Chapter 24: The Children Have Grown Up
After the old man Shen finished eating, Shen Hai lit a bag of cigarettes for him, the old man took a puff of the cigarette fiercely, and spit it out again, and there was smoke in front of him.
But I also felt better, and called my two sons, "You all come here......"
And Mrs. Shen walked out of the Westinghouse with a gloomy face.
It was already completely dark outside, and Ji Daju and Wu Zhaodi took out the empty dishes, chopsticks and basins and piled them in the cauldron.
As usual, wait for Chen Li to wash.
Because after washing, a pot of pig food will be cooked, after all, the Shen family only has a big iron pot for the time being.
People and pigs eat in the same pot, which is nothing, and now the farmers who feed the pigs are basically like this, as long as they are cleaned up, there is no problem.
Chen Li finished the work in the firewood room and went to the stove room to wash the dishes, brush the pots, and cook the pig food.
There was no electric light in the stove room, only an oil lamp was lit, she looked at Chen Li gloomily, Chen Li's legs were a little weak, but she still held on, they had a full meal tonight, this Mrs. Shen must be unhappy, if she can let this matter pass if she is angry, she will endure it.
The creek was big, and she couldn't let the old lady always beat and scold her for no reason.
She lowered her eyebrows and worked very quickly.
She is a diligent person, so this work is naturally not a problem.
Mrs. Shen scolded while watching, and Chen Li listened obediently.
The old lady was still frightened today, so when she scolded Chen Li, she didn't dare to scold like in the past, her voice was shocking, her voice was not loud, only Chen Li could hear it.
Chen Li finally finished her work, she looked at Mrs. Shen timidly, "Mother, you dissipate your anger, I'll go bathe Yaya......"
As she spoke, Chen Li lifted her legs and left.
Mrs. Shen grinded her teeth angrily, she picked up the burning stick with her hand, and then pushed it up, and couldn't help but raise her voice and scold, "Chen Li, you stirring up the family ***, my good sons and grandsons have been taught bad by you, and they dare to fight against us, don't you want to live anymore, you ......"
Then, the shrill voice stopped abruptly.
The lights in the house shone in the courtyard, and she saw the two Shen Jiawen brothers who were glaring at her.
Especially Shen Qingshan, his eyes were the most ruthless and terrifying.
Shen Mingxi came out of the shadows and sneered, "Grandma, it's because we want to live, so we settle accounts with you today, this matter has nothing to do with my mother, she keeps working all day and night, and she has to be beaten and scolded by you, your heart is really made of stone, these three daughters-in-law, my mother can abuse them alone, are you really bullying her children and can't support her?" ”
Shen Qingshan glared at Mrs. Shen angrily, although she didn't say anything, but the clenched fists rattled loudly, Mrs. Shen's heart was shocked, and her hands holding the burning stick trembled.
In this world, there is no shortage of people who bully the weak and fear the hard.
The old lady Shen in front of her is like this.
She took a few steps back, looked at her tall twin brother in a daze, and thought in a trance, Chen Li, a useless loser, gave birth to children who were so old......
She was in a dilemma, and at this time, Shen Baozhi came, she smiled, as if she didn't know everything that happened just now, and squeezed her eyes at the three brothers and sisters in front of her, "Big brother and second brother, sister, I'll take grandma back to the house, you guys should rest quickly, it's been a tired day today, it's too hard......"
Then without waiting for them to speak, he hurriedly pulled Mrs. Shen, "Grandma, you should also go back to the house to rest, let's go, there are a lot of mosquitoes outside......"
Mrs. Shen finally found the bottom of the steps, her eyes were full of her precious lucky star Shen Baozhi, this child was the little fairy sent by God.
She followed Shen Baozhi away.
There is no way, Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan, who have always had no sense of existence, suddenly became tall and terrifying, and she needed to think about it.
Chen Li was a little stunned, why did Mrs. Shen leave so easily.
She muttered, "Baozhi is a good boy, I owe her a lot, otherwise, your grandmother will do it again today......"
Shen Mingxi glanced at the lights in the main house and said unceremoniously, "Mom, you forgot, when you were beaten and scolded by my grandmother many times, Shen Baozhi was watching from the sidelines, my grandmother was afraid that my eldest brother and second brother, what does it have to do with her!" ”
Shen Qingshan, who originally thought that what Chen Li said was right, suddenly understood, and he smiled happily, "Xiaoxi, if you don't say it, I almost think so." ”
"You stupid boy, you have to think more about things in the future." Shen Jiawen, who had not spoken, spoke.
Chen Li was a little ashamed and at a loss, Shen Mingxi didn't blame Chen Li too much, her mother had lived too hard all these years, and she was the most powerful one who had been obedient.
The road they have to take is actually very difficult.
She pulled Chen Li's arm, "Mom, let's go into the house and rest, by the way, get up tomorrow morning, it's okay to serve the vegetable garden, don't do anything else, everything is up to me, eldest brother and second brother." ”
"Yes, Mom, everything has us......"
Shen Jiawen faintly seemed to open his mouth to guarantee something.
Chen Li's heart suddenly became warm.
In the main room, Old Man Shen looked at Mrs. Shen with a gloomy face, frowning, "What's wrong with this eldest family today, you have nothing to inquire about tomorrow, is there anyone instigating them." ”
"Who can instigate, hasn't that dead girl been working with two children from the city and three others in the past few days, by the way, I heard that Feng Anchen was cut to the leg by a sickle in the afternoon......"
Mrs. Shen said angrily.
Shen Baozhi's eyes flashed on the side, Shen Mingxi and Feng Anchen are working together?
Hearing Feng Anchen's three words, Old Man Shen glanced at Shen Baozhi and didn't speak, while Shen Hai next to him said impatiently, "Dad, mother, you just let them ride on your neck like this and play majestic, this can't be used to it, otherwise, you won't be able to control them anymore......"
"If you want me to say that our family's food is enough, they are just for a little food, and when they are full, they will be fine......" Uncle Shen said in a chatter.
"Where is there enough food to eat, there are so many people in a big family, why don't you eat it in the three rooms, save it for them to eat?"
Mrs. Shen said in a weird way.
Third Uncle Shen hurriedly said, "I just said it casually, when I didn't say anything." ”
Shen Hai snorted, "I have a useful place for those grains, but don't be stupid." ”
Uncle Shen pouted in his heart, if you want to say that the most ruthless person is still this second child, he doesn't do any work at all, no one has seen a cent of the money he earns at work, and occasionally eating a few pieces of candy is all the sky.
The food he and the big house earned back was given out by him every year.
He shut up.
He began to smoke one cigarette at a time.
Old man Shen waved his hand irritably, "You all go back to the house." Then he looked at Shen Baozhi kindly, "Bao girl, you stay for a while, grandpa will talk to you about something." ”
A flash of surprise and impatience flashed in Shen Baozhi's eyes, but she still asked obediently, "Grandpa, what's the matter?" ”
