Chen Qing knew his identity, and he didn't bother to live in the main house, but fortunately, he had the foresight to carry a quilt over. went to the kitchen to make mixed noodles, boiled a pot of gruel, and when he was full, he sat in the yard and rubbed his legs, and Brother Yang sneaked over.

"How about it? I brought some ointment to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, you can apply it tomorrow to reduce the swelling" Brother Yang pulled up Chen Qing's trousers and applied medicine to him.

"Thank you" Chen Qing choked up a little, he received a lesson in the Liang family in just one day, and Brother Yang was the only one who treated him well, which made Chen Qing a little moved.

"Don't be sad, in fact, the Liang family doesn't have such big rules, I haven't heard anyone punished by the family for so long, today it's because you and Zijun will do it for you, don't be so impulsive in the future" Brother Yang frowned and comforted Chen Qing.

"Well, it's me who is too impulsive to do it," Chen Qing nodded and admitted.

"Zijun hasn't come back yet, it's okay, when he gets angry, you can compensate him again, he is not a grudge-loving person, this matter is over, don't worry, lest you have a bad time in the future" Brother Yang instructed carefully.

Chen Qing didn't say anything, he wasn't the only one who did it, anyway, it wasn't the first time he fought, he just fought, and the result was the same if he fought once or twice.

Brother Yang stayed for a while and then went back, and Chen Qing sat in the courtyard and carefully calculated how to make money. The embroidery work must be accepted, but I don't know what work the Liang family wants him to do, if he is too busy, I am afraid that he will not be able to squeeze out time to do private work.

Since he became a long-term worker of the Liang family, the salary must be unpaid, and the debt can only be repaid by saving it privately, but thinking of eight hundred taels, Chen Qing couldn't help frowning, it is estimated that he will not want to pay off the debt if he does not work for 30 years.

Thinking that he has to be almost 50 years old to pay off his debts, how can an old man make a fortune? It seems that he must think of something more profitable to make a living.

That night, Chen Qing slept on a bed made of wood. On the second day, as soon as it was dawn, Chen Qing got up, emptied the contents of the basket, put on his old clothes, and entered the mountain with a sickle.

Today, Chen Qing didn't plan to dig too much, but came to step on some points. After seeing the overgrown forest path, Chen Qing smiled slightly, and the traces of someone walking through it prove that this mountain is not owned by a private person, but a place where you can pick at will.

Liangjia Village is backed by a big mountain, not like Chenjiagou is surrounded by mountains everywhere, this mountain is much higher than Chenjiagou's small hill, the vegetation is more lush, there is a small bamboo forest in the mountain forest, and the green mountains and rivers also complement each other.

In this season, the wild vegetables are old, and it is okay to pick pickled pickles and eat them, but the taste is not good when you eat them noisily. There are pecans on the south side and several plum and apricot trees on the north side. This mountain is not only high, but also big, and Chen Qing walked for an hour to reach the top of the mountain.

Looking high and looking into the distance, the panoramic view of Qingping County is in full view. It was already past midnight when he came down from the mountain, and after eating the leftover food from last night, Chen Qing changed into clothes with fewer patches and went out.

After walking for less than half an hour, Chen Qing arrived at the county seat, entered from the north gate as usual, and went straight to Liangji Cloth Workshop.

Uncle Liu was also quite surprised to see Chen Qing's arrival, it was the busy farming season, and he usually didn't take work at this time. He talked to him for a while before mentioning Abi's marriage.

"Ah Bi gets married, will this embroidery work be sent directly to Wanliutun or to Xiulian as usual?" Uncle Liu was more concerned about embroidery, because Chen Qing asked his aunt not to mention his marriage to his sister-in-law, so Uncle Liu didn't know that Chen Qing was actually married, and he didn't know that Chen Bi's marriage still caused so much trouble.

Chen Qing thought about it carefully, and in the future, he still had to take over the work by himself, and it was not good to hide it, so he explained that the embroidery work was actually his own embroidery.

Uncle Liu was also surprised at first, but then he thought that it was normal for Chen Qing's little brother to know how to do embroidery, but few skilled embroiderers were just little brothers.

"It's actually not a shame, you don't want to say that I don't know everything, how to take the job or how to take it, as long as you hand in the embroidery on time." Besides, when you signed the deed, you also signed it, you are a baby, people mistakenly think you are a gentleman and do not explain, embroidery work has to top the name of the sister" Liu Bo smiled interestingly, but did not say anything about him, anyway, the shopkeeper does not care who the embroiderer is, as long as the embroidery can be completed on time.

Chen Qing picked a small job that could be completed within a month and a half, and notified Liu Bonong to be busy before arranging embroidery work for him. This is the old rule, Uncle Liu instructed him to send it early after embroidery, and then sent Chen Qing away.

Chen Qing returned to Liang's house, just in time to catch up with Li San on duty, Chen Qing was a little embarrassed to see Li San, bowed his head and shouted "Third brother"

Li San smashed his mouth and agreed. He pulled Chen Qing over again and said, "Hey~ We are also old acquaintances, see that you are still willing to call me the third brother, for the sake of the third brother, remind you, don't keep twisting your temperament, the words of the owner are easy to remember, how can you admit your mistakes if you are soft?

Chen Qing nodded and thanked him seriously, "I know, third brother"

"In the future, you can't call me my third brother in front of outsiders, you are the owner, I am the subordinate, so people can't hear it" Li San habitually patted Chen Qing on the shoulder, and stopped with a smile.

Seeing Li San like this, Chen Qing felt a little awkward in his heart, and sulked with his neck, "I am a Liang family worker like the third brother, what should I call it?"

"Tsk~ What's wrong with this!" Li San glared at Chen Qing and whispered, "The third master is the pampered master of the family, no better than in the village, even if he is in a hurry, he will not hold a grudge the next day." The Liang family is considered a good proprietor, and if other large landlords are put aside, they will all be punished or sold."

"Then if he beats me, I can't stand up" Chen Qing said a few words, letting go of the awkwardness in his heart, and daring to stare at Li San as usual.

"You kid just don't listen! But you have made me miserable, why haven't you seen that you are a brother in the past few years? I don't know how to tie a cloth belt" Li San rolled his eyes and damaged Chen Qing again.

Chen Qing grinned and muttered in a low voice, "Brother gives little salary."

"Forget it, even if this matter is over, my Lao Li is not a calculating person, but this is all over, why do you have to get a cloth belt to tie it, so as not to make people misidentify it again" Li San looked at Chen Qing's still bare hair bun and instructed.

"Don't wear it! It's inconvenient to go out to work, and besides, I'm a long-term worker who pays off my debts, and I'm not the real daughter-in-law of the Liang family.

"Yes, it's up to you, I knew you were so stubborn, so I didn't pull you to work in the first place" Li San gave Chen Qing a fist, Chen Qing smiled and took it, and then completely reconciled with Li San.

"If you don't have anything to do, come to the third brother" Before leaving, Li San also quietly instructed.

Chen Qing nodded movingly and entered his courtyard. It was still early, Chen Qing fetched water from the tank to clean up the house, wiped the inside and out, and then unveiled the happy words posted on the window.

Next to the kitchen, next to the bedroom, there is a bathhouse, a stone bathtub half a person high, and the kitchen stove is connected below, as long as the fire is not extinguished, this pool often has hot water.

Chen Qing touched it, the water was warm, and immediately fetched water to wash his body. If you want to say what Chen Qing likes the most in this house, it is this spacious bathhouse. Not only is there a bath bucket, but there is also a sink under the pedal of the bamboo next to it, so that the dirty water can be discharged directly out of the bathroom, and the province has to carry it out and pour water after taking a bath.

After Chen Qing took a bath, he carried a bucket to the patio to fetch water, and filled the water tank and the pool of the bathhouse before lighting a fire to cook.

The kitchen has three stoves, one leading to the bathhouse and two for cooking. On the other side of the kitchen, the side room is full of grain, with the most rice and noodles, followed by grains, and there is a row of salted meat alone, not to mention the various spices that are rare in the farmhouse.

Chen Qing looked through it roughly, and then took some bud rice noodles and millet. The owner was not there, and Chen Qing didn't dare to eat well, so he only steamed the pot and boiled millet porridge to drink. Stir-fry is a little wild vegetable that you dig back in the morning, and a little more salt will help you eat.

After eating dinner early, Chen Qing took advantage of the dawn to sit in the firewood room and embroider. The lighting of the firewood room is not good, and it is north-facing, so it is better in autumn, but it is cold and humid in winter.

After embroidering for a while, Chen Qing thought about building a clay kang for himself. There is a farm tool on the edge of the firewood room, which looks quite new, and at a glance it is an object that is not commonly used.

Chen Qing took a shovel and took advantage of the fact that it was not dark to inquire about the location of Li San, digging soil and mud. The soil used to make adobe bricks is also particular, but fortunately, they are all farmers, and Li San knows where the soil quality is suitable for what to do.

Do a good job of mud cultivation, put it in a cool place to dry, and clean out half of the firewood house, first use soil, sand, etc. to raise to half of the height of the kang, and then the next thing can only wait for the adobe bricks to be done to build the kang.

Chen Qing slept all night in a house full of mud and firewood. The next day, as soon as it was dawn, he ran in and out to carry mud and sand. When Chen Qing finished breakfast, he heard a banging knock outside the door, as soon as Chen Qing opened the door, Shao Fengzhi rushed in first, and Brother Yang stood outside the door and frequently glanced at him.

Before Chen Qing could figure out what was going on, Shao Fengzhi split his head and covered his face, "Didn't you think about it behind closed doors at home? What are you doing? Look at the mud and sand in this place, you think this is a wilderness, you can pick up dirty things at home?"

Chen Qing raised his eyes to peek at Brother Yang, and saw him secretly pointing to the patio floor, and then came back to his senses. After staying in the farmhouse for a long time, there is a straw stick on the ground that may be picked up, but the soil and sand are all over the yard, and it is enough to sweep it occasionally, unlike this slate ground, which is quite dazzling when sprinkled with mud and sand.

"Do you want to see which daughter-in-law has made the house so dirty like you? Do you want me to teach you the housework by hand?" Shao Feng was so angry that he didn't feel like a thief when he slept on the clean patio. Even if it's dirty outside, even the third child's house is so dirty, Zijun has always been a clean-loving person, and he doesn't want to come back when he sees his home like this!

"I'll clean it up now" Chen Qing lowered his eyebrows and admitted his mistake, it was indeed that he didn't pay attention, he wanted to wait for the kang to be finished and then clean up together, but he didn't expect to provoke scolding.

"Since I have taken over the errand of teaching you, I have to teach you well, lest Daddy and Auntie say that you have no rules. Zijun has always loved cleanliness, you hurry up and pick up, otherwise you will not enter this door" After Shao Fengzhi finished speaking, he turned his head and went back to his yard.
