Sheng Zhu's movements paused, then raised his head, looking very surprised, "Oh, is it, is it serious?" ”

A complicated light flashed in Shen Yan's clear eyes.

He opened his mouth to ask something, but he felt that he couldn't ask, so he only sighed lightly and said, "Grandmother asked you to go to the old mansion." ”

"Okay, I'll go now." Sheng Zhu's face was not panicked at all, he only smeared some salt on the fish, scooped up a scoop of water and washed his hands, and then turned around and walked outside the stove house.

Shen Yan chased after him, "I'll go with you." ”

The eldest brother is not at home, and as a younger brother, he always has to take care of his sister-in-law for his brother.

Thinking of the difficult situation he was going to face later, Shen Yan's brows furrowed tightly, and he couldn't help but sigh again.

Sheng Zhu turned his head to look at him sideways, and said disgustedly: "Young man, why do you always have a sad face like an old man, can you be a little energetic?" Have you ever heard of a saying, life is like a mirror, you laugh at it and laugh, you cry and it cries with you, so people who love to laugh will not have too bad luck. ”

Shen Yan was stunned.

This is the first time he has heard of this statement, but when he thinks about it, it seems to have some truth.

He subconsciously pulled the corners of his mouth.

Sheng Zhu nodded approvingly: "Hmm... The children can be taught. That's right, you see, how handsome it is! ”

Shen Yan's smile instantly shrank back, and he didn't look at her, but the roots of his ears turned red.

No one had ever boasted about him so blatantly - except for his mother.

Thinking of his mother, his eyes were slightly sour, if he could have been braver, go to his grandmother to kneel and beg, and ask for a little food back, maybe his mother would not have starved to death......

The uncle and sister-in-law walked for less than half an hour to the old house, the old house is in the middle of the village, compared with other families around, the houses are obviously better, the blue brick and black tile houses, the adobe courtyard walls, I don't know how many times larger than the broken yard of the second room.

Before entering the door, Shen Yan still couldn't hold back, and reminded: "Sister-in-law, if your grandmother embarrasses you later, you... Try to bear with it, she is an elder after all, and if it spreads, it will not be good for your reputation. ”

Sheng Zhu was noncommittal.

Ancient reputation is very important, but she has never been a submissive character, I am afraid that Shen Yan will be disappointed.

As soon as I entered the old house, I saw a sturdy middle-aged man pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back in the hall, his face cloudy. A few meters away at the square table, sat a pale young man with a vain eye, who didn't seem to be in a hurry, holding a handful of peanuts in his hand and chewing loudly.

Shen Yan walked over and called, "Uncle." ”

Uncle Shen stopped, glanced at him without yin or yang, and with a humming sound, his eyes fell on Sheng Zhu behind him.

"You're the eldest daughter-in-law?" He asked.

Sheng Zhu bowed without humility or arrogance, "Yes, uncle." ”

The young man at the table, that is, Shen Jinbao, the only son of Uncle Shen and Lai, also looked over, and his slender peach blossom eyes turned several times on Sheng Zhu's body, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"I've seen something ugly, but I've never seen anything so ugly." He raised his eyebrows at Sheng Zhu lightly, "Hey, brother and sister, you said that if Shen Liang came back and saw that his mother-in-law looked so virtuous, would he faint in fright?" Hahaha! ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Yan's face immediately changed, and he suppressed his anger and said, "Cousin, please pay attention to your words!" ”

"What are you doing so excited, am I wrong? She's ugly, and she's not a noble person, so no one is allowed to mention it? Shen Jinbao threw a peanut into his mouth, with obvious sarcasm in his tone, "I said Xiao Er, this ugly monster has only been in the door for a day and you have maintained it, don't you take a fancy to her?" Tsk tsk, the taste is really heavy! ”

Uncle and sister-in-law are doing it with a woman, and it's not good to hear about it.

Shen Yan is a scholar, and his reputation is more important than his life, where can he stand this kind of insult, he was immediately so angry that his face turned pale, and he couldn't wait to cut Shen Jinbao into ten or eight pieces and feed it to the dog.

"You don't have much blood! I, Shen Yan, stand up straight, and never do anything wrong, if you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for not thinking about brotherhood, and ask the patriarch and grandfather to comment on it! ”

The surname Shen is considered a big family in Qingshanao, the patriarch is the same generation as Shen Yan's grandfather, he is over sixty years old, his temper is as hard as his body bones, and he hates people to chew his tongue and tell right and wrong the most.

Shen Jinbao threw the peanuts into the plate on the table and sneered: "Scholars are just cowards, and they can't afford to make a few jokes, so they are boring." ”

Before Shen Yan could argue again, Sheng Zhu stopped him, "Forget the second brother, you can't talk about him." ”

Shen Jinbao was proud in his heart, and was just about to praise this ugly monster for being self-aware, so he heard her continue: "People are used to treating others with themselves, and my cousin himself is such a filthy person, and naturally he can only see dirty things in his eyes, so it is not unusual to be able to make such jokes." ”

She glanced at Shen Jinbao, "Besides, if a vicious dog bites someone, do people still want to bite back?" I didn't have to let myself get my hair dirty. ”

This is a comparison of Shen Jinbao to a beast, and Shen Jinbao's smile suddenly stiffened on his face.

He slammed the table and stood up, his eyes wide with anger: "Stinky woman, who are you scolding?!" ”

Sheng Zhu didn't seem to hear it, he only turned his head to Shen Yan and said, "Look, he can't even understand people's words, no matter how much he tells him, he will play the piano to the cow, and he will waste saliva in vain, so why bother?" ”

Shen Yan also calmed down, and immediately agreed: "Sister-in-law is right, I'm confused." ”

He was secretly refreshed in his heart, over the years, Shen Jinbao had relied on his grandmother's majesty to sneer at their second room, what was difficult to hear, and he had never had the slightest scruples, this was the first time they had the upper hand in their tongues.

Shen Jinbao was willing to give up, rolled up his sleeves and was about to do it, but his father shouted at him.

"That's it! Have you had enough of the noise? Your grandmother is still lying in the house, do you wish that something happened to her old man? ”

After saying this, Uncle Shen looked at Shen Yan and said with a displeased face: "Especially you!" Erlang, you are a scholar, how can you be like those women with long hair and short knowledge, pulling those mouths without oil and salt? Could it be that all the books have been read in the dog's belly? ”

Shen Yan pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Sheng Zhu secretly sneered, Uncle Shen knew that his son picked it first, but he still detained the basin on Shen Yan, which was really "fair".

Sure enough, Xiao San'er is right, there is no good person in this big house.

The room fell silent, and after a while, the curtain in the master bedroom was lifted, and a man in his mid-fifties walked out.

Uncle Shen hurriedly greeted him and asked worriedly, "Doctor Ge, how is my mother?" You okay? ”

Doctor Ge's face was a little tangled, and he pondered for a moment before he said, "This... It's hard to say. If you want to say that you have a bad stomach, the pulse is usually weak and weak, and the patient has more than one abdominal pain. But your mother's condition is completely opposite, after this toss, people look extremely weak, but the pulse is very gentle, as if the stagnation of food in the body has been washed away, and the body is stronger than before. ”

This... Uncle Shen listened a little mysterious, and hurriedly asked: "Listen to what you mean, is it a good thing to have this scene?" ”

Dr. Ge nodded and said with a smile: "Exactly." ”

Uncle Shen glanced at Sheng Zhu hesitantly, and asked again: "What about my mother-in-law, like my mother, she has been having diarrhea since eating a few scallion pancakes in the morning, I don't know what the situation is?" ”

Dr. Ge comforted: "Don't worry, both of them have the same symptoms, and there is no major problem." ”

Since they all said so, Uncle Shen also put his mind at ease, gave the consultation fee, and asked his son to send him out.

In the house, Mrs. Yan's voice came out: "Daughter-in-law, come in." ”

Shen Yan's expression tightened, and he looked at Sheng Zhu worriedly, Sheng Zhu smiled comfortingly, lifted the curtain and walked in.

Yan Pozi was lying on the hollow mahogany bed, and Shen Furong was standing next to the bed, Shen Furong bit her lip, but she still couldn't hide the gloating on her face.

Probably because people are old and afraid of the wind, the wooden window lattices are closed tightly, and an inexplicable smell fills the whole room, Sheng Zhu couldn't help but wrinkle his nose.

"Sheng, kneel!"
