Shen Zhilei reminded her in a deep voice: "I can warn you, you are not allowed to mention anything about Xiaoxi to outsiders, otherwise I won't be able to protect you if my father blames you!" ”

Wu glanced at Shen Zhilei and said, "You are stupid to me!" ”

Shen Zhilei smiled innocently and said, "My daughter-in-law is not stupid!" ”

Wu glared at him with disgust, blushed and went to do needlework on his own.

In the afternoon, Shen Zaishi went home, took the five hundred taels of silver prepared by Shen Mengxi and went out again. When Shen Zaishi came back in the evening, he was smiling and walking a lot brisker.

"Grandfather! Is it done? Shen Mengxi ran over and stood in front of Shen Zaishi, looking at Shen Zaishi with his neck tilted.

Shen Zaishi nodded with a smile and said, "It has been measured, plus a total of fifty acres of land around the woods and the river beach, according to the price of the wasteland, the river really cost a lot of silver, adding up to a total of four hundred and fifty taels." I gave another ten taels and asked Baozheng to go to the county yamen tomorrow to get the title deed. ”

"Grandfather! Grandfather! The fruit trees in the woods are our family from now on, aren't they? Shall we eat the fruit as hard as we can? That's great! That's great! Shen Mengxu's little bun shouted excitedly, bouncing and having fun.

"No! The fruit will be made into dried fruit in our house, and it will be sold for silver. Shen Menghan frowned and grabbed Shen Mengxu to prevent him from jumping again.

Shen Zaishi lovingly touched the heads of his two grandsons and said, "We can leave some for a few of you to eat, and when our orchard is built in the future, you will be able to eat more!" ”

"Really? Grandfather! Shen Mengxu asked with big round eyes and looking up at Shen Zaishi with his neck up.

"Hmmm! Grandfather counts when he speaks! ”

"Oh! Oh! That's great! We have an orchard in our house, and we can eat the fruit! Shen Mengxu and Shen Menghan cheered happily and ran to play.

Three days later, Zhang Baozheng returned to Xiangfu Village from the county seat and brought back the title deed of the Shen family, because this time the Shen family's big house produced the most silver, so after asking the husband and wife of the three rooms, the title deed was written in the name of Shen Zaishi. Sanfang added another one or two to the forty-five taels of silver earned by the bookbox, and Shen Zaishi did not calculate the silver needed by Jiangnan with them, so the brothers were not so careful.

In the future, after the Shen family gets up, they will always be informed of the affairs of Wanbang Qianzhuang, and when the time comes, the share that Shen Zaishi deserves from the second and third rooms will never be missing them. Now I choose to hide them, because I am afraid that they don't know the severity, and after they suddenly get rich, they will no longer have the heart to be aggressive.

After the land is done, it is time for the autumn harvest. The Shen family hired a few short-term workers to come over to help harvest wheat, and Shen Zaishi and Shen Zhilei, father and son, led people to rush to harvest wheat every morning and return late every day. Wu and his four children collect fruit at home, cook for the family, and prepare a meal to send to the fields at noon.

Shen Mengxi and the others offered a price of two cents a day, and asked the children in the village to help pick the fruits, and then sent them to the Shen family's house. The first to ripen were peaches, and the fourth and fifth mothers of the third room were responsible for peeling those peaches, and then putting them into a jar, adding the sugar water specially prepared by Shen Mengxi, and finally sealing the mouth of the jar with wax, so that a can of canned peaches in sugar water was made. The huts where Shen Mengxi used to live are now used as temporary workshops, and Shen Mengxi also asked Wu to make several sets of masks and headscarves, which must be used to wrap their hair, mouth and nose when they enter the workshop.

The whole family is very busy, but they are full of energy! Physical exertion could not hide their inner longing and expectation for life, and they seemed to have seen the light ahead waiting for them to conquer.
