Chapter 603 Unreliable Wife
Chapter 603 Unreliable Wife
Xia Wanniang gave the two little foxes a bath, but the color they had stained could not be washed off for the time being, so that was it!
Anyway, she didn't think that these two could turn white during this period.
At noon, she prepared self-heating rice for everyone, and Xu Mang drove a ox cart to deliver it to the people in the workshop.
No one took a rest after dinner. We didn’t feel hot in the house, so we just worked hard to process the grapes picked in the morning.
They have to work overtime to pick the remaining fruits at night. Those who have children at home take their children back to bed at night.
The next morning, those who brought their children came to the workshop to help process the grapes, while the rest of them rested at home and would come to help after noon.
At night, Xia Wanniang didn't let them stay up late. Basically, she let everyone go back to rest after working for a while and go to the workshop to work during the day the next day.
After a busy month, we have finally picked all the ripe grapes in the vineyard. Some of the unripe ones will have to wait for a few more days.
However, Xia Wanniang did not plan to make the remaining grapes into wine. She planned to make the remaining grapes into raisins and distribute them to the villagers, which was what she had promised.
Xia Wanniang also asked Xu Mang to buy a few sheep, and when the work was finished, she treated everyone to grapes, roasted whole lamb, and wine.
There was a bonfire lit in the drying yard, and there were tables and chairs all around, on which were placed bunches of sweet grapes and wine.
This wine was not brewed by them this time, but was taken out by Xia Wanniang from the exchange space. The wine they brewed themselves still needs to be aged, so it is not time to drink it yet.
Those villagers who know how to roast a whole lamb have already placed the lamb on the rack and are slowly turning it, brushing a layer of homemade seasoning on it from time to time.
The villagers were all very happy. They had a fulfilling and interesting year. They learned how to read and write, how to make wine, and tasted the most precious fruits.
The children around Xia Wanniang were looking at the roasted whole lamb and could smell the tempting aroma.
She was holding the note in her hand and reading it.
The news was from Wu Hanyu, saying that he was planning to marry Princess Zhuoma and the wedding would be held in the spring of next year.
Xia Wanniang looked at the letter on the paper. In the spring of the following year, after three years of work, it seemed that they would have to return to the capital by then.
It is still unknown whether they should all go back.
Xu Li's wedding will be held in Northwest City, and Xiao Chiye will return to Northwest City in October to meet them.
All in all, after she finished harvesting cotton, she would have to rush to Northwest City. This year had been quite fulfilling.
Qiu He brought the news that the fruits had been snatched away before they were even delivered out of Maocheng.
Xiong Da has already gone to the previous county town to harvest potatoes. Some of these potatoes were also sold in Northwest City, and most of them were transported out for sale.
She thought that next year, without her saying anything, the planting area of these fruits and vegetables would expand exponentially, and it seemed that everyone would be able to have enough food to eat.
Aunt Xiao saw that she was smiling and asked, "Good news?"
Xia Wanniang handed her the notes in her hand and said, "Mother, look."
Aunt Xiao looked at the news in her hand with a smile on her face: "It's really all good news."
Xia Wanniang nodded: "In three years, the northwest will become a place people will yearn for."
When the whole lamb was cooked, the villagers gave the best mutton to their family: "Madam, you can try it."
After expressing her gratitude, Xia Wanniang distributed the mutton to Aunt Xiao and several children. She didn't need to share with the others as they had already taken their plates to ask for food.
Xibao, Xile took a bite and it was so hot that she sucked her lips.
Xia Wanniang looked at the two children and said, "Blow on it before eating it, you won't have to worry about burning your mouth."
The two children then puffed up their little mouths and blew hard on the meat in the bowl.
Seeing that the two children's hair was covering their eyes, Xia Wanniang took out an elastic band from her bag and tied two small buns for the two children.
Lai Fu and his friends were each given some large bones or ribs, and they chewed them with relish.
Qi Xi has learned his lesson now, but he still doesn't like to pay much attention to Xia Wanniang, but he doesn't dare to be dissatisfied with her.
Because it knows that if it offends her, the whole family will stand on her side, and it will be alone, with no one to support it.
Sometimes it wonders why it chose Lai Fu as its unreliable wife.
