farm daughter-in-law

Chapter 250

Zhang Dafu finally felt relieved.The son-in-law is a scholar, and he never imagined that he would have a son-in-law who could read and write, marrying the He family, this is what He Dafu is most proud of.Whenever someone asked, he would tell others aloud.

After dinner was finished quietly, He Sheng's family of three accompanied the Zhang family to enjoy the shade in the courtyard. Brother Yu was a lovely person, and he was loved everywhere.The longer he grew up, the more he looked like He Sheng in appearance, but his temper was not at all different from that boring gourd of He Sheng, because he was loved by his family and taught to be very generous.

The sky is full of stars, and the moon is big and round. Zhang Qisheng took his little nephew to count the stars with him. Brother Yu pointed to the stars and counted one, two, three, four. He could only count to five, and couldn’t remember the number after five. up.Brother Yu looked at Zhang Qiyuan begging for help with a distressed expression on his face, and Zhang Qiyuan encouraged him: "Young uncle told Brother Yu just now, think about what's behind."

Brother Yu tilted his head to think, he didn’t remember it in his heart but he didn’t want to say it clearly, the little man already had self-awareness, so he pointed to the sky, trying to divert this topic, and didn’t want to continue counting stars, Brother Yu Voice milk said: "There are so many stars, there are countless stars!"

The whole family was playing with brother Yu and chatting with each other, Cai urged Zhang Xihua and the others to go to rest early.

Now that he already knew that He Sheng was going on a long trip and needed time to prepare his bags, Zhang Dafu didn't let He Sheng's family of three stay at home any longer, and urged them to go back early the next morning.

She didn't know what to prepare for her son-in-law, so Cai got up early in the morning to look for things for Zhang Xihua to bring home, but Zhang Xihua only took the dried herbs, and refused to take anything else.

On the return trip, the couple were relatively silent and hurried along the road. The air in the morning was very fresh, and the surrounding trees were shady. When they turned over the two mountains, they could vaguely see the river bank. vessel.

From a distance, a boatman shouted to them: "Hey, are those two going to take a boat? Come quickly, the boat is about to sail."

"Hey! Please wait for the two of us." When He Sheng turned his head, he saw his daughter-in-law's forehead was covered with fine sweat. "Are you tired? I'll lead you away."

"I'm not tired." Zhang Xihua said, she was about to reach her destination, and if she could take the boat earlier, she would go home earlier.

Although Zhang Xihua said so, He Sheng still waited for her to catch up with him, took her hand and helped her walk.

We boarded the boat smoothly and rushed back to Xiaxi Village, it was not time for lunch yet.

When He Zeng saw them coming home so early, he complained, "Why don't you have any manners at all? You can stay a few more days, so you can help your in-laws do more work."

Zhang Xihua couldn't bear her husband being blamed, so she said: "My parents asked me and A Sheng to return early. Mom, I think we have to check again to see if there are any omissions in the luggage prepared for A Sheng."

He Zeng said: "My mother's mother and father-in-law are too polite. I have arranged some things in the past two days. Xihua, can you see if it is suitable for you to take?"

Zhang Xihua immediately followed to check the luggage, and saw that there were a lot of miscellaneous things, such as pancakes, dried meat and other dry food, some clothes, and a few pairs of shoes.In addition, Mrs. He Zeng actually packed a fresh cotton quilt for He Sheng.

He Zeng said distressedly: "I don't know if it's cold over there. After a while, it will be autumn. Although Ah Sheng said that Taiping Prefecture is warm, I think it's better to always prepare a quilt."

The He family did not buy new cotton, nor did they grow cotton. The quilt was bought directly in the village.There is a family who married a daughter-in-law. Although the daughter-in-law's dowry included several quilts that were newly made, the cotton cores used inside were very frugal. Another family estimated that a quilt would cost at least seven or eight catties. At most, it only used four or five catties, and it can't warm people at all in winter.For this reason, the mother-in-law gossiped with others behind their backs and said a few words about the stinginess of her in-laws.

"It's good to prepare it, but it's not too heavy. It just takes up too much space." Zhang Xihua has never been out of the house, so she can't make up her mind.

Seeing that his mother and daughter-in-law were busy for him, He Sheng took a look at himself, took out some things that were not urgently needed, and said, "It's fine to pack lightly on the road, I'll take a few pairs of shoes, and two sets of clothes for a change of clothes. As for the quilt..."

"Forget it, I'll take it with me." He Sheng didn't want to disappoint his mother's intentions, and I heard that he often had to travel at night, and he was not afraid of catching cold when he was wrapped in a quilt.

He Zeng showed a relieved smile.

The family's crops were helped by the neighbors, and they were finished three days before He Sheng's trip.From then on, the members of the He family only waited for the day when He Sheng officially left.

During the period, Zhang Xihua made a lot of snacks for He Sheng. The jerky alone weighed more than ten catties, as well as spicy fried broad beans, and pancakes made of white flour and corn. The pancakes are full and delicious without being baked. Crisp, it filled He Sheng's baggage to the brim.

"I divided each item into two servings. You can keep the big one to eat on the way, and the other one is for the people who travel with you." Zhang Xihua reminded, when you are away from home, He Sheng has to rely on their people who have been running business all year round. According to the Buddha, there is not much money in the family, only some odds and ends to eat, and it is somewhat of a heart.

His wife was puffing out her stomach, busying herself, but He Sheng suddenly stretched out his hands and hugged her from behind.

"Huh?" Zhang Xihua showed a puzzled expression.

He Sheng was silent for a while, then said sullenly: "Xihua, can you say a few more words?"

Zhang Xihua was puzzled and said, "What did you say?"

He Sheng said: "Just say anything, I just want to listen to you more, and I think everything you say is good."

Zhang Xihua blushed, and said embarrassedly: "What are you talking about? I haven't heard enough on weekdays. I suddenly asked me to say it, and I don't know what to say."

He Sheng held her waist with one hand, and stroked her protruding belly with the other hand. The baby has not yet reached the stage of fetal movement. He Sheng can't feel the little guy at this time, and he feels a little disappointed.

"I will tell him about his father's deeds every day. Let our little guy go to sleep listening to his father's stories every day, and he will understand how much his father loves him." Zhang Xihua laughed softly.

He Sheng raised the corners of his mouth and nodded, "I must not forget to tell him the story of his father beating a two-hundred-jin wild boar heroically by himself."

Zhang Xihua said angrily, "I'm not ashamed to praise myself."

He Sheng said solemnly: "What I said is the truth. I was the one who beat the wild boar to death that day by myself."
