Chapter 167: From luxury to frugality
Xiao'er squirted back the grievances in her stomach, and finally felt relieved in her heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Old Man Shen knew what he wanted to know, so he waved his hand and asked them to go back, as soon as the third family came over, it was always noisy, out of sight and out of mind, "You go back, go to bed early, the third brother will send your eldest brother and second brother some food as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow, and bring two quilts over, this weather is cold, don't freeze in prison!." ā
"I'll be there early tomorrow morning. Shen Chengyao responded.
"Then let's go back first, tomorrow morning the eldest aunt, the second aunt remember to prepare food and quilts early, my father will come to get it before leaving." "As soon as the city gate is opened, she will deliver food! If he can say it, then she will get up early and set off! When her family goes to the county in time for the market, the city gate has been open for a long time!
"Just such a little thing, third brother and sister, you can prepare it easily!" Li Shi yawned and said casually.
"Just such a little thing, the second aunt can also help the uncle get ready!"
"Then how can I do it, why do you want me to do the uncle's business!" Li Shi said the words from the bottom of his heart without thinking.
Xiao'er smiled, "Why do you want my mother to do the matter of the eldest uncle and the second uncle?" ā
After speaking, she said to Shen Chengyao again: "Dad, I'm sleepy." ā
When Shen Chengyao heard this, he said goodbye to Old Man Shen and Shen Zhuang's family, and then went home with his wife and children.
Back in the main room, Liu took out one of the pills that Xiao'er gave her and handed it to Shen Chengyao, "This heart is boundless! As soon as the city gate is opened, I will send food and quilts! Then I have to go out early! I don't want to think about when we are locked inside, they are simply like snakes and scorpions! Forget it, ask you to go over and help, why are you still broken!"
"They thought I had caused my eldest brother and second brother to go to prison!"
"What! Do you really think that people all over the world are like them? You can only go out tomorrow at dawn, otherwise you won't go back to this house!" Liu Shi was very angry.
"Okay, I got it. Don't be angry!" Shen Chengyao hurriedly responded.
"I mean really!"
"I'll definitely go out when the sun comes out. Shen Chengyao hurriedly promised, "This wound is really painful!" Shen Chengyao deliberately touched the wound on his head with his hand.
"Is it still painful after taking medicine?" I'll take a look......" Liu couldn't care about getting angry, and Shen Chengyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
On the second day, Shen Chengyao came to the old mansion, and neither the Lan family nor the Li family were ready to bring anything to the two of them, so angry that Shen Zhuang scolded him!
In the next few days, Shen Chengyao and Shen Chengzu were urged by Old Man Shen to deliver meals and clothes to the two of them every day, and those who didn't know thought that he was going to do something glorious and big!
Later, it was the Liu family and the Lu family who detained the two of them and refused to let them go, so they gave up! At home, there was a bunch of work waiting for the two of them in the shop, and they didn't do their business, and whoever was instructed to come and go would be angry when they saw it!
The two were imprisoned for more than ten days, fined a hundred taels of silver, and then released, but this was enough for them to drink a pot!
These two people were also unlucky enough, the first time they did it, in order to try the depth of the water in this line, they only took a total of 50 catties of salt and tea, and they were arrested before they were sold!
But fortunately, I only took 50 catties, this time the case of selling illicit salt was widely implicated, a family in the imperial capital went bankrupt, the whole family beheaded the beheaded, exiled, sold, and sold in other prefectures and counties, and there were some people in other prefectures and counties who were bound to be raided, causing a sensation in the entire Minze Dynasty!
Shen Chengguang and the others were lucky, at least they only fined a little silver, and they didn't harm their families and grandchildren!
Of course, that's all for later.
When the three brothers started school, they all said that they would stay overnight in the school, and the children sometimes yearn for the days when they can be out of the hands of their parents, which feels like they can finally stand up as the masters of the house!
There are no strict requirements for whether to live in the school, they are all free to choose with the students, anyway, there are dormitories in the school, there are one room for one person, one room for two people, and one room for four people, which can be freely chosen by the students, but they must pay money.
Because the county is still far away from home, and the school requires students to read early on their own at the beginning of every morning, and the class starts at three o'clock, and the master arrives in the classroom at three o'clock in the morning.
Shen Chengyao felt that they had wasted a lot of time going back and forth every day, so he agreed.
They chose a dormitory for four people, but one roommate didn't live in the school at night and only took a break at noon.
On the first day, the three brothers ate in the cafeteria of the school, and the taste of the food was average, but they still ate it happily. On the second day, I barely finished all the meals, and on the third day, I took the initiative to take half of the meals, but I barely ate them all. On the fourth day, I went back to the wood shop to eat the food made by my aunt, and the total number was not hungry, and then I ate for two days, and the three of them felt that these meals were really too unpalatable, why the food at home was so delicious that people couldn't stop eating it again and again!
"Big brother, Brother Ri, I'm so hungry!" Lying on the bed in the dormitory at night, Jing Hao missed the boiled beef, braised pork ribs, and sauerkraut fish made by his sister......
"I'm so hungry too. Jing Rui was a little ashamed, before the separation, the food in the school was the biggest dream for him, but now he dislikes it and can't even eat it.
"I'm so hungry too. Fang Wenri felt that he had been too comfortable recently, and he even had the habit of mouthing, he used to have something to eat, but now he actually dislikes things that are not delicious!
"Brother, Brother Ri, when Mu Xiu goes back, let's tell my father and mother that we don't live in the school anymore, how about we go home for dinner!"
The two of them nodded their heads, they were so hungry that they almost didn't have the strength to write.
Mu Xiu returned home the day before yesterday, and the meal was simply devoured! Seeing that Liu and the others were dumbfounded!
"Why are you so anxious to eat, be careful of choking!" Liu patted Jing Hao, who was sitting next to her, on the back.
"I miss the food cooked by my mother and sister at home so much, the food outside is so unpalatable, I'm starving to death!"
"Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense, don't say that word!" Liu Shi listened and pouted a few times.
"You have a lot of skills, and now you know how to pick and choose! In the past, when there was a steamed bun for every meal, who said that it was good to be full?" Shen Chengyao was worried that his son would become arrogant.
"Dad, I was wrong! No matter how bad it is in the future, I will be full!" Jing Hao also felt that he was wrong, he really wanted to eat before, but he didn't have to eat! The biggest hope is to be full, no matter what he eats, now he should cherish it if he has something to eat. It is really easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.
Xiao'er disagrees, you can't waste food, but choosing more delicious food to eat is like choosing better things to do, this is a better attitude to life!
"Otherwise, you won't stay in the school at night, eat in the shop at noon, and then go home in the evening." ā
"It's the time to grow your body, how can you not eat a good meal, then go home at night, it's snowing heavily, it's good not to come back on a rainy day, there are a few fewer of you at home, and my mother feels too lonely and not used to it. ā
Although Shen Chengyao felt that it was wrong to indulge the child like this, the three of them had indeed lost weight, forget it, they didn't have enough to eat, how could they have the strength to read and write!
Xiao'er decided to send some rice noodles and vegetables to the wood shop on a regular basis, so that the three of them could eat good food! )
