She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

Chapter 300 Wen Wuyan Returns

"Dahua, but you are over there?" Gu Qingqing couldn't see who was holding the oil lamp, so she could only shout at the lamp.

A familiar voice was heard in the darkness, but it was not Dahua's.

"Qingqing, it's me."

"Wen Wuyan?" Gu Qingqing shouted in surprise. She stood up and wanted to run towards him. After taking a step, she suddenly stopped. She suppressed her excitement and said to Geng Chunhua anxiously, "Sister-in-law, the father of the child is here to pick me up. You don't have to send me off."

Geng Chunhua saw someone coming to pick her up, so she didn't insist. "Okay, you guys go back, I'll go back too."

"Yes, sister-in-law, please go back slowly. Thank you!" After Gu Qingqing said this, she ran towards Wen Wuyan.

On the other side, Wen Wuyan saw Qingqing and walked towards Gu Qingqing in a good mood.

It was dark, and Gu Qingqing didn't dare to run too fast. When she got close, she threw herself at Wen Wuyan like a moth to a flame. She looked up at the face she missed day and night, and her voice unconsciously carried the joy and coquettishness of a long-awaited reunion, "Why are you back? How did you come back? Why are you here?"

But when she touched the half-dried clothes on Wen Wuyan's back, she didn't even wait for Wen Wuyan to answer her three questions, and then she quietly blamed him, "Why are you sweating so much? You ran all the way back?"

The hand holding the oil lamp reached behind Gu Qingqing, and Wen Wuyan hugged the person in his arms, feeling extremely satisfied.

Then, Gu Qingqing felt the vibration of his chest. Just as she was about to study it, her ears rang with his voice, "The private school was over at noon today, and I was in a hurry to come back. When I arrived in town, it was already late, and I couldn't find a donkey cart, so I had to walk back. Maybe I was walking too fast and I was sweating. I happened to meet Daxin waiting for you at the intersection with an oil lamp, so I asked him to go back and I'll wait for you here."

Gu Qingqing touched the damp spot on her clothes. She couldn't help but feel distressed. She muttered, "Then why don't you find a place sheltered from the wind and stand there? You won't be afraid of hurting yourself if you are sweating and standing in the wind."

Gu Qingqing's little nagging was very useful to Wen Wuyan.

"I want to see you soon." Wen Wuyan said at last.

"Yeah, I missed you too, let's go home."

Talking about going home, Wen Wuyan was not in a hurry to loosen his arms around her, and Gu Qingqing was not in a hurry to leave his arms. Instead, she took advantage of the darkness of the night when there was no one around and hugged Wen Wuyan tightly, rubbing her face on his clothes, as if she wanted to transfer her scent to him.

At this moment, a gurgling sound interrupted the two people's conversation at an inopportune time.

Gu Qingqing chuckled after hearing the voice, raised her hand and patted Wen Wuyan on the back, "You haven't eaten yet? Let's go. I'll make you something delicious when we get home. You, you can buy two buns from town to fill your stomach next time. You can't treat your internal organs badly when you are in a hurry."

Gu Qingqing said this and reluctantly left his arms.

The two of them walked out of the village. Wen Wuyan was afraid that she would not walk steadily, so he held the oil lamp in one hand and put the other hand on her waist.

"Is everything going well at home while I'm away?"

"Good, everything is fine. All the crops in the fields have been planted, and the bamboo and paper mulberry trees on the mountain have all been transplanted. A few days ago, I asked Dong Ge and his men to dig a hole in the open space behind the house, and they will soon ferment the new bamboo. A few days ago, I went to the carpenter in Shangyang Village and ordered a set of tools for making paper."

"Yes. I heard from Daxin that you were going to the village chief's house, but do you need his help with something?"

"It's not a big deal. The pit dug behind the house is still occupying the village's land. I went to tell him about it. Also, I plan to raise two piglets, so I also need to build a pigpen not far behind the house."

"There's an open space over there. It's close to our house, so we can use it if we want. There's no need to go out of our way to ask the village chief for help." Wen Wuyan said with a smile after hearing her words.

Gu Qingqing nudged him lightly with her elbow and protested, "Do you really think I'm going there just to occupy the empty space?"

"Oh? That's why."

"I wanted to tell him that if someone wants to build something on the land over there in the future, just tell us and we can work together to buy the land around our house. If they want to build a house here, it'll be good because we'll have another neighbor. But if they want to raise pigs here, imagine how bad it will be in the summer, and we'll be in trouble."

Wen Wuyan couldn't hold back his laughter and laughed out loud, "People in the village raise pigs in their own backyards, not next to our house."

"Oh, this is just in case. If my family wasn't so poor now, I would have bought all the surroundings."

After buying a donkey some time ago, the family had 55 taels of silver left. During this period, Zhao Dong and his family were working at home, and she was generous in making food, so she bought a lot of grain during this period.

Adding to their salaries, and the money Wen Wuyan brought him when he went to study, and all the other miscellaneous expenses at home, at least eleven or twelve taels of silver were spent.

However, she also earned twenty taels of silver from Feng Zhijin these two times, and now she only has about sixty-three taels of silver at most.

Wen Wuyan's study is a bottomless pit, so she has to save money in advance, right?

So her plan was to use the land near her home first, and then pay for it when other situations arose.

"Qingqing, you're worrying too much." Wen Wuyan comforted her.

"Oh, oh, let's not talk about this. Did you know that Wen Youcai passed the exam to become a scholar?"

"know."

"How do you know... Well, you are in the county now, so I think the news would have reached your ears without you asking. Hey, you didn't come back just because of this, did you?"

"That's not the case. It just happened that the teacher gave us a holiday. Qingqing, look."

"what?"

"In front of the house!"

Gu Qingqing looked up, and when she saw the soft light coming from the doorstep, she giggled as her already upturned lips turned upward.

"Dad and Mom, are you back?" Dahua's voice rang out in the night.

"It sounds like my aunt's voice." Li Xin's voice rang out in the darkness.

"Dahua, it's us." Gu Qingqing said, and took the opportunity to tease Wen Wuyan, "Look, you're back, the children are waiting at the door to greet you."

When Wen Wuyan got home, the joyful voices of children in the yard never stopped.

Even Old Yang, who never went into the inner courtyard after dark, made an exception today and sat in the main hall talking silently with Wen.

Gu Qingqing didn’t know that Wen Wuyan would come back today, so she didn’t leave any meat stew for dinner. Fortunately, there were still some uncooked noodles.

Now in the kitchen, she asked Dahua to help light the fire. She took two eggs out of the can, added a little lard to the pan, and fried two poached eggs.

The eggs are not taken out of the pot, but water is added directly. This way the soup will be particularly fresh and fragrant.

I took advantage of this break to wash a handful of wild vegetables, and when the noodles were almost done, I put them in the pot. A bowl of fragrant fried egg noodles was ready.
