Shen Xi cleaned his hands, finished eating, and then unfolded the good cloth he got today, put it on the bed, and showed it to the Zhuang family. Zhuang touched it, "These are all good materials, the price must be very expensive, right?" ”

"It's not expensive." Shen Xi said, "I specially found some flaws, and the shopkeeper couldn't sell them, so I sold them cheaply." "She doesn't want to deceive people, it's just that the Zhuang family is too wordy, if she knows the origin of these things today, she will have to nag for a long time.

Zhuang took the red satin and said, "Xi'er, my mother will make you a dress, this color is just right for your age, it is very playful and cute." ”

Shen Xi waved his hand and said, "Mother, why don't you remember, I have never loved this fancy dress." I bought this red satin for Wang'er, she is more suitable for wearing, and I also bought her a red head rope, which is just right for this satin. ”

Zhuang knew that he couldn't change Shen Xi's mind, so he could only follow her wishes. She folded the red satin and set it aside.

Shen Xi pulled the hard-won hemp material and said, "Mother, you wear this material, help me make a set of short shirts and trousers, the sleeves and trousers are smaller, it is best to pierce the mouth, so that it is convenient to work." ”

As soon as Zhuang heard this, he couldn't help but feel sad, and his eyes turned red.

Shen Xi was very puzzled, although she had been with the Zhuang family for a long time and understood her sentimental nature, but her red eyes and tears for no reason really made her scratch her head. She said thoughtlessly: "Mother, there is a lot of material here, you can also make a few new dresses yourself." If you love Confucian skirts, make a few more. ”

Zhuang Shi heard her say funny, wiped his tears with a handkerchief, "You kid, what do you say is nonsense." Where is the sadness for the mother, I don't have new clothes. It's just that I heard you say, don't want a red dress, as long as you wear clothes and pants for work, your mother will be sad. ”

Shen Xi was impatient, so she could only comfort her, "Mother, since you like me to wear a skirt, then you can make one, and I can wear it when I have nothing to do." ”

Zhuang frowned slightly, "This kid, hey...... Mother doesn't blame you for not wanting a skirt. It's just that my mother thinks that she is too useless, and wants you to run around with a ten-year-old child. If your mother is useful, you won't be running around at a young age. Xi'er, I've wronged you so much. ”

That's the case, Zhuang's is really too sentimental, not like a rural daughter-in-law. Shen Xi waved his hand, "I'm not aggrieved at all, I like it when I go out for a walk." And planting fairy grass is also something I love. Mother, you really don't have to worry. ”

Zhuang lowered his eyebrows and began to sort out the long green linen.

Shen Xi glanced at the wenge paperweight on the table and remembered Zhao Xinlan. She asked casually, "Mother, do you know Zhao Xinlan?" ”

Zhuang's face immediately became extremely ugly, like the summer sky, and when he said it, his anger and anger immediately appeared, "How do you know her?" ”

Shen Xi looked at her face and knew that things were not good, I was afraid that there were many stories between them. Thinking about Zhao Xinlan's expression, there was sadness, even guilt, while Zhuang's was more angry. Could it be that Zhao Xinlan did something sorry for the Zhuang family.

If the truth is told, according to Zhuang's current expression, I am afraid that all these hard-won things will be thrown out, which would be a pity.

Shen Xi didn't want to spoil good things. She could only make up lies again, "I met her." She stopped me and asked me if I knew Zhuang Hui, and I said it was my mother. She said she was your sister Jinlan. Also asked where I lived. ”

Zhuang frowned, "Did she say anything else?" ”

Shen Xi said, "It's nothing special, she showed me an old handkerchief, embroidered with orchids and the words 'Hui Zhi Lanxin'." I think that's your word, yes. ”

"What is she doing with that!" Zhuang grew angrier.

Shen Xi turned his head sideways and looked at Zhuang's, "Mother, what's wrong?" You look angry, don't you like her? ”

"It's not just that I don't like it." Zhuang said, "My mother hates her so much. It was she who hurt her mother for the rest of her life. ”

Shen Xi frowned slightly, he really couldn't think of how Zhao Xinlan harmed the Zhuang family, and asked, "What did she do?" ”

Zhuang took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and calmed down, "The matter between me and her, one or two sentences can't be explained. Ciel, you're tired from the day, go to bed early. ”

Shen Xi knew that it was impossible to ask anything more, so he had to give up.

A few days later, Shen Xi was meditating in the medicine field when he saw a carriage coming slowly. It's really strange, Zhao Ji's family usually comes on horseback, it is impossible to take a carriage, who will be in the car.

Shen Xi walked to the door. Their house was some distance from the village, and she was the only one in the vicinity, so if anyone came from this path, they would have come to them.

Who could it be?

Even Xiao Hei at home felt strange, shouting at the carriage "woo, woo".

Shen Xi patted its head, "Don't scream." ”

Xiao Hei whined aggrievedly.

When Shen Ping saw it, he hugged Xiao Hei and said, "Don't be sad, don't be sad, Brother Ping'er will give you peanuts." As he spoke, he pulled out a few peeled peanuts from his pocket.

Xiao Hei was immediately happy, licked the peanut into his mouth, and ate it very happily. made Shen Ping giggle.

Shen Xi shook his head again and again, such a good dog wolf beast went farther and farther on the road of the earth dog, and there was no tendency to turn back, it was really ruined.

The carriage stopped in front of her house. The housekeeper who drove the car lifted the curtain, and a woman came out of it. I saw her wearing a treasure bun, a hosta, a plain dress, a thin grease powder on her face, and an innate calm and dignified gesture. This woman is none other than Zhao Xinlan, who calls herself the sister of Zhuang's Jinlan.

The maid on the side immediately stretched out her hand and helped Zhao Xinlan get out of the carriage. Zhao Xinlan got out of the car with her skirt, saw Shen Xi, and said, "It's really hard to find, Xi'er, is your mother there?" ”

"Aunt Lan is good." Shen Xi said obediently: "My mother is inside." ”

"Okay, I'll go see her." Zhao Xinlan turned her head sideways and said to Jia Ding, "Bring everything up." ”

Jia Ding leaned half of his body into the car, pulled out a large bag and a lot of things, and stood behind Zhao Xinlan. Zhao Xinlan walked inside.

Zhuang was afraid that he had already seen Zhao Xinlan inside, not only did he not come out, but he also slammed the door shut and bolted the door.

Zhao Xinlan didn't expect the Zhuang family to resist her so much, and directly gave her a closed door. She settled down, hesitated at the door for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to raise her hand and knock on the door. "Sister, open the door, it's me, Xinlan."

"Get out of here! I said I wouldn't see you in my life! "Where Zhuang is speaking, it is simply hysterical howling.

The two servants, you look at me, I look at you, at a loss, and finally set their eyes on the master's mother Zhao Xinlan. She was also flustered.

Shen Ping heard his mother's cry, abandoned Xiao Hei, leaned on the door, and asked worriedly, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Did you fall, why did you cry? Open the door, I'll see where the injury is? ”
