An Yue thought about it and realized that this was the only way to do it. Then she thought about the beams being put up for Lin Qiaoqiao's house tomorrow.
"Whose family is going to put up the beams tomorrow? Do you think we should go or not?"
"Of course I'll go!" Liu Guoliang had already hung up the clothes quickly. He didn't want to work, otherwise he could do this little housework.
But people can be as lazy as possible in their life.
An Yue, "You said we should go, do we have to give gifts? If so, how much?"
Thinking about the two families' celebration, if she hadn't known that the food for tomorrow's banquet would be very hard, she wouldn't have been so shameless as to eat it. Besides, a fight or a quarrel is nothing in the countryside.
Liu Guoliang, “This is a problem. If we give them too much, it won’t be appropriate for us, but if we give them too little, they can’t give in.
So we have to think of a way. Let me see. Wrap it with some red paper and stuff it in when there are a lot of people around."
An Yue nodded, "It seems that this is the only way. I heard that the food for tomorrow will be very hard. Let's eat less tonight and eat it all tomorrow."
Liu Guoliang thought the same thing. Usually, not many people in the village would hold banquets. Even if there were, they would only be family members who would just have a meal. Outsiders were rarely invited. The main reason was that the money for gifts was not enough to cover the cost.
This is the first time in nearly 10 years that Qin Fang has held such a grand ceremony, and many people are waiting for it!
He Xiuxiu, who was hiding in the house, calmed down at this time. Since it had already happened, it could not be undone. Speaking of which, the conditions of my aunt's family were pretty good. The house was built in recent years and there was still some family wealth.
Liu Guoliang is a bit older, but otherwise he is a good choice. . .
Qin Fang had already unloaded all the things he had bought and was sweating in the hot weather.
Lin Qiaoqiao poured them some sour plum soup, which had been kept in the refrigerator in the space. It was icy and sweet when they drank it.
When Shen He touched the bowl, "Oh, it's so cold!"
Qin Fang, "I made this last night and put it in the well to cool it down, so it feels a little cold."
Chen He drank a mouthful of it and felt refreshed. He felt cool from head to toe. Of course, his body was also cool now. He thought about jumping into the river once.
"I can't be a good person. My clothes are soaked and I feel very uncomfortable."
Qin Fang, "I'll go back to my room and find a set of my old clothes, and you can wear them!"
Chen He, "How can this be so embarrassing? I just blow dry my clothes outside while I'm driving."
Qin Fang, "It's just old clothes anyway, it's okay for you to wear them." He turned around and went back into the house.
Lin Qiaoqiao was indeed confused, "Brother, why did you jump into the river?"
Chen He drank the sour plum soup. It was the first time in his life that he had tasted something so delicious. In order to return the favor, he made up his mind.
"This is what happened. When I was passing by Shahe River, a girl fell into the water, and I went down to save her.
Later I found out that the girl wanted Brother Qin to rescue her. Don’t you think this person is funny? She was already in the middle of the river. If I didn’t pull her back, she would have died.”
Lin Qiaoqiao didn't expect such explosive information. She thought something had fallen into the river and she was going to pick it up.
"So that's how it is. Big brother is really kind-hearted. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!"
Chen He smiled honestly, "Nothing, I just encountered it, and I am a good swimmer. To be honest, after I jumped in, I felt the water was too fast. I felt that if I didn't swim to the shore, I might die if a wave hit me."
Qin Fang came out of the house with old clothes in his hands.
"I don't know if it will fit, go change inside!"
Since the clothes were already brought, Chen He did not refuse. It was nice to meet these two people today. The taste of the sour plum soup was still lingering in his mouth. It was really delicious.
After Lin Qiaoqiao and others entered the house, they said,
"I just heard this guy say that he jumped into the river to save someone. Did the girl want you to save her?
Who is that girl?"
Qin Fang, "She is An Yue's niece. I don't know her specific name, but she is her niece anyway."
Lin Qiaoqiao, "Then how did you solve it?"
Qin Fang smiled, "I told those gossipers about this when I first entered the village. If we don't explain it clearly, they will take the initiative and we won't be able to explain it clearly."
Lin Qiaoqiao, "What you said makes sense. Rural people are gossipy and especially love to talk nonsense, but as they talk, the tone of their words changes.
If you encounter this situation in the future, will you still save people?"
Qin Fang, "Just pretend you didn't see it. It wasn't me who made her fall. As the saying goes, everyone has their own destiny, and wealth and honor are in the hands of God."
Lin Qiaoqiao, "That makes sense. Since she started to have that idea, she has to pay the price for the consequences."
They are both the type who would rather let the world down than let themselves down. What's other people's affairs to them? Moreover, they know that they have bad intentions and saving them will only cause trouble. So why save them?
After Chen He changed his clothes, he rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs.
"This dress is too big for me!"
Qin Fang, "This is my old clothes. I can't wear them now. You can take them back and wear them! Cut the cuffs and trouser legs and make do with them!"
Chen He is not a hypocritical person, "Brother Qin, I have made you my friend. If you have anything in the future, tell me!
I can't help with other things, but I can still help with transporting some goods."
Qin Fang, "Okay, I'll take note of it. I'll definitely look for you if I need anything in the future."
Chen He thought of the girl who fell into the water, "If that person still bothers you, you can also tell me that I saved her. If she wants to do something weird, just let her do it!"
Thinking of the disgust in that girl's eyes, I still feel very angry. If I had known earlier, I would not have rescued him and let him be washed away by the flood.
Qin Fang, "She doesn't dare to come over and make trouble. If she does, it will be even more shameless!"
Chen He thought that was the truth, so he got in the car.
"Brother, I'm going to go home first. I'll come over for a drink tomorrow when the roof is being put up!"
"Okay! Come over as long as you're free." Qin Fang agreed readily.
Only then did Chen He drive away contentedly.
Lin Qiaoqiao looked at the things on the ground, as well as the tables, chairs, benches, and bowls and chopsticks in the yard, and suddenly felt that the yard was a little small.
"With so many things, I don't know when I can finish packing them!"
Qin Fang, "Just leave it like this for now, someone will clean it up tomorrow morning."
Lin Qiaoqiao thought of the enthusiastic villagers and didn't start to clean up.
Before going to bed at night, I put 20 fish in a big basin, expecting 16 tables. The extra four were in case there were extra tables.
I was mentally prepared, but I didn't expect them to show up so soon, before 4 o'clock.
Unable to fall asleep after being woken up, Lin Qiaoqiao simply picked vegetables and chatted with the women.
Everyone knew she was pregnant, so she was definitely not allowed to do any physical work, so she was busy until dawn without realizing it.
