That's good, Qing'er does the work but it's like she didn't do anything.
Most importantly, the couple should be harmonious, which is what parents want to see most.
The atmosphere in the tea room was strange and silent, with an awkwardness permeating the silence. Afterwards, everyone left, their faces flushed.
The floodwaters in Shanshui Village have not yet receded completely, and no one in the village has left yet, nor can outsiders enter.
After the rain, mushrooms abound. Most of the villagers built new houses years ago. After the rainstorm, except for Fan Damu and Zhang Tuzi's families who need to build thatched houses, the other houses are new with tiled roofs, so they don't leak and don't need to be repaired.
With thorough preparation, including firewood, rice, salt, and other necessities after the rainstorm, and with the fields flooded and no one able to go outside, all the free time was used to pick mushrooms.
Mushrooms that can be traded for pork or eggs.
When you have something to do, the days fly by.
Shuiqing's family was also working non-stop, taking advantage of the busy atmosphere in the village to finish the work on the back mountain.
Otherwise, once there are no more mushrooms to pick and things become less busy, many people will inevitably come over to visit and chat, making it inconvenient to go out and work.
Ding Heli and Qin Yilin come over every day. Now they only need to process yam slices. The work is not much and not tiring. Ding Heli and Qin Yilin are in a great mood all day long.
Also, since I was worried about leaving Jiajia home alone, I brought Ding Jiajia along as well.
After breakfast, they would arrive early, eagerly anticipating lunch; after lunch, they would look forward to dinner. The whole family had noticeably gained weight.
Looking at the batches of sliced and dried yams, Shui Qing saw nothing but gleaming silver coins, and everyone was full of energy.
Mrs. Hu was surprised to find that her son's appetite had improved a lot recently. He ate an extra bowl of rice at each meal and was in a better mood, even smiling from time to time while eating plain white rice.
Hu's mother was a little worried. "She eats so much, will she still grow taller?"
But if this continues, won't it become even harder to find a good marriage partner...?
Bai Mansion of Southern Capital
Hearing the chaotic noise outside, Old Madam Bai felt a sense of unease.
She shouldn't have rushed home as soon as the rain stopped!
She instructed the maidservant serving her, "Go and call the young mistress here. Is the noise outside caused by refugees on the street?"
The maidservant ran quickly to call Li Huyu.
The old nanny who served her closely smiled and reassured her, "Madam, you're overthinking it. Our Bai family has many houses and buildings; how could any noise from the street get in?"
Madam Bai was even more flustered.
If the noise wasn't coming from the street, then it must be refugees who have broken in!
I heard that the Wu family on the next street was looted by refugees a few days ago!
The financial loss was one thing, but I heard that the old lady of that family was heartbroken because she was trying to stop the refugees from leaving. She was hit on the head and her face was covered in blood. She was lying in bed barely breathing.
The master and mistress were knocked unconscious, and their unmarried daughter's reputation was ruined...
Li Huyu, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit and with a sharp sword hanging at his waist, strode in.
In the past, this outfit would have certainly drawn disdain and disdain from Old Madam Bai, but at this moment, she felt extremely at ease.
"Mother, thinking about the recent looting of many families, I decided to have my parents and all my fellow disciples move in. We also decided to train the servants of the Bai family. Did this disturb you?" Li Huyu asked, cupping his hands in greeting.
Just as Old Madam Bai was about to question why her in-laws were allowed to move in, she noticed that her daughter-in-law had mentioned that several families had been looted. Startled, she asked, "Besides the Wu family, were other families also robbed by these refugees? These refugees are too lawless! What were the government officials doing?"
