Several people came out of the cottage and got on the carriage, but no one said a word.
Dexi, who was driving the bus, noticed something was wrong, but he could only drive the bus in a disciplined manner and had no other ideas.
Along the way, they could see clearly what the Li family was like. People can pretend for a while but not forever. Judging from what their family has done, what Wolf Head is worried about will never happen.
.Especially after saving those two children, I can be even more certain.
Li Hui in the car never expected that news could spread so quickly without any electronic equipment. Cheng Xue was silently thinking about what to do after going to Fucheng in the north. The key point in Tan Ming's words was,
She grasped that the people there were not moving forward in life and had no motivation. This was the most terrifying thing.
As for Li Heng and Yan Yixin, they plan to send people to collect mushrooms and fungus in each village after returning to the village. It has snowed in the north, which means that there are no mountain products in the mountains there, so they need to prepare ingredients for the winter as soon as possible.
, they have many families.
Everyone had their own thoughts, so that when they set off again the next day, there was no excitement and joy as in the past.
Lian noticed something was wrong, but did not ask any further questions. At noon, everyone simply dealt with each other in the car. Cheng Xue also roughly told what they heard yesterday. In this way, they rushed into the city before Pingyang County closed.
Chang was waiting at the door with Lao Zao, and warmly took them to the county government house.
Originally, Li Hui didn't want to live in the county government office. After all, he didn't have to pay to go to the inn. But Zhou Fei and his wife refused to listen to anything they said. Sister Xuan just hugged his thigh and didn't give him a chance.
Seeing this, Cheng Xue smiled and tugged on Li Hui's sleeves, saying:
"Forget it, brother Zhou Fei and his younger siblings have good intentions, let's not let them down. We have to go back tomorrow morning, so just stay here. You two should hurry up and have a good chat, it'll be fine if you live together."
The half-joking words did not ease the atmosphere, but made Zhou Fei excitedly raise his voice——
"What? Leaving tomorrow?"
A sudden voice made Sister Xuan tremble. Lian quickly asked the wet nurse to take the child away, and then ordered the mother-in-law:
"Mommy, go to the kitchen quickly and cook a few special dishes. Remember to tell the kitchen to make dumplings tomorrow morning. Sir, we are tired from traveling all day, can anyone prepare hot water?"
Zhou Fei nodded, and someone immediately took Li Hui and his family to take a bath.
After they left, he spoke again:
"Why did Yuying stop me just now? Brother, sister-in-law is traveling all the way and has to take care of you mother and daughter. We have to treat you well."
"I know, but they are in a hurry to leave, and we can't stop them. It's snowing and hailing over there, and the situation is serious. My sister-in-law mentioned it to me at noon. Although we are far away from them, there are ways to contact them.
There is no need to stick to these two days. I estimate that they will only stay in the village for three days at most when they go back. Let's not delay them. Didn't you notice that Shunxi and Bai Shao were not here? They didn't go into the city and hurried back to the village overnight.
”
Zhou Fei completely gave up the idea after hearing this.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Is your daughter good on the road? I'm not making trouble for you."
"Tangtang and Tiantian were sitting in my car. She was just playing with her sisters and didn't bother me. Did you take over the job smoothly? Fu Yin didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
While they were talking, the couple returned to the house. The house was cleaned from top to bottom, and the kang was warm.
Lian looked around and saw that this was the place where the couple would live for the next five years. Whatever was lacking they had to be purchased as soon as possible. Several places needed to be purchased, so she secretly made a note of it, waiting to see Li Hui and the others back to the village tomorrow.
Start taking care of it.
Now that you have decided to be a good wife, you must not just talk about it, you must put it into practice.
Zhou Fei took out a locked box from the cabinet, handed it to her, and said:
"Don't worry, I don't have any problems here. My eldest brother is here to support me. The governor won't be polite to me. I can take charge of many things in the county without being restricted. The box is what you gave me before I left.
You can take care of the money and other things, and the back house is yours to take care of. I don't care about that."
Lian looked at the box in his hand and felt that he and Li Hui had been together for a long time, and they had learned this temperament, habits, and handling style.
This is good, he has no reservations, and she doesn't have any second thoughts. I believe it won't be long before the two of them can live a happy life together.
"Don't worry, husband, I will take care of the back house so that you don't have to worry about anything."
The dinner was all cooked by Lian's wet nurse, and the table was full of exquisite dishes, which was a feast for the eyes.
"Sister-in-law, let's have dinner tomorrow, and you can set off after eating. If you need anything there, just write to me, and I'll tell you. I'll go to the county house at noon tomorrow, and I won't let my husband follow me, so it's just me and grandma.
Personally, make things difficult for the guys like you did yesterday, and then see how they react."
Cheng Xue listened to Lian's thoughtful words and nodded, feeling very pleased.
"Thank you. I'll write to you when I make arrangements there. We'll keep in touch regularly."
"Well, okay."
The two made an agreement and continued to eat. After the meal, Lian Shi did not take Cheng Xue to chat, but sent the mother and daughter back to their room sensibly, and then went back to arrange things.
There were many people taking care of me along the way, and I had to prepare all the food and supplies. Especially the leather goods. I had written a letter a long time ago asking for preparations. I looked at the cloak and leather-covered cotton boots on the table and stretched out my hand.
It feels quite thick and should be able to survive the winter.
"Madam, this is the coat that my servant made for the young lady and young masters of the Li family. Do you think it's okay?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Lian picked up one and added some cotton that wasn't too thick, so it fit snugly.
"Okay, okay, mama is very thoughtful. Is the charcoal that Brother Nanny prepared ready? How long will it last?"
"Back to Madam, it is said that ten cars were loaded. This thank you gift is generous enough." The mother-in-law replied.
Although I know it's worth it, ten loads of charcoal, especially if I buy it after autumn, is much more expensive than usual.
Lian understood what she meant, twirled the tea cup and murmured:
"Now that my mother's family can't count on me, and the dowry money is dead, I must have a good relationship with my sister-in-law so that I can make more money. Don't worry, my sister-in-law will not treat me badly. I believe I will have many ways to make money in the future. Just let me
Brother Ru, please hold back for the time being. When I need to open a shop, he will be my first choice."
"Looking at what Madam said, it is right for us, mother and son, to be taken care of by you. How dare you think otherwise. Madam Li gave me a recipe to heal my body. Once you get it right, I will make it for you." "Okay." Mrs. Lian smiled and nodded, not being as repellent as before.
Zhou Fei's attitude today gave her the confidence to continue having children. While he was too busy in the past few years to take care of it, she would have a few more. When his career was stable, she would concentrate on building a relationship with him. By then, the concubine would be married.
If they all stand aside, their back houses will only be clean...
