The night breeze is gentle.
Zhou Yubai carried Shen Qingli back to the room and made peace with her.
At this time, the atmosphere in Li Qiushu's home was extremely solemn.
"That little bitch didn't open the door for you?" Zhao Dahua was so angry that he wanted to smash the bowl.
"Well, I just said a few words and the big black dog they raised ran down the mountain, so I came back. The dog is taller than me when it stands up, so I have to feed the dog if I run slower." Li Qiushuo said while rubbing his legs.
He fell twice on his way back. What bad luck!
"What should we do? Our boss has fallen in love with Xu Lai Di from the next village, and now he is trying to make her his life or else we can't be controlled by the Xu family. They insist that we give them 5 yuan as a betrothal gift, so why don't they just go and snatch her away?" Zhao Dahua cursed angrily.
Sometimes he scolded Shen Qingli, sometimes he scolded Xu Laidie's whole family.
He cursed everyone he remembered, saying that except for his beloved son Li Yong, everyone else was a bad person.
After a while, Zhao Dahua got tired of scolding, "Old man, what should we do?"
"Let's find another opportunity tomorrow. Zhou Yubai is working at the brick factory, so it's easier to deal with Shen Qingli and those two brats." Li Qiushou coughed a few times, "Let's go to sleep first. It's late at night. If we talk any more, I'll be hungry again."
"It would be great if that little bastard died at night." Zhao Dahua cursed.
They both went to sleep.
Early the next morning.
Shen Qingli got up, holding her waist, and looked at Zhou Yubai sadly. She begged for mercy last night and did everything Zhou Yubai asked, but this man always said nice things to her.
In action...
snort!
bad person.
Zhou Yubai looked at Shen Qingli's lively little appearance, his eyes became more gentle, he raised his hand and pinched Shen Qingli's little face.
"You're still bullying me." Shen Qingli widened her eyes. The little girl was already pretty, and now she was pouting, which was extremely adorable.
Zhou Yubai bent down and kissed her on the lips. Her lips were so soft that he wanted to kiss her again. He almost... accidentally discharged his gun last morning.
"Stop making trouble. I'll go make breakfast. You have to go to the brick factory later. The work there is hard and you can't go without a meal." Shen Qingli said breathlessly with her hands on her chest.
In front of the handsome man, she actually didn't want to push him away...
However, labor is the most glorious, and you have to do it even if you don’t want to.
Zhou Yubai picked up Shen Qingli and gently placed her on his shoes.
Shen Qingli patted him twice to vent her anger before going to the kitchen.
Niu Niu and Gou Wa have already woken up. In order not to disturb their parents' rest, the two children are writing and drawing in the room. They are very well-behaved.
Seeing Zhou Yubai and Shen Qingli go out, Niu Niu came out to wash, and Gou Wa also came out to wash with a stick.
Gou Wa's leg injury has recovered well and now he doesn't feel any pain when he moves.
"Good morning, Mom and Dad." Niu Niu and Gou Wa greeted them with a smile.
"Good morning, Niuniu, Gou Wa." Shen Qingli said with a smile, "I'm going to make breakfast now. You must be hungry."
"Mom, we're not hungry yet. We ate a lot last night." Niu Niu patted her belly, looking very cute.
Shen Qingli was amused.
The sunshine in the early morning is beautiful, and everyone is in a good mood.
For breakfast, Shen Qingli steamed four bowls of egg custard. The eggs were bought by Zhou Yubai yesterday. She also mixed some cucumber shreds into a cold stew and had cornmeal pancakes as the staple food.
The small grinder that Shen Qingli made herself is now usable. She re-grinded the originally rough cornmeal, and it became as fine as Fuqiang flour, and the pancakes are delicious.
After breakfast, Zhou Yubai went out to work.
Before he left, Shen Qingli brought him four cakes and a pot of water.
"The weather is hot, so drink more water and work slowly. If you are hungry, eat some biscuits. I will bring you lunch at noon," said Shen Qingli.
"The brick factory is quite far away, don't bother yourself." Zhou Yubai didn't want Shen Qingli to get tired.
"It's okay, I'll walk over slowly. To do such heavy work, I must eat well." Shen Qingli insisted.
Zhou Yubai knew that he couldn't refuse Shen Qingli's decision, so he nodded and said, "You take Xiao Hei with you."
"No need. What could happen in broad daylight? Xiao Hei stays at home with Gou Wa and Niu Niu. I'm worried about them. When we are not at home, I don't know if Mrs. Li and the others will come to cause trouble." Shen Qingli said in a low voice.
Although the relationship has been severed, some people have no bottom line.
Zhou Yubai frowned. One dog was really not enough... He had to go and urge the military dog. If that didn't work, he would just send a telegram. It would be quick.
The two men talked for a few more sentences before Zhou Yubai left.
Niu Niu and Gou Wa were also sent to the gate.
Zhou Yubai walked a distance away and looked back. Shen Qingli, Niuniu and Gou Wa were still standing there.
This is the feeling of home, having someone to care about, and also having someone to care about.
Zhou Yubai felt warm in his heart; he was finally not alone anymore.
Shen Qingli and the others returned to the yard only after seeing Zhou Yubai walking away.
Xiao Hei slept in the yard last night and got up early in the morning to run to the mountain to look for food.
"Mom, I can go to the foot of the mountain to collect firewood today." Niu Niu said. She felt like she hadn't worked for a long time and was a little flustered with happiness.
"Niuniu's family has enough firewood. There's no need to collect firewood for the time being." Shen Qingli smiled as she braided Niuniu's hair.
"Then I'll help mom wash clothes." Niu Niu raised her little hand.
"Mom, my legs don't hurt anymore. I can't do heavy work, but I can collect grass for pigs." Gou Wa also said that he could work.
"We don't have any pigs, so why would we cut grass for pigs?" Shen Qingli asked with a smile, "But now that you mention it, I think when we build our house, we can leave a space for a chicken coop in the backyard, and we can raise two chickens."
"Great, I can catch bugs and feed chickens every day!" Niu Niu was so happy that she almost jumped up.
Gou Wa’s eyes are also sparkling.
"When Yu Bai comes back in the evening, I'll ask him to borrow elementary school textbooks from the team leader Sun Zi. I'll first take a look at Gou Wa's level. When your legs are healed, you'll be able to keep up with him when you go to school." Shen Qingli said.
Gou Wa was stunned. It was true that he was being allowed to go to school!
Shen Qingli talked to the two children for a while and then went back to work.
There were still some cloths that hadn't been dyed, so she dyed two more batches today and finally finished dyeing the five pieces of white cloth she had bought earlier.
After dyeing the cloth, it’s time to prepare lunch.
At this time Xiao Hei came back, holding a pheasant in his mouth, and rushed directly into the yard.
"Mom, Xiao Hei brought back a pheasant!" Niu Niu shouted excitedly.
Shen Qingli went out and used her mental power to check around. There was no one around, so she stepped forward and rubbed Xiao Hei's head. Xiao Hei was simply the lucky dog, and he could do anything at home or hunting.
"Hei is awesome!"
Xiao Hei wagged his tail happily.
Niu Niu rushed over and hugged Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei didn't hide either. He played with Niu Niu and the yard was filled with joyful sounds.
Shen Qingli cleaned the pheasant neatly, fried it in the pan, and then prepared some green vegetables and made potato sauce with soy sauce. The staple food was glutinous rice, a mixture of whole rice and brown rice.
You still have to be careful when eating out.
The weather was hot, Shen Qingli thought for a moment and cooked another pot of mung bean soup, saving the rice and soup for the two children.
She filled two lunch boxes and a military jug of mung bean soup, and carried a basket to go out.
"Gou Wa, come here and lock the door. Niuniu, you can't go out until mom comes back. After you've eaten, play with Xiao Hei for a while, then take a nap." Shen Qingli warned.
With Xiao Hei at home, she feels at ease going out.
Xiao Hei barked twice, as a reminder for Shen Qingli to rest assured.
"Mom, please go and bring food to Dad. I will take good care of Niu Niu." said Gou Wa.
Shen Qingli smiled and nodded, then went out, making sure Gou Wa had locked the door before heading towards the brick factory...
