farm daughter-in-law

Chapter 36

Zhang Xihua ran over and called the two of them to come to eat, but they didn't see each other for half an hour, He Sheng and the second uncle turned black, their faces and clothes were covered with charcoal.

Working in a charcoal cellar, how can you not get charcoal ashes.Even so, Zhang Xihua couldn't hide her laughter when she saw her husband's serious and dark face: "Why don't you go wash your face first?"

He Sheng glanced at the daughter-in-law who was secretly laughing, patted the clothes lightly with his hand, and said: "My second uncle and I went to that stream to take a bath, you avoid it and don't come here."

As he spoke, he pointed to a place where a small pool was formed not far away.

In the past, no female relatives came here, and these men had nothing to shy away from. They just took off their clothes and jumped into the pool to have a good wash.When He Sheng said it, he didn't want Zhang Xihua to run into him by accident, that's really not okay.

Zhang Xihua blushed, and replied in a low voice: "I brought your clothes, and you can change into clean ones later." Her natal family also had a few families burning charcoal, and there was no time to clean up when doing this work, so Zhang Xihua She had expected it early, and picked up a set of her husband's clothes before going out.

Before He Sheng left, Zhang Xihua handed him her handkerchief to use.

When the two were taking a bath in the pool, Zhang Xihua simply turned on the fire again and planned to make a pot of herbal tea to prevent heatstroke.Her husband's family didn't have any herbal medicines before, but Zhang Xihua would collect some medicinal herbs whenever she saw them on the road today, so she might use them later.

The herbal medicine for relieving summer heat has been picked up a few flavors, and some with different medicinal properties are selected and boiled in a pot with water. It is estimated that they can drink it after eating later.

On the other side, Second Uncle He and He Sheng in the pool occupied one side and washed without interfering with each other. Unlike Second Uncle He who blatantly stripped off his clothes without fear of being seen by others, He Sheng turned his back to Second Uncle He.

Second Uncle He also knew that his nephew was prone to urinating, like a shy girl. He washed faster than He Sheng, squatted aside and watched He Sheng slowly and carefully wipe his body with a handkerchief. , It was both angry and funny for a while.

Seeing that He Sheng was almost done, Second Uncle He said, "Ah Sheng, your wife, Second Uncle, looks pretty good, and you two will have a better life in the future."

He Sheng paused suddenly, nodded after a while and said, "I know."

Uncle He said again: "What do we ask for when we marry a daughter-in-law? Isn't it better to have children and a family to live a good life in a down-to-earth manner? It is good for a woman who knows the cold and hot in the family and is considerate to the man in the family."

This is Uncle He's heartfelt words.

Ever since He Sheng was divorced, he looked as usual on the surface, but Second Uncle He watched him grow up, and knew in his heart that his nephew was a little arrogant, and he probably didn't let it go completely, for fear that he would be left behind in the future. After treating Miss Zhang's family badly, Second Uncle He had no choice but to take the opportunity to preach.

He Sheng was silent for a moment, then nodded again.

Uncle He saw that he had obviously listened, so he didn't say any more, so as not to feel disgusted by the younger generation.

After He Sheng finished dressing, the uncle and nephew went to the thatched hut. Zhang Xihua had already set up a small table under the shade of the tree, put all the meals on it, and started eating when they came back.

Second Uncle He took a long stride and sat down at the table, and said with a smile: "Look at it, it's really delicious. Thank you for your hard work, my daughter-in-law. I'm going to be a savage in the mountains these days. I can't eat every meal." It’s dry food brought from home.”

Before entering the mountain, the family prepared a bag of cakes and a jar of pickles. Uncle He only needs to boil a pot of hot water every day to eat. He really misses hot meals.

Zhang Xihua chuckled, and said, "Second Uncle, let's eat it quickly. I'll cook enough for it." Among the relatives of the He family, this Second Uncle is the funniest, with no airs of an elder in him. Elder, Zhang Xihua is undoubtedly more relaxed.

He Sheng glanced at his wife, sat down silently, and said, "Sit down and eat together."

Zhang Xihua sat down obediently, and she started to serve wild vegetable soup for her husband and second uncle respectively. It is good for health to drink the soup first and then eat pancakes.

Lunch ended with a pleasant crunch.

Zhang Xihua cleaned the ladle, bowls and chopsticks, and He Sheng, who was sitting and taking a nap beside him, asked, "Have you got all the herbs you want to pick? There are many snakes and insects in the mountains, so you should be careful."

Zhang Xihua said: "It's enough to be blind, I don't know if I can meet, I will pay attention."

He Sheng thought for a while, then said, "I'll finish it later, and I'll go find it with you."

In fact, she is not afraid of snakes and insects. When she was at her mother's house, she searched all over the mountains and plains for things that could be imported or exchanged for money. Haven't seen anything?Zhang Xihua has already learned how to protect herself.

Although her husband had no expression when he spoke, and his tone was even colder, as if he was dealing with her, Zhang Xihua was still very happy after hearing this, because he must care about her.

Zhang Xihua said softly: "Then I'll wait for you to find it together."

After He Sheng finished speaking, he stood up and went to the charcoal cellar with Uncle He to get busy again, while Zhang Xihua stayed at the stove and looked at the herbal tea brewing in the pot.
