Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 256 Zhao Sanniang

"Wen He, you guys are busy. Your Aunt Zhao and I are going home."

"Hey." Ji Wenhe responded.

Looking at the two people's backs as they left, she raised her lips and smiled. The relationship between these two people was better than she thought.

When they were almost at home, Zhao Sanniang turned around and looked behind her, and asked, "I heard from the people in Zhaojia Village that Wen He was fleeing famine and was almost bullied by some scoundrels. It was Shen Rongshan who passed by and saved her."

At that time, she had just been divorced by her husband's family and returned to the village. She had no interest in the affairs of her village or other villages, and had never asked anyone about them in detail.

Shen Ping put the branches behind the stove, came out and brushed off the sawdust on his body: "It's like this, Wen He is a good person."

He moved a bench and placed it behind her, then walked into the utility room and continued, "When they first came to the village, they were thin and dark. Look at them now. They are both capable. We were wrong about them at the beginning."

She sat on the bench and looked at his busy figure: "Don't judge a person by his appearance. Most people in Shenjia Village are easy to talk to."

Unlike their Zhaojia Village, perhaps because there are so many people, there are too many people with different surnames, and they often quarrel every now and then, today this family, tomorrow that family.

She had been in Shenjia Village for so long, and she had never seen anyone quarrel or have any unpleasantness.

Shen Ping sat next to her with a bunch of straw in his arms, twisting the straw rope: "There are not many people in our village, so there aren't any messy things. If you can avoid going to your mother's house in the future, don't go. They won't welcome you if you go."

"Wait until the New Year, I'll buy some things and send them over, and you don't have to go with them. If they're willing to take them, then take them. If they're not willing, I'll take them back, and I won't go there anymore."

She sent gifts home during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but her parents refused to accept them and sent her back.

Zhao Sanniang lowered her eyes, with sadness in her eyes. After a long while, she said, "I'll listen to you."

Her mother once said that a daughter who is married off is like spilled water, and should never go back if possible.

Shen Ping turned his head to look at her and comforted her softly: "Although I don't have any great ability, I can still make sure you and the baby in your belly are well fed."

"The doctor said that pregnant women should not think about unhappy things all day long."

She nodded: "Okay, I understand. I won't think about that anymore."

It was useless to be sad because her previous child didn't recognize her. Now that she had a baby in her belly, she wanted to focus all her attention on this family.

the other side.

Ji Wenhe used a shovel to shovel the soil he had carried into the wasteland.

At this time, Shen Yuanshan came over and said, "Sister-in-law, give me the shovel. I'll do it."

"Have you finished twisting the straw rope?" she asked.

The two brothers rolled straw ropes at home and kept them at home to use for making fences, bundling straw, etc. They had many uses.

"No, that's about enough."

Ji Wenhe handed him the shovel, shook his arms, walked out of the wasteland, went to the foot of the mountain, and chased back the chicken that had run away.

The three of them worked until the evening. Shen Wenshan prepared dinner at home and came down to call them back to eat.

The soil of the wasteland was half turned over, and Shen Yuanshan said, "I will turn the soil at home tomorrow."

After getting the donkey cart, two people in the family would go out to sell goods, and occasionally three of them would go together.

"Yeah." Shen Rongshan responded, turned around and waited for Ji Wenhe. When she approached, he asked, "Are you tired? You can rest at home tomorrow and let Yuanshan turn the soil."

"It's okay, just think of it as some exercise."

The two twins had already returned home.

She walked forward and held his hand: "I have raised him for half a year, and now you are exhausted because you can't do any work. The family can't rely on you alone."

"But you have endless energy every day. You take a rest when you are tired. You can't finish all the work in a day."

Shen Rongshan gently held her hand, smiling: "I'm used to it. I can't sit idle. This little work won't tire me out."

Ji Wenhe looked at him sideways: "Aunt Lan said that marrying me is your blessing, and I think it is also my blessing to marry you."

He tolerated her and would do what she said even if he didn't understand some things.

"Aunt Lan is right. It is my blessing to marry you."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Sister-in-law, brother, it's time to eat." Shen Yuanshan poked his head out from the kitchen, saw the two of them holding hands, and immediately retracted his head.

He glanced at the people sitting at the table, waiting for their meals, and whispered, "You go and call them later."

The other party looked puzzled and did not ask any further questions.

The dinner table.

Shen Wenshan finished eating the wild vegetable cake in his hand, turned around and asked, "Brother, go buy broad bean seeds at the end of the month, or after the frost falls."

"We're going at the end of the month. There's no need to rush in these few days."

"Then I'll go with you at the end of the month, and Yuanshan will stay at home."

Shen Rongshan nodded: "Bring back seeds for the villagers, you go buy them, and sell the eggs on the way."

Ji Wenhe took over the conversation and looked at the three people: "It's the beginning of winter next month, is there anything else you want to buy at home?"

"No, we have quilts, cotton-padded clothes, and cotton-padded shoes. There should be nothing missing at home." Shen Yuanshan thought about it and it seemed that the family had nothing missing now.

The other two shook their heads.

"Okay, if you want anything, just tell me. Now that you have some money, you don't have to be as frugal as before."

I bought a pound of fatty pork at the end of the month. I haven’t finished eating the soy sauce and vinegar yet, so I don’t need to buy more.

In fact, she felt that there were many things missing at home, but the place was small and she had no place to put them after buying them.

After dinner and washing up, Ji Wenhe took out the thin cotton coat from the box. When he heard footsteps, he turned around and said, "Brother Shen, you can wear it after the beginning of winter. Take it out to dry in the sun on a nice day."

Shen Rongshan took the cotton coat from her hand and compared it to his body: "I'm not afraid of the cold. I'll wear it when it snows."

"You need to wear thick clothes when it snows, but you can wear this thin one underneath. If you feel too hot, don't wear this one." She took out a thick cotton jacket from the bottom of the box. "Our box is too small."

It could only hold his cotton coat, cotton pants, and a thin cotton jacket.

"Wen He, why don't you go to town and buy two big boxes? You can put your clothes in them and put my clothes outside."

"It's too expensive to buy them in town. It's better to ask a carpenter to make them. When you go out to sell goods tomorrow, tell the carpenter to make two and give one to them."

Shen Rongshan folded the cotton-padded clothes and said, "Well, the place at home is too small, otherwise we could build a wardrobe."

"That can't be helped." Ji Wenhe carried the quilt onto the wooden box and put the cotton coat on top. "The door outside is not big. You have to bend over to go in and out. The cabinet is too big to get in, and it's too small to fit a few clothes."

"Let's wait until the house is built and then hire a carpenter to make a few large wardrobes."

She then wants to set aside a room as a cloakroom.

After packing up, I took off my shoes and climbed onto the bed: "Wenshan and the others haven't come back yet?"

The three of them went out to take a bath together and usually came back together.

Shen Rongshan walked outside, looked at the eggs in the basket, and said, "Washing clothes by the river, Wenhe, can you save some eggs?"
