Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 120 Shen Hubiao is back

"But her father said to do it as soon as possible, the sooner the better, because he was afraid something unexpected would happen. If it happened again, she would never get married and would have to become a nun."

"It's better to marry her off sooner rather than later. No one will dare to talk about her behind her back. Because of what happened earlier, her father and I were embarrassed."

She thought about it carefully and decided that it would be better to do it as soon as possible, otherwise she would always be worried.

Wu Caifeng looked at them cheerfully and waved her hand: "You guys are busy, I'll go home and clean up, and I'll come and invite you guys when the date is set."

"to make."

"Okay Aunt Wu."

The two of them responded.

After she walked away, Lan Qiuhua shook her head and said, "Ruoyan is a poor child. Not long after those villagers came to make trouble, her father scolded her at home every day."

"He hanged himself one night. Luckily he was found in time, otherwise he would be dead."

Ji Wenhe turned his head in shock: "There is such a thing?"

"Well, she said it during a casual chat. Not many people know about it, so don't tell anyone."

She nodded.

Rumors can hurt people, and Shen Ruoyan managed to get through them, but in the end she couldn't survive the scolding from her family. Fortunately, she was fine.

"Hey, it looks like it's going to rain."

Lan Qiuhua looked up. It was sunny in the morning, but now the sky was gloomy.

"It's windy." Ji Wenhe looked at the leaves on the mountain that were shaking wildly in the wind. "It might rain. I have to go home and grab the quilt."

It looked like it was really going to rain, so I trotted home.

"Aunt Lan, when you catch the chicks, catch mine too."

"I understand. Go ahead."

Sometimes it rains without any warning, and there is no weather forecast here.

She had just returned home and brought the quilt into the house when light rain started falling outside.

Ji Wenhe didn't dare to delay, so he picked up the basket and hurried down the mountain to the wasteland: "Aunt Lan, the rain came as expected."

"Yes, catch him quickly."

Just as they reached the wasteland, the raindrops became heavier and heavier, and Lan Qiuhua drove the chicks towards her.

"If I had known I would not have washed my hair and taken a bath. I would have to wash it again after getting caught in the rain."

"That can't be helped. Go back and wash again. Don't get a fever."

When she carried the chicks back, her clothes were already half wet. She scattered them in the cage, poured some food into it, and started a fire to boil water.

I don't know what happened to the three brothers.

After taking a shower, she stood in the yard, wiping her hair, looking down the mountain.

The rain hasn't stopped yet. If the noodles haven't been sold out, they won't come back in the rain.

Listening to the cries of chickens and ducklings coming from the cage, I walked over and squatted down.

He smiled and said, "Eat well and grow up. When you grow up, lay eggs for me to sell. I will buy black flour and feed you."

Aunt Lan said that if you add some noodles to the dishes, they will enjoy the food more.

But it’s not possible right now, I have to feed the people first.

"When I have money in the future, I will feed you good food."

The head of the village said that the land deed would be ready in a few days, but I don’t know how many days it will take.

Once you have the title deed, you can start building the fence.

After drying my hair, I went into the house and saw half of the lean meat left in the bowl. I hesitated for a moment and decided not to cook it, so I decided to keep it for marinating the meat.

There is also a fish, which can be made into soup.

Ji Wenhe took out a clean bowl and mixed the dough, then poured in the wild vegetables and added a little salt.

He said to himself, "In order to save money, I used to buy groceries and cook for myself. Fortunately, I can cook, otherwise I would starve to death if I came here."

She has a strong taste for spicy food. If she wasn't considering the three brothers, she would put several chili peppers in every dish.

The food here is so natural, without any additives, but she misses cakes, ice cream and hot pot a little.

After finishing the meal, I went out and saw that the rain had stopped.

"He should be back."

Ji Wenhe went into the house, took out the red rope, and made a knot while waiting for them.

At around five o'clock, the three of them came back one after another.

"Sister-in-law, are my brother and Yuanshan back?" Shen Wenshan asked.

"No." He put down the net in his hand and walked over. "It suddenly rained in the afternoon. Did you get wet in the rain?"

"The goods were not soaked by the rain, don't worry, sister-in-law."

Seeing that the weather was not right, I ran to someone's eaves and waited for a while, then it started to rain.

"I'm not talking about face, I'm talking about your people, of course there are faces too."

Shen Wenshan smiled and shook his head: "No sister-in-law."

Ji Wenhe poured out three bowls of water from the earthenware jar. It was still hot and a little scalding: "Sit down and rest for a while. They will be back soon. The meal is ready. We can eat when they come back."

As he was speaking, Shen Yunshan came up carrying a basket.

"Sister-in-law, is my brother back?"

"Not yet. Wait a little longer. Have you been caught in the rain?"

"No, I hid under someone's eaves when I saw the raindrops falling. I didn't come back until the rain stopped."

Neither of them sold out their goods today.

Ji Wenhe brought him a bowl of water and after waiting for a while, Shen Rongshan also came back.

"Go wash your hands and eat."

The twins nodded.

"Wen He, we didn't sell any lean meat today. We only sold one and a half kilograms of pork belly. You should pickle all of it and only buy fatty pork to sell in the future."

He took out the pork belly and lean meat and handed them to her.

"Okay, I'll marinate the meat tomorrow and clean the jars. Go wash your hands first and get ready to eat."

At the dinner table, Shen Yuanshan, who was sitting opposite her, said, "Sister-in-law, we have only sold two bracelets. Fewer and fewer people are buying them."

Ji Wenhe had anticipated this: "I won't bring it with me next time. I'll take it to the market and sell it there."

The remaining twine is just right for making puppet hanging strings and can be threaded onto keys.

"By the way, Shen Ruoyan's marriage has been arranged, and Aunt Wu asked me to be her cook, and I agreed."

Shen Rongshan looked at her and asked, "Is it scheduled for this month?"

"It hasn't been decided yet. Her father wants to marry her off as soon as possible. I estimate it won't take a few days."

Once the marriage was settled, they discussed the wedding date, but she felt it was going too fast.

"Then you go. I won't go. I'll go out with them to sell goods."

Ji Wenhe took a bite of the cake and looked at him sideways: "Aunt Wu's family might ask you to help with something."

He thought for a moment and said, "We'll talk about it later."

If someone invites you, you have to go.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Guess who in the village has returned?"

Seeing that she was acting mysterious, the three men thought for a while and shook their heads. There were many people in the village who went to the town to work, so how could they guess who it was?

Ji Wenhe said calmly: "It's Shen Hubiao."

"He!" Shen Yuanshan's face was a little grim. "He hasn't been back for so long, I thought..."

When he met Shen Rongshan's eyes, he immediately shut up.

Shen Wenshan was a little curious: "He disappeared for so long, where could he go? He was running around outside, and he wasn't afraid of encountering thieves."

During the war, there were many people outside shouting slogans of looting and plundering money from passers-by.

Although it has been pacified now, it is not completely settled yet.
