After dinner, it was completely dark. Shen Yuhu held a lantern and watched Ji Xun unload the goods.
After finishing his work, he returned to the house and washed up. It was eight or nine o'clock in the evening. Shen Yuyu didn't sleep well the night before and fell asleep as soon as he pressed the bed. The next day Ji Xun got up early to practice Kung Fu, and Shen Yuyu made breakfast. Little days in the country.
After eating, Shen Yuyu put Ji Xun's and his own dirty clothes into the basin and carried them to the wellhead.
On the way, I wondered, when did she start washing clothes for Ah Xun? This lady is becoming more and more qualified. When she turns eighteen, she and Ah Xun will get married and have a few children. They will live a happy life. It's bustling with excitement, which seems pretty good.
Shen Yuyu felt happy as he thought about it, and soon came to the mouth of the well.
The sun rarely shines in spring, but today it happened to be shining brightly. When Shen Yuxi came to the wellhead, it was crowded with people, all washing clothes and bedding.
Everyone was busy with washboards and laundry sticks, and their hands were busy and their mouths were busy.
"Fool Shen and Ji Xun are back making wine, have you heard about it?"
"I heard about it. I saw them entering the village with my own eyes last evening. I even asked about them."
"To be kicked out like this? It's an advantage for Shen Tailin's family. They are so prosperous.'
"By the way, those sons of Shen Tailin's family haven't gotten married yet, right?'
"Isn't that true?" After being reminded, several women's eyes lit up.
The four clay-legged men of the Shen family were thin, dark, and as tired as ghosts when they worked as bricklayers. Who would marry their daughter to them?
Now Xianyu has made a comeback, Shen Xingwang has become a big boss, and the other three have become restaurant chefs. Now that they marry their daughters, they will directly become the proprietresses.
Those who have a daughter at home should shut up and stop talking bad about Shen Tailin's family. They plan to quickly invite the matchmaker to Fengming Restaurant to have a chat.
Soon, a group of women quickly finished their work and left the mouth of the well.
When Shen Yuyu arrived, she had a seat. Amid everyone's mocking gazes, she chose a seat, squatted down, and started washing clothes.
"Girl Shen, you and Ji Xun were kicked out by Shen Tailin and his family just like this?" An aunt next to Shen Yuyu looked at her amusedly.
"No." Shen Yuyu didn't want to talk to him at first, but he felt that if he didn't explain it, he might drown people in his saliva, so he said patiently, "Let Brother Xingwang take care of the restaurant. Ah Xun and I will come back to study how to deal with it." Winemaking. ”
"Pfft~~" The aunt couldn't help but laugh, "Leave the restaurant to their family to take care of? He will take half of the income in a day. You and Ji Xun know nothing about Shenjia Village. Don't check the rent at the end of the month. You still need to take it out of your pocket."
"No, Aunt Zhou and Uncle Shen's family are all honest people. Ah Xun and I believe in them."
"Honestly? Honestly, why don't they come back to make wine themselves? Let you manage the restaurant?
"That's right." Someone next to him answered, "Shen Tailin used to sell wine. Isn't he better at making wine than you two?"
Shen Yuyu said firmly: "The wine I brew will definitely taste better than Uncle Shen's.'
The aunt looked at Shen Yuyu as if she were a fool, "Shen Tailin said that, right? He knows how to deceive people."
Shen Yuyu felt that he couldn't explain it to these talkative women, so he stopped talking and concentrated on washing clothes.
Just after Ji Xun's clothes were washed, Shen Wen's mother, Aunt Zhao, came down to the wellhead with a clothes basin. With a happy face, she mysteriously said to everyone: "Did you know? My ancestors have shown their spirits!"
After hearing this, everyone focused their attention on her. "What? There is smoke coming out of your ancestral grave?" Someone was joking.
Aunt Zhao chuckled: "The smoke didn't come out, but all the offerings made there during the Qingming Festival were eaten by the ancestors."
"Pfft~~ Rats eat it, right?"
"Have you ever seen a mouse take away a whole apple? There are also steamed buns, which at most have been gnawed into holes by mice. I just passed by my grandfather's grave, and all the offerings there were eaten by his old man. His old man must have a spiritual manifestation. Come on, bless my family to make a lot of money, and also open a restaurant, bless you."
Everyone laughed and laughed after hearing this, saying that Aunt Zhao was crazy for wanting to get rich. Do you really think you are as lucky as Shen Tailin? The connotation of each sentence is that Shen Yuyu is stupid. Shen Yuyu didn't answer, just washed his clothes and left. .
When I returned home after washing my clothes, I saw that Ji Xun had cultivated a flower bed and was seriously scattering flower seeds.
Shen Yuyu hung up his clothes to dry and said to Ji Xun: "Axun, I'll take the horse to feed it, and then go find the second uncle. The second uncle's family used to open a winery in the town, so he can definitely help us. busy. '
"Okay, let's go." Ji Xun responded, "When there are fewer people at the wellhead, I will carry the wine-making equipment I bought yesterday to the wellhead and clean it.
There was a stream next to their house, which flowed from the peach grove, but the water was not big enough. Ji Xun took a bamboo tube to catch the water and led it into a wooden bucket. He usually used it for cooking and boiling water, and for washing vegetables. You have to go to the wellhead.
After saying hello, Shen Yuyu took the horse to graze. Remembering that he still had a few acres of fertile land, he wanted to take a look.
Her family's rice field is located in the southeast of the village. From the foot of the north mountain to the cave where she used to live, she has to pass her family's rice field. Shen Yue leads the horse to graze all the way there.
When we arrived at the place, we saw that the fields were filled with water.
Generally, after the autumn harvest, water is not released into the rice fields. Instead, the rice fields are plowed and planted with Chinese cabbage or rapeseed flowers to make it easier to plow the fields in the spring.
The few acres of land owned by Shen Yuyu's family were turned into fish ponds by Shen Yingming on purpose.
"Hey~~What is that?" Shen Yuyu tied his horse at the foot of the mountain to eat grass. He squatted beside the paddy field and looked around, and found that every footwell in the water was crowded with snails.
"Let me go, no one eats snails in this era?" Shen Yuyu was surprised and happy. He quickly ran home to get a basket and came to pick up the snails.
I felt a large handful into the foot cavity, not wanting the small ones, but choosing the big ones. I quickly picked up a basket full, led the horse and carried the snails, and picked a handful of mugwort leaves on the way, and went home. .
"Hey? My wife has found a treasure?" Ji Xun was about to go out when he met Shen Yuyu coming back. Seeing her joyful look, he touched her little head and looked into her basket.
"What is this?" Ji Xun asked casually.
"Grow the snails for two days so they can spit out the mud in their bellies, and then cook them for you to eat in two days.
Ji Xun expressed that he was not very interested. He was born in a noble family and was naturally resistant to certain things. However, in order not to spoil his wife's interest, he pinched her little face and said "Okay!" and hurriedly left.
Shen Yuyu found a large wooden basin, carefully poured the snails into it, added water, and then crushed the moxa leaves and threw them into the water to induce vomiting.
After finishing these tasks, I washed my hands and feet, changed into clean clothes, and went to Shaiguping to find the second uncle.
