The Green Lotus Peasant Girl - Chapter 53
The journey went smoothly. There are usually many people in that village, and many of them have specially prepared houses for passers-by, which can also have hot water and can help feed horses, but they have not found a doctor.
They picked a clean house and asked about the doctor.
There is a doctor in the village, but unfortunately he does not treat the dog. He is afraid that the dog’s bones will be bound and broken. Then he will be really lame. The advice he gave is not to touch or treat. It’s good.
The two returned from the doctor’s house to the home where they were staying. Zhou Chengkang touched his leg, “Why… I help him pick it up?”
Li Qinghe looked at him suspiciously, “Will you take a bone?”
“I learned a little bit.” Zhou Chengkang smiled and asked the master to prepare the plank, and continued, “Uncle Tiger taught me earlier, only the simplest ones. But it’s better than just letting it go, right?”
After half an hour, the puppy’s legs have been tied, and the two of them have spent a long time, and they still feel a sense of accomplishment.
When the two arrived home in the afternoon the next day, not only did they pull a carriage, but Li Qinghe also hugged an injured puppy.
When the two came back, everyone knew that they ran to the county seat without saying a word, and returned quite smoothly.
Seeing the material Li Qinghe brought back, many people asked for the price. Originally, a horse was worth eight dollars, but in the end many people wanted to pull a little bit. The first person asked was the third aunt. She was not good at selling it. She refused, until the end of the sale, only the last thing was left. She actually sold one or two dollars of silver. She really didn’t expect that this would still make money. She knew she would bring more.
The Zhou family was busy for a long time. After the two of them washed and rushed for a few days, they finally could sleep peacefully.
The next morning, the two of them still got up late. These days, the pond in the house had been asked by Li Fu to feed them. It was not that she didn’t want to find Zhou’s mother, but she had never fed, but Li Fu had met them. Hey, tell him how much he needs to feed.
After breakfast, Li Qinghe picked up the baggage Zhao Wanwan asked her to bring and went to Li’s house. At that time, I saw Qian was washing clothes in the yard, but Li Fu didn’t see anyone, but the main door was open and he should be in the house.
When Qian saw her, he didn’t say hello, his eyes didn’t come over, it seemed that he was really angry with her.
Li Qinghe put the baggage in front of her, Qian continued to wash clothes, “No.”
The two words are simple and neat.
Li Qinghe smiled angrily, “Don’t you think I am buying things to apologize for you?”
Qian snorted slightly, disdainfully.
“Really not?” Li Qinghe asked again.
“No.” Qian’s clothes were wrung out and put to the side to dry. Li Qinghe reached out and picked it up without hurriedly saying, “Since I don’t want it, I can use it as firewood.”
She carried her baggage to the kitchen and said loudly, “It’s a pity that she brought me back so far, so I don’t want it!”
In the next instant, Qian’s wind blew in and snatched it over, “You said it earlier!”
Is it my fault?
Li Qinghe smiled angrily, “Give it back to me, I won’t take this burden, and I will send it back to her when I go again next year!”
“Who knows if you want to be ignorant of yourself.” Qian was not polite.
It’s really messy, how does Li Fu feel that the Qian family is good everywhere, and the Xu family has to deal with her? Apart from being better than her peers, how is she different from others? To say good-looking, the original Xu family was not bad for her. Even these years, Xu family has been pampered and treated well, and she has long been better than Qian family.
When the two talked, Li Fu, who heard the movement, came out, and Li Qinghe didn’t bother to talk to her and give him the refreshments he brought.
Li Fu took it and saw that it was a snack. He was very happy, “You can eat it yourself, what can you give me?”
“I didn’t buy much, not in the town, you can try it.” Qian still didn’t go home. At this moment, he quietly glanced at her, Li Qinghe didn’t want to stay anymore, so he got up and went home.
In the following days, most of their thoughts were placed on the new house, just waiting for the housewarming on the fifth day of October.
As the two were about to move, the atmosphere at home seemed a little wrong, but both of them were busy there and didn’t put much thought at home.
This housewarming is different from other happy events. Those can be helped the day before, but for the housewarming, fire will be fired on the chosen day. Therefore, those who helped the day before need to go back to Zhou’s house for dinner.
This time there are so many people eating. Relatively, cooking also needs help. It’s surprising. Not only the sister-in-law Mei, but also Zhang Haiyao, also came in to help out with a belly, and they didn’t feel irritable when talking to Li Qinghe. Strange.
Everyone in the family helped. The fourth day of the fourth day went smoothly. By the fifth day of the day, Li Qinghe started to pack things early in the morning. Just because there are so many people today, he helped to move furniture and other things. Earlier Zhou’s mother told them in private that all the furniture in this house should be taken away if it is better, so that no one would think about it.
Li Qinghe’s house was originally a newly built house. Except for a bed, all the furniture in it was from her dowry. If the good furniture were removed, the house would be empty.
Basically, people who are familiar and close are very happy to help with the move. If there are more people who help, they all move in one trip, and then they respect the kitchen god, light the fire, and start cooking.
The dishes are also good. Li Qinghe kept fish specially, one on each table, and Mei’s tofu. She also bought a plate of vegetables. The vegetables were planted long ago after she set a date, and the meat was bought. It’s fresh, this banquet is in the village, and it can’t be said to be bad. A fish per table is considered a big deal, and it can be regarded as a fun for the host and the host.
Moving house is very lively, just like doing other happy events, even people who are a little bit discordant will not pick up trouble today. It was Qian, who passed by her several times and didn’t talk to her. He didn’t have the awkwardness of the previous days, and he wanted to talk a few times, and seemed to have something to say.
Many people also praised the two of them for the good house, especially the courtyard wall, even Zhou Mu. They also got a lot of nice words, praised her son and daughter-in-law for their greatness, if they wish, they can also move to the new house. Come live.
After the excitement, everyone dispersed. Zhou Mu and Wumei stayed to help clean the yard. After Mei’s helped make the tofu that Li Qinghe wanted to use, they didn’t do business, and took a day off. While helping to clean the yard, even Mrs. Liu was there, Zhang Haiyao held up her belly and swept the floor with a broom like Li Qingmiao.
The two women helped out, secretly showing signs of breaking each other, and glared at each other secretly from time to time.
However, there was no quarrel. There were many people helping. The inside and outside of the house, including the yard, were quickly cleaned up. Before dark, Li Qinghe warmed up the rest of the food and left the Zhou family for dinner.
After dinner, Zhou’s mother left with the family. Li Qinghe and Zhou Chengkang stood at the door, watching them go further and further. At this moment, they were left in the yard. Li Qinghe smiled, looked at the people around him, and said, “Congratulations on the housewarming on Thursday.”
Zhou Chengkang was happy when he heard the words, and he seemed to hand over, “Congratulations to Mrs. Zhou on the move.”
The two looked alike, laughed and entered the door holding hands.
On the first night in the new house, I didn’t know whether it was excited or recognizing the bed. Anyway, the two tossed and fell asleep in the middle of the night.
The next morning, when Li Qinghe woke up, his side was already cold. When he sat up, he saw the figure of Zhou Chengkang in the yard cleaning outside the kitchen. After putting the broom in, he knocked on the door and said, “Madam, you can eat now?”
Li Qinghe leaned on the pillow and chuckled, “What if I don’t eat now?”
“If you don’t eat, you won’t be hungry. When you are hungry, the villain will warm you up again.” Zhou Chengkang smiled and pushed the door into the house, squatting in front of the bed, “What’s your order?”
“It’s still a villain,” Li Qinghe poked his forehead and said with a smile, “This big one, where is the young one? No instructions, you go out first.”
Zhou Chengkang squeezed her bad finger on her forehead and kissed it, then picked up the clothes on the side, “Is it right to dress? The villain can do it for you.”
“It’s not over, right?” Li Qinghe sat up, “Do you want me to take you to a big show?”
Zhou Chengkang lay on the bed, buried his head under the quilt, and laughed out loud. It took a long time to raise his head and hold her hand. There were tears in the corners of his eyes. He seemed to be smiling. He looked very serious, “Qing He, last night After you fell asleep, I didn’t fall asleep all night and felt like a dream.”
Li Qinghe’s heart was slightly sour and sweet. He touched his stubble chin with a serious expression, “Not a dream!”
Zhou Chengkang stayed up all night and was full of energy. After the two had eaten, he ran out of the yard to feed the fish and the chicken on the right. After he came back, he started to make a dog house for Rhubarb.
There were a lot of wooden boards left in the house he had built earlier, so he brought some and started to do it. Li Qinghe and a little rhubarb were squatting on the side.
Two people and one dog are extremely harmonious, lining the green hills behind the house and the pond in front of the house like a picture scroll.
A woman leaning on her waist came to the side of the scroll, walking cautiously, Li Qinghe’s door was not closed, and she looked up and saw Zhang Haiyao coming from far here. After this move, they are far away. Similarly, it is not easy for them to find Li Qinghe anymore.
Zhang Haiyao stood at the door, watching Zhou Chengkang bang bang bang bang, and asked curiously, “Brother and sister, what are you doing?”
“Be a dog house.” Li Qinghe stood up, her legs were sore. She knocked her legs and asked, “Why did Sansao come?” With such a big belly, she was not afraid of falling on the road.
Zhang Haiyao stepped through the door, “I have something to discuss with you.” Seeing Li Qinghe’s suspicion when she raised her eyes, she said sternly, “It’s a business.”
