Shen hurriedly dodged to the side, refusing to accept the big gift from the little uncle, she couldn't stand the gift of the old man Xiucai, "What is the fifth brother doing, hurry up, mother is mother, you are you, sister-in-law is not an unreasonable person." ”

Since her husband has never returned, the brother-in-law has helped to subsidize in private, which is also the reason why the Shen family has repeatedly tolerated her mother-in-law.

"Sister-in-law is virtuous and generous, it is the blessing of the Jin family for the eldest brother to marry you," Jin Xi straightened up according to Shen's words, took out five taels of silver from his sleeve pocket and put it on the wooden table, "This is the silver I earned by helping people settle accounts in the city, although it is not much, but please accept it." ”

The Shen family resolutely refused to accept it, the family's money was hidden in a safe place by the eldest daughter, and the ones that the mother-in-law snatched were only a small amount, and she didn't really hold a grudge, but in the end it was a little difficult to settle.

"Sister-in-law must accept it, you raise three children alone, you have to use money everywhere, plus the world is becoming more and more unpeaceful, in the future, maybe we will have to drag our families and leave our hometowns, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think more about your three children. These silver mothers don't know, I came over tonight to find another excuse, although the silver sister-in-law accepted it with peace of mind, Jin Xi went home. ”

When Shen came back to his senses, the little uncle had already strode out of the house, and when he saw this, he hurriedly went back to the bedroom and took something to chase him out, "Little uncle, wait a minute." ”

"Is there something wrong with Le'er?" Hearing the movement, Jin Xi stopped and looked back at her niece who was chasing, the blue and black birthmark on the girl's face under the moonlight seemed to be covered with a light veil, not as terrifying as it looked during the day.

Yingle handed over a few medicine bottles in his hand, and said crisply: "Little uncle, this is a pill developed by the master, there are those that treat wind and cold, as well as those that refresh the mind, and then there are those that enhance physical fitness, if you want to go to the scientific examination, you can bring them just in case, after all, the number room used for the exam is not as comfortable as at home, once there is a headache and brain fever, it will directly affect the results." ”

"Le'er has a heart, everyone knows the medical skills of Master Sun of Renji Pharmacy, and he can get the pills made by the medicine elder himself, and his uncle is blessed by Le Yatou. It's cold at night, go back to sleep early, come to your uncle if you can't solve anything, don't worry about grandma, there's an uncle for everything, and I'll take good care of you for him before my eldest brother comes back. ”

The man's tall and handsome figure disappeared behind the bamboo forest, and the emotion in Yingle's heart had not completely faded, she knew that the little uncle was good to them, otherwise she would not have deliberately taken the pills produced in the portable medicine box out and gave them away. If Jin Xi can pass the examination, the Jin family's status in the village will become more and more stable, and their big house can also be sheltered, at least no one in this village dares to bully the beautiful mother casually.

Ordering Uncle Kui to lock the courtyard door, Yingle turned around and went to the kitchen, carrying a wooden barrel containing mussel shells and striding into the hall, "Sister, what are you doing with them?" Bao Tai threw himself into Yingle's arms on his short legs, his lips full of pastry crumbs.

"Do you want to watch a trick, my sister can conjure beautiful pearls." Facing Shen's puzzled gaze, and his sister's hopeful eyes, Yingle directly fished out a small mussel shell from the barrel and broke it, the white pearl the size of a soybean shone with a round luster under the candlelight, hehe, it's really a good baby, it's the first pearl to bloom.

Shen's eyes suddenly brightened, he reached out and took the mussel shell in his daughter's hand, picked out a few pearls inside, put them in the palm of his hand and looked at them over and over again, and finally put them in his mouth and bit them, "It's a pearl, a real pearl, it's the first time my mother has touched a pearl at this age, Le'er, where do these things come from?" ”

"If my mother wants to know, when the time is right, my daughter will take you there to see, but the mountain road is very long, and it is not easy to walk, you have to be mentally prepared." As Ying Le spoke, he opened the rest of the clam shells, except for some small ones that did not have pearls, and the rest of the clam shells were more or less pearls.

The most surprising thing is the two big mussel shells, one has black pearls inside, and the other has pink pearls inside, "Sister, these beads are so beautiful, can I go pearl picking with you in the future?" ”

The little girl touched the pink round beads in her hand and was reluctant to let go, her mother said that these pearls can be sold for a lot of silver, and the family will no longer worry about no silver, and her mother also said that her sister can not let outsiders know about the pearls she brought back, especially grandma, but Yingxiao is the happiest thing is that her mother said that pearls can be made into earrings and phoenix hairpins, and girls will be more beautiful when they wear them.

The black pearls are dazzling, the pink pearls are crystal round, and each of the two pearls is the size of a pigeon's egg, and the brilliance of each other is intoxicating in the candlelight.

"Le'er, Xiao'er, Tai'er, you remember that there are pearls in the house and you can't let anyone know, and you must not mention this matter to outsiders when you leave this room."

Shen stressed sternly to the children again for the Nth time, from the first pearl to the present, she has said this countless times, but Yingle did not stop it, good things should be shared with her family, success, joy, excitement, anger, frustration, grievances are borne by someone together, it feels very good, she doesn't want to hide everything from her family, so it is very important to teach her younger brothers and sisters to keep secrets.

Baotai made a naughty tightening action with his fingers on his lips, and said seriously with a small face in Shen's arms: "Mother, Baotai doesn't say anything, good things, our family's, can't be snatched away by grandma." ”

"Mother's heart and liver, so smart." Shen took her son into her arms, and kissed Baotai's forehead, with these superb pearls, she could be considered to have put down half of the big stone in her heart.

The little uncle said before that the world is not peaceful, if it is really chaotic, she also has the silver to take her children to Beijing to find her husband, and Shen is confident and sure of her husband's ability.

As for the daughter's previous words that her husband married another bride in Kyoto in order to be angry with her mother-in-law, she only thought that Yingle was to protect this family from being hollowed out by her grandmother, and casually talked nonsense about Zhao's family.

"Mother, can Xiao'er leave a pearl in her pocket and play with herself?" Yingxiao grabbed those pink pearls and couldn't put them down, but it was a pity that such a beautiful thing couldn't be taken out openly.

"No way!" Shen Shi refused directly without thinking about it, what are you kidding, such a treasure is not something that ordinary people can have at all, if the little uncle really wins the exam in the future, maybe the family can try to take a few small ones and sell them for money, but now they must not leak it.

Seeing his sister's disappointed and pitiful eyes, Yingle didn't speak, Shen's concerns were not unreasonable, these deep-sea pearls were found by rhubarb, and they were too precious and rare. Keeping such a superb pearl in their hands is like a child holding a cornucopia in his hand, and everyone will have a heart of competition when they see it.
