Chapter 101: Draw the line
Originally, Jun Enyan did not do it authentically, and Shen Wan'er didn't feel that she had gone to explain anything wrong to him.
Although there were still some worries in her heart, it could be seen that Shen Wan'er was so swearing, but Shen Zhao'er didn't have much to say.
Back home, Shen Wan'er handed over one hundred taels of silver tickets to Hu Yueyue, and told her not to be touched by Shen Da, everyone in this family knows what kind of virtue Shen Da is, so even Shen Zhao'er didn't say anything bad.
"Don't worry, I'll keep it for the rest of my life."
It was the first time Hu Yueyue had seen so many taels of silver, a large family like them, ten taels of silver in Peony Village could make a year of prosperity, even if the prices in the city were high, Hu Yueyue felt that the hundred taels of silver were enough for a year.
"If it's not enough, come back to me and get it." Shen Wan'er has never been a housekeeper, and she doesn't know how much money the family will spend on a year if she has a good life, although she gives a hundred taels, she doesn't know if it's enough.
In order to prevent Hu Yueyue from buying bad food in order to save money, Shen Wan'er specially advised.
After getting the money, Hu Yueyue pulled Shen Da out non-stop to buy grain, although she also brought some grain from Peony Village, but the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar were a little insufficient.
Originally, she planned to let Shen Wan'er bring it back when she entered the city again, but now that the family has already come and has the silver in her hand, Hu Yueyue didn't bother Shen Wan'er.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw the porter bring in a lot of cloth.
"This ......"
These cloths knew that they were worth a lot of money at a glance, and Hu Yueyue looked at Shen Wan'er with some doubts, as if asking her what was going on.
"These are all bought by my sister and I just now, so let's make some clothes for the family with my sister."
Although Shen Zhao'er's tailoring skills are only average, she is much more patient than Shen Wan'er, not to mention that Hu Yueyue's craftsmanship is good, so Shen Wan'er would say such things.
didn't expect that there would be her own share, Hu Yueyue was very happy, "Okay, I'll do it when I come back." ”
After that, he pulled Shen Da away, and the porter followed them to say goodbye and leave.
The courtyard was clean again, and Shen Zhao'er stretched, "I'll continue to clean up the room." ”
When she was pulled out by Shen Wan'er, she had just laid out the mattress, and the rest of the clothes and miscellaneous items had not been put in place, thinking that now that Hu Yueyue had gone out, she should clean up her room and cook together when she came back.
"Go ahead."
Shen Wan'er went to the well in the courtyard to fetch water, planning to clean the yard.
Although she also cleaned up this yard when she first bought it, but after all, she doesn't come often, and tidying up is just to take care of her own room.
After Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang cleaned up their small room, they came to the front and saw Shen Wan'er sweeping the floor, although they were young, but the children of poor families were already in charge, and they would do some work within their ability.
So Da Zhuang helped fetch water, and Er Zhuang took a rag to wipe the stone tables and stone benches in the yard.
As soon as Shen Wan'er turned around and saw that half of Da Zhuang's small body was leaning into the well, she was so frightened that her soul flew away, and she hurriedly stepped forward to pull the person back.
"What are you doing?"
She was scared a lot just now, so Shen Wan'er's tone was not very good, and she could even say it with anger.
After all, Da Zhuang and Shen Wan'er have not been together for a long time, and when she said this, Da Zhuang shrank his neck and said in a low voice: "I saw that the second sister was cleaning up the yard and wanted to help." ”
He is a boy, and his strength must be greater than that of the second sister, so he thought about helping Shen Wan'er fetch water.
Er Zhuang saw that his brother was murdered, and hurriedly stepped forward to play a round, "My brother and I both want to help my second sister work, don't scold my brother." ”
The children are quite righteous.
Seeing Er Zhuang's milky voice, Shen Wan'er couldn't let it out even if she was angry in her heart.
Pulling the two aside, she said helplessly: "You are still young, don't go to the well, what if you fall?" ”
In this era, many people die in the well every year, and adults are still prone to stumbling, especially children.
Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang can be said to be Hu Yueyue's hearts, and now they have become Shen Wan'er's younger brothers, although these two children are a little naughty, but many times they are still very well-behaved, and they will help adults with their work, Shen Wan'er likes it in her heart, and naturally she will not expect them to have an accident.
Children are the most sensitive many times, seeing that Shen Wan'er's eyes were full of worry, knowing that she was really worried about herself, Da Zhuang twisted a little embarrassedly, "Didn't I think about the second sister's hard work in fetching water?" ”
"Then you can help me fetch water when you grow up, and now you can help me sweep the floor, okay?"
Shen Wan'er has always been very patient with sensible children.
Da Zhuang suddenly felt that he had been entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and hurriedly said loudly: "Okay! ”
"What about me? What about me? Seeing that Da Zhuang was assigned to work, Er Zhuang was afraid that he would be left behind because of his young age, "I can also work!" ”
At a young age, he looked like a serious person and a big ghost, which made Shen Wan'er laugh when she looked at it.
"Then you can go ahead and wipe the table."
Shen Wan'er doesn't like to be used to children, and only by helping to work since she was a child can she know and understand the hard work of her family.
Just because the family is doing well doesn't make them feel that they deserve everything.
Erzhuang twisted his little body non-stop to work.
Don't look at how small he is, he will make Shen Wan'er's legs long, but the work is still similar, and at a glance, he knows that he has done it, Shen Wan'er looks at it and is satisfied.
"If you help me clean up the yard, then I'll have new clothes to wear."
Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang's eyes lit up when they heard this, "Really? ”
Before Shen Wan'er nodded, Da Zhuang quickly shook his head and said, "It's still not necessary, it's not easy for the second sister to make money, and I and Er Zhuang have clothes to wear." ”
During the Chinese New Year, new clothes were made for them, and they were still muslin!
The two of them had never worn muslin clothes from birth to before entering the Shen family, and it would be good to be able to make burlap.
They rejoiced as much as they could wear such good clothes for the first time, and at the same time knew that such clothes would not be cheap.
Other people's children may not be able to make a burlap dress for a year, after all, children grow quickly.
The clothes made this year may not be able to be worn next year, it is too wasteful to do it every year, most of them are at the age when they can run, and the family makes a wide coat, so that they can be worn for several years!
This is still a family that pampers children, a little less favored, that is, the sister wears the younger brother and so on, so it can't be worn and left for the nephew of the next generation to wear, a dress I don't know how many years to wear.
Everyone is like that, and no one thinks there's anything wrong with it.
Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang came to the Shen family to be able to wear a dress that was only given to them, although they wanted new clothes, but they were also considerate that it was not easy for Shen Wan'er to make money.
Shen Wan'er couldn't help but feel a little moved when she heard this, looked at Da Zhuang with a smile, and said, "I've already bought the fabric, wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't make it for you?" ”
The clothes made for the New Year are winter clothes, and now that spring has begun, can't the whole family wear new clothes, and only wear old clothes for the big and strong two strong, right?
Those who don't know think that the Shen family bullied them.
Hearing this, Da Zhuang Erzhuang hesitated for a moment and said, "Then you can still do it for Daddy." ”
The fabrics for the boys are probably only those few colors, and if they don't want them, Shen Da can still have more clothes.
They understood that they were not Shen Da's sons, Shen Da was able to accept them, and it was already great to have delicious food every day, so they didn't dare to ask for more.
When Shen Wan'er heard this, she was moved and pity in her heart, "You two are small, even if you make clothes by yourself, it doesn't cost much fabric, you can use the leftovers of our clothes to make them." ”
People who know a little bit about the common sense of clothing making understand that Erzhuang is young, and it is reasonable to use leftovers to make clothes, if you do this for Da Zhuang, it can only be used as a hundred cloths.
But the two little boys had never been in contact with this aspect, and they also believed in the words of the second sister, and when they heard Shen Wan'er say this, they accepted it at once.
The leftovers are going to be thrown away anyway, so it's better to make some clothes for them, and let their mother do it anyway.
"That'...... Even if you don't have it, it doesn't matter, sister, don't force it. ”
Da Zhuang looked like a little adult, which made Shen Wan'er laugh in her heart.
"Okay, let's start doing things now, I'll cook and eat when my mother comes back in a while."
If you don't clean it up quickly, you won't have a place to eat for a while, and you'll really be blind.
"Then let's hurry."
When Hu Yueyue came back with Shen Da, she saw Shen Wan'er with two small ones busy in the courtyard.
Looking at this scene, Shen Da felt happy in his heart, but he was worried that Hu Yueyue felt that Shen Wan'er had bullied her two younger brothers, so she pretended to scold Shen Wan'er: "Cleaning a yard also allows people to help, how old are Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang?" ”
Shen Wan'er shook the rag and looked straight at Shen Da with her eyes, and before she could open her mouth, Hu Yueyue hurriedly stepped forward to play the round.
"How do you speak? Da Zhuang is almost ten years old now, and Er Zhuang is almost four years old, why can't he do work? Da Zhuang, hurry up and pour the water, don't let your second sister get tired. ”
How can Shen Wan'er also be a girl's family, and she is not much stronger than Da Da, why can't she help with work?
Hu Yueyue gave the steps, and Shen Da came down, "I'll go and rest for a while, cook and call me." ”
helped carry hundreds of catties of rice and noodles, which was really tiring.
Shen Wan'er usually buys these things and asks someone to help deliver them, so Shen Da hasn't done such a job for a long time.
In addition, when people reach middle age, their physical strength is not as good as before, and they are too tired to do this little work.
