Farming fish and water love each other

Chapter 63

After an autumn rain, the temperature dropped a lot. Yesterday, I was able to wear a coat before walking outside, but today it was unbearably cold.

"Xiaoyu, you have time today to bring the pig's trotter soup stewed in the kitchen to Brother Liu Li." Li Qiuer stood at the door of the kitchen and directed Yan Dali to clean up the yard while shouting at Yan Xiaoyu.

Seeing that the weather was getting colder, Yan Shan's family started busy moving things into the cellar.Yan Dali and Li Meier are just newlyweds and their relationship is just right, they stick together every day, Yan Xiaoyu is also happy to go out for a walk, so that he can save himself from watching them at home.

"Hey, let's go." Yan Xiaoyu wrung out the washed clothes and hung them up, dried his hands and walked into the kitchen.

"Mum, I'll go then." After packing the basket, Yan Xiaoyu said hello and went out, "I'll go to Wu Amu's side to see when I'm done, come back later."

Yan Xiaoyu was walking slowly on the road, and the casserole of pig's trotter soup that E'Mu had stew was almost overflowing, he was really afraid of spilling it if he walked too fast.

The day before Yan Dali's wedding, Liu Li, who was helping at home, fainted, but only after he invited a doctor to check his pulse did he know that he was pregnant.Firstly, Li Qiuer felt guilty because Liu Li was helping her to faint at home; secondly, she also cared about Liu Li because Liu Li and Zheng Ke's family were both old people, and since she knew about it, she was always in a hurry. never broke.

Knowing that his brother-in-law and daughter-in-law were pregnant, Zheng Ruo was so happy that he didn't know what to do. The next day, he drove a donkey cart to Yan Xiaoyu's house and brought a whole slaughtered pig to Yan Xiaoyu's house, but he just kept his mouth open for a long time and didn't say anything. In a word.

Thinking of this, Yan Xiaoyu thought it was funny, Zheng Ru had been used to having a straight face for many years, this time it was rare for his brother and daughter-in-law to keep a good health, and kept talking to Eminem with a smile on his face, but the smile was very stiff.

"Brother Liu Li, I'm here to bring you food." Yan Xiaoyu knocked on the wooden door.

"Here comes the little fish." Zheng Chrome opened the door from the inside with a smile on his face.During this period of time, he was in a good mood because Liu Li was pregnant with a child, and he often had a smile on his face, which seemed much more natural.

"A Li fell asleep. My hands and feet are clumsy, and the dishes I made at noon are not delicious. A Li probably vomited because she was uncomfortable after eating..." Zheng Ru rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "I was just thinking about finding Li A Please help, it turned out... hehe."

"Well, Brother Zheng, don't blame yourself. Cooking is a slow practice. Ah Mu said that the whole pig you sent last time has already figured out what to eat for Brother Liu Li. When the time comes You don’t have to think about it when it’s ready. Also, Ah Mu asked me to tell you that when Brother Liu Li is in better health, let him go out for a walk often, and come to my house to sit and sit. This is good for both adults and children "Yan Xiaoyu handed the casserole in the basket to Zheng Chrome, told him to reheat it and remember to skim off the oil, and then went to Yan Cheng's house with the basket on his back.

Now Yan Xiaoyu understands why every time Brother Liu Li talks about Butcher Zheng, he always smiles. It's really rare for a person to do things for you that he didn't want to do before.Ah Cheng can do it, but...

Thinking of Yan Cheng, Yan Xiaoyu had black lines on his face. This guy actually followed old man Zheng secretly the next day after Yan Dali got married. Madam Zheng.

No matter what, I finally appeased Wu Amu, but considering the anger on Wu Amu's face these days, I'm afraid Yancheng will be a good beater when he comes back this time!

Yan Xiaoyu shook his head and ran to listen to Wu Amu's nagging, and offered two fires by the way, so that Yan Cheng could get a big meal when he came back.

After staying at home for another two days, Yan Xiaoyu couldn't stay any longer.Brother Liu Li has gotten better recently, so he started to come to sit at home, together with Li Meier who wanted to have children, and two Li Qiuer and Wu Xiuer who wanted to be elders.Yan Xiaoyu's ears were tortured every day, and he finally found an excuse to go to the town to live with Madam Zheng for a few days.

Because old man Zheng went out with Yan Cheng, Yan Xiaoyu and Madam Zheng usually lived alone in the pharmacy, and their relationship improved a lot.Yan Xiaoyu now knows that Nanny Zheng has a very elegant name named Xu Qinghe, and her hometown is in the capital.Seeing Xu Qinghe sitting on the stool with his head lowered and reading a book, Yan Xiaoyu instinctively felt that his life experience must be not simple, and he did not look like a person who could be raised by ordinary people.

"Mrs. Zheng, I want to go out for a walk." Yan Xiaoyu closed the ledger and stood up. After reading it all afternoon, his brain hurts a lot.

"Go ahead, it's good to go out for a walk more." Xu Qinghe nodded with a smile.

Yan Xiaoyu walked slowly along the Qinghe River, and heard the sound of festive gongs and drums not far away, as if a new store had opened.I remembered hearing from the clerk at the pharmacy that a nearby restaurant opened today, and that the new restaurant was opened by a pregnant man.

With curiosity, Yan Xiaoyu walked into this restaurant.As expected, there were not as many people sitting and eating inside as there were watching the fun outside.

In a small town like Qinghe, although no one forbids the little brother to show his face in public, it is very rare for the little brother to do business by himself.What's more, the owner of this restaurant is not only a little brother who is pregnant, but also came alone, so it is inevitable that there will be people muttering.

"Everyone." Yan Xiaoyu was thinking with his eyes down, and when he heard the voice, he raised his eyes and saw a very clean-looking boy standing on the steps connecting the first and second floors.

"Thank you folks for coming to join us. Qu Jing is here for the first time, and I will rely on your help in the future. Any meal you order here today will give you a red bean dim sum." Xu Shi was concerned about the protruding belly, and Qu Jing slowly walked down.

As soon as the words fell, the people who were still watching the excitement just found their seats and sat down.Although this red bean dim sum is not an expensive item, it is still very popular to give it for free.

For a moment, Xiao Er's shouts could be heard from the whole restaurant, Yan Xiaoyu chose a seat by the window and tilted his head to look at Qu Jing.This person remained calm under so many strange eyes, greeting various guests back and forth.

Xu Shi noticed it, and Qu Jing turned to look at Yan Xiaoyu.Being caught, Yan Xiaoyu was embarrassed for a while.He raised his hand and touched his nose, just as the waiter came over to ask him what he wanted to eat, he quickly turned his head and pretended to listen carefully to the list of dishes given by the waiter.

"Guest officer, what do you want to order?" Xiao Er looked at Yan Xiaoyu with a smile on his face after reporting the name of the dish.

"..." Yan Xiaoyu opened his mouth and looked at the waiter's expectant eyes and coughed dryly, "Can you say it again?"

"..." The waiter's smile froze on his face. He was brought over by Qu Jing from his hometown. After seeing too many people who came to find work for his master before the shop opened, he thought that Yan Xiaoyu was also a troublemaker.

"Why don't you try bad goose palm and sugar-steamed crispy cheese? It's convenient to take home a side dish and a snack." Qu Jing's words relieved Yan Xiaoyu, and he nodded quickly in agreement.

"Don't get me wrong, Xiao Le is not like this usually, it's just that the shop has been busy recently, and he's a little suspicious." Qu Jing signaled Xiao Le, the waiter in the shop, to go to the back kitchen to prepare food, and sat down opposite Yan Xiaoyu.

"Oh, it's okay." Yan Xiaoyu replied with a smile, his eyes unconsciously turned to Qu Jing's stomach.Although Liu Li is also pregnant, but because of Yue Yue's small belly, Qu Jing is the first little brother with a big belly that Yan Xiaoyu has seen since coming here.

"It's been six months." Qu Jing stroked his stomach with a loving expression. He didn't dislike Yan Xiaoyu's gaze, because he felt that Yan Xiaoyu looked at his stomach without malice, but mostly in surprise.

"Aren't you tired?" Yan Xiaoyu asked with concern.

"Fortunately, I..."

"Hey, Boss Qu is opening today, why didn't he send us a message." Qu Jing's words were interrupted by the noise from outside, and he stood up frowning.It happened that Xiao Le brought Yan Xiaoyu's packaged dishes over, and then he heard a voice standing beside Qu Jing vigilantly.

"Well, you..." Qu Jing opened his mouth but didn't know Yan Xiaoyu's name.

"My name is Yan Xiaoyu." Yan Xiaoyu said quickly.

"Xiaoyu, I'm quite busy here today, let's talk another day, and treat this meal as my invitation." After speaking, Qu Jing turned and left without giving Yan Xiaoyu a chance.

"Hey, guest officer, for your food, I think you should go out through the side door, the main door is blocked." Xiao Le handed the food box to Yan Xiaoyu and beckoned for a helper to send him out.

"..." Yan Xiaoyu stood on the side of the street holding a food box with his mouth half open. Seeing that the entrance of the store was blocked, he knew that today was not the time to talk, and his little brother couldn't help here. Busy, going in again will just add to the chaos.

"Grandma." Yan Xiaoyu looked at the empty pharmacy a little strangely, obviously the shop assistants were still there when he went out in the morning, and it wasn't time for a break.

"Xiaoyu is back." Xu Qinghe walked out of the house, "I asked them to go out to do some things. What did you buy?"

"Oh." Yan Xiaoyu nodded and walked into the room, and laid out the dishes in the food box, "Today, there is a new restaurant opening, so I went to have a look, and bought two small dishes along the way."

Xu Qinghe sat down, took the chopsticks from Yan Xiaoyu, took a piece of bad goose palm and chewed it slowly in his mouth. After a while, he smiled, "Yanzhou Qujia."

"Ah?" Yan Xiaoyu didn't react.

"Have you met the owner of that restaurant?" Xu Qinghe didn't answer Yan Xiaoyu's question.

"Well, I've seen it." Yan Xiaoyu thought that Qu Jing was supporting the restaurant alone, and it must be difficult for a brother who was pregnant. I didn’t rush to give it to him, I thought about waiting to go back and give it to him.”

"You, it's a good thing to be simple and honest, but it's also easy to be deceived by others. You jump to conclusions when you meet someone just once." Xu Qinghe paused when he said that, seeing Yan Xiaoyu bowed his head in response, and then Knowing that I am unconsciously holding my own standards to ask others.He shook his head and said with a smile: "Hey, Grandma thinks too much. Qu Jing is a hard man, but he is a good person. Xiao Yu can try to make friends."

"No, Grandma is doing it for my own good." Yan Xiaoyu said with a smile, "Grandma knows him?"

"Well, I've met a few times." Xu Qinghe thought for a while and smiled: "But he was young at the time and I'm afraid he won't remember it. No matter what, I was entrusted by the old man to take care of him. You don't have to worry about it." .When there is nothing to do in the shop, you can go to his side for a walk.”

"Yes, I see." Yan Xiaoyu nodded in response.

With Xu Qinghe's consent, Yan Xiaoyu originally planned to deliver food boxes and food money in the afternoon, but Qu Jing came to thank him in person.

But it turned out that after Yan Xiaoyu left in the morning, someone went to the restaurant to rescue Qu Jing, and this person was naturally sent by Xu Qinghe.Old man Zheng has opened a pharmacy in Qinghe Town for many years, so the forces in the open and in the dark should not be underestimated.With his support, it became easier for Qu Jing to open a restaurant in Qinghe Town.

Xu Qinghe didn't refuse Qu Jing's thank you gift, but he didn't talk to him too much, and went into the house with the excuse of being tired.In fact, except for Yan Cheng, who saved his life, and Yan Xiaoyu, who accidentally closed his eyes, Xu Qingping is not willing to talk to anyone.Yan Xiaoyu accidentally fell in love with Qu Jing, the two chatted for a long time and made an appointment for the next meeting before they separated.

Xu Qinghe usually doesn't talk much, and Yan Xiaoyu has no other acquaintances in the town. Now that he met Qu Jing, who he hits off with, he is naturally closer. He often goes to the restaurant to visit Qu Jing in the spare time of the medicine shop.Looking at Qu Jing, who was busy with the opening of the business and his feet were not touching the ground, Yan Xiaoyu offered to help him sort out the restaurant's account books and stock up on household supplies.

It wasn't until one month after the restaurant opened that Qu Jing gradually got used to it.During this period, he and Yan Xiaoyu also talked about everything, and the relationship was very good.

Because of this, Yan Xiaoyu knew that Qu Jing was actually forced out. He married a person he liked since childhood but didn't like him.And that person used him a lot, and he still didn't like him until the end.Qu Jing has a bold personality and came to the town with money and was not discouraged, but worked hard to run the restaurant.

Qu Jing smiled and said to Xiao Yu that he never regrets his past choices, people always have to look forward.Now that he has money, a restaurant, a child, and a friend like Yan Xiaoyu, God has treated him well.Yan Xiaoyu's admiration was added to his sympathy, and he even liked to come here to join in the fun and learn from Qu Jing.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Cheng has been away for more than two months, the weather is getting warmer, and the New Year is approaching.Yancheng's last reply letter was half a month ago, and he mentioned in the letter that he would be back soon.

Yan Xiaoyu was helping to look at the ledger in the Qujing restaurant. It was past meal time and there were not many customers in the restaurant.The two chatted one after another.

"By the way, when I went home a few days ago, Ah Mu made some children's clothes, and I brought them along. I'll bring them to you tonight." Yan Xiaoyu put the accounts back into the cupboard Locked it up and handed the key back to Qu Jing.

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you, Li Ah." Qu Jing pushed Yan Xiaoyu's hand back, and said, "I asked the doctor to take a look, and it should be born after the Chinese New Year. I have explained everything about the restaurant to you." Uncle Zhong and Xiao Le, but you know that Uncle Zhong will inevitably lack mental strength when he is old, and Xiao Le is a stubborn person who is not familiar with the accounts at all. I want you to take a hand, and I will be relieved to help me look at the accounts when the time comes. "

"This account is a big deal, I'm not suitable." Yan Xiaoyu shook his head decisively.

"Don't rush to reject me. I don't know anyone else here, Xiaoyu. I trust you. And you are really good at keeping accounts. You can't just read the accounts in the pharmacy in the future. I think I'll hire you to be me." Mr. Accountant, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to run around, work harder.” Qu Jing would inevitably get tired after sitting with a big belly for a long time, so he supported the table and stood up.

"Let me think about it." Yan Xiaoyu stretched out his hand to support Qu Jing, but did not refuse.In winter, he was already wearing thick clothes, which made his stomach look bigger and bigger. Now Qu Jing could no longer see the road under his feet.Yan Xiaoyu, who would shake slightly every time he walked, felt startled.

"I won't come to the town during the Chinese New Year, so I don't worry about you. I heard from Aunt Zheng that they will return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year when Old Man Zheng and Brother Yan Cheng come back. Then you will be in the town. There are no acquaintances, why don't you come back to Yanjia Village with me."

"No need." Knowing Yan Xiaoyu's kindness, Qu Jing said with a smile, "Don't you still have Uncle Zhong and Xiao Le, nothing can go wrong."

"So what's the matter?" Yan Xiaoyu was a little anxious, thinking that Ah Mu had told him about the danger of this little brother giving birth before going back to town this time, so he made up his mind to take him to his home to wait for the delivery.

"Uncle Zhong and Xiao Le are both fathers, how do they know this. You forgot what the doctor said when he fainted a while ago!"

"This..." Qu Jing fell silent, bowed his head and stood there.Yan Xiaoyu knew he was thinking and didn't bother.

"Then I'll go and bother you." Thinking of Langzhong saying that he was injured during pregnancy and had an impact on the fetus, Qu Jing was also worried about accidents during childbirth, so he agreed.This child was what he had been looking forward to for a long time, so naturally he didn't dare to take the slightest risk.

"Don't bother, if you really feel embarrassed, you can bring some food from the restaurant. Every time you let me pack and bring back, Eminem and sister-in-law like it very much." Seeing this, Yan Xiaoyu was moved. Very happy, just kidding.

"Oh, that's a good idea. You see what you like to write, and we'll take it with us when we go back."

"That's fine, I'm not being polite to you."

Because I asked Xu Qinghe from the beginning, and knew that he had to rush back to the capital before making an appointment with Old Man Zheng for Laba.Now that he got Qujing's promise, Yan Xiaoyu started to buy some new year's goods, and went back to Yanjia Village when Laba came.

This day, Yan Xiaoyu was busy with the pharmacy, and heard from the clerk that Xu Qinghe had fallen asleep and walked out of the shop to go to the cloth shop.Xu Qinghe's body was broken in the early years, and he didn't like to move more and more in winter. Every time he went to bed early after eating, because he was afraid that Yan Xiaoyu would be bored staying in the pharmacy, so he simply asked him to move to live with Qujing .

A few days ago, Yan Xiaoyu fell in love with a piece of fabric in a cloth store. It was bright in color and soft in texture, very suitable for making children's clothes.It's just that the stock was out of stock at that time, and he wanted more, so the owner of the cloth shop made an order with him and went to see it today.

When he arrived at the cloth shop, Yan Xiaoyu was delighted to see that the cloth he had been looking at a few days ago had indeed arrived, and there were still many colors and patterns to choose from. Yan Xiaoyu was very happy and slowly began to choose.Qu Jing is about to give birth, Brother Liu Li is also pregnant with a child, the eldest brother and his sister-in-law are in a good relationship, and Eun has been looking forward to having a grandson, even if the family will have a baby next year.Yan Xiaoyu made a selection and asked the shop assistant to record it.

After finishing the selection of the children's clothes, I thought that it would be better to make new ones because most of the clothes are old for the Chinese New Year. My father's should also be made... After doing some calculations, even the little stones from the uncle's house were not left behind, Hui Yue The person who records the cloth style around Yu has changed from a buddy to a shopkeeper.

This year was Yan Xiaoyu's first year earning money, the wages Xu Qinghe and Qu Jing gave were also what Yan Cheng left for him when he left.Since they don't have to go out for a long time and have no expenses, they have saved up now, Yan Xiaoyu simply bought them for everyone.

Because Yan Xiaoyu bought a lot, the owner of the cloth shop automatically lowered the price without waiting for him to bargain, and even asked the shop shelf to help him send it back.

"Stop!" Yan Xiaoyu and the clerk of the cloth shop were walking towards Qujing's restaurant when they heard a commotion not far behind, and then a figure rushed from behind, and the clerk of the cloth shop was hit unexpectedly. Almost fell down.
