Garden.

Xu hurriedly ran to find Shen Shuang, who was watering the vegetables, "Xiaoshuang." ”

Shen Shuang wiped her sweat, stopped her movements and stood up, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" What to run? ”

"Mother has something to tell you."

Shen Shuang was a little strange, "Mother, you say." ”

Xu Shi was a little hesitant, but she felt that she couldn't pretend that she hadn't heard this, "Xiaoshuang, you milk her, it seems that you asked Miss Jiang for silver." ”

Shen Shuang frowned, "Silver? ”

Xu Shi told her that she saw Wan Shi coming out of the house and hiding in the house with Xiao Wan Shi and whispering about silver, she was a little anxious, "Xiaoshuang, Miss Jiang sent so many things to our family today, and bought so many good things such as pork and chicken, we can't ask people for silver." ”

Shen Shuang knew that there would be a moth, and she was not much surprised when she heard this, "Then how much silver did she take from my milk?" ”

Xu frowned, "I just heard it outside the house, and it seems to say that it is twenty taels." ”

Shen Shuang didn't speak after listening, and looked at Xu Shi for a while, "Mother, don't worry about this matter, I don't know, I'll deal with it." ”

Xu's face was full of anxiety, but she knew her mother-in-law's temperament, and she would never be willing to take out the money she had in hand, "Xiaoshuang, what are you going to do?" ”

"Do you know this?"

"Your grandfather seems to have gone out for a walk, I don't know."

Shen Shuang nodded, and told her mother to feed the chickens, as if she didn't know about it, and after she finished watering the vegetables, she went to find her grandfather, Old Man Shen.

Old man Shen likes to go out for a walk when the sky is just dark, and the old people in the village also like to gather under the big tree at the head of the village to talk, of course, today's topic is still the matter of a distinguished guest from the Shen family.

As soon as the old man Shen arrived at the entrance of the village today, he was surrounded by a group of people to inquire about the situation, and he was simply welcomed like never before, and he felt that Jiang Zitong's arrival and Shen Shuang's granddaughter had given him a long face, and the smile on his face never came down during the whole process, and the whole person's footsteps were floating when he went home.

Shen Shuang walked around the entrance of the village, and happened to meet the old man Shen who was about to go home on the road, so he took a few steps forward and called him.

At this time, the sky is already completely dark, and the moon in the sky has passed the full moon, so the road is not very bright, and people can't see it very clearly, Shen Shuang is a black shadow in the eyes of Old Man Shen at this time, and he is almost not startled at this time, but he often walks at night, and he can distinguish people by his voice because of his bad eyes, "Is it Xiaoshuang?" ”

Shen Shuang quickly walked up to him, "Master, it's me." ”

Old man Shen caressed his heart, "Why did you come here?" Where are you going? ”

Shen Shuang didn't beat around the bush, "Master, I have something to look for you." ”

Old man Shen was a little strange, "Cheng, say as you go." ”

Shen Shuang followed him and said the matter directly, she didn't want to wait until he came home to say that it was inconvenient, she didn't want to be chased and scolded by her grandmother for a period of time because of the twenty taels of silver, and she didn't want to live a day of being hated.

"Master, my grandmother asked Miss Jiang for twenty taels of silver."

When Old Man Shen heard Shen Shuang's words, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, he originally thought that he would warn his wife that she could be honest, but now it seems that it has no effect at all, but in front of Shen Shuang, he still has to pretend not to know, "What? Is there such a thing? I"

Shen Shuang knew from his tone that he should know, but as long as he was not an accomplice, he would say the next words with peace of mind.

"Master, I think you also know what Miss Jiang brought to our house today, but my grandmother actually asked people for silver, which is going to use the twenty taels of silver to buy out the friendship between people and us."

"I won't hide it from you, Miss Jiang and her brother's family are both developing in the capital, and their brother and sister also took over the Yunlai Building in the town, they are naturally not rare for these twenty taels of silver, but if our family loses its stomach in such a small matter, it is estimated that it will be difficult to talk about anything in the future."

Old man Shen knew that the Jiang family was a big family, and he didn't care about the twenty taels of silver at all, he originally thought so, but now after listening to his granddaughter's words, he hurriedly promised that he must get the twenty taels of silver back.

Of course, Shen Shuang also picked herself up by the way, so that her master would not confess her.

Shen Shuang didn't know how her father pulled the silver out of her grandmother's hand, but she really felt that her father was a knowledgeable person who could go far with his eyes.

Because Jiang Zitong was there, there was an oil lamp in the house, and when Shen Shuang entered the house, she saw that she was excited, the precious oil lamp, and she only had this treatment when Jiang Zitong was there, and she didn't delay, and directly returned the twenty taels of silver she just got to Jiang Zitong.

"Sister Shen, what does this mean?"

Shen Shuang took off her shoes and prepared to take a hot bath, "This is the silver that was returned to you, my grandmother asked you for it." ”

Jiang Zitong was stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly put the silver aside, "How do you know?" Sister Shen, it's just twenty taels of silver, you can just take it, you don't have to return it to me. ”

Shen Shuang was categorical, "If you want to pay it back, you don't need money to come to my house to live." ”

Jiang Zitong automatically took back the silver when she heard this tone, she always felt that Shen Shuang was very aura, "Then it's done, I'll take it." ”

On the other hand, after Old Man Shen asked Wan to take out the silver, Wan didn't dare to say anything, but seeing that Old Man Shen was angry, she kept wiping her tears to explain why she wanted to take the twenty taels of silver, "Old man, this silver was really stuffed to me by the Jiang girl, I didn't ask her to ask for it." I don't believe you can ask the second family, I really didn't plan to ask for it after listening to your words, but I don't want to offend the nobles. ”

Old man Shen didn't believe Wan's words at all, and he was even more angry when he heard that she was still lying, he hadn't blushed with Wan's for decades, and he was scolding Wan's tears at this time.

"Why do you want to deceive people? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking? You are losing money in your eyes, for the twenty taels of silver, you are planning to cut off people from dealing with our old Shen family, you said that your eyelids are so shallow, in case the third child needs help at that time, what can we do if they don't help us? ”

Wan Shi was a little unconcerned, "What can a girl's family help with?" Why is the third child promising, and can he still rely on a girl's family? ”

"People are big families from the capital, and even the dilapidated Yunlai Building was taken over by her family, do you think they have the ability?"

Wan Shi listened to it and felt reasonable, but he was a little afraid when he weighed it in his heart.

Old man Shen was too lazy to take care of her, "You remember to apologize to Miss Jiang tomorrow, as for the remaining three pieces of cloth, one for the old family, one for the second family, the third daughter-in-law has silver, and it is not rare to find a piece of cloth, you see how to deal with it." ”

Wan Shi listened, and could only nod his head reluctantly.

Xiao Wan's side didn't know that the twenty taels of silver had been returned to the original owner, but she was still unwilling to catch anything, thinking about when she would ask Jiang Zitong alone for silver, maybe she would give it too, but no one said anything about her careful thoughts, she was talking to Shen Tusheng who had just eaten that big bowl of meat about today's events.

"Child, father, how about you let that Jiang girl help you find a job? I heard that her family is in the town, and I don't know what she does for a living, but I don't think it's bad money, so why don't you go to the town tomorrow, and stay at home so that your eldest brother can help ask. ”

Shen Tusheng has always had an idea, when Shen Shuang and Shen Musheng were sent back by this carriage before, he had actually beaten the idea of the owner of this carriage, but he didn't expect that it would not be long before someone automatically sent him to the door, and he also hit it off with Xiao Wan's at this time.

"Cheng, I'll ask my eldest brother to help ask tomorrow, maybe there will be a real drama."

Xiao Wanshi discussed again and said, "My mother divided the things that Miss Jiang brought over into several parts, all of which are good things. The child's father, I plan to go back to my parents' house tomorrow, take it back and let my father and mother taste it, let's get five packs of Meiyuan Ji dim sum, and a lot of candy melon seeds, what do you think? ”

Shen Tusheng was silent, but he didn't object, and Xiao Wan's family also settled down, after all, he was still not very happy about subsidizing his mother's family.

Early the next morning, Shen Shuang tiptoed up from the comfortable kang and got out of bed to run and exercise, because Jiang Zitong slept on the kang with her, so Xiaoshan did not sleep at the end of the kang, but she still tried not to wake her up.

After coming back from the run, her mother had already gotten up in the dark to boil water, and Shen Shuang also helped cook porridge with rice.

Shen Shuang asked her mother to chop a chicken that she hadn't eaten yesterday into pieces, and cut some lean meat and marinated it in salt and oil, and not long after the porridge opened, she poured the chicken and lean meat into the cauldron together, and cooked a large pot full of chicken porridge.

Today's breakfast cost a lot of rice, but this is what she reported yesterday, otherwise her mother would really be reluctant, after all, the amount of rice in one morning should be their amount for several days.

When the sky is exposed to the white of the fish belly, the porridge has been cooked, and Xu's also uses an earthen porcelain bowl to put it on the stove to cool, plus the steamed sweet potatoes and corn nests, it is definitely a very rich breakfast.

After feeding the chickens, Wan Shi patrolled to the kitchen, and when she saw a bowl full of chicken porridge without any porridge and water, her eyes were wide, and she saw that the stones and small mountains on the side were still gnawing chicken, so she turned her head to look at Shen Shuang who was sitting on the side, her face was very embarrassed, "What are you cooking?" How is there still meat in it? ”

"Milk, I told my grandfather yesterday, let's take rice and cook chicken this morning, this is a chicken left over from yesterday, and some lean meat and vegetables."

Wan Shi was so surprised when he heard this that he shouted directly at the top of his throat, "What are you talking about? This porridge actually puts a chicken and lean meat? Then why do you cook such a little porridge, why don't you put more brown rice in it and cook it together? Look at this, why is there no water? It's so thick, you're too wasteful of food. What a sin, you scumbag, what are you doing? ”
