Chapter 17: Grandpa, Are You the Head of the Shen Family?
"Grandma, the bowl is not broken, but I knocked over the bowl, and there is still wheat kernels in the bowl......" Shen Baozhi endured the disgust, quietly dodged the old lady's hand, and said coquettishly.
"It's okay, it's just right to feed the chickens, if you want to eat, ask your aunt to cook it for you again."
"Grandma, there are few ears of wheat......"
"Don't worry, wait until tomorrow for the dog and the girl to pick up the ears of wheat, and burn them at noon as snacks to eat......"
"But I don't want to eat wheat kernels." Shen Baozhi glanced at Shen Mingxi, and provoked Mrs. Shen.
"Whatever you want to eat, grandma will make it for you."
Shen Baozhi thought for a while, "Then let the eldest lady give me a fried shuttle cake to eat." ”
She made a request as a matter of course.
Shen Mingxi's hand clenched, but slowly let go.
After a lot of experience, she naturally knows that most of the things that this cousin does are for her.
It's just like what you're looking for.
She turned and walked away.
Shen Baozhi had a triumphant smile on the corner of his mouth.
There was a lot of coaxing in the yard, a few small ones from the second uncle's house and the third uncle's family, running around the yard and not seeing the second uncle, while the third uncle Shen Jun was smoking in the corner, the eldest brother was busy chopping vegetables and feeding the pigs, the second brother was sweating on the side of the firewood room, and the dog and the maid were carefully catching insects in the vegetable garden.
You don't need to look at it to know that it is her mother Chen Li who cooks in the stove.
In this big house, except for Shen Yu, who is getting worse and worse, everyone else is working.
And she should have gone to wash the clothes that had been changed by the people in the main house in the morning.
Shen Mingxi looked up with a cold face, the sky was a little dark, and clusters of small midges were flying in mid-air, she turned her head and glanced at the clothes that had been soaked in a basin, and looked away, she entered the house, poured a glass of water for Shen Yu, and then sat on the edge of the kang and looked out the window.
Dinner is ready for tonight.
It was a sticky ballast, and there was no nest, and Mrs. Shen asked Chen Li to get up tomorrow morning and steam it again.
In the evening, it is stewed with oil beans and potatoes.
After putting the meat oil, Chen Li mixed the cold vegetables with chili peppers, coriander and cucumbers.
Chen Li's cooking skills are good, and she can smell the aroma of beans and potatoes in the firewood room.
Shen Yu on the kang seemed to be asleep.
His face was sallow, and he rarely didn't cough.
And Shen Mingxi looked out the window motionlessly.
Hearing Mrs. Shen's scolding, "...... There is no food to eat at night, a room of debt collectors, and the mourning star you raised is not allowed to give her food, dare to do it with me, that is, she is full of food, she will be honest after a few hungry meals, and you, dare to give her food, see how I clean you up, hurry back to your house, hurry up, stuff the pig food, my old Shen family is all owed to you, raise a room of white-eyed wolves......"
Shen Mingxi heard Chen Linuo's rebuttal, and his voice was too small to be clear.
Shen Mingxi still didn't move, and waited until Chen Li brought out a small basin of things similar to the water for brushing pots from the stove room, Chen Li was in a daze with the basin, and Shen Mingxi moved.
She walked out of the firewood room, quickly walked in front of Chen Li, took the wooden basin, and walked towards the main house.
At this time, there were no more people from the main house in the courtyard.
Chen Li looked at the empty hands and didn't react for a while.
Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan happened to see it, they were both stunned, they glanced at each other, and they didn't have time to say anything to Chen Li, so they followed quickly.
The main house is quite large and is home to three families.
It's also very clean.
After all, there is still Shen Baozhi living here.
Shen Mingxi rarely came to the main house, and when he came, he also dismantled and washed the bedding of Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen and then took them out to wash.
At this time, there was no light in the house, the sky was still white outside, and the room was still very bright.
She crossed the threshold and entered the Westroom where she was eating, carrying a wooden basin.
There was a table on the kang where sat Old Man Shen, Shen Hai Shen Jun and three boys.
They are the revitalization of the second uncle's family, and the revitalization and revitalization of the third uncle's family.
They are all half-sized, and they are eating at this time.
There was a long table in the open space of the West House, and on the long stool sat Mrs. Shen, Ji Daju, Wu Zhaodi, and two little girls.
Shen Baozhi sat next to Mrs. Shen, with three plates in front of her.
One is potatoes and beans, one is chili parsley mixed with cucumbers, and one has half a cake on a plate.
Except for Shen Zhentao, who is at my sister-in-law's house in the county seat, there are a total of twelve people, all of whom are eating.
When Shen Mingxi put the wooden basin on the side of the kang, everyone raised their heads in surprise.
Especially Shen Baozhi, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and there was a trace of light of unknown meaning.
Mrs. Shen didn't even react.
When she reacted, Shen Mingxi spoke, she looked at Old Man Shen, and her crisp voice echoed in the West House, "Grandpa, are you the head of the Shen family, if so, there are a few things I don't understand, I want to ask you." ”
Mrs. Shen stood up and rushed towards Shen Mingxi with a snort, scolding loudly, "............" while holding the chopsticks in her hand and hitting Shen Mingxi.
was stopped by Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan, who followed later.
The two brothers don't know what their sister Xiaoxi is going to do, but they can't let their grandmother hit her.
Shen Mingxi didn't pause, and raised his voice, "Grandpa, if you don't understand these things today, I'll ask the captain, and if the captain doesn't understand, I'll go to the county seat to ask, go to the province to ask, I think there is always something that can be explained......"
Old man Shen looked at Shen Mingxi as if he had changed a person in shock and anger, put down his chopsticks with a snap, looked at the wooden basin, his eyes flashed, and pointed at Shen Mingxi, his face was gloomy, "What are you doing, haven't you seen that everyone is tired for a day?" You're so old, you're not sensible at all, and you don't know how your mother taught you, Jiawen Qingshan, take your sister out......"
"Grandpa, you think about it, if you don't answer me, I'll go to the third grandfather of the captain and ask, I believe that the third grandfather will definitely tell me......"
"You ......" Old man Shen's face changed suddenly, he naturally knew that the captain had a different view of Shen Mingxi's family, and he had beaten him a few times openly and secretly.
He was vague at the time, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.
His own family is happy, he is full of food, what do you care?
But after all, where is the identity, Shen Sanye is the cousin of his fourth master's family, and he is still the captain, so he naturally can't help but give him face.
Therefore, the surface should be inherited.
But he knew that if Shen Mingxi, a dead girl, really went to look for him, the old guy would definitely come forward.
He also wanted to evaluate the five good families, so naturally he couldn't let Shen Sanye know.
His face was gloomy, and he was about to call Shen Yu to come out and take the dead girl away, but Mrs. Shen's eyes were full of poison, and she rushed towards Shen Mingxi like crazy, "Dead girl broom star, I'll kill you......" Naturally, she scolded non-stop.
Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan are young men after all, and they stopped Mrs. Shen who wanted to beat her sister, but they couldn't fight back, after all, this person was their grandmother.
