Spring scenery in the fields

Ji Wenhe looked up, and he looked at her seriously.

"Go home, I can do it myself. The sun will come out soon and it will be hot."

She didn't have many clothes and was wearing a cotton coat, so the summer dress was cold.

"I want to help you."

Shen Rongshan's expression became gentle, and his tone was also very soft: "Well, I know, but you are not well yet, you are weak, and you can't do strenuous work."

The doctor said that her body was too weak and she had suffered severe damage. If she was not taken good care of, she would probably die early in the future.

He didn't tell her, worried that she would be sad.

"Go ahead. There's not much grass in the field. I can finish it quickly."

After hearing this, Ji Wenhe slowly stood up and said, "Then I'll go back."

Shen Rongshan nodded: "Well, go ahead."

When he went back, he stood on the steps he had dug out and turned around to look.

He squatted on the ground, bent over, and exerted slight force, and pulled the weeds out of the ground.

There is dew in the early morning and the soil is softer, so weeding doesn't require much effort and the soil won't be exposed to the sun.

He looked away and walked up the stairs.

The two twins were called away by Shen Anguo. When they heard that a field of spring bamboo shoots had been discovered, they got up before dawn, carrying baskets.

The bamboo poles have been trimmed, leaving a place for handshakes in the middle, and are staggered with bracelets hanging on them.

Ji Wenhe planned to ask Shen Yuanshan to go around the villages outside the mountain tomorrow to see if he could sell one or two.

Put the thread into the basket, close the door, and go down the mountain to Aunt Lan's house.

Walking to the edge of the wasteland, I looked at his back and said, "Brother Shen, I'm going to Aunt Lan's house. I'll be back before dusk."

Shen Rongshan turned around: "Okay."

He looked at the departing figure until she walked into the yard, then he turned back and continued pulling weeds.

Lan Qiuhua's home.

Shen Suya stood at the door of the bedroom, smiling: "Sister-in-law, come in quickly, Dad has gone out of the village, Mom has gone to Aunt Zhang's house, I'm the only one at home, I'm very bored."

Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "Why don't you go find the little sisters in the village, or ask them to come to your house."

There are several girls in the village who are about her age, but their lives are not as good as hers.

Sometimes she would wonder if Aunt Lan loved her because she made money by making lace.

But looking at Aunt Lan's expression, it doesn't seem like that.

"Sister-in-law, come in and sit down." Shen Suya made the bed, "I don't want to go to their house."

"Aunt Zhang's husband loses his temper easily. He is scary when he gets angry. I am afraid."

"I went to see Aunt Li once. We were chatting and laughing when her husband suddenly grabbed her and slapped her directly on the face. There were five bright red finger marks and her face was swollen for several days."

"Aunt Wang doesn't like to talk. If I don't talk to her, she won't open her mouth. She looks anxious."

"There are other places, but I can't go anyway. If I go, my aunt will ask me how much money I make from knitting. She keeps asking me this and it makes me sick of it."

She was the fastest and best knitter in the village, and she was the only one who brought back silk threads to knit.

"Then let them come to you, otherwise you will be so bored alone."

The most common questions when visiting relatives in the previous life are where the person works, how much they earn a month, whether they have a boyfriend or not, etc. Almost no one can escape this.

Ji Wenhe took out the string from the basket and said, "I want to ask you for other styles. Just two will do."

"Okay, mom said the bracelet you made is very beautiful and she won't let me wear it outside."

"Why?" She was puzzled.

Shen Suya tilted her head and raised her innocent and romantic face to imitate her mother's words: "Mom said that others would ask, did you make this thing yourself? If it wasn't you, then who made it?"

"So it was made by Rongshan's wife. It's really beautiful. She's really good to you. This bracelet is so beautiful. I'm afraid it's not cheap to buy it."

"And then they would say that this Rongshan daughter-in-law doesn't know that money is good, and she's wasting money by buying things that she doesn't need or eat."

There were also some unpleasant words that she didn't say out loud, for fear that she would be unhappy to hear them.

"Mother said some aunts would be unhappy. Why give it to me? If not to their daughters, they would not let me wear it outside."

She pursed her lips, looking unhappy.

Ji Wenhe smiled and reached out to touch her head: "It's okay, if you like it, wear it out, and if you are asked, just say I made it."

Shen Suya raised her head: "What if they see you and come to you in a roundabout way?"

"Then give one to each person."

"what?"

How much will that cost?

"Sister-in-law, your bracelet costs three cents at the cheapest. If you give one to everyone, you will make a lot of money."

He chuckled and said, "You don't understand this."

"I don't understand, sister-in-law, please tell me."

Ji Wenhe sorted out the threads and said slowly, "I'm not giving it away for nothing. The aunts love to go out of the village to play, so just think of it as them helping me promote it."

"Some aunts' parents' homes are far away, and when they go back to visit their parents, if someone in the village sees the bracelet she is wearing, they will ask about it if they like it."

"This way, my business will come to me. I can't be sure that everyone will buy it, but with so many people, there will definitely be some who will buy it."

Shen Suya nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense."

Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "Okay, teach me a new style."

The gifts given to the villagers are naturally simple in style, which can not only build good relationships but also let them help with publicity.

If you buy more, it can be cheaper.

After noon, Shen Anguo came back and shouted at the gate: "Xiaoya, aren't your parents home?"

Shen Suya stood up and walked to the door: "I went out today and haven't come back yet. My sister-in-law is here."

Looking at the full basket of bamboo shoots in his hand, there were many small ones that had not yet grown up.

"Take it to the river to wash it, then come back and cut it into slices and dry it."

Ji Wenhe poked his head out: "An Guo, have Yuan Shan and Wen Shan returned?"

"Sister-in-law, they went home. We dug a lot of bamboo shoots today. We sliced ​​them and dried them in the sun while the weather was good."

Shen Anguo picked up the clean wooden barrel.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to the river to wash bamboo shoots. Xiaoya, please entertain me well."

Shen Suya waved her hand: "I know, go ahead."

"Xiaoya, this is all I'll learn today. I'll come back to ask you for advice another day."

"Sister-in-law, please stay a little longer."

Ji Wenhe smiled and shook his head: "I'll go back and help them cut bamboo shoots. I'll come and play with you another day."

Shen Rongshan should have gone back by now.

Shen Suya saw her off and said, "Okay, come when you're free."

"Hey, go back, I'm leaving."

She looked towards the wasteland, but there was no sign of him there.

When she reached the foot of the mountain, she saw two brothers coming down carrying bamboo shoots and wooden barrels, and they said to her with a smile.

"Look, sister-in-law, we dug two full baskets of bamboo shoots."

"That's amazing. Thank you for your hard work." Ji Wenhe gave them a thumbs up. "By the way, is your eldest brother home?"

Shen Wenshan nodded: "Yes."

When they returned, their eldest brother was already at home.

In the yard, Shen Rongshan turned over the quilt, heard footsteps behind him, turned around and saw that it was her who came back.
