Chapter 35, a year older

Although Shen's father and Shen's mother are not in a hurry, they are not like other in-laws who are urging the little couple, but seeing that the women who married at the same time as him have bodies, Liu Bicao is secretly anxious, worried about whether there is something wrong with her body.

On this day, counting the day when Liu Boan was going home, Liu Bicao took Shen Jinqian to make an ox cart and went to the town early, ready to find Dr. Wang to feel his pulse.

"Don't worry, there won't be a problem, didn't my mother also say that she and her father have been married for three years before me?" Shen Jinqian hugged Liu Bicao with a sad face.

If you don't go to the town, Liu Bicao can't feel at ease in the town, so she simply goes with her. Just looking at her sad appearance, Shen Jinqian felt uncomfortable.

When the two arrived in town, they went directly to the pharmacy and troubled Dr. Wang to feel the pulse. Liu Bicao's subconscious breathing was light, for fear of disturbing Dr. Wang.

Doctor Wang looked at her nervous look, and was a little funny: "Okay, your body is fine, the matter of the child is fate, and fate will naturally come when it comes." You are a doctor yourself, do you have any physical problems that you don't know? ”

Liu Bicao knew that she was care, and she smiled a little embarrassedly. Shen Jinqian held her hand: "Don't worry about it now, don't think nonsense." He turned his head and thanked Dr. Wang.

The two then turned around and went to West Street. There wasn't much salt left in the kitchen at home, so I took it back with me.

The three of them went to the grocery store to buy a pound of salt, and then went to the dim sum shop next door to buy a pound or two of snacks, and finally went to the meat stall to buy two pig hind feet.

"I think our family should also buy cattle, whether it's working in the field or coming to the town, it's much more convenient." Liu Bicao got on the ox cart back to the village, and discussed with Shen Jinqian while the ox cart was still waiting for the people back to the village.

Shen Jinqian also felt yes, and nodded: "I think it's okay, come to the town and ask when I'm free." ”

"Let's let Daddy come, Daddy is much more experienced than us." Liu Bicao leaned comfortably in his arms and talked to him carefully.

Knowing that the body was fine, the whole person relaxed, and it was the same as usual. Shen Jinqian also saw that she was no longer worried, and he was no longer worried about her.

When they arrived at the village, the three of them got down at the fork in the road, and passed by the pond on the way home.

"Yo, what a happy day, so rich." Before I got home, I ran into Xiuling, half joking and half sour.

The two families are close, and seeing that the Shen family's life is getting better and better, the fragrance wafts into their yard every day.

I saw that the Shen family treated Liu Bicao as a treasure, and the family protected her up and down. Especially Shen Jinqian usually has no smile on anyone, but he is obedient to Liu Bicao, and the tenderness and doting in his eyes are overflowing.

The more Xiuling thought about it, the more she compared herself to her, and felt that her life was simply not comparable to her, so she was naturally jealous of her.

Liu Bicao also knows Xiuling's thoughts, but every family has its own way of living, and everyone has their own way of living. It's not like your own days came without doing anything.

"Where is there something abundant, it's just that Jinxin and Boan celebrate their birthdays, and my father and they work in the fields every day, taking this opportunity to have a good meal at home."

After saying that, no matter what she thought, she went home.

Coincidentally, although Shen Jinxin and Liu Boan are two years apart, this birthday is only two days apart. It just so happened that Liu Boan went home, and as soon as he summed it up, he simply put the birthdays of the two on one day, which was lively and lively.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, Brother An." Shen Jinyan was finishing watering the flowers and trees in the yard. This is also what Liu Bicao said, you can't die studying, you have to work more to have a strong body.

Therefore, Shen Jinyan will also help the family with housework after reading, and occasionally follow Shen's father and them to do some light work.

"Have you drunk the mung bean soup?" The weather is hot, I am afraid that my family will suffer from heat stroke, so I have to boil a pot of mung bean soup at home every day.

Shen Jinyan saw that the three of them were sweating on their heads, so he sensibly went to the kitchen to scoop out three bowls of soup, and took the initiative to explain the affairs of the family: "Drink, my father and second brother went to the field to see the rice, and my mother took my little sister to the embroidery room to send mung bean soup to the second sister and the embroidery mother." ”

Liu Bicao nodded, drank a bowl of soup and rested for a while before sorting out the things in the back basket.

Looking at the sky, I started to prepare the meal. Shen Jinqian helped kill the fish, cleaned it and brought it into the kitchen, and when he saw that there was not much firewood in the kitchen, he went to the yard to chop firewood.

Liu Boan was not idle, and took Shen Jinyan to the bamboo forest with a basket specially for picking eggs.

Thinking that today was the birthday of the two, Liu Bicao decided to cook white rice, wash the rice and put it in the pot. I washed the pig's feet and watered them, put some green onions and ginger in them, and then stewed them over high heat.

Then in the yard, wash the pig with rice washing water and floured water, wash it back and forth several times until there is no smell, and then wash it with water.

Let Shen Jinqian go to the vegetable field to pick beans, chili peppers and green vegetables and come back, ready to make a chili fried pig water, roasted beans, fried greens and sauerkraut fish, just at home there are sauerkraut made before, plus stewed pig's feet.

I have to say that ordinary people's New Year's Eve is nothing more than that.

When Shen's mother and Shen Mei and Shen He came back, the meal was not yet good, so Shen's mother and Shen Mei hurriedly went into the kitchen to help.

Not long after, Shen's father came back with Shen Jinxin, and Shen He hurriedly went to the kitchen to fetch water for the two to wash their hands and face to get heat.

It was not dark yet, and it was cool in the yard, so the family put the food in the yard to eat, looking at the table of delicious food, Shen He couldn't help but drool.

When Shen's father and Shen's mother moved the chopsticks, a few small ones began to move the chopsticks. The laughter of the family and the smell of meat and vegetables wafted into the air with the wind. This is bitter for the Chen family next door, Xiuling smelled the aroma of meat, and couldn't swallow the multigrain rice in the bowl.

"Looking at the growth of this crop, as long as it rains, it will be a bumper harvest this year." The family sat in the courtyard after dinner, and on the table were the snacks bought in the town today. "Our family's grain this year has been recovered, in addition to paying taxes, we will send some to Master Bo'an and some to the master of Jinyan School, and we will eat the rest ourselves."

Mother Shen took a piece of dim sum and ate it slowly: "Okay, listen to you, let's wait for the grain to be collected, and we will eat white rice every once in a while." ”

"Dad, let's buy a cow too, it's convenient to use." Listening to Shen's father talk about food, Shen Jinqian remembered what he said about buying cattle today, "Bicao said, Dad, you have a lot of experience, and you can go to the town to take a look when you have time one day." ”

Hearing that he wanted to buy cattle, Shen Jinxin's eyes widened excitedly: "Dad, let's buy it back as soon as possible, and strive to have cattle before the autumn harvest, when the autumn harvest comes, we will be relaxed." ”

Farmers like cows, but not everyone can afford them, because they are not cheap. Now that the family has money to spare, they can also buy a cow and come back, and sometimes people can rest. Thinking of this, Father Shen also happily responded, thinking about going to the town one day.

"Come, Jinxin Bo'an, today is the birthday of the two of you, and Meizi and I have made a dress for each of you." Liu Bicao and Shen Mei cleaned up the kitchen and chopsticks, went into the house and took the newly made clothes out.

Both clothes were dark blue, embroidered only with bamboo and pine on the cuffs.

Looking at the new clothes, both of them were overjoyed, especially Shen Jinxin, who used to have any new clothes to wear, and those who celebrated the New Year and the holidays were all close to the younger brothers and sisters below, that is, the sister-in-law gradually had new clothes to wear when she entered the door.

"Thank you, sister-in-law (eldest sister)."

"The bamboo and pines and cypresses above also have a share of my credit, why don't you thank me?" Shen Mei pretended to be unhappy and snuggled up to Shen's mother.

"Yes, yes, thank you Meizi, good sister, you are lucky." Hearing the two of them's thanks, Shen Mei couldn't help laughing.

Father Shen shook the fan in his hand: "The two of you will be a year older after today, and you will be more sensible." If other people's families are worried, don't let down your sister-in-law's wishes. Especially Bo'an, when studying art outside, he must be humble and not impetuous. ”

"Yes, I know my father (Uncle Shen)." The two replied respectfully.

Father Shen smiled with satisfaction when he saw that the two of them looked serious, and said to Liu Bo'an: "Bo'an, don't blame Uncle Shen for talking too much. ”

Lyuboan was too busy to know. Liu Boan thanked Father Shen too late, how could he blame it? In the Shen family, Liu Boan felt for the first time what family is, Shen's father and Shen's mother also taught him as a son and Shen Jinxin, and Shen Jinqian, his brother-in-law, also taught him many things that he had never learned in the Liu family.

Mother Shen looked at the new clothes in her second son's hand, and looked at the children who were making a mess of happiness, and couldn't help but remember that she gritted her teeth and took out her family foundation to marry Liu Bicao into the door, and I have to say that this is the most right thing to do.

Looking at the eyebrows and eyes are gentle, no longer the cold eldest son and the smiling eldest daughter-in-law, my heart is also sincerely comfortable.

It wasn't until the moonlight came out that the family went back to their rooms to sleep.
