Spring scenery in the fields

"Her husband's family is rich and is an official in town. Liuyun doesn't despise you, but her husband's family may not. In the future, you should go to Shen Liuyun less often."

"Oh, I know."

Seeing her pouting and unhappy look, Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "Wait until she comes back, go talk to her, don't stay too long."

"Once you marry someone, you belong to another family. Sister Liuyun won't be able to stay for long after she comes back, and there's no place for her to live in their house."

Shen Suya looked at her room.

"Mom, please keep my house for me. When I get married and want to come back, I can still live there."

Lan Qiuhua picked up the needle and thread: "Then you have to see if your sister-in-law agrees. Your eldest brother is married. Find a good girl. If she agrees, she will keep her for you. If she doesn't agree..."

Seeing that the little girl was about to cry out of grievance, Ji Wenhe quickly spoke up to stop her from continuing: "Let's talk about the future later. Your brother loves you so much, he will definitely leave it for you."

"By the way, Aunt Lan, Brother Shen is going to borrow a donkey cart to go to town in a couple of days. Does your family have anything to bring?"

Lan Qiuhua looked up and asked, "Are you planning to bring more goods back by borrowing the donkey cart to go to town?"

"Yes, running back and forth like this is a waste of time and makes people tired. It's better to buy more goods at a time."

"Aunt Lan, can we leave the incoming goods at your house? It's tiring to carry them up."

I will go back in the evening and discuss with Shen Rongshan how much goods to import.

"Okay, An Guo isn't at home, I've kept the room very clean, put it on the table in his room, or on the floor, there's a basket, so it won't get dirty."

Shen Suya was still unhappy about what happened just now, and said angrily: "Sister-in-law, bring me three meat buns."

Ji Wenhe didn't answer in a hurry, but glanced at the person opposite him first.

Lan Qiuhua knew she was angry: "Wen He, ask Rongshan to bring back two meat buns."

"No, I want three."

"You pay for three, and I'll pay for two." Then he added, "You can eat both."

Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "Aunt Lan, you are her mother. How could Xiaoya eat two meat buns by herself? Of course, each of them should have one."

There are three meat buns, she wants to eat two herself and give one to her mother.

If you're not angry, one and a half per person.

Shen Suya said angrily: "I want three. I will eat three by myself and not give you any."

Lan Qiuhua had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, okay, buy three, I'll pay, you go inside and get the money."

After she left, he sighed softly.

"A married girl belongs to someone else. The daughter-in-law makes the decisions about family affairs, and you have to obey her."

"I want to keep a room for her to live in when she comes back, but if my daughter-in-law disagrees, I can't force her, lest An Guo and his wife quarrel and disturb the peace of the family."

"And when An Guo has a child, it will naturally be necessary to provide a place for the child to live. Our family does not have that much money to build an extra room."

Ji Wenhe opened his mouth and changed his words as he prepared them: "Aunt Lan, talk to your daughter-in-law about it later. Maybe she will agree."

No matter how much you love your daughter, your son is ultimately more important.

She shouldn't interfere too much in other people's affairs.

Lan Qiuhua nodded and said nothing more.

Shen Suya came in with the money and handed it to her: "Sister-in-law, here you go."

Ji Wenhe took it and put it in his purse: "Don't you have anything else to take?"

"No, I'll buy food from your house, there's no shortage at other places."

Her husband and son were not at home, so she bought noodles but ate them slowly.

As they were talking, Shen Rongshan's voice rang out from outside the courtyard: "Wen He."

Ji Wenhe put down his needle and thread and walked into the yard in confusion. Seeing Shen Liuyun standing next to him, he became even more confused.

"Brother Shen, Liuyun."

"Sister-in-law." Shen Liuyun looked at the two people following behind her, "Aunt Lan, Xiaoya."

"Hey, Liuyun is back. Why is she here?" Lan Qiuhua was puzzled. What could she do to come to their house?

Shen Rongshan explained: "She came to you to buy a hairpin."

"Yes, sister-in-law, my sisters-in-law like it very much, so they asked me to come to you to buy a few."

He said he was buying it, but actually he asked her to give it to him.

In order to maintain a good relationship with her sisters-in-law, she didn't care about these few cents.

"Liuyun, the hairpins are not ready yet, how many do you want?"

Aunt Lan has just embroidered a pair of eyes and hasn't sewed them on yet.

There are bamboo leaf balls, and a lot of them rolled up a few days ago.

"I want eight."

Ji Wenhe was surprised: "So many."

Shen Liuyun nodded: "Three elder sisters-in-law and five nieces, one for each."

Her mother-in-law felt that she was too old and it was not appropriate for her to wear it.

"You have to wait until the afternoon. We haven't finished the work at home. We're out of lilac fabric. We can use different fabrics. We'll still have to make the same thing."

"Make something different and let them choose for themselves. I will go back at the beginning of the day. Will I be able to do it well then?"

Ji Wenhe looked at Lan Qiuhua beside her and said, "Yes."

You don't have to wait until Wei time to get it done.

Shen Liuyun smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll come back at 3 p.m. Aunt Lan, sister-in-law, Xiaoya, I'm going back first."

"Hey, walk slowly."

"Wen He, I'm going back. I'll go home for lunch and wait for you." Shen Rongshan said.

"Okay." She had to hurry up and sew the kitten's head.

The bamboo leaf ball was at home, so he ran back to get it.

Lan Qiuhua was sitting beside the bed, and heard the visitor gasping, "Why rush? We can finish it before noon."

Ji Wenhe took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid it's too late."

"There's enough time."

Shen Suya was knitting beside her: "Mom, Sister Liuyun's clothes are so beautiful, they are made of silk, right?"

"It should be. I can tell at a glance that the material is expensive. I didn't look closely at what it was made of."

Shen Liuyun was wearing a red dress, a jade hairpin on her head, and jade bracelets on her hands. She looked a little simpler than when she got married, but her temperament was still the same.

Ji Wenhe could see that Shen Liuyun was very happy, they were newlyweds, and were in great love with each other. She hoped that the man would treat her better and better.

I finished making the hairpin at noon and then packed up to go home.

I walked up the mountain carrying the basket, saw the white smoke rising from the chimneys, hummed a little tune, and felt very happy.

Shen Rongshan was burning a fire behind the stove. Hearing the sound of a folk tune outside the house, he looked at the kitchen door with a smile on his face.

"Brother Shen, I'm back. Everything is ready. I'm just waiting for her to pick it up."

Ji Wenhe put the basket on the bench and sat aside.

"Brother Shen, have you finished making the rabbit cage?"

There was a rectangular wooden cage in the yard, which was one and a half meters long and almost one meter wide. It was divided into two spaces in the middle and was very large.

"The rabbit cage is simple. I'll go to the headman's house this afternoon to borrow a hammer."

Ji Wenhe came to the cage and shook his hand. It was quite strong. "Brother Shen, why is there a partition in the middle?"

Shen Rongshan took out the unburned firewood from the bottom of the stove and said, "Master caught three rabbits, two males and one female."

"I know. You said so."

"You can't keep two males and one female together. The males will fight over territory."

He came out with the smoking wood and doused the sparks with water.

"Separate the two males and mate one with the female rabbit."
