Chapter 61: rhubarb

The Xu family was not stupid. He understood what his daughter meant in an instant, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became cold. "Her mother is the same as me. She usually has a lot of contacts and is still close. I didn't expect her to do such things behind my back. I see, don't worry."
As he said, he put the purse in her hand again, "Take it, I still have it."
"I can't delay for too long. When I came here, I promised to go back an hour and see that you are doing well, and I am relieved. If anything happens, go to Zhang's house to find me." She said she would go out and see Go to the pond outside the gate, smile and say, "Get me a fish of yours."
Li Qinghe went fishing for fish, just as Bin'er came out of the backyard and squatted on the pond to watch her fishing, "Is it fun to raise fish?"
"Fun." Li Qinghe glanced at him, "Do you want to try it?"
Bin'er came with interest, took the fishing net and went to the net. All of a sudden, the net came out of three fishes of various sizes. The smallest one was only as big as a slap. Li Qinghe smiled and put a bucket in him, "I will give it to you."
From entering the door to leaving, Li Qinghe personally sent their mother and son to Zhou's house within half an hour from the time they entered the door to leave, and watched them get into the carriage.
On the side, Zhang Haiyao wrapped a cloth towel on her head and looked smug, "My mother said, wait for my full moon, let me go back and live for a month."
"Very good." Li Qinghe answered casually, not caring.
"By the way, I brought a lot of dim sum, and later you will bring some back to taste. They are very valuable." She said, turning around and entering the door, and quickly brought out a small packet of dim sum, "It's just not much, I will share some more. To mother."
Li Qinghe took a look, didn't reach out to pick it up, and smiled, "You need to make up for yourself now. Keep it for yourself."
After finishing speaking, he asked, "Earlier you said how many fish would you want for the full moon banquet? It's the same price as the restaurant in the town. I will get it out in advance."
Zhang Haiyao's complexion froze, "Can't it be cheaper?"
Li Qinghe calmly said, "When the time comes, I can wipe you a fraction of dozens of texts." It is impossible to half sell and half give away.
"Then...no more." Zhang Haiyao tentatively said, "Buy more meat, it's the same."
Li Qinghe agreed, "That's okay." The people in the village held a happy event, except for her and Yang's family, no one really had a whole fish.
"The child is crying." Mother Zhou shouted over there.
Zhang Haiyao sighed and lowered her voice, "I tell you, since knowing that she is a daughter, my mother is not very happy. Basically, I rarely hold the soup that I stewed, and half of it will be sent to my second wife. I see her. It means that I hope my second wife will give birth to a son."
It's boring to say this. Li Qinghe doesn't like to listen. The child is his own, and it is good for the grandmother to hurt her. If she doesn't like it, shouldn't she still have to live? Staring at this little thing every day is simply asking for sin.
Besides, Zhou's mother is also considered hearted, and she has been separated from the family, and she will kill chickens and stew for her to eat. The reason is that the young crops are also big and they are about to give birth. What happened to some soup?
We must know that many old women who are patriarchal in the village, if the daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter, let alone stewed chicken, it would not even have an egg, and there is still no separation of families. Zhou Mu is patriarchal, how can that be considered?
So, this person, it depends on what you think.
Seeing that there was no movement here, Zhou's mother shouted again, "The child is hungry."
Zhang Haiyao shook her head and stood up, "coming."
Li Qinghe didn't wait much. He stayed here mainly to ask for fish. Since she didn't want it, she didn't need to fish it and saved trouble.
Soon the first day of the full moon came. There were not so many people in the full moon feast village. Unmarried girls and men generally did not go, so there were not many people. On the other hand, there are not many people who help, mainly the neighbors and relatives close to them.
Naturally, Li Qinghe was going. Everything went smoothly. It is worth mentioning that on the day of Zhang Haiyao's full moon banquet, a carriage came from the town and delivered a whole chicken, duck, half a pig, and two pieces of cloth. This is a big deal in Wangcun including the town. Many people praise Zhang's generosity and love this daughter. Zhang Haiyao is humble, but the smile on her face is extraordinary.
After the full moon banquet, it was already April. Usually there was nothing to do except to pull weeds in the fields. Li Qinghe looked at the sweet potato seedlings and started digging the cellar.
After Li Fu came to live for four or five days, he moved back.
Only the two of them can dig this cellar.
Zhou Chengkang actually worked very hard, and he would generally not refuse Li Qinghe's proposal. He started digging near the pigsty, and the digging was fast, but within four or five days, he dug a huge cellar.
All the excavated soil was picked and poured into the vegetable field. There was also a large pile. The vegetable field was outside the courtyard wall of the backyard. The two picked them back and forth. As soon as Li Qinghe picked out a load, he saw Yang Lanrou smiling. What Yingying and Zhou Chengkang were talking about.
She didn't slow down, and walked out. Zhou Chengkang over there saw her and hurriedly came to pick her up.
Li Qinghe squeezed her shoulders and asked, "Ms. Yang is here, but something is wrong?"
Yang Lanrou was holding a plate with three steamed buns in her hands, "I have been learning to make steamed buns in the past few days, and I have done too much. This is too far away from the village, that is, it is closer to your home. I sent it here for you to taste. Taste it. The weather is too hot and it will spoil if you don’t eat it."
"No." Zhou Chengkang poured the mud on the vegetable field, "Ms. Yang is too polite. It's a pity that we two don't like to eat steamed buns, so it might be a waste for us to worry about it."
Li Qinghe felt more comfortable. To tell the truth, she had seen too much of Yang Lan's softness and Xu Changjie's secret exchanges in her last life. Just now she saw the appearance of the two of them, and she would inevitably remember that she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, especially Yang Lanrou's gentleness. The smile is exactly the same as when she questioned Xu Changjie in her previous life.
But the difference is that Xu Changjie never refuses her, whether it is her request or the things she gave it all laughed. She thought she was too mean, but now it seems that there are still neighbors who are not helping each other.
"You are too polite. We will be neighbors in the future, so we have to come and go." Yang Lanrou handed the bun to Li Qinghe, "Take it and taste it."
"We really don't eat buns." Li Qinghe looked at the buns in front of him and smiled, "If you don't mind, rhubarb will like it."
Bring it to feed the dog!
Yang Lanrou's complexion changed, and she reluctantly smiled, "I gave it to you anyway."
Zhou Chengkang took the plate and said to the front yard, "Rhubarb."
Rhubarb rushed over, scared Yang Lanrou back a few steps, he actually put the buns on the ground, and then returned the plate to her, "Thank you, Rhubarb really likes it."
The smile on Yang Lanrou's face was completely incapable, holding the plate at a loss, and finally turned around and quickly walked away under her feet, feeling a little fleeing.
Zhou Chengkang smiled flatteringly when she saw her look bad, "Madam, what do you have for lunch?"
Li Qinghe smiled, "Eat buns."
Zhou Chengkang blinked, solemnly, "What kind of buns? I don't like to eat buns. I will cook noodles for you, okay?"
She really didn't expect that Yang Lanrou would actually run over to give some buns, and when the Yang family moved, she would go to help, purely to prevent the villagers from gossiping. Anyway, she didn't mean to have a close friendship with the Yang family. It was indeed a bit heartbreaking that Baozi fed rhubarb, but it also cut off the possibility of contact with the Yang family again. People who want to make faces will never come back.
The two of them really ate noodles at noon. It’s not easy for people to eat noodles. They need to knead the noodles and wake up. It takes half an hour at the earliest.
Fortunately, the two of them are not busy these days. Zhou Chengkang suggested, "Why don't we go up the mountain to hunt? At this time last year, the harvest was good."
Not to mention, last year Zhou Chengkang went up and down the mountain for half a month, earning 50 taels of silver. Neither of them was a public person, and no one knew.
From the second day, the two went up the mountain together. But because there is a lot of work at home, I went there late and I would come back early. There was not much prey, but a lot of firewood was cut back. Anyway, there is no idle time.
Because of this, Yu Yan didn't come here anymore.
In fact, Yu Yan looks the best among the unmarried girls in the village, because she embroidered flowers in elementary school, has never been in the sun, and has not done rough work. Even in this village, the third aunt is not willing to let her work. , The main reason is that she can make money by embroidering, she has a good skin, and her hands are smooth and delicate.
It is not a problem to earn a couple of two in a month, marrying her, the family will have enough livelihood.
However, this girl had a high-sightedness. Seeing that she was getting older and didn't look like she was going home, the third aunt simply asked her to marry her, and she refused all of them without exception.
Originally, they weren't biological mothers and daughters. Both parties wanted to get close because they were tentative. The third aunt didn't want to force her, and then ruined the close relationship between the two, so she went with her.
Li Qinghe knows that Yu Yan is a face-controller, and that she looks good and can also embroider. She has no worries about marrying or urging her to get married, but she didn't expect someone to ask Yu Yan to marry her and beg her.
It was another day in the afternoon when she and Zhou Chengkang came back from the mountain and met Youshi.
What she impressed you the most was that she came to visit the door with the money at the beginning, and after that, the dispute between her and Qian’s communication was really unfamiliar.
You Shi smiled, "Qinghe, are you going back now?"
Li Qinghe originally just nodded his head and was supposed to pass by after saying hello. He nodded again, "It's not early, I have to go back to feed the fish."
Seeing Youshi approaching her, "I have something to tell you."
Having said that, he turned around and went down the mountain with her. Li Qinghe was surprised. How did it seem to have come to her specially, so I heard Youshi tentatively asked, "I heard that you have a good relationship with the girl Yu, and often talk together with embroidery?"
Obedient, people would not ask other girls for no reason. Li Qinghe thought about it for a while and instantly understood what she meant.
Qian Laiman's brother, Qian Laixing, had just returned from the county seat recently. He fell on the way to the county test in March, and his arm was swollen. Jane had a bad year, and the village had been discussing for a few days.
"I'm not hiding it from you, the Master of the Stars said that he was on the list this year, who knew that happened." You Shi sighed, "This year you are all 19 people. If you don't talk about marriage, you should delay. Up."
I asked Yu Yan first, then praised my son, and said that his son should get married. I really wanted to discuss marriage.
