Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 300 Buying Piglets

Su Xiaolian liked this sister-in-law. They could chat well and got along well. Naturally, she hoped that she could marry into a good family.

"Thank you, brother and sister-in-law. As long as they treat me well, I will treat them well."

She is not someone who can be bullied.

"Don't act on impulse when you get there, and be more respectful to your parents-in-law." Shen Erniu said, "We won't say anything else, you and your sister-in-law can go inside and talk."

Shen Suya nodded, stood up, and looked at Ji Wenhe: "Sister-in-law, let's go."

After the two left the house, Lan Qiuhua wiped away her tears.

Seeing this, Amelia Su sat next to her and comforted her: “Mom, Xiaoya is not married far away, we can go see her if we miss her.”

"Yes, mother, don't cry in front of Xiaoya." Shen Anguo followed to comfort her.

If he saw her crying, his sister would cry too.

"Yeah." She didn't want to cry, but when she thought about the future, she couldn't stop crying.

Inside the other side of the house.

Ji Wenhe looked at the box and wooden basin at the end of the bed. They were simple in style and without any fancy patterns.

"Xiaoya, what did their family send over?"

"They are all in the box." Shen Suya sat on the bed, "Two sets of fabrics. Mother helped me make the clothes. I will wear them on the wedding day."

"Two pairs of shoes, he gave me a wooden hairpin, and some pork."

That's not bad, compared with the married girls in the village.

The two chatted until noon before Ji Wenhe stood up and said goodbye.

Shen Rongshan had returned a long time ago and was sitting in the yard, watching them make wooden basins.

Seeing her coming back, he quickly held up an umbrella and went to greet her: "Why don't you wait for me to come back before you go? Your clothes must be wet, go back and change."

"It's okay, it's not soaked. Have you checked the chicken coop to see if there are any eggs?"

"I've got them all back." He helped her take off her raincoat and hung it on the wooden rack, urging her, "Go back to the house and change clothes."

My right arm was completely wet, as was the hem of my skirt.

Ji Wenhe thought about it and went back to change into dry clothes, as it would be bad if he caught a cold.

When I opened the door, I heard him calling for dinner.

I didn't bring the net back to play with it, so I had nothing to do at home on a rainy day.

After dinner, she lay on the bed while the two brothers played with wooden basins in the yard.

After a while, Shen Rongshan came into the room: "Wen He, I went to the village head's house yesterday and heard him mention that Shen Tianshi's marriage was settled."

She turned around and said, "If I marry a girl from the town, what about our village? Will we have a banquet?"

"From what he said, Uncle Cong doesn't plan to do it in the village. His family will live in the town and won't return to the village."

Ji Wenhe sat up and said, "Both sons don't plan to return to the village, what will happen to the position of village chief?"

The village head is in charge of the village and is an official of neither high nor low rank, but it is definitely better to work in the town than in the town.

"They still have so much land. If they divide the land between the two brothers, they can hire people to farm. If they develop well in the town, they may not be willing to take back the family's land."

"According to the village head's idea, he will not agree to sell the homestead and fields. He may let one of them come back. It depends on whether Shen Cong and Shen Lin are willing."

Shen Rongshan shook his head: "The head of the village has a sad face. It seems that he doesn't want to come back."

She lay back on the bed and closed her eyes: "I am living well in town, why do I have to go back to the village? Farming is so tiring."

"As long as the head of the village is still here, they dare not say anything. But if the head of the village is gone someday, wouldn't the two brothers still have the final say in the family? They can divide the homestead and the land, and sell them to make money in the town."

It is easy to go from hardship to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Ji Wenhe looked at his back and said, "Both sons are unwilling to come back to be the head of the village. Let's choose someone ourselves. Who do you think they will choose?"

"I don't know." It doesn't matter to him who is chosen, and Shen Rongshan doesn't intend to get involved in this matter.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. We'll talk about the future later." She turned over and said, "Brother Shen, massage my shoulders again. I'll massage you later."

If there really was an election in the village, she didn't want Shen Rongshan to be elected because it would cause a lot of trouble, although he would also gain a lot of benefits.

But life is going well right now and I don’t want to add to my worries, so this is good enough.

The next day.

The three brothers took Shen Liang and followed Shen Zhong to pick the piglets.

Ji Wenhe came back from releasing the geese and was looking for wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain with a basket. He ran into Huang Guihua, who was followed by Shen Fengyao.

"Wen He, you are here to look for wild vegetables too."

"Yes, Aunt Huang."

He turned to the person next to him and said, "Quick, call sister-in-law."

"sister in law."

"Hey, Feng Yao rarely comes out on weekdays."

Huang Guihua smiled and said, "She's just like her mother. She doesn't like to talk much. She embroiders and makes lace at home. I saw that she has been staying at home all the time, so I thought of taking her out to find some wild vegetables and walk around. Otherwise, she would get bored at home."

She smiled and said, "It's cooler in the morning, come out for a walk."

The mother and daughter are very similar, and their personalities are even more similar.

"Look, isn't that Shen Zhiyan? She's back with her man."

Ji Wenhe looked in the direction of her finger and said, "You came back so late, maybe something happened at home."

Huang Guihua asked in confusion, "There must be something wrong at home, otherwise why would they come here so early in the morning? I haven't heard anything wrong at home."

Then he sighed, "Shen Xing has a bad temper and scolds people. Only Zhang Qiu'e can stand it. If it were me, I would have beaten him many times."

She is a straightforward person and can't stand her man scolding her all the time, regardless of the occasion.

"We can't control other people's affairs. We are willing to bear it. What can we do?"

If it weren't for Shen Xing's temper, Shen Zhiyan wouldn't have become afraid of people and timid.

But her brother Shen Wangfei is a good person and treats her well.

Shen Wangfei is the only boy in the family. It is said that Shen Xing has never scolded his son.

The two children are treated very differently.

"Grandma, there are no wild vegetables here. Let's go over there." Shen Fengyao pointed ahead.

Huang Guihua nodded: "Wen He, let's go to the front."

"Okay." Ji Wenhe walked in the opposite direction from them.

I found half a basket of wild vegetables and came down from the south side of the mountain. I saw Shen Zhiyan and her husband leaving the village.

From a distance, she was rubbing her eyes and seemed to be crying.

Out of curiosity, he decided to go find the village intelligence chief to ask.

Arriving at Niu Guilan's house, he called out at the gate, "Aunt Niu, are you home?"

"My mother is not here." Shen Siyu came out of the house. "Sister-in-law, my mother just left. I don't know where she went. What do you want to talk to my mother about? I'll tell her when I get back."

"It's nothing, go back to the house, I'm leaving first."

"Hey." He looked at her puzzledly as she turned and left.

Ji Wenhe walked past the house and planned to visit Li Chunhong's house.

"Aunt Li, are you home?"

"I'm here." She poked her head out of the kitchen with a smile, "Come in, your Aunt Niu is here too."

It turned out that he came to their house to deliver information.
