Chapter 22 Gu Shuixiu's help, Dong Chenghu arrives

Dong Yunlan quickly greeted Xu Bingyao.

Gu Shuixiu looked at Xu Bingyao's towering belly and chuckled, "It's eight months now! How about you? How about you?"

Xu Bingyao's face was full of maternal glory, and she said happily: "The child is very good and doesn't make trouble. It's just that I have a very good appetite now. I can't help but want to eat, and I'm worried that eating too much will not make you feel better at that time. I'm really scared."

Gu Shuixiu touched her stomach and said seriously: "No matter how much you want to eat, you have to endure it. We have all suffered such losses. If the child is raised, it will be very dangerous if it is too big. By the way, how did your brother study later?"

Gu Shuixiu was negligent about this matter. After helping out, she forgot about some things. Now that she saw Xu Bingyao, she remembered it and asked a few more questions.

Xu Bingyao quickly glanced at Hao, and saw that Hao had no reaction, and felt relieved, and whispered: "I went to study in the next town, but there was a long way from us there, so it was inconvenient to go back and forth. Now I only came back during the Chinese New Year."

"Next town?" Gu Shuixiu thought hard. The town closest to them was Panlong Town. The town closest to Panlong Town was about six or seven days to go back and forth. It was indeed far enough, so it would be better to go to the county!

"Didn't you say you want to go to the county town to ask, what? Is there no suitable private school?"

Xu Bingyao shook her head and her voice became much smaller. "Of course there is one in the county town, but the expenses must be heavy. My brother doesn't want to make me embarrassed, so he just said that he would just go to the town."

Gu Shuixiu said dissatisfiedly: "The town is not a little different from the county's gentleman. Shu Xiu is only expensive for a year, and at most one or two silvers is expensive. There is really no need to let him save this money. Let's talk to your brother. There is a shop in my county town. Now it's time for a shortage of staff. If he is willing to work and study half a day to help, I will pay him the wages. Let him pass half an hour or an hour a day to help me wash dishes. How about I give him ten cents?"

Ten cents a day, only three taels and six hundred cents a year, which is long enough for Xu Binghe to pay for his salary, and he can also study in a private school in the county. If Xu Binghe knew about it, he would definitely agree 100%.

Xu Bingyao knew that Gu Shuixiu was taking care of her younger brother specifically, so she was so moved that she wanted to get up and kneel down to Gu Shuixiu.

The movement here attracted Hao's attention. Hao, who was talking to Dong Yunlan, asked with rare concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Bingyao said gratefully, "Mother-in-law, Shui Xiu said she asked Binghe to go to her shop to help and earn money to study."

Hao was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Gu Shuixiu with a puzzled look on his face.

Gu Shuixiu chuckled and said, "That's right. I think the conditions in the county are not as good as the town, and it's useless. It's a scholar. Bingyao's younger brother can have more knowledge and learn from half-time work and half-study. He can also make more choices in the future. Moreover, it's beneficial to him to contact outsiders. So I mentioned it to Bingyao, but in the end you still have to discuss and decide what to do."

"This is a good thing! If Binghe has no objection, we have no objection." Hao was also happy that Xu Binghe could support him. After all, Xu Binghe was Xu Bingyao's only brother. If Xu Binghe failed to embark on the imperial examination in the future, he could not always rely on his sister to help him! After all, Hao was worried about Qin Chuan, afraid that he would be dragged down by Xu Binghe.

Everyone knew in their hearts that they just didn't say it out. Gu Shuixiu gave Xu Binghe this way out for the Xu siblings, so that Xu Bingyao could be a human being in the Qin family, instead of always feeling short of breath and unable to raise her head. On the other hand, her Ten Mile Fragrance really requires human hands, and it is better to use it than to use it. She knows Xu Binghe's character and feel at ease when using it.

Dong Yunlan listened quietly while they were talking.

It was not until he heard something happening at the door that he turned his head and happened to see Uncle Qin enter the door panting. Dong Yunlan still had an impression of Uncle Qin. He was only a little older than he remembered. He immediately stood up and called sweetly: "Hello Uncle Qin."

Uncle Qin's eyes shone as soon as he saw Dong Yunlan, exactly the same as Hao's reaction. Hao smiled and said, "How about the head of the family? Cheng Hu and the others are really capable. They actually found Yunlan back!"

Uncle Qin nodded mechanically, then laughed and said, "You go and cook food quickly. Today I will stay with Yunlan and Shuixiu for a meal at our house!"

Seeing Uncle Qin's reaction, Hao knew how happy he was. He immediately smiled and asked Liu Yueyi to go to the kitchen to cook with her. Since it was a happy day, he naturally had to make a sumptuous meal to entertain guests.

Gu Shuixiu saw Uncle Qin settled down after seeing her words, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, so she had to let Cuixi go and go back to Cuizhu Mountain to say something to Dong Chenghu and the others.

As a result, Cuixi never returned together, but instead attracted Dong Chenghu.

Uncle Qin couldn't help but tell them about the past when he saw Dong Chenghu. Gu Shuixiu was very curious about her deceased parents-in-law, so she listened with relish.

Hao and Liu Yueyi were busy in the kitchen for a long time. After Uncle Qin and his friends finished speaking, the food was not ready yet, Gu Shuixiu went out to take a look.

The kitchen is now under the control of Liu Yueyi. She is more meticulous in her work, and she is much slower than Hao's.

When the two saw Gu Shuixiu coming in and said they wanted to help. Hao quickly drove her out, "The kitchen is messy, don't come in."

Gu Shuixiu shook twice and asked aggrievedly: "Auntie, I came in to see if the food is ready. If it is not done, I can also help you. Uncle asked just now, Bingyao is heavy and not as flexible as me, so I have to come in."

Liu Yueyi didn't hold back when she heard this, and laughed out loud. Hao scolded, "You two are half a dozen, but you still think Bingyao is not as flexible as you!"

Anyway, they are all pregnant women, and in Hao's eyes they are very expensive, not to mention that Gu Shuixiu is still a guest, how could she come and take action?

Seeing that Hao and Liu Yueyi were both the same, Gu Shuixiu had to shrugge, and she could not help but leave the kitchen, and continued back to the main hall to listen to Uncle Qin's talk about the ancients.

As it was almost dark, Hao finally came in and shouted, "It's time to eat, you guys should clean up too, we can serve the food."

The Qin family is different from the Dong family. They have many families. They have to move out the big table when they eat and put it away after dinner, so as to save space in the main hall.

There is an open space next to the main hall. Usually, the main hall is eating, but it will not face the main door. Even if the tables and chairs are not collected, it will not hinder anything.
