Wen Family Has a Wife

After everyone distributed the money, they all withdrew with satisfaction, and the Wen family courtyard was clean again.

In the main room in the backyard, a thick mat was placed on the brightly washed wooden floor, and a quilt was placed on top of the mat. It was surrounded by bamboo, and Wen Yuanxing was locked inside to play. There are few building blocks and bamboo tubes, these are all made for him by Wen Youshan.

Children can have fun with toys, and they won't pester anyone to accompany them. Wen Yuanjing is studying with Wen Yuanzhen, teaching and learning, so serious that adults don't dare to disturb them.

Chen Ningya was wearing a heavy coat standing under the eaves, silently looking at the gloomy sky, her thoughts drifted away, it would be the Spring Festival in a month or so, and she didn't know when the two children would be back?

Looking at the weather, it is estimated that it will snow again. How will the road go?

The more she thought about it, the more worried Chen Ningya became. Seeing Wen Youshan returning from the front yard, she hurriedly said, "Youshan, should we go to the town to buy a donkey?"

Wen Youshan jumped into the eaves for three or two days, widening his eyes in surprise, "Do you really buy it? Will it be too dazzling?"

Chen Ningya looked at him with a smile, "Now everyone knows that you have done a lot of work this winter, and you know the price, even if you don't say it, everyone can guess how much we earn, say this Does the topic make sense?"

Wen Youshan choked and was speechless. After a while of silence, he made up his mind and said: "Okay, then let's buy a donkey, a donkey is about ten coins, I can drive the donkey cart by myself, and I will also go to the county town in the future. It saves a lot of time.”

Chen Ningya nodded with satisfaction, and reminded me by the way: "Since you want to buy a donkey, you can simply ask someone to help repair this road in our house, and the donkey cart will be easy to go after."

Wen Youshan's expression changed. He originally planned to spend the ten coins to save money, but now it's good, not only can the ten coins not be kept, but he has to put a lot of money in it.

Chen Ningya pretended not to see his expression, put down the words and immediately walked for a walk. Wen Youshan wanted to complain to her daughter, but the children were all studying, so he didn't want to disturb him, so he could only leave angrily. As for the youngest one , was simply not within his scope of consideration.

After a snowfall, Wen Youshan was really in a hurry, so he ran to the town to get a donkey and came back. As soon as the donkey was pulled back, it was placed in the grass hut in the front yard, along with the stone mill. The former grass hut was burned by Huang Meng, and Wen Youshan built another one at the back. Putting firewood and placing the donkey halfway is enough. When the front yard is renovated, he will build a better nest for the donkey.

When I bought a donkey, I naturally had to drive a donkey cart, but I don't need to worry about it. It can be done after the road is repaired. The most urgent thing is to get the tools that Chen Ningya wanted. The couple worked day and night for more than ten days. Youshan reluctantly knocked out the Huajizi. Once this was done, Wen Youshan felt completely relieved. He had nothing to do but ran to the village a few times, and even went to the village chief to mention the road repair.

The village chief knew that he had made a lot of money this winter, so he didn't ask any more questions. He only said that it was his responsibility. Wen Youshan immediately became happy when he heard the words.

In the next time, Wen Youshan was busy driving donkey carts. Wen Yuanliang and his brothers followed a donkey cart back to the village on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month. In the evening, the village was so quiet that they could not even hear the sound of the dog barking from Chaimen. People stepped on the thick snow to drive home, leaving a string of footprints behind, and finally climbed to the front of the courtyard halfway up the mountain.

Wen Yuanhong shrank and slammed the door hard, shouting, "Daddy, we're back."

The Sun family at the foot of the mountain heard the movement, and Xiao Li said curiously: "The two children of the Wen family don't know where they were sent to be apprentices, but they came back so late. It's still so young, it's not that I can't open the pot, and I don't know what Aning thinks. I'm so willing to put it aside. I don't want my child to suffer at such a young age.

Moreover, Youshan is a carpenter himself. I heard that he has made a lot of money this winter. How can he send his children out when he is so capable? "

Li glared at his daughter-in-law and said angrily, "What are you blind?

It is the ability of others to find a master for their children, but you can send it, but do you have a way? There are many ways to learn more skills this year. "

"That's true." Mrs. Li smacked her lips and strongly agreed with Mrs. Li's words. Just look at Wen Youshan, how could he live his life just by relying on one hand, according to the speed at which he makes money, he will say next year. You can't even build the front yard, no one in the village has the ability.

Not to mention what the Sun family was talking about, Chen Ningya who was working heard the voice and ran out without saying a word. As she ran, she shouted to Wen Yuanzhen, "Big girl, hurry up and boil the water, your brother is back."

"Hey!" Wen Yuanzhen responded crisply, and quickly ran to the stove.

Chen Ningya panted and opened the courtyard door, hurriedly dragged the brothers in, quickly closed the door, and led them to the stove to warm up.

The brothers entered the stove and nestled directly to the stove mouth, shivering from the cold.

Chen Ningya was so worried that she quickly cooked a pot of hot ginger tea for them, and the two didn't recover until they drank the ginger tea.

Wen Yuanzhen helped them take off the felt hats on their heads and the smocks outside, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Yuanhong had kissed his sister before, and after a while, he followed behind his sister's ass, and said pitifully, "Sister, you don't know how miserable my brother and I are, we almost walked back by ourselves, or brother Hongyu. Saying we can't do this, he just rented a donkey cart for us and asked the uncle to take us to the entrance of the village, otherwise we would definitely not be able to come back."

Chen Ningya, who came in with the clothes in her hand, was stunned when she heard the words, and asked, "Are you guys out of money?"

The two brothers shook their heads in unison, "Dad didn't give it."

Chen Ningya: "..."

"Next time you go out, bring some money with you. If your father forgets, tell your mother, and she will prepare it for you." Chen Ningya said seriously.

The two brothers nodded sharply. This time they really learned a lesson. They deeply realized the dilemma of not having money when they went out, and they would carry the money with them at all times in the future.

The two who drank ginger tea were pushed by Chen Ningya to take a hot bath and changed into clean and warm clothes. Only then did they feel alive.

There are obviously more people in the family. Wen Yuanliang is already half a man. He can help with work, and Wen Yuanhong can also help. In his spare time, he can teach Wen Yuanzhen and Wen Yuanjing to read, and his days are full and happy.

On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Ningya began to prepare food for the Chinese New Year. This year, a lot of things have been grown at home. In addition to the common food from last year, there are also more storage-resistant vegetables such as soybeans, mungbeans, peanuts, sesame, white wort and aloe. , there are also two jars of pickled vegetables, two bags of dried bamboo shoots, two large tanks under the courtyard wall, one hides a lot of pork, mutton, chicken and duck, and the other is full of frozen seafood. .
