Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 378 Twins’ Birthday

Zhou Xiaoyu patted her shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. Find someone close to home for the two little ones. The three sisters can come back whenever they want. I think you will have a better life in the future. Unlike us, we have a son and we have to work so hard to make money for him to marry a wife. You can just wait and enjoy a peaceful life in the future."

"As long as my three best friends marry well and live well, I am willing to suffer for the rest of my life."

Ji Wenhe called out, "Aunt Li, the food is ready. Aunt Wang, please stop putting branches under the stove. The dish will be ready soon."

Wang Erfeng replied, "Okay."

"I'll bring the dishes to the table." Zhou Xiaoyu rolled up her sleeves and served the dishes.

Each person had a bowl of bone soup, and there was half a pot left. Ji Wenhe covered the pot and kept it for them to drink at home in the evening.

After sitting down at the table, he glanced at the table opposite and found that Shen Zhong was not there.

He lowered his voice and asked Zhou Xiaoyu beside him: "Aunt Zhou, the head of the village is not here."

"No, it was your Aunt Qin who came. I heard from your Aunt Niu that the head of the village has been very sad at home recently. He said it was because his son didn't come back. He also said that he didn't want the family's land and homestead anymore. Don't you think this is infuriating?"

You can't just sell homesteads and fields.

"Eat first, then talk after you finish eating."

"Okay." Ji Wenhe nodded and took a piece of wild vegetable cake.

After dinner, two or three people stayed behind to help clean up.

Li Chunhong entered the kitchen and saw that there was still half a pot of bone soup left in the pot. She hurried out and called a few people: "Yujiao, Xiaolian, Xiaoxi, Wenhe, come here."

The four people were confused and turned back to the yard.

Zhao Xiaoxi asked, "What's wrong, Aunt Li?"

"There's still a lot of bone soup left in the pot. Divide the soup among you. Mo Xin, Lian Meng, each of you has a bowl."

Li Yujiao shook her head: "Aunt Li, I don't want to drink anymore. I'm going home to see the kids. You guys drink. I'm leaving now."

Ji Wenhe then said, "I won't drink anymore. I'm full. Aunt Li, share some with them. And Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhou, they will be back after washing the dishes soon."

Amelia Su asked: "Aunt Li, do you want to serve a bowl to Uncle Xiaoxian?"

Li Chunhong replied: "Bring him a bowl."

I ate the whole bowl and wanted more, but she said there was no more.

The bowl was placed on the table: "Everyone sit down, don't stand."

Ji Wenhe stepped aside to let Zhao Xiaoxi in: "Aunt Li, I'm going home. You guys eat slowly here. I'm leaving."

"Hey, walk slowly."

She waved her hand, went to Shen Wenshan's house next door, and took a basket of corn back.

All the corn picked from the wasteland was placed in his house and not carried to the back.

I carried the basket home and finished making the remaining webs.

She thought that after sending it this month, she would not bring the net back for beating.

Winter is coming next month and the weather will be getting colder. If you don’t take good care of your hands in winter, you are likely to get frostbite.

In a blink of an eye, it was the twins' birthday.

Ji Wenhe was dazed when he heard a dog barking. He suddenly woke up and looked up. It was bright outside.

She quickly got dressed and stood up, pushed open the door and saw Shen Yuanshan coming in carrying two buckets of water and seeing her.

"Sister-in-law, I called you a few times outside, but you didn't answer me, so I didn't call you. I took the bucket to the creek to get more water, but there was no water in the water tank. Uncle Da Nian came over. Sister-in-law, did you not sleep well last night?"

Ji Wenhe nodded: "I had a bad dream last night and woke up twice. Where is Wenshan?"

"Brother went out to herd the geese. I hope he will be back soon."

She asked, "Has Uncle Da Nian had breakfast?"

"He said he had eaten and was talking to the head of the village at the entrance."

"Okay, then I'll wash up and cook."

Shen Yuanshan poured the water into the jar and said, "Sister-in-law, come and I'll prepare the meal."

Ji Wenhe nodded, rubbed his temples, and opened the window to get some fresh air.

I don’t know what happened last night, but I dreamed that I returned to my previous life.

And I appeared in front of the mourning hall of my parents and grandmother like a soul.

After waking up once, it took a long time for me to fall asleep again.

After falling asleep, I dreamed about bad things again, but I couldn't remember anything when I woke up. I only knew that I was very anxious and sweating, and I couldn't remember the content of the dream at all.

He patted his face and picked up a comb to comb his hair.

At the end of last month, when Shen Yuanshan went to Zhou's Rice Shop to purchase goods, the clerk told him that Shen Rongshan had already been there and told them that he would not be back on his birthday.

My employer won't let me leave, and if I leave I won't get paid. There's nothing I can do but wait until the New Year to come back.

Ji Wenhe made the bed and folded the quilt neatly.

When I went out, I saw Shen Wenshan coming back: "Wenshan, it's time to eat. Is Uncle Da Nian still at the entrance of the village?"

"I'm talking to Risama."

"Okay, let's eat. After dinner, let's get ready. We'll have hot pot for lunch."

I originally wanted to eat hotpot at night, but then I thought, let’s have it at noon.

I customized a double-sided iron pot and have already got it back, now placing it on the ground next to the vat.

Ji Wenhe said, "The stove is in the utility room. You can move it out and put it under the eaves later. Move the table out as well. I'll make some hot sauce and stir-fry a hot sauce base."

She can eat very spicy food, so she put less chili in the pot for fear that it would be too spicy and the two of them would not be able to eat it.

Make your own extra hot sauce.

Shen Wenshan asked: "Sister-in-law, have you cut all the mutton?"

"Everything has been chopped up, and the shrimps are all cooked. It's your birthday today, so you can eat as much as you want. Mutton is an irritating food, so I don't know if Uncle Da Nian can eat it."

"You should be able to eat. Uncle Da Nian said that his fingers and arms don't hurt anymore. Sometimes if you accidentally touch them, it still hurts a little. Uncle Da Nian never has any dietary restrictions. He said that he has been fine for so many years."

"Yeah." Ji Wenhe was worried, "Then let him eat two less pieces. Don't let him eat too much."

Shen Yuanshan raised his head and asked: "Sister-in-law, do you have any white flour left at home?"

"There's still half a bag left. Make less. Don't make too many noodles."

“Can I cook it in a hot pot?”

She replied: "Of course you can, but you have to cook it in a clear soup pot so that Uncle Da Nian can also eat it."

We had longevity noodles for our birthday, but there was no cake here and she didn’t know how to make one, otherwise she could have made a cake.

After dinner, Shen Yuanshan kneaded the dough.

Ji Wenhe took the two pheasants sent by Zhu Danian and put them into a basin. After scalding them with hot water to remove the feathers, he went to the river to clean them.

She heard the dogs barking and turned around to see one of them looking at her halfway up the mountain.

She waved her hand and ran over immediately.

"Come on, follow me to the river, and I'll dig out the pheasant's innards for you to eat."

When I got to the river, I turned my head and saw Zhu Danian and Shen Zhong sitting on both sides of the village entrance, talking.

The two big black dogs behind him whined.

Ji Wenhe put the basin down: "Got it, don't worry."

He scooped water into a basin, took a knife to cut open the chicken's stomach, cut off its butt, and gave each dog one.

Keep the other edible things, such as chicken gizzards, chicken hearts, etc., and throw the inedible things to them.

The two chicken heads were chopped off and thrown to them.
