243 Homecoming
Ninety-nine double yang, it is advisable to climb high and overlook.
Rest day.
A carriage leading to Taohuazhuang was running on the road, and Shen Tuantuan kept a careful eye on the crabs in the bucket.
This crab was sent by the villagers of Miaojiazhai, Shen Tuantuan refused to ask for it, and asked Li Zheng to sell it for money, and he thought that Li Zheng left a few buckets of crabs and left.
Shen Tuantuan divided some of the crabs to several families in the academy, and specially left a pass for the kitchen in the backyard, so that the eldest lady could keep it for the gentlemen in the academy. As for Shen Tuantuan himself, he brought two buckets of crabs back to Taohuazhuang.
"Brother, do you know where Miaoli got so many crabs?"
Shen Changzhi leaned on the carriage, this carriage still belonged to the Xu family, and the Xu family heard that Shen Tuantuan was going home, so they asked their own coachman to give them a ride without saying a word. "From the south, right? I've heard that there are a lot of crabs in the south by the sea. β
Shen Tuantuan gasped, "You mean Miao Li is going to the south to catch crabs?" Did it be given to us to catch crabs? β
Shen Changzhi shook his head, he didn't know.
Because the villagers of Miaojiazhai always send some things during the New Year's Festival, although they are just their own things, but every time they are sent, it is the meaning of the whole village. The days of Miaojiazhai are difficult, that is, it is difficult to even get married. How could the Shen family be willing to accept these things from the Miao family, even if they refused to accept them, Miao Li just put down the things and left, for fear that the Shen family would dislike them.
The Shen family naturally didn't want to lose to the villagers of Miaojiazhai, so they sent some cloth and some pork as a gift in return. For the Shen family, this is really not much in return, just because the villagers of Miaojiazhai are diligent and fertilizing the ground, the Shen family feels that this is what it should be. But the people of Miaojiazhai feel that they have taken advantage of it, just the rent given by the Shen family has made the life of every household in the village a lot better, and after a few more years of farming, maybe the village will be able to do happy events.
Therefore, this time, Miao Li deliberately selected a few villagers who were doing things safely, went to the south to catch a wagon of crabs, and brought them back to send the festival. It's also a loss to catch up.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Shen Tuantuan couldn't help but lift the curtain, "Brother, we haven't been back to the village for a long timeββ"
"Hmm."
When she arrived at the door of the house, Aunt Wang heard a movement outside the door, and when she got up this morning, Aunt Wang muttered that she didn't know if the Shen Tuantuan brothers and sisters would come back today. So at this time, I heard the sound of a carriage outside the door, put down the things in my hand, and ran to the gate of the courtyard, "It must be Tuan Tuan and Chang Zhihe who are back!" β
Aunt Wang opened the courtyard door, and sure enough, she saw Shen Tuantuan opening the curtain and was about to jump down, but Aunt Wang hurriedly stopped her. "My Tuantuan, you can be careful, don't jump around, you'll break your foot if you're not careful."
Shen Changzhi stretched out his hand to help Shen Tuantuan, and Shen Tuantuan jumped down with a slight jump. "Auntie, don't worry, how can something happen to someone as light as a swallow like me."
Aunt Wang took Shen Tuantuan's hand, she couldn't see anything in her eyes anymore, and thought in pieces, "I've lost a lot of weight, I've lost a lot of weight!" Have you not been eating properly? Let me tell you, you can't learn the diet of the little ladies of those big families just because you keep in shape, you are growing your body, and you can be hungry for a lifetime. β
The ladies and little ladies who live in the academy are all exquisite, and Aunt Wang is afraid that Shen Tuantuan will learn the same as those people in the future, thinking about tightening her belt, and eating in small bites, she feels distressed when she looks at it.
Shen Changzhi moved things down with the Xu family's coachman in the back. Hearing Aunt Wang's words, Shen Changzhi couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, "Auntie, you are worried in vain, let Tuan Tuan show you a hand in a while, see if her bowl of rice is enough to eat, and you will know if she is on a diet." Just in order to eat an extra bowl of rice, Tuan Tuan easily didn't go to other gentlemen's houses to eat, for fear of scaring other gentlemen's families. β
Shen Changzhi glared at Shen Changzhi, "I want you to be verbose!" β
Aunt Wang was relieved when she heard that Shen Tuantuan did not go on a hunger strike, "It's a blessing to be able to eat, Tuan Tuan, let's ignore your brother." Eat as much as you want, and your body will be stronger. β
"Listen to your brother, this is a little lady who also has a good relationship in the academy?" Although Shen Tuantuan came back with a message and said that everything was fine, Aunt Wang was always at ease in her heart, afraid that going to the academy would cause trouble. This time, Old Man Ning brought the matchmaker to propose marriage, which made Aunt Wang not sleep well for several days.
Ning Nanxing is a doctor at a young age, and he has a craft, so he can support his family in the future, which is naturally good. The Ning family is also simple, and in her selfish heart, Aunt Wang thinks Ning Nanxing is good. It's much more reliable than the Yang family. Shen Chunyun's attitude towards the New Year stimulated Aunt Wang, so Aunt Wang was reluctant to marry the Yang family. It's just that she is an outsider, but it's not good to say that Shen Chunyu is not, so as not to make Shen Zhong, the elder brother, unhappy to hear it.
Shen Zhong got a message from Shen Changming in the backyard, and he ran out without even washing his hands. "Tuan Tuan, Changzhi, you're back!"
"Daddyβ"
"Daddyβ"
Shen Xiao came out after Shen Zhong, and the two of them called "Second Uncle" again, and Shen Changming followed and called someone.
Shen Changzhi and the Xu family coachman put things under the porch, and the Xu family coachman was about to go back, Shen Changzhi hurriedly greeted, "Uncle, take a sip of tea and leave." I've got something for you to bring back. β
When the coachman of the Xu family heard this, he nodded, and then Aunt Wang remembered that there was someone else, and hurriedly went to pour water for the coachman.
It was the first time that Shen Zhong hadn't seen Tuan Tuan for so long, so naturally he had a lot to say, Shen Zhong was by Shen Tuantuan's side every inch, asking about the bits and pieces in the academy, Shen Tuantuan smiled and answered all questions.
Shen Changzhi looked for Shen Xiao, "Second uncle, is there any tofu dried today?" β
"It's a little bit, if it's cold today, this dried tofu is made during the day." Shen Xiao knew that Shen Changzhi was going to bring something to the gentleman in the academy, so he didn't need Shen Changzhi to say, so he walked to the backyard with Shen Changzhi.
When he arrived in the backyard, Shen Shishi was busy rummaging with dried tofu, and there was a light sweat on his forehead, and when he saw Shen Changzhi coming, he hurriedly said hello and said with a smile: "Changzhi is back." Tuan Tuan should be back, right? My Sanya is talking about Tuan Tuan a lot, if she knows that Tuan Tuan is coming, she will probably be happy. β
Shen Changzhi smiled and nodded, he didn't notice it when he was at home before, but after living in the academy, he realized that it was easy only at home. Therefore, Shen Changzhi's mood was also extremely bright, and he rarely laughed with Shen Shishi, "Maybe after a while, Sanya will get the letter and come over." β
"My mother often says that Sanya is an ear to report God, maybe she already knows that Tuan Tuan is back by this time."
Shen Changzhi picked up a small basket of dried tofu and asked the Xu family coachman to take it back. The Xu family's coachman also knew that his children had just returned home, and he must have a lot to say, so he took dried tofu and left.
Shen Tuantuan picked up the fun things in the academy and said, not mentioning the bad things of Lin Miaoyu's family, Shen Zhong listened attentively, and heard that Shen Tuantuan's brothers and sisters had new friends in the academy, and also made those ladies happy, Shen Zhong was relieved. "I'll just say, my family's Tuan Tuan is happy with everyone wherever he goes, how can anyone not like it."
Aunt Wang was also fascinated by it, listening to Shen Tuantuan's words, imagining life in the academy.
"Dad, Aunt Wang, if you don't feel at ease, next time let's go to the academy to live together for a few days, those gentlemen and ladies in the academy are all kind and kind, and they don't have any shelves, but they don't let me go to their house to eat together. But I, my father and Aunt Wang all know, I can't be hungry, I'm at Mr. Xu's house, and the coachman who sent us here today is from Xu's family, and after I have a meal at Xu's house, I don't dare to go to other people's homes to eat. Do you know what's going on? β
Aunt Wang asked cooperatively, "What's the matter?" The dish is too good? Or is it too enthusiastic? β
Shen Tuantuan shook his head, "Wrong! Neither! The Xu family is small, that is, Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu and a pair of children, the family eats at the same table, Mrs. Xu needless to say, it is estimated that it is the amount of food in the wine glass, I looked at the chopsticks without moving a few times, and I was already full. As for me, I didn't think so much for a while, looking at Mr. Xu and they were still eating, I didn't eat enough and didn't put the chopsticks, I ate with an open stomach, to be honest, I was also a half-open stomach, and I knew in my heart that I didn't dare to eat more. But what Cheng thought, I haven't eaten half full, the Xu family's bowl is small and shallow, I just ate two bowls, and Mr. Xu has already stopped chopsticks. A man, who wants to eat only two small bowls. This Wan'er is that big! β
Shen Tuantuan clasped his hands together and gestured the size of the bowl.
Shen Zhong looked at the size of this bowl, even if it was not enough as a snack. couldn't help but gasp, "A big man, how can he have the strength to eat such a little food?" Even if you teach, you don't have the strength to speak, right? β
Shen Tuantuan shrugged, "I don't know about the left and right, maybe people have been used to eating less and more meals since they were children, and eating finely, this appetite is small." However, because I ate such a meal, just like my brother said, I didn't dare to go to other people's houses to eat anymore, I still ate at home with peace of mind, not to mention that I was not full, let people know that I have such a big appetite, and I am not comfortable. β
Aunt Wang nodded matter-of-factly. "Isn't it, I just heard that those ladies have eaten with their belts around since they were children, and they can say that they are full when they eat half a snack on weekdays. Let's not learn from the weak and windy appearance, but we have to raise a strong and solid one, otherwise, the wind will blow and give me a headache, but it's not good at all. β
Aunt Wang told her again uneasily.
Shen Zhong looked at Shen Tuantuan and stopped talking, and kept giving Aunt Wang a look.
"I heard you also bought a subordinate?" Aunt Wang wanted to ask for a long time, but she was afraid that Shen Tuantuan would be shy, so after thinking about it, she still started with casual things.
