Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 353 Invite to dinner

"Oh, Brother Shen, we need to build three large tables, one for each family. I was originally planning to ask Carpenter Li to build them, but now I think it's better to ask Wenshan to build them. We don't need them urgently anyway."

Shen Rongshan nodded: "Tell Wenshan that if he can't fight, then go find Carpenter Li."

"Ah."

Early the next morning.

After breakfast, the three brothers drove a cart of grain to the town. After selling all the grain, they came back to help the villagers.

Ji Wenhe washed the dishes at home, carried the newly packed box down and placed it at the end of the bed.

The quilt is in Shen Yuanshan’s room.

When I walked to the door of Lan Qiuhua's house, I saw her coming out of the house with a smile on her face. I asked curiously, "Aunt Lan, what are you so happy about?"

"Nothing, I was just joking with them. Yujiao gave birth to a boy. Did you go to see him?"

"No, Xiaoxi went to see her. Aunt Wu said Yujiao was at home in confinement and couldn't be exposed to the wind. She told her to rest well at home and let them see her in a few days."

"Okay, you can go check it out in a few days. It's okay if you don't want to go, wait until the full moon comes. Rongshan is in town now."

"Yes." Ji Wenhe nodded, "I've been gone for a while. If everything goes well, I'll be back before noon."

Shen Erniu came out of the house and said, "Wait until he comes back, and then we'll have a fight."

Looking east, he added, "The headman's family has a lot of things to do this year. I see there are still three piles of rice that haven't been threshed yet. Shen Lin chased his wife out and didn't bring her back."

"Uncle Lin went to town?" she asked.

Lan Qiuhua whispered back, "I went to town with my mother and daughter. Shen Lin listened to Jiang Hongxi and didn't dare to come back because she didn't want him to."

"Tao Xing'er and Shen Cong are at home. After finishing their work at home, they didn't go to town immediately. I heard that the head of the village was so angry that he didn't eat for a whole day."

"Let's not meddle in other people's business." Shen Erniu walked around the two men and said, "I'm going to go to the fields and look for work in town in a couple of days."

This time I’m going out and won’t be back until the Chinese New Year.

"Wen He." Lan Qiuhua looked at her. "After you have harvested the cabbages, I would like to borrow your donkey cart to go see Xiaoya."

"No problem. I'll go with you and let Yuanshan take us there and pick us up in the evening. What do you think?"

"Xiao Lian is home alone, and I am a little worried."

Amelia Su came out of the house: “Mom, you and sister-in-law go, I won’t wander around at home, you can come back in the evening.”

She raised her hand and touched her belly: "If I wasn't afraid of the bumpy ride, I would also like to go over and see her."

"Don't go. I can feel more at ease at home. I'll be back before the evening."

"it is good."

Ji Wenhe talked to them for a while and went to bring the quilt back.

Then go back to the cave and take everything you need down the mountain.

After going back and forth several times, there was nothing left in the cave.

After buying new bowls and chopsticks, you should take down the old ones after a few days. They can still be used and cannot be thrown away.

Put the dried corn in the utility room and shell the kernels when you have time.

Shen Rongshan and his two companions did not return until noon. The villagers gathered at the side of the path and drew lots to decide who would go to the town first.

Ji Wenhe carried water from the pigpen to irrigate the fields.

Zhao Sanniang walked over leisurely and said, "Wen He, when are you going to move in?"

"Wait a few days. The pot can't be used now. The child is asleep."

"No, I just fed him. Your uncle Ping is at home coaxing him to sleep. I came out to take a rest."

"You can take a rest while Uncle Ping is at home. When will Uncle Ping leave?"

"I'll wait until the cabbages are harvested at home. If I leave this time, I probably won't be back until the Chinese New Year."

Ji Wenhe looked at her and said, "I'll be gone for three months. If I finish my work in the meantime, I can come back to see you."

Zhao Sanniang nodded: "Yes, I told him to come back once a month."

Shen Ping himself said that he missed them very much after being away for three months.

When I finish the work, I will come back for two days and then go to town to look for it.

"Wen He, I see Shen Wanqing is looking for a husband, and her family is about to have a wedding."

"Aunt Li said that if we are going to have a good relationship, we will hold a banquet next month. I wonder how it will go in the next few days."

Lin Yue Niang brought several men into the village. They were of different heights and shorts, most of them were thin, and fat ones were rare.

Zhao Sanniang yawned and said, "It will be the beginning of winter next month. This year has passed by so quickly."

"Yeah, I think it's fast too."

Some things feel like they happened yesterday, but when you think about it carefully, they happened a year ago.

The rice in the village was taken to the town to be sold, the cabbages were harvested and the broad beans were planted. When everything was done, it was time to choose a day.

"I think we should do it tomorrow. You can go buy some goods on the way back."

There are still a few days before frost.

The three people at the dinner table nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll go with my elder brother." Shen Yuanshan said, "Brother, you stay home and beat the table."

All the things have been moved down the mountain.

Ji Wenhe said, "By the way, buy a few more kilograms of black flour and send it to Aunt Miao's family. They came to help harvest the rice, and I haven't thanked them yet."

"Wenhe, do you want to buy two more pounds of pork and keep it for your family?" Shen Rongshan asked.

"Buy, buy two more pounds of spareribs and a fish, and tofu. After this trip to the town, I guess I'll have to wait until the end of next month."

Shen Wenshan looked at her and said, "Sister-in-law, isn't Uncle Danian coming to live here?"

She shook her head: "I talked to him, but he couldn't come. Brother Shen, go find him again. If he insists on not coming, we won't force him."

"Ah."

Shen Rongshan knew his master and knew he would definitely not come, but the house would be kept for him.

night.

Ji Wenhe lay in his arms: "Aunt Lan and I will go to see Xiaoya in a few days. Let Yuanshan take us there."

"We have vegetables and eggs at home, bring some."

"Well, we can't go empty-handed." She closed her eyes and smiled, "We are finally going to move in. It feels really solid to have our own house."

"Wen He, thank you for your hard work."

"Why is it so hard? Isn't life like this? There are ups and downs. The most important thing is that you understand me and tolerate me."

Shen Rongshan kissed her hair and sighed contentedly: "It is my blessing to marry you."

Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "Don't say such things in the future. We will be fine in the future. When Wenshan and his wife's marriage is settled, we will be completely relieved."

"Yeah, almost."

At that time, he could focus his whole heart on her.

It won't be long.

The next day.

When Ji Wenhe came back from releasing the geese and ducks, he saw Shen Liang running home in a hurry.

Looking towards his yard, Doctor Zhao walked out, followed by Miao Zhaodi, looking very happy.

I thought to myself: Xiaoxi is pregnant?

Apart from this, I really can't think of anything else that could make her so happy.

The chickens were kept in the pen these days and were not allowed to come out.

The rice seeds have only been planted for a few days, and I’m afraid they will dig out and eat them.

Lan Qiuhua stood at the gate of the courtyard and waved to her.

After I walked in, I heard her say, "Wen He, I just heard from Wen Shan that your family is inviting us to dinner tomorrow, so how about we go the day after tomorrow?"
