Chapter 370 The enthusiasm of the villagers!
When Qin Zhizhi and others returned to the Gu family's house, some women had already returned with food.
Qin Shan took out the key and opened the door. The yard was clean, as if the owner of the house had never left.
Qin Zhizhi felt warm in her heart. It was obvious that someone came to clean and maintain the house regularly, which was why it was so nice.
"Zhizhi, I just had it cleaned yesterday, and it's spotless. The Qin family's house has also been cleaned. Your uncle Qin Chuan repeatedly told me when he went to the capital to take good care of these houses."
The new village head is called Qin Hai. He and Qin Chuan have the same great-grandfather, so they are also family members.
"Thank you, Uncle Village Head!" Qin Zhizhi's gratitude came from the heart.
"Why are you being so polite to me, kid? I'll take care of the house for you. You can come back whenever you want."
Qin Hai suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when Qin Zhizhi thanked him so solemnly.
"Uncle Village Head, this is my second sister-in-law!" Qin Hai went to the capital when Ning Ning and Qin Qingyun got married.
"Good boy, you've worked hard. Come into the house and have a rest. We'll be able to have dinner soon." Qin Hai was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
"This is the second daughter of the Wang family in the capital, and the wife-to-be of my fourth brother."
Qin Zhizhi introduced Wang Xinru to Qin Hai. Qin Qinglin and Wang Xinru got married after the Chinese New Year. In Qin Zhizhi's eyes, she had long been a family member.
"This is Qinglin's fiancée. Welcome back to Qinjia Village." Qin Hai became even more excited.
"Uncle Lizheng, a lot of our business is done in cooperation with the Wang family. This time I brought Sister Xinru here just to get to know you. Our future sales will depend on Sister Xinru."
Qin Zhizhi's voice was quite loud, not only could Qin Hai hear it, but everyone who came to help could hear it.
Everyone was very happy and looked at Wang Xinru as if she were the God of Wealth.
"Uncle Village Head!" Wang Xinru bowed as a junior.
"Good boy, thank you for your hard work!"
The group entered the main hall. After Qin Zhizhi greeted the village head and Old Man Qin, she took Ning Ning and Wang Xinru to the dormitory first.
Each of them brought a maid, and the room was very clean. Qin Zhizhi asked them to tidy up the bedroom, put down the bedding, and bring in the luggage and put it away.
"Zhizhi, they cleaned it so well!"
Ning Ning looked around the house and found it was really clean and ready to move in immediately.
The maid brought out the bedding. Qin Zhizhi smelled it and found that it did not smell musty. On the contrary, it felt soft and fluffy, and was filled with the scent of sunlight and incense.
Qin Zhizhi asked the three maids to clean up the bedroom together, and she was going to go to the kitchen to take a look.
“Zhizhi, I’m going too!”
Ning Ning was full of energy and didn't need to rest at all. Seeing Qin Zhizhi was going to the kitchen, she hurriedly followed her.
Although Wang Xinru never said it, her actions speak for themselves.
"You've been riding in the carriage all day. Do you want to rest for a while? I'll call you for dinner later."
Qin Zhizhi felt sorry for the two of them as they had to endure the hardship of the car ride, and originally wanted to let them rest for a while.
"No, no, I just want to go to the kitchen and watch the aunts cook."
Ning Ning kept shaking her head. She loved being in a lively atmosphere and was familiar with the people in the village.
"Sister Zhizhi, I don't need it either. I go out a lot, and this is just a one-day carriage ride. It's nothing."
Wang Xinru has traveled all over the country with her father, so this distance is really unbearable for her.
"Okay, let's go together."
Qin Zhizhi smiled helplessly and took the two of them to the kitchen.
In the yard and the kitchen, everyone was busy. Seeing a few people coming, the women all greeted them warmly.
"Zhizhi, you've been traveling all day. Are you hungry? Wait a moment, we'll be there soon."
"You guys go and have a rest, we'll be there in a moment."
"We're here to help!"
"No, no, go and rest quickly, there are many of us here."
"Yes, you must be exhausted from the journey. I will make you some of my signature dishes."
......
The women were afraid that the girls were tired, so they advised them to go back and rest.
"I miss my aunts, so I stay here to talk to you."
After Qin Zhizhi said this, the woman could no longer ask them to go back and rest.
"Hey, good boy, we are looking forward to your return every day."
"I'm finally back today, and my aunts are happy."
.....
Qin Zhizhi and others helped peel wild onions. Although the women were chatting with them, they did not delay their work at all.
He chopped the chicken, scraped the fish scales, and cut the pork belly with nimble hands and feet.
With more people working together, work can be done faster. It didn’t take long for the meal to be ready.
Qin Zhizhi had repaired two pots for the Gu family, and there was also a pot prepared in the Gu family's utility room that could be placed in the yard for cooking.
The staple food for dinner was steamed buns, which were freshly steamed by the wife of the village head Qin Hai in the evening. They were brought over while still hot.
The dishes were cooked quickly in several pots, and the woman, who was nimble and skillful, also made soup.
The men brought out the table and the women helped serve the food. Qin Zhizhi and her group finally had dinner after a whole day's journey.
Except for the village head and the clan leader who stayed, the rest of the people who helped went back.
Since things were pretty rushed tonight, they naturally wouldn't stay and cause trouble.
At the dinner table, Qin Zhizhi said to the village head, "Uncle, please go shopping tomorrow and I'll treat everyone to a meal."
"Zhizhi, why are you being so polite? Everyone is here to help willingly."
"Just listen to Zhizhi and buy more so we can have some fun together."
"Okay, I'll listen to Uncle San and Zhizhi."
Seeing that they insisted, Qin Hai quickly nodded. Even if they didn't say it, he would arrange for someone to buy it tomorrow.
"You've been tired all day, eat more."
Qin Hai was worried that the food tonight would not be good enough and would make a few people feel wronged.
"Uncle Lizheng, you can eat too. Every dish is delicious. It tastes like home."
Qin Zhizhi was really satisfied, it was full of fireworks and full of love from everyone.
"The countryside can't compare to the capital. Tell me what you need and I'll buy it for you tomorrow morning."
"Uncle Lizheng, we've brought them all, don't worry."
"Uncle Village Head, I want to trouble you with something!" Wang Xinru said a little embarrassedly.
"Second Miss, please tell me, I will definitely get it done for you!"
When the village head heard that Wang Xinru had something to ask him, he was so happy.
"Uncle Lizheng, when the villagers go to the county town tomorrow, could you please take a letter to the owner of my shop?"
"That's not difficult. Our village now has ox carts and the roads are well built. I'll arrange someone to deliver the letter for you."
"Thank you, Uncle Village Chief!"
"Just tell me what you need, and I'll make sure it's done for you."
Qin Hai has already decided who to send the letter, as Zhizhi and the others' business cannot be delayed.
"Okay, let's eat quickly, otherwise the food will get cold."
As soon as the grandfather spoke, everyone quickened their eating speed.
It was a simple dinner, but it was incredibly heartwarming.
