Chapter 90: Death from Hunger
Shen Tiantian thought, the top priority now is to make money.
When you have money, you can be free.
At least financial freedom.
Shen Tiantian now has more than fifty yuan in his hand, so much money, if he wants to provide for a family of four, oh no, with Shen Dong's words, it is a family of five to eat, it is a joke.
Yesterday was a small fortune, but today I am afraid it is not so easy.
There are more than 20 members of the Shen family, and people come and go every day, and Mrs. Shen sits at home like a mountain carving all day long, and it is difficult to get some grass.
Shen Tiantian originally wanted to go out and see if there was any way to make money.
But when I went out for three minutes and looked at the hot sun, I felt that I could still endure it for another ten days and half a month, and then I would talk about it when the weather was not so hot.
Shen Sanniu strongly asked her to rest at home, and Shen Tiantian was more obedient to cook at home.
On such a hot day, cooking is also hot to death, but fortunately, the Shen family generally only cooks one pot.
As long as you heat a pot of boiling water, all kinds of dishes are blanched in water, cold or something, or steamed directly.
There are also all kinds of corn, melons and vegetables, and then rice and water are delivered twice a day.
I have to say that the benefits of adding qi and blood are now revealed.
Shen Tiantian's strength is very great, I don't know if it was born by the original owner, or because of the addition of qi and blood, anyway, one shoulder is carrying a big bucket, and the other is a huge bamboo basket, both sides are extremely heavy, and the weight is uneven, and you need to adjust it yourself, this kind of burden is very difficult to pick. 、
But Shen Tiantian flickered around the flat shoulder, picking it very easily, every time she delivered food and water, she did it in one step, and her face did not change color and her heart did not beat.
I don't know how many people greeted her along the way, saying that she was beautiful and capable, and she had great strength.
To tell the truth, looking at Shen Tiantian's strength, everyone wondered why the old Shen family didn't let her work in the fields, she always felt that she was a full-time laborer, the kind that took ten centimeters.
"Whoever marries your family Tiantian is really a blessing for a few lifetimes, and he can do it very well by looking at it, if he gets married, not everyone in the family can afford to support the guy."
Shen Sanniu is not interested in this kind of praise.
Shen Tiantian cooks and delivers food, although he is reluctant, but there is no way, this girl who is going to get married, it is lazy to say to others, it is not very good, and it is not good to say that the body is not healthy, so it is better to pick up some light work and do it.
When I robbed the double, I didn't do any work at home, and no one had such a girl.
can let her work in the field at home in the future, so why do you want to marry a man.
He snorted coldly and went to greet his daughter, wanting to change the burden.
Shen Tiantian said: "Dad, you're tired all morning, don't pick it, I'll pick it." ”
Shen Sanniu thought to himself, I have to let Feng Meijuan teach her when I go back, this girl is too sincere, and she will not be tired to death in the future.
How can this man get used to it, like a stupid girl, what man must not be spoiled.
Shen Sanniu sweetly blamed his daughter, and hurriedly filled himself a bowl of water to drink.
There was sugar at the bottom of the first bowl, and the hot water melted as soon as it was flushed, and his daughter specially gave him a drink, this sweet little secret between father and daughter, he would not tell others.
One by one nested in the shade under the tree to eat, and someone came over with a bowl to chat, "After the double robbery, I heard that the educated youth are coming, will there be a few female educated youth, isn't your Shen Dong unable to marry a daughter-in-law?" How good is it to find a female intellectual? ”
Shen Dong didn't speak, bowed his head and ate.
One person, two bowls of confusion, doing such heavy work, really not hungry, but his eyes lit up.
He is twenty-four years old, and he will be twenty-five in the New Year, and the people in the village who are as old as him and are not married are all second-rate, how can a serious man be so old and not married?
Feng Meijuan said: "Then you help my Dongzi look at each other, how can there be a good girl, and marry a daughter-in-law to Dongzi this autumn." ”
Mrs. Shen scolded her: "Hot rice can't burn your mouth." ”
Shen Dong's eyes dimmed.
Shen Tiantian looked at the little girls around her, and she didn't know what Shen Dong liked, but her brother was tall and strong, and he was also good-looking, as long as the family intended to pay for it, she should be able to say that she was not a bad daughter-in-law.
It's only twenty-four, and in modern times, it's still young, but now it's all old saints, it's really an unreasonable era.
After a few days, it rained, and although the double robbery hadn't passed yet, the rain really didn't do anything.
Mrs. Shen and the old man took a few people from the big house to the town to see Shen Daniu.
It's been a few days, and they haven't gone home yet, and the old couple is also anxious, not to mention that they have to spend money every day in the town, and they don't know if Shen Daniu's ears are good.
Because the grandmother was in an unhappy mood and deliberately did not leave food, the old man asked, and the old lady was not happy: "If you don't eat for a day, you can starve to death." ”
So today, the family has nothing to eat, and the pigweed in the kitchen is for the pigs to eat, and the status of the Shen family is like this.
Shen old couple, Shen family's big house, pigs, Shen family's third room, Shen family's second room.
So under the premise that the old couple Shen and the Shen family's big house are not at home, the others don't want to compete with the pigs for food, wash and sleep.
Shen Sanniu felt sorry for his daughter, so he stole three big sweet potatoes dug in the afternoon and handed them to his daughter: "Go back to the room and eat again, don't let anyone see it." ”
"I made some salad of dandelions today, you can taste them." Shen Tiantian went back to her room and ran around.
"Why is my daughter so capable, this tastes so delicious." Feng Meijuan smiled and said, "You go and send some to your eldest brother and second brother, they don't have anything to eat." ”
"I've done a lot today, I'm going to be full, you eat, I'll go."
Shen Tiantian took half a bowl of wild vegetables to Shen Nan's side of the house and knocked on the door.
"Wait a minute, what's the matter with a moment?"
"It's me, brother."
After a long while, the door opened, and Shen Tiantian walked in and smelled the fragrance of oily noodles.
"You've already eaten it, and my father thinks you don't have anything to eat, so let me send you some wild vegetables."
"It was your sister-in-law's family who sent a little oil and noodles, and I was just about to say that I would send it to the third uncle."
"That's good, give it to me." Shen Tiantian took a bowl of oil and noodles sent by Li Dingxiang and left with a smile.
Shen Nan was angry: "This nose is so pointed, it's uneasy to eat something from such a distance." ”
Li Dingxiang said: "Who says it's not? A large bowl of oil and noodles was replaced with a little wild vegetables. But it still looks quite fragrant, come and eat. ”
Recently, her maid ate enough at home in the afternoon, slept soundly, and washed cleanly, definitely not Liuya alone can take care of such a thing.
If this sister-in-law is always like this, she will be willing to send something to her sister-in-law to eat.
Shen Tiantian called Shen Dong to their house for dinner.
Shen Dong brought some tender peanuts, and a few people ate some wild vegetables, oily noodles, and some frangipani soybean flour washed with boiling water, in short, let's deal with it.
