Spring scenery in the fields

Seeing the dirt on his face that had gotten on his face at some point, she reached out and wiped it off with her fingers.

When her fingers touched her cheek, Shen Rongshan froze instantly, stopped digging, and looked up at her.

"It got covered in mud. Okay, now it's gone."

Ji Wenhe didn't feel anything was wrong. They were husband and wife, and helping to wipe away the dirt wouldn't attract gossip. The man was not a stranger.

"Brother Shen, why don't you dig anymore?"

Her eyes were clear and smiling.

Shen Rongshan found that his heart was beating very fast, as if he was standing on the battlefield for the first time, but the two feelings were different.

He ignored the strange feeling in his heart, lowered his eyes and continued digging.

"Hey, brother, when did you come down the mountain?"

Shen Wenshan was standing in the wasteland not far away, looking in their direction.

Ji Wenhe took over the conversation: "I just came down a while ago. How much have you dug?"

He lifted the basket and it was full.

He gave him a thumbs up and praised him, "That's amazing."

Shen Wenshan smiled shyly, squatted down and continued.

Looking back at Shen Rongshan, he said, "Brother Shen, we can't eat all the wild vegetables we dug. They will wilt if we leave them alone."

“Dry it in the sun and store it.”

He already knew that she had forgotten the past.

Pointing to the dandelions in the basket, he said, "You can make porridge out of them, or dry them and soak them in water to drink."

Ji Wenhe nodded. The dried wild vegetables were not tasty and a little hard to chew, probably because they were not soaked.

There are too many people picking wild vegetables. If you don’t pick them, when you want to go, you won’t find much.

There was war and famine, and people were worried about food shortage. The only thing they could do to fill their stomachs was wild vegetables.

When the season arrives, I get up early and go to bed late to look for it. The more I save, the more at ease I feel.

Shen Rongshan put the wild vegetables he dug into the basket and said, "Let's go back first."

He called the two people in the wasteland and poured the wild vegetables in the baskets into one basket.

Ji Wenhe followed him up the mountain and looked back halfway: "Brother Shen, how long will they finish digging?"

It seemed that none of them wanted to go home, and they all lowered their heads and looked around carefully.

"If you can't find it, just go back naturally."

"Then should we take this basket of wild vegetables back home and clean and dry them?"

The basket was overflowing with wild vegetables, filling up in an instant.

Shen Rongshan turned around. The slope ahead was difficult to walk on, so he asked her to go ahead: "Well, the sun is good today. We can put it away after a few days of sun exposure."

Ji Wenhe climbed up the slope carefully, stepped on a small stone, and her foot slipped down. A hand appeared behind her waist and pushed her up.

"Thank you, Brother Shen."

After she came up, she turned around to pull him up, and saw him walking towards her with big strides.

Long legs are good.

After entering the yard, Shen Rongshan went into the house and took out a bamboo board woven with bamboo threads. He poured the wild vegetables on the ground, cleaned off the dirt and placed them on the bamboo board.

"Don't you want to wash it with water?" Ji Wenhe squatted down and helped clean up.

"If you don't wash it, it will rot and mold if it's not dried properly. Soak it in water when you're ready to eat it."

As he said this, he went to the kitchen and brought out two low stools.

"Go wash your hands, I'll do it."

"It's okay." He pulled the stool leg over and sat down. "I am a member of this family. I can't always enjoy it from the sidelines."

"There's not much work to do at home, so you don't need to be busy."

Ji Wenhe raised his eyes to look at him and suddenly asked, "If I don't do anything, won't you be angry?"

Shen Rongshan lowered his eyes and noticed her gaze on him: "Why are you angry?"

"Because I don't do any work, I don't wash dishes, I don't wash clothes, I don't cook."

He was the one who washed the underwear after she took it off.

She originally wanted to wash herself, but he said she was not well yet and couldn't touch water.

"Aren't you afraid that the villagers will say you married a lazy woman?"

"Don't be afraid, I volunteered."

Shen Rongshan raised his head with a serious expression.

"You don't have to care about what others say. I won't listen to them. This life belongs to the two of us. Just be happy."

Ji Wenhe smiled, and his favorability towards him increased: "Brother Shen, thank you."

This "thank you" contained a lot of things that the original owner didn't have time to say to him. Now she said it on behalf of the original owner, and also included her own gratitude.

The two of them didn't talk, but quietly cleaned the wild vegetables and hung them out to dry one by one.

Lan Qiuhua brought her daughter back home and washed her hands: "Xiaoya, clean up the wild vegetables while I find some clothes."

"Mom, what are you looking for clothes for?"

"Your brother Rongshan's wife didn't bring any clothes when she came. I want to give her the clothes I can't wear. I have a change of clothes, but I don't know if she will dislike it."

Shen Suya shook off the water stains on her hands and walked into the house: "Mom, your clothes are so old-fashioned and the colors are ugly. My sister-in-law will definitely not like them."

Girls love to be pretty, and who doesn’t like bright colors?

Lan Qiuhua moved out the box at the end of the bed. Inside were clothes she had worn when she was young, which she could no longer wear.

Some of the clothes with nice colors were altered to smaller sizes and given to her daughter, and the rest of the clothes were all darker colors that the woman liked to wear.

"Your sister-in-law has no clothes now, right? The weather is getting warmer. When summer comes, she needs to change clothes every day. What will she do if she has no clothes to change into?"

There was not much money at home, and the cloth was not cheap.

She took out three dresses and placed them on the bed: "I'll go ask. If you don't want me to take them back, I'll take them back."

Shen Suya leaned against the door and tilted her head: "It's up to you, I'll go prepare the dishes."

"go Go."

Lan Qiuhua picked and chose, and picked out three dresses with few patches, put them into a clean basket, and covered them with cloth.

When he walked to the courtyard, he said to Shen Suya, "I'm going to your eldest brother Rongshan's house. I'll be back soon. When your father and your brother come back, let them cook first."

"Good~"

As evening approached, the people who were picking wild vegetables gradually returned.

When I arrived at their door, I saw no one in the yard: "Rongshan, where is your wife?"

Shen Rongshan was picking up dried wild vegetables: "Aunt Lan, she is in the house, I will call her out."

Lan Qiuhua waved her hand quickly: "No, I'll go in and see her, you go do your thing."

Ji Wenhe heard their conversation in the house and just as he walked to the door, he bumped into her.

"I'm here to bring you something. See if you want it. If not, I'll take it back."

I pulled her into the room. The door was not closed and there was light.

She took out the clothes from the basket and said, "The clothes are a little old. I remembered that you didn't bring any clothes when you came to the village. The weather is getting warmer now, and I'm afraid you don't have any clothes to change into."

"Look, the color is a bit old-fashioned, but it's still wearable. It's the clothes from my youth, and I've always taken good care of them. Don't despise them."

She also loved beauty when she was young, but her mother never bought her bright-colored clothes, saying that they would not stay dirty when used for work.

Ji Wenhe thanked her gratefully: "Thank you Aunt Lan, I don't dislike it, I like it very much, thank you."

Seeing her say this, Lan Qiuhua smiled and said, "I'm glad you don't mind. I have two more sets at home, but they have too many patches on them, so I won't give them to you. I find them shabby myself."
