Chapter 494: Visiting the Door Second Watch
Song Hongguo took the changed clothes and shoes in a basin, took a bar of soap, and went to wash it outside the gate and in the stream.
I don't know why, but sitting on the rocks by the stream and scrubbing my clothes is a different feeling from washing at home, and the mood seems to become cheerful while stirring the water that keeps flowing down from the mountains.
There is a row of weeping willows planted next to the stream, so even in summer, it doesn't feel too sunny to squat here, and people in the village like to wash clothes, vegetables, and even dishes and chopsticks.
While working, you can also pull at the same time.
Her family lives at the foot of the mountain, and the closest neighbor is Qiao's house diagonally opposite, and the door is closed at this time, and no one chats with her.
She also likes this tranquility, cicadas chirping, birds chirping, and dumplings calling around her, which will only set off this tranquility better.
After washing slowly, just about to enter the house, I heard the sound of gongs in the village, and after a burst of "bells", faintly, there seemed to be footsteps rushing to somewhere, and there were vaguely mixed with a few excited shouts.
Ling Zhi now knows more about the affairs of the village than she does, and when she saw this, she explained, "The village is going to divide the wheat, and each family will send a representative to the wheat field to collect it, and I heard that I can get a little more this year." β
Song Hongguo asked curiously, "How many catties can each person share?" β
Ling Zhi said, "It is divided according to centimeters and heads, and people work seven times and three, and they get it...... It's about a dozen pounds, right? Why don't we take a look? β
No matter how old the child is, he also likes to be lively, Song Hongguo saw that he and Ling Yuan were eager to try, so he waved his hand, "You two go play, you Aunt Han Ying will come in a while, I will stay at home and wait for her." β
"Alright, we'll be back later."
"Don't rush back, just play with your friends."
The two went out hand in hand, Song Hongguo put a straw hat on their heads, stuffed a handful of sugar and melon seeds into their pockets, and gave a few words of safety in a clichΓ©, and then watched them go.
In later generations, such a big child, when a parent will definitely not worry that they will go out to play by themselves, but now, one or two years old can leave the family alone, and the older children are running everywhere, and they have never heard of adults following, so she has to follow the customs.
The system wanted to live distribute the grain, and the excited ones followed.
Song Hongguo dried his clothes and found that everything outside the house was cleaned up, and there was really not much work to do, so he found some reed curtains from the house where the grain was stored in the Dongping House and took them to the side of the stream to wash them.
These reed curtains, the weaving is quite fine, should be the original owner used to hang on the window to shade the sun, now the curtains at home are she bought from the mall, the pastoral atmosphere full of cotton and linen floral fabric, not only can shade the sun, the key is to look good, these reed curtains are idle.
She wanted to reuse it, so she hung it under the front building, blocking the sun and playing a certain beautifying role.
Sure enough, the actual effect after hanging it was even better than she imagined, with a fusion of classical and pastoral atmosphere, which has a unique charm.
She came to the interest, and made a lot of changes and arrangements under the front building, next to the bamboo on one side, there is still a set of bamboo tables and chairs, but there is an extra water tank, there is a lotus flower standing in the water tank, the most shy to be put out, the wide lotus leaf is still rolling with water droplets, full of green, and the bamboo complements each other, and even the air is a lot cooler.
On the other side is the Luohan bed, where there are flowers and plants at the head of the bed, and there is also a stone trough full of water hyacinths, which is full of vitality and makes people happy.
After Song Hongguo finished his busy work, he clapped his hands with satisfaction, feeling that there were still two flower shelves missing, and it would be more perfect.
This time, she wanted to do it herself, so she fixed it one by one with the most primitive wooden sticks, which should be more wild than the elaborate ones.
Just do it, she went to the firewood shed in the backyard to find suitable branches and sticks, and when she was tossing and turning, Han Ying came and brought a net of food and drink for the two children, as well as fabric that could cut two sets of clothes.
When he entered the door, he first drank a bowl of cold-soaked mung bean soup, and the heat suddenly disappeared, and then he waved a pu fan and lay down in the rocking chair and swayed a few times, Han Ying just wanted to sigh comfortably.
"You're so good at enjoying it, this little day is really enviable......"
Song Hongguo put all kinds of snacks on the half-stone table, brewed a pot of barley tea, pinched the root fruit peel, chewed slowly, and said casually, "You can too, I didn't tell you last time, there are still idle old houses in the village, arrange them according to the way you like, and envy others?" β
Han Ying laughed at herself, "What I lack is a house?" It's the mood of decorating the house, even if it's really arranged, it may not be able to move in, my grandfather, my dad they won't agree, it's Xu Wei, hum, I'm afraid I have to preach to me. β
Song Hongguo couldn't answer this, so he changed the topic, "You and Xu Wei, do you have any plans to get married?" β
Han Ying was silent for a moment and shook his head, "He didn't mention it, and I didn't want to ask, let's talk about it first, anyway, I'm not in a hurry, what about you?" You and Huo Gong are in love, do you have any plans to get married? β
Song Hongguo said, "There is no plan yet, but at the end of the month, Director Zhou's birthday, his brother and sister-in-law will go." β
Han Ying heard the subtext and teased with a smile, "Oh, this is an ugly daughter-in-law who wants to see her in-laws?" β
Song Hongguo turned her face away uncomfortably, "What in-laws?" It's his brother and sister-in-law, and it's not a formal meeting, it's just a coincidence that they appear on the same occasion and have a meal. β
"Okay, no need to explain, if you explain more, it's a cover-up, I understand!" Han Ying smiled and watched her face turn red, and said narrowly, "Congratulations in advance, the beautiful man you hugged!" I'm waiting to eat the candy of the two of you, and the wedding wine, Huo Gong values you so much, he will definitely make the wedding decent and lively! β
Song Hongguo, "......"
It's getting farther and farther!
She tugged back, "It's still early, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?" At his house, I don't know what the situation is, in case ......"
Han Ying said firmly, "There will be no case, even if his family does not agree, he will not listen, Huo Gong has always had ideas, it is said that since he was very young, he has made his own decisions, study and work are like this, and marriage is an exception if it doesn't make sense." β
"Moreover, you are so good, unless you are blind, you will definitely be satisfied with a daughter-in-law like you when she enters the door, and her face is so bright!"
"Of course, the lintel of the Huo family is not low, and it is normal to be picky, you, just relax, I estimate that Huo Gong will definitely arrange everything, alas, what should I do if I envy you even more?"
Han Ying said gloomily, "Xu Wei's parents are very strict and very particular, they are all people who are used to giving orders on the table, alas, how low do you have to put your posture when you are a daughter-in-law for his family?" Fu low and small, compromised, with my temperament, when I enter the door of his house, I won't stir up the Xu family's chicken and dog jump, right? β
Song Hongguo said, "You can move out after marriage, and if you don't live together, there won't be so many contradictions." β
Han Ying sneered, "Xu Wei is a dutiful son, will he live separately from his parents?" It would be fine if his parents had been working in the city, but it wouldn't be long before the city government moved to our county, and at that time, Xu Wei would definitely not live in a single dormitory. β
Song Hongguo was speechless for a while. (End of chapter)
