The Little Dumb Wife of the Mountain People

Chapter 67
Wen Bao didn't know that his Song Dalang decided to hide something that would make his daughter-in-law unhappy. The older Wen Bao was pregnant, the more inconvenient her actions became.

Because she was afraid of this ancient medical technique, and because she was still young, after Zhang Lian said that exercising more would make children younger and better, she began to control her appetite intentionally.

At first Song Dalang wanted to persuade Wen Bao to eat more, but after Wen Bao told him about it, Song Dalang stopped trying to persuade her.

Not only that, after knowing that the baby was born well, Song Dalang even walked around with Wen Bao after dinner every day.

It was the same tonight, after the couple had dinner, Song Dalang washed the dishes, and after cleaning up the house, he helped Wen Bao to go for a walk in the yard.

At first Wen Bao didn't find anything wrong with Song Dalang, but after walking around for two times, Song Dalang would say a few words anyway, but today Wen Bao didn't hear Song Dalang speak, so he realized something was wrong.

"What's wrong with you Dalang?"

Wen Bao asked casually, and never thought that Song Dalang was hiding something from him, but he couldn't help but look at him in surprise because he didn't hear Song Dalang's answer after asking this question.

Song Dalang is really not a person who is good at lying, he looks flustered when Wen Bao sees it like this, his expression tells others that he has something to hide from Wen Bao.

In the evening, Wen Bao had no idea, but now he can see clearly that Song Dalang really has something to hide from him.

"Dalang, are you hiding something from me?"

Song Dalang would not lie, it was precisely because he knew this that Wen Bao said so.

Song Dalang, who was questioned by Wen Bao, looked at Wen Bao nervously at this moment, afraid that she would continue to ask.

Song Dalang was ready to be questioned by his wife, but he didn't expect Wen Bao to stop asking.

"It's getting late, let's go back and wash and sleep."

Song Dalang was still wondering why his daughter-in-law stopped asking questions all of a sudden, but seeing his daughter-in-law's big belly, he immediately helped Wen Bao into the cave, and boiled water to wipe Wen Bao's body as usual.

Wen Bao seemed really not ready to continue asking, Song Dalang was silently relieved and at the same time wondered why Wen Bao didn't ask.

Why didn't Wen Bao ask?

In Wen Bao's mind, it's okay to be successful, Song Dalang came back from a trip to the town today, so Song Dalang's behavior must be because of the town's affairs.

Instead of asking Song Dalang that he might get a lie, it's better not to ask her to find out.

Besides, according to Wen Bao's understanding of Song Dalang, since Song Dalang didn't say anything, he definitely didn't want him to know.

Song Dalang didn't know what his daughter-in-law was thinking, and when he saw that his daughter-in-law didn't remember it the next day, he felt relieved.

The family was about to move, and Song Dalang was busy packing the furniture in the house down the mountain, and he also had to talk to the villagers about the move.

Fortunately, in the past six months, the people of Songjia Village have gotten used to the position of Song Dalang and his wife in Songjia Village. Let alone watching them make money now, when they heard that Song Dalang's family was moving, they all said they would come to help.

Song Dalang naturally hopes that his family can get along well with the people of Songjia Village, and through this matter, Song Dalang plans to have a good time.

Song Dalang left the house, but Wen Bao started to plan the banquet menu at home when he moved.

She is pregnant, so she must not be able to go to the kitchen, but it is possible to list the menu and ask a few women with good hands and feet to help.

It's hot in summer, and Wen Bao's menu doesn't have many hot dishes.

Eight cold dishes, four meat and four vegetables, two stir-fries, stewed meat and chicken soup, and a multigrain steamed bun are enough.

Wen Bao sorted out the menu and asked Song Dalang to ask someone to do it after he came home.

This person is also easy to find, so I asked Aunt Wei and Ma to find someone in the village. Song Dalang didn't know how much meat he could get in the mountains, but he needed preparations in advance.

Three days passed in a flash, and Song Dalang and Liquan successfully hunted a wild boar from the mountains yesterday.

With a wild boar, the meat dishes for the banquet will be available. I bought two wild pheasants from several households in the village and two from the trap at home, and added mountain mushrooms to stew chicken soup.

Pork head meat in cold sauce, pork liver in cold sauce, pig ears in cold sauce, and pork skin jelly in cold sauce, these are four meat dishes in cold sauce.

Shredded seaweed (kelp) in cold salad, green cucumber in cold salad, wild vegetables in cold salad, and squash in cold salad, these are four vegetable salads in cold salad.

There are two stir-fried dishes, one is stir-fried pig offal with wild pepper, and the other is stir-fried wild vegetables.

Two pots of braised pork are enough, and half a chicken is a bowl of chicken soup. There is not much chicken but there is a lot of soup.

Both Song Dalang and Wen Bao are sincere, and they made a lot of Zamian steamed buns, and they put them in the yard.

Today, the entire Songjia Village came to visit. The Wen family also set off from the town early in the morning and arrived at Songjia Village before noon.

"Mother Bao'er, how are you these days?"

Wen's family left early, and they hadn't had dinner yet in Songjia Village, but Wen Bao and Song Dalang had already moved down the mountain with the help of Songjia Villagers.

At the moment Wen Bao and Wu are sitting in Wen Bao and Song Dalang's room in the main room, and the sound of several nephews playing with a group of children from Songjia Village can be heard in the yard.

"I can't do it well. If the child is too old and I control my appetite now, I will be fatter."

Wen Bao was telling the truth, but the sisters-in-law couldn't help laughing when they heard her words.

Mrs. Wu heard the three daughters-in-law laughing at her daughter, and immediately drove the three daughters-in-law out.

"Your sister's house is moving today. She is inconvenient. You all go out to help her greet guests."

The guests that Mrs. Wu mentioned were all from Songjia Village, but when Mrs. Wu said this, the three daughters-in-law still walked out with winks.

Several sister-in-laws had gone out, so Wu took out a 50 tael silver ticket from her pocket and stuffed it to Wen Bao.

"The house is empty for you to buy property this time. Take this bank note and leave it to my granddaughter."

As soon as Wu made a move, it was 50 taels of silver, which was still her dowry money. She loved her daughter, so she naturally subsidized her.

It's just that Mrs. Wu didn't think there was anything wrong with giving money, but Wen Bao was embarrassed to follow up.

"Mother, the money will be distributed to the family soon."

Wen Bao didn't want to accept the banknote, but Mrs. Wu forced it to her, "Here, this is Mother's private room."

Wen Bao knew that her mother was rich, but the 50 taels of silver bill felt heavy in her hand.

The original owner was replaced by her for some reason. Although she had part of the memory of the original owner, she did not feel that she was born by the Wu family.

Now holding the bank note, Wen Bao's eyes turned red, and in the end it was Mrs. Wu who wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"Don't cry, your brothers and sisters-in-law have prepared gifts for you, and you have to thank them no matter what."

Wu shi talked to coax her daughter, and waited for Wen Bao to calm down before talking about other things.

Wen Bao sorted out his mood and listened to Wu's talking about other things, so he intentionally or unintentionally told about Song Dalang going to town a few days ago and coming back in a bad mood.

After Wen Bao finished speaking, he saw Wu Shi sighing slightly.

"This is because my mother didn't do it well. Didn't your cousin come to live with you for a few days? As soon as you went back, your aunt was so distressed that someone told you not to let your cousin come. She said that no matter how fat her son is, he can Find a wife."

Wu didn't hide it from Wen Bao either, she felt that her Bao'er would know about it sooner or later, so it's better to tell her as soon as possible.

Wen Bao thought it was something at first, but now he understood after hearing Wu Shi's words.

It turned out that her aunt felt sorry for her son.

"I saw that your cousin lost weight, but he became more energetic. Who knew that your aunt..."

"Mother, mother, my cousin is here."

Before Mrs. Wu finished speaking, Wen Chengyong's voice was heard outside the room. Both Mrs. Wu and Wen Bao were startled when they heard the voice outside the room, but they didn't expect Wu Houye to come.

Mrs. Wu supported Wen Bao out of the main room, and immediately saw Wu Houye standing beside Wen Chengyong in the yard.

"Cousin, hey, I'm back."

Wu Houye saw Wen Bao smiling happily. Although he ate some meat this time, he took the medicine his cousin asked him to take every day. Now that he came back, he had naturally changed into a smaller set of clothes. But people still look fat.

Neither the Wu family nor the rest of the Wen family thought that Wu Houye would come back, and even Song Dalang couldn't help but come over to have a look when he heard the news of Wu Houye's return.

Wen Bao looked at Wu Houye who was smiling at him and nodded, and then said to Song Dalang who came over: "It's getting late, Dalang, let's arrange the guests to sit down."

It is inconvenient for Wen Bao to be pregnant, and Song Dalang has no real brothers. Fortunately, the Wen family has many sons, except for the fourth child who is away, everyone else is here today.

The three sons of the Wen family accompanied Song Dalang to greet the villagers of Songjia Village, and their respective sons also greeted the children of Songjia Village one after another. The three sisters-in-law of Wen Bao also helped Wen Bao greet the other women of Songjia Village.

Wen Bao's banquet dishes are good, not only big portions, but also a lot of meat.

Today, everyone from Songjia Village came to eat, and Wen Bao and Wu's mother and daughter just ate and rested.

Wen Bao is in a special situation now, and no one will say anything about her.

Originally, the Wen family wanted to visit his sister's house, but Song Dalang's house was only a cave, so how could it accommodate so many people.

Now that we have a new house and it's summer again, we don't need so many bedding at all, so Wen's family stayed after lunch.

Wen Bao's three sister-in-laws took out the presents they had prepared for Wen Bao after they sent off the other guests in Songjia Village after dinner.

"Thank you brothers and sisters-in-law."

The brothers and sisters-in-law all prepared things for Wen Bao, and the eldest brother and his wife prepared some books, pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

Wen Chengyong and his wife prepared some necessities for daily life in the grocery store, and Wen Chen also brought two jars of wine from her mother's house.

Wen Chengshuang and his wife gave Song Dalang a dagger, which made Song Dalang smile happily.

Even the few nephews in the family also gave gifts, although they were only a few pennies or a few tens of pennies, but they were all from their hearts.

After the Wen family finished delivering the gifts, Wu Houye took out a few bank notes to Wen Bao.

"Cousin, all the gifts I prepared for you have been handed over to my cousin-in-law. When do you think you are free, can I discuss something with you?"
