Farmhouse is so old

Zhou Xiaohua took the silver and went to various houses to pay back some. Although she still owed a lot, it relieved her burden a little, and she was very grateful to her brother-in-law.

"Mother, look at my new clothes." Liu Tai happily said to his mother while holding the new cotton clothes Tang Qing bought.

"Where did you get these clothes?" Mrs. Liu couldn't help asking, but the family didn't have money to buy them. The clothes were not light, but there were actually cotton inside, and she was full of doubts.

"I ran into Tiantian's uncle in town today, and he bought it for me."

That's right, I heard that the brother-in-law of the second younger brother and sister is quite capable, even the bride price is gold, buying clothes is nothing, at least my son has looked after her for a few years, now it's not bad to get a suit of clothes, A few days ago, my mother-in-law sent some things. It seems that I can finally relax for two days this year.Aunt Liu thought in her heart that the resentment towards her younger siblings in the past few years has become a little less.

No matter what everyone in the Liu family thought, Tang Qing and Zhou Qing still had a lot of things waiting for them to buy. "Is the life of the second sister's family not good?" Tang Qing looked at Zhou Qing while shopping.Seeing that since he separated from Zhou Xiaohua just now, his expression has been bad.

Zhou Qing didn't know what to say when he heard the words, so he said after a long time: "In fact, everything is fine. If you don't talk to our family, you can be regarded as a good family in the village. My mother-in-law is sensible, and my sister-in-law is not unreasonable. Back then, the two Before my sister got married, my parents were all inquiring and inquiring, so it's not bad, but our countryside is remote, so it's not as good as the ones in the town, who didn't grow up wearing patched clothes and eating coarse grains, it's rare There are people who can afford new clothes, these days before I married you, I would never have dared to think about it."

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he sighed softly again.

"Alright, shopkeeper Wu just asked me to concoct a batch of medicinal materials. Why don't we ask a few relatives' children to come over and help out, give them some money a month, and buy them two new clothes. Look how good it is." After listening to Zhou Qing's words, Tang Qing also understood that it was not that Zhou Xiaohua's family was poor, but that everyone in the village was poor.Then he remembered the matter that Shopkeeper Wu asked him to do so. He was worried that there would be no one to help him, and he thought of Zhou Xiaohua's nephew, Liu Tai, a teenage child who could always help out.

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up when he heard Tang Qing's words. He hadn't heard what Tang Qing and the others were talking about in the "Rejuvenation Hall" just now. It can help a few older sisters without embarrassing them. After all, it is better for a child to come over than an adult to help out.

Seeing the joy on Zhou Qing's face, Tang Qing knew what he was thinking in his heart. In fact, he also wanted to do his little bit because of the good character of Zhou Qing's family.Although each family has their own little thoughts, but the advantage is that they don't take the initiative to take advantage of other families.Will come out to help if something happens.In fact, thinking about it, it's true, the broken bones of the villagers are still connected to each other. Now that he married Zhou Qing, he can be regarded as a member of the family.As for those small thoughts in private, everyone, including Tang Qing, borrowed Zhou Qing's name to gain a firm foothold in this village.

After buying the things that need to be bought, Tang Qing went to tell shopkeeper Wu about the medicinal materials. Shopkeeper Wu was full of joy and paid 20 taels of wages first.

Only then did Tang Qing follow the clerk of the cloth shop back to the village in a carriage, but the carriage couldn't get into the village, and Tang Qing bought a lot, so he went home by himself to pick up baskets and Zhou Qing carried them back home. There was another commotion in the village.

"I didn't see it. That boy Qing's family is rich. Did you see that today, he went to the town and brought him back in a carriage, and even picked several baskets out of baskets."

"Isn't that right? I saw several batches of cotton cloth. Let's see who in our village can afford cotton clothes except the village chief."

"Isn't it? Who would have thought that the poor boy's family was so rich back then, and now he can see a doctor and earn money. In the future, this brother Qing will have a good life."

Some gossip people gathered at the head of the village, talking about the family's short stories, and the three words cannot be separated from the word Tang Qing. Envious, speak sourly.

"Qing'er, go and invite some people in the village who know how to make kangs, why do we have to make more kangs?" As soon as he got home, there was a lot of work waiting for Tang Qing.

Zhou Qing ran out as soon as he heard Tang Qing's words, and went to the village to call a few people.

The last time when the new house was being built, Tang Qing went to the back mountain to dig the soil on the kang. Tang Qing carried the baskets and went to the place where the soil was dug. Taking two steps at a time, he ran over to help him take over the burden and said, "Husband, you can just rest, and I will do the rough work."

Tang Qing rubbed his sore shoulders and was about to say something, but seeing Zhou Qing walking home quickly with a load on his shoulders, he could only smile wryly from behind.

"Brother Qing is capable." The few people who followed Zhou Qing joked when they saw this scene, and Tang Qing smiled embarrassedly.

"Come here, give me a hand to help dig the soil back, boy Qing, you put the pit in that house." An older man in the crowd interrupted everyone, and then asked Tang Qing.

"Third uncle, I want the east room, and the west room has two kangs." Tang Qing answered honestly when he heard Uncle Wednesday's question.

"Why do you have so many kangs?" Uncle Zhou couldn't help being a little puzzled. It's okay to have one for each room, but why do you need two for each room.

"It's not that I picked up a batch of work from the shopkeeper Wu in the town, and I have to get it out a few years ago. It's already winter, so there's no sun left, so I can only use this kang to dry it." This happened in a few days. Everyone in the village would know about it, and they couldn't hide it, so they simply told it openly for everyone to hear.

When everyone heard that Tang Qing was actually able to pick up jobs in the town, they all praised him for his ability, and Tang Qing had no choice but to play haha ​​and fool around.This kind of ability is nothing, it turns out that he sometimes earns several million a day, but now he has seen it, he doesn't have too much ambition, and he doesn't want to make money, he just wants to keep his wife and children on the bed life.

Tang Qing glanced at Zhou Qing, who was busy, and it was true that he was ordinary.

"Brother Qing, don't call us if there is anything at home. Dad will only find out after listening to what the villagers say." Zhou Dafu, who rushed over after hearing the sound, was a little annoyed.

"Father." Zhou Qing and Tang Qing shouted in unison.

"You know I'm your father." Zhou Dafu glanced at Zhou Qing angrily, then said to Tang Qing with a smile: "What's the matter with the family, just call Dad, who still has strength."

Zhou Qing rolled his eyes when he saw that his father treated him and Tang Qing differently, but because one was his own father and the other was his husband, he could say nothing, so he had to concentrate on his work.

"Father, it's good that you come here. I'm relieved to have you in charge of this family. As for the work, let us young ones come." Tang Qing flattered his father-in-law as soon as he came up, and looked at Zhou Dafu With a bright smile all over his face, he felt at ease.

"Okay, okay, Dad will watch over you, and I will never let them cut corners for you." Zhou Dafu said so with joy in his heart.But with household items in hand, he started to work.

Seeing that Tang Qing couldn't be persuaded, he also joined the ranks of work. Seven or eight people came, and Tang Qing and the others included a dozen or so people, four kangs, and they were ready in one afternoon.Zhou Qing took some dry firewood and burned the kang. The new kang needs to be dried before it can be used.

After paying everyone's wages, Tang Qing and Zhou Qing went to the kitchen to entertain Zhou Dafu.

"Hey, there's still wine." Zhou Dafu saw that Tang Qing had brought out the wine, and quickly took it and poured himself and Tang Qing a glass.Take a sip: "Good wine, good wine."

"It's bought in the town, and it costs three coins a jar." Zhou Qing brought a few dishes and explained to his father.

"It's so expensive." Zhou Dafu looked at the wine jar carefully when he heard it, but he was reluctant to pour it out and just ate the vegetables.

"Father, you can drink as much as you want. There are quite a few at home, so don't worry about drinking it." Seeing that Zhou Dafu was reluctant to drink, Tang Qing took out another jar and poured it for Zhou Dafu again.

Seeing Tang Qing like this, Zhou Dafu thought it was a waste, the two jars would cost more than half a tael: "Oh, I have a jar here, why tear down another jar."

"Father, you're not willing to give me a drink." Zhou Qing saw the reluctance in Zhou Dafu's eyes, and quickly persuaded him.

"Father is happy, dad is happy, come and drink."

A dinner is not over until the moon is hanging high.Zhou Shan, Zhou He came over early and waited for his father to pick him up.Zhou Qing added another pair of bowls and chopsticks for them. After Zhou Dafu had finished eating, he said goodbye to Tang Qing and helped Zhou Dafu go home.

"Oh, old man, why do you drink so much?" Wang Xi'er was already impatient waiting at home, and when she saw Zhou Dafu coming back drunk, she immediately felt dissatisfied.

"Hi." Zhou Dafu hiccupped and said drunkenly: "Your brother-in-law entertained me with a jar of wine for three renminbi, can I not drink it? I have never had such an expensive wine in my life. Woolen cloth."

"Then what are you drinking so much for? Isn't kid Qing's money money?" Wang Xier fetched a basin of water and rubbed Zhou Dafu's face with a tease.

"I'm also reluctant. Kid Qing keeps pouring it for me. Can I not drink it?" Zhou Dafu couldn't see the meaning behind Wang Xier's words.

"Oh, I feel comfortable at last." Zhou Dafu sighed while lying comfortably on the bed after washing up.

"Look at your worthless appearance." Wang Xi'er also washed up, took out the medicine Tang Qing had prepared for her, poured a few pills into the palm of her hand, and swallowed it with warm water.

"My child, it will be better after taking this medicine."

"It's much better. I feel much more relaxed now. I used to feel bad, but now I don't feel that way anymore." Speaking of this, Wang Xi'er felt like she was five years younger. Those pains before were reduced a lot, and she walked two steps. I feel tired, and now I am relaxed, but I am much younger.

When Zhou Dafu heard this, he was filled with emotion for a while.How many diseases that doctors can't cure, but now he has cured him, it's really rejuvenating, and thinking that he is his son-in-law, I feel even happier.
