Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 260: Release the Goose

As soon as they sat down, Wang Erfeng came in from outside: "Oh, you came so early."

"Aunt Wang is here pretty early too." Ji Wenhe yawned, "Aunt Wu came to my house to call me before I even got up."

"We are the same. We are happy to have a daughter-in-law." He filled a bowl of vegetable soup and sat down next to the two of them.

"Hey, Aunt Lan, Aunt Wang, are we the only three of us? Aren't the other aunts coming to help?"

Lan Qiuhua shook her head: "I don't know, I guess he will come later, or he will eat at home and not come yet."

After buying so many vegetables, they had to wash and pick them, and the dishes had to be done. Ji Wenhe cooked the dishes, and they didn't have to do any preparation. The two of them had to be busy from morning to night.

After the three of them finished their meal, Miao Zhaodi walked in.

Wang Erfeng pointed at the remaining soup in the pot and said, "Sister Miao, there is some soup left in the pot. Have a bowl."

"No, I ate it at home."

"Then pour out the soup from the pot. Anyone of you who is not full can drink the remaining soup."

Ji Wenhe shook his head: "I'm full, where's Aunt Lan?"

"I'm full too. Serve it out and put it in the cupboard for lunch."

Miao Zhaodi poured out the vegetables from the basket and said, "We came a little early, it's okay to come later."

"Of course." Wang Erfeng agreed, "It's quick to pick the vegetables. I'm going home for lunch and won't eat here."

At this time, Wu Caifeng's laughing voice was heard in the yard.

"Fei Ling, tie up the donkey, don't run away."

"Where's your father? Where did he go so early in the morning?"

"I'm so busy. He's nowhere to be seen since early in the morning, and I don't know when your sister will come over. If she comes earlier, she can help with the housework."

Shen Feiling straightened his clothes and said, "Mom, Dad and Uncle Ping went to Zhaojia Village and Zhangjia Village to borrow a table."

"My sister is pregnant and can't do any strenuous work. When she comes, don't let her do anything."

Wu Caifeng waved her hand nonchalantly: "I know, I know."

In the kitchen, Ji Wenhe sat behind the stove, and they didn't let her pick the vegetables.

"Aunt Lan, Aunt Wang, Aunt Miao, you came too early. There's nothing I can do to help you. How about I go home first and come back after lunch."

"Okay." Wang Erfeng turned and looked at her. "Go back and wait for us to call you. You're staying here anyway."

"Wow! You guys came really early." Zhou Xiaoyu stood at the door, "I was thinking of coming later, but she came to my door and called out, saying that you guys are all busy."

"Aunt Zhou." Ji Wenhe stood up and moved the stool to her. "Here, I'm going home and will come back later."

"Why are you here so early? Didn't I ask you to cook? Why are you here so early?"

"Aunt Wu came to my house early in the morning to call you. You don't want my help in picking vegetables. I have nothing to do here. I'll go home and herd the geese. I'll come back after lunch."

"Okay, go ahead." She nodded in response.

He came to the courtyard and called out, "Aunt Wu?"

She had to say hello to Wu Caifeng.

Lan Qiuhua replied to her from inside the house: "Wen He, go back. I'll talk to her when the person comes back."

Ji Wenhe nodded: "Okay."

After leaving the yard and coming to the door, he saw Zhao Sanniang walking towards him.

He smiled and said, "Aunt Zhao, Aunt Lan and the others are at Aunt Wu's house, go talk to them."

"No, there are too many people. Your uncle Ping won't let me go because he's afraid I might bump into someone by accident."

"I have to go out and herd the geese, otherwise I can still chat with Aunt Zhao."

Zhao Sanniang asked, "Where are you going to release the geese?"

Ji Wenhe pointed to the east of the village entrance and said, "Go a little east of the village. There is a river there. I always release the geese there."

"That's not far. I'll go out and play with you. I'm bored at home alone."

"Is it possible?" She was afraid that Shen Ping would say that when he came back.

"It's okay. I'm not climbing high. I'm just outside the village. Come on. I'll go with you."

"Okay, Aunt Zhao, wait for me here."

"Hey, don't worry."

Ji Wenhe trotted home and saw Shen Wenshan washing dishes in the kitchen: "Wenshan, I'll be back for lunch. I'm out herding geese."

"I know, sister-in-law."

She picked up the bamboo pole and quickly walked to the edge of the wasteland.

Zhao Sanniang stepped forward and said, "Wen He, how long have you been raising wasteland?"

“I bought the land in March, and it’s been more than half a year.”

"It's almost been a year, and we should be able to plant crops in the second half of next year."

"Yes." Ji Wenhe drove the geese and ducks out, quickly grabbed the naughty goose and slapped it a few times.

This has to happen every time before it behaves itself.

He threw the goose to the ground and said, "Plant corn in the second half of the year."

"Why don't you grow wheat? Wheat can be sold for money."

"If we plant wheat, the chickens, ducks and geese at home will have nothing to eat in the winter. We'll see next year. We don't necessarily have to plant all corn."

Zhao Sanniang followed her and said: "If the chickens are well raised, they can lay more eggs and sell them for a lot of money. Maybe it will make more money than growing wheat."

"I was thinking of raising more chickens, getting chicken manure, and using the land at home to cultivate crops so that we can have a good harvest."

Ji Wenhe wanted to start breeding and raise a hundred or eighty chickens, but he had to wait until his family bought a residential plot.

"Wen He, I have to remind you that your family's business is doing well now, but you are not the only one doing business."

"Every family has sold their grain and has money in their hands. It won't be long before many peddlers will come to the village. By then, your business will probably not be as good as it is now. You still have to save some money and buy more land."

"Aunt is right. I have thought about this problem too. If we can find someone to buy goods at a low price, they can find someone else too. Now life is getting better. The peddlers in the past are no longer employed."

"Brother Shen and I have discussed that we should run as much as possible in the next few months and buy some land next year."

For farmers, fields are the most important.

She agreed, "Yes, we should make plans early."

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I ran into Shen Ping and Shen Qingyou.

"Uncle Ping, Uncle Qingyou."

The two of them nodded with a smile.

Shen Ping looked at Zhao Sanniang and said, "You and Wen He should go out, but don't go too far and don't go near the river."

Ji Wenhe took over the conversation and pointed to the east: "Don't worry, Uncle Ping, we are there. I won't let Aunt Zhao get close to the river."

"Okay, you guys go ahead. I still have to go to Zhangjia Village to move some tables."

"By the way, Uncle Ping, Fei Ling has borrowed the donkey cart back. You can use it to pull the table."

"Oh, I get it. Slow down."

"it is good."

Zhao Sanniang followed her slowly and said with a smile: "I'm not a three-year-old child."

As soon as she goes out, I have to remind her not to go here or there.

"Uncle Ping cares about Aunt Zhao, I envy him."

"What do you have to be envious of? Your Rongshan treats you well and listens to you in everything. We should envy you."

Ji Wenhe turned around and waited for her to catch up: "Each of them has its own merits, and they cannot be compared with each other."

"That's true."

The two sat down not far from the stream.

Zhao Sanniang turned and looked at her: "Wen He, Auntie is a little curious."

"You asked."

"Isn't Rongshan in a hurry to have a child?"

"We are not in a hurry." Ji Wenhe repeated to her what he had said to others.
