In the end, there were only two side dishes and a small pot of soup on the table, which was not rich, but it smelled very good.

The soup is made by cutting the Tianluo gourd into pieces, and the other is a cold dish made by blanching the tips of the Tianluo vines in hot water.

The rest is the egg custard left over by Shen Shangluo yesterday, although it is cold, but the taste is also extremely fresh and beautiful.

At the dinner table, Shen Shangluo and Li Qinglan didn't say a word, eating the things in the bowl by themselves.

I only heard Xu Xiufang digging out the contents of the bowl, so she put the bowl down and rubbed her mouth with a big grin.

Shen Shangluo lowered his head and ignored it, just frowned slightly, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"Shang Luo, I'm here to tell you something, you have to listen well."

Hearing this, Shen Shangluo had no choice but to put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand gently, and said coldly: "I don't know what grandma wants to say?" ”

What can she say, it's just that she can't talk about how tired her uncle and uncle are, and if she marries earlier, she shouldn't hear it every time.

Xu Xiufang slowly took out the bamboo basket she brought from under the table, and handed the things wrapped in red cloth to Shen Shangluo.

I don't know what this thing is, Shen Shangluo opened it by himself, but a trace of bad premonition appeared in his heart.

It is said to be a paperwork, but in fact, it is a piece of red cardboard folded and surrounded by a red cloth.

When he opened it, the handwriting inside came into view, and Li Qinglan leaned over to Shen Shangluo to look at it while eating.

She was illiterate, but there was an old gentleman in Yunwu Village, who was said to be Shen's father's husband, and he sometimes taught the children in the village to read.

But half-grown children have a lot of playfulness, and they don't know what the use of these texts and ink is. Even if the parents forcibly send the child to the old gentleman, it is estimated that they will not learn much.

Although the people in the village hope that the child can get the opportunity to go to Beijing like Shen's father, it is okay to find an elegant job without seeking to be appreciated by the dignitaries and nobles.

It's just that half-grown children don't know what the so-called reading is, it's just something boring and boring.

Li Qinglan is naturally the same, but she knows Shen Shangluo's name, and this is what Shen Shangluo patiently taught her.

When she saw the three words Shen Shangluo written in a vigorous and powerful font on the red paper, the action of eating was also a slight meal.

How could she not know this thing, the big golden characters on the red cover are particularly conspicuous, and they also look particularly hot.

Then he squinted his eyes and couldn't help but exclaim, "You want Luo Luo to marry a cripple?!" ”

In Li Qinglan's exclamation, Shen Shangluo was also surprised, this was clearly his own marriage letter!

Her face was a little pale, and her fingers couldn't help but clench the tissue paper in her hand slightly.

It is clearly written in it that he was married to An Sheng by Xu Xiufang, and An Sheng grew up with Shen Shangluo since he was a child, and he can be regarded as a childhood sweetheart.

But after the two grew up a little, An Sheng was taken by his father to live on the other side of the village, and the intersection between the two became less after that.

When An Sheng went into the mountains to hunt with people the year before last, he was accidentally injured by a black blind man, and although he was cured, his right hand was unable to use his strength.

Shen Shangluo's fingers turned slightly white, and she had a cold face, "Qinglan, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Brother An Sheng is just injured, how can he be said to be disabled?

Li Qinglan knew what Shen Shangluo meant, and bit her lip slightly, she was too anxious, she didn't mean that......

It seemed that she was worried that Shen Shangluo would tear up the marriage book, Xu Xiufang hurriedly snatched the thing back and patted it like a baby.

Shen Shangluo couldn't tell his mood now, he only felt angry, he really deceived himself as an orphan girl, and he actually sent the marriage letter directly to him.

I thought that my relatives didn't care about me, and they could live a peaceful life, but they didn't think about it, they really didn't want to give themselves a good life.

Li Qinglan was also indignant, her temper could no longer be suppressed, and she slapped the bowl directly on the table, "Granny Xu, it's inappropriate for you to do this!" Who did Lolo marry, and when did you call the shots? ”

At least this matter should be Luo Luo's own decision!

Xu Xiufang, who had been ignoring Li Qinglan, actually began to get angry for the sake of her own dignity.

"What do you know about this little girl? Since ancient times, the marriage of children has been the order of the matchmaker's parents, and Shangluo's elders are me, why can't I arrange it? ”

seemed to feel that she was not happy to speak, and she glared at Li Qinglan viciously, "If you touch like this again, be careful that I will throw you out!" ”

Being so frightened by Xu Xiufang, even if Li Qinglan wanted to vent her anger for Shen Shangluo, she was still relieved, but she lowered her head but didn't dare to say anything more.

After all, she is just a child, how can she be as rigid as Shen Shangluo? Although he has been learning Shen Shangluo, it is different after all.

Shen Shangluo patted the back of Li Qinglan's hand gently, "You go back first, you didn't tell your mother when you ran out early in the morning, right?" Presumably she's still waiting for you to eat, so go back first. ”

"But ......"

In the end, under Shen Shangluo's appeasement, Li Qinglan still left.

Xu Xiufang's face was smug, she slowed down her tone, and let herself try her best to look like a kind elder.

"Shang Luo, although An Sheng is indeed inconvenient, but he has a rich family, and he has been interested in you since he was a child, after you passed, the two of them will live a good life, and they will not have to worry about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in this life, nor do they have to worry about eating and drinking, and it is easier to have a man in the family, isn't it?"

Seeing that Shen Shangluo's face was expressionless, Xu Xiufang still persuaded with good words.

"An Sheng is also a strong guy, after you get married, you don't have to work so hard to make a living, just give birth to a baby, just leave everything to him, and grandma is also for your good."

After that, a few cat tears squeezed out of the corners of her eyes, as if she felt miserable and distressed for Shen Shangluo's situation.

"Grandma is also distressed, pity you have lost your father and mother so early, and there is no one to take care of you living here alone, alas, my poor son, it is really a blessing, obviously it is okay...... Alas—"

Shen Shangluo was still expressionless, and said coldly: "Why did my father come back, grandma, you should know better than anyone else, right?" ”

At the beginning, Shen's father was bent on gaining fame and wanted to leave this wild mountain early, but Xu Xiufang refused.

I don't know all kinds of thoughts, she actually begged someone to bring the news to force Shen's father to come back, and said that Shen's father was a loser or an unfilial son.

In the end, when Shen's father married Shen's mother, Xu Xiufang even wanted Shen's father to come from a single family, so he only got a few thatched houses here.

The other Jiatian were all divided by the two brothers, and even the eldest sister who married to the side village also got some.

Only Shen's father didn't have anything, and the few acres of thin fields owned by Shen Shangluo now were all cultivated by Shen's father and Shen's mother, who was older, with their hands at that time.

The thatched hut used to leak frequently, and when the weather was stormy, it was a howl of ghosts and wolves, and it was even colder in winter.

Now everything that Shen Shangluo has is what Shen's father and Shen's mother have worked hard for most of their lives, Xu Xiufang still has the face to say this?

The more Shen Shangluo thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, she was deeply unworthy for Shen's father, she knew that Shen's father should not come back, even if she was never born, she didn't want her father to suffer like that.

In the end, he let go of his emotions, and Shen Shangluo asked: "If I get married, won't everything in my family be wasted?" It's still not right. ”

Who knew that Xu Xiufang did not shy away from it at all, waved her big hand, and had an uncontrollable smile on her face.

"Even if you are already married, these things will naturally be left behind, so it is better to give them to your two uncles."

After speaking, she still sighed helplessly, as if she had been greatly wronged.

"It's not easy for your two uncles to raise four children, you also know that your younger brother is young and still has to study, and so is your eldest brother, who has to ask for money from the family when he goes out, and the two sisters are not married yet, which is really difficult."

Knowing that whatever he said was useless, Shen Shangluo suppressed his temper, "You accepted the dowry?" ”

Shen Shangluo, who asked this sentence, was already obviously angry, she knew her grandmother's temperament, but she didn't expect that she would not be able to look at herself so quickly?

Xu Xiufang's face was full of displeasure, and she said reproachfully: "Naturally, I accepted it, and the dowry will naturally be sent together with this letter of appointment, don't worry, grandma will prepare a dowry for you!" ”

How could the two uncles be so difficult? Isn't he young? I'm still a kid, and I'm just a few months older than my cousin!

She actually ......

Taking a deep breath, Shen Shangluo stood up and cleaned up the mess on the table, "That's it, grandma will leave quickly, and I will go out to work today, so I won't send it." ”

Seeing Shen Shangluo driving himself, Xu Xiufang was not angry, but just stood up with the basket, walked to the stove and picked up the kitchen knife.

"You can't use so much food ointment alone, it just so happens that your brother has been arguing about getting meat recently, I'll take half of it, so you don't bother to deal with it as a girl."

Seeing Xu Xiufang cut off most of it with a knife in her hand and put it into her basket, Shen Shangluo was laughed at for a while.

Seeing Xu Xiufang walk out beautifully, Shen Shangluo didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while.

In the end, he overturned everything on the table at once, and the whole person sat weakly in front of the table.

No wonder Father Shen has always wanted to leave, if it weren't for Mother Shen and himself, Father Shen would have lived well......

A feeling of weakness and coldness began to spread in his body, and Shen Shangluo finally couldn't help but bury his face in his arms and cry.

The grievances in the sky were overwhelmingly smashed towards Shen Shangluo, and his whole body was so cold that it seemed to be falling a little bit.

This world is too bitter, but Shen Shangluo came up with an idea: he should always stand up for his father!
