After the Republic of China

People in the courtyard were all standing together, making it seem very crowded.

Aunt Luo is from the Northeast and is not used to ink. As she spoke, she pushed her son out.

Luo Congbai was speechless by his mother's actions and said hurriedly: "Well, I'm about to take them to see the scenery."

Shitou said directly: "Aunt Ling wants to see Grandma Zhang go down to the river to pick water shield."

This child, to be honest, made Lingzhu blush a little.

Aunt Luo understood and said happily: "Don't tell me, I was very curious when I first came here. If you go and have a look, you might be able to pick some tender water chestnuts."

After saying that, Aunt Luo called to her eldest daughter-in-law, "My dear, you go with Erzi and the others to help Aunt Zhang pick water shield and water chestnuts."

Sister-in-law Luo actually didn't want to go with her younger siblings. After all, they were both scholars and foreign-style. She, a peasant woman, was very reserved going with them.

But her mother-in-law said something, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

Shao Yunshi naturally saw her sister-in-law's discomfort and said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law is going too, that's great. This girl Ximei seemed to be in a hurry. She just carried a big baggage and went out alone with cabbage cores. Door, sister-in-law, help me go take a look and don’t get lost.”

Cai Xin was honest and didn't want to go, but was dragged away by Ximei.

Sister-in-law Luo is now very familiar with Shao Yunshi, and she no longer respects her younger siblings from a distance as before.

As soon as she heard what Shao Yunshi said, she knew that her delicate-hearted sister-in-law was trying to help her out, so she quickly agreed. After all, she felt more comfortable taking the first step.

Although the Zhang and Luo families belong to two Zhuangzi, they are not far apart from one another to the east and west.

Several people decided not to go by carriage and just walked and enjoyed the scenery.

Aunt Luo was worried about exhausting her daughter-in-law, but seeing that they were in such high spirits, she knew they couldn't stop them, so she hurriedly told them to stop, then turned and entered the house.

Everyone saw her stopping people and entering the house, so they waited in the courtyard.

Aunt Luo went into the house and rummaged around for a while, and soon came out, holding two excellent oil-paper umbrellas in her hands.

Holding an umbrella, Aunt Luo said earnestly, "Don't miss the height of summer. The sun is still very hot. If you go naked like this, you will definitely get tanned by the sun. After all, it is still summer."

When Lingzhu saw the umbrella Aunt Luo took out, she was immediately blinded. She didn't even have time to say thank you, so she picked up the umbrella and looked at it carefully.

While she was looking at it, she muttered, "I've never seen such a beautiful umbrella. Hey, there's a thin layer of yarn in it."

Aunt Luo said proudly: "This umbrella was sent to me by my aunt last time. I heard from Xiaodong that this umbrella was designed by my aunt herself. The gauze inside seems to be called Biying gauze, which is very expensive."

As she spoke, she looked at her daughter-in-law.

Shao Yunshi immediately understood what she meant. She smiled and nodded: "Well, it's Biyingsha. There aren't many of them, so it's really rare."

Seeing that her words were confirmed, Aunt Luo was even more happy, "I have never been willing to use it. If his eldest sister likes it, you can use it."

Not to mention, Aunt Luo is indeed very generous, which is what Uncle Luo liked about her back then.

Lingzhu didn't have the nerve to seize someone's love, and said hurriedly: "No, how can I ask for such a beautiful umbrella? Just ask Higu to give it to me later."

Aunt Luo smiled and said: "This umbrella is here for me only to be put away. With my old arms and legs, I am too embarrassed to hold this umbrella even if it rains. If his eldest sister doesn't mind, just take it." .”

Shao Yunshi really didn't have an umbrella suitable for giving away, so she followed: "Sister Zhu, just accept it."

After saying that, she said to Aunt Luo: "I didn't think carefully. Later I will give my mother an oilcloth flower umbrella, so that it can be used on rainy days." Lingzhu glanced at the oil paper in his hand The silk umbrella was indeed a useless parasol, so he didn’t push it away and nodded, “Then I’m not welcome.”

Seeing her accept it, Aunt Luo felt happy and said quickly: "We are all a family, so there is no need to be polite. Gu Gu, don't even think about giving another oilcloth umbrella. We have it at home."

Shao Yunshi smiled and did not answer. The umbrella must be given.

Uncle Luo saw that the girls were talking too much, so he urged them to leave.

Wandering around becomes more enjoyable when one person has an oil-paper umbrella in his hand to protect himself from the sun.

Not to mention, compared to the rough scenery in the north, the rural scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is not only more graceful, but also has a gentle and warm breeze.

The village in Xiahewan is not big, only a three-in-one house. However, there are many fruit trees and bamboos planted around it. From a distance, it looks quite spacious and quiet.

Ximei Caixin and Sister Luo came first.

Then, when Shao Yunshi and the others arrived, Nurse Miao and Sister Luo had already gone down to the pond to pick water shields and water chestnuts.

Zhang Lezi was taking the fish basket from a distance.

Shao Yunshi suddenly didn't dare to recognize the seventeen-year-old boy after not seeing him for several months. He had changed too much.

Seeing him looking over with a smile, Shao Yunshi hurriedly asked: "Did you go to the river to pull the net?"

Zhang Lezi has always followed his father to take care of the young lady's village. He sees many people of all kinds and is not afraid of the stage.

He first greeted Luo Congbai, and then replied: "Mom said you wanted to drink water shield and spinach soup, so I went to get some spinach fish."

Upon hearing this, Shao Yunshi's eyes lit up, and instead of being polite like Zhang Leizi, she asked directly: "Are there any shrimps?"

Shao Yunshi loves to eat fresh food. Whenever she comes to Xiahewan, Nanny Miao always cooks the freshly caught fish and shrimps in one pot. The nanny is good at cooking, so the shrimps cooked in this way are especially delicious.

Ling Zhu looked at Shao Yunshi, who showed a childish attitude in front of the young man, and said happily: "This is the nanny brother you often talk about, right? Why does he look so much more stable than you?"

Shao Yunshi regards her nanny's family as her own family, and treats her nanny brother Leizi as her own brother.

After hearing this, she said with some pride: "Of course, even though Lei Zi is simple and honest, he is very experienced in doing things."

Zhang Lezi was very embarrassed by what the young lady said, and his face was filled with shame.

Luo Congbai had the attitude of trying to hide something from his aunt, but he also knew that his aunt regarded Leizi as a relative. Seeing that Leizi was embarrassed, he hurriedly suppressed his sadness, helped Leizi untie his knot, and introduced Chang to him. Ling two people.

Zhang Lezi had already heard Ximei mention the identities of the two people in front of him, and greeted Lingzhu and Chang Shanchun politely.

Seeing that his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, Chang Shanchun knew that his sister-in-law probably didn't take this family seriously. Then, he also returned the gift politely.

Seeing Shao Yunshi picking up Leizi's fish basket and looking at it, Luo Congbai hurriedly said: "Okay, hurry up, don't wait too long, the fish will be dead and it will no longer be fresh."

Shao Yunshi had already seen the shrimps in the fish basket, which were quite big. She nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, let's go."

When we get here, it's only a few steps away, but we can't let the fish and shrimp die, so we'd better hurry into the yard.

Walking from the intersection to the courtyard, separated by a bamboo forest, there is a quietness in the shade, and no one who is leisurely wants to leave.

When they arrived at the backyard, Ximei had already washed various fruits and put them on plates.
