Chapter 052: Chicken Thief
Rinsing the sickle in his hand with water, Shen Futian stood up, went to the stove room to take a look at the steamer noodles on the stove, and looked almost ready.
After extinguishing the fire on the stove, Shen Futian took chopsticks and bowls to pick up noodles, and called Shen Jingqiu and Shen Wensong to eat.
The steamed noodles, or the steamed noodles with slices of fatty meat, taste very fragrant, and then one or two cloves of garlic, it is really delicious.
Especially Shen Jingqiu and Shen Wensong, who were looking for slices of meat in the pile of noodles on the steamer, and all of them were sandwiched into their bowls.
Shen Futian frowned and drank: "You two eat well, your own meat, are you afraid that it will not be able to run into other people's bowls?" ”
Shen Jingqiu and Shen Wensong stopped at this time, but Shen Wensong didn't forget to take advantage of the situation and put another piece of meat in his mouth, and the sisters and brothers came out of the stove room with a bowl and ate it under the paulownia tree in the yard.
Shen Futian ate half a bowl of steamed noodles and put chopsticks: "Jingqiu, you take Wen Song to watch the house at home, and I will go to see your mother and your grandparents." ”
Shen Jingqiu let out an "oh", and then said: "Dad, don't always listen to your mother's words, it's okay for grandparents to go to the second aunt's house for dinner, we can eat two more pieces of meat." ”
Shen Futian was silent and walked out of the courtyard with his head down.
When I walked all the way to the courtyard of the second room, I just heard Xu's cry.
And Yang's face, his face was pale, and he was pointing at Xu's and kept counting: "Old family, what do you mean, do you want to say that our old couple is partial to the second family?" ”
Xu Shi cried and cried, with a sad face: "This is not partial? Who doesn't know that the second child's family is poor and clanging, this time it is to send iron eggs to school, and to make new clothes for Xiangmiao, and it is meat and eggs, where does the money come from, but it is not the help of my father and mother? ”
Shen Shuntong's face was also as black as the bottom of the pot, and there was anger in his tone: "The second family's family sent iron eggs to school, wore new clothes and ate meat, it was all based on their own ability, when did our old couple give them a penny?" Every month, each of your families gives us fifty big money, and a total of less than two taels of silver at the end of the year, and then each child returns some New Year's money, the money for the doctor with a headache and brain fever, the money for clothes and cloth, and from time to time to buy a candy for the juniors, buy a flower, what else is left? ”
"The grain in the field is put together with you every year, and we don't know how much we have, let alone take it out and sell it for money, you pull your own fingers and calculate, where do we get the money to make up for it?" The more Shen Shuntong talked, the more he felt that the Xu family was simply making trouble.
When Xu heard this, he calculated in his heart.
It's this reason, the Yang family and Shen Shuntong can't save any money in their hands at all, let alone have the money to subsidize the second room's family, so if it seems that the money is earned by the second room itself?
It is said that Shen Xiangmiao sells food in the town, but how much money can she earn from this food?
Xu Shi thought in his heart, after harvesting the wheat, he would go to the town to take a look and see how much money this Shen Xiangmiao earned.
After making up his mind, Xu stopped crying, wiped the tears on his face, and said, "Dad, mother, I'm confused for a while......"
"Are you confused?" Yang snorted coldly: "It's really good that you are confused at this time, and you will indiscriminately button hats on our heads." ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu immediately accepted the softness and grinned: "Mother, it's all daughters-in-law who are not good, and I am tired of harvesting wheat with Futian today, plus the second and third families don't help, I feel a little suffocated in my heart, what I said just now is not right, don't go to your heart." ”
"If you come in from your ears, can you not go to your heart?" The Yang family has always hated the Xu family, but now they were questioned again, and their good mood was gone, and they were even more angry at the moment: "For so many years, I have been following your yard next to each other, and the rice is also eaten together, and the grain is harvested together. But I see that you are not willing to contribute, and if you are not willing to contribute, you and Futian should not collect this wheat, call Fuhai to collect it, and put it in the small yard for us after harvesting. ”
This wheat is divided into open crops, and it will really be cheap in the future.
Xu Shi was anxious when he heard this: "Mother, don't be angry, it's not good to be angry with yourself, it's all bad for your daughter-in-law, don't scold me twice, slap me twice to get angry." ”
As long as he can get the benefits, Xu feels that not to mention two slaps, three slaps are acceptable.
Shen Futian strode over, lowered his head and confessed his mistake to the Yang family and Shen Shuntong: "Dad, mother, don't be angry." ”
After turning his head, he talked about Xu again: "I just shouted that you don't want to come, you want to come, you made my father and mother angry in vain, go home with me quickly, don't mess around here." ”
The Yang family and Shen Shuntong watched their eldest son come over, first made amends, and then went to discipline the Xu family, their attitude was right, although they had a gloomy face, they didn't say anything about Shen Futian in the end.
Lu is a younger brother and sister, and it is difficult to keep silent, so he keeps his head down.
Tie Dan went back to the house to study calligraphy, and the remaining Shen Xiangmiao pulled the corners of her mouth.
Shen Futian looks honest and honest on the surface, but he is just a cowardice who has no idea and is pressed by his daughter-in-law, but today's performance really confirms Shen Xiangmiao's conjecture, he is a master who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger.
What he just said, Shen Futian made it clear that he knew that the Xu family was coming, but he didn't get up to stop it, and it took so long to come, and when he came, he had to drag the Xu family away, so that no matter how angry the Yang family and Shen Shuntong were, it would not be easy to chase them to their house.
And as soon as the couple left at this time, the Yang family and Shen Shuntong turned around and lost their anger, and then mentioned that the grain would not be returned to the big house, which seemed to be a bit of a reckoning after the autumn, and this matter would be over.
's own uncle, he's really a chicken thief.
Shen Xiangmiao sneered and said, "Uncle, have you eaten lunch?" ”
Shen Futian was stunned for a moment, waved his hand and replied: "The steamed noodles are made at home, let's go back and eat, don't eat here, Xiangmiao, don't be busy." ”
Shen Xiangmiao narrowed her eyes: "When the eldest uncle came just now, the apron on her body was not taken off, and her wrists were still stained with ash on the stove. Uncle must have eaten half a bowl of steamed noodles, with garlic in his mouth and oil on his mouth! ”
"Since the uncle knew that the eldest aunt was here, he also said that he wanted to persuade him to stop him, but he still ate half a bowl of steamer noodles at home before he came......" Shen Xiangmiao's eyebrows raised and raised, and her eyes turned back and forth on Shen Futian and Xu, and finally looked at Yang and Shen Shuntong: "Grandparents, it is estimated that Uncle is really tired of harvesting wheat today, and he is also hungry." ”
