Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 331 Shen Liang's Marriage

"Aunt Miao is really nice. If it were some people, they would rather not give a betrothal gift at all."

Ji Wenhe nodded: "Yes, Aunt Miao and Uncle Zhuan are really good people, they are nice people with good temperaments."

After turning the corn, he turned around and looked at her: "Aunt Lan's family are all good people, and your life is not bad either."

Amelia Su smiled and said, “Yes, my mother-in-law and father-in-law are very good to me, and he is also very good to me and obeys me in everything.”

If she can avoid doing housework, she should be kept away from it.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw Lan Qiuhua coming over: "Aunt Lan, who's going to your house today?"

"I want Xiaolian to go. They have a small family and don't have to worry about getting hurt."

In the past, I could eat some meat and drink some soup.

"Okay, there are two tables of people in total and not many children. Just be careful." Ji Wenhe agreed.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then Lan Qiuhua took Su Xiaolian back.

Ji Wenhe returned home, put the pork ribs into the pot and put a large piece of wood in it.

I said something to Shen Rongshan and asked him to go back and check the fire later.

Shen Liang is the groom today, so he was not allowed to come to the pigpen.

I walked over and took a look, and saw freshly chopped pig grass in the basin.

He took another walk in the chicken coop, took the eggs home, and then went to Miao Zhaodi's house.

Ji Wenhe went into the kitchen and only Li Chunhong and Zhou Xiaoyu were there.

“Can I cook now?”

"Okay, you go ahead and fry it, and I'll light the fire for you." Zhou Xiaoyu said.

Li Chunhong stood up and said, "I'll go home first and come over later."

The two nodded.

Ji Wenhe opened the big pot and stirred it with a spoon. He put a lot of winter melon in it and stewed it until it was soft.

Because there were few people, the fried dishes did not need to be poured into a pot. Instead, they were divided into two plates. The excess was scooped out and placed aside for them to eat at home.

Miao Zhaodi came into the house smelling the aroma of the food: "It smells so good, Wen He's cooking is so good."

"Aunt Miao, are you looking for a bowl?" She looked back and forth on the shelf. "It's in the basket. I forgot to take it out to wash it."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll take it out, wash it, and serve her some food."

Find the bowl and chopsticks in the basket on the ground and wash them with clean water.

"Aunt Miao, give her a bowl of soup first. There's no rush for the dishes. There are still a few left to cook." Ji Wenhe stretched out his hand, "Give me the bowl, I'll serve the soup."

"Hey." Miao Zhaodi handed it over with a smile.

Zhou Xiaoyu tilted her head and looked at her from behind the stove: "Sister Miao, a big stone in my heart has fallen to the ground. You don't have to worry so much in the future. Look at you, you have white hair."

"Don't worry, I won't worry anymore, I can sleep well at night."

She has a lot of white hair on her head, all because of all the worries over the years, but now she feels at ease.

"Aunt Miao, here, come and get more after you finish drinking, it's a big pot."

"Okay, I'll take it to her first." Miao Zhaodi held the bowl and carefully pushed the door open and walked into the house. "Xiaoxi, drink some soup. Wait for Wenhe to finish cooking the dishes. I'll serve them to you."

"Thank you, mother."

"Silly child, we are a family from now on, why bother saying thank you or not, just drink."

Zhao Xiaoxi sniffed, held the bowl and drank in small sips.

The soup was delicious. She hadn’t had bone soup for a long time. No, she had never had bone soup before.

Only her younger brothers ate meat and ribs at home, and she could only watch from the side.

Her family always said that she ate too much, but she was never full and had no strength. She couldn't work and would be beaten and scolded by her family.

Miao Zhaodi sighed, raised her sleeves and wiped the tears from her face: "Don't cry, finish the bowl, I'll get you another bowl."

She nodded: "Yeah."

Ji Wenhe cooked some dishes and made some wild vegetable pancakes.

The table outside was set and she put the cake on it.

Turning around, he saw Shen Erniu coming over: "Uncle Shen, are you coming to the banquet?"

"Your Aunt Lan asked Xiaolian to come over. My mother-in-law came to see her and couldn't come. Anguo also went home, so she asked me to come over."

"Okay, then sit down and you can eat."

"Hey." He stood aside, waiting for Shen Ping to arrange a seat for him.

Ji Wenhe put the extra dishes in the cupboard, closed the door, and said to Miao Zhaodi who came in: "Aunt Miao, I put the cooked dishes in there, and I put the remaining bone soup in a ceramic pot, remember to drink it."

"Okay, go eat, I'll clean up here."

After the meal, he gave a gift money, said goodbye, and went home to harvest corn.

Throw the corn into the basket and cover it with a cloth.

Then I went to chop grass for the pigs and fed them once in the morning and once in the evening.

Shen Rongshan cooked at home and came down with a basket. Seeing her chopping pig grass at the door, he walked over and said, "Wen He, go and deliver the meal to Master. I'll chop the pig grass."

"Go ahead, I can do it."

"You go, I'll chop it."

"Okay then." Ji Wenhe put down the kitchen knife, "After you finish chopping, call them back to eat."

He nodded: "Okay."

Carrying a basket, I came to Zhaojia Village and saw two big black dogs running at the foot of the mountain from afar. Zhu Danian was sitting at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the person coming over, he smiled and said, "Wen He, have you eaten?"

"After dinner, Uncle Da Nian, I'll bring you food."

"I heard from the villagers that Shen Liang found a wife so quickly. I had never heard of it before."

"It's a little fast. We have a banquet today. Uncle Da Nian, let's go home and eat."

"Hey." He stood up and shouted, and the two dogs came running back.

Ji Wenhe took the pottery jar out of the basket, poured the soup into the bowl, and also had two dishes and a bowl of rice.

"Uncle Da Nian, have you seen a doctor recently?"

"No, I'm fine. I don't feel unwell."

"After dinner, I'll take you to see a doctor and have your pulse checked."

Zhu Danian took a sip of soup and waved his hand to refuse: "No, if I feel uncomfortable, I will go to him myself, don't worry about it."

He quickly changed the subject: "Wenshan's house will be finished soon."

"almost."

"His house is finished, and yours and Rongshan's are also being built quickly. Don't worry, take your time, and move in once it's finished."

Ji Wenhe nodded: "Well, it can be completed before the end of October anyway."

Move in after it’s built. There’s no formaldehyde in the house, so don’t worry about these things.

We chatted for a while, and then I waited for him to finish eating, wash the dishes, and boil a pot of hot water before going back.

When I reached the entrance of the village, I met Yang Cuicui coming back with the donkey.

"Aunt Yang, why are you pulling the donkey out now?"

"I lent my donkey cart to someone today. After running all day, I took it out to eat some grass and bring food to your uncle Da Nian."

"Yeah, I'm just about to go back."

"Okay, then you can go back soon. I'll go back to eat too."

"Hey, I'm leaving Aunt Yang."

When Ji Wenhe returned home, the three brothers were eating in the kitchen.

Shen Wenshan said: "Sister-in-law, come over and eat something."

"I'm full, you guys eat." He went into the house and sat on a small stool. "We'll harvest the winter melons a few days later and put them in Yuanshan's house after we're done."

Looking at Shen Yuanshan, he said, "Tomorrow when you go to sell goods, stop by Carpenter Li's house and take a look. If the wooden basin is ready, bring one back first."
