Chapter 17 Looking at the child daughter-in-law

When the Shen family got the news, all the villagers in the village had already smashed the village chief's house.

"This bastard surnamed Qian has taken away all the life-saving food in the whole village, and he is still at this juncture, he is simply losing his conscience!" Guan Er's sister-in-law's scolding could be heard clearly from a distance.

Shen Xiaoyu looked at the villagers, all of them were sad, now the grain collected by each family is gone, and there is no hope for eating white-flour dumplings for the New Year.

"Sister Fenglan, you're here." Guan Er's sister-in-law looked at Cui Fenglan and said hello.

Father Shen saw that the houses that the village chief's family had smashed were leaking, so he said, "What should the villagers do now?" There is not much surplus food in each family, and it is difficult to survive until the beginning of spring. ”

Guan Er's sister-in-law sighed: "There is no way, there is really no way to live in the village, our family just discussed, if it doesn't work, go south, go farther to join your relatives." ”

Shen Xiaoyu looked at this, and remembered that when the village chief Qian came to her house to collect grain, he still mentioned his father and fellow villagers, and now the surname Qian has run away!

"What a shame!" Shen Xiaoyu held her breath and kicked it, it was a pity that the food given by her family was a pity, and she fed such a bastard!

Although the village chief's family ran away, it was not particularly desperate, after all, the village chief did not collect much food, which was used for emergencies. The villagers scolded enough, smashed enough, and went home first, and the Shen family also went home.

It was getting late and late, and there was a wail and a howl in the village, which scared Shen Xiaoyu into a thrill.

"What is the child howling about this New Year?" Father Shen muttered, he was also startled just now.

Cui Fenglan listened carefully to the crying voice and said, "Doesn't it sound like Erniu's family in this direction?" ”

Shen Xiaoyu came to the door and listened carefully, and said, "It seems that it is really Erniu's fool's Lai Jijing!" ”

Cui Fenglan sighed: "Erniu, their family is afraid that they are going to die again, they have many families, the village chief has run away again, and there is no way to relieve them, this year, where can their family live well?" ”

Shen Xiaoyu thought about the shrew Sun Cui of Erniu's family, and the fish that Erniu and his two brothers robbed her that day, so she pursed her lips.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Cui Fenglan took out the fried oil shuttle early in the morning, chopped the chopped pieces, and the green onion and cabbage were also picked up and chopped into filling, and then went to knead the noodles.

"Auntie, it's still so early!" Shen Xiaoyu said that the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was still early.

Cui Fenglan said with a smile: "Just wrap it slowly." ”

Father Shen came over to take a look, and said, "Let's have more noodles, make more noodles, and send some to Erniu's family." ”

Shen Xiaoyu listened, although he felt sorry for the dumplings, but he didn't make a sound in the end. Life is too hard, and people have to have a little hope.

In the afternoon, Shen Xiaoyu went to Erniu's house with a big bowl, and the big bowl was wrapped in three layers and three layers outside, for fear that other families would see the things in the bowl.

When they arrived at Erniu's house, Da Niu and Erniu were standing in the yard, and the other brothers and sisters had red eyes, and they looked like they had just howled.

When Erniu saw Shen Xiaoyu coming, he said, "What are you doing here?" He had just been scolded, and his heart was not happy.

Shen Xiaoyu flattened his mouth and said, "Where is your father?" ”

Da Niu raised his hand and pointed to the house, but without speaking, Shen Xiaoyu entered the house first.

Sun Cui is crying, Sun Cui's man's surname is Liang, he is honest on weekdays, he listens to Sun Cui's words very much, and the people in the village call him Liang Laoshi.

"Aunt Cui, Uncle Liang, Happy New Year." Shen Xiaoyu entered the house and bowed to the New Year first.

Sun Cui saw that Shen Xiaoyu was coming, raised his hand to wipe his face, and said, "Xiaoyu is here, Happy New Year!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu put down the big bowl he was holding in his arms first, and then opened the cloth he was holding outside little by little, and then a large bowl of white dumplings appeared in front of several people.

Sun Cui was stunned for a moment, looked at Liang Laoshi, and then asked Shen Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, ...... are you?"

At the door, the big cows, two cows and three tigers were all blocked at the door, looking at the dumplings on the table, their eyes were bright.

"My father said that let our family pass the New Year first, and the dumplings at home will be wrapped more, and the oil shuttle fillings will be fragrant." Shen Xiaoyu said that this time the big bowl has to weigh two catties, which is enough for their family.

Sun Cui was surprised, and then asked Shen Xiaoyu: "Your father asked me to send it?" ”

Shen Xiaoyu nodded: "Well, my aunt said that my family is in the early years." Putting down the dumplings, Shen Xiaoyu left first.

As soon as Shen Xiaoyu left, the children outside the door rushed in, Sun Cui reacted, and quickly stopped the children first, there were too many children, and it was not okay to rob them indiscriminately.

Liang honestly looked at the dumplings on the table and said, "This Shen family is really a benevolent and righteous family." ”

Sun Cui thought about it for a while, and then lectured a few children: "None of you can bully Xiaoyu in the future, you know!" "How did the Shen family's food come from, the whole village knows that they can send their family a bowl of dumplings today, and the weight of this dumpling is needless to say, even if it is Sun Cui, who is usually domineering, he has to be convinced at this time.

Shen Xiaoyu trotted all the way home, patted the cool air when he got home, and then said, "I'm back, the dumplings have been delivered, let's eat them too!" ”

Although there is no fish and meat in the past year, the Shen family eats better, and on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Daddy Shen has no relatives to leave, and the three of them are at home. When it came to the second year of junior high school, Cui Fenglan had to go back to the door, and the Shen family went to Cui Lao Xiucai's side, and Father Shen still brought a chicken as a gift, so he couldn't go empty-handed.

Cui Laoxiu knew that Father Shen had a daughter, and he also heard Cui Fenglan say that this child was a good child.

"Come and sit down, there's nothing to entertain at home." Cui Lao Xiucai said that he is an old light pole at home now, and there is no difference between the New Year and usual.

Shen Xiaoyu looked at the calligraphy and paintings hanging in Cui Lao Xiucai's house, and the words on them were unknown to him, so he read a few of them.

"Is this girl literate?" Cui Laoxiu looked at Shen Xiaoyu and said, "The appearance is also dexterous. ”

Cui Fenglan said: "I have been teaching for a few days, and the child is smart!" ”

Cui Lao Xiucai nodded: "A woman should be knowledgeable." ”

Father Shen also knows a few words when he sees his daughter, not to mention Cui Lao Xiucai and Cui Fenglan, so at a glance, it seems that he is a white eye, and he is a little embarrassed.

Shen Xiaoyu looked at the calligraphy and painting with a smile and said, "This painting is really good, although I don't understand it, but I feel comfortable when I look at it." ”

Cui Laoxiu laughed: "It's a clever baby, and you usually teach more." "Although he doesn't think much of Daddy Shen, he likes this little girl.

Cui Fenglan is happy, it is not easy to let her father praise two words.

After the family had a meal, the Shen family left, and when they returned home, Father Shen said to Cui Fenglan: "The old man is old, and it is really not safe to live alone." "And the Cui family's old house is also in disrepair, it looks like a dilapidated house, no matter how good the calligraphy and paintings in the house are, the house is too dilapidated.

Cui Fenglan said: "My mother went early, I am the only one at home, and my father is ......."

When Father Shen heard this, he said, "Why don't the old man take it over, and when the weather is warm, it won't take much to build a mud house next to it." ”

Cui Fenglan was surprised: "Let my father be on this?" It's unlikely, my father is old and stubborn, and he won't be happy to remarry his daughter who marries out, and if he lives in his son-in-law's house again, my father is afraid that he will be ......."

Shen Xiaoyu didn't think there was anything wrong, so he said: "A son-in-law is still half a child, what is there to live here." She likes Cui Lao Xiucai very much, and always feels that scholars have their own "fairy spirit", even if they live in the village, they have a lot of spirit than ordinary farmers.

Father Shen smiled: "Xiaoyu has said it, let's come here, our family is young, and it is lively to live together." ”

Cui Fenglan saw that Father Shen said this, so she said, "Then wait for the weather to get warmer, and I'll go talk to my father." ”

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the Shen family's small stalls continued to be set up, and some of the shops in the city began to open on the sixth day of the first month, and the tenth day of the first month of the market returned to normal.

Catch up with the New Year, these embroideries embroidered by Cui Fenglan are also selling well, the red handkerchief is festive, and it is selling faster, and the basket on Daddy Shen's side is also in good condition, and every family has new tools for the New Year, not only the basket sells well, but also some bamboo rakes are sold, and people who have a garden at home can use it.

Shen Xiaoyu looked at the business so well, his face was excited, the goldfish purse was getting more and more bulging, and he was about to be unable to fit it.

After a busy morning, the market was about to disperse, and Shen Xiaoyu gave the goldfish purse to Cui Fenglan.

"What's wrong with Xiaoyu, why don't you take it yourself?" Cui Fenglan was surprised.

Shen Xiaoyu looked embarrassed: "I haven't taken so much money before, I ...... I'm afraid of losing! "It's better to give it to adults.

Cui Fenglan laughed, and Father Shen said at this time: "You just take it, the child believes in you." He also trusts Cui Fenglan in his heart, living together for so many days, he also knows what kind of person Cui Fenglan is, where can he still believe it?

Cui Fenglan shook her head, gave the money to Shen Xiaoyu, and said: "Just keep it, Xiaoyu will definitely have more and more money in our family in the future, you have to take care of it." ”

The three members of the Shen family packed up their stalls and prepared to go home from the city. There was a carriage walking slowly on the side of the road, and a gust of wind blew, and the curtain of the carriage was blown, and the eyes of the people in the carriage lit up.

Qin Huaijin had a hard time going out today, or because he had to visit the door to have the opportunity to come out, just now, he seemed to have seen the "child daughter-in-law" he had set!

Qin Huaijin lifted the curtain of the car again, and sure enough, it was the little girl.

"Huai Jin, it's cold outside." Qian Yuemei saw her son open the curtain, afraid that her son would catch a cold.

Qin Huaijin looked at Shen Xiaoyu outside holding a small cloth bag in his arms with a smile on his face, he looked at it and smiled, and then put down the curtain.

Qian Yuemei saw a smile on her son's face, so she asked, "What is this looking at?" "Look outward, too.

"It's nothing, it's lively outside, I feel good about everything." Qin Huaijin said.

Qian Yuemei sighed: "If it weren't for Wang Xiuyan's mother and son, you wouldn't have to pretend to be sick, you can see the excitement anywhere!" ”

Qin Huaijin smiled and didn't speak, his father wanted to marry a little wife, and her mother felt that the little wife was always going to harm herself, and the days of the Qin family were really smoky.
