Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 173 The Rising Rumors
"Xiaoyue still remembers me even when she travels far away. I'm so happy that I'm too late, so why would I hate it?" Li Hao frowned, and happily took the things over.

Several people sat down together, drank tea, ate snacks, and chatted with each other while talking and laughing.

Afterwards, Li Hao did not teach the two children any more lessons, and the group locked the door directly and went to Han's house.

When they arrived at the door of the house, Han Duyue saw Song Da and Song Er fighting fiercely at the gate of the yard, obviously fighting for the gift.

Han Duyue didn't care, but Xiaonian's eyes were shining brightly. Since Song Da and Song Er arrived at her home, sometimes she would teach Xiaonian some simple kung fu exercises.

Because Han Duyue came back from going out, Han Qingmei cooked several dishes at noon, which was a small celebration.

After finishing lunch and tidying up everything, Han Duyue sat down and told Han Qingmei what he had seen and heard in the county town: "Mother, don't you know that the county town is more beautiful than our town at night?" It’s lively during the day, there’s everything for sale there, and there’s also jugglers, they can really breathe fire, they look really powerful…”

"Sister, next time you go to the county seat, can you take me with you? I want to play too." Xiaonian looked longingly at Han Duyue.

Han Duyue smiled and rubbed Xiaonian's head: "When I am free, our family will go out to play together. This time I went to the county town mainly for shopping. I heard from a lady that there are still a few places in the county town that are beautiful Not bad, it’s very suitable for traveling, let’s go and play together then.”

"I knew my sister was the best, so you have to keep your word," Xiaonian cheered immediately, and went to look at Song Ning worriedly, "Brother Song, you heard what my sister said. If she doesn't count what she says, you have to teach her for me."

Song Ning smiled slightly, glanced at Han Duyue, and deliberately dragged her tone: "Well, if Xiaonian can promise me one thing, I will promise you this thing. And if your sister really regrets it then , I'll take you to the county town too, how about it?"

"What is Brother Song talking about?" Xiao Nian stared at Song Ning staringly.

Han Duyue also looked at Song Ning suspiciously, she always felt that there was a conspiracy in Song Ning's words.

"Come here." Song Ning beckoned to Xiaonian.

Xiaonian immediately leaned towards Song Ning, and Song Ning whispered something in his ear. After hearing this, Xiaonian subconsciously looked at Han Duyue, then nodded seriously: " This matter is simply too simple, I promise you Brother Song."

"Huh?" Song Ning snorted.

Xiaonian quickly scratched his head and smiled: "It's brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I promise you, I will call you that from now on."

Brother-in-law?Han Duyue instantly understood what Song Ning asked for, and couldn't help but blush for a while, Han Qingmei also reacted, and couldn't help shaking her head with a smile: "These two children."

Then we chatted and chatted, and we talked about the issue of Xiaonian's reading.

"Does Xiaonian like to read? How are you learning recently?" Han Duyue asked with concern. Although Xiaonian would definitely have to continue reading for a while whether Xiaonian likes to read or not, Han Duyue still wanted to know how Xiaonian read. What do you think.

Xiao Nian thought for a while, then nodded seriously: "I think reading is very interesting, and Uncle Li's explanations are also very interesting, Xiao Lin and I both like it."

"Then Xiaonian, are you willing to continue studying and take the road of imperial examination?" If Xiaonian likes to study, then he can be allowed to take the road of imperial examination. In this case, some adjustments should be made to Xiaonian's teaching, right?

Han Duyue felt that the road to the imperial examination in this era should be somewhat similar to the road to the college entrance examination in the previous life, and both required some systematic learning, or it could be called a "shortcut".

Xiaonian didn't know how to answer this question, because he didn't know the relationship between "reading" and "imperial examination" and what was the difference.

Song Ning also felt that Han Duyue's question was a bit urgent, and said with a smile: "It's just the beginning, why don't you wait, Xiaonian is still young now."

"That's right, I'm too impatient. Xiaonian just needs to keep his interest and study hard with Uncle Li." Han Duyue sighed and rubbed Xiaonian's head. I have experienced it, so it is too easy to get impatient.

Xiaonian nodded with a vague understanding: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely study hard."

The ordinary days passed by in a flash, and more than a month passed in the blink of an eye. In November, the temperature dropped completely. Han Qingmei had just finished making some autumn shirts for the children, and she was about to start making winter jackets again. up.

Also, the bedding on the bed needs to be replaced with thicker ones, otherwise it will feel cold when sleeping at night, and it is not time to burn the ground dragon, so the two children cannot be frozen.

This day Han Qingmei was chatting with Xiao Linniang while wearing a thick quilt, while Liu Fangshi came to visit.

"Sister-in-law Liu, sit down quickly. There are candied fruit bought by Xiaoyue on the table over there. Try it first. I won't have any spare time." I have to say that Han Qingmei is a typical good wife and mother. I don't think there is anything wrong with being busy with my family on weekdays, and I even feel quite proud and satisfied about it.

Liu Fangshi responded, and sat there, but his face looked a little weird.

"Didn't I hear from you last time that Da Zhuang wanted to go to the town to find a job? Do you have a clue now?" Most of Han Qingmei's attention was on the quilt spread in front of her, so she didn't notice Liu Fang's look.

The last time Liu Fang mentioned about Da Zhuang in front of Han Qingmei, he said that now that the family is free, he wanted to see if he could find a job in the town.

Later, Han Qingmei brought this matter up in front of Han Duyue, and Han Duyue also said that if it is difficult to find, she can ask Da Zhuang to go to the shopkeeper Li's restaurant to help, so Han Qingmei just asked. .

Liu Fang rubbed her hands: "I've already found a job, and I can give you one or two taels of silver a month. It's easy to do odd jobs, but I can't come back on weekdays."

"That's really good, but I have to let Da Zhuang do a good job. Anyway, my home is not too far from the town, so it's easy to come back and have a look." Although Han Qingmei is not like before, her hands will tremble when she gets a tael of silver. , but listening to Liu Fang's saying that Da Zhuang found such a job, I was very happy for him.

Liu Fang chatted with Han Qingmei for a few more words, and finally couldn't help but said, "Well... Sister Han, have you heard the gossip in the village recently?"

Since leaving Jiang's house, Han Qingmei has taken a negative look at many things. Now she generally doesn't associate too much with women in the village who like to gossip, so naturally she doesn't know much about the wind vane of gossip in the village.

Although Liu Fangshi knew a lot of things, she also knew that Han Qingmei had nothing to do with them, so she seldom said these things in front of Han Qingmei.

At this moment, when she heard Liu Fangshi's words, Han Qingmei immediately felt that something was wrong, and she even stopped putting on the quilt: "What gossip is going on outside?"

"It's just..." Liu Fang thought for a while, and then said tactfully, "Didn't they come to your house often for dinner recently, so they said... Hey, anyway, it's not very pleasant to talk about it chant."

I don't know how many layers of beautification Liu Fang's words have been. It is estimated that the rumors coming out of those people's mouths must be very unsavory.

Although the words were tactful, Han Qingmei understood right away: "Are they telling me about my relationship with Li Zheng?"

"Also, didn't your family hire two nursing homes? Some people said that it would be unattractive for a woman in this family to live with two big men, so..." Liu Fang didn't go on talking. Although she came here with good intentions to tell Han Qingmei these things, she was also afraid that her words would cause the other party's displeasure.

You must know that since the two families became neighbors, Han Qingmei's family has taken good care of the Liu family, and they will never forget the Liu family when they have any good things on weekdays, so the relationship between the two families has always been good, otherwise Liu Fang's family would not come Don't worry about this business.

Han Qingmei's face became a little ugly. She didn't think about this before, and she also knew that the people in this village are usually fine, and they like to make up these things, but after hearing these words, Han Qingmei still felt Very uncomfortable.Their family didn't do anything shameful, so why did the big guy want to spread gossip about his family?
In fact, Han Qingmei also understood the real reason. Who made his family's life easier now?

It's because everyone has jealousy. When they see a better life than themselves, they will feel envious and jealous. It's a very normal thing, and they can't really make life difficult for the Han family, so they can only Use these innocuous words to make the Han family feel uncomfortable.

But even if she could figure it out, Han Qingmei still felt uncomfortable, and there was nothing she could do about it.

"When did these words start to spread? Sister-in-law Liu, do you know who said them?" Han Qingmei asked coldly.

Liu Fang didn't hide anything from Han Qingmei, and directly told all the things she knew: "It should have been reported two days ago. I went to visit yesterday and heard someone tell me about it. I was very angry when I heard it. As for who spread the word, although that person didn’t make it very clear, I think that only that family would care about your family’s affairs so much. Bar?"

Han Qingmei also knew that the "that family" that Liu Fangshi was referring to was the Jiang family.

That's right, besides the Jiang family, who else would care so much about their own affairs?I just don't know what the Jiang family's purpose is this time.

"Thank you sister-in-law Liu for telling me these words, I understand." Han Qingmei took a few deep breaths to calm down her emotions.

Liu Fangshi saw that although Han Qingmei's face was not very good-looking, but her mood seemed to be stable, and she didn't seem too angry, so she secretly relieved: "Look at what you said, I'm afraid that I will say this in front of you." You will annoy me because of this, and now I am relieved."

Liu Fangshi came here for this matter, and now that she had finished speaking, she went home without staying too long.
