Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

The sun set in the west, its dazzling light faded away, and the door of the academy opened.

Yao Qingnian spotted Yinuo in the crowd at a glance, with a smile on his face.

Although the shop was just opposite the academy, this was his first time going to school, so Yao Qingnian still picked him up at the academy gate.

On the way back, Yinuo asked, "Mom, why didn't you ask me what I did on my first day at the academy?"

Yao Qingnian smiled and said, "Then tell me, what did you do in the academy today?"

Yinuo looked at Yao Qingnian with a burning gaze: "I have met many friends in the academy, and the teacher is also very friendly."

Yinuo kept chattering about what happened in the academy today.

The next day, the shop was still crowded with people. People ordered a cup of iced milk tea, read a book, and enjoyed the coolness, which was extremely comfortable.

Having not been home for several days, Yao Qingnian decided to go back to the village. After taking care of things in the shop and applying a thick layer of sunscreen, Yao Qingnian dared to go out only after he was fully armed.

When I arrived at the old place in the village, Uncle Zhong was waiting under a tree. The scorching sun was burning the earth and midsummer was coming quietly.

"Uncle Zhong!"

"Qing Nian, I haven't seen you for a long time! It's hot, come here quickly!"

There was still some time before they returned to the village, so Uncle Zhong waved for her to come over and sit for a while. He took out a teapot from the ox cart and poured a bowl of cold tea for Yao Qingnian.

"It's so hot, maybe there will be fewer people coming into the city?"

"That's right. Everyone is at home. Except for going to the city to buy food or something, we don't go out if we can."

Yao Qingnian looked at the ox cart. The ox pulling the cart had been trained, and was fat and strong, with forward-bent horns, wide-open eyes, and steady limbs. There were simply a few benches on the cart at the back.

"Uncle Zhong, it's so hot, you're driving your bullock cart back and forth like this, it's easy to get sunstroke!"

"Alas, what can I do? I am the only ox cart in the village. If I don't go, everyone else will have to walk. A round trip would probably not take a day.

Besides, there are so many people in my family who depend on my old friend for their livelihood!"

Uncle Zhong patted the cow gently and added a handful of grass and water to the cow.

"I have a way to keep everyone out of the sun!"

Yao Qingnian thought for a moment and said.

"What can we do?"

"Let's install a carriage on the ox cart! You see, horse carriages have carriages, so we can do the same with ox carts!"

"You have a point, but it takes a lot of time and money to make a carriage, and we don't have that kind of money."

Uncle Zhong knew that a carriage was a good thing, as it was protected from the rain and the sun. But it cost at least one or two taels of silver to build a carriage, and it only cost a few cents for one person to go into the city and back. He could not afford to buy one with the money he earned.

"I have a simple idea. Instead of making a carriage, I can just make a simple frame and hang a curtain on it. I can put it up when it's hot and take it down when it's not."

Yao Qingnian's inspiration came from the parasol on a modern electric scooter. In order to make it easier to go out, she bought an electric scooter. She preferred riding it rather than driving a car, but it was inconvenient when it rained, so she installed a parasol. Later, because it was unsafe, it was removed by the police, and she never installed it again.

"There's still this good stuff?"

"Of course. I'll draw a blueprint for you and you can find someone to do it and give it a try."

Yao Qingnian took out paper and charcoal from the space and began to draw. He made sockets on the four corners of the ox cart to secure it firmly, and then installed a suitable pole. Finally, he sewed a curtain and installed it on the pole. A simple canopy was made, and it was stable and easy to disassemble.

"This shed is well painted. I'll try to make it when I get back and see if it works."

Uncle Zhong took the drawing with joy, looked at it again and again, and then put it carefully in his arms.

The time was almost up and villagers began to arrive one after another.

"What are you guys talking about? You look so happy!"

There was a woman next to Aunt Yuan Ping who was still pregnant and was supported by her and slowly walked over. Yao Qingnian lent a hand and helped the woman sit on the ox cart.

"It's nothing! Aunt Yuan, why is your daughter-in-law going out with such a big belly?" Yao Qingnian asked.

The pregnant woman lowered her head shyly and didn't say anything. Aunt Yuan said, "My daughter-in-law is feeling a little unwell today. She still has some time to give birth. So, just in case, I'll bring her to the city to see a doctor."

Aunt Yuan's daughter-in-law is a bit introverted and doesn't like to talk to people.

"Is this your daughter-in-law's first child?" an aunt echoed.

"Yes!" Aunt Yuan nodded and said softly, unable to hide the joy on her face. This was the first grandson in their family, and he was like a baby.

"Your daughter-in-law has been married to you for so many years, and she finally got pregnant. You have to be careful."

When Yao Qingnian heard this, he almost laughed out loud. These words really made him speechless. Although they were not meant to be sarcastic, they hurt people's hearts and made people feel unhappy.

Aunt Yuan's face was visibly unhappy, but she ignored it. The woman next to her was embarrassed to begin with, and after hearing this, her face turned red like an apple, and she buried her head in embarrassment and said nothing.

Over the years, my mother-in-law has always been very good to me and told me not to care about other people's opinions. Even so, there is always gossip in the village.

Fortunately, her belly was doing well. She was pregnant with her first child, and her family was very careful. But now that the birth was imminent, she felt uneasy. She woke up in the morning and felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. When her mother-in-law and her husband heard about it, they insisted on taking her to the city to see a doctor.

When her husband wanted to go to bed, his mother-in-law brought him here. After seeing the doctor, he said there was no problem. The boy was rather naughty and was playing with the umbilical cord in her belly. The doctor told her to stay at home and not go out for the time being.

When Aunt Yuan heard that it was a big fat boy, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She thanked the doctor, took her daughter-in-law for a walk in the city, and bought some things for the baby and confinement, including cloth, sugar, etc.

"We have to be careful. The doctor said this is a big fat boy, our first grandchild."

Aunt Yuan said happily.

"Congratulations!" The aunts in the village sent their blessings one after another.

"Thank you everyone!" She always had a smile on her face.

When everyone was gathered, the ox cart was heading back to the village. When it reached a mountain road, the cart suddenly started to shake. The mountain road was already rugged, and the people on the cart did not take it seriously.

But something was not right as they walked. The ox suddenly started running out of control. The villagers sitting on the ox cart were caught off guard by this sudden change. Uncle Zhong asked everyone to sit still. He was trying hard to control the stability of the ox cart...
