Chapter 84: Decision
When Shen April came over, she happened to see Yang Xiaoru and their leaving, while her second sister was standing by the flower bed in a daze.
She walked up to her and said with concern, "Second sister, what are they looking for you?" Didn't embarrass you, did you? What happened to your face? β
Shen Yingyue raised her hand and touched the red marks that had not faded, shook her head gently, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Second sister is fine, they just heard that I was going to the selection class, and they felt very curious, so they came over to ask." β
"What's so curious about this, I don't think the person surnamed Yang is a good person, you stay away from them in the future."
Shen Yingyue nodded, and the two sisters walked back together.
At the end of school, a few people had just left the town when a cry came from behind them: "Wait! β
The sisters turned around and saw Hu Dongsheng and his brothers coming over in a mule cart.
"I knew I was going to run into you at this hour, get in the car."
Shen Yueyue happily carried Shen Jiyue into the car, and then sat on it herself: "Brother Chunsheng, why did you come back at this time?" β
"I'm going to farm after a while, and I'm going to go to the blacksmith shop in town to get a set of farm tools."
Shen Jiyue tilted her little head and asked curiously: "I heard grandma say that Zhaodi's sister-in-law is going to have a baby, Brother Chunsheng, am I going to be an aunt?" β
Hu Chunsheng scratched her little nose and said with a smile: "No, our Ji Yue is going to be a little aunt." β
"I'm not young, I'm seven years old."
Her serious appearance made everyone else in the car laugh.
Hu Dongsheng glanced at Shen Yingyue, who had been lowering her head next to him, hesitated, and took out a comb from his arms.
It is carved with a pattern and the workmanship is very fine.
"I bought it with the pocket money I saved and gave it to you."
Shen Yingyue hurriedly waved her hand: "I don't want it." β
"It's not worth anything, you give it to you, you take it." Hu Dongsheng couldn't help but stuff it into her hand, and then leaned over and whispered: "When I meet other good things next time, I will buy them for you." β
Shen Yingyue held the wooden comb, looked at the pattern on it for a long time and didn't speak, her beautiful lips were tightly pursed.
By the time the sisters arrived home, Shen Xinyue had already prepared dinner.
From the moment the children entered the door, the smile on Mrs. Shen's face never stopped.
Shen March: "Milk, did you pick up the money?" So happy. β
Mrs. Shen glanced at her, and said to a few little ones: "Brother Lu in the house is awake, your eldest sister has seen it, as long as you raise it slowly, it will be fine after a while." β
Look at that little brother is not only handsome, but also listens to his speech, and is very compatible with his eldest granddaughter.
Isn't this the fate of heaven?
Hearing that people were fine, several small ones were also happy for their eldest sister.
During the meal, Shen April said: "Eldest sister, when I came back today, I met Brother Hu and them, he has already started to make farming tools at home, from tomorrow after we get out of school, let's go and clear the land first." β
"It's really not an easy task to clear the wasteland." Mrs. Shen looked at her eldest granddaughter: "I can't grow anything in the first year, so I have to raise it slowly." Or plant beans this year, and get as much as you can. β
"Milk, I still have some of the potatoes and sweet potatoes before, I heard from Mrs. Na that these two things are high-yielding and don't pick a place. Why don't you plant beans partly and sweet potatoes and potatoes partly. β
Mrs. Shen nodded: "You still have to be busy with the things in the shop, and I can take the time to do the things in the field with a few small people." β
Shen Yingyue raised her head, wanting to say something, but hesitated for a moment and gave up.
After the family had eaten, Shen Xinyue brought a bowl of porridge into the house.
Lu Chong's eyes were open, but his body couldn't move yet, and he was staring at the roof of the shed thinking about things.
When he saw her come in, he smiled and said, "It's finally time to eat." β
But seeing that it was rice porridge again, his expression suddenly became a little disgusted: "Anyway, I'm also an injury, can't I give the whole thing nutritious?" Take, for example, meat. β
"It's good to eat some, but not everyone is as lucky as you to meet me."
Shen Xinyue sat beside him and naturally scooped a spoonful of porridge to his mouth.
Lu Zhong swallowed the porridge in his mouth, and said with a smile: "There are really not many people who are as lucky as me and have received an arrow for no reason." β
Shen Xinyue stopped what he was doing: "You should indeed be glad that without this arrow, I would not have been able to save you out of guilt, and besides, your injury is not as bad as my arrow." β
"Oh" Lu Chongqi smiled: "I should really thank you for saving your life?" That's okay, you say, how to thank you, promise to do it? No, I'm already in your house. β
Shen Xinyue: ......
Outside, a strong wind blew at some point, and the windows clicked.
The two people in the room who didn't like each other sat speechless.
After a while, Lu Zhong himself may also feel a little naΓ―ve, and coughed lightly and said, "This porridge tastes very special." β
"Really?" Shen Xinyue bent her eyes and said with a harmless face: "There is rat poison added to it, do you want another bowl?" β
Lu Chong grinned like a toothache: "What a girl with sharp teeth." β
After eating, Shen Xinyue got up and sent the bowl to the stove room, and then fetched another basin of water back.
At this time, the window suddenly crackled, and it should be raining.
"Your injuries are quite serious, knife wounds, arrow wounds, and other weapons seem to have a lot of enemies?"
Shen Xinyue untied his bandage, revealing the flesh-upturned wound inside, which was shocking.
Lu Zhong understood: "It's all settled, and it won't affect you." They ......"
"I don't want to know." Shen Xinyue interrupted: "Don't tell me, the more you know, the faster you will die, I understand." β
This time, Lu Zhong really couldn't help laughing.
His laughter was low and pleasant, and the tails of his eyes were slightly raised, forming a beautiful arc.
Shen Xinyue's eyes froze.
Soon she lowered her head again, carefully applied medicine to the wound, and then skillfully bandaged it.
After taking the dirty water out and pouring it out, Shen Xinyue went to the cabinet and picked up another quilt when he came back, and then spread it not far from him.
"It's not early, let's go to bed quickly."
As she spoke, she blew out the candle and lay down.
In the dimly lit room, with the sound of rain pouring outside the window, the two fell asleep unconsciously.
The spring rain is as precious as oil, and within two days, a new layer of green will emerge in the suburbs.
People put down everything they were doing and started to get busy with spring ploughing.
There was also a whisper in the town that the triennial draft had begun.
Looking at the majestic yamen with blue bricks and gray tiles opposite, Shen Yingyue thought for a long time and finally walked in.
The Hu family, father and son, were busy for three days in a row, and finally carefully turned over the five acres of land at home.
Because it is a wasteland, it is certainly not enough to turn it over once, and before planting, it is necessary to turn it at least two or three times in a row to reduce the number of wild grasses.
"I see that the girl in the new moon came back with a cow yesterday, and there is no strong labor at home, I am afraid it will take some effort to turn over the ground, and the family has finished turning over, and Ming'er and your grandfather will help them serve together."
Liu Sumei put the soaked soybeans into the stone mill and grinded the beans little by little.
