Chapter 77: autumn harvest

He really collected the money.
Li Qinghe suddenly felt that Hu Yanxi has a good face and likes to be a good person. It was Zhao Wanwan who had been begging for mercy all the time. He didn't say a word, and in the end, seeing that the matter failed, he jumped out and gave the money.
These people present, including Li Fu, would think he was reasonable. But in fact, the unreasonable things have already been done by Zhao Wanwan.
Seeing Li Fu collected the money, Zhao Wanwan still wanted to persuade her, Hu Yanxi pulled her, smiled and said, "Put the things back first."
Zhao Wanwan's tears couldn't stop falling, and she picked up her baggage, turned and left.
It seemed that Li Fu was a little annoyed.
Li Fu saw her movements in his eyes, and lowered his eyes not knowing what he was thinking.
It was getting late at this time, Li Qinghe didn't intend to stay long, and the atmosphere at home was not right. She put the fabric on the table and said goodbye.
The next morning, someone came to fetch water. It is worth mentioning that the eldest son of the village chief moved a chair and guarded it outside the courtyard wall, asking them to line up and staring at them to fetch water.
After Yu Yan and the two came back, they took a rest for the whole night and then came over. They came over with a snack early in the morning, "This is delicious. I tasted it when Min Rui and I went to the restaurant. I brought it to you. Come back a little bit."
"By the way, I went to see the godmother in the morning. I heard that your house has recruited a thief. I am too afraid to recruit a thief. You must not chase after it!"
In a blink of an eye, I saw someone outside the gate carrying water. It was quite strange. She came in through the back door just now. At this moment, she smiled and went out to see. The people who came were all people who knew Li Qinghe and saw her in the yard. Will say hello and thank you.
The third aunt brought the bucket over, put the bucket outside, walked directly in the door, and turned to cover the door, "Qinghe, something happened to your house."
Li Qinghe was dumb, "What's the matter?"
Probably not in a hurry, I didn't see the third aunt and picked a bucket.
The third aunt lowered her voice, "Early in the morning, your sister and my sister are going to move away, saying they moved to her father's side."
totally unexpected.
Zhao Wanwan kept saying that she hadn't seen Zhao Tianfu for a long time, and she didn't expect to find him again.
It really is a mother with milk!
Zhao Tianfu's home is also in Wangcun, but it is not in the same row as Li's, and it takes a quarter of an hour to walk there. It is worth mentioning that the Zhao family used to be wealthy and had built blue brick houses in the first 20 years, which is not much better than the Li family’s yard.
The daughter who had been raising for many years just left, Li Qinghe felt that her father should feel uncomfortable. Some were worried, and took some snacks that Zhou Chengkang had brought home and went home.
It was still morning. When she arrived, Qian was cooking breakfast in the kitchen. The ping-pong-pong movement was quite loud, and she seemed to be upset. Li Fu was cutting sweet potato vines by the stone table under the big tree in the yard, and a lot of them had been cut and spread out on the ground.
Seeing her entering the door, he smiled and said, "Why are you back again?" In a blink of an eye I saw the paper bag in her hand, shook his head and said, "Keep it for yourself, you are pregnant now, and Chengkang specially brought it so far. Come back, how am I embarrassed to fight with my grandson for food?"
I was still in the mood for joking. It seemed that it shouldn't be uncomfortable. Li Qinghe sat down and opened the snacks, "Father, I haven't had breakfast yet. Eat these first."
Li Fu went to wash his hands, took a piece of it, and handed it to her. He also picked it up and took a bite, "Is it for Wanwan? I'm fine."
"Don't be uncomfortable." Li Qinghe helped him pour tea, "I can't run, and I have nowhere to run."
Li Fu's eyes blushed, he reached out and wiped it, wiping away his tears, "You are a good boy."
Three or two bites stuffed the dim sum in the mouth, signaled Li Qinghe to continue eating, he took up the knife again and started to cut, looked at the busy Qian in the kitchen, and lowered his voice, "Actually, I can guess that if they want money, they will live soon. Like. It is said that they don't have enough money to go to the county town, so there is no money to spend on food."
"It's just that I didn't expect that she would go to Zhao Tianfu."
In the last sentence, Li Fu's tone was flat, but he could see that he was a little lost. After raising Wanwan for many years, now she turned around and went back to find her relatives.
Qian went out carrying the food and looked at the father and daughter in the yard, "What are you whispering about? Isn't it polite?"
"I'll give my dad a snack." Li Qinghe pointed to the paper bag, "Only those with a guilty conscience will guard against being afraid of others saying it. In the future, in this house, don't mention her. These years, my dad's food will be fed. The dog."
Even if you have a dog, it should be mature for so many years. Zhao Wanwan is also, relying on this and that, can't you rely on yourself?
Qian wanted to say more, Li Fu looked at her with heavy eyes, and she stopped talking immediately. After turning around and entering the kitchen, I became more and more angry, and threw out the bun in my hand, "My heart for so many years, I also fed the dog. I shouldn't have come back..."
Li Fu watched the bun on the ground roll to his feet for a long time, bends down to pick it up, and graciously wiped off the ashes on it, "After that, you regret it, you go!"
Qian was crying, he was stunned, and his tears hung on his eyelashes, "What are you talking about? No one is rich because of the reduction in grain production this year. Are you driving me away now?"
Li Fu looked at his daughter, "The sun will be high in a while, you should go back first."
This is to make her avoid suspicion. The neighbors all have eyes. If Li Qinghe comes back with his front foot, Qian's back foot will be driven away. It is a personal whisper.
Li Qinghe is also well-behaved and went out on her own. In fact, she has always disliked the Qian family and occasionally wanted to separate them. But the Qian family was the person Li Fu wanted to be together since he was a child. I can see that she is very accommodating to her. Besides, she is already married and leaving Li Fu alone at home. In fact, she is not at ease. It is good to have someone by her side. Even if she quarrels, she feels lively.
Soon after returning home, I heard people who came to carry water said that Qian had packed up his baggage and returned to Qian's yard.
The yard was cleaned up by Youshi since Father Qian left, and now there are people in it. It is Qian Laixing who has passed the exam.
Another half month passed in a blink of an eye. Because of the drought this year, the seedlings in the ground dries quickly, and Li Qinghe's belly is getting bigger and bigger. Just when Zhou Chengkang was going to dig sweet potatoes, Lin Zhixian came again with people.
This year’s drought, even if it’s a village, the harvest in each field is different. He deliberately brought someone to see the situation in Li Qingmiao's home. There were quite a lot of people who came, there were 20 or 30 people, and they brought their own hoes. After a long time, they dug up all the sweet potatoes and put them in the cellar.
Compared with last year, I planted more this year, but the harvest was only half of last year's, but it would be enough if only the two of them ate. Looking at the pair of sweet potatoes, Lin Zhixian couldn't stop the smile on his face. The next day came again, and the barley was also cut. In one day, not only the cut was finished, but it was all threshed and dried.
The barley harvest was only half of last year's. At this time, news came out that the imperial court has issued an order this year that all cities and towns affected by drought will be exempted from taxes. Business taxes are only 20%, and grain taxes are exempt.
Throughout August, there was no better news than this.
I don’t know outside. In fact, for the people in Wang Village, if the grain tax is not paid, the grain in the ground is barely enough to eat, which is really not good. There is also the mountain behind, the grass roots and the bark, they can never starve to death.
Not to mention that there are more sweet potatoes this year. Although they have not as many sweet potatoes as Li Qinghe, they are also quite a few.
Because there are sweet potatoes, the price of food is quite high now. Many people secretly dried the food and moved them directly to the town to sell them. It’s really not good to eat sweet potatoes. If you have so many sweet potato vines at home, you can still fill your stomach. Wait until next year. Food prices should fall, and it will be fine by then.
Even if all his food was collected, Zhou Chengkang was not idle, his mother had confiscated it, and Li Fu, who used to have only wheat in previous years, and this year, there were more sweet potatoes, so he couldn't be too busy.
Although he was busy, he was very happy. When Li Qinghe sent him food to the fields, he looked fortunate, "Fortunately, you helped me grow food, otherwise this year will really..."
"At that time, I will divide you half." Li Fu was quite proud, "whatever you say."
He didn't move half of it, he moved all of it to the yard here, because the yard of Li Qinghe's house is large, good for drying food, and it is closer to his land than the house in the village.
The other people in the village met, and no one was talking about gossip. Anyway, Li Fu is nearly forty this year and only has this one daughter. In the future, he will probably rely on her to move the food. As long as he is willing, no one can tell. The word "no" comes.
