farm daughter-in-law

Chapter 49

Aunt Huang's family lived in the middle of the village, about half an hour's walk from He Sheng's house. There were many small roads in Xiaxi Village from the beginning to the end of the village.

The Huang family is just an ordinary small courtyard, because there are five boys raised in the family, but there are only three rooms for people to live in. Except for Huang Tianniu and his wife, the other rooms are divided into small rooms with bamboo curtains, and there is also a small room in the main room. There are beds in the cubicle, and it feels very crowded once you enter.

Aunt Huang smiled and said, "Wait, I'll measure out a liter of black beans for you."

She was a little embarrassed, and brought a basket of sweet potatoes from home to exchange. Since Zhang Xihua didn't use much, Aunt Huang directly offered her a liter.

Before leaving the house, Mrs. He Zeng asked her to bring sweet potatoes in exchange, saying that the Huang family is struggling these days, so don't take advantage of these cheap things. How could Zhang Xihua just accept Aunt Huang's things directly, and hurriedly refused: "Boiled black beans are also food. Auntie, don't do this. If so, my mother-in-law will blame me."

Aunt Huang refused to accept, so she finally had to move out her mother-in-law to hold the line.

Aunt Huang sighed, and said: "Your mother-in-law is too polite, okay! Then I will accept it." This basket is enough for the whole family to feed for two days. If she really refused, she would really be reluctant to part with it.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xihua asked again: "Auntie, have you left any seeds here? Why don't you give me some, and I will plant some myself when there is spare land next year."

In addition to eating at home, most of the black beans are cooked and fed to donkeys.Basically, no one planted large areas, and generally only planted on ridges and mountains.

The Huang family raised a donkey before, but the fifth son became seriously ill and owed a lot of debts. The family had no intention of selling the donkey, but in the end they had no choice but to sell it for some money.

So if you don't get sick, it will really drag down the whole family.

After hearing Zhang Xihua's words, Aunt Huang hurriedly said, "Wait, I'll find some for you." The ones reserved for seeds were large and full-bodied, and she had developed a habit, no matter whether they were planted or not, they would be specially selected every year.

When she got the seeds, Zhang Xihua was very happy. When she was about to leave Huang's house, she happened to bump into a young man, estimated to be fourteen, five or sixteen years old.

He carried the burden and called softly, "Sister He Sheng."

"Hey..." Zhang Xihua didn't know who he was, so he could only ask with a smile, "You just came back from the field? It's always hot outside."

He scratched his head and said with a simple and honest smile, "It's a little hot."

Aunt Huang in the room immediately shouted: "Jia Wang, hurry up and eat a bowl of porridge and go to Xiakeng to fetch water with your father."

Zhang Xihua thought to herself, so he is Huang Jiawang, and she often hears her complaints from her sister-in-law, saying how annoying Huang Jiawang is, but Zhang Xihua looks okay to herself.

I really don't understand the mind of a young girl.

However, the Huang family's family is indeed poor. The five brothers will marry wives in the future, and they still rely on borrowed food to survive. It is understandable that their mother-in-law is unwilling.

Huang Jiawang responded loudly: "Understood, mother."

Seeing that Zhang Xihua was about to leave, he hurriedly asked: "Sister-in-law He Sheng, is brother He Sheng still working in the charcoal cellar today?"

Zhang Xihua tilted her head and replied: "Yes." But she was a little puzzled in her heart, seeing the boy hesitating to speak a few times, she guessed a little bit of what he meant.

Huang Jiawang suppressed his face and asked, "Yuan... Is Yuan Yuan at home recently?"

It was a hot day, and the mother-in-law prevented my sister-in-law from going out. One was to control her temperament, and the other was to let her learn how to cook more. The girl was old and couldn't go out all the time.

You must know that there are many little sisters in He Yuanyuan who are from other villages. She often goes out for a long time without watching, and doesn't know what to do with those little girls. He Zeng can't change her temper.

Zhang Xihua thought for a moment, and could only answer: "Yes, she has been at home recently."

Huang Jiawang smiled and said: "It's better to stay at home, the sun is hot outside, otherwise it would be bad if I get tanned like this."

Huang Jiawang was indeed a bit dark, Zhang Xihua pursed her lips and smiled, said a few words and went home.

When He Yuanyuan learned that his sister-in-law had gone to Huang's house, he immediately twisted his mouth and turned his face, complaining: "Sister-in-law, why did you go to Huang's family? Hei Douli's natal family also has it. If I knew it, you would tell me, I'll go ask her what she wants." That's it."

Liniang is one of He Yuanyuan's young sisters, who live at the end of the village. They often do needlework together and talk privately, and Liniang will also come to He's house, always huddled in the room, the two of them The topic of the little girl can never be finished.

Zhang Xihua could only smile awkwardly, and did not express her opinion.

He Yuanyuan asked a little worried: "What did he tell you?" Don't talk nonsense, or it would be too embarrassing to lose face to your brother-in-law.

Zhang Xihua saw the sister-in-law's expression as if she wanted to eat people, and immediately said: "I didn't say anything, I just asked if you are at home recently."

He Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face relaxed, but he still said: "Sister-in-law, I don't like that Huang Jiawang, so you should visit his house less in the future, okay?"

Zhang Xihua hurriedly said: "It's okay, why should I go to his house?"

He Yuanyuan grinned and said: "Anyway, don't go if you have something to do, I hate the family surnamed Huang." After a pause, she whispered: "It's all my mother's fault, I always have something to do with his family."
