Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 177 Birthday

Zhao Sanniang was very thin because she had a hard time living in her husband's family.

She nodded, her eyes fixed on the bowl.

Shen Ping continued, "I am the only one in my family. There is no messy mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, and no one dares to make you angry."

"But you have to give me a son. I heard Aunt Yang talk about the two you gave birth to before."

"You can go and see them, but don't give them things or money from home. I am your man, you have to think about this family."

Hearing this, Zhao Sanniang showed a sad look on her face, and then asked: "What if you can't give birth to a son?"

Shen Ping was stunned for a moment: "If you don't give birth, how do you know you can't give birth?"

He is old and doesn't want to have no one to mourn for him when he dies.

Seeing that she lowered her head and didn't speak, and didn't eat, he thought for a while and said, "If you can't give birth to a son, I won't do anything to you."

"Mr. Shen Xiao from our village has three daughters but no son. What can he do? He can't just divorce his wife."

In the words of the villagers, he is not destined to have a son.

"Don't think too much about it now. I'll take you to see the fields at home after dinner."

Zhao Sanniang responded softly and lowered her head to eat.

The two twins got up, washed, and went into the house to call people for dinner.

Shen Yuanshan came out of the house: "Brother, sister-in-law is not here, please go out."

"Eat first, then turn over the wasteland after dinner."

The wasteland had never been turned over, and the chickens were digging in the soil looking for insects to eat.

After the soil is turned over, there will be more insects underneath.

When Ji Wenhe came back, he saw them digging the soil in the wasteland and asked: "Why don't you rest at home?"

Shen Wenshan turned around and said, "We turned the soil over so that they can find insects to eat."

The chicks gathered on the side where the soil had been turned over, scratching at it with their claws.

He chased the geese and ducks into the wasteland and closed the door: "There are many white worms growing on that small piece of land. Let them in to eat in a few days."

Then he threw the wild grass and vegetables he had found into the ground, leaving some for himself to eat.

Looking back at the built shed.

Shen Rongshan found two large stones and put the wooden boards from his home on top.

If there are flat stones, you can place the basket on the stones instead of using wooden boards.

I bent down, picked up a basket and was about to go up the mountain when I heard Shen Ping's voice behind me.

Turning back, he smiled and said, "Uncle Ping, you have something to ask me."

He strode up to her and said, "I'll ask Rongshan when he's going to town and bring me half a pound of pork."

"That will have to wait until the end of the month. We'll go to town to purchase supplies at the end of the month."

"Okay, bring it back to me at the end of the month."

The smile on his face almost reached his ears.

Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "Uncle Ping, congratulations."

Finally found a wife.

Shen Ping smiled even more: "You are busy. I am worried about your Aunt Zhao being alone at home, so I will go back first."

"Hey, Uncle Ping, take care."

It seems that a lot has been changed.

She carried the basket home and sat by the door making knitting clothes. It was almost noon when the twins came back.

After dinner, the two helped to make silk lace.

After the hottest time, Ji Wenhe took a shovel to turn the soil, and the two of them stayed at home.

After more than an hour, I looked up at the sky and decided to go back to cook.

Coming out of the wasteland, I met Shen Guyan, whom I hadn't seen for a long time. He was holding a branch and coming down from the western hill.

He waved at her: "Gu Yan, I haven't seen you for a long time."

The little girl smiled immediately when she saw her, and trotted over to her: "Sister-in-law, are you turning the soil?"

"Yeah, why haven't I seen you for a while?"

She blinked her bright eyes and said, "Grandma said I was too dark and would be looked down upon by people when I was going to get married, so she asked me to try to make myself whiter at home."

"After my birthday on July 1st, I will be fifteen. Grandma said that she would ask Lin Yue Niang to look at my fortune."

"So anxious."

Look at how thin she is, she is still a child.

Shen Guyan smiled and nodded: "Sister-in-law, I want to look for a marriage partner. I want to find someone who is good to me, so that grandma won't beat me."

Ji Wenhe raised his hand to wipe off the dirt on her face and said distressedly: "Well, we will find it."

It's not up to her to decide whether to do it or not.

"Okay, go back quickly. If you have time, come and talk to me."

"Well, sister-in-law, I'm going back."

"it is good."

Ji Wenhe looked at her back, and only turned around and went home when she was out of sight.

When they got to the yard, he said, "Yuanshan, go and get rid of the pheasant. I'll boil some water."

"Sister-in-law, let me do the burning." Shen Wenshan put down the silk thread in his hand, "It's very hot in the summer."

It was as hot inside as outside.

"Okay, I'll pick some wild vegetables and stir-fry the purslane."

Ji Wenhe sat on a bench at the door and threw the sorted wild vegetables into the basin.

"By the way, Wenshan, when are your and your eldest brother's birthdays?"

"Our birthday is December 8th, and my eldest brother's birthday is March 15th."

"March 15th, so your eldest brother's birthday has already passed."

"Yes."

Their eldest brother's birthday was just like any other day, but he had no money, so he didn't celebrate his birthday.

Shen Wenshan started the fire and put branches in the bottom of the pot: "Sister-in-law, when is your birthday?"

Ji Wenhe frowned and thought.

I don’t remember the original owner’s birthday, so I’ll just say his birthday in his previous life.

"April 6th."

"Why didn't you tell me about your sister-in-law's birthday?"

They didn't think of asking, otherwise they could have celebrated her birthday.

"I forgot it myself."

If she hadn't met Shen Guyan at the foot of the mountain and he mentioned her birthday, she wouldn't have remembered it at all.

In her previous life, she never celebrated her birthday since her grandmother passed away.

"When it's your birthday, I'll give you a big celebration, with lots of fun."

"Hey, then your eldest brother should be eighteen, and his birthday has already passed."

"Well, my eldest brother is eighteen this year." Shen Wenshan asked, "Sister-in-law is sixteen?"

"That should be it." She couldn't remember when the original owner's birthday was. "You know, I forget a lot of things from the past."

"If I remember correctly, it was sixteen."

Forget it, don’t worry about this birthday. From now on, I will celebrate it according to my birthday in my previous life.

In the blink of an eye, it's the end of the month.

Four little girls came to her house holding the sewn dolls.

Shen Wanqing carefully put the doll into the basket: "Luckily we made it in time, we won't have to rush next month."

The doll was sewn with a hole left, but cotton and rags had not yet been filled in.

"Yes, you have worked hard this month. I made you get up early and work late. Next month, you won't be so rushed."

She discussed it with Yang Yun and decided that since the ones at twenty-five cents were selling well, they would just sell them at this price.

Because the delivery was due at the end of the month and they were afraid of being late, they got up at dawn and started embroidering.

The four little girls smiled and shook their heads.

Ji Wenhe closed the lid and said, "Okay, go home and wait. I'll bring the money to your house when I come back."

"Hey, thank you, sister-in-law."

"What are you thanking me for? You guys go home first. I'm going to town too."
