farm daughter-in-law

Chapter 24

"En." Zhang Xihua felt a little guilty for no reason, and asked, "Where are your parents?" After thinking about it for a while, she still asked what He Sheng was doing, "Where's your brother-in-law?"

"Oh...they went to the field together." Zhang Hehua elongated her voice, kept her hands on her hands, and said at the same time: "Mother sees that you haven't gotten up, don't let us wake you up, let me make lunch at noon, brother-in-law He said it would not be too late to leave in the afternoon, so he went to work in the fields with his father and brother."

Zhang Hehua is already 11 years old and can already take care of everything at home, while Zhang Qisheng is 13 years old and is considered half of the labor force. Now he often works with his father.And Zhang Qiyuan is only six years old, his parents occasionally let him play with other children of the same age in the village, but this child was brought up by Zhang Xihua, and he is also a sensible and well-behaved little person.

Zhang Qiyuan often follows behind his parents, brothers and sisters, doing as much work as he can.

Hearing that her mother wouldn't let her sister wake her up, Zhang Xihua blushed and stopped talking to her sister. She went to the water tank to get a basin of water, and washed her face several times vigorously, so she didn't feel embarrassed hot.

Why do you always make jokes like this?The last time she was woken up by her mother-in-law at her husband's house, and this time she was bumped into by her mother at her mother's house. Zhang Xihua was already thin-skinned, but now she felt annoyed thousands of times. Naturally, He Sheng, the instigator, was also blamed.

Guessing it was already time, Zhang Xihua gathered up her mind and came out to help her younger sister. After she took care of making the meals, Zhang Hehua was free to take care of the chicken coop and pig coop, and accumulated the excrement accumulated by the livestock for several days Take it out and pick it into the cesspit specially composted.The next season's food will depend on these soil fertilizers.

The Zhang family didn’t have a well. When drinking water for washing vegetables, you can go to the public well in the village to pick it up. However, if you just do laundry and vegetables, you can also go to the river to wash.

The water tank at home is full of water, she plans to go to the river to wash and forget it, Zhang Xihua puts all the vegetables that are going to be boiled and eaten at noon today in a bamboo basket, and as for mother’s herbs, put them in another basket , After washing it later, she will decoct the medicine.

It only takes less than a quarter of an hour to walk from the Zhang family to the riverside. The village specially repaired the stone steps to make it easier for the villagers to wash.When she arrived, there were already five or six people there.

Zhang Xihua greeted several aunts and girls.These few people also enthusiastically chatted with Zhang Xihua, and they couldn't help asking how her new mother's life was going well.

"Xihua, I ran into your father walking with a young man when I went out this morning. Is that your man?" Aunt Liu and Mrs. Cai have a good relationship, so I asked directly at this time.

Zhang Xihua replied in a low voice: "It's him."

Aunt Liu joked: "You look really good! Looking at that body, you look very capable of work."

The husband works in the fields every day. He is really good at work, even if it is very hard, he will not make a sound.Like an old scalper, Zhang Xihua burst out laughing at the thought of this metaphor.

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Being someone else's daughter-in-law, what good thing did you think of just now? Let's have a good time together?"

"No..." Zhang Xihua said in a panic. She wanted to say something to change the subject, but her tongue got stuck for a moment, so she smiled awkwardly and said, "What's the fun here? Auntie, don't make fun of me..."

"Tsk tsk..." Aunt Liu smacked her mouth, and looked at Zhang Xihua several times with the eyes of someone who had passed by, until she looked down at her.Then Aunt Liu laughed and said, "Why are you so ashamed, when you get to Auntie's age and let go of everything, there's nothing to be ashamed of."

"Oh... she is still a little lady, how can she compare with you, a rough-skinned person who can joke about anything?" Another woman heard this, helped Zhang Xihua smooth things over, and laughed: "There are still How about a few unmarried girls, don't say anything nasty, you old woman, don't make fun of others."

Zhang Xihua silently washed the dishes, not knowing how to answer.She is not the kind of person who speaks very sharply, and she seldom chats with the women in the village.
