The Green Lotus Peasant Girl - Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Dumbfounded




This is just to say, the two were too busy. After returning, they quickly took the prepared gifts and returned to Li's house. On the first day of the first month, the married daughter had to go back to her natal home for lunch. When the time came, Zhao Wanwan and the Qian family People are cooking in the kitchen.

Zhou Chengkang went to talk to Li Fu. After the Chinese New Year, when the weather improves, it will be spring ploughing. Weng and son-in-law are still quite talkative.

In fact, in Li Fu's mind, Zhou Chengkang's son-in-law from the farmer family was more in his heart than the son-in-law who would later be a talented man. The first pair of him had different minds. Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe sent back a lot of meat and vegetables throughout the year. They also helped him with work and took him to a small stay. There are no fewer gifts for the holidays. This is the one worn today. The new clothes were the fabric they sent back. It is said that if a married daughter is still filial, it is the son-in-law who finds well, and the son-in-law is also filial.

Hu Yanxi over there, I lived for more than half a year last year, no matter what the festival, it was nothing, and only started to work with him during the autumn harvest. Li Fu really looked down on the work he did. In fact, after getting along for a long time, scholars are just like that, nothing great. Especially today on the first day of the new year. The two went back yesterday morning. They came back this morning with nothing but nothing.

Although Li Fu didn't want their gifts, it would be quite disappointing if there was nothing at all.

Second, how does Li Fu regard Zhao Wanwan as his biological daughter? From the point of view of blood relationship, it is one step behind. Moreover, most directly, he and Zhou Chengkang have something to say, whether it is about crops in the field or feeding pigs and chickens, or even going up the mountains to chop wood. Sitting with Hu Yanxi, it is easy to be cold. Don't look at it for nearly a year. When the two talked hard, they didn't talk to Zhou Chengkang occasionally.

Li Qinghe went to the kitchen and helped the two of them cook. The Qian's changed a lot recently, his hands were a lot rougher, and his face became darker. Seeing her come in, he smiled and said, "The food will be fast."

The mother and daughter did not know what they said and seemed very happy, but when she came in, the atmosphere obviously became colder, "Sister, I heard that Sister Yu is going to build a house behind you and be your neighbor?"

Li Qinghe nodded, "There is such a thing."

"Before I guessed who the other girl was cheaper, or what kind of person to recruit, I didn't expect her to actually..." Qian shook his head, looking indifferent, "Isn't there anything about Lai Xing? Ok? She just looks down on it? Don't bully the young man, wait until later, when she regrets it."

Li Qinghe doesn’t like to hear these words. It’s true that reading is the best way out, but it’s too much investment, and now I’m going to the county town and traveling all day and night. It’s not too far anyway. It takes half a month to go back and forth when I get to the township test. Quite a lot, who can afford it?

It is not always safe along the way. If you want to be stable, it is best to be in the village.

Yu Yan's origins are a mystery, but at a glance, she knows that she came from a big place, and ordinary people can't learn how to embroider by hand. How can you fall in love with a man who is not even a talent? Not to mention that this man is not sincere to her, it is even more impossible.

If she doesn't speak here, Qian can't go on. "You two will pick a place so you can be neighbors in the future. Is the land on the west side a blessed land? How come the people who move are rich?"

Zhao Wanwan smiled, "Mother, that's because when idlers can afford the land, they don't have the money to clean up."

The atmosphere was actually quite embarrassing, but fortunately, the food was ready soon. The family sat at the dinner table and the room was warm and warm. Li Fu was very happy and had a drink with his two sons-in-law.

A few people drank, and they couldn't remove the dining table for a while. Li Qinghe went to the kitchen to help with cleaning. Zhao Wanwan secretly looked at her several times, "Sister, I heard that you and brother-in-law made a lot last year."

"Not much." Li Qinghe said casually, "Don't look at making a lot of money, in fact, you will get some wages if you remove the capital."

Zhao Wanwan was thoughtful, and sighed in a low voice after a long while, "Chinese New Year was originally a happy day, but I'm worried. Those who go to the county test after a while should set off again. We still don't know where to get our entanglement. I don’t know if Dad has any money to lend me?"

It’s not enough to live here all year round, so I want to ask Li Fu for money? If Hu Yanxi's father is still there, I'm afraid it's not so good.

Or... she said in front of her, she couldn’t say she still wanted to borrow money from her, “Your mother-in-law is not a helper in the town, she should have it? Besides, you two don’t need to spend a penny on food and drink. It's not your turn to worry about this."

When these words came out, Zhao Wanwan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "If this is admitted, he will be a talented person. If I can't do anything, how am I embarrassed?"

The two lived in this country all year round. Although they helped the family with work, Li Fu didn’t want to pay them any wages. No matter how embarrassed they are, they can only take it on their own. The money is earned, not just talking about it. I'm worried.

Li Qinghe didn't take the initiative to say that she wanted to borrow money, let alone take the initiative, even if Zhao Wanwan spoke, she didn't borrow it.

Hu Yanxi did not pass the exams for so many years to continue his studies. Anyway, he can't make any money. Who knows when he will be the head? Even sisters, there is no such support method.

After drinking the wine over there, Li Qinghe said goodbye and left, Zhao Wanwan did not ask her to borrow it.

The two left Li's house, and it was getting late. When they passed Zhou's house, they couldn't help but went in again to take a look at Mei and the child.

Mei's had been nearly two months ahead of schedule, and she hurt herself. Now she has no milk, and she feels a lot more haggard. The child's small face is not as big as her slap, and she is so hungry that Li Qinghe feels uneasy. I couldn't help but said, "There are a lot of fish in my pond, let my eldest brother fish some back and make soup for you."

Mei smiled weakly, "Thank you, I think so too, I will buy it with you then."

People are so weak that they are still thinking about giving money. Li Qinghe waved his hand, "You can sleep a little longer, I'll talk about it later."

After that day, Boss Zhou came to fish for a catty of fish every day to make the soup, and within two days he heard that he had breastfeeding.

After breastfeeding, the child can live.

In the first month of this year, there was a lot of rain, and it continued until the end of the first month. Everyone who wanted to plow in spring had to take the rain to remove the grass, and work was a lot slower. Li Fu was not in a hurry. Last year, he took his family to dig through all the fields. One winter passed and there were not many weeds, so he could plant them with just a few minutes.

Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe had eight acres of land, and both were wasteland that had just been planted for a year or two. The weeds grew wildly. Depending on the words of the two of them, they had to work for many days to clean up. Both of them have hired people for the past two years, but if they want to hire people this year, I'm afraid they can't. Even if the villagers want to earn money, they are doing their own work. The dealers are the most important. Or the harvest in the field. If the seeds don’t go down, what are the two days’ wages enough to do?

Moreover, Li Qinghe was afraid that she could not work if she wanted to work. At the end of the first month, she always felt sick, so she went to the town to find a doctor for a pulse, and she was pregnant.

At that time, Zhou Chengkang's complexion changed rapidly from surprise to shock, and then tentatively asked, "Doctor, if you lose your baby, will you hurt your body?"

On weekdays, Zhou Chengkang would occasionally help the villagers to pick up the doctor. On the New Year’s Day, Mei gave birth to the doctor, or he came to pick it up. Everyone knows it. Doctor Huang looked inexplicable at the time, “Why did you lose your baby? No children yet?"

Then I remembered the injury he had asked, and combined with Mei's life of almost nine deaths, it was instantly clear, "The abortion is also very hurt. It is not more than giving birth to a child, so let's raise it well."

It is dangerous to have a baby, and it is also dangerous to not have a baby. On the way back, the horse took a walk, not to mention running, especially when he refused to let Li Qinghe sit in front, saying that he was afraid of falling.

At this time, Zhou Chengkang can't take care of the land anymore. Anyway, fish farming can make a living. Let this year pass. Many people feel that Li Qinghe’s wasteland has been planted year after year, and even when Zhou Chengkang himself thought so, the coachman with a knife who came last year came again this year.

Originally, Zhou Chengkang didn't plan to continue planting the land. At this time, Lin Zhixian came to the door to show him that it was still to be planted. So he moved out the sweet potatoes that existed in the cellar last year and buried them in the ground as densely as last year.

Lin Zhixian looked at the eight acres of land full of weeds and asked, "I heard that you deliberately dug out wide and narrow rows for growing barley last year, leaving a place to grow sweet potatoes?"

"Yes." Zhou Chengkang nodded, "It's just that this year I'm afraid it will be impossible. The people in the village have not finished planting the land yet. We can't hire anyone. If my wife is pregnant and can't go to the land, I have to take care of her..."

Lin Zhixian's expression was solemn, "I want people to emulate you and plant for a year. How can you be convinced if you don't plant it?"

Looking at Li Qinghe who was standing on the side, Zhou Chengkang carefully guarded it. It was indeed a difficult person to let the two people plant eight acres of land. He thought about it for a while and said, "I'm looking for someone to help you plant.

Li Qinghe was stunned, if they could, of course it would be better.

So, two days later, in a rare good weather, a group of people entered the village violently and went straight to the wasteland early in the morning, dozens of people, within a day, all eight acres of land were turned over and planted with barley. People said that the reserved place will come back when the sweet potatoes are planted.

It's definitely coming. What's so strange about growing wheat? The way to grow sweet potatoes is the most important.

When a group of people left, when the villagers came home in the evening, they couldn't help but come over and take a look. They could plant such a large plot in half a day without having to do it by themselves, which made people jealous.
