After he stood firm, he said to the others, "See? This is love-brain. It's a disease. There's no cure."
Others didn't understand this, and Lin Jing couldn't help but say, "I don't quite understand it. Zhang Lei gave everything to Liang Tian. Isn't that very touching?"
Qiu Yantang looked at the others and didn't expect that they had the same idea.
He spoke earnestly, "Let's not talk about the betrothal gifts. Let's just talk about the fifty yuan for building a house. A two-room house with simple decoration will cost one hundred and twenty yuan, not counting the furniture. He will pay fifty, and Liang Tian will have to pay the rest. If you calculate it all, Liang Tian will have to pay a lot!"
Only then did they realize that they had been thinking too simply before, thinking that if someone was willing to give ten dollars to them, it was true love.
It turns out they were overthinking it.
"This is too much!" Qiu Manzhi said, "If we have to live together in the future, Liang Tian will suffer a great loss."
If two people have feelings for each other, then they will give. This is exactly the same as forcing it, but in their situation...
It's really impressive.
"So don't be so love-brained. Let me tell you the truth: if you're looking for a partner, you still have to find someone who's financially capable."
"If you're really close to the end of the world, it's okay if you're ambitious, but I won't accept people who have no money but still make empty promises!"
Qiu Yantang was not an experienced person, but she had seen a lot of such things in her previous life, including the Phoenix Man, who, after being with a girl, planned to kill her entire family and seize her property.
Of course, there are also women who think the same way, accepting the betrothal gifts but not fulfilling their marital obligations...
There are various reasons, and the result is that both men and women are afraid of marriage.
"We understand!" Looking at everyone who understood, Qiu Yantang felt a lot more comfortable. At least he had saved some people and prevented them from going astray.
But she also realized that all of them were good people, and if they could be digested internally in the end, it would actually be quite good!
After Qiu Yantang returned home, he took the time to clean the house with Qiu Hua.
Because it was in the countryside, the dust was particularly heavy. When cleaning, Qiu Yantang felt that the house had not been lived in for long, but there was already a thick layer of dust.
"My dear, this window needs to be cleaned too. It's too dirty."
Qiu Yantang took a look and thought it wasn't that obvious. "Qiuhua, you and Zhang Shouquan clean the windows, and I'll clean the roof."
The two things I hate most in life are cleaning windows and washing dishes.
"My dear, that shed is too high. You wait until I finish cleaning the glass and then I'll go clean it." Zhang Shouquan said. He had heard that in the Northeast, such high-altitude and physical work should be done by men.
He is a male ghost here, and there is really no need for him to do such things.
After hearing this, Qiu Yantang was still willing. After all, who is willing to work?
"Okay, you guys get busy, I'll go make you some preserved vegetable braised pork!"
The pickled mustard greens also came from Qiu Manzhi's family. Qiu Manzhi's mother, Sun Xiaoxia, often made all kinds of things, which made things more convenient for Qiu Yantang.
If you need anything, just look for branches full of them.
Soak the pickled mustard greens in water and fry the pork belly skin in a pan. The pork skin must be handled well, otherwise it will have a muddy and greasy smell that is particularly unpleasant.
But once cleaned it tastes really good.
Qiu Yantang had just finished frying the meat when he saw Frog coming back.
There is no big burden this time.
He opened his mouth and spit out fifty boxes of sparkling water for Qiu Yantang, the kind with zero sugar. The key is that they are all the flavors she likes.
Seeing Qiu Yantang trying to come over to hug and kiss it, the frog boy quickly dodged away.
Looking at the sparkling water in front of him, Qiu Yantang said, "Frog, you really know me too well. These flavors are all my favorites."
After saying that, he took out an orange-flavored one. When he opened it, there was a "hiss" sound, and the rich orange flavor came out.
Qiu Yantang took a big sip!
“It’s so delicious!”
The frog Momo took out his Erguotou, and Erguotou was still delicious. Before he got drunk, he returned to his space.
Qiu Yantang quickly prepared the braised pork with preserved vegetables. The portion was quite large, and paired with some pickles, it became a particularly delicious meal.
She handed Zhang Shouquan and Qiuhua a bottle of sparkling water each, and told them how to drink it. She also got a bottle of Qiu Yantang's favorite flavor for Frog.
The little frog didn't refuse and seemed to like the sparkling water.
After Zhang Shouquan and Qiuhua drank it, they could smell the rich fruity flavor of the sparkling water.
And those little bubbles that have a bit of a bite.
It's both novel and delicious.
Frog opened the bottle of sparkling water and drank one-third of it in one gulp. Then he poured the remaining one-third of Erguotou into the sparkling water and shook it.
Wow, Qiu Yantang found it curious that the frog was actually making his own cocktail.
After it was done, Qiu Yantang handed the empty cup to it and said, "Let me try it."
Frog was about to pour wine for Qiu Yantang, but when he looked up, he saw the cups of the other two ghosts...
In order to maintain their friendship, the little frog reluctantly gave up the drink and poured a glass for each of them. He left half a bottle for himself and drank it quickly.
Qiu Yantang didn't ask for it anymore.
This wine...
This is too much!
After drinking it, Qiu Yantang felt that this body was no longer his own.
The Little New Year is coming soon. The Little New Year in the north is on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.
Qiuhua got up early in the morning to make dumplings for Qiu Yantang. The dumplings were made of pure meat with chopped green onions in the filling, and the meat was one part fat and nine parts lean.
Add water to the dumpling filling and stir it in one direction. This will make it more tender. If you stir it for a long time, the meat will become like eggs, and it will taste firm and juicy.
Small meatballs are wrapped in the dumpling skin.
Anyway, Qiu Yantang still likes this kind of dumplings very much.
She doesn't like sauerkraut. She can drink sauerkraut soup and eat the side dishes, but she just doesn't like sauerkraut.
Zhang Shouquan rolled the dough, Qiuhua and Qiu Yantang made dumplings. Qiuhua just pinched the dumplings with both hands and they were shaped, so they didn't look very pretty at all.
But Qiu Yantang is different. The dumplings she makes are plump, like gold ingots, and they can also be made into shapes like wheat ears.
pleasing to the eye.
There were so many people, so the dumplings were made quickly and put into the pot soon.
People also put stove candy on the table to offer sacrifice to the stove god, which means asking him to "speak good things to the heaven and ensure peace in the world below."
We went outside to set off firecrackers before dinner, and finally we felt the festive atmosphere of the New Year.
During the meal, Qiu Yantang called everyone together and said, "During the New Year, call Huang Ling and the others over so that we can have some fun together."
If it’s cold and deserted, it’s not the New Year.
The focus of making dumplings is not the dumplings themselves, but the atmosphere of a family making dumplings together. There is a certain evening party where people make dumplings every year, but who actually watches it?
