"W-where did this come from?"

Shen Shuang was stunned when she saw the red Chaotian pepper in the back basket, she looked at the Chaotian pepper in a daze, and then looked up at the tall little Orion in front of her.

It was only today that she realized that the little hunter was really tall, and the muscles shown by the sleeves in his hands were also very powerful, and it seemed that it was effortless to carry the half-basket of Chaotian pepper with one hand.

When the little hunter heard Shen Shuang's question, he stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Xishan, who understood, "You went up the mountain so early to pick so many Chaotian peppers?" ”

Little Orion bowed her head, and then handed the basket to Shen Shuang, she felt that she was a little sluggish, and stretched out her finger to herself, "These are all for me?" ”

Little Orion pursed his lips and nodded hesitantly, in fact, when he picked these Chaotian peppers, he was a little worried that Shen Shuang would dislike this as something he picked so much, so he refused him, but he remembered that she was so rare yesterday, and these red things were still early in the morning, and found more than a dozen wild Chaotian peppers according to his memory, and then picked them to give her.

In the next second, Shen Shuang really retreated as he expected, but the person who retreated didn't notice the gloomy sadness in his eyes.

"No, no, I can't ask for it."

After Shen Shuang finished speaking, he added in a timely manner, "It must have taken a lot of time for you to pick so many Chaotian peppers, right?" I still say what I said yesterday, and I won't be punished for nothing. ”

Little Orion's expression, which had become a little gloomy, suddenly shone again, and thinking that Shen Shuang was embarrassed to take his things instead of disgusting, he silently poured those Chaotian peppers directly into the back basket placed at her feet.

Shen Shuang: "......"

She was a little speechless and a little distressed, "Stuffy gourd, why do you love to send things to others so much?" Why do you want to send me things every day, I don't have anything, I can't be polite. ”

Who knew that the person in front of him actually showed a shallow smile and waved his hand at her, the meaning was obvious, saying that he didn't need it.

She didn't care about what he expressed, she looked at the smile of the guy in front of her, although that smile was shorter than the fleeting time of fireworks, but it was also caught by Shen Shuang accurately, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva without thinking, thinking of the purpose of her coming here today, "Then, then I'll catch more river clams for you today?" ”

Little Orion didn't say yes, but motioned for her to follow into the kitchen.

Xiaoshan on the side was also dumbfounded when he saw those Chaotian peppers, but he knew how delicious the dishes made by those Chaotian peppers were, and now he was naturally very happy to see it, and when he saw his sister and Brother Orion communicating, he also took the little wolf cub and followed him to the kitchen in vain.

Shen Shuang walked into the kitchen of the little Orion's house again, walked to the three wooden barrels, and saw three wooden barrels full of river clams!

Shen Shuang turned to look at the person who had made a surprise again, "When did you catch it?" Why did you catch so much? ”

Little Orion frowned subconsciously when he heard this, a little annoyed that he couldn't talk to her, and he didn't know how to express his meaning, his mouth moved and said the two words in the morning, but to his surprise, Shen Shuang actually understood.

Shen Shuang saw this person's mouth move, so he asked, "You mean, this is all caught in the morning?" At this time, early in the morning, you went up the mountain to pick Chaotian peppers and fished so many river clams, how did you do it? ”

Seeing the little hunter nodding, Shen Shuang frowned and felt a little headache, "Hey, I see that all the clams in this creek have been fished out by you, right?" How are you going to let me catch clams and give them to you? ”

Little Orion: "......"

Xiao Shan stood aside and listened to the words of the two of them, only knowing that she was grinning, looking a little silly, in the face of a big and a small person who had no way to talk to her, Shen Shuang was a little broken, but she felt that she was slowly getting used to it.

"Since there are so many river clams today, then I don't have to catch any more, I'll fry more river clams at noon and eat them together, right?"

The taste of yesterday's river clam meat still made one big and one small aftertaste, and they naturally didn't have any objections at this time.

"Then it's decided, now let the river clams spit out the sand first, and I'll come here to fry the river clams again at noon, I came out today to find some wild vegetables and Chaotian peppers, since you sent me so many Chaotian peppers, I also save trouble."

Shen Shuang also borrowed a few round dustpans from Xiao Orion's house to dry Chaotian peppers, anyway, this big basket of Chaotian peppers must be dried and stored, and you can also take pepper seeds to plant, thinking that she can often eat spicy in the future, her face has a little more smile.

Shen Shuang dried the pepper and took the hill to find wild vegetables, of course, the two sisters and brothers did not go far, no one led them up the mountain for fear of insecurity, and there are a lot of mountain goods at the foot of the mountain here, so there is no need to go far.

Little Orion originally wanted to follow to help, but he was afraid that following Shen Shuang would make people misunderstand, so he dispelled this idea, so he simply went to the bamboo forest to cut some bamboo, planning to get some chopsticks and weave a few baskets to pack things.

When he followed the old Orion before, he still learned a lot of crafts, and in his impression, he couldn't cook or weave anything with bamboo, and the old Orion taught him by hand.

Xiaoshan's main purpose is still those sour and astringent wild fruits, Shen Shuangzhen has no interest in those wild fruits that can sour your teeth, and now she doesn't want to pick them when she sees them after the freshness passes, if she can, she wants to get some jam.

But sugar is needed to make jam, which is a rare thing in the countryside, at least so far she has only seen the bowl of sugar water that Xiao Wan helped her milk brew is related to sugar.

When the two sisters and brothers were busy at the foot of the mountain, in the town at this moment, the backyard door of a rice shop was opened with a creak, and a girl dressed as a maid was welcomed into the door by Wan Shi very happily, "Chun Tao, you are here, come in quickly, oops, what delicious food have you brought to your mother?" ”

Shen Chuntao carried a blue burden in her hand and followed her mother Wan Shi into the house and sat down at the tea table, Wan Shi stared at the bulging burden, but he still knew how to pour tea for his daughter.

Shen Chuntao put the burden on the table, took a sip of tea, turned his head to look at the furnishings in the room, and then looked at Wan's who was bent on unpacking the burden, "Mother, my third brother and third sister-in-law are not here?" ”

Wan replied without raising his head, "Your third sister-in-law and her father are visiting relatives today, your third brother is in front to help look after the shop, and your two nephews and nieces are in the courtyard next door." ”

Shen Chuntao pursed her lips very displeased when she heard this, and her voice was soft and a little unhappy, "Why did my third sister-in-law ask my third brother to help look after the shop?" Isn't this delaying my third brother's examination for Xiucai? What's wrong with this rice shop being closed for a day? ”

Wan Shi saw the dim sum and melon seeds in the baggage, stretched out his hand to grab them and eat them, and waved his hand with confidence when he heard this, "It's not in the way, your third brother is smart, it's okay to delay for a day." ”

Shen Chuntao still wanted to say, Wan Shi swallowed a piece of snack and took her hand and spoke first, "Chuntao, how are you inquiring?" Is the rich man of the town really willing to go to the village to see each other? Your aunt is very unreliable, and the people who introduced me are all poor men, and there is an old man who is toothless and older than your father, and I was almost scolded by your father. ”

Shen Chuntao's mouth twitched in disgust when she heard this, but she could also imagine what kind of scene it was, she rolled her eyes with disdain on her face, "Mother, you dare to respond to the old man who is older than my father, aren't you afraid of gossip from the villagers?" ”

Embarrassment flashed on Wan's face, what happened yesterday made her lose face, and she naturally didn't want to mention it more.

"I, I'm still afraid of those long-tongued women in the village? You quickly tell your mother whether the rich man has been in contact with me, you don't know how much that dead fat pig pokes my heart, and every sentence can be used to anger me, and when I marry her to that big fat fool, see how she still gets in my way! ”

Although Shen Chuntao had never seen Shen Shuang, Wan's description made her completely disgusted with Shen Shuang, and she had always thought highly of herself, as the maid of a big family in the town, she had never looked down on her eldest brother and sister-in-law who worked in the village very much.

"Didn't I just come to tell you about this today, I had a lot of connections to meet that Master Wang, Master Wang heard that Shen Shuang had grown up in the capital since he was a child, so he agreed to meet him, so tomorrow he will send his housekeeper to Xishan Village with me to see people, if the housekeeper of the Wang family thinks it will be successful, then this matter can be done."

Wan's eyes lit up, and he felt that the silver was beckoning to him, "Really? Will the rich man Wang dislike the fat pig for being too fat? ”

Shen Chuntao pursed her lips and said with a disdainful expression, "What do you dislike, isn't that Young Master Wang also fat like a pig?" But mother, if my father and eldest brother knew about it, would they agree? At the beginning, you said that he was unwilling to let the eldest brother throw Xiaoshan's little mute into the mountains to feed the wolves, and I don't think he is happy to sell his daughter for money today, a dead brain? ”

Wan's face sank, and she felt that her eldest son Shen Musheng didn't seem to be as obedient as before in the past few days, and she was really not sure that he could listen to her as a mother, and there was also a mourning star Xu Shi.

"This matter, I won't tell your eldest brother and your father for the time being, let's see if this family business can be done first, don't you know that the dead fat pig looks fat, his head is very shrewd, and he didn't make me angry when he fanned the flames at home all day long......"

Wan scolded and scolded Shen Shuang again, and Shen Chuntao was impatient when he heard it, making an excuse to leave.

Wan thought of the rich Wang family that his daughter said, and thought that he had nothing to do at home, so he went out for a walk, and asked people where the palace was, but who knew that they asked several people one after another, and they all waved their hands and said that they didn't know to let her leave quickly.

Wan Shi was not discouraged, he walked around and turned to the door of the palace by himself, and saw the mansion that was not much more magnificent than the rice shop of his third daughter-in-law, Wan Shi saw that his eyes were dazzled, thinking that if he could climb the relationship with such a rich man, it would be like flying sky.

Shen Shuang didn't know that she was being calculated to sell again, she wandered around the foot of the mountain and found a lot of fresh wild vegetables, for example, she saw a few toon trees by the stream near the mountain, so she pinched a lot of toon tree shoots and planned to take them back to make cold toon sprouts.

In addition, Shen Shuang also found a few Chaotian pepper seedlings near the Chaotian pepper he saw yesterday, so he dug up those pepper seedlings with the soil, and planned to transplant them back to the vegetable garden to plant.

She moved slowly, and it was noon when she picked these wild vegetables, thinking that she would go to the little hunter's house to fry the river clams, so she also beckoned the hill that was catching insects and playing there, just because she shouted a little loud, and Xiao Wan, who was cutting vegetables on the nearby hillside, heard it, and hurriedly looked up and followed the source of the sound.
