Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 312 Heart Chapter

Shen Yuanshan opened the cupboard and said, "I see."

Take out a can next to it.

Cucumbers are refreshing in the summer. I will go to sell goods tomorrow and wash a few cucumbers to take with me to eat on the way.

"At the end of the month, I go to town to buy farm tools, such as plows and hoes. I'll see if the family needs anything and buy them so that we don't have to borrow from others."

Ji Wenhe took a sip of tomato soup without vinegar.

I picked up the pickled cucumber juice, poured a little into the bowl, stirred it with chopsticks, and took another sip. It was sour and spicy, and it tasted right.

Shen Rongshan said, "Yuanshan and I will go together at the end of the month. We will harvest corn next month and plant cabbage after that."

"There are also three pieces of wasteland behind the pigsty. I talked to the head of the village today and he will give us the land deeds in a few days."

Shen Wenshan took a sip of soup and asked: "Did we buy too much wasteland?"

"Not much." Ji Wenhe took over the conversation, "If we raise pigs at home and feed them grain, the more land the better."

We will also give them one acre each. If we don't buy three more plots of land, they will only have a little more than one acre.

Looking at the twins, he said, "By the way, has your eldest brother told you about the business?"

The two shook their heads and looked at Shen Rongshan in confusion.

The latter said: "I haven't told them yet. I plan to tell them at the end of the month. I'll tell them after dinner."

"Okay." She nodded, thinking she had told them.

The two brothers were curious and didn't ask until they finished eating and went to the river to take a bath.

"Brother, what happened to the business?"

Shen Rongshan replied: "I have discussed with your sister-in-law that I will divide the business between you at the end of the month. I can't go with you to sell the goods since I raise pigs at home."

"From now on, the business of selling goods will belong to the two of you. You two will share the profits equally. Your sister-in-law and I can focus on raising pigs and have a easier time."

The two looked at each other.

Shen Wenshan said, "Brother, you don't have to go out with us to sell goods. Yuanshan and I will take turns, and the money we earn will be divided equally among the three of us."

"Besides, didn't we agree that we would separate after we got married? All the money we earn now will be given to my sister-in-law."

"That's right, big brother." Shen Yuanshan agreed, "You don't have to go, the two of us can go."

"According to what your sister-in-law and I have agreed, the business of selling goods belongs to you. You can divide the profits equally between you and keep them in your own hands. You don't have to give them to your sister-in-law."

Shen Rongshan glanced at them and continued.

"You are old enough now. When you look for a marriage partner next spring, you will have saved a lot of money. You can save this money for use after you get married."

"Your sister-in-law and I will pay for the betrothal gifts and banquets. Learn to be the head of the household. If you encounter any problems, come to me."

The two were silent for a long time and nodded in agreement.

When he came back from taking a shower, Ji Wenhe was neatly dressed and sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed.

Puzzled, he asked, "Wen He, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Have Wenshan and Yuanshan returned? I want to talk to them. Have I told them everything?"

"Yeah, like I said, they're in the back and will be back soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps in the yard.

Ji Wenhe stood up and put on his shoes: "Brother Shen, you go to sleep first. You've been tired all day. You don't have to wait for me."

When we arrived at the yard, it was not yet completely dark, so we said to the twins, "Yuanshan, Wenshan, let's take a walk at the foot of the mountain."

"Okay." The two followed.

The three of them strolled at the foot of the mountain. The breeze was cool at night.

She said slowly: "I'm not in a hurry to separate from you, I just want you to adapt in advance and learn to be the head of the family as soon as possible."

Only when you are in charge of the household, holding the money in your hands and spending it penny by penny, can you better understand how difficult it is to make money.

"I've told you before that if you live together for a long time, there will definitely be conflicts. Even if we adults are fine, once we have children, they will quarrel with each other. Over time, conflicts are bound to arise."

"When we divide the family property, we will have resentment. You don't have resentment, but I can't guarantee that your wife doesn't have resentment. I'm not saying they are bad, I'm just giving an example."

Shen Wenshan walked behind her and replied softly: "Sister-in-law, we understand what you mean, and we also understand the painstaking efforts of you and your elder brother."

Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "It's good that you understand. There is one more thing. The following words may be a bit unpleasant to hear."

"Your eldest brother and I have done a lot for you. Although you are brothers, he can't take care of you all your life. He also has his own life and his own family."

"I also treat you as my own brothers. If you have difficulties, I will definitely help you if I can. But the one who can accompany me to the end is your eldest brother, so I will focus more on him."

"After you get married, you should also spend more time on your wife and children, because they are the ones who will truly accompany you to the end."

She stopped and turned to look at them: "I can see that you are very dependent on him, but you can't rely on him forever. You have to learn to be independent."

"You two are both good kids. Don't live under your brother's wings. Step out from under his wings. You will achieve a better life through your own efforts and make your family better and better. Believe in your own abilities."

Shen Wenshan lowered his head and asked: "Sister-in-law, do you really think I have the ability to support a family and make money for them to live a good life? I... I think I..."

I don’t have the ability to support a family.

"Why not?" Ji Wenhe said gently, "You can endure hardships and have skills. As long as you are willing to learn and work hard, I don't believe you can't make money."

"You should learn the carpentry skills well. In the future, you can take turns to go out and sell goods while the other stays at home to work."

"You must believe in yourself. If you don't believe in yourselves, how can others believe in you? Don't forget that your elder brother and I are standing behind you. Go forward boldly."

The two nodded solemnly.

Shen Yuanshan said: "Sister-in-law, thank you for all the time. You will always be our good sister-in-law. We will never forget you."

Shen Wenshan on the side echoed: "Well, no matter what time, we will listen to you and Big Brother."

Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "When you get married, you must listen to your wife. Also, don't say this in front of your wife."

He smiled and patted their shoulders: "Okay, let's go back. You are all tired all day, take a good rest."

In fact, she still had a lot to say to them.

Shen Rongshan was too tired. His mind was focused on the three of them, and he never stopped thinking about them as soon as he opened his eyes every day.

His biggest wish was to build a house and watch his two younger brothers get married. With this burden lifted, he would feel much more relieved.

That day, Ji Wenhe came back from cutting grass for pigs and saw Doctor Zhao coming out of Lan Qiuhua's yard.

Shen Anguo sent him to the door with an uncontrollable look of joy on his face.
