Shen Yan hadn't been home for a long time.

Originally, he had a ten-day break, but because he was about to take the county exam, the master had high expectations for him, so he deliberately kept him and a few other students to open a small stove for them.

is in the academy, but Shen Yan's heart has always been worried about his family, especially his sister-in-law and little sister.

The sister-in-law has a strong temperament, and she offended her grandmother on the second day she entered the door, and I am afraid that her life is extremely difficult today; Not to mention the little sister, she can't stand the fright and can't bear to be scared, she can't breathe after walking a few more steps, and she doesn't know if she has taken medicine on time.

Also, counting the time, the eldest brother should have come back long ago from his forced service, will he hate her when he sees his sister-in-law's appearance......

The teenager his heartbreak.

When he finally got home and entered the door, the first thing he did was to see Sheng Zhu.

Seeing this, Shen Yan was shocked.

How so? What about the fat of the sister-in-law? Could it be that it was tempered by my grandmother?

He was ashamed and guilty: "Sister-in-law, you ......"

How did Sheng Zhu know that Shen Yan was thinking about this, seeing that the young man had lost a lot of weight, and his expression was still a little haggard, he hurriedly called him to sit down at the table, and said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later." Today is a good day, and it is also a day for our family to be reunited. Come, eat first, it won't taste good if it's cold. ”

As he spoke, he put a piece of meat into Shen Yan's bowl with chopsticks, and asked with concern, "How are you doing in the academy?" Is it hard to study? Did you eat seriously? Is it good to have a good relationship with your classmates? ”

Shen Yan sat upright and bowed to her: "Sister-in-law, I am fine." It's that the county test is coming, and the master is relatively strict, and he usually doesn't let him out of the academy. ”

Sheng Zhu nodded, sympathetic.

She is also a person who came from the college entrance examination, so of course she can understand the nervous and hair-lossy atmosphere before the exam.

Moreover, the admission rate of the ancient imperial examination was outrageously low, and tens of millions of people crowded the single-plank bridge, so it is no wonder that Shen Yan and them are like a great enemy.

"Reading is important, but the body is even more important, and you still have to rest when it's time to rest. I've heard that the exam room is stuffy, and I have to stay in it for days, and I can't stand it without a good body. ”

"Knowing my sister-in-law, I'll pay attention."

Shen Li's eyes swept slightly over the uncle and sister-in-law, coughed lightly, and opened his mouth casually: "It's a good thing for a big man to suffer a little, and only when he suffers hardship can he become a master." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Besides, the second brother is so old, he should know how to take care of himself, lady, you don't have to worry too much about him." ”

Sheng Zhu glanced at him with disgust: "Where is it very big, he is only sixteen years old, and he is still a child!" ”

In his previous life, he was only in his first year of high school, but was he a big boy?

If it weren't for the good literacy, Shen Yan almost squirted out a mouthful of rice: "......"

He was a little embarrassed, but also a little heartwarming.

It seems that many years ago, my mother said something similar.

At that time, he ran out to play because he didn't keep a good book, and his father was very angry and punished him for not being allowed to eat. The mother saved her own rations and secretly stuffed it to him, but his father found out, and his father was very angry, saying that his mother was a failure, and that he was seven years old and was so ignorant, how could he become a big weapon in the future.

My mother refuted my father's words at the time, and he remembered it all his life.

The mother said, "What's wrong with being seven years old?" Even at the age of seventy, in my eyes, he will always be a child. ”

People say that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, probably so.

As soon as he thought about this, he heard the eldest brother of his family, who had always been calm and serious, say: "I often hear that when I am a father at the age of sixteen, a sixteen-year-old child... It's rare. ”

Shen Yan was so embarrassed that his head almost fell to the ground.

Sheng Zhu turned his head and glared at Shen Li, this person didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong tonight, so he raised the bar with her.

Talking is also yin and yang.

Shen Xi looked at this, then at that, and finally settled on Shen Yan: "Second brother, I can't do some homework, can you teach me after eating?" ”

Shen Yan was slightly stunned: "Homework? ”

Shen Zheng came to his senses, swallowed the food in his mouth in a big gulp, and then puffed up his chest proudly: "Second brother doesn't know yet, right?" The little sister entered the village school and was already enlightened. And the little sister is very talented in reading, only half a month, she has finished learning the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text", which is no worse than the second brother, you at the beginning! ”

That time, he went to the village to wander around, and when he passed by the school, he happened to see Shen Xi being picked up by the master to endorse the book, and the master praised her, saying that she was smart and diligent, and she was a good seedling for reading.

It's just that the moment he turned around, the master sighed inexplicably, and he didn't know why.

Hearing his words, Shen Yan was taken aback: "But the little sister is ......."

Halfway through speaking, he suddenly realized something, quickly bit his lower lip, swallowed the rest of the words, and then hurriedly looked at Shen Xi's face.

I thought I would see a sad little face, but in fact, it didn't.

"Second brother, I'm fine." Shen Xi smiled brightly, and even stood up and turned around, "Look, nothing has happened at all, since I went to the school, I haven't been sick once!" ”

The cute and cute little appearance, like the moon falling on the galaxy, faded away the hidden worries in Shen Yan's heart.

He smiled and reached out to touch the top of Shen Xi's hair: "The little sister is really powerful, much more powerful than the second brother." ”

This touch was stunned again.

Little sister she... It seems that he has grown taller, and his current size is not much different from that of other eight-year-old children, and he is no longer five or six years old before.

Shen Yan subconsciously looked at Sheng Zhu.

The little sister has been sick for many years, and no matter how hard the three brothers tried, they could not make her really smile, and her body was not as good as day by day. Now, it has only been less than two months since the sister-in-law entered the door, and the little sister seems to have been reborn, not only has her body improved, but she can also smile.

Sister-in-law is so powerful.

Seeing his burning eyes, Sheng Zhu laughed: "See what I do?" Hurry up and eat. Is it that my craftsmanship has regressed, and it is not as fragrant as the food in the college? ”

Shen Yanjun's face flushed.

"How? The dishes made by my sister-in-law are the best in the world except for my mother. ”

"Eat more if it's delicious. I remember you liked to eat steamed fish with scallion oil... Oh, do you see the piece of meat next to the fish gills? This is called 'crescent meat', and it is the most tender part of the fish. You spend your brain on reading, just to make up for it. ”

Afraid that Shen Yan would be embarrassed, Sheng Zhu picked up the chopsticks and was about to help him clip them, but he saw another pair of chopsticks stretched out and mercilessly took away the entire fish head.

Sheng Zhu: "...... Shen Li! ”

Shen Liang took a bite, and then raised his eyes to look at her, with an innocent face: "What's the matter, lady?" ”

Sheng Zhu was so angry that he wanted to smash his chopsticks: "You did it on purpose." ”

People in their twenties still grab food with children, are they naïve?

Shen Liang looked suddenly enlightened: "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to what you guys said just now. Why don't I give it back to my second brother now? ”

Shen Yan hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, the eldest brother is the hardest in the family, and the eldest brother eats." ”

Although the eldest brother cares for several younger siblings, there is still a big difference between a younger brother and a younger sister. For the little sister, it is as warm as spring, I am afraid that I will fall and be afraid of pain, so I will give what I want; For him and his third brother... Hey, as long as they don't die of hunger, the rest can't wait for them to taste the eight hardships of life.

Therefore, for this brother, Shen Yan is close and respectful, where dare he pull something from his bowl.

Shen Liang snorted, and actually ate the fish by himself.

Sheng Zhu's little hand sneaked under the table and pinched him, but when he saw that the man's face did not change, he turned his head and smiled at her.

He was good-looking, with a handsome eyebrow, and liked to wear black, and this smile was like a star in the night sky, which instantly lit up the whole room.

Sheng Zhu was almost dazzled, and his hand unconsciously let go.

Wicked, hum.

At this time, Shen Zheng didn't know where to turn out a pot of wine and a few wine glasses, and happily put them on the table, saying, "This is the last time Brother Guo left behind the daughter drunk, and there is still more than half a pot left." Let's drink while we're happy today, right? ”

He wanted to drink it for a long time, but his family was strapped for money, so he had to save money to buy medicine for his younger sister, and he had to tie his second brother, so he didn't dare to spend a lot of money.

Now that the family has earned so much money by selling gastrodia, it should be okay to be a little extravagant, right?

Shen Yan shook his head: "The master said, drunk and misleading, especially before the county test, must not be drunk." ”

So, what's the point of drinking alone... Shen Zheng had no choice but to set his sights on Shen Liang and Sheng Zhu.

Sheng Zhu was about to refuse, but he heard Shen Liang say: "Your sister-in-law can't drink either, she is weak." ”

Hearing this, Sheng Zhu's strength suddenly came up.

You say you can't drink it, don't you drink it? I just said that the fish was for Shen Yan to eat, and I didn't see you hear it.

She took a wine glass and put it in front of her, and motioned to Shen Zheng: "Have a drink, I'm happy today, it's okay to have a drink." ”

Shen Zheng peeked at his eldest brother, and when he saw that Shen Liang didn't object anymore, he sighed and filled Sheng Zhu. Sheng Zhu was not pretentious, and he was bored when he picked it up.

"Hey, sister-in-law, don't ......"

It's a pity that it was too late, Sheng Zhu covered his mouth and coughed violently, his face was red.

Spicy, too spicy!

What's the smell? Didn't you hear that the ancient brewing technology was poor, and there were several jars of drinking at every turn, and the degree was about the same as beer?

Shen Liang sighed, put down the chopsticks and patted her on the back: "Look at you, and no one is robbing you, what are you doing drinking so fast?" ”

Sheng Zhu pushed the wine glass and quickly ate a few bites of food and pressed it.

After the meal, she originally planned to wash the dishes, but Shen Zheng robbed her of the work, Shen Xi pestered her second brother to ask about homework, and Bai Mei caught mosquitoes in the corner, as for Shen Li...... She didn't want to deal with him.

In ancient times, there was no entertainment, and at night, it was difficult for women to go out, so Sheng Zhu had to resign himself to walking a few times in the yard to eliminate food, and then went to wash and sleep.

Shen Liang knew that his lady was angry with him, and he also knew why she was angry, so he didn't come to coax, but punched in the yard for half an hour, sweated, and then took a shower with well water, and followed into the room.

Angry is angry, in the end, he still left a lamp.

Shen Liang looked at the person in the bed, Sheng Zhu was lying with his back to him, as if he had fallen asleep.

Just as he was about to blow out the lamp and rest, he suddenly remembered the blue cloth bag that the Qin Imperial Doctor gave him during the day, saying that he wanted him to watch it with his wife. So he took it out of the cupboard and opened it.

It is two yellow books.

"The Legend of the Flying Dragon General" and "The Hollow Valley Orchid".

Shen Liang smiled. Uncle Qin really treated him very well, knowing that he admired those heroes and heroes, he specially lent him this book.

As for the other one, I probably hope that the lady can have an elegant temperament like an orchid.

He put the book of "Hollow Valley Orchid" back in the closet, walked back to the bed with "The Legend of the Flying Dragon General", reclined down, and opened the book by the flickering oil lamp.
