Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 364 Raining

In less than five minutes, the rain stopped and the sun came out a little, but not long after that, it started raining again.

Up and down, it goes on like this all day long.

In the afternoon, when the rain stopped, Ji Wenhe went to the door to take a look.

The half-collapsed thatched houses in the village collapsed completely.

No, it should be said that the thatch was blown away by the wind.

Raindrops were falling from the sky, and I hurriedly turned around and went into the house.

It rained strangely today.

Early in the morning, the sky was still gloomy.

Ji Wenhe brought an umbrella to the fields to prevent sudden rain.

Passing by Lan Qiuhua's house, I saw her feeding the chickens in the chicken coop: "Aunt Lan, yesterday's rain was really strange. It rained on and off, and there was a strong wind."

When the rain stops, the wind stops; when the rain falls, the wind starts.

"Yes, I think it's going to rain today. Where are you going with your umbrella?"

"Go check the fields. The thatched houses in the village were blown away by the wind. The wind was blowing from the east yesterday. I'm going to check if the thatch has fallen on the fields."

"Wait a minute, I'll go with you."

She closed the chicken coop door, clapped her hands, and walked east.

Looking from afar, there was a lot of grass fallen in the fields.

"Now there is no thatched house left in our village."

Lan Qiuhua looked around and found that all the thatched houses had been blown away by the wind.

Ji Wenhe looked at the field and said, "It's hard to pick up the thatch that has fallen on the ground. I'm afraid it will kill the wheat seedlings."

"It's okay if I don't pick it up." He walked onto the wooden bridge. "There aren't many thatch grasses in the fields. They're all in the wasteland to the east and at the foot of the mountain. Wen He, I'll go check the fields."

"it is good."

She turned north and walked toward the foot of the mountain. The ravine was filled with water.

I picked up all the thatch I could find on the side.

When I came back from the east, I glanced at the cemetery and saw that several tombstones had been blown down by the wind.

Lan Qiuhua was waiting for her by the wooden bridge.

Ji Wenhe said loudly: "Aunt Lan, several tombstones have fallen down."

"Is there any in my house?"

"I do not know."

She didn't look inside or take a closer look.

"Go back first, Wen He. Isn't Yuan Shan at home? Ask her to come over and take a look. I don't dare to go because it just rained."

I was afraid of seeing will-o'-the-wisp. Even though I had heard her explanation, I was still afraid.

Ji Wenhe nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and call him."

My parents-in-law’s tombstones are inside, so I went over to see if they were blown down by the wind.

Lan Qiuhua called a few people and went to the cemetery together.

There were a lot of people around and it was daytime, so it wasn't that scary.

Shen Yuanshan walked around the cemetery and said, "People in our village repair tombs every year. The tombstones that have fallen down are those that no one worships."

Ji Wenhe asked: "What about the ones that were poured out?"

He shook his head.

Zhou Xiaoyu said: "Without descendants, no one will take care of us. Each family will take care of itself."

Because the tombstone is made of wooden boards, it has been eroded by rain for many years and the bottom has long been rotten. If it encounters a strong wind, it will fall down.

Wang Erfeng stood in front of her father-in-law's grave: "The wooden board has decayed over time. If there are descendants, they can make a new tombstone."

"Let's go back quickly. I'm a little scared." Zhang Qiu'e crossed her arms. "The will-o'-the-wisp will appear soon."

"Let's go, let's go quickly." Several people echoed and left the cemetery.

Shen Yuanshan said: "Sister-in-law, I'm going back first."

Ji Wenhe nodded: "Okay, go back."

When a few people were walking back, they ran into Li Chunhong, who was holding a wooden basin in her arms.

Wang Erfeng asked: "Chunhong, there is no sun today, the clothes won't dry after washing, they have a smell after drying in the shade, wait for a nice day to wash them."

As soon as I approached her, I smelled a foul odor. I thought I smelled it wrongly, so I sniffed it with my nose and said, "Why do I smell a bad odor? Do you smell it?"

The people behind were far away and shook their heads.

Li Chunhong took two steps to the side: "Is there still a stink now?"

"No more." Then he looked at the clothes in her basin. They were men's clothes. "The one from your family?"

"Ah."

Wang Erfeng frowned: "Who is he insulting? He doesn't even think it's disgusting. You too, why are you washing him? Let him suffer by himself."

"What's going on?" Zhou Xiaoyu still didn't understand.

Lan Qiuhua at the side whispered something to her.

She said angrily, "Chunhong, I think he is deliberately disgusting you. Don't bother with him. You don't live in the same room anyway, so you can't smell it. Let him suffer by himself."

Li Chunhong said helplessly: "Wanqing is getting married soon. I'm afraid if I don't wash it quickly, the bed will be pickled with feces and urine, and the room will stink."

"When people come into the house to talk to him, they will smell the foul odor and spread rumors, ruining the reputation of my three daughters, saying that they don't treat their father well."

Zhang Qiu'e agreed: "Chunhong is right. The more the word spreads, the more confused it becomes. Mo Xin and Lian Meng haven't gotten married yet. If bad news spreads, it will be difficult for the two to get married."

"Oh, he really knows how to treat people badly." Lan Qiuhua looked at her, "Chunhong, you have endured it for so many years, so don't mind enduring him for two more years. Wait until the two little ones get married, and don't endure anything."

"That's what I think. I'll just have to put up with him for two more years at most. You guys go back. I'll go do the laundry."

Looking at her back, Wang Erfeng shook her head: "This Shen Xiaoxian is still not honest. He keeps torturing her."

Ji Wenhe thought of what Li Chunhong had said to her before. If she hadn't been afraid of being harassed by people with bad intentions, she would have divorced Shen Xiaoxian long ago.

Li Chunhong's home.

Shen Wanqing walked to the next room with an expressionless face, stood beside the bed, and stared at the "good father" who only glanced at her after entering the room.

"I'm getting married on the 25th of this month. You can make trouble on my wedding day or not, but I will tell you one thing."

"I don't have to get married in my life, and I don't care what others say about me outside. The three of us sisters can make money on our own and support mom, so it's not a problem."

"Mo Xin, Lian Xin and I think the same thing. It doesn't matter what you want to do. There is only one thing. If you do something to mom, the three of us will never let you go easily, even if you are our father."

"Life is long. You'd better think carefully about whether you want to continue treating your mother like this."

After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.

Shen Xiaoxian stared blankly at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.

After the beginning of winter, the weather turns cooler.

After Ji Wenhe released the geese and ducks, he ran into Shen Qingdai by the vegetable field.

"Sister-in-law, kill this goose and eat it. It always likes to bite people."

He hit it a few times with the bamboo pole in his hand and said, "Don't tell me, I was just thinking about stewing it during the New Year."

Stewed goose in an iron pot.

"Its bite is very painful. The last time I was bitten by it, I was in pain for two days after returning home."

It was also her own fault. She teased it for no reason and got bitten on her calf.

"Oh, sister-in-law, we've run out of black noodles at home. I'll come over and buy a few pounds."

Ji Wenhe replied: "Okay, wait for me at the door, I will drive them back to the pen, right in front of Yuanshan's house."

Shen Qingdai nodded with a smile: "I understand, sister-in-law, you can go quickly, I'm not in a hurry."
