after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 990

Chapter 990

The days at the beach were busy and fulfilling. By the time Lin Yuesha's workshops were first completed, it was already May in the lunar calendar.

As the weather warms up, there are more mosquitoes on the beach.

Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May. It is customary in Yingcheng to race dragon boats, eat rice dumplings, and hang wormwood, because this is the first festival to catch up with since the establishment of the dock and workshop. In order to reward the craftsmen, Lin Yuesha discussed with King Luo Decided to make a big one.

Two days in advance, the big girl and the young daughter-in-law of the small workshop had time to weave colored ropes, tie nets, and make wormwood sachets to prevent mosquitoes. Everyone chatted and laughed together, and the atmosphere was particularly relaxed.

Most of these women came from the surrounding areas of Yingcheng. Lin Yuesha went to the surrounding villages to recruit workers, and some of them immediately volunteered to sign up.

Staying at home, doing a lot of work, and not being respected, it is better to come to the workshop, eat well, live well, have sisters of the same age, and have a female teacher to teach reading and calligraphy in free time.

Needless to say, after literacy, they became more sensible, and their mood changed. They used to complain about themselves, and they also thought about many things they couldn't figure out.

Among these female workers, there are several widows who can't live in the village. Because of the dead man, they are troubled by the stigma of Kefu and the broom star. Can't hold my head up.

They are already suffering after a dead man, why should they be treated like this?
After coming to the workshop, the widows can think about it, if they meet a lover, they can remarry, if they never marry again, they will unite and live in a group, not afraid of being harassed by wild men.

There is food and drink, and as long as you work hard, you will get paid. It is not much more comfortable than doing coolies for free at your in-law's house and being rejected.

"I just came back from delivering things at the dock, and saw the bullock cart pulling water."

On the Dragon Boat Festival, there is a custom in Yingcheng to bathe with decoction of wormwood to drive away the cold and detoxify.

There is not much rain in Yingcheng recently, and the water in the storage tank is limited. Lin Yuesha worried that the female workers would not want to use it, so she specially hired someone to transport it in the city.

Unexpectedly, no one responded loudly. There was silence in the crowd for a while, and then someone whispered: "Mrs. Qi is kind-hearted, and we can only repay it by working hard."

The real touch is in the heart, not in the mouth, and everyone worked hard after settling their minds.

They were chosen to work in the workshop. They were very lucky. Everyone cherished this opportunity. No one would steal or play tricks, otherwise they would not be able to blend in at all.

At noon every day, the cafeteria serves a meal, which is treated the same as the craftsmen in the dock. After the meal, there is an hour or so to rest, which has never been done at home.

Three meals a day, every meal is good, the key is that the Zhao family who is in charge of the spoon is good at cooking.

Tomorrow will catch up with the Duanyang Festival, and they will have half a day off to make zongzi and make Wudu cakes together.

In order to let everyone participate and have fun together, Lin Yuesha specially organized a sea fishing activity.

Those who participated went fishing by boat, and finally competed for the harvest, and set a lottery.

"Lin girl, I heard that Duanyang has salty zongzi to eat."

Luo Wang entered the door with the curtain closed, and saw Lin Yuesha drinking tea and reading the account books.

Daqi has a vast area, and the fillings of rice dumplings in the north and south are different. In the capital city, there are mostly white rice dumplings with rice, occasionally put a few red dates, dipped in icing sugar or honey, and taste good.

Luo Wang heard the gossip that the rice dumplings prepared by Lin Yuesha were different, including chestnut meat, salted egg yolk meat, and dried plum vegetable meat.

King Luo didn't have much interest in eating zongzi. This time it was different. The meat in the zongzi was altar meat that had been soaked in brine for several days.

Mrs. Zhao heated it up every day, and the smell made King Luo greedy. Given his status, he was too embarrassed to ask Mrs. Zhao for it, so it was very hard to endure it all the time.

"Yes, I have prepared a lot of salted egg yolks to make Dragon Ball rice dumplings."

Lin Yuesha got a lot of big zongzi leaves, put seven pieces of altar meat in them, and seven salted egg yolks to wrap them.

Fortunately, with the help of Zhao Jingya, many rich and noble families followed suit and bought sea cucumbers for nourishment. Lin Yuesha's small workshop has just opened for a month, and she has already paid back her investment.

From this, let Lin Yuesha see hope, sea cucumber is a profitable business.

Lin Yuesha was very generous, so she ordered directly from the big pig farmers in the surrounding villages, and selected good breast meat to make.

In addition, for those who are not used to eating rice dumplings filled with meat, there are also sweet rice dumplings such as candied dates and bean paste, so as to meet the needs of people with different tastes.

"Dragon Ball, the name sounds really nice."

King Luo swallowed uncomfortably, and forced himself to calm down, "It's a pity that Kid Qi has no luck."

Lin Yuesha pretended not to care, and continued to stare at the ledger in her hand, but her mind had already drifted away.

Recently, the situation in Yingcheng has become more and more tense, and the conflicts between the two sides have continued. The Wei family even publicly recruited troops in the area under their jurisdiction to expand their manpower.

The situation in Fucheng was even more tense. Yu Wenkun was so desperate that he fled back to Sishui City, and began to eye the northern border again.

Every time Qi Heng communicated with her, he reported good news but not bad news, and simply reported that he was safe.

It is estimated that there are no couples in the world who get along like this.

Let's talk about intimacy. She and Qi Heng haven't consummated their marriage yet, so they always feel that they are one level behind. Lin Yuesha can't tell exactly what the difference is.

If it is said to be indifferent, it is not enough, they have experienced too much together, and their love is deep and righteous.

In Lin Yuesha's heart, Qi Heng is like an older brother who can guide her and be her backing.

It's just that Qi Heng worries Lin Yuesha more than her stepbrother.

Luo Wang stayed where he was, and said euphemistically that if Lin Yuesha made Dragon Ball meat dumplings, he must honor his uncle.

Talking to himself for a while, Luo Wang saw that Lin Yuesha was still distracted, touched his nose, and went out wisely.

As soon as he went out, he saw Qi Heng standing in the courtyard.

Why is this kid back?
King Luo was shocked, and was about to ask questions, but was stopped by Qi Heng's gesture of silence, and he wanted to surprise his wife.

King Luo opened his mouth and said, "Are you sure it's a surprise and not a shock?"

Qi Heng strode into the door, Lin Yuesha heard the noise, came back to her senses, and said weakly: "Uncle, I understand, I will definitely respect my elders."

For a long time, the visitor did not make a sound.

Lin Yuesha sniffed, there was a mint smell, which was light and pleasant, she was stunned, and raised her head in disbelief, and saw Qi Heng standing opposite her, looking at her with a smile on her face.

"Why did you come back?"

Reunited after a farewell, Lin Yuesha was overjoyed and was busy serving tea for Qi Heng.

"You haven't been away for a long time, and you don't even want to call your husband?"

Qi Heng took Lin Yuesha's teacup and drank the tea in it.

"Husband, why are you back?"

Fucheng is still tense, Lin Yuesha received a letter from Qi Heng reporting his safety yesterday, presumably he had already set off for Yingcheng before then.
