Chapter 28 Separation

After a long time, the house was divided, because the house of the seventh wife had been idle for a long time, although it looked like a house, but in fact, the things inside were almost rotten, except for the outer wall that seemed to be usable, the others could not be used at all.

Thanks to Shen Xiaoquan's husband and wife and son, and the Song patriarch also felt that Shen Lan had indeed suffered a loss, so he simply went out and called a few descendants to help repair the house first, and the roof tiles were also renovated, and the good tiles were picked up and re-laid, so that there was one more room without tiles, and Shen Xiaoquan had acquaintances in the village, so he borrowed straw from the man, and Shen Zhao took Shen Lan and Shen Hailing to clean up the house, and finally cleaned up the old year's spider webs, etc., and Shen Hailing also blocked a few mouse holes, I patrolled everywhere again, and caught a few snakes and threw them out, and the snakes that generally stayed at home were called watchdog snakes, and they could not be killed, so they should be released after they were caught.

Busy until dark, finally sorted out the two wings, a hall and the stove, the house of the seventh wife was built behind Song Ruhai's house, behind the house is a mountain forest, and it is also the back of the village, there is a small vegetable garden behind the house, but it is already barren, but it does not affect Shen Lan to plant some vegetables to eat in the future, behind the vegetable garden is the cliff of the mountain forest, but it is two or three meters high, there is still a certain danger to come down from that side, plus there is spotted thatch growing on the cliff, it is really not easy to come down, so although the back is a mountain forest, But the safety factor is still guaranteed.

The two ends of the vegetable garden are not enclosed by a bamboo fence, but planted with hibiscus, since the death of the seventh wife, this vegetable garden is also deserted, naturally no one takes care of it, so those hibiscus are old and luxuriant, originally planted intensively, now it is the branches connected to the branches, forming two green walls.

Although it is said that the house is on the edge of the village, it is not easy to attract thieves, the west side is a vegetable garden fenced with spotted thatch, it is impossible to come from the west, and there are many neighbors in the east, so they will not avoid it at all, and it is very close to one of the drinking water wells in the village, about twenty or thirty meters away, such an environment is still very suitable for Shen Lan.

Because Shen Lan split up on the first day and never got rice and grain, everyone went back after finishing their work very well, after all, Shen Lan didn't even have a pot, leaving only the three members of the Shen family and Shen Lan to stay in the new house.

Shen Lan's dowry is in addition to a large wardrobe for the two of them, as well as a solid wood bed, two bedding and some other small bits and pieces, under the supervision of the Song patriarch, the Song family sent these things over, and the bed and cabinets and other items were placed in the east wing, which will naturally be Shen Lan's bedroom in the future.

As the sky darkened and everyone left, Shen Lan's new house quieted down, leaving everyone in the Shen family who was tired and tired for a day, the Shen family was tired and hungry at this time, but unfortunately Shen Lan had neither food nor cooking tools here, although the stove of the seventh grandmother's house could still be used, but Shen Lan had no pot, so there was no way to cook.

Shen Xiaoquan and Shen Zhao, who knew the situation, didn't say anything, just silently packed up their tools, planning to be hungry for a night, and the next morning Father Shen went back to get some rice and grain, and prepared some household goods to come over, after all, you can't live without nothing, although there is a dilapidated lame small dining table and a few benches in the seventh wife's house, but there are no other things.

When the big guys were working before, Shen Lan borrowed earthen pots and firewood from the villagers to boil water, and the buckets were also borrowed, and these things couldn't be borrowed all the time, so Shen's father wanted to go home to see if he could take out the rest of the family, and he had to add some other things, otherwise he wouldn't be able to live this life.

Shen Lan saw that her parents had gone to clean up the room, so she quietly entered the space, and then quickly picked a basket of breadfruit, processed it in the space, and baked it again, and then brought it out in a basket, and then carried the basket into the house.

"Lan Niang, what are you carrying the basket for?" Shen Zhao saw his daughter who had just gone out, carrying a basket in his hand, and hurriedly asked.

"Sister, what's delicious in your basket? It smells so good. Shen Hailing, who had been tired for a day, smelled the fragrance of food, and immediately swept away his tiredness and looked excited.

Shen Lan smiled and didn't answer, but lifted the basket to the cage and said to Shen Xiaoquan: "Dad, this house hasn't been inhabited for a long time, there must be some moisture, it's better for us to build a fire in the room to remove the moisture, and it's not cold when we sleep at night." ”

Father Shen nodded when he heard this, and then walked out of the room.

Shen's mother saw that Shen's father was gone, and the busy doctor looked excited Shen Hailing: "You go and help your father, and when the fire is burning, you will eat." ”

Shen Hailing, who got the order, could only swallow his saliva reluctantly, and went out of the room to find Shen's father, and when he saw that his son was also gone, Shen's mother hurriedly pulled Shen Lan to her.

"Lan Niang, this is for food, right? Is it something you gave me to eat in the morning? ”

"Yes, it's too dry to eat this alone, and when Daddy burns the fire, we'll boil the kettle of water so that it won't be too dry." Shen Lan nodded, not denying it.

"Lan Niang, what are you? Where did it come from? "Actually, Shen Zhao has wanted to ask for a long time, but he hasn't been available before.

Shen Lan hesitated, then smiled mysteriously at Shen Zhao, opened her hand, and saw that there was nothing in her palm, but in the blink of an eye, there were more things in her hand that Shen Zhao had seen before, and Shen Zhao was so frightened that she almost sat on the ground.

"Lan ...... Mother, what's going on? Shen Zhao asked with some trembling.

"I don't know, it's just that I was hungry last night, and then I kept thinking that it would be nice if I had something to eat, but this thing appeared in my hand, and I was so hungry that I stuffed it into my mouth and ate it, and it tasted very good, so I gave it to my mother in the morning." Shen Lan pretended to have an expression that she didn't understand the situation at all and showed it to Shen Zhao.

"That'...... It's weird, isn't it, are you okay with eating? Shen Zhao's mouth was open enough to fit an egg, and he stammered after a long time before asking.

"Is there something wrong with my mother?" Shen Lan asked rhetorically.

Shen Zhao was stunned, she had no problem at all, and that thing was indeed very good at quenching hunger, if her daughter could really conjure up food out of thin air, it would be not bad, at least she didn't have to worry about her livelihood, so Shen Zhao was relieved.

As for what she doubted about Shen Lan's gods, it was not within her consideration at all, but she felt that Shen Lan had been favored by God, so she had received such a blessing, and then Shen Zhao was completely at ease.

After the mother and daughter finished talking, Shen's father also walked in with a pile of firewood, which was mainly some rotten wooden planks left over from repairing the house today, compared to ordinary firewood handles, these hardwood firewood are more burned, and they are more suitable for roasting the house.

Shen's father silently set up the firewood, and then lit a fire in the house, Shen Lan also went out to get an earthen pot to fill it with water, and Shen's mother went to fetch water to prepare for everyone to wash their hands.

The mother and daughter entered the house with water respectively, only to see that the father and son of the Shen family couldn't help but eat secretly, and when they saw them coming in, Shen Xiaoquan hurriedly spoke: "It's been so long to get water, and I'm almost starving to death, but Lan Niang's thing is quite delicious." ”

"I don't wash my hands before eating, I can't wait for a while, wash it quickly." Shen Zhao glared at the Shen family's father and son, and then urged the two to wash their hands quickly, Shen Lan smiled and put the earthen pot on the fire.

Shen Xiaoquan had to wash his hands, and Shen Hailing also followed, chewing the food in his mouth while asking, "Sister, what is this, why is it so delicious, it is better than the pastries that my father brought back from the county." ”

Before Shen Lan could reply, Shen Zhao spoke: "Child, where there are so many words, it's good to have something to eat, and if you talk more, you won't let your sister eat for you." ”

In fact, Shen Xiaoquan also wanted to ask, but he still heard the tone of the old wife, so he was smart not to ask, anyway, when the child was not around, the old wife would definitely make it clear to him.

"Okay, let's eat, we're tired from a day's work." Shen Lan didn't mention what this basket of things was, after all, Shen Hailing was still young, and there were some things that children couldn't know, so Shen Lan didn't say it, as for Shen Xiaoquan, it could be handed over to Shen Zhao's family to deal with.

"Then let's eat, Lan Niang's thing tastes good, but it's sweet and sour, and I don't know if I can be hungry." Shen Xiaoquan said that, he took a piece of breadfruit in his hand and started eating.

"If you like it, eat more, if it's not enough, I'll take it again." Shen Lan saw that Shen Xiaoquan and Shen Hailing were eating happily, so she smiled and spoke.

"Enough, I drink paste and porridge on weekdays, you are hungry, I ate a piece in the morning, but I have been full, where is I hungry and panicked when I go to the thatched house to relieve my little hands as usual, you don't waste the gift of God." Shen's mother hurriedly opened her mouth to explain, thinking in her heart, I don't know if God will suddenly take back this magical method of her daughter, won't she be hungry at that time.

Shen Lan smiled and didn't say anything, so a few people silently ate breadfruit around the fire and drank the hot water that had just been boiled, which was also warm. 、

After eating and drinking, it is natural to sleep, but Shen Lan only has one bed at home, and this bed is still a one-meter-five bed, which really can't sleep four people, and Shen Xiaoquan can't sleep in the same bed with Shen Lan, although they are father and daughter, but no matter what, they have to avoid suspicion, so Shen Xiaoquan definitely can't sleep on the bed, but he can't let Shen Xiaoquan sleep on the ground, after all, spring is still very cold, and sleeping on the ground will definitely be subject to wind cold.

Thanks to Shen Lan's bed with a pedal, it was discussed, Shen Xiaoquan slept on the pedal, which is also a room, but he didn't sleep on a bed, it was still acceptable, as for Shen Hailing, he naturally slept with his mother and sister, after all, he was not a man.
