Fang Qingshi didn't care where the Li family went. After throwing out the spice hook, he just waited for Li Jingrui to take the bait.
Once again, Fang Qingshi did everything with ease. After reviewing the family affairs, she prepared gifts and returned to Kaoshan Village.
Fang Qinghe has not shown up for many days. You don't need to guess to know that he must be concentrating on the study of fragrance.
At the foot of the mountain, Fang Qingshi went to see Hua Erniang. She should have saved a lot of honey in one spring. She wanted to divide the honey into three parts, and Qingwa Village had to send one part to her.
Hua Erniang sat in the yard every day and watched the road down the mountain.
She was waiting for Fang Qingshi. After seeing Fang Qingshi last time, she went to live in the village for a few days. The Fang family had changed so much. The children who grew up under her nose must have been enlightened by this girl A Shi.
.
Someone came to order honey, and Hua Erniang accepted it. People of her age did not value gold and silver, and she felt happy that she could help her children establish a career.
"Second Grandma." Fang Qingshi came over carrying a heavy basket of medicine, and the sun shone on her face. Climbing mountains is strenuous work, and even though she was used to it, her face was still flushed with heat.
Hua Erniang smiled and put out the cigarette pouch in her hand, bent down and pulled the small bench next to her and placed it next to her: "Are you very busy girl?"
"Isn't that right? Otherwise, I would have come to see you a long time ago." Fang Qingshi took off the medicine basket and took out two packages of pastries and a small jar: "Luwu County's pastries from Juxiangzhai, you always try them
How does it taste?"
Hua Erniang frowned: "You kid! What are you doing with that money? It doesn't matter if you eat more or less, but the money is gone as soon as you let go."
"That's what Second Grandma taught me." Fang Qingshi put the jar next to her: "Here is a plaster to treat cold symptoms of muscles and bones. You can always use it. Summer medicine can remove the root cause of cold symptoms."
Hua Erniang rubbed her legs: "Ah Shi, my second grandma has something to ask."
"Well, you ask." Fang Qingshi took out the water bag from his backpack and drank several sips.
Hua Erniang thought about it for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "You and the boy from the Li family are not a real couple, are you?"
"Pfft!" Fang Qing squirted out a mouthful of water before he could swallow it. He choked and burst into tears. He coughed several times, wiped his tears and looked at Hua Erniang: "Second Grandma, how did you know?"
Hua Erniang's brows knitted into knots: "Never mind how I know, Second Mistress asked you, since we are not a real couple, why do you still keep guard?"
"Second Grandma, even if the marriage is not consummated, the status is here. Our girl from the Fang family has to keep her filial piety for three years. The people in the old Li family are not good. They would rather offend a gentleman than a villain." Fang Qingshi wiped the corner of her mouth:
"It won't stop me from eating and drinking, and it won't stop me from making money. Even if I have to be called a widow later, it won't be a problem. We have a business in hand, and we can live a comfortable life."
Hua Erniang let out a breath: "This scholar has too many crooked intestines. I have heard about the Li family's bad intentions. If I look back carefully and grasp the handle, I will step on it to death. The villain can best show off his power when he is in power. Don't be soft.
There are nine out of ten evil mothers-in-law in the world, let’s be an evil daughter-in-law!”
Fang Qingshi laughed out loud: "Second Grandma, I keep my heart in my heart. I am not a bully."
Hua Erniang nodded: "The honey in spring is of good quality, so I'll keep it for you."
"It just so happened that I brought the money here today. My second wife and I are close relatives and have a lot of money. I also asked about the price in Luwu County..."
Before Fang Qingshi could finish his words, Hua Erniang threw the snacks back into Fang Qingshi's basket: "Who will do business with you? If you want to do business, just take back everything you brought!"
Hua Erniang glared at Fang Qingshi: "I want to go back to live in the village. These beehives have been with me all my life. I have to find a good owner for them."
"It's just the right time for the second grandma to go back to the village. It's not easy for a little girl in Qinghe to support a family. Can you go over and help Ah Shi take care of her?" Fang Qingshi suddenly understood what Hua Erniang was thinking. She has no children.
If you want to have something to rely on when you grow old, and you can get these beehives, there are many places where honey is used in perfumery. This is a good thing that is mutually beneficial.
Seeing that Fang Qingshi was transparent, Hua Erniang smiled and said, "Well, the pension money is enough. When I die, I don't have to worry about anything. Just bury me on the hillside next to the beehive. It's okay."
It's your three brothers and sisters' fault to worry about, and no one else can trust me."
"Then let's go home?" Fang Qingshi is a person who doesn't mess around.
Hua Erniang shook her head: "It can't be done now. I have to take good care of it this year. I will keep the honey for you. Take as much as you need. We are gentlemen. If you can trust me, I can trust you."
Fang Qingshi no longer had the strength to lament that she was blind in her previous life, so she happily nodded in agreement.
In her last life, she only heard that Hua Erniang died here, and she only focused on living the life of the Li family. Her eldest brother was gone, her younger sister was lost, and she never came back to Kaoshan Village. In this life, she really saw what happened in Kaoshan Village.
The neighbors are kind-hearted and they really look after the three brothers and sisters.
After sitting here with Hua Erniang for a long time, Hua Erniang chased people away: "Go back quickly, you have to go back as soon as you can rest."
When Fang Qingshi returned home, as expected, the younger sister had lost weight, her body smelled of various herbs, and she looked much more haggard.
"If I don't come back and take a look, are you planning to tire yourself to death?" Fang Qingshi took Fang Qinghe to wash up and rolled her eyes angrily.
Fang Qinghe said seriously: "Sister, I have eaten well and will not die from exhaustion."
"I won't beat you for a while!" Fang Qingshi carried a bucket of water to the kitchen to boil hot water for her sister to take a bath. Speaking of which, Qinghe was really young, and it was really hard to have no one to take care of her. She turned around.
When you bring your second grandma to live with you, you can't let the old man take care of her.
If you hire a cook and two maids in a dental shop, it will cost around twenty taels. The maids are cheaper, three to five taels of silver, and the cook who may work on the stove will also cost ten taels of silver regardless of her appearance.
Generally, wealthy families select their cooks very carefully. They don't have to be good-looking, but their cooking skills generally only need to be improved. The price of a cook who is good at cooking and good-looking is not low.
To have such a person for her family, Fang Qingshi lamented that she had to rely on fate. It was not because she felt sorry for the money, but because it was so difficult to find the right person.
Fang Qinghe went to take a bath, while Fang Qingshi made lunch. People like Xie Yuru came here in the evening, picking herbs in the dark, and tending crops and going to the mountains to collect herbs during the day.
"Sister, I'll be happy when you come back." Fang Qinghe came over to light the fire with a smile.
Fang Qingshi turned over the pancake in the pot and said, "Qinghe, I want to take my second grandma home to take care of her in her old age. Do you think that's okay?"
"What?" Fang Qinghe's eyes widened: "Sister, are you talking about the second grandmother who keeps bees?"
