Chapter 371 I Picked Up a Treasure
Gu Qingya laughed haha: "No, I baked a few yams in the morning and didn't eat lunch. Mother, let's sit in the room, it's warm here, I'll bring you some baked ones Try it."

Every family grows taro, which is not an ordinary thing, and Chen Maopi happened to be a little hungry, so he entered the house with a smile.

Mrs. Chen Mao came in and sat down, ate three yams, drank a cup of chrysanthemum honey tea, stroked her stomach and said, "Ling'er, don't tell me, these yams are really delicious when roasted like this. My family grows them very well." But there are quite a few, and there are also a lot of dried taro and lotus, I will ask your brother Shi Zhu to bring you a basket."

Gu Qingya knew that Chen Maoshi was also a real person, so she said bluntly: "That's fine, I'll let my brother carry it tomorrow."

After eating and drinking, Mrs. Chen Mao explained his intentions: "Ling'er, what you entrusted to me has some clues. The girl is from Xiaowangtun. There are three siblings. Both parents died and she grew up with her grandparents. Because grandma has always been in poor health. Not too good, my younger brother is young, so I dragged it until I haven't found someone."

The dowry gift of 30 taels of silver is really attractive. Yesterday, someone quietly pointed out two girls to Zheng Baoshan. In fact, they are both passable-looking. They can't be called great beauties, but they are not ugly, but they just don't like it.

Gu Qingya can't do anything about this kind of male animal that only loves beauties.

Thinking that there are more than a dozen small mountain villages in Chiqing Mountain, as long as she looks slowly, she does not believe that she will not be able to find a woman that Zheng Baoshan is satisfied with, so she is not in a hurry at all.

But since he agreed to help, he must be loyal when helping others, this is Gu Qingya's principle of doing things.

"I don't think it's a problem. Then Zheng Baoshan is in his twenties, and the little girl is still a flower, which is not too old. I think this age is still suitable, but I don't know her appearance and temperament?"

As long as he doesn't think the woman is too old, Chen Mao can rest assured.

"The girl looks better than Juqin, maybe she is the eldest sister. She is very gentle, hard-working, and has a good reputation in the village. It's just because the family's conditions are not good. It's hard to find a good family, but the family is too bad. She was afraid that she would not be able to help the family, so she never found a suitable one."

Gu Qingya is not an only child, so she knows that children from families with more brothers and sisters are more tolerant.

Moreover, there is a saying that the children of the poor are the first to be in charge of the family, and to match this Zheng Lengzi's woman, Gu Qingya thinks that she must be sensible, tolerant, and good-natured.

Gu Qingya knew that Chen Maoshi was a more honest person, and she would not lie to her, so she suggested: "Then why don't you bring her to my house one day?"

Chen Mao nodded: "Okay, this girl is the child of a relative of my sister-in-law's family. She has a really good temper. My sister-in-law didn't think of her two days ago, but she has been looking for someone in our village. How about it, I will send a letter Give it to my sister-in-law, I will tell you when the day is fixed."

"Life is fine, isn't it going to the market in two days, let my concubine bring her to my house?"

Chen Mao clapped his legs: "That's good. Anyway, if they get along well, it's up to them, and we're just pulling strings. Okay, that's it. I'll go to my second brother's house tonight." trip."

After the two made an agreement, Gu Qingya sent Chen Maoshi out of the door, and the two talked about Chen Juqin for a while at the door.

After entering the door, they found Xiaocao playing on the hanging basket, but Qiu Mingyuan saw no one: "Xiaocao, where is your father?"

Xiaocao pointed to the kitchen: "Daddy is there."

It was getting late, and it was too cold outside, even if there was a quilt on the hanging basket, Xiaocao's little hands were still a little cold.

Gu Qingya carried Xiaocao out into the kitchen, only to see Qiu Mingyuan was burning the kang, the pot was already steaming, the steamer was on the board and in the wooden basin, the dishes had been washed and placed there.

"Xiaocao, you go to Daddy's to warm up the fire, and I'll chop the vegetables."

Before Gu Qingya put down the grass, Qiu Mingyuan came over: "Go and light the fire, and I'll chop the vegetables. It's going to be colder now."

These days, either Chen Shiquan washes the vegetables or Qiu Mingyuan washes the vegetables, but she always cuts and stir-fries the vegetables.

"Can you chop vegetables?"

In Gu Qingya's impression, if the family hadn't been separated, Chen Shiquan probably wouldn't have been in the kitchen, let alone a big man like Qiu Mingyuan who has been working outside.

Qiu Mingyuan glanced at her, and pushed her directly to the stove: "Look, your hands are turning red from the cold, warm yourself up, don't freeze."

Gu Qingya rolled her eyes: "I just came out of the house, why is it cold? Okay, you can cut it, but don't cut the vegetables on the ground."

The woman in front of her was worried like a little old woman, Qiu Mingyuan felt very at home.

For many years, these brothers have been looking forward to the life of their daughter-in-law and children on the kang. Now even if there is no hot kang, he finally has all the daughter-in-law and children on the surface.

Seeing Gu Qingya sitting down with the child in her arms, Qiu Mingyuan didn't say much, just washed his hands and cut vegetables.

When Qiu Mingyuan started chopping vegetables, Gu Qingya was always worried that he didn't know what kind of vegetables to cut.

It's just that when she saw the cut winter melon and cabbage, she felt that she had picked up a treasure—it's a pity that this treasure will be snatched away by others one day.

Thinking of the possibility of Qiu Mingyuan leaving, Gu Qingya suddenly felt very reluctant.

But she knew that she couldn't bear it.

It's better to create some good memories for the two of them while he is still around.

Even if you will be sad and heartbroken in the future, it is better than leaving nothing between the two of you.

I didn't eat lunch, so I cooked four dishes for dinner: braised winter melon cubes, boiled Chinese cabbage in pheasant soup (left over from yesterday), fried pork slices with garlic moss and spicy peppers, shredded pork and bean sprouts.

When Chen Shiquan came back from the outside happily in the air-conditioning, the dishes were already on the table.

"Sister, today's meal is so early?"

At this time, it is around 04:30 to [-] o'clock in the afternoon. If it is summer, it is naturally early.

It's just that it's winter now, and it's getting dark.

Seeing Chen Shiquan's happy face: "Brother, where did you go today?"

Chen Shiquan laughed happily while washing his hands: "I went to a few tofu shops and restaurants first, showed them the bean sprouts, and agreed to sell them on behalf of them. Then I pushed with Qiu Qingguang, Shi Qiang and Shi Mingge It's been a long time since I played cards for a long time, and I haven't played this game for a long time, and my hands are rusty."

Paijiu is a kind of plaything made of bamboo used for entertainment in this era. In the countryside, people are busy in winter, and everyone uses it for fun to pass the time, and sometimes for a small amount of money.

"Have you made any money?"

Chen Shiquan said as he walked, "I've made money. Everyone says I'm a novice card maker. I'm one of the rare poker players. Today, I'm one of the three. Guess how much I've earned?"

Gu Qingya knew that this brother was not a gambler, but even if he played with some copper coins, it was a very small game.

However, in order to cooperate with her, Gu Qingya deliberately provoked Xiaocao: "Xiaocao, quickly ask uncle for red money!"

As expected, Xiaocao was very cooperative, stretched out her little hand and said in a childish voice, "Uncle, give me the red money."

Sure enough, Chen Shiquan was in a very good mood, he laughed loudly: "All right, uncle won 28 copper coins today, half of which will be given to you later!"

Three to one actually only earned 28 copper coins, how big is this?Fortunately, he was so happy that he picked up a gold ingot, Gu Qingya immediately had a black line.
