Chapter 8 Find the Good Food
In the compartment, Shen Musheng was talking quietly with Xu.
"His father, Xiaoshuang is also an obedient child, she took the initiative to help me work today, and Xiaoshan is quite clingy to his sister."
"This is a good thing, Dad said that as long as Xiaoshuang doesn't cause trouble, it's fine. It's just that she used to live a good life and eat good things, and she doesn't know if she can survive our hard life. Shen Musheng was very worried, it was only the second day, and he was afraid that his daughter would be unaccustomed to a hard life and would make trouble again.
When Xu Shi heard this, he also fell silent, and couldn't help but think of his adopted daughter Shen Forsythia, "His father, do you think Forsythia will be worried about them?" Her own mother looks very rare at her, and she shouldn't treat her badly. She is diligent and good-looking, and she will definitely be able to say that she is a good person in the future. ”
Shen Musheng snorted, and Xu began to worry about his chubby daughter again, and he couldn't sleep when he thought about it.
……
On the other side of the main house, Old Man Shen and Wan Shi were also talking about today's events, nothing more than not letting Shen Shuang eat at the table, she didn't look good, but she didn't get recognition, and was beaten by Old Man Shen, Wan Shi hated Shen Shuang even more completely in his heart!
In the east room, Shen Tusheng and Xiao Wan in the second room were secretly counting copper coins, and the two of them lowered their voices and spoke, sounding very sneaky, "Dad, where did you get so much money?" Didn't you give it all to your mother? ”
Shen Tusheng glanced at his mother-in-law like a fool in the dark, and his tone was very disdainful, "It's really right to say that you are a stupid mother-in-law, and I'm not a big brother!" If we really give all the copper to our mother, then we must not drink the northwest wind. This is what I earned today, a full thirty copper plates! I'll give five to our mother, and all of these will be saved for you. ”
Xiao Wanshi sounded quite reasonable, so he also nodded, but he was a little worried, "Dad, you usually only move a maximum of ten copper plates, why are there so many today?" Dad, what have you done? ”
Because in the dark, Xiao Wanshi didn't see Shen Tusheng's weak expression, and directly flickered her without blinking, "What do you say I can do, I am tired enough to move and lift every day, and you are still suspicious when you have copper coins for you, it is really a woman who has no knowledge." In the future, I will live in the town like the third brother, and thirty copper plates are nothing, and I will have to get up early tomorrow to work in the town. ”
Xiao Wanshi was scolded like this, but she didn't worry about it anymore, she took the thirty copper plates and hid them, thinking happily in her heart that she would save the copper coins and buy some meat back to her mother's house next time, her mother would definitely praise her.
……
When Shen Shuang woke up the next day, it was already dawn. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a small radish head hill sitting on the kang that I don't know how long I had been watching her.
One big and one small, looking at each other, Xiaoshan seemed to blush a little, and hurriedly climbed off the kang and put on the little broken shoes and ran out with a bang, Shen Shuang was stunned, I don't know what this kid's reaction is.
She sat up and put on her coat, thinking about the fact that Xiaoshan could not speak, and it stands to reason that a normal child begins to babble when he is more than a year old.
Xiaoshan is malnourished, and he looks like a child under three years old at the age of six, and he can't speak. But some of the children were late, and she wondered if Xiaoshan belonged to this category.
But the family has already decided that he is a little mute, just from the fact that he didn't exist at all yesterday, it can be seen that grandma dislikes him very much, Shen Shuang thought that he must find a chance to take Xiaoshan to see the doctor, if it is really delayed, it will be a lifetime thing.
Just pondering, the little radish head walked in with a broken bowl, which contained half a sweet potato and a nest head, Shen Shuang's first reaction was: Her God, she has to gnaw on the bran nest head again today.
Xiaoshan didn't know Shen Shuang's mental activities, and raised the bowl in front of her as if offering a treasure, there was no sound, but she knew what he meant, and she could see that the little guy was asking for credit.
Shen Shuang touched the little guy's little head lovingly, took the broken bowl, and said gently, "Xiaoshan, have you eaten it?" ”
The little radish head nodded, and touched his little belly to show that he was full, and grinned at Shen Shuang and smiled, Shen Shuang took the broken bowl and put it aside, then got up and stretched, and pulled the little guy out of the door, but there was no one in the yard, quietly.
"Xiaoshan, where is my mother?"
The little one pointed in the direction of the door, and she said knowingly, "Mother went out to work?" ”
The little guy nodded, Shen Shuang thought about it, and said while fetching water and washing, "Then wait for my sister to eat, and then why don't you go to your mother and find something delicious?" ”
Xiaoshan remembered the delicious food he dreamed of at night, and his eyes couldn't help but light up for a while, and he followed Shen Shuang closely.
The stream on the west hill flows down and collects into a small stream at the foot of the mountain, and there are many lush aquatic weeds and wild vegetables growing along the stream, especially in the higher places, where there are large areas of melon seeds suitable for pigs to eat, and the women of the whole village who want to cut grass and feed the pigs like to run there.
Shen Shuang was led by the hill and finally walked to the foot of the mountain, and finally saw Xu Shi bending over on the high ground not far away and cutting pigweed.
