"What happened to what my cousin dug up? Can't he bring it over?"
Zheng Qianqian asked him with raised eyebrows.
"...You are not young anymore. You should keep your distance from men." Li Dashan said.
Zheng Qianqian: "?"
He lowered his head and glanced at the melon seed rinds held in his other hand. After walking a few steps, he came to the kitchen door and threw all the melon seed rinds on Li Dashan.
"I am the age of a flower, and you are not young!"
"...Brother Qian, don't be angry!"
Li Dashan raised his hand in annoyance and slapped his own mouth. If you can't speak, then don't speak!
Look, Brother Qian is angry again.
Tao Zhu stood aside, speechless.
It's not unfair to call Li Dashan stupid. He has been following Li Qiao for so long. Not only has he learned all kinds of sweet words, but he has also at least improved his emotional intelligence.
Alas, sorrow.
Given this situation, can these two get married by the end of the year?
Li Qiao stood at the door of the front yard and the back yard, speechless.
Seeing that it was almost noon, he felt his head was buzzing after reading all morning, so he put down the book and planned to go to the front yard.
As a result, I just happened to hit this scene.
Sighing softly, he turned and returned to the study. Li Dashan was stupid, but who was his eldest nephew? He couldn't throw away this stupid nephew, he had to teach him well.
So, that night, when Li Dashan was about to go home, Li Qiao gave him a strategy for chasing a husband that he had written at noon.
Li Dashan opened it, took a quick look, then immediately looked at Li Qiao, and said excitedly: "Thank you, uncle! When Brother Qian and I get married, I will give you a toast!"
"Go, go, go, you really want to marry Brother Qian back."
Li Qiao waved his hand and told him to go back and memorize the guide.
"Okay!" Li Dashan carefully held the guide in his arms and trotted home.
After he left, Tao Zhu looked at Li Qiao and asked curiously: "What is written on it? Are they the tricks you used on me?"
"What do you mean by using tricks on you? I have never used tricks on you. It's all about showing my true feelings."
Li Qiao looked serious.
Tao Zhu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but he quickly added: "Actually, Brother Qian likes mountains, I can see that. I'm not worried about them."
"But Chuntao is indeed not young."
The one who really should worry is Li Chuntao.
"Don't be in a hurry, pick slowly. There are many matchmakers coming to the door anyway, so take your time to look at each other."
Li Qiao wasn't worried.
Only eighteen years old, just coming of age.
Now, as he became famous, not only the matchmakers from these eight villages came to visit, but also the matchmakers from the other side of the town and even other towns.
These matchmakers mainly serve as matchmakers for Li Shu and Li Chuntao.
In addition, Li Ershan, Li Xiaoshan and Li Xia were also targeted.
Li Qiao did not turn away these matchmakers. As long as they came, Tao Zhu would record them, and then he would quietly invite people to go to these people's villages to inquire about them.
However, for now, there is no suitable one for Li Shu.
Because the matchmaker introduces either a widower or an old bachelor who is not young but has no wife or husband.
But there are some good young people on Li Chuntao's side, but Li Chuntao is worried that these people are coming for him, so he hasn't let up on any of them yet.
In fact, Li Qiao also had this worry. He didn't want to go to the trouble of coming to the door. As time goes by, people's hearts will change, so let's take another look.
Time flies by, in March, the weather is getting hotter day by day. During the day, the bucket in the shower room is filled with water. After a day of hard work by the sun, you can take a bath directly with the water in the bucket at night. No need to Boil extra hot water.
Without the process of heating hot water, they can save a lot of energy. Li Qiao and Tao Zhu go to the shower room more often. Whoever uses it will know the beauty of showering!
It was raining lightly that day, and Zhuang Fengshou came to see Li Qiao.
The sweet potato workshop has completely stopped working. I don’t know if it’s because the county’s starch has been consumed or because some people are unwilling to sell starch to Sanliu Village. Anyway, Sanliu Village and Wangyuelou haven’t purchased starch for half a month.
Zhuang Fengshou went to the county government today. The wheat harvest will be next month. For this reason, Jiangzhi County convened a meeting of village chiefs from all over the county to inquire about the wheat growth status of each village.
There has been enough rain this year, the wheat is growing well, and it is another bumper year.
Li Qiao knew as early as two months ago that Jiang Zhixian had not been transferred. This was what shopkeeper Wang told him.
Shopkeeper Wang deals with the rich and noble, and he is always well-informed.
At this time, Li Qiao couldn't help but sigh after hearing Zhuang Fengshou's words: "The magistrate is so concerned about the spring harvest. He is really a good official."
"No."
Zhuang Fengshou nodded.
Jiangzhi County is really great.
After Jiang Zhixian confirmed that he would continue to serve in Pingcheng, he specially called him to the county government office. In order to frighten the villagers, he repeatedly emphasized that anyone who dared to leak the recipe would not only have to pay money, but also go to jail.
Jiangzhi County called him to the county seat to supplement this shock.
Jiang Zhixian clearly told him that if anyone dared to leak the prescription, his whole family would be imprisoned.
So no one should have any crooked ideas, and don’t think that one person will be in jail and the whole family will be happy. There is no such good thing. If one person commits a crime, the whole family will be in jail.
Jiang Zhixian, as the parent official of Pingcheng, was more effective than him in speaking. After he returned to the village, he relayed these words, which scared the villagers into raising their hands and swearing that they would never dare to reveal the recipe.
With Jiangzhi County in charge, the sweet potato workshop in Sanliu Village will definitely make a lot of money this winter.
However, Zhuang Fengshou came here today not to praise Magistrate Jiang.
Zhuang Wen will go to Fucheng to take the college examination in a few days. Time is tight, so Zhuang Wen will not return to the village, but Zhuang Wen wants to hear a few words from Li Qiao.
"No matter what you say, it will put his mind at ease, so you can write whatever you want and I will bring it to him tomorrow."
Li Qiao: "..."
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
After thinking for a while, he said: "I will go to the county seat tomorrow and have a few words with Brother Wen in person."
"Will this take up too much of your time?" Zhuang Fengshou was stunned for a moment, then he was pleasantly surprised, but also a little embarrassed.
"No, it just so happens that there is something I don't understand that needs Brother Wen to explain."
"Okay, let's go together." Zhuang Fengshou nodded immediately, as fast as if he was afraid that Li Qiao would regret it.
Well, it's not that he has to take up Li Qiao's time, it's that Zhuang Wen has been studying for thirty years. He doesn't put pressure on Zhuang Wen, and Zhuang Wen puts pressure on himself.
Although Zhuang Wen is about to become a grandfather at a young age, in front of his old father, Zhuang Wen will always be a child.
Besides, being admitted as a scholar is beneficial to the entire banker.
No matter he is the head of the family or an old father, so Li Qiao is now willing to go to the county seat, but he does not want to refuse against his heart.
So, the next day, Li Qiao and Zhuang Fengshou drove an ox cart to the county seat.
It was still raining lightly. Although the rain was not heavy, it had been raining for two days. The dirt roads in the countryside could not withstand the torment of the rain and accumulated a lot of water.
It originally took more than an hour to reach the county seat, but Li Qiao and Zhuang Feng took more than two hours, which was slower than walking——
The road was muddy and they had to push an ox cart in some areas, which delayed them for some time.
Standing at the gate of the city, Li Qiao and Zhuang Fengshou took small wooden sticks to scrape the yellow mud on the soles of their shoes. After scraping, Li Qiao looked at the "cement road" behind him, and the idea of building a road came to his mind again. idea.
But there is no cement at this time. If you want to build a smooth road that is not afraid of rainy days, you can use blue bricks or stone slabs.
Either way, it's a huge number.
Thinking of the money that might be spent, Li Qiao hid his thoughts on building the road, forget it, and talk about it later.
He entered the city with Zhuang Fengshou.
As the college exam was approaching, Zhuang Wen was looking forward to it and nervous. He talked a lot more than before. Not only did he have many questions to ask Li Qiao, but he also talked about the exam preparation plan that Master Chen had prepared for them during this period.
Zhuang Wen couldn't stop talking, and the rain was getting heavier, so Li Qiao stayed in the county town for one night and went home the next day.
However, he spent a lot of money to ask a clerk from Wangyuelou who had been to Sanliu Village to send a letter to Tao Zhu, so that Tao Zhu did not have to worry.
After not seeing each other for a night, when Li Qiao returned home and saw Tao Zhu, he took Tao Zhu back to the backyard without caring about anyone else in the yard.
This was the first time that he and Tao Zhu were separated since they got married. Not seeing each other for a night felt like three autumns.
So is Tao Zhu.
Tao Zhu was used to his embrace. He was not here last night and Tao Zhu stayed up almost all night.
The two of them lay on the kang and after kissing and hugging each other, Li Qiao looked at the red bloodshot eyes in Tao Zhu's eyes and felt very distressed. He stretched out his hand and touched Tao Zhu's eyelids: "No matter where I go from now on, I’ll take you with me as much as possible.”
Tao Zhu pursed his lower lip and hummed slightly.
"Then let's sleep for a while." Li Qiao said, kissing him on the lips and eyelids, and then hugged him tightly.
Tao Zhu only hesitated for a second and then closed her eyes in his arms.
Forget it, let him be willful for once.
The couple caught up on their sleep, and it was already dusk when Li Qiao woke up.
When I opened my eyes, everything was dim.
But feeling the comfortable and familiar body temperature of the person in his arms, Li Qiao's heart was full and satisfied. He lowered his head carefully and was about to kiss Tao Zhu quietly, when Tao Zhu opened his eyes.
Tao Zhu was confused for two seconds, and then he saw Li Qiao clearly smiling at him, and his eyes immediately curled up.
Before she could speak, Li Qiao's kiss fell.
Tao Zhu: "..."
While he responded to Li Qiao, his whole body was wrapped around Li Qiao.
Anyway, I slept until this point and was completely ruined.
