zhou Lao Er looked anxiously, looked at the pale man with closed eyes, and added, "Prepare good medicine, I have silver!"
After the medicine was dispensed, Li Qinghe carried it, and the carriage slowed down a lot on the way back. Li Qingmiao never woke up, leaning his head on Zhou Lao Er, as if he was asleep.
At the entrance of the village, her father and mother had already waited there. Seeing the posture, they would go to town if they didn’t come back. Seeing the drowsy daughter, her face was anxious, "What's wrong? Where did she fall? ?"
Li Qinghe leaned over to let them get into the carriage, and said, "I've got a fetal gas. The doctor dispensed medicine and said that he should rest well and eat some body supplements. The on my side will grab a rooster and give her a stew soon. ."
Hearing this, Mother Li looked surprised, "Is pregnant?" After reacting, she said gratefully, "Qinghe, thank you very much."
Li Qinghe was actually a little nervous. In the past few days, they were cutting firewood and they were all together. Although everyone was working, Li Qingmiao actually stayed with her more. Everyone has a company. Now something happens, she still Afraid of her parents to blame. Naturally, the sensible ones won't, and it's really possible to blame her when you encounter the unreasonable and unreasonable mess.
They had already arrived at Li Qingmiao's house. They watched Zhou Lao Er carry the person in. The two returned to Zhou's house and went to the new house to grab a rooster and sent it.
Li Qingmiao was already awake when it was sent away, pale, holding her hand, "I didn't expect this to happen, did it scare you?"
"It's fine if you are fine!" Li Qinghe saw that although her face was pale, but she was still in good spirits, "Does the stomach still hurt? Would you like to ask a doctor?"
"It hurts a little bit." Li Qingmiao's expression turned bitter, "They won't let me get out of bed."
"Your body is important." Li Qinghe laughed. "Lie down for a few more days. Besides, if you have a child in your stomach, you must be careful. You can't cut the wood."
When the two talked about cutting wood, they looked at each other and laughed.
Soon, Zhou's mother who got the news also arrived, and she caught an old hen and sent it here. When the Li family became lively, seeing that Li Qingmiao was indeed fine, he was a little bit more happy.
When they got home, it was getting late. Li Qinghe had been running around for a long time today and was worried for a long time. In fact, he was more tired than normal work. Zhou Mu even asked them to eat together.
The two did not refuse. They had dinner with Zhou's mother and five sisters. While they were eating, Zhang Haiyao entered the door.
She leaned on her waist, sat down with a smile, and took the bun for herself, "Second sister-in-law is pregnant?"
Mother Zhou glanced at her and gave a hum.
Zhang Haiyao took a bite, "Mother, just now I can see that you mentioned the old hen, what about mine?"
Li Qinghe and Zhou Chengkang looked at each other, which was really rude.
Mother Zhou put down the bowl and knocked the chinaware on the wooden table with a slight "bang". The room was quiet, and Wumei was so scared that she didn't dare to chew the chicken. If I don’t like it, I’ll kill and feed the dog. That’s my business.

Maybe Zhou’s mother was so harsh suddenly. Zhang Haiyao was stunned, and the steamed bun in her mouth could not be chewed. Zhou’s mother did not let her go, and continued,
It’s like the steamed bun you eat, I won’t speak, no It means that I am willing to give you food, and people must be self-aware. Don't make people hate the dog, and feel that I am so amazing."
"Isn't it just a whole grain bun?" Zhang Haiyao's expression was cold, and she stood up and said, "I don't want to eat it. Anyway, the child in my stomach is not as good as the one with another family name."
After speaking, he lifted the curtain and went out.
Zhou's mother was so angry that Li Qinghe was a little worried. If she was angry, she was busy persuading, "Mother, don't be angry. If you don't like to listen, you will treat her as farting. Who takes farts seriously? It’s not guilty of being uncomfortable."
Wumei also quietly poured a glass of water and put it next to her. Mother Zhou sighed and took a sip of water, "I am really uncomfortable for children with other people's surnames, but no matter who they are with, they must have children first. Now... ."
Listening to this, it is really inexplicable and reasonable. If it weren't for the marriage, the brothers in this family wouldn't even be bachelor. Anyway, she can figure it out by herself.
"Eat, don't let her ruin her good mood." Zhou's mother looked at the two of them, "Don't be too busy all day, your child is important."
This Li Qinghe is really not in a hurry. She is still young. Besides, she knows better. This child will be discussed after two years. When she is older, she will not be so dangerous to have children. Besides, after two years, they will stabilize there. Don't be so busy, it's good for children.
Zhou Chengkang took the conversation and said with a smile, "Mother, don't worry about us, we know it in our hearts."
Zhou’s mother put down the bowls and chopsticks,
You two are the most worrying. Although the boss is a little careful, he sees that there is a craft. The second child’s reputation is a bit unpleasant, but Li The old couple treated him well. I don't worry about it, just..."
She looked in the direction of Zhou Laosan’s house, hating iron but not steel, "That bastard! It took so much money, and she said she was a girl in the town, but the old lady was flabbergasted. She also said that the family is pampered and rich, and that eyelid. It's shallow!"
She shook her head, "I only hope that the child will not follow her. I don't want to earn anything by myself, but I want to divide it. Fortunately, my flesh and blood can't be exchanged for money, or she will have to take it apart."
Zhou Chengkang comforted in a low voice. Li Qinghe didn't say a word. In fact, she agreed with Zhou Mu's words, but that couldn't be said. If she spit out along with her, others would treat her as provocative and provocative.
In the following days, the two of them went up the mountain to chop wood, and they chopped for a month, filling up the wood room and backyard of the new house. I can't cut it anymore, and the autumn harvest begins.
In this autumn harvest, in addition to the wasteland, Zhou Chengkang also got a piece of land and a small paddy field. However, there is probably no harvest this year. You have to pay the grain tax first, and then pay back one hundred catties of the grain owed. There is probably not much left.
The autumn harvest of the villagers is really day and night, the day is too hot, and many people take advantage of the moonlight to harvest wheat at night.
The two of them don’t have much land, so they go every morning and evening. When the sun gets big, they take a rest, and they are back in two or three days. It is worth mentioning that the Zhou family yard brothers seem to be extremely small and want to dry the wheat. It was inconvenient at all. Li Qinghe and the two did not take it at all, and moved directly to the new house. The large yard was enough for them.
After harvesting the land, there are still a few acres of wheat on the wasteland, which is said to be a few acres, but it is really not much. If you have to pay the grain tax, it is equivalent to a year of nothing. But this kind of land, the harvest will be more and more every year.
The two put the food in the door, and many people in the village have just started, such as Li Fu.
This year, the Qian family still stayed on the ground, and only let Li Fu go alone. This method of hers is actually very condemning. Even if the farming is slack, don't help if the autumn harvest is so busy. In case of a heavy rain, then confiscate the harvest and wait for the hungry.
After finishing his own affairs, Zhou Chengkang ran to help Zhou's mother for a day. After all of them were cut off and moved home, he went to Li's house.
Li Qinghe also went, Qian's really only cooked at home, because the two of them went to help, Li Fu also took the money and asked her to go to town to buy some meat back.
Said to be helping, in fact, only Zhou Chengkang was there sooner or later, while Li Qinghe had to feed the fish and chickens himself, and went back to the new house to turn the wheat out. There was not much time left, but she brought the tea to the field.
She went early that day, thinking that the water she brought from the ground should not have been drunk, so she didn't take it. As a result, the water ran out after a while. The water fetching work must be hers, and neither of them would her.
Carrying the teapot, there was no water in the new house, and she did not burn it in the Zhou's yard, so she went back to Li's house to get it. Qian's tidying up at home, the tea should still be ready.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw a person coming out of the house, still an acquaintance.
Zhao Tianfu.
He was so courageous, he went straight into the house. Last time Li Qinghe saw the two going together, when Zhao Wanwan and Hu's family were discussing marriage, he didn't expect that this time he went straight into the house.
Seeing her coming back with the teapot, Qian stood under the eaves and was stunned. The conscience of heaven and earth, Zhao Tianfu really just came, and he left when he came. Who knows such an inch, this can be encountered.
"Is this Qinghe?" Zhao Tianfu greeted her first. He was a little fat, with a red nose and a dark red face. This should be the result of a long-term alcoholism. "Thank you to take care of her, Zhao Uncle remembers that, if you have anything to do, go find me." He patted his chest, "If you can help, you will definitely help."
Qian was too anxious, and urged, "Hurry up, so many words."
Zhao Tianfu smiled and left, and Qian came forward to take Li Qinghe's teapot, "Is there no water? I have all the tea, just to quench my thirst."
Li Qinghe stood under the big tree in the yard and watched Qian quickly fill the tea in the kitchen. She reached out and took it and turned to go out.
"Qinghe," Qian called her, "I don't have anything between Wanwan and her father. Can you just ignore it?"
