Chapter 364: Changes in the family

The little baby was dressed up very pink today, she was all pink from head to toe.

Her hair was combed into two buns, and the two buns were wrapped with pink ribbons. There was a small golden bell hanging from the ribbon. Half of the hair hanging down was tied into a loose knot by Qiu Yu, and pinned with dots.

Pearls, and a pink hairband with golden bells also tied at the end of her hair.

When you shake your head, you will hear the sound of bells that are not loud but not low-key either, adding a bit of naughtiness.

She is wearing a white pink dress with no fur collar, but the dress only looks like a dress, but is actually wider trousers, with bamboo leaves embroidered with money on the sleeves and trousers.

There is a wide belt tied around the waist. The belt is not pink, but a hollow carved gold belt with a white jade buckle.

Hanging on the waist is a small pink purse and a white jade pendant on the left side.

The feet are also pink embroidered shoes, but if you look closely, every bamboo leaf on both sides of the shoes is made of real jade, and the lotus core on the upper is made of real pearls.

This outfit, at first glance - cute, at second glance - beautiful, and at third glance - expensive.

Old man Qi was startled for a moment and then laughed. How can it be expensive? Most of his granddaughter's things were sent by noble people in Beijing.

As for the outfit he was wearing now, he remembered that it was something relatively low-key that Guaguai had. It was just delivered by Zhenbei General Mansion two days ago. The person who came to give the gift pointed out that this outfit was made by their old lady.

The accessories were all painted by the old lady herself.

"My dear, have you missed me?" He stepped forward to pick up his granddaughter who was still standing at the top of the stairs, and the old man Qi rubbed her proud face against her.

Don't be proud of me, there's no point in worrying about him, he is your obedient father-in-law.

Qi Bao'er hugged Old Qi's head, pumped the left cheek and then the right cheek, telling the little old man whether she wanted to or not with her actions.

Ouch, this made old man Qi happy. The pace when he carried his granddaughter out was twice as long as usual.

Qiu Yu followed behind and the smile on her face never fell. She really liked staying at Qi's house more and more.

Describe it in one word - comfortable.

No matter how big the Qi family's house is, no matter how much the yard is divided, there is no such thing as eating at separate tables, a big kitchen or a small kitchen. The whole family still eats in the yard of the old man Qi and his wife.

As for the kitchen, the whole family also has one kitchen.

Although Old Man Qi has also read books, he has not touched books for many years and has been working in the fields. He is no longer used to making elegant arrangements, so he simply and crudely named the dining room - dining room.

This was the result of what he had been thinking about for several nights.

Entering the dining hall, Qi Bao'er also saw acquaintances other than family members. Aunt Lei, who got along very well with her mother during the house building period, seemed to be named Lei Minmin, and she was the eldest daughter-in-law of Qi Kangshui's family.

At this time, Lei Minmin and a dozen people who were strangers to Qi Baoer were standing at a table in the corner of the dining hall. When they saw the grandfather and grandson coming in, they all bowed down and saluted respectfully.

"County Lord Da'an."

Qi Baoer: "???" When did her family have this rule?

Fortunately, there are not many rules. After everyone in the Qi family has come to the table, the person at the corner table can go to the table and eat by himself without being called by the host family.

Unlike many wealthy families in Beijing, the rule is that the masters eat, and the servants can only eat the leftovers left by the masters.

The Qi family had a rule of not talking during meals, so they naturally chatted with each other at the dinner table. Qi Baoer sat between old man Qi and Qi Kangan, and the main thing he faced was the questioning of these two.

Well, it doesn't count as asking, but they are also very curious about what happened in the past ten days after Qi Bao'er's accident.

Gradually, it was Qi Baoer who was talking, and everyone at the table of servants, including the servants, was listening quietly.

When it comes to the Ma Liu family's oppression of Dafang, everyone with angry faces avenges Dafang of the Ma family.

When it was mentioned that Ma Fan was beaten and scolded for doing the whole family's work, someone could still be heard cursing in a low voice.

Then, the topic naturally turned to Qi Kangtai. He just came back from the exam yesterday and was the second person the whole family paid attention to.

Qi Kangtai can say more things than Qi Baoer. He has experienced a lot this time. Compared with before, he has truly seen the world.

Because it was convenient to go to Rongcheng early, he wanted to read more books and have the opportunity to go to a famous bookstore in Rongcheng and soak in the scent of books for a few days.

Later, when there were more and more students rushing to take exams, I did not mention famous bookstores, but any place related to books was crowded with people.

As the Provincial Examination was approaching, I went to the bookstore every day to see more than one person, and they were all students, so they had their own topics of conversation. Naturally, Qi Kangtai got to know a lot of people in the bookstore in those days.

There are people from Rongcheng and people like him from various towns in Rong County.

He rented a courtyard, but others were not as lucky as him. In some inns, three or four people had to squeeze into one room.

Although Qi Kangtai is not very conspicuous at home, he is quite good at being a good person outside. Seeing that there are some people with good conduct and good conversational skills, he is not stupid enough to invite people to live in his home, but everyone can go to his courtyard to study.

Compared with an inn, an independent courtyard is naturally quieter, and a group of students who get along well can discuss with each other.

Just like that, he made a lot of friends and gained a lot of knowledge during this trip. Moreover, after the exam, they made an appointment with each other to come to Qijia Village to play with him after the results were released.

They are all in their teens, and the relationship between these students is not just a matter of "just talking", there are many interesting things.

So and so copied the book and drank the ink directly.

So-and-so went up a mountain to find inspiration for writing poetry, and then threw himself into the mud.

And so-and-so made a joke because he couldn't even tell the difference between rice and wheat.

Etc., etc.

The whole family laughed so hard that they almost forgot to eat.

Mrs. Tian even broke out laughing and had to be helped out by Ye Sanni.

When I got home, it seemed that all the evil spirits and conspiracies had gone away, leaving only peace.

In less than half a day, Qi Baoer learned about the changes in her home and village during the ten days she had been away.

That's called a huge one.

First, every household in the village began to raise pigs.

You read that right, every household raises piglets. Qijia Village, a very popular village in Shanglin Village, sells as many piglets as they want. They also provide follow-up services, ensuring that the veterinarian will be there at any time.

Li Zheng held a meeting for the village, talking about the benefits of raising pigs and sharing the risks. In the end, everyone was willing to take the risk. Some people raised one, and some were cruel enough to have two.

They Qi Zhai also raised them. After discussion between the old man Qi and Qi Kang'an, they fenced off a piece of land by the river where they lived a while ago and raised twenty of them at once.

Her father also said that this was just testing the waters.

Originally, Zhu Guan's job was to pray for Kang'an's new servant.

However, there were not many people buying from Qi Kang'an. There were only six men, including the doorkeeper, two girls, one woman, and Lei Minmin who later sold himself in, so the total number of servants was exactly ten.

.

Living in a big house is beautiful, but it is also troublesome. You have to make sure that the house is clean every day, and there will be many servants needed.

There are two for cleaning, two for cooking, and at least one for guarding the door. There are a lot of other chores at home that cannot be separated from others.
