Chapter 8 Keeping the Land in Your Hands
"Mother......" As soon as Uncle Shen got up, he was glared at by Mrs. Shen.
"Isn't it just two more people on the table to eat, what's the trouble? Not tired enough in the production team during the day?"
"Mother's heart doesn't know where it is now, our family has so much to eat now, and it's good to drink the northwest wind together after eating. Sister-in-law, you should also say something about this. The third daughter-in-law of Shen was still angry after saying a lot, and went to pry up the eldest daughter-in-law of Shen who was bowing her head to eat next to her.
Shen's daughter-in-law frowned, with a sad face. "The second brother and sister should go to the table to eat, and I was ready to mention this matter a long time ago. The second brother has received a lot of allowances over the years, but the recent harvest has not been good, and the surplus food at home is about to be gone. ”
"That's my coffin board money, who dare to move?" As soon as she heard the allowance, Old Lady Shen snorted heavily. "Since the show girl can get off the kang, she will follow the second daughter-in-law to the production team tomorrow to earn a share of work, so that she can have a meal in the production team at noon. ”
Sure enough, the old lady refused to suffer, and she had to go to the production team when she went to the table for dinner.
Seeing the old lady Shen's fierce appearance, Shen Xiu narrowed her eyes, and a little smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The more reluctant the old lady was to pay the allowance, the better, anyway, her original goal was not to get money.
He Juan felt sorry for Shen Xiu's health, and was pleading with the old lady, wanting Shen Xiu to go to the production team a few days later. And Shen's third daughter-in-law was mocking all kinds of on the side, saying something similar to "Your child's body is delicate".
"Grandma, I'll go to the production team with my mother tomorrow, and if I want to eat, I have to work, my granddaughter knows. As for the allowance, the money was originally for you to provide for self-defense. Shen Xiu hugged Mrs. Shen again and gave her a shot first.
Looking down and seeing the flattery on Shen Xiufei's face, the old lady was very heartbroken. "After Xiu Yatou's serious illness, everyone is a lot more sensible. ”
Shen Xiu caught the smugness in the old lady's eyes, and she only felt funny.
Sure enough, it's an old child, so I just coaxed her as a child if I knew it.
"Our family's self-reserved land has not been planted for a long time, and my mother wants to take care of it, can my grandmother?"
He Juan was pulled on her sleeve several times before she took over the conversation. "That's right, mother, the self-reserved land over there is almost wasted, and my daughter-in-law wants to try it. ”
"You can plant that piece of land if you want, but the production team's affairs can't be delayed. ”
Shen Xiu compared and smiled like a child.
Well, she was a fourteen-year-old.
"Grandma is great!" to get the results she wants, she is now very generous.
He Juan nodded again and again and made a guarantee.
Although she didn't understand what Shen Xiu was happy about, her daughter was finally so happy, even if she worked a little more tired to take care of the wasteland, she didn't think it was anything.
Sycophants!
Shen's third daughter-in-law's face was ugly and she protested loudly.
"Mother, I don't agree!"
"Are you going to plant the land for yourself?"
"I, how can I have time?" that wasteland is thankless, so she doesn't want to plant it!
"If you don't plant, what's the problem with planting for the second daughter-in-law? I can't stop you when I eat!" The old lady Shen squinted at the third daughter-in-law with triangular eyes, and there was impatience on her face. "If you don't have any opinions, so be it. ”
"We have no opinion, we have to get up early tomorrow to go to work, so we will go back to sleep first. Uncle Shen and Shen's daughter-in-law led Shen Da Shen San to stand up and go to their own house.
"If you don't eat it, put it away, but there's no kerosene to make you miserable." ”
Old Mrs. Shen wiped the corners of her mouth and followed Uncle Shen's family. "Eldest daughter-in-law, has the junior been a little lighter in his studies recently? How did you educate him to study as a mother? The old Shen family is counting on him to go to a secondary school. ”
Shen's daughter-in-law should have helped the old lady back to the main house.
"Still eating!" Shen San's daughter-in-law stomped her feet angrily and pulled up Shen Sanshu and Shen Er, who were still eating. "It's a long way to go, and there's no time to get home. The second sister-in-law should not be too happy, it will not be good if she is happy and sad. ”
However, in two minutes, everyone in the family disappeared, and only Shen Xiu and He Juan were left in the courtyard.
Shen Xiu took two breaths of fresh air and patted the little fat face.
She was so excited just now that her face was full of tears. blamed her for being good at playing and crying too much.
"It's all gone, so much food is mine!"
Shen Xiu picked up the crockpot containing the dog meat, stuffed the meat into her mouth wildly, and didn't forget to beckon He Juan to eat. "Mom, you have to eat first before you have the strength to wait for Dad to come back, right?"
He Juan is now thinking about her husband Shen Tiqing, where is she in the mood to eat. She took two bites casually, and when Shen Xiu finished eating, she cleaned up the dinner table and went back to the house together.
The two of them washed their hands and feet one after another, and lay side by side on the earthen kang.
"Shen Laosan, you are really useless! I am not easy for outsiders to talk about the matter of self-reserved land, why don't you speak if your surname is Shen?"
"Do you want to sleep with this?"
"Don't sleep, get out of here!"
Holy!
Uncle Shen slammed into the closed door panel.
Facing the bright moon in the sky, Third Uncle Shen let out a long sigh.
He was really depressed, and in a few days, the old lady changed her attitude, and her daughter-in-law also had a good temper.
Who can tell him what really happened?
And the person who can tell him why is laughing on the kang.
Shen Xiu had already noticed the movement in the yard, and she was cheering for the third aunt unkindly.
"Xiu'er, have you slept?" He Juan touched Shen Xiu with her elbow and lowered her voice.
"Not yet. ”
"Why haven't you slept yet?"
“……”
Shen Xiu pursed the corners of her mouth, a little speechless.
He Juan kept tossing and turning, and the two of them slept on the same kang, and it would be amazing if she could fall asleep.
Is this a reflection of a woman's zero IQ in love?
Shen Xiu turned over and came face to face with He Juan. "Mom, you haven't slept so late, are you too happy to know that Dad is coming back?"
"You little girl, you're a ghost. He Juan was embarrassed by Shen Xiu, and her face was slightly red in the moonlight.
Since Xiu'er recovered from her illness, although she still had the same demeanor and tone as before, after all, it was her daughter who was the one who pulled her up, and she still noticed that her daughter had changed.
used to be stupid and stupid, but now she is honest and smart, a serious illness made her Xiu'er become a hidden needle, and she was happy from the bottom of her heart.
Looking at the smile on Shen Xiufei's face, He Juan sighed lightly.
"Xiu'er, mom is sorry for you, I've really made you suffer all these years. ”
What's the use of saying I'm sorry? I don't want your sorry with my predecessor.
You don't have such buns, and my heart isn't so tired. He has a weak personality, and the daughter he raised is also timid and afraid, and he became a starving ghost at a young age.
Although Shen Xiu complained wildly in her heart, this was her own mother, and even if she was desperate, she could only smile and tolerate it.
Changing He Juan's bun character, Shen Xiu felt that there was no hope. But now that I'm here, I can keep her safe.
However, she also understands that a big reason why He Juan is so compromised lies in herself. It is not easy for a woman to raise a child, especially in the sixties.
A warm current crossed Shen Xiu's heart and held He Juan's hand. "Mom, I've worked hard for you all these years, Dad is coming back, I'm growing up and sensible, and life will get better and better. ”
"yes, he's coming back. He Juan smiled like an eighteen-year-old girl, with a pair of big eyes shining in the night. "Hurry up and go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the production team." ”
He Juan's happy appearance made Shen Xiu also bend the corners of her mouth, and the two fell asleep in the bursts of frog chirping.
