"Dad, do you need me to help you?"

Shen Xixian did not ask the question in his heart, but asked with concern. ◎，

"No, no, it's so dirty in here...... I've been taking care of it for more than two months, and there are a lot of leftovers at the master's house, and I see that it's a waste to throw them away, so I opened this farm here. ”

Shen Mingjun was not very wary of his son, but after saying this, he still reminded him very seriously, "Don't tell your mother when you go back, she doesn't know about it." ”

Of course, Shen Xi knew that the Zhou family didn't know, otherwise the Zhou family wouldn't have to nag all day long.

Shen Xi watched Shen Mingjun simply clean up the yard, which could accommodate people to settle down, so that he would not have to guess and duck dung at every step, so he sat down and talked with Shen Mingjun.

"I didn't tell your mother, I felt sorry for her, and she hadn't had a good life since she got married. Now that I'm in the city, I'm going to let her run the house, and most of the money I earn from the pharmacy will be sent back to the countryside for your grandmother......"

Shen Mingjun looked like he blamed himself, but to put it bluntly, it was Zhou's ability that made him feel ashamed.

Zhou's entry into the city was originally attached to him, and he was used to support the family, and then Zhou went to the tailor shop to help, and with the help of Shen Xi, he found a yard to live in, and later became a second shopkeeper in the pharmacy. Due to the good business of the pharmacy, Zhou was able to get a lot of money every month, but he basically sent the money back to the countryside.

Shen Mingjun was eager to prove himself, so he started a side business outside.

This place is also the property of the Wang family, due to the remote location, the flow of people is complicated, it has long been abandoned, so Shen Mingjun went to the outskirts of the city to find some thatch and firewood, repaired the ruins and broken walls, and finally was able to shelter from the wind and rain, and then erected this fence and cleaned it up to breed.

On weekdays, Shen Mingjun came to take care of him in the morning and evening, and if he went out with Wang Yuan, he asked a friend who worked together to feed him, so the chickens, ducks and two pigs are still growing okay.

After listening to Shen Mingjun's narration, Shen Xi said with understanding: "Dad, in fact, what my mother wants is not how much money you can make, it should be a family together." But Dad, you were very busy in the Wang family, and now you have to get these again, you don't have time to go home, and you don't tell your mother, what will your mother think? ”

Shen Mingjun sighed: "It's not that I don't want to go back, your aunt is a widow, and your mother is now working with her for a living, if I often go in and out of the pharmacy, it will definitely be difficult for others to listen." In this way, some people in the neighborhood gossiped that I was a toad, and I wanted to marry Hui Niang as a concubine, and even the original Lu family's pharmacy had to swallow it in one bite...... Isn't that wronging me? ”

"Is it a toad that wants to eat swan meat?" Shen Xi thought for a while and asked.

Shen Mingjun blushed and lowered his head: "It's still Xiaolang, you are good at learning, that's what it means." ”

Shen Xi smiled bitterly, he just made his words clear, but he didn't mean to mock his father. But when he said this, Shen Mingjun felt even more that he was incapable and dragged people down.

"So Dad doesn't come home, just tinkering with this outside?"

Shen Mingjun sighed and said: "Once Master Wang inadvertently said that he wanted to sell his property in Ninghua County and go back to his ancestral hometown of Jiujiang, Jiangxi. Now I can still make some money in the Wang family, if the Wang family moves away, I will completely cut off my livelihood, and I can only prepare early. ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, this is really an honest, honest, and considerate father for his wife and children! It's a pity that he didn't use these advantages in the right place!

However, speaking of which, my father is also ambitious, and he doesn't want to let his mother support him after he has no job, causing gossip from others, so he simply takes precautions and starts a side business while the Wang family is not leaving.

It's just that he didn't think that the site of this farm originally belonged to the Wang family, even if it was deserted, the land was valuable, wasn't it? In addition, the feed for the poultry is all dependent on the leftovers and water of the Wang family, and the Wang family has moved away, where will he find something to fill the stomach of these small things? Could it be that the cost of using money to buy rice and grain to feed is too high!

In the end, the scale of the farm is so small that it is very difficult to make money.

Wang Lingzhi listened to the side for a while, and said, "Uncle Shen, I didn't hear my father say that he wanted to return to his ancestral hometown." ”

Shen Xi scolded and scolded: "What's the matter with you, or what your father occasionally said on a whim, but my father took it seriously." ”

Shen Mingjun hurriedly pulled Shen Xi and blamed: "Xiaolang, how can you talk to the young master like this?" ”

Wang Lingzhi grinned: "Uncle, don't worry, Xiaolang and I are good brothers, he said that I have nothing, it's just that it's dark, let's ...... Can you leave sooner? ”

Shen Xi looked at the sky: "Dad, I won't tell my mother about this, but you have to go back with me today, and when I get back, I will give my father a staff officer and a different livelihood...... Not to mention the money earned through hard work in raising these things, once the plague breaks out, you will lose all your money. ”

Shen Mingjun smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "Xiaolang, you know a lot, some chickens did get sick and died some time ago, I wanted to find a Lang Zhong to take a look, but I heard that it was a beast that was sick, and no one was willing." ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, there are very few doctors who even treat people these days, let alone veterinarians.

In this era, even if there are veterinarians, they are only prepared for large animals such as horses, cattle and mules, and these chickens and ducks are already abundant and reproduce quickly. Sooner or later, you will starve to death if you do this.

Shen Xi didn't explain, he insisted that Shen Mingjun go home.

Shen Mingjun was actually very happy to see his son, in the past, this secret was only guarded by him alone, but now that Shen Xi knows it, it is equivalent to someone sharing it with him, and the pressure is invisibly reduced a lot.

Waiting for Shen Mingjun to make do with the rotten vegetable leaves with the water sent in the morning, he fed the pigs, and then cleaned up the and duck manure in the yard, and finally finished today's business. However, he still insisted on sending Wang Lingzhi home first, and it was not until after dark that the father and son appeared at the door.

Zhou was a little anxious when he didn't see Shen Xi when he got home, and was looking for it at both sides of the pharmacy and the house, but when he saw his father and son coming back at the same time, he picked up a broom and stepped forward to beat Shen Xi: "Stinky boy, where did you die?" ”

Shen Xi hurriedly hid behind Shen Mingjun: "I went to Wang's house to visit my father, and then came back with my father." ”

Zhou looked at Shen Mingjun with questioning eyes.

Shen Mingjun is not very good at lying on weekdays, but at this time, the father and son were on the same front, so they could only nod: "Yes, that's the case, I asked him to wait for me to get off work, no wonder he is in this matter." ”

When Zhou saw her husband come back, she lost the heart to find out whether Shen Xi had been to Wang's house. Back at home, Zhou's Meizizi cooked the meal, and Shen Xi ate a little slowly, so she urged repeatedly.

"Han baby, eat quickly, sleep well when you are full, go to bed early and get up early, and you can grow taller."

Shen Xi glanced up at Zhou with the bowl, and from the bright smile on Zhou's face, she could see the impact of Shen Mingjun's return on her. On weekdays, I am busy in the pharmacy, and I hope to go home at night with my husband, even if I don't want to have a bed of love, it is best to have a husband and wife night talk, and there is a discussion about everything.

Shen Xi brought Shen Mingjun back to comfort Zhou's loneliness, and at this time he didn't want to be a light bulb. He took two bites of rice, then put down his chopsticks and signaled that he was full.

After a simple freshening up with Lin Dai, I have to go back to the room to sleep, this season is not as good as summer, and it also costs money to boil water with firewood, so I can't take a bath every day.

When she arrived in the room, Lin Dai looked at the main room with some puzzlement, tilted her head, and asked a little strangely: "Why does my mother look different today than usual?" ”

"Because Daddy is back. When Dad is here, she's happy. Shen Xi spread out the quilt and got inside first.

The rules that have been formed, whoever goes to the bed first and who sleeps inside, almost every day Lin Dai will fight with him, and today Lin Dai will be preempted by him if he is a little absent-minded.

Lin Dai was still a little puzzled: "Why is my father happy when he comes back?" ”

This problem is not easy to explain, although the girl is sensible early, but that is only after the beginning of the twelfth or thirteenth year, Lin Dai is now just a ten-year-old Lori, but she still reads and writes with Shen Xi, and her wisdom is opened, and her curiosity is great.

Shen Xi said angrily: "Don't you miss your mother in your heart?" Are you happy to see your mother? ”

Lin Dai thought about it, nodded first, then looked slightly annoyed on her face, grabbed the pillow and threw it on Shen Xi: "Get up, I'll sleep in it today." ”

Shen Xicai didn't reason with her, this is the "war" between the two on the bed, whoever is in it is the winner, anyway, it is a child who is making trouble.

Lin Dai likes to fight, Shen Xi naturally will not be deliberately humble, and Lin Dai will not always beg him to tell stories, and even fight until Lin Dai sleeps more soundly at night, and even the frequency of calling her father and mother is much lower.

Waiting for Lin Dai to fall asleep angrily, Shen Xi lay there thinking about things.

Shen Mingjun is running a side business outside, which is a good thing, but Zhou will definitely not agree to this.

Obviously, the Zhou family needs her husband to accompany them, and those livestock can't be kept at home, otherwise the neighborhood will have opinions.

"It's not a way to go on like this."

Shen Xi muttered a little worried, he was wondering if he could find a job so that Shen Mingjun could also be a shopkeeper or something, even if he couldn't be rich and expensive, he could be regarded as a man with a successful career.

It's easy to think, but it's hard to put it into practice.

Zhou's ability to gain a foothold in Huiniang's pharmacy itself has a lot of coincidences, if it weren't for the death of Huiniang's husband, he would have to come out to run the family business, if someone didn't fight for his property and he came forward to help, or if it wasn't for the plague...... It was this series of accidental events that gave Hui Niang a kind of reliance on the Shen family.

Thinking of other shops to buy shares, even if you have money, you can't do it, let alone empty words.
