After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the smell of the New Year gradually dissipated, and then it was the most important day of the year.

The advent of spring also brings new hope to people, and everyone has a happy smile on their faces. After the difficult days of winter, spring, the season of recovery, is naturally very important.

As soon as spring comes, as a person who relies on the mountains to eat the mountains, it is a happy event, and it is also a blessing given by God, and the villagers naturally want to grasp this blessing, taking advantage of the time when wild vegetables grow wildly, fish breed, and animals run all over the mountain, the girl and the ladies who do not have to go to the field go to the mountains to receive the blessings from nature.

Liu Bicao's favorite is spring, and she went to the town early to buy cucumbers, pumpkins, green beans, eggplants, peppers and other vegetable seeds, and after the first spring rain, she couldn't wait to take a hoe to the Shen family's vegetable garden. She has been "eyeing" the vegetable garden for a long time.

As for which corner of the vegetable garden is clocked and what, it has long been planned in her heart, and it is easy to do, Liu Boan set up a shelf around the vegetable garden according to her instructions, Liu Bicao planted the vegetable seeds that want to grow vines around the shelf, and the rest of the vegetable seeds were planted in the middle.

After two busy days, he finally cleaned up the vegetable garden, and Liu Bicao joined Shen Mei non-stop, going up the mountain every day, this time he was even busier than Shen Jinqian.

"Where did the crucian carp come from?" Liu Bicao saw that Shen Jinqian was holding two crucian carp in his hand, which was not small.

Shen Jinqian took a wooden basin and put two crucian carp in it, and let it spit out the silt: "I saw the catch when I went to the ditch to fetch water when I ordered corn, and you can watch it at night." Now Shen Jinqian has a lot of words in the face of Liu Bicao, according to the previous words, it must be two words "grasp", so he will not explain it like this.

Liu Bicao nodded with a smile, indicating that she knew, and was also thinking about taking crucian carp to stew soup and drink, and thinking about the words in the field, so she asked him: "Is the work in the field done?" Tired? ”

"Now you want to ask me?" Shen Jinqian's tone was dissatisfied, and Liu Bicao heard a little bit of complaining and coquettishness in her ears, and couldn't help but be a little funny, and glanced at him with slanted eyes, "I care about you every day." ”

Shen Jinqian pressed the corners of her bent mouth and touched her head: "I'll go to the field first." He walked to the door and came back, kissed the corner of her mouth while Liu Bicao was not paying attention, and then left quickly.

Liu Bicao was stunned in place for a long time, not relieving herself, and for a long time she raised her right hand and touched the place that had been kissed by Shen Jinqian, and smiled stupidly.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law." When Shen He came over to call Liu Bicao, when he saw her like this, he thought she was sick, and he was a little anxious, so he called several times in a row, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" ”

It was only in Shen He's cry that Liu Bicao reacted: "What's wrong?" Little lotus. ”

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? I've called you a few times, but you haven't answered me. Shen He tugged at her sleeve and shook her hand.

Liu Bicao took her hand and lowered her head to look at her: "Don't worry, sister-in-law is fine, what do you call me?" ”

"I see fish in the tub, are we going to eat fish at night?"

"That's right, how does Xiaohe want to eat those two fish?" Liu Bicao looked at this sister-in-law who loves to eat, and she was a little funny.

Shen He thought for a while, and his eyes lit up: "Make fish soup, sister-in-law, we haven't drunk fish soup for a long time, father, eldest brother, second brother and sister all want to drink fish soup, sister-in-law, do you want to drink it too?" ”

Liu Bicao pinched Shen He's little nose: "You little clever ghost, you obviously want to drink, and you have to pull the whole family up." ”

Shen He pounced on Liu Bicao embarrassedly, hugged her legs, buried his face in the hem of Liu Bicao's clothes, and refused to lift it up for a long time.

Seeing that it was not early, if he didn't cook dinner, he was afraid that Shen's father and they would not have a hot meal to eat when they came back, so he hurriedly patted Shen He's back: "Come up, sister-in-law is going to make fish soup." Shen He obediently raised his head and let go of Liu Bicao, and followed her to the kitchen.

Because she wanted to drink fish soup at night, Liu Bicao decided to cook dry rice at night, scooped some rice in the rice tank, mixed it with sorghum rice, mixed it together, washed it and put it in the pot to cook together.

After the rain two days ago, the mushrooms on the mountain grew wildly, and the family loved to eat them, Shen Mei picked a lot of them and came back, and Liu Bicao picked some and washed them, ready to make soup with the fish.

Taking advantage of the time to boil the fish soup, Liu Bicao went to the backyard vegetable patch to cut two handfuls of leeks to prepare for a leek egg, and picked a large handful of shepherd's cabbage from the basket to eat cold.

"Sister-in-law, come on, the pot is boiling." Shen He called her loudly in the kitchen.

"Here, Xiaohe, don't move Guo, stand well." Liu Bicao heard Shen He call her, afraid that she would lie down and come to the kitchen, and saw Shen He standing obediently in place, "Really good, sister-in-law will scoop a bowl of fish soup for you to drink in advance, okay." Shen He nodded happily, clapped his hands and said yes.

"Sister-in-law, I'm back." When Shen Mei came back, Liu Bicao had just finished dinner, and when she saw that Liu Bicao was busy, she put down the handkerchief and luozi in her hand to help: "Sister-in-law, do you want to bring the food out?" ”

The weather was still cold now, and I was afraid that the food would be cold when Father Shen and the others came back, so I decided to put the food on the stove in the kitchen to warm it.

"The veil and the rope have been recovered?" After finishing the kitchen, the two sat in the hall chatting and waiting for them to come back for dinner.

Years ago, Shen Mei listened to Liu Bicao's words, took the handkerchief and the yarn to find her little sister, and today Shen Mei went to the little sister's house to collect the embroidered handkerchief and the finished yarn.

"It just so happens that your eldest brother and I are going to the town tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to help you take the handkerchief and the silk to the embroidery house and sell it." Liu Bicao helped her count how many there were, and planned to go to the town over and over again. "Then sister-in-law, can you still come back with a handkerchief and a rope? Xiuxiu, they all still want to embroider. Shen He asked.

In addition to following the adults of the family to work in the fields and mountains, the little girls in the village do housework at home when they have nothing to do, unlike men who can go to the town to work part-time jobs to earn some money. They all want to earn some money for themselves, but there is no chance, and now that they can earn some money with Shen Mei's veil and luozi, they are naturally happy.

Liu Bicao nodded: "Meizi, there are more than enough showmen in our village who are good at needlework. ”

Shen Mei is a smart girl, and as soon as Liu Bicao said it, she understood what she meant. Liu Bicao didn't say anything when she saw that she understood, and it happened that at this time, Father Shen and the others came back, and when they washed their hands, they were ready to eat.

"Daughter-in-law, how much money do we have?" After dinner, Shen Jinqian followed Liu Bicao into the room of the two.

"I haven't counted it specifically, what's wrong?" Liu Bicao didn't understand what Shen Jinqian was asking about the family's money, "Why did you suddenly ask about money?" ”

Shen Jinqian took off his coat and half-lay on the bed to watch Liu Bicao untie her hair: "Didn't you want to use the pond at home to grow lotus root and raise fish last year?" Now is the season when the fry come out. ”

During this period of time, Liu Bicao forgot about this matter, and her hair was untied, so she put down the comb and sat down next to Shen Jinqian, "If you don't say it, I forgot, when will the fish fry thing go?" ”

Shen Jinqian put his left hand around her waist, and helped her untie her unfinished hair with his right hand: "You are a busy person, how can anyone who even your husband has forgotten remember this incident." After a pause, he said, "I'm done with things in the field these days, and I'll leave the rest to Dad and Jinxin." ”

Hearing that he meant not to take Jinxin with him, Liu Bicao thought about it and asked.

Shen Jinqian nodded: "Jinxin is in a hurry, I'll take Bo'an." "With Boan?" Liu Bicao was a little anxious, and hurriedly turned to look at Shen Jinqian.

The matter of buying fish fry is so important, Shen Jinqian took Liu Boan without Shen Jinxin, Liu Bicao couldn't help worrying, if there was anything bad in the village, there would be Shen's father and Shen's mother......

Shen Jinqian knew Liu Bicao's worries: "Bo'an has a stable temperament, he is suitable, and Bo'an is your brother-in-law, my brother-in-law, are you afraid that others will gossip?" After saying that, he scraped her nose with his hands, and then hugged her tightly with both hands,

Liu Bicao listened, and didn't say anything anymore, staying in his arms with peace of mind.
