After lunch, Cheng Xi went out with a basket of pastries and Shen Xingqi.

On the way to the patriarch's house, she gradually learned about the general situation of the hundreds of people in the Shen family.

The Shen family has 8 grandfathers and brothers and sisters, and now only the sixth uncle who is nearly seventy years old remains, and he is also the elder of the Shen family, who is not only in charge of the Shen ancestral hall but also passed on the position of Li Zheng to the eldest son.

Shen Xingluo's grandfather is the fifth, and his only son, Shen's father, has fallen ill, and Shen Xingluo married the original owner last month after just three years of filial piety.

There are 12 uncles and aunts of Shen's father's generation, not counting the aunts who got married, and there are even more brothers and sisters of the same generation as Shen Xingluo, not to mention that there are many people in his generation who are married.

The Shen family alone accounts for one-fifth of the village's population, and it's really thriving-

Cheng Xi was embarrassed when she heard this, and she dared to love that her family's population was withering......

However, this also saves a lot of trouble, and the elders who need to be visited belong to the category of cousins, and they are still far away.

What is Yuantang?

It's the pinch that can't control her family at any time, and can still be twisted into a rope in case of trouble.

Shen Xingqi saw her thinking on her face, and thought she was nervous.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, although the sixth uncle looks serious, he is very talkative, and he hugged me when he was a child!"

Cheng Xi nodded and listened to them one by one, and then realized that something was wrong.

"Wait, why don't you call Sister Xiaoxi?"

"Forehead ......"

The sister-in-law is stuck, and her face bag has become red because of embarrassment.

"Didn't I get used to it before, but now that Sister Xiaoxi is married to her brother, she naturally has to be called sister-in-law."

“......”

Then why didn't you change your mind before? Didn't the original owner give a red envelope?

"It's my brother who told me just now, and I'm going to call my sister-in-law in the future."

"You can call it whatever you want, you don't have to listen to anyone."

As for the number of rites, that's a god horse?

Of course, how comfortable it is in front of his family.

Taking advantage of Shen Xingqi's stunned moment, Cheng Xi couldn't hold back the little girl's plush hair, and was very satisfied with the feeling of hand.

The two arrived at the gate of a small brick courtyard and began to visit one by one.

The sixth uncle does look more serious, perhaps because he is the head of a family, his every move is full of majesty, and the current Li is a little less meaningful in comparison.

But he couldn't stop his son from listening to his father.

Cheng Xi observed quietly for a moment, and knew that this Uncle Li Zheng was not smart, but there was only one thing that stood out, that is, he knew how many catties and taels he had, and he was very good at making good use of others.

Li Zheng is married to Zhang, a middle-aged woman who is quick to do things, and she handles the following three daughters-in-law properly.

Cheng Xi sent the pastries brought from Lin'an Mansion, and after a few words of greeting, he changed to the next one.

In this way, the uncles in the village all walked down, and the two of them were very tired, not only had to laugh, but also had to deal with a few aunts and brothers and sisters openly and secretly.

For the people in the village, Shen Xingluo's future is a big deal.

After walking to the last house, Shen Xingqi's eyes were red, and he found Shen Xingluo as soon as he got home.

"Brother, don't worry, no matter how much money you spend, you have to ask a doctor to heal your face, and I'll go embroider the screen!"

“......”

Shen Xingluo thought about it for a moment and knew what she had experienced, and the corners of her mouth were slightly pulled.

"Why are you so worried at such a young age? You don't have to worry, I have my own ideas. ”

With all this in mind, what else can you think?

The little girl stared at him with rabbit eyes, and Shen Xingluo was looked weak for a while.

In the end, Cheng Xi couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked over and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, there are many miracle doctors in the world, I heard my father say that there is still the Medicine King Valley on the rivers and lakes, please come back a few another day." ”

"Really?"

"What are you lying to do?"

Cheng Xi didn't care, "Even if you can't do anything else, it's useless to be a scholar, your brother has so much strength to go to the dock to carry sacks." ”

Shen Xingluo: "......"

Shen Xingqi: w(゚Д゚)w

***

It took Cheng Xi three days to transport all the grain from Lin'an Mansion back to the village.

In order to avoid the crowds, she entered the city in the evening and drove away before the curfew.

5,000 catties of rice and noodles can be regarded as a lot of tiredness, so much so that Cheng Xi touched the only remaining conscience and tearfully fed some sorghum and soybeans as a condiment.

"I'll have to change to grass tomorrow, it's easy to get angry if you're overnourished, you know?"

Cheng Xi saw that it snorted loudly at him, so he regarded it as an agreement, and was so satisfied that he tied it to the door.

You have to build a straw hut for the animals.

I bought it at a great price, but I can't freeze to death.....

In three days, the small courtyard of the farmhouse changed greatly, and Uncle Wang, a mason, built a kang with red bricks in three bedrooms, and it could be lived in for a few days.

The renovation of the courtyard was handed over to Shen Xingluo, and the cellar had been dug two meters deep.

"Uncle Wang is gone?"

"Hmm."

The man was building red bricks around the cellar in his life, and the cold weather made him sweat a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

"I'll ask Uncle Wang to come over tomorrow and build a chicken and duck shed on the east side."

"Then I'll go to Uncle Lizheng's house another day to change a few poultry and raise them."

Meat must be there!

Cheng Xi's eyes lit up, "I looked at the small river at the foot of the mountain that leads directly to the village, are there any fish in it?" ”

Shen Xingluo met her shining eyes and smiled dumbly.

"Yes, but the river looks narrow but deep, and it's hard to catch."

"Yes, it's fine."

She has fishing tools and fishing nets in her space, so she doesn't believe she can't catch fish.

Both husband and wife have extraordinary strength, and the cellar was quickly built, and it can hold a lot of things squarely.

"Put the herbs and radishes in first, and put everything in a vertical position, so it's easier to eat."

There are few kinds of vegetables in winter, Cheng Xi bought as many as possible, pumpkins, winter melons, and green onions, and bought hundreds of catties of mung beans and soybeans in order to enrich the variety.

In winter, you can make your own bean sprouts, which can be fried and eaten as well as shabu-shabu, which is perfect.

It's a pity that there are no potatoes and sweet potatoes in the Dayan Dynasty, and I always feel that the most important match is missing from the table.

When Shen Xingluo heard this, he placed them one by one under the cellar, and in his heart, he knew a little more about Cheng Xi.

He can see that the little wife is only very concerned about eating.

Early the next morning, Shen Xingqi found Cheng Xi.

"Sister-in-law, my screen has been embroidered, and I want to go to the embroidery workshop to work, can I go with you today?"

"Yes, I'm afraid you'll be bored at home all day."

"Then I'll go get ready!"

The little girl soon walked up to her with a package, and Cheng Xi glanced at the finished screen, which made her bow her head and blush.

Alas~ With such a thin skin, you have to boast about it.

The first step to becoming a female paper paper is to be thick-skinned!

"Is there only one screen? I remember you also embroidered a lot of handkerchiefs and purses. ”

"My brother took it, isn't it my sister-in-law that you use it?"

Cheng Xi: "??? ”

I suspect your brother has someone out there.

True.
