The Little Dumb Wife of the Mountain People

Chapter 55 Who is the person knocking on the door?
Wen Bao chuckled when he heard Yanzi's voice, and Song Dalang helped Wen Bao get out of the donkey cart carefully. Originally, Yanzi had already run halfway, but when he saw Song Dalang's cautious actions, he stopped immediately.

Although Yanzi was not very old, she was sensible early on. Seeing Song Dalang being so careful, she could guess whether Wen Bao was feeling unwell.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter with you?"

Yanzi just asked a question, but before Wen Bao could answer, he saw Aunt Wei and Aunt Ma walking over.

As people who have been there, Aunt Wei and Aunt Ma guessed that Wen Bao had it when they saw Song Dalang's careful look and Wen Bao's walking posture.

"Daughter-in-law, do you have it?"

Aunt Wei and Aunt Ma followed Yanzi to Wen Bao's side, spoke softly, and naturally Wen Bao nodded with a chuckle when he answered her.

"How many months?"

Originally, because Song Dalang came back alone the previous two times and Wen Bao didn't come back, Aunt Wei and Aunt Ma were worried that Wen Bao didn't want to come back, but they didn't expect that Wen Bao did.

Wen Bao used to have a good relationship with Aunt Wei and Aunt Ma, but now that she is three months old and has a stable fetal image, she will naturally not be embarrassed not to speak up when asked.

"It's just been three months, otherwise my mother wouldn't let me come back."

Although she was the one who wanted to stay in the town for a longer period of time, she told Song Dalang at the very beginning that she would keep Wen Bao at home.

Regarding Wu's kindness, Wen Bao was naturally at ease, and his affection for Wu's mother was even deeper.

As for Song Dalang, after learning that the fetal image was unstable in the first three months, he naturally dared not have any opinion on his mother-in-law's orders.

Aunt Wei and Aunt Ma had both given birth to children, so they naturally knew that the child was not stable within three months, and naturally praised Wen Baoniang for being right when she came back after being raised by her mother's family for three months.

Following the congratulations of the two, Wen Bao returned home with Song Dalang's support.

Song Dalang had already tidied up the cave and the courtyard, and Songjia Village had begun to warm up. Wen Bao didn't feel too cold after returning home.

Now it is almost the end of February. In spring, villagers in Songjia Village seldom go to the mountains to hunt. Apart from going to the mountains to pick mushrooms regularly, most of the villagers will go to the town or county to find work.

After eating at noon, Song Dalang went out to Song Wei's house, and asked Song Wei to inform the villagers that his family was looking for someone to work.

Song Wei was worried that Wen Bao was really angry and didn't need the villagers, but he didn't expect that he just came back

Let Song Dalang inform him.

"Da Lang, I heard from your aunt that your daughter-in-law is pregnant, you can treat her well and don't make her unhappy!"

When Uncle Wei gave such instructions, Song Dalang naturally smiled and nodded.

In fact, there is no need for others to ask for this matter. Now Song Dalang is looking forward to holding Wen Bao in his hands all day long.

As soon as the news of Song Dalang's family recruiting people to work came out, many people gathered around the yard of Song Dalang's house.

When these people didn't come, Wen Bao discussed with Song Dalang. This time, the workers followed Song Dalang into the mountains to dig grape seedlings and remove the redundant grape seedlings from the valley. The wages would be based on the town's wages.

But before that, there is one more thing to be busy.

"The day is set on the twelfth of March. It's just in time for you to come back, otherwise I will go to the town to find you."

Liquan and Zhang Lian are not too young, they made an agreement last year, and a year later, both of them happened to have their things ready, and they were waiting for Liquan to go to the town to pick up their relatives.

After all, Zhang Lian was not the daughter of the Chen family, and Aunt Ma came to Wen Bao today because she wanted something from Wen Bao.

"Auntie just wants to ask your mother if she can let Zhang Lian go out from your house. Auntie will not miss the things that should be given to her mother's family."

After listening to Aunt Ma's words, Wen Bao understood what she meant.

"Aunt Ma, it's easy to talk about it, just wait for Dalang to go to town and talk about it."

The marriage between Liquan and Zhang Lian was originally brought about by Wen Bao, now that Aunt Ma mentioned such a trivial matter, she would naturally not refuse.

Not to mention that my third brother's leg was healed by Zhang Lian. When Zhang Lian married to Songjia Village, and when he was going to have a baby, it would be safer to have someone who knew medicine.

Aunt Ma was not a rigid person either, after knowing that Zhang Lian was good at medicine, not only did she not get angry, she asked Liquan to send Zhang Lian several times of medicinal materials, and she liked Wen Bao as a matchmaker even more in her heart.

Hearing that Wen Bao agreed immediately, Aunt Ma immediately laughed.

But with a smile, Aunt Ma's expression changed, "At first I thought you could accompany Zhang Lian, but it's inconvenient for you to be pregnant now."

As soon as Aunt Ma's words came out, Wen Bao couldn't understand, but she didn't ask because she was afraid that Aunt Ma would find out.

"It's okay, there will be more opportunities in the future."

Wen Bao only replied that, because Aunt Ma had to go back to prepare to marry a wife, she left without sitting at Song Dalang's house for a while.

After Aunt Ma left, Song Dalang walked into the cave.

"Da Lang, just now Aunt Ma said that I can't go when Liquan is married, is there any taboo?"

Wen Bao thought about it and decided to ask Song Dalang. After all, she was only familiar with Song Dalang here, and Song Dalang was simple and honest. If something was wrong, she would just lie and go.

Sure enough, Song Dalang was not surprised when he heard Wen Bao's words, but he explained seriously: "You are pregnant, if you go to pick up the bride, you will offend the mother who gave you the baby. This is how our village is. I don't agree with the rules in other places. Know."

After hearing Song Dalang's words, Wen Bao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then remember to come back to see me when you come back to pick up your relatives, otherwise I will be bored at home alone."

When Song Dalang went to pick up the bride, Liquan went there, but now that Liquan was going to pick up the bride, Song Dalang naturally went too.

Song Dalang nodded naturally after hearing Wen Bao's words.

Song Dalang picked ten people from the village this time, and Liquan was busy getting married, so he didn't look for him this time, but because of what happened last year, the people who were selected this time were naturally beaming, and those who were not selected, He just greeted Song Dalang and picked them next time.

Now the entire Songjia Village knows that Song Dalang's family will build a house at the foot of the mountain in a few days, and Wen Bao bought the title deed with his dowry.

Because everyone knew this, when they lamented that Song Dalang had a good life and married a good wife, they also wanted to have a good relationship with Song Dalang's family, and when Song Dalang's family built a house, they could still use them.

When Song Dalang led people into the mountain to get grape seedlings, Wen Bao also called Yanzi to announce that she was harvesting wild vegetables and mushrooms.

"I don't want the ones that are not of good quality. You can get them at every doorstep, and the price is not high, but if every family does it seriously, you can still make some money."

Wen Bao was afraid that these people would hollow out the mountain to make money, so he specially told the public that the mushrooms were harvested every three days, and he also told the size and quality of the mushrooms. He also asked Yanzi to teach everyone how to pick mushrooms.

In fact, the best thing is that there are people in the village who know how to grow mountain mushrooms, but Wen Bao does not know this technique, so now she can only take advantage of the rainy spring to collect more, and when they are dry, they can be sent to the Wu family's restaurant.

Wu's restaurant has to buy these things from outside every year. Now that the people of Songjia Village have changed a lot, Wen Bao naturally wants to let the people of Songjia Village earn more money.

Song Dalang goes to the mountains to get grape seedlings in the valley every day, and according to Wen Bao's instructions, he will bring out a little and plant them around his house every day. If someone in the village wants them, Song Dalang will give them two.

Naturally, Wen Bao will not refuse this point. She doesn't plan to grow up this year. After all, she still has a baby. Next year, if this year's wine still sells well, she will encourage the villagers to plant a large number of grapes.

But maybe the people of Songjia Village now believe in Song Dalang and Wen Bao. Seeing Song Dalang's family planting grape seedlings, every family in the village planted a few grape seedlings one after another.

In March, the weather was getting warmer day by day. Wen Bao sat at home basking in the sun every day, collected things every three days, and then made simple arrangements for Song Dalang to send them to the town and then to the county.

Although mountain mushrooms, wild vegetables, and occasional prey are small and worthless, the price has doubled in the county.

Every family can earn more than a dozen or dozens of pennies every three days. Although it is not much, most of the people who do this are half-grown children in the family. They usually don’t do much work, but now they can earn money. Nature is better than nothing.

After returning for half a month, Wen Bao saw that the people in Songjia Village had indeed changed a lot, so he began to think about how to help Songjia Village.

Now she can rely on the Chen family's wine shop to distribute the money every month, but the people in Songjia Village are still so poor, and it was nothing before. Now that the people in Songjia Village have become more hardworking, she naturally wants to help out.

Besides, if only my family becomes rich, people will definitely think about it. Only when the whole village becomes rich, my family will not be conspicuous.

Wen Bao didn't tell Song Dalang about this plan, it just happened that these few days were the days when Li Quan got married, Wen Bao thought about discussing this matter with Zhang Lian when she got married.

For some reason, Wen Bao felt that Zhang Lian was not a simple person.

On the early morning of March [-]th, Wen Bao was still asleep in a daze, and Song Dalang quietly got up to go out.

Today Song Dalang is going to accompany Liquan to the town to pick up his relatives, and Zhang Lian is going out from Wen's house.

Wu Shi liked her daughter already, and Zhang Lian had saved Wen Chengshuang, so after Song Dalang told Aunt Ma what he meant, he immediately agreed.

And in order to give Zhang Lian a face, Wu also specially prepared a dowry for Zhang Lian.

Although this dowry was not as good as Wen Bao's, with the addition of Zhang Lian's original belongings, it was no less than Wen Bao's original dowry.

Wen Bao can't go to pick up the bride today, and she can't let the bride see that she is going to drink a wedding wine, Wen Bao touched his belly, but decided to stay at home and go to Zhang Lian after today.

Just after dawn, Wen Bao heard the sound of firecrackers, and when the sound of firecrackers sounded, the procession to pick up the bride went out.

It will be noon until the afternoon to pick up the bride, but Li's family is already busy at this moment.

Wen Bao didn't go out, but just listening to the movement outside, she knew that today must be very lively. She cooked gnocchi for herself at home alone, and cut dried shrimp into it, which was very fresh.

Just as Wen Bao had eaten, he was drowsy when he heard someone knocking on the door outside his courtyard. Wen Bao stood up with a frown. Song Dalang won't be back until the afternoon. Now everyone in the village must have gone to Li's family to join in the fun. Who is the person who knocked on the door?
