014: The eccentric Shen
"Messing up again?" Shen's face changed suddenly, obviously remembering something bad.
"Yes, the situation in the county has also become tense recently, mother, did you find that there are a lot of soldiers walking around the town recently when you came? I heard from our shopkeeper that martial law is about to begin. Qi Ge'er sighed worriedly.
Su Niang respectfully brought water to Shen, and also said: "The shopkeeper said that our restaurant may have to be closed for a while, calm down about the things outside, and then come back, so Xianggong and I also plan to pack up our things and prepare to go back." ”
Although Shen Niannian was confused on the side, she didn't speak, she didn't know anything about the border, and the memory of the original owner was also vague.
The expression on Shen's face had become solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, you can pack up your things, and we will go back together tomorrow." ”
Qi Ge'er nodded: "Then mother, you will be here with Su Niang and the eldest sister tonight for the time being, and I will go and talk to the shopkeeper." ”
Shen nodded: "Go ahead." ”
Su Niang also went out with Qi Ge'er, and Shen frowned and said to Shen Niannian: "Niannian, while it's still early, let's go buy some more things." ”
Shen Niannian was so smart, when she heard her say this, she said, "Mother, do you want to buy some food?" ”
Shen Shi looked solemn: "The terrain of Tuozi Village is dangerous, there is only one way out of the village, if the border is really going to be chaotic, we may not be able to come to the town for a long time, and now you and I have been driven out by the Liu family again, and there is no food on us, this time I go back, I must prepare well." ”
"Mother, what you said is, without further ado, let's go now."
Although Shen Niannian doesn't know much about the border, if it is really an invasion by foreign enemies, the impact on the border people will naturally be great, and there will definitely be a depression and the people will not be able to make a living.
Although the Shen family seemed to be just a peasant woman in the mountains, she was able to start preparing immediately after hearing the news, and I have to say that it did make Shen Niannian look a little high.
followed Shen Shi out in a hurry, and to Shen Niannian's surprise, she went to buy an ox cart first, and then went to the rice shop to buy grain.
Except for some coarse grains, Shen bought the most salt and oil.
There were several large jars, plus the contents of the coarse grain and white flour, and I went to pull some coarse cloth, and spent nearly eight taels of silver, and stuffed the ox cart to the brim, and then I went to find a place to live temporarily.
Qi Ge'er's place is so small, and now that they have bought an ox cart, they definitely can't go to live, so the Shen family is also a rare luxury, renting a small courtyard for a day for a night, and only meeting Qi Ge'er and them the next day.
And from beginning to end, Shen Niannian watched Shen's every move in her eyes, and found that she had planned everything in order, and she couldn't help but admire, but she also had a trace of jealousy and vigilance in her heart.
Not to mention how shocked Qi Ge'er was at the stuff full of ox carts, a group of four people sat in the ox cart, afraid that the child in Su Niang's belly would not be able to stand it, Shen also deliberately stuffed all the cloth under her buttocks, and returned to Tuozi Village safely and soundly after a bumpy ride.
At this time, Su Niang was obviously a lot more enthusiastic about the Shen family, obviously she already knew about the ten taels of silver, and when she saw the things on the ox cart, her heart became even more lively, but she was a good daughter-in-law.
"Mother, then we'll go back first."
When he was at the entrance of the village, Qi Ge'er led Su Niang out of the car, and now the Shen family is no longer the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, so naturally he can't go back with them.
Shen sighed lightly: "Go, your eldest sister and I will go to Lizheng first." ”
After parting ways, Shen drove the ox cart to Lizheng's house.
Wang Sanniang hurriedly came out after hearing the movement, and was immediately surprised when she saw the ox cart and the things on it: "Sister Shen, ...... are you?" ”
A smile piled up on Shen Niannian's face, and according to the instructions of the Shen family before, he stuffed a piece of broken silver into Wang Sanniang's hand, and said, "Third aunt, didn't our mother say before that she wanted to buy land and build a house?" So I came over and wanted Uncle Li Zheng to help choose a good place, our mother and daughter have no place to live, so I thought if you can live in your house for a while before the house is built? Of course, we won't live in vain. ”
Shen Shi also smiled and nodded on the side, before she went to dismantle the one hundred taels of silver tickets, and exchanged fifty taels of silver, originally planned to repair the common earthen houses in the village, but after careful consideration, she still planned to repair the blue brick and tile house.
However, I don't plan to build too big, except for the house that I want to leave for my two sons in the future, I also plan to build a big three rooms, and get a yard to come out.
Fifty taels of silver, she carefully calculated, only a little more.
"Hey, Sister Shen, I thought you were joking with me before, but I didn't expect to build it?" Wang Sanniang weighed the one or two pieces of broken silver in her hand, and a smile appeared on her face, and she hurriedly said: "If you have no place to live, just live in our house, anyway, we have a lot of houses, and there is no shortage of places for you two to live. ”
One tael of silver is not a small amount, and Wang Sanniang didn't expect the Shen family to be so generous, so she hurriedly went to find her own family.
As for where the half-aged who had just been abandoned got so much silver, she didn't delve into it, anyway, this matter is also someone's own secret.
Although Li Zheng was surprised that the Shen family wanted to build a house so generously, he still remembered what the Shen family looked like when they arrived in Tuozi Village, and the Shen people at that time looked like Peugeot, and the clothes they wore were not comparable to those of countrymen like them.
Although he later married into the Liu family and was tempered to become what he is now, it seems that now that the Shen family is not completely heartless.
After all, it's not their own business, the Shen family has no mother's family, so naturally they can only take the old girl to live as a widow, the head of the household has been moved out of the Liu family, and it is also appropriate to build a house in the village, it can't be in this cold day, homeless, right?
With Li Zheng's help, the Shen family soon spent three taels of silver to buy a good residential land, and then asked Wang Sanniang and Li Zheng to help find someone to build a house.
On this cold day, there is nothing to do in the field, and the men in the village are worried that the town has recently been under martial law, and it is difficult to find a way to live, but I didn't expect someone in the village to build a house.
Although Li Zheng has never revealed who the person who bought the land and built the house is, everyone also thinks that as long as there is work, it will be done.
After all, there is a salary of 30 yuan a day, which is not much worse than going to work in the town.
On a cold day, Shen's mother and daughter also stayed at Lizheng's house.
And the matter of Shen's abandonment spread in the village not long after, knowing that it was for such a trivial matter, many women in the village felt that Shen's brain must have been pumped.
It's not a big deal, why bother to be homeless in this cold day?
Everyone sympathized and watched jokes, but now they are temporarily living in Lizheng's house, and they don't go out all day, they just want to say a few words, and people don't know!
Mrs. Liu also secretly said that she was meddling in her affairs, but she was still worried about the maintenance fee in the next ten days, as for the matter of someone building a house in the village, she never thought that it would be related to the Shen family, but she couldn't wait for the ten days to pass quickly, so that she could go and see the jokes of the daughter-in-law who dared to go against her!
However, what makes the Liu family strange is that after Qi Ge'er in the second room came back, he didn't seem to have any reaction to his mother's abandonment, he should eat and drink, serve his pregnant daughter-in-law, and comfort Brother An, who was crying all day long.
Gossip and gossip in the village have been flying all over the sky.
Shen Shi pulled Shen Niannian quite leisurely and began to make clothes.
The female red of the original owner of the memory, Shen Niannian naturally can't do it according to her previous methods, this Shen is obviously a bad fool, and when she doesn't figure out this mother's attitude towards the original owner, she doesn't plan to expose herself.
So when she was making clothes, within two days her hands were deliberately pricked with blood.
Shen Shi saw her with a distressed look on his face and bandaged her wounds: "Niannian, you still have to do your own thing, and you should leave this dress to your mother." ”
Shen Niannian glanced at the semi-finished products made by Shen, the stitches were neat, and he couldn't even see any threads, and a lost expression appeared on his face: "Mother, I'm really useless." ”
Shen sighed lightly and looked at her with a loving face: "Silly girl, it's all bad for your mother, I haven't taught you anything all these years, and I have delayed you to become an old girl, you won't blame your mother, right?" ”
"Mother, what are you talking about, you have worked hard enough for so many years, I don't know how many grievances I have suffered for me, how can I blame you?" Shen Niannian smiled: "I look like this now, if I can't get married, I can't get married, I'll always be by your side, as long as you don't dislike Niannian." ”
Shen Shi was stunned, looking at her appearance, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, but soon he continued to dress as usual, and said with a light smile: "You are my mother's baby daughter, how can I dislike you?" ”
Shen Niannian smiled shyly like the original owner, and then continued to work with the needle and thread, although the stitches were still twisted and twisted, but under Shen's guidance, they were also decent.
As soon as the mother and daughter did this, the ten-day period had already arrived.
Shen Niannian was wary of this cheap lady in her heart, but her face was still the same as before, and even the true temperament that was inadvertently exposed in the Liu family some time ago was hidden by her in time, and the whole person was still the same as before, an ugly monster who was clumsy and not good at words, an old girl.
Seeing her like this, the Shen family also breathed a sigh of relief, and attributed the difference between Shen Niannian and the usual performance in the Liu family to the change in temperament after the catastrophe, and in his bones he was actually still the humble Shen Niannian.
It was at this time that Mrs. Liu also led Liu Er and several of her daughters-in-law and grandsons to the door, but because this was in Lizheng's house, she didn't dare to make a loud noise.
