Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 168 Looking for Li Chunhong

As he was talking, Shen Rongshan came back and stood at the kitchen door: "Everyone is back."

The twins nodded.

"I'm back just in time. Let me wash my hands and get ready for dinner."

Ji Wenhe covered the pot and scooped a ladle of water into the basin.

"Yuanshan, stop burning it. Take the branches out and I'll water them."

"Yeah." Shen Yunshan held a rice dumpling in one hand and a flaming branch in the other and threw them at the door.

Put out the fire with water, and wait until it dries before burning it.

"Brother Shen, I will go with you to plant vegetables tomorrow morning. I have watered the vegetable field with manure water. Just water it again after planting the vegetables tomorrow."

There has been no rain these days, it has been sunny all the time.

After planting vegetables, you have to water them.

"Okay." Shen Rongshan served her a bowl of rice.

"By the way, after you finish planting the vegetables tomorrow morning, you can rest at home. If the head of the village comes to ask, I will say that you went into the mountains."

But he probably won't come over to ask, after all, I've made it very clear.

"Brother." Shen Wenshan looked at him, "You should have a good sleep at home. Yuanshan and I will take care of the sales."

"Someone asked me today if I was going to sell pork to them in the next two days?"

"I'm not selling meat anymore. I'll buy more meat at the end of the month. Not many people are buying meat these days."

What you want to buy has already been bought.

He nodded and continued to eat.

Ji Wenhe ate little, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks: "You guys eat slowly, I'll go to Aunt Li's house and come back later."

After she left, Shen Wenshan asked in confusion: "Brother, why did sister-in-law go to Aunt Li's house?"

"I have something to do." Shen Rongshan put down the bowl, "The owner of Jinxiufang asked her to help find someone to make puppets."

The two realized that she wanted to find the three daughters of Li Chunhong.

When I reached the foot of the mountain and looked to the east, none of their family was working in the fields.

When I walked to her house, I heard wailing and cursing coming from inside.

It’s Shen Xiaoxian.

I shook my head secretly. It has become like this, but he still doesn't know how to restrain himself.

Arriving at the gate of the courtyard: "Aunt Li, are you home? I'm Wen He, I came to see you for something."

Shen Lianmeng came out from the kitchen: "Sister-in-law."

Then he called out to the bedroom, "Mom, Brother Rongshan's wife is here."

Li Chunhong in the room had a cold face. She put the bowl heavily on the table, and immediately put on a smiling face when she left.

"Wen He is here, come in quickly, have you eaten yet? Have something to eat at my house."

She smiled and pushed open the courtyard door and walked in: "After eating Aunt Li, your family will cook."

"Yes, I just came back from the fields. I'm tired all day, so I wanted to come back early to cook and rest."

Shen Lianmeng moved a small stool and placed it behind her: "Sister-in-law, please sit down."

"Hey, thank you Lian Meng."

Sitting at the kitchen door, I asked curiously, "Why don't I see the other two?"

"They both went to the creek to fetch water. Wen He, what do you want to talk to me about?"

She couldn't understand what could have happened that he would come to her when they had no interaction on a daily basis.

Ji Wenhe got straight to the point: "Aunt Li, I heard that Wanqing and the others are good at embroidery."

"I have some work to do, and I want to ask if you are willing to do it."

"What kind of work is it?"

"Embroider a puppet." Ji Wenhe took out a small puppet, "Like this, but you have to make a big one."

"To be honest, this is not my own business. I was asked by Boss Yang from Jinxiufang to help her find some people."

"I heard from Xiaoya that your three daughters are good at embroidery. Even Boss Yang praised them."

"I have also mentioned this to Boss Yang. If you are willing to do it, two puppets for one penny is more cost-effective than embroidering purses."

Yang Yun had told her that the purses they took in the shop were quite difficult to obtain, costing only one cent each.

In comparison, puppets are relatively simple and do not have complicated patterns.

As he was talking, the people in the room started shouting again: "Li Chunhong, get in here, damn it, I need to go to the toilet."

Li Chunhong ignored her and continued to ask her: "Wen He, when will the money be paid? How many can you get back at a time?"

"The settlement will be made at the end of the month. The more you work, the more you get. But you have to come to my house to do it. And one more thing, you must keep it a secret and cannot tell anyone else."

"If someone asks them why they come to our house, you can say that our house is cool, they bring their purses to our house to embroider, and they can also chat with me."

Ji Wenhe reminded again.

"Boss Yang specifically told us not to tell anyone else the style of the puppet. Otherwise, we won't give you any work in the future."

Li Chunhong nodded repeatedly with a smile on her face: "Okay, no problem, they will definitely not tell anyone else, don't worry."

At this time, Shen Xiaoxian's roar was heard again in the house.

"I'm sorry, Wen He, I made you laugh."

She shook her head and lowered her voice: "Aunt Li, I heard from the villagers that you have not had a good life in recent years."

"As a woman, I understand your difficulties. You should think more about yourself and your children."

Li Chunhong immediately understood what she meant, and raised her hand and patted her arm with tears in her eyes: "Auntie knows what to do. I know what to do."

Ji Wenhe stood up and said, "When your family is done, let them come to my house and I will pay you the money at the end of the month."

"It is most secure to keep money in your own hands. You will not be worried if you have money in your hands."

"Hey, auntie wants to thank you."

"No need to thank me, Aunt Li, I..."

Two voices interrupted her.

"sister in law."

"sister in law."

It was two sisters coming back from the river with water.

Ji Wenhe turned around and said with a smile: "You are back. I will let Aunt Li talk to you later. I still have to go to Aunt Zhou's house."

“Aunt Li, I’m leaving first. When you’re done, come to my house and I’ll tell you what to do.”

Li Chunhong nodded: "Oh, I understand."

Zhou Xiaoyu lives next to Shen Zhong's house, the first house on the east side of the second row.

Shen Wanqing put down the bucket and asked doubtfully, "Mom, what does sister-in-law want to see us about?"

"It's like this..." She told them what happened.

"What my sister-in-law said is true. It is indeed more profitable than going to the town to get it ourselves. Mom, let's go."

"When we make money, we'll save it all for you. I won't pay a penny for his leg injury."

She was talking about her father Shen Xiaoxian.

From just now on, the shouting and cursing in the house never stopped, but they ignored it all.

Li Chunhong carried the bucket, poured the water into the water tank, and then walked into the house.

As soon as I approached the bed, I smelled a strong smell of urine and my eyes showed disgust.

When Shen Xiaoxian saw her eyes, he almost choked on his breath. Just as he was about to curse, he suddenly saw him rushing up and pulling down his pants.

Without caring about the pain in his right leg, he raised his hand in shock and pain to stop her: "What are you going to do!"

"You vicious woman, what do you want to do! I'm telling you, when I get old..."

Seeing her turn around and pick up the scissors from the table, she trembled instantly and said in a terrified tone: "You, you, you, what do you want to do!"
