Sent out politely.

It's not the embarrassing situation of sending off the country, although I had a good conversation with the old butler, but when I came to the city today, there was still something else to do. Shen Yun repeatedly refused the old man's retention, and then he was sent outside the gate of Fan's mansion.

agreed to come back later, Shen Yun carried the one hundred and twenty yuan he received from the account room, and his face was full of smiles.

It's just that this time has come in the blink of an eye, and Shen Shi has to endure the unhappiness in his heart and go to Uncle Shen Xi's house.

It's really a humiliating thing.

Footsteps slowly came to the dark door, and buttoned the door knocker again, this time it was Shen Xi himself who came to open the door.

Seeing that it was Shen Yun in person, Shen Xi's face still showed a trace of embarrassment. The quarrels between the two on that day were all listened to by Shen Yun, and the face that he originally wanted to save was completely ruined by his mother-in-law.

Now I don't know what Shen Yun came to do, if he borrows money again, I'm afraid that he will make another wave.

But he couldn't block the door like his own son before and didn't let Shen Yun in.

He smiled awkwardly, opened the two doors, let Shen Yun in, and closed the door again.

Shen Yun really avoided the time to eat this time, but the aunt's face was still a little unsightly. Seeing Shen Yun coming in, he just thought he was coming to borrow money again, and he didn't even say hello, so he snorted coldly and walked straight into his house.

Although this was the second time to face this cheap aunt, Shen Yun seemed to be more and more unconcerned.

Shen Yun, who is accustomed to seeing the indifference of family affection in later generations, now looks at Shen Xi's family, and he is just an ordinary person wearing a coat of family affection. It's no different from the neighbors' personal homes.

After entering the house, Shen Xi just took the kettle and poured a glass of water for Shen Yun as if it had never happened, and then sat on the other side of the table, and said with a smile:

"After you left that day, I argued with your aunt for a long time, but in the end I still took the money out. I just didn't see you come for a few days, and she asked you to go back sporadically. ”

Shen Yun smiled.

With such an obvious refusal, he is not stupid, how could he not hear it. Shen Xi doesn't mean that you want to borrow money today, and you need to quarrel at home again.

Shaking his head: "Uncle, I didn't come here today to borrow money." But seeing that the crops are about to ripen thoroughly, I have come to tell you that in five or six days, the wheat will be harvested. ”

"So early?"

Sure enough, if you don't have a family, you don't know the price of firewood and rice, and you don't know how rice and wheat are ripe if you don't farm. It is now the end of July, and although each family does not have much land, each family has only one or two sickles, and the cutting of a few sheaves of wheat is dull, and the speed is not fast at all.

If you don't want to dry the wheat grains to the ground thoroughly, you can only cut the wheat stalks before they are completely yellow.

And they borrowed cattle to pull the wheat from the stalks in the threshing floor with stone rollers. If the weather is better in the next few days, I can still try to collect grain into my home within half a month.

But once it encounters a rainy day, it will be delayed for two or three days, and I don't know if it can be cleaned up in early September.

Shen Yun could only answer helplessly: "It's not early, there is a leap month this year, calculate carefully, this is the usual August, and if you don't harvest the crops, I'm afraid that it will rot in the ground." ”

Hearing this, Shen Xi was silent for a while.

Shen Yun was only thinking about when to go to Niu'anbao, but he didn't want Shen Xi to speak, but it made him feel a chill: "Nephew, look at my family, I will definitely be in the county at that time, Shen Tao's child has been pampered in the past few years, where is the person who farms."

What's more, your aunt still has to serve our grandfather, and there is really no one in this family to clean up the crops. If not, if not......"

After pausing here for a while, looking at Shen Yun's expressionless face, Shen Xi still said: "No, you will work more and collect my family's fields." When it was delivered to the threshing floor, I took the time to go and get the grain down. ”

What Shen Xi said was very natural.

It seems that Shen Yun, the nephew, should be called by them as uncles. didn't even think about Shen Yun's hard work, he only thought about harvesting the crops and pulling them back to his home in the end.

Shen Yun smiled.

"Uncle, if I remember correctly, when I planted in the spring this year, I planted the nine acres of land in your family with my father. You just sent some seeds, and then you were gone. ”

In just one sentence, Shen Xi was very embarrassed. However, he soon turned his face and forced himself to smile: "When I go back when I thresh, cut a pound of good meat, and bring a pot of good wine, and treat your father and son well." ”

Is this a sweet date? Shen Yun pursed his lips, but Shen Xi's words still made him reluctantly accept such a call: "It's really not good, I'll go to the eldest brother in person." ”

Hehe, look for Shen Shan.

With Shen Shan's stubborn temperament, his brother's affairs are not seen at all. In the past few years, Shen Shan would rather not finish the affairs of a large family, but also do a good job of others.

Shen Yun's predecessor had been beaten with sticks in this kind of thing at least five or six times.

Silent, he couldn't help but think of the post-50s and 60s in his previous life, and he always refuted the post-890s who read the book and read it into the donkey's belly. The implication is that in their eyes, scholars are a bunch of bad things who don't know how to be polite and disrespectful.

I don't know that the more I study, the more I know etiquette, and my words and deeds have my own set of standards. Those old people rely on the old and sell the old one by one, take advantage of the advantages when they see them, and drill them when they see the benefits, and they have a conflict with the young people in terms of their fundamental interests.

One wants to snatch the benefits, and the other does not give the benefits, so all kinds of bad and malicious invectives arise spontaneously.

From the past to the present, the two generations of Shen Shan and Shen Yun have never repaid Shen Xi's family. Even when it came to the shortage of green and yellow, he would rather borrow other people's food than trouble Shen Xi's family.

This year, the borrowing time is shorter, and Shen's mother feels that it is only a month away from the autumn harvest, and Shen Xi's family can also recover from the money of a bucket of rice, so it is not easy to speak, but Shen Xi's family rejected it with a quarrel.

At this time, Shen Yun's euphemistic refusal was refuted by Shen Xi's shameless compulsion.

Seeing that Shen Yun was silent, Shen Xi stopped talking. The two of them sat quietly, not wanting to blink, and the sky was already a little dark.

"Tom", the sound of two knocks on the door, accompanied by Shen Tao's rough voice shouted: "Daddy, open the door quickly, I'm dying of hunger." ”

Glancing at Shen Yun, Shen Xi got up and went out, but in the blink of an eye, two fat figures entered the main hall.

When Shen Yun's figure fell into Shen Tao's eyes, a little mockery suddenly rose on the little fat man's face: "Hey, fourth, what's the matter, I'm here to borrow money today?" ”

Shen Yun, who was silent, made Shen Tao think that he had really guessed, and was about to sneer again, but was stopped by Shen Xi: "Bastard thing, this is your fourth brother, what is the fourth brother." Lao Tzu is not dead yet, you dare to call yourself old. ”

Shen Tao grinned, but stopped talking.

The little aunt, who hadn't shown up for a long time, finally came out of her bedroom at this time, and scolded Shen Xi: "Tao'er is just joking, you are so vicious, are you still a father?" ”

was scolded by his mother-in-law like this, Shen Xi's face was a little unbearable, and he called angrily: "Women, don't hurry up and cook." ”

After speaking, seeing the aunt go out to the kitchen next to her and tinkle with the kitchenware, Shen Xi smiled at this time: "Nephew, it's getting late at this time, you might as well stay in my house today, and you can go back tomorrow morning." ”

In the end, he threatened Shen Yun, but Shen Xi still felt that he wanted to give a little benefit.

Staying at home for a meal and sleeping all night by the way can be regarded as the benevolence of being an uncle.

"Why don't you hurry up and clean up your pighouse, Shen Yun will sleep with you tonight." Turning his head and glaring at Shen Tao, who was still looking at Shen Yun with disdain, Shen Xi scolded sharply.

This made Shen Tao furious.

"What, Daddy, you want me to sleep with him?" Pointing at Shen Yun, Shen Tao exclaimed: "No, no, no, he has a muddy smell, if I sleep with him and get this smell, I will go to the poetry club tomorrow, won't it make people laugh." “

Shen Yun felt a burst of contempt in his heart.

This little fat man said well, he participated in this poetry meeting and that literary meeting all day long.

But Shen Yun is also a scholar, isn't it said here. It's nothing more than a group of guys who have nothing to do, just looking for a way to get together and spend all day drinking.

The poetry club with real gold content must have a few respected Shilin seniors present, and how can a guy like Shen Tao who has not even read the "Analects" be able to enter.

Before Shen Yun could say anything, the little aunt who was still cooking outside had already stopped her with a sharp voice at this time: "Tao'er poetry will be more important, make a few more friends from the county school, and when you enter school next year, you will be taken care of by others." “

As for the arrangement of Shen Yun, even Shen Yun himself felt that this family was wonderful.

"It happened to be sunny tonight, and it wasn't too cold, so I put two boards under the wide corridor on the edge of the ear room, and took a piece of felt to pounce on it, and then slept with my clothes together."

This family had a conversation like a joke, and Shen Yun kept smiling and listening. He had a plan in his heart, and looked at this family, as if he was looking at the harlequin in the Qin dialect, there was no anger in his heart, only a smile.

Shen Xi seemed to want to say something, but he stopped talking, and finally looked at Shen Yun with a consultative tone: "No, as your aunt said, you will be wronged for one night, and you will have dinner tomorrow morning before leaving?" “

Looking up at the door, the sunset was still red, and the residual temperature of the sun had not yet made the blowing breeze chill, Shen Yun shook his head:

"I won't bother my uncle today, I just made an appointment with a friend when I entered the city, and I want to go to his house to discuss knowledge. It wasn't too early to see, and I was gone. “

Ignoring Shen Xi's retention, bowing down, he didn't even have the interest to look at Shen Tao and his aunt, Shen Yun hurried out of Shen Xi's house as if he had encountered a disaster.

eyes, but looking at the inn that had just been lit up.
