Chapter 415 Satisfaction
Shen Rongshan stood up and went to get the bone soup from the pot.
He usually eats very fast, but today he deliberately slowed down and waited until they put down their chopsticks before he did the same.
Ji Wenhe said, "Uncle, aunt, let Wenshan take you around the village, and I will take Hongye with me."
Father Ding looked at Shen Rongshan and said, "Brother, come with us."
Knowing that he had contributed a lot to the family, the couple were no longer afraid of him.
Shen Rongshan nodded: "Okay."
Zhu Danian also followed.
Shen Yuanshan washes pots and dishes at home.
Ji Wenhe brought Ding Hongye to the dry land and said, "This is Yuanshan and Wenshan's land. They planted wheat last year. After the wheat is harvested, we will give the land to you to plant."
"The two plots of land over there were just watered with manure two days ago, and the vegetables haven't been planted yet. The two acres of land behind the pig pen belong to me and his elder brother, and the small piece of land to the west of the pig pen also belongs to me and his elder brother."
"The vegetable plot is seven parts, three parts for my family, and seven parts for Yuanshan and Wenshan. It's not divided yet. When the time comes, you can discuss it with Wenshan. If you don't want to plant them together, then ask the head of the village to separate the vegetable plot. Wenshan should have told you about it."
"Well, he told me about it, and I heard what he meant, that the two families should be combined."
"That's fine, you guys can discuss it anyway." Pointing to the north side of the mountainside, "We used to live in a cave, and moved down here after we built a house. Now it's empty, and it's quite cool in the summer."
"If it's too hot to live down the mountain, you can move into the cave, but there are only two rooms, so it's first come, first served."
Ding Hongye smiled and said, "Okay, whoever gets it first gets it."
The two of them walked towards the middle of the mountain, smiling.
Looking at the firewood piled under the shed, he exclaimed in surprise: "So much firewood."
"Yes, cut more and keep it there. When the firewood in the kitchen down the mountain is burned out, bring it up to save you from going up the mountain to cut firewood every few days. And if it rains, the firewood you cut will be wet and can't be burned."
He took the key, opened the door, and let her go in to take a look.
"There's nothing in the house right now, except for an old bed that I haven't moved out. I was thinking I could move it back in to live in during the summer to escape the heat. It's pretty cool in here during the summer."
Ding Hongye nodded. She felt that it was a bit cool when she came in.
After walking around the cave, we headed down the mountain to the fields.
"All the drinking and water we use at home comes from this stream. If you want to fetch water, you have to fetch it from upstream. You have to carry the water here for washing clothes and killing fish. You can't wash in the stream because people downstream may be washing vegetables and dishes."
Pointing to the small wooden bridge, he said, "Let's go. Go north from here. These four plots of land belong to our family. Then go south to the foot of the mountain. The second plot is ours. Then go to the middle here. There are two more plots. A total of six acres and seven mu of land."
"The land of the village head has been divided up. Their two sons went to work in the town and bought a house there. The old couple couldn't cultivate the land, so they gave it to the villagers to cultivate. Now they still have several plots of land that have not been divided up."
"After you get married, if you want to plant two more plots of land, you can go find the head of the village. Different plots of land require different amounts of grain. You can ask the head of the village for details. I don't remember how much grain he said he would collect, but it wasn't too much anyway."
Ding Hongye looked at the fields and asked: "Why doesn't the headman invite people to come and plant the fields?"
Ji Wenhe replied: "It's not easy to hire them. They all have land at home. When it comes to the busy farming season, they will focus on their own farm first. Besides, Aunt Qin is a bit stingy and won't pay too much. If the money is low, they might as well go to work in town."
She asked, "Are the people in the headman's family difficult to get along with?"
"That's not the case. The people in our village are all easy to get along with. Aunt Qin just has a bad mouth, but she's fine otherwise."
"Anyway, I don't come into contact with her often. I rarely come here to talk to her when I live my own life behind closed doors. We chat a little when we meet. Otherwise, we don't have any major conflicts. Don't worry about that."
He took her to the fields in the south to have a look and told her which fields belonged to their family. After taking a look around, the three of them prepared to go back.
Shen Wenshan put the fish, meat, clothes and shoes they bought in the car and sent them back. The two of them would ask someone to arrange a date for them tomorrow.
Shen Wenshan took Ding's father and mother with him. Ji Wenhe wanted to go with Shen Yuanshan to look for a marriage partner. He originally wanted Shen Rongshan to go with them, but Ding's father and mother said no need and they could go alone.
The date was agreed upon very quickly, and they could just go back there and not have to make another trip to take care of the family.
The couple came with worries and left with satisfaction.
After Ding's father returned to the village, the villagers asked him about his son-in-law's family and praised them highly.
Mother Ding took out the meat and ribs that were sent to her.
Father Ding came in and asked, "What did you give away?"
Ding Hongye replied: "Two catties of fatty pork, two fish, two catties of spareribs, two pheasants, and eggs. He also bought me two pairs of cloth and two pairs of shoes."
She saw the hairpin under her clothes: "Hey, he also bought me a hairpin."
Mother Ding smiled and said, "This child is thoughtful. Look below, there is another one."
Lift up the cloth and there is indeed a hairpin underneath.
She held it lovingly in her hands and smiled happily.
"Mom, their family has rented me some fabric, so will you buy it for me?"
Mother Ding looked at Father Ding and said, "Master, how about we buy some fabric for Hongye?"
Father Ding nodded and said, "Okay, when the date is set, you take the child with you. Forget it, I'll go with you and call your brother back."
In Shenjia Village, after Shen Rongshan sent the people away, he went to Zhao Sanniang's house to continue building the stove.
When I arrived at the gate of the yard, I saw her playing with the child.
"Aunt Zhao."
"Hey, Rongshan is here, and they left?"
"Well, Yuanshan sent them back."
"Well, this family didn't say anything, did they?"
"No, I'll take Wenshan and the others to the wedding tomorrow."
"That's good. Where's Wen He? Is he home?"
Shen Rongshan replied from inside the house: "She is at home."
Zhao Sanniang picked up the child and said, "Then I'll go to your house and play."
He and Shen Rongshan didn't have much to say, and it was quite awkward to stay in the yard.
Ji Wenhe came over from the east, saw her and smiled, "Aunt Zhao, come to our house and talk."
"I just came to your house to play. Rongshan went to build a stove for my family. Are you done with the housework?"
"No, I came back to get the rake. I'm going to till the fields and plant the rice seedlings in a couple of days. Aunt Zhao, I don't think Uncle Ping will be back."
"I don't know. Wait for two more days. If he doesn't come back in two days, I can only go by myself. Let Yujiao help me look after the child." Turning to look at the pigpen, "The wasteland next to your pigpen, plan to plant vegetables this year."
Ji Wenhe came out with a rake and said, "Here's the plan. We have pig manure at home. We can use it to water the fields every once in a while. I think the vegetables will grow well."
