farm daughter-in-law

Chapter 95

The joy of reuniting with an old friend and the worries about future life all disappeared at this moment. He looked at the hazy figure in front of him and knew it was his wife, so he wanted to hold her hand tightly. Zhang Xihua walked around him and complained: "I'm going to get some water now, He Lang, you lie down obediently."

He Sheng withdrew his hand, and leaned on the head of the bed in a more comfortable position.

When Zhang Xihua entered the room with a water basin, she saw that He Sheng had closed his eyes and was soundly asleep, so she slowed down, helped him take off his clothes, and then wiped his body little by little with a handkerchief.

There was a pair of hands gently caressing his body, He Sheng felt it in a daze, he just felt that his heart was ignited, when Zhang Xihua helped him clean up, He Sheng suddenly grabbed his wife forcibly, and with a little force, she was completely people into the arms.

He Sheng blushed, and said in a hoarse voice, "I almost forgot, didn't you get hurt anywhere?"

"No..." Zhang Xihua's hair was disheveled, and she turned her back and put on her clothes little by little. Because she was too flustered, she made several wrong buttons in a row to get them in order.

From the corner of the eye, you can see that the sun is shining outside, everything in the yard seems to be inlaid with gold, the father-in-law, mother-in-law and sister-in-law are all at home, can Zhang Xihua not panic?

After combing her hair and putting away the wooden basin and handkerchief that fell on the ground, Zhang Xihua finally calmed down, and whispered: "He Lang, you sleep for a while, I'll be in the yard, call me in if you need anything."

He Sheng didn't dare to look at his wife too much, so he just nodded.

What is the situation outside? After He Sheng woke up, he only talked to his father in detail, and did not talk to his mother or daughter-in-law. It took three days for the guards to collect all the taxes in Xiaxi Village, and a large amount of grain was shipped to the county government. The granary, in order to prevent accidents, the county government also sent heavy soldiers to guard it.

Zhang Xihua was worried. She thought about what to do with her natal family. He Sheng told her that the people who went to Yangxi Village had told her father-in-law and mother-in-law not to sell the food in a hurry, so Zhang Xihua felt relieved.

In fact, many shops in the county collected grain at a high price, and many people in Xiaxi Village were tempted. Some people had already bought a batch of grain to sell, and the money they got was three times higher than before.

However, the price of food has gone up, and the prices of other livelihood products such as oil and salt have also risen accordingly, and the common people have not taken advantage of it.

These things are beyond the control of farmers.

After the autumn harvest, the life of the He family was still quiet, and the clothes for the family were almost finished. Zhang Xihua still liked to go to Aunt He's house to chat when she was free.

Li Xiuniang's belly is already showing, and she suffered more during pregnancy than Zhang Xihua. Every time she saw Zhang Xihua, she would say two similar words: "Oh, my sister-in-law is lucky, my stomach is very troubled..."

Seeing Xiuniang complaining, Zhang Xihua still had a smile on her face, and most of the time she let her speak.

Today, Xiuniang and Aunt He were both at home, and several women were chatting in a hurry. Li Xiuniang was teased, saying that the baby in her belly must be a boy. Xiuniang was happy to hear that, clapped her hands and said: "I I guess he's a kid too."

When she was happy, she could only talk out of her head. Thinking of Zhang Xihua, who was also pregnant, she pointed at her stomach and smiled, "Sister-in-law, I reckon you are a girl. Girls are so cute."

"Ahem..." Second Aunt He snorted loudly, then glared at the mindless daughter-in-law, gritted her teeth and said, "What did you eat today, and you haven't tied your mouth yet?"

Xiuniang was embarrassed by her mother-in-law's unfaithful words, and realized that she had said something wrong, so she hurriedly laughed and said, "Oh, it's my mistake, boys and girls are all born by us, how can you not like it?" ?”

The more she explained, the darker Aunt He's face became, and she became even more annoyed at this brainless and show-loving daughter-in-law.If her son, He Fu, didn't like her, she wouldn't have hired Xiuniang from the Li family. After marrying the He family, although she worked fairly neatly, she was full of caressing problems. Aunt He didn't like this daughter-in-law very much. I also have two sons, both of whom will marry wives in the future, so maybe there will be estrangement between brothers.

Second Aunt He sighed heavily.

Seeing this, Zhang Xihua pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Xiu Niang said what was in my heart. I like both boys and girls. Asheng also said that he likes both."

Zhang Xihua helped to say something, and the atmosphere returned to lively.But Second Aunt He's heart still hasn't let go, and Li Xiuniang suddenly said again: "Sister-in-law, I heard that your family took money to offset taxes this year? Why didn't you tell us about this good thing?"

Uncle He's family originally wanted to use money to offset taxes, but unfortunately the servants were not accommodating. There was no other way, so the family had to hand over the grain. The remaining grain would have to be harvested next year, so they didn't know if it would be enough.

The money their family saved from selling charcoal this year is just right to pay taxes. It is also because the price of food has been rising day by day.
