Shao Qingyi didn't know that the two elders of the Huang family were watching his morning exercise, he just felt that his weight loss career was a long way to go.

He only did five squats, and he was already out of breath.

And because there is too much fat on the legs, these five squats are not standard.

Shao Qingyi relied on willpower to do twenty squats, and after doing two sets of leapfrogs back and forth in the yard, her thighs were sore as if they were not her own.

He was so tired that he wanted to collapse on the ground immediately, but years of common sense in fitness told him that what he should do at this time was to stretch his legs to relax and make his muscle lines more graceful and smooth.

After finishing the relaxation exercise, Shao Qingyi took out a hoe from the house and started to work on the rocks in the yard.

The He family didn't even grow any farmland, let alone their own yard.

Unlike the original owner, Shao Qingyi loves farming very much.In modern society, he only rented a single room with a balcony, but it was still full of vegetables and fruits.

In his words, "Why spend money to buy something you can grow yourself?"

The He family's yard is not small, but there are many rocks.This kind of land is not suitable for direct planting, so Shao Qingyi has to hoe the land first to pick out the gravel.

Probably because of the exercise this morning, Shao Qingyi obviously felt that his body was much lighter than yesterday, and soon, he finished hoeing a large area of ​​land.

Shao Qingyi wiped the sweat from her forehead, and was about to continue working, when she heard two crisp shouts from inside the room: "Father Mu!"

It turned out that the two children woke up.

Shao Qingyi smiled at the two children: "You guys wash up first, and I will make breakfast for you when Father-in-law finishes his work."

But the two children ran over and asked curiously, "Father, what are you doing?"

Perhaps it was because of yesterday's experience that the children felt the unprecedented warmth of their mother's father, and now they can also show the unique cuteness of children in front of Shao Qingyi.

While picking stones, Shao Qingyi explained: "I'm going to grow some vegetables here. These stones will affect the growth of crops, so I have to pick out these stones first."

"Then let's help too!" Hearing what Shao Qingyi said, the two children immediately rolled up their sleeves and joined in the stone picking.

Shao Qingyi didn't stop her either. Picking up stones is not a laborious task. There are more people and more strength, and the speed can be faster.

What's more, this work is just a game for children.

There are so many stones in this yard, it took the three of them almost half an hour to finally pick out the stones and pile up a small hill.

Shao Qingyi took out the scallions with roots left over from the kitchen yesterday, and planted them in the newly reclaimed land.

The two children watched their father's actions curiously.

"Father Mu, there is only such a small piece of green onion, why do you want to plant it in the soil?" Cheng Ping asked suspiciously.

Shao Qingyi explained with a smile: "The vitality of plants is very tenacious. Such a small piece can turn into a whole green onion."

"Wow, really?" Because his family didn't farm, Cheng Ping never knew these things. He was very surprised to hear Shao Qingyi say that.

Cheng An didn't speak, but his shining eyes revealed that he was as curious as Cheng Ping.

After planting the scallion, Shao Qingyi washed the hands and faces of the two children, and then poured the washed water on the edge of the scallion just planted.

The farming business of a family of three has officially come to an end, and Shao Qingyi begins to make breakfast for the children.

For breakfast, he was going to make gnocchi with vegetables.

Gnocchi is easy to make and easy to digest. It is very suitable for children as breakfast.

Shao Qingyi first poured one-third of the raw water into the cauldron, and when the fire in the earthen stove stabilized, he covered the pan, took out a large bowl, and started making batter.

He put a few spoonfuls of flour into the large bowl, added water and stirred it into a paste.

Soon, the water in the pot boiled. Shao Qingyi scooped up a spoonful of batter and poured it into the boiling water. One after another, all the batter in the big bowl was poured into the boiling water, forming pieces of gnocchi floating on the surface. .

The chopped vegetables were also put into the pot, and then seasoned with salt.

The quick and delicious green vegetable gnocchi is complete.

Shao Qingyi put the noodles in a small bowl, brought out the remaining scallion pancakes from yesterday, and called the two children to have breakfast together.

It was the first time for the children to eat gnocchi. Looking at the food in the bowl, they were extremely novel.

"Eat it while it's hot." With that said, Shao Qingyi handed each of the two children a spoon.

"Yeah!" The children nodded, took a spoonful of it with a spoon, blew it, and put it in their mouths.

Well, the soft gnocchi slipped into the throat after chewing a few times. The green vegetables were half-cooked, crunchy and refreshing. After drinking the hot noodle soup, the whole person felt warm and felt very comfortable in the stomach.

Is this what it feels like to have a mother?really happy...

The two children glanced at each other, and both saw satisfaction and happiness in each other's eyes.

Shao Qingyi saw the behavior of the two children.

Seeing their satisfied faces made him feel extremely happy.

Halfway through breakfast, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Qingyi, Shao Qingyi!" Someone was calling his name.

who is it?Shao Qingyi was a little puzzled.

The two children were taken aback. They all looked at Shao Qingyi and said with some anxiety, "Father Mu, it's grandma who is here."

grandma?

The person here is Shao Qingyi's mother?The vicious stepmother that the protagonist in the novel suffers from?

"Eat first." Shao Qingyi comforted the frightened two children, then went out to look outside the yard.

I saw a woman who was about the same size as Shao Qingyi, who was a lot older next year but still dressed fancy, knocking on the door.

Seeing Shao Qingyi, the woman's eyes lit up: "Qingyi, you can figure it out. I heard that Chang Ji was injured? How was the injury? How much did you spend for the consultation?"

This series of questions made Shao Qingyi frowned.

It seems that this vicious stepmother is here for money today.

In the novel, the protagonist Shou's stepmother is described as pungent, greedy for money, and loves to take advantage of her. She was married from the county town, and she looks down on Shuiwan Village and the villagers of Shuiwan Village.

In the novel, after He Changji broke his leg, Shao's mother often whispered sarcastic remarks in Shao Qingyi's ear, which made Shao Qingyi more and more dissatisfied with He Changji, and even finally decided to attack the protagonist.

Obviously, Shao's mother was also responsible for the tragic ending of the He family.

After reviewing the plot of the novel, Shao Qingyi sorted out her mood, and was mentally prepared to have a fight with Shao's mother. She opened the door and took the initiative to attack: "Mom, why are you here?"

"Look at what you said, you have such a big incident, can mother not come?" Shao's mother shook the silk scarf on her hand in an exaggerated tone, and said, "By the way, you haven't answered what mother asked you just now. What! How is Chang Ji's injury, and how much did you spend for the consultation?"

"Chang Ji's injury is a bit serious, and he is still being treated in the hospital." Shao Qingyi replied, "As for the consultation fee, don't worry, mother, I will figure it out myself."

"The injury is so serious?" Shao's mother was taken aback when she heard the words, and then she said in pain, "Li Papi not only charges a daily consultation fee but also a meal fee. Aren't you usually very smart? How could this happen?" You are so stupid, letting Chang Ji live with him is a waste of money?"

Listening to Mother Shao's words, Shao Qingyi frowned slightly in disgust.However, the food expenses are charged separately?He really doesn't know...

"What do you mean you can figure out how to pay for the consultation? I remember that you should have saved at least five or six taels of silver?" Shao's mother continued to ask, "Could it be that the five or six taels of silver are not enough to see an injury?"

Shao Qingyi remained silent, thinking to herself that it seemed that the original owner didn't give Shao's mother all the heart and soul, and didn't tell her the exact deposit amount.

Shao's mother saw that Shao Qingyi didn't return, and continued: "You silly boy, don't be fooled and you don't know. Tell mother, how much did you spend?"

"Mother, did you just want to know about Chang Ji when you came today?" Shao Qingyi didn't answer directly, but asked Shao's mother instead.

"Of course, Chang Ji is my son-in-law, so why don't I care about it!" Shao's mother responded immediately, and then added, "By the way, I also want to ask if you have any extra fur here..."

"Fur?" Shao Qingyi frowned.

"Yeah, your brother is doing well in school, and was picked up by the master to participate in a study tour in the county seat. The cost of the county seat is much higher than that of Shuiwan Village, so I thought about exchanging furs for some copper coins, and let your brother take him with him. Well!" When Mother Shao mentioned her youngest son, she had a big smile on her face, full of pride.

Seeing Shao's mother's proficiency, it is obviously not the first time that the He family's animal fur has been exchanged for money to subsidize the family.Taking things from the son-in-law's family to support his youngest son is something that only Shao's mother can do.

However, what Shao's mother said gave Shao Qingyi a new way of thinking about making money.

He Changji is a hunter, so he must have stored fur at home. Selling fur is indeed a good way to make money quickly.

There was no mention of fur sales in the novel, so in order to understand the market, Shao Qingyi pretended to ask casually: "How much did you sell for those last time?"

"Hey, I sold it for less than one or two taels of silver." Speaking of this, Shao's mother became angry, "Who made this small Shuiwan village only have one shop, Hubazi, to collect furs! If you sell them in the county, one piece Rabbit skins can be sold for seven or eight hundred cash, and those five rabbit skins can probably be sold for three or four taels of silver!"

Thus, Shao Qingyi successfully learned about the fur market from Shao's mother.

The price level in Shuiwan Village is low, and the purchase price of fur is also low. If you go to the county town, you can sell it for three to four times the price.

Therefore, if he wants to make money by selling fur, he must go to the county town, otherwise he will only make a difference to the middleman.

Thinking of the information Shao's mother mentioned just now, Shao Qingyi asked, "When will my brother go to the county?"

"The morning after tomorrow." Mother Shao replied, "Time is running out, otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you at this juncture."

"Well, I'll go to the county seat with my brother the day after tomorrow." Shao Qingyi suddenly showed a warm smile, "I just want to go to the county seat to do something, and if my brother needs money, I'll pay him directly. That's it."

"What are you going to do in the county?" Shao's mother asked suspiciously, "You have been very lazy since you were a child, let alone leaving the village, even the door, why are you so diligent this time, and want to go to the county?"

"Hey, isn't this Chang Ji's injury? I don't have a pillar in my family, how can I be as lazy as before!" Shao Qingyi replied with both truth and falsehood, and then changed the topic to the matter of going to the county seat, " My younger brother is young, and it is not safe to hold money, so I will accompany you, so you can feel more at ease, mother."

Shao's mother thought for a while, and felt that what Shao Qingyi said made sense, so she agreed: "That's fine, you can go with me when the time comes. The cost in the county town is not comparable to that in Shuiwan Village, and a meal can cost several hundred Wen , you can bring more money, so as not to be inconvenient when you get there."

"Got it." Shao Qingyi nodded.

Shao's mother told Shao Qingyi the place and time of departure, and repeatedly asked him not to forget.

After receiving repeated assurances, Shao's mother left.

Sending Shao's mother away, Shao Qingyi closed the door, and when she turned her head, she saw that the two children were leaning against the door for some time, with most of their bodies hidden in the room, with only two little heads peeking out.

Shao Qingyi couldn't help feeling amused: "Have you two finished eating?"

The two little heads nodded in unison. Seeing that grandma had gone far away, they rushed out and asked in unison, "Father, are you going to the county seat?"

"Yes, Father Mu is going to the county town to earn medical expenses for your father." Shao Qingyi didn't intend to hide it from the two children, "When the time comes, Chengping Cheng'an, you should stay at home obediently and don't run around, you know? "

"Okay." Both children nodded obediently, but there was still a trace of uneasiness in their expressions.

Seeing this, Shao Qingyi began to ponder, is it not safe for two young children to stay at home alone?Although Cheng Ping Chengan is very well-behaved, but after all, he is too young...

Otherwise, please ask the neighbors to look after it?
