Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 276 Buying Chickens

"Yuxiang, don't look at the present. In the future, you will be the most blessed person in our village. You have a grandfather who is a scholar, three sons, and a good daughter-in-law. Just wait and enjoy the happiness."

Huang Guihua glanced at the opposite side and said with a smile.

"Shuangping, you too, have three grandchildren. Every year during festivals, you need to give them gifts to make ends meet for a month."

Ma Shuangping smiled and replied: "We are all blessed."

Ji Wenhe walked into the field and saw Shen Rongshan using a rake to level the soil.

There is only one rake at home, and other people's homes are also using it.

At this time, Niu Guilan on the opposite side spoke up: "If you ask me, the head of the village and the Rongshan family still have the best life. We can't even envy them enough."

"Why are you envious? We should live our own lives well. If they can live a good life, it is also their own ability." Wang Erfeng said loudly, "We are not destined to make a lot of money, so we should just farm honestly."

Zhou Xiaoyu agreed: "That's right. Farming is the way to go. We have been farmers for generations. Forget about making money from business. We don't have that ability."

Lan Qiuhua arrived late with a rake and a shovel.

"Qiuhua, your marriage in Anguo has been arranged. You don't have to worry about anything from now on."

When Niu Guilan spoke in a loud voice, people working in the fields could hear her clearly.

"I'm still worried. I haven't found my daughter Xiaoya yet. I need to find a good family for her."

"What's there to worry about? Just find someone who is willing to pay a high betrothal gift, and that family will have a good life."

Lan Qiuhua smiled and didn't respond.

Wang Erfeng muttered quietly: "This Niu Guilan, Sister Miao is here, she has no sense at all."

"Mom." Shen Qingdai walked over, "Don't say it, or people will hear it."

"Why are you here?"

"Grandma asked me to help you."

"So what is she doing at home?"

I can't stand seeing the mother and daughter sitting idle at home, talking about this and that all day long.

"Grandma has poured out the rice seeds from home and is busy now."

"You can go back. I don't have much to do here." There was only one rake in the house and there was no extra one for her to use.

Shen Qingdai shook her head: "You are tired, let me take over. Grandma will definitely scold me when we go back."

Wang Erfeng said helplessly: "Then pick up the grass you scooped up."

Here.

Ji Wenhe stepped forward: "Brother Shen, let me try."

She watched for a while and her eyes understood it, but she had to try it herself.

Shen Rongshan handed her the rake and said, "Walk back, don't walk too fast."

"it is good."

It wasn't as difficult as she imagined.

The grass roots were picked out and the ground was tidied up several times, making it beautiful.

"By the way, Brother Shen, after the headman's wheat is harvested, we have to tidy up the fields. There are so many weeds in them."

Because they have a lot of land, they usually focus on weeding the good land first. They will go to the plots of land near the foot of the mountain when they have time, and if they don't, they will just let the weeds grow.

Tao Xing'er's family moved to the town, and Jiang Hongxi also planned to move to the town. There were few people in the family, and they could not handle weeding in the fields.

Also, because their family bought some land, they did not weed the grass in those fields.

Shen Rongshan picked up the hoe and said, "Yes, the grass has grown in our field. We will plant the rice seeds in a few days. Yuanshan and I will go there."

"I'll go with you." The three of them were busy quickly.

He was asked to take the rake home and continue to turn the soil in the wasteland.

After the rice seeds were planted, Shen Yuanshan went to buy thirty-five chicks.

Ji Wenhe carefully took them out of the basket, touched their little heads, and then put them on the edge of the basin: "Eat."

The basin contained chopped wild vegetables mixed with a little cornmeal.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to the mountains to pick wild vegetables."

"Okay, be careful and don't go deep into the mountains."

He took out the last chick and picked up the basket: "Got it."

The little chicks were chirping, and some of them couldn't squeeze in.

Ji Wenhe grabbed a handful and put it in his palm: "Come on, eat it."

"Wow! Your family bought so many chicks again."

Niu Guilan's shout scared the chicks so much that they huddled together instantly.

"Aunt Niu, you scared them."

She laughed and said, "Chicks are just timid. They will be better when they grow up."

He looked up and said, “Aunt Niu, why don’t you make a pile of firewood? It’s quite troublesome to go to the mountains to collect branches every few days.”

"What's the problem? I'm used to it." Just as he was about to leave, he asked again, "Wen He, when will your family build a house?"

"Let's wait until Anguo gets married. I'm busy at home these two days. Can you spare some time? What's up, Aunt Niu? Do you want to come and help?"

"Okay, I'm fine at home anyway, but I can't help you for nothing, you have to buy good wine and food every day."

Ji Wenhe looked up at her and said with a smile, "I just said it casually. I don't want to trouble you. I can handle the family myself, so I won't let you worry about it."

"The family used their own money to buy land and housing, so there was no extra money. There was no good wine or food, but there was simple food."

Niu Guilan laughed twice and said, "Then I won't go. When your family builds a house, you must treat the villagers to a meal. Then I will go to your house to eat a good meal."

"Okay, I'll definitely invite you over then."

"Well, I'm going back then."

"it is good."

After she left, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He treated her to delicious food and wine every day. Even though he was not poor, he was forced to go bankrupt.

He got up, closed the door, and let the chicks run around in the wasteland.

If you don't close the door, the chickens at the foot of the mountain will come back and eat all the food in the bowl.

Shen Anguo is getting married the day after tomorrow. Their house and yard are tidied up and the fence is rebuilt.

Ji Wenhe walked to the door and saw Shen Suya brushing her shoes in the yard: "Xiaoya, why don't you take them to the river to wash."

She raised her head and said, "Sister-in-law, my shoes are not dirty, but there is some mud on the soles. Mother said my shoes were too dirty, and sister-in-law came and saw that it was not good, so she insisted that I take them out and wash them."

Lan Qiuhua came out of Shen Anguo's house and said, "You got some mud on your shoes. It's all stuck on the uppers."

"No way, mother, you are exaggerating. You are going to have a daughter-in-law, and now you start to dislike me."

"How could I dislike you? I just asked you to wash a pair of shoes, and you feel so wronged."

"You just dislike me."

Xiao watched the two bickering and asked, "We're going to town to buy groceries tomorrow. Besides these, what else do you want to buy?"

Lan Qiuhua replied: "It's nothing. If I have extra money, I can open a few cabinets for them."

"When they have money in the future, it won't be too late to fight them." Ji Wenhe glanced at the yard, "The family will be lively in the future."

The fence was re-erected and the utility room was tidied up.

"It will be more lively with one more person." But when her daughter gets married, there will be one less person in the family.

"Aunt Lan, you guys are busy. I'm going to weed the fields."

"Hey, let's go."

I went home, changed into old clothes, carried a basket, put on a straw hat, and walked slowly to the fields.

They bought three plots of land nearby. The grass in the fields was half as tall as the wheat. By June, it was still unknown how tall the grass would grow.
