In the afternoon of the next day, Qin He and Liu Mei swaggered back to Chenhui Village with their things, many people saw it and asked questions, and Liu Mei also answered generously.

This is her first contact with the villagers, and the effect is not bad, there are two people, compared with her, one is Zeng Rou, and the other is Yunqing.

These two are educated youths, and they are also the kind that are not very gregarious with the people in the village, Zeng Rou gave birth to a son before, and now she is pregnant again, Yunqing gave birth to a girl last year, plus Liu Mei, who is now pregnant, although the topic of the three of them always revolves around the child's rearing, but there are always endless words.

Especially as the child grows up little by little, in the process of raising the child, there will be a lot of interesting things, which is a mother, when it comes to these things, it is natural to talk endlessly.

When the two went home, Qin Xi happened to come back with firewood on his back, so he naturally saw what they were holding in his hands, but he didn't care about it, the Qin family was willing to support the little couple, that was their business, and it had nothing to do with her.

Besides, with her understanding of Liu Qin's person, it's okay to leak some things sporadically, but if she really gives too much, she will feel distressed and won't be willing.

She is more willing to spend money on her mother's family than her own and disliked children, and she is much more amiable to her nephew than her own son and daughter.

Behind Qin Xi, followed by Xiao Wanyao, her nutrition has kept up during this time, and her complexion has looked better, but she still hasn't grown, she looks short and short, and she is not cute, she is still thin and thin, giving people the urge to feed her fat.

Although Wan Yao is young, but the work is still very neat, since the injury on her foot is healed, usually work is rushed to do, and it is a little bit of strength, the calluses on her hands and feet, showing that she is not a flower in a greenhouse, she is a weed that can withstand the cold and heat, rooted in the ground, and her vitality is very tenacious.

The firewood on the two of them was wet, and they needed to be spread out and dried for a long time, and they could only burn when they were almost dry.

Although there is still firewood at home, but during this time, the rain has been falling non-stop, looking at the increasingly decreasing firewood stacks at home, I am anxious!

Today the weather is better, although there is some drizzle in the morning, but it stops at noon, and many people in the village go into the forest to collect firewood, just like them.

No one has been collecting firewood for more than 20 days in the forest, the resources in it are quite rich, and everyone's harvest is okay, at least it is easier to pick up a basket of things than before, and they don't dislike the dead branches and leaves, so they all picked them up and brought them home.

Everyone's enthusiasm is very high, especially those who don't have a lot of firewood reserves at home, and they can't wait to stay in the forest all day today.

Liu Mei saw Qin Xi and them coming back with firewood, and as soon as she went home, she was wondering if the two of them would also go to the forest to go around and come back with some firewood.

Although it was already more than three o'clock and almost four o'clock, it was still more than two hours before it got dark, after all, it was summer, and it was late to get dark.

When she told Qin He about her thoughts, she was directly rejected by Qin He.

"Since yesterday, the two of us haven't stopped, even our hearts are carried, today I finally came back from the city, you have to rest."

"I don't care, but you're different, you're pregnant, and you can't travel for a long time."

"Besides, the firewood in the forest is all wet, and it can't be burned when you pick it up, what's the use, I think the weather is good today, maybe the sun will come out tomorrow, or go again tomorrow!"

There is still firewood at home, this kind of trivial matter that is not a fire to burn his eyebrows, Qin He naturally wants to drag it out, although he hasn't done anything in the past two days, but he just feels very tired.

After all, he knew that the home in the city was no longer his home, and now that he was back at that home, he had the feeling that he was a guest, and his parents and brothers were very unfamiliar and could never go back.

Liu Mei thought about it, it was really not worth arguing with Qin He for such a trivial matter, so she nodded and agreed.

The husband and wife rested at home for more than two hours very comfortably, and made a meal of fine food in the evening.

The next day, instead of the rain as Qin He thought, the sky was clear, but it was a foggy light rain, although the scenery of Chen Hui Village was good, but no one had the heart to appreciate it.

At this time, as long as you are not blind, you can see that this year is a year of famine, but no one knows how serious it is, how much crop production will be reduced, and how big the impact will be.

Qin Xi felt that the more than 100 catties of food at home were not safe enough to insure herself, so the next day, she braved the light rain and went to the black market in the county with her brother.

When I left, it was early in the morning, and when I returned, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the rain was falling intermittently, and it didn't stop for half an hour at most, and then it began to fall again, and the weather was the most annoying.

On the country road, the slippery mud road is enough for many people to make a mistake here, so on rainy days, the villagers rarely go out, and they all nest at home and wait for the rain to stop.

The two of them were wearing rubber shoes under their feet, and they walked fairly steadily along the way, but their bodies were inevitably wet by the rain, and the eighty catties of grain they bought back were wrapped in oiled paper and not wet at all.

As soon as they returned, the brother and sister took a hot bath in salt water, changed their clothes, washed them casually, and hung them in a straw shed to bake.

This kind of day, clothes are the easiest to get wet, not to mention, just the grass that rabbits eat, you need to cut it every day, if you don't use fire to dry, you can only wear wet clothes every day, when the time comes, a cold is inevitable.

In the evening, Qin Xi stewed pork rib soup, and there was no shortage of ginger in it.

There are not many pork ribs, but the soup is delicious, and it is eaten with wild vegetables, and it tastes very good.

The meat next door was hungry for Qinhe Liu Mei, but the two of them also talked about it behind closed doors, complaining and complaining, and on the bright side, they would never dare to make any dissatisfied remarks in front of Qinjiang and Qinxi.

In Liu Mei's opinion, the meat eaten next door was scraped from Qin He's body, which was naturally hateful, and she was still pregnant with the golden grandson of the old Qin family, this Qin Xi didn't have any eyesight, so she made meat to eat, and she didn't know how to come to her side, so that she could give the child in her belly and supplement nutrition.

Qin He didn't bother to explain these things to her, so she misunderstood, the firewood at home will run out in two days, this is a critical matter, tomorrow, tomorrow he must go to the mountains to pick up firewood and cut branches, otherwise the family will even run out of firewood for cooking.
