farm daughter-in-law

Chapter 14

Zhang Xihua didn't remember her anymore, most of the women in the village put on a disguise, and it was really not easy to tell them apart for a while.There are not many close blood relatives of the He family, only those who are relatives in the village can be called uncle and aunt.

Zhang Xihua said: "Grandma hasn't got up yet, why don't you come in and sit down, Aunt Huang?"

Aunt Huang hesitated for a while, then walked into He's house.

"You sit in the room for a while, I'll call my mother-in-law to get up." Zhang Xihua moved a chair over and invited her to sit.

After hearing this, Aunt Huang quickly stood up, waved her hands again and again and said, "Nephew and daughter-in-law, you don't have to work hard, I'll just wait here for sister-in-law to wake up."

Having said that, Zhang Xihua still went to her father-in-law's room.He Zengshi had already woken up and was putting on clothes on his body. Seeing Zhang Xihua, he asked, "Who's coming outside?"

Zhang Xihua replied: "It is said to be Aunt Huang from the village head."

He Zeng nodded and said, "It's her, that's fine, I understand, you can go out."

Zhang Xihua went out of the room as she said, and there was still cooking on the stove, so she went to take care of it, but after a while, Mrs. He Zeng came in and said: "Master, you go to the cellar to get a basket of sweet potatoes, and then go to me. Measure a bucket of japonica rice in the room."

"Yes." Zhang Xihua agreed, and He Zeng stayed and watched the fire.

The cellar of the He family was dug in the yard, very close to the cattle house. The cellar entrance was made of solid stones. The wooden cover was opened, and the ladder was placed in the cellar. After the air dispersed, Zhang Xihua walked along the cellar. Ladder to climb down.

There are not only sweet potatoes in the cellar, but also other grains and vegetables. She picked up the sweet potatoes, but because they were too heavy to bring up at one time, she could only bring them up several times separately.

The baskets used in every household are of average size.The mother-in-law said that she would pick up a basket, but she didn't dare to add too much. Without explaining it, Zhang Xihua knew that Aunt Huang was here to borrow food.

The weather is not good, this year's grain harvest is definitely going to be poor, and this time of year is when there is a shortage of crops, Aunt Huang's family probably has no rice to cook, so they found the He family.

Zhang Xihua finished everything her mother-in-law told her, and put all the food in the main room. She glanced casually at Mrs. Huang, she seemed a little restless, and kept saying, "Thank you, daughter-in-law..."

Mrs. He Zeng also came to the main room and said, "Sister, let's take it home and eat first."

Aunt Huang said: "Thank you very much, sister. When the food is harvested, I will return it to you as soon as possible."

Who has food at home and would be ashamed to ask others to borrow it?This happens every year, so normal, He Zeng didn't say anything else, just said: "I just hope that God will rain in time..."

That's right... If it doesn't rain, everyone will have no way out.

Aunt Huang said: "Lizheng has already discussed with the elders of the various families in the village to hold a sacrifice at the Dragon King Temple to pray for rain in a few days, hoping to pray for rain."

Both sighed.

After Aunt Huang left, Mrs. He Zeng said to his wife: "That is the daughter-in-law of Huang Tianniu at the head of the village. You can call her Aunt Huang or Aunt Tianniu. There are five boys and one girl in her family. The girl is married in Xinghua Village. In the Liu family, none of the five boys in her family has married a wife so far, and the youngest is only six years old. It is a blessing to be able to have children, and you have to have enough to eat."

It was difficult to say these words in the face of others, He Zeng and others left before explaining to Zhang Xihua.The daughter-in-law is going to live in the village for the rest of her life, so she can't go wrong if she got to know the He family's network earlier.He Zeng said again: "The boys in her family are not stealing or cheating, but the land is only over five acres, and the annual grain production is not enough for the boys to eat. Sigh..."

Zhang Xihua just listened silently, for a moment she didn't understand what her mother-in-law wanted to express, was she lamenting the bad times, or implying how bad it would be to have children?She doesn't like many children and many blessings?

Zhang Xihua was a little apprehensive, despite the difficult livelihood, she still planned to give birth to a child as soon as possible.But what if her husband's family doesn't like her giving birth?
My mind was in a mess, and I couldn't make up my mind at all.

She is simply not the kind of person who loves to use her brain, and she will put aside what she can't figure out.Continue to do what you should do with peace of mind.

Add salt, drop two drops of oil into the porridge, and put it aside.Zhang Xihua cleaned the chicken coop and drained the manure from the pig pen. When her husband and the others came back, they would transport the manure to the fields.

When He Yuanyuan woke up, He Dashuan, He Sheng and his son had already returned home, and they could have dinner immediately after washing up.

The He family doesn't pay attention to the rule that the daughter-in-law and the wife don't go to the table. The family sits and eats together. The porridge in the morning is very thick, but it doesn't suit the appetite of the sister-in-law He Yuanyuan. She frowned and said: "Sister-in-law, don't mix the food together tomorrow morning Let’s cook it, it’s hard to eat.”

Zhang Xihua smiled awkwardly and didn't know how to answer, the sister-in-law was spoiled by the family, and she didn't know what the situation was now.Many families with little land have run out of food one after another.If you don't start saving now, what should you do if you don't have to save time in the future?
