Chapter 141: I still want to eat braised pork

"Auntie, this braised pork you made is so delicious! Can we eat it again? Shen Mengxu's little bun bit her little finger, chirping and reminiscing about the unforgettable taste.

Wu touched Shen Mengxu's little head lovingly and said, "In the future, my aunt will often do it for you!" ”

When Cui was there, she was not very strict with her housekeeping, but she was very limited in the amount of money. Shen Zaishi and Shen Zhixin both have one or two silver dollars every month, and Shen Zhixin's expenses for studying in the county are just enough for these two silvers. Shen Zaishi teaches in a private school for two taels of silver a month, and the grain produced in the family's more than ten acres of fields is enough for the family to chew for a year, and a small part can be sold every year for some silver. There are more than a dozen chickens in their backyard, and the eggs laid every day are not only for the family to eat, but also to save a few for gifts. Shen Zaishi's three taels of silver are more than enough for the family's trivial expenses on weekdays? The three brothers of Shen Mengzhu are free to study in the private school, and the four treasures of the study sent by Fu Duo every year are enough for them to use for a whole year, and the Shen family does not need to spend extra money to buy these things for them.

Such a standard of living is already very abundant in the countryside! But in order to deduct the silver, Cui's used to pull private houses into his purse, so that he could save money. It is rare to eat meat once a month, and even half of the eggs produced by her own have been exchanged for silver money. In order to look good, the whole family will make two new clothes every year, but except for Shen Mengxi, who will let her not be treated by the Cui family! In a place where Shen Zaishi couldn't see, Cui's idea was to try to get the money, but this time because she was in a hurry, she didn't take away the private room she hid. Later, Shen Zaishi found more than 100 taels of silver in their room, all of which were the private rooms she had saved over the years.

When Shen Zaishi sent the Cui family back to Cui's house, he gave them a hundred taels of silver, and he had the idea of never interacting again. However, the Cui family refused to accept the letter of resignation, and Shen Zaishi could only explain that the one hundred taels were used to support the Cui family, and the Shen family would no longer be responsible for all the expenses of the Cui family in the future.

There are still nearly eighty taels of silver left, and Shen Zaishi handed them over to the Wu family for safekeeping, so that she can be responsible for the food and drink of the whole family in the future.

Wu has been doing business with her brother and sister-in-law since she was a child, and she is very shrewd in her calculations, in her opinion, as long as there are no special big expenses, just a few people in their family can't even spend a tael of silver every month. This is still on the premise that you can eat a meal of meat every three or five days.

In the past, Cui's family deducted his family like that, no wonder he was able to save so much silver!

Now Shen Mengxu's small wish is not worth anything in the eyes of the Wu family, but in the hearts of Shen Mengxu and their four siblings, it is the greatest happiness!

"Auntie, you're so nice! I like my aunt the most! Shen Mengxu threw herself into Wu's arms and smiled and sprinkled Jiao!

Shen Menghan shaved his face and said with a smile: "Shame, shame, shame!" It's so big and coquettish, like a little lady! ”

"I'm not a little lady! I'm a man! Shen Mengxu glared at Shen Menghan dissatisfied, pouting and feeling aggrieved.

When Wu saw it, he immediately coaxed him: "Okay, good!" Our Mengxu is a little man, a little man! ”

"It's not the little masters, it's the masters! Just like Daddy and Uncle! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Like your uncle, they're old men! ”

Shen Mengxu snorted and raised his little chin and looked at Shen Menghan triumphantly.

The whole family was amused by Shen Meng's lifelike sample, and in the quiet night, bursts of happy laughter wafted over the peaceful farmhouse courtyard.
