"What are you so cautious?" Shen Renjie shook his head, poured a cup of herbal tea for Shen Lan, and then sat aside and said: "Now your brother Renjie can answer your questions well, this time I went to Qi County to collect medicine, and stayed in the mountains for more than a month, but I dug up some commonly used medicinal materials, isn't this a busy farming, I was afraid that my father would not be able to do it alone, so I rushed back, so as not to get his old man tired." ”

After listening to Shen Renjie's words, Shen Lan felt that what she was asking was nonsense, she knew that she would go back to her parents' house to help, not to mention Shen Renjie, she would definitely miss her old father, but thinking that he was back, Uncle Yunting was also accompanied by someone, and Shen Lan was a little happy for Shen Yunting in her heart.

"Brother Renjie, will it take a long time to come back this time?" Shen Lan drank the water before asking.

"Not necessarily, this digging medicine is just a matter of eating and sleeping in the open, and there is no fixed one, my father was not at home for many years when he was young, and it was not easy for me and my mother to see him once." I don't know if he remembered his childhood, Shen Renjie's expression was a little vague, presumably he still resented his father for being away from home when he was young.

"Oh, by the way, Brother Renjie, when are you going to find a sister-in-law?" Shen Lan jokingly said, Shen Renjie is two years older than his eldest brother, and older than his husband Song Wenxiang, he should have started a family at such an age, but there are only two fathers and sons in their family so far.

Shen Renjie's face flushed slightly when Shen Lan asked him this, and then he said with a smile: "I've grown up and learned to play tricks." ”

"Look." Shen Lan lifted her son up to Shen Renjie before continuing: "I'm a child, compared to me, you have to grow up." ”

Hearing this, Shen Renjie was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing, this dead girl even dared to play with him like this.

"What's the matter with my dad? He's gone to see someone, and if you want any medicine, I'll prescribe it to you. After laughing for a while, Shen Renjie asked.

Shen Lan threw a roll of her eyes at him, and then replied: "You can't look at me, I can't come to see him except for seeing a doctor, he usually stays in the village alone, and I naturally want to come to see him when I come back, and I will accompany her to chat, and besides, my family likes my grandfather, right." ”

Saying that, Shen Lan carried her son, faced herself, and played a game with her son on her forehead, and suddenly the stone let out a giggle laugh, waving her little hands and kicking her little feet, which was very cheerful.

Now that the weather is hot, Shen Lan changed the stone into a one-piece open crotch baby clothes, but she no longer wrapped him densely.

Shen Renjie felt that his cousin came to the door to find him an uncomfortable rush, is this picture of mother and son loving each other a bit too much, he is still alone, should he be more restrained?

"Lan Niang." Shen Renjie shouted in a long tone, Shen Lan looked up at him, "I have a feeling that I want to throw you out." ”

With a snort, Shen Lan also laughed, this tease can't be from the same place as her, right?

"By the way, are you going to stay for dinner?" Shen Renjie, who changed his face quickly, asked seriously.

"No, I'll go back later, and when my third sister finishes cooking, I'll go to the field with me." Shen Lan shook her head, she took the time to come over to say hello to Shen Yunting, and by the way, she gave the pearl to Shen Yunting.

Shen Renjie nodded and said, "Listen to my father, your cooking is good, since my mother left, I haven't eaten a decent meal, when will you have time to come over and cook for me." ”

It turned out that she wanted to be a cook by herself, Shen Lan showed a disdainful look at Shen Renjie, and then said: "If you want to eat well, you won't find a sister-in-law to come back and do it, so someone will take care of the uncle, he is also old alone, and he does everything by himself." ”

"Isn't this my father saying that he has traveled all over the country, and the food you cook is delicious? I'll try it. Song Renjie smiled flatteringly.

Shen Lan didn't bother to take care of other people's affairs, so she said: "Okay, when the farm is over, I will cook a good meal for you and your uncle, but you have to understand that you are taking the blessing of your uncle, and I am not cooking it for you." ”

Song Renjie nodded to show that he understood, the brother and sister chattered, and Shen Lan went back, after all, she would have to go to the ground to help later, since they had already returned to their parents' house, they couldn't do nothing, that would be too ugly, I was afraid that they would provoke gossip.

After Shen Lan fed the child, she helped to pack the meals with household goods, and then instructed Shen Wei to watch the child at home, and then followed Shen Lian to deliver the food, the Shen family's field was still quite far away, and it took almost a quarter of an hour to reach the boundary of the land, and the Shen family in the field wore straw hats and short brown to cut grain in the field.

"Father, mother, it's time to eat." When they arrived at the shore of the field, Shen Lian shouted at the field.

Hearing the sound, the Shen family who had been cutting the valley all stood up straight, looked back in the direction of the sound, and saw Shen Lan and Shen Lian standing on the shore of the field, carrying baskets in their hands.

So a few people walked over to this side, Shen Lian put the basket of rice cake on the ground, and Shen Lan took out the vegetables in the basket of vegetables, mainly fried eggplant and boiled bacon plus a few pickles, the bacon was still brought back from Shen Lan's house, and now it can be used to add vegetables, in addition to these, there is also a pot of Houttuynia tea, which is used to quench thirst and relieve heat stroke.

"When did you come back?" Shen Xiaoquan walked to the shore and asked sullenly.

"Father, mother, I'll be in the house at noon today." Shen Lan replied.

After cutting the rice all morning, Shen Zhao was so tired that he didn't want to speak, so he just nodded, sat down on the shore of the field, reached out and took a rice cake and a pair of chopsticks to eat.

"Big sister." Shen Mei was also sweaty, it seemed that Shen Lan smiled shyly, Shen Lan nodded, took the rice cake and chopsticks and handed it over, Shen Mei took it and took a hard bite of the rice cake and ate it silently.

"Eldest sister, where are Shi and Xiaowei?" Shen Hailing didn't have much energy, so he took the rice cake himself, and after eating it, he asked about the two small ones.

"At home." Shen Lan replied while pouring water for everyone, everyone had been working all morning, and they were all a little dehydrated at this time, it was best to supplement some light salt water at this time, but unfortunately there was no at the moment, only brewed Houttuynia cordata.

The other half of Shen Lian was not idle, and when everyone else had eaten and drunk water, Shen Lan and Shen Lian began to eat.

"Why did you come back so late?" Finally relieved, Shen Zhao asked.

"I went to the county, and I have already done a good job of Hailing's study, and I have paid all the restraints, and I put some money at Aunt Yun's, and Hailing will borrow it from her house in the future." Shen Lan chewed slowly and ate the rice cake and spoke.

"What kind of money to put in it, let Hailing directly bring rice and grain over, you child is a big spend, you still have stones to raise." Shen Zhao's original displeasure faded a lot because of Shen Lan's words, after all, her daughter also went to do something, and she didn't deliberately come back to help.

"It's always inconvenient to bring rice and grain, give money, Hailing will not be wronged, as the saying goes, three days is a guest, come three days is not a guest, if it is boring, it is better to pay for food and accommodation directly." Shen Lan replied that in this era, people feel that it is appropriate to go to relatives or go to relatives, and they will not feel that they are troubled by others at all, but Shen Lan grew up in a different environment, she has lived in a big city since she was a child, and her contacts are relatively cold, and she is also more clear about right and wrong, usually a way of dealing with money and goods.

"That's your aunt, why do you care so well?" Shen Xiaoquan interjected angrily.

Shen Lan wanted to rush out, it was indeed her aunt, but she was not her own mother, so there was no reason to help provide free food and lodging, but in the end she endured it.

"The money has been given, so it's hard to get it back." In the end, Shen Lan had no choice but to speak like this.

Shen Xiaoquan also knew this truth, so he didn't say anything more, but asked, "How much money did you pay?" ”

"Two taels of silver, including room and board until the end of the year." Shen Lan replied honestly.

As soon as they heard that it was two taels of silver, the Shen family couldn't help but be a little stunned, how long do they have to save so much money?

"So much, you shouldn't have spent all the money you spent last time to sell grain, right?" Shen Xiaoquan frowned and asked.

"The eldest sister also bought a pair of silver hairpins for the younger sister, with bells on them, and they will make a jingling sound when walking, which is good." Shen Lian interjected.

Suddenly, except for Shen Hailing and Shen Lian, the rest of the Shen family looked at Shen Lan, Shen Lan was a little embarrassed, but she still spoke: "You can't let the family help with things for no reason, so I put two pairs of earrings for my aunt and cousin-in-law, and by the way, I bought some jewelry for everyone, the mother is a bracelet, Mei Niang is a silver hairpin, and Lianniang and Xiaowei are hairpins." ”

"Smack!" Shen Xiaoquan slapped his chopsticks Tian An, and looked at Shen Lan with a gloomy face, Shen Zhao's face was not very good-looking, but Shen Mei looked at Shen Lan with a little gratitude.

"Where did you get the money? The kid surnamed Yuan came to you? Shen Xiaoquan asked sharply.

Shen Lan was stunned for a moment, but she was not afraid, and said calmly: "No, I earned it myself." ”

"You earned it, how did you earn it? Listen to your tone, I'm afraid that I can't do these things without seven or eight taels, and there are two taels of Hailing's study, which add up to no less than ten taels of silver. Shen Xiaoquan spoke with a dark face, completely looking like Shen Lan had done something unseemly.

Shen Lan didn't want to expose her way of getting money, so she kept her mouth shut and just silently ate the rice cake in her hand.

"Dad, the last time I went to the county with my eldest sister, it must have been the eldest sister who sold things that time." Shen Hailing hurriedly explained.

"What can I sell to make seven or eight taels of silver?" Shen Xiaoquan turned his head and asked his son.

"It's jerky and eggs." Shen Hailing replied.

Hearing this, Shen Xiaoquan sneered and said, "Are you a wild man in the mountains when you are your father?" ”

Suddenly, Shen Hailing didn't dare to speak. R1152
