When I left Uncle Zheng's house, it was almost dark, and Zheng and Liang reluctantly said a few words, and the family returned to the county seat.

Before closing the city gate, the Shen family returned home, and there were very few pedestrians on the street.

Shen Pomegranate still recognizes the "holiday" of this era, and the New Year is really a New Year, compared with the current system of giving seven or eight days off or even going to work in the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it is much more rational.

"After that, let's have a good rest, and when the fifteenth arrives, we will be busy again." Zheng said that he has been busy since the beginning of the year, and now he can finally take a good breath.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Pomegranate had a rare lazy sleep, lying in the warm quilt on the bed, and it would be more perfect if he could play with a mobile phone in his hand.

Zheng opened the door at this time, and the door came in, and said, "Get up quickly, your aunt is here!" After saying that, he grabbed his hair and went to clean up first.

Shen Shiliu was stunned, she had forgotten about Aunt Shen.

After getting dressed, Shen Shiliu went to his father's room. Shen Shu and Hong Xiuhua were already standing on the side, seeing that Shen Pomegranate was coming, Shen Shu's expression was still a little helpless.

For this sister-in-law Shen Cuilian, Shen Shimei doesn't like it very much, this sister-in-law is too mercenary, and she is more similar to Mrs. Zhang.

"Sister-in-law." After Shen Shiliu called someone, he went with Shen Shu and Hong Xiuhua.

When Shen Cuilian came last time, Shen Pomegranate was still the image of a sow insect, and when she saw Shen Pomegranate this time, she was so shocked that she jumped up directly, and she looked like Shen Pomegranate was endless.

"Oops, it's been a long time since I've been watching? Pomegranates are so beautiful! Shen Cuilian sighed.

Shen Shiliu smiled and didn't say anything, she had seen a lot of this reaction and got used to it.

Shen Cuilian didn't come empty-handed this time, after all, it was the New Year, and it was impossible to go to relatives empty-handed.

"Sister-in-law, your family is really amazing, you still live in such a dilapidated house, and now you have lived in such a good house!" Shen Cuilian looked at it as she spoke, although there were any decorations in the room, it was spacious and transparent, and her heart was also bright when she looked at it.

Zheng Shi smiled lightly: "Life is only slightly better." ”

Shen Cuilian sat down and said, "Sister-in-law, you are really blessed, if you don't marry my brother, how can you have such a good life!" ”

Father Shen coughed lightly on the side, this good day really has little to do with him.

Zheng remembered something, so he said, "How did my sister-in-law find this?" They didn't catch anyone when they moved, wondering how Shen Cuilian knew about this place.

Shen Cuilian waved her hand: "Didn't I go to your old house last time when the big tree got married, and I also heard from others!" ”

Zheng sighed, and Shen's father asked, "Why did you come by yourself?" What about my brother-in-law and children? ”

"Don't mention them, I said to come and see, they stopped me, I said bring some things and they let me go out!" Shen Cuilian said with a dissatisfied face.

Shen's father smiled helplessly, it seems that his brother-in-law is afraid that Shen Cuilian will come, and he will not come for fear of losing face.

Zheng asked, "Sister-in-law, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" We were tired a few days ago, and we didn't get up today, so if you know you're coming, we'll prepare early. Zheng is also a little embarrassed, although Shen Cuilian has something to do, but she always comes to pay New Year's greetings with something, and she has to entertain her well.

Shen Cuilian nodded: "It's not that I haven't eaten, I heard that your family has a restaurant, and there must be no shortage of my two mouthfuls to eat!" ”

Shen Shiliu smiled lightly, and then went to the kitchen to get busy.

There are still a lot of New Year's goods at home, even if you don't prepare in advance, you can clean up and put it in the pot quickly.

Shen Pomegranate didn't have any appetite in the morning, but the guests at home couldn't always eat vegetarian, so they made four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetarian dishes, and the soup was made of shrimp, and the taste was fresh.

Hong Xiuhua came over to help and asked, "What's wrong with this sister-in-law?" I don't think you like your brother or you? ”

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that my sister-in-law is a little willful, and she only cares about the present, not the future." Shen Shimei couldn't say anything, after all, it was his own family, and if he buried it directly in front of Hong Xiuhua, his face would be dull.

Hong Xiuhua nodded, thinking about how to get by, anyway, Shen Shu has a sense of what is going on at home, and Shen Shu can just do what she says.

As soon as the meal was served, Shen Cuilian's saliva flowed out, and she said with a sigh: "This dish is really better than what my family eats for the New Year!" Your family is much better than mine these days! ”

Father Shen smiled bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart that you Shen Cuilian didn't bother to help the oil bottle at home, and she didn't calculate her life, and the family relied on her brother-in-law and nephew to support her, how much better could life be?

A group of people made a table, and the steamed rice cakes made by Shen Pomegranate in the morning were just vegetarian dishes, and the meat dishes were really uneatable.

"Why don't you eat it?" Shen Cuilian asked, seeing that the people at the table didn't move their chopsticks much, she was a little embarrassed to eat Haisai alone.

Father Shen snorted: "Just eat yours, we're not too hungry." ”

Shen Cuilian smiled, and the chunks rose.

After eating, it was actually almost noon, Shen Pomegranate went to the back kitchen to cook some rock sugar hawthorn, I have eaten a lot in the past few days, and I have lost my appetite and has a little indigestion.

The restaurant was officially opened on the sixteenth day of the first month, and there was no charcoal basin in the lobby, and Shen Shimei wore a big cotton jacket and held a bowl of hawthorn juice and sat in the lobby to drink, where it was quiet.

Someone pushed the door open, Shen Shiliu turned his eyes and looked, happy, it was Liu Zhaodi.

"Why are you here?" Shen Shiliu asked.

Although Liu Zhaodi's previous approach was lacking in morality, there was no way to force it, and since Shen Shiliu had already found a way to help her, she would no longer remember that little pickled thing.

Liu Zhaodi came in and sat opposite Shen Shimei, and said, "The young master is idle and shopping on the street, so I will come out secretly." ”

"Shopping on the street at this time? I guess no one bullied him on the street, right? Shen Shiliu said teasing words.

Liu Zhaodi smiled, and Shen Shiliu saw that Liu Zhaodi was smiling brightly, so he asked, "Is your father going to sell you again later?" ”

Liu Zhaodi shook his head: "No, my father and mother came twice, and they were beaten out by the young master, and I gave them my monthly money every month, and they didn't come anymore." ”

Shen Shiliu nodded: "That's fine, it doesn't take the risk of throwing you to Sun Tianba in vain!" ”

Liu Zhaodi sneered: "Pomegranate, I'm sorry for you, you are willing to help me later, I really thank you!" ”

Shen Shiliu hurriedly said: "You don't have to thank me, I don't want to help you, you don't want to be upset, don't hurt me!" "Brother Liu Zhaodi, this chick has an idea in her heart, she is still bold, and she will be a character in the future!

Liu Zhaodi hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't dare, really don't dare!" "In this case, if she wants to harm Shen Pomegranate again, it will be livestock!

Shen Shiliu smiled and asked Brother Liu Zhao: "Is it difficult for Sun Dashao to be for you?" Although that person has been a child all day, I don't think he has any bad intentions, and he shouldn't be able to do anything to abuse the maid. ”

Liu Zhaodi sighed: "At first, I was scared when you threw me at him, but then he helped me drive my father and mother away, so I felt that this person should be a warm-hearted person, but he just looked fierce." ”

Shen Shiliu laughed: "It's not bad, he has also done a good thing!" ”

As the two were talking, there was a coughing sound outside the door, Shen Pomegranate listened, got up and walked to the window, as soon as the window was opened, there was a "bell", Shen Pomegranate felt as if he had hit something!

"Who?" Shen Shiliu asked, the person is still behind the window, and she hasn't seen the face yet!

"Who else could it be!" Sun Tianba walked from behind the window with an impatient face, he saw Liu Zhaodi sneaking to Shen Shimei, he wanted to listen to the song in the corner, and he coughed lightly twice later, and he also pondered that eavesdropping was not good, not to mention that the people inside also "praised" him, but Shen Shimei did not go out of the door, but opened the window, knocking him into this pain!

Shen Shiliu looked at Sun Tianba covering the back of his head with a resentful face, and laughed: "Didn't you say that you were sick, hide from the root of the wall and kowtow your head, you deserve it!" ”

Su Tianba, who was mercilessly ridiculed by Shen Shimei, was angry in his heart, but after all, he overheard it wrong, so he didn't have a seizure.

"My maid sneaked away from you, right?" Sun Tianba found a reason, he had been locked up in the mansion by the old lady before, and now that it was the New Year, there was no one in the yamen, and the family members in the mansion could also visit relatives, and no one could care about him when he came out.

"Here, come in!" Shen Shiliu opened the door and asked Sun Tianba to come over.

The lobby was empty, different from the past, Sun Tianba came in and found a place to sit, looked at the hawthorn juice that Shen Pomegranate hadn't finished drinking, and said, "Don't you give you a cup of tea?" ”

Shen Shiliu rolled her eyes, this Sun Tianba is self-cooked, although she knows that Sun Tianba is a troublesome person, but after all, this person is not bad, and he is the grandson of the county master, so it is not a big deal to give a cup of tea.

Shen Shiliu went to the back kitchen to build tea and brought it over, and brought some pastries and dried fruits, and a bowl of hawthorn juice for one person.

"It's as if you two are here to greet me!" Shen Shiliu said to the two.

Sun Tianba saw that Shen Shimei was so "sensible" this time, so he smiled and said: "I helped you raise such a maid, just thank me!" ”

Shen Pomegranate was puzzled, so he asked, "Can you eat it?" She doesn't seem to have much to eat! ”

Sun Tianba pursed his lips and sneered: "Not much? One person has the amount of food for two strong men! It's a shame that our family doesn't lack such two mouthfuls of food, or who can afford it? ”

Shen Shiliu looked at Liu Zhaodi in amazement, she didn't eat much when she was a helper. Looking at Liu Zhaodi's embarrassed appearance again, Shen Shiliu knew that Liu Zhaodi deliberately pretended to eat less, probably because he was afraid that she would drive people away.

"It's okay, is your Sun family an ordinary family? If you have a big family and a big business, you can't eat poorly! Shen Shiliu pushed the pastry in front of him to Sun Tianba as he spoke, after all, Liu Zhaodi's "rice bucket" was the trouble she gave Sun Tianba......

Sun Tianba smiled, and said while eating melon seeds: "Du Xuanmo is gone now, I see that you are also a lot more honest, you are so soft, won't you save the old trouble?" ”

"Huh? Did someone just say something? Shen Shiliu knew that Sun Tianba's old mistake had been committed again, so he pretended to pick up the stove hook, which scared Sun Tianba all of a sudden.
