Spring scenery in the fields

Shen Suya took over the conversation: "There are a lot of gravels at the foot of the mountain, and it's not easy to lay the foundation, nor is it easy to grow vegetables."

"It's because the foot of the mountain is dangerous. When I was a kid, I heard from the elders that landslides occurred in some mountains and killed many people."

Therefore, few people are willing to choose a residential plot at the foot of a mountain.

Ji Wenhe wanted to buy a piece of land at the entrance of the village: "Aunt Lan, what do you think of the land at the entrance of the village?"

Lan Qiuhua raised her eyes and said, "Do you want to open a shop at the entrance of the village in the future?"

She nodded.

"No, it's too close to the exit. Unless you live in the shop at night and watch over it, someone will come and steal things."

"There's land and rocks all around. I think you should choose a good place in the village, open the shop in the front, and live in the back."

"Or you can buy two plots of land, build a shop on one side and live on the other. If someone comes to steal things, you can find out in time."

The land near the entrance of the village is not good, so it is not cost-effective to buy it. No one will want it when you want to sell it in the future.

Ji Wenhe listened to her and thought for a moment: "I opened the shop at the entrance of the village because I thought it would be convenient for them to go in and out to buy things."

There is no need to go around from the center of the village to the end of it.

Lan Qiuhua advised: "Why do you care about them? If they want to buy, do they care about walking a short distance? You have to think about yourselves."

"That vacant lot at the entrance of the village is not a good piece of land. Auntie doesn't want you to buy it. When you want to sell it, no one will buy it."

Shen Suya helped to persuade her: "Sister-in-law, just listen to my mother. My mother will not harm you."

Ji Wenhe nodded: "I understand, Aunt Lan, I will discuss this with Brother Shen when he comes back."

If you don’t buy it now, you’ll buy it later.

As the sun was setting, Shen Rongshan carried two baskets into the village and a basket on his back. He left early in the morning and came back early in the evening.

There were a few aunts sitting and chatting at their doorsteps. They stretched their necks curiously as they watched him carry two baskets into the village.

One of them was puzzled: "What is Shen Rongshan carrying? It looks very heavy."

"I can't see it. It's covered with a cloth."

"A few days ago, I saw Shen Wenshan carrying a basket and going out. He came back around noon. I don't know what he did outside the village. He looked so mysterious."

"Hey, just shout and ask."

"If you want to ask, then ask. I won't. His face scares me. I don't dare to ask."

Several people's eyes followed his figure.

"Why did he go to Lan Qiuhua's house? Did he buy something for them?"

Two women stood up and stood on tiptoe to look over there.

Shen Rongshan stood at the door carrying a basket: "Aunt Lan, is Wen He at your house?"

She said she would come to Aunt Lan to make clothes today. It was not dark yet, so she thought she should still be there, so she came over to ask and go home together.

When Ji Wenhe heard the voice, she immediately put down her needlework and ran out the door, while Lan Qiuhua joked behind her.

"Look how anxious you are. We haven't seen each other for half a day. If someone didn't know, they would think you haven't seen each other for a month or two."

She had no other intentions, she just wanted to ask if everything was going well. Her meaning was misunderstood, so she didn't open her mouth to explain.

Shen Rongshan looked at the person running out, his gentle eyes fixed on her: "Run slowly, don't fall."

"Brother Shen, how is it going? Have you bought everything?"

“Yes, I bought it back.”

I talked to my boss and everything went well.

Lan Qiuhua saw a few people not far away looking at them curiously, and her eyes turned: "Rongshan, Auntie buys two pounds of black flour."

After saying that, he took out six cents from his purse and handed them to Ji Wenhe.

She didn't answer it, but took two steps back and looked at Shen Rongshan.

"Aunt Lan, I'm not home. Thanks to you for taking care of Wenshan and the others. I can't repay you for your kindness. We can't accept this money."

"What kind of favors are there? We live in the same village, so we should help each other. Besides, your parents have always taken good care of our family."

Lan Qiuhua stepped forward and tried to put the money in his hand.

Shen Rongshan pushed her arm: "Aunt Lan, I..."

Before he could finish his words, she interrupted him: "Listen to me, accept it. I will buy things from you often in the future, you can't refuse every time."

"If you don't accept it, I would rather go to town than buy anything from you. Take it and don't make your aunt unhappy."

Shen Suya watched from behind: "Brother Rongshan, just accept it. If you don't tell us, we will feel uneasy and uncomfortable eating."

Seeing that he still stepped back and refused to take the money, she simply took the money from her mother's hand, ran straight to Ji Wenhe, and forcefully stuffed the money into her arms.

"Sister-in-law, you are not allowed to refuse. If you continue like this, my mother and I will be unhappy."

She hugged her arms and acted coquettishly.

"I like my sister-in-law, and I want to go visit her. Our two families should get along well and not have conflicts."

Lan Qiuhua smiled and said, "Yes, if you don't accept it, I won't talk to you anymore, and you don't have to come to my house anymore."

Ji Wenhe was helpless and looked at Shen Rongshan, only to see him nod.

"Then...we will accept it without hesitation."

"Oh, you're so polite."

You have to pay for buying and selling things. You can't not collect money just because of the relationship between the two parties.

Lan Qiuhua smiled and took out a spoon for scooping noodles from the house, and took out a cloth bag that could hold two kilograms at a time: "Come on, Rongshan, put it in here."

Ji Wenhe took it and scooped a full bag: "Aunt Lan, when the other aunts come over and ask about it, just tell them directly."

She never took the initiative to tell the villagers, and it felt weird.

You can't just catch someone and say, "We sell noodles, come to us to buy noodles from now on."

She felt it would be better to let someone else say it.

"That's what I was thinking. Rongshan is carrying two large baskets and a basket on his back into the village. If they see him, they will definitely come to ask me about it."

Lan Qiuhua asked him to buy noodles, firstly because her family really needed it, and secondly, she also had this intention.

If the young couple could live a good life, she would be happy too.

Shen Suya glanced at the aunts out of the corner of her eye: "They can't wait any longer. They're probably dying of curiosity."

Several people were indeed curious.

"That's black noodles, right? Lan Qiuhua even gave them money, it doesn't look like she bought them for her."

"I see that basket is full of black noodles. Could it be that they bought it and sold it? Aren't they selling bracelets?"

"What's the point of guessing here? We can go and ask them after they leave. If they really sell black noodles and it's cheaper than in town, we can buy it from them in the future."

"There haven't been peddlers in the village for many years. When life gets better, I guess there will be peddlers coming to our village."

"Hey, hey, they're gone. Let's go take a look."

"Don't worry, they haven't gone far yet. Let's wait until they walk up the mountain before we go over."

"What are you afraid of? If we find out, we're not doing anything bad. If you don't go, then I will."

"Hey, wait a minute, let's go together."
