Chapter Eighty-Three: Running Away with Someone

After the steaming stopped, Yuxiang was transferred to Luo Buma's side, and the morning packing work ended earlier. When Qiu Chen's brothers and sisters arrived home, Lan Ying and a few women had already started cooking. Qiu Chen looked at it, and the women plucked some small rape in the vegetable garden and fried them in meat oil. Qinghe's family is cutting a large piece of radish pickles, which seems to be a stir-fried green vegetable and a shredded pickle.

Shaking his head with a smile, Qiu Chen didn't say much, beckoned Junyan Junzhang to come, and asked the two brothers to go to the vegetable garden to cut spinach. The weather is warm, spinach grows fast, and if you don't eat it, you will get old.

Qiu Chen went to the roof beam to pick a few strips of salted meat and handed them to the Qingshan family.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, even pickled products are easy to go to oil and taste, Qiu Chen decided that now that he has a carriage, it will only take half an hour to go back and forth to Qingshui Town, and he will go to the town every day to buy fresh ingredients in the future!

At noon, Yang Shuyong replaced Qiu Chen, led Lin Zi and Brother Quan to carry two large pots of oily salted pork slices and fried spinach to the school construction site. Not long after, Qiu Chen, who was setting up a meal in the courtyard, heard a roaring cheer from there, and slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

sent Yang Shumeng, Lin Xu and Junshu away, except for the work of entering and leaving the warehouse to Junwen, the other people performed their duties and had almost no impact. The processing of the new batch of pharmaceutical materials is carried out in an orderly and busy manner, and Qiu Chen no longer participates in the specific operation of the pharmaceutical industry, but her daily arrangements are still full.

Early every morning, I asked Junwen or Yang Shuyong to set up a car, go to the town to buy ingredients and supplies, and then turn into the Huichun Hall to chat and inquire if there is any news of the caravan. At the same time, Qiu Chen was also inspecting the market of detergents, thinking about how to push out the soap.

When I get home, I have to go to the backyard from time to time to see the progress of work, cook and do housework, take the children to read and write, and practice ten big characters every day...... It was very busy, no worse than before Lin Xu and his party left.

After three consecutive days, Zaijian, the shopkeeper of Chen, couldn't help but smile when he arrived at Qiu Chen, who came to the door early in the morning: "Lin Niangzi, our caravan will go all the way, if there is no major event, only when we get to the ground will we send a message back. ”

"Oh," Qiu Chen replied with some disappointment, being seen through what he was thinking, and inevitably a little sneering, and said with a smile, "This time several children followed...... Hehe, I'm inevitably a little uneasy. ”

Shopkeeper Chen understood Qiu Chen's mood, and said with a smile: "This is also inevitable. However, Lin Niangzi is still relieved, although this time the caravan is going north, but with Liao Da's shopkeeper personally leading the team, those green forests and grass will give some face. Besides, a few days ago, our border army had just won a great victory, and there would be no accidents in Jing'an, the border land. ”

Accidents, what is expected cannot be called an accident!

Qiu Chen pondered secretly, still smiling and thanking Shopkeeper Chen for his relief. As he spoke, Liao Wenqing stepped in, and after seeing Qiu Chen slightly stunned, he immediately laughed.

"Why did Mrs. Lin come over today, but is there something?"

Qiu Chen glanced at Shopkeeper Chen, and the two of them smiled tacitly at the same time.

Liao Wenqing is not stupid, looking at the smiles of the two, it became clear after a little thought, and he couldn't help but smile: "Mrs. Lin is relieved, the caravan will return in a month at most." ”

Qiu Chen nodded, then looked at Liao Wenqing and said, "I don't know if the young owner has time, I have something to discuss with the young owner." ”

"Oh?" Liao Wenqing's eyes lit up and he glanced at the shopkeeper Chen, who immediately turned sideways and led the two into the reception room at the back.

Qiu Chen followed Liao Wenqing to sit down in the reception room, and the shopkeeper Chen personally brought the tea and sent it up, and then withdrew.

Qiu Chen bought vegetables to come to the Rejuvenation Hall, and talked to Shopkeeper Chen for a while, not to mention that he was really a little thirsty. After taking the tea and taking two sips slowly, Qiu Chen put down the teacup and raised his eyes, just in time to meet Liao Wenqing's gaze that he didn't have time to avoid.

didn't blush or anything, Qiu Chen smiled generously and said, "I have something again, but it's not a drug, I want to cooperate with the young owner, I wonder if the young owner is interested?" ”

"Oh?" Liao Wenqing wiped away the embarrassment and disappointment in his eyes, and said with a gentle smile, "What good things does Lin Niangzi have again?" ”

"Hehe, don't say it, this time it's really a good thing, if it is operated well, it is no worse than the previous healing medicine!"

Hearing Qiu Chen say this, Liao Wenqing's interest was really aroused.

What the healing medicine brought to the Liao family, no one knew better than Liao Wenqing. raised his eyebrows and was about to ask, but the voice of myrrh came from outside the door: "Young master......"

Liao Wenqing frowned, and didn't call myrrh in, but got up and arched his hand at Qiu Chen, walked out of the door, and walked out of the door with myrrh, and said something in a low voice.

Qiu Chen looked at the master and servant in the courtyard, blinked his eyes, took another teacup and took a sip of tea, and when he looked up, Liao Wenqing had already returned to the house, with a dark annoyance and frustration on his face, but an apologetic smile on the corner of his mouth.

At a glance, Qiu Chen also stood up with interest, "The young owner is busy, let's go and deal with it." I'm not in a hurry about it, when the young owner is free, it's not too late. ”

Liao Wenqing smiled wryly, arched his hand towards Qiu Chen again, and bowed humbly, but he didn't have time to say a word, so he hurriedly took the myrrh immediately.

Qiu Chen secretly guessed in his heart that he didn't know what was going on in the Liao family, so Liao Wenqing was in such a hurry, but he didn't inquire, resigned from Chen's shopkeeper, and asked Junwen to drive the car back to Liu Jiaao.

The primary school hall is only three main rooms, two wing rooms in the east and west, and a courtyard wall that is much shorter and smaller than the Lin family, and it has been six days since the start of construction, and the courtyard wall and the foundation of the house have been built. The day after Qiu Chen met Liao Wenqing, the village elders in the village gathered together, set off firecrackers, and went up to the beam.

The Lin family took the lead and sent a table of noodles over. This table is not for hospitality, but for the sacrifice of the upper beam. It's just that Zuihou is enjoying these drinks and dishes by those village elders.

On the beam, the two carpenters hired at the construction site finished their work, cleaned up the work and left.

The Lin family has been busy for a long time, and when it was time to finish work in the afternoon, a cry suddenly broke out from the village.

Everyone in the Lin family was surprised to stop the work in hand, and several women swept their eyes, and sent Lin Zi and Da Zhuang to the village to see what was going on.

As Lin Zi and Da Zhuang ran out, the village cried louder, and there was a faint noise and the barking of dogs, and it gradually came from the west of the village to the east of the village.

Several people in the backyard cleaned up their work neatly, and the fire-burner didn't forget to clean up the embers and grass, so they wanted to run out.

Qiu Chen, who was leading the children to write in the front yard, was also listening intently, and when he saw Da Zhuanglin and a large group of people running out one after another, he was a little smiling at how enthusiastic people were, but he still stood up and greeted Lan Ying, who was walking quickly, and said, "I don't know what's going on...... It doesn't sound like a fight......"

Lan Ying and the others nodded hurriedly, Qiu Chen saw that they all had a worried face mixed with a faint excitement, and she couldn't let them work at ease at this time, so she simply waved her hand and said, "Go and take a look, see what's going on......"

Qinghe's family frowned and said, "Yes, I haven't heard of any conflict in anyone's family, and I haven't heard of anyone with a patient......"

As soon as he mentioned the patient, Qiu Chen remembered a person and looked at everyone: "How is the injury of the harvest?" ”

Since that day, the harvest family and the Dakui family brought two village elders to the Lin family to make trouble, the Lin family has never asked about the injury of the harvest. At this time, I thought about it, could it be that the injury of the harvest was incurable?

Everyone's faces also changed when they heard this, obviously they also thought of what Qiu Chen thought of.

"Let's go, let's see!" Qiu Chen waved his hand, and everyone rushed out. Qiu Chen fell behind, turned around and went to the backyard, wanting to see if there were any hidden dangers that had not been dealt with, but saw that Junwen and Junyan Junzhang were busy frying Luo Buma, and Afu Aman was at the edge of the vegetable garden in the north, looking at the group of their beloved chickens and ducks, concentrating, as if they didn't hear the excitement outside at all. On the other side, crushed the haode herb into the jar and added a lid.

As soon as they saw their aunt coming, the three boys immediately greeted them with a smile, Qiu Chen also showed a relieved smile, walked over, touched Junzhang Junyan, and then looked at Junwen and said, "You brothers are so sensible, and my aunt praises them." When this batch of medicine is shipped, my aunt will give you a reward! ”

"Whoa! Well! Junyan Junzhang nodded hurriedly, and asked a little uncontrollably: "Auntie, what kind of reward will you give?" ”

Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "There are still many days to go, you think about it yourself, what do you want, and then I think it's okay, so I promise you!" ”

Ah Fu Aman didn't know when he heard it, he ran over, Ah Fu pulled the corner of Qiu Chen's clothes, Ah Man simply hugged Qiu Chen's legs, and shouted: "Mother, we want it too, we want it too!" ”

"Hmm...... I want to think about it......" Qiu Chen deliberately made a thinking appearance, muttered for a while, and saw that the two children were a little tearful, before he suddenly smiled and said: "Ah Fu Aman is also very sensible and capable of taking care of hens and chicks these days, and he is also a good child, well, that Fu Er Man'er also has rewards!" ”

Before the words fell, the two little things immediately clapped their hands and jumped up in cheer.

As he spoke, Qiu Chen took a dustpan over, took Junwen fried haode Luo Bu hemp and rubbed it, while talking to the children.

"I don't know where the second uncle and the second brother are fighting......" Junyan suddenly said a little worried.

Qiu Chen was stunned, looked at Junyan Junzhang and Junwen and smiled: "I went to the Huichun Hall again in the morning and asked, the shopkeeper Chen said that the caravan would not come halfway if there was no major event, do you think, if you don't believe it, don't you say that the journey is smooth?" So, let's rest assured, they have a smooth journey! ”

Junwen and Junyan Junzhang listened to Qiu Chen's words, and the melancholy on their faces eased a little, but Qiu Chen could feel that they were still inevitably worried in their eyes, and they couldn't help but feel a little concerned. In a blink of an eye, I heard the noise outside and seemed to be closer, so I simply kneaded the dustpan and poured it into the bamboo basket to dry, and then beckoned a few children to go out to see the excitement.

"Let's go, let's go and see, don't have anything we don't know about the delay."

Jun Wen didn't like to join in the fun, but after hearing Qiu Chen say this, thinking that the Lin family was a single family in Liujiaao after all, and it was also beneficial to be well-informed in the village, so he happily agreed to accept the fried haode medicine in the pot and spread it in the dustpan, seeing that Qiu Chen had already helped Jun Yan Junzhang clean up the Martian firewood and grass in the stove pit, and brought Ah Fu Aman with him, laughing and walking out unhurriedly.

The group walked out of the gate, the entire east end of the village was very quiet, and there was no one on the school site.

Looking in the direction of the village, I saw a group of people talking and shouting back from the village, and when they were far away, they saw Da Zhuang and Lin Zi walking in front of them, arguing with each other.

Qiu Chen signaled, and the two boys ran up to the crowd, and soon joined Da Zhuang and his party.

Seeing the crowd approaching, Qiu Chen and Junwen took Ah Fu Aman and simply didn't leave, just stood at the gate and waited for the crowd to come.

Not long after, Da Zhuang and Lin Zi returned to the Lin family for the first time, and when Qiu Chen asked, the shouting and noise in the village was actually the disappearance of the harvester. There was only the harvest and two boys who were sick in bed, and they didn't eat at noon, and it was time to make dinner again, so they sent their son to his grandmother's house to inquire, but he didn't expect that the harvest family did not return to his mother's house, and the mother-in-law of the harvest heard that the girl could not be found, but howled and made a fuss, saying that the Liu family had killed her daughter......

Hearing what was going on, Qiu Chen was speechless or speechless.

The stupid, snarky and shallow shrews of the harvester family went missing and went missing, she didn't want to pay attention to it at all, but thinking about the two children, and the harvest that was sick in bed and couldn't move, it was inevitable that she couldn't bear it. Although the harvest man is a little stubborn, he is still very diligent, and he does not have so many calculating thoughts, and the two children are naughty, but they are not too bad......

"Alas, the harvest family is just treacherous and sour, that is, the harvest and the two children...... It's really impressive! The two mothers-in-law of the brothers who harvested are not haode, and it is estimated that they are enough to choke his grandfather and son......" Lan Ying said while hurrying back to the backyard to continue frying Luo Buma.

The Qingshan family's Qinghe family also sighed. Several people discussed, and when they got home, they would send two dry food to their grandfather first, and they would be hungry at noon, and if they were hungry again, they would be hungry.

Qiu Chen listened to two sentences next to him, and said with a smile: "You all go to send it, don't you send it heavy?" Okay, don't wait for you to go back and send it today, I'll cook it in advance, and let the boys send it when it's ready. Starting from tomorrow, you will send it again, let's arrange the order, one person will send one day, don't be heavy. Don't have any good food, just let that guy eat enough! ”

Lan Ying naturally didn't say anything, and responded with a smile, and even Liu Zhanxiang and Da Zhuang said with a smile, go home and let their family come over and line up with a few sisters-in-law and aunts, and send a few more families, which will also save a tired family.

How they discussed, Qiu Chen didn't care, went back to the front yard, and began to boil rice porridge, with an extra spoonful of rice, boiled the rice porridge thick, and scrambled an egg with spinach. After it was done, Qiu Chen asked Lin Zi, Da Zhuang, and Brother Quan to bring a small pot of rice porridge, a pot of spinach and eggs, and ten white flour steamed buns, and sent them to the harvest family. Before leaving, Qiu Chen also instructed them to pour the food into the bowls of the harvester's house, put it down and come back.

Although the harvesters lived farther away, they were only three miles away from the forest, and they would come back in a quarter of an hour at most. But when Lan Ying and the others finished their work and cleaned up, the boy hurried back. As soon as he entered the door, Qiu Chen saw that there was something wrong with the expressions of the three children, as if there was something new and not easy to say, and he wanted to hide it in his stomach, but he brought it out a little bit on his face, so that the originally calm and generous children had a strange expression.

Lan Ying has a hearty temperament and speaks quickly, so she immediately scolded Da Zhuang a few times: "You boys, don't pretend, when you hear something, say it quickly." ”

Da Zhuang looked at Brother Lin Ziquan, Brother Lin Ziquan also looked at each other, Zuihou still pushed out the more talkative Brother Quan and said: "It's nothing, it's just that someone said that when they saw the harvest at noon, they carried a burden out of the village ......"

"Carrying a burden out of the village? Where is this? She doesn't have any relatives in another village, right? Besides, the harvest is sick in bed, and she can't go to her relatives at this time! Lan Ying wondered.

Qiu Chen heard that Brother Quan had something to say, but he was interrupted by Lan Ying, clapped his hands with a smile and said, "I'm afraid it's not a relative!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at the three boys.

The boy grinned, this time it was Lin Zi who shrank his head and said with an embarrassed face: "The man also said that it didn't take much effort to see the two carpenters in the school where they were going......

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. They all stared at each other with wide eyes for a while before they recovered, and they all felt that this matter was really hard to say, no wonder several boys looked so weird.

Moreover, the few helpers found by the Lin family, whether it is Lan Ying, who is cool, or the Qingshan family, who has a lot of eyes, are not like to talk about people's strengths and weaknesses. The matter of the harvester, right now, is just guessing, before you catch someone and see the facts, talking nonsense can kill people!

Qiu Chen sighed secretly, and greeted everyone with a smile: "It's done, it's done, it's not early, I won't leave you to eat today, hurry home!" ”

Lan Ying and the Qingshan family's Qinghe family borrowed Qiu Chen's words, and immediately laughed, laughing, and the men and women greeted each other and left.

After dinner, the children were writing on the kang, and Qiu Chen and Yang Shuyong were talking.

Speaking of the harvest family, Yang Shuyong shook his head, "I look at the harvest and it's a haode, and that kind of mother-in-law is gone, maybe it's a good thing." ”

Qiu Chen nodded: "If the harvest is confirmed, the daughter-in-law is gone, and when the harvest injury is healed, the eldest brother will consider arranging a job for him...... After all, his body is rolling off the cliff, and I'm afraid he won't be able to do heavy work in the future! ”

Yang Shuyong nodded: "This thing is easy to do, I think the harvest is also smart, and when he recovers from his injury, he will follow Lao He to raise lotus root and fish, take care of the fruit trees at the door, and clean our door and the door of the school, the matter is trivial, but it doesn't take much effort." ”

Qiu Chen nodded, and then changed the topic: "Big brother, you and your second brother have been here for more than 20 days, and we are about to harvest in the summer, why don't you go home and take a look, look at our father and mother, and come back after watching the wheat harvest." ”

Speaking of this, after a pause, Qiu Chen said again: "In addition, you take Junwen back and let him teach my sister-in-law and sister-in-law how to fry Luo Bu Ma, so that my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law can also find two stable people over there in our house, and also set up a small shop to collect Luo Bu Ma." This work is not tiring, since the Qingming Festival, even if it is calculated from Gu Yu, it can be done for at least five months a year, not to mention more, it is not difficult to get a hundred and ten taels of silver a month. While this year's work has not spread, let the sisters-in-law do it for a year...... Well, next year, I'm afraid that someone will follow suit, and when the time comes, we will do other things, and we won't do this job. ”

"Quit?" Yang Shuyong was a little puzzled, others are capable, and the Lin family is also doing it, according to him, Lan Ying is all proficient, and he doesn't have to suffer from his own family, he doesn't earn much, and it is better to earn less than to throw it to others.

Qiu Chen smiled and slowly explained: "Big brother, wait for next year, we will have more than one kind of healing medicine, maybe there will be others." In addition, our soap-making workshop will be built in the second half of this year at the latest...... These are not divided into winter and summer, and there is work and money to earn all year round...... Stir-fry Luo Buma, if someone does it, let them do it! Let's hold on to it, and we can't keep busy! ”

Yang Shuyong pondered for a while, and finally nodded.

Qiu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Big brother, although you want the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law to do this work, you must tell them when you go back, don't let them suffer too much, first find two people to try for two days, if you collect more, hire two more, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law only need to do the job of frying the medicine, and the two of them will take over, and there will be a rest." ”

Yang Shuyong nodded in response. The brother and sister said something else, Qiu Chen told Yang Shuyong, don't tell your father and mother when you go home, don't tell your father and mother that the second brother went to the north, so he said that he went out to deliver the goods, and when he came back in a month, the father and mother of the province and the second sister-in-law were worried.

There is no need for Qiu Chen to tell this, Yang Shuyong will also say the same.

Zuihou, Yang Shuyong decided, in another three or five days, when the project over there in the school is completed, and those masters are gone, he will go back to Yang's shop. Junwen didn't have to go back, he took advantage of the two days to let Junwen teach him how to fry and rub, and he went home and passed it on to the two women. If the two of them are gone, the Lin family will only have a sister with a few small ones, he is not at ease!

Qiu Chen didn't object, and agreed as promised. But she was secretly thinking in her heart, when Yang Shumeng came back, she should also find a kung fu to go to Yang's shop to see Begonia's father and mother, and do her filial piety...... Do your filial piety for Begonia!

As he spoke, he saw that the night was getting deep, and Afu Aman felt sleepy. Qiu Chen asked the Junwen brothers to follow Yang Shuyong back to the house to sleep, she also washed Ah Fu Aman, stuffed them into the quilt one by one, patted Ah Man, looked at Ah Fu, told a little bedtime story, and the two children fell asleep. She got up, went to the pot and scooped hot water to wash herself and went to sleep.

A peaceful night, a good night's sleep without dreams.

The next day, in the afternoon, the village sent someone to return, and determined that the harvest daughter-in-law had really run away with the carpenter. Someone in the town saw the harvest daughter-in-law follow the old carpenter in his forties into a car.

The folk customs are simple, and the small mountain village of Liujiaao, which has always been calm, was in an uproar.

On the same day, several elders of the Liu family got together to discuss for a night, and the news came early the next morning that the harvest daughter-in-law was removed from the Liu family tree, and the harvest daughter-in-law's maiden family, the Sun family, was driven out of Liujiaao!

The harvest lady was gone two years ago, and there was only one father, who lived with the harvest brother. The harvest sister-in-law and brother and daughter-in-law were pressed by the clan elders, and reluctantly responded to the work of cooking for the harvest grandfather until the harvest was injured and could get up from the kang.

This matter seems to be very sensational, but after the Lin family said it once and everyone knew about it, no one mentioned it again. Every day is busy and orderly doing his own work, talking and laughing, and the days go by very quickly.

The next day after the harvest of the family, the Qinghe family finally chose the family surnamed Wang in the town, the young master of the Wang family is old, the family is waiting to hold the grandson, anxious to get married, the Qinghe family is relieved, the second day the matchmaker handed the word over, the big and small gifts are set together, the Wang family gives one hundred taels of dowry, two sets of gold head noodles, four sets of silver head noodles, and six sets of clothes for the four seasons. In addition, there are those indispensable wines in the dowry, pairs of chickens and fish, and so on.

The family affairs should be down, and although people are in a hurry to get married and celebrate the family, they are a little reluctant, but they can't refuse, but Zuihou still should go.

On the same day, the matchmaker called back and forth, saying that the Wang family specially drove to the Fulong Temple in the county seat, and asked the master to calculate the date, May is a bad month, and everything is not appropriate, so it is set to give gifts on April 18 and marry on April 20!

It's April 12, and by April 20, it's only seven or eight days since it's full...... It's really urgent!

Qiu Chen couldn't say anything, but he always felt that the Wang family's matter was really weird and abnormal!

Time is so tight, for the Qinghe family, who has not yet prepared, they are really caught off guard. Marrying a daughter-in-law and marrying a daughter-in-law is a big deal, and the Qinghe family had to come and ask Qiu Chen for leave.

Qiu Chen agreed without saying a word, and instructed her that although she was in charge of Chunhong's marriage with peace of mind, if she wanted to use these people for anything, just come over and squeak. As he spoke, he took out two big red and two begonia red satins from the box and handed them to Qinghe's family.

"Sister-in-law, this is what I added to Chunhong, although the days are tighter, find a few people to help, how can I make a good wedding dress for Chunhong, dress up beautifully......"

Qinghejia hugged the four delicate satins of the skater, his eyes were red with excitement, and he pushed back again and again, but in the end, he was not resolute by Qiu Chen, and returned home with excitement on his face while holding the satin.

Qiu Chen is a new widow, and this kind of wedding celebration cannot be stepped forward. It also saves a lot of trouble.

Qinghe's family asked for leave, but fortunately, Yuxiang had also followed Luo Buma for many days before, and she didn't add temporary manpower, only she brought Junyan Junzhang to help every day.

Because of Qinghe's family, Yang Shuyong postponed his return home for two more days. Ming'er has to go anyway, the wheat has already become fruitful, at most there will be ten days to harvest the wheat, before the wheat harvest has to press the field, sharpen the sickle, prepare the carriage and horses, etc., this year Yang Shumeng, Junwen Junshu several labors have been occupied by her, just Yang Shuyong alone, you have to start early.

After lunch, Afu Aman was sent to sleep, and Junyan Junzhang collected Luo Buma at the gate. After Junshu went out, the work was taken over by the two little brothers, Qiu Chen watched it for two days, and the two children did what they did, so she let it go.

Qiu Chen said hello to Junyan Junzhang and went to Erkui's house.

Manchu's father and Manchu both went to the ground, and the bolt boy and Lingzhi were in the Lin family, and the Wang family took the two eldest granddaughters Zhi'er Xiang'er to do housework at home, feed the pigs and feed the chickens.

As soon as Qiu Chen entered the door, Xiang'er, who was chopping pigweed in the yard, hurriedly put down the work in her hand and greeted her in a low voice: "Aunt Begonia!" ”

Qiu Chen smiled and looked at Xiang'er who was full of vegetable residues, and felt a touch of pity in his heart, such a haode child, but he did these heavy tasks every day...... Alas!

Hearing Zhi'er lower her voice, she knew that the Wang family was probably taking a nap, so she lowered her voice and waved her hand: "You are busy, I will talk to your second aunt to say a few words." ”

Zhi'er agreed again and again, but watched Qiu Chen enter the West Chamber, and then went back to continue chopping her pigweed.

The Erkui family had just heard Qiu Chen talking to Zhi'er, and Qiu Chen entered the door and was getting down from the kang to put on his shoes.

Qiu Chen smiled and said, "What are you polite about, sit down quickly, don't be busy." ”

The Erkui family responded with a smile, but still went to the tea pot and poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Qiu Chen, and then sat back on the edge of the kang. I took a burden from the kang cupboard, spread it out on the kang, pointed to the neatly folded stacks of clothes, and smiled: "I think about the summer heat, and the old man can't stand it, the fat and thin are made two points wider, and the sleeves and trousers are shorter than the winter clothes, these two cocoons are made of collars, and these two pieces of kudzu yarn are made of plackets, and the plackets are cooler......"

Qiu Chen watched her confess one by one, just listened with a smile, and when the explanation of the Erkui family was finished, Qiu Chen directly dragged the burden forward, tied the buckle, and said with a smile: "What's the need to explain this, I still don't worry about the work you do!" ”

The two of them talked, and Qiu Chen raised the conversation and asked, "Last time, when I went to the county seat, Mancang said that he would come back recently...... Have you discussed it with Erkui, what are your plans? ”

Erkui's family said: "I originally thought about building a house and building a school before Mai Qiu...... Hehe, I'm not saying that it's not good to build a school, you have a lot of money to build a school, and the children can read and write, and they all say that this is a great act of kindness that accumulates great virtue! ”

Qiu Chen stumbled when he heard her explanation, his face was anxious, and he looked like he was afraid that he would be annoyed, so he couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I know you don't blame me!" Hehe, even if you and Erkui complain about me, there is no way, the school building has also been built, it is time to delay you to build a house......"

The Erkui family looked at Qiu Chen and said this, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his expression relaxed, and said with a smile: "That's it, that's it." Erkui told me that after building the school, I would build a house...... Keqing and his sister-in-law are back and ready to marry their daughter...... Look, that's not a coincidence! ”

Qiu Chen understood that Erkui was afraid that the Qinghe family would ask for leave, and if he asked for leave again, the Lin family's work would be too busy, so the matter of building the house was postponed again......

Mancang's return is a matter of the moment, and the second Kui's family is crowded in Lan Ying's house, so it can't be said. Why don't you let Erkui's family live in Lin Xu's house temporarily? Ah, there is, the house on the side of the school has been built, three main houses, the hall house and the west house are not separated by mountains, and the classrooms are used as classrooms, the east room is a study room for Mr., and the two east wings are two inside and outside, which are the living quarters of Mr. The two west chambers are useless for the time being, so it is better to let the Erkui family go to the school to live in this summer, and after the autumn, the Lin family will build a house and build a courtyard on the east side.

After going through it again in his heart, Qiu Chen said this to the Erkui family.

Erkui's family was also full of joy when he heard this, and said again and again: "It's still his aunt's brain, Erkui and I have discussed it for many days, but I didn't even think of this stubble." ”

Qiu Chen saw that she was willing, so he continued to smile and said: "It's not convenient for me to talk about this matter, you let Erkui go to Yu Guiye's house at night to talk about it, I think it should be possible!" ”

Erkui's family agreed one after another, saying that he would let him go when Erkui got off work. On the other hand, he began to chatter with joy on his face, to clean up, say hello, and move over as soon as possible, so as not to come back from Mancang, they haven't moved out yet, it's too ugly.

Qiu Chen patted her hand, got up and said with a smile: "Don't be too anxious, you just pack up your clothes at home, wait for Erkui to say hello, Lan Ying and I will come over to help in the evening, and it won't take long to clean up." Big stuff or something, don't move, your body is sinking day by day, you have to be careful! ”

Saying that, he resigned from Erkui's family and returned to the Lin family.

Luo Buma has been collected, and the door of the Lin family has also quieted down, and through the half-open gate, you can see that under the shade of the house in the courtyard, Junyan Junzhang is writing with a large group of boys and girls. The old hen took a flock of chicks and ducklings to wander around the yard leisurely, looking for food, and constantly chirping and quacking, adding a life to the quiet yard.

The little girl just finished writing a big character, and when she looked up and saw her mother, she put down the brush and jumped up, and threw herself into Qiu Chen's arms with her little short legs.

"Mother......" The little girl hugged Qiu Chen's neck and coquettishly.

Qiu Chen combed the little girl's sideburns, took out a handkerchief and wiped a little ink on the little girl's cheek, and said with a smile: "This is the paper that my mother bought is not enough, and Man'er wrote all the words on her face?" ”

Man'er pouted, wrinkled her nose, and made a little grimace, Ren Niang wiped her face, hugged Qiu Chen's neck and said, "Mother, where have you been?" Man'er woke up and couldn't find his mother! ”

"Mother went to your second aunt's side......" As he spoke, Qiu Chen walked over to several children, sat down and read the children's writing one by one, and pointed out the mistakes to the children. Then, I took two large characters to write haode, each with only two or three words, and a writing stroke at the back, which is specially used to teach children to read and write.

After teaching the children to recognize words, they let the children go for half an hour, let them be loose, go to the backyard to play on the swing, and tease Xiangxiang's family or something.

Qiu Chen looked at Junyan Junzhang Afu Aman, who was jumping up with joy and scattering to play, and couldn't help but think of Yang Shumeng, Lin Xu, Junshu and Chengzi who went out on a long trip.

The second brother and Lin Xu have been walking for seven or eight days, and they don't know what the situation is on the road, and they don't know if they have reached the ground at this time. Lin Xu, Junshu, and Chengzi have never been far away, and they don't know if they can stand it, in case they get motion sickness or get cold, and eat cold food and break their stomachs...... What can you do? The hateful thing is that at this time, not to mention the mobile phone, even the communication is carried by the businessmen who come and go, it is extremely inconvenient not to say, and when the letter arrives in the hand, I don't know how long it will lag! Like Qiu Chen, who is worried about the situation on the itinerary, it is simply unrealistic to expect a letter...... Alas, Qiu Chen sighed helplessly, muttering, if only she could raise carrier pigeons, it would be nice to have a flying pigeon to pass on the book!

Just when Qiu Chen was thinking about the flying pigeon to pass the book, Yang Shumeng and Lin Xu had already arrived at Eighteen Lipu, a small town more than 400 miles away from Liujiaao.

After the initial discomfort, as the distance extended, Junshu, Chengzi and Lin Xu gradually adapted to the life of long-distance travel. Lin Xu also changed from the initial ignorance of the excitement and expectation of shijie outside, to become calm and restrained.

The little boy was born handsome, and because he was more bookish because of his reading, he was quite different from a group of rough dart masters and simple guys. But Lin Xu adapted very well, the initial restraint and shyness were gradually put aside by him, and he gradually became calm and natural in speaking and acting, and those guys and stewards and dart masters can also talk, and they also took the initiative to bring their own dry food to eat with everyone, and because they read books, they have something to say, although most of those men are illiterate, but they are well-informed, and some are interesting things that they have seen and heard, or witty or sad or joyful, although the language is not lacking in vulgarity, but it is also really attractive, gradually, Lin Xu was like a fish in water among the crowd.

Lin Xu's change and growth was seen in Yang Shumeng's eyes, but he was overjoyed, and secretly pondered, if there is a chance in the future, he will let Junwen Junshu come out more and experience the experience, so that he can become an adult.

After getting off work in the evening, Er Kui went to Liu Yugui's house to inquire about living in the school for the time being. Erkui's family is also surnamed Liu, and it is not far from Liu Yugui's family, Liu Yugui goes back two generations, and Liu Erkui's branch is still a family. In addition, Erkui's father and mother did too much, and the old people in the village blushed for them, and they also felt a little more pity for Erkui's family.

Originally, Liu Yugui was laying out, and like Mr. Xu, he hired a mother-in-law to clean and clean, cook, wash and wash clothes for Mr. Pan, who was about to come, Liu Erkui came to the door and said that he wanted to temporarily borrow the school to live in the school for a summer, and Liu Yugui agreed at that time. However, the condition is that the cleaning inside and outside the school, cooking for Mr., laundry and other work will be handed over to Erkui's family.

Erkui did not hesitate to come down. He did the cleaning work with his hands, the laundry and cooking work was not tired, Shanzi Niang could do it, if he couldn't do it, he would go back and talk to Lin Niangzi, and he would go home at noon, and the Lin family would not disagree.

After returning from Liu's house, Erkui immediately went to Lin's house, reported Liu Yugui's conditions to Qiu Chen, and said after the deadline Ai Ai said: "...... Auntie, I won't have lunch here in the future, I'll go back and make lunch for Mr. Pan...... Shanzi Niang watched her body get heavier and heavier...... What, when Shanzi Niang is out of confinement, I don't have to go back......"

Erkui stammered, Qiu Chen listened to it, and roughly understood what he meant, so he couldn't help but interrupt him: "Okay, you don't need to say it, you can't go home and cook ......"
