Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 173 Yang Cuicui

"No, every family has a vegetable garden. If we were in town, maybe it would be easier to sell."

"Too."

The shop cannot just sell noodles. After a period of time, some daily necessities such as needles, thread, and fabrics must also be brought in and sold.

Shen Rongshan sat beside her, picked up the rope and followed her to learn.

After the heavy rain stopped, the three brothers carried their baskets up the mountain to look for wood ear mushrooms.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Rongshan is so good to you." Shen Wanqing said with envy, "I wonder what kind of man I will find in the future."

Ji Wenhe moved a stool to the door and sat down: "Wanqing, you are fourteen this year, right?"

"Well, mother said that she could arrange a marriage for me by the end of the year."

If her father were fine now, and her younger sister was sold to a widower, she would be the second one.

"What do you think?" Fourteen was still too young in her opinion.

"I'm not in a hurry. I want to wait until the 15th to see the couple, but my mother said we should wait and see first, just in case we find a good match."

Shen Wanqing looked at the puppet with an embroidered eye in her hand, with a smile on her face.

"I want to make more money to make life better for my family."

"My suggestion is that you save more money. Even if you are married, you should save some private money and don't let others know about it."

Ji Wenhe hesitated for a moment and asked.

"How is Uncle Xiaoxian? Will he attack you again?"

"No." Shen Wanqing shook her head. "Dad is very honest at home, listens to mom, and doesn't make trouble anymore."

Now he is a little afraid of his mother, because she has plenty of ways to torture him.

When I see his frightened eyes, I feel a sense of relief in my heart.

To be honest, she didn't feel any pity for her father. She wished he would die so that their family would have peace and quiet.

At this time, Shen Suya came up from the bottom of the mountain and said cheerfully, "You are all here."

"Let me tell you something. Aunt Niu came to my house just now and said that Sister Liuyun is pregnant, and her husband's family sent someone to inform her."

She went to the kitchen and moved a small stool to sit down.

Ji Wenhe remembered that Shen Liuyun got married in April.

"It should be two months."

Today is the 18th, it’s about the same date.

"Well, I heard from Aunt Niu that there was no happy news after the two got married, and the head of the village and Aunt Qin were very worried."

"What are you worried about? Are you worried that Shen Liuyun won't be able to have children?"

"Yes," Shen Suya held her chin, "If I can't have a baby, my husband's family will divorce me, and where will the head of the village save my reputation?"

Ji Wenhe curled his lips: "Is his face more important, or is Shen Liuyun's future more important? He doesn't even think about what Shen Liuyun will do in the future if he is divorced."

Shen Wanqing echoed: "The head of the village is a person who cares about his reputation. If Sister Liuyun is really infertile and is divorced, she will have no place to stay when she returns home."

This is their sorrow as women.

Your parents’ home is not home, and your husband’s home is not home either.

Now that Shen Liuyun is pregnant, they should pray that it's a boy.

In the evening, several people returned home.

Ji Wenhe moved the stool to the kitchen and closed the door.

My period has been here for several days, and the amount is very large every day. The stool is stuffed with wood ash and needs to be changed frequently.

Otherwise, she was afraid that she would get infected if she stayed bored for too long.

When I opened the door, I saw three brothers coming up from the mountain.

Shen Wenshan said happily: "Sister-in-law, look, we picked a lot of wild vegetables, wild fruits, and fungus."

"Mix it with shredded black fungus and smash a cucumber in it later."

"Then I'll light the fire." Shen Yunshan put down the basket, "Sister-in-law, shall we have noodles with wild vegetables tonight?"

Ji Wenhe poured out the vegetables in the basket, which were the ones Miao Zhaodi had sent over yesterday.

"Have some tomato soup and beat two eggs."

Eating too many dumplings will make you feel sick.

Shen Rongshan was squatting at the door sorting wild vegetables. When he saw her coming out, he said, "Wen He, I will go to the mountain to cut trees tomorrow and build a shed."

"But haven't you got the title deed yet?"

Only after getting the land deed can they go down the mountain and dig the pit.

"Cut the trees back first. It will be quick in a few days."

"Okay, tomorrow you go to the mountain to chop trees, and I'll go outside to cut thatch."

Shen Wenshan asked: "Do you want us to help at home?"

"No need, you two go out and sell the goods, your eldest brother and I can handle it at home."

It’s very quick to build a shed. After cutting the grass and tree stumps, it can be built in half a day.

The next morning, after dinner, everyone went about their own business.

Ji Wenhe carried a basket and took a sickle and went for a walk in the wasteland.

I used a sickle to pull away the thatch and saw the fleshy worms sticking out from inside. It gave me goosebumps.

What the lady said was indeed useful. A lot of fleshworms appeared in the field.

When the chickens are a little bigger, let them run around at the foot of the mountain, and then lure them back with food at night.

The shed was set up, and I looked at them while watching the shop.

After the rain, the ground was very wet and the nest was a mess.

Replace the grass with new dry thatch and drive the ducks and geese out.

Lan Qiuhua stood at the door: "Wen He, what are you doing with the basket on your back?"

Every day she would take the ducks and geese out for a walk.

"Come back from cutting the grass and build the shed."

"Build a shed? Are you planning to build a shed outside your yard?"

Ji Wenhe smiled and shook his head, then stopped. They also stopped and stood still.

"Aunt Lan, we bought the land next to your house and built a shed to sell goods."

Lan Qiuhua was surprised, then said happily: "From now on you don't have to run outside so often, just build a shed?"

She thought she would build a small house.

"Let's build a shed first and we'll work on it later. We don't have much money, so we can't build a house right now."

"How much did you pay for this piece of land?"

"Two taels."

"Two taels?"

"Yes." Ji Wenhe nodded. "The head of the village didn't ask for much. We don't have much money, so we can only give this much."

"Two taels is not a loss. The head of the village might think that your family has bought a lot of land, so it would be unreasonable not to give you a discount."

Otherwise, given his personality, how could he allow himself to suffer a loss?

Perhaps seeing that their family was getting better and better, he had the idea of ​​making good friends with them.

"Aunt Lan, I'm going first."

Lan Qiuhua responded with a smile: "Well, go ahead."

Ji Wenhe drove the geese and ducks into the water, and then looked for thatch around them.

"Hey, why are you cutting so much grass?"

A strange voice came from behind.

Looking back, she was a woman in her forties.

He has dark skin, a pair of almond-shaped eyes, and is not tall, about 1.5 meters tall.

She was leading a donkey and letting it out to her own.

Looking at the two piles of cut straw, he replied with a smile: "We need to build a shed at home."

"There's not much thatch here. You have to go east. There's more of it."

Ji Wenhe pointed to the creek not far away and said, "I came here to herd the geese. I don't dare to go too far."

Then he asked, "Are you from Zhaojia Village?"

The woman held the donkey's leash and nodded with a smile: "Yes, my last name is Yang."

"Auntie Yang, do you know Uncle Sanbao?"

There is only one family in Zhaojia Village that has a donkey cart. If I’m not mistaken, she is Zhao Sanbao’s wife, Yang Cuicui.

really.

"That's my man. I've met most of the people in Shenjia Village. You should be Shen Rongshan's wife."
