The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Seeing the couple so enthusiastic, Zhang gave up the idea of ​​going home. She peeled another grape and put it into Huer's mouth, and asked him with a smile.

"Is it tasty?"

Hu Er nodded quickly, "It's delicious and sweet. Grandma, try it too."

Zhang smiled lovingly.

"Grandma will taste it later. I'll go help your uncle peel the persimmons first. You just be good."

Hu Er nodded, "Okay."

Song Yuntang squatted under the eaves and sorted out the herbs he had picked from the mountains one by one.

Chrysanthemums and honeysuckle were placed directly in bamboo plates in a ventilated place.

A small bunch of Polygonatum was tied with a thin hemp rope and hung under the eaves.

As for the lily, she took it to the kitchen.

"Mom, do we have any dried wood ear mushrooms at home?"

Jiang smiled and said, "Yes, Tang'er, do you want some? I'll grab a handful and soak it."

"Don't soak too much. I dug three lilies today and thought I'd beat two eggs and stir-fry them with the fungus."

"Okay, then I'll make less."

As Jiang spoke, she grabbed a handful of dried wood ear mushrooms from the basket hanging outside the kitchen and soaked them in clean water.

Then he took out a small bowl of leeks from the jar.

At noon, we had stewed snake meat, pickled radish, stir-fried lily bulbs with black fungus, lotus root slices, and a portion of tender Chinese cabbage.

These four dishes are delicious and nutritious.

Jiang was busy in the kitchen. After Song Yuntang washed the lilies, he went to the yard to peel chestnuts.

After a while, Xu Yongfu came.

I saw that everyone in the yard had their own things to do.

"Everyone's busy."

Zhang smiled and said, "My sister-in-law is making persimmon cakes. You brought back so many persimmons. We can make some to eat during the winter."

Xu Yongfu nodded.

"Okay, you take care of these things." He turned and waved to Hu'er, "Come, Hu'er, let grandpa hold you."

"grandfather."

Hu'er ran towards Xu Yongfu with a smile.

Xu Yongfu held Hu'er in his arms and spun around.

"Oh, my dear grandson."

Xu Yongwang looked at the grandfather and grandson with a smile, envy in his eyes.

Now that his eldest son is married, he should be able to have his first grandson soon, right?

It's really exciting.

Zhang looked up and saw his expression, then turned her head to look at Song Yuntang who was carefully peeling wild chestnuts beside her.

Seeing that she was so focused, I was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so I didn't say much.

However, she and Qingye have been married for half a month, so why does she still look like a girl?

……

After lunch, Xu Yongfu and his wife took their grandson home.

Perhaps because she was tired from exploring the mountains in the morning, and her period had not yet ended, Song Yuntang took a nap at noon, and when she woke up it was already the beginning of the evening.

Xu Wencheng and Xu Erniu arrived home at the hour of You, when it was almost dark.

When she saw him, Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is the journey okay?"

Xu Wencheng jumped off the mule cart with a smile.

"Everything is fine, mother." He then opened the curtain and looked at Song Yuntang with a smile, "Sister-in-law, look who's back?"

The next moment, Xu Qingye emerged from the mule cart.

Jiang and Xu Yongwang had surprise on their faces.

"Why is Qingye back?"

Song Yuntang was also a little surprised, "Don't you have to go to the teacher to study these days?"

Xu Qingye hummed, then jumped off the mule cart, robe in hand, and said calmly, "The teacher recently caught a cold and granted me three days' leave. I hadn't planned to come back, but Wencheng happened to go to the county town, so I came back with him."

Xu Wencheng smiled and leaned close to Song Yuntang's ear.

"Sister-in-law, my brother was very nervous when he heard that you fell off the bed."

Song Yuntang swallowed awkwardly.

"How do you know he's nervous?"

As far as she knew, Xu Qingye was a person who never let others see his emotions.

Most of the time he looks calm and composed.

I've never seen him lose his composure.

Xu Wencheng smiled complacently.

"Intuition." Then he said, "Don't think my brother is a very reserved person. I can sense that he is worried about you."

Song Yuntang looked at him with disbelief.

"Oh, you know it again."

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Xu Wencheng seemed to be eager to prove himself, "Really, sister-in-law, believe me, I never lie."

Song Yuntang didn't say anything, but felt that he looked a little funny, so he curled his lips and smiled slightly.

Seeing that the family was all together, Xu Erniu also wanted to go home and take a look.

"Uncle, aunt, we're back so late, my parents must be worried, I'll go back first."

Jiang nodded quickly.

"Hey, go back and don't keep your parents waiting for too long."

He turned and greeted his two sons.

"Hurry up and pull the mule cart in. The food is ready. I'll go get some more bowls and chopsticks. I'm waiting for you to come back and eat together."

Seeing that his parents turned around and went into the house, Xu Qingye walked over to Song Yuntang and took her hand.

The familiar touch reassured him.

"But where did you fall?"

Song Yuntang shook his head, "I'm fine, I just accidentally fell off the bed, there was no sharp object on the ground, I'm not hurt."

Xu Qingye looked her up and down, his expression not looking very good.

"Let's go eat first."

After saying that, he took her hand and walked into the house.

Song Yuntang tilted his head and looked at the hand held in his palm, and a warm feeling arose in his heart.

……

After dinner, Song Yuntang kneaded some dough, put it on the stove, covered it and let it ferment, then went to the room to get water.

Xu Qingye had already washed up and was sitting in the room with the light on, taking notes on the books he brought back today.

Song Yuntang didn't disturb him. She closed the door quietly, took the basin to the corner, and pulled the curtain that she had specially installed in the corner these days.

Anyway, they are husband and wife, so there is no need for him to stay away every time she washes up.

The man, who was originally concentrating on his studies, was startled for a moment when he heard the sound of water in the house, and his throat rolled involuntarily.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the drawn curtain, then let out a long sigh and continued reading the book in his hand.

After Song Yuntang finished washing up and poured out the water, he climbed onto the bed.

She glanced towards the man at the desk.

"Xu Qingye, my mother's birthday is tomorrow. I'm going back to Rongshu Village with my second brother. Do you want to go with us or stay at home and read?"

Xu Qingye didn't look back, but just said, "Since you're back, let's go together."

Song Yuntang nodded.

"Okay, then you can read. I won't disturb you anymore."

After she finished speaking, she lay down on the bed and covered herself with the quilt.

It was just because she had taken a nap in the afternoon, so she tossed and turned in bed for a long time and couldn't fall asleep. It was not until Xu Qingye turned off the lights, got into bed quietly, and put his arms around her that he noticed her body suddenly stiffened, and then he realized that she was not asleep yet.

"why are not you sleeping?"

Although it was not the first time that he was hugged like this, Song Yuntang was still a little nervous.

"I slept for an hour in the afternoon, so I'm not feeling sleepy right now."

"I can stay at home with you for one day tomorrow, but I have to go back to the county town the day after tomorrow afternoon at the latest." He lowered his head to look at the girl in his arms and sniffed the scent of her hair, but he didn't dare to get too close to her for fear of scaring her.

The man's hoarse voice carried a bewitching tone, "Do you want to come with me?"
