After seeing off Xu Hongmi and Xiao Lingdang, the windy courtyard once again returned to its former tranquility, but Xu Hongdou seemed a little unaccustomed to this, and was too lazy to move, saying that he wanted to take care of himself since he had not slept well these days.
Make up for all the sleep.
Qin Hao pulled her out of the bed: "Okay, waking up means that you have had enough sleep. If you continue to sleep, your limbs will degenerate. Get up and have breakfast quickly, otherwise the noodles will be lumpy."
Xu Hongdou went to wash up with a resentful look on her face. After eating, she said she wanted to go back to catch up on her sleep, so Qin Hao took her to the B&B construction site.
After one and a half months of construction, the B&B has basically taken shape, and from the outside it looks like a B&B.
Xu Hongdou also got rid of her previous depression and began to work as a consultant to Qin Hao, such as what brand of bathroom ware should be used, and how to buy cost-effective OEM supplies for beds, chairs, and sofas.
"Are you even listening to what I'm saying? Why are you just giggling there?" Xu Hongdou turned around and glared at Qin Hao, saying dissatisfied.
Qin Hao spread his hands: "I'm laughing at you, you are becoming more and more like a boss lady."
"I'm sick." Xu Hongdou's pretty face turned red, and she walked out of the B&B after saying this.
Qin Hao hurriedly chased after him, but as soon as he left the door of the B&B, he saw Xie Zhiyao walking past in a hurry, so he asked curiously.
"Mr. Xie, what are you doing here?"
Xie Zhiyao kept walking and turned around and said, "Uncle Dechang has entered the hospital. I'll go take a look."
Xu Hongdou looked at Qin Hao with some confusion: "Who is Uncle Dechang?"
"He is Aunt Feng's husband. Alas, he is also a miserable man. Let's go over and see if we can be of any help."
Aunt Feng and his wife can definitely be regarded as a star-crossed couple in the drama. When they were young, they finally had a daughter. However, when their daughter went up the mountain to collect mushrooms, she had an accident and fell to her death. From then on, Aunt Feng continued to have a daughter.
I have never eaten mushrooms either.
Later, the son Xie Qiang was sentenced to prison because he came into contact with some young people in society and stole things from the factory to sell. The only concern of the old couple was this.
Two days ago, because of this incident, Aunt Feng had a falling out with Aunt Agui. Of course, these gossips were all told by Nana when she came back. It was as if Nana had become an unpaid reporter in Youfeng Xiaoyuan. She basically covered all the gossip in the village.
all know.
Qin Hao and Xu Hongdou came to the village health center and found Uncle Dechang lying on the hospital bed with a pale face and a hanging bottle on his hand. When Xie Zhiyao asked the doctor about his condition, the doctor told everyone that Uncle Dechang was suffering from chronic malnutrition.
The person who fainted might have been in danger of death if a villager hadn't happened to be passing by on a tricycle and brought him there in time. He would have been exposed to the sun for several hours.
While talking, Aunt Feng also came to the health center and threw herself in front of the hospital bed, tears streaming down her face.
"Honey, I'm sorry, I can't work anymore."
Aunt Feng couldn't help but shook her head and was already crying.
Upon seeing this, Qin Hao winked at Xie Zhiyao, and everyone withdrew, leaving the couple to talk quietly.
In the hall of the health center, Xie Zhiyao looked at the old couple in the ward and sighed.
"Xie Qiang and I grew up together. In order to give Xie Qiang a lighter sentence, Aunt Feng and his wife borrowed all the money they could and compensated the manufacturer, but in the end they were sentenced to ten years. Over the years
Although Aunt Feng had paid off her previous debt, she had been living frugally. At that time, the warehouse needed customer service. Aunt Feng couldn't type, so she spent more than a month just to get dozens of dollars more in salary.
I went to study, probably because I wanted to save the money for Xie Qiang to use."
Xu Hongdou's eyes turned red when she thought of her parents: "Parents really pay too much for their children."
Qin Hao patted Xu Hongdou's shoulder comfortingly: "Okay, don't get emotional. Let's think about what we can do to help Aunt Feng and the others."
"Aunt Feng is very polite and principled. If you give her money directly, she will definitely not accept it. Their plum harvest is about to be harvested recently. Uncle Dechang fell ill. Aunt Feng is not in good health and cannot do heavy work. She is not as good as us.
Get started and go help Aunt Feng and the others collect the plums." Xie Zhiyao suggested.
"Well, that's a good idea. We are idle anyway, so why not do something meaningful." Xu Hongdou agreed.
Qin Hao thought for a while: "We can also call Nana, Xiaochun, and Damai, especially Damai. She stays in the house all day, so we can bring her out to do some exercise."
"And Teacher Hu, before the bar closed down, he was teaching music in a kindergarten and had nothing to do. He even made himself quite depressed. We just want to give him a labor reform." Xu Hongdou rolled his eyes.
Xie Zhiyao laughed and scolded: "Why do I feel that you two are so well coordinated when it comes to scheming people?"
"This calls for people to do their best. If you don't know how to speak, don't speak."
"that is."
In the evening, while taking advantage of the cool weather, Qin Hao told everyone about the situation. Nana was the first to express her willingness to help, but Damai was a little hesitant. In fact, it was not that she didn't want to help, but she felt that she didn't know how to do anything.
It’s easy to be a disservice to others.
As for Hu Youyu, he was even less happy: "I, I won't go. After all, I am also engaged in art."
Qin Hao retorted angrily: "The great Hu artist, Mr. Wang Luobin, was deeply among the people before he wrote "The Girl of Dabancheng" "Lift Your Hijab" and "Lift Your Hijab" in that distant place. The source of art.
In life, if you are either sleeping in the house or singing in a bar all day long, how can you write good works?"
To be honest, Qin Hao didn't think highly of Hu Youyu. He was an artistic young man, but he didn't have any talent. He thought about falling in love all day long, but finally met a sister who was willing to be with him.
Well, he is timid again, and he doesn’t know what his sister likes about him.
Xu Hongdou quietly pulled Qin Hao's sleeve and said to Hu Youyu in order to have an extra labor force tomorrow.
"Mr. Hu, I think what Lao Qin said makes sense. If you want to create good works, you have to be close to life. Among other things, Wu Bai often walks around the streets of Taiwan Province with a camera to take pictures, and learned from
Inspiration."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hu Youyu scratched his head: "It seems to make sense."
"Okay, then it's such a happy decision." Xu Hongdou didn't give him any time to object and made the decision immediately.
"At seven o'clock tomorrow morning, everyone will gather in the yard. Let's finish the work early and call it a day."
Damai and Hu Youyu looked at each other, did they understand that they were arranged like this?
Suddenly, Damai woke up, and Hu Youyu was pulled out of bed.
After everyone had eaten the breakfast prepared by Qin Hao, Mr. Xie had already prepared two electric tricycles outside the door, and the group set off to the plum orchard.
The morning breeze blew across his face, and the air was filled with the smell of earth and grass. Even Hu Youyu, who had been resisting before, became energetic.
When they arrived at the plum orchard, Xie Zhiyao began to distribute equipment, and Qin Hao also took off his coat, revealing his tendons. This scene made the girls present's eyes go straight, and even Xie Zhiyao and Hu Youyu were secretly jealous.
Xie Zhiyao even joked: "Old Qin seems to be able to do hard work at first glance. How about leaving all the heavy work to him later."
As a result, the female compatriots headed by Xu Hongdou were unanimously despised.
"You and Teacher Hu are the only ones who have no body fat and should exercise more."
While they were joking, everyone started to work. There was actually no skill in picking plums, it was just about who had the quickest hands and feet. Although Qin Hao did not deliberately increase his speed to the extreme, based on his ability, he was still far ahead in picking plums.
The second ranked person is Xie Zhiyao. After all, he grew up in the countryside and is very good at these farm tasks. What everyone didn't expect was that the third ranked person was actually Nana. Although she is thin and small,
Yes, the speed of picking fruits is quite fast.
However, after the initial enthusiasm was consumed, mechanical picking not only stretched the physical strength, but also stretched everyone's patience.
Hu Youyu was the first to rub his waist and sit down on the ground, refusing to get up: "Oh, I said let's take a rest, my waist is almost broken."
Qin Hao saw that everyone's faces were showing signs of fatigue, so he didn't say anything and just continued what he was doing.
Xu Hongdou and the other lesbians gradually became exhausted and stopped what they were doing.
"Drink some water." Xu Hongdou drank some water, wiped the sweat from his face, and walked to Qin Hao.
"You should have a drink of water too."
Even Xu Hongdou herself didn't realize that the water glass she handed Qin Hao was the one she had just drank from.
Qin Hao didn't think much and took a big sip. He didn't look at Xu Hongdou until the voices of Damai and Nana came from behind him.
Xu Hongdou grabbed the water glass directly, glared at Damai and Nana who were making noises in shame and anger, and continued to work pretending as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to get busy, but the test also came. Compared with the breeze blowing in the morning, the sun began to become poisonous after ten o'clock, and soon everyone was wilted. Not only was efficiency
It slowed down, and people's will was also greatly tested. From time to time, some people stopped to rest.
The only ones without interruption were Qin Hao and Xie Zhiyao. Hu Youyu basically had to take a break every twenty minutes.
Finally, it was noon, and Aunt Baoping and Aunt Feng also brought meals.
Everyone was very hungry at this time. Although these meals were far from Qin Hao's skills, everyone looked like they were gobbling them down.
Aunt Feng was secretly moved when she saw a group of young people working so hard to help her. However, she was not a person who was good at words, so she could not express her gratitude when she came to her lips.
At this moment, Aunt Agui came riding an electric tricycle. From the looks of it, she must have just finished cleaning the courtyard and rushed over.
Aunt Agui pulled Aunt Feng aside and stuffed a red envelope for her, but Aunt Feng said nothing and refused to take it.
"Oh, we have been sisters for more than thirty years. You know that I have a bad mouth but a good heart. I just had a quick talk that day and didn't take your feelings into consideration. I apologize to you, but that's not the case.
Let me tell you, the money you borrowed for Xie Qiang has been repaid over the years, and the couple are still reluctant to eat and use it, why do you save so much money?"
"Take our family's Dayang Xiaoxi as an example. What will happen if I raise the children? None of them are around, and I know they are busy, so it's okay for us to go see them? In the end, it was also a matter of push and pull. I
Now I understand, the women here are unreliable, we still have to rely on ourselves, take good care of ourselves, and be in good health is the main business, no matter how much you give them, they will not appreciate you!"
Aunt Feng couldn't hold back her tears after hearing this, and she hugged Aunt Agui and cried: "Our family's situation is different from yours. Xie Qiang has been here for ten years, but he doesn't even know what kind of society has developed now. We
If you don't save more money for him, how will he live in the future?"
Xu Hongdou and Qin Hao were sitting under a plum tree and having lunch. Although they couldn't hear what Aunt Feng and Aunt Agui said, Xu Hongdou still envied the relationship between the two.
"A true friend cannot be scolded or beaten away. Those who leave you just after a few quarrels are not true friends."
Qin Hao was afraid that she would think of Chen Nanxing and be sad again, so he reached out and took Xu Hongdou's hand.
Xu Hongdou smiled and shook his head: "I'm fine. I'm very lucky to have a friend like Chen Nanxing. Although she only stayed in my life for a while, I still thank God for the gift. Many people can't touch it in their lifetime."
I am very lucky to have such friendship, aren't I?"
"Yes." Qin Hao nodded happily.
After a day of picking, all the plums from several acres of land were loaded into trucks and sent away. Amid Aunt Feng’s words of gratitude, Qin Hao directly picked up a bag of plums.
"Aunt Feng, I happen to be planning to make some plum wine. How about these plums being the reward for my labor today?"
Hearing what Qin Hao said, the other people also packed a small bag of plums. Upon seeing this, Aunt Feng asked everyone to pack more. Everyone also took the bags and left.
Qin Hao and his entourage returned to the windy courtyard following the afterglow of the setting sun.
Hu Youyu lay down directly on Master Ma's recliner: "I will sleep here today, and I will never get up no matter who calls me."
Damai nodded with deep understanding and threw himself onto the chair, looking like a quadriplegic.
Qin Hao was so happy that he started cooking without saying a word. When he smelled the aroma of the food, everyone who had been paralyzed from exhaustion also came to life one after another.
"Brother Hao, aren't you tired? You still have the energy to cook. I don't even have the energy to pick up the tachyon now." Damai sniffed.
Qin Hao laughed and scolded: "Don't eat it for a while."
Under the temptation of the food, everyone finally sat down at the dining table. Qin Hao saw that Xu Hongdou's hands were shaking, so he frequently served her food, which naturally received unanimous criticism from everyone.
After these days of baptism, Xu Hongdou became much thicker-skinned. She ignored everyone's teasing and accepted the food Qin Hao brought her.
After eating and drinking, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, but Xu Hongdou sat in the small courtyard and stared at the stars in the sky in a daze.
Qin Hao sat next to her and asked softly: "What are you looking for?"
Xu Hongdou took the initiative to rest her head on Qin Hao's shoulder and murmured: "Well, they say that after people leave this world, they will turn into stars. I guess Chen Nanxing should be the brightest one."
