After the separation, the little widow Xianggong returned from the capital

Chapter 12 12 New Homes
The trip to the village head's family went smoothly, and the village head was also very helpful in handling affairs. On the same day, he brought back the Gu family's family separation document stamped with the official seal, Qi Qi's new household registration, and a house title deed.

The location of the title deed is exactly half an acre of open space at the foot of Stone Mountain.

After Qi Qi got these, his heart was completely settled down, and he will live a good life in this place from now on.

Now it's the slack time for farming, as Uncle Gu said, if you find more people, the house will be built quickly.

Qi Qi is also willing to spend money, she has a big belly, so she can't give birth to a baby in someone else's house.

Therefore, she paid thirty yuan a day's wages per person to hire someone to build a house.

Once the money is in place, people in the village are fools if they don't come, and no one will be against the money. Even if Qi Qi's life is too hard, and Kefu's reputation is already well-known, they are only here to work, so there is nothing in the way.

But because of Qi Qi's generosity this time, many bad-mouthed villains in the village started to speak sour words again...

"I thought she was kicked out at first, and felt that she was very pitiful. Now I see that she is rich, so she can live separately, so she doesn't have to be angry with her mother-in-law, but she has a good plan."

"I don't know how much the Gu family gave her. I heard that a new house will be built on half an acre of land."

"I'm envious, I envy your family for marrying her back. It just so happens that Sanzhu still lacks a wife. If you marry her, you will get a new house and become a ready-made father. You will also become a cheap grandmother..."

"Go away, what are you talking about, there is no one to tell the truth. My mother only has a son in Sanzhu, why should I marry him a big girl with yellow flowers. But you, your eldest son has been a widower for a year, right? Okay, You want to be a ready-made grandma yourself, and you still use me as a pawn..."

"No, no, her life is so hard, my family dare not touch it, don't die..."

"You also know bad luck, and dare to talk about my son..."

Some people were joking about some words, but some people really listened to them. As the words spread, the rumors began to ferment again.

There is a lot of right and wrong at the widow's door.

Mrs. Gu dropped two sets of tea sets at home and cursed no less than a hundred times, "Shameless little bastard, I can't spare her with my son's money."

Gu Xiaoci on the side kept a gloomy face and said nothing, while Lu Liu was also filled with righteous indignation, emphasizing the rumors outside in old lady Gu's ear.

Qi Qi didn't even know about this, she was busy with the planning of her new home.

Located on half an acre of land, there are three main rooms, which are bright and spacious. The left and right side rooms are used as bathrooms, and an inner door is set to communicate with the adjacent main room, which is convenient for getting up at night.There are two rooms in the east and west rooms, which are connected by a one-meter-wide eaves corridor. They are not afraid of wind and rain. They are surrounded by a high courtyard wall. Two plots of land are planned in the middle courtyard. She plans to grow some rare medicinal materials in the future. Or fruits and vegetables.

At the foot of the stone mountain, daily work is in full swing. Qi Qi hired his cousin Gu Xiaoming, who helped move the house, to be the supervisor, and Yang Daqing to do the shopping. Both of them were very responsible and cooperated tacitly. In seventeen days, in addition to labor and land costs, plus the purchase of blue bricks, tiles, doors, windows, beams and columns, a total of 58 taels was spent.

Half of the purse was gone, but she was very satisfied with what she got in return.

This small courtyard belongs to Qi Qi completely, and it is her foothold and shelter in this strange world.

No. 20 days after coming to this world, Qi Qi moved again and finally moved into his new home.

At this time, it has entered March, and everything is recovering, and it is thriving.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I'm here." Xiao Hua's voice sounded outside the courtyard.

"Here we come." Qi Qi propped up his back with one hand and walked slowly towards the gate of the courtyard with his big belly sticking out.

Opening the courtyard door, Xiao Hua came in with a basket of wild vegetables, and said excitedly, "Sister-in-law, I picked a lot of herbs today, take a look, I picked them right."

Xiaohua poured out the wild vegetables in the basket one by one, and sure enough, Qi Qi saw a lot of dandelions and atractylodes in a pile of Malan.

"Well, it's pretty good."

Ever since the sixth lady took Qi Qi's medicine and her cough gradually improved, Xiao Hua admired Qi Qi even more.

She has already learned several kinds of medicinal herbs with Qi Qi, and now she can't wait to search for them all day long.

"Go and wash the Malan first, and I'll mix Malan for you to eat. Wash the rest and let them dry." Qi Qi ordered as a matter of course.

"Hey." Xiao Hua immediately complied, full of interest.

There is no well at home, and the water for drinking needs to be picked from the village. Now, Yang Daqing's eldest son Dashan helps pick it every day, filling two tanks.

There is no need to worry about the water used. This place is rich in water resources.There is a small pond not far from the sixth wife's house, the water quality is not bad, and they usually wash and wash vegetables there.

Qi Qi's new yard is not far from there, and Xiao Hua bounced away with a basket in her hand.

Malan in early spring is tender and delicious. After blanching, add seasoning and mix well, it is a delicacy.

This is the first time for Xiaohua to eat Malan like this. The wild vegetables picked at home are always put in a pot and cooked together with rice noodles to make a vegetable paste.

"Sister-in-law, it's really delicious, sister-in-law, why are you so good at cooking?" Xiaohua almost swallowed her tongue, looking at Qi Qi with admiration...

"Silly girl, as long as you are willing to put in seasonings, there is no bad dish." Qi Qi said with a smile, "How to make this dish, you saw it just now, go back and make it for your own milk."

Xiaohua laughed when she heard this, and stopped talking.

She knew the truth, but if she really dared to do what her sister-in-law did, grandma would have to screw her ears off.

In many cases, the poor are really helpless.

"Sister-in-law, are you still going out for a walk today?" Qi Qi would go out for a walk every morning and evening, and had already touched the terrain of the entire east end of the village.

She rubbed her stomach, shook her head slightly and said, "I won't go far, let's go around the yard a few times."

She ate well this month, and felt that her stomach has grown a lot, and she herself began to suspect that her eight-month-old stomach is indeed getting bigger, it can't be true...

Oops, I can't think too much about it.

"Well, that's fine." Xiao Hua looked at Qi Qi and hesitated to speak.

Qi Qi raised her eyebrows, "Speak up if you have something to say."

"After going back yesterday, my grandma asked me to ask you if you want me to come and stay for a few days and take care of you." The sixth lady also saw that her belly was too big, and she was afraid that if she had something, even someone would call her less than.

Qi Qi said happily when he heard that, "That's great, Xiao Hua, thank you."

Qi Qi was also worried about this, her belly was getting bigger and bigger, which made her feel uneasy, she was the only one in the house, if something happened to her, it would be too much to deal with every day, and the earth would not work.

I also thought about asking Xiaohua to come over, but I never had the nerve to speak up, thinking about waiting.
