The Little Dumb Wife of the Mountain People

Chapter 99
Chunyu still did not come to Songjia Village together when spring came as in previous years.

There are a lot less wild vegetables on the mountain in Songjia Village this year. In previous years, there will be a lot of mountain mushrooms after a rain. It takes a long way to find a small group of mountain mushrooms.

Although Song Dalang's family has a well, Song Dalang and Xue Da insist on carrying water from the spring on the mountain in rotation every day.

While waiting for the spring rain, Liquan and Zhang Lian's first son was born. On the day of his birth, it finally rained for two hours in Songjia Village, only the ground was wet, but Liquan's son was still taken by everyone. From a nickname called 'water drop'.

Liquan's family likes the name Shuidi very much. Although it is not masculine enough, it just gives Songjiacun hope.

The light rain for two hours didn't have much effect at all, but when it started to rain that day, all the people in Songjia Village took out all the pots and pans at home to collect water.

Wen Bao's family also received water, but they did not collect water for food, but reserved it for watering the vegetable fields when it was not raining.

When Wen Bao first bought the land, he still had the land at the foot of the mountain. Last year, he planted grapes in a piece of land. This year, the vintage was not good, so Wen Bao asked Xue Da to open other lands to grow soybeans, leaving only two parts of the land to grow vegetables.

The winery in Songjia Village has been built, but this year is not good. The Chen family did not wantonly make wine in the winery in Songjia Village, because the vintage is not good and the food is expensive.

The Wu family's foundation in Songjia Village has also started to build a house. The Wu family has a simple population and doesn't need to be as big as Wen's house, but their house is still bigger than Wen Bao's house.

The school of Wen Chengquan and his wife started up with great fanfare, and the girls in the village can also attend classes, but the girls only have classes in the afternoon, and they have to work at home in the morning.

The classes for girls are also different from those for boys. Although they also learn to read and count, they also need to learn cooking and embroidery.

Wen Bao served as the cooking teacher for the girls, and Wen Bao, who had something to do every day, gradually felt less sad.

Jing Yan was also put into the school by Wen Bao and became the youngest student in the school, but she did not embarrass Wen Bao, she was very well-behaved and sensible, and she learned things quickly.

When the Ching Ming Festival was approaching, there were a few light rains in Songjia Village. Although it could not completely solve the drought problem, it was better than no rain at all.

The school was on vacation today, Wen Chengquan took Wen Liu's family to the county to collect rent early in the morning, Wen Chengshuang and Song Dalang also went with them, and when they arrived in town, they had lunch before calling Wen Chengzhi and Wen Chengyong to go together Go to the county.

Today they have to go to the county to buy a shop. This year is not good, and some small shops run by outsiders can no longer survive, and they want to sell them out.

Wen Liushi had previously written a letter asking Wen Chengshuang to bring it to Master Liu when he went to the county. Now, as soon as Master Liu received the news, he immediately sent someone to deliver the letter to Wen Chengshuang.

Wen Chengshuang rushed to Songjia Village after receiving the news yesterday, and now he has just returned from the county, and today he took the other brothers in the family to the county.

Before Song Dalang left the house, Wen Bao told him that he didn't need to buy much, and their family didn't need to be too special, just average.

Liquan also gave Song Dalang 200 taels of silver notes, and asked Song Dalang to help him buy a shop. This was Wen Bao's suggestion to Zhang Lian, after all, eggs should not be put in the same basket.

"Master Xue, I brought Tuantuan, Jingyan and Meihua to Li's family."

Wen Bao stood at the door of the main room with his arms in his arms and shouted towards the kitchen. Everyone Xue, who was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, responded immediately: "I understand Ma'am, then remember to come back for dinner in a quarter of an hour."

"Ok."

The seven-month-old Tuan Tuan has already started to be dishonest, the weather is getting hotter, and Tuantuan wears less clothes, so being held by Wen Bao is dishonest, twisting and turning in her arms.

"Don't move, Mother will take you to Aunt Lian's house to see my younger brother."

Zhang Lian is not yet confinement, Wen Bao is hugging Tuantuan, but what Mei Hua is holding is the brown sugar that Wen Chengshuang just bought for them from the county yesterday, and Zhang Lian also has a share.

Mrs. Wen Xu didn't come back, so Wen Bao sent the brown sugar.

Wen Bao's house was close to Liquan's house, and when he walked out of the house, he turned a corner and walked dozens of steps and saw Liquan's house.

When Aunt Ma saw Wen Bao and the others coming, she immediately went into the house to fetch water, but Wen Bao stopped her.

"Aunt Ma, don't be busy. No, my third brother came back yesterday. This is the brown sugar my third sister-in-law bought for us. Each woman in the family has a share. This is Zhang Lian's."

Brown sugar is only two catties, but the price is not low.

Meihua sent a portion of two catties of brown sugar, and another portion was snacks from the county.

Aunt Ma looked at what Meihua sent and raised her hand unwilling to take it, "How can I want more of your things, you gave me two catties of brown sugar just after Zhang Lian was born, and you haven't finished drinking it yet."

Brown sugar is expensive, but Wen's daughter-in-law and Wen Bao both manage enough. Hearing Aunt Ma's words, Wen Bao immediately laughed.

"It's okay, it's all from my family, not to mention that Zhang Lian called my mother an aunt, and eat more brown sugar from my mother's family, which is also appropriate."

As soon as Zhang Lian gave birth to the water droplet, Mrs. Wen and Chen came to give the confinement gift, and Mrs. Wu also gave one. Because of the proximity, Mrs. Wu would come to Li's family for an hour every day in the first few days.

Zhang Lian has no natal family, but no matter whether it is the Wen Chen family or the Wu family, they are unwilling to wrong Zhang Lian.

Although they all know that Aunt Ma loves Zhang Lian, the customs here are like this. Zhang Lian gave birth to a child, and if there is no confinement gift from her natal family, it will not look good after all.

Wen Bao insisted on giving the brown sugar and snacks to Aunt Ma, and Zhang Lian ate the brown sugar, and the snacks were for Aunt Ma.

When Wen Bao and the others entered the room, Zhang Lian had already heard the movement and started working.

The water drop has been raised for more than [-] days, and it is much whiter than when it was just born.

"Come on, come and sit down."

Zhang Lian was raised well during confinement, even if the weather is bad this year, Liquan still goes to the mountains every day, thinking of hunting wild pheasants for Zhang Lian to replenish her health.

Wen Chengshuang went to and from the county and Songjia Village, and every time he came back, he had to bring something. The previous two times he brought pig's trotters and crucian carp, but this time he came back in a hurry, so he brought brown sugar.

"Auntie, look at our little water droplet."

As soon as Wen Bao put Tuantuan on the bed, Tuantuan sat up. Seeing Wen Bao put her down to hold the water drop, Tuantuan was taken aback for a moment, and then burst into tears.

slap
Tuantuan, who couldn't crawl yet, fell on the bed like a tortoise. Both Meihua and Zhang Lian rushed to help her, but she kept looking at Wen Bao.

"Tuantuan is delicious, sister-in-law."

"The bigger the little girl, the smarter she is. Mom hugs younger brother, and I'll hug you later."

Tuantuan heard Wen Bao's words, and cried so much that she hiccupped because of her aggrieved appearance, which broke Mei Hua's heart.

Plum Blossom embraced Tuantuan and patted Tuantuan vigorously, not forgetting to comfort Tuantuan and said: "Tuantuan will not cry, aunt will hug you, and your mother will hug you later."

Once Tuantuan was comforted by Meihua, Wen Bao hugged the water drop and made out for a while, then put the water drop beside Zhang Lian, turned around and hugged Jingyan in his arms again.

This hug completely made Tuantuan howl.

The seven-month-old Tuantuan couldn't speak yet, but she kept trying to get close to Wen Bao.

Wen Bao also knew that it was almost done, if she didn't move, she would probably make Tuan Tuan anxious.

When Tuantuan was finally held in Wen Bao's arms, Wen Bao seemed to hear Tuantuan sigh. Wen Bao looked down at Tuantuan who was crying and belching, and patted her with a smile.

"Mother's Tuantuan tastes good, but Tuantuan can't be like this, Tuantuan must be generous, and can't cry just because Mother hugged her elder sister or younger brother. If Tuantuan cries again in the future, Mother will be very sad."

Even though he knew that Tuantuan couldn't understand, Wen Bao still wanted to speak.

It was only a few days ago that she was hugging Jing Yan when she was seen by Tuan Tuan, and Tuan Tuan burst into tears, and she realized that Tuantuan was like this.

Zhang Lian and Meihua wanted to laugh because of Wen Bao's actions. They both felt that it was normal for Tuantuan to be so small and like to dominate their mother, so there was nothing to worry about.

Wen Bao didn't explain either, feeling that Tuantuan in his arms was going to sleep, Wen Bao bid farewell to Zhang Lian.

When they came out of the house, Aunt Ma stopped them and asked them to stay for dinner, but Wen Bao refused with a smile, saying that she would definitely come to eat after a few days.

Song Dalang and the others couldn't come back today, but tomorrow they will come back with the children studying in the academy.

Spring is here, and there are wild vegetables in the mountains. Meihua went out early in the morning to pick up a basket of shepherd's purse and came back. Wen Bao likes to eat wontons and dumplings, and everyone Xue made Wen Bao's favorite dumplings today.

Wen Bao was very satisfied with the shepherd's purse and fresh meat dumplings. Of course, Wen Bao didn't forget Wen Youcai and Wu Shi.

It's just that when the old couple came to their daughter's house and saw their granddaughter hiccupping while asleep, they were unhappy.

Where did Meihua dare to speak out about her sister-in-law's behavior, but Jingyan, who was coaxed by Mrs. Wu with two candies, accidentally slipped her mouth.

Everyone Xue looked at Wen Bao with a look of guilt, but Wen Bao was not angry because of Jing Yan's slip of the tongue.After all, she did it on purpose today.

"How old are you, how big is Tuantuan! No, I want to take Tuantuan back to raise him!"

Mrs. Wu was very angry, and after Wen Bao explained in detail why she did this, she immediately wanted to take Tuantuan home to raise her.

Wen Bao looked at her mother, and really didn't know how to persuade her.

"Mother, I'm doing this for the good of Tuan Tuan, otherwise, when you wake up, she must still be clinging to me."

Mrs. Wu believed Wen Bao's words. Now that Wen Bao was going to teach the children, either Mei Hua was holding Tuan Tuan beside him, or Tuan Tuan was sleeping.

Sometimes when Tuantuan sees Wen Bao touching the heads of the children in the school, Tuantuan will yell "Wow-wah-wah".

Wen Youcai understood his daughter's thoughts. Although he also loved his granddaughter, he also knew that what her daughter did was right.

but……

"Bao'er, Tuantuan is still young, you can teach her slowly, and it will be fine when she is older."

Wen Bao naturally understood what his father meant, and nodded with a smile, promising that he would teach slowly and not in a hurry.

Tuantuan woke up not long after eating, and started to look for Wen Bao when he opened his eyes in a daze, turned around when he opened his big eyes, and stretched out his hand to Wen Bao when he saw Wen Bao, asking her to hug him.

Seeing that her granddaughter only wanted a daughter, Wu snorted angrily and left without looking back.

Wen Youcai looked at the old wife's back with a smile and shook his head, and slowly chased after her.

"Tuantuan, because of you, your grandma is now angry with your mother!"

Wen Bao said a word, but Tuantuan could only understand that Wen Bao called her, seeing Wen Bao talking to her, Tuantuan laughed immediately.
