Chapter 7 Ask the patriarch for a house and land
After taking a shower and returning to the cave, the Ji Xun brothers hadn't returned yet, Shen Yu took a basin of well water into the space, and poured a round of water on the cabbage, anyway, I don't want money, it doesn't matter if it grows or not.
The next morning, Shen Yuyu woke up and still heard the sound of practicing kung fu outside the cave.
When I washed my face, I found that the water tank was full, Ji Xun's leg was injured, and I don't know how much it hurt to press on such a heavy burden, Shen Yuyan decided that Ming'er must get up early, and she would come to carry water.
For breakfast, I had ramen, which was made with leftover broth from the previous night, not to mention how delicious it was.
Ji Feng, this little guy, is also a full sycophant, a sister-in-law of the god of food, who has to help wash the dishes, saying that the sister-in-law has worked hard.
The little friends who had just made a pair of small hands oily came to the door, and hooked Ji Feng out by probing their brains at the entrance of the cave, and the half-grown children ran to the village like a herd of bison.
The little guy is actually quite obedient, his brother told him not to go to the lake, he never went, he could swim and he didn't go, and he also taught other disobedient little children that "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall." ”
Ji Xun has definitely read a lot of books, and the words he wrote with charcoal in the cave are comparable to Wang Xizhi's.
Today he said that he would go to the patriarch surnamed Shen and ask Mrs. Wang and the two uncles to ask for their father's house and land, so Ji Xun did not go into the mountain.
"I'll leave when I'm done, you wait."
Shen Yuyu said to Ji Xun, put a pot on the stove to boil water, ready to soak the pig's large intestine in water, charcoal-grilled large intestine modern skewers she must order, baked half-dry sausage on the charcoal fire sizzling oil, and then sprinkle some cumin and chili powder, fragrant to death.
Ji Xun didn't speak, sitting at the entrance of the cave and looking outside, but out of the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but peek at Shen Yuyu, she pretended to be very hard, right? After all, this kind of menial work has never been done before.
But it's also a good thing, maybe you will be really diligent if you pretend to be dressed, and straightening this crooked seedling is worthy of Shen Hong's trust.
The large intestine was blanched, fixed with a thin bamboo skewer, and finally tied with a rope and hung in a proper position above the stove.
She slice and marinate the pork belly, and make pork belly soup at night.
Shen Yuyu concentrates on her work, she is most seriously involved in two things in modern times, one is to see the disease, and the other is to make food, is it considered a combination of work and life?
When he was done, he cleaned his hands, straightened his slightly messy hair, tied the girdle tightly, and tied a bow on his side waist.
"Let's go." She greeted Ji Xun in a relaxed tone, walked outside the cave, and Ji Xun picked up a crutch and followed.
The autumn was crisp and the sky was clear, and the two went to the village one after the other, and the long-tongued women who passed through the wellhead were talking again.
"Yo? Is Ji Cripple willing to go out with Shen Fool? It's weird. ”
"Didn't Shen fool go around claiming that he was still a yellow flower girl before? I guess I've been in bed for the past two days. ”
"No wonder Mrs. Wang came in a hurry yesterday and left angrily, presumably Shen Fool broke his body and couldn't sell it for a good price."
"Where can't you sell for a good price? Mrs. Wang had already contacted the next family, not to mention that she was pregnant and maybe she was even happier, the other party was an incompetent fool. ”
Aunt Zhou was also by the well, I really couldn't listen to it, "The villagers in the township all have the same surname, and they don't have lovers and gloat one by one, who doesn't have a daughter anymore?" Is the heart so hard, not afraid of retribution? "Everyone is silent.
"Yu Yu, where are you going?" Aunt Zhou straightened up and greeted Shen Yuyu with a kind face.
"I'll go to the patriarch's house, auntie." Shen Yuyu responded with a smile.
When Aunt Zhou heard this, she put down the clothes in her hand, and climbed more than a dozen stairs in one breath to Shen Yuyu, she thought that Shen Yuyu was going to the patriarch's house to sign and leave, and she looked anxious.
"Yu Yu, don't be stupid, Ji Xunduo is a good person? You won't suffer if you live well with him. It's nothing to be poor at the moment, and it will always be okay in the future. After speaking, he looked at Ji Xun again, "Ah Xun, the eldest mother knows that you are a good person, an honest person, Yu Yu is young and ignorant, you can tolerate what you have done wrong, if there is no food in winter, the eldest mother will give you some evenly, so that you will not freeze to death and starve to death, rest assured." ”
These words really impressed Ji Xun, it turned out that there are such good people in the world.
He just wanted to explain, but Shen Yuyu rushed to speak, still stupid and loud when he spoke without order.
"Auntie, am I stupid? I just want to ask my grandmother to take fifty taels of silver out to treat Ji Xun's legs and face, and let him go to study to test his fame, as long as he is better looking than Wang Xiucai and more talented than Wang Xiu, then I will not be reconciled. ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment when these words came out, and then couldn't help laughing.
"This fool, he still said that he didn't make a fool, poof~~"
"It turns out that she has changed her daydream again, which is good, Wang Xiucai is relieved in the end."
"Then don't Mrs. Wang be entangled? Fifty taels of silver, I want her to die. ”
"I still want to pry her and leave to sell it again, now she won't leave, Mrs. Wang steals chickens and rice, there is a good show to watch."
Aunt Zhou laughed when she heard this, this kid has a tendon, and she never gets tired of what she thinks, Mrs. Wang is greedy and bad, she took her stepson Shen Hong's eighty taels pension and didn't give Shen Yuyu a cent, and it was not an exaggeration to ask her to spit out fifty taels.
But she won't take out such a large sum of money if she wants Mrs. Wang's life, but it's good to pester her, so as to save her from being bad-hearted.
"Then why go to the patriarch's house?" Aunt Zhou was a little puzzled.
"Oh, my grandmother said that the money was used up, so I asked her to ask for my father's house and land, and my grandmother lied, and she said that she sold it, but I saw my uncle working in that field two days ago."
Aunt Zhou was overjoyed when she heard it, so she hurriedly patted Shen Yuyu's shoulder and handed her an encouraging look: "Then Auntie won't delay you, there are still clothes to wash." "I don't dare to say much, Mrs. Wang and her two daughters-in-law are both shrews and don't want to quarrel with them.
When the ladies of the families at the mouth of the well heard this, they discussed it again.
"Don't you think Shen is a fool who has changed? It doesn't seem to be as stupid as before. ”
"I also think that you still know how to ask the patriarch for your own land, how smart is it?"
"You think too much, how can a fool be smart? Didn't you see Ji Cripple in that? It wasn't his idea, I chopped my head off. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, forget him, he has killed people on the battlefield and seen blood, he must not be a good stubble, and now he can't live anymore, so he started the idea of these things."
"What do you mean by the idea of these things? Those things were originally Shen Hong's, what's wrong with his daughter taking them back? Aunt Zhou couldn't listen to it anymore, and couldn't help but say fairly, "If my granddaughter lived in a cave and ate wild vegetables, I would have taken the initiative to take it out." ”
