LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 12 What used to be used as a rag
Song Tingran walked over. In this livestock shed, there were chickens and ducks that she bought in the afternoon. They were jumping around inside. They were very cute. The location was against the yard, which could prevent theft by intentional people and make feeding convenient.
"I mean you are so capable. The weather is hot now. If you are tired, just take a rest. If you get heat stroke again, it will be uncomfortable."
Xiao Yuchen showed a strange expression. His previous wife always disliked him for eating too much and working too little, but now it was the other way around. He nodded blankly.
"By the way, do you know where I can buy oxen, the kind that plow the fields?"
Xiao Yuchen's eyes lit up. If he had a scalper, he would be able to work faster. He cast an expectant look at Shi Yan.
Shi Yan is the big man in the family, so the following six people almost always listen to him first.
"Master Wife, in our village, only the wife of the Zhao family pulls carts with oxen, and the village chief's family has some, but they are all adults, and there are no half-grown calves to sell..."
Song Tingran understands that cattle are very important in this era. With them, farming can be much easier, and it is also difficult to buy a suitable calf.
“Then our village doesn’t have it, can I buy it elsewhere?”
"Wen Li's neighbor, the bull should have given birth. I heard Wen Ci mentioned it before, but I don't know if it was sold."
Shi Yan told the truth, but he also had his own thoughts. Nowadays, life is getting better and better, but there are still three brothers who have not come back. It must be difficult for them to live under the shelter of their parents' family.
Song Tingran thought for a while and said, "In this case, I will take Wen Li back to my parents' house tomorrow to buy cattle and bring Wen Ci back."
Wen Li was very excited, but his body couldn't help trembling. His appearance was ruined. He was not very popular at home. His brother Wen Ci had his face touched in the street. This incident was always disgraceful. This time when he went back, at home, People will definitely make things difficult in every possible way.
"Wife, Master Wife, are you willing to accompany me back to my parents' home, and are you willing to bring my brother back?"
"Well, I know it was unpleasant before. You don't have to be afraid when I go back this time."
Wen Li was so excited that he almost cried. His wife accompanied him back to his parents' home. This was a great gift. Sang Cheng beside him patted his shoulder with envy.
"Then we'll set off early tomorrow morning. After we leave, Xiao Yuchen doesn't need to rush to work. It won't be too late to plow the fields after I buy back the oxen. Then you and Sang Cheng can help Shi Yan and be busy in school. Learn the words and understand the things that are happening."
Xiao Yuchen and Sang Cheng were both nervous when they heard about the Chinese characters. They couldn't read a single Chinese character.
Shi Yan was very happy. He had always wanted to teach his brothers how to read. However, conditions did not allow it before. Now his wife has spoken, and he quickly said: "Don't worry, wife, I will definitely teach him well."
After everything was explained, Song Tingran really went back to rest this time. She took some money from Shi Yan and told him not to be reluctant, and to buy at any time if there was a shortage at home, so that she could worry less and let him I will send you new clothes when I have time.
Shi Yan expressed his understanding. At the door of his wife's house, he watched helplessly as she closed the door and put out the candles without any nostalgia.
"It seems that we really don't have to stay in bed recently. My wife bought clothes and fabrics for each of us. Let's go and take a look."
Sang Cheng couldn't wait. Over there, Song Tingran was sleeping soundly. Because of his obesity, he was snoring loudly. Here, four husbands gathered around, touching unreal new clothes and shoes. Can't put it down.
"Wen Li, when you go back to your parents' home tomorrow, you might as well wear something new and gain face."
Sang Cheng's parents died long ago. He was envious but not jealous. He gestured at Wen Li with his new clothes.
Others also meant the same thing, but Wen Li touched his face and said, "Forget it. It's a waste for me to wear it. I'll save it for you to wear. I don't like to go out on weekdays anyway."
"Wen Li, don't belittle yourself. You have to live a good life. Now that the wife has gotten better, even if she doesn't have feelings, she still has a place to stay. If you dress nicer, it will also make the wife look good."
Shi Yan tried to persuade her, but she didn't want Wen Li to feel too inferior to her, and it was a good thing to go back to her parents' home tomorrow.
Wen Li wiped his red eyes and thanked everyone for their help and taking care of him.
That night, everyone fell asleep with their own thoughts.
The next day, Song Tingran was thinking about buying a cow and got up early listening to the noise outside.
When I opened the door, I heard the chirping of the chickens and ducks. There was already a scent in the kitchen. Looking from a distance, Xiao Yuchen was weeding in the field again.
"Master Wife, you woke up really early today."
Sang Cheng was still wearing shabby clothes and straw sandals, his hands were muddy, and he was picking up the vegetable seeds he bought yesterday.
"You got up early in the morning to plant?"
"Well, my second brother cleared a field yesterday, and there happened to be seeds. After planting them, we can eat the vegetables we grow at home."
Song Tingran thought it made sense, so she hummed and said, "Go and call everyone back for breakfast. I also have something to say."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sang Cheng ran out. Looking at his thin body, he was afraid that he would fall and die.
Soon, Xiao Yuchen, Sang Cheng, and Shi Yan all came back from the fields, and Wen Li's breakfast was almost ready and was served on the table.
What Wen Li made today was scallion pancakes after Song Tingran's instructions, paired with polished rice porridge, plus yesterday's leftover cucumbers, mixed with a cold dish, which looked appetizing.
Song Tingran did not sit down to eat immediately, but looked at the four of them. Sure enough, except for herself, who had put on new clothes and new shoes, she didn't wear new ones.
Shi Yan was horrified by the sight, feeling that his wife's aura was not quite right today. However, today's wife did not wear bright red or green clothes. Instead, she had an elegant and unique charm. Her clean face was white and tender, as if she was celebrating the New Year. lucky doll.
"I'll give each of you five minutes, uh... half a cup of tea, to replace your whole body with new ones. Also, Wen Li, pack up an extra set and bring it to your brother."
The four of them had no choice but to return to the room. Because the linen had not yet been made, they could only wear cotton clothes and new coarse cloth shoes and walked out.
Song Tingran suddenly felt a sense of joy in his heart. Sure enough, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. If he wears these clothes well, he will be more energetic.
"This looks so beautiful. By the way, which one of you knows how to make clothes?"
Shi Yan, Sang Cheng, and Wen Li all raised their hands. Xiao Yuchen looked around, slightly embarrassed, and lowered his eyes.
"That's enough. I have linen at home. You guys are sewing clothes. Just change it with the one you are wearing. The old one... can be used as a rag."
