Wen Family Has a Wife

   Chapter 35 Autumn Harvest Season

   hurried to the backyard to look for Wen Yuanliang, "Boss, is it time for our family's food to be harvested?"

  Wen Yuanliang looked at Chen Ningya, whose eyes were full of doubts, and her voice became a little more vigilant, "Mother, what do you want to do? Let's talk about it first, our family's food has to be taxed, so I can't do it."

Chen Ningya rolled his eyes at him, "I don't need you to tell me about this, I'm not thinking about taking advantage of the weather to take back the grain to dry, and then go buy some grain, don't you know how expensive the grain is now? , let's quickly collect the grain, and go to the surrounding villages as much as possible, as long as someone is willing to sell the grain, we will buy it, and it's always right to stock up first."

  Wen Yuanliang breathed a sigh of relief, nodded approvingly, stood up like a little adult and patted the ashes on his body, and went out of the house with farm implements in a hurry, "I'll go to the field first, and I'll call you when I can."

   Seeing her son's reliable appearance, Chen Ningya showed a motherly smile.

   Wen Yuanliang, who had left the house, ran to Sun's house habitually. After knowing that Sun Laifu was in the field, he ran even faster. He didn't stop until he stood on the ridge of his own field and shouted out of breath, "Uncle Sun"

   Sun Laifu, who was facing the loess and turned his back to the sky, raised his head subconsciously when he heard the voice, grinned and said, "Yuanliang, what's up?"

  Wen Yuanliang pointed to his own field and asked vigorously, "Is my family's food harvested?"

Sun Laifu walked towards Wen Yuanliang step by step with a puzzled look. He didn't turn around until he heard Wen Yuanliang's words and went to the Wen family's fields. The Wen family had few fields, and the food they harvested was basically used to pay taxes. The villagers knew the situation of the Wen family. Occasionally, sympathetic eyes fell on Wen Yuanliang, and some warm-hearted uncles followed, walked around with Sun Laifu, and nodded in unison.

   "Yuanliang, I didn't expect you to be a good farmer. Your family's grain harvest will be bumper this year." Sun Laifu praised.

  Wen Yuanliang immediately grinned, who doesn't like to hear nice words, "Uncle Sun, since I can accept it, I'll call my mother to help now."

   "Your mother?" Sun Laifu raised his eyebrows, "Why is your mother and your father?"

Wen Yuanliang thought of what Chen Ningya had explained before, and did not dare to tell Wen Youshan's construction of the mountain road, so he could only vaguely say: "My father has gone into the mountains to hunt, and now there are a lot of things in the mountains, so I have to take advantage of this time to get more food to eat. ."

   When others heard this, they all shook their heads and sighed, as the food grown by the Wen family really could only go into the mountains to seek a living.

   Huang Ergou's father seemed to think of something, and said to Wen Yuanliang, "In this way, when the autumn harvest is over, let your father come to sit at home, I have a job to find him."

   Wen Yuanliang almost jumped with joy when he heard that he was alive.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, the others dispersed, only Sun Laifu kept it and whispered in Wen Yuanliang's ear: "You don't need to call your mother at this point, you can cut it first, and I'll help you later when I'm done with work. It's over in three days."

  Wen Yuanliang looked up at the crisp blue sky in autumn and nodded silently, but he didn't go back to call anyone.

Chen Ningya waited at home for most of the day and didn't see anyone, so she simply brought the farm tools and touched the field. Seeing Wen Yuanliang buried in the field and working hard, she was inexplicably sad, and she didn't say a word. She went down silently and started from the back. Although her speed was not fast, Wen Yuanliang was young, and the progress of the two was about the same.

  Because of the slow speed, both mother and son dared not stop, and they seemed to be dying from work until the sun was about to go down.

Sun Laifu came to help from his own land. He saw Chen Ningya at a glance, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He thought of the fact that he had scolded Sang Huai carelessly before, and felt embarrassed. Just when he was hesitating whether to say hello to Chen Ningya, he was behind him. Suddenly a figure appeared, "What are you doing, standing here in a daze."

  Sun Laifu was taken aback and rolled his eyes angrily, "You also said that the autumn harvest is here, and you don't care about the grain in the fields, why is your heart so big?"

   "I'm not here!" Wen Youshan said with a guilty conscience, afraid that Sun Laifu would ask more questions, he hurriedly slid down the ground and shouted, "Miss, eldest son, I'm here to help."

   Mother and son got up together, Wen Yuanliang looked at Chen Ningya in shock, "Mother, when did you come?"

   Looking at the piece of grain that Chen Ningya cut, Wen Yuanliang was even more speechless. He used to be the main force when Chen Ningya went to the field with him, but he didn't expect that the weak-looking mother would be as good as him in farm work.

  Chen Ningya wiped off her sweat and said with a chuckle, "I saw that you came here before you went back. You are serious in your work, and I won't quarrel with you."

  Wen Youshan understood the whole story and felt distressed for the two of them, and quickly said: "You all go back, I'll just come here, and I'll definitely go back when it's time for dinner."

  Sun Laifu came back to his senses and said, "Yes, yes, you guys go back and rest, I'll take you here with Brother Youshan, and it will be fine soon."

  Chen Ningya paused, nodded slightly towards the two of them, and said with a smile, "It's all hard work for you."

   Walking up the field, Chen Ningya turned around and said to Sun Laifu, "Brother Laifu, let's go home and eat. The hare brought back from the mountain yesterday was peeled and not cooked. I'll make rabbit meat for you tonight."

   "That's embarrassing, just eat whatever you want." Sun Laifu refused with a smile on his face. This is the case in the village.

  Chen Ningya smiled, noncommittal, and took away all the farm implements that Wen Youshan did not use. During this period, Wen Yuanliang wanted to help, but Chen Ningya refused, and the mother and son walked away slowly, talking and laughing.

  Sun Laifu looked at the backs of the two for a while, and sighed with Wen Youshan: "Brother, my sister-in-law has changed so much, I almost don't recognize it."

   Sun Laifu used to call Mrs. Chen Ningya Deng, but now she recognizes that she is Wen Youshan's wife and calls her sister-in-law.

  Wen Youshan said proudly: "I just said that your sister-in-law is the best woman in the world, you won't believe it!"

  Sun Laifu's mouth twitched, if he didn't believe the former Deng family, he is not sure about the current Deng family. It seems to be quite reliable and good-looking, which is really worth Wen Youshan's heartache.

  The two brothers were talking and laughing, but the work speed was not slow. Chen Ningya took a long time to cut the ground temperature and finished it in three or two seconds.

Here, when Chen Ningya and Wen Yuanliang returned home, they found that there was a back basket that Wen Youshan brought back outside the kitchen door. There were half a basket of taro and some chestnuts collected in the mountains. The villagers in Fushan Village didn't recognize it. Chen Ningya never found a chestnut tree in this mountain in her last life. Fortunately, she saw it in Zhuangzi when she was a child, and every time she entered the mountain, she was looking for food. Only then did she notice the chestnut tree that had yet to bear fruit. At that time, she marked around the tree and told Wen Youshan to harvest it. It seemed that it was mature now.
