Chapter 345: The Life of a Small Landlord
Gao saw that this little girl was wearing half-new blue clothes and pants, her face and body were clean, different from those little babies with runny noses, although she was a little tanned, but her round face was peachy, her eyes were black and bright, very cute, and she praised her like this, and her heart softened into a puddle of water.
She hurriedly grabbed Zhao Qing's little hand and asked her name gently, regretting that she didn't bring some dim sum gadgets out, otherwise she would have given some to her, and people would have called her "sister-in-law Changyu", and it would be inappropriate not to give a meeting gift.
Li Changyu smiled and took her hand, walked into the courtyard, and said to Zhao Qing: "They are people, why are you a little baby guarding the door?" Oh, there's more than one person, and there are two 'grown-ups, mie!' β
He couldn't help but joke when he saw the little gourd sitting in the walker and Zhao Feng lying on the rocking bed.
Zhao Qing asked them like a little adult, picked out two benches from the small benches scattered under the peach tree, and put them down eagerly in front of Gao, bent his eyes and smiled: "Sister-in-law Changyu sit." My mother and Sister Yunlan are in the backyard, and Sister Chrysanthemum is still at home and hasn't come. Brother Changyu, why didn't you go to the field to plant seedlings? β
Li Changyu listened for a while, and then said with a wry smile: "Qing'er, Brother Changyu doesn't know how to plant seedlings, just like your brother, he just reads." Come, Qing'er, come and eat mung bean cake, this is made by your sister-in-law Changyu, it's delicious. β
Gao Shi laughed when he heard the "flutter", felt that this little girl was very interesting, and saw that Li Changyu actually brought some snacks to eat, and secretly thanked him for being careful, thoughtful, and helping himself to save face, so he also greeted.
Zhao Qing was very happy when he saw Li Changyu open a pack of dim sum, green and sweet, and stood shyly with a red face twisting the corners of his clothes, looking a little embarrassed when he wanted to eat it.
Li Changyu and Gao hurriedly persuaded her not to be embarrassed, this is a little bit of Changyu's sister-in-law's heart, just come and taste it.
Zhao Qing pursed his lips and nodded with a smile, and was just about to go over to taste it, when he suddenly saw a long string of saliva from the little gourdβhe was teething and drooling a lotβand hurriedly picked up the handkerchief wrapped around his chest to help him wipe it, and his mouth teased him.
Before she could turn around, her younger brother Zhao Feng babbled again.
She hurriedly dropped the gourd and ran to the shaker, her little hand poked under the baby's buttocks, then frowned, lowered her head and rolled her eyes to the little doll, and said, "The diaper that I just changed, this is wet again." Can't you save your mind? I know how to and pee all day long. Look at people's little gourds, you have to take care of the urine for half a day, and you don't need to change diapers. Just you toss people all day long.
While angrily reprimanding, he pulled a clean diaper from the baby's feet, pulled out the soaked diaper, and then held up the baby's buttocks with his hands, stuffed one end of the clean diaper, and put the other end on the little belly, and then wrapped it tightly with a cloth strap. When he was done, he rolled up the wet diaper, ran to the well, threw it into a small wooden basin and scooped some water from the barrel to wash his hands, and then turned his head back, but saw Gao's mouth wide open and looked at her in amazement.
It's no wonder that Gao was surprised that such a big little girl, taking care of two smaller milk babies, that sloppy, small appearance like an adult, it was funny and distressing to watch. The children in her family have been surrounded by a bunch of maids and wives since they were born, and they have never seen such a thing, so they watched it.
Li Changyu was not surprised, and while praising Zhao Qing's ability, he went over to tease the little gourd; Gao pulled Qing'er to talk to her and let her eat snacks.
When Liu Yunlan and Shi Niang came out from the backyard with two large baskets of vegetables, they met the little couple and were busy greeting and greeting.
Followed by Chrysanthemum and Cloud Shadow also came over - Cloud Shadow had to check Chrysanthemum's pulse every morning, so she was mostly with her during this time. This morning, He got up early to go to the market to buy two pairs of sewers and came back, and the two of them cleaned up the sewer before mentioning this courtyard, and when they entered the door, they heard Li Changyu and Shi Niang talking and laughing loudly.
After Li Changyu introduced Chrysanthemum and Gao's to each other, a few people sat down, while helping to pick vegetables, they gossiped with Li Changyu and their family, and tasted the mung bean cake brought by Gao's, and praised endlessly; Yun Ying discussed the method of this pastry with Gao for a while, and muttered for a long time.
Gao saw that these daughters-in-law were gentle and refreshing, and they didn't stare at her like others, Yunying didn't need to say it - she was not a farmer, or Chrysanthemum and Liu Yunlan were also very good. The chrysanthemum is far from the ugly girl she imagined, except for the invisible part of the face towel, the eyebrows and eyes that are exposed are very quiet and expressive - she is not shy at all when she speaks and acts, as if she doesn't care about the leprosy on her face at all.
She watched everyone talk busily, very lively, and not bored, so she took out the needlework and chatted with them with a smile while doing it.
Chrysanthemum and Yunying went to the kitchen to blanch the pig and boil it, turned around and came out to sit down and rest, looking at Li Changyu couldn't help but think jealously, the little landlord is different, look at this kid, when planting seedlings, everyone is so busy that their feet don't touch the ground, even her pot-bellied wife and Zhao Qing, a five-year-old little girl, are not idle, he is good, take his daughter-in-law to play, it is really more human than human, angry people!
It seems that it really can't be compared. In the past, the people in Qingnan Village were the same farming, but now there is a landlord and gentry, who does not have to pay taxes, and is waiting for someone to send food to the door, so if it develops, the gap between the rich and the poor will naturally become wider and wider, but she wants to think so, but she is not willing to bother to earn that wealth, she just wants to live this simple but not poor life, and does not want to make life too complicated.
Li Changyu was furious by her, and couldn't help asking, "Chrysanthemum, I don't owe you money, do I?" Why are you staring at me so bitterly and hatefully? β
Chrysanthemum helped her sister-in-law pick vegetables and said, "I'm jealous of you!" β
Yun Ying laughed when he heard this; Gao looked at Chrysanthemum inexplicably, wondering why she was jealous of her husband.
Li Changyu understood what Chrysanthemum meant, and knew that she was joking, but he only smiled and didn't answer.
Chrysanthemum asked, "Why don't you go to the seedling field and have a look?" Yesterday, Huaizi was talking to my brother about you, saying that you still sent them a meal. β
Li Changyu shook his head like a rattle: "I won't go." The last time they cut rice, I ran to talk to them, but I asked Liu Sanshun to pull me down the field, and forced me to cut the rice twice, but my butt hurt so much that I couldn't sleep at night. These guys are the most unsympathetic, if I go now, I won't be forced to go to the field and plant seedlings?"
Everyone laughed.
Gao's eyes widened in surprise, and Li Changyu explained to her with a smile, saying that these friends from the same village deliberately manipulated him.
Chrysanthemum saw that Gao's demeanor was very demure and dignified, even if she wore cloth clothes, she looked like a lady, but she didn't know why she had to dress up so simply, sitting here and listening to their gossip.
was looking at her, and suddenly saw her looking up at herself, so she smiled and asked, "Wan'er, you just came here, and you're not used to it, are you?" If you have time, talk to Dr. Yun, she doesn't know how to do farm work, and you are not afraid of delaying things when you talk together. β
When Gao saw her talking to him, he responded with a smile, saying that he had come to disturb them.
Yun Ying said to Chrysanthemum unconvinced: "It seems that you can do a lot of work, aren't you just washing and cooking?" I will do these too. It's just planting vegetables and hoeing grass, and now I know a little bit about it. I'm going to open a medicine field, plant some common herbs, and grow some vegetables by the way. Chrysanthemum, can you help me get a piece of land? β
Since she lived here with peace of mind, she had to make a plan for the future, and Chrysanthemum also said that when the seedlings were planted and the wheat was finished, she would help her and her brother build a small courtyard, and she was very happy to hear it, so she thought of planting herbs again.
Chrysanthemum listened to it and twitched in her heart: Get a piece of land? The land costs money. This guy who doesn't know the hardships of life would definitely not think of this. Forget it, for the sake of that elixir, I don't care about this.
She agreed, "Okay." But growing medicinal herbs is very strict with the land, right? We don't understand this either, so let's go back and ask Brother Huaizi to take you to my house to have a few plots of land, and see where it is suitable, you can pick one. You don't have to grow vegetables. You are a doctor, and you still said that growing medicinal herbs in the past, isn't it too wasteful to grow vegetables? I'd rather grow your own vegetables and give them to you to eat, so that you can concentrate on your own business. β
Gao couldn't help but look at her twice when he heard this, Li Changyu praised Chrysanthemum for being thoughtful, and even Shi Niang enthusiastically said to Yun Ying that she didn't need to grow vegetables, and she would send vegetables to her in the future, etc., only Yun Ying looked at Chrysanthemum vigilantly - she had been with her for a few days, and knew that she was by no means such a casual person, and there must be something to do when she said this.
