peasant ugly daughter-in-law

Chapter 23
There are too many things that need to be bought at home, so it's worth spending money on. Since I can't buy them all this time, I'll buy them next time. Clothes, sheets... Thinking of these, Ye Qingqing has already entered the house.

"Miss."

Li Rui, who was feeding the rabbit, heard the movement, and got up to welcome the last time happily. He wanted to take the wooden basin from Ye Qingqing's waist with one hand, but found that the wooden basin was not moving at all. Tried, but the result is still the same.

"You are a scholar who is useless, and you are right." Li Rui lowered his eyes, his thick eyelashes trembling slightly, casting a shadow, making it impossible to see the ups and downs in his eyes, his pale face, contrasting He is even more distressing.

"No! Of course not!" Ye Qingqing put the tubs together, patiently as if coaxing a child, "I cook, you can help me hang the clothes."

Li Rui still lowered his head, and his voice was soft and powerless, "I can only dry clothes at home." With a thin body, it seems that Ye Qingqing can push him down with one finger, so he can't blame so many people I thought they were a weird couple.

"how could be?"

Ye Qingqing was very patient, as if the ages of the two were reversed, she took Li Rui's hand and walked into the house, "You can paint, write, write, do your home, and you can go up the mountain to help me. By the way, you can also make bamboo arrows for me." , Practical and exquisite, I don’t have many bamboo arrows on my body now, and it’s not enough to go up the mountain, if you didn’t lead the way, I would definitely not be able to find that fat bamboo forest.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt her hand tighten, and at the same time, Li Rui's excited words came from her ears.

Li Rui held Ye Qingqing's hand instead, his eyes sparkled, full of anticipation, and he looked listless just now, he said happily: "My lady, so you agree that I will go into the mountains with you to fetch bamboo?"

Seeing that Ye Qingqing didn't answer, he shook her arm lightly, as if coquettishly reminding, "Lady, you clearly agreed just now, but you can't go back on your word." His voice was soft and soft, and Ye Qingqing looked straight at her. , he obviously lacked confidence.

The corners of Ye Qingqing's eyes twitched, she watched Li Rui quietly, and remained silent. How dare he pretend to be pitiful?

Her face gradually darkened, and she frowned slightly.

"My lady—" Li Rui called softly.

Ye Qingqing's face gradually returned to normal, and she sighed helplessly, "Li Rui, you still have to stay at home. When you recover, I will accompany you wherever you want to go, okay? I keep my word. You If you are bored, you can draw and write. I haven’t seen you draw before, so it must be very beautiful, right? When I finish picking up the bamboo, I can just see your paintings when I get home.”

"Miss, it's too dangerous for you to be alone!" Li Rui was a little anxious, but he still refused to give up. "Have you forgotten the last time? What will you do if you meet a tiger again?"

"I..." Ye Qingqing couldn't say anything at this time, and she couldn't say it. Could she say that it would be easier for me to deal with tigers if you weren't here?Obviously not.

Her face darkened, and she pretended to be fierce and said, "If you don't let me go, you won't let me go." She withdrew her hand and turned to dry the clothes.

Li Rui looked at Ye Qingqing's back when he turned around, his eyes dimmed, and he stayed where he was for a long time.

Ye Qingqing almost couldn't help agreeing to him, but she still gritted her teeth and held back, she was doing it for his own good.Recently, no matter whether he was going into the city or up the mountain, Li Rui often followed him. Looking at his pale face and thin body, she wished she could cut off her own flesh and paste it on him, so how could she bear him to accompany her to the fat bamboo forest? Far away?
But he is so stubborn, she really doesn't know whether to be happy or worried.

The next day, according to the agreement between the two, Ye Qingqing invited Zhou Hui's family and her fiancé to the house as guests. In fact, Ye Qingqing just wanted Zhou Hui to help her set up a trip to sea.

Zhou Hui's family, Qiangzi, and Qiangzi's little nephew Pangpang all arrived. They went to sit in the room, and Zhou Hui, who was watching, suddenly pulled Ye Qingqing to the kitchen.

The kitchen is just the two of them.

Zhou Hui glanced at the room through the window, then turned to look at Ye Qingqing, and lowered her voice, "Sister, did you quarrel with Li Shusheng?"

Ye Qingqing froze for a moment, the scene from yesterday appeared in her mind, was that a quarrel?
She thought that Li Rui was indeed taciturn compared to before all day yesterday, so she couldn't help but ask, "Did you see that?"

After asking, Ye Qingqing frowned, and her gaze fell to the direction where Li Rui disappeared at the door, thoughtfully.

"I knew it." Zhou Hui looked as she expected, "Sister, a discerning person can tell that, if it were normal, what are you doing? Even if you can't help, you still have to say some thoughtful words to warm your heart."

With a puff, Ye Qingqing suddenly came back to his senses, and couldn't help laughing when he heard the second half of Zhou Hui's words.

Zhou Hui was inexplicably laughed at, "Aren't you concerned about your little couple, why are you laughing at me?"

Ye Qingqing shook her hands quickly, and laughed almost out of breath, "Sister Hui, I didn't laugh at you, don't get me wrong. I think Li Rui is actually throwing a child's temper, so I'll just coax her."

Hearing that Ye Qingqing could say this, Zhou Hui was relieved, "Men need to be coaxed, let's say Qiangzi, don't look at a big and three rough old men, they are actually..." She covered her face and smiled, feeling ashamed and happy.

The two chatted and talked, at first they revolved around men and living, and then as noon approached, the topic finally fell on cooking.

Zhou Hui wondered where Ye Qingqing learned her good cooking skills. Ye Qingqing vaguely said that she used to be introverted, she stayed at home all day and figured it out on her own, without a teacher.Taking advantage of the conversation between the two, Ye Qingqing also asked out the confusion in her heart, but there were some things that Ye Qingqing couldn't ask directly in person, so she could only ask Zhou Hui about "her" past affairs in a roundabout way.

After asking, I found out that no one in this village knew Ye Qingqing's life experience. As long as Zhou Hui could remember, Ye Qingqing stayed in the dilapidated earthen house, but Zhou Hui asked the old people in the village that Ye Qingqing was very young. When I was young, there was an old woman by my side, but she passed away later.

Although Ye Qingqing still doesn't know who her parents are, and she's not sure if her right cheek is inherited from her family, but it's better than nothing. When she has free time, she will go to the old house and maybe she will have some clues.

"Little aunt, I want to eat the meal cooked by Sister Qingqing." Pangpang, who was playing with rabbits in the yard, suddenly ran into the kitchen and looked at Ye Qingqing with wide eyes.

"Pangpang, you have to call Aunt Qingqing." Zhou Hui walked over quickly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, hugged Pangpang, and rubbed his little head. When he called her like that, Qingqing was a generation behind her.

Ye Qingqing was also amused by this big fat boy, "Pangpang is like calling auntie to prepare delicious food for you. What do you want to eat? Tell auntie." Pangpang is five years old this year, and she is just 15 years old. She is older than him At the age of ten, it's normal to call her aunt in the countryside. A while ago, Ye Qingqing sent a bowl of rabbit meat to Zhou Hui's family, and it happened that Pangpang was there, so the little guy remembered that she cooked delicious food.
