The young farmer happened to be Li Qingshu, and he immediately laughed heartily. “Of course I know where Sanfu’s house is. Go straight from here. At the end, the only brick house in our village is his family. Where are you from? Why are you looking for Sanfu? He isn’t at home right now. He’s been in the army for quite some time.”
This person used the same story to deceive Li Qingshu.
Li Qingshu smiled. “Then you’ve really wasted your trip. He’s definitely not here. Let’s go. I’ll take you there. You can go to his house and have a drink before leaving.”
“Thank you.” the man said politely. He wasn’t afraid of going to Xue Sanfu’s house at all.
No one here knew him, and Xue Sanfu was not at home.
Moreover, he was just a farmer. What was there to be afraid of?
He just wanted to know more about this man so that he could report back.
“What’s there to thank me for?” Li Qingshu smiled as he led the man forward. Not long after, they passed by Xue Erfu’s old house. Xue Yifu was inside, saw-cutting wood. He immediately rushed inside and said, “Yifu, you have a guest. It’s the younger brother of the person who used to work with Sanfu in town. That person has a job again and wants to see if Sanfu can do it. Apparently, he didn’t know that Sanfu went to join the army and no longer works for others.”
Xue Yifu immediately put down the saw and wood and hurried out of the old house. He smiled foolishly and said, “Thank you for thinking about Sanfu when you have work to do.”
“It’s nothing. I heard Sanfu did a good job.” The man laughed.
“Then Yifu, you should go and take care of the guests. I’ll be heading out.” Li Qingshu smiled. He still had things to do.
“Okay.” Xue Yifu agreed. Seeing that Li Qingshu had left, he quickly led the man to his new house.
In the new house, Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, and Xue Erfu were not at home. After lunch, they went to the mountain to make rice noodles. They had been there for about an hour. In the front yard of the house, Li Hehua and Yu Hongyan were playing with Xue Shi while sunbathing and doing needlework.
There wasn’t much to do right now. Zicui and the others weren’t around. They were all at the back, talking to their master in the small house while doing some needlework.
Xue Liu was sitting under the sun at the door of the hut, reading the medical book Doctor Shen had given her, completely engrossed.
As soon as Xue Yifu brought this person back, he introduced him to Li Hehua and Yu Hongyan. Yu Hongyan quickly went to pour tea for him. Although there were no good tea leaves at home, it was better than nothing.
“Thank you.” This person sat in the main room and received a bowl of tea from Yu Hongyan, thanking her politely. Then, he looked around the central room and smiled. “I didn’t expect Sanfu’s family to be living so well. Even if he didn’t join the army, he shouldn’t have to work for others anymore.”
“There’s no need for that now.” Xue Yifu smiled foolishly. “There’s a lot of work to do at home now.”
“Here, please take a seat. I’ll go call my father and the others back now,” Li Hehua said with a smile. Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were also in the workshop.
Since there were guests, she was afraid that her husband would not be able to take care of them.
Her husband had always been quite clumsy with his words.
Moreover, she and Yu Hongyan were both women, so it was not appropriate for them to greet a man.
“There’s no need.” When this person heard this, he stood up and smiled. Although it was fine to call him back, he was now a guest. He still had to be careful in case he missed something and couldn’t find out what he wanted to know. “I was just here to find Sanfu. Now that he isn’t, I can go back and tell the news to my brother..”
