Shen Musheng was actually a little lacking in confidence when he spoke, saying that he had to sell it to the Jiang family, but he knew the temper of his father and mother, and the things he decided had always been difficult to change, and he couldn't speak in front of them.

Shen Shuang watched her father suddenly fall silent as he spoke, shrugged his shoulders and continued to pick peach gum helplessly, it was a matter of time before he sold it to the Jiang family, and he didn't know where her grandmother got the confidence to think that Man Fulou was willing to sell their things.

Shen Shuang saw that the peach gum on this large peach tree was almost picked, so he also sat down to rest for a while, and at the same time broke a lot of peach branches and planned to take them back to decorate the house, Xiaoshan woke up after sleeping on the tree for a while, and then ran around in the peach forest with the little wolf cub.

Shen Musheng has always been a good worker, one top two, so the two father and daughter plus a small labor hill, the three of them picked most of the day and picked two large back baskets plus a small back basket of peach gum.

On the other hand, on the other two sides, Wan Shi and Old Man Shen are old after all, and their legs and feet are different from young people, although their movements are quite neat, but the two of them can't climb trees, they can only pick the peach gum on the trunk of the peach tree, and they barely pick two big baskets at the end of the day.

And Shen Cuini carried a basket around the peach forest by herself, picked a small half basket and began to pick flowers to make garlands, and had a lot of fun, and when she went home, the basket was filled with the peach branches she had folded.

The stone followed her brother Shen Zhuzi but picked the fastest and the most, even Xiao Wan's two sons who don't work often rely on it, although she was bent on selling peach gum to make money, but after all, she was used to being lazy, and she didn't work long before she rested and shouted about back pain, and Shen Zhuzi naturally helped pick her share.

Xu's maiden home is not very far from Xishan Village, but you still have to walk for three or four hours, plus the time you stay in Xujia Village, Xu's arrival at home is not early, she hurriedly took advantage of the people who went up the mountain to boil water and cook rice when they have not returned, and at the same time clean the pigsty and chicken pen, skillfully chop the pigweed cut back to feed the pigs, and feed the chickens with wild vegetable leaves.

Shen Shuang carried a large basket of peach gum on her back, and Xiaoshan and the little wolf cub who ran happily followed Shen Musheng back to go home, the three of them were the first to return, and when they saw smoke coming from the chimney of the Shen family, she knew that it was her mother who came back, and shouted as soon as she entered the courtyard gate, "Mother, we are back." ”

Xu Shi was watching the steamed sweet potato nest in the kitchen, and when he heard the voice, he hurriedly ran out to help Shen Shuang and Xiaoshan unload the peach gum they were carrying, "This peach gum is really heavy, is Xiaoshuang tired?" Xiaoshan, tired or not? ”

Shen Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head, and hurriedly ran to the house to fill the water and drank it before saying, "It's okay, it's just quite heavy." ”

Xiaoshan also nodded in agreement, Shen Musheng put all the peach gum aside, wiped his sweat, and asked her about going back to her parents' house today, "Child, how is the eldest brother?" ”

Xu Shi shook his head, and explained with a somewhat gloomy face, "Yesterday, my father borrowed an ox cart from the village to take my eldest brother to the town to see the doctor, and the doctor said that my eldest brother's leg is not good to treat and costs money, and even if he is cured, it is not easy to walk. The family owes a lot of silver, but my father didn't want all ten taels of silver, and only took five taels of silver. ”

Shen Shuang was sitting on the side, and was a little speechless when she saw her mother stuffing the silver back into her hand, and hurriedly raised her hand, "Mother, you can just use the silver, I still have it here, if you don't pick it up for a while and wait for grandma to come back, my grandmother may suspect that I stole the silver from her." ”

"It's only five taels of silver, not much, seeing that the weather is about to get hot, mother, next time we go to the town to buy some cloth and come back to make new clothes for me, my father and Xiaoshan?"

Shen Musheng didn't interfere in this matter, he picked up the firewood he picked up today and prepared to chop firewood, Shen Shuang watched her father work non-stop, so he didn't care about her mother's helpless appearance, turned around and pulled Xiaoshan to wash the wild vegetables she dug back.

Xu had no choice but to put the silver away, and then continued to go back to work in the kitchen.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, Shen Shuang found an excuse to go out, in fact, he took the little wolf cub out to see the little hunter.

Seeing that less than two days had passed, Shen Shuang felt that she hadn't seen him for several days, so this morning she had prepared the things she was going to bring to see him, and at the same time she had gathered some of the seeds she had bought in the town and planned to give them to him for a trial.

Although there are not many people near Xiao Orion's cabin, he can still open up the land over there, and she has seen that the soil over there is much more fertile than that of the old Shen family, and there is still a stream flowing down the mountain, and irrigation is not a problem, so if he wants to grow something, it may be better if he can experiment there.

Bai Bai followed behind Shen Shuang, I don't know if she knew that she was going to the little Orion, she looked very cheerful when she ran, and she ran and ran in front of Shen Shuang, she paid attention to it, the route of this little thing was completely the way to the Little Orion Cabin.

Shen Shuang met a lot of villagers on the road, although because of some of Wan's riotous operations before, and the people in the village were instigated to spread falsehoods, Shen Shuang was pointed at for a long time.

But because the dog girl was forced to apologize, it can be regarded as playing a role in killing chickens and monkeys, Shen Shuang didn't get pointed at by the people in the village when she went out, and she met some people on the road today, and some of them took the initiative to greet her, which made Shen Shuang really feel a little flattered.

In fact, what shocked Shen Shuang the most was Sister-in-law Han, seeing that she not only didn't gossip at her, but was also so close that Shen Shuang was almost scared to run away.

"Ouch, isn't this Xiaoshuang, are you digging wild vegetables? It's not early now, my aunt digs a lot of this Qingming dish today, I'll give you some if you want it. ”

Shen Shuang reacted, seeing that she was about to stuff a handful of vegetables into her back basket, Shen Shuang hurriedly waved her hand and refused, "Hanzi, no need, thank you." ”

"You're welcome, I'm extra here."

Shen Shuang remembered that when she met this sister-in-law Han for the first time before, she was so scared by her that she was so scared that she was urinating, and after several confrontations, the two of them were not very happy, she smirked, she really didn't know how this person changed his attitude, and the speed of this change of face was faster than the weather in this spring.

As the saying goes, eating people is soft, taking people short, she Shen Shuang is not a greedy person. Cheap people naturally won't want her things, "I really don't need it, Aunt Han keeps it for herself." ”

Sister-in-law Han rolled her eyes, pretended to sigh, and tried her best to laugh to make herself look very kind, but the next moment she put on a very gossipy posture, "Hey, don't forget it, I said that you are really polite." But Xiaoshuang, my aunt asked you about one thing, the Jiang girl who came to your house last time, when will she come to your house? Can you say no to your aunt then? ”

Shen Shuang suddenly remembered that Jiang Zitong gave Sister-in-law Han a reward of silver, and suddenly realized, and also understood how her attitude had changed so much, and she dared to love because of the silver.

Shen Shuang didn't want to say it to death, so she could only laugh, "Oh, auntie, are you Miss Jiang?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's Miss Jiang, last time she returned me a piece of silver, I have to give her some good things to repay her."

Good stuff? Shen Shuang was not interested, she smiled but didn't smile, "I don't know if she will come, but if she comes, Aunt Han will definitely know." It's not early in the morning, I'm still in a hurry to dig wild vegetables and go back, auntie, I'll go first. ”

Saying that, Shen Shuang didn't wait for her to say more, and hurriedly quickened her pace and walked forward, and the little wolf cub squatting on the side also accelerated to keep up, and Sister-in-law Han wanted to ask a few more questions, but she directly bared her teeth and barked a few times, so frightened that Sister-in-law Han hurriedly retreated, and she didn't dare to keep up at all, "That Xiaoshuang, it's decided, Miss Jiang will come again, you must tell your aunt." ”

Shen Shuang rolled her eyes, Jiang Zitong actually gave people a reward of silver, which was simply a bad thing for people.

Shen Shuang walks a lot now, works hard and diligently, and insists on exercising in the morning, usually controls her diet, and her work and rest are also very regular, her weight has been declining now, and she was still a little edema before, but now she doesn't have that feeling at all, and she has lost the feeling of wheezing when she walks, but after all, it will take several months for her to get rid of this fat, and she is not in a hurry.

Walking on the road, she met many villagers who came back from digging wild vegetables and collecting firewood from the mountains, Shen Shuang also carefully identified those who greeted her, and responded with a smile, in order not to be so conspicuous, she deliberately picked a small path and led the little wolf cub to the foot of the mountain on the side of the little hunter.

The little hunter still did not go up the mountain today, but he had nothing to do at home, and he used the old wood of the house to make many knick-knacks to give to the mountain and the stone to play with, and there were many patterns carved on it.

He has been working on this for the past few days, and today he has done it all, and after he is free, he simply cleans up the open space in front of the house and behind the house, and uses the bamboo he cut back before to make a new fence to enclose the vegetable garden.

When Shen Shuang went to the little Orion's side, Wan and Old Man Shen also returned, and Shen Musheng had already chopped and piled up all the firewood in the yard, so he went to the village well with a bucket to fetch water.

Wan Shi was tired enough, and he felt angry when he saw Xu Shi and Xiaoshan sitting and working in the yard so easily, "You are idle, what is the matter?" Where's your daughter? Why did she come back so early and let them pick all the peach gum they picked back? Is it enough? ”

Xu Shi was squatting in the yard to choose vegetables, and when he heard Wan Shi talking loudly when he pushed the yard away, he quickly stood up and pointed to the two big back baskets placed over there, "Mother, Xiaoshuang and her father and Xiaoshan have already picked the peach gum back." ”

Old man Shen was so tired that he was panting, and when he entered the door, he put the big basket aside and sat down to smoke a dry cigarette, he didn't plan to speak at all, but when he saw so much peach gum, he was still happy in his heart.
