"That little woman is really good-looking and blessed with a long life!"
"No, and he is still very diligent. After marrying into the 'Shou' family, he has been busy helping with the work all day long."
On the rice fields, two dark-skinned farmers were walking with their working tools while looking at the woman in the field in the distance, talking in a low voice, with envy in their eyes.
In the water village.
The news that Mr. Shou had married a particularly beautiful woman had already spread to every household. Even people in other villages had heard about it.
Before Yuan Dynasty, many people had seen that woman's appearance with their own eyes. After returning home, they beat their feet and chests, hating in their hearts why their families could not afford so much money to marry that woman back home.
"Speaking of which, that boy Yan, I didn't expect that he would be really promising now. I really didn't see it at the beginning!"
"It's just good luck. Who would have known that Mr. Ling Shi would like that boy so much."
As the two farmers walked away, their voices became smaller and smaller.
And in the farmland in the distance.
Father Yan held the hoe in one hand and held the rope in the other, carefully controlling the old cow in front of him to prevent it from wandering around.
Mr. Ji took a woman behind Yanfu, wearing a straw hat on her head, and sprinkled the seeds.
After plowing and hard work in spring, when autumn comes, the whole family depends on these harvests to survive, so neither Mr. Shi nor the woman dare to be careless.
"Yunhan, go and have a rest!"
After working for a while, Mrs. Xiao said to the sweating woman. Looking at her eldest daughter-in-law, Ms. Xiao was extremely satisfied. After all, this was the beauty that her eldest son had chosen at first sight.
"Mom, it's okay, I'm not tired."
Shi's words made the woman whose pretty face was covered with sweat laugh.
Seeing the woman's sweat dripping from her smiling eyes, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but reach out and take the small bamboo tower in the woman's arms.
"Mom, you're not tired!"
The woman named Junhan looked at Mr. Xiao with some panic.
But Mr. Xiao only said one word of obedience, and his eyes seemed to leave no room for doubt.
See the situation.
Junhan stood there a little helplessly, when he saw Mrs. Xiao carrying a small bamboo house on her back, and then carrying another small bamboo house to sow seeds.
She quickly followed step by step, secretly stretched out her two little hands, and used her strength to support the bamboo basket carried by the woman in front of her.
Mrs. Wu couldn't feel it, so she turned to look at her eldest daughter-in-law behind her. When she saw her eldest daughter-in-law lowering her head, she couldn't help but laugh.
"It was before. Now that you are here, don't be so tired. There are not many things to do. If Shou'er comes back next time and sees that you have lost weight, he will definitely blame me as a mother."
Shi said.
The sentence was full of ridicule and made the woman blush to the very bottom of her ears.
Until the noon break, the woman still looked shy.
On the field.
Shi and Yunhan took out the food they had prepared in the morning from a small bag. When they saw Yanfu in the distance, they took advantage of this moment to find grass for the cows.
"In the past, there were no old cows at home, and there were no elder brothers or younger brothers to help. When farming, we only relied on our hands and bodies. At that time, Shou'er, Shou'er's father, and your brother-in-law were too tired to move."
Mr. Shi said to Junhan: "Now I finally have a cow. Shou'er's father loves him so much that he wishes he could sleep with the cow in his arms!"
Mr. Ji pretended to be a joke.
But when I think of the scene at that time, Xiao's face, which has a slight trace of age, is full of nostalgia.
"Liangren Shou'er is fine and will recover after a while of rest. But Zhong Yan has been weak since he was a child and falls to the ground tired every day, but he has to be strong enough to continue helping."
Shi continued.
Perhaps thinking of the second son Yan'er's small body, lying panting in the field, with a look that made people feel sad, Xiao couldn't help but laugh.
"In the blink of an eye, these two boys have left home, your husband has enlisted in the army, and your brother-in-law has gone to Yicheng and has not come back until now!"
As he spoke, Mr. Xiao looked at the plowed fields in front of him with emotion on his face.
In the blink of an eye, of the two boys who were out of breath, one had already joined the army and had a family, and the other had gone to Yicheng.
"Mom, do you miss your uncle?"
Junhan on the side looked at the woman who would be his mother in the future and asked softly.
She couldn't help but be curious about her brother-in-law, her husband's biological brother.
Because even her beloved husband, not to mention ordinary people, talked about her brother-in-law several times on the wedding day, and looked out the door from time to time, as if looking forward to seeing her brother-in-law come back in the next moment.
Yan!
Thinking in his heart, Yunhan really wanted to meet this brother-in-law, a name he had heard countless times.
Before she got married, she occasionally heard people in the village mention this, but among the villagers, it seemed that this brother-in-law never had a very good reputation.
Because the villagers all said that the brother-in-law was lazy, unpromising, mentally ill, and withdrawn.
Now that she is married, she has heard, seen, and felt from her husband, as well as from her father and mother, that her brother-in-law seems to be different from what the villagers said.
"Think about it! It's been almost a year and it's still here."
When Mrs. Xiao heard her daughter-in-law's words, she nodded slightly.
At this time, Yan's father came over from a distance. Hearing Shi's words, he asked, "What year has it been?"
Father Yan looked at Mr.
"Speaking of Yan'er, Yan'er went to Yicheng and hasn't been back for almost a year. I don't know how Yan'er is doing. I miss you very much!"
Mr. Ji looked at Yan's father and said softly.
As she spoke, Mrs. Xiao's eyes couldn't help but turn red. How could a mother like her not miss her son?
In the previous Yuan Day, the longevity children who enlisted in the army were able to go home and get married, so that she, the mother, could see the appearance of her eldest son and cook delicious meals for him.
But after the second son Yan'er went to Yicheng, he didn't have time to come back in the first day, and it was almost a year ago. Although Yan'er asked someone to bring more or less money to the family every month, there was no one around. She
As a mother, I will always miss you.
"Yeah, almost a year!"
Father Yan sighed melancholy, time flies by so fast.
"After plowing the fields, how about I go to Yicheng and look for Yan'er."
Yan's father looked at his wife, Shi. Yan'er would bring money to the family every month. Now the family bought a cow with the money.
Nowadays, plowing the fields is much faster than before. After plowing the fields, he can go to Yicheng to find his second son Yan'er.
"What are you going to?"
After hearing Yan's father's words, Mrs. Xiao retorted angrily: "Yicheng is so far away. I don't know how long it will take you to come back. What will happen at home? Who will herd the cattle?"
Mr. Yan's words made Yan's father speechless. It seemed that he couldn't go, otherwise someone might come to steal the cattle.
"Well, why are Zilu here?"
Yan's father suddenly saw in the distance a young man in a green shirt who was wearing some old clothes, running towards here and murmuring softly.
Shi and Junhan also turned to look, and then Junhan recognized at a glance that the young man was their cousin, Zilu!
However, Junhan was also a little confused. Her husband had already told what her grandfather and uncle had done, as well as the separation of the family, so she was very confused as to why her husband's cousin Zi Lu came here.
"Uncle, aunt!"
Under the gaze of the three people, Zilu rolled up his old green shirt, ran over, and said breathlessly: "Zilu's father has come back, and I will invite my uncle, aunt, and cousin-in-law to have dinner together tonight!"
"
"Eldest brother is back?"
Hearing Zilu's words, Yan's father and Shi were both surprised.
Junhan was also a little surprised. Although she had never met her husband's uncle, she knew that it seemed that the uncle had gone to Qin before.
Unexpectedly, he had returned from Qin at this time.
"Eldest brother is back, let's go there!"
Yan's father looked at his wife, Shi, and spoke softly.
Yan's father still knew about the eldest brother's temperament. Coming back in such a high profile meant that the eldest brother was in Qin and had returned with fame.
Zilu on the side gradually slowed down at this moment, and he couldn't help but look at his cousin-in-law Yunhan from the corner of his eye.
Zilu was full of envy for his cousin.
Although his wife Cen Qing is also the most beautiful woman in the village, she is still inferior to this cousin-in-law.
This cousin-in-law not only has much whiter skin, but also has a much prettier face.
I thought that I, as a scholar, could marry Cen Qing as my wife, but my uncle and aunt could find such a beauty for my cousin Shou with money.
It is a lie to say that you can have balance in your heart!
Not to mention him, the villagers in the village and other villages all said that a woman marrying Shou was a blessing earned by Shou in his previous life.
"Uncle, let's go!"
Zilu said.
Although he was a little jealous of his cousin Shui Shou, Zilu immediately regained his confidence when he thought of his father.
His father has come back. In the future, he will be able to eat and drink well with his father. Even once he becomes an official, he will definitely go to the city to find some beautiful concubines.
Think of this.
Zilu's heart immediately became balanced and he had good expectations for the future.
It's not NT. The last thing is Zilu's jealousy and contempt for Shou.
There is a lot of trouble in small rural courtyards!
When my uncle returns to Linzi, he still needs to explain something.
