Splendid glory of a girl from another world

Chapter 117 Small talk
The next day was the Dragon Boat Festival, and I didn't go to bed until late last night. Li Qiusui took a look at the sky outside, stretched himself, and turned over.

Knowing that this thing is really noisy and panicking, it squeaks and screams endlessly in the morning, disturbing people's dreams.

What a hot day in May!It can kill a person early in the morning.

Unable to fall asleep, Li Qiusui got up slowly, Cuiping saw that she was moving, and came to help put on her clothes, and combed her hair in front of the mirror, and she regained her energy.

Cuiping told her the whereabouts of the family, "Master came back early in the morning pulling fruit trees, the wife went to work on the mountain, the third girl and the three young masters came to help."

Today is the holiday, the three brothers of Li Changshan have a day off, the house is full of busy work, how can they rest!As for the Liu family, she wished she could grow up on the top of the mountain, and Xia He would not be free to bring some tea later.

On the contrary, it was Li Qiusui, the arrangement on the mountain was clear yesterday, it didn't matter if she went or not.

Dressed neatly, he opened the door and went out. The front yard was clean, just a jujube tree. It was in flowering season, and the fragrance of jujube blossoms wafted into his nostrils. Then he took the toiletries and went to the backyard to wash up.

After washing up and turning around, Cuiping had tidied up the house neatly, and looked around to see if there was nothing wrong with her, before going to the front kitchen.

In the kitchen, Hongying was busy working around the stove, all the dishes were washed and put aside, there was red ashes under the stove, the porridge was almost ready, this is for the whole family to eat for breakfast Yes, the stove on the other side is steaming hot, and there is a stone on the top of the pot lid, which seems to be steaming steamed buns.

Seeing Li Qiusui, Hongying hurriedly said, "Girl, it's cool in the yard, and there's refreshments on the stone table, you can take a sip first, and you'll be ready for breakfast."

Li Qiusui saw that everyone was busy and wanted to help. She chose the latter when she went into the kitchen to help cook, or took a rest to cool off.

It's too hot!Let's go and cool off!
She didn't go to sit and wait by the stone table, but went to the backyard to grab some fly-repellent herbs and put them in an earthen jar, then lit it and put it in the doorway.

The door is wide open, and the cross wind blows over, and the herbal medicine immediately emits a slight smoke, and the mosquitoes and flies are gone.

She also carried a small bamboo basket, wandered into the vegetable garden in the backyard, and picked the tender cucumbers with thorny top flowers and good appearance, as well as the tomatoes, some of which were not so red, and there were no people around, so she simply used them. The ability has been ripened, and the pre-dinner fruit is ready.

Back and forth, I picked a full basket and carried it directly to the side of the well. After washing it, I didn’t need anyone else, so I put it on the plate by myself. One plate was red and the other was green.

Over there, Hongying brought over millet porridge, fried eggs, cucumbers, and tomatoes. This was breakfast.

In the yard, the dots of the sun shone through the branches and leaves of the jujube trees, and it became a little hot. Li Qiusui simply moved a small table, lifted a stool, and sat at the entrance of the gate, eating slowly.

Hongying saw that her forehead was covered with sweat, and there was nothing to do in the kitchen, so she brought a cattail fan over to help fan the air.

In the village, there are big girls and young daughters-in-law who come back from the field and pass by the door. They are busy with the fields, and they still have to take care of the house, wash and rinse, and make breakfast.

Huh?
They were all so busy chattering away, but in the end there was such a strange sight, everyone had to look at her and the small table a few more times.

Isn't this kid young?You came from a farmer's family, not to mention asking you to go to work in the fields, and you can always help at home, how can you be so leisurely?
Before, you can say that you are not at home, and you can't see the work at home, but now that you are home, why do you still think you are a young lady?
The old lady Ma next door, she belongs to leisure, although the door of her house is a dirt road, they sprinkle water specially, and sweep it clean, she likes to sit on the big stone squat in front of her house when she has nothing to do, people who come and go, Auntie and grandma, she should say hello if she is familiar with them, and she always likes to chat with others.

She watched Li Qiusui's operation from beginning to end, and she looked around for a while, passing by the door of the house several times.The fourth child in her family helped Li Sanzhu plant fruit trees in his house yesterday. Not to mention, he really took dozens of copper coins home at night, but he will go again early this morning.

How much money does Li Sanzhu's family have enough for this girl to make?

The old lady Ma was like a cat scratching her heart, and wanted to talk to that girl, but who knew that the girl was only focused on eating besides calling her Grandma Ma.

So, holding the soles in his hand, he sat down on the stone squat in front of Li Qiusui's house, pretending to hold the soles, and as soon as he sat down, he said, "Sui Sui, it's time for breakfast! Did you chase out the thieves last night? Are you still not used to life in the village?"

The meaning of this layer is to say, it’s not that the thieves have gone, how can they eat breakfast now, it must be getting up late and staying in bed!

Another layer of meaning... even more profound!
This old lady is so interesting!It was hard to find Huatou to talk to her.

Being idle around is also idle, she didn't sit on a stool anymore, she simply sat on another stone pier at the door, and gnawed on her with a small cucumber, "The dog barked at night, and the cicada barked again early in the morning, There really is no stopping!"

"Living in the country, dogs bark, how big a deal is it to know how to bark? You have been away for two years, and you are not used to it?"

There is no habit or not!Seeing her repeatedly trying to talk to her, Li Qiusui just followed the old lady's lead.

But people don't think so, and the old lady Ma said to herself, this is because there is too much money to burn, and you don't have to do anything all day long, so don't you have time to think about it?The next two days, see if you still have the time to think about it?

Just as she was about to speak, her granddaughter called her, "Grandma, there's no more salt."

To buy salt, you have to go to the town, and it takes four or five miles to go back and forth. Mrs. Ma doesn't want to go, because it's hot today!She fumbled for a long time, took out a few copper coins, glanced at Hongying who was helping Li Qiusui with the fan, and discussed, "Sui Sui, ask the girl next to you to help grandma run errands."

After Li Qiusui gnawed the cucumber in his hand, he didn't say no, he looked at the big sun and said, "The sky is so hot... Hongying, since Grandma Ma has ordered, you can help me run... a country man , don't even think about getting a lot of rewards, just Grandma Ma can reward you with two copper coins..."

The sister-in-law next door, who was choosing vegetables at the door, listened to the gossip for a while, and when she heard that there was a reward for ordering a girl to run errands, she continued, "It's so early in the morning, why is it so hot? Isn't the maid just running errands? Why do you want to pay?" tips?"

Li Qiusui sat without moving. He took the handkerchief from Hongying and wiped his hands, "My maid, of course you don't get paid for running errands for me. You can't run errands for nothing. You will be charged for running errands."
