Chapter 279 Shen Anguo Gets Married
"So naughty." He Yuxiang sat down opposite her, "I heard from the villagers that your family is planning to build a house."
"Yes, the two Wenshan brothers are fifteen years old. They can't live without a house. Only after the house is built can they look for a marriage partner."
"Yes, my family doesn't have a house, and Lin Yueliang is not willing to help look for one."
If a man who doesn't have a house is shown to a girl, he will be criticized to death by her family.
He Yuxiang raised her head and glanced at the fields: "Your family bought some land, but the weeds in the fields haven't been removed yet. I don't think Aunt Qin will go there."
"If you don't want to go, then don't go. When the time comes, we can harvest the wheat and the grass together." There is no loss for her, and they are the ones who are working hard.
Ji Wenhe continued, "After the wheat is harvested, we will tidy up the land. Whether they weed or not, we will tidy up the land."
Near the foot of the mountain, the land here is not very good, and their family didn't take good care of it, so there are quite a few small stones in it.
There are few people in the family and too much land to handle it, but we are reluctant to spend money to hire someone.
"By the way, Aunt He, I haven't seen Aunt Jiang these past few days. Did they go to town as well?"
"I don't think he went." She shook her head. "I haven't heard about it. If he did go, your Aunt Niu would have come and told him a long time ago."
"That's right." Niu Guilan is the village's intelligence chief. Whatever she knows will be known to the whole village within five minutes.
Ji Wenhe picked up the wooden basin and said, "Aunt He, take your time washing. I'll go back and hang the clothes up. I have to go to the fields soon. There's still some weeding to do."
"Hey."
On the way back, I glanced sideways towards the village.
The old goes and the new comes.
I suddenly felt a little melancholy. The people I knew and were good friends with left the village, and I had to start making new friends.
We are all passers-by...
The day Shen Anguo got married.
Ji Wenhe came out stretching and yawning.
Shen Rongshan went to help borrow a table and stayed at home today. Shen Yuanshan went out to sell goods and took Shen Wenshan to the carpenter's house on the way.
She originally wanted to lend them her donkey cart to pick up the bride, but Lan Qiuhua said: "Shen Feiling didn't use your donkey cart when she got married. Your Aunt Wu will feel uncomfortable if I use your donkey cart. We can go to Zhaojia Village to borrow one. It only costs two cents and it won't cost much."
She explained that since Wu Caifeng did not ask them to borrow it, she did not take the initiative to bring up the matter. If their family had asked, they would definitely lend the donkey cart to them for family use.
She still said she didn't want to borrow their donkey cart and wanted to go to Zhaojia Village, so it was up to her.
The three brothers had left long ago. After finishing his meal, Ji Wenhe locked the door, picked up the basket and took the bamboo pole and went down the mountain.
Go out and herd the geese, and then go to their house to help later.
When we got to the foot of the mountain, we saw that the donkey cart had been borrowed and was tied next to the shed.
When I reached the door, I saw her coming out of the house: "Aunt Lan, I came to your house to help after I let the geese out."
"Don't worry, you can come later."
"Okay." She drove the geese and ducks towards the village entrance.
Drive the geese into the creek and look for wild vegetables around it.
At this time, Lan Qiuhua's home.
"Mom, I have packed everything in my room." Shen Suya held the knotted silk thread and said, "Mom, put them in the box in your room. Someone will be sitting in my room, and I am afraid that the children will rummage through it."
"There are clothes in it, take out a few."
"Oh."
Her mother was so happy that she didn't sleep all night last night and is still full of energy today.
Shen Anguo changed into new clothes in the house, went out and stood in the yard, and asked Shen Suya who came out: "How is it?"
"Not bad, it's lively and energetic. My sister-in-law will definitely like it when she sees it."
Lan Qiuhua stood at the kitchen door: "Don't be ashamed, take your dried shoes into the house and put them under the bed."
"I know." I would say to her.
The borrowed benches and tables were placed at the door, and bowls and chopsticks had to be borrowed from each household.
Miao Zhaodi, Wang Erfeng, Zhou Xiaoyu, Li Chunhong and others came over one after another.
"Qiuhua, congratulations."
"Let me share your joy." He looked at them with a smile, "I was so happy last night that I didn't sleep all night, and I was looking forward to the daybreak."
"Hey, have you all eaten yet? There's rice in the pot. Let's have lunch at my house."
"I've eaten." Wang Erfeng looked towards the utility room, "The dishes are all here."
Lan Qiuhua walked over and said, "Yes, I'm sorry to trouble you today."
Zhou Xiaoyu stepped forward to help: "What are you talking about? If you are happy, we are happy too."
Several people carried the vegetables to the kitchen, sat together and started to prepare them.
"You guys are busy, I'm going to go talk to An Guo."
"Okay, go ahead." Wang Erfeng nodded.
Li Chunhong saw that the basin on the table was covered with another basin, and curiously went forward to open it: "Oh, they also bought shank bones."
"Let me see." Zhou Xiaoyu looked up and saw one pound of fatty pork, one pound of pork belly, and two pounds of lean meat. "Why did they buy so much meat?"
"Aunt Wang, Aunt Li, Aunt Miao, Aunt Zhou, I'm here to help too." Shen Suya went behind the stove and brought a small stool.
"Xiao Ya, why does your family buy so much meat? And even pork ribs." Miao Zhaodi asked.
"We went with Brother Rongshan. The owner of the pork stall gave us a discount. He weighed a pound of pork ribs and asked for half the price, and even gave us a few as a gift."
They bought one pound of fat pork and one pound of lean meat together. Knowing that there was a wedding at home, the boss only charged them half the price.
"To make soup from pork bones, I see you need to cook two big pots. How many tables will you have at home?" Wang Erfeng asked.
Shen Suya replied: "Table 4, I don't have many relatives."
His parents don't have many friends, and with relatives and villagers included, the four tables should be full.
Ji Wenhe drove the geese and ducks back to the wasteland, hung the wild vegetables on the fence to dry, and then packed up and went down the mountain.
Just as I walked to the kitchen door, I heard Zhou Xiaoyu say, "Wen He, your Aunt Lan said that we should make soup with marrow bones. We decided that one pot is not enough, so we should make two pots."
"You can either put it in the pot and boil it now, take it out when it's done, and then pour it back into the pot to heat it up after the vegetables are cooked."
"That's too much trouble. Take it to my house and boil it. When it's time to eat, bring it over in a bowl."
"That's fine." Li Chunhong handed the trotter bones in the basin to her, "Xiaoya, go with your sister-in-law."
"Hey." Shen Suya put down the food in her hand, stood up and followed him out.
When she reached the steps, she said with a somewhat depressed look: "Sister-in-law, my brother is getting married. I am happy, but also a little unhappy."
"What do you mean?" Ji Wenhe turned and looked at her.
"Now that my daughter-in-law is married, my mother no longer cares about me. She thinks about my sister-in-law all the time and wants to marry me off as soon as possible. I am not happy."
She said that after she gets married, the house will be given to her eldest brother’s children.
Although she knew it, she felt upset when she heard her mother say it in person.
"Xiao Ya, I don't know how to tell you. Aunt Lan cares about you, otherwise she wouldn't ask around and try to find a good family for you."
"I know what my sister-in-law means. Although mother is good to me, in her heart, the most important person is my eldest brother." She had seen through it a long time ago.
Ji Wenhe patted her shoulder and said, "As women, we have a lot of difficulties. Don't think too deeply about some things. It's okay to be a little silly."
