Chapter 136 Visiting Wen
"Yes, yes, I will also help Miss Shen supervise the others. We can have such a good life because of Miss Shen. If anyone is not satisfied, we will be the first to not let him go."
"That's right, I still want to settle down in Daqing Village and have a few big fat boys with my wife!"
"No one can destroy the stable life we have worked so hard to achieve."
"Yes, if we all work together, our lives will definitely get better and better!"
"Alright, alright, let's go now. Now that we've finished planting the trees, let's all rest early. Tomorrow you can go to the village entrance and ride the village head's oxcart to town, or you can just walk. If the other saplings haven't returned by tomorrow, let's rest for another day."
After saying this, Shen Wanning and Lin Dashan each took a basket and left. A young man saw them and hurried over and said, "Miss Shen, let me help you carry it."
This young man was the first one to stand up and say that it was Heiba who stole their steamed buns.
Shen Wanning didn't refuse and handed him the basket. "What's your name?"
"Miss Shen, my name is Chen Zihao." He followed Shen Wanning and the others, carrying a basket in one hand.
"Well, not bad. How do you feel about living in Daqing Village these days? Are you used to it?" Shen Wanning continued to ask.
Chen Zihao looked up excitedly and said, "Of course it's good. Ever since we escaped from home, we've been hungry and hungry. It's been a long time since we've been able to eat a full meal and sleep well every day like now."
"Well, that's good. Work hard, and before long you'll be able to build your own house, so you don't have to live so crowded together. Once you have a house and land, you can truly be considered to have settled down in Daqing Village."
Chen Zihao nodded vigorously. "I believe that day won't be too far away. I'm alone and don't have much money to spend. Apart from the money for daily food, I want to save the rest to build a house and get married in the future."
Lin Dashan patted Chen Zihao on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, you have great ambitions! Our Daqing Village is full of first-class girls. You will never regret settling down in our Daqing Village."
Arriving at the Lin family's house, Chen Zihao put down the two baskets and wiped his hands. "Uncle Lin, Miss Shen, I'll be leaving first. I'm going to town with the others to do some shopping. I haven't changed out of this set of clothes for a long time. I'm going to buy a change of clothes."
Lin Dashan nodded, "Okay, go ahead! It's good to be clean! If you don't, you won't be able to get married in the future."
After the family finished lunch at noon, Shen Wanning felt that she was completely well again, so she dared to step into Wen's delivery room.
After picking out a piece of brocade from the warehouse and holding it in her arms, Shen Wanning went to Wen's room.
She walked over to Wen's bed and showed her the brocade. "Second sister-in-law, this is the brocade the emperor gave me as a gift. Use this piece to make a few clothes for Xiaohai. Children have delicate skin, so brocade is perfect for making close-fitting clothes."
"No, no, I can't accept it. This is a reward from the emperor. How can I accept it? Take it back quickly." Wen sat up, and Shen Wanning gave her a pillow to lean on.
"Sister-in-law, cloth is meant to be made into clothes. Otherwise, it will just sit in the warehouse and rot. Besides, even if the emperor hadn't given me these, I would have gone to the county town to buy brocade for my children. Now that I have these cloths, doesn't that mean I don't have to buy them?"
"Okay, then thank you Wan Ning. It's a blessing for the child to have an aunt like you." Mrs. Wen looked gently at the child who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
"Second sister-in-law, we've already said that you shouldn't use such polite words anymore. Why are you being so polite again today? I happened to be sick a few days ago, and I was afraid that I might pass my illness on to you, so I kept waiting until today to come and see you. I hope you won't blame me."
"Look at you. You just told me not to be polite, but now you're being polite. I heard from mother about your illness. I didn't pay any attention to you during the confinement period. How can you still have the nerve to let you come to see me?"
Aunt Zhang came in with a bowl of pork rib soup, looked at the two of them and said, "You two sisters-in-law, please stop saying anything to each other. You're all just being polite and you don't even feel thirsty."
"Mom." Shen Wanning called out, stood up and helped take the bowl.
"You kid, it's hard for you to always be thinking about Xiaohai. We've already made a lot of clothes for the child, enough for Xiaohai to wear for several months, but you still sent this brocade." Aunt Zhang shook her head helplessly.
"It would have been fine if we didn't have money before, but now that we have money, I naturally want to give the best to my children." Shen Wanning handed the bowl in her hand to Wen again.
"Forget it, forget it. I can't argue with you. You always have a million excuses."
Mrs. Wen smiled softly, "Mother has never been afraid of anyone in the village before, and she has never lost an argument. But when she meets Wan Ning, she is helpless."
"There's nothing we can do. It's because she has her own ideas. You eat first. Xu's meal should be ready. We'll clean up after we finish eating." With that, Aunt Zhang pulled Shen Wanning out to have lunch together.
Shen Wanning took Aunt Zhang's arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, you're not afraid of me, you're doting on me!"
Aunt Zhang smiled and tapped her nose. "Girl, I really can't do anything with you."
Not long after lunch, people from the county town came and delivered the second batch of saplings.
"Wait a minute, Dad. Keep the grape saplings and plant them on the farm." When Lin Dashan was about to move the grape saplings downstairs, Shen Wanning stopped him.
"What's the matter? Why do we have to plant it in the county? Wouldn't it be better to plant it in the village?" Lin Dashan asked in confusion.
"That's not the case. Grapes are difficult to transport. They'll spoil easily if transported from here to the county town. It's better to plant them here on the farm."
"I see. That's right. Grapes are soft and hard to store. Let's send them to the farm!"
After all the trees were unloaded, Shen Wanning called Aunt Zhang and said, "Mom, we're almost done with the housework. The rest is just like before. We just need to plant the trees together. Forty people will stay behind to help weed, dig ditches, and water the trees."
"Why, are you going to the county town again? Didn't you agree to rest at home for a few days?"
"Mom, I've been resting for several days and I've recovered from my illness. You see, I've gained weight during these days at home, and my clothes feel a little tight these days." Shen Wanning opened her arms so that Aunt Zhang could see clearly.
Aunt Zhang nodded. "I can't tell if you've gained weight, but it's definitely time to make you new clothes. I made you two sets of clothes in the first few days you came, and lately I've been so busy with the milk tea shop and tree planting that I almost forgot to make you clothes."
"Hey, mother, that's all I'm saying. The original clothes can still be worn. There's no need to make new ones."
