The Green Lotus Peasant Girl

Many people in the room were noisy. When they saw her coming in, Zhou's mother smiled and urged, "Everyone is tired today, so go back to bed earlier."

Zhou Chengkang helped her fetch water and wash, and the two of them returned to the room after washing. It is worth mentioning that there are two water rooms in Zhou's family, which are divided into men and women.

"It was the third sister-in-law who wanted it, and my mother also thought it was more convenient for the two. They were built a few days ago." Zhou Chengkang explained in a low voice, pulling her in the door and helping her wipe her hair.

Her hair was thick and dense, and it took a long time to wipe and half dry, and she was close. Zhou Chengkang only felt that the sweet fragrance on her body was rushing to the end of her nose. He couldn't help throwing away the veil, taking her into his arms from behind, and placing his hands on her. On the slender waist, he sighed contentedly, "I finally married you."

Li Qinghe laughed.

Hearing her chuckle, Zhou Chengkang heard her hair, very satisfied, "I always feel unreal."

Li Qinghe couldn't laugh or cry, stretched out his hand to push him, "My hair is still dry, hurry up and move away. I hold it all, still feel unreal?"

He couldn't push away. Instead, he bent over and hugged her. Seeing that she was about to exclaim, he sighed and whispered, "There are many people outside."

Li Qinghe glared at him and whispered, "Candlelight."

The room was lit, and occasionally people's shadows would be reflected on the window. Zhou Chengkang smiled at her clearly, placed her gently on the red Baizixi blanket, got up and blew out the candle.

The night is still long.

The next morning, Li Qinghe was awakened by the person in his ear, instead of using sound, he just blew and blew there. When he opened his eyes, he saw the sky outside and it was still early, so he turned and stared at him, "You are not tired." ?"

"I'm not tired." Zhou Chengkang reached out and hugged her, "I didn't fall asleep last night, thinking about being nice to you, in our days, our children..."

Li Qinghe couldn't bear it and covered his head with the quilt, "I'm tired!"

Behind him was his low laughter, and it was impossible to sleep. The two of them got up early, went to the pond to feed the fish, and looked at the chicks. They died a few days ago, and a lot of them died now. The weather is warm, and the chicken is much bigger, basically no dead.

After feeding the fish and chickens, I went to the field to look at the crops. This wasteland is not a little bit different. The seedlings in the land are lush and lush, but the seedlings that grow out here are not tall. They are yellow and dying. .

"It should be better next year." Zhou Chengkang comforted.

When the two returned home, the sun came out. The fifth sister in the yard was feeding the pigs. Zhang Haiyao's exaggerated voice was the first to hear, "The sun is already high, and I haven't gotten up yet. I thought I was lazy. what……"

Zhou Laosan frowned when he saw the two people outside the courtyard, "Say a few words."

Hearing that, Zhang Haiyao became more and more annoyed, "Why don't you say nothing, there is one more person in this family, why is it my turn to cook?"

In a blink of an eye, I saw the two people at the door, and looked a little surprised at Zhou Chengkang's house over there, and then at the two people at the door, "Are you out?"

"Go to feed the fish." Zhou Chengkang's expression was cold and solemn, "Sansao may not cook our meals in the future."

Originally, Zhang Haiyao felt embarrassed. People came back from going out to work. It was not because she was too lazy to get up. When she heard this, she couldn't help her, "Speaking lightly. If I don’t cook your food alone, mother is there. Time to train me."

Zhou Chengkang did not answer this, but looked at Zhou Lao San.

Zhou Laosan immediately scolded, "My mother never trained you."

Zhang Haiyao gave a cold snort and turned into the kitchen.

Li Qinghe and the two went to the well to wash their hands. He whispered, "In the morning, the eldest brother and they will take the aunt to sell tofu in town. They get up early in the morning and go to bed early at night. Basically, they only have a meal at home. Basically, they don’t come back to eat. Usually the third brother and the others eat at home most often, and my mother lets the third sister and the fifth sister cook at home, so they don’t have to go to the ground."

With this calculation, when Zhou Chengkang was not married, there were not many people eating at home.

I heard Zhang Haiyao shouting over there, "Qinghe, come in and help me set a fire."

Zhou Chengkang patted her on the shoulder and pushed her into the room, "I didn't sleep well last night, so I went back and rested quickly."

He didn't sleep well, but he was the culprit.

Seeing him entering the kitchen, Li Qinghe frowned and followed in. He saw that he had already burnt the fire, and Zhang Haiyao looked at him in amazement, "No, why are you here, what does this look like?"

"Can't I burn it?" Zhou Chengkang asked back.

"Your daughter-in-law is too shameless, where can you come to work and she will rest..." Before the voice fell, Li Qinghe had already stood at the kitchen door, "I'll do it."

Having said that, Zhou Chengkang could not be helped but pushed out.

"That's the truth." Zhang Haiyao was very satisfied, "I tell you, in the future, we will cook the meals in this house one person a day, or one person one meal, and the sister-in-law will wash the dishes. This is the rule set by my mother when I walk in."

Li Qinghe responded and had no objection. When eating breakfast, there were indeed a lot fewer people than last night. There was only a table set up. Just after eating, there were people outside without clearing the dishes.

He was accompanied by a woman in her fifties who was neatly dressed and 90% new.

Mother Zhou hurriedly greeted, "Auntie, come sit down."

He also introduced Li Qinghe, "This is my aunt, you can call my aunt, she has helped our family a lot."

Li Qinghe yelled someone obediently. Aunt He was very happy. After looking up and down, she praised, "I am a good girl, the fourth child is blessed."

The guests came over there, and they hurriedly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. When Li Qinghe finished cleaning the table and was about to leave, Zhou's mother called her, "Qinghe, call your Sansao and them all to discuss something."

As early as when people came in, Li Qinghe had guessed. Yesterday's happy event came back today. It looked like... from debt collection.

You must know that most of the gifts given by people at present are copper plates. Yesterday the Zhou family received nearly a couple of silver.

She didn’t ask too much, just knowing something in her heart. Zhang Haiyao was puzzled when she said that there was something to discuss. When everyone was there, the aunt smiled, “It’s difficult for Zhou’s family that day. Two silvers. A few days ago, my son wanted to move to the town. He chose a yard. The yard is really good. The light, feng shui and size are all suitable. We have watched it for a few years, and finally met It is suitable, but the silver is a little bit of a hand..."

Everyone has understood the unfinished meaning.

Mother Zhou was a little nervous, Li Qinghe lowered her head and said nothing, Zhang Haiyao over there immediately said, "I remember that my quilt hasn't been dried yet, and I will come soon."

Wanting to know that after running away, she won't come back again, Zhou Mother said hurriedly, "Haiyao, don't worry about drying the quilt for a while."

Zhang Haiyao, who turned around, looked very ugly, and her tone was not polite, "What do you want to say?"

Zhou's mother lowered her eyes, "Zhou's family is poor, everyone knows that when the boss got his wife, he only took five coins for a small set. The second child also used five coins for making new clothes. I know, mine. My mother didn’t do well and made them feel wronged. But when I got to the third child, I made a small set of three or two, and then you had to pay five or two for the betrothal gift. I didn’t say anything about it when I got off the sedan chair. I have spent so much money."

"What do you want to do now?" Zhang Haiyao looked straight at her, "I have been in the door for a few months, and now you settle these accounts with me, what do you want to do? How can you let the daughter-in-law pay off your betrothal debt? I'm afraid I will laugh out loud when I say it out."

"I want to borrow the silver." Zhou Laosan gave her a handful. "At the beginning I said I couldn't get the betrothal gift. You let me borrow it."

"Fart!" Zhang Haiyao was angry, "I asked you to borrow it. I didn't say that this bill is waiting for me to pay it back."

Seeing this, Aunt He got up and said, "You can discuss it, and I will come back tomorrow." She added, "The yard will be paid for the land lease the day after tomorrow."

After speaking, she went out first.

He's walking behind sighed, "Don't blame your mother, she is already bitter enough." Then he looked at Zhang Haiyao, "Don't think that our Zhou family lied to you, when the third child was with you, in your heart It’s clear that Zhou’s family has to have so many dowry gifts. For a normal marriage, Xiaoding plus dowry and door-to-door gifts will cost you two taels of silver at most. You want so much. You only know why."

"What am I doing for?" Zhang Haiyao asked, "What happened to my married couple getting the bride price?"

"The daughters of the mayor's family don't have to marry a couple like you. I'm not afraid to tell you, you just want to give you all the savings of the Zhou family's brothers for many years." He's tone is solemn and unceremonious. Pierced her mind. Looking at Zhou Chengcai, "The third child, you must marry this daughter-in-law. If you are married, you should have a man to take care of it. Do you want your mother to pay you off the debt?"

Zhou Chengcai didn't say a word. Zhang Haiyao became even more angry when he saw this. Yu Guang glanced at the silent fourth couple on the side. His inspiration flashed, "Where is Qinghe?

Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "I didn't want my one, but the Zhou family took the initiative to send it." In the words, there was no intention to show it.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Haiyao was a little proud and said quickly, "Unless she pays it back, otherwise I won't pay it back!"

He Shi waved his hand, "I'm back, you can discuss it yourself."

Zhou's mother looked sad, "I'm not afraid to tell you that in order to marry a few of you, the food was sold out last year, and now the food is borrowed, waiting to be repaid after the autumn harvest."

There was a moment of silence in the room, and Zhang Haiyao frowned, "If you can't get through, you will split up and find your own mouth."

As soon as he said this, the room became quieter.

Parents are here, regardless of family. Separating families in advance always means cursing the elders to die quickly. Mother Zhou closed her eyes and waved her hand for a long while, "I have raised you up to now, and ask myself that I am worthy of the Zhou family. Wait a while for the boss and them to come back, and then invite the second child. Let me make it clear today."

"I have to make it clear first." Mother Zhou opened her eyes and looked at Zhang Haiyao. "Generally, a girl’s family will get married, and two or two dollars is enough. At the beginning, your family said three and two small fixed, and then you don’t want anything. The girl in the town, marrying our family is wronged, I need more than I can accept before I bring the matchmaker to the door."

"But I didn't agree to the betrothal gift later, it was the third one who insisted on it, and he ran to borrow it. You have to give out this money anyway."

Zhou Chengcai gave a dull voice. This was a promise. Zhang Haiyao immediately became angry, "What about Qinghe?"

"The fourth child, he borrowed it himself. I don't accept this account either." Zhou Mu hung her head, her voice was heavy, and her shoulders seemed to be a little more broken.

Seeing her like this, Li Qinghe felt uncomfortable, "I pay the money. I hope that the third wife will also have her say."

"What!" Zhang Haiyao was stunned.
