Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Call from the Imperial Capital
Time slipped away little by little, time passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival in Guanwai Village again, and the osmanthus flowers were already full of fragrance.
It has been eight months since Qin Sihua came back, and this period of time is the most stable and down-to-earth period of time for her. In the past six months alone, I have made a lot of money, and occasionally I go out to pick up leaks, and my life is very comfortable.
In the autumn season, I am going to start making osmanthus cakes again, and the cooperation with the guest house continues, and now it is also very stable, no, Qin Sihua called Qin Siqin and Qin Sishu to go to the mountain to pick osmanthus together.
There are several very sweet osmanthus trees on the mountain, unlike the others, Qin Sihua went out early, and everyone in the village is not uncommon, but it is better to avoid trouble and go early to start first.
When the osmanthus is made into osmanthus sauce, it can be supplied to the osmanthus in the next year.
"Brother Shouzheng, why didn't you come along, a few days ago he said that he wanted to get a few logs, and said that he took on a few more jobs." Qin Sishu knew that Gu Shouzheng was doing some carpentry work in private, and he was selling well, which made him a little envious.
But I can't envy it, not everyone has that craft, such a fine thing, if you don't have a little brain, you can't get it.
"Yes, I originally wanted to be together, but Uncle Gu came back before, and he sent him to class today." Qin Sihua didn't say it so clearly, after all, this was Gu Shouzheng's private matter, Gu Renmei asked him to go to the mine because Fu Xiuwen, who was Gu Shouzheng's father, asked to talk to Gu Shouzheng.
Gu Renmei came back for this matter, but she was still cautious when she said it, Gu Shouzheng didn't want to embarrass Gu Renmei, so she thought about it and followed, she couldn't let the other side think that Gu Renmei was here to stop her.
And now it's September, and he vaguely knows in his heart that maybe Fu Xiuwen wants to remind him of something. It just so happens that he needs such an opportunity to bring this matter to the table, and the sooner he starts systematic review, the sooner everyone will be sure.
"Then Siqin and I can help you, Xiao Si is fortunate to go and pick up beans, otherwise you must follow. My aunt said I'll help you when I'm done with the work in hand, but I said no, let her help our mother collect beans. ”
The brothers and sisters are very fast, the work of these days is to pick osmanthus, after all, the flowering period is only a few days, if it rains, the sun will wither, so you can't make osmanthus sauce.
"Let's hurry up, Sihua and I have laid out the cloth, you go and beat it." Qin Siqin had already taken out the clean cloth and was ready to pick up the osmanthus flowers that had fallen from the book with Qin Sihua.
Qin Sishu did not hesitate, and soon took the branch and began to beat, this tree is not very old, it is just drizzle, but the two big trees have not fully bloomed, and there are still many immature buds that have not bloomed, so they can only harvest this tree first.
"Hey, sister. When will the little brother come to propose? That's five and a half months. Qin Sihua teased Qin Siqin.
"He has to go and handle the handover, he used to say that he was going to retire from the army, but now he doesn't have to retire, and it's good to be transferred to logistics. At least I can take care of my family when the time comes. ”
Qin Siqin is a calm-minded person, Fu Bing can be a good military wife when she is a soldier, Fu Bing goes to logistics, she doesn't feel sorry, at least her legs are good, she can still have a job, and she doesn't have to bother going to the factory.
Qin Sihua nodded, what she admired most was her sister, who was content and happy!
The brothers and sisters picked up a big basket and walked a little further into the mountains, Qin Sihua was afraid that his luck against the sky would attract something, so he urged Qin Sishu to hurry home.
In this way, he also picked up a pheasant and a rabbit halfway, Qin Sishu and Qin Siqin were accustomed to it, and the luck of Sihua was recognized by the whole family.
When he got home, Sihua went to make osmanthus sauce, and Sishu went to the field to help.
Siqin began to make lunch, it was the time of the autumn harvest, and she had to cook and wait for her parents to come back to eat, but before the meal was ready, Gu Shouzheng came in as soon as the door rang.
"Siqin, your urgent telegram met the postman at the entrance of the village, it seems that it is from the imperial capital." Gu Shouzheng handed the telegram in his hand to Qin Siqin, Qin Siqin wiped his hands and took it and began to read it.
Gu Shouzheng went to the backyard to find Sihua who was drying osmanthus flowers, and quietly blindfolded her.
"Don't make a fuss, you're scaring me, I'm picking bugs here!" There were insects in the osmanthus flowers, Qin Si drew a rough pick-up, and then started to do it.
"I'll help you." Gu Shouzheng washed his hands and helped, the insects were very small, he thought of a way to sift them with a sieve, but Qin Sihua didn't expect it, and the cooperation between the two ended soon.
"Sihua, the college entrance examination is indeed going to resume, and it is estimated that Fu Bing's telegram also means that. What he said today was to let me plan ahead, I guess it was a meeting, and he was well-informed. ”
"That's good, finally I can get straight to the point! I'm suffocating. Qin Sihua breathed a sigh of relief, sometimes the secret was kept for too long, and it was also a bit tortured.
"Well, it's going to be a good day in the future. It's going to get better and better! Gu Shouzheng was also happy, he habitually touched Qin Sihua's hair, but when he withdrew his hand, Qin Sihua accidentally saw the red line on his palm.
She didn't react at the time, and happily pulled Gu Shouzheng to tell Qin Siqin about it.
"Sister! Sister! Come, come, I'll tell you something! As soon as Qin Sihua said Gu Shouzheng's words, Qin Siqin also laughed.
"Look at Fu Bing's telegram, it seems to mean the same thing to you, he said that he wanted to buy us books and come back."
Qin Sihua didn't shirk it, everyone could see the telegram, naturally it was not a secret, take it and see that the book had been sent out, so that Qin Siqin would pay attention to it. The rest is to say hello every day, and I think there are letters in the book.
"That's great! The eldest brother is probably very happy, and he will surprise him in a while! Brother also plans to take the test? ”
"I don't know what I think, I'll know when the letter comes, if the eldest brother knows, he doesn't know how happy he can be!" The joy on Qin Siqin's face was beyond words, this news was so exciting!
"Big brother, I'm afraid I'm going to cry!" Qin Sihua and Qin Siqin looked at each other and smiled, the eldest brother's heart disease was that he failed to recommend him to college, but the eldest brother's grades were very good.
Sure enough, as soon as Qin Sishu heard the news, he stood up suddenly, and ran into the house without saying a word while eating.
"Sishu...... Aren't you so happy? Miao Xiu also knew that what happened back then hit him a lot, and when she heard about it, she was also very happy.
"I'll take a look, it's okay, you eat first." Qin Changsheng put down the dry food and followed.
Everyone else was a little worried, afraid that Qin Sishu would remember what happened before, but they didn't expect that Qin Sishu would come back before Qin Changsheng walked out of the house, his face was red, and he cried when he saw it.
"Are you alright?" Qin Changsheng looked at Qin Sishu's face and asked cautiously.
"It's okay, I'm so happy. Eat and eat, and after eating, we will go to read a book, Siqin's mathematics is still a little weak, Si Hua you are too serious, you have to do some problems. Shouzheng, you call it upright, let's all discuss it! ”
Qin Sishu quickly made a decision, which made the food in Sihua and Siqin's hands a little unfragrant, and the next period of time must be high-pressure, but they are also ready to make the storm more violent!
