The Shen family began to purchase New Year's goods, from tomorrow to the fifteenth day of the first month, their broth will not be sold for the time being, and the people here are more enthusiastic about the taste of the New Year.

Father Shen didn't forget to go to the butcher shop to say hello to the boss, so he didn't have to deliberately keep the sheep goods, and bought some meat by the way.

You have to buy all the meat and eggs you eat. They want to eat some vegetables in this place in winter, but it is difficult. Unlike modern greenhouses, there are greenhouses and soilless cultivation, farmers just follow the season, so in the autumn every family has to store autumn vegetables, maybe this winter is just some greens.

"There is no shortage of chickens and fish, we have ducks, and we have bought some cattle and sheep, now let's see what is missing?" Father Shen asked Shen Shimei.

"There's no shortage, just enough of them, and then see if there are any gifts that can be given, and relatives always have to move around." Shen Shiliu said.

Shen Shu nodded: "I also want to go around and walk around on the Hong family's side." ”

Shen Shiliu smiled: "Brother, you are really enlightened!" ”

Father Shen smiled and went to the wine shop, and he always had to give something that he could get his hands on!

When the family returned home, Zheng quickly took the cloth to make clothes for the two children, and there were still a few days before Chinese New Year's Eve, and they could come out in a hurry.

"Mother, I'll help you!" Shen Pomegranate helped the Zheng family in the past, and now he doesn't have to sell broth, and the time is free. Since she made cotton gloves for Du Xuanmo last time, she felt that her needlework was okay.

Zheng and Shen Shimei's mother and daughter chatted while cutting clothes, and Zheng asked, "Pomegranate, aren't you in love with the little brother of the Du family?" ”

Shen Shiliu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zheng to see it, and finally nodded.

"When did it start?" Zheng was also puzzled, could it be that he had taken a fancy to it for a long time, so he didn't let Han Shuliang come in?

"I don't know, mother, don't ask so much about your old man!" Shen Shiliu said, how can emotional matters be clearly explained in one sentence or two?

Zheng scolded with a smile: "Where is your mother an old man!" "But after all, the Zheng family is also from the past, and although his daughter's family affairs are willing to be done by his daughter, he is also afraid that Shen Shimei will be small, and his idea is wrong.

"Pomegranate, we are Zhuanghu people, and they can't beat the eighth pole of the scholarly door, although our family is not only eating with things in the field now, but we have been Zhuanghu people since we were children, even if we wear brocade clothes, it is also a belly of straw bales, my mother is afraid that the Du family will give you anger, and I can't look down on you!" Zheng's look at people seems to be accurate, although Du Niangzi said that she looks soft and weak, but she can see that Du Niangzi is a person who can pick, and she definitely can't look down on Shen Pomegranate!

Shen Shiliu nodded, she already knew about this, and she could see that Du Niangzi's attitude towards Song White Lotus could also see that Du Niangzi liked Little White Lotus. But there is nothing wrong with it, everyone has a love for beauty. She sometimes brainwashes herself, she is indeed ugly, and she must let herself accept reality, at least she is obviously ugly and can't expect everyone to like her, at least people's tastes are not so heavy.

Ugliness is the original sin.

Shen Shiliu thought so negatively.

"Mother, it's okay, I'm just in love, and I didn't say that I would really marry him, if I really can't say it, I'll change someone else to like, there are not many two-legged men!" Shen Shiliu comforted the Zheng family, not wanting his mother to worry about working hard.

Zheng sighed: "Shuliang's child is also very good, he is also literate and studying, and people and our family are considered to be the right family, if you are willing, my mother will go and talk to your Aunt Han, even if you don't get rich, our family's money should be regarded as a dowry for you, after all, you won't be angry in the future!" ”

Shen Shiliu smiled: "Mother, don't worry about this matter first, I'm still young, I know it in my own heart!" ”

Zheng Shi saw that Shen Pomegranate didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he stopped talking, now Shen Pomegranate is still young, and he may understand when he is older in the future, women still have to find an honest man, Du Xuanmo is good looking and knowledgeable, but he doesn't eat properly, right? She, a mother, doesn't want her daughter to have any setbacks, hanging herself once is really enough!

Shen Shiliu looked at Zheng's canvas, and the front sleeves were all painted and cut. When she painted for her, she didn't care too much, but when she painted for Shen Shu, Shen Pomegranate looked at it seriously.

Zheng knew Shen Shimei's thoughts, women always had to make clothes for men, so they carefully taught how big the painting was and how wide the stitches were left.

Shen Shiliu listened carefully, this place is not as good as modern Taobao, what you want to wear can be bought online. Even if she goes to a ready-to-wear store, manual work still costs a lot of money, and she doesn't feel that she is a rich person now, she must save what she should save, and the poor must know a variety of survival skills.

At night, Shen Pomegranate was tired and ready to pack up and sleep, but Shen Shu knocked on the door outside.

"Pomegranate, have you slept?" Shen Shu asked outside.

As soon as Shen Shiliu heard that it was Shen Shu, he went over to open the door, and when Shen Shu came in, he asked, "Brother, what's the matter so late?" ”

Shen Shu's face was embarrassed, and finally said, "Last time you sewed a cotton hand, can you make another pair?" ”

"Can it be, you want to bring it?" Shen Shiliu said that the sewing was not given to Shen Shu last time, mainly when Shen Shu did not freeze his hands.

Shen Shu blushed and said, "Well, I want to give you a pair of Sister Xiuhua, she has frostbite on her hand and has recurred." ”

"Hey, I'm thinking about something, it's not easy, don't worry, it'll be done tomorrow, and you'll be in a hurry!" Shen Shiliu said, her gloves just took some effort, otherwise the sewn hands would be loose and tight.

Shen Shu smiled: "That's okay, brother, thank you, I'll lead you to put flowers when the time comes!" After speaking, Shen Shu was about to leave first, but was stopped by Shen Pomegranate again.

"Wait a minute, brother, I don't seem to see Sister Xiuhua today, how do you know that she has chilblains? I didn't see chilblains when I saw her before! Shen Shimei said, his little eyes were still Kaba, and he looked at Shen Shu with a wicked smile.

"It's not ...... I'll send some rice cakes at home, and I met them, and my mother sent them! Shen Shu stumbled and said.

Shen Pomegranate was happy, Shen Shu was stumbling when he spoke, so he wouldn't tell a lie.

"Mother's? Then I'll ask my mother tomorrow! As soon as Shen Shimei's voice fell, Shen Shu hurriedly said: "This girl, I didn't let my mother, I went by myself!" ”

Shen Shiliu was speechless: "Then tell the truth, but you have finally grown a heart, which is a good thing!" Shen Pomegranate laughed at the end.

Shen Shu pinched Shen Pomegranate's nose and scolded with a smile and left first, Shen Pomegranate quickly counted it and fell asleep first.

Although there is no need to sell broth, the habit formed for a long time cannot be changed for a while, and Shen Shimei still got up early in the morning. After washing my face, I started to prepare breakfast, and when the fire burned in the morning, it finally got hot.

"Wake up so early, pomegranate!" Shen Shu also got up early.

"Brother, don't you also get up early, and you want to go to the river to dig an ice hole?" Shen Shiliu asked.

Shen Shu smiled: "Yes, Chinese New Year's Eve rice to make fresh fish, when the time comes, you have to show your hand!" After Shen Shu finished speaking, he took the tools and left, still holding the book in his hand, and he couldn't leave his homework and knowledge behind.

Shen Pomegranate picked up a few pieces of charcoal, hit it into the copper basin and took it to Shen's father and Shen's mother's room. The Shen family is also getting up at this time, although it is not cold, but as soon as they leave the bed, they seem to feel cold, at this time Shen Pomegranate sent a brazier, and the house quickly warmed up.

"Why does this kid get up so early, and he doesn't know how to sleep!" Zheng said, and after getting dressed, he hurried to help Shen Shimei.

Father Shen came out to see that Shen Shiliu was busy sweating, so he muttered: "This kid also has a good physique, and it is estimated that his body will be burned out." "They are not stupid, Shen Shimei's current workload is estimated to be not much different from that of a big man like him. Shen Shu still has to go to the school at home, he still has to work in the county, and a lot of the work at home is taken care of by Shen Pomegranate, thinking back on a year, Shen Pomegranate is really not easy.

"Dad, are you warmer?" Shen Shiliu looked up at Shen's father.

Father Shen nodded: "Warm, remember to put a pot in your house, don't take care of your body just because you're young!" ”

"Don't worry, I'm also afraid that I have a headache and brain fever, and I'm really reluctant to spend the money to treat the disease and get medicine!" Shen Shiliu said with a smile, the cold and flu in this place can kill people, and it is also extremely expensive to ask Lang Zhong to catch medicine. In the past, when she watched TV series, she really thought that Langzhong in ancient times had no status, but now that she looks at it, she has no status and is compared with those kings and grandsons.

Shen Shu came back early in the morning, there were three fish in the basket, although it was winter, but the fish was not thin, Shen Pomegranate took a look, he could make a few meals, so he raised it in a wooden basin first, and took the time to pry the water with a scoop, so as not to cause the fish to lack oxygen and directly float into the white belly.

Shen Shiliu continued to sew clothes, and she also sewed Shen Shu's clothes carefully, so she had the right to practice!

When Shen's father was fine, he slaughtered the few fat ducks left behind before and scalded them with boiling water.

"Although it takes some time to pick up this duck, it is really delicious, and the restaurants in the county town are definitely not as good as the ones made by our pomegranates!" Father Shen was busy praising Shen Pomegranate over and over again.

Zheng and Shen Pomegranate were sewing clothes on the kang, and when they heard this, they said: "Our pomegranate also said that he will open a big restaurant in the future!" Her face was full of pampering, although she knew there was no such possibility.

Father Shen was also happy when he heard it, and said: "Our pomegranate really thinks far, and it really says that it has opened a big restaurant, and my father and mother are really blessed!" ”

Shen Shiliu knew that her father and mother felt that the big restaurant couldn't do it, and she didn't refute it, nor did she boast about Haikou, after all, she didn't have a score in her heart now, and she couldn't open a big one or a small one? Wait for the small ones to do well, and then think about opening bigger ones. But now the money is not enough, there is no money to say anything in vain, as long as the money is enough, she immediately opens up, and she doesn't want to really freeze outside all the time in winter!
