Chapter 70 The Old Past That Can't Be Said
"Okay, you're all about to be grandfathers, why are you still like children. Come and say New Year's greetings to your uncle! Liu's sister-in-law carried the New Year's gift into the kitchen, and discussed with her daughter-in-law what to use as a return gift, this is the heaviest New Year's gift her family received this year, after all, the old man is the head of a village, and the village people give more New Year's gifts, and they are busy with this matter before the New Year.
Shen Zhong didn't talk much, and after a while, he came back with a return gift from the village chief's family, which was ten eggs and a pack of snacks. Xiao Wang carefully put it away, this is the first time she has received a New Year's gift!
Shen Zhong finished the New Year's gift in one morning, and he didn't know how meaningful this New Year's gift was.
Shen Shouxiao's house, sent Shen Zhong away, and the family sat down to gossip.
"This Shen Zhong is generous, that is, your brother has not given four things over the years, and it is two catties of cornmeal and two catties of brown sugar every year." Liu's mother-in-law is either complaining, or sighing.
"Shen Zhong's kid is a heart, I heard that the family will be allocated an acre of dry land, or he opened up the wasteland himself last spring." Shen Shouxiao also doesn't look down on Mrs. Jia's partiality, but if his younger brother doesn't support it, it is impossible for him to have not changed a little over the years, and it has become more and more serious, and his brother who has divided the family can't take care of the affairs of his younger brother's family!
"What do you think Shen Shouli thinks, Shen Zhong is not his son or what? How do you think about the second room family after separating the family in this way, I have the old son who was admitted to the Jinshi in my heart, and I don't look down on Shen Zhi's child, and my heart is not right. Liu's mother-in-law pouted, and Jia's thought that she was pressing herself because of her old son's talent, and she was already dissatisfied, and she was a little jealous.
"Keep your mouth shut, I heard that the kid has already found an official in the city, and it won't be our family who will be offended in the future." Shen Shouxiao actually agreed with his mother-in-law's words in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.
The people in the village don't know about Shen Zhi, as an uncle who has seen the big since he was a child, he still understands that Shen Zhi is narrow-minded and will repay his teeth, but he is not a pillar of talent. But he would not say it, first, because he offended people, and second, the people in the village would think that he was jealous of his brother's son's appearance, so they maliciously slandered. He would definitely not do such a thing that harms others and is not beneficial to himself.
"Humph! Mrs. Jia's tail will have to go up to the sky in the future. Wait! There won't be a good end, when I think of that incident, I still tremble in my heart now, how old was Shen Zhi at that time? That's a human life! ”
"Shut up." When Shen Shouxiao heard this, he immediately scolded loudly, not many people knew about that incident, because the old lady was still alive at that time and had not yet split up, and the two of them just happened to know. But they swore in front of the old lady and Shen Shouli that they would never tell that thing for the rest of their lives.
"I can't mention it before, and I can't mention it again in the future, otherwise our family will be implicated." Shen Shouxiao solemnly reminded his wife again.
"I see." Mrs. Liu didn't dare to say any more, she was not a confused Jia, so she naturally had a sense of proportion. Besides, it's been more than ten years since that incident, and there's no point in turning it out.
The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day to return to the door, and Xiao Wang's family can go back to her parents' house today in previous years, and Mrs. Jia sent her away with two catties of cornmeal.
Xiao Xia only found out about her grandmother and two uncles and aunts today, because no one has said anything about it in the past year, and she has not been in contact, so she was a little caught off guard. I don't know what kind of heart the people in my grandmother's family are, but don't be a group of superbs anymore, otherwise she will really be a little unbearable.
"Your grandfather is very good and healthy. The eldest uncle and the second uncle are not separated, but the family is very tight, so there is less contact. Xiao Wang wiped his tears while packing up his things, his mother's house was far away, and it would take him half a day to leave, and he would not be able to come back until tomorrow night at the earliest.
Because they had to walk on foot, Xiao Chun and Xiao Xia stayed at home, Xiao Wang carried Xiao Qiu on his back, and Shen Zhong carried a big bamboo basket. There are five catties of white flour, five catties of white rice, two catties of pork, a bag of brown sugar, and a piece of cloth. Before leaving, Xiao Xia also took out a hare and pheasant and stuffed it in, since it is a relative, of course you can't be stingy.
The two sisters are home alone for the first time, and Xiao Xia definitely can't cook, so she can only rely on Xiao Chun. Koharu is really ingenious, and cooking is not a problem. The two cooked white rice, potato stew, and the aroma filled the room, and the saliva of both was left.
"If my mother knew...... When we cook white rice, we will definitely say ...... We're losers. Koharu's mouth was full, and the rice in his mouth almost fell out as soon as he spoke. It was her first time that it was pure white rice, and it was so delicious. Paired with stewed meat, it's simply delicious.
"It's okay, there is still a lot of white rice at home, and I won't let my mother know. After our family built a new house, we ate white rice every day. Xiao Xia sighed contentedly, she hadn't eaten white rice for a long time, and she almost forgot what it tasted like.
"When will we be able to build a new house?" Koharu is looking forward to it!
"I'm sure I'll be able to get you in a new house this year."
Early in the morning of the third year of junior high school, the courtyard of the Shen family was noisy and very lively, Xiao Xia covered himself in the quilt and didn't want to get up, and no one got up early to light the fire dragon in the house when his father was not at home, and the house was a little cold.
Koharu is a competent sister and has already gotten up to cook dumplings for her second sister. Smelling the aroma of dumplings, the yard was so noisy that people couldn't sleep, and Xiao Xia could only get up.
"Sister, what's the trouble in the room in the morning? I will cry and scold, but I am really spiritual. ”
Xiao Xia was wrapped in a quilt and squatted on the kang in the outhouse eating hot dumplings. I heard that the drama outside was getting more and more intense.
"I don't know, but it seems that the third aunt's maiden family is here."
Xiao Xia couldn't help her curiosity when she was full, and she wrapped herself tightly and went out to watch the excitement.
Rhubarb screamed in the yard, suggesting that there must be a stranger at Xiao Xia's house. I saw that the door of the third room was open, and the courtyard was full of clothes and quilts that had been thrown out, and it was everywhere and messy.
Zhao was sitting on the ground crying, the cry was definitely more miserable than the dead father, the old man of the Shen family, Mrs. Jia and Shen Zhi, were standing in the courtyard, and the two of them were standing at the door of their own room to watch the excitement.
There is also a strange mother-in-law in the courtyard, who is a little similar to Zhao's appearance, with an angry face on her face, and she knows that she must be a mean old lady at a glance. A big gold bracelet that looks good in a dress and a bright one on her wrist should be Zhao's wife. There are also two strange men, Xiao Xia should be Zhao's father and brother.
"Zhao, hurry up and go back with your mother, our Shen family has already divorced you, don't leave without skin and face." Old Mrs. Jia pinched her waist, her triangular eyes were raised, and she kicked open the clothes that fell at her feet, and Xiao Xia recognized that the clothes were definitely worn by the Zhao family before.
Xiao Xia was surprised in her heart, Shen Zhicai was admitted to the Jinshi and planned to divorce his wife? He is not afraid of others scolding him for being Chen Shimei, who abandoned his wife of chaff. That's right! There should be no character of Chen Shimei in this time and space.
