farm daughter-in-law

Chapter 11

He Dashuan finished the food with three sips, took another sip of water, and hurriedly stood up to pick up his wooden bucket to continue carrying the water.His body is quite strong, but his whole body is tanned like black charcoal. He used to be a tall man, but he has been bent over by the burden of life these years...

Zhang Xihua was also impatient. Seeing that the corn that had been planted for more than a few months was about to fail, how could she not be in a hurry?So she especially understands that her father-in-law doesn't want to delay for a moment.

She didn't believe in the theory of gods and ghosts, but now she folded her hands together, sincerely praying for a timely rain from God.

Because of the hard work of the father and son, the He family's corn field was not affected by the disaster, but there were also some young crops that were fruit-bearing and seemed to be dying. Zhang Xihua carefully searched for them and picked them back.

He Sheng was walking barefoot on the ridge of the field. He bowed his head and worked silently. A man from the neighboring field suddenly said, "He Sheng, your little lady is here. The newlyweds are really sweet!"

He didn't want to answer this question, and it was not easy to answer this question.Because of studying for several years and accepting the influence of Confucius and Mencius, He Sheng is always different from these authentic rough men in the village.

It is impossible for He Sheng to open his mouth to discuss nasty jokes with others unscrupulously.And these men who work in the fields like to talk nonsense when they have nothing to do.For example, which family's daughter-in-law has a big buttocks to give birth, which family's little girl has a thin willow waist, and that old widow is unruly. She doesn't refuse people when she touches it at night.

All kinds of things are mentioned, which make He Sheng feel that there is a generation gap between himself and them.

Seeing that He Sheng didn't answer, the man chuckled, and then asked treacherously: "He Sheng, let's say a few private words, how is your little lady? The feet that come out of the water, buddies feel full of joy."

Where is He Sheng who can discuss his daughter-in-law with others?Hearing this, he was immediately displeased.

Seeing Zhang Xihua approaching, the man quickly stopped talking, just turned his eyes around her body, and finally turned his head and walked over to He Sheng, thinking about something obscene, he grinned.

Zhang Xihua naturally didn't hear the man's words clearly, thinking that He Sheng was chatting with others, but the man's scrutiny still made her feel uncomfortable, so when she got closer, she only nodded to him, and then said to her husband: " Are you hungry? I brought roasted sweet potatoes, stop and fill your stomach first."

He Sheng didn't speak, and glanced at Zhang Xihua's feet. She was wearing straw sandals, and her jade feet inevitably showed some skin. Men and women in the village all dressed up like this, and there was nothing unusual. He didn't think so before, but now, The inexplicable feeling is not so pleasing to the eye.

He caught the food without saying a word, and He Sheng tore off the skin and started eating.

The atmosphere was a bit gloomy, Zhang Xihua couldn't figure out what was going to upset her husband, and when facing He Sheng, her tongue was always prone to knots, and she had a thousand words to say in her heart, and she could swallow them when they reached her tongue.

He Sheng handed the basket back to Zhang Xihua, and saw that her face was covered with beads of sweat, and her face, which was not good at first, gave another kind of throbbing because of her gentle and peaceful eyes.

The beads of sweat on the daughter-in-law's face rolled bigger and bigger, gathered together, and fell to the neck. Although he only glanced at it, He Sheng's Adam's apple rolled suddenly, and he was shocked by his strange behavior.

In order to hide the embarrassment, he took out the water bag and drank some water, then said coldly, "Go back."

Zhang Xihua replied: "Okay."

Seeing that Zhang Xihua's figure was far away, the man near the field laughed loudly and said: "Oh! You are very lucky, the wife at home is very delicate, and the little man can't hold her waist, she must be so happy at night Hahaha... According to Brother Yi, compared to Xiangqin, your daughter-in-law is not bad."

He Sheng suddenly turned his head and gave him a hard look, which made the man confused, but he thought for a while, thinking he had figured it out, and he said, "Before Xiangqin got married, which unmarried boy in the village didn't After thinking about it, how many people are jealous of you, but in the end, he climbed up to the magistrate of the county town. Good luck for that girl!"

There was more than half a sentence without speculation, and since there was nothing to say, He Sheng left this person in a hurry.

In summer, the days are long and the sun is still dark after sunset. Zhang Xihua rushed to make three pairs of straw shoes, one for her father-in-law, one for her mother-in-law, and one for her husband.As for my sister-in-law, she didn't like wearing straw sandals in the first place, and felt that it was a shameful thing to do.So Zhang Xihua didn't prepare a sister-in-law.

He Sheng caught the crucian carp yesterday and kept it in a water basin. Zhang Xihua planned to make a bowl of crucian carp soup for dinner. Drinking crucian carp soup often is good for the body, especially in this weather, it is definitely right to drink more.

Of the three fish, she only took one out, and the other two could be kept until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. After removing the scales and scraping off the gills, Zhang Xihua peeled off a few papayas picked by He Zengshi from the vegetable field, and cut them into pieces.
