Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Ashes of Death
Shen Shimei, who made clothes, gave it directly to Zheng, and while he was idle for a while, Shen Shimei went back to his room to sleep for a while, and woke up less than an hour later, feeling that the strength in his body had finally recovered.
"Why are you so tired lately, is it possible that you can't take a New Year's holiday to let yourself out of laziness?" Shen Shiliu muttered, he used to work all over his body from morning to night, but recently he always felt weak.
After the night was busy, Shen Pomegranate spread out on the bed, now no one wants to take her away from her bed, it used to be an iron body, but now it is a magnet bed, and it is uncomfortable to relax and move.
Suddenly, Shen Shiliu felt a pain in her lower abdomen, and there was a hot flow, a feeling that she had almost forgotten was suddenly awakened from the depths of her memory, and the fifteen-year-old Shen Shiliu suddenly remembered the fear of being dominated by her eldest aunt.
"I almost forgot about this stubble...... Shen Shiliu said, now that her body is fifteen years old, it was estimated that it was too fat hormone or something, so the eldest aunt didn't come, she still felt quite relaxed, how free it was to lose so many days a month!
Shen Pomegranate rummaged through the cabinets, but couldn't find anything like an "aunt's towel" to use, so he could only go to Zheng's in the end.
Zheng was mysteriously called out by Shen Pomegranate, and Zheng still wondered, didn't this kid say that he was tired, why did he still come out to hang around?
"What's wrong with Pomegranate?" Zheng asked, I don't know what happened to Shen Pomegranate.
Shen Shimei was hesitant, and he didn't know how to explain this thing in ancient times, so he could only say: "Mother, my butt is bleeding......"
Zheng Shi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Shen Pomegranate's appearance, and smiled: "It's from Guishui, right?" ”
"Yes." Shen Shiliu remembered that in ancient times, he called his aunt dehydration, but what should he do with this thing now?
Zheng went back to the room with a smile, and then took out something, and Shen Shimei looked at it, and his face turned green.
"There can't be any grass and wood ash in this thing......" Shen Pomegranate pointed to the thing in Zheng's hand, and just wanted to faint for a while!
I used to hear that the ancients used plant ash or something, and she felt that it was completely unimaginable to put plant ash under her crotch, but today the reality is in front of her, and she feels a pain in her brain!
"You know! I haven't used this one after sewing, you use it first, and I'll sew you two more tomorrow! Zheng remembered something as he spoke, and instructed Shen Shimei: "You can also put the dirty pants, and tomorrow my mother will wash you, you can't touch the cold water!" ”
Zheng stuffed the "classical aunt towel" in his hand into Shen Shimei's hand, and Shen Shimei pinched it with a shocked face and went back to the room first.
"No, no, it's too unhygienic, it's a gynecological disease if it's small, and if it's serious, it's cancer?" Shen Shimei shook his head, but if he didn't deal with it below, it would be "a river of blood"!
Shen Shiliu gritted his teeth at the end, and threw aside the death-like grass and wood ash aunt towel, the cotton left over from making clothes at home was still clean, so let's deal with it first......
Shen Shimei didn't sleep well all night, for fear that he would be domineering and leaking, so he didn't even pull the cart early the next morning, and went directly to the market.
"Give me two catties of cotton, and this cotton cloth, if you want a red one, give me two feet!" Shen Shimei said that he had to make some aunt towels today, he didn't sleep well all night, and when he closed his eyes, he could see his aunt towels made of grass and wood ash floating in front of his eyes.
After Shen Pomegranate bought cotton and red cloth, he hurried home, Hong Yi and Zheng Erzhu pulled the cart, and when they saw Shen Pomegranate in a hurry, they asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Shen Shiliu didn't care about what to say, and ran back first after shouting that there was something urgent.
When he got home, Shen Pomegranate found a laughing iron pot in the kitchen, bought it before, and had not used it yet, so he directly used a small stove to boil water, boiled all the cotton and cotton cloth with boiling water, and then dried it with fire and ran back to the house, and the embroidery needle in his hand was so fast that he caught up with the undefeated Dongfang, and finally sewed out a reliable "aunt towel".
"Whew!" Shen Shiliu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had a sense of steadiness.
Zheng came over at this time, taking Hong Xiuhua with her, Hong Xiuhua was still holding boiled brown sugar ginger tea in her hand, with a smile on her face.
"I'll be a big girl from now on, I can't catch a cold, I can't be in a hurry!" Zheng said.
Hong Xiuhua poured ginger tea for Shen Pomegranate, and Shen Pomegranate's decay water came, which means that he can get married.
"Your birthday is almost here, and when your birthday is over, ask the Du family what they think." Zheng said that no matter how capable her daughter is, she also hopes that her daughter will get married and have children and live a stable life.
Shen Shiliu shook his head: "There is no hurry to get married, Du Xuanmo is now boiling up his qualifications, he is very busy, and I am also thinking about making the restaurant bigger!" ”
Zheng was disgusted: "The restaurant is big enough, do you really want to open a branch or something?" ”、
"Yes, the restaurant here is run by my brother and sister-in-law, my father and mother will support my old age in the future, and my brother and sister-in-law's livelihood will not worry, I will get another branch, and I will have something to do in the future, I can't be idle!" Shen Shiliu said.
Zheng smiled bitterly: "You can calculate!" "Their family originally wanted Shen Pomegranate to be a steaming restaurant, and they would give Shen Pomegranate as a dowry in the future, but now that their son has also married a wife, if Shen Shimei really wants to open a branch, the life in this family will not be tight.
Shen Shiliu pondered that she couldn't open a branch anyway, and she couldn't do anything without the help of her family, even if this restaurant was so big now, she was just worried about it, and the credit was everyone's, she was still young, so she naturally had to work hard while she was young.
Shen Shimei's waist and knees are sore now, and he has no energy when he leans on the side of the bed.
"I'll do less today, and my sister-in-law will rely on you!" Shen Pomegranate said with a dead voice.
Hong Xiuhua smiled: "Don't worry, I also brought it out by you, you can just look at it!" "Shen Pomegranate must have all kinds of discomfort when he comes back, and it will be good to get used to it.
When he was busy at noon, Shen Pomegranate was not too tired, Hong Xiuhua on the stove was the main force, and Shen Pomegranate sometimes reminded him a few words on the side, and this noon was a thrilling one.
"It's all right, you can go back and lie down for a while!" Hong Xiuhua brushed the dishes and chopsticks.
Shen Shiliu pondered that he couldn't be too squeamish just because he came to his aunt, and he couldn't do heavy work to brush a bowl, so fortunately, he boiled a big pot of hot water and brushed the dishes with Hong Xiuhua.
"Isn't it better? I still don't look good at you! Hong Xiuhua was a little worried.
Shen Shiliu shook his head: "It's okay, it's just a little backache, it's okay to brush the dishes, why are women so bad!" "I feel that the "species" of women has been in trouble since birth, leaving blood once a month, and every time I feel that I am going to die, I can't die in the end, and it is impossible to be free......
At night, Shen Shiliu lay on the bed, looking fifteen years old, and after waiting for the Zheng family to tell about the marriage, she was also worried, she was still very "young-toothed"......
After a night, Shen Shiliu finally felt a little strength in his body, although he was still a little weak, but it was much better than yesterday. Hong Xiuhua still brought a bowl of ginger tea, and after Shen Pomegranate drank it, she felt that her body was no longer swishing cold.
"I'm going to buy vegetables, my sister-in-law and my mother will make breakfast first." Shen Pomegranate put down the bowl and went out.
Yesterday's food was bought by Hong Yi and Zheng Erzhu, Hong Yi has some experience, and there is no problem with buying it back, Shen Shiliu pondered that it was troublesome to come out to buy vegetables like this, and after trying it today, let the vegetable seller send the food directly to the store.
"Boss Wu, can you deliver this dish to my store? I want more! Shen Shiliu asked.
Boss Wu is the brother-in-law of the boss who sells cloth, and hurriedly agreed: "Cheng, what kind of food do you want?" ”
Shen Shiliu looked at Boss Wu's stall, picked a few, and then listened to Boss Wu's offer to her.
"Okay, you can send it to me directly in the morning, and then when you pass by my door when you leave in the evening, I will tell you the dishes you want the next day." Shen Shiliu said.
Boss Wu nodded, it turned out that Shen pomegranates were all vegetables from several families, although the price he gave this time was not high, but the Shen family wanted a lot of money, and he sold more violently, so as not to spoil the vegetables and not sell them.
Shen Shiliu walked a few houses, all of them were people who bought vegetables and meat on weekdays, because they were all old customers, and some of them would pass by the door of Shen's house, and they all agreed to deliver food.
"The food is fresh, I'll pick it!" Shen Shimei's door-to-door boss said, everyone also agreed, Shen Shimei's eyes are sharp when buying vegetables, it's not easy to fool!
After a busy morning, Shen Shimei and the three of them went back with today's dishes first, why didn't she think of letting people deliver the dishes before, she thought that it would not be light soon!
"In the future, I will save the effort of buying groceries." Shen Shiliu went home and told her about delivering food, and she would be able to lie down for a while in the morning.
After breakfast, everyone began to get busy, and Shen Pomegranate himself withdrew from the ranks of washing vegetables, and it was better to touch less cold water.
The people from the post house came to deliver the letter, Shen Shiliu went to pick it up, and Du Xuanmo came with another letter.
In his heart, Du Xuanmo told Han Shuliang about his going, and the matter of collecting grain was also settled, and before the autumn harvest this year, the grain in Fengyang County would be purchased from outside.
"It's a good deal." Shen Shiliu said that at first, she was worried that there would be any kickbacks or something about the grain collection at the Yamen of Fengyang County, and if Du Xuanmo directly collected the grain, it would not block the way of other people's wealth, but now that she looks at it, she is much more relieved.
Du Xuanmo on the other end is indeed busy, and he can't catch his breath during the New Year, the more difficult it is to celebrate the New Year, if the people's food can't keep up, maybe there will be some kind of chaos. After the year, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Du Xuanmo took the time to write a letter to Shen Shiliu to report his safety.
"Son, let's eat, I'm so busy every day that I don't have time to eat, how can my body stand it like this?" Du Niangzi felt sorry for Du Xuanmo, Du Xuanmo could still cook in the past, but now she is so busy that she can't eat, so she will take over all the cooking work, don't say if it's delicious or not, just cook it anyway.
"Okay, mother, you put it first, I'll be done right away." Du Xuanmo said that the weather was still a little cold, but he was so busy that he was sweating, and when he wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, he remembered Shen Pomegranate.
"The pomegranate's salute is coming soon." Du Xuanmo muttered, and his mind followed to Anyang County.
