After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 353: Painting and Raw Materials Arrived

"Are you teasing the dog?" Uncle Qin leaned out of the window and said, "Da Lang is your fiancé, you should talk to him like a normal engaged couple."

You have to be gentle and have a little affection, and you can't speak as if you are teasing a dog, teaching a child, or ordering servants to do work.

Qin Xiaomi thought he was talking nonsense and just asked Jiang Dalang: "Do you still remember what my third uncle and aunt look like?"

"I remember." Su Su took the initiative to talk to him, which made him very happy. He smiled and nodded, and asked in a gentle voice: "Why do you ask this, Xiaomi?"

Qin Xiaomi said, "I would like to ask you to draw a few portraits of my uncle and aunt for Xiao Gu Xiaomai to see, so that they will not forget what their parents look like after a long time."

Jiang Dalang realized her intention in this matter and almost couldn't laugh.

But he was an emperor in his previous life, and his facial muscles had long been tamed by him. He could make corresponding expressions as needed. He said with a little embarrassment: "I can draw, but my figure drawing skills are not as good as grandpa's. I'm afraid my drawing won't look like him."

In fact, in his previous life, figure sketching was popular in the Great Sheng Dynasty because of Mr. Yunfu. He and Susu also learned sketching since childhood. But now he can't show any sketching skills at all!

Otherwise, there would be no future for him and Susu.

Qin Xiaomi smiled: "It's okay, just do your best to draw."

He then said, "By the way, draw a picture for my brother, my parents, your parents, your grandparents, and Sister Da Tao as well."

Uncle Qin couldn't help it, and rushed over from the right wing, saying, "Why are you using laborers? Dalang already has countless jobs to do, and you still ask him to paint. You really don't know how to care for him!"

Qin Xiaomi said, "Second Uncle is right. In order to prevent Dalang from being too tired, you will do Dalang's work. Dalang can just stay in the house and paint every day."

"Hahaha, Second Uncle is just teasing you because you are too serious at such a young age." Second Uncle Qin was scared and patted Jiang Dalang on the shoulder and said, "Dalang, you are young and it is a good time to work. I am old now and I will not compete with you for work."

After saying that, he moved his feet and jumped two meters away, crossed the front yard, ran back to the right wing, and slammed the door and window shut.

Uh, Qin Xiaomi was speechless.

"Don't worry, Xiaomi. I will find time to draw the portrait. But I need your help, Xiaogu, Erlang and Uncle Qin, so that the character can be drawn as realistically as possible."

Qin Xiaomi agreed: "Okay, we will help you draw together."

As long as Jiang Dalang was the main painter, no matter how many people helped, it would not prevent her from finding his brushstrokes and painting techniques from the portrait.

"Okay." Jiang Dalang responded, looking down at her with a gentle smile in his eyes.

Qin Xiaomi frowned, took a step back, looked up at him, and said, "Da Lang, go move the pickled cabbage."

Grandma Qin was peeking in the main room, and when she heard this, she was so anxious that she almost jumped up... Oh, at this time, what are you talking about?

Jiang Dalang was stunned for a moment, then his smile deepened and he replied, "Well, I'll go get the pickled cabbage right away."

After saying that, he turned and left.

After he left, Qin Xiaomi felt relieved... It was really hard to accept the kindness of a young man. However, if it turned out that Jiang Dalang was a dog emperor, then she wouldn't have to worry about it and could just kill him.

Qin Xiaomi walked up to Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin's door and shouted, "Uncle, Village Chief Zhou's family has sent some pickled vegetables. Hurry up and move them. Don't be lazy and not work!"

Uncle Qin: "Nonsense, how can it be so fast!"

Qin Xiaomi: "It's about time. And the Zhou family is giving us sauerkraut for free, so we have to take it."

"Wait, we are still hiding things and will be out soon." Uncle Qin lay on the stove bed, closed his eyes and crossed his legs.

Oh, if he was really busy hiding something, how could there be no noise in the room?

Qin Xiaomi didn't believe him and called Jiang Xiaozhu, "Xiaozhu, use a stick to smash the door until they come out."

"I'm coming!" Jiang Xiaozhu was excited. She picked up her own wooden stick, ran over, and banged on the door.

"A bunch of debt collectors!" Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin were so annoyed by the noise that they had to stop being lazy, open the door, and go to the village entrance with Jiang Dalang to wait for the sauerkraut.

It didn't take long before the Zhou family's mule cart arrived.

"Brother Zhou Er is here." Uncle Qin said, and immediately lifted the car curtain. After seeing that in addition to pickled cabbage, there were three full baskets of eggs in the car, his eyes smiled into crescents: "Hey, Brother Zhou Er, your family could have sent pickled cabbage, why did you also send eggs? Since you sent it, my family has no choice but to accept it."

These eggs were not given as gifts. The Qin family asked the Zhou family to help collect them.

But Mr. Zhou was too embarrassed to say this, so he could only smile and ask them to get in the car and go to the west of the village together.

Fortunately, Qin Xiaogu had been waiting with silver. When he saw Mr. Zhou Er, he gave him two taels of silver: "Uncle Zhou Er, this is the money to buy eggs. Please keep it."

He added: "You can continue to collect eggs, vegetables, and grains and send them to me. My family will buy them all."

It is not easy to purchase supplies in the countryside, and the Qin family now has many servants and high consumption, so Grandma Qin asked Grandma Zhou Shiliu to pass the message back and ask the Zhou family to help collect eggs, coarse grains, vegetables and other items.

Uncle Qin was anxious: "Isn't this a gift?"

Qin Xiaogu looked at his second uncle whom he had only met for two days and nodded, "Well, it's not a gift, it was bought by our family."

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Uncle Qin complained, then came over and asked him like a good brother: "Xiao Gu, who gave you this money? Is there any left? I'm not saying anything bad about you, it's just that you're too young and it's easy for you to lose your purse."

Qin Xiaogu saw through his intention and said, "It was given by grandma. There is still some left, but I have to return it to grandma. Otherwise, if the accounts don't match when I check the small accounts at the end of the month, I will have to pay compensation."

Uncle Qin's face twitched twice and he asked, "Does the family need to settle accounts at the end of the month?"

Qin Xiaogu nodded: "Yes, every month we have to calculate how much money our family spends on food, clothing and other expenses."

Uncle Qin was depressed. Seeing that he could not get any money, he immediately changed his face and ordered Qin Xiaogu: "Then don't stand there, go and bring the eggs home."

Mr. Zhou Er said hurriedly, "No, no, we can move it. A basket of eggs is heavy, and Xiao Gu is still young and can't move it."

"Don't bother Uncle Zhou, the servants will do it." Qin Xiaogu stood up straight and told Xu Zhengmao and the others, "Uncle Xu, take the pickled cabbage and eggs back home."

"Yes." After receiving the order, Xu Zhengmao and his men came over immediately and quickly moved a jar of sauerkraut and three baskets of eggs back to the Qin family's house.

"Uncle Zhou Er, this is the money for the jar of sauerkraut. Please keep it." Qin Xiaogu gave half a tael of silver for the jar of sauerkraut.

Uncle Qin felt very sad when seeing this. Wasn't it a gift? Why did he have to pay for the sauerkraut jar?

Giving local products is a favor, there is no need to give a jar. And nowadays, a large jar is a valuable item, and Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin told me not to take this jar for free.

After receiving the money from the jar, Mr. Zhou asked Qin Xiaogu, "Is your grandfather here?"

Qin Xiaogu smiled and said, "Grandpa will be back soon. Please go sit in the guest room first."

He was like a little adult, politely inviting Mr. Zhou Er to sit in the guest room and even serving him sweet water.

Not long after sitting, Grandpa Qin came back. When he saw Grandpa Zhou Er, he smiled and said, "Nephew Zhou Er is here... We have discussed it and decided to kill the New Year pig tomorrow. You can come and have the pig-killing dinner tomorrow."
