Chapter 18: A Lot of Things!!
Chapter 18: A Lot of Things!!
Shen Ya and her mother bought a lot of things along the way, including three quintals of charcoal, three quintals of firewood, as well as fresh vegetables, meat, and many spices for cooking. When she was cooking fried rabbit meat before, she felt that there were too few seasonings at home, and she kept thinking about buying some seasonings when she came to the market, such as chili, mustard, peppercorns, etc., which are indispensable for cooking.
In addition to these, she also bought some pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Shen Yan, when I went to his room before, I saw the old and used rice paper that he usually used for practice, and she also came here as a student, of course she knew how harmful it was to use these papers for study, so she was interested in buying some new paper for him at that time.
I also bought a lot of other bits and pieces, all of which are necessary for the winter.
After buying so much, it only cost four taels of silver, which made Shen Ya have to sigh that the price was cheap in ancient times. The remaining six taels of silver, according to Shen's mother's idea, was intended to be saved and used in the future, but Shen Ya felt that the silver could be earned in the future, and now she added more things to her home and had a warm winter. So in the end, the two of them made a calculation and decided to spend five taels of silver to buy two new quilts and come back. The quilt at home is old and hard, not warm at all, Shen Ya has been here for so long, she often wakes up in the middle of the night for no reason, and then she can't sleep, the quilt at home really makes her unaccustomed to sleeping. Besides, at night, there is a Shen mother by her side who can warm each other, and Shen Yan sleeps alone, so you can imagine how cold it is. Some time ago, I heard him sneeze, and I was forced by Shen Ya to pour a few bowls of ginger soup to get better.
She didn't know how the "Shen Ya" family survived the winter of previous years, but now that she has come to this world and become a family with Shen's mother and younger brother Shen Yan, she must let them live a warm winter.
The two of them walked around for a morning, bought a whole ox cart of things, Shen's mother saw ten taels of silver, and actually spent nine taels, very distressed, Shen Ya persuaded for a long time, only to ease up, Shen's mother thought about it carefully, and felt that what her daughter said also made sense, since you have silver, don't hide it, the silver is spent, you can earn it again, if people are frozen and sick, then it is a sin, and Yan'er will take the township test in the spring next year, and she must take advantage of this winter to review her homework at home and prepare for the exam, so whether it is food, clothing, housing and transportation, you can not be sloppy.
If the township has tried, Yan'er can get the title of Xiucai, and only Xiucai is eligible to sign up and take the exam in Beijing.
The scientific examination is held every three years and is specially set up by the imperial court to select talents.
Shen Ya didn't ask Yan'er if he wanted to go to Beijing to take the exam, but he knew that he would take the township exam. There are not many people studying in the village, and even fewer can be admitted to Xiucai, who is still quite respected in Lujia Village.
When Shen's mother heard her daughter say this, she also felt that it made sense, and after thinking about it, she didn't say anything anymore and let Shen Ya buy it.
When the things were almost bought and it was time to eat, the mother and daughter originally planned to eat some dry food brought out by the family and deal with it casually, but now that they have silver, it is okay to have a luxury occasionally.
Of course, they were reluctant to go to any restaurant or other place to eat, so they only asked for three bowls of beef noodles on the side of the street, one bowl per person, and ate them beautifully. One of the bowls was for the coachman, which was invited by Shen's mother to eat, and it cost a total of fifteen copper plates.
A bowl of hot beef noodles went down to her stomach, and Shen Ya suddenly felt that her whole body was hot, and her stomach was also warm and comfortable. After the three of them finished eating, they took a little rest, and then drove the cattle back to the village.
Back in the village, Shen Ya and her mother moved down an ox cart of things, and it took about half an hour to pack it up. At dusk, Shen Yan came back from the school, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he smelled a pungent fragrance, which was the fragrance of rice, as well as the fragrance of vegetables, meat, and the fragrance that had not been seen for a long time, which made Shen Yan's stomach growl. I ran back to my house in one breath, and I saw several dishes on the table, including cabbage stewed pork, fried rabbit meat, and verdant green vegetables.
"Yan'er is back, go and put the bag, sit down and eat, the meal is ready, and there is only one soup left." Shen's mother came out with the meal, and when she saw that Shen Yan had returned, she said with a smile.
"Mother... Mother... Where did our family get the money to buy so many vegetables? Shen Yan thought that even if his mother asked Aunt Sun next door to borrow five yuan, at most she would buy some sweet potatoes and flour as in previous years, but he never thought that the family would cook so many dishes.
"This kid, where did you get so many problems, put the bag to eat first, and I will sue you." Shen's mother knew that her son would be surprised, in fact, she didn't expect that the family would also have such a hearty meal, for more than ten years, thinking that she had not been able to give her daughter and son a happy home, Shen's mother felt extremely guilty and distressed in her heart, and she couldn't help but moisten her eyes when she thought about it.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" When Shen Ya came out with the egg soup, she saw Shen's mother quietly wiping her tears with her palm, glanced at Yan'er beside her, and saw that he was still looking dumbfounded, knowing that he didn't know what was going on, so she didn't ask him.
"It's okay, my mother is just happy." Seeing the worried look on her daughter's face, Shen's mother hurriedly put away the emotion on her face, and said with a smile, she should think on the bright side, the conditions at home have improved a lot now, and she should be happy.
Shen Ya saw that her mother quickly regained her previous demeanor, so she put her mind at ease, and while serving the soup in her hand to the table, she turned her head and urged Shen Yan to enter the room and clean up and come out to eat.
Shen Yan listened to Sister A's instructions, went back to the room and put down the bag, and was just about to lift the curtain to go out to eat. When I turned my head, I saw that the place where I had originally put the quilt had been replaced by a brand new quilt. Shen Yan couldn't help but touch the quilt in front of him, it felt soft and comfortable.
This, what the hell is going on?? A qiē came too fast, Shen Yan couldn't react at once, why did Sister Ah and her mother go to the market and bring back so many things, especially this quilt and the rice paper on the table, look at the quality of the rice paper, it looks like the best paper, and there are so many three stacks, enough to use for a long time.
He hurriedly turned around, lifted the curtain and entered the front room.
"Mother, sister, this, what's going on, in my house, those...?" Shen Yan was already confused by the current situation, and his speech was a little incoherent.
Shen Ya saw that he looked eager, just pursed his lips and smiled, and did not explain, Shen Yan saw that his mother and sister did not seem to have any signs of explanation, but his originally anxious heart calmed down, he smiled bitterly, and understood that if he didn't eat now, his mother and sister would not seem to explain to him, so he simply pulled out the chair next to him, sat down, picked up the white rice hula in front of him and stuffed it into his mouth, and Shen's mother, who was watching, shouted next to him slowly, slowly.
This meal is so fragrant, Shen Yan has never eaten such a delicious dish since he was born, and he doesn't care about the quilt now, where the rice paper came from, and he only pounces on this meal.
Shen Mu and Shen Ya looked at each other and smiled, and they didn't say anything more, bowing their heads to eat.
