Chapter 437 Compensation
[Recite the URL three times silently. Do you remember it? If not, I will ask again in the next chapter. It would be best if you can share it on Facebook.]
Qing Xing returned to the yard, still a little angry.
After waiting for a long time on the street, the food she bought was gone. There was nothing to eat.
She was very angry.
"Look at your failure. Is there less food for you in the mansion? Or is it that your brother-in-law's place doesn't allow you to eat good food? You are thinking about the food outside."
"Sister, you don't understand. That's the taste of childhood."
When I was a child, I couldn't eat meat at all in the hands of my grandmother. I followed my sister to Fengting Town and suddenly ate meat. I ate fresh salt-baked chicken that I had never eaten before, just like fine wine.
That taste has been gone for so many years, but I still can't forget it.
After so many years, I suddenly ate it again. Of course I miss it.
"No matter how delicious it is, you have eaten it so many times, you still don't get tired of it?"
"No. My brother is coming back from outside today, so I bought it for him. Humph, it's all that guy's fault. Sister, who is he?"
After listening to her description, Su Qing'an said with certainty: "Oh, it's Pei Zhi. He is the grandson of Governor Pei."
"Grandson of Governor Pei? There is a back court to live in, why does he live in our house?"
"He is old and young, with only an old slave and a few followers around him. How can it be convenient to live in our house?"
"Then he is a governor, and he can't afford servants?"
"He can buy them, but you can't see that he is busy every day, so how can he have the time to take care of the housework. Maybe someone will help take care of the backyard affairs when his grandson marries his granddaughter-in-law."
She briefly talked about the relationship between him and his grandson.
After speaking, she paused and glanced at Qingxing.
Qingxing was still tilting his head thinking about the young man who knocked over his salt-baked chicken. It turned out that his name was Pei Zhi.
So miserable, such a pitiful life.
Fortunately, he had a grandfather, otherwise he would live alone in this world, without relatives or friends, how boring it would be.
The next day, Pei Zhi also found out that the girl who bumped into him yesterday was his wife's sister.
He took a salt-baked chicken bought on the street, wrapped it carefully and took it back to the mansion, and found Qingxing.
"Here, compensation for you."
Qingxing knew his identity and felt a little embarrassed for his rudeness yesterday.
She refused: "You don't have to compensate me. I didn't look at the road yesterday and bumped into you. Your things are not damaged, right?"
"No, just some books and materials, nothing."
"I'm glad you're fine."
Pei Zhi was a little at a loss when he saw that she didn't take it. It was the first time he faced a girl of the same age, and he had never talked to a girl alone.
"You, you take it, you've already bought it." He didn't dare to look at the other party.
"No need to pay. Your grandfather helped my brother-in-law manage Xuzhou so well and helped him a lot. My brother-in-law and my sister are very grateful to him. I can't take your things. I was joking yesterday."
"That's what my grandfather should do as a governor. We also want to thank your sister and brother-in-law for giving us a place to stay and entrusting my grandfather with important tasks. We are grateful."
He handed over the tightly wrapped chicken: "Take it, you have bought it. I was reckless yesterday."
"I don't want it. Take it back and eat it with your grandfather."
"My grandfather doesn't like this."
"Then you keep it for yourself."
"I, I can't finish it by myself."
Qing Xing thought about it. She didn't look at the road yesterday, bumped into someone, and took someone else's chicken. It seemed a bit bad.
Looked at him carefully and said, "Come with me."
Huh?
Pei Zhi didn't understand. But seeing that the other party had turned around and walked forward, he thought about it and followed him.
Qingxing took him to a flower hall and asked the servant to bring a knife and a plate.
"Since you've already bought it, it's not good for me not to accept it. You can't eat a whole one, so let's have half each." After saying that, she quickly disassembled the chicken in front of Pei Zhi.
Pei Zhi stared blankly at the girl in front of him. When had he ever seen such a girl?
Such... well, casual in front of him? In three or two moves, very quickly, in front of a young man, she disassembled a chicken, and her hands were full of oil.
The tender white fingers moved quickly and were very flexible. In a short while, the meat was divided into two parts.
Although the hands were stained with oil, they looked pretty good. The joints were distinct, slender, and white.
Pei Zhi's face suddenly turned red.
"Here, this one is yours, and the other one is your compensation to me. One for each person. You have a wing and a leg, and I also have a wing and a chicken thigh. Is it fair?"
Pei Zhi didn't dare to raise his head. He just stared at the girl's fingers, which was too reckless.
He didn't dare to raise his head and replied, "Yeah."
"Okay, I'll take this one and go. Thank you for the chicken." Qingxing held the chicken on the plate, jumped over him and left directly.
Pei Zhi stared at her back blankly, then looked at the remaining half of the chicken, his expression was a little dazed.
At the end of July, good news came from all over Zhenhai. The rice waves in the fields were rolling, the weather was good, and there were no diseases and insect pests. I believe that in a short time, all places will be able to usher in a bumper harvest.
Su Qingmei is finally going to give birth to her second child.
It started early, and the pain has been intermittent for a day and a night, but there is still no sign of the baby coming out.
Lu Bocheng was so anxious that he walked around the room dozens of times. The floor tiles were not worn thin, but the soles of his shoes were almost worn out.
Seeing Su Qing'an in so much pain that she couldn't lie down or sit, she leaned on the table, bent over, gasping for breath, with big beads of sweat on her forehead, she was anxious.
"Why is this child torturing me so much! When will he come out?" Lv Bocheng wanted to reach in and take him out, seeing how his mother was tormented.
Lv Bocheng felt so distressed that he wanted to suffer for Su Qing'an.
The weather was hot, Su Qing'an was in pain, and the child didn't come out, so she was very irritable.
Seeing Lv Bocheng walking around and nagging, she was even more annoyed.
She grabbed something from the table and threw it at him: "Be quiet. Your nagging gives me a headache."
Lv Bocheng immediately stopped talking.
He came over and supported her: "My wife, don't be afraid, your husband is here. Your husband will walk with you for a few more laps, and maybe he will come out."
This child is so tough, it must be another son.
When he comes out, I will definitely give him a good beating to vent my anger for torturing his own mother.
In the courtyard, the doctors and nurses were all on standby, and they had been living in the mansion half a month ago. Lu Bocheng was afraid that something might happen to her, or that the baby would come out early. He recruited them early.
He carefully selected several wet nurses, and in the end Su Qingmei only kept two.
Guo, Tian, Qingxing and a group of maids and women were also waiting in the courtyard, making various preparations.
The delivery room was also prepared early, and everything needed for delivery was complete. Nothing was left out, including the baby's swaddle, clothes, diapers, etc.
It was not until the afternoon when the heat dissipated a little that Su Qingmei felt that she was really going to give birth this time.
Everyone hurriedly helped her into the delivery room.
I thought it would take a long time, but unexpectedly, the baby was born in less than two quarters of an hour.
