Back to the Countryside

"Daughter-in-law, why are you here?" Lin Sheng looked at Wu Yulan in surprise as she came out carrying a basket.

Wu Yulan glanced at He Zhen, who had an unattractive face, snorted coldly, and walked to Lin Sheng, "I didn't think Brother Ling would be bored at home alone to accompany him, but it was almost noon and I was going back Home cooking, why are you all standing at the door?"

"Mister!" He Ling saw Qi Yue and greeted him.

Qi Yue softened his brows and eyes, and stretched out his hand to embrace him, "Do you miss me?"

He Ling blushed immediately, and although he didn't push him away, he didn't dare to look at Wu Yulan and the others, "Someone is here!"

Wu Yulan's eyes were full of narrow eyes, and she was very happy to see that their relationship was so good.

Lin Sheng chuckled twice, caught sight of He Zhen with an ugly expression, and then remembered what his daughter-in-law said, "He Zhen is waiting at the door. We will see you when we get back, so there will be a delay!"

When He Ling heard what he said, he glanced at He Zhen. Thinking of the previous incident, he felt uncomfortable, so he turned his eyes away from him.

But Wu Yulan smiled coldly, and said, "What? I didn't pour enough dirty water on Brother Ling in front of the villagers, and I plan to pour two more pots of dirty water on Brother Qi!"

"What's wrong? He's bullying people again?" Lin Sheng immediately answered the conversation, thinking that he would sincerely admit his mistakes. This doesn't seem to be the case!

"Brother Qi really can't do anything about my illness?" He Zhen didn't care about other things now, and just waited for Qi Yue to ask again.

Qi Yue shook his head without hesitation, "No!"

He Zhen pondered for a moment, and then said: "Then can I trouble Brother Qi to send me to the town tomorrow?"

Qi Yue frowned slightly, and wanted to refuse, but someone pulled his sleeve. He looked down and saw He Ling looking at him. He understood the meaning in his eyes, but he was puzzled, so he didn't ask. He only raised his head and said to He Zhen, "Yes, come and find me tomorrow morning!"

"Thank you, Brother Qi!" He Zhen thanked her, then wrapped her head and face with a cloth scarf again, turned and left.

"Brother Qi, why did you answer him?" Wu Yulan's face was a bit ugly. He Zhen's quarrel with He Ling earlier had already made those long-tongued women think about the relationship between Qi Yue and He Zhen. She was sure Well, it doesn't take until tomorrow for a rumor to spread throughout the village. At this juncture, sending him to the town for medical treatment would add fuel to the fire!

Qi Yue didn't answer, he looked at He Ling and said, "I also want to know why?"

His question made Wu Yulan and Lin Sheng stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked over.

He Ling tightened his grip on his sleeves, he lowered his eyes, and said in a tired voice, "Help him one more time, whether it's cured or not, from now on, the affairs of the He family have nothing to do with me!"

"You silly boy!" Wu Yulan felt a little distressed. After all these years of working in the He family, they beat him or scolded him. He never complained, because they were always his blood relatives. He has treated him kindly, and he will never forget his kindness. What he did this time really hurt his heart!

Lin Sheng put his arms around his daughter-in-law's shoulder, and patted her comfortingly. He understood the sadness in her heart.

"In the future, you only need to care about me!" Qi Yue brushed the hair from He Ling's cheeks behind his ears, and lightly lifted his face so that he could look at him.

He Ling looked into his eyes, as if he was about to indulge in that tenderness!

"Oh, it's getting late, go back and cook, go back and cook!" Seeing that the two of them had forgotten about others, Wu Yulan, who was not sad or not, waved at them and dragged Lin Sheng who was still a little unaware of the situation. and left.

He Ling watched Wu Yulan put the basket into Lin Sheng's hand for him to take while walking, and scolded him for not knowing how to look at him, so he couldn't help laughing, "Brother Lin and Yulan's sister-in-law have such a good relationship!"

Seeing that He Ling was happy, Qi Yue felt happy too, "We are fine too!"

He Ling looked back at him, reached out to grab his shoulders for the first time, and took the initiative to kiss him on the cheek, "Qi Yue, it's good to know you!"

Feeling the soft touch on his cheek, Qi Yue's eyes darkened, he calmed down, still looking gentle, "It's noon, what should we eat?"

He Ling didn't notice that he teased someone at all, he thought for a while and said, "Shall I bake stuffed pie for you?"

"Okay!" Qi Yue agreed, and led him into the house.

He Ling used to make stuffed pies at He's house. They used whole grain noodles and the fillings were wild vegetables.What Qi Yue bought was fine food, white noodles and pork stuffing, the cakes were baked golden, and the pork was fat and thin, and it was delicious after a bite!

He also mixed carrots, fried a plate of hot and sour potato shreds, and made egg drop soup. Qi Yue was very satisfied after eating, not only sighed in his heart, it is good to have a husband!

He Ling seemed a little worried, after washing the dishes, Qi Yue pinched his cheek and asked, "What's wrong?"

He Ling hesitated for a while, and then said: "Sir, should we... be more frugal?"

Qi Yue came to the village to buy a house and a cow. Because he married him, he spent 50 taels of silver, and all the clothes he bought were made of silk.When Qi Yue gave him the clothes, he was terrified. He had never seen such a good dress before, and he dared not accept it for him to wear it!

But Qi Yue said that if he didn't accept it, he would throw it all away, so he accepted it tremblingly. When he put it on for the first time, he didn't feel comfortable anywhere, and he didn't dare to move it, for fear of getting dirty or damaging it!

He also used good things for the banquet, and hired a cook from a large restaurant in the town, which must have cost him a lot of money. A little calculation of these accounts made his heart tremble!

"Oh? How can I save money?" After eating enough, Qi Yue, who was already a bit lazy, regained his energy and wanted to tease him.

"We can raise some chickens, pigs, etc. There is still space in the backyard, and we can open another place to grow some vegetables. It's too expensive to buy food outside!" After saying this, He Ling glanced at Qi Yue , Seeing that he was still smiling, he continued: "I can make clothes myself, so I won't have to buy such expensive materials in the future, and don't buy those balms and fats, it's a waste!"

After listening to his rambling, Qi Yue smiled and hugged him, kissed him on the cheek, "Raising livestock and growing vegetables, you can do whatever you like, I will reject the matter of buying things for you!"

The most important thing is that he didn't agree, He Ling said anxiously: "Those are unnecessary, what a waste to buy!"

"Who says it's not necessary?" Qi Yue held his hand and touched it. It was so soft and smooth that it was very easy to touch. "You look good in clothes and look white and tender. I look happy. Could it be that Ah Ling doesn't want to?" See me happy?"

"No!" He Ling denied it quickly, how could he not want the other party to be happy, but Qi Yue picked out all the expensive things when he bought them, and he felt that he was spending too much!

Qi Yue smiled slightly, put his arms around his waist and led him into the room, "I have something for you!"

He Ling was led into the house full of doubts, watched him take out a carved wooden box from the closet, and stuffed it in his hand, "You will keep this from now on!"

"What is it?" He Ling asked as he opened the wooden box, and saw some copper coins and broken silver, and five or six silver ingots, each worth at least ten taels. He was surprised, "Money?"

Qi Yue raised his chin, signaling him to continue browsing.

He lowered his head again, stretched out his hand and moved the broken silver and copper coins to the side, revealing a few pieces of paper that were pressed underneath. He Ling stretched out his hand and pulled out the paper to take a look, and almost threw out the money box in his hand, "Here, This is……"

Qi Yue was amused by his appearance, and held his trembling hand holding the bank note, "Your husband and I are quite rich now, so I'm not afraid of you spending it!"

He Ling was a little speechless, this is a silver ticket!A silver bill of 100 taels, there are at least seven or eight of these in his hand, he has never seen so much money!

Seeing his terrified appearance, Qi Yue was both amused and distressed, how could these things be worth so much to him.

He raised his hand and put the bank note in He Ling's hand back into the box, put it on the table, cupped his face, and said, "It's just a few pieces of paper, why are you so scared?"

"Where is this paper?!" But it's all silver tickets!He Lingxin panicked, Qiyue put all this money in the cabinet so casually before, without even a lock, "Here, what if this money is stolen?"

"Hehe," Qi Yue chuckled twice, leaning over to touch his forehead, "Our courtyard wall is so high, it can't be easily lost!"

"It's not very high..." He Ling retorted in a low voice. He also thought the wall was very high before. After all, most houses in the village have low walls or fences made of mud. His house is much taller than people. up!But now, with so much money in the house, he feels unreliable no matter how he looks at it, and he wishes the wall could be a little higher!

"Then come tomorrow, I'll hire some craftsmen to build it higher?" Qi Yue seemed to be seriously considering this matter.

"That's not necessary!" He said in other words, there can really be a mess!

"Don't worry!" Qi Yue patted his head, "When there is no one at home, lock the door of the house and the yard, and you won't lose it!"

Even though he said so, He Ling was still worried, it's okay if he didn't know, but if he knew that he had the money, why didn't he think too much about it!

"Find another place by yourself and hide it well. I will leave it to you in the future. If I need money, I will ask you to get it!" Qi Yue picked up the box on the table and put it back in his hands .

He Ling hugged the box, feeling a little complicated. Although he didn't know where Qi Yue came from, what his previous status was, and why he settled in Gushui Village, his friendship with him was never false, and he always thought about himself. Considerately appease his various emotions!

Seeing that he did not refuse, Qi Yue took off the jade pendant that had been hanging around his waist and tied it around He Ling's waist until he understood what he wanted. You and I are not separated, okay?"

He Ling touched the exquisitely carved jade pendant on his waist, his expression became gentle, he looked up at Qi Yue with a smile, and said, "Okay!"

Seeing that he was obedient, Qi Yue hugged him into his arms and said softly, "You can follow me to town tomorrow!"

"I'm going too?" He Ling, who was leaning in his arms, raised his face upon hearing this.

"Yeah!" Qi Yue nodded, "I want to show you a place and take a stroll along the way, and..."

Qi Yue stretched his voice, but didn't say anything later, so He Ling had no choice but to ask, "And what?"

It's time for evil, Qi Yue leaned into his ear and said, "Don't you just take your brother who misses me to town with confidence?"

He Ling's ears were burning red, and he pushed away the person hugging him a little annoyed, "You are not serious! I haven't finished washing the clothes last night, so I went to do the laundry!"

"You're going to lose your temper with me!" Qi Yue touched his chin and sighed, then chased after him.Doing things together can also enhance the relationship!
