Li Qinghe took Lou Xiao'e to the corner of the courtyard alley and stopped the car, letting Lou Xiao'e push the car back by herself.
In later generations, it’s okay to take someone with you on a bike, but it’s not okay in this era, otherwise gossip might spread.
Not long after they returned to the yard, Lou Xiao'e came over with a chicken, "Qinghe, here, this chicken is for you. I keep my word."
"Sister Xiao'e, you really gave it to me. Will Brother Damao be willing? He even said he would treat me to a drink. What should I do if I lose this chicken?"
Li Qinghe asked, although he was very happy to have an old hen that could lay eggs immediately, he still had to decline.
"It's okay, just take it. It's just a few side dishes. You can buy more when the time comes. You don't have to have this chicken."
This daughter from a wealthy family speaks in a generous way.
"Okay, thank you, Sister Xiao'e."
Li Qinghe was secretly happy in his heart, as the eggs would soon be free. And from Lou Xiao'e's tone, she could tell that she was a little angry when she mentioned Xu Damao. It seemed that although she didn't say it, she was still uncomfortable in her heart.
"By the way, Sister Xiao'e, our factory is going to show a movie tonight, do you want to go?"
"Okay, let's go watch it together in the evening." Lou Xiao'e's quality of life has declined sharply since she married Xu Damao. Movies that she didn't care about before are now rarely watched.
"Okay, I'll call you then." Li Qinghe agreed and walked into the house carrying the chicken.
Before he entered the house, the door of the Yan family across the street opened, and the third aunt came out with a basin of clothes. Seeing the chicken in his hand, she asked, "Hey, Qinghe, where did you get the chicken? It can't be from Xu Damao's family, right?"
She had been craving for the chickens at Xu Damao's house for a long time, so she recognized it at a glance.
"Yes, it's from Damao." Li Qinghe raised the chicken a little higher and said with a smile, "This was given to me by Sister Xiao'e."
When Auntie No. 3 heard this, she got red-eyed and asked, "Why would she give you a chicken if she had nothing to do?"
An old hen that can lay eggs costs a little more than one dollar each, and you need a ticket to buy it at that price. Moreover, if you raise it, it can lay eggs continuously.
Li Qinghe shook the chicken in his hand so that the third aunt could see it more clearly. "Hey, it's nothing serious. I just helped Sister Xiao'e and Brother Damao a little. They gave it to me as a thank you."
After saying that, he even called out to Lou Xiao'e, "Right, Sister Xiao'e."
"Take it back quickly. Why are you talking so much? Don't forget to call me when you show the movie tonight." Lou Xiao'e scolded with a smile and turned into the house.
The third aunt was extremely envious at this moment. Why didn’t such a good thing happen to me?
Then he thought of something, "By the way, Qinghe, aren't you going to work today?"
"Well, I went there today because I had something to do. I told my boss and now that I'm done with the work, I won't be going there in the afternoon. I'm waiting to see a movie in the evening."
The third aunt rolled her eyes, thinking about how to get more benefits from Li Qinghe. When she saw Li Qinghe's house, a plan came to her mind.
"Qinghe, do you still need to clean up your room? Should I ask him to help you again when Li comes back?"
"This... is indeed something that needs to be cleaned up. I'm a bachelor and my house is easily messy." Li Qinghe glanced at the third aunt, "You were not feeling well yesterday, so if you are better, please help me clean it up."
When she heard that she was asked to work, she immediately became weak and pretended that she was not fully recovered yet. "Oh, no, I am not fully recovered yet. I am just forcing myself to wash these clothes. Wait a moment, Yu Li is out. I will let her go when she comes back."
She got more than half of the clothes she brought back yesterday. She has already experienced the joy of getting something for free. Why would she still be willing to work hard? Even if she does a good job, she won't necessarily get more. Why should she work?
When it comes to scheming, none of the three aunts can surpass anyone except Yan Bugui.
Because of these old clothes, the couple had a happy morning.
"Okay, Third Aunt, if you're not feeling well, just take some rest. When Li comes back, just ask her to come over."
Li Qinghe said this with a smile, then turned and went into the house.
The third auntie was still behind him and said loudly: "Okay, you go back. When Li comes back, I will ask her to help you clean up."
After saying this, he was secretly proud of himself. He thought he spoke so loudly on purpose so that people in the yard could hear him and that no one would gossip about him behind his back.
Li Qinghe's lips curled up into a smile of success, this tactic of retreating to advance was really useful, our ancestors were very wise.
Not long after, Yu Li returned to the courtyard. As soon as she entered the door, the third aunt came to greet her with a happy face, "Yu Li, you are really smart. You have cleaned up Li Qinghe's house for the first time. He happens to be off work today. You can help him clean up later. Don't clean it up all at once. We can clean it up several times."
Yu Li smiled bitterly in her heart.
You think your son is cold without a hat, so you are in a hurry to put one on him.
Yu Li didn't know whether to be happy or sad about this behavior of pushing her own daughter-in-law into someone else's arms.
But thinking about how she felt last night and what the doctor said, ripples began to form in her heart again.
Although I had some expectations in my heart, I couldn't say it out loud.
"Mom, I helped clean up last night. What if people gossip about me if I go again?"
"Don't worry, I've already given you a vaccination, so you'll be fine, go ahead."
The three aunts said that they had arranged everything for me, just don't let me do any work.
Yu Li had a strange expression on her face and complained silently in her heart. She picked up the cup and drank some water to suppress the restlessness in her heart.
"Okay, I'll go after lunch."
The third aunt originally wanted Yu Li to go to Li Qinghe's house for dinner, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing to eat at Li Qinghe's house.
