Chapter 033 Did something happen?
The meal was finally over and all the dishes and pancakes were eaten.
Song Mo and his two buddies put clean sand and charcoal into the well, and took the two men out to do business.
Wang Qiaolian and her daughters cleaned up the dishes.
While cleaning her up, she said to her eldest daughter, "Ke Xin, go back. Your sister and I will take care of the household chores."
go back?
Wen Kexin then remembered that her mother was talking about the Song family.
"Mom, didn't Song Mo say that her mother agreed for us to come over to help? I don't want to go back at night."
"No! You went back to your parents' home the day after your wedding and have been there until now. That's not right. Once you're married, your husband's family is your home. Your mother-in-law is kind-hearted, but you can't be so arrogant and ignorant. You must go back tonight and have a good talk with your mother-in-law to prevent her from having any wild thoughts. Look at how Song Mo treats our family. You should learn from her."
These sarcastic remarks made Wen Kexin think that her mother's ideas were in line with the thinking of people of this generation.
She was only fifteen years old and she had already become a married woman. Who could she turn to for justice? ,
After thinking about it, she decided that she would live with Song Mo for the rest of her life, and she couldn't neglect her mother-in-law's feelings just because she was young. She should really go back and see her.
I always feel uncomfortable going back alone.
"Mom, when Song Mo comes back, shall I go back with him?"
"Okay, it's settled. You all go back when the son-in-law comes back. We still need to thatch the house tomorrow, so you can come back later."
"Okay, I'll go collect some firewood and be back in a bit."
There was some firewood in the yard, but it was all used up for cooking just now. Not to mention heating the kang at night, there would be no firewood even for cooking tomorrow morning.
She wanted to collect some firewood before it got dark.
"That's fine. It will be dark soon. Go early and come back early. Take your second and third sisters with you."
"OK!"
In this way, Wen Kexin brought her two younger sisters and soon arrived at a swamp not far from home that was covered with brambles.
The swamp had recently dried up, and most of the lush brambles had become dead branches. The three sisters quickly collected a large pile of firewood.
Wen Kexin watched the dusk gradually creep up, glanced around and said, "Okay, we should go back..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw something shaking in the grass near the water.
"I'll go check it out!"
When she came closer, she was immediately happy.
Recently, her five senses are indeed stronger than those of ordinary people, and she can see from such a distance.
It was a lame duck lying in the grass incubating eggs.
She grabbed the duck and felt it was heavy, about three or four pounds.
Someone will come to thatch the house tomorrow. There are only a few pounds of meat left at home. With this wild duck, we can make another dish.
Looking at the place where the duck was lying just now, there were still more than a dozen wild duck eggs.
It looks very fresh. I picked it up and shook it gently. Fortunately, it has not been hatched for a few days and does not affect the taste.
She decisively picked up the wild duck eggs and put them in her lapel.
I looked around but found nothing.
I secretly decided to find some time tomorrow to come and take a look.
As the saying goes, if there is one, there will be another. Maybe you can also encounter wild ducks and wild duck eggs.
Of course, the more ingredients that don’t cost any money and can provide nutrition to your family, the better.
She came back happily carrying the lame duck and a bag of wild duck eggs.
When the two little girls saw the wild ducks and the eggs, they were very surprised and said, "Sister, you are so lucky. We often collect firewood here and have never seen wild ducks."
Wen Kexin explained: "I don't know who hurt this wild duck, its leg was sprained, and it hid in the haystack. I was lucky to see it. Let's go home quickly."
As she spoke, she put the wild duck eggs into the backpack, pulled the vines to tie the wild duck's legs, and put it in.
After carrying the firewood bundled by my second sister, I felt a lot stronger.
Then, he went home with his two younger sisters.
As soon as she entered the house, Wen Keai eagerly announced the good news: "Dad and Mom, my eldest sister caught a wild duck and picked up a dozen wild duck eggs."
Wang Qiaolian took the basket and her face immediately filled with smiles when she saw the wild ducks and wild duck eggs.
"Ke Xin, you are so lucky."
"Mom, it's not that I'm lucky, it's that our family is lucky. From now on, good things will continue to happen to our family."
Smiles appeared on the faces of the whole family, and the depression caused by Mrs. Wen and her friends making trouble during the meal gradually dissipated.
Wang Qiaolian praised, "My eldest daughter is still good at talking."
At this time, Song Mo and Daniu came in pushing a borrowed cart full of thatch.
Song Mo asked curiously, "I heard laughter outside the courtyard. What happy event happened at home?"
Wang Qiaolian came over to help and said, "Ke Xin went to collect firewood and caught a big wild duck. She also picked up some wild duck eggs."
Song Mo raised the corner of his mouth and nodded, saying: "It's really good luck!"
As they were talking, several people worked together to push the thatch on the truck in and unload it.
Daniu said goodbye and went back.
Song Mo washed his hands, glanced at Wen Kexin, and said meaningfully: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, it's time for me to go back too."
Wang Qiaolian said hurriedly, "Son-in-law, you two young couples can go back together. Your mother-in-law will be happy to see you."
This is what Song Mo meant. He was embarrassed to ask his young wife to leave in front of his parents-in-law.
I saw Wen Kexin was about to leave.
He said "Hmm!" with satisfaction, then turned and walked out.
Feeling his young wife's eager footsteps following him, he quietly curled the corners of his mouth.
When the two of them walked out of the yard, he reached out and held the other's cold little hand, but said with disdain: "Look, you can't even walk steadily. It's dark now. Don't fall."
Wen Kexin found that with a man's big hand holding her, she could walk much more steadily.
I complained in my heart: This man is not good at saying nice things and he even beats around the bush when speaking.
This guy looks like a rough guy, but he actually has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
Soon, they returned to the Song family and saw a kerosene lamp lit in the main house, with light dimly shining outside through the window.
Dani and Goudan's rooms were dark.
Nowadays, there is no electricity in the village, and there is nothing to do after dark. Most people will not light a lamp and stay up late, but go to bed early.
Song Mo whispered, "Let's go see mom and then go back to rest."
Wen Kexin nodded and said, "Okay!"
The two walked in and saw Feng Shulan sitting by the bed, sewing shoe soles in the flickering light of kerosene lamp.
Song Mo said with concern: "Mom, it's getting dark, go to bed early, and be busy during the day."
Feng Shulan put down the sole of the shoe in her hand, looked at the two people and asked, "You are all back? Is your in-law's leg okay?"
Wen Kexin said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, grandma. My father's leg bone has been reconnected and he will be fine after a while. We have been discussing the separation since I came back from the hospital. There are many things to do. I have to thatch the house tomorrow. Everything will be fine once the roof is thatched."
Feng Shulan knew all these things. She said calmly, "Oh, I see!"
Wen Kexin murmured to herself: Although my mother-in-law is not talkative, she doesn’t seem to be so cold in my impression. Could something have happened?
You can't ask this question, and my mother-in-law won't tell you even if you ask.
She quickly thought of something and looked at Song Mo, looking for an opportunity to signal him.
The room was too dark.
She must find an opportunity that Song Mo can see.
At this moment, Song Mo was looking at his mother with a frown, as if he couldn't understand why his mother's attitude had changed?
Wen Kexin was very happy, it turned out that this man had also discovered it.
In this case, there is no need to remind the other party.
At this moment, Song Mo looked at her with a concerned tone and said, "Ke Xin, go back to the house first. I'll talk to my mother and then go back. By the way, open the door and light it up. Be careful when walking."
