Chapter 1354: General, I'll Help You Feed Your Family (50)
With the basket in hand, the mason Xue Pinggui began to roll up his sleeves and go into battle with the basket to dig yellow mud in the back mountain. Qian Qian actually didn't know if this thing would be a mason's job, in short, she thought that building walls and repairing kangs and roofs should also be skilled workers, if Xue Pinggui was really not competent, she would be too late to hire someone in the city.
I don't care about the money at home, I borrowed a basket early in the morning, and she went down to the river with a wooden basin to do laundry, and she had to rush to wash all the clothes that Mama Liu handed over to her within a day, and she had to go to the city tomorrow to go to the prime minister's house to do an errand, and Qian Qian didn't have much effort to delay.
Because there are a lot of clothes, so Qian Qian went to the river earlier, she washed half of the laundry, and the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law in the village came over one after another, and the little daughter-in-law of the village chief still walked among the people like stars holding the moon, and took the initiative to smile and say hello when she saw Qian Qian.
The village chief's daughter-in-law had a good attitude towards Qian Qian, and the other village women who were jealous of Qian Qian's pulling two carts of green bricks home originally wanted to say a few sour words, but they had to choke back when they saw this. But this is not the point, it should be said that the focus of these big girls and little daughters-in-law is no longer the shallow money that they suddenly got rich and pulled the green bricks home, and their eyes are now shining and discussing another thing - who is the beautiful young man who went to the village well to fetch water just now?
Qian Qian: ??? Strange pretty lad?? How can there be a sense of foreboding......
The curious inquiring of no one was seen, the eager gossip of the man at the well, and the cheerful gossip of a group of women talking about the beautiful young man one by one, and the noise was almost more lively than a meeting of eighteen crows.
"Where is that exaggerated." A few village women who had not seen anyone expressed disbelief: "It's really like you said, how could you come to a small place like ours when you are so handsome that there is nothing in the sky and no in the earth?" ”
"I haven't seen it before." Several village women replied: "It's a fresh face, I'm afraid it's not a relative of someone's family, who came to string relatives, right?" Such a handsome young man, I don't know if I'm married? ”
"What? Fall in love with someone's family? The other people ate and laughed, and laughed at the person who spoke: "Even if you don't have a wife, you can't take your turn, look at your appearance, let's honestly mess with the old man in the family!" ”
"What's all the nonsense in your mouth?" The previous village woman took off one of the shoes on her feet and raised her head to beat someone: "Ask if it's a marriage, what's wrong?" Don't let me worry about it, and don't let me help others worry about it? My cousin and niece at home have just decided to marry, and at this age, she is just the right match for that young man, and it is the best match made in heaven. ”
"Ahh Another village woman pursed her lips disdainfully: "Pillar mother, you are embarrassed to say this, what a match made in heaven, your cousin and niece are five big and three thick, and the young men in our village don't look down on it, and they are a match made in heaven with others, why is your skin so thick?" ”
"Can't look down on my cousin and niece, can you still look down on you, a half-wife? What's wrong with my cousin's niece? That figure looks like it's easy to raise! ”
"This is to see the face of the handsome young man, how old are you, who doesn't know what virtue your cousin niece has, she is lazy and ugly, and such a girl's family is embarrassed to marry out and pit people?"
"No matter what, it's better than you, an old pious woman!"
"Who are you scolding? Look, the old lady doesn't teach you the rules well! ”
……
Qian Qian, who was washing clothes on the side, couldn't help but roll his eyes. The mysterious handsome young man who fetched water by the well sounded like Xue Pinggui. The male protagonist is really a scourge! As soon as he showed his face, he had the ability to stir up the village and make the chickens and dogs restless, and several village women were eager to tear it up for him, if he took his daughter-in-law to settle in Wujiapo for a long time in the future, it would not necessarily cause any strange incidents!
Alas! Annoying! Qian Qian was too lazy to listen to people's quarrels, so he moved to the side with his wooden basin, sped up the speed of washing clothes, and quickly evacuated the scene with the basin after washing the clothes.
When Qian Qian went home, Xue Pinggui was at home and mud, it seemed that there were rules and regulations, yellow mud mixed with water, plus chopped straw, and a thick layer of green bricks was smeared, and it was strong.
"Did you just go to the village to fetch water by yourself?" Qian Qian asked as soon as he saw him.
"yes?" Xue Pinggui raised his head and nodded at her with a confused expression: "Did you see me?" Didn't you go up to the river to do laundry? ”
"Do you need me to see it with my own eyes?" Qian Qian couldn't help but complain: "I said that you should go to the village less if you have nothing to do, you didn't let people find out that you live here, right?" ”
"What's wrong with getting water?" Xue Pinggui glanced at Qian Qian with a smile: "The sky can't fall again, I work in your house, shouldn't you, the master, take care of food and housing, even if someone finds out that I live with you?" ”
"Heh......" Qian Qian pouted at Xue Pinggui: "If you don't listen, then you can pray for more blessings!" I can tell you, the pillar of the village is thinking about kissing you! Zhuzi's mother said, her cousin and niece are a match made in heaven, and I don't care if a matchmaker comes to the door. ”
"Say hello to me?" Xue Pinggui showed a look of surprise on his face: "She doesn't know what kind of kiss I have to say?" ”
"If you don't obey and go to the village all day long, someone will naturally come up to 'know' you." Qian Qian raised his eyebrows and replied indifferently: "I know, even if I know you, even if you are an acquaintance, it is natural for you to tell you about your relatives." Don't blame me for not reminding you, I won't care about you then. ”
It was about that Qian Qian's warning was really useful, or maybe Xue Pinggui picked up a large tank of water in one breath and didn't need to go out again, anyway, for the remaining half a day, Qian Qian didn't see him go out and sway, and honestly squatted on the roof with a layer of thatch and tiles to repair the roof. In view of his good performance and hard physical work, Qian Qian rarely made millet rice at night, accompanied by roast chicken that he didn't eat the day before, which was a reward for hard work.
Xue Pinggui worked for a day, and after applying with Qian Qian, he boiled water in a cauldron, took a bath with Qian Qian's bath bucket, and then sat on the lame wooden stool next to the stove with a water vapor.
Qian Qian's family doesn't even have a decent dining table, and she usually eats by the stove, so she can't make do more, but she still comforts herself to eat warmly like this.
When Xue Pinggui was about to eat, Qian Qian was collecting clothes, he stared at the oiled paper bag that was opened on the stove by himself, reached out and tore the roast chicken in the oily paper bag, left the chicken breasts and chicken legs, and carried the back bones and chicken wings to his bowl. It's better for him to do this kind of troublesome thing like gnawing bones, Xue Pinggui thought silently, and didn't think carefully why he did this.
