Chapter 204: Untitled
After the late lunch, Shen Lan didn't have anything to do, so she simply accompanied her mother and son to sit on the patio to enjoy the coolness.
"Mother, why didn't you see Mei Niang and Xiaowei?" Shen Lan didn't see her two younger sisters as soon as she woke up, but her mother was at home, so she asked.
"The two sisters haven't been back for a long time, so they all went to the village to play with their sisters." Shen Zhao replied that since the two daughters went to the eldest daughter, they rarely came back, and naturally they had less contact with the sisters in the past, so they would think about going out to talk to their former friends or something at this time.
Shen Lan listened to Shen Mei and Shen Wei with a slight envy in her heart, Shen Lan herself is a person who has crossed over, naturally there are no sisters here, in the past, she could still say a few words to Song San's sister-in-law in Songjia Village, and later moved to Yuanjiaji and did not meet friends who could make friends, so it seems that there are really no friends who can play together.
"Oh, what about Hailing? Went to the fields in the afternoon? Shen Lan asked again.
"No, he went fishing, and the people brought by Yuan Er's family are enough, and your father, Changhai, and Shen Da are still helping in the fields, and a few little girls and Hailing have been driven back." Shen Zhao replied absentmindedly, "Did you invite Yuan Er's family here?" β
In fact, Shen Zhao wanted to ask this before, but when she came back from the field, Shen Lan was sleeping in the house, so she didn't have a chance to ask, and now that Shen Lan was sitting next to her, she naturally asked it.
Shen Lan shook her head and replied, "No, he also startled me when he brought people over in the morning." β
"Lan Niang, this Yuan Er is in charge of bringing someone to help us, do you think that your father and I are going to give him a red envelope?" Shen Zhao asked, in fact, he was also very strange about Yuan Hao's actions, although he was a godfather, but he didn't see any family's godfather like this.
"No, I'll do business in partnership with him, just give him some profits when the time comes, and our family has bought a lot of land, does Dad plan to grow it himself or rent it out?" Shen Lan gave Shen Xiaoquan a lot of money to buy land before, but now that the crops have been harvested, this land is also vacant, the original lease of the original family has expired, or the grain of the people who grow grain has also been collected, and this land will naturally become the Shen family, and there is always a saying whether to plant it yourself or rent it out.
"One or two hundred acres of land, where do I have that ability with your father, so I plan to rent some out and plant a little by myself, and now I and your father are also happy, sitting and waiting to collect the rent." Speaking of this, Shen Zhao unconsciously showed a smile, this time last year, he was still renting other people's land, but this year he has become a landlord, thanks to his own daughter, it seems that raising a good daughter does not have to be much worse than a son.
Shen Lan was also worried that Shen Xiaoquan would be confused and take care of everything, and if she wanted to plant all the land, then she would have a headache, and now that her mother said so, Shen Lan was also a lot relieved, and said with a smile: "So I can rest assured, if you plan to plant it yourself, I have to recruit two long-term workers for the family to help, or you and my father will not be exhausted to death." β
"You and my father are stupid, you can collect rent, and go to farm by yourself." Shen Zhao replied angrily.
"That's okay, do you want to get a maid to be a wife at home?" Shen Lan spoke half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Shen Zhao hurriedly shook his head, and said with a very disgusted face: "Don't let me get a room of people, when the time comes, if your father follows your father-in-law's example, he won't be angry with me, and when he is old, he will be punished by a little biaozi, this man is not a good thing." β
Although something like that happened to her daughter-in-law's family, Shen Zhao still felt very relieved, but as long as she thought of Song Ruhai running to a little daughter-in-law at such an age, she felt that she was very uncomfortable, even if she didn't want to see Song Wang's family again, but from the position of the same woman, Shen Zhao still had a trace of sympathy for Song Wang's situation, so Shen Zhao naturally disliked his subordinates, in case her old man couldn't stand the test, and when the time came to get her a concubine, she would not have to cry to death.
"Mother, how can it be so exaggerated." Shen Lan didn't care much and spoke, seeing that her father's honest appearance didn't look like a person who messed with flowers and grass.
Shen Zhao's expression was slightly gloomy after hearing this, her daughter was still too naΓ―ve after all, which cat is not fishy, how many of this man can control himself, even when she was young, her father-in-law did not make trouble, and now she is old and decrepit, where can she compare to those young women.
"Lan Niang, this man's heart is restless, that is, your father was not less confused when he was young, and now that you are older, my mother will not hide it from you, Wen Xiang has been away from home for many years, I am afraid that the heart is also going to grow out, if you have the opportunity, you should stay by his side." When he said this, Shen Zhao had a bit of a taste of coming over.
Shen Lan was a little frightened by Shen Zhao's words, how could she hear something terrible from her mother's mouth?
"Why don't you believe my mother's words? When your mother was pregnant with your eldest brother, your father was a widow at that time. Shen Zhao said with a smug expression.
"No, my dad can still do this? You were pregnant with my brother. In Shen Lan's consciousness, shouldn't a woman be more cared for when she is pregnant? Why do you treat your wife like this?
Shen Zhao snorted coldly, and then turned around and said to Shen Lan: "Now that you are also a person from the past, how inconvenient it is for us women to have bodies, you are Wen Xiang went out to be a soldier, naturally you don't feel it, if you are by your side, you will understand." β
Slowly understood Shen Zhao's words, Shen Lan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, her mother was telling her what was going on, suddenly Shen Lan was not very good, how to say that she had seen a lot in her original world, but it was all in private, her mother had never talked to her about such a private topic.
"Mother, the stone is still there." Shen Lan spoke a little helplessly, Shen Zhao looked at the stone when he heard this, and laughed out loud, "What does the stone know, you are the mother of the two children, what is there to be embarrassed about, in short, don't stuff any maid and wife to me, your father is not a decent gentleman, but that gentleman can't pass the level of women?" β
Shen Lan nodded, and the sage also said: Food and sex. It can be seen that this is the true character of a man, it seems that she really can't send a maid to her father and mother, or if there is any accident at that time, it will not be good, so Shen Lan will rest her mind.
"Got it, mother." Shen Lan looked like she was being taught, and Shen Zhao's family was slightly relieved, but thinking that the family is now rich, she also has some precautions against her father-in-law, after all, those seventy or eighty-year-old landlords have never had an example of begging for concubines, thinking of this, Shen Zhao couldn't help but be a little unwilling, and could only hope that his old man would not do foolish things.
The mother and daughter sat in the patio and chatted without talking, in the middle Xu took Xiangling to send water to the field, and then came back to prepare dinner, in the morning Xu bought enough vegetables, so there was no shortage of dishes in the evening, Shen Hailing also brought two grass carp weighing three or four catties when he came back, this is his achievement in the afternoon, so the evening meal is not bad.
At noon, because I wanted to go to the field, I didn't drink, and at night, I naturally didn't care about this, so Shen Lan generously took out the money to get a lot of wine and came back, and the Shen family's dinner opened two tables, one table was naturally the men in the field, and the other table was the women, children and children who did not go to the field, the men were very fierce because they wanted to drink, and the women ate quickly, and Shen Zhao took people to clean up and began to make room for people to sleep, after all, the work in the field was not done, Yuan Hao and the others naturally couldn't go back at this time, and they would come over early tomorrow morning, not to mention anything else, but there would be a lot of delay on the road.
In this way, Shen Lan is easy to say, the original room of three sisters is naturally revoked, except that Shen Lan is still one room, Shen Mei and Shen Wei sleep together, and the maids of the two of them also have a bunk in the house, and Shen Lan is here that she sleeps with the stone, Xu and Xiangling lay on the floor, and the extra room is given to Shen Hailing and Yuan Hao, and the three rooms in the east are divided among the people brought by Yuan Hao, and the rest of the people go to Shen Yunting's house, so they can barely live together.
Shen Yunting's work is also done by the people brought by Yuan Hao, so dinner Shen Yunting is also in Shen's family, in fact, from the beginning Shen Lan said that he wanted Shen Yunting to come over and partner, it is really not good to let him cook at home alone in this hot weather, so in addition to sleeping, in fact, Shen Yunting has been eating at Shen's house since the morning, if Shen Yunting had been unwilling in the past, but now that Shen Lan has gone home, it is Shen Lan who pays for the food, Shen Yunting compares with other accountants, but Shen Lan will not worry too much, Only then did they partner up in the Shen family.
After Shen Zhao sorted out the room, the people who ate and drank in the hall finally dispersed, and it was definitely not good to sleep immediately after eating, and it was not good to take a bath, so Shen Zhao took Xu's bamboo bed outside, and cut the watermelon that Shen Lan had frozen before, and beckoned Yuan Hao and others to go outside the courtyard to enjoy the cool, the patio at night was hotter than outside, but the evening breeze blew on the lawn outside the courtyard from time to time, which was very suitable for eating watermelon.
There are many natural mosquitoes, fortunately, at this time, the countryside is full of red artemisia, this thing is very effective for smoked mosquitoes, just pulled the red artemisia itself is damp, naturally it can not be burned, can only produce a lot of smoke, so Xu and Shen Zhao pulled a small half bundle and burned it on the lawn, so there are no mosquitoes.
After a tiring day, sitting outside at this time to enjoy the caress of the evening breeze and eat the sweet and cool watermelon is a special taste.
"Second master, I didn't expect you to do a good job in this farm work." Shen Xiaoquan took a piece of watermelon and handed it to Yuan Hao beside him, and said with a smile.
At this time, Yuan Hao was still a little drunk, he had just been poured several glasses, of course he was not drunk, but he was slightly dizzy, and when he saw Shen Xiaoquan handing over a piece of watermelon, he took it easily.
"Uncle Shen, don't be polite, call me Yuan Hao in the future, I also did some farm work with my brother when I was young, but I didn't expect to be unfamiliar." Yuan Hao smiled and spoke.
"Don't be too surprised that he didn't give me back the farmland last year." Shen Yunting on the side was calm, he didn't call Yuan Hao a lot last year.
"When the eldest brother said this, I also remember, it was really the second last year...... Oh, Yuan Hao ploughed the field for you, I didn't expect it, Yuan Hao still has this ability. Shen Xiaoquan immediately admired, this bandit in Yuan Hao's family, the kung fu in his hand is definitely not weak, and his daughter also said that Yuan Jiaji's card head was also written by Yuan Hao, so it is also able to write, and now he can still work in the field, Shen Xiaoquan naturally admired, if he said that he can go to the field, forget it, after all, he is a reckless man, but this Yuan Hao can still read, this is not simple, and I don't know which family will be cheaper in the future.
It was only as soon as he thought of this stubble that Shen Xiaoquan remembered Yuan Hao's profession, and suddenly he was a little embarrassed, just before he was tempted to tell him about his Mei Niang, but now he immediately stopped thinking about it, no matter how versatile others are, they can't escape the fact that they are bandits, so Shen Xiaoquan's heart is also light.
"Uncle Shen has won the award, how can I have such a great ability, I am still commanded by Shen Langzhong, otherwise how do I know how to plow the field." Yuan Hao replied absentmindedly, raised his hand to bite the watermelon, and looked towards the door of the Shen family unconsciously.
Maybe there are more foreign men, so except for Shen Zhao and Xu, several girls from the Shen family did not go out of the yard, but washed up early and went back to the house.
It seems that he hasn't seen the person he wants to see come out for a long time, Yuan Hao is somewhat disappointed, after nibbling on a piece of watermelon, he leaned his body into the back of the chair behind him, looked up at the stars in the sky, and showed a lonely smile, but he felt a little stuffed in his heart.
"Second master, let's go swim in the pond in front, how about it?" At this time, a brother's voice sounded in his ears, Yuan Hao didn't move, the man thought that Yuan Hao was unwilling to go, and then said: "Since the second master is not going, brothers, why don't we go, by the way, take a bath in the pond, and come back and sleep." β
"Okay, that's a good idea." Someone immediately chimed in.
"I'm afraid it's not proper, there's hot water boiling in the house, so let's take a bath with hot water." Shen Xiaoquan hurriedly said, people came to help, how could it be that they didn't even prepare a bath water.
"What kind of hot water do you use on such a hot day, and there are so many of us, the hot water alone will have to boil a lot, so we should go to the pond to wash it." Originally, these people were also bandits, so they didn't pay much attention to it, and most of them were alone, so they didn't accept Shen Xiaoquan's love at all.
"Uncle Shen, don't persuade them, let them go, it's more comfortable to take a cold shower at this time." At this time, Yuan Hao also stood up and said to Shen Xiaoquan with a smile, looking like he also wanted to go to the pond to take a bath. R1152
