After An Zihao's incident was over, everyone got busy again step by step. An Zihao only did not go to work on the day of the wedding, and started working normally from the next day.
Xia Qiyue still had to run back and forth between the courtyard and the village every day. When she found time, she had to draw the design of the children's paradise. After drawing the amusement facilities, she had to find a carpenter to make them and buy wood. She was very busy at the time.
.
The weather was getting warmer and it was no longer possible to wear cotton-padded jackets. Xia Qiyue put the children into the jackets they had bought just after escaping from the famine. It turned out that after only five months, the clothes had become a little smaller.
"Okay, I'll take you to buy clothes today!" She originally planned to go find Carpenter Gao today, because the carousel horse could be started and the drawings were drawn, so she asked Carpenter Gao if he could do it, but suddenly
I changed the children's clothes early in the morning and found that the clothes were too small.
In the past ten days or so, my sister's mood has stabilized. She no longer has so many worries all day long, and she seems to have let go.
"Sister, why don't you buy some cloth? I'll make it for them. It's cheaper this way!"
Xia Qiyue knew that Xia Jiuyue was good at her craftsmanship, but she had more important things to do than making clothes.
"Let's buy ready-made clothes. You have more important work. I'll leave it to you to embroider screens for our new home! Also, make a few more quilts!"
Compared with ready-made clothes, it is more expensive to buy ready-made quilts.
Xia Qiyue's assets have just exceeded 10,000 taels now, so she has to save money, otherwise she won't have enough money.
Now that she has a pig house, a cowshed, and a chicken coop, she doesn't want to go to the lottery anymore. Money is the most secure thing to hold in your hands.
"Okay, it just so happens that I have nothing to do all day and am bored!" Xia Jiuyue agreed.
After the weather gets warmer, the children will run outside during the day. When candy is not sold, there is no time for outsiders in the courtyard. The three children will not stay in the house, but there will not be too much danger, so in summer
September is free.
Embroidering screens and sewing quilts were just a way to pass the time, and they were her favorite things to do. Xia Jiuyue readily agreed.
The two sisters took the three children to a cloth store to buy fabrics for bedding, and then went to a clothing store to buy a set of ready-made clothes for the three little ones. The two sisters' clothes were light green, and Xuan'er liked navy blue.
So I bought him navy blue, an energetic color.
After buying things, Xia Qiyue wanted to send her back to the small courtyard and then go to Baijia Village to find Gao Carpenter, but Ke'er pestered her and asked her to take them to eat wontons at the roadside wonton restaurant.
Xia Qiyue realized that although she had made many delicacies for them to eat, she had not yet made wontons, so she agreed.
The weather is getting warmer, so it’s not too cold to sit outside and eat a bowl of wontons. In fact, I just finished breakfast not long ago and I’m not hungry yet, so I only ordered three bowls of wontons. The sisters are not hungry, plus they have three children.
You can't finish it at all to avoid wasting it.
But when the wontons arrived, the little guy ate the entire bowl of wontons without leaving a single one...
After eating, my stomach felt bulging and uncomfortable, and I couldn't bend down at all. Xia Qiyue tried to stop him, but he couldn't stop it at all.
We had no choice but to take the three little guys to buy some sour fruits to aid digestion. What should we do? We ate too much, so the five of us walked slowly along the street and went home to eat.
When I was approaching the alley entrance of the small courtyard, I saw five or six people in front of me beating someone, but that person was surrounded in the middle, holding his head and hiding.
"Mother..." Ling'er was the first to show a scared look and hid behind Xia Qiyue, but Ke'er, on the contrary, stretched her neck and looked forward. If Xia Qiyue hadn't pulled hard, she might have
Take a few steps forward.
"Sister, what should we do? They are blocking the alley and we can't go back!" Xia Jiuyue was the second scared person after Ling'er. Her face was pale and she was trembling when she spoke.
"Wait a minute..." Xia Qiyue has three children and her younger sister. Even if she wants to help, it is unlikely that she will come forward to help. In addition, her force level is not that high. If she doesn't wait, what can she do?
"Sister, why don't we leave first!" Xia Yueyue pulled Xia Qiyue's arm and asked her to wait here. She was scared, even though she was far away, she was still scared.
"It's over!" But at this moment, Xuan'er said three words calmly and pointed to the front to tell them.
Xia Jiuyue looked over quickly, "Still...still fighting!"
Xia Qiyue slowly said, "The one who was beaten has fainted!" He told his sister, then turned around and touched his son's head, "Xuan'er's eyes are so good, you can see from such a distance that the one who was beaten has fainted!"
Xuan'er shook her head, "He didn't faint. Didn't mother see that he was still moving?"
Xia Qiyue didn't believe it and looked over again.
"Mom, the one who was beaten is still moving, but his feet are moving, move slowly!" Ke'er told Xia Qiyue on the side.
What's going on? Are these two little devils so observant at such a young age?
Xia Qiyue went to identify them carefully, but at this time, the five or six people who were beaten had stopped, and next to them, there was a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes.
Holding a folding fan with one hand behind his back, he looked like a wealthy man.
They were talking, but they were some distance away. Xia Qiyue and the others couldn't hear what they were saying. They saw the man squatting in the middle being beaten slowly stand up. The moment he raised his head, Xia Qiyue's eyes widened.
Eye.
"It's him?"
Xia Jiuyue subconsciously called out the other person's name, "Brother Lin Erlang..."
That's right, the one who was being beaten was Lin Jianxin, the bamboo horse whom Xia Qiyue met on the road not long ago. Lin Erlang, who has now been admitted as a scholar and works as a cashier in a restaurant, is undoubtedly Lin Jianxin.
"Isn't he working as a cashier? Why is he here?" Xia Qiyue asked herself softly.
You know, there are no restaurants near the small courtyard they rented, and at most they are just wonton stalls on the roadside.
"Eldest sister? Have you met Brother Erlang?" Xia Jiuyue asked her eldest sister suspiciously.
"I saw you not long ago, let's go and have a look!" Xia Qiyue led the children forward. Since they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, they couldn't avoid each other if they encountered each other and were in trouble.
They heard the sound as they got closer. The gentleman who appeared behind him was a customer in the restaurant where Lin Jianxin worked. They had some conflict with him in the restaurant, and today they blocked the street and beat him up to vent their anger.
As a scholar, he ended up working in a restaurant and being chased and beaten in the street. It was really miserable.
"You brat, if you don't pay back our master's jade ring today, we will beat you to death!"
One of the thugs had a young man who threatened him fiercely.
"Young man is really out of money. I have compensated you for all the money I have. The accountant has lost his job. I really can't compensate you!"
Lin Jianxin was a little frightened. The gentle and generous temperament he had when he met Xia Qiyue not long ago no longer existed. What was left was only a tone of pain, fear and pleading.
