after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 26

Chapter 26

"I wanted to go home this time and bring you to the town to celebrate the New Year."

The fire light illuminated Xiao Qi's face, making his outline half-bright and half-dark. He said faintly, "Now that something happened to my uncle's house, we can't just sit idly by."

Xiao Chenggui was ill in bed, most afraid of cold wind.The house at home is made of mud tiles, and the cold wind blows through in winter, and it is not convenient to go out when the mountains are closed due to heavy snow.

Based on these considerations, Xiao Qi came up with some ideas.

Who knew that there would be heavy snowfall when returning to the village, and it would be difficult to take people out immediately for recuperation.

"So this is ah!"

Lin Yuesha nodded. The conditions in the town are much better than those in the village, and the small courtyard is still a single family with a high wall, so it is not afraid of neighbors prying.

This is much better than that in the village. If anyone in the village ate meat for dinner, they can't hide it from their neighbors.The aunts huddled together when they had nothing to do, and the head of the house, the Li family, chatted their teeth idlely.

As soon as Xiao Qi returned to the village, he was followed by the old woman.

"Brother, your husband is very kind to you. I heard from my mother that renting a house in the town costs [-] Wen a month, let alone such a big yard."

Despite the bitter cold in their small place, renting a house is not cheap at all. The main reason is that there are too many people selling goods, and the house is never afraid of being empty.

For those who know how to do business, they set aside one or two rooms for the peddlers to live in and help prepare meals, which is a considerable income every month.

"I help my husband copy books every month, and the yard is not in vain."

Xiao Qi gave an unprecedented explanation.

There was no fire at home, and the water in the water tank had already been frozen, so he had to get some stored snow and put it in a large pot as water for washing.

Too many things happened that day, Lin Yue washed the gauze hastily, her upper and lower eyelids fought, and fell asleep on the kang after a while.

In the darkness, Xiao Qi raised the corners of his mouth, the little girl's troubles came and went faster, he pursed his lips, sighed, and then, the room was silent.

Xu Shi was exhausted and had no dreams all night. When Lin Yuesha opened her eyes, the sun had already penetrated through the Korean paper.

She sat up abruptly, patted her head, and found herself annoyed that she got up late.

"Big brother, big brother!"

Lin Yuesha put on her coat, came out of the house, searched around the study and the kitchen, but didn't see any sign of her stepbrother.

"Could it be that he went to report to the official by himself, then returned to the village, and left me behind?"

Thinking of this, Lin Yuesha was extremely depressed. Her elder brother is an honest man, so he couldn't do such a crazy thing, right?

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, there was still no one in the yard.

Lin Yuesha endured hunger and came to the stove, and found a large iron pot with a cover on it. She opened it and saw a white-faced steamed bun on the curtain, and half a steamed bun with oil on the stove. Duck eggs, a pile of hot and sour cucumbers.

There are no green vegetables in winter, and it is quite good to eat some appetizing pickles, especially the pickled cucumbers are still very green and have not turned black, which is appetizing just looking at them.

Lin Yuesha poured herself a glass of water and ate breakfast while it was hot.

After she had eaten and drank enough to take a walk in the yard, there was finally movement at the door.

Xiao Qi entered the door carrying a package, and met Lin Yuesha's eyes, he paused for a moment, and said, "Little sister is awake?"

"Brother, what did you do?"

Lin Yuesha originally planned to accuse angrily, but thinking that this guy still had a conscience to leave breakfast, the accusation turned into doubt.

"I have already reported to the official, and the official sent a horse to ride, so I definitely can't take us with me, so I went to the market."

Xiao Qi went to the kitchen to wash his hands with hot water, and nodded in satisfaction when he saw that the dishes and chopsticks had been cleaned.
