"If it weren't for me, that girl would have died a long time ago." Deng Chunzhi muttered quietly.

"Fools? Scold...... Yes, you can't say that about him, people are not stupid now, they ran away! delayed Xiao Qi's life! For such a long time, even if you hire a servant, you don't need a single copper coin? Do you still think Xiaoqi owes us? Qu An frowned and stared at Deng Chunzhi, as if he wanted to get back the little girl from Deng Chunzhi's face.

"What do you mean I ruined her life? If she had been in peace, it wouldn't have been! She is not at ease now that the people have run away, what do the people in the village say in private? She deserved it! ”

Qu An's blood surged, and he slapped it on the table, and some of the tea spilled out because of the concussion, fell on the table, and seeped into the wood.

"Listen to your mother's family? Why don't you ask the rest of the village what they think of Xiaoqi? How much did Xiao Qi help the people in the village? You just listen to your mother's family chewing on the root of your tongue there! You! Do you still think that you are the lady of everyone? Look down on the people in the village, and look down on me? Then why did you marry me at that time? ”

“……”

Qu Rui was frightened by this scene, shrunk back, wanted to leave but couldn't move.

At this time, Qu Zhongshan's face was gloomy, he heard the noise here as soon as he read the book, he didn't care about what Fei Jiao said, but he didn't like Qu Xiaoqi.

He remembered the things that he had been taught a lesson before, and he couldn't wait to cut Qu Xiaoqi and the man next to her a few times to relieve his anger.

"Can you be quiet? I still want to study books, and I have to participate in the imperial examination next year, can you not bother me? ”

His son spoke, and Qu An's face improved a lot.

Deng Chunzhi felt most sorry for his son, and hurriedly apologized, "It's my mother's fault, my mother doesn't speak, you go to Wenshu well, we won't bother you." ”

This was a rare rest time of the year, but I didn't expect my son to be so diligent, Deng Chunzhi was very distressed.

Looking at Qu Zhongshan's back, and seeing him wearing thin clothes, he said sarcastically: "Your good niece went out to bring back so much cotton, and would rather give it to the people in the village than give your uncle a little new clothes." What do you see your son wearing? You treat her as a baby, and you don't look at whether others treat you as an elder and filial piety, isn't this a white-eyed wolf? ”

Qu An felt guilty about his son, because his family was poor, his son was so strong and stubborn, and he suffered some hardships in the private school.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been injured on his face before, the two of them would have found out that they didn't know that their son's situation in the private school was so difficult.

Fortunately, a friend maintained it and saved Qu Zhongshan in time, otherwise I don't know what it would be like.

This is also their misunderstanding of Qu Xiaoqi, after coming back, Qu Xiaoqi's mind was all on building a house, finding a place and a pig, her share of cotton wanted her aunt to help play it several times, but she always forgot, otherwise Aunt Caifeng was too busy.

She thought that when she went to visit her uncle after the Chinese New Year, she would send some cotton, although it was only a few days late, and it was not very difficult to stuff it into her clothes, and she could wear it for a while.

It's just that I didn't expect that in just a few days, there was a gap between her and her uncle, and gradually, this gap became bigger and bigger, and by the time she reacted, it had reached a point where there was no way to make up for it.

Speaking of Qu Xiaoqi, for Chinese New Year's Eve, she got up and killed a chicken.

The customs here are similar to modern times, and the people in the village do not pay much attention to the rules, so Qu Xiaoqi took Zeng Miaoya to Aunt Caifeng's Chinese New Year's Eve.

Chinese New Year's Eve is to observe the New Year, although there are no fireworks, every household in the village will also gas a small fire in the yard, I think the scenery at that time should be very warm.

For the first New Year after he arrived here, Qu Xiaoqi is looking forward to it.

Aunt Caifeng promised to make dumplings before, and yesterday she had already told her that she would chop the stuffing early today, so that she could taste her own craftsmanship.

Qu Xiaoqi doesn't know how to make dumplings, so this matter has to be handed over to Aunt Caifeng, and she will now take the plucked chicken and some eggs to Aunt Caifeng with Zeng Miaoya.

The people she met on the road had strange eyes, she was used to them, and when these villagers looked at her normally, she would feel strange.

Ah, my goddamn charm.

Immediately, Qu Xiaoqi chuckled out loud at her own thoughts, there is no modern entertainment here, even if she says some stalks, I am afraid it will not resonate with people.

Zeng Miaoya didn't rush to doubt because Qu Xiaoqi suddenly laughed, she felt that this period of life was simply the happiest time she had ever grown up.

The clothes on the body are comfortable and fitting, the hair is clean and fresh, and the bedding is warm at night. I can eat enough every day, I don't have to worry about being driven away, even if I do my job, I can do it if I want to, and I won't be told if I don't want to do it, how can life be so good?

During this period of investigation, Qu Xiaoqi has already decided where to build the house.

originally planned to be at the head of the village, but thinking of the rude woman next to Aunt Caifeng's house and the son who became a thief, she subconsciously wanted to stay away from this trouble.

After all, she couldn't be too far from the pigsty, and of course, not too close, otherwise she wouldn't be able to stand the smell.

Originally, the location of the pigsty was very remote, and the land she bought before was not small, so she thought about building a house with a large yard at the foot of the nearby mountain.

Although it can't be compared with a large family, it is enough to accommodate nearly ten people, with a separate kitchen, bathroom, toilet and study, plus a small pony shed for two horses, so the area is not small.

Her thoughts were quickly interrupted, and she had already walked to Aunt Caifeng's house.

Seeing Qu Xiaoqi coming, Zhang Jiayong stepped forward to ask for warmth, seeing him like this, he couldn't wait to step forward to see if Qu Xiaoqi had brought anything delicious.

"There are dumplings to eat today, you can settle down a little." Aunt Caifeng patted Zhang Jiayong, and then helped Qu Xiaoqi carry things.

Now she is not as distressed as she was when she looked at the chickens and eggs, and the silver she earned in the past six months was really more than she had earned in her life.

Zhang Jiayong made a grimace, thinking that he was still a teenager, and the skin of Caifeng's aunt had a headache.

Thinking that he had become acquainted with Zeng Miaoya during this time, he saw that there was no good food, so he dragged Zeng Miaoya to his own study to play.

"There's sugar on the table, and some fruit, and it's warm when you're lying under the covers, and it's colder than usual this year."

After Aunt Caifeng arranged Qu Xiaoqi properly, she went to the kitchen to continue chopping the meat filling, which is a big project, there are many people who eat, and there are many people to chop.

This year, as in previous years, Butcher Zhang went to kill a pig early in the morning, after all, he is a butcher in the village, and finally the villagers are looking forward to the New Year, and they can't let them not eat pork, right?

Some people also said that they wanted to buy some brine water, and Butcher Zhang also sold it.

Qu Xiaoqi can often hear the sound of the outside in the house, because of the relationship between the sow before, now Butcher Zhang is putting the meat outside, and people are willing to freeze and not let the people who buy meat enter their yards.

It was really a snake bite, and I was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

Although the people in the village were uncomfortable with this, they also expressed their understanding, and with Butcher Zhang's body, no one dared to give him a face.

Qu Xiaoqi seemed to hear her uncle's voice in the room, she pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation between the two people, she didn't want to go out now, she thought that Zhang Butcher himself would sell it cheaper to her uncle, and it was the same before.

"Uncle Xiaoqi, come here to buy meat, where do you want to buy meat?" Butcher Zhang smiled at Qu An and warmly entertained him, he was in a very good mood during the New Year, and this year was even worse than in previous years.

Qu An stood in front of the stall, frowning and looking at the meat on the board, this time the meat was not divided well, a large piece was placed next to the sharpened kitchen knife, whoever wants the meat, he will divide the meat for others, it is very easy to talk. They are all people in the village, and when they encounter a lot of purchases, they will touch a small amount, which is something that has not happened before.

"Cut some skinny ones here...... No, too much, well, that's all. ”

Butcher Zhang looked at his less than palm-sized meat, and glanced at Qu An again, as if he was aware of Qu An's embarrassment, he said: "These are not copper coins, take a piece of fat meat back and consume oil, this is not worth much, you are Xiaoqi and her uncle, you don't need to be polite to me." I'll give you those braised pork and braised pigs, and fill a few dishes at home. Is your kid going to participate in that next year...... Imperial examination! Yes, also in the town, right? Give him more supplements, your child is smart and will definitely be able to get in. ”

Qu An originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard Butcher Zhang mention his son, he shut up, how to say that for his son, this face is lost.

took out a few copper coins from his arms, it seemed that there were ten, but Butcher Zhang didn't accept them, and was forcibly stuffed into his arms by Qu An.

After Qu An left, Qu Xiaoqi walked out of the room, looked at Qu An's back, and fell into deep thought.

If it weren't for her aunt who went to the house to make trouble before, she wouldn't be so indifferent to this uncle.

When Butcher Zhang saw Qu Xiaoqi like this, he didn't know what to say, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

He is not a comforter, especially a woman.

At this time, the old woman next to Butcher Zhang's house poked her head out, walked to the stall, took out five copper coins from her bosom, and threw them on the board.

Butcher Zhang and Qu Xiaoqi's colleague Zhou frowned, is this to send a meal?

Seeing that the two of them didn't react, the old woman said in a weird way: "What are you doing in a daze?" Cut the meat for me! And you, an indiscriminate woman, wander around my house without anything, and make a little stinky money My son can't look down on you, My son will be an official after that, and marry everyone's young lady, don't have that big dream of the Spring and Autumn Festival! ”

You're all right with your brain, right? Qu Xiaoqi looked at this old woman suspiciously, and she didn't know what this woman was thinking about, every time she came over, she would be reprimanded, it was inexplicable!
