Although she said that, she still pulled two laying hens from the backyard, tied their legs, and stuffed them into the basket. After thinking for a while, she grabbed a handful of wheat straw from the backyard, put it in the small basket, and picked up all the eggs in the house into it.
It just so happened that Qiu Jianshe also came back. He locked the door and drove so fast that he wished he had wings.
Before anyone entered the house, Qiu Dahe heard a loud noise.
"Dahe~" Qiu's mother's shout startled Qiu Dahe so much that he almost couldn't hold the pot steady. He was holding a small casserole in the kitchen, but he was frightened by his overly excited mother.
"You black-hearted, cruel child, are you blaming your parents for sending you to the army? You haven't come back for years and haven't sent a single message. You're really tormenting your mother, ah~~~~"
I held my second son and beat him carefully, not daring to use too much force. My daughter said that the second son was injured.
Qiu Dahe could only carefully place the clay pot on the stove, "Mom, aren't you afraid that the clay pot will be knocked over and I will get burned?"
"Puff~" Qiu Yuling's emotions caused by her mother's howling disappeared with the bursting of a snot bubble.
Li Qingmei withdrew her hand. It was dim in the kitchen, so she pulled the man into the yard and said, "Where are you hurt? Let me take a look. Is it serious?" As she spoke, she was about to lift up his clothes.
Qiu Dahe hid for a moment and shouted helplessly, "Mom, I'm already a big boy. It's really nothing. It's just a small cut. It's nothing serious."
Li Qingmei didn't believe it, but she didn't insist. She could still make a fuss with her, which meant that at least it wouldn't affect the future.
"You'll have to stay for a while this time, right? Tell me, how long have you been away from home? Others' families serving in the army don't miss out on their wives and children, but you're so different. It's like you've been donated away. You can't even get a message from your own parents..."
As she spoke, she started to feel aggrieved again. "I'll marry you off this time, so that you can at least leave an heir. If you run away again, I won't worry about you anymore."
Qiu Dahe winked at his third brother and younger sister and asked them to pull his mother.
Qiu Yuling didn't want to intervene at first, but considering that her second brother had also traveled for such a long time, was exhausted, and hadn't even had a meal yet, she had no choice but to step in and stop her mother from singing.
"Mom, tell my second brother to slow down. There's plenty of time to talk these past few days. If you keep doing this, you might open up my second brother's wound again. If he has to sew it up again, I'm afraid there won't even be enough good flesh to poke the needle hole."
Li Qingmei finally let go of her son, wiped her nose, and told them to talk first. "I'll go in and get the food out. Can we eat in the yard?"
"Sure, I'll help you." Qiu Yuling left the scene to the three men and went into the kitchen with her mother.
Li Qingmei poked the mutton in the big pot and said, "Did you stew this? It's tender and tender, just right."
"Well, I put the pot on before I left and told my second brother to watch the fire. This casserole contains my second brother's medicine. Keep it warm for now and drink it before going to bed.
I'll use this pot to heat up the pancakes I brought from the house, and then we can make some cold dishes and eat?"
"I'll do it. You go out and talk to them. Tell Mom to take it easy. On the way, I was thinking about how many holes your second brother had in his body. Seeing that he's fine, I'm so happy and I want to cry..."
Qiu Yuling expressed her understanding and gave her the space. She went out to the courtyard, opened the folding round table, and moved some small chairs to set it aside. "Dad, wash your hands. Let's eat."
Qiu Jianshe's eyes were also red, and he took this opportunity to rub his face, saying, "I got dusty and dirty on the way, hehe~"
No one exposed him.
"Brother, I really want to extend my vacation for a few more days, but I've already been here for quite a while and have used up all my time off and vacation. Wait for me, I'll be back next month."
Qiu Dahe patted the third brother's shoulder and said, "It's okay if you can't come back. I'll come to see you when you go back."
"Um!"
Qiu Yuling took advantage of the fact that his second brother was unfamiliar with the place and had no reaction when he came in, and smuggled out a leg of lamb in a hurry, and threw the whole leg into a big pot to cook. Now that it was cooked, Qiu Jianshe took a knife and shared it among his children.
"Dad, you eat too. The meat on top will fall off if you touch it with chopsticks. Wait until you get to the bones before using the knife. You eat first." Qiu Yuling saw that her father was busy with the children and hadn't eaten much herself. After she finished speaking, she inherited the knife and said, "I'll do it."
After eating and drinking her fill, she asked her third brother to boil several large pots of hot water and add them to her newly built bathroom.
"Your design is amazing." Several people went in to take a look. They used a hand-cranked water pump to pump water from the wooden barrels on the ground and add it to the wooden water tank on the shelf.
There is an inch-long spout connected to the water tank, and the mouth of the spout has a lid full of holes. When it is rotated left and right, different water columns can be produced.
Several people were amazed.
"I'll go boil another pot of water. You can try my bathroom. This bucket of water can wash two people quickly, and it's more than enough for one person if you wash slowly."
She tried to design this for a long time before she completed it with the help of Zhuzhu. Because the wooden barrel filled with water was quite heavy, she did not hang it on the wall, but directly made a set of wooden supports, so there was no risk of it falling and hitting people. She also paved the ground with red bricks, made a floor drain, and buried pipes to drain the water into the flower beds in the yard.
Very convenient.
Li Qingmei asked the father and son to use it first. She felt a little embarrassed and wanted to wait until it was completely dark before washing.
Qiu Yuling also took the bedding from the west wing and asked her parents to live there. Originally, the third brother had a separate room, but he insisted on living with the second brother. Qiu Dahe also had the same idea, so Qiu Yuling did not interfere and let them make their own arrangements.
Except for Qiu Dahe who was not convenient to take a shower, Qiu Yuling gave the others new sweat shirts when they came out.
