Chapter 50: A Surprise from the Little Orion

Shen Musheng stood aside and frowned, although he always felt that it was nothing for the same family to do more work, and as the boss of the family, he should do more, but now his daughter's words woke him up, and doing it blindly would only make his children like maids. Shen Musheng, who was thinking like this, glanced at Xu Shi with guilt on his face.

Shen Shuang looked at her father's face and knew that he knew in his heart, although her father was silent these days, he didn't have anything to say about her, a new girl, but the filial piety in her bones was also deep-rooted, so she could only start with Xiao Wan's family, at least fight fairly.

Old man Shen saw his son's reaction and knew that he must give an explanation for this matter today, in fact, he has always disliked his second daughter-in-law, but his wife always cheats and plays tricks when she protects her, so he can only turn a blind eye.

He took a deep look at his granddaughter Shen Shuang, who had a stubborn face, and the impression of her good cooking skills that he had established yesterday was now completely collapsed, and he felt that she was just a troublemaker, "Second brother, you can stay at home and clean the pigsty and chicken pen today." ”

Xiao Wan felt that the sky was falling, and when he opened his mouth, he shouted sharply, "Dad, how can that happen?" The pigsty and chicken pen are stinky, why do you want me to clean them? ”

Shen Shuang rolled her eyes, this person dared to really regard himself as the wife of a rich man, "Master, my mother has already cleaned the pigsty and chicken pen today, you let the second aunt clean it now......"

Shen Shuang didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was very obvious, Shen Musheng on the side also looked a little unhappy, and the old man Shen felt bad when he saw it, so he could only look at the wall with the cigarette in his hand and roar, "Don't make any noise, the second one, you will go to hunt pigweed and feed the pigs today." ”

Shen Shuang didn't intend to give up and continue to add fuel to the fire, "Master, does the second aunt only need to fight today's pigweed?" What to do with these dirty clothes? Our family is a poor family, you are tired and tired every day, what if the people in the village know that the second aunt is raised as the wife of a rich man, what can I do if Brother Zhuzi's daughter-in-law will learn from it in the future? ”

Shen Shuang felt that she had provoked enough today, and she was also a shrewd person to see that her father was a shrewd person, and she stopped ordering some words.

Xiao Wanshi was so angry that her chest was burning, if it weren't for her son pulling her to give her a look, she would have wanted to kill Shen Shuang to vent her anger.

The old man Shen on the side lowered his head and felt inexplicably uncomfortable, he was already a handful of years old and still had to go to the ground, but this married daughter-in-law didn't have to do anything every day, what was the reason? Although the granddaughter's words are a bit harsh, and she looks like a troublemaker, her words also have some truth.

The people in the courtyard were waiting for Old Man Shen to speak, and even Shen Cuini and Shi in the house were standing next to the window to eavesdrop when they heard the movement, and Xiaoshan was tightly pulling the corner of his mother's clothes, although he didn't understand the words of the adults, but he was also inexplicably nervous.

After a long time, Shen Shuang saw her father put down the chimney, looked around at her son, daughter-in-law and grandson in front of her and began to divide the labor, "Old family, in the future, you will be responsible for cooking rice and taking care of the pigsty and chicken pen, and you will also be responsible for picking wild vegetables." As for the second family, since they are afraid of getting dirty, then you are responsible for beating pigweed to feed the pigs, picking wild vegetables and coming back to feed the chickens. ”

Xiao Wanshi heard that he was going to fight pigweed, and this kind of thunderbolt on a sunny day naturally wanted to resist, "Dad, I ......"

Old man Shen waved his hand and directly interrupted her impatiently, "What are you?" The old Shen family doesn't raise waste, you don't want to fight pigweed, let your mother's brother take you back. ”

"Boss, pillar, carry a hoe to the field, it looks like it's going to rain this day, and you have to turn the ground and plant beans."

Shen Shuang saw her father get up and walk out of the yard directly, and she didn't care about Xiao Wan's who was still making trouble, and it didn't take long for her and her mother to be left in the yard, and Xiao Wan's had already chased her out and begged her master to take back the arrangement just now.

Shen Shuang saw her mother stunned and pushed her arm, "Mother, you go wash your clothes first, Xiaoshan and I will go out to pick wild vegetables after feeding the chickens." ”

"Oh, okay, my mother will go wash the clothes first."

Xu Shi nodded stunned, picked up the wooden basin and walked out, she looked at her daughter and stopped talking, and finally didn't say anything, thinking that she didn't have to beat pigweed in the future, this is just like a dream, to say that although the piglets in the family are still small, they have to bother to play a lot of tender melon seeds a few times a day.

Xiao Wanshi chased out a mile and was finally scolded by Old Man Shen and rushed back, even Shen Zhuzi didn't stand on her side, she couldn't help wiping her tears when she thought of her hard life in the future, not only because she had to fight pigweed every day, but she was also afraid that she would be ridiculed by the women in the village.

The women in Xishan Village are most envious of her for being idle and not having to do anything, she has even said that she can move to the town in less than two years, but now after her dream is shattered, she can't do it, she can only stumble home to find Shen Shuang's bad luck.

Shen Shuang naturally knew that her second aunt would not give up, but she also knew that if she didn't want to be kicked out by her father, she would definitely go to fight pigweed honestly.

In order to avoid conflict with her, Shen Shuang chopped the leaves of wild vegetables and fed them to the chickens, and after releasing them, he took Xiaoshan out, and when Xiao Wan arrived home, only Shen Cuini, who dared not go out, was left in the house.

"Trini, Trini, where's the fat pig?"

Shen Cuini was very bored, because her mouth was swollen and she was afraid of being laughed at, so she could only hide in the room and practice embroidering the handkerchief, but she was clumsy, and the finished product embroidered after practicing for a long time was still ugly.

Hearing her mother's voice at this time, Shen Cuini was shocked and hurriedly hid the veil, her eyes rolled, "Mother, the fat pig and Xiaoshan went out." ”

Xiao Wanshi slapped the table, his face was very angry, "I'm so angry, that dead fat pig dares to calculate me, see if I don't give her a good look." ”

Saying that, Xiao Wanshi set his eyes on his daughter, "Why don't you go to Li Xiu's mother's house today to learn embroidery?" Cui Ni, my mother gave Li Xiuniang so much silver, you have to study hard, and when the time comes, you will marry a rich man in a beautiful manner, and you will be angry with the Xu family! ”

Shen Cuini heard these words and her ears had a rash, and her face was very impatient, "Mother, Li Xiuniang said let's practice by ourselves today, you go out, you disturb me here, I can't concentrate." ”

Xiao Wanshi got up and was about to go out, but suddenly remembered that she had to go out to catch a big basket of pigweed, and there was a big wooden basin of clothes by the water tank.

Not to mention how much work there is, first of all, if she goes to the stream to wash clothes, sure that the long-tongued women in the whole village will know that she also has to work, it will definitely disgrace her face.

Xiao Wan's eyes rolled, and he immediately turned his mind to his daughter, and sat down with a flattering face, "Cuini, you see, my mother's hand was accidentally injured just now, why don't you help your mother go to the stream to wash clothes, and your mother has to go to the foot of the mountain to hunt pigweed." ”

Shen Cuini was shocked, and her mind quickly circled, but her face said quietly, "Mother, what do you say, I am going to marry a rich man and a big official, if I help you go to the stream to wash clothes, my hands will definitely become very rough, how can a big official and a rich man marry me?" I guess I can't hold the embroidery needle in my hand. ”

When Xiao Wanshi heard this, she felt that this was the case, and immediately dispelled the idea of letting her daughter help wash clothes, she naturally did not feel sorry for her daughter, but was afraid that she would not be able to marry a big official at that time, and she would not get the dowry money.

Shen Cuini saw her mother's expression and knew that she would not be forced to wash her clothes again, so she suggested in a low voice, "Mother, I see that the clothes in Li Xiuniang's house are all washed by the village mother-in-law for two copper coins a day. ”

Xiao Wanshi was so angry that he spat on the ground, "Bah, that slut of the Xu family, can I cheapen her with copper coins?" That's it, you embroider well, my mother went out to hunt pigweed. ”

Xiao Wan's is actually more advanced than Xu's, when she married into the old Shen family, she also got up every day before dawn to cook breakfast for the whole family, but fortunately she was pregnant with Shen Zhuzi not long after.

It just so happened that when the Xu family entered the door, when her stomach was not pregnant, she relied on Wan's care, did nothing, and used her stomach as a trump card to be lazy at every turn, plus she occasionally embroidered some handkerchiefs to sell for money, and Shen Tusheng also went to the town to make money, it seems that everyone has become accustomed to the days when she doesn't have to do anything.

Shen Shuang also carried a big basket when she went out today, and deliberately brought the family's open dustpan, planning to catch more river clams and go home to fry, wanting her father and mother to try it and seek benefits for her mother, she was also in a much more comfortable mood, as for how others wanted to make trouble, she couldn't care so much.

Because she has been walking around these days, and she still gets up on time in the morning to run and exercise, Shen Shuang feels that her body has undergone obvious changes, although she still can't help but breathe when she walks, she will not be so tired that she can't walk like a dead pig.

When Shen Shuang led the hill to the foot of the mountain where the little hunter lived, he happened to see the little hunter coming down from the mountain with a basket on his back, and this time he did not come down from the path, but from the side of the mountain road.

Seeing him, Shen Shuang beckoned to him from afar, "Hey, stuffy gourd, we're here." ”

Little Orion often hunts, his sense of hearing is very sensitive, as soon as he heard Shen Shuang's call, he turned his head, and saw that she and Xiaoshan really came here again today, his heart was very happy, and he immediately turned around and walked in the direction where she was.

Shen Shuang walked slowly, but when Xiao Shan saw Brother Little Orion, he rushed up directly to hug his thigh, and Little Orion reached out to pick him up and walked towards Shen Shuang.

Shen Shuang crossed his waist, and his disgust for the fat on his body was serious, "Hey, why did you go down the mountain early today?" We're going to fish for clams again, do you want to go together? ”

Little Orion nodded, there was no expression on his face, but Shen Shuang somehow felt that he seemed to be in a good mood, and immediately had a slight smile on his face.

It is the bright spring time, the mountain flowers at the foot of the mountain here are blooming brilliantly, a gust of spring breeze is coming, the scattered petals are fluttering with the wind, and the ground is also paved with many petals of mountain flowers, which looks like a flower road.

Shen Shuang stepped on those petals and walked towards the wooden house, the little wolf cub who was not locked up today saw Shen Shuang coming and rushed over directly to roll on the ground and coquettish, Xiaoshan naturally cut it off and picked it up, Shen Shuang put down the big back basket and turned his head to talk to the little hunter, but the latter gave her a super surprise first!
