Every once or two months, Wang Qingyuan will take advantage of the night to come back to see Qi Ning.

The two of them became more and more affectionate, and several times Qi Ning was hooked by Wang Qingyuan and couldn't hold it, and he stopped him from pulling his clothes, he said that he would wait until the wedding night to give her an official name.

In fact, Qi Ning saw a lot of unmarried cohabitants, and he was not very conservative and had to wait until that day, but when he looked at Wang Qingyuan, who was holding a tent with a red face, he couldn't help but laugh evilly, and even deliberately rubbed him.

Xiao Gongzi's family has a big business, so he runs everywhere, and when he comes to Qing'an City, he will find an excuse to come over to see Qi Ning and have a meal. He knew that his identity could not marry Qi Ning as the main room, and Qi Ning was not a concubine who could be a concubine, so every time he suppressed the discomfort in his heart, deliberately made a riotous appearance, and left with Qi Ning after a while. But the noble boy never showed up again.

After lunch that day, Qi Ning sat under the newly built grape trellis in the yard, looking at the account book, and now after closing every night, Han Dong handed over the day's turnover and the paper for keeping accounts to Qi Ning. Qi Ning counted it the next day, nailed together every month, and reading the account book has become Qi Ning's biggest hobby.

Han Dong came in and said, "Yayu has eaten in front and wants to see you." ”

"Invite him in."

Han Dong hurriedly went back and led the tooth in before going to the front.

"Uncle, is there something wrong with you?"

Yayu picked his teeth with his tongue before saying, "Didn't the girl say that she wanted to buy a small yard, I don't know if I bought it?" ”

"Oh." Qi Ning remembered that he had originally planned to get a hiding place for Wang Qingyuan, but when he found the cellar, he forgot about it, and Wang Qingyuan also said that he didn't need it.

"The person who wants to buy a house has already left, and I don't want to think about it for the time being, and I still bother my uncle to run away." Qi Ning made him a cup of tea and handed it to the table in front of him.

"I didn't run on purpose, I came to eat roast duck with a few friends at noon. I just thought about asking by the way. ”

"Thank you uncle for taking care of the shop, I will go to you if I need it in the future."

"Then the girl is busy, I'll go first." Yayu stood up and was about to leave, Qi Ning suddenly remembered that Wang Qingyuan said that she would buy a Zhuangzi and buy land, and hurriedly called Yayu: "Uncle, wait a minute." ”

"Is the girl okay?"

"I wonder if there is a piece of land in the vicinity?"

"The girl asked coincidentally, I just took a Zhuangzi to resell the day before yesterday, and it is seven or eight miles northwest of the city, which is a 200 acres of paddy fields, 40 acres of dry land, and a bamboo mountain behind. It can be sold separately. He sat down in a hurry.

"Did the original owner grow these lands himself, or did he give them tenants?" Qi Ning doesn't know anything about farming.

"These belong to Zhujia Village, Zhu landlords, and most of them are tenanted to the people in the village to plant, and they collect some rent every year." Zhujia Village is the village of Wu's mother-in-law.

"Why sell it?"

"The landlord of Nazhu is old and has no sons, and he is afraid that the clansmen will worry about his family property, so he wants to sell his land and go to Fucheng to join his daughter."

"Oh, I just don't know if it's expensive?"

"The paddy field is fifteen taels and one mu, and the dry land is ten taels of silver. There are more than 100 acres in Zhushan asking for 300 taels, and the river is under the mountain, which leads to the canal, and it is very convenient to water the ground. If you want to, I'll take you tomorrow. ”

"That's good, seeing is believing, I'll bother Uncle to take me to see it tomorrow."

"I'll pick up the girl tomorrow morning, and I'll say goodbye first."

Qi Ning hurriedly followed and sent it to the store: "Wrap a pack of braised duck wings for the uncle and take it back to the child to eat." Han Dong got the order, and hurriedly wrapped a few duck wings and handed them to Ya Yu.

Ya Yu politely gave in a few words, burped and left.

In a trance, Qi Ning seemed to hear someone calling Han Dong's original name.

Looking out of the door, a woman about thirty-five or sixteen years old wearing a coarse cloth dress stood at the door, only to see her a jujube red cloth belt tied around her waist, and a blue patched cloth skirt underneath, looking at Han Dong's eyes full of resentment and disgust, with a mean face.

Han Dong was wiping the table, and when he got up, he snorted angrily: "What are you doing here?" Get out. ”

"Hey, this is a mixed up and doesn't recognize poor relatives, what do you say I'm here for, I'm your own aunt, I want to come who can stop me. A few years ago, your uncle went up the mountain to chop wood, and was injured by a bear, and a hunter saved him, and now his leg is broken, and he can't do anything, and we are all starving to death, but you are living a good life here, and you are not a concubine for a rich man. Take out the money on me, and I'll go back to buy medicine for your uncle." As she spoke, the woman tore Handong's clothes. Han Dong hasn't been able to do it this year, and this woman is talking nonsense without covering it.

"Stop." Qi Ning lifted her away: "Where did the crazy woman come from, dare to go wild here." ”

"Who are you, it's none of your business here, you go away, my mother is here to find my niece." The woman said as she stood up and tore Han Dong again.

Qi Ning kicked her out: "Who is your niece?" If you are presumptuous, I will call the servants. ”

"I'm sorry, it's useless for anyone to come, this is my niece, I'm her aunt." The woman crossed her waist and spat on her mouth. She heard that Handong's family is doing well now, and she came to Qing'an in a carriage yesterday, and she has been asking if she has only found it now, where is she willing to give up.

"What's going on with Handong?"

Qi Ning just asked, Tie Niu just came out, and looked at the woman angrily pointing and letting go: "You instigated grandparents to drive us out, and you still have the face." ”

"Girl." Han Dong looked at Qi Ning with a shudder, "She is my second aunt, she wanted to sell us to my second uncle last year, and my mother didn't agree." She instigated my grandparents to kick us out, we were all dying of hunger, my mother had no choice but to sell my sister to someone else as a house, and then asked for a long time before going to the tooth shop, fortunately the girl kindly took us in. Otherwise, we would have starved to death. Han Dong cried as he spoke.

"Tie Niu, go and call your mother. Ask her what she means. "After all, people are close relatives, and Qi Ning is not good at making claims.

Zhao listened to Tie Niu's words, rushed out with a rolling pin, and saw that the woman was beaten without saying a word, Han Dong and Tie Niu also rushed up to tear up, and the woman hysterically resisted and scolded.

Afraid of killing people, Qi Ning stopped them.

The woman sat down on the ground and scolded with snot and tears: "Come on, someone, you have killed someone." Now that people are gaining power, my poor relatives don't even drink saliva when they come to the door, and they will be beaten without saying a good word......"

"Shut up." Qi Ning screamed violently, and the woman was so frightened that she stopped with a hiccup. The Zhao family was also stunned, Qi Ning rarely spoke loudly.

"I don't care what kind of relatives you are or not, they are all people I bought, and they have entered the file in the yamen, and they have nothing to do with the original family, if you dare to affect my business, I will let the yasmen arrest you."

The woman looked at Qi Ning with murderous intent, and couldn't help but shudder: "You bought it?" They're your minions now? I don't believe it. ”

"Believe it or not, their deeds of sale are in my possession." Qi Ning sat on the chair and looked coldly at the snotty woman, turned his head and ordered Tie Niu: "Tie Niu, you go to the yamen and tell Master Zhou that someone has come to me to make trouble, and ask him to send a few people over." ”

When Tie Niu heard that he was about to go, the woman grabbed his leg and said to Qi Ning, "Then give me the money from their sale, and I'll leave." ”

"Hehe, when you get to the yamen, you can ask the county lord, dare to come to my store to make trouble, don't inquire first, it's light to beat you today." Qi Ning sneered and looked at the woman sitting on the ground.

The woman was already a little scared when she heard that Qi Ning knew the master of the Yamen, but now seeing that Qi Ning was not in a hurry, she estimated that she was not easy to mess with, so she hurriedly stood up and patted her buttocks: "Phew, you wait for me." "I ran away as soon as I smoked it.

Qi Ning turned around and saw Qi Zhong holding a rag and holding his hands and looking at it like that, his heart couldn't help but feel cold, these days Qi Ning observed him, people are shrewd and sweet, but they are slippery, as soon as Qi Ning comes, he will keep working, Qi Ning will grind foreign workers when he is not there, and often point to the east and west to call the iron bull to them.

"Alright, let's get busy. If she comes again, you won't want to see her, just don't hit her too hard. ”

After speaking, Qi Ning went out and wanted to go to the Wu family to inquire about the affairs of Zhujia Village.

Passing by the noodle shop, a wave of heat gushed out and Qi Ning almost couldn't get up, the two men of the noodle shop were sweating profusely, and Qi Ning greeted enthusiastically: "Miss Qi is not busy?" Come in and eat a bowl of noodles. ”

"Thanks, I've eaten. Why is it so hot in your house? ”

"There's no way, you have to cook noodles when you come to eat, the stove is in the house, why don't you just get hotter."

"Uncle, what kind of noodles are you selling?"

"It's just rolling noodles by yourself, putting some eggs and marinated vegetables and vegetables, and if you want to be cheap, give Shangyang spring noodles." The elderly father rubbed the face on his hands and said honestly.

"How's business?"

"It's okay in the morning, it's too hot at noon, and there are few people who come to eat."

"It's so hot in your house, who dares to come in."

"What then? Why don't the girl tell the Wu brothers and let me set up a stove in the yard? ”

"You can discuss this yourself, I said that it is not appropriate. But now that it's hot, you can make cold noodles, remove the stove and the board, and put two more tables, so that there are more people sitting in the room, and the room is not hot. ”

"In fact, some guests also need cold water now, so I use well water to Taotao."

"Doesn't your family live in the alley, cook the noodles before dawn every day, pass them with cold water a few times, and then bring them over, and I will teach you how to make a dish."

"Girl, please come in." The old man said and let Qi Ning.

"I don't go in, I'll sweat for a while, the dish code of cold noodles is very simple, burn the hot oil, put the green onions, ginger and garlic in the pot, put the minced meat, stir-fry and change color, put the diced mushrooms and chopped fungus, fry them together for a while, and then pour some soy sauce, put the bean paste and boil for a while. This meat sauce can be used for hot and cold noodles, you can cut some cucumber shreds, coriander, add a little garlic, and put some chili oil if you like spicy food. Pack you delicious. ”

"What is a shiitake mushroom?"

"Huh! It's a mushroom, and you can put some soaked diced mushrooms. ”

"Isn't that it?" The old man said and took out a small dried shiitake mushroom.

"Yes. You can do it, if you can't do it, come and ask me. After Qi Ning finished speaking, he went to the grocery store.
