Spring scenery in the fields

Ji Wenhe had never raised rabbits and knew very little about them, but he had eaten one twice in his previous life.

One time a colleague brought me here. The specialty of her sister-in-law's hometown is spicy rabbit meat. I tried a small piece and the meat was firm and didn't taste any different from other meats.

Another time I ordered takeout, and I don’t know if it was not cooked authentically, the meat was too firm and a little hard to chew, and the spiciness wasn’t very tasty either.

"Wen He, it's time to eat." Shen Rongshan put the bowl on the table and called out to the person who was still looking at the cage.

"Hey, here I come." Ji Wenhe closed the cage door, "Brother Shen, can you raise rabbits?"

"I know a little bit. I've heard people say that wild rabbits are easy to raise. Just feed them grass."

She nodded and lowered her head to eat.

After a while, he asked again, "After lunch, will you go and knock some stones?"

"Well, you can go to Aunt Lan's house and have someone to talk to you. I'm near home so I won't go too far."

Seeing that she hadn't eaten the cake, Shen Rongshan picked up one and handed it to her.

Ji Wenhe shook his head: "I ate a lot this morning, and I'm not too hungry now, so I don't want to eat cakes."

Looking at the hand holding the chopsticks, it seemed to have become a lot whiter.

"Brother Shen, do you think I am whiter than before?"

She herself felt a little whiter.

Shen Rongshan observed carefully and said honestly: "I am with you every day, but I didn't notice it. You can ask Aunt Lan and the others later."

I really didn't notice it, and I didn't want to lie to her.

"Don't stay in the sun. After a summer, your skin will turn pale again."

Ji Wenhe opened his palms, the backs of his hands were black and his wrists were white. This summer, he must cover himself up.

After dinner, I carried my things to Lan Qiuhua’s house.

When I walked to their door, I saw Shen Liuyun and Tao Xing'er talking against the wall outside.

I waved at them and it took me a while before I noticed her.

Shen Suya happened to come out and waved at her from behind: "Sister-in-law, please shout out. If you don't shout and just keep waving your hands, it will be difficult for them to find you."

Ji Wenhe touched his nose awkwardly and smiled: "I'm just afraid of disturbing others."

"It's broad daylight, what are you afraid of? Sister Liuyun is here."

Tao Xing'er did not follow her. She stood there, apparently waiting for her to come back, as she had something to say.

"Liuyun, the hairpins you want are ready. They are all in different styles. Take a look."

Ji Wenhe took out eight hairpins, each with a different kitten head color and eye color.

"It's really beautiful." Shen Liuyun took it, "Sister-in-law, they will definitely like it. How much is it?"

"One is three cents, two are five cents, count them as five cents, that's twenty cents in total."

If they want it themselves, we can sell it at a lower price. But for outsiders, we should just charge the normal price.

"Here, thank you, sister-in-law." She took out twenty cents from her purse and handed it to her.

"Thank you, I'll take it."

Shen Liuyun smiled and nodded: "You should accept it, sister-in-law, my mother is waiting for me, Xiaoya, I'm leaving now."

"Hey."

The two of them responded.

Tao Xing'er looked at the hairpin in her hand and asked in a low voice, "This hairpin is not valuable. Do your sisters-in-law like it?"

Shen Liuyun shook his head: "They don't like the hairpin. They think Li Nu is cute, so they go back and take it off and tie it on other hairpins."

"Then why don't you just let Rongshan's wife be a raccoon slave? She also made a hairpin. It looks to me like they cut it themselves, not like they bought it."

"Mom, I'm afraid my sister-in-law will think too much, so I just bought them all."

"It's up to you. The money has already been given."

The two talked outside for a while before returning home.

Zhangjiacun.

"Is Xiuhua at home?"

The person who came was dressed in coarse linen clothes, less than 40 years old, with a big black mole on her chin. This person was the mother of one of the two brothers of the Shen family, Zhao Chunmiao.

"I'm here." You Xiuhua came out from the house, "Chun Miao, why are you here? Come in and sit down."

"Is your Shuanzi feeling better?"

When she talked about this, she got angry: "No, I'm still lying in bed. I accidentally bumped into it a few days ago and couldn't sleep at night because of the pain."

He brought a small stool to her and asked, "Where's your Daqiang?"

Zhao Chunmiao sighed, "No, I told him many times not to cause trouble outside, but he didn't listen. Now he got beaten up and has no way to seek justice."

Zhang Daqiang is the only child in the family. He has been spoiled since he was young. He is given whatever he wants, and if he doesn't have it, they will do everything they can to get it for him.

"Xiuhua, you said that last time Liu Erfang was chased and hacked by his wife, he was so scared that he didn't dare to go?"

She is still waiting for her to come forward.

You Xiuhua had the same idea: "You know Liu Erfang. She is the only one who takes advantage of others. How can others get any benefit from her?"

"Just wait. If she forgets about them after a while, she will definitely come back to look for them."

"You see, the two twins came to our village to sell goods. They are doing peddler business. I asked around and they are one cent cheaper than in town."

Zhao Chunmiao nodded: "I know, I saw it. I wanted to buy a few kilograms of black flour from them, but when I thought about my son being beaten and letting them make money, I couldn't swallow that anger."

After thinking about it, I didn’t buy it.

Then he lowered his voice and said, "Xiuhua, how about we go to Liu Erfang's house and take a look?"

You Xiuhua rolled her eyes and said, "Let's go."

The two of them slowly came to Liu Erfang's house, where she was sorting wild vegetables in the yard.

Zhao Chunmiao said with a smile: "I'm picking wild vegetables. It's early for dinner. Are you going to cook so soon?"

"Come in and sit down." Liu Erfang brought out two small stools. "Get clean and tidy. There's nothing to do at home. You two are here together. Why are you two here?"

You Xiuhua said angrily, "I feel upset. Shen Rongshan's two twin brothers are going to various villages to sell goods. Look at the baskets. There are more than 100 kilograms. They will make a lot of money after selling them."

"I went with you last time, wanting to ask for an explanation, but who knew his wife was such a shrew and wouldn't listen to reason at all."

After saying this, he signaled to the people around him with his eyes.

Zhao Chunmiao understood: "Yes, it makes people angry when talking about it. Our child just beat up their brothers, but did not break their arms and legs. Shen Rongshan was too cruel."

"I am getting angrier and angrier at home. I can't let it go. Their family is getting better and better, but we are looking for doctors everywhere for the sake of our children. Why do you say that?"

Liu Erfang tore the wild vegetables apart with force, gritting his teeth and saying, "I definitely can't let this go. My son is the only child of the Zhang family. If they want to not pay a cent, I won't acknowledge him."

Looking at the anger on her face, the two men understood what was going on and added fuel to the fire before leaving with satisfaction.

After the two left, Liu Erfang's husband, Zhang Mazi, came out of the house and said, "Don't let them use you as a tool. They have bad intentions. Don't bother them."

"Zhang Mazi, what do you mean by that? Why do you want me to cause trouble for others?"

"Isn't Fugui your son? Look at how he was beaten. Is there any father like you? Am I looking for trouble? I'm seeking justice for my son."
