Chapter 67
Everyone was scratching their hearts and souls, Zhang Haiyao found a reason to dismiss them, and went forward. Li Qinghe and the two were standing at the door watching the carriage go away.
"Qinghe, who is this? What are you here for?" Zhang Haiyao held a child and made no secret of her curiosity.
"Nothing." Li Qinghe said casually, "I heard that I grow sweet potatoes well, so I just came to ask."
Zhang Haiyao was stunned, never expecting this result again, "Then the yamen will ask? Is the yamen still taking care of this?"
"Yeah." Li Qinghe looked at the sky. Although it was autumn, the sun was shining and couldn't help but said, "Now, don't hold your child out for the sun. Be careful of getting sunburned."
Zhang Haiyao gave a hum, and looked into the courtyard curiously, as if he wanted to enter.
Zhou Chengkang nodded as a greeting. He turned around and walked in. Li Qinghe smiled and said, "I still have business here. Sansao, go back!"
For this reason, Zhang Haiyao couldn't force her to squeeze in the door no matter how thick-skinned.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Mother Zhou and May rushing over in a hurry, and Li Qinghe also saw it naturally, standing still waiting for them to come.
"Who are those people?" Mother Zhou was worried, "I heard that there are still knives, did you do anything?"
"No." To Mother Zhou, Li Qinghe was still very patient, "They came to see the sweet potatoes I planted."
Mother Zhou suddenly said, "It's all right."
"Is that sweet potato really delicious?" May asked curiously. "I heard that it tastes good when cooked and can be eaten as dry food."
She is pregnant now and no longer goes to town in the morning. Li Qinghe nodded, "Sister-in-law, take some home to eat."
Hearing that, May was overjoyed and pulled Mother Zhou into the door. Zhang Haiyao followed up unwillingly.
Li Qinghe installed some of them for each of them, only then sent them away.
After picking out the bad ones, the sweet potatoes can be kept for a period of time. Basically, the more they are put back, they will not be bad.
After the two people finished cleaning the house, they started to go up the mountain to chop wood and go hunting by the way.
At the beginning, had a good harvest. grabbed three rabbits and one chicken. All of them were injured, so had to rush to town.
Since came back from the mountain, it was dark when arrived in the town. Originally, the carriage could not enter the town because of the large number of people. At this hour, the streets in the town were almost empty. Li Qinghe did not delay at all and the carriage was delivered directly. Went to the restaurant.
The familiar roads went well, and when the carriage turned out from the back door of the restaurant, he saw an acquaintance.
——Lady Liu.
She did as well as the rumors, she was dressed in a satin dress, her hair was smoothly combed, and a silver hairpin was inserted on it, much like a rich old lady in town. With two little girls behind him, they entered a small yard without delay.
She would choose to choose the back kitchen of this restaurant. People come and go, day and night, and it is very safe.
Although the two have not returned to Zhou's house much recently, they have heard that Boss Zhou's tofu business is far from before.
This result is because there are only five families selling tofu in the town. The other three were all found by Mrs. Liu.
Although it is not as good as Boss Zhou's business, it also robbed most of it.
Seeing that it was her, Li Qinghe was only surprised, and didn't mean to go forward to say hello. The carriage turned around as usual and was about to go home.
But the old lady over there has already seen the two and beckoned, "The fourth child."
Zhou Chengkang didn't move, and when she walked up to her, she asked, "What's wrong with my lady?"
Liu Pozi laughed and said, "It's okay, just let you tell your sister-in-law, I am doing well, let her not worry, I will come to give a gift when her child lands. Thanks to this child, I can There are comfortable days now."
"Also, you have to be conscientious. Your sister-in-law has even given away the ancestral recipe for your elder brother. Your elder brother must be kind to her."
What are these words?
Li Qinghe frowned, "It is said that the tree has a skin, and a person has a face. The auntie will go back more and more, and even the face will disappear. Why are you embarrassed? Not afraid of my sister-in-law's parents coming to you at night!"
Many of the old people at the moment are superstitious. After hearing this, Liu Pozi's smile became stiffer, "She agreed to this recipe, but not what I wanted.
Zhou Chengkang pulled the horse by the rein, and said, "What the hell is going on, the auntie knows her heart. No matter how hard she says, don't be guilty."
After speaking, the carriage turned out the back door and headed towards the town.
After leaving the town, Li Qinghe touched the front and sat next to him, propped his chin, "Too shameless!" It's fine to touch it quietly, and ran to the two of them to show off his power.
If May heard those words, he would definitely be angry.
"Don't be angry, I won't see him a few times anyway. Big Brother..." He smiled, "I definitely won't just let her go."
The two went to the village. It was getting late and it was getting dark. When they were about to reach the entrance of the village, they saw Zhao Wanwan.
When the carriage stopped, Li Qinghe was curious, "It's this hour, are you still in the village?"
Zhao Wanwan looked at Hu Yanxi, a little embarrassed, "The town is done, we move back to live."
Li Qinghe was dumb, these two had a thick skin.
This married girl was born with her, and she did not stay with her parents for so long. Although Li Fu treated her like his own person, she knew it in her heart.
Li Fu asked them to work. The two of them ran away after two days of work. Now that the autumn harvest is over, are you thinking about being able to come back if you have no work?
Zhao Wanwan was quite happy over there and waved, "Sister, let's go. I'm going to be here, so you don't need to bring it."
Li Qinghe didn't want to take the two of them. The carriage hurried into the village. When passing by the door of Li's house, she jumped off the carriage. After entering the door, she found her father in the vegetable field in the backyard. He was digging the soil and Qian was next to Qian. Helping to throw seeds, "Father, I saw Wanwan and the others at the entrance of the village just now, saying that they are going to move back."
Li Fu paused, "I see."
It’s fine if you know it. Actually, Li Fu can’t control Zhao Wanwan how she wants, but it’s not the way to let the husband and wife live for a long time. Li Fu works alone and feeds the Qian Clan. After all, it’s his wife, and Zhao Wanwan can also feed Zhao Wanwan. It makes sense, but Hu Yanxi, why?
According to that, she could also bring Zhou Chengkang back to live with her family tied together and tightened her belt.
Then Li Qinghe went home, and the two of them went back to cook the meal and boiled water to wash. They went to bed very late, and got up late the next day, and there was a knock on the door outside.
Zhou Chengkang got up and got dressed, washed his face in the yard, and then went to open the door.
The person who came was May. She leaned on her waist and walked in with a smile, "That sweet potato is delicious, I want to get some more," she added, "I can buy it."
It's better if you buy it. Li Qinghe installed it for her, and the price is cheaper than when it is sold in the town.
It's not that she lacks these copper plates, but if she doesn't accept them, Zhang Haiyao will definitely come over and get them at noon. Can't stand it no matter how much, right?
May was not upset either, and lowered his voice, "I saw a strange thing this morning, I think you must be interested in listening."
"What's the matter?" Li Qinghe yawned before waking up.
May's tone was full of schadenfreude, "I saw your father, take your sister and brother-in-law to the ground."
Hearing that, Li Qinghe's sleepiness was a little more awake, "Is it down to the ground?" The autumn harvest has passed, but it doesn't mean that the villagers have nothing to do. For example, the weeds in the ground have to be cleaned up. It is better to turn the ground again.
Seeing that she was interested, May whispered, "Well, when I came, I even looked over there specifically to clean up the weeds. The whole family is there."
Li Qinghe's mouth couldn't help but aroused, and he smiled and said, "I will send it back for you."
Hearing that, May did not refuse. The two carried the bag of sweet potatoes and went to the village. When they came back, Li Qinghe really looked at the field there. As expected, the whole family was there, and they had already cut a lot. After thinking about it, she went home to boil a pot of tea and sent it to them specially.
Lest someone goes home with tea and never returns.
When she arrived, she heard Li Fu's voice from afar, "This person, you have to move. If you don't move at home, your body will get worse and worse, and you will get sick easily. Then you will have to spend money on treatment. This is work. I won’t get sick, and I’m out of work. In the future, you will come back more. Now I clean up the ground. When the ground is finished, I can go up the mountain to cut wood. Even if they are all cleaned up, the clothes and quilts at home can be taken out and washed until winter. You can make baskets and repair a hoe..."
Hu Yanxi over there was covered in patches, and his face was full of vegetables. When he approached, he found a basket on the side with steamed buns and pickles in it.
Seeing his expression, Zhao Wanwan couldn't help saying, "Father, Yanxi is a scholar. He will take the county exam next year. He has to go back to read."
"He has been reading books for more than ten years and he still fails the exam. Every time he is close, it proves that it is not a problem of knowledge. He has to do some work. I also heard that many scholars were lifted out last year, and they were still too physical. Bad!" He said solemnly, "You will get better and better at work, and you will definitely be able to do it!"
While talking, seeing Li Qinghe coming over with a teapot, he put down his hoe and greeted him with a smile, "I just said I wanted to drink water, so you came."
After saying so many things, Barabara hasn't stopped forever, so he can't be thirsty.
Li Qinghe held back his laugh and poured him a bowl, "Father, drink water." He drank well and continued.
