farm daughter-in-law

Chapter 231

In this season, most pumpkins are already old, so they have to be stored in the cellar after being picked directly. When Yan Niang was picking pumpkins yesterday, she found two tender pumpkins the size of a sea bowl in the vines. The vines are almost dry, and the pumpkins probably won’t grow big , simply took it off.

Zhang Xihua waved his hand and said: "Don't give it to me, my family collected a lot this year, you can keep it for yourself."

Yan Niang said: "Compared with the fresh one, the taste of the old one is much worse, how can it be the same? I'll take it with me later."

She bent down, smiled and said to Brother Yu: "Auntie will bring you a pumpkin, do Brother Yu want it?"

Brother Yu immediately nodded and said loudly, "Yes!"

Yanniang raised her head proudly, and smiled at Zhang Xihua, "Look, Brother Yu said he wants to eat."

"What does he know as a child?" Zhang Xihua shrugged, feeling a little helpless.

The two of them moved the bamboo chairs and sat chatting in the courtyard of the Jiang family. Yanniang suddenly lowered her voice and said to Zhang Xihua: "Sister Xihua, I heard that the family gave birth to a son. There is a banquet in the village."

She pointed in the direction of the Luo family.The news has already spread, and the son of the town official's family actually holds a full moon wine in our small village, which makes people feel both excited and very strange, and really puzzled.

Zhang Xihua immediately understood that Yanniang was referring to the family of Luo Xiangqin's uncle, Luo Ergou.Thinking of what Wang sang on the road just now, my mood is slightly complicated.

Yan Niang sighed, and said: "In this world, the less shameless you are, the better you will live. Look at them, they wear gold and silver, and don't worry about food and clothing. Now they are so lucky to give birth to the official. Son, don’t you have anything to worry about in the future?”

Zhang Xihua said: "Do you envy them?"

Yan Niang hurriedly said: "No! It's nothing, I just heard a few words from Aunt Jiang next door, and I was a little emotional."

Zhang Xihua said: "Everyone has to choose their own way of life, and it's her own business to live a good life. Imagine if you were allowed to live their life, would you be willing?"

Yanniang smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Xihua, you really misunderstood me. I never thought of going to live that kind of life. Brother Dashan and Brother Tieshan have treated me so well, I am already very satisfied, there is nothing else to do. Please."

As she spoke, Yan Niang felt a little shy, and slowly lowered her head.

Zhang Xihua chuckled, and stopped teasing her, and after the two chatted casually, Zhang Xihua planned to go home.

She locked the door before going out, and as soon as she got home, she saw several baskets of millet in the corner of the room, the rice was golden and full of grains.

There was the sound of rushing water from the well, and He Sheng's tall figure could be seen standing beside him at a glance.

Brother Yu shook off his mother's hand, ran over without saying a word, and shouted happily while running: "My father!"

He Sheng was washing his face, and the hair on his forehead was dripping with drops of water. He was covered in grass clippings and needlepoints of some grains. Because he didn't want his son to get his skin hurt, he was so angry when Brother Yu approached. , and immediately grabbed his son's arm with one hand.

"Don't bother your father, come to your mother." Zhang Xihua immediately pulled her son over. Brother Yu was forcibly held by his mother, and he was still a little dissatisfied. He pouted his mouth and shouted, "Mother is a villain. Mother is a villain!"

After He Sheng softly coaxed Son Hong, he asked, "Where did you go just now?" He Sheng couldn't help being curious when he came back and didn't see her mother and daughter.

Zhang Xihua narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "Just walking around the village, I went to visit Yan Niang's house and brought two tender pumpkins with me."

She pointed to the melons in the bamboo basket beside her.

"How do I get her pumpkins? Ours also has pumpkins on the vines. If you want to eat them, I'll pick them next to the cornfield." He Sheng smiled, thought for a while, and then said, "Go out for a walk." That's good, don't be bored in the pharmacy all day. But, if you want to go out, you have to wait until the sun goes down to go shopping."

Since he became a father, He Sheng also has the potential to be a bit nagging.

"Yeah." Zhang Xihua asked with a smile: "How much rice is left unfinished? Can I start cooking now?"

He Sheng looked at the sky and said, "It's ok. It's good to eat when the rice is cold. We can finish the work in another hour."

In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, and it gets dark slowly. After an hour, the rice grains are all threshed, and there is no need to thresh in the dark, and the family can go to bed early.

The sun was very hot every day, and He Sheng was completely dark. Fortunately, he was in a good state of mind. Zhang Xihua wiped the water from her husband's face, and said softly: "I boiled mung bean soup on the stove, and I will wait a while. You can take it along the way."

She originally wanted to make sour plum soup, but there was no hawthorn at home, and besides, just drinking sour plum soup was just to quench her thirst and relieve the summer heat, not to fill her stomach.I changed to cooking mung bean soup, which made it thicker, and my stomach was full after drinking it.

He Sheng nodded in agreement.

He set off in a hurry, picked up a basket and was about to go out again.
