Chapter Twenty-Three: The Beginning of Love

Shen Shimei was speechless, then looked at Du Xuanmo and said, "It's all so popular, and appearance is supreme!" ”

Although Du Xuanmo didn't know what Shen Shimei meant by his appearance, he still noticed the teasing meaning of his words, and could only smile bitterly and said, "My face hurts......"

"Haha!" Shen Shiliu was directly amused.

Father Shen also came out of the paint shop at this time, and when he saw Du Xuan's blue nose and swollen face, he asked curiously: "What's the matter?" ”

Shen Shiliu hurriedly said: "It's okay, I fell just now and fell!" ”

Father Shen sighed, he really believed it, and muttered in his mouth: "Why is this kid so careless, there is still yarn that has not been bought, you will go home and rest first after you buy it!" ”

Du Xuanmo nodded, Shen Shiliu didn't say anything about the fight, but he was also afraid that his family would worry, and he couldn't tell Du Niangzi that he was fighting with someone when he went back.

The three of them bought everything they should have bought, Shen Shiliu helped Shen's father carry things, loaded the trolley and went back to the village, and Du Xuanmo went home.

When he finished eating, Du Xuanmo was a little listless, Du Niangzi saw her son like this, so she asked: "You and your mother are honest, did this injury fall?" What's wrong with you? ”

Du Xuanmo smiled and said, "It's okay, mother, even if you don't have any strength to just study, it's too weak!" ”

When Du Niangzi heard this, she said: "Scholars are all polite and polite, how can there be a scholar who looks five big and three thick?" You're pretty similar to your father's size, so it's good! ”

When Du Xuanmo heard this, he smiled bitterly, his father was so weak that he died of illness, and the image of him and his father was not something to be happy about, but reminded him that if he didn't exercise, he might be powerless in the future1

"In the future, I'll get up earlier to keep fit!" Du Xuanmo said that he had to exercise in the morning, and he didn't want to see the scene of standing behind a woman in the future.

Du Niangzi doesn't know what her son thinks in his heart, but it's not a bad thing to be healthy, and if you want to move, you can move.

"Son, the ...... at the end of the school" Du Niangzi said, she dropped out of school because the family really didn't have money and couldn't get a bundle, but now her son has made money from the booksstand, although it is not too much, but the money for studying is enough. If she could, she still hoped that her son would take some meritorious tests, how could he be compared with those who had merit as a small merchant and hawker?

Du Xuanmo was silent, although he had some money first, but if he went to school, the business of the bookstall here would decline, Du Niangzi's physical strength was not good, and it was really unrealistic to look at the bookstall for a day.

"I'll talk to my husband, it's only half a day in the future, and I can save some of the shackles, and I can take care of the business." Du Xuanmo said that he has read a lot of books now, as long as he discusses what he doesn't understand with his husband and asks him to give him some advice.

Du Niangzi nodded, this is also a way to live, her son can take the fame test, and the money will not be delayed, it is good after all.

"Son, your family affairs, my mother still can't rest assured......" Du Niangzi brought the matter of kissing to the surface.

Du Xuanmo sighed: "Mother, don't show up, our family is so poor, we can't marry, I really say that I want to marry, I also want to wait for the fame test, I can't harm other people's daughters!" ”

Du Niangzi looked entangled and asked, "Then do you have a favorite?" Mother will help you pay attention to inquire first, when will you be able to take the test for fame or fame, other people's families can't afford to wait for you, so you will marry first! ”

Du Xuanmo smiled bitterly, his mother is thinking too much, right?

"Mother, don't worry about this matter for now, my son knows it." Du Xuanmo said, I hope Du Niangzi doesn't toss around, he is not very old, there are many people who marry wives at an older age, and he will not be able to fall behind. If he really wants to say who he fell in love with...... what came to his mind was Shen Shimei's round little face......

"Son? What are you laughing at? Du Niangzi saw Du Xuanmo smirking alone, so she asked.

"Huh?" Du Xuanmo didn't expect that he was distracted all of a sudden, and laughed, he was really a little ashamed, and hurried back to the room after eating the broth in the bowl.

"This kid!" Du Niangzi muttered, but just now her son should have wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, why don't you smirk? Du Niangzi feels that now Du Xuanmo is such a mother as herself, and the marriage event must also be the order of her parents, so it is good to set it down early, she has to be Zhang Luo.

Du Xuanmo went to bed early when he returned to the room, and he wanted to get up early tomorrow to exercise.

The Shen family on the other end was also very busy, Shen Pomegranate and the Zheng family boiled all the sheep's hoof soup, and here they helped Shen's father to screen it. Shen's father first chopped the bamboo with a firewood knife, the thickness was the same, and then he roasted it with a blister, and after he made the most basic fan bones, Shen Pomegranate and Zheng sewed yarn.

Shen Pomegranate's needlework is not good, the speed is slow, she can sew one Zheng can sew two, but this is better than nothing, slow is slow, just sew well.

In the evening, Shen Shu came back and joined the ranks, following Shen's father to make fan bones. After eating, the family has made more than a dozen fan bones, Zheng and Shen Pomegranate beat tassels, and then sew the tassels to the thread loops, there is no messy thread at all, the fan looks slippery, perfect!

"It's going to be painted, how beautiful it is!" Zheng said that although she is a village girl, she also knows what beauty and ugliness are, and they poor people can't afford to use it, but rich people like such things.

Shen Shiliu nodded: "Rich people like vassal elegance, and they will definitely buy it!" ”

Early the next morning, before Shen Shimei got up, Du Xuanmo got up, and got up earlier than usual. There was some firewood in the yard, and he directly chopped it, and then carried water after chopping firewood. It's just that he also does these jobs on weekdays, and it doesn't seem to be useful if he wants to strengthen his body.

There is a grinding plate in the yard, which was Du Niangzi's dowry back then, but their family didn't use it much.

Du Xuanmo walked to the grinding plate and pushed the grinding plate to spin, but his strength was not very strong, and the push was not smooth, but he also felt that it was good to exercise like this.

After a busy morning, Du Xuanmo felt hot all over his body, and went to set up a stall after breakfast.

The Shen family's broth stall was also set up, and when Shen Shimei saw him coming, he beckoned him to go first.

"This is what we did yesterday, you see, we have all selected them at home, and these are all flawless!" Shen Shiliu said.

If you want to say that it is difficult, the process of transportation is the most difficult, and you are afraid of hitting the pit along the way, so be careful.

Du Xuanmo took out some, and nodded after reading it: "It's all good, I'll take it over in a while, and I'll draw it when I have time during the day!" ”

Shen Shiliu nodded, and then handed the bag to Du Xuanmo.

When the two handed over, Du Xuanmo saw that Shen Pomegranate's fingertips were red, and asked, "Pomegranate girl, ...... your hand?" ”

Shen Shiliu glanced at it and smiled bitterly: "I don't do needlework well, I sew slowly, and sometimes I still prick my hands, but it's okay, just raise it for two days, I'm already familiar with my hands, and I won't prick it again in the future, you can rest assured, I won't stain the fan bone and fan surface!" She explained, afraid that Du Xuanmo would worry about the quality of semi-finished products.

Du Xuanmo frowned, the girl's hand was the second face, and Shen Shimei didn't cherish his second face too much. As everyone knows, Shen Pomegranate doesn't even cherish the first face very much, it's all the same ugly anyway, how can he take care of the second face? Of course, it still hurts, and she doesn't want to prick her hands anymore in order not to hurt her.

"You help me look at the stall, I'll go home." Du Xuanmo instructed Shen Shiliu to turn his head and run directly into the alley.

Shen Shiliu looked at the stall, she didn't know how the book was rented, she just watched not to let people take the book away. When someone came to ask, she could only ask her to wait first, and then rent it when Du Xuanmo came back.

"Hurry up, someone is renting a book!" Shen Shiliu shouted when she saw Du Xuanmo at the mouth of the alley, she was about to be stunned.

Du Xuanmo ran two steps quickly, put a black porcelain box in his hand into Shen Shimei's hand, and said, "You wipe it first!" Then he went to entertain the people who rented the books.

Shen Shiliu opened the small porcelain box, which was filled with green ointment, smelling a lot of smell, thinking that it should be a tube of trauma.

She deducted a little from the lid of the box, and she didn't want to make too big of other people's medicines, so it was better to save a little.

After Du Xuanmo sent away a wave of guests, he was finally able to catch his breath, and when he turned around, he saw Shen Shimei picking and searching for the medicine, so he walked over and took the ointment, grabbed Shen Shimei's hand and said, "I'll help you wipe it, it doesn't hurt." He thought it was Shen Pomegranate who was afraid of pain.

Shen Shiliu was stunned for a moment and said, "I know it doesn't hurt, I can't bear your medicine, it's all money!" Seeing that Du Xuanmo was not stingy at all and smeared a thick layer of ointment on her, Shen Shimei was distressed, why would she not be able to pass it like this!

After Du Xuanmo finished smearing Shen Pomegranate, he covered the ointment, put it in front of Shen Pomegranate and said, "You take it back and use it first, your family is making this thing now, in case you get it, you can also wipe it!" ”

Shen Pomegranate had just finished smearing the medicine with both hands, so he could only make a surrender gesture and nodded.

Du Xuanmo saw that Shen Shimei couldn't do anything now, so he went to the bookstall to get a book, and said: "First of all, you also know some words, you should be able to understand it by looking at the picture, and ask me if you don't know the words." ”

"Hmm." Shen Shiliu nodded, and then went to read the book.

The book was the last time she read the miscellaneous book, but the page that Du Xuanmo helped her turn was exactly the last time she saw it.

Shen Shiliu looked at a page, although Du Xuanmo next to her was also reading, he could always help her turn the page at the most appropriate time, and after turning the page, he continued to read himself.

Shen Shimei secretly looked at Du Xuanmo's side face, Du Xuanmo was good-looking, she had long known that now that she looked at it, this side face killing was really the best.

Shen Shiliu frowned, and then a voice sounded in his heart: Oh no, it's a heart-warming feeling!

Shen Shimei's heart was moving, and when she turned around, she saw that Shen Shu was squinting at her, she was startled, and suddenly felt that this was a heart attack......
