Chapter 115: Eating together
Yuan Hao looked at the dishes on the Shen family's table and was stunned, at this time, almost everyone was affected by the locust plague, it would not be strange if there were vegetables when the disaster was just affected, but it had been several days, even if the vegetables were almost finished, at most there were some vegetables such as pumpkins and winter melons that were easy to store, where would there be water spinach and cowpeas, but there were on the Shen family's table, this thing was too strange.
In addition to Yuan Hao noticing this matter, Shen Yunting also paid attention to it, he saw the Shen family's dishes, his eyes also flashed, but he was old and refined, Shen Yunting didn't ask a word, but sat down to greet Yuan Hao for dinner, and apologized to Shen Xiaoquan, most of the people in Linchun Village owe Shen Yunting favors, even if people want to invite him to dinner, he may not necessarily sell face, this time he asked to come over to partner, Shen Xiaoquan naturally had nothing to say, but said that he would not accept his rice grain.
As for Yuan Hao, although he didn't invite Shen Xiaoquan to see him, he couldn't stand that Shen Yunting brought it over, and he was his nephew's godmother anyway, so even if he felt uncomfortable, Shen Xiaoquan didn't say much, and directly invited people to sit down and eat.
Seeing that there were two more men, Shen Lan had to cook another pot of rice, so when the others were eating, Shen Lan was busy in the stove sadly, and when she finished the rice and added rice to others, when she was about to eat, there were only empty plates and vegetable soup left on the table, and in the end she could only pour some vegetable soup and mix it in the bowl for a meal.
Because there was still work in the afternoon, the big "family went to the field after eating, and Shen Lan didn't go with him because she couldn't leave the child. Instead, she cleaned up the house with Shen Wei, and let Shen Wei go to the Shen family's vegetable garden with the stones that woke up, Shen Lan planned to clean up the vegetable garden, and then plant some water spinach and green vegetables in it, as long as the water spinach has a stem, there are already a lot of Shen Lan's space, and when she picks it out at noon, she cuts some more old stems and leaves, so that it can be planted in the vegetable garden.
The greens are eaten here by leaving the stems and leaves, not the whole tree being uprooted and eaten. However, Shen Lan felt that it was time to plant vegetables. It will take at least half a month to be able to skim vegetables and eat them, so she still wants to sprinkle rapeseed and eat chicken hair vegetables directly according to the situation in her previous life, so that the Shen family can eat delicious vegetables quickly.
Shen Lan took a hoe and dug up the rhizomes left behind after the geography was ravaged by locusts. Then dig the vegetable patch carefully. First, sprinkle rapeseed on the area where the chicken hair is to be planted. When the sun was a little westerly, she planted water spinach in the ground, and after getting these, Shen Lan picked a bucket to fetch water to water the vegetable garden. Thanks to the Shen family's vegetable garden, there is a pond not far away, although it is dry, but the pond has not dried up, but the water level has moved a lot, but it does not prevent the water from being carried to water the vegetables.
In fact, if it weren't for Shen Wei's presence and the Shen family's vegetable garden was not blocked, Shen Lan could have released water from the space to water the vegetables, but unfortunately at this time, Shen Wei was playing on the edge of the vegetable garden holding the stones, and the Shen family's vegetable garden was not covered by spotted thatch, and she was completely exposed to the sight of others, so she couldn't make small movements.
After doing the farm work, the sun also went down, Shen Lan packed up the hoe, the flat shoulder and the bucket and went back, in order to hurry up at this time, the people of the Shen family had not come back at this time, so Shen Lan hurriedly washed her hands and began to prepare dinner, the meat at noon had been eaten, and Shen Lan couldn't spare time to let Shen Wei buy meat, so naturally there was no meat to eat at night, but Shen Lan still prepared shrimp and fish fillets, and just steamed the rice, the people of the Shen family came back.
"I'm starving, is my eldest sister cooking?" Shen Lian shouted before she entered the house.
"Third sister, not yet, the eldest sister just came back to get food." Shen Wei sat on the threshold and played with the stones, and when she saw that her third sister hadn't entered the house yet, she shouted and hurriedly explained.
"Xiaowei, this is not right, we are tired to death in the field, and the eldest sister is still procrastinating when cooking in the house, or I will replace the eldest sister." Shen Lian said in a suffrage voice.
However, her words obviously affected the Shen couple who came back later, only to hear Shen Xiaoquan also ask, "What did your eldest sister do?" Why did you just come back? ”
"The eldest sister went to tidy up the vegetable patch in the afternoon, and she raised a lot of green vegetables, and said that she could eat the vegetable seedlings when they sprouted in a few days." Shen Wei replied softly, and Shen Xiaoquan was silent when he heard it.
"Third sister, do you still want to change with the eldest sister?" Shen Mei was a little overwhelmed, and couldn't help but stab.
Shen Lian suddenly lost her voice, her cooking was not as delicious as the eldest sister, and besides, she didn't have the money to subsidize her father, let alone be able to conjure fresh vegetables like the eldest sister, it seems that she should honestly go to the ground with her father.
Soon Shen Lan's food was on the table, and Shen Xiaoquan asked Shen Wei to go to Shen Yunting's house to call someone to eat, after all, he promised to let people in, and he couldn't be that trustless person, so Shen Yunting and Yuan Hao appeared at the Shen family's dinner table again, Yuan Hao was dressed in a short beat, and he should be wearing Shen Renjie's clothes, which felt a little uncomfortable, but it was convenient to do farm work.
Although the dinner in the evening was not as rich as noon, but it was not bad, everyone was very satisfied, after dinner, Shen Zhao instructed Shen Lian to wash the dishes and clean up, Shen Lan took out the watermelon that had been soaked for a day, Shen Xiaoquan moved the bamboo bed outside, and left Shen Yunting and Yuan Hao to stay together to eat melons, so that they could eat cool watermelons in hot weather, it was also a kind of enjoyment, Shen Yunting did not refuse, and Yuan Hao would not.
So bamboo beds, small tables and stools were placed outside the Shen family's house, and a large group of people gathered outside to enjoy the shade.
"Brother Xiaoquan, take advantage of the cold?" The fifth uncle's family next door happened to be eating out, shaking a pu fan in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and when they saw the battle of Shen Xiao's family, they asked with a smile.
"yes, I'll come over and eat melons later." Shen Xiaoquan is not a stingy person, and besides, the neighborhood relationship is not bad on weekdays, so he greeted.
"Brother Xiaoquan, where did you get the melon at this time?" The fifth uncle couldn't help but be a little strange, if he hadn't gone through the locust plague, it would not be unusual to have watermelons now, but the problem was that the locust plague had just passed, and this melon had not been released.
Shen Xiaoquan choked suddenly, this watermelon was taken out by his daughter, he knew his daughter's ability, but outsiders didn't know it.
"Jianyun, this melon came a little bit yesterday from Second Master Yuan, didn't I partner with the whole family, so I took the watermelon and ate it." Shen Yunting said with a smile, Yuan Hao on the side was very inexplicable, where is the watermelon in his house, even if there is this time, he will not take advantage of this old man, and he will honor his eldest brother early.
"Brother Yunting is also here, this is Second Master Yuan." Fifth Uncle Shen Jianyun has some understanding of things on the road because of his darts, and he is not as unfamiliar with Yuan Hao as others, so he can see Yuan Hao's identity at a glance.
Yuan Hao clenched his fist at him and replied, "Fortunately." ”
Shen Jianyun returned the salute, and Shen Xiaoquan was relieved of the siege, so he began to cut the watermelon silently, thinking about whether to tell his daughter to take less eye-catching things in the future, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to others.
After cutting the melon, Shen Xiaoquan asked his little daughter to bring three pieces to Shen Jianyun's family, because Shen Jianyun's son did not come back in the school, so there were three people in the family, and the fifth aunt took the watermelon, and she was grateful to Shen Xiaoquan.
Eating watermelon in the cool breeze, I felt very comfortable, but Shen Lan didn't come out, but went into the house to boil water, ready to take a bath for herself and her son, Shen Lan changed the clothes borrowed from Heihu Village in the morning and washed them, and now they have been folded neatly, so she plans to let Yuan Hao take them back, after all, she also brought a change of clothes when she returned to her parents' house.
"The moon is bright, and the Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days, and I don't know if Renjie will come back." Eating watermelon and taking advantage of the cold, I couldn't help but start chattering.
"I will definitely come back, Renjie's kid is very family-oriented, if you can't come back, you will come to my house for the holiday." Shen Xiaoquan continued.
"You are also blessed, you have all the children, how can you be like me Renjie." Shen Yunting sighed and said.
"Big brother, where are you, my family Haifeng is also no news, and I don't know what is going on here." Speaking of this, Shen Xiaoquan couldn't help but redden, his eldest son was drawn from military service, and so was his son-in-law, he didn't dare to think about it in his heart, even if he received bad news one day.
Suddenly, the two of them were relatively speechless, but Yuan Hao was very lenient and refused to stop gnawing on the watermelon.
"Brother Yuan, is it delicious?" Shen Lian asked with a smile, but Yuan Hao didn't care, so he nodded.
"Well, mine is for you too." Shen Lian handed over a piece of watermelon that had not been eaten, but Yuan Hao didn't answer it, but his eyes darkened.
"Third sister, if you don't like to eat, just give it to me, if you are still idle and panic, go into the house and boil water for your father." Shen Mei glared at Shen Lian.
"Your second sister is right, hurry up and go into the house." Shen Zhao was also angry, and immediately shouted at Shen Lian, Shen Lian suddenly felt a little aggrieved, but she didn't dare to say anything, she entered the house in a hurry, Yuan Hao was a little embarrassed, to say that this Shen family will also raise a daughter, one is more than a water spirit, although he has a cheap mouth, but who can provoke and who can't be messed with still knows, besides, now the two families are also relatives, if he attacks the Shen family, Shen Lan will not be able to split himself, he is not afraid of Shen Lan, but he has palpitations.
Not long after Shen Lian entered the house, Shen Mei also followed: "Dad, I'll help the eldest sister bathe the stone, and when the water is boiled in a while, I'll call you and my mother." ”
"Hmm." Shen Xiaoquan answered, and Shen Mei entered the house.
Immediately, there were only Shen couples, Shen Yunting and Yuan Hao left outside the house, and Shen Wei went to play with Shen Ling next door, Shen Xiaoquan and Shen Yunting still chatted without a word, only Yuan Hao was a little bored. (To be continued......)
