Spring scenery in the fields

Early in the morning, Shen Rongshan got up and took a walk on the mountain. There was no prey in the trap. It seemed that he had to set a few more traps in other places.

After returning home and cooking, the two brothers got up and reminded: "There are bracelets and hairpins on the table. Don't forget to take them with you when you leave. Do you know the price of the hairpins?"

Shen Yuanshan nodded: "Yes, I know, my sister-in-law told us."

While scooping water to wash, a man's voice rang out from outside the yard: "Is Rongshan home?"

"Yes." Shen Rongshan walked to the kitchen door, "Uncle Cong."

Shen Cong, Shen Liuyun's father.

He pushed open the gate with a smile on his face: "Uncle is here to ask you something. Liuyun is getting married tomorrow, and we don't have enough tables, chairs and benches at home. We have to borrow some from other villages."

It’s a big table, and few families in the village have one.

"I'll go after I finish my meal. Uncle will find someone to go with me. If I go alone, I'm afraid they won't lend me the money."

Shen Cong looked at the tall man in front of him. He had watched him grow up since he was a child and knew what kind of person he was.

In other words, people from other villages don’t understand him, so they are scared when they see the scar on his face.

"Okay, I'll let Tianshi take you there. Don't worry, take your time to eat. I still have a lot of things to do at home, so I'll go back first."

Before he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Shen Tianshi, his son.

Shen Rongshan responded and turned to see Ji Wenhe coming out of the house: "Wenhe, wash up and eat. I have to go to the headman's house to help today."

"I don't know when I can come back. If I come back early, I will go to the mountain to cut trees. If you don't want to stay at home alone, go to Aunt Lan's house."

I have to go to several villages to borrow it. I don’t know how many tables of people there will be in their house.

"Okay, there's no rush to build the shed. It doesn't matter if it's done a day earlier or later."

She took some water to the fence to wash, and asked curiously after entering the house.

"Shouldn't we hire a professional chef to cook? Or can we ask someone in the village who has good cooking skills to help?"

Shen Yuanshan picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of dried bamboo shoots. He had fried too much last night and didn't finish the food. "The headman will definitely hire a cook."

"The village head is marrying off his granddaughter to a son-in-law from the town, so the banquet cannot be shabby. He is also on good terms with several village heads outside the village. If the banquet is bad, people will talk about it for the rest of their lives."

Even if she didn't marry into the town, the banquet hosted by the head of the village would not be bad.

Shen Wenshan took over the conversation: "For example, when we hold a banquet, we don't have much money, so we look for people in the village who have good cooking skills to help cook."

Ji Wenhe asked: "The villagers help to cook, the host gives money, or it is just to help, and they don't want anything."

When a family member died in my previous life, the villagers came to help. They didn’t give me money, but they gave me a few extra packs of cigarettes.

"Those who have money give money, and those who don't have money give more candy, and no one will say anything."

She looked at Shen Rongshan: "That's great. The head of the village has a large family. In addition to the village and outside the village, I estimate that there will be more than a dozen tables. Are there so many people?"

"No, not all the villagers went. Most of the men went to the town to find work."

"For example, at Aunt Lan's house, only Aunt Lan would go. If Xiaoya is still young, five or six years old, I would take her along."

Ji Wenhe nodded.

After dinner, the two brothers left the village, and Shen Rongshan also went to the headman's house to help.

"Sister-in-law." Shen Suya pushed open the gate, "Sister-in-law, you..."

"I am here."

Seeing her coming out of the house, he ran up to her with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, I went to see Sister Liuyun. Her wedding dress is so beautiful. It was sent by her husband's family."

"There are also gold jewelry and jade bracelets. Seeing them makes me want to get married. Sister Liuyun is so happy. Many people go to see them."

Her mother said she would not take her with her tomorrow, so she thought of going to take a look today.

Ji Wenhe held a basket with half-made clothes in it: "Let's go to your house."

I went to the yard and picked up another basket filled with chopped wild vegetables.

"Aunt Lan is at home knitting."

Shen Suya took the basket of cloth from her hand and shook her head: "Mom went to Sister Liuyun's house to help with things."

She pouted and said, "I was thinking about having a feast, but mom said she wouldn't take me with her. I was so happy for nothing."

"The banquet hosted by the head of the village won't be bad. There will definitely be a lot of meat. We can't eat it anymore."

Ji Wenhe looked at her aggrieved expression, smiled and rubbed her head: "Tomorrow I will go with your eldest brother Rongshan, and two people from our family will go."

"Uncle Shen and An Guo are not at home. Aunt Lan went to their house to help with something. They won't say anything if I take you there."

"Come back tonight and talk to Aunt Lan and ask her to take you with her. Some families are afraid to go with more than two people."

Shen Suya hugged her arm and acted coquettishly: "Sister-in-law, go and talk to my mother."

"How can I tell your mother?" Ji Wenhe shook his head quickly, "I can't tell you, you have to tell your mother yourself."

"Okay, I'll ask my mother when she comes back in the evening."

The two came to the foot of the mountain.

"Xiaoya, wait for me for a moment. I'll feed the chickens."

"No hurry. Anyway, there's nothing to do when I get home. I'll just make silk brocade." Shen Suya looked in the direction of the headman's house. "It's really lively here."

Ji Wenhe grabbed some wild vegetables and scattered them on the ground. He turned around and saw a lot of people gathered in their house, talking and laughing.

"Sister-in-law, have you met Sister Liuyun's fiancé?"

"No, I seldom go down the mountain. Even if I do, it's to your house. The headman's house is in front. I've never seen him before."

"I heard from other aunts that Sister Liuyun's fiancé is handsome and they are a good match."

Shen Suya had never seen it before and was filled with curiosity. Since her mother wouldn't let her go tomorrow, she would go secretly to take a look.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know that Sister Liuyun has very high standards. She told us before that she wants to find a man who is good-looking, has a rich family, and loves her."

Ji Wenhe looked at the chicks that gathered around him, squatted down and said with a smile: "Don't we women all look for men like this when we get married?"

"Who would want to marry a man who is ugly, poor, and uncaring?"

It is hard to find someone who has good conditions in all aspects.

Then he thought of a question and turned to look at her: "Her husband is from the town. I heard from you that his family should be very rich. Will he find a concubine or aunt?"

Shen Suya tilted her head and thought for a while: "I don't know. The wealthy families in this town all have several concubines. If Sister Liuyun doesn't give birth to a son after she marries, she will definitely have one."

Ji Wenhe felt that the man really liked Shen Liuyun and would not marry a concubine for her.

However, how much affection can there be between two people on a blind date?

He stood up and walked out of the wasteland, closing the door behind him: "Let's go."

When walking towards her home, she kept looking in the direction of the village head's house. There were many faces she didn't recognize. They must be people from other villages who came to watch the fun.

Here, Shen Rongshan followed Shen Tianshi to another village to borrow tables, chairs and benches, and the two of them ran several times.

Because we are not sure how many people will come, we will set up two more tables.

The dishes for the banquet were bought by the host two days in advance. The aunts in the village helped wash and cut them the day before, and the chef came to cook them the next day.
