Chapter 116: The First Arrival
Later, Shen Lan and Shen Mei never came out, Shen Yunting and Yuan Hao ate watermelon and sat for a while before going back, the song ended, Shen Xiaoquan and Shen Zhao entered the bamboo bed and the tables and chairs were put into the house, at this time Shen Lan and her son were lying on the bed and preparing to sleep, but Shen Zhao walked in and said: "Lan Niang, this is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, your father means to let you go back tomorrow, don't forget to prepare the festival after you go back, finish the festival early, and come back for the reunion dinner, Wen Xiang is not at home, and you don't look like a reunion dinner." ”
Shen Lan was stunned, time flies so fast, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye, I think when she first came here, it was still a cold spring, but in a blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival in August.
"Got it, mother." Shen Lan replied meekly, and then asked, "Will Xiaowei go back with me?" ”
Shen Zhao shook his head before he spoke: "Originally, I wanted your third sister to accompany you back, but this child is becoming more and more disobedient, so I can only detain her at home, just let your second sister go back with you, and your little sister will stay at home to help cook." ”
Shen Lan didn't leave the house, so she didn't know about the stubble outside the house, but she didn't care about Shen Lian's affairs, so she didn't say anything, and Shen Zhao saw that Shen Lan didn't say anything, so she went out of the house and went back.
The next day, Shen Lan told Shen Zhao that he should not forget to return the clothes to Yuan Hao, and told them that if Yuan Hao went back late, he would return the used horses to others, lest she run again, Shen Zhao should naturally come down, so that Shen Lan took Shen Mei back together, Shen Mei has always been a hardworking and good girl in Shen Lan's impression, and she doesn't say much. And because she is the eldest child who stays with her parents, she is also responsible for disciplining her younger siblings, and she also loves her eldest sister very much, and sometimes she will be deliberately close, but Shen Lan is not the original owner, and Shen Mei does not have such a deep relationship, although she is grateful to Shen Mei for her occasional rescue, but the feelings are really not so deep, the sisters are not close or far away, this time Shen Mei went to Shen Lan's house for the first time after Shen Lan crossed.
Compared to Shen Wei, Shen Mei has a lot more to do. On the way, I also knew to hold the child for Shen Lan. If it was Shen Wei who followed Shen Lan back, such a situation would be impossible at all, because after all, Shen Wei was still young, and it would be good if he could walk back. It would be a bit too much for her to hold the baby.
Back in Songjia Village, Shen Lan first went to Song San's sister-in-law's house to get the key. Before leaving, she handed over the key to Song San's sister-in-law to help take care of it. After getting the key, Shen Lan took Shen Mei home, Shen Mei came to Shen Lan's new home for the first time, and there was a layer of curiosity in her eyes.
took the key and opened the door, beckoned Shen Mei into the house, Shen Lan first pulled the sheets and sheets in the bedroom off the bed, replaced them with clean ones, and then cleaned the house again, and then scooped out all the water in her own water tank to water the vegetables, cleaned the water tank before picking the bucket back, and only after getting these did she start to cook Chinese rice, she cooked a pot of rice at noon, stewed an egg, scrambled a pickle, and solved the lunch so-so.
After settling lunch, Shen Lan instructed Shen Mei to take care of the house and children at home, usually the stone is to take a nap around noon, so Shen Lan can't take him out, but there is no food at home, no matter what it looks like or what it does, Shen Lan wants to go to Song's shop to see, can she buy something back, not to mention making it for Shen Mei, but also for outsiders to see.
Shen Mei didn't say much, and listened to her sister's instructions to look after the house, so she naturally stayed at home obediently, while Shen Lan went out with a vegetable basket, and walked for a quarter of an hour to Song's shop, Shen Lan first went to the butcher's shop to take a look, it was already past noon, the meat in the butcher's shop was not much fresh, and there were flies flying around from time to time, but the people in the butcher shop put a blackened cloth on the meat to prevent the flies from biting the meat all the time, the good things had been sold out, and the rest was some lean meat and ribs.
So Shen Lan picked a piece of pork ribs and more than a pound of lean meat, compared to people in this era who love to eat fatty meat, Shen Lan still only likes to eat thin, when she burns braised pork, she usually bites off the lean meat, and the fat has been eliminated by her father, every time she does this, her father is very happy, and thinks that she loves her own father, in fact, she just doesn't like to eat fatty meat, and then habitually feels that this thing is a man's favorite, and her father is the only man in her family, so this honor belongs to her father, I don't know what Shen Xiaoquan would think if he knew Shen Lan's true thoughts.
After buying meat, Shen Lan went to the grocery store again, she mainly wanted to buy some beans to go back to sprout, she thought about it when she was in Shen's house before, but before she had time to put it into action, she was driven back, she didn't have any beans at home, so she wanted to buy some back, so she could send some bean sprouts to eat, now the weather is hot, bean sprouts grow very fast, as long as two or three days can grow to an inch long.
Speaking of bean sprouts, Shen Lan really sent it, because for a while the TV has been broadcasting poisonous bean sprouts, and she really wanted to eat it at that time, the key is to watch the news, and the end of the insertion of life tips is bean sprouts, so she went to the supermarket to buy a pack of mung beans, and according to what she mentioned on TV, the bean sprouts were sent for a period of time, although they did not look as good as those sold outside, but the taste was still delicious, and then asked her mother, saying that when she sprouted, the bean sprouts saw the light, so they looked different from the outside, Shen Lan thought so.
According to Shen Lan's mother's experience, bean sprouts are like this, first soak the beans in warm water for one night, and the next day the beans will break the skin, at this time put the beans into a jar, and pickle them in a jar of pickles, and then sprinkle water inside, cover the lid and put it in a cool place, and sprinkle water once every six hours, if you can stuff the wet straw in the jar, the bean sprouts will grow strong and long and white and tender, but at that time Shen Lan lived in the city, and she had never seen what the straw looked like, so she could only use the jar to put it in and sprinkle water on it regularly. After three days, a jar of bean sprouts grew, enough for her family to eat twice.
Now that she has taken out green leafy vegetables, Shen Lan thought of sending bean sprouts, at this time, she can take them out and eat them in a day or two, and others will not say anything, and Shen Lan has always been inseparable from vegetables, and she always feels that she is not used to eating pickles, after all, she grew up in the city, and she only eats fresh vegetables when she is young, and as for pickles, she will eat some shredded mustard, pickles in boiled fish and Korean kimchi, but these are just shallow tastes, and the right way is still fresh vegetables, meat and eggs.
So Shen Lan went to the grocery store to buy half a bag of mung beans and half a bag of soybeans, both kinds of beans can sprout, and also bought three catties of peas, when buying beans, she suddenly remembered that she still likes to eat pea seedlings, it is better to plant some too, pea seedlings are different from bean sprouts, you can plant them directly, and you can pick and eat them after it grows stems and leaves, anyway, Shen Lan doesn't expect peas to bloom and bear fruit, she just wants to eat the stems and leaves of pea seedlings.
After buying so many things, Shen Lan rushed home, and when she returned home, Shen Lan was stunned, the sheets and sheets were already cold on the clothesline outside the house, and they were fluttering in the wind, it seemed that Shen Mei didn't do anything at home, but washed the sheets, Shen Lan really felt that Shen Mei was a good and diligent child.
"I'm back." As soon as she entered the house, Shen Lan shouted, but the sound was not loud, she was worried that it would make noise to the stone that took a nap.
Shen Mei hurriedly walked out of the house and saw a shy smile on Shen Lan's face.
"The eldest sister is back, the stone hasn't woken up yet, do you want to drink some water, I'll pour it for you." Shen Mei hurriedly took the cloth bag in Shen Lan's hand and asked as she walked towards the house.
"No, you don't." Shen Lan didn't feel how thirsty she was, so she couldn't help but ask again: "You washed all the sheets, why don't you keep me to wash them tomorrow?" ”
Shen Mei smiled, still calmly replied: "Anyway, I'll wash it if it's okay, and besides, won't the eldest sister leave tomorrow?" ”
"Huh?" Shen Lan was a little confused by the second monk.
Shen Mei had such an expression on her face, and then explained softly: "Eldest sister, the Mid-Autumn Festival is going to give a festival gift, the uncle and the third uncle's house are far away, we have to send it in advance, if we wait until the festival, how can we come, and a few uncles' houses are also to be sent, as well as a few aunts' houses and aunts' houses, it will take several days to go back and forth, take advantage of the early preparation now, or wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be too late for others to pick it up." ”
Shen Lan knows that she wants to give gifts during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but is it just for her own mother's family? It turns out that I have to send so many people, there is no car at this time, I walk by foot wherever I go, and I really have to hurry up and get ready, so I think Shen Lan is a little depressed, she also wants to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to plant some bean sprouts to sell, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is destined to have no vegetables to eat, this bean sprouts are not robbed when they come out, but unfortunately it backfired.
A little sullen followed Shen Mei into the house, this travel is so inconvenient is really a troublesome thing, it seems that after the festival, I still have to go to the horse market to buy a horse, and I also want to get a carriage, but where is the money coming from, in addition, she can't drive the carriage, thinking of these Shen Lan has a little headache.
"Eldest sister, why are you buying so many beans?" Carrying the cloth bag into the stove, Shen Mei couldn't help but ask.
"Originally, I wanted to send some bean sprouts, but I planned to make some money before the Mid-Autumn Festival." Shen Lan replied depressedly.
Shen Mei knew that in the past, in winter, the family would also send it, but I didn't expect it to be sent at this time, this time in previous years was when the vegetables were born, where would I think that this year was hit by locusts, and there was no food, but the idea of the eldest sister was not bad, but now it is going to be shelved until after the holiday.
"It's okay, it's not difficult for us to send it after the holiday." Shen Mei smiled and comforted Shen Lan, Shen Lan could only nod, although it can be sent after the festival, but who is willing to spend money to buy it after the festival, and others are not stupid, if they can think of sending bean sprouts, can't others think of it?
