reborn widow

Chapter 33

Seeing Li Song also standing in the yard, Gui Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, "Da Lang, what's going on?"

As soon as Li Song saw that Gui Qingqing was back, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, he came to Gui Qingqing in a few steps and said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, I originally sent a message to the tooth shop to bring someone here tomorrow. I brought people here in the afternoon, let me choose, how can I choose people, I am worrying."

Gui Qingqing looked at these women in the yard. There were more than 20 of them ranging in age from twelve to sixteen. The girl said: "Grandma, this grass girl, her cakes are very good."

Gui Qingqing was taken aback when she saw her, didn't this girl serve Song Zihe?It's true that she can cook, but she can also seduce men, which is not what she wants.

Gui Qingqing asked the women in front of her again: "Who else knows how to make pastries?"

The prostitute hurriedly replied: "There are two more who can do it, but they are not as good as Qingcao's craft." She said, pointing to two of the two ordinary-looking girls who were twelve or thirteen years old, Gui Qingqing looked at them. Seeing the two of them, they were of average appearance, but they seemed to be honest and agile, so she nodded, she wanted these two, and if they are not good at craftsmanship, they can learn from them. Gui Qingqing named them Chaxiang and Maixiang respectively. In the future, she and her sister don't need to do everything by themselves when the pastry shop is employed.

There should be two more people in the family. Gui Qingqing asked the matchmaker to recommend someone who can cook. The matchmaker pointed to a woman in her 30s. This woman was named Zeng Xiu, but she was only willing to sign a five-year contract. Gui Qingqing saw her The whole body was clean and tidy, so she said that she would try her dishes before ordering. She chose another maid named Juxiu, who was only 14 years old this year. , or a maid who is good at female red, there is nothing outstanding, but there is one advantage that others do not have, that is, she can read.

Gui Qingqing asked the matchmaker carefully, and found out that her old owner was resold because she was implicated by her relatives, lost her official position and ransacked her house. She was very upset, in terms of appearance, she was the most outstanding among the [-] or so people, and in terms of craftsmanship, she made the best cakes, she just felt that Gui Qingqing had no eyesight, and besides, the hostess of the house was too ugly...

After Gui Qingqing finished picking people, the matchmaker took the rest of the girls away.Li Song hurried to the Yamen and left too.

Gui Qingqing looked at the few people she selected. Juxiu used to be a maid in other people's house, so she should know all the rules. She was going to work in the shop, so Gui Qingqing briefly explained the family rules to a few people, and then took out a dime and handed it to Zeng Xiu, "Mrs. craftsmanship."

Mrs. Zeng prepared four dishes for dinner, a flower crab tofu, a braised meatball, a steamed carp, and a lotus root pork rib soup.

These dishes should be Mrs. Zeng's specialty. Gui Qingqing can smell the aroma from a distance. Li Song and his son are not particular about the food, as long as there is meat in the food, Gui Qingqing has tasted delicious food Yes, this time I went to Qin's house, and gained a lot of knowledge. She thinks that the flower crab tofu is the best. This color, white and red, plus the yellow soup made from crab roe, looks quite attractive.The braised meatballs are also fat but not greasy, delicious and delicious, and the steamed carp is even more delicious.

After dinner, Li Song said with a smile: "Qingqing, your craftsmanship can be compared to others."

Gui Qingqing didn't take it seriously: "That's his specialty. I can't always compare my shortcomings with others' strengths. Isn't that just asking for trouble?"

Li Song gave her a playful look, "Daughter-in-law, what is your specialty?"

Gui Qingqing thought for a while, and smiled meaningfully: "My specialty is dreaming." This specialty is really unmatched by anyone.When this topic was mentioned, Li Song asked, "Then what dreams have you had recently?"

Gui Qingqing has always wanted to tell Li Song about this matter, now that Li Song really asked, it is a good time, Gui Qingqing hurriedly said: "I dreamed that we will have a severe drought next year..."

"Ah? Really or not?" Li Song was taken aback.

"How could I lie about this kind of thing?" Gui Qingqing still remembers that in her last life, she had just entered the Song family for more than a year and was pregnant with a child. Stomach felt extraordinarily hard. Even so, she still had to greet Shangshi every day. Even when Song Ziqiao was out, Shangshi asked her to fan her. When Song Ziqiao came back, she didn't dare to say a word. Thinking of Shangshi, Gui Qingqing felt uncomfortable. Could it be that she lived next door?
Li Song frowned, "Qingqing, since this is the case, we still need to make more preparations. With these people at home, at least we should save more food. Yes, we have to dig a cellar first... In addition, we need to make more money. There will be a severe drought next year, if there are farmers selling fields, we can also buy more..."

Gui Qingqing said with a smile: "Of course Da Lang is in charge of this kind of thing, but if it's digging a cellar, it's better for Da Lang to do it himself, so as not to be found out."

"I know, the cellar entrance should be placed in our house, it happens to be possible to build a wine cellar..."

When Gui Qingqing heard Li Song talk about the wine cellar, she hurriedly asked the wine shop again, and learned that everything was going well, and that Lihuabai would be on the market in two months. Uncle can only charge more food, but how to convince Uncle Zhong has to find a suitable reason.

The couple racked their brains and couldn't come up with any good solution. Li Song smiled and said: "Forget it, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. We will talk about it later. If there is a severe drought, we can't just watch people Starve to death but take food to make wine, don't you think?"

Gui Qingqing nodded, "It's a pity that our money is too little, and I'm afraid it won't help." Back then, Song Ziqiao took the opportunity to buy a lot of land. Of course, he also gave porridge, so his reputation in Qingpu County is not counted. too bad...

Seeing that his wife was always distracted, Li Song thought she was worried about next year's affairs, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, even if you can't predict in advance, I will definitely not let you go hungry. Now that we know in advance, we can How many people are saved counts as much, as long as you can do what you can, and be ashamed of your heart, don’t worry about it.”

Gui Qingqing smiled and said, "Da Lang is right, I believe you."

"You encourage your sister and brother-in-law to come to the county because you are afraid that they will be busy next year?"

"Of course it's not all for this. I also hope to be a companion with my sister. By the way, Li Yu and Li Bai are also..."

"No, let's save more food, and when they run out of food, just give them some. Qingqing, the less people who know about this, the better, and you can't just talk nonsense to people."

Of course Gui Qingqing knew this truth, she just felt that God opened his eyes, knowing that the last life was unfair to her, and this life allowed her to find a husband like Li Song.

The couple talked for a while, and Gui Qingqing talked about the possible move of the Shang family. Li Song couldn't help but frown. Make do with yourself?What is her purpose?I didn't expect Wang Zhenzhen to be solved by the Shang family so easily. It seems that the Shang family is not simple. They just don't know what they are doing. How much does the Shang family know...

Li Song buried these thoughts in his heart, and he didn't dare to let Gui Qingqing know, so he just coaxed her: "Move here, you're just a girl, so what? Let's rest early, don't you have to go out to look for tomorrow?" The storefront? Besides, Fatty Yuan’s place, I’ll let you go as well.”

Gui Qingqing was looking for a store, helping her sister's family find a house, and dealing with Fatty Yuan, while Li Song went to the yamen during the day and started digging the cellar when he found time. People have experienced a lot, their life has ups and downs, and they have experienced many things. They always feel that there is food at home and don’t panic. He strongly agrees, and he doesn’t even go to the winery. He digs with Li Song. The family is so busy. Until the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This morning, Gui Qingqing only felt very tired, but the pastry shop was about to open, and her sister had a big belly, so she had to barely get up. During the meal, Li Song asked: "Qingqing, your complexion is not very good, Are you too tired recently? How about resting at home today..."

"How can I do that? The shop needs to open sooner, and the rent is five taels a month!" Gui Qingqing served Li Fuman's meal, then handed over the chopsticks, and asked, "Father, the cellar at home has just been dug. Can the food do it?"

"Okay, now that the grain has just been harvested and the price is not expensive, our own grain cellar is not full, so we have to buy some more."

Gui Qingqing looked at Li Song, wondering how she encouraged her father-in-law to collect the grain, but she didn't ask.At this time, the last dish cooked by Mrs. Zeng was also served. It was Gui Qingqing's favorite steamed fish. How could she know that when she smelled the smell of fish today, she hurriedly put down the dishes and ran to the yard and was dry for a while. Vomiting, Li Song hurriedly asked: "Qingqing, what's wrong with you? What's wrong?"

Mrs. Zeng is someone who has been here before. When she saw the situation, she smiled and said, "Isn't grandma already there?"

Mr. Li Fuman's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had long been looking forward to having a long-term eldest son, but he was so anxious that he couldn't help it. , the old man felt that he really looked like he was pregnant, he hurriedly said: "Da Lang, why are you standing there stupidly? Hurry up and ask the doctor to feel the pulse of your daughter-in-law."

"No, no, no!" Gui Qingqing knows her own affairs clearly, and it's not that she has never had a child. After Mrs. Zeng said this, she remembered that her childhood was indeed a little later. Originally, Gui Qingqing only regarded it as a child. I've been too busy lately, and I'm not allowed to have a good time. Now that I have this symptom, it's obvious that she was thinking about it. She hurriedly said: "Da Lang, you don't have to go, I'm fine..."

Li Song was full of surprise, and held Gui Qingqing's arm with both hands, "You really have it, so I'm going to be a father?"

Gui Qingqing lowered her eyelids, her father-in-law was still at the side, how could she have the nerve to say this?

Li Fuman said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Zeng quickly took the fish away, Dalang's wife can't smell this. Dalang, why don't you let your daughter-in-law eat quickly? You're so silly." , I won’t go anywhere, I’ll just stay at home and watch your children.”

Li Song came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Father, how can I bother you, I can invite a nanny then."

"Hey, then I have to watch, in case she bumps my grandson."

The father and son are actually talking about this right now. Gui Qingqing listened to it and felt dumbfounded, but her eyes were already wet, but she didn't know whether it was sweet or sour in her heart.His face was already red up to the ears.

Li Song pulled her back to the dining table, and Gui Qingqing hurriedly said: "Da Lang, I'd better go back to the house and eat. Mrs. Zeng cooked fish, you and Daddy can eat it."

Li Fuman hurriedly said: "It's okay, let's eat quickly, there are a lot of dishes on the table, how can I have these dishes when I go back to my room?"

Li Song laughed from ear to ear, and his father said that he was a little silly for being happy, and he didn't think his father was much better.

Gui Qingqing only stared at the bowl in front of her. This is a coral-red pastel baby play bowl. It was given by the old lady of the Qin family last time. The old lady of the Qin family said that the husband and wife share this bowl. Sun, I didn't expect to have a child so soon. Gui Qingqing originally thought that it would be better to have a child later, and she also wanted to make more money.

This coral-red-glazed bowl has an open mouth and a deep belly. It is painted with pavilions, palms, and red columns, and there are four pairs of boys playing. Boys of the same color, some children are playing in the water, some are playing Firecrackers, some playing with the little lamb, and a pair holding a big carp.

Gui Qingqing looked at the white and tender boy on the bowl, and couldn't help but feel a little lost. She remembered clearly that she was pregnant at this time in her last life. She really didn't expect that it would be like this again. This child is her own. , she believes that she will never be taken away by Shang again...
