Chapter 293: Taking Auntie Around the Village
Zhang Cuihua explained immediately.
Only then did Shen Zhao come over to pay his respects.
Of course he knew this aunt. She used to come back once every year before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Zhao'er has met his aunt."
Shen Xinru was also happy to see Shen Zhao, and seeing his gentle appearance, she thought of his third brother.
"I haven't seen you for two years. Zhao'er seems to have changed a lot. He looks much healthier and stronger."
Shen Xinru looked left and right, and was grateful to her sister-in-law again.
The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and the eldest sister-in-law really did that. The third brother and his wife passed away early, and the eldest sister-in-law treated her nephew as if he were her own child. No other woman could do that.
"Yes, it's all thanks to Wanwan. Xinru, you don't know, right? After Shen Yuan came back, he took Shen Zhao away to live alone. Shen Yuan and Wanwan didn't treat Shen Zhao badly and even gave him books to read. This kid will take part in the children's exam after the autumn harvest."
"After passing the Tongshi exam, I will go to the county to study. Shen Yuan has married a good wife."
Speaking of this, Zhang Cuihua kept praising and sighing, making Su Wanwan feel embarrassed.
Shen Xinru opened her mouth and looked at Su Wanwan with gratitude.
It is normal for an older brother to be nice to his younger brother, but not all sisters-in-law will be nice to their younger brothers-in-law.
Looking at Shen Zhao's expression, you can tell that Su Wanwan, the sister-in-law, must treat her brother-in-law with care.
Shen Yuan, the eldest son of the third brother, is really a blessed man to have found such a beautiful and virtuous wife.
Shen Xinru was genuinely happy. Among all her nephews and nieces, she and Shen Yuan had the deepest feelings.
She is ten years older than Shen Yuan. She has been the one who has taken care of Shen Yuan since he was born. Even after she got married, she was still concerned about Shen Yuan the most, especially when Shen Yuan left home for the border and stayed away for eight years. During these eight years, she was worried about him all the time.
Now when she heard her sister-in-law say that Shen Yuan not only got married, but also had a child, her joy was evident on her face and she couldn't hide it.
"Are you Shen Yuan's children?"
Her gaze turned to Xiao Yue'er and Yun Yi behind Shen Zhao.
Xiao Yue'er blinked her eyes obediently, but she seemed to be confused about what to call.
"Yes, this is Xiao Yue'er, this is Yun Yi, come on and call me auntie."
Zhang Cuihua introduced them immediately, and the two children politely called her auntie. Shen Xinru suddenly felt a little at a loss.
She suddenly realized something.
These two children are not only good-looking, but also well-dressed. Not only them, but also the children on my eldest sister-in-law's side are all dressed neatly, without a single patch on their clothes.
Looking at the three of them, although their clothes were clean, they had been washed so badly that you couldn’t see their original colors, and there were patches all over them.
This was the best dress she could wear.
She felt a little embarrassed. She should have given gifts to all the younger generations she met, but she only brought some wild vegetables and coarse grains that were not presentable at all.
She clenched her hands and laughed awkwardly twice:
"Hey hey... they are all good kids..."
Looking at the two children from my aunt's family, they also lowered their heads at this time, and there seemed to be a hint of nervousness and uneasiness in their eyes.
Seeing this, Su Wanwan immediately understood their predicament.
"Aunt, don't stand, let's sit down and talk."
She smoothed things over and the children immediately moved some stools. Shen Xinru sat down and finally relaxed a little.
Seeing this, Zhang Cuihua pulled Zhao Yan to the kitchen to cook and said to Wanwan:
"Wanwan, you can talk to your aunt for a while. If you can't, you can take them to the village for a walk. It's still early now. You can also go to your house to check on her and put her at ease."
Su Wanwan also felt it was awkward to sit there, so she thought about it and stood up immediately.
"Okay, Auntie, I got it. You guys cook, and I'll take the kids and aunt out for a walk."
Shen Xinru hadn't been back to the village for such a long time, so she naturally wanted to go out and take a look, so she stood up immediately.
A few children wanted to follow, and a large group of people rushed out the door.
Although it is not the autumn harvest yet, the fields are already lush and green, and the scene of the autumn harvest can already be imagined.
Especially this year, although the seeds were planted a little late, the weather was good and the crops grew particularly lush.
The soybean grains are full, the corn cobs are also very large, the sweet potatoes are not visible, but you can see that the leaves are dark green and lush.
Shen Xinru was stunned when she saw these. Apart from soybeans, she had never seen other crops.
"Is this sweet potato? I heard that someone in our village discovered a new crop, I think it's called sweet potato, and they actually planted so many of them."
Su Wanwan explained these crops to her one by one, but did not mention the yield or anything like that, just gave them an introduction.
The mother and her two sons were stunned when they heard it. Then they saw the Agricultural Office in the distance, which was also a long row of neatly built houses.
Su Wanwan introduced them one by one, and they knew this, but it was not until they saw the Agricultural Office with their own eyes and even saw two people in police uniforms walking in the cornfield that they dared to believe it was true.
Things are really different in her hometown village. The whole village is trying to follow the pace of development.
"There are actually villagers like this in our village. We can find so many crops. I heard that they have even improved their farming tools. I wonder which family they are and whether I know them."
Shen Xinru was curious. Is there such a capable person in the village?
Su Wanwan frowned slightly. She didn't expect that she didn't know it. She thought she knew it.
After all, the government had issued a document at the time. The issue of crops was issued here, but the issue of farm tools was issued to every village and every household.
Including the matter of water wheels, an official document was sent from the imperial court a while ago, ordering the promotion and manufacture of these water wheels in all villages.
But if you think about it carefully, those documents are all with the head of the village, and the news is passed down orally in the village. No one would care who invented it, they only know which village it came from.
"Aunt, you must know that person. It was my aunt who invented the farm tools and found the crops."
Shen Fengnian felt proud. His aunt was so great. Now the whole village respected her. As her nephew, he was also very proud.
What?
Shen Xinru, Wang Ping and Wang Baolin were all stunned.
The person who invented the farm tools and found new crops turned out to be Shen Yuan’s wife!
Yes, it seems that when I was studying in the village, I mentioned a name, Su Wanwan!
Wang Ping's face was full of admiration. She had never seen such a capable woman before.
Shen Xinru was even more excited and didn't know what to say.
It must be the blessing of their parents that the Shen family has such a capable daughter-in-law.
Shen Yuan was a kid who was lazy and climbed around when he was young and was the most mischievous. I didn't expect that he would have such a good fortune when he grew up.
"Aunt, I'll take you home to sit for a while."
Su Wanwan didn't say much and took the group back to her home.
When Shen Xinru saw this new home, she was so shocked that it felt like she was dreaming.
Such a nice house, such a big yard, and a pigpen, and especially the lush vegetable garden.
Clean, tidy and beautiful, you can tell at first glance that the hostess of this house knows how to live.
