"If you ask me, you guys should stop hanging around for a few days and come stay at my place."
Qiao Qingqing leaned back in the chair, stretched her legs and rubbed her waist. Ever since she knew she was pregnant, she always felt sore in her waist, probably due to psychological effects.
"Now when I carry water to water the vegetables, I feel uncomfortable when I bend my waist. Others feel nausea and retching during pregnancy, but I suffer from back pain and insomnia. I am worried that this is not normal."
Hearing what Qiao Qingqing said, Yao Xiaoman's face suddenly lit up.
"Really? Sister Qingqing? I, I actually told Lan Fang before that I would live with you before the wall was raised. Lan Fang said it would be troublesome to move the bed, and also said that if my brother-in-law came on vacation, it would be inconvenient for us, so I gave up the idea."
Qiao Qingqing glanced at Zhou Lanfang. She was a person of integrity and more careful than Xiaoman, so she thought of avoiding suspicion.
"Lan Fang, have you forgotten that I told you that I would reserve a room for you before we built the house? Why are you being so distant with me?"
Zhou Lanfang shook her head. "It's not that I'm being polite. I didn't expect my brother-in-law to have so many vacations. I thought that even if he took vacations, he would only stay here for a few months. But seeing that my brother-in-law can stay at home for a long time, it's not appropriate for Xiaoman and I to stay here again."
"Then you can rest assured. Your brother-in-law is on a business trip and won't be here in the near future. So it's settled. You two can move in a day. My water tank is empty, so I'm waiting for you two to help me share the burden."
Qiao Qingqing made the decision immediately.
After hearing what she said, the two of them no longer had any objections and ran happily to move their things.
If they needed to move the bed in, Qiao Qingqing's house didn't have any extra beds - actually, there was one, but it was a bed collected from the Lu family. Qiao Qingqing only took one out and put it in the house on the day when she invited the Lu family to dinner. At other times, the rooms were empty.
With the addition of the two female educated youth, Qiao Qingqing's yard became lively.
Although Qiao Qingqing was joking just to make them feel at ease staying there, the two of them were very active and proactive. Apart from cooking, Qiao Qingqing basically didn't have to do any other work.
Strictly speaking, the one who took advantage was Qiao Qingqing, who had two free babysitters...
This was not what Qiao Qingqing originally intended, but Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang were very hardworking and considerate of her hardship during pregnancy, so Qiao Qingqing could not compete with them in doing more work.
As a result, Qiao Qingqing was even more reluctant to leave them!
Therefore, after the courtyard wall was raised, the two of them continued to keep Qiao Qingqing company.
Qiao Qingqing found different ways to prepare delicious food for them every day. She cooked the meat she bought from Sun Zhong without any regrets and paired it with rice she grew herself. Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang's complexions became rosier day by day.
"Sister Qingqing, can we buy so much meat with our money?"
On the first day after moving in, Yao Xiaoman saw the delicious braised pork on the table again and swallowed her saliva and asked.
Zhou Lanfang thought that Sister Qingqing had eaten a month's worth of meat in just a few days.
She didn't say anything. At worst, she could just eat vegetarian food afterwards.
After serving a bowl of rice to Sister Qingqing, Zhou Lanfang continued, "We've given Sister Qingqing the money and we'll take care of everything. Anyway, at least we've had a great time these past few days. I guess Sister Qingqing saw that we were too tired from working in the fields, so she wanted to give us some nourishment."
Qiao Qingqing smiled and said nothing.
The three of them sat down and ate for a while before Qiao Qingqing said, "Let's go to the sea tomorrow morning and see if we can catch a fish so we can have fish to eat."
"good!"
