After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather became hotter and hotter, and the family had dinner and sat in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness.

Liu Bicao took Shen Mei and Shen He, two sisters, to sit in the courtyard and embroider flowers. Although Shen Heren is small, he can sit still, and his hands are skillful and more beautiful than his sister Shen Mei's.

Luozi sells for one or two pennies in the embroidery house in the town, Liu Bicao has a lot of ingenious ideas, and there are many patterns of Luozi, and one can sell for two or three pennies. Now Shen He can sell it for two cents a piece with Liu Bicao's network, but because of the small number of people, he can't fight many times in a month.

"In two days, you can take these yarns to the town and sell them, Xiaohe is very capable, there are a total of six yarns." When Shen Jinqian came out of the bath, he saw his daughter-in-law sitting in the yard, her head down and embroidering flowers, while talking softly to her two younger sisters.

I haven't seen her for a few days.,It seems that it's not very solid to sleep every night.,I don't know when I've gotten used to having her around.。

Shen Jinqian pursed her lips, she was not satisfied with this marriage at the beginning, not only the dowry was high, but the person she liked in her heart was not her.

Liu Bicao turned around and saw Shen Jinqian who was stunned, with some affection in his eyes. Liu Bicao knew that Su Jinqian had someone in her heart, but that person was not her, because Shen Jinqian had never looked at herself with that kind of look.

"Hiss" was not careful, and the needle pierced the index finger, and immediately bled out.

"Sister-in-law, your hand is bleeding." Shen Mei exclaimed when she saw Liu Bicao.

"Why are you so careless, you can hurt if you embroider a flower." Su Jinqian heard Shen Mei's exclamation, and immediately walked over and took her hand to look.

Seeing Shen Jinqian frowning, Liu Bicao seemed to dislike herself, and she was also aggrieved in her heart, so she retracted her hand and held back her tears: "I'm just so careless, so clumsy." With that, he got up and went back to his room.

Shen He and Shen Mei blinked: "Big brother, what's wrong with sister-in-law?" Shen Jinqian didn't know what was going on, this was the first time she had seen her like this, "It's okay, go back to your room and rest." Shen Jinqian touched the heads of his two younger sisters.

When Shen Mei took her sister back to the room, Shen Jinqian sat in the courtyard for a while before returning to her room. Liu Bicao had already rested, and I didn't know if she was really asleep or fake.

took off his coat and lay on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, Shen Jinqian looked at Liu Bicao with his back to him and sighed slightly, moved his body gently, and finally didn't hold back to follow the thoughts in his heart, and held Liu Bicao in his arms from behind.

"What's wrong with you?" The body holding it was a little stiff, and I knew that it was pretending to be asleep.

Liu Bicao didn't know why she suddenly felt aggrieved, maybe it was because of the occasional reluctance in Shen Jinqian's eyes or because she cared too much about the fact that Shen Jinqian had someone in her heart?

"Not really." Liu Bicao wanted to leave Su Jinqian's embrace, but when she moved, she found that it was useless, so she stopped struggling, and lay down honestly.

Shen Jinqian lowered his head and accurately found Bicao's lips, turned over and pressed Liu Bicao under him, and his hands were not idle. Bicao wanted to resist, but found that she had no power to resist, so she went with him......

When Shen's mother got up in the morning, the house was quiet, and her daughter-in-law, who was usually the first to get up, was nowhere to be seen. Mother Shen looked at the closed door of her eldest son and daughter-in-law, pursed her lips and smiled.

When Liu Bicao woke up, Shen Jinqian was still lying next to her: "Awake? ”

Shen Jinqian had already woken up, but he didn't move when he saw that the person sleeping in the crook of his arm was still asleep, and he didn't move for fear of waking her up.

Liu Bicao remembered what happened last night, turned over to the corner, and the people behind her immediately covered her and hugged her tightly from behind.

"Let go of me, I'm going to get up." Liu Bicao didn't need to look at the sky to know that it was not early, and the voices of Shen He and Shen Jinyan whispering outside had been intermittently transmitted into the room. Liu Bicao was so ashamed that she almost dug a hole and got into the ground, and now the whole family knew that she was lying in bed.

Shen Jinqian knew that she was thin-skinned, so he let go as she said, sat up and dressed herself.

"Sister-in-law, the morning food is in the stove room." As soon as the two went out, Shen He saw it.

Under Shen's mother's teasing eyes, Liu Bicao lowered her head and went to the stove room with a red face. Shen Jinqian didn't see Shen's mother's eyes and followed behind her, but her ears were quietly red.

The rice in the field turned from green to golden, and the ears of rice pressed the rice stalks low, and the sad faces of the people of the summer finally showed a smiling face.

"In a few days, it will be the day of the two guns, and the soybeans and corn in the field should be harvested, and the wheat should also be planted, and from tomorrow onwards, three meals a day will be cooked." Shen's father sat in the courtyard weaving baskets for harvesting grain in a few days.

When the harvest comes, the harvesters eat three meals a day. After all, before the autumn rains, all the grain in the fields was recovered, and the wheat had to be planted, and it was hard work.

Seeing the autumn harvest, the life at home does not have to be as tense as before, and with Shen's father's decision, Liu Bicao nodded and said yes.

"Sister-in-law, there is a seller of bean juice, I want to drink bean juice." In the blink of an eye, it was the time of the autumn harvest and double robbery, and the family was busy in the field from morning to night, and the two little guys, Jin Yan and Shen He, were also following the adults in the field to pick up ears.

There are many Shen families, and Shen's father plans to harvest soybeans and corn after two guns first, and finally plant wheat.

"If you want to drink it and buy it yourself, what do you want your sister-in-law to do?" Su Jinxin was cutting rice, and said without raising her head, "Didn't my sister-in-law give you money?" ”

Now that the family is slowly making some money, Liu Bicao will give Shen He and Shen Jinyan a penny or two every once in a while, and sometimes the merchant will come to the village to buy some snacks.

Shen Jinyan listened to Shen Jinxin's words, and lowered his head a little embarrassedly: "I used it, I bought silk flowers for my sister-in-law." ”

Liu Bicao smiled and touched four cents to him: "Let the eldest sister take you and the younger sister to buy, one person drinks a bowl, and the plum buys bean juice and cooks at home, don't come out." The sun is getting bigger and bigger, and Liu Bicao is also a little distressed when she looks at Shen Mei's blushing face, "By the way, make some soup at home to relieve the heat, and the herbs are in the backyard." "The simple recognition of herbs has been taught.

Shen Mei nodded, went up to the ridge, and took her younger brothers and sisters to buy bean juice. When the girls from other families saw it, there was nothing they didn't envy. Is there a sister-in-law who can let the sister-in-law go home to cook and work in the fields by herself.

"Dad, it's okay to press the field, our family is the first, and we will go and press the rice harvested today tonight." Shen Mei took the two small ones who had just left, and Shen Jinqian, who had just picked rice to line up at the press, came back.

There are pressing fields in the village, and when the harvest season comes, every household takes turns to press the grain out and then carry it home. There are many people in the village, and there are only one or two in the press, and at this time, they have to go to the press to line up, for fear that they will be late and line up to the end, and there are many people who don't sleep at night to take turns to guard.

Father Shen nodded and said that he understood, the movements in his hands were getting faster and faster, and the Shen family had a lot of rice, so he had to hurry up.

"You go up and rest." Looking at Liu Bicao's originally white face, which was already red in the sun at this time, she was a little distressed.

Liu Bicao raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead with her sleeve, and fanned the wind with her hand, "No, finish cutting early and go back early." After saying that, he continued to bend down and cut the ears of rice.

Seeing this, Shen Jinqian stopped talking, and together with Liu Bicao, his movements were much faster.

"This year's harvest is good, in addition to paying taxes, our annual rations are enough." Father Shen sat under the eaves, looking at the grain he had recovered today, and then thinking about the grain in the field, he only hated that he had to sleep to collect the grain.

Liu Bicao, who went to pick up eggs in the bamboo forest and came back, heard it and smiled: "Dad, don't worry, our life can only get better and better." ”

The dozen or so chickens raised in the bamboo forest have already begun to lay eggs, and some can pick up seven or eight a day, and some can pick up four or five a day.

Liu Bicao put the eggs in the kitchen jar and stored them, and then went to the vegetable garden to cut a handful of leeks, ready to add a leek scrambled egg. Now there is no worry about no eggs to eat at home, in addition to their own chickens laying eggs, some people who come to Liu Bicao to see a doctor also take eggs as a thank you gift.

"Is there anyone in Aunt Shen's family?" The family was about to eat when they heard someone calling outside the door.

Shen Mu hurriedly returned: "Someone is here." Seeing that the person who came was Aunt Chen, "What's the matter with her aunt?" ”

"Ouch, I'm really sorry to disturb your meal, it's like this, my second daughter-in-law didn't have a miscarriage two days ago, thanks to your green grass." As he spoke, he put the basket in his hand on the table, "This is a thank you gift." ”

"This can't be helped, her aunt, your family gave thirty wen that day, and we can't take this anymore." Mother Shen hurriedly refused.

Aunt Chen did not retreat: "This is what you have seen, Bicao saved my daughter-in-law's life." Now my daughter-in-law is much better, and this is all as it should be. ”

Then the two talked for a long time, but Shen's mother had no choice but to accept it, and when Aunt Chen left, she lifted the cloth on the basket and saw that there was about a pound of pork and a small bag of brown rice inside.

The Chen family is considered to be a good family in the village, and they are the only Xiucai in the village, and their father and eldest son are Xiucai who opened a private school in the village. The second and third children are also children.

When Father Shen saw it, he also felt that this ceremony was a bit heavy, so he took the opportunity to teach Liu Bicao a few words, which was nothing more than asking her to be more cautious in the future and be more attentive when seeing a doctor. Liu Bicao nodded spontaneously.

The family was like a spinning top, busy for a few days, and the ears of rice and soybeans in the field were recovered, and there were still three acres of corn left.
