After the beginning of spring, the earth gradually wakes up from its slumber, and the sunlight becomes warm and soft, gently caressing every inch of land in the village.
The village began to distribute grain seeds, and the news spread quickly throughout the village like a spring breeze.
When the eldest and second brothers heard about this, they immediately got busy.
After a quick breakfast, they picked up their hoes and baskets and headed towards the granary at the village entrance.
Along the way, the two of them kept exchanging their plans and expectations for this year's farming, their eyes flashing with longing for a good harvest.
As the temperature rises, the ice and snow gradually melt, and the gurgling stream flows happily, as if telling the story of spring.
On the distant hilltops, dots of tender green appear and disappear, like a painting carefully painted by nature.
At the same time, the women in the village also left their homes and went into the mountains to dig wild vegetables.
Chunhua's mother and Huzi's mother were no exception. They walked hand in hand, talking and laughing.
Recently, Chunhua's mother had just married off her beloved daughter in a grand ceremony, and Huzi's mother had happily found a wife for her son, so at this moment both of their faces were filled with happy smiles, and their rosy complexions looked particularly festive.
"Yue Niang, let's go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables together!" Chunhua Niang greeted enthusiastically.
Song Yue lazily leaned against the door, eating melon seeds, and refused with a smile:
"I'm not going. My two daughters-in-law said the mountains are unsafe and insisted that I stay home and rest."
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at how lucky you are. It's different to have a filial daughter-in-law. You have the most free time!" Hu Zi's mother said enviously.
"Hey, that's right! Look at this pair of new cotton shoes on my feet, aren't they beautiful?
This is the fabric my eldest daughter-in-law bought with the cloth coupons, and then the eldest daughter-in-law sewed the soles stitch by stitch, and the second daughter-in-law made the uppers! "
Song Yue proudly lifted her feet to show her new shoes to her old sisters. Oh no, more than new shoes, her clothes and pants were all made of new cotton!
"Oh my, that's really enviable! Okay, okay, just stay home and enjoy your life. We won't take you out to dig wild vegetables!"
Chunhua's mother pretended to be angry and joked, but what she was thinking in her heart was that she was not envious.
Song Yue glanced at the time on the watch on her wrist and quickly reminded:
"Haha, go ahead! But be careful on the road and don't go too far into the mountains!"
"I know—"
Chunhua's mother and Huzi's mother responded in unison, then walked away with brisk steps.
Song Yue stood at the door, watching their figures disappear at the end of the path, then turned around, slowly closed the door, and returned to the yard.
In the biting cold wind, the cool fragrance of wintersweet comes towards you like a stream of clear spring, making people intoxicated by it.
The warm atmosphere of home is even more desirable, after all, it is a warm harbor.
Speaking of digging wild vegetables, it is simply a fantasy for her now.
You know, her family has no shortage of meat!
Not long ago, she and her bestie went to the mountains to set traps. After careful planning, they achieved remarkable results - not only did they capture many rabbits and pheasants, they even caught two sturdy wild boars!
At this moment, the meat in the space has piled up like a mountain, enough for their family to enjoy for a long time.
Just as she was immersed in this satisfaction, the daughter-in-law's clear cry came from the kitchen:
"Mom, the rice cakes are ready, come over and try some!"
Hearing this, Song Yue responded with a smile on her face:
"Hey, here I come~"
Then he clapped his hands lightly and walked towards the kitchen happily.
At this moment, she deeply felt that this kind of day is what real life is!
Although the family has now separated, these daughters-in-law are still as caring and filial as before.
Whenever there are any rare things or delicious food at home, the first person they think of is her, the mother-in-law.
Look, today the rice cake had just come out of the pot, so he hurriedly called her over to taste it.
As I walked into the kitchen, a sweet aroma of rice instantly hit my nose. It turned out that the freshly fried rice cakes were emitting an enticing aroma.
Look at those golden and crispy rice cakes, which are evenly brushed with a layer of secret chili sauce, which is bright red and oily, making people salivate just by looking at it.
Qian Duoduo, who was standing by, had obviously already been tempted by the delicious food and could not help swallowing her saliva.
However, even so, she still maintained a bit of rationality. She first pulled out a chair for her mother-in-law and placed it next to the stove, asking her mother-in-law to sit down and warm herself by the fire. Then she hurried to the third room and called her third brother and sister-in-law to come over and share the delicious food.
Song Yue gently picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into her mouth, chewing slowly.
When the familiar and mouth-watering spicy taste spread on the tip of her tongue, she couldn't help but exclaim:
"Wow, it's delicious! It's that spicy taste I haven't tasted in a long time!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but praise the eldest daughter-in-law who was busy at the side:
"My dear wife, your cooking skills are really amazing. In my opinion, you can definitely open a street stall!"
Hearing her mother-in-law's words, Lin Fangfang, who was cleaning the dishes, couldn't help but stop what she was doing, raised her head with a puzzled look and asked:
"Hmm? Mom, what does it mean to set up a street stall?"
Having lived in this small village for many years, Lin Fangfang knows very little about the new things in the outside world.
Song Yue frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up, as if she suddenly thought of something.
She smiled and explained to Lin Fangfang:
"Street stalls, to put it simply, involve finding an empty space on the street or in a market, spreading a piece of cloth, and placing the items on it and hawking them.
This not only saves store rent and reduces costs, but also attracts a lot of customers!"
As Song Yue talked, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this matter had potential, but after all, it was a serious matter and she needed to think it over carefully before finally deciding whether to put it into practice.
So she went on to say, “When your third sister-in-law comes over later, I’ll talk to you two about this matter in detail and see if it can be done.
If it works, maybe you can even earn extra income!"
Lin Fangfang has always known that she is not very smart and cannot be as clever as her mother-in-law and third sister-in-law.
So when she heard her mother-in-law's arrangement, she nodded without hesitation and said:
"Okay, okay! You have the final say, Mom. I'll just listen to you and my third sister-in-law. You're both smart people, so you won't be wrong!"
After saying that, she continued to work swiftly, secretly looking forward to listening to her mother-in-law's plan with her third brother and sister-in-law.
Song Yue really has no resistance to such a well-behaved daughter-in-law.
Okay, okay, she will give some advice to the eldest son’s wife later and let her good friend refer to the feasibility.
