In the end, there was only Xiao Wan's who cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks at the table, and she was naturally reluctant to let her son do housework, otherwise she would have to be reprimanded by the child's father and in-laws, so she could only squat honestly by the water tank to wash the dishes.

She rubbed the dishes angrily, and her heart was even more angry, thinking that she had never touched the work of washing dishes since she gave birth to her son Zhuzi, plus cutting pigweed and other work, Xiao Wanshi had begun to doubt life, and vaguely felt that things were getting more and more wrong, but she couldn't remember how things became like this.

Xiao Wanshi rubbed the bowl, suddenly thought of something, and soon became energetic again, as long as she sold more peach gum, plus the child's father had a job to sit in the town, she would soon be able to move to the town to live, and then she would marry her eldest son to a beautiful and decent town girl as a daughter-in-law, marry her daughter to a decent rich young master, and let the younger son go to the town school to study, and she didn't have to cut pigweed to serve the two old things, just enjoy the happiness.

Shen Shuang came out of the house after calming down, and just saw Xiao Wanshi sitting by the water tank and laughing like a fool, almost didn't scare her and Xiaoshan, she didn't look for bad luck, thinking that her second aunt would only smile toothlessly when she daydreamed.

She was angry, she didn't expect her to be angry, Shen Shuang was a little depressed, she was comforted by her father just now, and she almost thought that she was going to become like before.

Of course, she is not the Shen Shuang she used to be, but she will not make a fuss at home because of anger, but she feels that doing these many things is simply thankless, obviously wanting to make life at home better, but who would have thought that she would be forced to be busier, which simply fuels their greed.

"Alas, Xiaoshan, is it okay for Sister Ming'er to take you to the town, and in vain, do you want to go with you?"

Shen Shuang walked around the house, walked to the vegetable garden at the back, found a big stone to sit down, and talked to Xiaoshan who was teasing the little wolf cub on the side.

Shen Shuang reached out and picked it up and put it on his lap, and then reached out to touch his brother's head, "Xiaoshan, look at Baibai, how smart you are, you can still understand what I say." ”

Then she deliberately said, "Xiaoshan, do you think that if I throw Bai Bai in the vat tomorrow and lock it up, will it be angry in vain?" ”

The little wolf cub writhed on Shen Shuang's legs, screaming angrily, as if to say angry, why not angry, this stinky woman actually wanted to throw it into a vat and lock it up, obviously a second ago she said that she was going to take it to the town.

Shen Shuang was really surprised, she was very sure that this little thing should be able to understand her words, but she hadn't specially trained it, thinking that this little thing would grow up slowly in the future, maybe it would be smarter, Shen Shuang hurriedly comforted it, "If you make trouble again, I will really throw you into the vat tomorrow." ”

The little wolf cub stopped howling, and hung his head in frustration, Xiaoshan actually thought it was funny to see his sister teasing him in vain.

Shen Shuang looked at her younger brother, "Xiaoshan, tomorrow my sister will take you to see the doctor, my sister believes that Xiaoshan will definitely be able to speak, but you usually have to work hard to practice pronunciation, okay?" ”

Xiaoshan nodded hurriedly, in fact, he was also eager to speak, talk to his sister and father. He can talk to the little wolf cub and talk to Brother Shi, and when the time comes, he still wants to study, and he has memorized several poems taught to him by his sister, and he can't wait to read them out to his sister.

It's just that everyone says he's a little mute, and he doesn't know if he can really speak.

After nightfall, Xishan Village fell into a deep sleep.

On this side of the main house, Old Man Shen couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and Wan, who was about to fall asleep on the side, became irritable when he heard the voice, "Dead old man, what are you doing, do you want to sleep?" ”

Old man Shen turned over again, there was something in his heart, he was thinking about what Shen Shuang and his second son said at the dinner table, "Old woman, do you think we can really sell that peach gum tomorrow?" ”

Wan Shi closed his eyes and was very impatient, "What nonsense are you talking about at night, ten taels of silver and a pound of peach gum, why can't you sell it?" Don't listen to Xiaoshuang's nonsense, if she dares to let us sit in the Jiang family's carriage, I will break her legs. ”

Old man Shen frowned and simply sat up, "No, tomorrow morning, I will still go to the village chief's house to borrow an ox cart, and pull that peach gum to the town to sell, if the peach gum is directly transported to Yunlai Lou, it will not be good to talk to that Jiang Gongzi." ”

When Wan Shi heard this, his drowsiness ran out all of a sudden, and he quickly sat up, "Old man, what do you mean?" What's not easy to talk about, that Miss Jiang has a good relationship with Xiaoshuang's girl, what's wrong with taking their carriage? Besides, what if we borrow the village chief's oxcart and are seen by the villagers? If you want me to say that they are all old people, they don't teach their daughters, and when the good girls just came home, I saw that they were very soft, why did they become the troublemakers now? ”

When Wan Shi said this, he was very puzzled in his heart, obviously forgetting the incident of 'Shen Shuang' hanging his neck, Old Man Shen glanced at his old wife in the dark, and didn't bother to say so much to her, "It's so decided, tomorrow the native will also have to go to work in the town, so let him drive the ox cart to pull us over." ”

Wan Shi thought that this would be done, "It's done, it's done, go to sleep." ”

In the second room, Xiao Wanshi was crying with Shen Tusheng with tears and snot at this time, "Shen Tusheng, I, Wan Hongxing, have been married to you for so many years, and I have no merit and hard work to give birth to a child, you let me wash the dishes in front of the whole family today, what kind of heart do you have?" ”

"Do you know how hard it is to cut pigweed, look at my hands, they have become so rough that I can't even hold the embroidery needle steadily, and now I have to wash the dishes, and I still have to wash the clothes by the stream every day, do I owe you anything?"

Shen Tusheng is very tired today, especially when he quietly runs to drink flower wine, and he sees a lot of beautiful ladies in the restaurant, he is very moved, he originally felt that his mother-in-law is a yellow-faced woman, and now he has to listen to her command, he is impatient.

"What are you all talking about? Don't let the eldest brother and dad hear it, you mother-in-law, which mother-in-law doesn't need to wash clothes, wash dishes, and cut pigweed? ”

Xiao Wanshi was so angry when he heard this, and he was about to start a fight with Shen Tusheng, but Shen Cuini sat up and shouted at the top of the compartment, "Mother, can you stop arguing in the middle of the night, and let people not sleep?" ”

"What are you talking about, you stinky girl? You talk back to me, too. ”

Shen Tusheng was so troubled that he couldn't help it, so he got up and hugged the pillow to sleep on the kang of the eldest son and the younger son, but he was still troubled by Xiao Wan's all night, and even Shen Shuang's side heard the movement, and felt that her second aunt's temperament was really amazing.

The result of this overnight trouble was that no one could get up in the second room the next day, Wan Shi saw that his second son didn't get up in the sky, so he hurriedly went to knock on the door, "Tusheng, why can't you afford it?" Hurry up and go to the village chief's house to borrow an ox cart, your father and I have to go to the town. ”

The second room was quiet, there was no movement, Shen Shuang came back from running and saw her milk lying on the door calling someone, it couldn't help but look a little funny.

"Born? The second one's family? The pillar opens the door for milk? Trini, stone? ”

Wan called all the people in the second room and there was no movement, and in the end, Shen Zhuzi, who was obviously sleep-deprived, got up and opened the door for Wan.

He was also in a bad spirit, and whispered, "Milk, my mother has been making trouble all night, and my father just fell asleep." ”

Wan's is the kind of sleep that can't wake up as soon as she sleeps, so I really don't know that Xiao Wan's made a fuss last night, and her big voice sounded when she heard this, "What's the matter?" What's the fuss? What are you making all day long, I don't know if your father still has to work? Go and call your dad up. ”

Shen Zhuzi had no choice but to go into the house to call his father, but Shen Tusheng was stunned and didn't move, so he had to turn around and come out, and Wan Shi went into the house and went directly to lift the quilt, "Tusheng, you still have to go to work, what are you sleeping, when is it?" ”

Shen Tusheng squinted his eyes and sat up, looking impatient, "Mother, I just fell asleep just now, why don't you let the eldest brother go, what kind of oxcart do you borrow at night?" ”

Wan's loud voice sounded, "It's a big night, it's going to be dawn, you hurry up and borrow an ox cart to pull me and your father to the town to sell peach gum." ”

Shen Shuang was helping her mother watch the fire in the kitchen, and in the quiet morning, the voice of her milk was particularly loud, sounding like tearing down the house, and even Xiaoshan, who usually slept late, was noisy, squinted into the kitchen, and was rushed to wash by Shen Shuang.

Shen Shuang heard her grandmother say that she borrowed the ox cart and knew that her grandmother listened to her words that she was unwilling to let them hitchhike, of course she was very happy, otherwise she would have to explain to Uncle Mo at that time.

When she finished breakfast, it was already dawn, and her father came back from the stream with a large bucket of river clams, all wet, and the whole person was still trembling, and she and her mother were very distressed, "Child, father, hurry up and drink a bowl of ginger soup." ”

Shen Shuang stood in the yard and didn't speak, this spring morning the stream was very cold, the dew was heavy, Shen Shuang didn't get up when her father went to the river, she regretted a little why she said that river clams can also be sold for money, so that her father went to fish for river clams early in the morning, thankless, and was scolded by her milk when he came back.

"Boss, what's the matter with you, you didn't come back until it was dawn, how did you get this barrel?"

Wan's is planning to take this river clam and peach gum to sell to Man Fulou, seeing that the sky is about to dawn, even if there is an ox cart, it is estimated that it will be a little late to arrive in the town, plus there are really not many river clams, she is really angry, and she scolds people directly.

Shen Musheng was scolded silently, Shen Shuang looked as if she felt that her hard-hearted father last night seemed to appear in her dream, of course, she didn't plan to be silent.

"Milk, this spring cold is very bad, my father is wet, shivering with cold, the stream is black and linen, where can I catch river clams?"

Of course, she didn't add a sentence: even if it's a bucket of river clams, you can't sell it.

Shen Shuang couldn't hold back this, otherwise he would definitely be scolded.

Seeing her second uncle squinting his eyes and driving an ox cart to support her grandmother and a bucket of river clams, and leaving the house with peach gum in three baskets, Shen Shuang stretched and went back to the house to prepare, waiting for Uncle Mo to pick them up.
