Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

After lunch, Liu Rusi sent little Qin Hao to take a nap because children need enough sleep.

Liu Rusi collected the dishes and was about to wash them, and Qin Yi stepped forward and said, "Let me wash them. Washing dishes shouldn't involve too much movement and won't involve the injury."

"Okay, scald it with hot water first, then add cold water and wipe it all over with a dishcloth, then scald it again, and put it in the cupboard next to you after washing." After Liu Rusi gave the detailed instructions, she turned and left.

So Qin Yi was the only one left in the kitchen to wash the dishes. He was stunned at the door where she disappeared. Was she going to give the job to him?

Then he shook his head with a smile and started washing the dishes resignedly.

Having never done this before, he washed the dishes in a hurry. Fortunately, no one saw his embarrassed look. It took him a long time to clean up the dishes.

But when he finished washing the dishes and returned to the front yard, he thought that she was also a lazy person, but his thought was shattered. She was chopping wood in the front yard, sweating profusely!

Sweat made her face translucent, excess sweat gathered at the tip of her chin. Her slender figure took a step forward, holding the somewhat heavy axe in both hands. As she swung the axe, the sweat scattered, some soaking her clothes, and some going nowhere...

Qin Yi's heart was in a knot. Perhaps it was because he was short-sighted. In his impression, such heavy work should be done by men!

Even if she was a widower with a child, how could she not have trouble finding someone to shelter her from the wind and rain? How could she be a lazy person if she was willing to do such rough work? !

"Let me do it!"

Qin Yi walked over quickly, and Liu Rusi immediately stopped the axe for fear of hurting anyone. He reached out to grab the axe, but she did not let go.

"Chopping wood will definitely hurt the injured part of your back. You were walking too fast just now. It will be difficult for your leg injury to heal like this." Liu Rusi said as she pushed his hand away, but failed.

Qin Yi then noticed that her hands were even rougher than his! He only had some thin calluses from practicing with weapons, but she had a thick layer of calluses between her fingers and palms, and there were also traces of bumps and cuts...

"Save the firewood for now! Chop it later!"

He felt distressed and annoyed at the same time. How could he be injured? Now that he encountered it, how could he just sit there and watch!

Against the light, the tall figure in front of him was outlined, wearing familiar clothes. He held her hand, his eyes full of heartache.

Liu Rusi was a little dazed, and the face she was missing overlapped with the person in front of her...

She shook off her thoughts, turned her head and looked at the horizon, smiled faintly and said, "We are running out of firewood. I'm afraid it will rain in a few days."

"Wait a minute, don't do anything else!" Qin Yi snatched the axe and threw it aside, then quickly walked into the house.

"Walk slower! Don't pull the wound!" Liu Rusi advised loudly.

But her advice was useless. Qin Yi hurried in and out, walked in front of her and handed her the golden thing in his hand.

"You can use it to buy firewood. Some farmers should have firewood stored. You can just buy the chopped ones." He knew that firewood would sometimes be requisitioned during marches and battles.

Liu Rusi looked at the dazzling gold ingots and swallowed slightly. Gold is always valuable. The pattern on it indicated that this was a ten-liang gold ingot!

One ounce of gold is equivalent to more than 10,000 yuan today, but he brought her 10 ounces of gold, which is more than 100,000 yuan, and asked her to buy firewood...

Liu Rusi accepted the gold ingot while estimating that if she really bought all the firewood, it should be able to fill every corner of her house.

"Does your leg injury hurt? How about I let Qin Hao take a look at it for you?"

"No, is this enough money for you to buy firewood?"

Liu Rusi's mouth twitched slightly, and she nodded and said, "That's enough. I'll go get some firewood now. You sit in the yard and don't run around easily."

Thinking that her stitches were strong and that she should be fine, she turned around, picked up a duck from the backyard, and went out to the nearby Huang family.

Soon Liu Rusi led Huang Dashi back and poured some water for him on the table. When Huang Dashi picked up the axe and started chopping wood, she went to the backyard again...

Qin Yi watched Huang Dashi chopping wood. After waiting for a while and seeing Liu Rusi not coming back, he couldn't help but ask, "What did Rusi do?"

"Just go do other work." Huang Dashi was, after all, a much stronger man and was used to doing this kind of work. He chopped wood with ease and accuracy with every blow of the axe, much more skillful than Liu Rusi.

Qin Yi couldn't help but stand up again. "Where does she get so much work to do?"

"Brother Qin, please sit down. She asked me to watch over you." Huang Dashi came over and helped him sit down. "I know you don't want her to be tired. You didn't even let her touch a kitchen knife before. But you just came back and you're injured! She's done so much farm work this year. You don't need to spend a few days recuperating!"

Qin Yi didn't agree with the saying "it doesn't matter if these few days are enough". It would be good to suffer one less day. But Liu Rusi might not agree with him, and he also wanted to know how Qin Lie got along with her...

Little Qin Hao is too smart. If he were to talk about Qin Lie and imitate his behavior, he might be seen through by little Qin Hao. Moreover, he would speak without restraint as a child... Someone like him who doesn't live with him but is familiar to him is suitable.

Under Qin Yi's intentional guidance, Huang Dashi had a pleasant conversation with him while chopping firewood.

But after chatting for a while, little Qin Hao woke up and came out, and greeted crisply: "Uncle Huang, Uncle Qin Yi."

Qin Yi could only sigh that the child woke up at a really bad time.

So in the front yard, Huang Dashi was chopping wood, little Qin Hao was reading, and Qin Yi was absent-mindedly teaching little Qin Hao...

The next day, just as Liu Rushi had said, it began to rain, and it was a downpour.

"Summer is about to begin, and there will be more rain. It just happened to rain today." While changing the bandage on Qin Yi's back, Liu Rusi explained why she said it would rain.

Qin Yi felt the tingling sensation from her touch while thinking about the little information he had learned yesterday...

After changing the medicine and bandaging, Qin Yi did not put on his clothes immediately like before, but said to himself: "I seem to be fatter than a few days ago?"

Liu Rusi took a look when she heard that. Qin Yi also had a good figure, but he was different from him.

"You're still thin." She said and walked out of the room, leaving him to deal with his leg injury himself.

Qin Yi silently analyzed that he and Qin Lie were of similar stature, and his clothes fit him just like his own. Even if he was a little thinner, the difference would only be slight, and he would probably be able to make up for it by eating more.

It was raining today, and Liu Rusi did not go out after taking care of the chickens, ducks and cows. She took the torn clothes she had accumulated and sat in the main hall to mend them. Little Qin Hao brought the sand table into the house and learned next to his mother. Of course, Qin Yi, as the teacher these days, was also teaching here.

It was just that little Qin Hao felt a little uncomfortable. Uncle Qin Yi sat between him and his mother. Although Uncle Qin Yi also sat on his right side the past two days so that he could read his writing more easily, but...

"Uncle, I don't want to learn articles for now. I want to practice calligraphy." Little Qin Hao suggested.

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, then said indifferently: "Then you practice, I'll watch from the side."

Then he watched Xiao Qinhao move the sandbox to the left, pick up the pen with his left hand, and start writing in a clumsy but serious manner...

His pair of phoenix eyes widened in disbelief. Could this guy really read minds? !

"Haohao, if you don't want to study, take a day off." Liu Rusi said with a smile. Normal students wish every day was Saturday and Sunday. Her son had been studying every day since he imitated her writing on the sand table when he was two years old. She felt tired just watching him.

Little Qin Hao was immediately struck by lightning. He just wanted to lead his uncle to the left and start learning!

"Mom..." Little Qin Hao hesitated for a long time, pouted his lips and looked at Liu Rusi pitifully, and decided to tell the truth. "Hao Hao just wants to be next to mom and let uncle go to the other side..."

Liu Rusi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She picked up the stool and walked to the left of Xiao Qinhao and sat down, rubbing his little head. "Why don't you just say it directly?"

Little Qinhao snuggled up to his mother and said shyly: "My uncle said that boys shouldn't be too clingy to their mothers..."

It makes sense, and she doesn't want to raise a mama's boy, but little Qin Hao would still be in kindergarten at this age in modern times.

"Haohao is still young, it's okay for him to be clingy occasionally."

Little Qin Hao was so happy that he went straight to his mother's arms. Liu Rusi quickly raised her hands and shouted, "Don't crawl yet! Mom has a needle in her hand!"

Qin Yi on the side squinted his eyes and glanced at little Qin Hao. He probably didn't have the ability to read minds, but he made him look like an outsider.

Little Qin Hao sat between his mother and uncle as he wished, and stopped practicing writing with his left hand. He moved the sand table to the right and looked at Qin Yi with interest.

The three of them each performed their duties. The morning time passed with the rain. By noon, the rain had become a little lighter, only a drizzle.

The people in the kitchen also had a clear division of labor. Xiao Qinhao washed the vegetables, Qin Yi lit the fire and cut the vegetables, and Liu Rusi cooked. Soon, lunch was ready.

After the last dish was served, Qin Yi naturally sat down on Liu Rusi's left, half a body away. Little Qin Hao sat on her right as usual. The three of them sat on one side of the round table. If an outsider saw them, they would think they were a close family.

Liu Rusi felt a familiar feeling coming over her, as if it had been like this before.

Qin Lie always liked to be on her left side. He said it was because he could use his right hand to pick up food for her... But she knew that Qin Lie didn't want her to see the scar on his left cheek, even though she had said many times that she didn't mind.

She ate absentmindedly, unlike before when most of her attention was on Xiao Qin Hao, but instead she looked more at the left in a daze.

Qin Yi was secretly delighted. His analysis was correct. Although she was still looking at the clothes, if he wanted to occupy the magpie's nest... Bah! He had to fill the vacancy in this family and make her feel that he was no different from the previous one.

But she was indeed not paying enough attention while eating. She was only eating the rice in her bowl, so Qin Yi unconsciously put some vegetables into her bowl.

Liu Rusi was stunned for a moment, and then said nothing. She came to her senses and picked up some more dishes, no longer just eating.

Qin Yi immediately reflected on himself and realized that he was indeed a little too quick in picking up the food at the beginning. He should have proceeded step by step.

Xiao Qinhao, I feel like something is strange today.

The rain stopped in the afternoon, and the fragrance of the grass after the rain made people feel particularly comfortable.

It was muddy outside, so Liu Rusi and little Qin Hao took a nap together for a rare occasion, and Qin Yi followed suit and took a nap for a while.

But Qin Yi thought that after waking up, the three of them would be happy in the main hall like in the morning, but he only saw little Qin Hao coming out.

"What is your mother doing?" Qin Yi frowned worriedly, wondering if she went to work in the mud.

"I'm talking to Sister Caiyun in the room." Little Qinhao turned to the part he had learned in the morning, and asked in confusion: "I call Sister Caiyun's father Uncle Huang, but Sister Caiyun calls me Sister Mom, so is she my aunt or my sister?"

It’s better to go out and work. Then Qin Yi smiled and said, “Didn’t you call me sister?”

"Well, mom said that girls who are older than themselves will be happier if they call them "sister." Little Qin Hao knew that he should call her that, but the relationship still felt confusing.

Hearing this, Qin Yi suddenly thought that although he knew that Liu Rusi was in her early twenties, he was not sure about her exact age... He did know that Qin Lie was three years older than her. What if he was younger than her and she liked older men? What should he do?

Not long after Xiao Qinhao finished his afternoon study, Liu Rusi and Huang Caiyun finally came out of the room. Caiyun felt a little awkward, and Liu Rusi held her arm and walked forward.

"Brother Qin...Yi, Brother Haohao, I want to go back." Caiyun said hello and left in a hurry.

But Qin Yi had a sharp sense of foreboding...

The sea was calm all night and there was no rain the next morning.

But Qin Yi felt like it was a landslide and tsunami!

Originally, Liu Rusi would come to help him change the dressing after breakfast, but he sat in the room and waited for Caiyun instead! Fortunately, he didn't take off his clothes in advance!

"Brother Qin...Yi, Sister Shi is busy with something, let me change the medicine for you..." Caiyun said with her eyes closed, as if she was ready to die. It was a good thing she didn't open her eyes, otherwise she would see Qin Yi's face as gloomy as a devil.

"Then I'll wait until she's done before changing." Qin Yi said coldly.

Caiyun was a little scared as she tightly grasped the gauze she had brought. She stammered, "The day you were rescued, I was there too. I was helping Sister Shi with the wound on your back. Don't mind it."

Listening to her words, which were obviously taught by someone, Qin Yi was furious. However, he adjusted his expression. This little girl should have changed her words and did not take the life-saving grace on herself.

"I have lost my memory, but I always feel that Ru Si is very familiar. I feel kind and close to her when she helps me change the medicine. But when I see you, I just think you are the little sister next door. I feel unhappy when I think that you are coming to help me change the medicine."

Caiyun opened her eyes quickly upon hearing this, and said in surprise, "I told you that you are Brother Qin! Sister Shi said you are not!"

Qin Yifeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said with a hint of sadness: "Maybe my appearance is too different from before."

"Well, it's not quite the same, but it's better now." Caiyun was struggling internally. Was it wrong for her to praise Sister Shi's husband for being good-looking? But it was a fact that he was better looking now.

"Ah... It's not just Rusi. I also feel close to and like Qin Hao. But I'm not sure who I am. What should I do to avoid scaring the mother and son?" Qin Yi frowned, as if he was in a dilemma.

"You must be Brother Qin! Brother Qin was like this before. He was very attentive to Sister Shi's affairs, fearing that she would be sad!" Caiyun immediately became enthusiastic. Brother Qin and Sister Si were renewing their relationship. What a touching story!

Qin Yi smiled knowingly, then asked in confusion: "Can you tell me about the past between Ru Si and me?"
