The rain did not stop for a long time, Shen Lan also packed up the earthen pot and cup for drinking tea, and went into the house to take two pieces of cold rice cake to eat.

So Shen Lan turned around and went into the stove to boil hot water for washing, and Song San's sister-in-law also followed into the stove and sat behind the stove to help light the fire.

"Lan Niang, your mother-in-law's family is embarrassing you again today?" When Shen Lan scooped water, the voice of Song San's sister-in-law asking came from behind the stove.

Shen Lan paused in scooping water, and couldn't help but think of the scoundrel she had done in the morning, as long as she thought of crying like a vexatious child, she felt a little embarrassed.

"No, it's just that my mother-in-law wants me to pay for fish and meat to worship my ancestors, and you know, I don't have any money in my hand, so I can't take it out." Shen Lan then scooped up the water and explained in a flat tone.

"Hey, your mother-in-law is really good, why did she think of asking you to take the money out to buy fish and meat to worship your ancestors? It's not a big family, it's good to be able to fill your stomach, where can you have the money to buy those expensive things, isn't it embarrassing? Song San's sister-in-law sighed, her house was so far away that she could hear Lan Niang's heart-rending cry, but she was afraid that Lan Niang would be abused by her in-laws again, otherwise why would she cry so desolately.

Anyway, this Lan Niang is pregnant, penniless and separated, and now she is cheeky and asks people for fish and meat, how can there be such a shameless person, and she doesn't even care about Lan Niang's pregnant body, so she started beating and scolding, such a person is really Lan Niang's mother's family looked away.

Shen Lan, who was standing by the stove waiting for the water to boil, listened silently and did not answer, and at this moment there was a question from Song San's sister-in-law: "Have you been beaten again?" Your mother-in-law doesn't have a serious problem, but you are pregnant with a child, what can you do if you get a good fight? ”

Shen Lan blushed slightly, and didn't know how to answer Song San's sister-in-law, asking her to deny that she had been beaten and excuse Song Wang's family, it was impossible, as for admitting being beaten, Shen Lan would not say it in person, but instead left a bad impression of love, only without saying a word, let others guess, whether it was good or bad, let Song Wang's reputation.

"Sister-in-law, the water is boiling, let's fetch water and wash our faces." At this time, the water in the pot was emitting white smoke, and Shen Lan said to Song San's sister-in-law behind the stove.

"Okay, I'll bring water, I'm tired all day, it's better to go to bed early and sleep, I don't know if it will be sunny tomorrow, but it's best to rain a few more days, this spring rain is the best for crops." Standing up from behind the stove, Song San's sister-in-law chattered, walked to the stove and took Shen Lan's wooden basin filled with water, took the hot water and walked out.

"Yes, I also hope that this rain will fall for a few more days, so as not to carry water and water vegetables every day." Shen Lan also smiled and agreed.

"Has your vegetables sprouted? You grow vegetables finely, and when you see the heavens and the earth, you carry water and water the vegetables, and you don't care about your body, where is the need to water every day. Sister-in-law Song asked as she walked.

"It's already sprouting, I'm just such a vegetable patch, if I don't serve diligently, I won't have anything to eat, and I can't see heaven and earth relying on my mother's relief." Crossing the threshold, Shen Lan sighed and said.

"That's right, if Wenxiang is at home, you don't need to be so bitter, it's still fate." Song San's sister-in-law said a concluding remark, and Shen Lan did not refute it, but poured water to wash.

After washing, they both went to bed, although they were stunned for a while in the afternoon, but Shen Lan fell asleep immediately when she got to the bed, probably pregnant women have drowsiness, Song San's sister-in-law heard Shen Lan's slight breathing sound, and couldn't help but smile in her heart, so that her heart is so wide that she can at least sleep peacefully, so she also closed her eyes when she thought about it.

In the morning, the two got up separately, and it was still raining lightly outside, and Song San's sister-in-law hurriedly returned home, leaving Shen Lan alone, thinking that there was nothing to do on a rainy day, so she simply lay back on the bed and fell asleep.

When Shen Lan woke up again, she was completely hungry, and hurriedly went to the space to pick breadfruit and some vegetables, and then made a fire to cook today's first meal.

After eating, Shen Lan went to open the door of her house, in fact, at this time, the countryside is used to opening the door, and if you don't open the door so late like Shen Lan, you usually will be laughed at, but Shen Lan herself didn't know, but only started to clean the house and tidy up the room at this time.

"Sister-in-law, my mother asked you to send her another bowl of snail meat." The sudden sound startled Shen Lan, and when she raised her head, she saw Song Wenrui standing barefoot outside her door, speaking with a natural expression.

Looking at the light rain that was still falling outside, Shen Lan was silent in her heart before she slowly spoke: "Song Wenrui, it's raining now." ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Song Wenrui's face was calm.

Nima, let her touch the snail on a rainy day, she won't touch it herself if she wants to eat it so much, and besides, is the snail meat she made so delicious? even asked her to brave the rain to touch the snails for them.

"You can't let me brave the rain to touch the snails, if you're sick, will your family give you money to see a doctor?" Shen Lan spoke angrily.

Song Wenrui shook his head again and again, why did he want their family to pay, but he stubbornly wanted Shen Lan to take out another bowl of snail meat that he had eaten yesterday, so he still said: "I don't care, it was ordered by my mother, you go quickly, or you are unfilial." ”

Hearing this, Shen Lan sneered, and then spoke: "Song Wenrui, is your mother your mother?" ”

Song Wenrui nodded, it was his mother at the time, otherwise how could he call his mother from the beginning of his ability to speak.

"Then why don't you go and be filial to your mother, why don't you come to me and mess around?" Shen Lan asked rhetorically.

"But my mother asked you to take the snail meat." The child's thoughts are all God's thoughts, and they can't communicate at all.

"Song Wenrui, shall I tell you a story?" Shen Lan suddenly spoke.

Listening to the story, Song Wenrui suddenly looked at Shen Lan with bright eyes, looking like you were about to tell.

"Once upon a time, there was a child's mother who was sick and wanted to eat carp, but at that time it was when the snow was falling, and the ponds and rivers everywhere were frozen, and there was no carp to be found, but this child was very filial, so he thought of a way, that is, to find a frozen river, take off his clothes, and melt the ice on the river with his own body heat, and sure enough, a carp jumped out of the ice cave, and the child took the carp back to his mother to eat, and his mother's illness was cured. This story is called lying on the ice and begging for carp. Shen Lan said slowly.

"Oh, this child is a very filial child, sister-in-law, you are not as good as a child, it's not winter now, and you don't need to lie on the ice and touch the snails, you still push back, just like my mother said, you are an unfilial person." Song Wenrui nodded, feeling that he was right.

Shen Lan was so angry with him, this kid is pretending to be stupid.

"Song Tianrui." Shen Lan couldn't help but raise her voice, glared at Song Tianrui viciously, and said angrily: "That's your mother, why don't you touch the snails, but let me, a big-bellied woman, touch them?" Have you ever heard of brothers, friends, brothers? Your eldest brother is not at home, you don't say that you take care of me, a sister-in-law who is pregnant with Liujia, but let me, my sister-in-law, brave the rain to wipe snails for you, isn't it a bit too much? ”

"My mother won't let me go to the water's edge, I will be dragged down by the water ghost." Song Tianrui explained calmly.

What should I do, Shen Lan really wants to give this dead boy a big hairy chestnut to eat, I really want to shoot this stinky boy to death.

"I'm not afraid of water ghosts, am I?" Shen Lan asked sarcastically.

Song Tianrui glanced Shen Lan up and down, and said sullenly: "You are an adult, besides, you live in a haunted house, what kind of water ghosts are you afraid of." ”

Drag it out, hurry up and drag this bear child of someone else's family out, what does it mean for her to live in a haunted house, she is not afraid of water ghosts, she is indeed not afraid, but she is afraid of colds.

"It's not impossible for you to eat fried snails, anyway, snails are not a precious thing, there are in the canals, ponds, and fields, you touch it yourself and boil it with water, pick out the meat and fry it with green onions and leeks to eat, why bother me?" Shen Lan was completely angry with this child.

"No salt." Song Tianrui replied sullenly.

Shen Lan finally knew why this dead boy had to fry snails, daring to love is no salt, then Shen Lan remembered, salt is expensive in this era, and the dishes she sent to the Song Wang family yesterday were all saltless, no wonder the Song family would chase her for snail meat, and dare to love for a long time is waiting for her here.

Then the Song Wang clan must have known that when he opened his mouth and asked Shen Lan for salt, Shen Lan would definitely not agree, and it was definitely not difficult to ask Shen Lan to send a fresh dish with salt to their family every day, so he came up with such an idea.

"I don't have any salt at home." Shen Lan replied, in fact, there is no salt, she stir-fries directly with seawater, and the cold salad is added with seawater when blanching, after all, boiling salt is a big project, she is inconvenient now, so she can save it, so there is absolutely no salt at home.

Song Wenrui looked at Shen Lan with a lying expression.

"You lie, there is salt in the dishes you took to worship your ancestors yesterday, if you don't want to touch the snails, give me the salt." The child looked calm, completely unaware of how excessive his demands were.

Supporting her forehead, Shen Lan really felt that the Song family was urine, and her nominal husband who was far away at the border would not be a good person, and she really didn't want to pay attention to this broken child, so she waved a broom and continued to sweep the floor, as for the one outside the door, it was a ghost.

Song Wenrui saw that Shen Lan didn't say anything, and didn't make any moves, but went to sweep the floor, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, and said that his mother asked him to ask for it, how could the sister-in-law be completely inappropriate?

After struggling for a long time, Song Tianrui still left silently, anyway, he brought it, as for what the sister-in-law did, it didn't seem to have much to do with him.
