The Little Dumb Wife of the Mountain People

Chapter 89
Wen Bao walked home with Meihua, and on the way he heard Meihua say that the people who went to the county this time not only came back, but also brought the latest news.

"I heard a sentence, the previous things probably have a follow-up."

Mei Hua didn't say what she heard, but she still reminded Wen Bao what was going on.

Wen Bao also knew in her heart that Mei Hua must have heard a lot, but she also knew that Mei Hua didn't like to gossip behind her back, so she didn't ask.

Passing by his own yard, he continued to walk back. After a while, Wen Bao and Mei Hua came to Wen's house.

The Wen family's house was built big, and Wen Bao led Mei Hua into the gate, and when he stepped into the courtyard, he saw all the family members sitting there.

The first thing Wen Bao paid attention to was the faces of the whole family. After scanning around, she turned to Song Dalang. Song Dalang's face was normal, and Wen Bao didn't see anything.

"Come and sit down."

Wu shi waved at Wen Bao, Wen Bao walked over and looked at Tuantuan being hugged by Wu shi, bent down and kissed her little face before hugging her into his arms.

After Wen Bao and Mei Hua sat down, Wen Youcai took a sip of tea from the teacup in hand.

"Bao'er, the people who went to the county are back. This matter is indeed related to the officials above. Master Liu has already written to his teacher and family for help."

Mr. Liu had suffered an unreasonable disaster. He went to Nanning County to be the county magistrate. Although there was a reason for the operation of the Liu family, the Liu family did not expect that such a thing would happen in Nanning County, which is close to the south of the Yangtze River.

What's more, this matter happened last year, and now the investigation just took everything to the surface.

After listening to what Wen Youcai said, Wen Bao still didn't understand what he said. It was because of the support from above that he was able to be so bold.

"Although the land in the south of the Yangtze River is rich and prosperous, it has already been controlled by aristocratic families, and the north is suffering. Our Jiangbei, which is just across the river from the south of the Yangtze River, has been targeted by them just like that."

What Wen Youcai said was the truth, but it was the truth that hurt people the most, especially Wen Chengquan, who was already engaged to the daughter of the Liu family and was going to marry next spring. Now that Mrs. Liu had an accident, it was really true to him Not a good thing.

Wen Bao raised his head and glanced at Wen Chengquan, seeing his frown slightly, he knew that he must be worried.

"Fourth brother, don't worry, the Liu family is a big family after all."

Wen Bao's words drew everyone's attention to Wen Chengquan, and Wen Youcai looked at his son and sighed softly, "Now that we know about this, Master Liu came back with a letter saying don't worry, but after all we have already communicated with him. family engagement.

Let your mother and younger sister pack up some things later. Tomorrow, you will bring a few people to visit the county and see why your third elder brother and third sister-in-law haven't come back. It's going to snow in Songjia Village. "

Wen Youcai didn't lie to Wen Chengquan when he said that it was going to snow in Songjia Village, it was just that it was supposed to snow in Songjia Village at this time of year.

Wen Chengquan knew it in his heart, and after hearing Wen Youcai's words, he nodded and said: "Father, I understand."

Wen Bao wanted to take Tuan Tuan with her today. The mother and daughter hadn't been close for a long time, so when she returned home from Wen's house, she carried Tuan Tuan back home.

Song Dalang and Meihua brothers and sisters walked beside Wen Bao, one on the left and one on the right, with a pot of goat milk in one hand and a stack of diapers in the other.

"It's really cold this year, and I don't know when it will snow."

After hearing Wen Youcai's words just now, Wen Bao began to think about it. It snowed in Songjia Village at this time last year, but it hasn't snowed yet this year.

After hearing Wen Bao's words, Song Dalang looked up at the sky, "Hurry up!"

Song Dalang also couldn't say when it would snow this year, until the school was built in Songjia Village, Wen Chengquan went to the county to stay for a few days, and after successfully bringing back Wen Chengshuang and his wife and some winter supplies, there was still no snow in Songjia Village.

"It's not a normal day this year."

Although Wen Youcai had never planted land, after all, he had lived for so many years and was born and raised in Yutai Town. In previous years, it was snowing in the town at this time, let alone Songjia Village.

But this day, it was very cold, but it didn't snow. Although the school had a three-day vacation, neither the children nor the adults came back.

"Father, elder brother said that it's going to be cold this year, and the academy will probably be on vacation a few days earlier, so I won't be back for this month's vacation."

Wen Chengquan brought back the news that not only the children of the Wen family, but also the children of the Song family village who were studying in the academy had not returned.

As soon as he came back, Wen Chengquan naturally sent the news to several families in the village, and talked with the heads of those families for a while, and they all decided to let their children stay in the village to study next year.

Wen Youcai nodded after listening to Wen Chengquan's words, "Then did your elder brother say when is the holiday this year?"

"It is said that there will be a holiday at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. When the time comes, I will come here after dealing with the affairs of the academy and the town. I estimate that I will be back around the tenth day of the lunar new year."

"Then you and your third brother will go to town a few more times in the past two days to buy more meat and vegetables, as well as rice and charcoal. Didn't your sister say that she wanted to make sausage and bacon? Go and ask her, do you want to spend more time together?" Buy some."

As soon as Wen Youcai heard what Wen Chengquan said, he counted the days in his mind. The holidays will be at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, and school will start around the [-]th of the first month of the year. This group of half-children will stay at home for more than a month, so they need to prepare for everything some.

As soon as Wen Chengquan heard Wen Youcai's words, he understood what his father meant. He also grew up as a half-child, so he naturally knew how much he ate when he was a half-child.

After hearing Wen Youcai's words, Wen Chengquan first went to find the third brother and third sister-in-law who are now in charge of the house, and asked about the weight of various things in the house. After conveying his father's intentions, he asked them to count first, and he was going to visit My sister's house in front.

Song Dalang and Wen Bao were also taken aback when they heard Wen Chengquan's words. Last winter Song Dalang hunted meat, but this year Song Dalang hunted for meat at home. Now there is indeed not much meat at home.

"Fourth uncle, you came just in time. I'm planning to go to the mountains these two days to hunt some meat and come back for the winter, but..."

When Song Dalang said this, he looked at Wen Bao beside him. In previous years, he would go to the mountains at this time to spend the winter, and he would hunt the meat back and freeze it for the New Year.

But this year, Wen Bao felt that the mountain was not safe, so he didn't allow Song Dalang to enter the mountain. Instead, he asked Song Dalang to buy a pig from the town with money.

When Wen Chengquan looked at his brother-in-law's eyes, he still didn't understand, only this matter, in fact, he was also moved.

"I don't know when the guards of the Wu family will leave. They brought rice and food, but they almost ate them all. It's too expensive to buy meat for the family. How about I go back and discuss with my parents to see if I can find more. People go to the mountains."

Song Dalang's eyes lit up when he heard Wen Chengquan's words, he knew that his family had no shortage of money to buy meat, but he was a mountain man after all, so he couldn't forget his craft.

Wen Bao looked at Song Dalang's bright eyes, and didn't understand anything, so he could only pretend that he didn't see Song Dalang's look, and continued to look at the account book in his hand.

Wen Chengquan just came to Song Dalang's house, but he went back after drinking a cup of hot tea. He told his third brother and father about this matter, and they immediately agreed to Song Dalang's proposal.

"That's a good idea. You go for a walk in the mountains first and bring more people. If you don't have enough time, Dad will give you money to buy in the town."

Wen Youcai thought that the wild goat he had eaten before was really tasty, and there were other wild game that were really tasty.

Wen Chengquan's eyes lit up when he heard his father's words, he wondered if he could go with him, and then some meat would be sent to the Liu family, the last time I went to see the daughter of the Liu family, there was still a little worry on her brows.

"In this case, Liquan and I will lead the first guard team, and my brother-in-law will lead the fourth brother and the first guard team. Let's work hard, go deeper, and hunt meat for the winter."

Wen Chengquan didn't expect that the third brother agreed to take him with him before he even spoke. He happily watched Wen Chengshuang smirking all the time, and Wen Youcai and Wu Shi both smiled and shook their heads.

After Wen Bao learned that his parents agreed, although he was still worried, he finally agreed to let Song Dalang and the others go into the mountain. This time, the two teams had 12 people each.

When they went together, they naturally wanted to patrol the deep mountains. If there were no problems, these guards wanted to go back to Wu's house in the county.

Of the fifty guards, more than half of them have homes and homes. The New Year is coming soon, and they also want to go home to celebrate the New Year.

Song Dalang and the others were going into the deep mountains, hunting and patrolling. Although everyone in the Song family village knew about it, no one came out to stop them. The guards from the Wu family have been protecting them in the village these days. Now that they want to hunt some meat before going home, they naturally don’t want to will say anything.

A group of people packed up their things, 50 guards chose for a long time, and finally 20 people were selected. Although the remaining 30 people were not happy, but the 20 people agreed to return the 20 people's average score of their 50 people, and everyone was happy .

When Song Dalang was not at home, Wen Bao took Tuantuan home with him. Zhang Lian's pregnancy had stabilized, so she didn't have to go to the workshop.

"Sister-in-law, I made new clothes for you, elder brother and Tuantuan."

Meihua has been busy for so many days since she came back, and she finally made three new sets of clothes. The fabrics were all bought from her own private house, and Wen Bao didn't know until today.

"How can you tell me how good you are? After working for so many days, you haven't made a piece of clothing for yourself."

Wen Bao asked Song Dalang to buy cloth for Meihua to make clothes, but Meihua made new clothes for their family first.

Mei Hua laughed when she heard Wen Bao's words, "There are still some days before the Chinese New Year. I can make it for myself. The house is so warm every day, and my hands don't get cold. I can do it quickly."

Even though Mei Hua said so, Wen Bao still blamed her for working too hard. When Mei Hua brought out a pair of shoes made for Wen Youcai and Wu Shi, Wen Bao felt distressed for a while.

The new clothes that Plum Blossom made for Wen Bao and Song Dalang also had shoes. Wen Bao’s new skirt was begonia-colored, and the shoes were pink and purple satin uppers. Song Dalang’s cotton robe was indigo blue, and the shoes were navy blue satin uppers.

Tuantuan's new cotton-padded jacket and trousers are begonia-colored on the upper body and indigo-blue trousers. Although they are made of leftover fabric from his parents' clothes, there are many flowers embroidered by plum blossoms on Tuantuan's clothes, which are very beautiful.

"Don't work so hard."

There are flowers on the new clothes and new shoes, Wen Bao's clothes are of course crabapple flowers, and Song Dalang's padded robes are embroidered with blessing patterns, it looks like a lot of work has been done.

Meihua just laughed when she heard Wen Bao's words, and didn't respond to her. She was thinking about waiting for her jacket and skirt to be finished. She still had a piece of blue cotton cloth, which could be used to make a new set of spring clothes for Tuantuan.

Wen Bao didn't know what was going on in Mei Hua's mind, what she was worried about now was Song Dalang and the others who had entered the deep mountains, and she didn't know if they would go well this time.
