Chapter 69
In the middle of the afternoon, Zheng Guixiang pulled Li Qingyu aside, her brows were happy, her daughter and son-in-law were finally getting better, "Qingyu, mother is going back."

Li Qingyu was reluctant to keep her, "Mother, take a two-night break before going back?"

Zheng Guixiang waved her hand, "No, your family is narrow. When you build your new house, I'll come and live there."

Li Qingyu thought about the current conditions of her family. If her mother stayed, Chu Rong would have to sleep in a shed. "Alright, then my mother will stay for a few more days and enjoy the happiness at her daughter's house."

"Okay." Zheng Guixiang hesitated, but finally said, "Qingyu, your family has invited so many people now, how about having your brother and sister-in-law come to help?"

Hearing that, Li Qingyu is not surprised. Her mother loves her daughter, but relatively speaking, she loves her son more.

She said with some embarrassment, "Mother, I can't control this matter..."

It's not that she can't be the master, and it's not that she doesn't want to take care of the two older brothers, but the position of her family in her heart is more important than that of her mother's family, and she needs to consider the mood of her family more.

Zheng Guixiang thought about it for a while, and yes, what if her son-in-law has any opinion if she asks her daughter to open this mouth?
She patted the back of Zheng Guixiang's hand. She wanted to take care of her son, but she didn't want to hurt her daughter and son-in-law. "I'll go to Chu Rong and tell me."

Chu Rong was building furniture in the yard, and the new house was built. Qingzhi said that the furniture was replaced with new ones, and he also supported it, so his current task was to build furniture for the new house.

The furniture is all drawings given by Chu Qingzhi, and each piece is particularly exquisite.

Now he is playing a long table for dinner. Since there are more children in the family, he has never eaten at a table. He thinks Qingzhi's idea is good, so he strongly supports it.

Zheng Guixiang walked towards Chu Rong, "Chu Rong, mother wants to discuss something with you."

Chu Rong stopped what he was doing and looked at Zheng Guixiang, "Mother, if you have something to say, I will not refuse what I can do."

Zheng Guixiang asked expectantly, "Chu Rong, can you ask my brother and sister-in-law to come to your house to help?"

Chu Rong glanced at Li Qingyu, who was looking worried behind Zheng Guixiang. He couldn't refuse this. Let outsiders come to work at home, but not relatives. It was a big gossip, and there were no children in the family. Married, their family's reputation is not bad.

"Mother, look at what you said, brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces can come as long as they want."

Zheng Guixiang said with a wide-eyed smile, "Chu Rong, thank you so much, I will let them come over tomorrow."

Now that he had agreed, Chu Rong simply said generously, "Okay."

Li Qinghu, Li Qingwu, and Li Jianheng were all watching the villagers make sorbet in the shed at this time. They had been here all afternoon, and their eyes were always full of surprise.

Especially after seeing the ice stone that can be called a god stone.

Zheng Guixiang's voice came from behind them, "Qinghu, Qingwu, Jianheng, go."

Li Qinghu replied, "Mother, here we come."

The three walked out together.

Li Qingyu is not a stingy person. She went to the kitchen to pack some meat, and then went to the kitchen to get some fabrics for Zheng Guixiang, "Mother, I gave this to you."

There is no shortage of food and clothing at home now. She is very aware of the situation of her mother's family. There are many children in the family, and the situation is not much better than they used to be.

Zheng Guixiang happily accepted, "Qingyu, mother is gone."

Li Qingyu said, "Mother, I will send it to you."

The four of them went out together, Grandma Chu and Grandpa Chu, everyone came out to see them off.

Chu Bamei chased out and put two sorbets for Li Jianheng. This is her snack. The sorbet at home needs to be sold for money, and she won't give it away if she sells the money. "Third cousin, eat it on the road."

Li Jianheng happily took it, "Bamei Chu, thank you."

Eighth Sister Chu waved her hand. This little girl likes to show off. Now her vanity is greatly satisfied, she is very happy, "You're welcome."

The four of them drifted farther and farther away, and the Chu family continued to work on their own affairs.

……

On the way, Li Qinghu said with emotion, "Mother, second brother, the conditions of Qin Yu's family are very good now."

Li Qingwu answered immediately, with an expression that could not hide his envy, "Yeah, thinking about the big pot of pork ribs and potatoes at noon, and the white fat rice, I still have a lot of aftertastes."

He ate two full bowls. In fact, he could eat four bowls, but he was embarrassed to eat more, so he only ate two bowls.

Li Jianheng couldn't help but say, "Grandma, have you told my aunt's house?"

Zheng Guixiang's face was full of joy, "I said, I told your uncle, he agreed, saying that our whole family can go."

Li Jianheng was surprised, "Really?"

Zheng Guixiang nodded, "Yes."

Li Jianheng said excitedly, "I inquired about it. The wages paid by my aunt's family is one dollar a day, and one month's work is three taels of silver, but I prefer to sell sorbet by myself. I heard Chu Bamei said that the kind of sorbet seller, You can earn more than a coin or two in a day.”

Li Qinghu and Li Qingwu were stunned, "One or two silver coins a day?"

Li Jianheng said, "Yes, father, second uncle, what do you want to do?"

"We..." Li Qinghu had some concerns, "Dad just works."

Seeing his father's hesitant appearance, Li Jianheng said, "By the way, father, your furniture is not good, you can help my uncle with the work, Chu Bamei said that all the furniture in the new house should be replaced with new ones, uncle If you fight alone, you may not finish the fight.”

Li Qinghu moved, "I'll ask tomorrow."

The four negotiated to go further and further.

……

Zhangjia Village.

Zhang Lin picked up the oranges on the ground into the basket one by one. These were all ripe and dropped from the branches by himself.

As he picked it up, he thought, "Why doesn't Chu Xuhua come back to buy oranges, they don't make sorbet anymore?"

He had been waiting with confidence for Chu Xuhua to come back to serve him softly and sell the oranges at a high price. As a result, it had been several days, and there was no trace of the other party.

No, when I went to the county town before and saw hawkers in the streets and alleys, it was impossible to quit.

It can only be that the other party does not want his oranges.

When the thought came to him, he immediately panicked.

He raised his head and looked at the oranges on the branches. If Chu Xuhua didn't want it, he would definitely lose blood this year!

No, he has to go to Chujia Village to ask.

Coincidentally, as soon as he walked to the entrance of Chujia Village, he encountered Chu Xuhua pulling pears back, and he waved and shouted, "Chu Xuhua, Chu Xuhua..."

Chu Xuhua stopped, and after seeing the person clearly, his handsome face immediately turned cold, "What's the matter with you?"

Zhang Lin asked in a low voice, "Don't you want oranges at your house?"

Chu Xuhua nodded lightly, "Well, no, now I want pears."

"Pears?" Zhang Lin looked at the truck.

The shape of the truck compartment is very similar to a matchbox. It is rectangular, with a long side of 1.5 meters and a short side of [-] meters. There are baffles on all four sides, and there are two big wheels underneath, which are very solid and reliable.

Now the carriage of the truck is covered with a layer of hay, and the hay is full of pears.

Zhang Linxin sank to the bottom, "I really don't want oranges anymore?"

"No." Chu Xuhua continued to walk home by pulling the reins, not bothering to pay attention to Zhang Lin who was sitting on the ground and raising the price.

Zhang Lin was hit hard and stared blankly at Chu Xuhua's back, Chu Xuhua didn't want it anymore, he didn't want it anymore, then who would he sell his oranges to?
He hurriedly chased after him, lowering his attitude, "I won't raise the price now, how about selling it to you at the original price?"

Chu Xuhua firmly refused, "You give it to me for free now, and I don't want it either."

Seeing that Chu Xuhua was leaving again, Zhang Lin hurriedly grabbed him, "Chu Xuhua, think about it again."

"Don't think about it, you can keep it for yourself." Chu Xuhua pushed Zhang Lin away and said secretly, don't you think about the consequences before doing things?

Zhang Lin's face was depressed, he stood there, like a beggar.

After a long time, he turned and walked towards Zhangjia Village with difficulty.

After returning to the village, he rushed into the seventh uncle's house. It was the seventh uncle who pushed him to increase the price, otherwise he would not think so at all.

Seventh Uncle didn't expect things to turn out like this. He was a little guilty, but he didn't admit that he was wrong. After all, his starting point was also good.

So the two quarreled, and the more they quarreled, the more fierce they became, and the villagers all came to persuade them. Because of this, the two families forged a deep hatred and stopped communicating with each other.
