It was the first time someone called me boss, so Qi Kangan was a little shy.
He whispered to the girl on his back: "People in this big city are too polite, and I'm not a great man."
Qi Bao'er smiled: "Dad, how could you not afford a big man to buy such a big land to build a house, and the whole mountain over there.
When the fruit trees are planted in the future, we will create a lake to raise things, and then you will not only be called the boss."
You have to call me Master.
Ouch, when his daughter said this, his chest felt swollen.
But girl, we have to be reserved.
"Cough, cough, nonsense, these are all yours, dad is just watching for you."
Qi Baoer pursed her lips and said happily, "Dad, I went out for two days and earned a thousand taels, as well as many nice gifts."
Don't worry about these.
The silly dad whose pocket is cleaner than his face: "..."
In an instant, the swelling feeling in my chest disappeared, leaving only the coldness in my heart.
-
That night.
"Milk, I'm coming in."
Qi Bao'er was wearing light blue pajamas and ran to Old Qi's house with a small box in her arms.
Old man Qi went to chat with other little old men, but before he got home, Mrs. Tian was sitting on the bed sewing Qi Kangtai's clothes, and Qi Kangtai was sitting at the new desk reading.
As soon as Mrs. Tian saw her granddaughter coming in, she immediately put down her work, put all the sewing cloth into the dustpan, and pushed the dustpan to the innermost part of the bed.
I put my granddaughter who had already run to the bed and sat down on the bed. It was a cold night, so I took off my shoes and opened the quilt to cover my legs. "My dear, aren't you tired? Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"
"Nai, Mrs. Lu gave you a gift, I'll bring it to you."
Qibaoer opened the box.
The things inside are really not that valuable.
The Lu family is not a wealthy family. What Mrs. Lu has in her hands now is something that Lu Tong paid little by little after becoming an official.
The small set is not a grand agate jewelry, a pair of thin bracelets, a pair of silver orchid inlaid agate hairpins, a silver orchid inlaid agate necklace, drop-shaped agate earrings.
Qi Bao'er had seen too many good things in her previous life, and she only needed to take a look at this set to know that it was just made of scraps.
But in the eyes of Mrs. Tian, these are like, "Wow~" wow wow.
"This is too expensive."
The style looks old and obviously not something given to her.
If it’s not for my sweetheart, then no matter whether it’s for Sanni or her, this gift is too heavy.
Mrs. Tian felt that she deserved it.
Qi Bao'er closed the box and pushed it in front of Mrs. Tian, "Nai, Mrs. Lu gave us three sets. Nai, Mom and I both have them. This is Nai's, so you can keep it yourself."
Mrs. Tian was still embarrassed and didn't dare to take it, "Bao, Nai, I haven't done anything, how can I accept such a big gift? You have to pay back things after accepting them, and Nai doesn't know Mrs. Lu, so Nai accepts them
If you get something, it’s not all your fault.”
Qi Baoer: "..."
The four elders above her really took her to heart.
"Milk, it's okay. I did them a big favor. This is a thank you gift. If they give it to us, we will accept it. We won't owe each other anything in the future. If they give it to us and confiscate it, they will still owe us a favor and have to
Thinking about how to pay it back, I might be afraid that I would take the opportunity to steal from them, and they wouldn't be happy."
Mrs. Tian was suspicious: "Really?"
"Well, milk, you don't know what I am capable of. I can eat anywhere I go."
As soon as she heard this, the old lady was in a fit of anger, "But, my little girl is not comparable to ordinary people? You told me on the road that you wanted me to live in a big house, but now why don't you let me live in a big house?"
Here you go."
Qi Kangtai, who was reading a book but hadn't turned a page for a long time: "..."
Why does he feel that his mother is caring about him?
It must be an illusion.
-
After that, everything in Qijia Village was proceeding step by step.
It seemed that the anomaly they discovered when they first entered the village was an illusion, and it seemed as if the exhumed skeleton had never existed.
Everyone builds houses at sunrise and rests at sunset every day.
Day by day, the two brick houses of Lao Qi's house gradually took shape, and then the beams were put up and moved in.
It doesn't count as officially moving into a new home. Now everyone is just getting relief food to survive. Lao Qi's family didn't hold a big housewarming party, but just invited a few familiar people to have dinner.
I finally live in my own house. How do I feel about it? Although I am still squeezed into two rooms, I just feel more down-to-earth.
Everyone thought that life would go on like this, but who knew that this night, an "uninvited guest" came.
There are only two houses built, but both houses are quite large, each measuring more than thirty square meters.
Qi Kangan and his wife worked really hard to provide Qi Kang'an with a quiet reading environment. They built the house across the river, built a temporary kitchen a few meters away from the house, and placed the dining table in the big house.
It can be said that we are trying our best to eliminate all noise that has an impact on Qikangtai.
But at the same time, they live in a quite remote place, and no one in the village can hear them calling for help in the middle of the night.
Everyone in the big house was sleeping, when suddenly a carriage stopped outside their house.
The guard knocked on the door of the big room with a bang.
A man who claimed to be Mr. Wu, but looked nothing like Wu Haoyuan came to visit.
If he hadn't been accompanied by their acquaintance Butler Wu, he would have been kicked out by Qi Baoer for just the crime of waking people up in the middle of the night.
Mr. Wu first bowed to the people of Lao Qi's family and thanked them for saving his brother.
People are so polite, so we can't be rude.
But just as he politely helped the person up, the guy bent down again.
This time it's an apology.
It turned out that the village that Prince Wu had arranged for them early in the morning was Yaopan Village. Although Yaopan Village had the same surname and clan, the real backer in Beijing behind Yaopan Village was the Zhenbei General Mansion.
Mr. Wu has already made arrangements in Yaopan Village. No one in the village will make things difficult for them. The houses and fields can only be arranged after the people from Qijia Village move in. As long as the old Qi family has made a good choice, Mr. Wu
I will pay for it out of my own pocket.
The reason why things are like this can only be said that pillow style is sometimes very useful.
It had nothing to do with them offending the Wang family in Pingcheng, but it was because the two houses of Wu and Qi had old grudges.
Things are still a bit convoluted.
Mrs. Qi from the Duke of Qi's Mansion and Mrs. Wu, Wu Haoyuan's grandmother, were originally handkerchiefs. Then, for some unknown reason, their best friends turned against each other and became enemies, and the two houses also became enemies.
"The Duke's wife is the niece of Mrs. Qi, so she regards the Wu family as an enemy. I don't know where she learned about the third brother,,,
Mr. Cheng, the Prime Minister of Wutong Town County, is an in-law from his mother's clan, and Mrs. Cheng has a very secret relationship with the prefect's wife."
When settling down in a place, you naturally need to understand the surrounding situation. Laoqi's family already knows that Wutong Town is right next to Jiuchang Town and belongs to Taiyuan County.
Except for Mrs. Tian and Ye Sanni who were hiding to avoid suspicion, and San Lang who was still sleeping soundly, none of the people present in Lao Qi's family were stupid enough to understand what Mr. Wu meant.
It was the Duke's wife who knew that they had rescued Wu Haoyuan, and then asked the wife of the county magistrate of Wutong Town to follow the path of the prefect's wife. The prefect's wife turned a deaf ear to the prefect and arranged for them to come to this dangerous village.
