Although she thought it looked good, Chu Yue did not wear it. Instead, she closed the brocade box again and put it in the secret compartment where the silver was kept.
Living in the village now, it is really inappropriate to wear such expensive jewelry.
Moreover, the wealth is not exposed.
However, Mrs. Huang is so generous that when the situation in the town gets better, she still has to pay a visit.
Outside the house, Lu Xinghe and Lu Dagui pulled a total of two baskets of radishes, cut two ridges of cabbage, and filled half of the carriage. The remaining half had to be reserved for people, so they stopped collecting vegetables.
There are ten ridges of land next to the house, plus the land sold to Huang Mansion, a total of six ridges have been harvested today.
When the two came back, there was a thin layer of snow on the brim of their hats.
As soon as Lu Xinghe arrived under the eaves, Chu Yue came out to greet him, took off the bamboo hat on his head and said, "Ms. sir, come inside and rest for a while. You have to pay more attention to the injuries on your body."
Lu Xinghe exhaled a breath of cold air, "No problem, I mainly help collect the vegetables, Dagui does all the physical work."
Chu Yue looked at Lu Dagui on the side again, "Brother Dagui, thank you for your hard work today."
Lu Dagui hurriedly waved his hand, "It doesn't matter if it's not hard, I can still do such a small thing."
With his heavy breathing, the cold mist in front of him continued to form and dissipate.
Chu Yue smiled and took the bamboo hat that Lu Dagui took off, "The food is ready in the kitchen. I'll put the bamboo hat away and get you some hot water to wash your hands."
As she spoke, she went to the kitchen, fetched hot water from the hot water dispenser, and carried it outside.
Lu Dagui looked at Chu Yue's busy figure and felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of his daughter-in-law who had gone to who knows where.
In the past, Lu Xinghe's family was even poorer and more difficult than his, so Chu Yue also came with him.
Even though he was a bastard before, he never treated her harshly. Why couldn't the child just endure it a little longer?
But then again, if the child's mother hadn't left yet, he might still be the same confused person as before.
Just leave. After so long, he has accepted this fact. After all, he will just raise Tiedan well in the future.
Lu Dagui and Lu Xinghe washed their hands and went to the table to eat.
At noon there was porridge, a big bowl of Chu Yue's deep-fried radish balls, green onion and egg soup, and a plate of fried cabbage. The fragrant food was very appetizing, and both adults and children looked satisfied.
"Xinghe, if we go to the county town tomorrow, we should sell the thirty eggs that our family has saved. Five or six of the chickens we bought before are starting to lay eggs. Our family will not be short of eggs for the time being."
Lu Xinghe nodded, "Okay."
After dinner, Yun Cuihe stuffed Lu Dagui with two radishes and an egg and asked him to take it back.
Normally, it would be hard to settle the wages for helping out for half a day, so he would usually get food included, and he would be given some food for him to take home. Lu Dagui was also happy to do so, at least it would fill his stomach. Tiedan has eaten better these days and is growing stronger. is getting stronger.
Chu Yue looked at the snow falling more and more outside.
"Mom, do our chickens need to be moved to a different place? It's snowing. If they continue to be raised in the yard, it will get cold, right?"
Especially the chicks that have just hatched and grown to the size of a fist, don’t really freeze to death by then.
"Yueyue reminded me." Yun Cuihe hurriedly took off her apron, "I'll go to a pen in the pig pen and put the chickens and ducks there."
After saying that, he hurried to the pigsty next to the kitchen.
There is only one pigsty in the pigsty, and the mules are now enclosed in the pigsty. There is also a large area outside the pigsty, where the chickens and ducks can be penned just right, without interfering with the mules.
With the help of Lu Xingping and Lu Xingan, the four people moved the chickens and ducks to their positions in a short time.
Chu Yue went to the chicken coop and wanted to move the nest where the chickens laid eggs to the pig pen, but found that in the corner next to the chicken coop, there were three or four green-shelled eggs that were slightly larger than eggs.
Isn't this a duck egg?
She was overjoyed and quickly took the four eggs in her hands and looked at the figure who was still busy in the pig pen.
"Mom, our ducks have also begun to lay eggs."
Yun Cuihe didn't come, but the three children who had just gone into the main room to warm themselves by the fire ran out.
"Sister-in-law, show us the duck eggs." Lu Xingping ran towards Chu Yue despite the wind and snow.
Chu Yue smiled and handed the four duck eggs in her hand to him.
"Be careful, don't break it." He then looked at Lu Xing'an and Xiaozhu, "You all go back to the room. It's cold outside, don't catch a cold."
After saying that, he turned around and picked up the chicken coop and went to the pig pen.
After placing the chicken coop, Chu Yue breathed into her cold-red palms.
Seeing this, Yun Cuihe hurriedly said, "Go back to the house and warm yourself by the fire. Be careful, you have frostbite on your fingers. Your hand is for holding silver needles, so nothing will happen to you."
"Hey, the chickens and ducks have settled down. Mom, please don't stay out for too long."
After saying that, he put his hands on his head and ran into the main room in the wind and snow.
Lu Xinghe, who was reading by the brazier with his back to the door, seemed to know that the person coming in was Chu Yue, so he hurriedly moved aside and made room for him.
Seeing this, Chu Yue smiled and stepped forward to sit next to him.
Just as he was about to stretch out his hand to warm himself up by the fire, Lu Xinghe's big hand grasped it, "It's frozen like this, so you can't warm yourself up by the fire right away, otherwise you'll be more likely to get frostbite."
Chu Yue smiled, "How do you know?"
Lu Xinghe glanced in Chu Yue's direction with a nonchalant expression, and then his eyes returned to the book.
"life experience."
Just four words, Chu Yue was stunned at first, and then felt distressed. Then, looking at the hand tightly wrapped in his warm palm, a hint of sweetness filled her heart from time to time.
If it weren't for the three little carrot heads staring directly at her and Lu Xinghe, she would have wanted to take a sip on his face.
"Ahem!" Chu Yue pretended to cough twice and looked at the three people beside her pretending to be calm, "What are you looking at? Haven't you done anything of your own?"
Lu Xingping and Lu Xingan looked at each other, pursed their lips and quickly lowered their heads, continuing to practice calligraphy on the ground with the blackened firewood sticks in their hands.
Chu Wenzhu lifted the book he read and quickly covered his face.
"Sister, I didn't read anything."
Chu Yue glanced at her and immediately rolled her eyes, "You hold the books upside down, what can you see?"
After there was a moment of tranquility in the atmosphere, Lu Xingping burst out laughing, holding his stomach.
Lu Xingan covered his mouth with his hand, but the raised corners of his lips were clearly visible.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Chu Wenzhu turned his book around with some embarrassment and turned his back to Lu Xingping to read.
Lu Xinghe chuckled, his eyes never leaving the book in his hand.
Seeing that the three little ones were no longer staring at her, Chu Yue rested her side face on her arms, facing Lu Xinghe's direction, admiring his perfect side face without blinking.
The next moment, she saw Lu Xinghe holding her hands slightly tighter.
"Yueyue, you disturbed my reading."
