Spring scenery in the fields

Ji Wenhe sat on the bed with his knees bent, wrapped tightly in the quilt, looking at the two people who came in one after another, his eyes falling on the tall Shen Rongshan.

He was indeed very tall, estimated to be about 1.9 meters tall. Unlike the two skinny brothers next to him, he was stocky, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was tall and sturdy.

He was wearing a grey jacket with several patches on it, his skin was bronze and he looked a bit aggressive.

There was a scar on the right side of his cheek, running from the corner of his eye to his chin. The scar looked quite hideous, and his black eyes looked at her expressionlessly.

The four of them were silent.

Ji Wenhe swallowed his saliva and said softly: "I..."

Before he could finish his words, his stomach growled, which was particularly loud in the quiet cave.

She was hungry, weak and cold.

Shen Rongshan said nothing and turned and left.

Staring blankly at the departing figure, what...what does this mean, coming back without saying a word to her?

As far as he could remember, he didn't seem to be forced to marry the original owner.

No, in that case, if he didn't marry her, the original owner would have a miserable end.

"Sister-in-law, my brother has gone to the kitchen to cook for you."

Shen Yuanshan was very good at observing people's expressions and could tell what she was thinking at a glance and speak out at the right time.

Ji Wenhe looked at them. The two twins were standing together. They couldn't be distinguished from each other by their faces, but they could be seen from their eyes.

Shen Wenshan seemed to be a shy person. When he saw her looking at him, he turned his head away embarrassedly.

Shen Yuanshan is lively, loves to laugh and talks a lot.

She nodded and asked, "When did your eldest brother come back?"

"My eldest brother came back five days ago. For three years, we have been looking forward to his safe return every day. The villagers said that my eldest brother would not come back and died..."

He died on the battlefield, but they didn't believe it and always firmly believed that their eldest brother would come back.

Shen Yuanshan sniffed, his face showing anger: "Now that my elder brother is back, those people shut up and don't wish my elder brother well."

Ji Wenhe asked in confusion: "Do the villagers exclude you?"

Shen Wenshan nodded: "Well, my family lived a good life before. My eldest brother learned hunting skills from a hunter, and the villagers were jealous."

"Later, my eldest brother was taken away to serve as a soldier, leaving only me and Yuanshan at home. He treated us well on the surface and smiled when we met, but he was secretly happy behind our backs."

They heard it from others, and also heard it with their own ears.

Ji Wenhe understood. Some people dislike you for being poor and are afraid of you for being rich. There are always some people who can't stand others being better off and will step on them when they are down.

"Don't take it to heart. Just live your life behind closed doors. The more you pay attention to them, the more excited they will be."

The two nodded silently, and when they heard the noise behind them, they turned around and saw their eldest brother holding the boiled eggs in his hands. They swallowed unconsciously.

Those were sent by Aunt Lan’s family. There were two eggs in total, but I couldn’t bear to eat them.

The two brothers returned to their own cave and stayed there, half-closed the door to let in some light so that people inside the cave could see them.

Shen Rongshan stood in front of her holding a bowl and said, "Drink it."

His voice was low and without any emotion in it.

Ji Wenhe took it. The bowl was very hot and warmed her cold hands.

"Thank you."

Drink it in small sips. I used to drink it with eggs when I was a child. Drink it while it's hot. It tastes especially fishy when it's cold.

My stomach felt warm and the coldness in my body was slowly dispelled. After finishing a bowl, my body felt much warmer and I felt like all the cells in my body were revived.

After she finished drinking, Shen Rongshan took the empty bowl, looked down at her, was silent for a moment, and said: "I know you have no choice. When you want to leave one day, I won't stop you."

"The head of the village said that it will take five days to get the identity document. With the document, no one can stop you from going anywhere you want. What's your name?"

Ji Wenhe looked up in surprise. It turned out that they didn’t even know their names.

She wanted to say He Xiaocui, but changed her words: "Ji Wenhe, Ji for season, Wen for warm water, and He for seedlings."

The original owner’s parents and younger brother are nowhere to be found, so it’s better not to use the original owner’s name to avoid them looking for him in the future.

It’s better not to have parents like that.

"Well, you take a rest. I'll go talk to the head of the village."

He turned around to leave, but Ji Wenhe stopped him immediately.

Shen Rongshan still had an expressionless face, without any extra emotional fluctuations.

"I......"

She wanted to say that she was not full and was still very hungry.

But when I think about their bare house, I’m afraid they don’t even have much to eat.

He shook his head, pulled the quilt tightly around him, and said timidly, "Nothing."

Seeing this, Shen Rongshan left the house.

Ji Wenhe breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the door close.

He was too oppressive. Perhaps because I had been on the battlefield before, I didn't dare to breathe heavily in front of him.

The two twins followed him out and came to the small kitchen built into the cave.

"Brother, my sister-in-law is awake. Should we ask the doctor to take a look at her?" Shen Yuanshan asked.

There were two packets of medicine for treating colds in the shabby cupboard. Because she was unconscious, she couldn't drink one bowl of the medicine, so the remaining two packets were put there, otherwise she would not be able to finish it and would throw it away and waste it.

Shen Rongshan took out a packet of medicine and said, "Make it ready and bring it to her. I'm going to go to the village head's house."

Shen Wenshan took the medicine and said, "Well, don't worry, brother. We will take good care of your sister-in-law."

The two men were thin and only as tall as his chest.

I hadn't seen them for three years. When I returned home, I found that they were living a hard life and were very thin. I felt sad.

He touched their heads with a gentle look in his eyes: "Well, I'll be back soon."

After boiling the medicine, go inside to call for help.

"Sister-in-law, drink the medicine. You will get better soon."

Ji Wenhe did not lie down, but remained sitting, wrapped in two quilts. His mind was wandering away, and he only came back to his senses when he heard their voices.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Shen Wenshan touched the back of his head shyly: "It's not hard. You are my eldest brother's wife, our sister-in-law, and I should take care of you."

"Sister-in-law, the medicine is bitter. Drink it in one gulp and rinse your mouth with some water."

The medicine was indeed bitter, even bitterer than the bitter melon she had eaten, and she almost vomited it out.

Shen Yuanshan quickly handed her the bowl of warm water: "The doctor said that good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. I have one more dose of medicine. You can drink two more tomorrow."

After drinking the warm water, the bitter taste in my mouth was diluted: "Is there any hot water? I want to drink some hot water."

I'm hungry and it's cold, and I'm afraid the only thing I can drink at home is hot water.

"Yes." Shen Yuanshan turned around with a smile and said as he walked, "I've cooked half a pot. I'll go get a bowl for my sister-in-law."

Ji Wenhe smiled and thanked him, leaning weakly against the wall behind him: "Wenshan, how old are you?"

"You don't have to thank me, sister-in-law. We are a family. Yuanshan and I are fourteen years old, and my eldest brother is seventeen."

Farmers get married early, at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Only wealthy families in the city will wait for two more years, until the age of seventeen or eighteen, before discussing marriage.

This body was fifteen years old, one year older than them.

"Your eldest brother has been away from home for three years. Has he never written to your family or contacted you in these three years?"

I remember he said that there was a rumor in the village that Shen Rongshan died on the battlefield.

Shen Wenshan shook his head: "No, my brother said he couldn't write a letter."
