Chapter 263 Troubles

But since the other party was paying for the medicine, it would be inappropriate to ask too many questions, so the guy swallowed the words that came to his lips several times.

The people in the village were all very happy.

Mugwort leaves are everywhere, and there are plenty of them by the river. It is not difficult to dry them in the sun. Adults, children, women and the elderly can all do it. With a little effort and diligence, they can earn money. It is really no different from picking up money.

All of a sudden, all the people in the village were full of gratitude towards Zhuang Qingning, and Zhuang Qingning also received very enthusiastic responses from the villagers.

Apricots from this family, peaches from that family, the east family made steamed noodles at noon today and sent a bowl, the west family made dumplings today and sent a plate, the one who bought twisted jujube cake in town and sent a piece, and a bowl of small river shrimps caught in the river...

In short, food, clothing, and the work of fetching water were almost all taken care of by the neighbors, and she didn't need to do anything at all.

There were even a few overly enthusiastic aunts who had a quarrel and almost scratched Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui because they were competing to help them make shoes. In the end, it was Zhuang Qingning who stepped forward and made a pair for each of them, and that was it.

As expected, being disliked by people is a sin, and being too popular is also a sin.

Zhuang Qingning felt that he had added to his troubles for no reason.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Zhuang Qingning moved into his new home and warmed up the house.

Normally, each family would often rush to send gifts to Zhuang Qingning, but now that they had such a legitimate reason, they became even more excited and carefully prepared house-warming gifts to send to his door.

Chicken, duck, fish, chicken, duck eggs, peaches, apricots, fish caught in the river, shrimps caught in the stream, rabbits hunted in the mountains, cloth bought in town, bed sheets and curtains made by myself...

It can be said that there are all kinds of them, everything you need.

There were also some who were very practical. Knowing that Zhuang Qingning was going to invite the people in the warm room to have lunch today, they specially steamed a few baskets of steamed bread with two kinds of flour to make it convenient for everyone to have lunch, and also saved Zhuang Qingning the trouble of taking care of this matter.

Tables, chairs, benches, bowls, chopsticks and plates used for eating had all been spontaneously moved to Zhuang Qingning's yard by each family.

At this time, after visiting Zhuang Qingning's new house, the man was busy chopping wood, making fire, setting the table and tidying up the benches, while the woman was busy picking and washing vegetables, etc., each doing her own job in an orderly manner.

At this moment, Zhang Yongchang's face was red from the fire on the stove, and the sweat dripping down his cheeks could not hide the smile on his face.

Firstly, it was because Zhuang Qingning was happy that he had a real home of his own.

Secondly, I am happy because I made today’s dish.

He had never stopped cooking since he left Fushunlou that day, but he always used small pots and small stoves and could only cook a few dishes a day. It had been a long time since he had the feeling of using a big stove and a big pot to happily cook many dishes at once.

This long-lost feeling made Zhang Yongchang suddenly excited, and he was even reluctant to let go of the big iron spoon.

Lian Rong was naturally happy to see Zhang Yongchang happy. He was cutting with a kitchen knife on the chopping board.

Zhuang Jingye and Zhuang Yonghe helped to greet people, and He was also accompanying some young wives, talking to old aunts, and serving them melon seeds and peanuts.

Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui were also busy, chatting and laughing with a few close friends.

"Hey, I thought you guys were here to warm up Miss Ning's house, but it seems like you didn't put enough thought into it. You prepared chicken, duck, fish and meat. They look useful, but they are still a bit ordinary."

Zhuang Jingye winked and smiled.

"What do you mean, Uncle Village Chief? You also prepared a fish, even though your fish is rarer than ours, but it's still a fish, we can all eat it, and our stomachs will all be the same. You can't prepare your own fish and then say our fish is not as good."

"That's right, Uncle Lizheng, you can't say that about us.

"Oh, don't you know the character of the village chief? Since he looks down on us, he must have prepared something rare and is just waiting to show off in front of us."

"You really hit the nail on the head. The village chief uncle is really such a person. But now that you said that, I am curious. What gift did the village chief uncle prepare today?"

"That's right, take it out and have a look."

“…”

"What's the hurry?" Zhuang Jingye smiled with his eyes narrowed when he saw that the momentum was almost built up. "You'll be able to see it later, but you have to look carefully and attentively. But one thing is for sure, you must not reach out and touch it. If you damage it, no one can bear the consequences!"

You can't touch it, it's easy to break it if you touch it, and you can't afford it if you break it? After hearing what Zhuang Jingye said, everyone became more confused and curious, and started to speculate.

"Could it be silver?"

"You're talking so much, maybe it's gold..."

"Gold and silver are not afraid of being touched. In my opinion, it's pearls. I've been to the capital before and saw people selling pearls in jewelry shops. They said they were very precious and could only be looked at but not touched. Even if a noble person went to buy them, they could only pick them up with a handkerchief."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"This thing is so expensive, the village head probably won't be willing to part with it. I guess it's probably the flowers. Little girl Ning likes flowers and plants, so the village head may cater to her taste. Flowers are not something that can be easily touched."

"That makes some sense..."

Bullshit!

Zhuang Jingye rolled his eyes.

He is the head of the village. How can he be like you, giving away gold and silver, flowers and plants, and then peaches and apricots?

What he wants to give is something very precious, something that can be kept, brings good fortune, and can even be worshipped! I will open your eyes later, so that you guys don’t just think about money or food, which is really too vulgar!

Zhuang Jingye thought about it, and walked towards the door with his hands behind his back smugly. After looking around at the door, he looked at the sun above his head and spat.

Boss, it’s already so late and he hasn’t come back yet. If he comes back after dinner time, won’t he lose the chance to show off?

Zhuang Jingye was secretly complaining in his heart when he saw a person running towards him from afar.

Taking another look, isn't this his boss, Zhuang Le'an? Zhuang Jingye's eyes suddenly brightened, but when Zhuang Le'an walked up to him, his face turned cold, "What's wrong with you, kid? Why did you come so late? You almost delayed the time, don't you know?"

"If it's past dinner time, how will your father show his ability and how will you show your face in front of the county magistrate?"

"Have you got the stuff? Take it out so I can take a look first."
