173 Visit the Wen family
Sheng Zhizhi pursed her mouth, a look of grievance appeared on her face, but she didn't seem to notice it, and what she said was very sincere, only admitting that her restlessness was due to the relationship between the bench.
Sheng Qingqing was amused to see it, and wanted to continue to tease a few words, but in the end, she was still soft-hearted and ended the topic with kindness.
"Sister went to town today, in addition to the face towels for you just now, I also bought a lot of things, do you want them?"
Sheng Zhizhi's eyes lit up, and the aggrieved look on her face disappeared in an instant, and she looked at her with a blank eye.
Sheng Siming was also curious.
No wonder they reacted so much, it's been so many years, and they've never received a gift. The children in the village who have both parents, even if their families are poor, will have a birthday present on their birthday. Most of them are small things, straw crickets and the like, but that's also a gift!
Sheng Zhizhi is okay, Sheng's father and mother have not passed away before the age of three, and they have the opportunity to celebrate their birthday. And Sheng Siming is pitiful, not long after he was born, his parents died, which is basically equivalent to not seeing his parents, let alone his birthday. When Sheng Qingqing didn't come to this world, the three of them would just pray for a safe year and grow up safely, but the others didn't dare to be delusional.
Inheriting the memory of the original owner, Sheng Qingqing naturally knew how hard the three of the original owner's siblings had been in the past few years, so they went to the street today to buy so many things. At this point, she was very happy with the reaction of her two children.
But seeing the two children's eyes, she couldn't help but have the idea of prank, and sold off.
"Close your eyes until I say open them."
Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming immediately closed their eyes and were very obedient.
So while they couldn't see it, Sheng Qingqing quickly took out two things from the space and put them in front of them.
Then she chuckled and said, "Okay, open your eyes." ”
"Wow! Is this for me! Sheng Zhizhi screamed immediately after seeing the gift in front of her.
Sheng Siming didn't scream, but he couldn't wait to play with the gift, which showed that he was very satisfied.
Sheng Qingqing chuckled lightly and said dotingly: "Of course it's for you." ”
After buying meat at the butcher's shop, she used the remaining few taels of silver to buy some bits and pieces. In addition to the three face towels, what was given to Sheng Zhizhi was a jacket, which was red, embroidered with white plums, and if Sheng Zhizhi wore it, it would definitely be more cute. And now that the spring is cold, the jacket is not thick or thin, and it is the time to wear it.
And for Sheng Siming, it is a set of four treasures of the study.
It's not a precious brand, it's just the most ordinary. But this thing is obviously the most useful for Sheng Siming after that, and it just so happens that he is going to study with a teacher, and what he needs most is naturally a set of four treasures of the study.
The two children were very happy touching their respective gifts.
The person who receives the gift is satisfied, and the person who gives the gift is naturally even happier.
Sheng Qingqing smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's wait for the baby, go wash up first, and look at the two of you, you are all little cats." ”
Although they had washed their faces and hands with a washcloth, they were still covered with a lot of dust.
Sheng Qingqing boiled several pots of hot water and bathed the two children respectively.
These days, the warm equipment is not good, and if you take a bath casually, it is easy to get sick. So most people can not take a bath without taking a bath, unless you can't stand the itching on your body.
But Sheng Qingqing, as a modern person who takes a bath every day, can't stand this, but fortunately she took her two younger siblings to pay attention to hygiene. Even in winter, they have to take a shower every two days.
With the presence of miraculous springs, they don't worry about getting sick now. Although the three siblings still look a little thin, they are actually very strong.
After taking a bath, Sheng Zhizhi couldn't wait to change into new clothes, and kept asking the other two people in the family if they looked good.
Sheng Siming has always been a stuffy gourd and does not express an opinion on this.
"It's good-looking, Zhizhi is the best!" Sheng Qingqing was patient to answer at first, but after answering dozens of times, she finally couldn't help but press this little girl to the bed.
"Sleep! Wear it to the village tomorrow, and show off to whoever you like! ”
As long as you don't bother her like a repeater, that's all right.
Sheng Zhizhi was not angry, she carefully folded the jacket and put it next to the pillow and fell asleep peacefully.
So when she got up the next morning, not only Sheng Qingqing got up, but Sheng Zhizhi also got up early in the morning.
But Sheng Qingqing got up to prepare breakfast, and soaked the seeds she bought yesterday in spring water, which were important things. However, after Sheng Zhizhi put on the jacket properly, she swallowed a bowl of porridge in three or two bites, and then couldn't wait to go to the village to find her little friend.
Sheng Siming: "......"
"Leave her alone." Sheng Qingqing couldn't help but roll her eyes, and while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, she hated iron and said: "It's like a mud monkey, don't look at the fun now, wait for that body to be stained with dust, see if she comes back and cry." ”
Sheng Siming wanted to speak and stopped.
Sheng Qingqing cleaned up the kitchen neatly, but said to him: "Siming and my sister went to Wen Xiucai's side today to ask." ”
Is this going to talk about apprenticeship?
Sheng Siming is very interested in learning, compared to reading, going to the village to have fun, there is no fun at all.
He immediately nodded in agreement, because the order was so fast, it seemed that he couldn't wait. This is rare for Sheng Siming, who is slow to do everything on weekdays.
Sheng Qingqing laughed and couldn't help touching his little head.
symbolically locked the courtyard door, and let the little civet cat take care of the house, regardless of whether the kitten could understand human speech, the left and right sisters and brothers went to the neighboring village hand in hand.
Wen Xiucai's village is next door to Shengjia Village, and it takes only a quarter of an hour to walk there, which is trouble-free. And Wen Xiucai can be described as a "household name" in their village, and you can know where his home is by asking casually.
It didn't take long for Sheng Qingqing to take her little brother to the Wen family.
"Is Mr. Wen at home?" Sheng Qingqing asked politely.
The person who answered the door was an old woman, forty or fifty years old, who looked like Wen Xiucai's mother.
Because of the perennial work, the old lady's face is a little old, but her eyebrows are gentle, and she looks very kind, at this time she smiled kindly when she heard the words, and said, "The little girl is here to find my family?" But what's the matter? ”
Sheng Qingqing wants to pay attention to people's respect for me, I respect people, the old lady is so kind, her posture suddenly became even lower.
After a junior salute, she said softly: "Hello madam, my name is Sheng Qingqing, and this is my younger brother Sheng Siming." I was fortunate to have the help of Mr. Wen before, and I came here today to give a thank you gift. ”
Sheng Qingqing raised her right hand and let the old lady see it.
She had three pieces of meat hanging from her hands, two of which were just the usual pork, but the other was ......
The old lady blinked in surprise and couldn't help but say, "How can you give such a valuable gift!" ”
Saying this, she was embarrassed to block Sheng Qingqing at the door anymore, and hurriedly let her enter the door with Sheng Siming.
Although she didn't know Sheng Qingqing, the old lady didn't worry about any misdeeds between the two. A half-old child, still a girl, and another child who looks like he is only five or six years old, what can be the wrong intention?
The old lady's open-minded appearance made Sheng Qingqing feel a little warm in her heart.
She was really worried that the old lady wouldn't let them into the house for a while.
It's understandable to ask a few more words, after all, it's a stranger, if you want to be her, you will also have such a mind, and the heart of defense is indispensable.
But what she was carrying in her hand today was really eye-catching.
The three pieces of meat add up to several catties, and one of them is a cherished venison, if it is calculated as the market price, how can it be close to two hundred yuan.
In those years, everyone had a rice harvest in their homes, so that they would not starve to death. But there are not many who can afford to eat meat.
And Sheng Qingqing is young, and carrying several catties of meat like this to "swagger through the market" is really eye-catching. It's also a pity that it's still early, and Shengjia Village is not far from here, and there are few pedestrians on the road, otherwise it will be seen......
Thinking of this, Sheng Qingqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little girl, please take a seat." The old lady politely asked Sheng Qingqing to sit down, and stuffed Sheng Siming with a small piece of candy to eat.
Although the candy was only the size of a fingernail, there was only one piece, but it was milky white all over, and there was a faint milky fragrance when it got closer, obviously a candy similar to "milk candy".
If you can buy milk and sugar, the family economy is already good. And there is still room to spare, and it can be made into candy, which can obviously be called "rich".
Sheng Qingqing squinted her eyes, and secretly sighed in her heart, those who can afford the children in the family to go to school and be admitted to Xiucai will really not be a poor family.
Sheng Siming took the candy, but he didn't dare to eat it immediately, but looked at Sheng Qingqing uncertainly.
It wasn't until Sheng Qingqing signaled that he could eat it that Sheng Siming put the sugar in his mouth and cherished it slowly.
When it is difficult to eat a full stomach in a poor life, eating candy is a beautiful thing that you can't even dream of.
"Little girl, sit down first, and my mother-in-law will call your Uncle Ziming over." The old lady said kindly.
Sheng Qingqing immediately smiled and responded. Counting the age and seniority, she really wants to call Wen Ziming uncle.
But she smiled, but the old lady didn't dare to slack off, and quickly got up and went to the backyard.
can raise people like Wen Xiucai, and the old lady is not one who is uninformed. As soon as Sheng Qingqing gave a gift, she gave so many things. And the etiquette is thoughtful, which is not at all consistent with her age. It can be seen that it is not an ordinary person.
So the old lady was fast.
didn't have any effort to burn half the incense, Sheng Qingqing saw Wen Xiucai.
The wife and children are safe and sound, Wenxiu should have been very comfortable these days, although there is no obvious smile on his face, but there are laugh lines at the corners of his eyes and mouth, obviously he has been smiling a lot these days.
"Mr. Wen!" Sheng Qingqing shouted with a smile.
