On the second day of August, Shen Xiao's birthday.

Early in the morning, Shen Zhong got up and deliberately grinded a large plate of tofu.

By the time Shen Tuantuan's brothers and sisters got up, the porridge in the pot was already warm, and it was time to eat. Shen Tuantuan glanced at Shen Zhong, who was sweating profusely, "Dad, it's time to eat—"

"Eat, I've already eaten. Today is your second uncle's birthday, I will send a plate of tofu to your second uncle, and our family next to it can't take it out, and this tofu will take a little effort-" When Shen Zhong spoke, he deliberately glanced at the looks of a pair of children, and saw that the two of them did not look abnormal, so he relieved his heart.

Yesterday, the Liu family came over and said that Shen Zhong's family would go there for a light meal. Although it was just a light meal, Shen Zhong still couldn't congratulate Shen Xiao on his birthday empty-handed.

In previous years, this silver was in Shen Zhong's hands, and Shen Zhong would buy a few catties of meat, half a basket of eggs, and a few pieces of tofu as a birthday gift. But when it came to muttering, Shen Zhong couldn't open his mouth. His family originally didn't have a few copper plates, if it weren't for the way Tuan Tuan came up with to earn two taels to come in, his family would probably have to eat thin porridge until the autumn harvest.

"Then Dad also went to take a shower, I saw that Dad was soaking wet, just like he had been soaked in water." Shen Tuantuan distressed and urged Shen Zhong to hurry up and take a shower, this tofu was already ready. "Dad's clothes are changed, and I'll go wash them in a while."

Shen Zhong shook the shirt that was sticking to his body, "Don't be so troublesome, I didn't sweat when I went to the docks-"

Shen Changzhi didn't speak, sitting quietly at the table drinking porridge, and heard Shen Tuantuan standing under the porch with an empty stomach talking to Shen Zhong for a long time, and he didn't let Shen Zhong change his mind. "Tuan Tuan said, don't go to the dock today, talk to the second uncle."

Hearing Shen Changzhi's cold voice, Shen Zhong was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't see his eldest son with his back to him in the courtyard, but Shen Zhong compromised. I went back to my room to get my clothes, carried a bucket of water, and went to the backyard to take a shower.

Shen Tuantuan sat down, "Hey, brother, you still have the ability." I persuaded my father, but my father refused to listen. ”

Shen Tuantuan, who had just gotten up, had a somewhat confused and hoarse voice.

"Didn't sleep well yesterday?" Shen Changzhi's cold voice couldn't help but bring a little worry, if it goes on for such a long time, I'm afraid Shen Tuantuan's body won't be able to hold it.

Shen Tuantuan was reluctant to say more to make Shen Changzhi worried, "It's okay-"

"Otherwise, I'll fan you at night, so you can get a good night's sleep."

Shen Tuantuan hurriedly waved his hand, Shen Changzhi fanned himself, wouldn't it be that Shen Changzhi didn't sleep all night? Shen Changzhi still has a lot of things to do during the day, and Shen Tuantuan is not willing to toss people because of his stinky problem. "It's been a lot better these days, and I'm able to fall asleep in a daze. I catch up on sleep during the day, and I'm alive again. ”

Shen Changzhi confirmed again and again before he stopped thinking. "I'm going to the city today, and this time I'm getting a little less books." Shen Changzhi thought that since he had made up his mind not to take the road of the imperial examination anymore, he would simply talk to the owner of the bookstore, and he could copy the book next to him.

Shen Tuantuan bit his chopsticks and secretly glanced at Shen Changzhi, last time, when Shen Changzhi went to the city, he stuffed a cloth bag into her house, Shen Tuantuan didn't pay attention to it at first, and waited a few days before opening it, Hao Ran found that it was a peach-pink cloth.

Of course, Shen Tuantuan knew that this was Shen Changzhi's intention, otherwise he wouldn't have a small face tangled in one place at this time, and looked at Shen Changzhi's face cautiously. "Otherwise, take the cloth and return it? Brother, you know, I have a lot of dresses. ”

"You've already gone out of filial piety, so put away your plain clothes. A little girl, dressed like an old lady every day, is also a shame that you can wear it. ”

Shen Tuantuan took a deep breath, let's endure it this time!

Shen Changzhi has an obvious sense of getting up, so when he is free, Shen Tuantuan is reluctant to provoke Shen Changzhi in the morning. At this time, Shen Tuantuan had to sigh, Shen Changzhi deserved to be a scholar, and he could choke people to death when he said it one by one.

But obviously, Shen Changzhi did not intend to let Shen Tuantuan go. "You just want to return, and I've forgotten which cloth house bought it. I was in a hurry to get home, and when I saw this touch of peach pink on the side of the road, I went in and bought it—"

Shen Tuantuan didn't answer and drank porridge with his head bored.

"If you don't like it, I'll go to the city today and buy you a ready-to-wear outfit?" When Shen Changzhi asked this sentence, it was not a tone of concern and spoiling, but mockery. The words were full of ridicule, mocking Shen Tuantuan's eyes, this peach pink is the best seller in this city, and it is said that it is still the popular color of this year.

Shen Tuantuan roared in his heart, buy it, buy it, it's best to buy all your deposits!

Hey, in the end, I was worried about the money, Shen Tuantuan drooped his head very unplanted, "I like it, I cut the fabric today!" Shen Tuantuan bit the words and said word by word, Shen Changzhi did not notice Shen Tuantuan's emotions at all.

In other words, even if you find out, you don't find it.

What's more, Shen Tuantuan's emotions successfully pleased Shen Changzhi, and Shen Changzhi's wake-up anger was successfully smoothed.

Sure enough, one's own happiness is based on the pain of others!

"Well, let me also see, can my family Tuan Tuan compare with the little lady in the city?"

She doesn't want to compare with those bewitching little ladies! "Humph!"

Before Shen Changzhi went out, he pulled the door frame and looked at Shen Tuantuan affectionately, "Tuan Tuan, since you like the peach-pink fabric so much, do you want to return the money to me?" ”

"Don't think!"

"Who likes that peach-pink one!"

Shen Changzhi pursed his mouth, "The little lady should wear a beautiful color!" ”

Shen Tuantuan scolded the straight man in his heart!

Looking at Shen Changzhi carrying the back basket, the aggrieved back can be regarded as a sigh of relief!

Shen Tuantuan washed the family's clothes next to his well, and hesitated for a long time to go to Shen Xiao's house to help, but he really couldn't bear the increasingly intense sun, "Forget it, Dad has already gone anyway, so I don't have to do anything!" ”

Persuading himself like this, Shen Tuantuan lay down on the recliner under the tree with peace of mind.

Whew—It's hot.

Shen Tuantuan deliberately wiped the recliner before lying down, but the effect was very small.

Ning Nanxing was in the vegetable garden, looking at Shen Tuantuan under the big tree, lazily shaking the pu fan, turning over and over.

Since that day, Shen Tuantuan said with her actions that she didn't have the patience to listen to Ning Nanxing's words, Ning Nanxing has been temperamental and doesn't go to Shen Tuantuan, but who would have thought that if he didn't go to Shen Tuantuan, Shen Tuantuan really wouldn't come to him, and he might not even think that there was a person like him.

The more Ning Nanxing thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was too great!

In this way, Ning Nanxing became angry, and locked himself in the house all day long, which made the old man Ning think that Ning Nanxing was sick and knocked on the door several times a day.

Looking at Shen Tuantuan who was tossing and turning, Ning Nanxing felt distressed for a moment, but when he thought that this girl just couldn't sleep well and didn't find herself to play a fan, Ning Nanxing was angry!

"Yes!"

Ning Nanxing picked two cucumbers in the courtyard of the Shen family, and the two tomatoes went to his house.

Old man Ning looked at the two bowls of vegetables on the table, cucumbers and tomatoes, swallowed his saliva, and just wanted to speak, he was interrupted by Ning Nanxing.

"Since my grandfather has already started to swallow my saliva, let's ask my grandfather to eat first. Uncle Shen told me that if I wanted to eat, I would go to his vegetable garden to pick them, because there were so many vegetables in his vegetable garden that I couldn't finish eating. If Grandfather likes it, I'll make it for you every day. Ning Nanxing also heard Shen Zhong say that Shen Tuantuan would pick the vegetables that were getting old and pickle them to make sauerkraut every few days.

Old man Ning covered his heart, and the drama was very full. "Nanxing, your grandfather is already a handful of years old, and my greatest wish in this life is to watch you marry and have children-"

Ning Nanxing's right eye jumped with it.

"Then it looks like grandfather is going to live a little longer." Ningnan Star has been like a bucket these days, and you can make small Mars without lighting it.

Old man Ning was choked for a moment, put down the hand covering his heart, and picked up the chopsticks resignedly. "Xing'er—"

"Don't scream so disgusting!"

Ahem cough cough –

"Nanxing, your grandfather is old, and if he eats these two dishes every day, his body will not be able to bear it! Grandfather wanted to live a little longer, too. "Old man Ning is very aggrieved, he came to such a remote mountain village in order to take care of Ning Nanxing, but where did he think of it, Ning Nanxing suddenly starved him!

Ning Nanxing sandwiched a tomato, refreshing and delicious, good. "Didn't my grandfather listen to the master of Xishan Temple, eating a vegetarian diet is good for the body. I, a young man with strong blood, sacrificed my life to accompany my grandfather to be vegetarian, what is my grandfather dissatisfied with? ”

Xishan Temple is a temple that the old man Ning used to go to. For the Buddhism and masters of Xishan Temple, Old Man Ning is very respectful.

Old man Ning was so stunned that he couldn't do anything, but he still picked up the bowl and drank a mouthful of porridge. continued to suggest without giving up, only hoping that Ning Nanxing would listen to a word.

"Grandson, you cold cucumber, at least add a little vinegar to mix it, right? This whole root has been cut into two pieces, how can you eat this-"

"Hold it in your hands and eat it!"

"Grandson, don't save sugar on your cold tomatoes, we have sugar at home, you cut it into slices, pour some sugar on it, and eat it by stumbling." What's the matter with your whole tomato, cut it in half—"

"It's just two of us, one and a half, fair, no one should eat more."

Old man Ning was teary-eyed, he didn't know what was wrong with his grandson, he had been eating cucumber segments for several days in a row, and cut tomatoes in half......

When the sun was about to set in the west, Old Man Ning finally couldn't hold back, and when Ning Nanxing sharpened his knife towards the cucumber, Old Man Ning snatched the kitchen knife with his hand......

Accidentally, Old Man Ning's fingers were cut by a kitchen knife, and he was bleeding.

"I told you a long time ago, the sword has no eyes, you see, you have to rob me!"

Old man Ning cried in his heart, and ate another meal of cucumber segments and cut tomatoes in half......
