087 Back to the village
On the second day, I looked at a few shops, but Shen Tuantuan didn't see anything he liked. It's not that the place is too remote, or the price is too high.
It was Shen Chunyun who found a suitable shop, and Shen Tuantuan helped Shen Chunyun move a new shop, and came back early the next morning.
Shen Chunyun packed a lot of things and asked Shen Tuantuan to bring them back.
Liu heard the sound of carriages from a distance, there were few carriages in Taohuazhuang, and Liu stood in the courtyard and saw Shen Tuantuan sitting in the carriage, as well as a carriage of things. Liu's smile became more and more genuine. "Tuan Tuan, you came back from the city, how is your aunt, is the family okay?"
"Very good." Shen Tuantuan responded, "By the way, my little aunt also asked me to bring something, if the second aunt is free, come and get it, right?" ”
"Great! I'll be free at this moment, so I'll go with the carriage. The Liu family was afraid that Shen Tuantuan would hide the things that Shen Chunyun had brought, so he trotted along with the carriage.
Waiting to help the things move out of the car, Shen Tuantuan thanked the uncle who drove the car, and Liu began to pull the things in the basket. "Wow, how come there is so much meat!"
Hearing the sound of the carriage, Shen Changzhi, who was in the house, walked out, "Tuan Tuan, why don't you say a word when you come back, I'll pick you up." When he saw Liu, he also opened his mouth and called, "The second aunt is also at my house-"
The Liu family doesn't care about the meaning of Shen Changzhi's words, the Liu family's attitude towards Shen Zhong's family has been so good recently, not to mention the side, it is just for Shen Xiao's salary of 800 Wen, which is almost worth a part-time job in the city.
"Changzhi is also at home, your father and they are still resting, and your second uncle is also asleep." Liu Shi glanced at the basket again, said a few polite words, but didn't hold back, but still squatted down and turned over the things in the basket.
"With such a big piece of meat, this is estimated to be about ten catties, right? Ah, and two more pieces of meat! Liu didn't care about the greasy, and came out with a plate of meat, "This one is a lot of pork belly!" ”
"My aunt specially bought meat, one board for each family, and the second aunt can choose whichever one you like." Shen Tuantuan was naturally reluctant to worry about these trivial matters.
Liu happily agreed, holding a piece of meat in one hand and comparing the weight of the two pieces of meat. It is estimated that it is almost the same, and secretly said, Shen Chunyun is really good at doing things. Pick left and right, and finally take a fatty one.
"Your aunt is so polite every time, and she brings things home every once in a while."
Liu Shi glanced at the burden in the bamboo basket again, and estimated that it should be Shen Tuantuan's. "Did your aunt ask you to bring me a message? Earlier, your aunt said that it was your sister Wan'er's family affair wrapped up in her. Now that your sister Wan'er is about to die, if there is no reply from your aunt, I will find someone to keep an eye on it in the nearby village. ”
Shen Tuantuan didn't think that there was such a thing, and shook his head in a daze. "Is Sister Wan'er going to say kiss so soon? Isn't it too late to find someone slowly? ”
Liu Shi smiled brightly, "If you wait until you get to Ji Lu and then go to Zhang Luoke, it will be too late, and this good family will be picked away." That is, look at each other first, if there is a suitable one, do not rush to settle down, and wait until the meeting is completed and then decided. Your mother went early, if there is a suitable one, I will also pay attention to your brothers and sisters, who made me your second aunt, these things should be. ”
"There was a little accident at my aunt's house, the original shop was taken back by the owner, and the house was occupied by my cousin's grandmother.
Liu didn't expect this to happen, and asked anxiously: "Alas, why is there such a big thing!" How about that, or I'll go to the city tomorrow? ”
"My aunt was afraid that you would be worried, so she specially asked me to bring a message, I am busy moving the shop these days, and I am afraid that I will not have time to entertain us, so I also came back. When the day is free, the little aunt will come to the village. ”
Liu nodded knowingly, "Your aunt has said so, then I won't go." Is there just two pieces of meat in this bamboo basket, and I'm not embarrassed to turn over the little lady's things. ”
Shen Tuantuan also knew that the Liu family was not looking at the bottom of the sky, which was not at ease. "There are still two catties of salt in this basket, I bought it myself, if there is no salt at the second aunt's house, grab a handful and go."
Liu Shi smiled and waved his hand, "I have a lot of salt in the salt jar at home." ”
Liu Shi seemed to have thought of something, looked outside the courtyard, and there was no movement, before approaching Shen Tuantuan and said, "If you want me to say, Tuantuan, you little lady really won't live." This official salt costs more than fifty wen a pound, right? These two catties of salt are only a hundred yuan. That's a month's worth of expenses for a large family. ”
Shen Tuantuan frowned, although this salt is expensive, it can be eaten for a short time. "Isn't the official salt at this price, is it possible that the salt of the second aunt's family can be cheap?"
Liu Shi whispered: "If it's all at this price, who can afford it." If you want to buy salt again, look for me. As long as 20 wen a catty. If you buy ten catties and eight catties at a time, even if it is pickled vegetables, it is enough for a year. You calculate, at the end of the year, even eating meat is enough for you to eat a lot. ”
"Twenty wen a pound? Is it so cheap? Shen Tuantuan exclaimed, it was the first time she knew. Therefore, even pickled vegetables are also saved from using brine.
Liu nodded mysteriously, "It's so cheap." That's why I said you little girl won't live, right? ”
Shen Tuantuan glanced at Shen Changzhi, if he remembered correctly, her brother had always bought it like this? Could it be that there is something else she doesn't know?
Shen Changzhi glanced at the Liu family and said, "What the second aunt said should be private salt, right?" ”
"Shhhh If this had been put in the past, the Liu family would not be willing to say this, but for the sake of the good relationship between the two families now, the Liu family spoke.
"But I've heard that buying and selling this thing is a felony of killing the head."
Liu Shi glanced at Shen Tuantuan, "As long as no one gets any stolen goods in this matter, the official will not be able to find out my catty and a half." Besides, who doesn't secretly buy a few catties of private salt, otherwise they will have to spend a lot of money in vain at the end of the year. ”
Shen Changzhi didn't want to say more, and he also knew that there were many people in the village who bought illicit salt. "The second aunt listened to my advice, if this thing is accidentally checked, it will really be fatal."
"Go, go, what can happen, you bought it when your grandmother was there, and I didn't see anyone in trouble. If your family has a lot of money, then use it! Liu took a piece of meat and left.
Shen Changzhi didn't want to say more about these things, "Tell me, what's wrong with them, little aunt?" ”
Shen Tuantuan didn't hide it, and told Shen Changzhi everything about the past few days, and he didn't know whether he forgot or avoided suspicion, and he didn't mention the fact that he had seen Ning Nanxing.
In the past few days when Shen Tuantuan left, as soon as it was reported that the Shen Zhong family was still recruiting, the thresholds of Shen Zhong's family and Shen Xiao's family were almost broken, and they were all here to ask for work.
Some even directly brought the price themselves, saying that as long as they gave food to eat, they did this job.
Shen Changzhi dealt with several groups of people, and the Liu family also took the opportunity to make a small fortune, because many people asked for Shen Xiao's family, and the Liu family also got benefits. It's just that in the end, Shen Changzhi and Shen Zhong brothers combined, and they still invited Shen Shi, Shen Sanya's brother. It's just that this salary is less than Shen Xiao's 100 wen.
Shen Shishi was able to get a salary of 700 Wen, Shen Shishi's family was overjoyed, and the third girl also made a special trip to the courtyard of the Shen family, saying that the salary of 700 Wen was too much.
It's just that in the end, it was still decided by Shen Changzhi, and in the past few days, the three girls have also come over to help cook with food, and they have meat every meal. Shen Changzhi wanted to give silver, but the three girls didn't follow it, so they helped for several days.
Without waiting for Shen Changzhi to finish explaining, Shen Sanya rushed into the courtyard. "Tuan Tuan, I just went to the river to wash my clothes, and when I heard that you were back, I washed my clothes indiscriminately and came over."
Shen Changzhi glanced at Shen Sanya, Shen Sanya had been running a little diligently to his house recently. "If you have anything else to ask, just ask Shen Sanya, she has been in the village a lot, maybe she knows more than I know."
"Tuan Tuan, you are back, tomorrow is Niu Hongmei and his second brother are going to get married, let's go to see the bride tomorrow!" Shen Sanya happily took Shen Tuantuan's hand. "You haven't been at home for the past few days, don't you know that Niu Hongmei and Fang Xing'er are just like a person again."
"When have the two of them been bad, haven't they always been as good as one person?"
Shen Sanya touched her neck, "It seems to be the same." But don't you feel awkward? I looked a little panicked. ”
"Hey, I guess Niu Hongmei doesn't know yet."
Shen Sanya nodded, "Well, if you know, according to Niu Hongmei's temperament, I estimate that you should be able to fight!" ”
Shen Tuan smiled thiefly, "Not necessarily, maybe Niu Hongmei loves her deeply, and thinks that a good sister should like the same man?" ”
Shen Sanya's eyes widened, it was the first time she had heard of these things. "How else can this be?"
Shen Tuantuan spread his hands, "Who knows!" ”
Shen Tuantuan moved the meat in the basket to the well, and just wanted to fetch water, he was robbed by Shen Sanya, "You rest, I'll come, I'll come!" My mother has been in a good mood lately, knowing that I was coming to your house, she actually asked me to come with a smile, and said that I should take care of you more, saying that you have little strength, unlike me, who is used to work. ”
"It's only been a few days, is there something going on that I don't know?"
"My brother got your family's job, and the whole village rushed to do it, but I didn't think about it, but I asked my brother to rob it. My mother was stunned and knelt in front of the ancestral ranking for an hour. ”
"That means your brother can do the job. What's the matter with me, let's talk about it, what we've been like in the future, otherwise, I don't want to have anything to do with you. Look awkward. Shen Tuantuan fetched water from Shen Sanya and washed the meat.
"Cheng, I listen to you. Anyway, that's what my mother told me, let me listen to you, I won't lose. Shen Sanya smiled happily, wherever Shen Tuantuan walked, Shen Sanya followed.
"Hasn't my brother been saying kiss lately? Do you know? This will be said that the daughter of a family in Wangjiawan has not yet reached the end of time, so she is in such a hurry to start looking at each other. ”
