Spring scenery in the fields

"No, these are useless. Aunt Li, you can do whatever you want with them. If you can't use them, just burn them."

Li Chunhong moved the basket to a corner: "Most of them are useless, but if you pick and choose, you can still find a few clothes to mend."

"Where are Mo Xin and the others? I didn't see the two sisters when I came in."

"I'm going to your Aunt Huang's house. Come, sit down, don't stand."

"No, Aunt Li, I just came to see if it's done. I'll send it over tomorrow."

"It's done, it's all done, don't worry, by the way, where is your second brother and sister-in-law?"

"She is embroidering purses at home."

"I don't think she comes out often. She's busy at home all day."

Ji Wenhe came under the eaves: "You're not familiar with me yet, but it will be fine once you get familiar with me. After all, I just got married and I need some time to adapt."

Turning around, he saw Shen Xiaoxian in the next room, leaning on a simple wooden stick, holding on to the door frame, and stepping over the threshold with difficulty.

She called out, "Uncle Xiaoxian."

He ignored her and went to the left, which was the direction of the toilet.

Li Chunhong said beside her: "Ignore him, he doesn't talk to anyone now."

Ji Wenhe turned back and said, "Aunt Li, you are busy now. I will go back now."

He walked to the yard and turned around again: "Why don't I move back, so I don't have to come here again tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll move it for you."

Putting the basket in the main room, and walking her out to the courtyard, Li Chunhong raised her hand and said, "Don't walk me off. It's just a short distance. Go get busy."

"Okay, Aunt Li, take care."

Back in the main room, looking at the finished cloth in the basket, he sighed, "I can't make money from you anymore. I feel a little reluctant when I think about it."

I made a lot of money by making puppets. If I were in a place like Beijing, I might be able to make more.

Ji Wenhe took an empty basket to the vegetable garden to pick broad beans. He found it troublesome to pick them one by one, so he simply pulled them up by the roots, placed them at the foot of the mountain, and sat on a rock to pick them slowly.

Because of regular watering with manure, the broad beans have grown bigger than last year.

Throw the peeled broad beans into the basket. This should be enough for a stir-fry.

"Sister-in-law, I'm picking broad beans."

Ji Wenhe turned around and saw Shen Qingdai coming down the mountain holding a branch. "Yes, I fried it for lunch. I haven't seen you for a while. Are you busy looking for a matchmaker?"

"Yes, I have already met two, but my mother didn't like them."

"Is it possible that these two families are not well off at home?

"Yes, there are few fields and many people at home. Mother said that I would not have a good life if I married there. She went to see Lin Yue Niang today."

"Mothers all want their daughters to marry into a good family. I think it will take a while for you to get married."

Shen Qingdai nodded: "Yes, when my brother was looking for a date, my mother showed me a few good families, but they wouldn't wait too long. Now when I ask around, I find out that they are already married and pregnant."

Ji Wenhe said filially: "I'm not in a hurry. I'll take my time to see you. Your family is not bad either. You will find a good family. Where is your sister-in-law?"

"My sister-in-law is embroidering at home."

"If you have time, take your sister-in-law to visit other people's houses, or go out for a walk. It's boring to stay in the house."

"My sister-in-law is quiet and doesn't like crowded places. She feels comfortable staying at home alone. Mother said she won't force her. She can do whatever she likes."

"That's true. By the way, is your sister-in-law pregnant?"

"She was pregnant. In the middle of the month, she kept vomiting and couldn't eat. I went to Zhaojia Village to find a doctor to check her pulse, and then he confirmed that she was pregnant."

Ji Wenhe joked: "Your family is very tight-lipped, no news was leaked."

Shen Qingdai smiled and said, "My family is busy. My mother is worried about me. My sister-in-law is pregnant now. My mother asked me to stay at home to take care of her. I have not come out and have not mentioned it to the villagers."

"Sister-in-law, I'm home, you are busy."

"it is good."

Ji Wenhe peeled the remaining broad beans and went home to prepare lunch.

In the afternoon, Shen Rongshan and I made steamed buns at home and sent six to the front desk.

Shen Yuanshan came back from selling goods. As soon as he entered the yard, he smiled and said, "Brother, I smell the scent of flower rolls."

Scallion flavor.

"It's in the pot. Wash your hands and take out the steamed buns. I'll go cook the pig food."

"Okay, where's your sister-in-law? She's gone to the front and will be back soon."

He nodded, washed his hands, and opened the lid of the pot. It was a mixture of black flour and white flour, most of which had some chili in it.

After getting used to eating spicy food, I still think it tastes better with chili.

Ji Wenhe came back from the front and saw him in the kitchen: "Yuanshan, let's eat here tonight. Everything is ready. Let's go to town early tomorrow morning. I'll deliver the goods then, and you go buy some more vegetable seeds."

Shen Yuanshan responded incoherently with a bun in his mouth.

The next morning, the two men moved the baskets into the car.

Li Chunhong came over with a basket on her shoulder: "Wen He, everything is packed, we can go now."

"It's ok Aunt Li, come up."

As soon as he jumped into the car and sat down, Zhao Sanniang called out from behind: "Wen He, Yuan Shan, wait a minute."

They looked back and saw her trotting towards them with the child in her arms.

Ji Wenhe said hurriedly: "Aunt Zhao, please go slowly, what do you want to bring?"

"Bring me three or four servings of pork, because we're out of oil at home. Also bring me half a pound of rice, because your uncle Ping forgot to buy it when he came back last time."

I came back in a hurry and only remembered it halfway.

"Okay, is that all?"

"Yes, that's all. I'll give you the money when I come back."

"Okay, I'll remember that. Let's go."

"Hey."

Zhao Sanniang watched the donkey cart go away before she went back with the child in her arms.

If you need anything at home in the future, you can come to them and bring it back. It will be cheaper there.

If Shen Ping went to the town to buy it himself, the price would not be cheap.

When they arrived in town, Shen Yuanshan sent her to the back alley of Jinxiufang: "Sister-in-law, I'll go buy some meat and rice. Wait for me at the entrance of Jinxiufang. I'll come pick you and Aunt Li up."

"okay, I get it."

Li Chunhong went to Jinxiufang from the front. She was going to hand in the knitted silk cords and purses.

After he left, Ji Wenhe knocked on the back door. After a long while, Yang Yun came to open the door.

"Wen He, you are here."

Seeing that her face looked a little strange, he asked, "What's wrong, Boss Yang? What happened?"

She sighed: "Come in first and I'll talk to you slowly."

Move the basket under the eaves and sit face to face.

Yang Yun first took out the money and gave it to her.

"It's nothing serious. It's still related to this business. Someone somehow found the county magistrate, and the county magistrate asked his aunt to come and test my opinion. So I definitely can't tell them the truth."

"You told me last time that you would stop doing it for the next two months. I told them that it would be done until the end of next month, but they still kept asking me who drew these patterns."

"The county magistrate's aunt came to my house a few days ago and asked me about you. My son happened to be there, and she also asked my son about you. Fortunately, my son has never seen you."
