In the face of Shen Xi's invisible mediation, Shen Yun could only force himself to suppress his resentment, turned his gaze to Shen Xi, nodded, and squeezed out a smile: "It's the uncle who taught him to smile." ”

As if to ease the atmosphere of Fang Cai, Shen Xi shook his head and signaled that it was okay, but he pushed the rice bowl on the table in front of Shen Yun: "Eat something, I'll talk about it after I have something to eat." Greeting Shen Yun like this, he also picked up the remaining half bowl of rice, and ate the two meat, one vegetarian and three dishes on the table unhurriedly.

Yinhua'er had already regarded the bowl of rice in his hand as a life-and-death enemy, and at this time he had already finished eating and put the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

The little aunt was squeezed by Shen Yun, and she didn't want to see this uncle and nephew more and more, and she didn't even ask if she would continue to serve the rice, but just pulled the rice grains in her bowl.

Only Shen Tao looked like he didn't care about himself, and after eating the rice in the bowl, he didn't fill it in, and his eyes looked at which dish Shen Yun was going to sandwich, as if he had eaten a lot of losses and wanted to make up for it, and he filled the vegetables into his mouth.

The meal ended silently, and when Shen Xi put down the rice bowl, Shen Yun had already finished eating.

Shaking his head helplessly, Shen Xi stood up and beckoned to Shen Yun, "Come out and talk to me." ”

Nodding, watching Shen Xi slowly pacing into the courtyard, Shen Yun kept up. And Yinhua'er had long been reluctant to stay with her aunt and Shen Tao, so she also walked out behind Shen Yun at this time.

But she knew that she couldn't mix in the words of adults, so she walked to another part of the courtyard, squatted down, picked up a fallen leaf on the ground, and played with it.

Avoiding his wife, Shen Xi breathed a deep sigh of relief, and before he was reincarnated, he asked Shen Yun, "I came here today, but what is the matter at home." If Uncle can help, he won't let you go in vain. ”

Maybe it's because I think young people have tender faces and don't beat around the corner.

Shen Yunzheng felt how to speak, and when he heard Shen Xi ask, he didn't think about it for a while, and said directly: "Seeing the autumn harvest, there is not much food at home, so before leaving, A-Niang instructed to come to the uncle to see if she could borrow dozens of dollars to buy some food back, in case the green and yellow are not accepted." ”

When it came to borrowing money, Shen Xi was suddenly silent.

Shen Yun knew that what made Shen Xi silent was not that there was no money at home, but that this money should be put in Shen Yun's hands. Although he is in charge of this price, he is not the only one in the family after all.

After being silent for a long time, Shen Xi seemed to have made a decision, and nodded at Shen Yun: "You wait a minute, I'll go in." ”

Although the silver bottle was playing with the leaves in her hands, her eyes were always fixed on this side.

Seeing Shen Xi nodding, a hint of joy suddenly appeared in the corners of his eyes. Although he was still playing with the leaves, his ears kept listening to Shen Xi's footsteps and stepping into the upper room.

Zhao walked straight to the bedroom, and at this time, the aunt put away the dishes and chopsticks that several people ate into the pot. Like the silver bottle, her ears are not idle, and she has always cared about the conversation between Shen Xi's uncle and nephew.

Knowing that Shen Xi came in to withdraw money this time, he didn't even clean up the leftovers on the table, and followed Shen Xi's back foot into the bedroom.

Suddenly, a commotion rang out in the bedroom that could not be seen directly.

"Your nephew, a good farmer is not right, his heart is higher than the sky, and he still wants to take the imperial examination to be a jinshi. Is he the material to be a jinshi? was brushed off after a liberation test, and spent a lot of unjust money in vain, but now he has found our family to borrow money. ”

"You don't have to say a word."

Shen Xi's consistent neutral attitude made him not know what to say to deal with his wife's criticism. can only say such a sentence in the little aunt's nagging.

"I'm going to say less, I'm going to say less. I want to divide the six families at the beginning, and this day will live their own lives. Now they can't get by, so they're coming to us. How should we live in the future? ”

"Besides, you see him come in and dare to contradict what I said. Does he still have my aunt in his eyes? No. This kind of disrespectful and respectful thing, I think it deserves to be the first. ”

The words are getting meaner and meaner.

Now even Shen Yun's parents are not spared.

"Think about your eldest brother who pretends to be deaf and dumb, if we hadn't gone to see him during the New Year's holidays over the years, who would have paid attention to him. As for your sister-in-law, she is even more remarkable, her family is so poor that she can't eat a meal of meat a year, and she let this loser study and take the imperial examination. ”

"Smack." The same voice sounded from two places, inside and outside the house.

In the house, it was Shen Xi who was angry and slapped the aunt hard. Outside the house, the silver bottle was spraying anger in his eyes, and he broke a dead branch in his hand.

It's just that the next voice in the room became louder and louder: "Okay, you Shen Xi, you wolf-hearted thing, you will kill me." If you don't kill me, you don't want to come up with this door today. I'd rather you beat me to death than lend money to something that doesn't know how thick the sky is. ”

The aunt's shrill voice became more and more piercing with the crying.

I couldn't see how entangled it was in the courtyard, but the more and more ugly words came out, making Shen Yun stand here like a pins and needles.

"You don't look at what's in that little hoof's bosom. I can see clearly, it's a sugar gourd. If you have money to eat that, don't you have money to eat? ”

"I think they just watched you come and followed. I don't even want to mix up a lunch, you poor nephew, I don't serve. ”

"With this money, the poetry club that Tao'er is going to will already be enough to make up for it."

Silver Bottle's eyes were a little red. I didn't expect that the sugar gourd I wanted to leave to my grandmother and grandfather also became a sarcastic handle for my aunt.

Tears flowed out of his eyes, and he took out the sugar gourd from his bosom, like holding a boulder weighing a thousand catties. The silver bottle looked at Shen Yun aggrievedly, and her petite body twitched one after another, clearly whimpering to the extreme.

Shen Yun knew that the money he borrowed from his uncle, even if it was just a bucket of grain, was enough for the family to support the autumn harvest.

Without this money, the family would have to go hungry for at least a few days. I might as well do it, but thinking about the sick and weak old lady, and the father who can't even speak now, Shen Yun's steps to step out of the door are heavy.

After all, people, integrity, still have to succumb to those dozens of dollars.

didn't hear the sound of the door, and the aunt's crying and scolding became more and more intense: "The old lady has knocked on the door, and she has never gnawed on a cabbage stick from his old family." He has a face, and he came to me to ask for money. Okay, if you lend out 70 wen today, I will ask him to pay back 80 wen after the autumn. ”

Shen Yun was almost desperate.

got the memory of his predecessor, of course he knew how much pressure the extra ten cents was on his family.

This year's harvest is not very good, the crops in the field, after removing all kinds of taxes, the rest is enough for his family of three to eat until midsummer next year. If it weren't for the late autumn and spring and summer, you can dig some wild vegetables and catch a few fish in the river, how can you survive until next autumn's harvest?

Giving the uncle an extra ten cents means that his family has more than ten days of living pressure.

What's more, this is his own uncle, not those rich people who lend money outside.

From now to the autumn harvest, it will only be more than 20 days, and it will cost ten cents. Hehe.

Shen Yun stopped talking, but still made a decision in his heart.

Shaking his head at the silver bottle who was still crying, he bowed to Shen Xi, who was still noisy in the house, and Shen Yun said loudly: "Coming here today has caused a lot of trouble to my uncle, and my nephew is very guilty. When the uncle arrives at Niu'an Fort in the future, he will make amends to the uncle. Let's go back today, Uncle doesn't have to send him off. ”

Almost as if fleeing, Shen Yun pulled the silver bottle and walked out of the black lacquered door.

It seems that inside and outside the door, even the air has a different smell. Looking back at the door that he had pulled with his own hands, he didn't look back, and walked straight out of the square.

The silver bottle was still holding the string of sugar gourds in his hand, but he could no longer see a trace of the previous sweetness at this moment. As if he had done something wrong, he buried his head deep in his arms. Xu was tired from crying, but he stopped sobbing.

"Uncle, did I do something wrong?"

Suddenly, the thick nasal voice made Shen Yun's figure stop. Shaking his head, without the slightest comfort, he said very calmly: "She doesn't want to, so there are thousands of reasons to refuse." Do you have that string of sugar gourds in your arms, is it really heavy? ”

After thinking about it, he seemed to think that what Shen Yun said was very reasonable, so his voice was a little louder: "Then, how do we want grandma to explain when we go back?" I secretly looked at it in the morning, and there were only less than two bowls of rice in the urn, and even if I filled in the wild vegetables, I wouldn't be able to survive the autumn harvest. ”

Shen Yun was stunned.

He didn't care about these details at all. Maybe the predecessor was clear, but he had only received this body for a few hours, and he had not sorted out these things at all.

With a wry smile, Shen Yun could only barely comfort the little girl.

"Uncle has hands and feet, and he will definitely not let your grandfather and grandma go hungry." said so, but in fact, he didn't have any confidence in his heart, so he immediately followed: "Anyway, it's still early, why don't we go around the city to see if there is a suitable livelihood and can make some money to subsidize." ”

Yinhua'er is a little girl in the end, nodding when she heard this, Fang Cai's grievances and anger were swept away, and she said to Shen Yun very excitedly: "Then that's it, hurry up, uncle, there are so many people on the street at this time, I can't say that I can meet the right thing." ”

Breaking away from Shen Yun's hand and running forward a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and said with a smile: "If it was the previous uncle, he would definitely have lowered his voice and apologized to that wicked woman." ”

Shen Yun was secretly frightened, in the end, she was still seen by the little girl. However, he still put away the waves in his heart, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and asked very easily: "Then do you think that the previous uncle is better, or the current uncle is better?" ”

Silver Bottler glanced at Shen Yun up and down, and nodded: "Although the current uncle is a little impulsive, but Bottler feels that such an uncle is manly." ”

With that, he turned around with a grin and ran farther down the street.
