Chapter 24: Watch Your Eyes

Shen Shu glared at Shen Pomegranate, and asked Shen Pomegranate to come back quickly, all the words he said to Shen Pomegranate before were in vain!

"I'll go back to help first, and I'll come back when I'm free!" Shen Shiliu hurriedly stood up, and before leaving, he didn't forget to take the ointment to the palm of his hand, but the ointment on the tips of his fingers had not been absorbed, and he was afraid of wasting it.

"Brother......, people have given you ointment, you can't leave without chatting...... "Shen Shimei found a reason for himself, in this era, men and women really say that they will defend themselves......

In fact, it's not that the defense is ruthless, the main thing is that Shen Shu is afraid that Shen Pomegranate will suffer!

"You do it first, don't leave the money behind!" Shen Shu also felt sorry for his sister's hand pain and didn't want her to do heavy work.

Shen pomegranate salted fish paddled for a morning, and finally finished being busy, so he followed Shen's father home, Du Xuanmo said that he was not in a hurry and then continued to make fan bones, and don't forget to make lanterns. Shen's father studied making lanterns. As soon as Shen Pomegranate and Zheng were idle, they pondered to go to hunt pigweed together, and now when the Houshan pigweed is the most dense, they will be beaten back to dry, and it will be good to make pig and duck food in winter.

"I almost forgot to catch a new duck chick, our duck is still small, even if it hasn't started laying eggs, it won't hold the nest, tomorrow I will go back to my mother's house, let your grandmother's bigger duck to hold the nest." Zheng said.

"Then I'll go with me tomorrow, let's bring some pastries and eggs." Shen Shiliu said.

"Okay!" Zheng agreed.

In the evening, the father and son of the Shen family continued to compete with the bamboo, and Shen Pomegranate saw that the broth in the pot was almost boiled, so he extinguished the fire on the stove.

"Mother, this can also be changed!" Shen Shiliu found out her previous clothes, and now that she has lost weight again, she will always dress neatly when she goes to her grandmother's house tomorrow.

Zheng took it and measured Shen Pomegranate's waist again, happy.

"I'm much thinner this time!" As he spoke, Zheng picked up the basket and changed Shen Shimei's clothes.

The Zheng family feels sorry for their daughter, and now Shen Shimei, who is working hard at home, is also rushing to do it, and Shen's father is a lot less busy.

Shen Shiliu pondered that at his own rate, it is estimated that he will be able to lose weight into a normal figure in another year, and he will not be disgusted by that time. The basin took a picture of his fat face, although he still has a lot of meat, but his eyes are big, and he still has double eyelids, thinking that he should look good if he loses weight, after all, the rest of the three members of the Shen family look good-looking, and she will not be the only one with genetic mutations.

Shen Pomegranate got up early the next day, the glutinous rice had been steamed and pounded last night, and she had to hurry up and wrap all the pastries. Zheng changed his clothes overnight and repaired them.

"Mother, pick up some eggs." Shen Shiliu said that the eggs were bought at the current establishment before, and their family also saved what they ate on weekdays, and now there is still half a basket left.

Father Shen glanced at it and said, "Where are you going, the child's uncle and aunt are also living tightly." ”

Zheng nodded, and took down the basket, Shen Pomegranate wrapped a morning of pastries, can weigh four or five pounds, the weather is not cold, and it is easy to break if you do too much, these are enough for Uncle and their family to eat for a few days.

Shen Shiliu changed into clothes, although his appearance did not look much different from before, but his mood was not at a glance.

This girl has lost weight again!

The mother and daughter kept this thing and went out, and the Shen family father and son also pushed the broth out of the house.

Shen Shiliu followed his mother for a while, Shangyang Village was not far away, and the two of them arrived in less than half an hour.

"When you get to your uncle's house for a while, don't mention farming or anything, your aunt should be angry!" Zheng instructed Shen Shimei.

Shen Shimei doesn't understand, why is this?

"What's going on, mother?" Shen Shiliu asked.

"Your aunt is a little bit of a while, sometimes her heart is small, your grandfather went early, your grandmother pulled the three of us brothers and sisters alone, when your second uncle got married, the second aunt married a lot, and most of the family's land was divided, and your aunt was a little unhappy."

Shen Shiliu nodded, this kind of division of family property is easy to cause unpleasantness. Not to mention such a small village, even in modern times, there are many people who have been turned upside down because of the division of family property. What boss gets a house, then the old man will be raised by the boss, the daughter will not give a cent of the property, all to the son, and in the end, the son is not filial piety and does not support the old man, so he can only let the old man go to the daughter again. There are a lot of such ozone layers, after all, people are greedy in most cases.

When they arrived at Uncle Zheng's, the mother and daughter happened to see Liang feeding the ducks in the yard.

"Grandma!" Shen Shiliu shouted, and when Liang turned around, he saw that his daughter and grandson were coming, and hurriedly put down the basin in his hand.

"Why are you two here? Not busy at home? Liang asked.

"Busy is busy, but busy you have to come and see!" Zheng said and asked Shen Shiliu to put down the things he brought first.

When someone came to the house, someone came out of the house. Aunt Zheng saw that Zheng was back, and she also had a little smile on her face.

"It's the third sister who is back!" Aunt Zheng's name is Xu Yuzhi, and after greeting her, she looked at the things on the table, and then said, "Come here, what are you doing with so many things, it's not easy at home!" But having said that, the hand still opened everything he had brought.

Xu Yuzhi saw a lot of things, and was satisfied, although eggs were valuable, but that basket of pastries she liked the most, and the pastries that Liang brought back last time they all thought they were delicious.

"Hello aunt." Shen Shimei called people, and Xu Yuzhi smiled.

Shen Shiliu didn't go out much before, and Aunt Zheng had only seen it a few times.

"Hey, the pomegranate has grown up, and it looks much taller and stronger!" Xu Yuzhi said.

Xu Yuzhi looks to be in her forties, her eyes are hanging, and she is not easy to mess with at first glance.

Shen Shiliu smiled and didn't say anything.

A few people sat down, and Zheng said: "Mother, we want some duck chicks, but the ducks are still small, and they can't lay eggs or hold nests, can you see if our ducks are okay?" ”

After Zheng finished speaking, Liang didn't wait to speak, Xu Yuzhi said, "Okay!" But our duck eggs are all sold, and we can't save them on weekdays, so why don't you have eggs? ”

Shen Shimei can be heard that the eldest aunt is reluctant to duck eggs!

Zheng couldn't hear it, so he said, "Let's pay some money!" ”

Xu Yuzhi hurriedly said: "Look at what you said, it seems that my sister-in-law loves money a lot!" "Then I went to the kitchen and ordered how many duck eggs there are in the house now.

Liang smiled lightly, everything was silent.

Shen Shiliu took a look at the courtyard, the yard was quite big and high, and it looked much better than the Shen family.

"This house was built by your uncle when he married his daughter-in-law!" Zheng said that the reason why Liang gave Zheng the second uncle more land was that the house cost a lot of silver, and the second brother didn't build a house, so he gave more land.

Shen Shiliu nodded, but fortunately, building a house in this era does not require human life, unlike modern times where there are one or two million at every turn, and the houses of the working class are more than three or four hundred thousand.

Xu Yuzhi took out half a basket of duck eggs, about thirty of them, and then sat down and said to Zheng: "This duck egg was originally intended to be sold at home, and it usually sells for two cents and three, this ......"

How could Zheng not understand that his sister-in-law read this to her, anyway, if she changes to another family, she has to give money, who is not giving money!

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, the money is not bad!" As he spoke, Zheng took out his money bag and took twenty coins and put it in front of Aunt Zheng.

Aunt Zheng saw that the money was so neat, so she said: "As soon as this duck hugs the nest, it will not be good to lay eggs, this ......

"Yuzhi ......" Liang can't stand it anymore, this daughter-in-law is still so calculating about her family!

Xu Yuzhi saw that her mother-in-law was unhappy, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "If you don't lay eggs, you won't lay eggs, the third sister is looking for us to help, don't we have to help if we lose money!" ”

Liang sighed, this daughter-in-law is not bad else, but she is too calculating.

Zheng also smiled bitterly, but after everyone had said anything, she took out another twenty yuan and gave it to Xu Yuzhi: "Sister-in-law take these money, it will be regarded as a loss." "Anyway, the duck chicks have to pay this price, who is the money for, is it not earned!

Shen Shiliu didn't intervene during the whole process, and after Zheng and Xu Yuzhi finished talking about it, several people sat down to chat.

"Did my uncle go to work?" Shen Shiliu asked, the eldest uncle's family still has two sons, and he hasn't seen anyone at this time.

Xu Yuzhi nodded: "Yes, the Zhuang family is also in the field, and they can't make any money every year, it's good to have food and clothing, my mother is in good health, and she has saved a lot of money if she doesn't get sick." ”

Zheng knows that this sister-in-law is not a bad heart, so be careful, just be careful, just be good to your mother-in-law.

"It's time for our big pillar and second pillar to talk about family affairs, right?" Zheng asked, but as soon as he finished asking, Liang sighed first.

Shen Shiliu saw that there was something wrong here, so he waited to listen to the following.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Shi looked at Liang first, and then asked Xu Yuzhi.

Xu Yuzhi also said helplessly: "Dazhu and Erzhu don't have much money to marry a wife, and now they have to marry a daughter-in-law to live together with a large family. ”

Zheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "It's okay to live in one piece, our house is big enough, even if we all live in, it won't be crowded!" ”

Shen Shiliu also nodded, thinking that there were people who wanted a house in any era, but soon she understood the embarrassment here.

This aunt estimates that "careful eyes" are also famous in the village, and the daughters of ordinary people are also afraid that the future mother-in-law will be careful, and the future life will not be moisturized, saying that it is to build a house, but in fact, she wants to go out and live alone, and she did not ask her mother-in-law to talk in her ear, and her life is better. After all, they are all in the same village, and the people in the village are not all dead love money, they are all living a poor life, how can they dislike this and that, the problem is still in the people.

Xu Yuzhi didn't say much, for fear of being laughed at, so she directly crossed over this topic and moved on to the next topic.

"Do you remember the old Yang family in our village?" Xu Yuzhi asked Zheng.

Zheng nodded and said, "Is it the one in the east of the village?" There's a poplar tree in the yard? "She also grew up in this Shangyang Village, how can she not know.

"Yes, just his family, the old man in his family has been sick for two or three years, and the family's money has been taken out to see a doctor, and he originally saved money for his grandson to marry a daughter-in-law, but now he is still in debt, I heard a few days ago that the old Yang Touer was going to hang himself, but he found it in time and rescued it." Xu Yuzhi said.

As soon as the word "hanging" was mentioned, Zheng Shi sighed in his heart and hurriedly looked at Shen Shimei. Liang also glared at Xu Yuzhi, thinking to himself why this Xu Yuzhi didn't open any pot!
