Li Qinghe was stunned.

The surprise on her face was not concealed. Zhao Wanwan looked at the kitchen and whispered, "I have asked, if I leave, this work will definitely be gone. Then I said something, and the manager agreed to find someone to work. , But there are also requirements. People here should not be novices. It is best to have worked as a helper in a restaurant. Sister, can you help me this time, OK?"

Seeing the heat in the kitchen, Li Qinghe really did not want to come back, shook his head and said, "I am very busy over there. There will be dozens of chicks in two days. You also know that the chicks have to be careful, or they will lose everything. For you, I can still have time for one or two days, two months... My fry have also been in the water, and I really can’t go away."

Zhao Wanwan was full of sorrow, "It's not that there is Brother Thursday, you can let him do these for you, sister, I have rarely asked you since I was a child, this time if you helped me, if you have something in the future, if I can Help, I will definitely help you!"

Her eyes were full of expectation, and Li Qinghe stretched out her hands, "There is nothing you can do. You can't count on me. You should know how busy my house is, and my land has been opened. I will spring planting with them in a few days. people."

Zhao Wanwan sighed, "If I can't find anyone, I can only go there."

If this is not possible, a group of scholars can actually easily go to the Hualou. In case something goes wrong...

She thought so, and Zhao Wanwan already said over there, "I'm afraid that my husband will forget me after he leaves me. It is said that their scholars like to go to the Hualou for drinks and so on."

It turned out that she had a clear heart.

Li Qinghe suggested, "It's better to find someone to work for you. You can definitely find it in this town, but you can give me some benefit."

Hearing that, Zhao Wanwan seemed a little impatient, "But I found someone. What if they don't pay me back after I come back, or if she does better than me, what should I do if the restaurant doesn't want me?"

Speaking of later, the tone is not very good.

She was upset, Li Qinghe lost his mind, and said, "Your fourth brother is still waiting for me, so be it."

She turned around, but Zhao Wanwan grabbed her sleeves, "Sister, judging from your talents, you seem to be familiar with the chef?"

"It's just a acquaintance." Li Qinghe said calmly, "I want to ask him to help collect a few fish, but I want to help you keep a living, I'm afraid it won't work." After that, he pulled out his sleeves and turned around and went out.

Zhao Wanwan wanted to chase again, someone in the kitchen shouted, "Where is the fire burning? Where are you lazy?"

No matter he was unwilling, he could only go in, "coming."

After leaving the kitchen, Li Qinghe shook his head, no longer thinking about Zhao Wanwan.

There are still too few chickens in the house, but the chicks all depend on their own incubation, plus the premature death, this is much more difficult than feeding fish.

She and Zhou Chengkang went to the seed shop. They usually grow barley and rice. She doesn't have a paddy field. Naturally, she can't grow rice, so she can only buy barley.

When the two returned home, it was still early, and Qian came from the other side dragging his feet. His shirt was patched old clothes. This was when he came back from the ground. At this hour, he probably came back to cook.

"When you went to town, why didn't you bring some buns and bones back?" Qian looked at it and frowned.

Li Qinghe said casually, "It's too late, it's gone."

"You go back," Li Qinghe urged Zhou Chengkang on his side, the color on the side was not so good, "I'll go home and cook."

Zhou Chengkang looked at her and wanted to touch her comforting. He had to give up thinking that Qian was around, "Don't think too much, look forward."

When he left, Li Qinghe came in, and Qian poked his head out of the kitchen, "Hurry up and help, can you still eat?"

In a preaching tone, Li Qinghe originally planned to help with cooking. Her attitude was too natural to be used to her problem, so she turned around and walked in, "I'm not hungry."

You don’t have to make it if you don’t eat it.

Sure enough, Qian didn't say any more, and shrank back with a sneer.

When the meal was ready, she really took all of it to the field, leaving nothing behind. Li Qinghe was not angry, and went to the kitchen to do it herself.

The weather gradually warmed up, and every family started to plant in spring. Li Qinghe was a wasteland. The two races of her and Zhou Chengkang were actually very slow. She was not in a hurry. When Li Xingwang's family finished planting, she invited their family. All planted.

After planting over there, Li Fu hasn't finished planting yet. Qian was unwell and rested at home. Li Qinghe went to help planting for a day.

When the father and daughter came back at night, they found the cold pot and stove, and the food hadn't started. Naturally, it was impossible for Li Fu to cook. Li Qinghe went into the kitchen by herself. She was really hungry.

May as well Li Fu grabbed her, "Don't do it, take a break, I'll let your Aunt Qian do it."

However, after looking around the house twice, no one was seen.

After the father and daughter looked at each other, Li Qinghe went to the kitchen to cook, and Li Fu ran to help her set the fire.

The two of them had just put their food on the table, and the outside was dark. Li Fu looked out several times and his complexion was not good enough. After the two of them had finished eating, Li Fu was going to look for it, and he came back by himself.

"Where have you been? Can't you see when it gets dark? Where can I find you if something happens?"

When Li Fu first came back, he was tired and hungry. He was so angry that he would have eaten and anger for the most part, but his tone was not very good.

Qian was very happy at first, and frowned upon hearing this, "Yanxi and they left, I'll send it off."

Li Fu snorted, "Who did you say hello to the town? You can't come back soon."

"What can happen so close?" Qian was disapproving.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Li Qinghe went back to the room by himself, intending to avoid it, but he heard Qian's dissatisfaction under the eaves, "Qinghe told you something again, when I come back to you The nose is not the nose and the face is not the face. Who will show you the face?"

The conscience of heaven and earth, Li Qinghe does sometimes say that the Qian family is not good, but he speaks the truth and has never arranged it. And she really didn’t say anything today. No matter who you encounter with this kind of thing today, you are going to get angry. She was hungry when she came back, and she almost quit. I will hear what Qian said. Immediately he became angry and stopped returning to the room. He turned around and reentered the main room, saying, "I will let the Zhou family see the wedding date and get married as soon as possible."

Li Fu was taken aback, when he wanted to speak, Li Qinghe had already turned and left.

She and Qian looked at each other and disliked each other, but Li Fu couldn't let go of them, and they would leave sooner or later, so let's get married earlier. Besides, marrying Zhou Chengkang is still pretty good.

The latter is more important.

When she went to the pond the next morning, Zhou Chengkang was already there and had finished feeding the fish. The two said some fry and chicks, and they heard him suddenly say, "Qinghe, let's get married. I'll cook for you in the future."

This still cares about the attitude that Qian’s took for granted yesterday. Li Qinghe looked into his eyes, "Okay."

"Did you agree?" Zhou Chengkang was immediately overjoyed, and stretched out his hand to hold her, "I will let people go to see the day immediately."

The two were very happy when they decided this. Zhou Chengkang was anxious, and while Li Qinghe was watching here, he ran to find Xipo.

News broke out in the afternoon that the fourth wedding of Zhou’s family was scheduled for the fifth day of April, two months before now.

This news is not surprising. When the two of them years ago, Zhou Chengkang helped fish and sell fish every day, and after the new year he helped to grow the land, and even watched the shack built by the chickens. He lived in this way. Get close, you will get married sooner or later.

In fact, if it weren’t for the two to get close, someone would actually come to discuss marriage with Li Qinghe. It’s really what she has on hand that makes people eye-catching. Whoever marries her would be married with a dozen taels of silver to enter the door. A fish pond, that pond is a hen who can lay golden eggs and earns an income every year.

The wedding date is set, and the two get along the same as before. Maybe they are still a little different. They are more intimate. It should be that Zhou Chengkang is more confident and often holds her hand. It can be seen that he is looking forward to getting married.

When the marriage is set, you have to start preparing the dowry. Yu Yan even came over to express her joy when the two married, and smiled and asked her, "Should I ask me to embroider your wedding dress?"

The girls of the villagers usually only have a little embroidered wedding dresses for the married couple, and there is even no embroidery. She probably knows that she is not willing to go to the Zhang family. The fabrics of the wedding dresses prepared by Xu's family are specially designed for people. Back, a rare piece of bright red cloth. Li Qinghe can only embroider some simple ones, "I will do my own wedding dress. I have already thought about your work. You help me embroider the happy quilt."

Hearing that, Yu Yan was not upset, and even teased her, "Then I like being taken, can I embroider pomegranates for you? The implication is good, after the cover is covered, you will give birth to a child..."

Li Qinghe glared at her, "Embroiders me better."

Yu Yan laughed loudly. After she finished her laughter, she said, "I will go to the cloth shop with you to select embroidery thread. I promise to look good."

Marriage is very tedious, Xu is inconvenient to help, Qian doesn’t count on it, and Li Qinghe prepares everything by herself. The next day, she first selected the quilt, fabric and embroidery thread, and took the size measured by Zhou Chengkang. Go to town to make furniture.

At this time, Zhou Chengkang, mother and son, brought the matchmaker to the door and sent the bride price.

The betrothal gift of Zhou's family is quite satisfactory, the dim sum melon seed fabric, this fabric includes the bride and parents alone. It's worth mentioning that five taels of silver were put on Li Qinghe's cloth.

A small silver ingot, in this village of Wang, can be regarded as a great sincerity, and no one has sent it so generously. Either it is the same as the dowry between the Hu family and Zhao Wanwan, and it is impossible to make a decision without discussing it a few times. Let’s say it’s a betrothal gift. In fact, the conditions were negotiated. For example, the Hu family meant that they could help the Li family save food taxes in the future.

But there are no conditions at all, and Li Qinghe was also quite surprised. He watched Zhou Chengkang several times.

You don't have to think about it to know that Zhou's mother didn't give this silver, but he must have saved it himself. When?

No matter what you think, the marriage is settled.

When asked in private the next day, Zhou Chengkang said helplessly, "It's not mine, it's borrowed."

Li Qinghe was suspicious. She didn't ask for five taels of silver. What's the matter?

Seeing her doubts, Zhou Chengkang explained in a low voice, "Mother borrowed it, I promised. The third brother is five taels, so naturally you can't be less."
