Chapter 56: Serving the Qin family every day
During the autumn harvest, Qin Rui and his wife went home.

When leaving, Qin Yue gave her two taels of silver, plus fifty kilograms of stick noodles, ten kilograms of white noodles, a knife of pork, and some dry goods.

Qin Rui was so moved that she hugged Qin Yue and started crying.

Although Guo Dazhuang looked rough, when he saw this scene, his eyes turned red and he looked away.

Qin Yue pushed her away in disgust, "Cry, cry, make my new clothes wet."

Qin Rui quickly wiped her tears and said, "I'm sorry, sister, let's go back and collect the crops in the field, arrange the home and then come back."

"There's no rush. I'll stay home for two more days to spend time with the elderly and children."

Just like that, the two of them walked away carrying baskets filled with things Qin Yue had given them.

The villagers looked at him at the door of their houses with hot eyes.

The weather is getting colder and colder, the autumn harvest is coming, and the fields are covered with winter wheat.

The farmer's sweet potatoes and corn have been harvested, and the yard is almost full.

Mrs. Dong took Wan'er with her, and when she had free time, she would peel corn kernels, dry them in the sun and bag them.

Qin Yue took Wu and cut the sweet potatoes into small pieces and ground them with a stone, intending to make them into powder.

The village chief knew that the Sun family and his wife were working at the banker, so he talked to Qin Yuehao and gave her his second, third, and fourth sons and asked her to make arrangements.

In this way, Sun Yugui gained three more subordinates, plus Guo Dazhuang, four more.

With more than 100 acres of land, they are busy every day.

Qin Rui and his wife were really honest. They came back within a few days after harvesting the autumn harvest.

After Wu learned how to make rice noodles, Qin Rui helped her and stopped going to the fields.

At the end of October, when the project was completed, Team Leader Zheng specially asked the workers to clean it carefully.

Qin Yue took her family and looked around every corner.

She nodded with satisfaction. She admired how the ancient craftsmen could build such a delicate house under limited conditions.

Immediately settle the remaining balance of the house building, and the next step is to fence the wasteland.

This wall must be built, and it must be built as soon as possible.

Compared with previous projects, the work of erecting the wall was easier and faster. With everyone's joint efforts, it was completed in half a month.

As for the wild boars and deer, that's not a problem.

Qin Yue had already thought about it. She asked people to dig the foundation of the wall at the foot of the mountain one meter deep. The wall is five meters high and one and a half meters thick. The pure stone structure is equivalent to a small dam, even if there are flash floods and mudslides. Don't worry, there is a passage more than ten meters wide between the wall and the mountain, and it flows directly to other places.

As for the septic tank, it is located in a large kang not far from the foot of the mountain. The sewer paved with bluestone is extremely smooth and will not cause any obstruction from shallow to deep.

Bantou Zheng is very satisfied with this project. This is the most reasonable house and the best home he has ever encountered.

When he left with the workers, Qin Yue gave him 50 taels of silver.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'm here to treat you all to a drink."

Captain Zheng took it over with a smile, "Then let me thank you on behalf of the brothers. If you have such a job again in the future, remember to come to the county to find me."

"it is good!"

The construction team left reluctantly, and this place gave them wonderful memories.

Qin Yue stood outside, looking at her door.

It's really grand, with a three-meter-wide solid wood door, bluestone-paved steps, and a slope so vehicles can easily enter.

She held her chin and thought, should she get two stone lions or plant osmanthus trees on both sides?

Zhuang Shi came to her side and blushed when he thought of that night.

"Qin Yue, what are you thinking about?"

Qin Yue tilted her head and asked, "Can ordinary people place stone lions at their doorsteps?"

"No, only powerful people are qualified."

"Okay, how about planting two sweet-scented osmanthus trees?"

"Well, the osmanthus tree not only has a good meaning, but when the flowers bloom, you can also use it to make osmanthus cake."

"There are wild ones in the mountains. I'll dig up two about the same size and move them over later."

Zhuang Shi looked at the house and sighed: "Thanks to you, I can live in such a house in this life."

Qin Yue held his hand, and Zhuang Shi's whole body tensed up, "Well, it's dinner time, I'm going to cook."

Want to run?Qin Yue would not follow his will. She had promised to eat him, so she had to let him get used to it first.

"Are you shy about holding hands?" "No, no."

"Then why don't you do this when you put your arms around my shoulders and pull me into your arms?"

"I, I was acting."

Shi Shi stammered and was so nervous.

"Come on, let's go home with me. Let's practice more."

The villagers watched this scene from a distance and were really envious.

"The banker is really lucky. Qin has only been there for a few months. He is buying land and building a house. Even though Qin is an old lady, Zhuang Shi has benefited greatly."

"That is, if it were me, I would provide for Mrs. Qin every day, so that she would be so damn blessed."

"Don't say that Mrs. Qin is old. Maybe she was before. Look at her now. She doesn't look like a woman, but more like a girl."

"Oh, if you didn't tell me, I really didn't pay attention. Look at that little face, how tender it is. The girls from the old Gu family in our village are not as tender as her."

"That was a shock at the Yang family."

Mrs. Zhou was listening on the other side, feeling really uncomfortable.

In the past, she used to show off her brick house in the village, but now she sees that the village chief's house is better than her own, and the banker's house is a hundred times better than her own.

Fortunately, Yang Shaohua has already taken up a job in the county. Although it is not ideal, he is still a member of the yamen.

This alone can make Mr. Zhou walk around the village with his head held high.

Yang Shaohua left in early October and has not come back yet. Huang Wei also has a house in the county, so she took people to move her things and went to the county.

Qingyun and Qingting also wanted to go to the county town, but their stepmother didn't agree.

I had no choice but to stay, going in and out every day, looking at the banker's house with annoyance.

After Sun Liang built the house, he left one or two silver coins for Qiao's living expenses and went out to work.

Mrs. Qiao hated her parents-in-law and never went to the old house. However, she had nothing to do. She let her children play in the village and was tired of being with Ms. Zhou.

"Auntie, you sit here every day, do you notice anything?"

Zhou glared at her, "Didn't you say they sleep in separate beds?"

"yes,"

"But when I saw the two of them holding hands, not to mention how good they were, I was afraid they would have slept together long ago, bah!"

"It was staged for outsiders to see. In fact, the two of them never consummated their marriage."

Mrs. Zhou snorted coldly: "My third son is from the Yamen and will be a high official in the future. Mrs. Qin is playing hard to get, huh!"

"Is it still possible for her and Shaohua?"

"Then please explain why Qin didn't consummate the marriage with Zhuang Shi?"

"That's right. Your third son is a scholar and has a lot of potential. After all, she and him have been married for many years. How can she not have feelings for each other?"

Zhou curled her lips with a look of disdain:

"She is just hypocritical. She insists on making our Yang family bow down and build such a nice house just to make us angry."

Mrs. Qiao said angrily: "Huh, my parents-in-law insisted on separating our family because of her. Now they are popular in his family and drink spicy food. They don't even think about me. They don't even care about their grandchildren."

"You don't know?" Zhou was a little surprised.

"What?"

"Your parents, as well as Qin's sister, brother-in-law, and the village chief's three sons, are all working at the banker's house. I heard that the wages paid are quite high."

Qiao stood up suddenly, her face really hurt from being hit:
"Aren't you just eating and drinking?"

Mrs. Zhou looked at her with disdain, "You think the banker is stupid for eating and drinking all the time. Who doesn't know how to keep the good stuff for yourself?"

"How much do you pay per month?" Qiao asked anxiously.

"They were very tight-lipped and didn't say a word."

Mrs. Qiao felt a little regretful in her heart, but her mouth became even tougher.

"You still need to hire people on that little bit of wasteland? I'm afraid that the food produced by then won't be enough to pay the wages."

Zhou said sourly: "What? That's more than 100 acres. She also bought the land near the mountain."

"Oh my god, does she have money to burn?"
