It was not until the beginning of March that the two pig pens were built. Someone in the village fed the sows, and Zhou Chengkang went to catch six of them. Generally speaking, if there are not many women in the house, they will not feed so many pigs. They eat a lot of pig grass every day.
But people who knew their family situation didn't stop them, such as Li Fu and Zhou Mu.
Because in the wheat fields over there, the sweet potato sprouts grow lush and green, and it is good to cut the sprouts back to feed the pigs without mentioning whether there will be a harvest.
Now Piggy can't eat much. The two have to be free. Every time in the town, they buy chickens. This year they have more chickens than last year, and there are leftovers in front of them. She built a special room for the chicks, bought them back and forth, and raised nearly two hundred chickens.
Immediately afterwards, news came from Zhou's family that Zhang Haiyao was born and her mother and daughter were safe.
Give birth as soon as they are born. Li Qinghe's family doesn't lack eggs. He counted thirty and sent them to her. The people in the village are not happy to wash the three, only the full moon will do it.
In a blink of an eye, March 27th, the village’s rule was to go there one day in advance to help. Li Qinghe and the two were no exception. They passed the chicken-raising wasteland, and walked around half an hour from the other side. When it arrived, many people had arrived in the village.
Li Qinghe got to know many people because he invited man-made houses and people to clean up the land. Coupled with the fact that Yu Yan and the third aunt were there, she didn't feel bored, she went to the kitchen to help prepare the dishes.
For these happy events in the village, whenever she goes to help, she will be asked to cut vegetables. Even if someone starts to cut, they will give up the position when she sees her coming, and assume that she cuts quickly and well.
Li Qinghe was also not modest. Yu Yan prepared the cuts and cuts for her on the sidelines, and the room was very lively.
It was lively, and Qian came to the door of the kitchen, "Is there any help?"
In fact, Qian’s and Li Fu’s reputation in the village is not very good, both because they were married before they got married... But now it’s too long, most people talk in private, and it’s still pretty decent, and no one will deliberately target it. . The third aunt waved to her, "Come here and choose food."
Li Qinghe didn't look there, but Yu Yan whispered, "Actually, I don't want to come."
Hearing this, Li Qinghe felt right. She was because she had saved Xu Changjie’s village. The people in the village would say that she had a deep affection for others, and Yu Yan really had a period of time with Xu Changjie. She didn’t think so, but in a day like this, if not Come, you will feel deliberate.
She whispered again, "You said it's all like that, why haven't you set a kiss?"
When asked about this, Li Qinghe's heart was in trouble. In fact, the villagers are still very simple and honest about this romantic relationship between men and women. If they are married, there will be no messing about it.
But Xu Changjie hasn't gotten married yet, but Li Qinghe is okay. He has been married for a year. Although he has no children, his life is pretty good. No one talks about her and Xu's family anymore. But Yu Yan was different. She didn't want to find someone at random, so she was a little embarrassed.
But today she came here generously, and no one should talk about those things in the future.
"I really regret it." She said, "You said how I thought he was good-looking at the beginning, but now that I look at it, it's actually that way."
Li Qinghe followed her eyes and saw Xu Changjie in the yard. The scars on his face were gone, and he was restored to his previous gentle and handsome. Many girls in the village also secretly looked at him and blushed.
Now she looked at it, and she was really able to feel like stopping water, "That's true."
Just like when she moved, these dishes prepared today will be used tomorrow, and I will not open fire here. Everyone who helps has to eat in the old courtyard of the Yang family, that is, next to Xu Changjie's house.
When it was time for dinner, a mighty group of 70 or 80 people went to the village. Li Qinghe and Zhou Chengkang walked together without speaking, and in a blink of an eye they saw the familiar courtyard.
This was the first time she came back during the day in her life. The last time she came here was to report a letter. At that time, the sky was bright and she was anxious to go to help the town. She didn't look at it carefully at all, and she was a little afraid to look carefully. When passing by Xu's house, Li Qinghe glanced in, only to feel familiar and unfamiliar everywhere. Her eyes fell on the woodshed in the corner, where she died after being dosed with medicine in her previous life.
Zhou Chengkang seemed a little nervous, stretched out his hand to hold her, and asked, "What's wrong?"
With warm hands, Li Qinghe returned to his senses, "It's okay."
When I arrived at Yang's house, I felt familiar everywhere, and I still remembered the inside and outside of the yard. It seemed that Xu Chang's eyebrows were tender and Yang Lanrou was getting along.
But when she saw the person next to her, she quickly grabbed her mind. Now she has nothing to do with the two of them, and she doesn't have to think so much.
Today's meals are generally ordinary, but the Yang family's dishes are pretty good, and it can almost be compared to other people's formal wedding banquets. Li Qinghe and the two are not short of meat and fish, and they don't feel much better.
After eating, everyone went back to the Yang family's new house. Li Qinghe helped to prepare the dishes and went back to his home. The reasons are readily available. She wants to feed fish and chickens, horses and pigs.
Li Fu followed her back to her house and helped her feed.
Li Qinghe was feeding the chickens, and asked Li Fu, who was helping, "Does Aunt Qian mention any more about raising children?"
Li Fu shook his head and thought for a while, "Can I come and stay for a few days?"
Hearing that, Li Qinghe was a little surprised. It is normal for the father-in-law to stay with his son-in-law's house for two days, but the two are so close, there is no difference where they live?
"Your auntie Qian..." Li Fu looked embarrassed, "Just forget it."
Li Qinghe felt that maybe something happened between the two, "Okay, why not." But she was also curious, and asked in a low voice, "Because of what?"
"She still wants to have a baby." Li Fu answered quickly.
He was in a low voice and spoke quickly. Li Qinghe almost didn't hear clearly. After he understood, he was speechless.
There are more than 30 people at the age of being grandmothers. The Qian family actually wants to have children, and can’t help asking,
Isn’t it because I want to have the surname Qian?
Li Fu shook his head, "I didn't ask."
"I'm not afraid of being embarrassed when I'm old. If I have a baby, I just need to find a living on my own. Now I have a baby and I won't dare to die. Besides, I haven't had any children for so many years..."
He paused, and seemed to notice that it was not good to say this in front of his daughter, "I'll come and stay for two days, and she knows what I mean, so she can help you chop wood by the way."
Li Qinghe laughed, is it really necessary to work to eat? The neighbors are not so unfamiliar and said, "You should help yourself to chop wood, come over for dinner, and sleep here at night."
The next day the Yang family moved to joy. Li Qinghe had eaten in the past and then returned after helping to wash the dishes. Anyway, it was the relationship of ordinary neighbors.
After that, Li Fu took the clothes and quilts and moved over. Watching his daughter's busy schedule outside of home one day, he took the initiative to help feed the fish and the chickens.
The weather gradually warmed up, and Li Qinghe finally had some free time. There were more and more sweet potato seedlings over there, almost full of intermittent wheat fields, which looked pretty good. She watched the past all the way and was in a good mood. Today she deliberately went back to Zhou's house to have a look. It will be Zhang Haiyao's full moon in a few days.
When I arrived at Zhou's house, I found two carriages outside the courtyard. She was confused at first, and then remembered that maybe it was the Zhang family who had come.
It was indeed the Zhang family. The people who came were Zhang Haiyao's biological mother and her uncle. Surprisingly, Xu was among them.
Seeing her entering the door, Xu greeted her and took her hand, "I also said that I will go to your house and look for you later, and take a look at your new house by the way."
"
Li Qinghe was also very happy to see her, mainly because Xu didn't come back often, and she herself didn't want to go to Zhang's house, and the mother and daughter would not see each other a few times a year.
I saw Xu beckoning to a child, "Bin'er, come here."
This is Zhang Haiya, Li Qinghe's half-brother. At the age of eight this year, she has reached her shoulders, her small face is stern, and she looks very steady.
He approached, leaning against Li Qinghe, "Sister."
Li Qinghe has been unfamiliar with this younger brother for two lifetimes. Seeing him so gracious, he looks sensible and gratified. When he grows up, Xu's life in the Zhang family should be better. A smile appeared on her face, "Bin'er, go to my house, okay?"
She talked to Zhou Mu, and took Xu and Bin'er back home. In the yard, Li Fu was mixing pig food. Seeing the three people entering the door, she was taken aback for a moment and then returned to her senses, "Are you here? Yes……"
"My son." Xu's tone was ordinary, and he walked around the yard.
The mother and son walked far, Li Fu asked in a low voice, "Why is your mother here?"
Li Qinghe spread his hands, "I came to see Sansao, stop by and have a look." If he can't find a reason, Xu usually doesn't go back to the village.
The mother and son stood by the chicken pen in the backyard, and Xu praised, "This house is very good. Bin'er, what do you think?"
Bin'er looked at the little chicken inside, whether it was a child, he hadn't seen these before, which was quite novel.
Seeing that he was interested, Xu smiled and said, "If you look here, I and your sister will go to the house and talk. I will come to you later, or if you see enough, you can find me."
Seeing Biner's answer, Xu took her hand and walked in, looked at Li Fu outside, and asked in a low voice, "Why did your father come?"
Li Qinghe was dumb and couldn't say that Qian wanted to have a child and Li Fu avoided it, right?
After thinking for a while, "Father is fine, come and feed me the pigs."
Xu sneered, "He just needs you as a child, and he should have treated you better, otherwise no one will collect his body. That... even if he died behind him, he only knew how to cry. ."
Li Qinghe thought for a while, and thought it was really possible.
She took out a purse, "You build a house, and you have such a big business. I am afraid that the money is not enough for turnover. Keep these."
With that said, he couldn't help but put a purse into it.
Li Qinghe squeezed it in her hand. There were a few taels of silver in it. She sighed and handed it back to Xu's. My sister-in-law also told me that Uncle Zhang stopped Bin'er from studying, and her father helped make peace."
After hearing this, Xu frowned, "Nothing. She really said that?"
Li Qinghe nodded, "I borrowed money from me, but didn't say anything about it."
Today, Xu family was able to come to her door to congratulate her, proving that she had a good relationship with Zhang Haiyao's mother, and it was necessary to let her know about these things Zhang Haiyao did behind her back.
