Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly
Chapter 32 Chu Lao 4 Returns Home
"That won't do. Food is so important right now. It's enough for Grandpa to know. It won't be too late for Grandpa to taste it after you grow it."
"Grandpa Lizheng, dinner tonight is secondary. I'll discuss with you and the village chief about making money for the village last time. You must come to dinner tonight. I'll tell the village chief to come as well."
"Really? Okay, okay, grandpa will definitely come."
When Qinghe got home, he suddenly remembered that manual labor was still too slow. Why didn't he think of making a plow? Wouldn't it be faster to use cattle to open up the land? He returned to his hut, entered the space, searched for pictures of cattle plowing the land on the computer, found a piece of charcoal and sharpened it, and drew a double-sided plow on rice paper. Tomorrow he would go to the town to find Zhang the blacksmith to make it, which would be much faster.
After finishing the drawing, Qinghe went to the new house construction site. In the morning, Zhang Dahai, Li Dazhu, and Master Liang, who was good at work and had been working with them from another village, had laid the foundation with the workers. Aunt Chen and Aunt Chuanpeng were preparing lunch. They steamed four baskets of multi-grain buns and stewed a large pot of pork offal that was braised yesterday with cabbage and vermicelli. Before the meal started, the smell of the braised meat was everywhere. They made a cold salad of pig ears and cucumbers, a flavored eggplant, leeks and eggs, and a pot of wild vegetable egg soup. There were four dishes and one soup, and the amount of food was sufficient. Finally, when it was time to eat, everyone was drooling with greed.
No one spoke during the meal, there was only the sound of slurping food. The workers were eating meals that they could not even have during Chinese New Year, and they felt satisfied and touched. They would be guilty of not building the house quickly for such a good host who cooked such delicious food for them.
Everyone finished enjoying the meal mixed with spiritual spring water, feeling refreshed and all the tiredness from working all morning gone. After a short rest, they continued to work. In the past, when working for other families, they did not have enough to eat and everyone would not start working early. Now that they were full, everyone felt embarrassed to waste more time. After all, the rainy season was approaching, and they would try to get the host family to move in before the rainy season.
Thanks to the rich food provided by Chu Laoer's family, the speed of house construction was also very fast. A three-story house was completed within a month, allowing Qinghe's family to move into their new home before the rainy season arrived. This is a later story.
After spending a morning in the new house, Qinghe went home to prepare dinner with corn. She added yeast and sugar to the corn and white flour, added warm water, and kneaded the flour to ferment and set aside. In the evening, she continued to make steamed buns with the flour.
At this time, an uninvited guest came to the house. He was very tall, with bronze skin, and was strong. He looked very strong. Qinghe didn't recognize him at first.
"He girl,~~~" The person who came saw Qinghe and called out her name with a choked voice.
"Fourth Uncle is back. You have suffered." Hearing the words of the visitor, Qinghe searched her memory and found that the visitor was Chu Chuanshou, the fourth son of the Chu family.
This fourth uncle was not valued by the family since he was a child. Because he was born with a difficult labor, Mrs. Chu thought he was a debt collector. She ignored him since he was a child, beat him from time to time, and starved him. It can be said that he was treated almost the same as the second uncle. Fortunately, the second uncle and Qin secretly took care of him, so he lived safely in this family. Two years ago, Mrs. Chu asked the fourth uncle to go out to learn a craft on the grounds that Chu Qingran did not have enough tuition to study. When he learned well, he could make money to support Chu Qingran's studies.
"Fourth uncle is back, and we have separated." Qinghe looked at his fourth uncle. Although the separation of the family had nothing to do with him, he didn't want to be involved with them.
Qin and Chu Lao Er were in the room at this time. Hearing the noise, Qin went out to see what was happening. She was also embarrassed when she saw Chu Lao Si.
"Second sister-in-law, I'm back." Qin looked at him and said:
"Come inside!"
After saying that, he turned and went into the house.
When he entered the house, Chu Laosi saw his second brother lying on the bed, and felt sad. He didn't expect that his second brother was kicked out of the family in just a few months without him knowing it.
"Brother, I'm sorry. I didn't know what happened at home until I came back. I didn't know they treated you so cruelly. I don't agree to separate you. I will definitely find a way to bring you back."
Chu Lao Er's eyes turned red, "Lao Si, please stop causing trouble. I will not go back to that home. We are doing well now. At least your sister-in-law and the two children don't have to be beaten and scolded and go hungry every day. Now Qinghe has supported this family, and we really don't want to go back."
"Then I will move out and live with you. I will work and support you in the future." Chu Laosi suppressed his anger and said hatefully.
"As long as our parents are alive, we will not split up the family. You are a junior and cannot take the initiative to propose a split. Otherwise, you will be laughed at by the whole village and it will affect your future marriage. Our affairs are over. You should listen to your second brother and don't take the initiative to propose a split." Chu Lao Er loves this younger brother from the bottom of his heart. He is also the best brother of the whole family. He cannot let his own family affairs affect the fourth brother.
"Um"
The two talked about what happened during this period. Knowing that Qinghe could earn money to support the family, they looked at this usually silent niece with new eyes and became proud of this niece who could stand up. Knowing that the family was now clearing land and building a house, Chu Lao Si took out the copper coins he had saved and said:
"This is the money I saved. It's not much, but it can be used to pay for my second brother's medical treatment and for household expenses. It will last for a while, and then I'll earn more money. I can also do the work of clearing land and building houses at home. I'll start working tomorrow and go back to sleep at night. I really don't want to go back to that home." Looking at this fourth uncle, Qinghe's heart, which had been cold because of the old Chu family, finally felt a little warm. There was someone in this family who was a little humane.
Before everyone finished speaking, there was a commotion at the door: "Chu Lao Er, you are a shameless family. As soon as Lao Si came back, you urged him to come to you to complain. Don't think I don't know. You are so shameless to act pitiful and want the money that Lao Si earned."
"Old Four, come out here. Their family has been separated and has nothing to do with us. Get the hell back home."
"Yes, fourth brother, don't you think about who you are related to now? It's not good to betray your own people." Zhou also agreed with Liu's sour words.
"You came to the old house instead of going back to the village. People who don't know you would think you are a member of this family. Fourth brother, you can't be so ungrateful. After all, you are also a child raised by your parents. How can you abandon your parents and want your second brother?"
"Sister-in-law, even if we split up, he is still my second brother. Do you think I don't know what you are doing? My second brother's leg is injured, and you are afraid that his family will get you into trouble, so you drive him out of the house. Don't you think about the fact that the money we spent was all earned by my second brother, and all the housework was done by my second sister-in-law. Even Qinghe and her two siblings had to work to eat, and sometimes they had to go hungry. You should be conscientious and be careful of retribution."
