Chapter 113: contact

Li Qinghe has invited so many people. A dozen people are really good at work. They can come out to work with the naked eye. It can be said that if you look at it every other hour, you can dig out a large area.
Originally, those people were all on the opposite mountain, and they could be seen by just looking up. This was a rare thing in the village. When there were more people watching, I found something was wrong.
Those people don't seem to be people who are used to farm work. Looking at the five big and three rough, but the work has not been done so much, anyway, no villagers can do it smoothly.
The weather is getting colder and colder. People in the village don't go out very much. The people next door are still working. Zhou's mother came this day.
This year, she lived by herself, and at first she ate with Zhang Haiyao. Later, she cooked and ate by herself, and occasionally came to see Xiyu.
As soon as she entered the door, she asked, "Qinghe, is your courtyard wall enclosed?"
Yes, there were so many strangers next door, and it seemed difficult to provoke him. Zhou Chengkang dug thorns to plant a large area, and directly cut off the road between the Yang family. In this way, although the people next door could not get through They came, but they also cut off their way to the town, and they had to go around the village.
But this is only temporary. The Yang family cannot support a dozen people for a long time. Even the dozens of acres of barren forest on Li Qinghe's side can't stand the work of a dozen people day and night. After those people leave, it's okay to remove the thorns.
It is easy to withdraw, just cut it back and burn it.
Seeing the two nodded, Zhou's mother was slightly relieved and said in a low voice, "I heard your aunt next door say early this morning that the Yang family quarreled yesterday, saying that those people were caught stealing fish from the Yang family to grill. ."
"I'm afraid they will come and catch your chickens." Mother Zhou sighed. "Those people are not easy to provoke at first sight. I don't know where the Yang family got them. It's not worth offending them for the chickens. Good separation."
By the end of October, it started to rain in the sky, and the house became even colder. The two pigs that Li Qinghe fed were already big enough to be killed by someone. On the last day of October, many people came to help the pigs at home.
Because it has been raining frequently recently, many people have not been to the town. Anyway, the weather is cold. If you buy more meat, it won’t go bad. Before noon, a pig will be sold out.
There are still many people who haven't bought it. While the butcher was still there and there were too many people, let them help pull out the other side and kill it.
If one pig is not enough, there will be more than two pigs, and most of them are left. In the afternoon, basically everyone bought pork and went home. Li Qinghe also began to let the helpers cook, Zhang Haiyao and Li Qingmiao, and Yu Yan behind, Li Fu and Zhao Dashan plus the butcher, there were still quite a few people.
Everyone was talking, the cook was cooking, and someone came outside the gate.
The people who came were Xu Changjie and his second brother. Regardless of the closeness of the residence, the two actually have no contact at all. He was dressed in a cyan gown, still in a gentle appearance, "Is there any meat left in your family?"
Zhou Chengkang greeted him, "Yes, there are still some, but we have to invite people after the Chinese New Year. Those are all made to make cured meat and will not be sold."
Xu Changjie was a little disappointed, and then said, "Can you just sell me two catties? It's really inconvenient to go to town recently, and my house is busy too. Those who help us work hard, they leave their homes, they are treated as pity. "
"Does your family have a carriage?" Zhou Chengkang refused, "I really don't sell it."
Xu Changping frowned, "You don't need to be so careful? They are all in the same village, and they are still neighbors. Why can't they be sold? I think your family is targeting us..."
He is not polite, Zhou Chengkang is even more polite than him, "Just targeting you, so what can I do?"
"I know, because our family digs fish ponds and grows medicinal materials. Your family thinks we followed you to learn." Xu Changping folded his arms, "but in this village, there is no rule that only your family can raise fish and grow medicinal materials. !"
It should be that he himself knew that this was inappropriate, and he would take care of it if he was not kind.
But in fact, Li Qinghe and the two really didn't take these things in their eyes. The fish, ten fish ponds, were not enough for the people in the county seat. As for the medicinal materials, it is even more funny. There are so many people in the world and many people are sick. No amount of medicinal materials is enough.
Zhou Chengkang didn't bother to tell them this kind of person, only shouting "Rhubarb!"
Rhubarb jumped out.
Xu Changping turned around and ran. In fact, dogs generally don't bite people, especially Rhubarb is smart, but no matter how smart it is, it is also a dog. When someone runs, it subconsciously chases after it, and immediately rushed out.
Xu Changjie stood still and frowned slightly, "Brother Zhou, is this a bit too much?"
Zhou Chengkang directly raised his hand to close the door, "I'm sorry, there are guests today, so I won't be able to tell you more here. So be it."
Rhubarb really drove two miles away, and bit Xu Changping before returning.
There were a lot of people eating dinner, and there were two tables. At night, the crowd had dispersed.
The next morning, it was still raining outside, and the window paper was damp. Zhou Chengkang got up and went to light the brazier to bake the room before lying back on the bed. Before he lay down, someone outside scolded,
It’s amazing to keep a dog. , Let the dog bite people, you don’t ask a doctor to bandage my man. This thing will not get through!"
It was a sharp female voice. After hearing it clearly, you would know that it should be Xu Changping's wife. Can someone who can live comfortably in his sister-in-law’s house for so long still count on her to be a reasonable person?
If the truth doesn't make sense, there is no need to talk about it. Zhou Chengkang went out, opened the door a crack, and the rhubarb jumped out again, and then the woman's screams got farther and farther.
Seeing the person running away, Zhou Chengkang called the rhubarb back, closed the door again and went back to sleep.
Listening to the movement outside, Li Qinghe couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and smiled, "People should say you look down on people after you become wealthy and let the dog bite people."
Zhou Chengkang pulled the quilt on, "Rhubarb is not bitten by everyone. We have kept it for so many years and we haven't bitten a few people in total."
For the two of them, the two brothers next door are regarded as their most annoying people, not one of them.
After this incident, the relationship between the two families, which was originally strange, can now be said to be bad.
The two had no contact at all, and the relationship was bad and bad. In the winter moon, snow floated in the sky. At this moment, there is really no one going out to work, including the dozen people invited next door.
In fact, even if they eat sweet potatoes, because there is no meat, those people eat more and more as time goes by. People have to eat even if they don’t work.
Li Qinghe never went out, and occasionally heard someone say that Xu's mother complained that they ate a lot.
In the afternoon of that day, someone came to the door, and the person who came was regarded as the eldest brother of Li Qinghe and Li's family, called Li Qingsong. Both of the couple came, with Li Fu on the side. It was said that the elderly in the family were sick and very ill, so I wanted to ask them if they had any medicinal materials and took them back to the elderly to drink.
"Qinghe, we are not saying not to hire a doctor for him, but the doctor has already said that my dad's illness is just going through the days, saying that he will leave in autumn... Now the weather is so cold, it's getting worse. It seems too much to give him medicine..." His eye circles were red. "It has been several days without water and rice. You can give me some medicine that is not bad, and I will boil it for him when I go back. Maybe he thinks he has drunk it. The medicine doesn't hurt anymore."
If the water and rice haven't entered for several days, this person should be dead. To put it bluntly, it is for psychological comfort.
Li Qinghe turned around and walked in, grabbed the medicinal materials for him, and said, "This medicine will be dark as soon as it is boiled. You don't need that much."
After leaving the couple, Li Fu walked in, "I came here to find me with me, I'm afraid you won't take the medicine."
Someone actually came to Li Qinghe to ask Li Qinghe for medicinal materials earlier, but can this thing be given casually? She is not a doctor, what if she is eaten badly? Even if the food is not bad, it will delay the illness. Therefore, no matter who came to ask for medicinal materials, he was refused, and he asked the doctor for medicine.
"The third brother was also very good to me at the beginning. I didn't expect it to be... just two days." He shook his head, "It's really meaningless for a lifetime." As soon as the voice fell, Xiyu walked in.
A smile suddenly appeared on Li Fu's face, and the corners of his mouth were grinning behind his ears, "Hey Yu is here, do you miss Grandpa?"
Looking at his happy appearance, it doesn't seem like being alive and boring.
Sure enough, two days later, in the days when the sky was snowing, Li Qinghe's uncle was gone.
Even if it is colder and there is a funeral in the village, everyone still has to come to help. Naturally, Li Qinghe would also go, speaking of a very close person, her grandfather Li Kui's cousin was the grandfather of the eldest brother that day.
Li Kui sent away his cousin a few years ago, and now he sent away his nephew, quite sad.
Funerals are always sad. Even if there are good things in the family, they will not be too happy in the funeral.
The funeral usually lasts for more than two days, and the meals at the beginning are the same as usual, only the meal on the day of the burial will be better.
Everyone here is tying the coffins and preparing to send them up the mountain, and the seats are opened over there. At this moment, a group of people arrived at the door.
All of them are five big and three thick, looking fierce and evil, they are the same group of people who live in the Yang family.
Everyone knows that the Yang family recently invited a lot of people to live at home, but these people don't usually come out, and they go to work in the mountains when they come out, and they don't know the people in the village at all.
This was probably the first time that everyone had close contact with them. As soon as they arrived, they went to the table and yelled for food. If you observe carefully, you will find that they are not the strong labor of ordinary dealers at all. Where did it come from... the robbers?
Everyone couldn't help being far away from them, especially this group was all men, the older girls and the little wives all hid in the kitchen and couldn't get out.
Upon seeing this, someone quietly went to the host's house. Whether the food should be served to them or not, they had to come up with a charter. They didn't help at first. Secondly, just enter the door and sit, not as if you are going to give a funeral ceremony.
Li Qingsong is helping to put a rope on the coffin. This is very important. Generally, if the coffin is not carried to the place, the coffin cannot fall to the ground, otherwise it is unlucky. So the rope had to be strong, and it had to be tied so that it could not fall off. It was a hard work. On a cold day, there was a layer of fine sweat on his forehead.
Hearing this, he looked at the people outside and frowned, "So, you help me ask what the Yang family really means? Let them come and take their people away."
The person who came to report the letter was not an outsider. Hearing this, he turned and slipped out of the yard and went to the Yang family.
