The group from Yunjia Village spent a long time wandering around Xiahe Village, and even went to the construction site to take a look excitedly.
The two uncles felt itchy and worked on it for more than an hour.
The group also went to the forest to watch the villagers digging wooden stakes.
Qiao Mingjin had already told her mother-in-law's family about collecting the wooden piles before, and asked them to dig out the wooden piles if they found good wood, and then bring them to her after digging.
Now the two uncles have asked someone to dig up a few and put them at home, but they didn't come this time, and they also know that Qiao Mingjin has no place to put them at home.
Qiao's mother and Qiao's father saw that Qiao Mingjin was living a good life now. Not only could mother and daughter have enough food and clothing, but they also had things to do, and they also had a steady stream of income, so they were half relieved.
It's just that when Mother Qiao met Yue Zhongyao, she couldn't help but feel resentment in her heart.
It is inevitable to worry about the future life of Qiao Mingjin and her daughter.
Besides, my daughter has so many things to worry about now. What should a woman worry about? A daughter should stay at home, take care of her husband and raise her children, and twist needles and embroider in her spare time. Her daughter’s needlework is inherited from her grandmother, and the flowers she embroiders are just like the real ones.
, the Yue family earned a lot of money from the embroidery work sold by their daughter.
Mother Qiao felt that her daughter was working too hard now. She even had to worry about dressing and eating, and had to raise a child by herself. She shed tears for a while.
But Father Qiao felt that his daughter was doing very well now. She had some things to do and was able to pass the time, so as not to worry about things in her mind.
Not only does the child look similar to his grandmother, but he also has a very tough temperament and will not compromise easily. Father Qiao can't say whether his daughter's temperament is good or not, but now it seems to him that her daughter has something to do and is happy, and he
I can feel a little more relieved, and I can somewhat explain myself to my mother when I go home.
When Father Qiao and Mother Qiao left, Qiao Mingjin gave them another thousand taels of silver.
Let the family continue to help buy some fields near Yunjia Village. At that time, it is up to the family to decide whether to rent out the land or hire long-term and part-time labor.
Mother Qiao didn't expect that her daughter had given her another thousand taels of silver to buy land. She was very surprised.
"Jin Niang, where did you get so much money?"
Qiao's mother didn't know how to read, but although she recognized the banknote, the denomination on the banknote was what Qiao's father told him.
"Mom, just take it with confidence. Don't you still believe in your daughter? This time it's the same as the last time I sold the abacus. My daughter thought of something, which is the pulley you saw on the mountain today. Didn't you also say that it works well?
Is it good? My uncle also said that he would ask Yun Jin's cousin to go to the city to make some for the family. The pulley was the daughter's idea. The daughter sold him to Saturday Master and got some money."
After hearing this, Father Qiao glared at Mother Qiao: "Don't you know what your child is like?"
Mother Qiao was a little afraid of Father Qiao when she came to Li Lai. At this time, she lowered her head after hearing Father Qiao's scolding. She whispered: "I'm worried too..."
"What are you worried about? Are you worried that your daughter will do something inappropriate? Was she born to you?"
Qiao Mingjin glanced at his parents and smiled. Sometimes he felt that the two did not match each other, but sometimes he felt that they were unusually harmonious.
Qiao Mingjin smiled and took Mother Qiao's arm, and said to her: "Mom, don't listen to other people's gossip. My daughter can walk and sit up straight. Let others say whatever they like. My daughter's money has been earned properly. Don't worry.
Take it and use it. You can buy some land nearby with these one thousand taels, and keep the rest for your family. My daughter still has it here. Don’t worry about her."
Mother Qiao glanced at her daughter and patted her daughter's hand with her hand happily.
This daughter was brought into the room by her mother-in-law and raised by her mother-in-law since she was a child. She was not allowed to interfere in anything except breastfeeding. She also knew that if her mother-in-law and husband-in-law were not in trouble, they would look down on her, a villager who could not read a word.
Women's.
She had lived with her mother-in-law for a long time and knew her mother-in-law's abilities. Almost all the subsequent children were raised by her mother-in-law.
She wasn't worried that her daughter would do something inappropriate, it was just that her family was buying land again and again. At least someone would say something else. And her daughter had just divorced.
, where does the money come from?
She was just worried.
Father Qiao glanced at Qiao Mingjin and said to her: "Your grandmother told you to do whatever you want, and don't worry about what others think. Live your own life, and only you know whether you are warm or cold, and it is none of other people's business!"
Qiao Mingjin nodded towards Father Qiao and responded: "Yes, Dad, my daughter has remembered it."
In addition to a thousand taels of silver, Qiao Mingjin also packed Father Qiao with some medicinal materials for health that she asked Lord Saturday to find.
Father Qiao has almost recovered his health over the years. However, he still gets sick occasionally when the seasons change. In his early years, he wandered with his mother and was seriously injured.
Since Qiao Mingjin cooperated with Zhou Yanqing, she asked Zhou Yanqing to help find some good medicinal materials.
Even Zhou Yanqing didn't want the money. He just said he got it from the medicine storehouse in the mansion and it wasn't worth taking.
Qiao Mingjin didn't show any pretense, she thanked her and accepted it.
Father Qiao glanced at his daughter, nodded, and asked Mother Qiao to take it.
The group of people took the bullock cart and went back.
However, Yunluan and He were left behind by Qiao Mingjin.
Since Yunjin arrived in Xiahe Village, he has not returned to his hometown for a long time. He has not seen his wife and children for a long time.
Qiao Mingjin saw that his family was reluctant to leave, and seeing that He's father and others were busy these days and didn't have time to wash the clothes, so he asked his cousin He to stay.
That night, Master Guan gave up Yunjin's house and went to sleep on the construction site despite everyone's persuasion.
Yun Jin was quite embarrassed. In the evening, she carried a jar of wine to the construction site and sang to the fullest with Master Guan, Master Quan and others before returning.
Xiao Wan'er was very excited about the sudden arrival of a little brother who was only one month older than her.
He grabbed Xiao Yunluan's hand and ran around the house. Mingqi was so exhausted following the two of them that he stuck his waist angrily. He didn't scold or hit him. He just followed the two of them and kept mumbling about "little devil".
The head is disobedient.
When Yue Zhongyao didn't come that night, Wan'er was a little disappointed, but she was soon dragged by Yun Luan to the courtyard to run horses. Soon, the laughter of the two people could be heard in the courtyard...
The construction site went very smoothly. Although the weather was hot during this period, there was no rain that affected the construction schedule.
And Yue Zhongyao returned to the city in August. Ten days of vacation was enough for him.
Liu Meiniang also followed.
During this period, she frequently appeared on the construction site. She had a sweet mouth and a harmless look, but she won the favor of some villagers.
Think about it, this girl is also very innocent. She only has a father who is responsible for the family business, just to save the third child of the in-law family. Otherwise, she is a city girl, maybe she can marry better. Really
What a pity.
Although Liu Meiniang had always wanted to find a chance to talk to Qiao Mingjin, it was obvious that Qiao Mingjin did not give her such a chance.
Liu Meiniang couldn't catch Qiao Mingjin, but she caught Zhou Yanqing twice and talked to Zhou Yanqing when he came.
He also asked Zhou Yanqing tactfully about what Qiao Mingjin had done for Zhou Yanqing.
Zhou Yanqing was obviously a good person at dealing with others. He coaxed Liu Meiniang to laugh so hard that her branches trembled, and she looked as shy as if she couldn't stand the spring rain while admiring the flowers.
Even Sister Xiu came to tell Qiao Mingjin that she saw the two of them chatting and laughing at the edge of the construction site. Sister Xiu was very shameless about Liu Meiniang's behavior in her words, and she scolded her a lot before she gave up...
When Qiao Mingjin saw Zhou Yanqing, she didn't ask. She wasn't used to asking other people's personal matters.
However, Zhou Yanqing stared at her several times, shook his head at Qiao Mingjin strangely, and made a tut-tsk sound in his mouth. When he saw Qiao Mingjin looking at him, he pretended not to explain.
This made Qiao Mingjin very confused.
During this period, Yue Zhongyao still tried to take a detour from his daughter, preparing to use his daughter to impress Qiao Mingjin's guard.
But I don't know whether it was because Wu and Liu Meiniang were acting strangely, or because Xiao Wan'er was too smart. In short, Wan'er never mentioned a word about her father in front of her mother.
Qiao Mingjin was too lazy to ask.
Although Zhou Yanqing lived in the city, he came here every now and then, and twice he even brought his follower Zhou Wenxuan.
This child is always so energetic. As soon as he gets off the carriage, he runs around, mingling with the boys in the village. He has a great time fishing for fish, shrimps, and mud snails in the river in Xiahe Village...
It wasn't until August 13th that Zhou Yanqing came again.
After twenty days of work, the workshop on the construction site will be finished in a few days.
August 15th is a big festival not only in the local area, but also in the entire Wei Dynasty. The excitement is comparable to the Chinese New Year.
Qiao Mingjin also agreed with Zhou Yanqing that the work would be done until noon on the 13th, because Master Guan and others had to go back to the city, each to their own homes, and it was difficult to finish the whole day, otherwise they might have to go back to the city in the dark.
Already.
The construction site will have a three-day holiday, and work will not officially resume until the 17th.
In order to let everyone have a good holiday, Qiao Mingjin and Zhou Yanqing decided to pay everyone their previous wages before finishing work on the 13th.
"Aunt Mingjin, I'm here again!"
Before Zhou Wenxuan could stop the car, he was about to jump down. But his sixth uncle grabbed him from the collar and gave him a fierce look, which made the boy become honest.
"Brother Wenxuan, are you here again?"
"Yes, Wan'er, I'm here. I brought you a lot of fun gifts this time!"
"Who cares about your gift? I think you just came here because you wanted to have fun, right?"
I don’t know why Ming Qi and Zhou Wenxuan are so uncooperative, and they pinch each other whenever they have nothing to do. I don’t know if it’s because Ming Heng is not here, and Ming Qi has no one to accompany her to pinch her.
"Stinky girl, I didn't say it was for you, I meant it for Wan'er! What's the matter with you?"
"Humph, I cooked today's meal, so don't eat if you feel like it!"
"If you don't want to eat, don't eat! I even brought some pastries. I can just eat the dishes cooked by Aunt Mingjin. Huh, I'll make you angry to death!"
Wan'er stood there obediently, saluted and said hello to Zhou Yanqing, and then watched her aunt and brother Wenxuan from the city chasing her around her fence. (To be continued. If you like this
