Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 388 Bran

"How can I help you?" Miao Zhaodi looked at them from the door.

"Aunt Miao."

"Hey, when did Rongshan come back?"

"just came back."

"Good to be back, where's Wen He?"

"She's at home." I wanted to come along, but I didn't let her.

Shen Rongshan walked out of the kitchen: "Brother Liang and I have discussed building two more pig pens after the spring."

"Okay, if your family raises ten more pigs, the remaining pigpen won't be able to accommodate so many."

Shen Liang nodded and asked, "Mom, where is Xiaoxi? Why aren't you at home with her?"

"I just finished cooking at home, and came to call you home for dinner. She is knitting at home."

"Aunt Miao, Brother Liang, you should go back to eat earlier. I will go home to cook."

Miao Zhaodi said, "Rongshan, call Wen He to come to our house for dinner."

"No, Aunt Miao, you guys should go back soon. I'll be back too."

"Well, let's go then."

Shen Rongshan nodded, turned around and walked home.

Ji Wenhe was kneading dough when he saw him come in: "The main hall bought a lot of roasted nuts and dates. We bought mutton in the middle of the month, but we haven't ordered beef yet. People in the town started ordering beef at the beginning of the month."

"It's the end of the year now. Let's order it a month earlier, otherwise we won't be able to order it. Tomorrow you and Yuanshan will go to town to buy wheat bran, and buy fish, shrimp, and tofu along the way."

He washed his hands and chopped up the pickled wild vegetables: "You won't go with us tomorrow."

"I won't go. The weather is too cold. Tomorrow, when it's fine, I'll take the quilt out to dry in the sun and clean up the house. Oh, and if there are any small fish, I'll weigh some and bring them back to fry and eat."

I haven't eaten fried dried fish for a long time, and I'm a little craving for it.

Shen Rongshan replied: "Okay, what else do you want to buy?"

"No more, I've bought almost everything."

At this time, the twins came back.

Seeing Shen Rongshan, he shouted happily: "Brother, when did you come back?"

"I've been back for a while." He looked at Shen Yuanshan, "Tomorrow you and I will go to the town to buy wheat bran. Do you want to go with us, Wenshan?"

He nodded fiercely: "Go, I want to go."

Ji Wenhe looked at the three of them with a smile: "Then you all go together, see if there is anything you want to eat, and then buy some back."

The two men hadn't seen their elder brother for a long time, and they pestered him and talked to him for a long time.

After dinner, Shen Rongshan washed the dishes and went into the house: "Wen He, I'm going to talk to them and I'll be back soon. You wash up and go to bed first."

"Okay, go ahead."

The three of them went to Shen Wenshan's home.

When he came back, it was already dark.

Hearing footsteps in the yard, Ji Wenhe turned his head and looked at the door. With a creaky sound, the door was pushed open from the outside.

Shen Rongshan whispered: "Wen He, are you asleep?"

She smiled and said, "No, I'm waiting for you to come back. Go wash up and warm up the bed."

When I sleep alone, sometimes the quilt is cold all night long.

"There's hot water in the small pot."

After washing, she put another piece of firewood in.

"Brother Shen, did you walk back today or take a donkey cart?"

"I walked back, but the donkey cart I met on the way was not going my way."

"Then you soak your feet in hot water. The one with a rope tied to the handle is a footbath, and the one without a rope is a wash basin."

"There are slippers on the shelf. I made them at home. They are a bit rough. You can wear them as they are."

Straw shoes are not as smooth as those made by others, and can be worn even after taking a shower.

Shen Rongshan opened the lid of the pot, and the water in the pot was still steaming: "Wen He, Wenshan and Yuanshan will meet for marriage at the end of March."

"Okay, it won't be as cold as it is now. Wait until after your birthday and ask Lin Yueniang to come."

I don’t know what kind of girls they will like. I suddenly feel a little curious. I hope they are easy to get along with and the three families can live in harmony.

Listening to the sound of water flowing in the inner room, Ji Wenhe pulled the quilt, leaving only his eyes exposed.

When he came out of the shower, he moved to the bed and said, "Brother Shen, get into bed quickly. You just took a shower, don't catch a cold."

Shen Rongshan sat on the bed, his feet still a little wet: "Wait until the water on your feet is dry, then cover yourself with the quilt."

"There are foot cloths. There is a basket under the bed with the foot cloths in it."

He bent down and fumbled around for a while, then took out the foot cloth from the basket: "Did you soak your feet tonight?"

"I soaked my feet. If I didn't soak my feet, they would be very cold at night and I couldn't keep them warm all night."

Seeing him lying in bed, she quickly leaned towards him.

Shen Rongshan hugged her and tucked the quilt in: "Put your feet on my legs."

Ji Wenhe stretched out his feet: "Are my feet cold?"

"cold."

"But I don't think my feet are cold." Then he smiled and said, "Your body is too hot, so you think my feet are cold."

"You're cold too. Why don't you wear something thicker? Put on your cotton-padded jacket when you get up at night. Where's the urine bucket?"

"I didn't take it. If I put it in the house, it would smell. If I put it outside, Wenshan and Yuanshan would get up early and see it, which would be bad. So I didn't use the urine bucket."

He yawned and continued.

"I rarely get up at night, but if I drink too much water, I'll want to go to the toilet."

Shen Rongshan clamped her feet between her calves and said, "Drink less water at night. Call me when you get up. I will go with you."

Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "I'm not a child. I'm afraid to go to the toilet. I need you to accompany me."

"It's dark and I can't see you. What if you fall into the toilet?"

She raised her head and kissed his chin: "Then you pull me out."

"By the way, Brother Shen, when you work in town, do you live in a large bunk bed with many people, or do you have your own room?"

"They were all large bunk beds, with more than a dozen people squeezed onto one big bed."

"It's better to sleep in a bed by yourself."

Shen Rongshan held the person tighter in his arms and raised his lips: "Well, two people are better, Wen He, go to sleep."

Working in town, I miss her every day, especially at night, because I’m afraid she’ll be scared sleeping alone at home.

Now that I'm back, I feel much more at ease.

Ji Wenhe listened to his heartbeat and said, "Brother Shen, you should go to bed early too. Good night."

With him by my side, I feel at ease.

When I sleep alone at home, I have to use a wooden stick to block the door, otherwise I will feel scared.

Li Chunhong was right. A woman at home would still be afraid even if no one came to disturb her.

When a man is around, others dare not have any extra thoughts.

The next day.

Shen Wenshan brought in the wardrobe he had built: "Brother, the wardrobe is ready. Put it in the yard to dry and move it into the house in the evening."

"Have you put in all the tables, chairs and cabinets in your room?"

"not yet."

Shen Rongshan said, "Fix the things in your two rooms first. Your sister-in-law and I are not in a hurry."

It's the end of January now, and it will be the end of March soon.

"Okay, I get it, big brother."

The table in their house has been built, but the two cabinets have not been built.

Ji Wenhe opened the door and came out: "Wenshan, Uncle Da Nian is not in a hurry for the table and cabinets. You two will be able to get married soon. Put the things in your room first."
