Chapter 19 The surface of donkey dung and eggs is shiny
Shen Yun didn't know how a county official could take leave in just a few hours.
However, Shen Xi's family's behavior was as judged by themselves, and Shen Yun stepped into the door with the front foot, but after drinking a sip of water to rest, Shen Xi followed into the village with the back foot.
The people in the village are simple, even if it is just a small penman, they are also great officials in their eyes. Before Shen Xi stepped into the door of Shen Yun's house, there were villagers sitting idle and chatting to greet him one after another.
"Yo, the young master of the Shen family is here."
The word "master" is not something that can be said casually, in this era of clans, seniority is the biggest rule for these shallow villagers except for the official master.
The Shen family has six branches, and each has no close relatives in the village.
Even according to the common generation, Shen Xi's old men who squatted in the south wall to bask in the sun were only their peers. What's more, because he is young, it makes sense for others to call him by his name.
thought that the sentence "little master" really complimented Shen Xi to heaven.
Shen Xi really dared to stand it, and smiled happily: "No, I heard that the eldest brother's family wants to thresh, and it is really not easy to think about a family of three, so I took leave in the county to come to help." ”
Shen Yun didn't tell anyone about going to the city, and the village only thought that he had gone somewhere else.
The villagers who didn't know what was going on praised Shen Xi's brotherhood, which made Shen Xi feel comfortable for a while.
On the dusty street, Shen Xiyan smiled and chatted with the people in the village for a long time.
When I walked into the house, I saw Shen Yun packing up my things, and I didn't know where I got my face, and said to Shen Yun with a smile: "Eldest nephew, when I arrived at my uncle's house, why didn't you sit down and drink a cup of tea and wait for me, but taught me to hurry up for a while." ”
Then, like his own home, he sat on the bench, picked up the teapot, and drank bitterly to the spout.
That self-cooked appearance made Shen Yun frown for a while.
"There is a little aunt guarding the door, and my nephew doesn't dare to enter. I'm afraid that something will be missing when I go in, and I will be suspected of being under the melon field. It's just a matter of one or two sentences, so why wait for the uncle to come back. ”
Shen Yun was furious.
At this time, there was no respect in his words, and when Shen Xi heard it, he was naturally extremely annoyed.
However, he was partial and angry.
He knew in his heart that his nephew didn't know what medicine he had taken recently, and his personality had changed drastically.
If it had been before, in such a situation, he would have picked up his uncle's shelf, so that he could teach a lesson. Because Shen Yun was so cowardly in the past that he didn't dare to return half a sentence.
But now, Shen Xi had to weigh it.
He absolutely believed that as long as he dared to say a few more words, Shen Yun would dare to spread the news of today's entry into the city to the village.
The nephew came to the door, but the aunt didn't even let him in. What's more, the thing to talk about is the problem of his family's threshing.
Once it is publicized, his good reputation for running in the village for a long time will be completely ruined. That consequence is definitely not what I want.
At the moment, his tone was even more softened: "Don't be angry, nephew, your aunt is that kind of character." After so many years, hasn't it always been like this, your uncle, it doesn't work if I say it, doesn't it? Let's go to the threshing floor to have a look. ”
Shen Xi just said to take a look.
And in fact, it is indeed a matter of seeing.
When Shen Yun took him to the threshing floor, a fat and strong mule was leading a three-foot-long stone roller, and was led by Shen Shan around the threshing floor.
The mules were borrowed by themselves. It was also thanks to the blessing of the Chi family for a few days, and every family in the village packed up their crops into their own homes, and the mules and horses were also free. Shen's mother only took three liters of grain, so she borrowed this mule for a few days.
If this is not the case, he will have to lead the stone rollers weighing 100 catties all over the threshing floor to earn a day, and if this continues, the two men in his family will die of exhaustion sooner or later.
Seeing Shen Xi's figure, Shen's mother did not make a sound. However, Shen Shan was unusually enthusiastic, stopped the mule, and was afraid that the mule would bow its head and eat the crops, so he simply pulled out the threshing floor and let it eat the wild grass around it.
"Ahhhh
Shen Shan's eyebrows fluttered, pointing at Shen Xi, and then pointing at the two tall wheat stacks on the edge of the threshing floor. seems to explain to Shen Xi that those are his harvests in the field this year.
Seeing the two neatly stacked wheat stacks, Shen Xi couldn't have been happier.
Although he didn't know what Shen Shan meant, he still had a smile on his face: "Big brother has worked hard, after a while, I will bring a pound of meat when I come back, and treat my eldest brother well." ”
Such a promise, in Shen Yun's memory, often becomes a distant future in the end after a while. Counting this time, Shen Xi has been to the village for the second time this year. The first time, of course, is that during the New Year, a large family comes back to worship their ancestors.
Looking at Shen Shan's satisfied face, Shen Xi knew that what he was going to say next would be successful.
Nodding at Shen's mother, ignoring Shen Yun, who was leading the mule next to him to continue threshing, Shen Xi continued: "Big brother, I have something here. ”
When Shen Shan answered, he said directly: "The county only allowed me four days off. If you help your eldest brother, I'm afraid that there won't be enough time. Why don't you beat my two stacks first, and then I'll find someone to replace me. ”
I really don't know how Shen Xi came up with such a bad reason.
However, even so, Shen Shan still did not have any unhappiness, but took Shen Xi to the wheat stack, constantly gesturing.
In the Saddle Fort, the discussion at the base of the south wall was not calm.
A few old men were still chatting about the Shen family's affairs at this time.
"There are six brothers in the Shen family, I don't think the eldest and the fourth family are good, and the other families are really good."
"Just about to talk about this, you said that Shen Shan's family gave birth to a boy and a girl, and the daughter married to Ningxibao, and the father-in-law of that family knew that he was like a raised son, and his life was really difficult."
"As for this son......
The old man who spoke seemed embarrassed to go on, but another one picked up the conversation: "Shen Yun's descendant is a nerd in his life." I can't work, I can't study, in short, everything is half-baked. The temperament is also soft like a puddle of mud, and this old family will be sad in the future. ”
Suddenly, someone retorted.
"Third uncle, you are wrong. Just a few days ago, when I was herding sheep, I met the sheep herd in Ningxi Fort, and then I realized that this kid from the Shen Shan family is not a good stubble. ”
"Oh?"
Suddenly, someone said this, and everyone really wanted to hear how powerful Shen Yun was. His eyes brushed over the man who spoke out, and he felt proud for a while.
"Wasn't the girl of the Zhu family in Shen Shan's house some time ago, when Shen Yun went to send the girl in the next life, he didn't know where the money came from, so he pulled a few feet of cloth for the girl of the Shen family. I heard that the thing was beautiful and broken, which made the old wife of the Zhu family jealous. ”
Leaving aside where the money came from, everyone just wanted to know what happened next. The situation of Zhu Aming's family, the people in Niu'anbao are more or less clear, and they all understand that the old couple is definitely not a good person.
So the old woman said that it was stolen by Shen Yun. There was a lot of noise, and it even ripped out the ruffian son of his family. The guy wanted to hit the Shen family's girl, but who knew that Shen Yun took a stick and knocked her to the ground directly. ”
"Sss Although it was not explained that Zhu Aliang was knocked over by Shen Yun after a hangover, he dared to shoot at Shen Yun, and he suddenly refreshed his cognition of the villagers.
Seeing that everyone was engaged, the person who spoke was even more energetic: "That's not all, in the end, even the village elders of Ningxibao were lured out, and as a result, the old woman of the Zhu family obediently wrote something like a guarantee to others, and also pressed her finger prints." ”
The matter is over, but it arouses more and more people's questions: "Did this kid Shen Yun steal or not?" ”
Compared with how many grievances the old wife and son of the Zhu family have suffered, they are more concerned about this. No one wants a thief in their village. I didn't look at the attitude of the villagers in Ningxibao towards Zhu Aliang, and they all watched coldly when they were beaten by outsiders.
"Hey, how do I know if I stole or not? However, I heard that the group of people in Ningxi Fort were all frightened, and the shepherd who greeted me only said that the cloth was bought by Shen Yun. It's just the right way to come. ”
The most well-informed person in the village is the old man from Shen Yun's neighbor's house. Pack's inquiring temperament allows him to know a lot of extra things.
At this time, when he heard people talking, he said unhurriedly: "Don't guess, that money is really coming from the right way." The daughter-in-law of the Shen Shan family is tight-mouthed, and Shen Yun is also a man of few words in her later life, so you naturally don't know. ”
"On the day the scientific examination was completed, it is said that this descendant was sent to Shen Xi's house to borrow money. In those days, the big guys had a hard time, so I don't say why. As a result, the daughter-in-law of Shen Xi's family made a fuss, and the latter was thin-skinned, so she came out. ”
Someone next to him immediately confirmed: "I've heard about this." Although neither of them said anything, but in the end someone still saw it. ”
"I don't know that there are people in the city who are looking for a few copyists. Most of the things that those people did were valuable, and I didn't know what luck I had in my later life, but I was chosen. ”
Speaking of this, the old man pretended to be mysterious: "Guess, how much money does this kid make quietly?" ”
Without waiting for others to guess, the old man directly stretched out two fingers: "Two taels are more." I heard that it took ten days of hard work to earn so much money. ”
There was a commotion in the crowd.
"Good girl, this biting dog doesn't bark, two taels of silver, we are tired and tired this year, and the harvest in the field is just like that."
After saying this, the old man took a puff of dry cigarette: "You don't have to think that Shen Xi's guy is so kind, he didn't come today to help Shen Shan's honest guy." ”
"In the morning, Shen Yun went out of the house and walked separately from his father. I see, most of them went to the city. As a result, the two of them arrived at the Saddle Castle on their front and back feet, here, you say there is nothing boring? ”
The villagers are simple, but not stupid: "Co-author, the Shen family is donkey dung and eggs at all, and the surface is bright." ”
