Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 250: Grass

"It's good to separate the family. I can be the master of my own house without anyone to control me." She pulled out a blade of grass and played with it in her hand. "Sister-in-law, I don't want to get married at all."

The thought of being like her mother in the future, taking care of the household, made her feel terrified.

Ji Wenhe turned around and looked: "In this era, if you don't get married, you have to shave your head and become a nun, otherwise you can't survive in the village."

"There are pros and cons to getting married. The key is to choose the right person. After all, you will spend your whole life with him/her. You can't just settle for it. You must keep your eyes open."

Shen Suya looked up at the leaves floating in the wind above her head: "Gu Yan chose the right person and married a good family. I can tell she is living a good life. I envy her."

"Don't be envious. You will marry into a good family in the future. Let Aunt Lan check it out for you carefully. Make sure you find out what kind of person the man is."

It is impossible to let her not get married. The destiny of most women in this era is to get married. If she does not get married, she will definitely live a miserable life, being subjected to all kinds of rumors, having second-rate people knocking on her door in the middle of the night, and so on.

Besides, it is impossible for Lan Qiuhua and Shen Erniu to agree to her not getting married.

Ji Wenhe looked ahead and said, "Your elder brother has found a wife, and now Aunt Lan should find one for you."

"Well, mother told me last night not to worry. As long as brother can see it, she will let Lin Yue see it for me."

In fact, she was not in a hurry at all.

She nodded and changed the subject: "Will you go to town with us tomorrow?"

"Go, the net is finished."

After delivering the goods, bring back some more nets to make them.

Here, Shen Rongshan helped them transport the food to the town, and then immediately rushed back to the village, without even having lunch at home.

Ji Wenhe baked several cabbage pancakes and egg pancakes, and waited at the entrance of the village with a basket.

"Wen He, why are you standing here, waiting for Rongshan?" Zhou Xiaoyu said with a basket on his shoulder.

"Aunt Zhou, he hasn't had breakfast or lunch yet, so I made some vegetable cakes for him to take with him on the road."

She is the only family left.

"Then wait a little longer, he should be back soon."

"Okay." Looking at her carrying an empty basket, he asked in confusion, "Aunt Zhou, where are you going?"

"I came to the creek to wash. The bottom of the basket is a little dirty."

Ji Wenhe followed her to the river and listened to her.

"A few days ago, when I was collecting eggs at home, I accidentally broke one. I asked your Uncle Zhan Guo to take it to the creek to wash it, but he acted as if he didn't hear anything and has left it there until now."

She was heartbroken when a good egg was broken.

"Be careful when you hold the eggs. They might slip out of your hands if you're not careful."

"Yes, Uncle Zhan Guo never lets you take the eggs from home."

The family was busy a few days ago, so I asked him to bring the eggs back to the house, but unexpectedly, one of them was broken.

At this time, Shen Rongshan's voice sounded behind him: "Aunt Zhou, Wen He, why are you here?"

Ji Wenhe turned around and shook the basket in his hand: "You haven't had breakfast or lunch, so I brought you some food."

His eyes were gentle and the corners of his lips were slightly raised.

Zhou Xiaoyu stood up with a smile: "Wen He has been waiting for you here for a long time. I am really sorry for bothering you today. You have been working hard all day and didn't even have a meal."

Send some food to their house in a couple of days.

"Rongshan, I'll take the donkey cart home, you eat first."

Shen Rongshan took the cake and said, "Aunt Zhou, we have to hurry. There are too many people queuing up to sell food in the town."

"I ran into Mr. Zhou from Zhou's Rice Shop on the street. He said that the price of grain might go down tomorrow, so he asked people to sell their unsold grains as soon as possible."

She suddenly became anxious: "Well...then, then you should come home with me quickly. After the grain is sold, Aunt Zhou will definitely thank you."

"Brother Shen, go quickly, I'll give you the basket."

If the grain price drops by one cent, we will lose a lot of money.

"Wen He, go home and rest." Shen Rongshan took out the cakes from the basket and said, "Take the basket back with you."

After saying that, he turned around and quickly caught up with Zhou Xiaoyu who had already run far away.

Ji Wenhe sighed softly: "Farming is really not easy."

Only after experiencing it myself did I realize how hard farming is.

After returning home, I said hello to the twins and went to Lan Qiuhua's house to borrow a rake and a straw basket.

"Wait a minute, Wen He. I'll go with you. You wait for me at the foot of the mountain. I'll go to your Aunt Huang's house to borrow a straw basket and a rake."

"Aunt Lan, you can use yours. I'll go borrow some."

She waved her hand: "It's all the same."

After borrowing a straw basket, the two went to the vicinity of the cemetery.

"Wen He, do we have to come here to collect grass?" Although it was daytime, Lan Qiuhua still felt a little worried.

"There are a lot of leaves here, but not many near the village. Look, Aunt Lan, the leaves are piled very thickly." Ji Wenhe pointed to the right side of the cemetery.

"Aunt Lan, don't be afraid. It's okay. If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. Besides, it's broad daylight, and the sun is shining brightly. If a ghost comes out, it will be scared to death."

"Wen He, please stop talking. I am afraid. I am afraid even if I have done nothing wrong."

"Aunt Lan, why don't we go to the eastern hilltop?"

Lan Qiuhua shook her head: "There are a lot of leaves here. Anyway, you are here, so we won't go to the cemetery."

She swallowed her saliva and continued, "I forgot whether it was your Aunt Zhou or your Aunt Li, but when we saw a rabbit running out of a grave, we were so scared that we didn't dare to walk past this side for a long time."

"I saw rabbits running out of graves when I was a kid."

There is a piece of dry land at my grandmother's house where my grandfather's grave is. One time, when she was called home for dinner after school, she just walked to the cemetery and saw a rabbit running out of the grave.

"Aunt Lan, rabbits love to dig holes, and I guess one accidentally dug into a grave."

"Why does this person become less courageous as he grows older? When I was a child, I dared to play near the cemetery with my sisters from the same village. I was not afraid at all. Later, after I got married, I became more and more timid."

Ji Wenhe shook her head. She didn’t know either. She dared to watch zombie horror movies when she was a child, but she didn’t dare to do so when she grew up.

After collecting the grass, the two men carried the grass baskets back home, piled them up at home, and then continued on their way.

At around five o'clock, Shen Rongshan came back with a car full of people, all of whom were the first people from the village to go to the town.

"Why are you two collecting grass near the cemetery? Aren't you afraid that a rabbit might run out of it?" Wang Erfeng jumped off the donkey cart with a smile.

"Look how happy you are. How many kilograms of grain did you sell?" Lan Qiuhua asked.

There was no need to hide this because everyone was selling food together.

"Four hundred and eighty-eight kilograms. My husband said it could be five hundred kilograms, but it wasn't. But it's still a lot."

"Aunt Lan." Shen Rongshan came over with the donkey cart and looked at Ji Wenhe. "Wenhe, I still have to go to town. Aunt Zhou, Aunt He, and Aunt Qian will probably be there very late. You don't have to wait for me for dinner tonight."

"Okay, be careful when you come back at night. If you're hungry, eat in town. I'll go home and get some money for you."
