Shuangxi scooped water for Dani from the water tank. This water tank was purchased together with the pot, and it also came with a bucket. The Shen brothers picked up the water when they were free.
Dani was squatting in the Shen family's yard washing clothes, while Shuangxi was squatting on the ground chatting with her.
Since this ancient time, apart from the Shen brothers and the Yun brothers, Shuangxi has not had much contact with outsiders, let alone chatting with outsiders.
Shuangxi felt a little sympathy for Dani. It turned out that Dani's family name was Meng. The wife of the Meng family she saw today died in her husband's family. It happened that Meng's father's first wife, who was Dani's mother, died of illness.
.
As soon as the scriptures said this, Meng's father carried the Meng family woman back.
In the beginning, the Meng family's mother-in-law didn't want to see Dani, but after she had a child, she even disliked Dani even more.
Meng's father also had a daughter-in-law. From then on, Dani found it difficult to move around in this house.
Not long ago, the mother-in-law of the Meng family used the excuse of letting Dani live a good life and sent her to a wealthy family in the city to be a maid. Unexpectedly, she was sent back after a few months.
The reason why Dani didn't get married until she was fourteen was because the Meng family's mother-in-law wanted to stay at home and take care of her for a few more years. It was already too late, and now Dani was sent back by that wealthy family.
Rumors began to spread in the village, saying that Dani had seduced the master of that family in the town and was sent back.
"Dani, don't worry, there will definitely be someone willing to marry you." Shuangxi said sincerely. Someone will definitely like a girl as good as Dani.
At this time, Shen Yan and Shen Ziyan walked out of the house together with Shen Mo and Shen Ziyan. Shen Ziyan said warmly: "Xi'er, the three of us are going to prepare the land first, and we will follow the method you said."
Shuangxi nodded with a smile and said to Shen Ziyan: "Come back early and I will cook noodles for you."
"Okay! Okay! Wife, you are so kind." The smile on Shen Mo's face was always the most innocent and sincere.
"Girl of the Meng family, we brothers will leave first." Shen Ziyan greeted Meng Dani. As a host, you still need to be polite. I heard that Meng Dani also took good care of Shuangxi in the past.
Due to his wife's status, people in the village are not willing to associate with Shuangxi. It is also a good thing for Shuangxi to have a person like Dani who associates with Shuangxi.
Waiting for the Shen brothers to leave, Dani whispered: "They are so kind to you."
Shuangxi smiled and nodded, thinking about Shen Ziyan's daily life, except for the betrayal contract, which made her feel unhappy. He was really kind to her in every possible way.
"It's just that being a wife together is a bit bitter." Dani envied and sympathized with Shuangxi.
Dani turned over the clothes and did not stop washing the clothes in the tub, then asked: "Of them, which one do you like best?"
Shuangxi was stunned by this question, but after a moment Shuangxi said softly: "I like Ziyan."
"Ziyan...is that the steady and gentle Boss Shen?" Dani looked at Shuangxi with some gossip.
Shuangxi said softly: "Yeah."
Dani said with envy: "Your life is so good that you can meet such a man. Not to mention meeting such a man, even getting married is probably difficult."
***
In the next two days, the Shen brothers and Shuangxi were very busy. This kind of rice cannot be sown directly. Although rice can be grown by direct sowing, the yield will be low.
If you want to take the twenty taels of silver from Su Yu, you have to take someone else's money. Although it is a little troublesome to be loyal, you still have to plant the rice in the nursery first, wait for the seedlings to grow, and then transplant the rice.
Go to the rice fields.
The land used as a nursery cannot be a rice field filled with water directly. Instead, use a normal field with the soil leveled and a layer of plant ash mixed with it.
This is why Shuangxi grew up with two acres of fertile land.
As for the plant ash, it is a good thing. It can not only keep warm, because it is rich in phosphorus, potassium and other elements, which can promote plant growth and is a natural fertilizer. Moreover, because the plant ash is alkaline, it can also prevent insect damage to a certain extent.
Newly born seedlings are the most delicate, so it is best to be raised with vegetation and dust.
It took three days to cultivate and sow these two acres of fertile land, and the rest was almost low-lying land.
This low-lying land is difficult to cultivate. You must first divide the land into pieces and build earthen stems around the land. The middle part must be leveled. Otherwise, when it is time to transplant the rice seedlings, the inside will be uneven and the water will be there.
The depth of rice is different. If it is filled with water, it will be difficult to control the distance the rice is immersed in the water.
It would be very complicated for the Shen brothers to organize such a piece of land.
The ground was rather muddy, so Shuangxi was not allowed to go down to the ground, so Shuangxi had to squat in a relatively dry area and watch the Shen brothers busy.
Shuangxi glanced forward and saw two figures in the low-lying land not far away, as if they were carrying something into the ground and scattered it.
Besides them, would anyone else cultivate this low-lying land?
At this time, the people on the opposite side also noticed the Shen brothers and Shuangxi, and walked over quickly.
When they got closer, Shuangxi recognized it, and it turned out to be a mountain and a spring.
Dashan looked at the Shen brothers curiously and asked in confusion: "Why do you still dig this land lower? Instead of filling it with soil?"
Dashan and Quanzi, like the Shen family, came from the mountains. It was difficult to integrate into the environment of Qingshi Village for a while, so they didn't know that the Shen family had taken over this rice errand.
Except for the fact that the Yun family brothers always think about double happiness, the friendship between the Shen family and the Yun family is still good. After all, they have lived in the deep mountains for many years, otherwise they would not have gone wild boar hunting together.
After Shen Ziyan repaid the money, his attitude toward the Yun brothers became much better, and he patiently explained to them the reasons for what he did.
Dashan and Quanzi looked at each other, seeming a little frustrated. Although the work of digging the ground was a bit tiring, it was easy to do. It was easier than them carrying soil from the mountain to fill the land.
Shuangxi squatted there, feeling a little unbearable as he watched the Yun brothers carrying dirt back and forth.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, when the Shen brothers went back to eat, Dashan and Quanzi were still working on the machinery.
Shuangxi didn't know how many bags of soil the Yun brothers had carried during the day, but the speed of the return trip slowed down little by little.
When the sun set, the Shen brothers worked hard all day before they managed to clear out a small piece of land. However, on the other side of the mountain and spring, it was even more heart-wrenching to fill in the land. It was not as good as the Shen family had cleared out.
An area half the size of this land.
"Zi Yan, our land needs to be plowed, and the canals must be dug, so I'm afraid we won't be finished when it's time to plant rice..." Shuangxi said softly.
Shen Ziyan took a deep look at Shuangxi: "Xi'er wants to help the Yun brothers?"
Shuangxi shook her head quickly, although she couldn't bear it in her heart. She wanted to help, but she couldn't say that. There is a saying that rivals in love are extremely jealous when they meet. The Yun brothers had such thoughts towards themselves, and now they are in
Zi Yan said in front of him that he wanted to help the Yun brothers, but he was afraid that Zi Yan would definitely not agree, and even hurt Zi Yan's heart.
Shuangxi said softly: "I'm afraid you are too tired."
Shen Ziyan said with a sigh: "That's all, we always come out together, and we help each other a lot when we are in the mountains. Third brother, go and call them over."
Waiting for Dashan and Quanzi to come over. I heard that the Shen family wants to plant this rice with them. It would be a great pleasure. Not to mention that it will take a lot of effort for them to fill in the depression. I don’t know if it can be planted this year.
Produce food.
Just say that this opportunity allows me to have a lot of contact with Xi'er, so I must agree to it.
Since they decided to farm together with the Shen family, the Shen brothers had no need to rush to prepare the land, so they went home with the Shen brothers.
As soon as I got home, I saw an old woman about fifty years old standing in the yard of Shuangxi's house and looking around.
It was a woman who came, so Shuangxi naturally wanted to ask what was going on. Shuangxi walked quickly and said, "Mother-in-law, you are here..."
After saying this, Shuangxi and the old woman looked at each other.
The old woman saw that this lady of the Shen family was not very old, probably not even tall enough yet. She was a bit petite, but she had a blush on her face. She was many times better than when she was a girl in the An family.
He was wearing a blue jacket. This jacket seemed to have just been washed and was clean. Because the weather was still a bit cold in the morning and evening, Shen Ziyan did not allow Shuangxi to change into single clothes.
At this moment, Mrs. Shen's wife had a faint and calm smile on her face and was looking at her.
Shuangxi also looked at the old woman, and she looked familiar. She must have been from Qingshi Village wearing a set of gray shorts and shorts, and her hair was tied back with a blue turban.
The old woman said, "Is this the wife of the Shen family? I am the wife of the Xu family, Mrs. Wang, from the south end of this village." Her voice was very kind and approachable.
Although Shuangxi didn't understand why the Xu family's mother-in-law came suddenly because her family rarely interacted with people, she still smiled and said: "It turns out to be Grandma Wang. Come in quickly and have a bowl of water."
She is of a younger generation, so she can't just call the Xu family's mother-in-law directly. People in this village call these old people the mother-in-law of a certain family. As for the mother-in-law of a certain family, they just do it casually. Sometimes they call them husband's family.
The surname is sometimes called the mother-in-law's maiden name.
Granny Wang said quickly: "No, no, I'm here to find the Shen family's wife because I have something to do."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Shuangxi was confused.
"I'm here to ask Madam Shen if she wants to raise some chickens? All the chickens in Qingshi Village are bought from me." Granny Wang said with a smile. (To be continued. If you like this work
