Chapter 42：

After parting ways with Yang Qin, Qin Lingling took the vegetable basket back to the mountain as soon as she arrived home, and Gu Yao quickly followed with the basket.

Since Gu Yao refuted Li Dani and said that she should study more knowledge, she has become more courageous. In addition to going to work, she also helps with housework when she goes home, leaving more to her stepmother and sister Gu Chunhua.

Although Qin Lingling always said that she hadn't done enough and should leave the household chores to their idlers, she finally took a big step in her life.

No, when she was about to leave with the basket, Li Dani hurriedly took her hand, "Where to go? When I came back, I didn't listen to it, right? Where should I go all day?"

Since Gu Yao said that she wanted to study, she didn't care much about her family's work. Aunt Li was at a loss for her right and left. She had to scold someone when she found an opportunity.

It happened that Qin Lingling’s woman went to school to teach recently. No, after teaching, Gu Dashun thinks it’s better to study. Now that you have knowledge in reading, you don’t have to roll around in the fields all day. Maybe the girl can go to school if she can study well. Teaching.

Bah, I think so beautiful!

"I went to the mountains with my sister-in-law." Gu Yao pointed in the direction of the back mountain.

"I don't know the way, I won't go, and you can't take it with me?" Li Dani became angry recently.

This newly married daughter-in-law didn't have a good face to her, and now this stepdaughter is also like this, because of her resistance, she has to do a lot of work recently, but she is angry to death.

But Gu Yao didn’t care how she was angry, she broke free of her hand, and said, “Don’t want to let me work all day, and you don’t do anything. My sister-in-law hasn’t been at home for a long time. I don’t know how to walk on the mountain road. What happened to it?"

After Gu Yao finished speaking, she hurried away, but smoked Li Dani’s angry nostrils, "The reverse, the reverse, is it still fair?"

Looking at the flat field outside, Li Dani went out angrily to find Gu Dashun, no matter what, she must talk to him.

Qin Lingling naturally heard the conversation between Gu Yao and her stepmother. She waited behind the house before seeing Gu Yao follow.

"Auntie Dani didn't say anything?" Qin Lingling asked.

"It's okay, I'm used to her, and she never sees me taking a leisurely moment, ignore her."

Seeing that she is more comfortable with Li Dani now, Qin Lingling boasted: "You have done a good job, and you should show these auras in the future. People are always looking for soft persimmons. The softer you are, the more they pinch. You will resist, in the future. They dare not bully you casually, you know?"

"Well, sister-in-law, I remember everything, what you and my brother said, I will listen, I will study hard."

"that's OK."

"Sister-in-law, what are we going to do in the mountains?" Gu Yao stretched out her head and looked at the basket in her hand.

She actually doesn't know what her sister-in-law is going to do? Just subconsciously follow up and take a look.

"I went to pick some wild peppers. Last time I passed by here, I saw a lot of small wild peppers. I want to pick some to make chili sauce while the sun hasn't set yet."

After coming here, her most coveted thing is peppers. A few days ago, she saw many small red spots in the mountains from afar. Gu Yao said it was peppers, so today she had time to come and look for them.

Gu Yao thinks about it, there are a lot of wild peppers in this mountain, just curious, "Sister-in-law, there are a lot of wild peppers, but they are too spicy to eat. We don’t eat peppers here. People in the north love them. spicy."

No one eats spicy in these places. Things like pepper and pepper will not be patronized even if they grow in the mountains. Only a few of them will use the roots of wild sansho pepper as a tobacco rod, and other uses are of no use.

Qin Lingling also knows this. Like people here, they rarely touch peppers in this era, at most they touch peppers and the like. The place where she used to stay was also a small southern city. Older people don't eat spicy food, only young people love the spicy taste.

And she is especially spicy, and she has a strong ability to adapt to spicy. It can be said that since she was exposed to hot peppers, she almost wanted to add some hot pepper sauce.

A person’s life is simple, sometimes she cooks, and more often orders, which is convenient and quick, so basically every meal will have a dish with chili stir-fried.

She explained to Gu Yao: "It's not just people in the north who love to eat chili. It is also eaten in many places in the south. We don't eat it here because we haven't tried it much. You will know what it tastes like when you try it."

"Oh."

Gu Yao seemed to understand, but he couldn't imagine how to make something so spicy anyway? But my sister-in-law liked it, so she helped pick it.

There are many small peppers in the mountains. This crop has a strong growth ability. In addition, the output of the small peppers is also abundant. There are several wild mountain peppers in a small area.

Qin Lingling took the basket and carefully picked the wild pepper. Although the particles were small, they were better.

When Gu Yao saw this, she couldn't help asking: "Sister-in-law, is picking peppers so tricky?"

"It won't be tough if you don't break it open."

"That's good, I'll pick it for you too. I'm the hottest. I was hot with chili when I was a kid. I didn't dare to come close when I saw these things."

Qin Lingling smiled, "In that case, you might as well pick the young leaves of peppers. Don't pick peppers. Leave the peppers to me."

"Ah? Why? The leaves of peppers are also useful?"

Qin Lingling nodded, "The young leaves of chili are fresh in the soup. I just bought tofu. I can soak some of it at that time."

Gu Yao didn't know this at all, and was surprised and curious, but still obediently helped.

It was getting dark, so Qin Lingling's movements accelerated a lot.

But Gu Yao, who was quietly picking leaves, suddenly looked up at her and asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, have you read my brother's letter?"

Qin Lingling looked at her and saw her look good, and replied helplessly: "No, didn't you come here as soon as you came back? By the way, you are a little girl, why are you so gossip?"

"Hey, don't I care about you? What kind of gossip is this?"

"Not yet, how many times have you caught me asking about your brother in a day?"

Qin Lingling thought about it. Fortunately, she has a thick-skinned face and listened to her a lot. Now she is immune, otherwise there is no way to answer calmly?

But Gu Yao didn't let her go, stopped, and curiously said: "Then...sister-in-law, can you tell me how you and my brother met? How did you decide to get married?"

Qin Lingling paused again and said indiscriminately: "That's how I knew it."

"That's how you met? How did you meet."

"Anyway, the two got to know each other, then they met, and then they got married, what else?"

"Uh... Sister-in-law, what you said is too simple, I want to hear more in detail, I am curious. You don't know my brother, don't look at the person who is tall, but usually speaking very little, he looks like a girl I like it, but he doesn’t talk a lot. Girls don’t talk to him when they look for him. They dare to ask if they can deal with him. My brother replied “No”. So I can’t imagine how my brother and you are. I met and got married?"

In Gu Yao’s cognition of her brother, she felt that although her brother was so good, he was even good at being a woman, but he was a guy who didn’t know a lot of style and style. Anyway, she didn’t see any girl he talked to actively. Yes, even when facing family members, I don’t talk too much.

"Uh... it's probably our fate. How can we tell the fate?"

Of course Qin Lingling would not tell Gu Yao that this was a measure that the original owner and her brother had discussed, which would be beneficial to both parties.

To outsiders, the two fell in love and got married naturally, but they all knew that there was no love, not to mention that she was not the original Qin Lingling.

Qin Lingling went over this topic indiscriminately. The two aunts carefully picked the chilli pepper leaves, and it was dark too.

The tofu that Qin Lingling bought was soaked in water. After returning, she started to cook in the hot pot.

After becoming a teacher, this allowance is much better than being an educated youth on a farm.

Before school, Qin Lingling asked people to simply build a kitchen, and then made a bathroom with cloth and bamboo, so as not to compete with the people next door for a bathroom.

It’s been two months now, and the kitchen and bathroom are a little better. There was a leak before, but now it’s basically not leaking. However, in winter, the house will probably feel cold, so she has started to save more money recently. Better handling unless and the bathroom. .

Gu Yao gathered wood and burned her hands. This scene naturally made Li Dani criticize Sang and Huai displeased after seeing it, saying that Qin Lingling would call people, saying that Gu Yao was not good. By the way, Gu Dashun, who has not yet returned home, is Lao Tzu was even scared of his sons and daughters.

Gu Chunhua watched the fire in the small kitchen next door from afar, and said sourly, "Sister, our family didn’t do a lot of work. You are embarrassed to be here? Qin... Sister-in-law is sharing with us. Home."

Gu Yao didn't lift her head, and said, "If you don't go to work during the day, you can't go home to work? Even though my sister-in-law has separated from us, it is also a family. What happened to me helping?"

"you……"

"What's wrong with me? I used to do a lot of work, but now it's your turn to do a little bit of temper?"

There is a sister-in-law next to her, plus this is Gu Chunhua and not the stepmother of Aunt Li, so Gu Yao is naturally not afraid of her.

Qin Lingling listened to the side, but didn't interrupt. My sister-in-law has made a lot of progress recently, and her ability to face straight people is getting better and better.

Gu Chunhua replied, not only that she couldn’t move her eldest sister to go home to work, but she was so angry that she stomped and left. When she left, she also responded to Gu Yao, “I’m your kiss anyway. Sister, this eldest brother is not our father's own. You can help them, but don't help out a white-eyed wolf when the time comes. There will be times when we cry."

Gu Yao doesn’t like to hear people say that her eldest brother is not his own, and will be distracted. She immediately stood up and rushed back angrily, “We are dear, but you never regard me as your sister. , Even if the eldest brother is not his biological brother, he is much better than you. I don’t need you to teach me how to be a man."

In her opinion, the eldest brother is more biological than his own.

Gu Chunhua flushed with anger, and pointed to Gu Yao, "You...I tell my mother to go, huh!"

"Then you will sue and let me hear you say this next time and see if I don't hit you?"

"you dare!"

Gu Chunhua ran back again angrily, standing in front of Gu Yao, with a pungent vigor that wanted to hit someone, just like her mother Li Dani.

But before she could do it, Qin Lingling grabbed the hand, and the other party stopped in front of Gu Yao, "What do you want to do?"

"you……"

"Come into my house and want to make trouble? Gu Chunhua, who gave you the courage?"

"I……"

"Can you pay for breaking my house? If you can, you can give me a lot of trouble."

Qin Lingling interrupted her in the coming year. Gu Chunhua couldn't get up or down with this choking breath. In the end, she could only clamp her tail and curse, "I will let my mother clean you up later." hurriedly left. .

Qin Lingling looked at her back and smiled: "I'm waiting for you to call her over."

The author has something to say: Thank you: twinkle threw a mine, I love you.
