Chapter 68: Twisting into a Rope
A few hours later, Qin Huiyin was awakened by Li Taohua.
Li Taohua got off the ox cart first, then extended her hand to Qin Huiyin.
Qin Huiyin grabbed Li Taohua's arm and jumped down. Li Taohua quickly caught him, staggering and finally stabilizing herself.
"Still sleepy?" Li Taohua touched her head with concern. "Go to sleep for a while, and let us clean up here."
"I slept in the car for several hours and had a good sleep. I'm just a little groggy when I woke up. I just need to wash my face." Qin Huiyin patted her cheek and cheered herself up.
"Yinyin, go to sleep. We can't help you with business matters, but we can still share other housework." Tang Luwu said, "I will be responsible for cleaning the cart. You can come and check it tomorrow. If you find any unclean parts, you can deduct my wages."
"I'll be in charge of cooking. Don't worry about dinner, I'll take care of it." Li Taohua said, "I've been watching from the side for the past two days and I've learned a lot."
"I'll be in charge of stringing the coins." Tang Yi smiled and touched his nose, "If you can trust me..."
Money is not a trivial matter. If someone is dishonest, he can take advantage of this opportunity to embezzle a few dozen coins, and it is generally impossible to find out. Therefore, it is understandable that Qin Huiyin disagrees with him taking over this matter.
Qin Huiyin really got enough sleep, but seeing everyone so actively sharing family responsibilities, if she poured cold water on them at this time, it would dampen their enthusiasm.
"Thank you for your hard work. Little brother, we are a family. If I didn't believe in you, I wouldn't have taken you to do business and make money. The money is not mine alone. We all have a share. I can touch it, so why can't I? It's just that the copper coins are too scattered. I don't know how long it will take you to string them together by yourself. Don't be in a hurry to finish stringing as many as you can. String as many as you can. We can string together after dinner."
Tang Yi smiled and saw that not only did she not refuse, but she also considered him so much, her eyes were full of light.
So this is what it feels like to have family.
Although Qin Huiyin was no longer sleepy, she let everyone share the housework. It was not that she had no other things to do, for example, Li Taohua bought fifty chicks at the market, and she had to clean up the chicken coop.
Tang Dafu limped back holding the wooden basin.
"You're back."
Li Taohua saw the wooden basin he was holding and asked, "Are you going to wash clothes?"
"I also want to do something for everyone. The clothes you took off yesterday have not been washed yet, so I collected them and washed them." Tang Dafu said, "Wife, look, I washed them very clean."
Li Taohua took it, flipped through it, and said unhappily, "From now on, only wash your men's clothes, don't touch the two girls'. Even though they are just outer clothes, it's still not good if someone sees them."
What's more, one of the girls was not his own. The gossipers in the village could make the bones in the ground come alive. She didn't want others to use those dirty words to humiliate her daughter.
"Great!" Tang Dafu was not praised but criticized, feeling a little disappointed.
Li Taohua said calmly, "It is indeed clean. This is the first time I have seen a man washing clothes. In this respect, you are much better than the men in the village. It seems that my vision is still good."
Qin Huiyin saw with her own eyes that Tang Dafu's eyes, which were as dead as a pond, were glowing again. The eggplant that was like frost a moment ago regained its vitality in the blink of an eye and became energetic again.
Qin Huiyin: “…”
Her mother knows how to control men.
"What are you standing there for?" Li Taohua put one hand on her waist and said coquettishly, "Why don't you hang it up? Are you waiting for me to do it?"
"I'll hang it up right away." Tang Dafu limped towards the place where the clothes were hung, holding the wooden basin.
Tang family siblings: "..."
Seeing this scene, they had mixed feelings. On the one hand, they were a little happy to see someone conquer their father, who was as mediocre and chauvinistic as most men in the village. On the other hand, they felt sad and frustrated that he was willing to pay such attention to the woman he had just married, but had never thought of doing anything for his sisters. They, his own flesh and blood, were not as good as an outsider woman.
Qin Huiyin walked towards Tang Yichen's room carrying the paper she had just bought.
Seeing this, Tang Yixiao and Tang Luwu hurried over to help.
The previous thought completely disappeared. Now they felt that if they exchanged an irresponsible father like Tang Dafu for such a smart and capable sister, they would actually gain something.
When Qin Huiyin and others came in, they saw Tang Yichen sleeping on the desk.
On the desk was a pile of written papers, all densely covered with various styles of handwriting. Some were like iron paintings and silver hooks, some were like flying dragons and phoenixes, some were vigorous and powerful, some were neat and elegant, and some were like running dragons and snakes.
Different fonts, but each one is eye-catching.
This is the strength of the male protagonist.
Both the hero and the villain were born in such a countryside. However, one is the hero and the other is the villain. The hero's route is full of positive energy and inspiration, while the villain's route is beautiful, strong and miserable, with torture and killing all the way.
Qin Huiyin witnessed Tang Yichen's efforts with her own eyes and realized that he was a living person, not just words in a book. He read late into the night, he wrote furiously, and his motivation was not superficial.
"Brother, you are so awesome. These words are so beautiful." Tang Yi said with a smile.
Tang Yichen opened his eyes, slowly stood up, and looked at them confusedly with his ink-stained handsome face: "When did you come back? I fell asleep and didn't notice at all."
Qin Huiyin pointed to her cheek and suppressed a smile: "Wipe it first."
Tang Luwu took a handkerchief from the side and pointed to the place where the ink was stained when she handed it to Tang Yichen: "It's stained here."
Tang Yichen wiped it and saw the ink stains as expected.
"We just got back." Qin Huiyin said, "Have you been reading all day? No, you will be exhausted. We just bought fifty chicks, but we haven't built the chicken coop yet. You can do it!"
"The last sentence is the key point!" Tang Yichen also learned to joke with her.
The so-called "dignity without anger" and "no expression of joy or anger" in the book were not the early Tang Yichen. The current Tang Yichen has not experienced the pain of losing his loved ones, and there is no haze in his eyes, but clear as the moon.
The others were busy with their own work, according to the division of labor they had just assigned. Qin Huiyin and Tang Yichen were responsible for making the chicken coop.
Originally, the Tang family had a chicken coop. At that time, Tang Yichen's mother also raised chickens, but after she died, the chickens were eaten up and no one bought new chicks to raise. It has been so long that the chicken coop has been abandoned. Now it needs to be renovated before it can be used.
"The chicks are too small. It would be better if they were taken care of by an old hen." Tang Yichen said.
Qin Huiyin looked around and made sure that Li Taohua couldn't hear her in the kitchen. She lowered her voice and said, "My mother has never raised chickens, so she doesn't know these things. The chicken vendor advised her to bring the hens with her, but she blamed the vendor for forcing her to buy and refused to add the fifty cents. When I went back, the vendor had already left, so I didn't buy any."
"Girl, your mother can hear you..." Li Taohua had stood behind her at some point, holding a shovel in her hand, and spoke to her with a wry smile.
"Mom, I'm praising you. I say you are so amazing. The fifty chicks you picked are all so energetic." Qin Huiyin blinked her eyes and raised a flattering smile.
