Chapter 27
After Fang Qing and Zhang Zelin arrived home, she unloaded the firewood into the firewood shed, and Zhang Zelin led the cows and horses into the cowshed and said.

"My wife, I'll go to my father's place to pick some vegetables and come back."

Fang Qing heard him say that he was going to pick vegetables at his mother's house, and thought for a moment that there were no fresh vegetables at home, and she would let her husband go to pick vegetables at his mother's house, but she couldn't let him go back empty-handed.

"Brother Lin, go to the kitchen and scoop up some fried meat and bring it to your father-in-law."

Zhang Zelin saw that his wife said to bring a bowl of meat to his father, and went back to the kitchen to scoop up a bowl of meat and put it in the basket.

Fang Qing unloaded the firewood and saw the people who walked out of the house in a hurry, shook his head and laughed, this world is really harsh on men, and the men here have the concept of three obediences and four virtues carved in their bones since childhood.

"Three obediences: obey mother at home, obey wife when married, obey daughter after wife dies.

The "Four Virtues" refer to: morality, speech, appearance, and workmanship. The most important thing for a man is to be moral, to be able to stand upright; Be dignified, prudent and polite, not frivolous; "work" refers to the way of family management, and the way of family management includes caring for husband and children, respecting the old and loving the young, and being diligent and thrifty."

Now that Zhang Zelin is married to her, if he wants to go back to his natal home, he has to tell her, and even if he wants to bring something to his father-in-law, he has to tell her before he dares to take it to his natal home.

"Daddy, second brother!" Zhang Zelin came to his mother's house with a small pannier on his back, and saw his father and younger brother sitting in the yard embroidering.

"Brother Lin (big brother), you're here!" Xia Ye and Zhang Ze'an heard the voice of their son (big brother) and looked towards the door.

"I'm here to pick some vegetables, but there are no fresh vegetables at home." Zhang Zelin explained his reason for coming, put down the basket, and took out a large bowl of fried meat he scooped up.

"Brother Lin, what are you doing with the meat?" Xia Ye's heart skipped a beat when he saw the bowl of meat.

"It was my wife who asked me to bring it to you." Zhang Zelin explained when he saw his father's reaction. He knew what his father was worried about. This is what his wife asked him to take!
"Brother Lin, you can't take things back to your mother's house in the future. This is not something a husband can do."

Although Xia Ye listened to his son's explanation, he was still worried about educating his son. After the brother and husband in the village get married, they can't take things from their wife's house to their natal family, otherwise people will say that this brother and husband are white-eyed wolves. .

"Daddy, the wife-lord is not that kind of person."

"Hehe! You little brother, now you are full of eyes, isn't it your wife?" Seeing the son who defended his daughter-in-law, Xia Ye laughed and scolded him. He was too young to understand the way his son looked at his daughter-in-law.

"Oh! Daddy, my elder brother's wife is my elder brother's wife. How could my elder brother not have a sister-in-law?" Zhang Ze'an spoke to help his elder brother.

Zhang Zelin glanced at his younger brother with a smile, seeing that it was too early to think about going back to cook, he quickly said: "Daddy, let's not talk about it, I have to go back to make dinner."

"Let me and you get the vegetables." Xia Ye put down the embroidery in her hand, clapped her hands and went to the vegetable garden with her eldest son.

Zhang Zelin and his father went to the vegetable garden, thinking of his grandfather talking about his younger brother's marriage a few days ago, now he asked if anyone came to propose marriage. "Father, someone has inquired about my brother's marriage these days."

Xia Ye listened to the eldest son's question and saw that no one was passing by at the intersection, then lowered his voice and said, "Yes, yes, the other party is from the next village. He heard that the conditions are good, but Dad is a little worried and wants to ask people to ask more. .

At night Fang Qing felt the person next to her pillow toss and turn, unable to sleep, "Brother Lin, what are you thinking, tell your wife what it is."

Hearing her voice, Zhang Zelin murmured, "I'm thinking about what my father said about Brother An's marriage." Zhang Zelin told Fang Qing what his father had said to him.

After Fang Qing heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Father-in-law has a sense of propriety. Brother An and the other party are not engaged yet. Inquire in advance about the other party's character, so that father-in-law can make up his mind."

The next day Zhang Zelin rubbed his waist, secretly thinking to let his wife take it easy in the future, but he couldn't sing and sing every night, he was really a little overwhelmed by the torment.

Fang Qing saw the person coming out rubbing his waist, and said shyly, "Brother Lin, I want to erect the fence today, so I should continue chopping firewood."

Zhang Zelin rolled his eyes at her. "Let's go chop some more firewood and come back, there isn't much firewood at home!"

Fang Qing suddenly thought that during this period of time, everyone in the village was harvesting wheat, and there was no woman in the father-in-law's house, so he didn't know if he would be busy.

"Brother Lin, my father-in-law's field is busy here, should we help?"

Zhang Zelin froze when asked, and immediately thought of what happened in these years, "My natal family has no land."

After Fang Qing heard what he said, he secretly scolded himself for talking nonsense without understanding the situation, which made the person in a bad mood in the morning.

"The year my mother fell ill, my family's land was sold for money to treat my mother's illness. Since my mother passed away, my father has been relying on embroidery to support the three of us!"

Fang Qing saw the person who was talking with his head down, and stretched out his hand to hold him in his arms.

"Brother Lin, you can't cry! You are married to me now, and Brother An will find his family in a year or two. Jing Fan (formerly known as Stone) will marry a husband and have children in a few years, and the days will be better as time goes by Father-in-law Your blessings lie ahead."

Hearing what his wife said, Zhang Zelin raised his head, "I didn't cry, I just felt a little uncomfortable." After he said this, he got up and prepared the food that he needed to bring today. For the next week, the wife and husband would chop firewood every day. I didn't continue to cut until I piled up the firewood room at home.

Fang Qing just washed up this morning when he saw someone running back from the vegetable garden excitedly.

"My wife, the watermelon seeds and the vegetable seedlings that were sown two days ago have grown."

Fang Qing heard the watermelon seeds grow, she rushed to the vegetable garden, Zhang Zelin happily followed behind his wife, the two walked into the vegetable garden, Zhang Zelin whispered: "This watermelon has to grow big before it can be transplanted."

"It looks like the vegetable seedlings we bought, so it can be moved."

"Let's build a fence today!" Zhang Zelin saw that all the vegetables in the vegetable garden were growing, but his fence was still there.

Fang Qing thought that he had been busy collecting firewood some time ago, and now that there was enough firewood, it was time to fence up the fence. "Brother Lin, it happens to be fine today, let's fence up the fence."

After breakfast, the two of them moved a few bundles of firewood to the vegetable garden in the backyard. Fang Qing inserted the firewood one by one to the edge of the vegetable garden to form a fence, and then tied two firewoods between the firewood and tied them with rope to strengthen the fence. A fence is made.

Seeing that the vegetable garden was surrounded by Zhang Zelin, he went back to the front yard to fetch water and cook vegetables. It was already dark when the work was done, and they were lying on the bed at night. Fang Qing shared her thoughts.

"Brother Lin, tomorrow you stay at home and I will go into the mountains."

"Why are you going to the mountains!"

"I'll go see if I can meet one or two prey."

"No, no, you can't go alone." Zhang Zelin didn't even want to refuse when his wife said that he was going to go hunting.

"I'd rather eat less than risk your life to hunt in the mountains."

"It's fine for me to go into the mountain. I'll come back at night when I go during the day, so you don't have to worry."
