Chapter Ninety-Nine, the proposal was rejected
Full of wine and food, the brothers and concubines of the family all said goodbye first, Yan Renda drank high and did not forget to lead the sheep away, Shen whispered to Ziqing to go to the back mountain to pick two dairy sheep, and Zhang Luo tea to entertain the guests, and when only the Shen family was left to help clean up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks, Shen asked the cause of the He family.
He Shi elaborated on the experience, and said to Shen: "Don't mention this matter again, the son-in-law was also embarrassed at that time, everyone in the yard watched, and his own mother forced him, isn't it just two sheep?" Now you do not lack this little thing, and you will do it as a good deed. Don't mess with your son-in-law. ”
Shen Shi sneered when he heard this: "I said, why did you kindly make a new dress for Ziyu today?" For the first time, I dared to calculate it here, I didn't want to give up this little thing, I annoyed them to be lazy and lazy, and their minds were used to calculate others, forget it, one or two are like this, don't talk about this. ”
Shen Jianshan walked over and scolded: "Asking for something in front of people in a big yard, this is also called a man?" There is no spine at all. It's not that the poor don't have anything to eat, it's all something, and they can't be looked at. ”
Shen was afraid that her husband would be embarrassed to hear this, so she interrupted Shen Jianshan's words and asked about the crop harvest. This year's hail everyone's losses are not small, fortunately the late rice is currently growing well, if nothing else, it should be able to harvest, the potatoes were harvested two days ago, taking advantage of the early rice yield reduction was sold for three pennies a catty, although it is not as good as the first two years, but the income is considerable, in May, it has been reduced to two pennies a catty, and now there are a large number of people in the nearby villages who began to plant potatoes, planting watermelons, the price reduction is expected by Ziqing, fortunately Ziqing has other points to it.
Shen's family left after dinner, and they took some cooked chicken and salted goose eggs to take away, but He still stayed.
Before going to bed, Zeng Ruixiang had the opportunity to explain to his wife about the two sheep, Shen sighed and said: "It's not a day or two, I still don't know their temperament for more than ten years, to be angry, it's not that there are more things than this before, am I angry?" Never mind. Because the two sheep are going to be awkward, it's not worth it. Don't go to your heart, our sheep are still giving birth. There will be more and more. ”
Shen's words moved Zeng Ruixiang very much, and originally planned to put down his body to coax his wife to be happy, but he didn't expect to have such an unexpected joy, so he picked up his wife and put it on the bed, Shen was startled. Just about to open his mouth to say something, his mouth was blocked, and Zeng Ruixiang didn't forget to blow out the lamp and put the curtain in his busy schedule.
The next morning. Zhou suddenly came to visit and explained that yesterday was not a matter of wanting things. It's just that he can't get used to Yan Renda's style, and wants to embarrass him and let him retreat in the face of difficulties, but who knows that he is cheeky.
Shen smiled faintly when he heard this, and said that it was okay. The child does drink some goat's milk, he should have taken the initiative to send it over, but he was negligent and so on, who wouldn't say kind words?
Zhou listened a little sneeringly, and then talked about Ziping's family affairs. He said, "Your eldest brother went to inquire and said that there are so many people in their family crammed into one house. Even if the children are separated, they have to rent another house, unless their family can afford to buy a house or build a house for their children, otherwise, the future will definitely be tight, it is better to have no children, and even children cannot afford to raise children. Or, you can ask again, can their family buy a house or build a house? ”
Shen didn't want to care about this matter anymore, so he said: "To be honest, I see that you haven't sent news for more than a month, and I replied a few days ago and refused, so let's do it, you and she also know each other, if you ask her in person and inquire in detail, what is wrong with the word in the middle of the province." ”
Seeing that Shen said this, Zhou didn't want to force it, and then said: "Brother and sister are going to inquire about other good people, don't forget to tell me, the child is not young, and he will be fifteen in the next year, and the general bus of the father and mother hopes that the child can live a better life, can we take out a few taels of silver to give her a dowry?" Don't point at the man? I understand a little now, being a mother really has a heart that can't be. ”
Shen had no choice but to respond when he heard this, and made up his mind that he didn't care about this nonsense, so he rushed to Zeng Ruiqing and Zhou's temperament, whether it was good or not, he had to complain in the future, why bother to find himself unhappy, not to mention that he was still holding his breath in his heart, why did they think they should revolve around them.
After sending Zhou away, after a while, Xia Yu came to the door again, and explained with self-reproach: "Second sister-in-law, it's all my fault, if it weren't for my poor health, you wouldn't have given me a sheep, and you wouldn't have been knocked on a bar by sister-in-law and eldest sister." ”
Shen Shi heard this and hurriedly said: "Sister, don't think so, how can such a big thing be kept here without being known?" In fact, I blame me, I knew that drinking goat's milk was beneficial, and I should have sent it to them a long time ago, wasn't it all for the sake of the children? How are you feeling right now? How long have you been taking the medicine? Do you have enough money at home? ”
"It's enough, now I feel that my whole body is not as soft as before, I can walk a few more steps, I've been taking medicine for a month, I'm going to go home in the next two days, this time I've been out for two months, and I don't know what happened at home?"
"And who sent you back? Or is your brother-in-law coming to pick you up? After going back, don't be too tired of family things, the goat's milk can still eat for about half a year, or I'll give you another ram to match, if you can give birth to lambs after you go back, you will keep it and raise it slowly, if you want to open some, the mentality is relaxed, and the disease is easy to raise. After speaking, Shen went into the house to find some dried fruits such as longan and jujubes and wrapped two packets, and then estimated that he pulled a few feet of flower cloth and green cloth, took a basket and handed it to Xia Yu.
Xia Yu kept waving her hand when she saw it, and said, "Second sister-in-law, you have given enough, I really don't want it." Sister, they haven't left yet, I'm going to carry my things over, won't I still cause you trouble? ”
Shen Shi listened and asked, "Then when do you plan to leave, I will send it to you, and I will send the ram to you that day." ”
Xia Yu was about to refuse, but He came out with Ziyu in his arms and said, "Good boy, listen to your second sister-in-law, take it." When your second sister-in-law had a difficult life in the past, my sons were not the same, they were all my own brothers and sisters-in-law, so you shouldn't be too foreign. Xia Yu listened before responding, and said to come back before leaving. As he was talking, Ziqing came back from the back mountain.
Ziqing saw her mother and second aunt pulling, so she smiled and said, "Second aunt, I'll give you another good thing, I'll give you a few fruit saplings?" Do you want a peach tree or an orange tree? And orange trees? ”
Xia Yu happily said that she liked the peach tree, and said that she would come over to get it when she left. Shen said that the peach tree is not good and cannot be planted in the courtyard. Ziqing asked strangely, "Isn't that the school planted?" ”
"Isn't there no one living there? If you want to live in people, you can plant apricot trees, orange trees, and orange trees. Xia Yu listened, and finally asked for a few orange trees. (To be continued)
