Chapter 43: Someone from Shen's hometown
The garden of the Shen family's house, after several years of care, has changed greatly, with fruit trees and flowers of all colors.
In the afternoon, Shen Xingwan sat in a rocking chair, holding a fan in his left hand, a book in his right hand, and a few delicate and small snacks on the small table next to him.
The fat meow, who has gained a lot of weight, jumps around in the garden and flutters butterflies.
The whole courtyard was silent, and it was not quiet.
Because Shen Yu was preparing for the exam, during this time, the family even lowered the footsteps more softly.
Until a sound of footsteps disturbed the calm in the garden, "Third master, please." ”
It was the voice of Banxia, Shen Xingwan opened his eyes, and a pair of eyes flashed with spirit.
Shen Xingwan was startled, and immediately recognized the person in front of him, who was Shen Li, who successfully helped them break up.
immediately stood up and said hello, "Hello third grandfather." ”
Shen Li still looked like a fairy wind bone, nodded and said lightly, "It's late, I've grown into a beautiful big girl." ”
Zhou and Shen Tang were not at home.
Zhang and Shen Tang were not at home, and Shen Xingwan asked Banxia to call someone, and at the same time personally introduced Shen Li into the living room, and personally served tea to the third master.
Shen Li watched her move smoothly throughout the whole process, generous and confident, with an appreciative look in her eyes.
"It's really this year's new tea, the third grandfather tastes it."
Shen Xingwan was talking while guessing the purpose of this rarely appearing third grandfather coming this time.
Fortunately, Shen Tang came back soon.
"Why didn't the third uncle say hello in advance when he was coming, my nephew was sluggish." Shen Tang made amends as soon as he entered the door.
Shen Li waved his hand indifferently, "I suddenly came to the door because I wanted to discuss something with you." ”
Shen Tang immediately said to Shen Xingwan, "Go to the study to see your brother, how is the progress of Wen Shu." ”
Obviously supporting her, Shen Xingwan withdrew from the door and went to talk to Shen Yu.
This mysterious third grandfather had been talking with Shen Tang for more than an hour, refused Shen Tang's retention, and left without eating.
Shen Xingwan hugged Fat Meow, stood on the steps of the garden, and squinted his eyes, "I always feel that the old fox looked at me before he left has another meaning. ”
"Really? I see that you have a problem with everyone you see in a day? Fat Meow said lazily, after getting along all these years, no one knows better than him, Shen Xingwan is simply full of heart.
Shen Xingwan was going to inquire about it, but this third grandfather suddenly appeared and had something, but she didn't expect Shen Tang to give her a chance at all.
"I'll pick up your mother and leave first."
"Look, I'm not right." Shen Xingwan stared at Shen Tang's somewhat anxious back.
Zhang's and Zhou's stalls have made some reputation, and the business is booming, and the two of them gritted their teeth and opened a snack restaurant together a year ago.
Specializing in cold skin and cold noodles, braised meat and vegetables, all kinds of seasonal snacks, has always been very popular with the town residents, do not want to cook or when the guests come to the house, pack a copy back, convenient and convenient.
Dinner was made by a mother-in-law hired by the family, and now everyone in the family has their own affairs, so they simply hired a mother-in-law to do chores.
Shen Yu read a book for a day, and only came out of the study in the evening, and as soon as he went out, he saw the beautiful scenery of the sunset, and Shen Xingwan fell asleep on the chair.
"Young master, the meal is ready." The mother-in-law smiled and walked over to report.
"Grandma will go back first, and we will have dinner when my father and mother come back." Shen Yu said softly.
The mother-in-law answered, and left quickly. She is a person from a small town, has her own residence, and comes to work for half a day and cook dinner every day.
Shen Yu looked at Shen Xingwan's little face and blushed, and it was rare to have fun.
He squatted down and reached out to pinch Shen Xingwan's nose with a wicked look.
Shen Xingwan, who was having difficulty breathing, was quickly awakened, and subconsciously waved his hand to hit someone, and was held by Shen Yu, "The little lazy pig got up to eat." ”
Shen Xingwan glared at her in a daze, she found that the eldest brother who looked clear and sunny was actually white and black.
Shen Tang and Zhang also returned, and as soon as they came back, they saw the two brothers and sisters making trouble in the garden.
Shen Xiaoguo was the last to come back, and they all said that half a dozen children ate the poor, and as soon as they came back, they rushed to the dining room, "Is dinner ready, I'm starving." ”
"Are you not hungry any day?" Shen Xingwan couldn't help but laugh at him.
Shen Xiaoguo patted his empty stomach and shouted while washing his hands, "Sister, I want to eat the fruit ice powder you made." ”
"Got it, glutton."
Shen Xingwan walked to the courtyard behind, although their family is now considered a little rich, there is still a refusal to use the ice that can be used.
Fortunately, the well that comes with the yard puts the food in the hanging basket, and when it falls in the well, it is pulled up after a period of time, and it has a cold feeling.
Shen Yu chased after him, "I'll pull it." ”
Shen Yu quickly pulled up the hanging basket in the well, and Shen Xingwan opened it, and there was ice powder she had mixed by herself, which was crystal clear, with the flavor of brown sugar, as well as mash and fruit.
"My sister's craftsmanship is really good, and I have a great appetite when I look at it." Shen Yu praised.
Shen Xingwan raised her head arrogantly, "Serve it, go back to dinner!" ”
This is a dessert after dinner, and the family has eaten with He Meimei first and cleaned up the table.
Then a small wooden table was set up in the courtyard, and Shen Xiaoguo looked at Shen Xingwan with blank eyes, "Sister? ”
Shen Xingwan has always been very disciplined, such as washing hands when eating, for example, snacks and fruits can only be eaten after meals, Shen Xiaoguo is used to listening to her.
Shen Xingwan lifted the basket and gave him a bowl of his favorite fruit-flavored one, "Eat." ”
"Thank you, sister." Shen Xiaoguo couldn't wait to scoop a spoonful.
Soon Zhang and Shen Tang also came, and the family ate ice powder while blowing the evening breeze.
Now is a good time, Shen Xingwan took a bite and asked, "Dad, what is the reason why the third grandfather came here today?" ”
Shen Tang just wanted to speak, and there was a knock on the door.
Banxia, who was sitting on the side, was the first to stand up, "I'll go open the door." ”
She is now in the Shen family, mainly helping Shen Xingwan manage the two shops, and she is more like a big steward than a maid.
After a while, Banxia's face was not very good, and he came in with a few mothers-in-law, and Banxia automatically appeared behind Shen Xingwan.
Shen Xingwan slowly put the spoon in his hand, raised his eyes and looked over, and Mother Jin, who was dressed very magnificently, felt oppressive for a moment.
The situation was a little weird for a moment, Shen Xingwan didn't speak, and no one spoke.
Or Shen Xiaoguo said with a big grin, "Who are you, what are you doing at my house?" ”
Mother Jin didn't even give a gift, and said with a smile, "I am from the old lady's house of the Su family, and the Hou Ye in the capital sent something over, and the eldest lady specially brought something for you." ”
Oh, sure enough, it is the haunting Su Jingyi, she remembers that there are no such plots in the original book.
Zhang's dry answer, "The child has a heart." ”
