The head of the village of Saddle Fort.

Shen Mei came out of the fourth Shen Jing's house hastily.

No matter how strong the daughter-in-law of the fourth family is, when the third child says what the other families have agreed, she can only give in helplessly.

She is a woman after all, and her two daughters are married separately, and to some extent, they are even inferior to Shen Yun's family. Rao is so strong in her heart, and she is counting on a large family to help each other in her old age.

As for Shen Chuan's family, Shen Mei went directly to a matter of one sentence.

Shen Chuan is good at calculation, and if he counts his three strong laborers, he will definitely send them all when the time comes. Rather than delaying for so many days and having to exert more effort than others, it is better to share the salary equally.

Anyway, I have a lot of land, so I take advantage of it.

Shen Meizhi, who finally persuaded a few families, was complacent, as if he felt that this kind of thing could be done by himself, so when he was walking on the road, he couldn't help but hum a few words of Qin dialect.

On the other hand, in Shen Yun's house, a family of three, Shen Yun had some dinner. In the end, he lost his appetite because of the intense work, and after eating with the feeling of vomiting, he hurried back to his room and fell asleep.

Shen Shan was anxious.

Although his body was sore, he still wanted to pull all the stones back sooner. Thinking that this night's sleep was like a clockwork alarm clock, at the fifth watch, the rooster in the village began to crow, and immediately turned up from the kang.

In the end, Shen Mu was so agitated by Shen Shan, and she also opened her eyes.

The two pairs of eyes looked at each other in the dark, and Shen Shan squeaked and urged Shen's mother to get up and make breakfast quickly.

In order to save food, the family usually drinks hot tea in the morning, and is really hungry and can't stand it, so they will eat a steamed bun mixed with bran.

It's just that after two days of continuous labor, even if Shen Shan has some energy, he can't support it. Shen's mother got up helplessly and was busy, so Shen Shan walked to Shen Yun's house and began to urge Shen Yun to get up.

Sleepy, this was the first feeling that Shen Yun felt when he rubbed his eyes, and then, it was soreness and pain. The whole body is like being filled with adult coarseness, and he can't move.

Shen Shan saw that Shen Yun was still grinding on the kang, and he was a little unhappy. Standing at the door and scolding, although he couldn't hear what he was talking about, he must have accused Shen Yun of being lazy.

Shen Yun originally wanted to argue, but after all, he still remembered Shen's mother's instructions, and he didn't want to make noise early in the morning, so he let others see the jokes, and if he didn't do it, he would make Shen Shanqi sick.

After enduring the pain, she put on her clothes and got down, and Shen's mother had already made breakfast.

It is said to be breakfast, but in fact, it is a thicker gnocchi soup.

Under Shen Shan's constant urging, Shen Yun drank two large bowls in a row, and then re-set the mule cart and slowly walked towards the river beach in the faint morning light.

Shen Mei is at ease.

After sleeping until dawn, my daughter-in-law made a delicious noodle meal and ate it very leisurely, and then went out.

Yesterday, I also discussed with the sturdy men in the village, and with a salary of 500 Wen, all the ditches of the Shen family were repaired. The materials and food are prepared by themselves, and they save a lot of money.

walked out of the house beautifully, and at this time, he wanted to have a showdown with the old family.

Humming a minor tune all the way, when he walked to the door of Shen Yun's house, he suddenly saw a lot of stones piled up in the courtyard. Shen Mei secretly laughed to herself: "This boss is really an anxious person, what's the use of this thing, it's really in vain." ”

Stepping into the yard, Shen's mother was tidying up the house at this time.

"Sister-in-law, where's the eldest brother?"

Mother Shen glanced up, but she was not too cold: "Your eldest brother took Shen Yun to the river beach to pick up stones, and said that when you all come, the materials are ready, it is an inlay, and it doesn't take too much effort." ”

"Huh?" Shen Mei was stunned for no reason.

It's just that there is no burden in my heart, that is, I didn't even tell Shen's mother, and walked all the way to the river beach. He knew in his heart that if he told Shen's mother about hiring someone, he would definitely usher in a burst of scolding.

Only by telling Shen Shan first, as long as he heard that several other old buddies had agreed, he would go to appease Shen's mother.

Shen Mei thought very thoughtfully.

It's just that I didn't expect to run into Shen Shan's father and son halfway, Shen Yun was dragging the mule cart with green tendons on his neck, and Shen Shan kept pushing behind him. The car was full of stones, like a hill.

Shen Mei smacked her lips and didn't know how to speak.

It wasn't until the mule cart slowly moved to Shen Mei that Shen Shan saw his figure and motioned for Shen Yun to stop.

The signature greeting, but it's still a monophonic overlapping word.

Shen Mei smiled wryly. Although I don't know where the father and son got up, just looking at this cart of stones, it will never be too late.

"Big brother, you can rest first. Shen Yun, put the car down. Let's take a moment when it comes to pulling stones. Very quickly helped Shen Yun put the car down, and regardless of the stones rolling to the ground, Shen Mei pulled Shen Shan to the shade of the tree on the side of the road.

Rubbing his hands, he seemed to hesitate for a while, and then said: "Big brother, yesterday I went to Zhuluyuan and also went to the city, and the fifth and sixth children both said that they would find some people to do this canal repair." ”

Shen Shan shook his head, and his disagreement was beyond words.

Of course, Shen Shan disagreed, the stones were almost ready, and now it was left to pull the soil and inlay the stones. This kind of thing can be completed in about two days with the labor of a large family.

Why bother spending that unjust money and hiring some people to pick up the ready-made bargains.

Shen Shan kept gesturing between the river beach and the field in his hand, but he still couldn't say clearly, Shen Yun could only continue to explain: "Third uncle, all the stones in this field have been pulled over, and only the main canal is left, and the stones have also been pulled to my yard." ”

"Huh? Have you pulled the stone ready? Shen Mei thought it was just those piled up in the yard, but how did she know that there was still a field.

Thinking about the time when I was negotiating with those young men before, those guys smiled and went from 400 wen to 500 wen, and also proposed not to prepare their own stones and food. Co-authored, they already knew that Shen Shan's father and son had already prepared those.

The pride in Shen Mei's heart disappeared in an instant at this time.

It's just that hiring someone still has to be done after all.

"However, I have already negotiated with the people, and the price and everything have been agreed. Our Shen family is also a big family in Niu'anbao, so we can't be like those idlers and go back on our word. ”

Since Shen Mei was admitted to the state school by her son, she seems to regard her family as a scholar. The intelligence of the reader has not learned much, but the habits of the nerd are much heavier.

Maybe it's also for the sake of making Shen Yan's scientific examination better in the future, his words and deeds are like a scholar's style, and at this time, he actually used this to block the mouths of Shen Shan's father and son.

It's just that Shen Shan is a farmer in the end, and Rao is Shen Yun who reads, and he doesn't really regard him as a scholar. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been urging to do such hard work early in the morning.

Here in Shen Shan, Shen Mei's remarks are not convincing at all.

The fingers that he waved earlier were even more powerful, and he kept shouting at Shen Mei with a red face and a thick neck, but he still couldn't speak, so he could only wait for Shen Yun fiercely, hoping that he would be able to explain a thing or two.

It's just that Shen Yun has only been together for a few days, how can he understand what Shen Shan means, he can only tell Shen Mei about the hard work of the father and son repeatedly.

But, can these really be put in Shen Mei's heart?

He still thinks about what kind of evil consequences will be caused to his family by distrusting others, whether it will have any impact on his son's scientific expedition, and what kind of discussions the village will have in the future.

Therefore, in the face of Shen Yun's chattering explanations and Shen Shan's almost angry arguments, Shen Mei slowly retorted: "In the end, I have already agreed with others, and I have paid half of the money, and I regret it now, wouldn't I want to waste the money." ”

Just knowing one sentence instantly made Shen Shan, a farmer over forty years old, tears flow from the corners of his eyes.

Speaking of which, the matter has become a foregone conclusion, not counting his hard work for two days in vain, and he has to take a lot of unjust money, for Shen Shan, who is reluctant to break a penny in half, it is simply a flesh cut on himself.

A pair of rough hands like a fan slapped the stones on the mule cart fiercely, and finally forced a sentence to be intermittently spoken: "Then the canal that can be repaired in only two days, our grandfather has worked hard for two days, two days, and the shoulders, hands and legs are eager to break the stones that have been prepared." ”

Tears fell one by one on the stones he had picked up from the river beach, and in the end, they seeped into the stones.

After saying this, Shen Shan suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and the hand holding on the mule cart slowly loosened, and then fell heavily on the road covered with yellow leaves.

It's just that the eyes are open angrily, as if they want to vent his grievances and anger.

"Daddy, Daddy......"

Shen Yun woke up from the surprise of Shen Shan's words.

Hurriedly knelt down beside Shen Shan, picked up his already limp body, and screamed softly. In the end, I still didn't wake up, and when I looked at my snort and heartbeat, there was no movement.

Shen Yun was stunned.

He never thought that Shen Shan would die in such a way.

Although he didn't like Shen Shan's stubbornness very much in just over a month, in the end, Shen Shan still used his rough fatherly love to refresh his good impression of Shen Yun again and again.

In the end, Shen Yun still broke his promise. I thought about buying a watermelon for Shen Shan, but I haven't seen a shadow yet, but the person has already left.

The son wants to raise but does not wait, just seven words keep lingering in Shen Yun's mind, and his eyes have long been filled with tears. Then, dripping on Shen Shan's ravine-filled face, rushing out of rivers of dust.

As for Shen Mei, at this time, he can no longer say the great truth of his gentlemen's trustworthiness.

After being stunned for a while, he pulled his legs and ran to the village. He didn't dare, nor did he want to face Shen Yun's incomprehensible gaze, so he could only escape early, maybe he could gain some stability in his heart for a short time.
