Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 284: Zhao Sanniang gave birth

Yang Yun admired and said, "Wen He, you are really good to your two brothers-in-law. You even built houses for them and helped them find wives. Where can I find a good sister-in-law like you?"

"They treat me well, so I treat them well too. Sincerity pays off."

"Alas, my family just moved to a new house, and I don't have much money, otherwise I could lend you some."

I had just moved into a bigger house in the middle of the month and had some money left, but it wasn't much, so I couldn't lend it to her.

Ji Wenhe said gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, Boss Yang. I don't really like borrowing other people's money. I feel more at ease with the money I earn myself."

Yang Yun stood up and said, "Okay, let's go next door and take some more fabric back."

She stood up and said, "We'll make the Qixi pattern in early July, and deliver it on the 26th. On the 27th and 28th, we'll fill it with cotton for you. If you make a lot, you'll need to find more people to help."

"If the Qixi Festival is done well, I will ask them to make a Mid-Autumn Festival style and give you two days. The price can be two or three cents cheaper than last year."

"I'll listen to you." After thinking for a while, he said, "Wen He, you said we should sell the puppets in other towns, so that we can make more money."

Ji Wenhe thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "I don't think it will work. I can definitely sell it, but I'm afraid someone will target me."

"We're making money selling dolls, and the merchants in town see it and approach you to work with you, or to buy your patterns. What are you going to do?"

"Besides, that's someone else's territory. It's easy for them to mess with us. Unlike here, you have established a good relationship with the officials, so no one dares to cause trouble."

"Well, I've thought about what you said. I heard that there are several merchants in this town who take dolls to other towns to sell them and make a lot of money." She felt a little unwilling.

"That can't be helped. But if Boss Yang wants to go, I won't stop you. You just have to think about the various situations you might encounter."

Ji Wenhe didn't want her to do this.

Other merchants would take them to other towns to sell, and they might well reach cooperative relationships with the locals, but they didn’t know that the person who drew the pattern was her, and she wouldn’t tell them that she didn’t know the person who drew the pattern at all.

Yang Yun cut the cloth and put it in the basket: "Someone has come to the shop recently to ask where the dolls we sell come from. I'm afraid that if we keep it a secret for a long time, they will find you."

This is what worries her most.

Although she said she would not cooperate with other people, Yang Yun also believed what she said.

But she is short of money now. If a lot of money is thrown in front of her, can she really afford it?

Ji Wenhe was silent for a long time: "Boss Yang, to be honest, I learned these styles from others. I remembered some of them, but I didn't remember many of them."

"We can't keep doing this business forever. I thought about it and decided that after we finish the Mid-Autumn Festival style, we can release a new style every two or three months."

"Maybe one day I won't be able to paint anymore. Before that, we'll make as much money as we can. Boss Yang, please keep it a secret for me."

"If someone finds me, let's talk about it together. I'm here to help you find someone, not the one who drew the pattern. As for who the person who drew the pattern is, if Boss Yang can't handle it anymore, you can say that the person who drew the pattern left and we won't release the puppets anymore."

Yang Yun nodded: "I understand. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Even if I tell them, they won't believe that a farm girl can draw so many novel styles."

"Besides, I have a good relationship with the concubines of the official. If anything happens, they will come out to help. Just do your job with peace of mind. I'm here for you."

"Okay." Ji Wenhe breathed a sigh of relief.

I’m afraid I can only sell dolls until the end of next year.

But by that time, I had some money saved.

Shen Rongshan pulled the donkey cart over and looked at the extra baskets in confusion: "Wen He, are you taking so many back this time?"

"Ah."

On the way back, she told him what happened.

"Wen He, the family can't just rely on you, hunting..."

Before he could finish his words, she interrupted him.

"Brother Shen, I told you before that I would not let you go into the mountains unless it is absolutely necessary. I don't want to be a widow."

Shen Rongshan turned his head, his eyes filled with helplessness: "I won't let you become a widow. If I really have an accident, you should find someone who treats you well."

"Don't listen to what others say. Staying faithful to your husband and never marrying is praised by others. I don't want you to live that kind of life."

Ji Wenhe looked at him with a smile: "So you have to be well and stay with me until we grow old. I don't want to marry someone else. Others may not be as good as you."

"Let's not talk about this. I've thought about it. The puppet will be finished by the end of next year. By then we'll have some money saved, plant some crops, raise some chickens, and live our simple life."

"it is good."

He looked forward and made a silent decision in his heart.

As soon as I returned to the village, I ran into Niu Guilan, who shouted from a distance: "You are back. Sanniang gave birth to a big fat boy."

"You don't know, Shen Ping's mouth was almost split to the back of his ears, he sat on the ground like an idiot, crying and laughing at the same time."

"That's great. When was the baby born?" Ji Wenhe asked happily.

"It's been a quarter of an hour. I'm going to Zhaojia Village to tell her parents."

She walks very quickly.

"Eh……"

"Wen He, I'm going to take the things home. You go first, I'll be there in a while." Shen Rongshan said.

"Okay, I'll go first."

She just wanted to call Niu Guilan and let her family tell the good news.

And her parents might not be happy even if they knew.

When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I saw Shen Ping sitting under the eaves, smiling foolishly.

"Uncle Ping."

"Hey, congratulations."

She hasn't said congratulations yet.

"Uncle Ping, congratulations, you got what you wanted."

"Hey, congratulations."

“……”Forget it, she decided to go into the house and take a look.

Knocked on the door: "Aunt Zhao, can I come in?"

Lan Qiuhua's voice came from inside the house: "Wen He, don't come in, let's clean up the house. She just gave birth and can't be exposed to the wind."

"Okay, then I won't go in. How's Aunt Zhao?"

"I'm fine, but I don't have any strength after giving birth."

After hearing this, Ji Wenhe breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning around, he looked at the man sitting on the ground and grinning: "Uncle Ping."

He raised his head and said, "Hey, congratulations to you."

Shen Ping was so happy that he had a child in his old age that he was still in shock.

I thought I would be single for the rest of my life, but unexpectedly I had a son at the age of 35. Anyone would be happy.

I heard the door open at the back and turned to look: “Aunt Wang.”

Wang Erfeng looked down at the dirt on her body and said, "I have to go home and change into clean clothes. Wen He, wait here and come over soon."
