Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 78 His mood is even more complicated!
Are you here to eat for free again today! ?

If you can get a meal just by being a relative, you don't have to work in Qinjiatun.

We are all relatives, all we have to do is run around to get food!

Qin Huairu's face turned red, and she was even more afraid that he would not give her face and chase her away...

…………

His mood is even more complicated!
Seeing the hungry Qin Jingru staring at the candy, her mouth was watering...

Zhang Kaiwu put down his bow and arrow and said to the young lady:
"I remember there were some leftover noodles just now, go get some for her to eat."

Rubbing Qin Jingru's little head, he slowly said, "Jingru! Eat something to fill your stomach first, and then eat your sister's wedding candy later!"

Qin Jingru shouted in a clear voice: "Brother Kaiwu! Thank you!"

Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhang Kaiwu with gratitude.

…………

It's uncomfortable to stay here!

It ruined his morale...

Zhang Kaiwu made an excuse to go out to get firewood, walked out with a complicated expression, and wandered around the village.

The weather is very hot!

The wheat has begun to turn slightly yellow, and the double harvest is about to begin.

Harvest wheat and sow corn.

Under a big tree at the entrance of the village, Qin's father and his two brothers-in-law were watching there.

A group of farmers in the village were all saying auspicious words.

It is said that the weather is good this year and the wheat harvest will be good soon.

Although the weather is very hot, we all hope that it won’t rain.

The ripening and harvesting of wheat is different from other agricultural products.

When the wheat is about to mature, experienced farmers will look at their own wheat every day and carefully analyze how long it will take to mature.

Unripe wheat cannot be harvested, resulting in a serious reduction in yield.

The wheat is ripening very quickly!

Maybe it's just a two-hour difference in time for it to be ripe, but you didn't harvest it when you should have.

If the wheat is overripe, it will be scattered on the ground during harvest and some of it will be wasted.

Still reducing production!

If it rains now, the whole year will be ruined!
When the wheat is ripe and encounters rain, it will sprout on the ears!

There is no weather forecast now, but once you find that the weather is going to change, you have to take it back in advance at all costs.

The fertility and sunlight of each piece of land are different, so the harvest time is different.

All these things have to be done based on previous experience.

Farming is really difficult!

The only advantage now may be that everyone only has two acres of land.

The production is also very low.

It’s really quick to collect them all!

For example, Qin Huairu's family had two acres of land, and the whole family worked together and finished mowing it in an hour.

…………

Zhang Kaiwu walked over and handed a cigarette to his father-in-law and two brothers-in-law with a smile.

Snap them and set them on fire.

Father Qin smiled and whispered, "Kaiwu! Huairu didn't cause any trouble last night, did she?"

He said with a smile: "Dad! How is that possible! She is just embarrassed and just said it, it's fine!"

Father Qin smiled and said, "That's good. Having a baby sooner is the right thing to do."

"Say what needs to be said, hit what needs to be hit, don't spoil a woman!"

"Thinking back to when I had an argument with Huairu's mother, she didn't understand the situation, so I didn't indulge her..."

Zhang Kaiwu listened awkwardly and saw Qin's mother was about to come over.

Father Qin was talking excitedly, spitting all over the place...

The two brothers-in-law who were smoking nearby tried desperately to exchange glances with each other, but Qin's father didn't see anything!
Urgent situation.

Zhang Kaiwu stepped on his father-in-law without any expression, and his father-in-law was startled!
He said quickly: "Well done! The wheat pulp is well filled this year! This year will be a bumper year!"

…………

Hahahaha!

Zhang Kaiwu greeted with a smile: "Mom! Are you busy picking wild vegetables?"

Mother Qin put down the basket of wild vegetables and asked with a smile: "Kaiwu! Don't listen to Huairu's father's bragging. He always says that the wheat pulp is good, but he is hungry every year."

"There's no point in farming! Even if you plant two acres of land in a year, you can't even fill your stomach."

"How's Huairu? Didn't she get mad and not consummate the marriage?"

Hahahaha!

Zhang Kaiwu smiled awkwardly and said, "No, I'm fine! I just had lunch and am playing with the young lady now."

"She's so close, let her go back to see you later."

Mother Qin said quickly, "Don't do that! No matter how close you live, it won't work. You have to go back at least three days later. It's unlucky to go back earlier!"

…………

After chatting for a while, Zhang Kaiwu slowly touched back.

Under the big tree at the entrance of the village.

At the edge of the field, inside a two-foot-wide mud niche of the land temple.

Zhang Kaiwu's relative, the community god Zhang Fude, was grinning inside the land temple.

There were a lot of incense sticks and tree branches stuck in it.

Because they were so poor, many people in the village, like Zhang Kaiwu, used tree branches instead of incense to pray to the Buddha for a good harvest.

Next to the statue of Zhang Fude is a relative of the ex-husband of the young lady from the Zhou family.

He was from Qinjiatun. I don’t know which generation of ancestor he was, but everyone called him Qin Gong.

It is said that all the land in Qinjiatun was reclaimed by him and his men.

He is a rural wild god and is also worshipped by the Qinjiatun people in the land temple.

Maybe they don't work seriously, and the people in Qinjiatun don't have any wealthy sponsors.

Even God has to work hard!

They don't work hard, so no one decorates them, and the land temple is just made of mud.

Not a single tile was mixed.

There aren't many incense sticks...

Weathered by the wind and sun.

The characters have no clues...

Zhang Kaiwu also has a wealthy relative, Zhang Bairen.

It's a pity that Zhang Bairen didn't recognize him.

…………

Zhang Kaiwu slowly walked to his kitchen and threw some of the firewood sticks in the storage space into the kitchen.

When I have time next time, I’ll take it to my young lady’s place.

Nowadays, people burn firewood whether in cities or in rural areas.

Even though he got a lot of firewood from those two families last time, he couldn't take out a lot of firewood at once because there were too many people and too many mouths.

The young lady knew some of Zhang Kaiwu's little secrets and would not ask too many questions.

Where does something come from?
How much money does your family have?

But Qin Huairu is different. She likes to get to the bottom of everything.

It's so troublesome!

Among the necessities of life, firewood ranks first for a reason.

If you want to live a serious life, you can't do anything without firewood.

Not even a mouthful of water can be mixed.

Zhang Kaiwu discovered in Beiping that many poor families had to go out of the city to collect firewood.

It might be thirty miles to walk, and you could collect a load of firewood in a whole day.

Families like Chen Xueru's may have to rely on buying.

Tidy up the kitchen before going back to my wife's house.

Zhang Kaiwu also got a large bundle of firewood, tied it up, and dragged it to the young lady's house.

…………

As expected, I met the curious baby.

After knocking on the back door, Qin Huairu asked happily, "Brother Kaiwu! In just a short while, you went up the mountain and collected such a large bundle of firewood!?"

Her long braids were gone, and he pinched her face and kissed her, blocking her mouth.

The kiss made her dazed...

Only then let her go.

Zhang Kaiwu said unhappily, "Sister Huairu! No, I was just wandering around the village and saw that there was no one around, so I went to someone else's house and stole it back!"

Qin Huairu pushed him away with a blushing face and hid behind the young lady, rubbing her face.

He was shouting, "Sister! He pinched my face again, hit him!"

The young lady watched him and Huairu playing with each other with a smile. She was not as easy to fool as Qin Huairu.

Zhang Kaiwu's words were half true and half false. This was a bundle of firewood, and it might have been stolen from the former headman's house!
She pulled Qin Huairu to joke around and said, "Sister! Do it yourself tonight and let him know how powerful you are!"

Qin Huairu blushed and covered her mouth again.

The young lady and Zhang Kaiwu have a great understanding.

…………

Zhang Kaiwu pulled the firewood into the kitchen and piled it up along the corner.

Seeing that they did not follow into the kitchen, he took the opportunity to take out some more firewood from the storage space and put it on the fire.

Finally, Qin Huairu's curiosity was dealt with and the firewood was put away.

As the head of the family, he had to use his beauty to seduce Qin Huairu just for a few pieces of firewood!
Life is not easy!

…………

I looked at the sky and estimated that it was already past two o'clock.

He planned to make some dumplings in the evening, just to practice his cooking skills. Zhang Kaiwu got two pounds of flour, added two eggs and made the dumpling wrappers.

This kind of dumpling skin is smoother and tastes better.

A little more powerful.

The young lady and Qin Huairu also came into the kitchen to help organize the ginger, garlic and onions.

He asked the girl to go to the yard to cut some leeks, and then he beat seven or eight eggs.

Prepare to stir-fry it later and mix it with leeks to make dumpling filling.

The way Zhang Kaiwu beat the eggs made Qin Huairu feel so distressed.

He kept muttering, "Brother Kaiwu! You don't need so many eggs to make fried leeks and eggs. This is such a waste!"

"You can just cook noodles and add some chopped green onions or something and it will be delicious!"

Zhang Kaiwu explained with a smile: "I'm going to make dumpling fillings now, why waste it?"

Qin Huairu asked in confusion: "Isn't the dumpling filling made of meat? Can leeks and eggs be used as dumpling fillings? "

"Brother Kaiwu! Are you going to make dumplings? Are you really going to make dumplings? "

Looking at her hopeful eyes, Zhang Kaiwu smiled, rubbed her little face and nodded.

The young lady smiled and said, "If Kaiwu said it was, then it must be. Although I haven't eaten it, I have heard of vegetarian dumplings!"

"Ancient books say there is a dumpling filling made from cabbage..."

They have never eaten dumplings!
Zhang Kaiwu: “…”

The poverty in rural areas today has once again refreshed his impression!
Poor little lady!
He quickly gave the young lady a hug, patted her back and gave her a kiss.

After looking at Qin Huairu's eager eyes, he gave her a kiss even though she was shy.

Sister Huairu is always jealous but envious. If you don’t give her a kiss, she will have some bad thoughts.

...............

Don't count on them for dumplings either.

Zhang Kaiwu made the dumpling skins skillfully.

Qin Huairu started to light the fire, heated the pan with a lot of oil, and fried the eggs in a few strokes.

Only when the dumpling filling has more oil can it lock the moisture in the leeks and prevent them from breaking or becoming dry!

Let the water in her pot slowly boil.

Zhang Kaiwu mixed the chopped leeks and fried eggs evenly, and taught them how to make dumplings step by step.

Making dumplings is a very simple task and they learned it in no time.

With two pounds of flour and dumpling stuffing, three people can make more than 140 large dumplings in a short time.

He took a closer look at the finished product and it seemed to be a little too big.

These ten or so probably make up one bowl, so I might have to cook ten large bowls, which is a bit too much for three people.

It's almost three or four o'clock, so it's time for dinner.

The weather is too hot to serve it, so I'd like to invite my mother-in-law and others to try it.

My mother-in-law also put a lot of effort into taking Qin Huairu as a concubine.

Qin Huairu can't return home until three days have passed.

Zhang Kaiwu asked the young lady to call Qin's father and mother to eat dumplings, and asked Qin Huairu to start boiling water over a high fire.

After the water boils three times, the first pot of dumplings is cooked.

The chef's skill level has also improved by two points, now it's 60 points. It looks like he'll be a master chef soon.

The young lady also came back with Qin's father and mother who looked embarrassed.

...............

Looking at Qin's mother, they felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and pulled Qin's father and mother to sit down at the top.

Each person got a big bowl of dumplings and a little bit of dipping sauce.

Just as the whole pot was finished, everyone started eating.

The fresh, fragrant and delicious dumplings left several people speechless.

Concentrate on enjoying the food.

Zhang Kaiwu started cooking the second pot. As everyone finished their first bowl, they started to eat the second bowl of cooked dumplings.

Just right for two large bowls per person.

With a bowl of dumplings as a base, everyone started talking more during the second bowl.

Everyone is praising Zhang Kaiwu's craftsmanship. This skill is enough to open a restaurant, and it is definitely not worse than the ones in the Eighth Floor!
Only Qin Huairu asked with a smile: "Brother Kaiwu! The dumplings you make are so delicious! Where did you learn this skill?"

Several people looked at him with interest...

Zhang Kaiwu thought, it’s not that my cooking skills are good, it’s just that you haven’t eaten it!

It was my first time eating dumplings and I felt they were very delicious.

What’s more, even people who have barely eaten flour think dumpling skins are delicious!
But you can’t say this casually!

It's so hurtful.

…………

He explained with a smile, "I saw someone make it once in Peking and ate it once. It's actually very simple."

"Fry the eggs and mix with raw chives to make dumpling filling. Boil the water three times and it's ready to serve. It's not difficult at all!"

"For example, sister Huairu, you watched me do it once today, and you will be able to do it next time."

Qin Huairu said proudly: "Brother Kaiwu! Of course I can make it next time, but the way you eat it is too wasteful!"

"I used two pounds of flour and more than ten eggs. Don't bankrupt the family!"

Zhang Kaiwu: “…”

Hearing her unlucky words, Mother Qin glared at her and said:
"You stupid girl! What nonsense are you talking about! How do you talk to Kaiwu? He is the head of the family, you have to be polite, okay?"

"Your husband is the sky. Even if he does something wrong, you can only watch and you can't say anything. Do you understand?!"

"Besides, Kaiwu did nothing wrong. Do you need my advice?!"

Then he said to Zhang Kaiwu, "Kaiwu! Don't spoil her too much, or she won't know her place! Beat her when necessary!"

"Once she enters your house, you have to teach her a lesson and teach her to be tactful in what she says and does!"

I'm angry!

Qin Huairu stuck out her tongue!
I lowered my head and concentrated on making dumplings...

Zhang Kaiwu said awkwardly: "It's okay! It's okay! Sister Huairu is just being close to me and joking. I won't care about those little things!"

Seeing that her mother-in-law was still angry, she stared at her with a bad look.

He quickly persuaded her, "Sister Huairu is still very young. It's not a bad thing for her to be a little naive. She will be fine in a few years."

"Don't scold her. Let her have fun for a few more years."

...............

Seeing how loving he and Huairu were, Qin's mother was actually very happy.

Mother Qin smiled and said, "She is not young anymore. Many people her age have already had children. Let her have a child quickly so that she can be more stable in the future."

Father Qin may have been stepped on again, and he quickly agreed, "Yes! Kaiwu! It's better to have a baby soon!"

Zhang Kaiwu looked at his mother-in-law and the others with a helpless look, and began to induce labor again…

It’s only been two days since we got married!
Zhang Kaiwu's Su Nu Heart Sutra, which transforms essence into Qi, can control childbirth.

He didn't want them to have a baby right now. It would be dangerous if they were too young!

What’s more, there are no medical institutions now, and giving birth is like the gate of hell.

Let’s wait a few years until we have complete medical institutions and life insurance!

…………

After eating dumplings, how can you not drink soup!

Another person served a bowl of dumpling soup and everyone drank the soup slowly.

Original soup, original food...

After two big bowls of dumplings, Qin Huairu ate a little more.

She burped, stretched, and rubbed her belly.

Her actions were indecent, and she saw that Qin's mother was about to start swearing again.

He ran into the bedroom.

After they finished eating, Qin's parents said goodbye with a smile and went back.

…………

Zhang Kaiwu and the young lady stood at the backyard gate to see them off and watched them enter their home.

Zhang Kaiwu finally closed the back door.

He hugged the young lady and said, "Young lady! It's getting late. I'm going to the bedroom to get rid of the mosquitoes and get ready for bed."

"Take Huairu and wash up quickly. Aunts are right. It's better to have a baby as soon as possible! Even if you don't have a baby, you still have to study hard and make progress."

"Teach Huairu some more about how to behave, so she won't be silly and ignorant and shout until her voice is hoarse."

…………

Zhou Zhaodi looked at the sun. It was barely four o'clock! ?

The young lady pinched him shyly and went to call Qin Huairu to wash up...

She is different from Qin Huairu, even though the younger lady is smarter.

The more books you read, the more you will know!
But! In the young lady's heart, the truth is not important.

Zhang Kaiwu is the most important.

Whatever Zhang Kaiwu said was what it was, and she would never raise any objections, no matter how difficult the matter was.

Zhang Kaiwu was her heaven. She would eat anything he said was edible without hesitation.

Whatever he said to do, she did without hesitation.

If Zhang Kaiwu wanted to kill someone or set fire to something, she could provide a one-stop service, including watching out for the enemy, handing over the knife, and burying the person.

If Zhang Kaiwu wanted to go up the mountain to become a bandit, she would immediately pack her bags and prepare to run away with him.

If Zhang Kaiwu died, she would go down to be his ghost concubine.

This is the life and death companionship of the young lady.

…………

As for the family of the young lady from the Zhou family, it’s better not to talk about it.

The young lady of the Zhou family remarried and never saw the old scholar of the Zhou family come.

Maybe the old scholar of the Zhou family had already regarded his daughter as dead, and the young lady had not thought of going back to report the news.

It may also be that when she asked for help in the early years, the old scholar of the Zhou family ignored her, and the young lady did not inform him.
