When Shen Shiliu arrived home, Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Shen Shimei: "Why did you come back, don't do this in the future!" ”

"Yes, I know it's wrong, what's going on with my brother?" Shen Shiliu asked Zheng with a smile.

As soon as Zheng heard that Shen Shu was asked, his face softened a lot.

"It's done, the marriage certificate will be passed three days later, and the village chief will be the witness!" Zheng said.

"It's fast, so you'll have to prepare!" Shen Shiliu said.

Zheng was proud: "There is no need to prepare anything else, our family will give five taels of silver as a dowry!" "Five taels their family can still get it now.

Shen Shiliu smiled: "I'm not worried about the silver, I'm thinking about making a good table to entertain guests in three days!" ”

Zheng agreed: "It should indeed be done like this, what do you need to do, you say, my mother will prepare it for you!" ”

There is no need to prepare much, most of the things are ready-made, and she can prepare the rest by herself.

It was not too early, Zheng asked Shen Shiliu to go to sleep quickly, and after Shen Shimei returned to the room, he pondered that after Shen Shu's family affairs were decided, he would clean up the window of her house, and now it was okay, it would be time to leak a cool breeze everywhere in a few days!

Early in the morning, Shen Pomegranate carried an axe and a back frame into the back mountain, and poured the season of firewood.

The area behind the mountain is very large, and the people of the village will come to the back mountain to cut firewood every season. Shen Pomegranate went directly to the pine forest, and first got two sacks of pine needles, which were very good to ignite, and it was especially convenient to keep a little to use.

"Pomegranate?" Han Shuliang was also there, and when he saw Shen Shimei, he screamed.

As soon as Shen Shiliu turned around, he saw Han Shuliang walking towards him with the basket on his back.

"Brother Shuliang." Shen Shimei is amazing, and now the two can not be too embarrassed to meet.

Han Shuliang also came to install pine needles, and the two got together to chat and work.

"How is Uncle Han's leg now? Are you better? Shen Shimei had nothing to talk about.

Han Shuliang nodded: "It's already a lot better, I've been able to barely get off the ground, and Lang Zhong said that it will be good when spring begins." ”

"That's good, as soon as Uncle Han's legs are good, your family's life will be eased." Shen Shiliu said.

Han Shuliang smiled lightly: "Thanks to you, my father can eat good food now, and it is much better." Shen Shiliu later took out the one or two pieces of silver, which not only allowed his family to have enough to eat, but also a lot of surplus wealth.

Shen Shiliu smiled: "Anyway, it's borrowed, and it's not given away for nothing, where is it thanks to me?" ”

Han Shu's conscience was clear in his heart, and in that situation at that time, it was the greatest luck that someone was willing to borrow.

"I've finished my pine needles, I'm going over there!" Shen Pomegranate pointed to a small piece of forest next to it, there were many birch trees on that end, and she was going to scrape some birch bark, which would also be good for ignition.

Han Shuliang nodded, he had almost finished it, it was time to go.

Shen Pomegranate pulled east and west in the morning, got several sacks of firewood bark, stacked it with a back frame, and carried it home.

Zheng was already cooking at home, and seeing that Shen Shimei was carrying so many things, he went up to help.

"Mother, I'll do it myself, don't do it." Shen Pomegranate carried firewood and threw it into the simple warehouse in the yard.

Zheng sighed: "My daughter is my mother's intimate little padded jacket!" ”

Shen Shiliu smiled: "It's as if my brother is not intimate, my brother will be sad when he knows!" ”

Zheng smiled: "Stinky girl, that's different!" ”

Shen Pomegranate finished packing up the firewood, washed his face, and took advantage of the fact that Shen's father had not come back yet, and went to the duck house to count the first batch of ducks inside.

"Are you going to sell it?" Zheng leaned over and asked.

Shen Shiliu nodded and said: "It's time to sell, it's already fat enough, although it will make a few more money by selling it during the New Year, but it is not cost-effective to have food during this time." "Get rid of it.

"Then let's go to the county seat with your father tomorrow." Zheng said.

Shen Pomegranate thought of a question: "What is the good price?" I haven't sold it before, and no one buys it when it's expensive, and I lose money when it's cheap. ”

"This mother doesn't know, wait for your father to come back and ask, if not, I'll inquire tomorrow." Zheng said.

"Then I won't sell it tomorrow, I'll inquire tomorrow!" Shen Shiliu said, inquiring accurately and then tossing the duck.

"It's okay, it's not bad for a day or two!" Zheng said with a smile that as soon as this duck was bought, the family could have an extra amount of money.

Shen Pomegranate picked out the ones he wanted to keep and isolated them first, Shen Shu had to kill one on the day he got married, and the rest was sent to his grandmother's house, and the rest was kept at home to eat until the New Year.

At noon, Shen's father arrived home, listened to Shen Shimei's words, and said: "This is easy to inquire, tomorrow I will go to the south of the city to inquire, there are ducks for sale." ”

Shen Shiliu pondered for a while, and said: "After going to the vegetable market to inquire, I will go to the restaurant to inquire, if the restaurant wants a large amount, I will shoot directly!" ”

When Shen's father heard this, he hesitated: "It is estimated that the restaurant has a fixed number of people for acquisition, and retail families like us may not stay." ”

"It's okay, just inquire first, if you don't succeed, I'll go with you tomorrow and take a few more looks." Shen Shiliu said that now she still has a batch of ducks at home, although there are fewer books, but if she becomes a "long-term farmer", she must consider the sales in advance.

Father Shen nodded, anyway, it's to make money, and it's nothing to run more.

The family had a meal, but in the afternoon, they still did their own work, and Shen Pomegranate collected the sun-dried pigweed.

The pigweed was already the last batch, and Shen Pomegranate estimated that there was nothing to fight in the back mountains before this frost, so he asked Shen's father: "Dad, do we have any small animals in the back mountains?" It seems that I have been weeding in the back mountains for so long, and I haven't seen any "game".

Father Shen smiled: "The back mountain is too shallow, and there are many people who go, there are basically no animals, but if you go deeper into the mountains, you will have them." There are not many hunters in the village, and most of the villagers do not know how to hunt and do not go deep into the mountains. ”

"Oh, so, does that dad know how to hunt?" Shen Shiliu asked, regretting that he hadn't thought of this earlier, if it was cold today, there would be fewer activities for small animals to come out.

Father Shen shook his head: "This dad won't, Orion's skills are more miscellaneous, and your dad doesn't even know a little fur!" Father Shen smiled bitterly and asked, "You want to hunt again?" ”

Shen Shiliu smiled: "I want to think, but we won't!" She wanted to use all her strength to make her family rich, but even if it was beyond her ability, if she didn't have the diamond, don't toss around.

In the afternoon, Shen Pomegranate slept for a while, and then went to the river to catch fish. A few folks were also there, all wanting to catch a batch before the frost.

"It's useless again!" A fellow caught an old turtle and was about to throw it back, but was stopped by Shen Pomegranate.

"Don't throw it, I'll trade it for fish!" Shen Shiliu said and took out a half-sized fish.

The fellow was also simple, so he said, "Do you want this thing?" Then take it, you don't have to exchange it for fish! ”

"That's not good!" Shen Shiliu smiled and took the old turtle, in the end, he still gave the fish to the villagers, and he couldn't take advantage of others in vain.

The fellow is quite happy, there are not many fish in the river now, and it is considered a waste to get one.

Shen Pomegranate fished for a while, and there were some fish and shrimp, but she felt that it was quite worth being happy to have this old turtle today.

returned home in the evening, and Shen Shu also arrived home.

"Pomegranate, for you." Shen Shu took out a small cloth bag.

"What's this?" Shen Shiliu asked, looking at the thing wrapped in a handkerchief in his hand.

Shen Shu smiled indulgently, grabbed Shen Pomegranate's hair and said, "Just open it yourself and see!" ”

Shen Pomegranate opened the veil expectantly, and there was a hairpin inside.

The hairpin is carved from wood, and there are two pomegranate flowers on it, one with buds waiting to be released, and the other blooms just right, which is smooth in the hand and has a faint fragrance.

"This brother carved it himself?" How do you look at Shen pomegranate, how do you think it looks good, the wooden one is both beautiful and unconventional.

Shen Shu nodded: "The one on your head is already old, carve a new one for you." ”

The original hairpin on Shen Pomegranate's head was carved by Shen's father, although it was okay, but it was worse than Shen Shudiao's one.

Shen Shiliu directly put on the new hairpin, and then asked with a smirk: "Is it good-looking?" ”

Shen Shu smiled, and Zheng also smiled and said, "It's good-looking, our pomegranates are really getting better and better!" ”

Shen Shiliu smiled bitterly: "It's natural for your own children to look good!" ”

Father Shen retorted: "Your mother is not talking nonsense this time, she does look a lot better, is it a matter of losing weight?" ”

Regarding the loss of weight, Shen Shiliu thinks it is possible, after all, the waist circumference and the size of the clothes have been reduced several times, although his family can't see it, but compared with Shen Shimei at the beginning, it is still very obvious.

Shen Shiliu believes in the sentence that one fat destroys everything, and now he thinks that he can hide his white ugliness with a thin weight, and his face can be opened a little bit.

"When I lose weight, I will definitely be a big beauty!" Shen Shiliu said affirmatively, the perseverance of weight loss is even firmer!

The family is smiling, a piece of harmony, the leaves on the trees fall as soon as the wind blows, and the flowers fall colorfully, which is a good autumn color.

The next day, Shen Shiliu followed her to the county seat, she did not follow her father and brother to the stall, but walked around the county by herself, first went to the vegetable market.

"Boss, how do you sell the ducks?" Shen Shiliu conducts market research.

Shen Shiliu asked a few families, basically all of them were fifty wen each, and she also had a score in her heart. After asking about the price of the retail sale, I went to the downtown again, and when I saw a restaurant, I went in and asked.

"Is the shopkeeper there?" Shen Shiliu walked into a restaurant and asked.

"I am!" A middle-aged man should arrive, looked at Shen Shimei, and didn't know what this little chubby girl was going to do.

"Boss, do we collect ducks? The village is home-raised, and it is very fat! Shen Shiliu said.

As soon as he heard that it was a duck sale, the shopkeeper walked out of the counter and asked a few words.

"How many pounds can a duck have?" The shopkeeper said that the owner had just found a chef for roast duck, and he really needed duck recently.

"One can be more than six catties, all of them are fat, and they are mixed with fish and shrimp at home, and the meat is absolutely tender!" Shen Pomegranate strongly recommends her own ducks, her ducks are different from other families who only feed simple feed, and they are fish and shrimp and green leaves, and the meat quality is definitely not firewood.
