At dawn the next day, Shen Qingqing was awakened by the laughter outside the courtyard. She walked to the window and saw a large group of villagers sitting in the courtyard. She woke up immediately, dressed and combed her hair quickly.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Meng Qixue lying next to the door with a messy chicken coop on her head and yawning. Shen Qingqing rubbed her head and asked, "Why did you get up so early today?"
"There are a lot of people outside. I can't sleep. If I sleep again, others will laugh at me for being a lazy person." Meng Qixue rubbed her clothes and asked softly: "Mom, is it okay for the hair flower my grandpa bought for you yesterday?
Can you lend me two Daidai?"
"Okay, you come in and choose for yourself, wear whichever one you like."
She couldn't wear it anyway.
Shen Qingqing took her hand and walked to the dressing table, untied the small cloth bag and pushed it in front of her, "It's all here, choose."
After saying that, he smoothed her messy hair with his hands, picked up the comb and started to tie her braids. Halfway through, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the gloomy look between her eyebrows and stopped for a moment.
Meng Qixue shook her head and turned to call her: "Mom, why don't you move?"
Shen Qingqing came back to her senses and smiled at her, "You choose first. Mom has something to do. I'll comb your hair later."
She put the comb on the dressing table, turned around, walked to the window, and made a divination with her fingers. The bad divination indicated that there would be a disaster of imprisonment. It was easy to decipher, but if you let nature take its course, you would be able to have a good life, thus changing the next few decades.
fate.
This hexagram makes people very embarrassed.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Qingqing decided to hand over the choice to Meng Qixue, "Xue Bao, I have a question for you. If there is an opportunity to make a lot of money in front of you, but you have to endure some hardships to get it, would you be willing?
Work hard for this?"
Meng Qixue nodded without hesitation, "Of course I am willing! What's the point of suffering a little for a small amount of money? I'm willing to eat stinky daddy!"
Shen Qingqing was speechless, but there was no need to fight so hard.
She took out a piece of peace talisman from the bag, folded it a few times and stuffed it into the purse around Meng Qixue's waist, and said: "Yesterday, when I went to buy clothes, I met your partner. He said that the clothes were ready.
Please come over and have a look, but our family has to build a house to entertain guests today, and my mother can’t spare time to accompany you, so why don’t you go by yourself?”
"Of course! I am the big boss now, so I should do my own thing." Meng Qixue, who knew nothing about the future, was still picking out velvet flowers with great interest, and finally selected two big red velvet flowers and handed them to her.
Shen Qingqing, "I've made my choice. Mom, come and help me comb my hair!"
Shen Qingqing returned to the dressing table and reminded her while combing her hair: "You can take Uncle Yuan's oxcart there later. I will lend you Hongying for a day, and you two can concentrate on selling clothes. If anything unexpected happens,
Don't be afraid, don't cry, just wait for your mother to come and save you."
Meng Qixue nodded obediently, "Well, I will definitely be obedient and not let my mother worry."
Shen Qingqing touched her cheek, smiled and said nothing.
By the time they were combing their braids, the other three boys were fully dressed and were sitting in front of the corridor having breakfast with bowls in their hands.
Breakfast consists of egg pancakes and millet pumpkin porridge, both made by Meng Yuan. Recently, he has been getting up early every day to cook, and his skills in making pancakes and porridge have become more and more proficient. The meals he cooks are no worse than the breakfast stalls in town.
After breakfast, she happened to see Meng Yuanyuan driving an ox cart passing by his house. Shen Qingqing quickly stopped him, explained the reason, and hugged Meng Qixue into the ox cart.
Meng Qixue lay beside the car and waved excitedly to her: "Mom, I'm leaving. I'll buy you beautiful clothes when I make a lot of money when I come back!"
Shen Qingqing also waved her hand twice and warned her again uneasily: "You must remember, no matter what happens, don't be afraid, your mother is here!"
Meng Qixue replied crisply: "I know, as long as my mother is here, I am not afraid of anything!"
After sending the person away, Shen Qingqing suppressed her smile and turned her head to look at Hongying, "Don't fight hard when unexpected situations arise. Reserve your strength and come back in time to bring in reinforcements."
Hongying was confused by her incomprehensible words, "Are you caring about me? Qingqing, you actually care about me?! The sun doesn't come out in the west today, right?"
Hongying rubbed her body happily, but was pushed away by her before she could reach out her arm, "Stop being so sentimental, I want you to keep an eye on Xuebao. She has been unlucky these two days, so be more careful."
"Oh, I understand." Hongying immediately turned cold, "If there's nothing else, I'll go to town to help Xuebao sell clothes."
After saying this, Shen Qingqing ran up the tree angrily without waiting for her to speak.
Shen Qingqing looked at the oxcart that was getting further away, and sighed worriedly, hoping that Xuebao would suffer less, otherwise she, the mother, would suffer too.
Several villagers who had just arrived saw Shen Qingqing standing on the roadside and came forward with a smile to say hello: "Qingqing, good morning, are we not late?"
"It's not late. The kiln factory hasn't delivered the bricks and tiles yet. Let's sit in the room first, eat some melon seeds and chat for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Tiezhu hurried over to spread the news: "The men from the Meng Yuan family and the kiln factory are here to deliver bricks and tiles. Call the big guys out to move things quickly!"
"No need to shout, we all heard you!"
The villagers who were waiting in the courtyard came out one after another. They were men, women, old and young, and it was a dark place. It was estimated that there were more than a hundred people.
Wang Tiezhu was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. Countryside people usually ask relatives and neighbors for help when building a house. How much they can ask for depends on their popularity and the atmosphere of the village.
After decades of living, this is the first time he has seen that building a house can disturb so many people!
"Okay, that's great. There is no village in the entire Ningyang County that is more united and friendly than our Yanghua Village, right? We must maintain this state. When a family has something to do, the whole village helps, and strive to become a moral model for the entire county!"
Aunt Zhang folded her hands and laughed: "What kind of village is united and friendly? A village where all members are gluttons is right."
The others laughed and said, "Auntie, if you see through it, don't tell it, just to save some face for everyone."
Wang Tiezhu: "..."
He can't even dream. Oh, it's so difficult for him.
The men came to the foot of the mountain to move bricks and tiles while talking and laughing, while Shen Qingqing led a group of women and children to prepare lunch at home.
She had never cooked banquet dishes before, but she had never eaten pork and seen pigs run away. With her years of banquet experience, it was not difficult to come up with more than a dozen dishes.
Accompanied by the sizzling sound of stir-frying, delicious dishes came out of the pot one after another, and everyone in the courtyard was making fire, cutting vegetables, and putting them on the plate... everyone was secretly swallowing their saliva.
An aunt wiped her saliva and exclaimed intoxicatedly: "It smells so good. If I get rich one day, I will definitely live in Qingqing's small restaurant with my quilt on my shoulders, and eat three meals a day at her house."
"If we are bolder, three meals a day is not enough. If it were me, I would eat at least eight meals a day!"
"Eight meals a day? Are you sure you're still a human? Even pigs can't eat that well, right?"
The aunt's chest puffed up, "It's a dream anyway, why don't I be allowed to think beautifully?" This chapter has been completed!
