Chapter 3: Mother has really changed
Shen Nuo immediately shouted sweetly: "Daddy." ”
Shen Changmian breathed a sigh of relief.
He was fishing outside, and when he heard that his daughter was sold, he kept watching and resolutely refused to let others take Shen Nuo away.
coincided with Shen Nuo's nap, the family couldn't open the pot at all, and everything was taken by his eldest brother Shen Dashan to pay off the debt, he thought about whether he could catch fish and make do with it first, people can't really starve to death.
But unexpectedly, it didn't take long for him to hear that his daughter was taken away by his eldest brother.
Frightened, he didn't have time to remove the basket on his body and hurried home.
Shen Changmian put down the basket on his body and stepped forward to hug Shen Nuo.
His clothes were still wet, and they were water stains on his back basket.
"What are you going to do here? How did you get wet? Don't hug my good grandson, what if she gets cold? Zhong Tingyue looked the little son up and down.
The only one in the family who can read and write, is handsome, and does have the temperament of a reader.
When Shen Changmian heard this, he sneered, "I can't open the pot at home, I'll look for anything to eat, and I was lucky today and caught six big fish." ”
Strange to say, he didn't get anything.
Today was surprisingly good, catching six very large fish in one afternoon.
I hurriedly put it in the basket and ran back.
Hearing his resentment against the original owner, Zhong Tingyue didn't feel anything, and directly took out the five taels of silver and put it in his hand: "Give the silver back to others, we don't want this silver, even if the Shen family is poor, they will not sell their children!" ”
Shen Changmian looked shocked, staring at the silver in his hand in disbelief for a moment.
The thought of not having to sell his daughter.
He immediately changed his face: "Thank you, mother!" ”
Zhong Tingyue's eyes were also sour, and she found it from the memories of the original owner.
This young son is very talented in reading.
Due to the partiality of the original owner, he was forced to return after staying at the academy for a while.
Work all day in the fields.
But the original owner likes to mock him, and all kinds of ugly words come out as if they don't want money.
Zhong Tingyue snorted lightly, and immediately attracted the attention of several people.
Shen Dashan's eyes were always on the silver.
I can't help it at all.
His face was full of resentment: "Mother, you asked the third brother to give the silver to others, what will we do in the future!" You really don't want my son anymore, do you? There is no room for the pot to be opened at home, and we all have to starve to death before you are satisfied! How could there be such a vicious mother as you! ”
"You got in your mouth? What an unfilial son, scolding me in turn, right? Didn't you just suffer enough? You don't do any work with a fat look, the dirty work at home is either your daughter-in-law or your two younger brothers, you have two hands as if they didn't grow, you are not as good as the pigs in the pigsty! The pig eats the food and knows to hum with me, what about you? It's all dung! ”
Zhong Tingyue can say anything when she scolds people.
Wicked people like this can be violently countered by violence.
Call her vicious?
Well, she'll show them viciousness!
Shen Dashan's face was flushed, and he watched Zhong Tingyue pick up the stick again, and didn't dare to speak again for a long time.
The atmosphere became very silent, like the silence of the eve of a storm.
Shen Nuo's stomach suddenly gurgled and screamed.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Changmian also made a sound.
The father and daughter immediately covered their stomachs in embarrassment and didn't dare to look up.
Zhong Tingyue sighed, "Since the third child has caught six fish, cook three first, and sell the remaining three big ones, the eldest daughter-in-law, you go and cook them." ”
Zhong Tingyue didn't plan to do it herself, but instead called Wen Jinxiu, and then beckoned to Shen Nuo.
The little girl immediately fell into her arms.
Zhong Tingyue looked at the little girl's well-behaved appearance, and her heart moved slightly, what the original master did was not a human business, she couldn't be like that.
Since she was here, she had to feed herself and her family.
Only when you are full can you have the strength to transform the "bear child"!
Shen Changmian's eyes trembled, and his mouth moved.
The daughter has never been so clingy to her mother before, but she will be a little scared.
And his mother even dislikes her daughter for being a little girl, and never wants to be close.
"What are you doing? The firewood should be burned, and the fish should be processed! Zhong Tingyue frowned and urged them to do it.
She was also a little hungry.
There is food, or meat, Shen Dashan and Shen Erhai immediately cheered, not thinking about the beating just now.
The smoke gradually rose, and the fish soup was about to come out of the pot.
A woman shouted towards the courtyard: "The eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family, she is not at home!" ”
Wen Jinxiu immediately wiped the water droplets on her hands, wiped her sweat, and walked out of the low kitchen: "Aunt Li, I'm here." ”
Zhong Tingyue, who heard the voice, also immediately walked out with Shen Nuo in her arms and looked forward.
Aunt Li immediately said: "Last time, did you still have time for the bamboo weaving?" There are more than a dozen in that town, one is ten, and it is more urgent, and it will be asked for tomorrow. ”
Wen Jinxiu was stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Aunt Li, did they say what they wanted?" ”
Aunt Li shook the bamboo basket in her hand.
Zhong Tingyue also looked at it, this basket is not very big.
To fill the eggs, you also need to put straw on the pad and then hold it by hand.
The spacing of this bamboo weaving is a bit large, not only that, but the width of the bamboo strips is also large, and the practicality is not particularly strong.
This kind of bamboo basket is used in this town, it is estimated that there is a happy event, and it is used as a foil for the dowry or dowry, and some red cloth strips are added, which is very festive.
It is used to hold part of the dowry, and it is also more suitable to let others see the strength of the family.
Wen Jinxiu stretched out her hand and touched it, weighed it, and said, "Okay, Aunt Li, I'll get it after I'm done." ”
One is ten cents, and ten is one hundred.
Wen Jinxiu's silver was saved in this way, but it couldn't prevent Shen Dashan from gambling.
Zhong Tingyue took a step forward and accosted Aunt Li: "This bamboo strip will be used for me first?" ”
Wen Jinxiu has always been used to being tortured, so she shuddered and gave up her position to Zhong Tingyue.
She put down Shen Nuo and concentrated on weaving a more delicate square basket out of bamboo strips.
It's much better than the previous basket, and there are a few leaves around it.
There are no flowers to be found here, so they can only be replaced with leaves.
Aunt Li's face was full of shock, and she touched the exquisite little basket that Zhong Tingyue had compiled: "You...... How did you do it? ”
"No one had thought about it before, the leaves here would look better if they were replaced with flowers, and they would be bigger and better, and they would be stacked."
Zhong Tingyue explained, and other thoughts already appeared in her heart.
This thing, with all kinds of tricks, can make a lot of money, but it's a bit laborious.
Wen Jinxiu was also shocked, Zhong Tingyue had never done these things before.
There are so many new tricks now!
She hesitated for a moment, and while Aunt Li was still observing the flower basket, she whispered, "Mother, this is ...... This bamboo weaving can make a lot of money, more than I have earned before. ”
