Chapter 232 Shen Guyan and his wife return to the village
Ji Wenhe straightened up and turned around to look. Liu Dali was pulling the donkey cart and Shen Guyan was sitting on it.
"You guys go first, and come to my house to talk later."
The two nodded.
She walked back with the sickle in her hand. She didn't know when they would go, so she decided to go home and wait.
The grass in the field was mowed again and again, and it grew again just half a month after being mowed. It grew better than the vegetables.
When weeds are thrown into the chicken coop, some of them are eaten by the chickens, while others are not.
Shen Yuanshan was the only one in the shed, sitting there quietly knitting.
"Yuanshan, Guyan and Dali will come to find us soon, you stay with Dali."
She wanted to talk to Shen Guyan alone.
He nodded: "Okay."
Not long after, Liu Dali and Shen Guyan came over and waved at her from afar.
Ji Wenhe stood up with a smile, and when they came closer, he said, "I thought it would take you a long time to get here."
Her complexion was better and her cheeks were plump.
"Sister-in-law, let's go home and talk." He took her arm and walked up the mountain, saying in a light tone, "There's nothing to talk about."
"When I got home, grandma was only concerned about what gifts we had given her, and mom pulled me aside and asked me why I hadn't paid her back yet."
"Is it because I can't have children? Let me go see a doctor and ask him to give birth to a big fat boy for Dali."
Seeing her pouting, he touched her head and said, "Just tell your mother the truth. You are weak and need to take good care of yourself. It is not appropriate to have a child right now."
"Then my mother would say, the girls in the village are all like me, why are they in good health, but I am weak and can't get pregnant."
The daughter was raised by the mother, who understands her daughter's thoughts, but the daughter also understands what her mother is like.
Ji Wenhe took out the key and opened the door: "You guys don't come back often anyway, so let her say it. Don't take it to heart."
He carried a small stool to the door and poured two bowls of water.
"Sit down and cool down. I thought you might come today, so I didn't go to town with your brother Rongshan."
Shen Guyan sat opposite her and tilted his head to look into the yard: "We ran into Brother Rongshan on our way back."
Liu Dali borrowed a donkey cart, and as soon as it was daybreak, the two went to the town and bought some things.
"By the way, sister-in-law, I want to buy some eggs from your house. We don't have chickens at home, but we plan to raise some next year."
"What do you want to buy?" Ji Wenhe stood up and walked to the corner, holding the basket in front of her. "You are weak, you should eat more eggs and meat."
"I took a lot of eggs to town and sold them. There are only six left. You can take them back."
It was originally intended to be fried and eaten in the evening.
"No, I can't take it for free." Shen Guyan took out a purse from his arms.
"Gu Yan, you don't have to give me money. I'll be angry if you give me money. Six eggs, my sister-in-law can afford it now."
"Eggs will be laid again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. If I had known, I would have kept the goose and duck eggs for you to take back."
Seeing her handing over the money, he took it and put it back into her arms.
"Gu Yan, listen to my sister-in-law and take it back. If you buy dozens of them, my sister-in-law will take the money without saying anything."
"No, sister-in-law, I can't take it for nothing. You take it."
"I do not want!"
The two pushed each other for a long time.
Ji Wenhe brought the basket over and said, "I won't give you any eggs. Go buy some from someone else."
Shen Guyan said helplessly: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, then I will accept it."
"That's right." She smiled and handed over the basket.
"My sister-in-law's eggs are bigger than those sold in town."
"I guess they ate the white worms, which are nutritious. If you have chickens at home, raise a few more. They will lay more eggs."
"If you raise one or two, they will only lay eggs every few days. One every two days is not enough. You have to feed them good food before they will lay eggs."
I bought half a pound of sorghum for forty cents, and this time when I went to town, I was able to sell eggs for sixty cents, so I made back the money.
I plan to buy another half pound of sorghum next year. Only if I feed the chickens well can they lay eggs.
Shen Guyan took out a small cloth bag and put the eggs in it: "Let's talk about it next year."
"Brother Dali said that if I get pregnant, I can't bend down and squat so often, so I can raise chickens next spring."
Ji Wenhe handed her the water on the table and said, "You should eat more tonic food when you are pregnant, but you can't eat too much. Eating too much will cause the fetus to be enlarged and difficult to deliver. You must pay attention to this aspect."
"After a while, let Dali take you to see a doctor to check your pulse. It's always better to be careful. Don't be careless."
"Well, I made a note of my sister-in-law."
Liu Dali was very kind to her and always responded to her requests.
After marrying him, I finally understood what it felt like to eat so much meat that you were full and to wake up whenever you wanted to sleep.
She carefully placed the egg on the ground, holding her chin with both hands: "Sister-in-law, it's great to get married."
Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "It depends on whether you have met the right person. We both have met the right person, so we must cherish them."
"You've been married for so long, have you ever had a conflict with him? Have you ever gotten angry?"
She shook her head: "No, he has a good temper and smiles at everyone he sees, even at home."
"I'm not the type to lose my temper, so we've never had a fight, and she listens to me in everything."
"That's good. I'm relieved that you're doing well. If you encounter anything in the future, just come to me."
She was most afraid that she would not live a good life, otherwise she would feel guilty for the rest of her life. So she decided not to get involved in any marriage proposals from the villagers in the future.
After chatting for a while, Shen Guyan stood up and looked at her reluctantly: "Sister-in-law, I want to go back."
"Well, go back. Come back when you are free. When I am free someday, I will go to Baiyun Mountain to see you."
"it is good."
After sending her to the foot of the mountain, Liu Dali saw them coming down and quickly got up from the bench: "Sister-in-law, Yuanshan, we are going back."
"Hey, go back. Be careful on the road. Come back when you have time."
"Okay." Liu Dali nodded.
Shen Guyan turned around and waved to her: "Sister-in-law, I'm leaving."
"Okay, go slowly on the road."
"understood."
Ji Wenhe kept looking at their backs, and only withdrew his gaze after the donkey cart turned the corner and disappeared from sight.
"Sister-in-law, Dali sent quite a few gifts, including a pound of fatty pork, a pound of pork belly, two pheasants and a hare, a fish, and three mooncakes."
“That’s a lot of gifts.”
When the aunts in the village go to their parents' home to give gifts, most of them buy rice and flour to send back, in quantities of three, five, six, or eight kilograms. Some go to the town to buy half a kilogram of fat pork.
They didn't go to town to buy goods until the 16th, and there weren't many people buying meat, so they didn't go to town to buy pork.
"I asked Dali, a mooncake with red bean filling costs ten cents."
"I bought one when my parents were alive. It was nine cents each at that time. The price has increased this year."
At that time, I bought two mooncakes and shared them with the whole family.
Shen Yuanshan couldn't help but miss the days when his parents were still alive.
