The Green Lotus Peasant Girl
Chapter 37
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 or something, and the manager agreed to find someone to work. , But there are also requirements. People here can’t be novices. It’s better to be 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, otherwise they will lose everything. You, I can still spare time for one or two days, two months...My fry have been in the water, and I really can’t go away.”
Zhao Wanwan looked sad, "It’s not that there is Brother Thursday, you can let him do these things for you, elder sister, I rarely ask you since I was a child. If you help me this time, if you have something to do 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 plant with them in a few days. people."
Zhao Wanwan sighed, "If I can't find anyone, I have no choice but to go."
If this is not possible, a group of scholars can actually easily rush to the Hualou, in case something goes wrong...
She thought so, and Zhao Wanwan had 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 Hualou for wine or something."
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 this, Zhao Wanwan seemed a little impatient, "But I found someone, if they don't return it to me 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 talent, 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 did you go to be lazy?"
No matter how unwilling, I can 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 are all hatched in their own homes, 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 opposite side dragging his feet. His shirt was patched old clothes. This was when they came back from the ground. At this hour, they probably came back to cook.
"When you went to town, why didn't you bring some buns and bones back?" Qian looked at it, frowning and asked.
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 do it if you don’t eat it, right?
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, Li Qinghe was not angry, and went to the kitchen to do it herself.
The weather gradually warmed up, and every family began 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 food for the two of them had just been put on the table, and the outside was dark. Li Fu looked out several times and his complexion was already bad. After the two of them had finished eating, Li Fu was planning 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, and he was so angry that he was full of food and his anger was mostly gone, but his tone was not very good.
Qian was very happy at first, and frowned when he heard that, "Yanxi, they left, I'll send it off."
Li Fu snorted coldly, "Who did you say hello to the town? You can't come back sooner."
"What can happen so close?" Qian didn't take it seriously.
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 tells 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 Qian is not good, but he speaks the truth and has never been arranged.And she really didn’t say anything today. No matter who you encounter with things like this today, you will get angry. When she first came back, she was hungry and almost gave up. This will happen when you hear Qian’s words. 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 around and went out.
She and Qian were disgusted with each other, but Li Fu couldn't let go of them, and they had to 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, and I will 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 and watch 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 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. A fish pond, that pond is a hen who can lay golden eggs and has 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 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 embroidery on their wedding dresses, and they don’t even have any embroidery. She probably knows that she is unwilling to go to Zhang’s house. The fabric of the wedding dresses prepared by Xu’s family is specially designed for people to use. 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 can 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, and I will give birth to a child soon after covering it..."
Li Qinghe glared at her, "Embroiders me better."
Yu Yan laughed loudly, and when she finished laughing, she said, "I will go to the cloth shop with you to select embroidery thread, and I promise to look good."
Marriage is a tedious task. Xu is not convenient to help. Qian doesn’t expect it. Li Qinghe prepares all of them. 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 gave 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 is 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 there is really no one who has sent it so generously.Either it's the same as the dowry between the Hu family and Zhao Wanwan, and it's impossible to make a decision without discussing it a few times.Let’s say it’s a betrothal gift, but the conditions are actually negotiated. For example, what the Hu family meant is to help the Li family save food taxes in the future.
But there are no conditions at all, Li Qinghe was also quite surprised, and watched Zhou Chengkang several times.
You don't have to think about it to know that Zhou's mother didn't give this silver. He must have saved it himself. When?
No matter what I think, the marriage is settled.
When asked privately 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."
