The three little devils are finally not red anymore. They seem to have grown a lot bigger after not seeing them for a few days.
Qiu Yuling stood in front of her, her round eyes rolling around following the sound of the bell on the cloth tiger in her hand. She was so adorable.
"They grow so fast. When they first came out they were only the size of a shoe, but now they're as long as my arm."
"Babies grow fast, inch by inch." Li Qingmei made a pot of buns. The baby would be out of confinement soon, and the whole family would move back to the village.
When Li Qingtong was going back after dinner, she asked someone to go back to Qiuzhuang first to give Qiu Jianshe a message, asking him to heat up the house, clean and sweep what needed to be cleaned, and come to pick her up early the next morning.
Qiu Yuling also started to clean up. If nothing unexpected happens, she will probably not come again after this time.
"Yuling, have you figured out what to do with this alley?" Li Qingmei has been thinking about it for the past two days.
Qiu Yuling went away to study next year, and the family wouldn't need this place for a while. It would be a waste to leave it empty. Should we rent it out, or sell it?
"Neither renting nor selling, I'll have a place to stay when I come back in the future." Qiu Yuling had never considered those plans.
Things are not like the later times, especially when the owner of the yard does not live there and rents it out for a long time. Not only does the tenant not move out, but he also makes unreasonable demands. In that case, it is hard to say who will own the house.
"It's good that you have a plan for success. If you don't live in someone's house, it will be ruined if you leave it alone."
"Why don't you come and stay here from time to time? Visit a temple or something, or take a break when you can't go back. It's more convenient than staying in a guesthouse, right?"
"Who has the time for that? Forget it. I can't argue with you. You decide for yourself."
Then lock it up and leave it there. She's just getting started. In her previous life, those rich people around her had their own homes wherever they went. Is there too much of a crowd? The envy of her previous life, this life must be realized.
Hey, I'll buy it, even if I can't live in it! I have money! I'm willful! Of course, not now.
But she only dared to mutter in her heart, because speaking it out loud would cause trouble.
She doesn't just buy here. Wait, she'll buy more in Lan City! She'll buy everywhere she goes! She'll even dig up treasures from the house. We're focusing on a character with unexpected luck in making money!
A grown-up child is no longer under the control of his mother. Li Qingmei grumbled in her heart, let her be, she will come back anyway, at most she will be locked up for three years, it will be convenient for her to find a job by then.
"Mom, you can keep active for another two years. If you can be as open-minded as my grandma, I will take you wherever I go and show you the world."
"Come on, let the cow rest. It's been flying in the sky all day. If you're not tired, the cow is tired."
Li Qingmei was still busy and had no time to listen to her bragging.
"Go open the lid and put the last basket on and we're done." All the buns were steamed, and the last batch had salty and oily fillings. The kids in the room were whining again. She was so busy that she was running around.
"You take a rest, I'll go over." Qiu Yuling grabbed Qiu's mother who was rushing out of the kitchen and went over to help.
"Sister-in-law, don't they have any regular eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, and sleeping habits?"
"What kind of routine can they have? They eat when they're hungry, sleep when they're tired, and make a fuss if they're not served quickly enough. Taking care of the three of them is more chaotic than a whole flock of sheep."
"When can we relax a little?"
"It's fine now that the legs are installed. I don't have to worry so much." Huang Duoer scratched her scalp. Her head was so itchy that she couldn't stand it anymore.
Sister-in-law, how about I take the three beans to the east room, and you close the doors and windows, boil some water to wash them, and when you're done, wrap them up tightly and nothing should happen.
"Is that okay? Mom said I can't take a bath for the entire confinement period. It'll give me a headache if I catch a cold."
"Let's stoke the stove and make the house warmer. It's only a day or two before I finish my confinement. I'll be back in the village in a couple of days, and it will be even colder to take a shower then."
Huang Duoer was very excited. She felt that her hair was itchy and she was about to scratch it to pieces. She really couldn't bear it anymore.
Qiu Yuling carried the three little ones over in three trips and placed them on the kang in the east wing. She also found a packet of shampoo powder she had prepared and gave it to Huang Duoer.
Huang Duoer likes to use the shampoo in the big jar because it has a fragrance. But since her sister-in-law gave it to her so eagerly, she couldn't bear to put it aside. Unexpectedly, her hair became smooth and tangle-free after washing, which was better than the shampoo in the white jar.
While the room was still warm, she unbuttoned her clothes and wiped every part of her body that could be touched. Suddenly, she felt as if she had lost half a pound of weight.
Qiu Yuling was also busy. She boiled half a pot of ginger soup in a clay pot. When she heard some noise in the west room, she brought it over.
"Sister-in-law, drink it while it's hot. Wring out your hair and wrap it up. I'll pour the water for you. Don't leave the house."
Huang Duoer took the bowl of soup and drank it all, but she was embarrassed to let her sister-in-law pour out the dirty water.
"Stop arguing. Isn't this a special period for you? What's there to worry about? Your family and parents are counting on you. Let's not be so unsociable."
The water turned black. Firstly, she was embarrassed, and secondly, she felt sorry for her sister-in-law because she was too small to hold the big wooden basin.
Qiu Yuling picked it up without saying anything and poured it onto the roots of the apricot tree outside.
"Why are all the people in this family so strong?" When Huang Duoer arrived at the Qiu family, Qiu Yuling had been in school most of the time, so she had never seen Qiu Yuling doing farm work, and she didn't know that her sister-in-law was also a good farmer with great strength.
Qiu Yuling has been staying at home for the past two days. Apart from helping her mother take care of the baby, she has also been cleaning the small courtyard and even wiping the faces of the stone lions at the door.
"You've already cleaned this room from top to bottom three times. Can we take a break?" Li Qingmei considered herself a diligent person, but she was annoyed by the way her daughter did things.
As soon as she sat down, someone started to wipe the chair; when she lay down, someone started to spread the kang; when she said she was going to cook, someone started to wipe the stove. If she didn't know that she had always done it this way, she would have thought that Qiu Yuling was having trouble with her again.
On the day when people came to pick them up, Qiu Dashan walked back to drive the donkey cart. He first delivered two trips of things, and it was not until after three o'clock in the afternoon that he moved his wife and baby onto the cart.
To prevent the children from being blown away by the wind, he rolled up a mat into a tube and covered them with it. He sat on the shaft outside to drive the cart.
Li Qingmei was riding a bicycle, with Qiu Yuling sitting on the front crossbar and two baskets of charcoal on the back seat.
When I came, I moved a lot of things, and when I left, I moved even more things than when I came.
Today is a rare good day with no wind and bright sunshine. As soon as I entered the brigade, I saw women from every household standing outside the wall.
When they saw Li Qingmei and the others coming back, they all became curious about the triplets and swarmed over.
"Oh my, it's just like what Dashan said, it looks exactly like him!"
"That's right, look at the dimples on her hands. She has a really beautiful body."
"Yes, even this young wife is plump. It seems that Brother Qiu's family is very prosperous this year."
“…”
The people who gathered around were talking at once, and they actually made the three little ones cry. "What are you doing standing there, Dashan's wife? Hurry up and feed the baby."
Huang Duoer was so anxious that she almost cried.
