Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 410 Going to town

After taking a shower and coming out of the small room, Ji Wenhe sat cross-legged on the bed and said, "I need to buy more cloth tomorrow and make a new dress for Yuanshan and the others to wear on the wedding day."

Shen Rongshan closed the door and said, "I remember they had some new clothes that they hadn't worn yet. They don't need to make any more."

"That's fine. I'll ask tomorrow." He lifted the quilt and got into bed.

In a couple of days, the family will be busy planting vegetables and raising seedlings, so their schedule will have to be postponed to this month or next month.

She wanted them to get married sooner so that he could completely relax.

Shen Rongshan lay down beside her: "Let's see how they deal with it. Will Lin Yueniang come over?"

"I asked her on the way back from the Wenshan wedding, and she said she might not be able to come. It's not certain. If she doesn't bring anyone to the wedding that day, she can come over and watch it then. Anyway, there's a spot reserved for her."

Ji Wenhe hugged him and closed his eyes contentedly.

"It's almost time. Wenshan thinks that the next one will be Yuanshan. By the way, go and tell Uncle Da Nian tomorrow and ask him to come over the day after tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll go talk to Master tomorrow. Go to sleep. You have to get up early tomorrow."

"Ah."

On the other side, Shen Wen is home.

"Brother, everything in the house is packed, why are you still packing boxes?"

"I want to pack two more boxes to store things, and then I'll pack two more for you and sister-in-law."

Shen Yuanshan sat on the bed and asked, "Brother, are you happy?"

He smiled and replied: "Of course I am happy, what's wrong, are you unhappy?"

"That's not the case. I'm happy for you that you found a girl you like, but I'm thinking that we'll each have our own families in the future, and we won't be as close as before."

"Who said that? We can still be the same as before. Look at the village. Now, except for our family and Brother Liang's family, we can see each other every day in the village. Other families go to the town to work and only come back once every few months. That's why we can't see each other."

"Yuanshan, I think our two families' fields are planted together, and the carpentry work is also done together. It's not easy to separate the two of us too clearly, so why not just do it together? What do you think?"

Shen Yuanshan nodded: "Okay, I think the same as you. By the way, brother, have you told my second sister-in-law about the family affairs?"

"I've told her everything. She means I'll make the decision. It's good for the two families to be together and help each other."

Ding Hongye is a good girl.

"Brother, do you think Second Sister-in-law can tell the difference between us?"

Shen Wenshan looked at him with a smile: "I pointed you out to her, and she saw at a glance that we have different personalities. You laugh more often than I do."

He walked to the bed and made the quilt.

"I think you shouldn't go back tonight. Sleep here with me and talk to me. When I get married, we can't be like this anymore."

Shen Yuanshan moved aside and said, "Okay, I'll sleep here tonight and we can have a good chat."

After getting married, you can no longer stick together like before.

The next morning, the three of them drove a donkey cart to the town.

Shen Rongshan washed the clothes, hung them in the yard, closed the door and went to Zhaojia Village.

I happened to meet Zhu Danian on the way: "Master, where are you going?"

"Aren't Yuanshan and Wenshan looking for a marriage partner? I wanted to go to your house to ask how the matchmaking went. Why did you come to me?"

"I came to tell you that you should come to our house for dinner tomorrow morning. Wenshan has made the appointment. We went there yesterday. The girl's parents said they would come to our house to get engaged."

Zhu Danian said, "My girl's parents wanted to stop by and see what your family is like."

"Yes, that's what we think. You can come over for dinner tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll go over there tomorrow. Wenshan will take a look at the girl there. What's her family like?"

Shen Rongshan followed him out of the village: "Go east, not far away, there is a younger brother, his parents seem to be honest and easy to talk to."

"How much do they ask for as a betrothal gift?"

"I didn't ask for it. I asked us to pay for it ourselves. Six taels and six."

Zhu Danian nodded: "I heard you say that this family is not bad. The girl is about the same age as Wenshan, or younger."

"He is about the same age as Wenshan, and he is a good-tempered person."

"Did you go with them yesterday?"

"Wen He went. I'm at home and can't leave. Besides, if I go there like this, they might be scared if they see me."

Moreover, when going to see a girl, it is usually the wife of the family who goes with them. It is rare for the father or the eldest brother to go with them, unless there is no wife in the family.

Zhu Danian understood what he meant, patted his shoulder and comforted him: "You, don't think too much, I will go there early tomorrow, Wen He went to the town to buy things for the girl."

"Well, Wenshan and Yuanshan went together. That's fine. I won't go over. You should go back and do your work. I'll walk around the village."

Shen Rongshan replied: "Then I will go back, Master. Please don't go too far and don't go to places where the road is difficult to walk on."

"Okay, I'm not a child, let's go back."

On the way back to the village, I met Wang Erfeng and Tao Chunmei by the vegetable field. They were planting corn.

"Aunt Wang, Aunt Tao, they are busy."

The two looked up.

"Yes." Wang Erfeng asked with a smile, "Rongshan, has your Wenshan Xiang been established? I heard that you went to see several more yesterday."

He walked to the end of the field and stopped: "It's settled. The girl and her family will come over tomorrow to discuss the date."

Tao Chunmei said with a smile: "Congratulations, the marriage is settled, and the wedding will be held soon. I think it will be this month."

Shen Rongshan replied: "I don't know, it will be any day that suits me. Aunt Wang, Aunt Tao, you guys are busy."

"Hey."

After he left, Tao Chunmei whispered, "Their family is so rich, how much do you think they can give to the girl as a betrothal gift?"

"No matter how rich they are, the most they can give is 88.8 yuan. Besides, they bought so many piglets and built a house. I don't think they have much money."

"The business of selling goods is not good, and I gave it to the two brothers below. I think they don't have much money left."

"I don't think so." She glanced at Shen Rongshan's back, "Wen He has money, she won't give it all to her two brothers-in-law, she and Rongshan still have to make a living."

"But she is a good sister-in-law, as she can help her two younger brothers-in-law marry and provide betrothal gifts. Look at our surrounding villages, there are very few who can do what she does."

Wang Erfeng agreed: "Yes, Wenshan and Yunshan are also blessed to have found a good sister-in-law."

When Ji Wenhe first came to the village, everyone went to see her. Who would have thought that their family would live such a good life now.

Turning around, she saw Lan Qiuhua coming back from the river washing clothes. Wang Erfeng called her and told her about Shen Wenshan.

"Then wait for good news from their family. You guys are busy. I'll go back and hang up the clothes."

When he got home, he told Shen Anguo and his friend the happy event.
