Chapter 508 Carrying a Pot
"Okay, let's make stew." He felt embarrassed because of her misunderstanding of Zhuang Yonghe, so she naturally did as Zhuang Yonghe said.
"I'll go and light the fire for you." Zhuang Yonghe also stood up and helped He lift the curtain.
"You've been busy all morning, take a break. I'll call you when dinner is ready." He stopped him.
"It's the same whether you roast over a fire here or in the kitchen. There's no difference." Zhuang Yonghe walked towards the kitchen without paying attention. "By the way, you didn't finish what you said just now. You said you had something to say, but I didn't understand what it was..."
"Nothing. I just went to the tofu shop to get tofu water today, and I saw a sheep running into the field to eat wheat seedlings. I shooed it away for a long time before it came out... I just want to remind you, and everyone else, to keep an eye on the sheep and cows at home, so that they don't eat anyone else's crops and cause a quarrel..."
He stammered and made up a lie.
But I sighed in my heart.
Even though Zhuang Yonghe happened to bring up the matter, she didn't say what was in her heart in the end.
"Really?" Looking at his wife's blushing face, Zhuang Yonghe didn't quite believe what she said.
"How could it be fake? If there was something real, would I not tell you?" He lowered her head and dug out a cabbage from the cellar. "Okay, okay, quickly bring the fried dried tofu from yesterday, chop it up, and stew it with the cabbage and mix it with the meat slices. Mingliang loves this the most."
Zhuang Yonghe sighed and went to get some dried tofu.
Thinking back to how He had just hesitated and blushed, and then thinking back to what she had just said about going to the tofu shop to fetch soy milk and chasing sheep in the fields in the morning...
If you look closely, He's eyes seem to be a little red, as if she had shed tears.
Could it be that he misunderstood him at first because of the rumors outside, and then he happened to see Widow Liu leaving the village in the morning, so he wanted to ask him about this.
Fortunately, fortunately...
Zhuang Yonghe patted his chest, feeling a little scared.
Fortunately, after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that he should explain the matter clearly to He no matter what. If he kept it a secret and waited for He to ask, no matter what he said, I'm afraid He would not believe him.
If that happens, life in this family will be unbearable.
It seems that from now on, couples really can no longer think about hiding anything. If they talk about everything openly, there will be no problem.
No matter how many people are out there looking for trouble, as long as the couple is of one mind, what else can they be afraid of? Zhuang Yonghe thought, and couldn't help but smile. He took the fried tofu and went to help He to cook. ——Zhuang Qingning returned home and cooked a bowl of hot and sour noodles with the hot noodles she had made in the morning.
After eating, they began the arduous task of sewing shoe soles.
After studying for a while, Zhuang Qingning finally found a suitable position for the thimble in his hand. He took the large thick needle with a hemp rope, held his breath, took a deep breath, and forcefully inserted the needle into the thick sole of the shoe.
The insertion of the needle was much easier and smoother than expected, and the removal of the needle was also effortless.
When Zhuang Qingning finished the first stitch, he heaved a long sigh of relief and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Sewing the shoe soles went much more smoothly than expected.
It seems that a certain Five still favors her and gave her not the embroidery task, but the shoe-sew task. After all, shoe-sew is considered a strenuous job, and her strength bonus can definitely come in handy.
As for the problem of making the soles smooth and the stitches even...
Zhuang Qingning thought about it, took a small bamboo stick, picked up a little rouge from the box, and carefully applied the rouge evenly on the sole of the shoe.
As long as you put the needle along the place where the rouge is applied, even if the stitches will be a little crooked, the overall look will definitely be very even and not so ugly that it is unbearable to look at.
I really have to send it back to Mr. He. If Mr. He uses it to make shoes for Zhuang Yonghe, it can be used and will not be wasted.
Smart as me!
Zhuang Qingning bit her lip, lowered her head, and continued to repeat the mechanical action of inserting and removing the needle.
After a cup of tea, a small piece of fruit had appeared on the sole of the shoe.
Not bad, not bad.
It seems that she has wronged a certain Five. This task looks very difficult, but it is not particularly difficult to actually carry out.
【……】
[If I say I forgot about you being a girl with super powers, will anyone believe me? ]
[Originally, for ordinary people, needle insertion is a very difficult task. At best, the needle cannot be inserted, and at worst, the needle is easily broken. Many people need an awl as an aid when sewing shoe soles. After the needle insertion, the next step is to pull out the needle. The slippery needle is difficult to catch, and it is often impossible to pull out the needle.]
[Because of these two difficulties, sewing shoe soles is originally a difficult task. I thought the host would have to work very hard to complete it, but I forgot that the host is a strong man who can slap a row of needles into his palm...]
[Mistake, mistake…]
A certain Five had been complaining in its heart for a long time, but because it had just been praised by Zhuang Qingning, if it rashly admitted it now, it would instead reduce its favorability in front of the host.
After much deliberation, a certain Wu decided to take the blame and shoulder it honestly.
Anyway, it's not just one or two people who are to blame, not to mention that this time the pot is white.
Zhuang Qingning didn't know what the five were thinking, and was still sewing shoe soles here with great interest. ——The government office was very busy at this time in the afternoon.
It was the end of the year and petty thefts were on the rise. There were also many conflicts caused by failed debt collection. The yamen runners had to deal with these incidents almost every day. The number of people patrolling the streets and the frequency of patrols also increased a lot, with almost no time to rest.
Ding Gaochang has had more dark circles under his eyes these days.
Because of these uneasy trivial matters, and more because of the Majiazhuang massacre.
There were 17 people in the Ma family of Mr. Ma in Majiazhuang, including the master and servants. 16 of them were poisoned to death in the house. Only a maid named Hongyu disappeared.
A whole family died tragically, with only one survivor. Even if Hongyu is not the murderer, she must at least know something. What's more, she is the only survivor in this case. To find out who the Ma family had an enemy with during their lifetime and who might have done this, we must start with Hongyu.
Unfortunately, Hongyu has disappeared since Mr. Ma’s family was wiped out.
Ding Gaochang led people to search everywhere, and finally found Hongyu at the home of Hongyu's uncle.
Although this person was found, Hongyu was already crazy at this time, and could only smile and eat foolishly.
