Chapter 120 The Eve of Parting
After the Zhou family left, Qin Ruo first went to check on the crops that had been planted previously.
After planting that thing, Qin Ruo secretly watered it with the spring water in the space. Qin Zimu was very concerned about these crops.
He was afraid that the crops planted in the vegetable garden would be frozen, so in addition to the simple shed he had built before, Qin Zimu also used a brazier to burn firewood next to it to keep it warm.
Qin Zimu is very interested in growing crops and has many ideas.
He also deliberately left a corner without doing any insulation work, wanting to see what the difference would be afterwards.
A few days later, he was surprised to find that the growth rate of the land without insulation was much slower.
Qin Ruo once secretly told Qin Zimu that if these new crops were really grown, there would be no shortage of money to earn.
Qin Zimu had no doubt at all about what Qin Ruo said and treated those ridges of land as treasures.
Seeing this, Old Lady Qin was confused. She felt sorry for the firewood. She didn't understand why she had to take care of a small vegetable plot like an ancestor.
Although she felt heartbroken, knowing that it was Qin Ruo who asked Qin Zimu to do it, Old Lady Qin naturally did not dare to say a word.
Every time I go out and see dry branches and wood, I pick some up.
Qin Tiaotiao was not interested. She was tired of seeing those crops in the space.
Qin Zimu followed Qin Ruo and reported to her on the growth of these new crops.
Qin Tiaotiao had nothing to do, so he had to go back under the tree to tease the ants.
Banxia is a diligent little girl. When she has nothing to do, she simply helps clean the house inside and out.
He also filled several large water tanks in the yard and never stopped.
Old Mrs. Qin had never been served by anyone in her life. When a strange girl suddenly came to her house, she felt uncomfortable running around.
He kept telling Banxia to take a rest and not to get too tired.
Banxia just responded with a smile and turned back to work.
After lunch, Banxia, Qin Tiaotiao and Qin Zimu played small games in the yard.
Banxia is young and lively and cheerful, and can get along with everyone.
Qin Tiaotiao and Qin Zimu were full of energy and they played together for an entire afternoon.
After the snow on the winter solstice, the sun began to shine in Changhe Village today. Old Mrs. Qin moved a lounge chair outside the yard to bask in the sun.
Seeing the genuine smile on Qin Zimu's face and thinking about the past, Old Mrs. Qin felt guilty and ashamed, and her eyes suddenly became moist.
She was afraid that others would notice something was wrong, so she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Qin Ruo was drawing the floor plan of the new house inside. Since she was planning to build a new house, she might as well do it all at once.
She planned to build a two-story house with a terrace.
Every profession has its own specialties, and Qin Ruo is not omnipotent. After revising it until almost evening, he finally completed the design.
Fortunately, when I bought a house in my previous life, I also studied house design for a while and referred to countless cases.
The basic outline of the house design has been completed.
When she put away the drawings and walked out of the room, Banxia had just brought the meal prepared by Old Lady Qin to the table.
Banxia had been busy for the whole morning, but Old Lady Qin was unwilling to let Banxia do the cooking for dinner and just asked her to help.
When it was time to eat, Banxia took her food outside to eat.
No matter how much Old Lady Qin persuaded him, he refused to sit at the table.
"Madam, you must not break the rules. A servant cannot eat at the same table with the master." Banxia's attitude was even serious.
In fact, Banxia had already gotten used to it when she was at Xie's house.
On the contrary, it was Old Lady Qin who felt bad. Seeing Banxia eating alone at the small table beside her, she felt uncomfortable all over.
In Old Lady Qin's way of thinking, anyone who comes to the door is a guest.
Even though Banxia was a maid, she was still a guest of the Qin family.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Banxia, Old Lady Qin had to give up and filled another bowl of food and brought it over.
Qin Ruo had told her before that Banxia had a big appetite, so Old Lady Qin was relieved.
"Don't try to persuade her, or Banxia will feel even more uncomfortable. Just let her go." Qin Ruo spoke up to stop Old Lady Qin.
In fact, it's not just Banxia, but also Xundong, Yiqiu, and Chuntao, the concept of master and servant has long been deeply rooted.
Qin Ruo herself didn't mind, but if she really let the maids eat at the same table with her, she would probably find it hard to swallow the food.
Hearing Qin Ruo speaking up to help her out, Banxia gave her a grateful look.
After the meal, Banxia took the initiative to clean up the dishes, tables and chairs. Old Mrs. Qin kept praising her, saying that the maid Qin Ruo found was really good.
Even though Banxia was a carefree person, her face turned red when she was praised and she found an excuse to avoid him.
Qin Ruo smiled knowingly. With Banxia and Qin Tiaotiao in the house, she suddenly felt full of vitality.
Qin Zimu was genuinely happy and proud for his sister who had bought a restaurant.
Sister, you don’t have to go into the mountains to hunt anymore, and you won’t encounter danger again.
Now, my elder sister is very strong and will never be bullied again.
When he saw Zhou Dazhui being sent out by his elder sister to gain experience, he was actually quite envious and longed to grow up quickly so that he could help his elder sister.
After all, I am too weak now.
"Erlang, why don't you come with me to live in Taihe County for a while tomorrow? You haven't been out for a long time."
"Sister, is it really possible?" Qin Zimu raised his head in disbelief, with surprise in his eyes.
During this period of time, he insisted on practicing spoken English every day. As long as he spoke slower, he basically stopped stuttering. His progress was quite obvious.
"Brother Zimu, go ahead. When we get to Taihe County, I'll ask Sister Banxia to take us to buy some delicious food."
Qin Tiaotiao hurried forward, grabbed Qin Zimu's hand, and persuaded him to go to Taihe County.
After most of the day, he had become familiar with Qin Zimu and Zhou Erzhu.
After only two days in the house, he felt a little bored.
Although he had two playmates, Xiaonan and Xiaobei, they were too reserved and couldn't have fun at all.
"Sister, forget it. I'm not going. I have to stay home and take care of our two oxen and the things in the vegetable garden. These are all silver."
Qin Zimu was only happy for a second and soon came to his senses again.
"Erlang, your sister asked you to go, so just stay for a few days. You don't have to worry about the family, you still have me, an old man, to take care of you."
Old Mrs. Qin quickly stepped forward as if nothing had happened and told Qin Erlang to go to Taihe County with Qin Ruo without worry.
In fact, she was feeling very sad at the moment.
Ruo'er invited Erlang but didn't call her. The expression on her face was full of disappointment.
"Grandma, you might as well come with us. When you return to the village, you can be very proud and show off to the old ladies and old men at the entrance of the village. It's a good deal."
Qin Tiaotiao is a smart guy. He has a deep impression of this stingy and showy old lady.
The scene of getting up in the middle of the night, secretly putting on a hairpin in front of a basin of water under the moonlight, and laughing like a pig, would never be erased from his mind.
Qin Tiaotiao's call of "Grandma" was drawn out in a long voice.
