Song Hongguo carried the clothes and shoes she had changed into in a basin, and a piece of soap, and went to the stream outside the gate to wash them.

I don’t know why, but sitting on a stone by the stream and washing clothes gives me a different feeling than washing clothes at home. I stir up the water flowing down from the mountain, and my mood seems to become cheerful.

There is a row of weeping willows planted next to the stream, so even in summer, squatting here will not feel too hot. People in the village like to come here to wash clothes, vegetables, and even dishes.

While working, you can also have a bowel movement.

She lives at the foot of the hill, and the nearest neighbor is Qiao's house diagonally across the street. The door is closed now, so no one is chatting with her.

She also liked the tranquility. The cicadas chirped, the birds chirped, and the dumplings screamed around her, which only made the tranquility even more beautiful.

After washing slowly, I was about to enter the house when I heard the sound of gongs coming from the village. After a "dang-dang-dang", there seemed to be faint footsteps rushing to somewhere, mixed with a few vague sounds. Shouts of excitement.

Ling Zhi now knows more about things in the village than she does. When he saw this, he explained, "The village is going to divide the wheat. Each family will send a representative to the wheat field to collect it. I heard that they can get a little more this year."

Song Hongguo asked curiously, "How many pounds can each person weigh?"

Ling Zhi said, "It's divided according to centimeters and heads. Each person works seven and three, and you get... about ten kilograms, right? How about we go and take a look?"

No matter how old a child is, he still likes fun. Seeing that he and Ling Yuan were eager to try, Song Hongguo waved her hands and said, "You two go and have fun. Your Aunt Han Ying will be here soon. I will stay at home and wait for her."

"Okay, we'll be back later."

"Don't be in a hurry to come back, just play with your friends."

The two held hands and went out. Song Hongguo put straw hats on their heads, stuffed a handful of candies and melon seeds into their pockets, and gave them the usual safety instructions before watching them leave.

In future generations, parents will definitely not trust their children to go out and play on their own, but now, one or two-year-olds can be left alone at home, and older children are even more likely to run around. I have never heard of it. With adults following her, she had no choice but to do as the Romans do.

The system wanted to live broadcast the food distribution, so I happily followed suit.

Song Hongguo hung up her clothes and found that everything outside her home had been cleaned up. There really wasn't much work to do, so she found some reed curtains from the grain storage room in Dongping House and brought them to Shuixi Wash the sides.

These reed curtains are quite finely woven. They were probably used by the previous homeowner to hang on the windows to block the sun. She bought the curtains at home from the mall. The cotton and linen floral fabrics are full of pastoral flavor and can not only block the sun. , the key is to look good, these reed curtains just sit idle.

She wanted to reuse it and hang it under the front building. It would block the sun and also play a certain beautifying role.

Sure enough, the actual effect after hanging it was even better than she imagined. It blended the classic and pastoral atmosphere, giving it a unique charm.

She got interested and made a lot of changes and arrangements under the front building. Next to the bamboo on one side, there was still a set of bamboo tables and chairs, but there was an extra water tank. In the water tank stood a lotus, which was the most shy. It looks like it is being put away, with water droplets still rolling on the wide lotus leaves. It is full of greenery, complementing the bamboos, and even the air is much cooler.

On the other side was the Arhat bed, with flowers and plants at the head of the bed. In addition, there was a stone trough filled with water hyacinths, which looked full of life and made people happy.

After Song Hongguo finished her work, she clapped her hands with satisfaction and felt that there were only two flower stands left to make it more perfect.This time, she wanted to make it herself, using the original wooden sticks to fix them one by one. It should be more wild and interesting than the carefully crafted ones.

Just do it. She went to the firewood shed in the backyard to find suitable branches and sticks. When she was busy fiddling with them, Han Ying came and brought a bag of food and drink for the two children, as well as enough fabric to cut two sets of clothes. .

As soon as she entered, she drank a bowl of cold mung bean soup. The heat was instantly gone. Then she waved her cattail leaf fan and swayed in the rocking chair for a few times. Han Ying felt so comfortable that she just wanted to sigh.

"You are so good at enjoying yourself. The life you are living in this little life is really enviable..."

Song Hongguo put all kinds of snacks on most of the stone table, brewed a pot of barley tea, pinched the root peel, chewed it slowly, and said casually, "You can do it too. Didn't I tell you last time that there are some in the village?" Decorate the idle old house the way you like, why do you need to envy others?"

Han Ying laughed at herself, "What I lack is a house? It's the state of mind to decorate the house. Even if it is really decorated, you may not be able to move in. My grandpa, my father, they will not agree, even Xu Wei, huh, I’m afraid you’ll have to lecture me.”

Song Hongguo found it hard to answer this, so she changed the subject, "Do you and Xu Wei have any plans to get married?"

Han Ying was silent for a moment and shook her head, "He didn't mention it, and I didn't want to ask. Let's talk about it like this for now. I'm not in a hurry anyway. What about you? You and Huo Gong are in love. Do you have any plans to get married?"

Song Hongguo said, "There are no plans yet, but for Director Zhou's birthday at the end of the month, his brother and sister-in-law will be there."

Han Ying heard the subtext and joked with a smile, "Oh, is this the ugly daughter-in-law who wants to meet her parents-in-law?"

Song Hongguo turned her face away uncomfortably, "What in-laws? It's his brother and sister-in-law. It's not a formal meeting, it just happened to be on the same occasion for a meal."

"Okay, no need to explain. Explanation too much is just a cover-up. I understand!" Han Ying smiled as she watched her face turn red, and then said in a condescending manner, "Congratulations in advance, the beautiful man you hugged is back! I'm waiting to eat it." You two have wedding sweets and wine, and Mr. Huo values ​​you so much that he will definitely make the wedding decent and lively!"

Song Hongguo, "..."

It's getting farther and farther!
She pulled back, "It's still early. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? I don't know what the situation is in his family yet. What if..."

Han Yingying said with determination, "There is no chance. Even if his family disagrees, he will not listen. Huo Gong has always had his own ideas. It is said that he has made his own decisions since he was very young. , this is true for both study and work, and it makes no sense for marriage to be an exception."

"Besides, you are so outstanding. Unless you are blind, you will definitely be satisfied with a daughter-in-law like you coming in. How bright your face will be!"

"Of course, the Huo family's background is not low, and it's normal to be picky. Just relax, I guess. Huo Gong will definitely arrange everything. Oh, what should I do if I envy you even more?"

Han Ying said gloomily, "Xu Wei's parents are said to be very strict and very particular. They are both people who are used to giving orders on the stage. Alas, how low do you have to be when you are a daughter-in-law in his family? Stay low and act small. I'm willing to compromise, but with my temper, I won't cause the Xu family to get into trouble if I enter his house, right?"

Song Hongguo said, "You can move out after marriage and not live together, so there won't be so many conflicts."

Han Ying sneered, "Xu Wei is a filial son, he will live separately from his parents? It would be fine if his parents had been working in the city, but it won't be long before the city government moves to our county. By then, Xu Wei definitely won’t live in a single dormitory anymore.”

Song Hongguo was speechless for a moment.
