Chapter Seventy-Eight: What Rice Is Cooked?
Shen Shiliu was also startled when she saw Shen Shu move, Shen Shu is usually gentle and steady, and she will only be so impulsive when she encounters her.
"Brother, why did you do it!" Shen Shiliu went to pull Shen Shu down, how could a scholar be so impulsive?
Shen Shu was angry: "What did you hear him say?" It's clear that I'm here to humiliate you! ”
Shen Shimei's imprisonment is a good thing done by the county master, their Shen family dares to be angry and dare not speak, this Sun Tianba even came to the door to mention this matter, is it still human?
Sun Tianba felt that he seemed to have been beaten all the time in the Shen family, just mentioning a family matter, why was he beaten again?
"Humiliation? I don't! "Sun Tianba looked very innocent, he was really innocent!
Father Shen said with some anger in his tone: "Young Master Sun, you better go, our small family is not worthy of the lintel of the county master!" ”
Shen Shiliu looked at Sun Tianba and couldn't say anything, this person really came to look for abuse, and now everyone in their family deliberately avoided this question, Sun Tianba is good, just say it so loudly, isn't this really lacking heart?
"Sun Dashao, it's not right for my brother to beat you, you better go first!" Shen Shiliu said, if Sun Tianba doesn't leave, this room will be kicked in a circle!
The family in the back was about to rush up just now, but he was blocked back by Sun Tianba, and now he really wants to do it, but he has really become a bully of men and women, he didn't come here for this!
"Okay, I'll go first today, and come back another day!" Sun Tianba said that when he walked to the door, there were already many people gathered around to watch the excitement.
The onlookers began to gossip, and they all felt that this laughing daughter of the Shen family was too uneasy, first she was unclear with the Du family's boy, and then she went to prison, and now she is still involved with people like Sun Tianba, she is really not an ordinary woman!
Shen Shimei had a headache, Sun Tianba was here to block their family, Shen's father's face was sad, Zheng didn't know what to say, so he could only sit and sigh, Shen Shimei looked at the situation and hurried back to the backyard to change his clothes, it is better to be low-key at this juncture.
Shen Pomegranate hid in the back kitchen after that, choosing vegetables in his hands, and the atmosphere in the front lobby was really bad.
Hong Xiuhua came in to help Shen Shimei, and then said, "Pomegranate, don't worry, if Sun Tianba dares to say any more bastard words, your brother and I will definitely not follow!" ”
Shen Shiliu barely squeezed out a smile: "I know, Sister Xiuhua doesn't have to worry about me, I'm really fine." She is not afraid of Sun Tianba's stupidity, but she feels that her current situation is really embarrassing and annoying to her family, and she is a little unhappy.
Hong Xiuhua said: "I have a distant relative in my family, not in Chaoxia Village, in another village, do you want to see ......?" She didn't want Shen Shiliu to delay her youth, so she really wouldn't marry.
"Nope." Shen Shiliu said directly.
Hong Xiuhua persuaded: "Pomegranate, you will be married next year, and if you don't discuss marriage, you will really become an old woman." ”
Shen Shiliu smiled bitterly: "It's only fifteen years old, where are you old?" "This is still the flower of the motherland!
"This is the custom here, I didn't marry your brother until I was sixteen, and it was left in other families." Hong Xiuhua persuaded.
Shen Shiliu still shook his head: "That's not enough, someone will come to marry me!" ”
Hong Xiuhua was speechless: "That Du Xuanmo?" ”
Shen Shiliu didn't nod or shake his head, Hong Xiuhua continued: "Sister Xiuhua looks at this matter is really hanging, now that people's identities are different, let alone look down on our small family, how old is he?" At that time, there will definitely be a lot of big and small officials vying to marry their daughters to him, so what will happen to us at that time? ”
When Shen Shiliu heard this, the movements in her hands stopped, what Hong Xiuhua said was indeed fine, even if she believed that Du Xuanmo was not a scumbag who would be negative, but in case the leader put pressure on her, it would not be easy to do!
"Pomegranate, pomegranate? Don't get distracted, this is the right thing! Hong Xiuhua said.
Shen Shiliu nodded: "I know it's a serious matter, and what you said is right, but I still want to see it." "If Du Xuanmo chooses someone else in the end, then she and Du Xuanmo will have a feud in this life!
In the afternoon, because of Sun Tianba's trouble, the county suddenly had a new topic to talk about, and the news spread far and wide, and soon everyone knew the news.
Du Xuanmo was also shocked by the news after working hard in the yamen for a few days, and went straight to the Shen family's restaurant without going home at noon.
Shen Shiliu was busy in the back kitchen, so Du Xuanmo went directly to the back kitchen.
"Pomegranate!" Du Xuanmo screamed, the weather was already hot, and the kitchen was as hot as the stove, and as soon as he came in, a stream of hot air rushed in.
Shen Shiliu heard what seemed to be Du Xuanmo's voice, and muttered: "It's really hot and dizzy, I'm hallucinating!" ”
"Pomegranate! It's me! Du Xuanmo screamed again, and Shen Shiliu realized that it was not his auditory hallucination, but that someone was really here.
"Why are you here?" Shen Shiliu wondered, Du Xuanmo rarely came to her at this time.
Du Xuanmo took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat on Shen Shimei's forehead first, and then said, "I have something important to ask you." ”
"What's the matter?" Shen Shiliu asked.
Du Xuanmo took the handkerchief and asked Shen Shiliu solemnly: "Is it true that Sun Tianba wants to marry you?" ”
Shen Shiliu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "That's it?" ”
Du Xuanmo nodded heavily: "This matter is extremely important!" ”
Shen Shiliu smiled, and then began to joke with Du Xuanmo: "It's true!" ”
Du Xuanmo began to be anxious, thinking that it was a rumor, but it turned out to be true.
"It's true!" Du Xuanmo was a little anxious, although the county master didn't dare to embarrass him, but the Shen family was different, if it was really difficult for the Shen family, unless the Shen family fled, they could only accept their fate.
Shen Shiliu said to Du Xuanmo: "What should I do?" If I don't agree, the county magistrate will put me in prison and serve me again, what should I do? ”
Du Xuanmo didn't notice what kind of expression Shen Shiliu had when he said this, and he was also anxious, and finally said: "I'll go back and prepare to prepare, and hurry up to propose!" "At that time, the county master will no longer make any moves, and Sun Tianba will not come to harass him anymore.
Shen Shiliu saw that Du Xuanmo was really serious about this matter, so he said: "This matter is actually ......" But before she could finish speaking, Du Xuanmo said: "Don't worry, I must be as soon as possible, I will go back first now, find a matchmaker first!" ”
After Du Xuanmo finished speaking, he hurriedly ran away, leaving Shen Shiliu stunned on the spot, and Hong Xiuhua next to him hurriedly said, "Will he really come to propose?" She thought that Du Xuanmo was the same as his mother, she looked down on the villagers, but she didn't expect that Shen Shimei was really so single-minded!
Shen Shiliu was stunned, although it was a good thing for Du Xuanmo to mention his relatives, but ......
"Daddy, what should I do?" Shen Shiliu felt that things would definitely not be so simple, his father and mother were still complaining about Du Xuanmo, and it was estimated that even if Du Xuanmo came to propose, he would be blasted out directly.
Hong Xiuhua also pondered this question, so she said, "Do you really want to marry Du Xuanmo?" ”
Shen Shiliu nodded, can you not want to, the good young man of ten miles and eight villages is Du Xuanmo, who doesn't want to marry? She has heard a lot of matchmakers come to the door to talk about matchmakers these days, but they are all blocked by Du Xuanmo!
"Daddy, I know what to do!" Shen Shiliu said, I thought that Sun Tianba's stupidity was here to stir up, but now that I look at it, it is a bit of a blessing!
Hong Xiuhua didn't know what method Shen Shimei had come up with, so she hurriedly persuaded: "But don't make your father and mother angry!" "Really stubborn, in the end, it is estimated that the Shen family and his wife will agree to marry Du Xuanmo, but there will be a gap in this family relationship.
"Don't worry, I know it!" Shen Shiliu said that she really didn't say much about the phrase "I know it in my heart" these days, and the people around her were a little worried about her, but she was always so reckless, which made her family even more worried.
Shen Shu saw it when Du Xuanmo left from Shen Shimei, but Du Xuanmo was in a hurry, and he was also a little curious.
"Pomegranate, menu." Du Xuanmo pressed the menu to the windowsill, and Shen Shiliu began to look at it.
Shen Shu looked at Hong Xiuhua, Hong Xiuhua understood, and said to Shen Shimei: "Pomegranate, I'll go drink saliva first, and I'll be back soon!" ”
"Go Sister Xiuhua, I can do it!" Shen Shiliu didn't think much about it, and continued to be busy with the work in his hands.
Hong Xiuhua followed Shen Shu out of the kitchen, and when she arrived in the backyard, Shen Shu asked, "Xiuhua, I saw that Du Xuanmo came just now, what did you say?" Did you hear that? ”
"Listen." Hong Xiuhua told Shen Shu what she heard, and when Shen Shu heard it, his frowning brows finally relaxed.
Shen Shu didn't believe it when Du Xuanmo said that he was still thinking about Shen Pomegranate, but now that he looks at it, this Du Xuanmo is sincere.
"Pomegranate said that he had an idea to make his father and mother nod, but did he have any idea?" Shen Shu asked.
Hong Xiuhua shook her head: "Pomegranate has a lot of ideas, it should be fine, she is sensible, she won't let her family worry!" ”
Although Shen Shu was worried, he could only nod and said, "I hope Shen Shimei doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, and don't do any stupid ways to cook raw rice in order to make my father and mother nod!" ”
"I'm also on the side to persuade you, you can rest assured." Hong Xiuhua said.
Hong Xiuhua hurriedly returned to the kitchen to help, chatting with Shen Shimei while working.
"Pomegranate, the method you said is not to cook raw rice into mature rice, right?" Hong Xiuhua asked as if unintentionally.
"Huh?" Shen Shiliu was directly asked and laughed, Hong Xiuhua's idea was too outrageous.
Shen Shimei's body is only fourteen years old, underage young teeth, and Du Xuanmo, even if she is willing to cook, Du Xuanmo, that little nerd, will definitely consider what etiquette and teachings, how can it be possible to cook raw rice?
"Sister Xiuhua, don't think about it, I really have a way!" Shen Shiliu said with a smile, and then whispered something in Hong Xiuhua's ear.
