Chapter 009: The Shen Family
A small potato is not enough for Shen Aiguo, a kid who is in the stage of growing his body, after eating the potato, he licked his dry lips, and his eyes fell on the remaining potatoes.
However, Shen Mofei didn't mean to give him another one, but tied the burlap bag around his waist and grinned, "Why did you run out at this time?" Look you're hungry like this, you haven't eaten at home? ”
Shen Aiguo stood up in disappointment after seeing that she didn't mean to give herself potatoes anymore, patted the soil on her body, and then said in a hoarse voice, "The news that you were kicked out of the Qi family is already known to your father, so she asked us to come out to find you, and let us tell you that although that old lame man has a bad temper, but if you want to marry someone and give birth to a son, people will definitely treat you as an ancestor, and no matter how bad it is, our brothers and sisters will help you back, and you will never be wronged." ”
Shen Mofei listened interestingly, looked at him and said, "Then do you think I should marry?" ”
Shen Aiguo paused, looked at her deeply, and shook his head.
"Strange, shouldn't you be happy when I get married? At least there can be more than a dozen catties of food at home, and it can also reduce one person's rations. Shen Mofei crossed his fingers and counted with her the benefits of marrying the old lame man, and was extremely interested in Shen Aiguo's opposition.
"That can also coax those fools, didn't Shen Xiaoling say the same when she got married? As a result, if you look at the days she is living now, it is better to grab food with our brothers and sisters at home! ”
The Shen Xiaoling he said is the eldest girl among the eight children, the eldest sister of everyone, she is twenty-five years old, and she has been married for seven or eight years, and she is married to an ordinary family on the side of the three teams.
When a national disaster occurred three years ago, the family refused to give Shen Xiaoling some food in their hands, if it weren't for the fact that this girl was still smart and knew that she would go back to her parents' house to fight the autumn breeze, I was afraid that she would become the first person in Lihuagou to starve to death.
Although Shen Aiguo and they didn't want to come back from the house to grab rations alone, after all, they all came out of one belly, even if they were left with these brothers and sisters who had not yet started a family full of complaints, but in fact, they did not embarrass Shen Xiaoling.
Shen Mofei was very interested in the ideas of the Shen family.
In her opinion, Shen Aiguo's parents are also very interesting, they have given birth to so many children, and they have never taught their brothers and sisters to love each other, although they may prefer boys, but as long as the female dolls can snatch food from their brothers, they will never reprimand, so the temper of the Shen family brothers and sisters is not good, and they are very protective of food, and none of them are soft buns.
However, no matter how ferocious they are, as long as outsiders bully any of them, they will be retaliated against by others.
At the beginning, Shen Xiaoling was almost starved to death by deducting rations at her mother-in-law's house, but when she came back, she had a meal at her mother's house, and the remaining brothers and sisters of the Shen family went directly to her mother-in-law's house to make a big fuss, and bluntly said that if they didn't give Shen Xiaoling food, their brothers and sisters would have to sit directly at her mother-in-law's house to eat.
Shen Mofei recalled Shen Xiaocui's memories of that part, and he was amused.
Shen Aiguo frowned, didn't know why she was sitting on the ground and smirked, coughed lightly, "You can't go back to the Qi family now, then go home, as long as you really don't want to marry that old lame, your father and mother won't force you." ”
Shen Mofei touched his chin and thought for a while, "Cheng, then I'll go back." ”
As she spoke, she stood up, extinguished the fire in front of her, patted the burlap bag hanging from her waist, and grinned, "Go back at this time, just in time for dinner, right?" ”
Shen Aiguo snorted lightly and didn't speak, but his eyes were still staring at the burlap bag around her waist, obviously still coveting the potatoes inside.
……
The Shen family is also an ordinary family in the Lihuagou Brigade, living not far from the Qi family, the old husband and wife of the Shen family fled with the wasteland back then, and they are regarded as foreign surnames here, so they have always been excluded by the locals.
However, the old couple of the Shen family can really give birth, plus Shen Aiguo and their father, they have six sons and three daughters.
One of the three daughters married to the town of Chujia, one married to the county seat, and one of the dead husbands is now on her parents' side and lives alone with her two sons.
And the six sons, except for the first two, became a family before fleeing the famine, and the last four also married daughters-in-law near Lihuagou by their own ability.
In Shen Xiaocui's generation, there are nearly thirty cousins alone, not to mention a dozen cousins.
Therefore, although the Shen family is an outsider in Lihuagou, there are really few families who dare to blatantly quarrel with the Shen family.
After all, it is true that there are many men in the Shen family, even in this year when everyone can't eat enough, the men of the Shen family are all very tall, and they are a head taller than the local men.
The six brothers of the Shen family split up after they got married, but the houses are still built together, so the relationship between them and not looking up is considered close.
The old man of the Shen family died of illness at the beginning of the natural disaster three years ago, and now the old lady of the Shen family is left to live alone in the old house, and the monthly rations are also a little from each family of the six brothers every month, and they are not hungry to death, but they are definitely not full.
Shen Xiaocui's parents are ranked fifth, and they all call him Shen Lao Wu, although his face is old, but his appearance is very thoughtful, coupled with a lot of strength, he almost didn't let the matchmaker step on the threshold of the family when he just said his kiss.
Her family's house is also built tall and big, unlike the local people's beds, the Shen family has built a large earthen kang, and their respective houses are also quite large.
"Yo, our family's capable people are back!"
As soon as Shen Mofei walked to the door of Shen's house, he saw a middle-aged woman with crow's feet at the corners of her eyes stacked together, stepping on a pair of straw sandals and running over, screaming in a weird way.
This woman is the 'mother' Wang Zhaodi of this body.
The person who proposed to marry Shen Xiaocui to the old lame man was her.
Shen Mofei didn't mean to call people at all, just glanced at her lightly and went directly into the house.
Wang Zhaodi was treated so coldly, her chest hurt angrily, and she scolded angrily, "Something that has no ability, aren't you able to bear to be a daughter-in-law for the old Qi family?" What's wrong with you running back now? If you have the ability, don't come back! Look at your virtue, the old Qi family is really blind to look at you with such a conscience! ”
