farm daughter-in-law

Chapter 53

In the middle of this summer night, Yinhe's house is at the head of the village, very close to the field, and if you pay attention, you can hear the chirping of insects and frogs not far away, which looks peaceful and beautiful.Under the soft night, He Sheng was stunned by his wife's question...

The bowl he held in his hand contained thick bean soup. Several kinds of beans were boiled so soft that the bean grains could no longer be distinguished. He picked it up and took a sip. The taste was very delicate, and when it rolled down his throat, he could feel the finely crushed bean dregs slipped into the stomach.He Sheng liked it very much. In order to taste this taste, he kept drinking it slowly. Facing Zhang Xihua's expectant eyes, He Sheng lowered his head and drank the bottom of the bowl before replying: "I like it." .”

When he reached the marriageable age, He Sheng had fantasies about the little man in the future. Moreover, he is not young now, and even He Fu's daughter, Sister Yun, is toddling. If Xiangqin hadn't delayed him, he would be I had a child two years ago.Although the parents didn't say it clearly, he knew that they wanted to have a grandson in their hearts. He Sheng calmed down and said very carefully: "We should have a baby earlier."

Immediately, Zhang Xihua felt a warm current from the soles of her feet up to the top of her head, rolling in a circle, but stopped at her heart, the warm color was so thick that it couldn't be melted away, it seemed that she didn't plan to move after occupying her heart .She could only blush and hum slightly.

If the subject of giving birth to a baby was discussed in detail, both of them would feel embarrassed. He Sheng slightly turned his face away from her eyes, and seeing that he was still holding the bowl, he asked aloud, "Is there any more?"

Zhang Xihua pursed her lips and smiled, stretched out her hand to take the bowl, and persuaded in a low voice: "I've already had two bowls, it's not good to drink too much, I'll boil it for you again tomorrow."

After persuading him to eat another pancake, He Sheng sat aside to digest his food when he was full, and Zhang Xihua immediately stood up to clean up the table. Installed inside, the well is in the yard, and she doesn't have to move a few steps to squat aside to wash.

He Sheng sat for a while, then got up to fetch water for her, brought up several buckets in a row, rinsed the bowls and chopsticks several times, and the dishes were clean. The family built a small channel next to the well, leading directly to the vegetable field, where a small channel was dug. The pond is very convenient to water on weekdays, so the dirty water is not wasted, and the vegetables in the yard are flourishing because of this.

Zhang Xihua said: "Don't wash with cold water, I'll warm the water on the stove, I'll wash with hot water later and then go to bed?" The husband may be greedy for cold, or it may be troublesome, so he doesn't often use warm water.

He Sheng thought for a while and replied: "No hurry, I don't need to go into the mountains tomorrow, I'll sit down for a while." I just ate a lot, and now my stomach is distended, and I can wash it when I feel comfortable.

Zhang Xihua asked pleasantly, "You don't need to go to the charcoal cellar tomorrow?"

He went up and down the mountain like a spinning top for more than [-] days, and the charcoal fire at home could hardly be piled up. What's more, he was tanned, and his eyes were black and black. He must have been sleeping in the thatched house all the time.It would be great if the work is over, Zhang Xihua is of course very happy.

The daughter-in-law's tone was too brisk, and He Sheng pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a sullen smile: "I don't need it tomorrow, I'm almost done with my work, and I will let Ah Fu take care of the leftovers. I will take a rest for a day, and then I will go to the county with my second uncle." sell charcoal."

Hearing that he was going to sell charcoal fire the day after tomorrow, it would take at least a few days, and he would be able to stay at home after selling out, thinking of Zhang Xihua, he quickly restrained his joy from the bottom of his heart.

When He Sheng went to wash up, Zhang Xihua went back to the room first, made the bed, and lay down on the inside by herself. He Sheng stretched out his arms to hug her when he returned to the room.

Thinking of not having to go out tomorrow, the couple spent a lot of time.

The rooster began to crow when the time came. He Zeng stood up and approved the clothes. The first step was to open the chicken coop and let the chickens out to peck. ears.He Zeng groped around in the chicken coop and found five or six eggs.

He Zeng frowned, that mottled hen didn't lay eggs today, did she lay eggs yesterday?He Zeng remembered that his daughter-in-law collected the eggs yesterday, and just opened his mouth to call someone, looking at the quiet room of his son and daughter-in-law, he pursed his lips and suddenly did not intend to speak out.

He Dashuan got up when the wind and rain were not calm, went around the corn field, and came back with a hoe on his shoulder. Seeing his old wife washing vegetables by the well, he said, "Ah Sheng hasn't woken up yet? Tell him to get up early and go to Yuan Hui's place." Come over to the ox cart house. Get ready early, so as not to miss tomorrow's business."

The old scalper raised by the He family died after suffering from an illness the year before last, so the family plowed and plowed the land by renting grain in the village, or borrowing it from the son-in-law’s house.

He Yuanhui married in Xinghua Village, which is seven or eight miles away from Xiaxi Village. It is not close, but it is not far. It takes an hour to travel quickly.

Usually He Yuanhui would go back to her natal home when she had free time, but recently she was also busy with the drought and never came back.Her husband's family was a rich peasant, and life was easier than that of the He family. Because He Yuanhui was born good-looking, Dalang from the Li family fell in love with him when he passed by the village, and begged to go home.
