Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 261 Busy

"You're right. Our family has no money. If the child is born, he will suffer with us adults."

"Aunt Zhao, everyone has different ideas. I don't want to raise my child in poverty. I want to raise him in wealth. I will consider having children after we build a house."

Zhao Sanniang nodded in understanding. In fact, they all wanted to raise their children in wealth, but they had no money.

After chatting for a while by the river, Ji Wenhe stood up with a bamboo pole and said, "Drive them back. Aunt Zhao, you go first, I'll catch up with you soon."

"to make."

She went down the slope and stretched out the bamboo pole to push them to the shore.

When they got ashore, they saw a woman standing next to Zhao Sanniang with her back to her. She was carrying a basket covered with a cloth.

He walked slowly to the side of the road, and when the person turned his head to speak, he saw that it was Shen Ruoyan.

Hearing the goose cry, she turned her head with a smile on her face: “Sister-in-law.”

"Hey, Ruoyan walked back?"

"No, I took a donkey cart halfway."

Ji Wenhe's eyes fell on her slightly bulging belly: "How many months?"

"It's almost three months." Shen Ruoyan stroked her belly with a gentle expression, "I vomited a lot in the first month, but it's been better in the past two months."

Zhao Sanniang smiled and said, "They say that firstborns vomit a lot, but the one in my belly has never vomited since I got pregnant."

Neither did the child in front.

"Let's go into the village."

Ji Wenhe drove the geese and ducks in front to prevent the naughty goose from attacking people.

"Sister-in-law, Fei Ling is still at home, right?" Shen Ruoyan asked.

"No, the donkey cart will take an hour to get to the girl's house. I didn't ask him what time he left. Anyway, you can see him when you get home."

She nodded. This was her third time returning to her parents' home, from the time she got married to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

When we got to the intersection, he said, "Sister-in-law, Aunt Zhao, I'm going home first."

"Hey, go ahead."

After she walked away, Zhao Sanniang asked curiously, "Wen He, why does she look unhappy to me?"

"No." Ji Wenhe drove the geese and ducks into the wasteland and closed the door. "The two siblings have a very good relationship. Ruoyan had a hard time when she was at her parents' home. The only one who really cared about her was Shen Feiling."

"Aunt Zhao, would you like to come to my house and have a seat?"

"Okay, it's okay for me to go home."

the other side.

Shen Ruoyan returned home: "Mom, where are Dad and my little brother?"

"Hey, you're finally back." Wu Caifeng put down the rag in her hand, "Your father went to Zhaojia Village to borrow a table, and your brother is in the house."

Then he looked at the basket in her hand and asked, "What did you buy?"

"I bought some cloth for my younger brother and his wife to make new clothes."

Seeing the disappointment on her mother's face, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Mom, I'll go see my brother."

Passing by the kitchen door, I saw several aunts busying around in the house and greeted them one by one.

Wang Erfeng was sitting at the door. Seeing the look on Wu Caifeng's face, she curled her lips and whispered, "Two sets of cloth will cost a lot of money. Look at how disgusted she is."

"Ruoyan was pregnant, and my daughter went back to her parents' home. I didn't care how she was doing, I only thought about what gift I gave her."

"Don't say that, it's not good if others hear it." Miao Zhaodi interrupted him.

inside the house.

Shen Feiling changed into a new set of clothes and walked around the house.

Seeing his look, Shen Ruoyan smiled and said, "I can't wait to welcome my sister-in-law into the family."

"Sister." He greeted her happily, glanced at her bulging belly, and supported her arm, "Sister, sit down."

"I'm fine. It would be good to move around more."

"Sister, did you come here?"

"No, I took the donkey cart halfway." Shen Ruoyan took out the cloth from the basket and said, "I bought some cloth for you and your sister-in-law."

"Sister, just come if you want to. Why buy anything? Just keep the money in your hand and spend it yourself."

"I can't just not buy anything for you to get married." Even so, her mother still looked disgusted.

Then he asked, "Look, I'm not here, how is your sister-in-law?"

Shen Feiling moved a stool and sat opposite her, smiling shyly: "She is fine."

Like his sister, he is not welcome at home.

Shen Ruoyan nodded, without asking any more questions, and gave a few instructions: "Marry her and treat her well. Don't let her suffer in any way."

"Well, I understand, sister, how does your brother-in-law treat you?"

"He treats me very well and obeys me in everything."

Without her parents-in-law to serve her, she is the one who makes the decisions on all matters big and small at home.

In fact, you can tell from her face that she has gained a lot of weight, become much whiter, and has a better complexion than when she was at her parents' home.

Hearing Shen Qingyou's voice coming from outside the house, Shen Ruoyan stood up: "I'll go out to see Dad, and come back to talk to you later."

"Okay, sis, slow down."

"Yeah." She responded.

It was almost noon and several people did not eat at Wu Caifeng's house.

Ji Wenhe had just finished his meal at home and walked out of the kitchen when he saw Lan Qiuhua coming up from the mountain.

"Aunt Lan, have you eaten yet?"

"I have eaten. Have you eaten?"

"I just ate and was about to pack up and go to Aunt Wu's house."

"Don't worry, take your time packing, I'll go with you."

The sun is a little strong at noon, let’s take a rest before going over.

Ji Wenhe moved a stool for her and scooped water to wash her hands: "Aunt Lan, sit down and talk."

Just as she sat down, Miao Zhaodi came up from the bottom of the mountain and waved at the two of them: "Qiuhua, Wenhe, Caifeng asked me to call you."

Lan Qiuhua stood up helplessly: "Sister Miao, isn't the table at home already cleared? There aren't many dishes left. Let's take a break before going over."

"Let's go over and cut the vegetables. Maybe they'll be back with people soon."

"Aunt Lan, let's go." Ji Wenhe wiped his hands, turned to the people in the kitchen and said, "Wenshan, I'm going."

Shen Wenshan nodded.

The three of them went to Wu Caifeng's house.

It takes one hour to go to the bride's house and another hour to come back, a total of four hours.

The road is bumpy and I have to take care of the girl, so it might take me a while to get back.

Shen Qingyou, Shen Shuzhuang and Shen Ping were at the entrance of the village.

All the young men in Shenjia Village went to work in the town, so there were only a few men who came to the banquet from the village, but mostly women.

When we arrived at Wu Caifeng's house, we saw a few unfamiliar faces and a few children sitting in the yard.

These people also came when Shen Ruoyan got married. They should be their relatives.

A few people greeted each other politely and went to the kitchen to work.

At about 2 p.m., I heard a child outside shouting, "Here comes the bride."

Ji Wenhe put down the pumpkin seeds in his hand and said, "I'll go out and take a look."

Lan Qiuhua and a few others stood up and stood at the door looking out.

There was no music or dance. The bride sat on the donkey cart, wearing a new maroon dress, holding a tattered bundle in her arms, and lowering her head shyly.

"This girl is so thin." Wang Erfeng sighed, "I guess she's not popular at home."

Miao Zhaodi brought a brazier from somewhere and placed it in the middle of the yard.
