"That's good! We're waiting to eat the delicious food made by the third grandmother! Shen Mengxi shook his little head with a smile, looking greedy.

The third old lady lovingly pinched Shen Mengxi's little face, and sent Wu and Shen Mengxi out of the courtyard with Shen Siniang and Shen Wuniang.

"I see, the kid in the brook is getting smarter and smarter!" The third old lady sent people away, and came back to continue to fight Shen Zailin.

"Not only is he smart, but he is also very caring and sensible!" Shen Zailin told him about Shen Zaishi apologizing to Shen Mengxi and Shen Mengxu in front of him that day.

"The children of the uncle's family are all with the Shen family, kind and kind! Fortunately, the uncle did not hand over the children to the sister-in-law to raise at the beginning. ”

"Humph! Then people must be willing to take care of their own children! ”

Cui's greedy for pleasure, when he was young, he was reluctant to work, he didn't want to take care of his children, and only hid in his room to embroider to earn private money. This made the people in the family very dissatisfied, in fact, this was one of the reasons why the second and third rooms were reluctant to support Shen Zaishi to study.

The third old lady thought of the Cui family who was driven back to her parents' house, and her heart was also full of disdain and contempt for the things that the Cui family had done, but she was a younger brother-in-law, and Shen Zailin could make accusations, so she didn't have much to say. No matter how you say it, it is also Shen Zhixin and Shen Zhilei's mother-in-law, it's not good for someone's daughter to help you find a money-making job, here you are scolding other people's mothers behind your back!

The days passed, and during this time, the third room of the Shen family was busy making bookcases, and the big room and the second room were still under the insistence of Shen Zaishi and Shen Zaiquan, and each gave Shen Zailin ten taels of silver to buy the wood needed for the principal. The big house family didn't say anything, and they all agreed with such a decision. It's just that the second room is a little difficult, the second old lady made a fuss, and almost broke up with Shen Zaiquan, but in the end it was Shen Sanlang who persuaded her. Later, when Shen Zailin heard the news, he took the time to make a special trip to the second room, and declared in front of the whole family that the silver was the shares of their two rooms, and when they made money in the future, they could wait for the dividends to be shared. At this time, the second old lady didn't continue to make trouble, and generously took out ten taels of silver to Shen Zailin.

The second old lady was so embarrassed that Shen Zaiquan was very faceless, and it also made him feel that he couldn't raise his head in front of his brothers, and he was so angry that he didn't want to deal with the second old lady for a long time.

In the past two days, Shen Mengxi and Wu took the time to make thirteen incense again, and the thirteen incense without those spices was indeed a lot worse in taste. But that's it, after eating the dish made with thirteen spices, the whole family was full of praise for the powder made by Shen Mengxi, and since then they have fallen in love with the taste of thirteen spices, and they have to sprinkle some of the dishes into it. Shen Mengxi didn't dare to mix the spices in the space into the finished thirteen spices, the taste was too bad, and if he really put those spices in, it would definitely arouse suspicion!

On this day, when it was the day that Shen Zhixin agreed to go home, Shen Zaishi ordered Shen Zhilei to go to the town to hunt meat early in the morning, and when Shen Zhixin came back, he could make some meat sauce for him to take to the exam. Wu and Shen Mengxi were preparing bread at home.

"Auntie, these cakes are enough!"

Wu shook his head and said, "Make more, your father won't have enough to eat at that time, and it's not good to take the exam hungry!" ”

Looking at the dozen or so pieces of dough that had been drained on the grate after the oil had been drained, Shen Mengxi frowned. Shen Zhixin had to stay in the examination room for three days before he could come out, let alone three days of more than a dozen pieces of bread, even five or six days were enough for him alone.

Wu saw what Shen Mengxi was thinking and smiled: "Xiaoxi, don't forget those classmates who went to the exam with your father!" ”
