The sturdy peasant girl in space

Chapter 67 Preparing for the New Year
"Sister-in-law." Qi Ruyi came in and called softly.

"Um, sit down. Why are you looking for something?" Bai Jingwen sat up and looked at her and asked curiously, but Qi Ruyi rarely took the initiative to find herself.

"It's nothing. I don't have enough embroidery thread. When you or my eldest brother go to town, bring some back for me, especially the yellow ones. I'm embroidering a tiger." Qi Ruyi raised her head and replied with a smile.

"Small things, I'll write them down, but do you want to visit the town?" Bai Jingwen asked.

"What are you sister-in-law talking about?" Mrs. Li came in with a pot of boiling water and asked curiously.

"Uh, it's nothing. I don't want to ask me to bring some embroidery thread. I think she is not too young. Do you want to go to the town?" Bai Jingwen sat up straight and replied.

"Mom, can I go? I haven't been to the town yet when I'm here." Qi Ru thought that Bai Jingwen spoke like this, and she also asked with hope in her heart, looking at Li Shi expectantly.

"If you want to go, just go, if you follow closely, you should go out for a walk at this age, but the road is too slippery, so Xiaowen don't go, just let Tianyu take her.

Besides, you haven't bought less cloth in the past six months, so don't buy it this New Year, but you don't have enough cotton, so remember to ask Tianyu to buy some back. " Li Shi said to Bai Jingwen, and at the same time, she could see that Qi Ruyi couldn't sit still after going out for two consecutive days.

Bai Jingwen had no choice but to continue to say: "Well, it's nothing to do with me, but I'm afraid that a big man like Tianyu is too careless to buy all the things, or I can take care of the house and you can go shopping too."

"It's true that I haven't been to town for a while. It depends on the situation. If I can get the pair of pillowcases out, I will go with them. Let's go, let's eat when the meal is ready, or it will get cold later."

Bai Jingwen reluctantly walked out with Li's mother and daughter, thinking that she couldn't do anything with her pregnancy.

When Qi Tianyu came back in the afternoon, he saw Bai Jingwen sitting on the bed making new clothes for him.

"I'm back." Bai Jingwen raised her head and greeted at this moment.

"Well, this is the land deed. The original owner sold us the servants in the village and a second courtyard, so the 3000 taels were all spent." Qi Tianyu handed her the land deed and house deed.

"You are really capable, so we made money?" Bai Jingwen looked up and replied in surprise.

"Well, the servants I bought are free gifts." Qi Tianyu pinched her nose and replied with a smile.Then sat next to her and put away all the clothes and needlework in her hands, looked at her and asked seriously: "Now that you are pregnant, be careful not to get too tired."

"I see. By the way, if you have time, take your mother and Ruyi to the town to buy things for the New Year. My mother gave me an ultimatum and she won't let me go out recently." Bai Jingwen said listlessly.

"I'll take you there when the road is easy to go, bear with me like me." Qi Tianyu comforted her with a peck on her small mouth.

On this day of Daji, the snow had stopped two days ago. After the sun came out, part of the snow melted, making the road even more slippery.But in order to have a good year, people still walked to the town with sacks and baskets on their backs.Bai Jingwen nailed a rubber non-slip horseshoe to the pony, and Li's mother and son set off early in the morning with Li Si.

Bai Jingwen was left at home with nothing to do. Seeing that the noodles made by Li Shi yesterday were ready for use, she cooked red beans and jujubes, intending to steam the noodles made by Li Shi into bean buns. Bring some sticks and small pillars to the He family.

It was already mid-afternoon when Mrs. Li and his party came back, and Bai Jingwen had already steamed three big pots of bean buns and chilled them in the yard.

"My God, Xiaowen, you've been steaming this one day." Li took a bite of a still warm bean bun and asked in satisfaction.

"Yes, this is not tiring, but you can eat it later, the next pot will be ready soon." Bai Jingwen said.

"Let's eat this if we're really hungry. Let's fill it up first." Qi Tianyu replied.

"Why, you didn't eat anything at the fair at noon." Bai Jingwen asked in surprise when she turned around and saw the four wolfing down their food.

"It was late when we bought all the things. Today there are too many people in those small stalls, and there is nothing to sell. I thought I would come back early to eat, but there were so many people on the road that the carriage couldn't run. This is the point." After eating, Mrs. Li clapped her hands and replied.

"I won't go to the market in the future. There are too many people and I'm exhausted. I want to go back to bed." Qi Ruyi replied weakly after eating in the kitchen and drinking a bowl of water.When Bai Jingwen saw that other people were fine, she knew that it was because she didn't exercise less. It seemed that she had to exercise more in the future.

"Go and take a break, I'll just watch it." Qi Tianyu looked at Bai Jingwen's eyelids and knew that she was sleepy and said thoughtfully.

"Yeah, you go to the rest meeting, we can do it here. But this year, we have moved to a new house and brought in new people, and Si'er is also here. We happen to make a few more things this year to have a good time." Mrs. Li said after thinking about the sweetness of the bean buns.They haven't had a good year since Heli left that family.

In the next few days, Bai Jingwen and Li's mother and son will cook the staple food in different ways and then freeze it outside in a large vat.But Qi Tianyu and Li Si used the carriage to pick up Brother Shuanzi and Qi Tianxiang.

"Sister-in-law, when will my brother know martial arts?" Qi Tianxiang got up early the next day and saw Qi Tianyu fighting Li Si, and Bai Jingwen gave some advice from time to time, so he walked over curiously and asked.

"You learned it not long after you left. How are you doing in the past six months? If you're not nervous, let your brother or Li Sijiao teach you. At least you can exercise your body." Bai Jingwen turned her head and smiled back.

"Hehe, I went there relatively late. Although I usually study by myself, I still can't keep up. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been home for half a year." Qi Tianxiang replied shyly.

"You really don't know why you are so anxious. Many people are just children when you are your age. Don't push yourself too hard. I think you should not take part in next year's provincial examination. Wait for another three years. That's it. You also have plenty of time, during which you can also go on a study tour and walk around, which will be good for your rural examination and future general examinations.

I heard that the current emperor is a wise king and would not want a champion who doesn't distinguish between five grains, do you understand what I mean? "Bai Jingwen shook her head and said worriedly, Qi Tianxiang is not in the right state, and she is really afraid that he will be forced out of illness by herself.

"Sister-in-law, I understand. Let me think about it." Qi Tianxiang replied earnestly. Although the master said that he had made great progress in the past six months, when he asked about the results of the provincial examination, the master did not answer directly. It seemed that he was still impatient. up.

"What are you talking about? You are talking so lively." Qi Tianyu stopped and took the towel handed over by Bai Jingwen to wipe off his sweat.

Qi Tianxiang repeated Bai Jingwen's words and asked, "Brother, what do you think?"

"What can I think, you know your grades in your heart, if you are not sure, you can wait another three years, as your sister-in-law said, you are still young, you can walk around and have a look. Even if you win the ranking next year, it will be fine Going there, it's better to get a good ranking three years later, which will also benefit you in the future." Qi Tianyu patted him on the shoulder and said.
