The Green Lotus Peasant Girl - Chapter 73
After the land is planted, Zhou Chengkang can put his mind on his wife even more. Every day, he has to make soup, either fish soup or chicken soup. Every meal must have meat. The meals are made by him. Li Qinghe is the best way to go.
However, Zhou’s family and Li Fu are very busy. Zhou Chengkang has to go to work. Especially this year, Zhou’s boss will also take care of the children and sell tofu, especially during spring ploughing and autumn harvesting because of the tiring work in the fields. Some people are very willing to buy a piece of tofu to eat.
At this time, it is also the most profitable time to sell tofu. There used to be Mei, after he sent the tofu to town, he came back to the field by himself. Originally there was not much land, so it could be planted, but this year is different. Mei’s is going to take a child, plus she is weak, and she has not been raised yet. Let alone making tofu, it is already strong to help with cooking. Hold on.
So, Zhou Lao Dadi simply didn’t want the harvest and sold tofu directly.
How could Zhou Mu see her own land empty, so she took it and planted it. Then, she could do more work alone. It didn’t matter if she planted it. Zhou Chengkang couldn’t always watch her own mother so tired, right?
So, after feeding the chicken and fish in the house every day and preparing the meal, he went to the field.
Li Fu’s side is the same, too busy.
But no matter how busy Zhou Chengkang is, Zhou Chengkang will come back to cook for his wife. Zhou’s mother didn’t say anything, so she discussed with Zhou Chengkang, “Why don’t you let the fifth sister do it? You don’t have to run around under the sun.”
“No.” Zhou Chengkang refused.
Zhou’s mother didn’t say anything anymore. There was indeed something wrong. People who were pregnant would not be able to cook, especially now that they are still busy in farming. If the son wants to cook by himself, it is also a good relationship for a young couple. She asked Wumei to do the calculation?
It would be nice to help.
There was no one to help Li Fu. More than that, he and Qian were the ones who used to take the big heads, but it rained when it was getting dark one day, and there was only a little corner of the land, so he let Qian first went back, and then went back after finishing that point in the rain.
As a result, Li Fu became ill and developed a high fever. Li Qinghe would know that Qian’s still came to her in the middle of the night to ask for a doctor.
The couple quickly got up, set a carriage and went to Li’s house. Li Qinghe didn’t go to the town, and went straight in to see Li Fu. However, Zhou Chengkang drove to the town to find a doctor without getting out of the carriage.
Li Fu was indeed sick. He closed his eyes tightly on the bed, his forehead was hot, and his condition was dangerous. The doctor came very quickly. After taking the pulse, he sighed, “Too tired and exhausted. When the high fever subsides, he should wake up and take care of it. Don’t be tired anymore.”
There is no danger, people are fine, but the work in the ground… You can’t be too tired, and naturally you can’t go to the ground.
Zhou Chengkang had finished planting Zhou Mu’s land. It was mid-February, Li Fu had been recuperating, and the weeds in the ground had grown.
On this day, Qian came again and said, “Qinghe, go back and persuade your father, he must go to the field.”
Li Qinghe sighed and hurried back to Li’s house. Li Fu had changed his clothes. “Father, the doctor said that you should keep it well. What if you get sick again?”
Li Fu lost a lot of weight. “But if you don’t do it in the field, what will you eat next year?”
At this time, some people in the village had already finished planting their fields. Li Qinghe thought for a while, “I’ll find someone to help you do it. I’ll pay for it. Okay?”
Somehow he pushed the person back.
When Li Fu was seriously ill, Lin Zhixian brought people again. This time he saw the crowd pinch the sweet potato seedlings and plant them into the ground. More people came, even more than the last time. The planting was completed in one day, and basically no seedlings were left. The people who came were farmers from all over the county. After helping to plant it for a day, I knew in my heart. It is said that 50% of the people who grow sweet potatoes in the county this year.
This is already a lot, and you know, there were not many sweet potatoes that grew last year.
Like Li Qinghe, there are so many plants, none of the ten.
When Lin Zhixian came back this year, everyone paid attention to the movement of his home. When people came to watch her bury sweet potatoes, 30% of the people in the village quietly went to the town to buy a few back to bury them. For example, Li Qingmiao and her mother still went to Li Qinghe to buy sweet potatoes, and He’s also went to buy some back.
Later, I saw so many people coming to help grow barley. It was the same as last year. Many people also dig out wide and narrow rows. The farmers are still very capable of imitating, especially last year Li Qinghe asked someone to come back to help dig it and taught them personally. How to dig, now seeing the pinch of sweet potato seedlings to plant, everyone is surprised that if this can live, it will really save seeds.
There were no tricks, and everyone quickly learned it.
They learned to go, and Li Qinghe’s sweet potatoes have also been planted.
After finishing the work in the field, Zhou Chengkang ran to help Zhou’s mother for two days. Zhou’s land was planted. On Li Fu’s side, Li Qinghe still asked someone to help him plant sweet potato seedlings. Of course, the seedlings were from her sweet potato. The second pinch.
When planting sweet potatoes, Li Fu was still worried. He ran to the field and watched for a long time. Since he was inviting people, he asked for more, but he planted them all in two or three days.
When people are invited, they cook for people at noon, and Qian stays at home to cook.
In fact, she has never cooked food for so many people in so many years. Anyway, it can fill up her stomach when cooked, and the taste is just average. Fortunately, the farmers don’t force this.
After the hustle and bustle, the villagers got free. At this time in previous years, Zhou Chengkang only had to go up the mountain to hunt and chop wood. But this year, he spent most of his thoughts in the kitchen, guarding Li Qinghe all day for fear of her falling.
After the spring ploughing, blue bricks have been moved to Yu Yan’s field, and a dozen people have been invited to start construction.
The little white-faced Min Rui, who was rescued by her, finally went out and put on an old patched coat. He came here every day to build a house with everyone. Don’t look at him as thin, especially strong and not bad at work. Strong labor.
Yu Yan sometimes came over to deliver water, Li Qinghe occasionally went over to see it, and happened to run into her to deliver water to Min Rui. The two got along freely and got close, it looked like they were about to get married.
Yu Yan greeted everyone to drink water, saw her standing aside, and walked over with a smile, “Why didn’t brother stay with you today Thursday?”
Li Qinghe laughed, “Why do you stay with him? He was nervous at first, and it will be better after a long time.” Looking at Min Rui over there, he smiled and asked, “You really decided to marry him?”
“It’s pretty good.” Yu Yan nodded, “I can’t find anyone better-looking than him. When I move over, I will start my marriage. I wanted to move in to be a neighbor with you a long time ago, you don’t know. At home, apart from talking to the dry food godfather, I can only quarrel with his nephews, nephews and daughters-in-law.”
Li Qinghe chuckled, “If you get used to being noisy and you move here, you won’t have to be noisy.”
“Who said no?” Yu Yan gritted her teeth and looked over there, she seemed very angry. Seeing that her expression was not fake, she followed her line of sight, and then Li Qinghe saw that Yang Lanrou smiled and carried the buns over to greet everyone. , And sent it to Min Rui specially, with a small smile and gentle eyes.
The point is, Yu Yan is not suitable to come forward at this time. People kindly greet the people she invited to eat steamed buns. What’s the matter if the host rushes to get angry?
Seeing her about to come forward, Li Qinghe put her arm around her, “Don’t be angry.” At this moment, she will only appear stingy.
Min Rui over there didn’t take Yang Lanrou’s buns, and worked on his own, ignoring her at all.
Upon seeing this, Yu Yan didn’t go, mainly Li Qinghe was holding her, she didn’t struggle well, it’s not a joke if she wrestled with someone. Seeing that Yang Lanrou couldn’t hold her smile, the corners of her mouth faintly twitched, “I count him as acquaintance.” He said bitterly, “Just like that, I ran to buy land and want to build a house. This kind of woman lives next door, I I’m afraid I can’t eat the food. I’m going to vomit to death.
It is Yang Lanrou.
Li Qinghe couldn’t help but said, “It’s very strange, why is she staring at us?”
“Can’t you understand that simple mind?” Yu Yan looked helpless, “I didn’t see that young men in the village, whether married or unmarried, had a good attitude towards her. On Thursday, my brother was indifferent to her. Of course, now Add a Min Rui.”
Speaking of the last sentence, the tone was a little smug.
Li Qinghe was dumb, and it is true that she is a girl in the town. The Yang family used to be very rich, a wealth that these people in the village could not imagine. Now the noble girl comes to her, speaking softly, and does not look down on people. Saying that a man is a woman, I can’t help but feel sorry for it.
If she didn’t have a grudge with Yang Lanrou herself, and someone kindly sent food to the door, she would not turn away.
Min Rui refused. Yang Lanrou chased him twice but was rejected. She shook her head reluctantly. She saw the two here in a blink of an eye and smiled, “I have made too many buns. You can try it and try my craft. .”
“I don’t like eating steamed buns.” Yu Yan folded her arms in a cold tone.
Li Qinghe also waved his hand, “I just finished the soup and I can’t eat it. Besides…” She smiled, “Ms. Yang also knows that my family doesn’t like to eat buns.”
Yang Lanrou frowned, “Are you misunderstanding me?”
“No misunderstanding.” Yu Yan said calmly, “It’s just that I don’t like you. Girl Yang is really generous, and she made buns to give people away. But can you not send them to the place where I built the house? Don’t you feel ashamed?”
