156 To each his own mind
Different from what Shen Tuantuan expected, Niu Hongmei, who couldn't bear the loneliness, came to Shen's house every once in a while to find Shen Tuantuan to play after winning Shen Tuantuan's invitation.
No matter what Shen Tuantuan is doing, Niu Hongmei will come if she wants to.
Sometimes, Shen Tuantuan was sleeping in a daze on the bed, and Niu Hongmei was not ambiguous, kicked her shoes, and climbed into Shen Tuantuan's bed. I had to pester Shen Tuantuan to get up.
Thanks to Niu Hongmei's blessing, Shen Tuantuan did not get sick once this winter. Because, Niu Hongmei would come to Shen's house to report almost every day, and she didn't do anything, so she had to pull Shen Tuantuan out. Niu Hongmei also had nowhere to go, so she dragged Shen Tuantuan around the village. Once, after being seen by Shen Sanya, she immediately became in crisis, and she only felt that Niu Hongmei, a scheming little lady, wanted to rob her of the group!
So, from the original two-person line, to the threesome.
Because Shen Tuantuan was dragged by these two, he walked around the village several times a day, and his body and bones were much better, and his complexion was ruddy every day. It's a blessing in disguise.
For the daily asceticism of these three people, passers-by in Taohuazhuang have different ideas.
Since the beating of Niu Hongmei has gone from occasional, to often, and then to the recent daily report, Ning Nanxing has bitterness and can't say.
Ning Nanxing has not forgotten that Niu Hongmei covets him! To his beauty! Therefore, when he heard Niu Hongmei's voice ringing in the Shen family, Ning Nanxing began to lock the door and read a book in the room silently. It's just that Niu Hongmei has been coming day by day, from early in the morning to before the sun sets, occupying Shen Tuantuan every day, and Ning Nanxing has forgotten how long he hasn't seen Shen Tuantuan.
Recently, Niu Hongmei's house has been even more excessive, and even dinner was eaten at Shen's house.
After eating this meal, I became obsessed with the Shen family's food. The sun never sets.
The cow mother also specially sent a large strip of pork to cook the food, which was planned to stay in the Shen family.
Ning Nanxing could only sigh, lamenting that his fate was difficult.
Shen Sanya recently said that she was very busy, and she couldn't take care of Shen Tuantuan, who was about to be snatched away by Niu Hongmei.
Her mother's illness has not improved, and this time it is different from the previous anger, pretending to be sick is really pretending to be sick. The illness is like a mountain, but I have lost a lot of weight, and I don't have much strength to scold people. Shen Sanya scolded Fang Xing'er every day, and served her mother on the other hand.
Shen Sanya is a tiger, and when she really can't be separated, she went to warn Niu Hongmei not to think about using her brains.
Shen Sanya: If you want to get close to Ning Nanxing, when my mother recovers, I will help you!
Niu Hongmei: Hmph, who is rare!
Shen Sanya: Stay away from my family!
Niu Hongmei: I'm the only one who doesn't have this now.
Shen Sanya was about to be defeated by Niu Hongmei's brazenness, so she took the time to pester Shen Tuantuan.
Shen Sanya: Huh, my group is leaving me!
Shen Tuantuan: ......
Shen Sanya: If you don't speak, you don't speak, Tuan Tuan has changed your mind!
Shen Tuantuan: ......
In this way, Shen Sanya, who was not relieved, scolded Fang Xing'er even more jubilantly.
As for Fang Xing'er, who was scolded, from time to time she could see Niu Hongmei and Shen Tuantuan wandering around the village, and she heard that Niu Hongmei took some snacks to lure her out in order to coax Shen Tuantuan out. Fang Xing'er couldn't help but think that in the past, she coaxed Niu Hongmei, and she was displeased by the Niu family.
The injuries on Fang Xing'er's face had already scabbed, and she really wanted to marry Shen Shishi. Shen Shishi is now backed by the Shen family, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, he will definitely be able to thrive every day, and after saving money in the future, and doing some small business, will he still be worried about this day?
Fang Xing'er is also a successful person, if she really listened to her mother's words and married in the city, although it was a big family's house-filling, but who knows if that person stepped into the coffin with half a foot, or if there was some unspeakable hidden disease. Otherwise, how could you come to find a house in such a small village! How could it be her turn!
It's not as good as Shen Shi, as long as you get through this hard life, you will be bitter. Moreover, Fang Xing'er knew very well that Shen Shishi had always liked herself, and she had been since she was a child. For her, she has always been responsive.
It's just that she didn't expect that her mother had already received the deposit from that family one after another!
Eighty taels!
This is forcing her to die!
Because Sanya Niang was angry, the Shen family would not come to the door to ask for marriage again, and after this incident, the people next to him naturally would not come to the door again to ask for marriage.
So, as her mother said, either die or marry......
In the Peach Blossom Village, there is another person who is also worried.
Because these days, the number of times I have met Shen Tuantuan can be counted on several fingers.
On this day, the weather was wonderful.
The Liu family is tidying up things in the yard, and the New Year will be in ten days. The Liu family used to think about tidying up early, and when it was time to sweep the dust, they didn't have to be in a hurry.
Liu Shi took out the salt jar and wiped it, the salt jar had already bottomed out, "Hey, the salt seller, why hasn't he come this year, it's almost the New Year." In previous years, it had already come. ”
Shen Wan was embroidering a purse, a sky-blue purse, and Liu Shi just glanced at it and didn't take it to heart. Shen Wan has already made a marriage, and she should indeed start embroidering the small objects that she will give to the Wu family in the New Year. There are many Wu families, and it takes a lot of effort to just make such a small object.
As soon as Shen Wan raised her head, she heard her mother's chattering and stopped threading. "Mother, now that we have my father's income, we don't lack so much money, so you don't buy that salt anymore. You can't eat much salt in a day, so there's no need to take the risk. ”
As soon as the Liu family heard Shen Wan's complaint, they were immediately unhappy. "Who am I doing this for! Who am I saving so much for! Do you think that's all you need all year round? Look at our pickled dishes, don't all of them use salt? Otherwise, do you think there are still vegetables to eat all year round? It's really not a home, I don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are! ”
Shen Wan slumped, she knew that she had nothing to say to her mother.
Liu's heart is now smooth, and her temper has been restrained a lot, and Shen Xiao has taken her a little gentle. After scolding his daughter, Liu felt that his tone just now was a little heavier, so he opened his mouth and explained: "Mother is also for this family, you will marry in the city next year, your two younger brothers are still young, and my mother wants to carry your father behind her back and paste a little more silver to you." It is also good that you can gain a firm foothold in your mother-in-law's house, so as not to be looked down upon by your mother-in-law and your concubine. ”
Shen Wan lowered her head, "Mother, I don't need this silver, just keep it for my brother to marry a daughter-in-law." ”
The Liu family thought that Shen Wan was shy, and she was also happy to miss her daughter's home. It's not like raising a white-eyed wolf. "Don't worry, when your brother grows up and is going to marry a daughter-in-law, your father has saved a lot of silver. My mother has already passed it, and my mother always wants you to marry beautifully. ”
Shen Xiao's wages, plus the income in the fields, can save a lot of silver.
"You also know your father's temperament, don't blame your father, your father also loves you in the end. said that the bride money under the Wu family was for you to take back, which is rare in our village. You also saw Fang Xing'er and her family, her mother really wants to sell her daughter! ”
A character like Liu's family, when it comes to Fang Xing'er and her mother, she can only shake her head.
"I know that my father and mother love me, otherwise, I wouldn't have done any work since I was a child. Even the group of Uncle Bi's family is not as blessed as me. "Everyone in the village said that Shen Zhong loved his daughter, but Shen Tuantuan still had to work. Laundry and cooking, growing vegetables and raising chickens, everything.
And she, Shen Wan, only takes a hand when the Liu family is busy, except for taking over the laundry work at home, she doesn't need her for other things at all.
Therefore, compared to Shen Tuantuan, he is much happier.
"You have a conscience! Mother is not raising you for nothing. "Although the Liu family is a little stingy outside, they really don't have anything to say to Shen Wan. No one would have thought that the Liu family would be a girl who hurts like this.
"In the future, if I get rich, I will definitely repay my mother well." Shen Wan said with an oath.
"Hey, my good girl, my mother is waiting for this day." The Liu family happily agreed, originally wanting Shen Wan to go to Shen Zhong's house to borrow a little salt, but now he also stopped thinking.
Her daughter is going to marry Xiucailang in the future, how can she bend down and beg for such a little salt.
Liu Shi held the salt jar and instructed Shen Wan to take care of the family, "Mother go to your uncle's house to borrow a little salt." I heard that the widow bought several catties of salt a few days earlier. I'm going to borrow a little bit and come back to deal with this year. ”
Although Shen Wan disagreed, she didn't want her mother to scold people, so after thinking about it, she stopped persuading her, and she borrowed it left and right, not that she didn't pay it back.
Liu held the salt jar before he left the hospital, and saw that Shen De's daughter-in-law Wu next door was also about to go out. "Wan'er, mother, what are you doing?"
"I'll go to his uncle's house—" Although there is often friction between the Liu family and the Wu family, but in the end, they live next door, and they don't see each other when they look up, and since they ask well, the Liu family is also willing to answer well.
Wu nodded knowingly, and then looked at the jar in Liu's arms, "This seems to be a salt jar, right?" ”
"Well, the salt shaker has bottomed out, I'm going to borrow some salt, go back and buy it, and return it." Liu said, and left first.
Wu saw that Liu was gone, so he turned around and went back to his yard, "Phew, what are you doing, you have to borrow a little salt, I don't believe it, can this be returned?" This face almost says give me some salt! ”
Shen Linglan was sitting under the corridor embroidering, and her mother was afraid that she would hurt her eyes, so she had to let her move the embroidery frame to the corridor. Hearing her mother say this, she was happy, "Listening to my mother say this, I thought my mother recognized the words!" ”
"Hmph, narrow ghost, you still arranged your mother!" Wu twisted his waist back to the house.
Shen Linglan sighed, she knew that her mother was unhappy for her, but Shen Wan was Shen Wan, she was her, they just lived next door, if they had to talk about it, even if they were members of the Shen family, they would be nothing.
