Spring scenery in the fields

The strip of cloth was a little short, and there was no hole for her hairpin, so it couldn't be hung in at all.

Ji Wenhe held his chin in his hand and hesitated: "You can hang it on the key, or on your hand."

It doesn't look good when hung on a hairpin, with a strip of cloth left on it. The jade thread here doesn't seem to be cheap.

Oh, how could she have forgotten that there were twine of various colors at home.

But thinking about buying new fabrics and the cost of manual production, Sanwen couldn't make any money at all.

"Ugh."

The two people next to her looked at her.

Lan Qiuhua asked: "What's wrong? You're sighing at such a young age."

"I'm worried. It's so hard to make money."

Shen Rongshan earned a few taels of silver from hunting, and he felt secure, but he couldn't rely on hunting forever.

"Why worry? Money is hard to make. If it were easy to make money, we would have delicious food and live in a big house."

"Your family Rongshan is capable, and you are not bad either, you can think of ways to make money. Don't be impatient, you have to take your time."

Lan Qiuhua took the silk thread, helped to make the looper, and continued.

"Look at those people who have no skills. They can't find work in town. No one wants them, so they can only farm at home."

"During famine, our family was even more hungry. We had to eat one meal a day and tighten our belts. In comparison, our lives are much better."

Ji Wenhe joked: "Sister-in-law, we can't compare ourselves with the bad ones. We have to compare ourselves with the good ones. Only by comparing ourselves with the good ones can we be motivated."

"That's right." Shen Suya glanced at her mother. "Mom always says that other people's children don't have enough food to eat, don't have pocket money, and don't wear clothes as good as mine."

"Why don't you compare yourself with the rich people in this town? Look at how much gold and silver they wear. I can never buy the gold bracelets on their hands in my lifetime."

"Let alone this life, I can't even afford it in the next life, the next life, or even all three lives combined."

Lan Qiuhua reached out and hit her arm in annoyance: "Your parents don't have the ability. If we did, I would make you an arm full of gold bracelets."

Ji Wenhe laughed beside him: "It must be so heavy that Xiaoya might not be able to leave the house. She can't even lift her arms."

She replied with a smile: "I bring one every day, and it's a different one every day."

"Look at you, carrying one every day." Lan Qiuhua laughed, "It's broad daylight, and you're dreaming before you even go to sleep."

Shen Suya snorted softly: "I can't dream about it in my dreams, can't I think about it during the day?"

"Okay, okay, you can think whatever you want."

As they were talking and laughing, a man came outside the yard.

"Is Sister Qiuhua at home?"

Lan Qiuhua quickly put down the silk ribbon in her hand and said, "Yes, in the room."

After she left, Ji Wenhe asked in a low voice, "Who's here?"

She had never heard that voice before.

"It's Aunt Miao. His son is called Shen Liang. He's 19 years old and still hasn't found a wife. He's the only bachelor in our village."

"You're only nineteen, you're not considered a bachelor."

Shen Suya stretched her head and looked outside the door: "It's hard to find a partner after 18, and you're considered single when you're 19. If your family is poor, matchmakers won't even look for someone to date."

Ji Wenhe nodded in understanding.

Lan Qiuhua came to the courtyard and said, "Come in and talk. Wen He, Xiao Ya, and I are making silk lace together."

"Wen He?" Miao Zhaodi looked at the person who came out of the house, "It must be Rongshan's wife, right?"

She didn't like crowds and only looked from afar when people entered the village.

"Hey, it's my aunt."

The person who came was wearing a crimson purple dress, her brows were full of sorrow, she had an ordinary appearance and a pair of big earlobes.

Lan Qiuhua introduced: "Wen He, this is your Aunt Tian."

Then he looked at the person opposite him and said, "Come on, go inside and sit down, don't stand outside."

Miao Zhaodi smiled and followed her into the house.

The two of them went to the master bedroom, but Ji Wenhe did not follow them.

"Xiaoya, does Aunt Miao only have one son?"

Shen Suya whispered, "Brother Liang has another child. Aunt Tian was pregnant for about two months. She went to work in the fields and lost the baby."

"Not long after that, I became pregnant with Brother Liang. I had a difficult birth and finally gave birth to him safely, but my body was injured and I can no longer have children."

She couldn't help but ask, "Is it because your body wasn't properly taken care of when you lost your first child?"

"It seems so. The child is gone. He took two doses of medicine and went to work in the fields the next day."

Ji Wenhe frowned unconsciously: "The miscarriage is equivalent to a small confinement period. She went to work in the fields the next day, and her husband didn't stop her."

Shen Suya shook her head: "I don't know, I just heard it from my mother and other aunts."

She probably understood why she looked so worried. She had given birth to a child with great difficulty, but the child still couldn't find a wife at the age of nineteen. How could she not be worried?

In the master bedroom.

Lan Qiuhua asked her to sit on the kang and asked, "Sister Miao, what do you want to talk to me about? Just tell me and I will definitely help if I can."

"It's nothing serious. I just came to ask if your Anguo is home and when he will go to town to find a job."

"Oh, you should have come earlier. My Anguo and his father left this morning. They originally wanted to wait until we go to the market, but they were afraid they wouldn't be able to find work, so they wanted to go earlier."

After finishing my work at home, I can't stay at home during my free time. I have to go to town to find odd jobs.

"Your Shen Liang is at home. If he wants to go to town to find a temporary job, he can go tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow when there is a market."

Tian Zhaodi sat on the kang, hunched over: "I thought about going with the villagers so that we can take care of each other."

Since the other person has already left, there is nothing we can do but let his son go alone.

"Why not let your son go to town early tomorrow morning? He can find a good job if he goes early."

Lan Qiuhua didn't expect that she would come, so she went to the town to find a job sooner rather than later.

"Sister Miao, I see that you are not as energetic as before. Don't be so sad all day. Some things are useless to worry about. It's the same in my family."

Their family's situation was even more difficult than hers. Shen Liang's father was building a house for someone else and fell down and broke his leg, but luckily he survived.

But you can't walk long distances or do heavy work.

Miao Zhaodi sighed deeply: "I know."

This is not something she can control. How can she not be worried when her son can't find a wife?

"Sister Qiuhua, you are busy at home. I am going back now. I will come back another day."

Lan Qiuhua saw her off: "Okay, come to my house and talk when you're free. Bye."

After seeing her off, he returned to Shen Suya's room.

"Mom, why did Aunt Miao come to see you?"

"Ask your brother if he has gone to town. I want Shen Liang to go with your brother."

"Oh, if she had come yesterday, she could have gone with Big Brother today."

Ji Wenhe picked up the kitten's head on the table and said, "Aunt Lan, Xiaoya, I'm going home. I'll think about it and come back another day."

Shen Suya smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, take care. I won't get out of bed to see you off."

"No, just weave the silk quickly."

"Aunt Lan, don't see me off. I'm leaving now."

"Hey, slow down."
