After working hard for several days, even if Yue Er and Yue Si did not contribute much, the Yue family's work on the ten acres of land was also finished.
The auxiliary workers who had taken leave from the workshop also came back to work one after another.
Xia and He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
These days, besides being busy with kitchen work and chores inside and outside the workshop, the two of them also do auxiliary work for the men. They are not as busy as usual.
Qiao Mingjin also breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to relax and teach her daughter how to read a few words.
And it was time for Yue Zhongyao to return to the city.
Before leaving, he rubbed his hands and moved to Qiao Mingjin and said a lot.
Qiao Mingjin felt a little confused.
She looked at him in surprise.
Yue Zhongyao was secretly annoyed with himself. Every time he met his wife, his tongue couldn't help but get knotted.
He was laughing and cursing in the yamen, without any hesitation.
"Jin Niang... I'm going back to the city to deal with some things... Stay here, okay, I'll be back... Wan'er will stay with you first. From now on, from now on... I'll guard you."
After Qiao Mingjin heard what he said, she just looked at him and didn't respond.
Yue Zhongyao raised his head and glanced at her quickly, and said: "You, if you are scared at night, just sleep with a light on. I have told my cousins and cousins to let them sleep at home to stay with you..."
Qiao Mingjin frowned.
Xia married He at an early age. Because the family situation was not good in the early years, she did not dare to go to her daughter's husband's house for fear of being criticized. And because she was the only one busy at home, her mother
The two women didn't see each other often.
Nowadays, it is rare for a family to be together in one place. After dinner every evening, the whole family will chat and gossip in the yard of the workshop. The husband, wife, and son-in-law talk and laugh.
In addition to helping the family chop firewood and taking care of the dozens of chickens every day, He and her cousin Yun Jin seldom slept at Qiao Mingjin's house.
She and Wan'er are the only two people in the family now. Even if Ming Qi is included, there are only three of them. How many chickens can they eat?
However, after adding more people to the workshop, more food was prepared. Xia was a good person, so she added twenty to thirty half-sized chickens to raise since she came.
It is said that it saves you from buying meat outside, which is expensive and troublesome, and you can also eat chicken and eggs.
Therefore, Qiao Mingjin's chickens are now taken care of by Yun Jin in the morning and evening. In the morning, he rushes out to get off work and then goes to the forest to collect them.
Qiao Mingjin doesn't necessarily want Yun Jin and his wife to live back. Although they are kissing each other, they must be more comfortable living in the workshop.
Now, Yue Zhongyao had no time to talk.
"No need. The walls of our house are high and the doors are thick. We don't close our doors at night unless we pick up leftovers on the streets in the village. There's nothing to worry about. Wan'er and I will just be together."
Yue Zhongyao didn't care about Qiao Mingjin's rejection of his intentions.
Since he came back, his wife has been indifferent to him, and he seems to have been used to it.
I always feel that one day my wife's heart will warm up and he can warm her heart.
"Then you can sleep with a light on when you sleep. Don't be afraid of wasting oil. After returning to the city, I will find someone to find some candles that burn less smoke for you to use."
"No need, you can just go about your business with peace of mind."
After hearing this, Yue Zhongyao opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but then closed his mouth tightly.
After calling Wan'er to give some instructions, he said goodbye to his mother and son and returned to the city.
Qiao Mingjin didn't feel much about Yue Zhongyao's departure, but Wan'er was speechless for several days.
It wasn't until the farm work in the village was finished and the children came to play with her again that the girl came back to life like a Yanba green vegetable that had been soaked in water.
And Zhou Yanqing, the Sixth Master of the Zhou Mansion, who had mysteriously disappeared for less than half a month, drove his large and ostentatious carriage to Xiahe Village for inspection.
The way this guy stared at Qiao Mingjin made Qiao Mingjin feel very strange.
With scrutiny? Like we just met for the first time?
The eyes seem a little fiery again? Hmm. It doesn’t seem right either.
But I can't tell.
A bit like a familiar stranger?
Qiao Mingjin smiled.
Said: "Are you possessed by evil spirits?"
The guy was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'm afraid so."
Shitou secretly looked at their faces and found nothing. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
And Zhou Yanqing was detained at home these days looking at pictures of beauties. She was really dizzy and couldn't let go. She was so numb.
He also passed by me gracefully and admired me for a long time. There was also a faint fragrance in my heart.
Just looking at dozens of wood-like portraits of beauties made me numb.
After eating too much big fish and meat, I want to find something salty and light, with a clear and light soup to savor.
I can't control my pace and always want to go to Xiahe Village.
The inexplicable feelings in his heart made him hesitate again.
As my mother held pictures of beauties in front of her, private and official media were invited back to her home one after another. After looking at each other for a while, she became numb and tired.
I'm longing for that ray of freshness.
The more I thought about it last night, the more I thought about it. If it hadn't been for the dark moon and high wind, I would have asked the boy to prepare the car.
There was no use for breakfast this morning. I had ordered Shitou and the groom to come in the car early.
As usual, this guy played around with Wan'er for a while, then went to the workshop to encourage everyone, and went over the accounts with Qiao Mingjin for a while, then stayed at Qiao's house to wait for lunch.
Shitou Mali asked the coachman who was following him to help in the kitchen, while he stayed by his side.
Shitou is also living in dire straits these days.
The old lady in his family didn't know why she was crazy. She had been coddling his sixth master, but she had been paying more attention to her these days.
Not only did they send a few maids to Tingfeng Courtyard, but they also sent people to take him to the main courtyard every day to inquire about Master Liu's daily whereabouts.
When did you go out, who did you see, what did you do, what you ate, and who you socialized with...all must be reported in detail.
Originally, Shitou thought that he had followed me in his previous life, and even his ancestors burned high-quality incense, and there were still smoke rising from the ancestral graves somewhere, so that he, an orphan who was picked up, became his personal child. Si.
Not only did he enjoy the good life and drink spicy food with me, but he also received generous rewards, and when people outside saw him, they had to smile and bow down and call him "young master".
Even the houses we live in are single rooms rather than full-size bungalows.
He is a rare lucky charm.
I don’t know how many people in the house became red-eyed.
But these days, he has to run to the main room with trepidation every day to answer questions. He even has to explain clearly how many times he went to the hut every day. He feels that the good days seem to be over.
Doesn't he understand what the old lady means? If he hooks me into some messy place, his life will be taken care of in advance.
He's stupid. He doesn't know a lot of Chinese characters, but that doesn't mean he can't read words and emotions.
He is the best at observing words and expressions.
Otherwise, how could he compete with the beggars for food, and how could he win the favor of the master and be served personally in the house.
He had noticed a long time ago that his father was interested in this young lady.
It's just that his father doesn't know it.
Otherwise, why would he think that someone who had been so pure and reticent in the past few years suddenly became normal and learned to appreciate flowers and the moon?
"Are you also possessed by evil spirits during this time? Why are you sticking to me?"
Zhou Yanqing was leaning on a high-backed chair, with her feet resting on the low table in front of her. She was holding a ledger in her hand and asked with squinting eyes.
Shitou Ji Lingling was startled. He would rather offend his father than offend the old lady in the mansion.
If you offend me, you still have a chance to stand up, but if you offend the person in the house, you won't have a chance to stand up, and your life will have to be played out.
"No, no. I'm just worried that I'm bored. Ah, it's getting hotter today, so I'll give you a little fan."
As he spoke, he pulled up his sleeves and started fanning Zhou Yanqing.
Zhou Yanqing glanced at him strangely, then looked outside. The sun was already shining a little, but luckily, it wasn't too hot yet.
It is better to run more often while the weather is not hot. Otherwise, he will really not want to go out when he cannot even use an ice basin to hold him down.
Xiao Shitou saw that his father was immersed in the account book again and let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, his father didn't like to get to the bottom of things, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to pass one or two tests in front of his father.
His grandfather is fine.
At noon, Zhou Yanqing had another delicious meal.
He didn't understand that the food cooked by this woman was just average, and couldn't be compared to the chefs he had scoured from all over the place who were good at cooking all kinds of dishes. Moreover, the exquisiteness and matching of shapes and colors were even more incomparable.
.
This woman seems to only care about taste and eating well. She doesn't care about what dishes go with what plates, what shapes they are placed on, and what flowers they go with.
But the heart is well made, but the eye-catching quality is a bit lacking.
But why does he keep thinking about this dish that cannot be compared to one or two?
When I come back, I have to step on the food spot and think about having a lunch here. Whenever I can't eat, it's like I'm missing something.
This is really life-threatening.
"Master Liu, are you satisfied with your meal?"
Zhou Yanqing reacted quickly, came back to his senses, and said in a pretentious manner: "Well, you can still enter the mouth, you have the intention. Reward."
Qiao Mingjin snorted with obvious disdain, turned around and sat on the chair in the main room.
"Sixth Master is also interested, and this time he has brought in a lot of orders. Thank you for your hard work. It seems that I will be able to make money again soon, which is great."
Zhou Yanqing looked proud after hearing this.
Seeing her happy makes me feel very happy.
"No, my legs are too thin. I don't see anyone being grateful. Even the tea is not served."
Qiao Mingjin poured him a cup of tea and snorted: "It sounds like you are working for me."
The two joked for a while, talked about some things in the workshop, and talked about the serious matter of a stick of incense.
The guy looked at Qiao Mingjin with a serious look on his face and turned his eyes away again.
"...To make a breakthrough...you need to spend time with this person. Life is different from visiting a brothel. When you get tired of it, change the taste..."
The heartfelt words of three or two friends flashed in Zhou Yanqing's ears.
He felt it was justified.
This period of time disturbed him every night, and he couldn't figure out whether he wanted to eat this flavor for a long time, or whether he wanted to change it occasionally.
Zhou Yanqing has very good eyesight. Even though he is sitting opposite Qiao Mingjin, he can still see the thin hair on the fair face of the woman opposite, and her face must also be very smooth...
Zhou Yanqing felt as if his whole body was burning again.
Doshi cleared his throat twice and said to Qiao Mingjin: "You, do you want to move to the city?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your support is
