The villagers who gradually came to help left with little sympathy for them and full of gossip.
Mrs. Zhang assigned tasks to everyone, and she and Mrs. Zhou continued to clean up the mess. Shen Yu and Shen Tang mysteriously got into the car before dark, carrying baskets on their backs.
Banxia was responsible for making medicine for Daya and taking good care of her. The main task of the remaining three children was to collect the thatch that was dried outside, bring it all in and put it in place, as everyone's "bed" tonight.
Erya worked hard with a happy smile on her face.
"Why are you giggling?" Shen Xiaoguo was speechless.
Erya trotted happily and said, "It's great. No one will beat or scold me or my sister anymore. I'm so happy."
Seeing the crooked look on her smiling face, Shen Xingwan felt more and more that Mrs. Shen was very harmful to others. Seeing how much she had been forced to do by her children, as long as he was not with her, he would be happy even if he lived in a drafty thatched house. rise.
Shen Xingwan groaned and ran with thatched grass a few times, but her back and legs immediately ached. No wonder the original owner refused to leave the Hou Mansion until he died. He was pampered since he was a child and he really couldn't bear this hardship.
Shen Xiaoguo glanced at her with disdain, "Why are you so weak? Are you tired now?"
"Third sister, please take a rest and we can hug you." Erya said very thoughtfully.
As expected, the younger sister is just a little cotton-padded jacket. Shen Xingwan gritted his teeth and insisted, feeling too embarrassed to rest alone.
The fat cat walked on the catwalk and waggled its tail. He walked beside her with great dignity and spurred her on, "Look at you, you are such a loser. If you stay in the village, you will starve to death sooner or later and you will be unable to do anything. So you have to find a way to work hard and make money." , defeat the heroine?”
Wei Xi actually glanced at it condescendingly, "Who did this come from? Their system either has a golden finger or a shopping mall, but you are such a useless meow and you dare to despise me."
Fat Meow let out a cry, rushed up to hug her trouser legs, rolled around and scratched her wildly.
Erya, the little kid, looked at Fat Meow with bright eyes, "Third sister, he is so cute."
"What's so cute? He's fat and stupid..."
Soon before it got completely dark, the room was almost tidied up, and Shen Tang and Shen Yu came back carrying firewood.
Put down the backpack and unload the firewood.
Shen Tang took out a smoked rabbit from the innermost part, and then took out a small piece of bacon that he didn't know what kind of meat it was.
Shen Xingwan swallowed without fighting and looked helplessly, "Dad, where did you come from?"
Shen Tang blinked at her, "Secret."
Shen Xingwan thought for a moment with a puffy face and felt that there must be something on the mountain. The bamboo tube rice he brought last time was also brought back from the mountain.
"Dad, take me with you next time you go up the mountain." Shen Xingwan said.
Shen Tang couldn't help but pinch her fat face, "Look at your performance, I'll think about it."
Shen Xingwan slapped his hand away, "I hate it. You can't pinch a girl's face casually. What if it turns ugly?"
Shen Tang burst out laughing, feeling quite happy.
Fat Meow: Shameless, acting coquettishly and cutely despite being so old!
Shen Xingwan: I can act like a spoiled child and I am proud of it!
"Mother, prepare the rabbit and meat. Eat well for the first meal after the separation." Shen Tang ordered.
Then he and Shen Yu skillfully set up a fire outside with the firewood they carried back, and simply built a temporary stove.
Put the big pot on and cook the rice first. In the small casserole on the side, cut a few slices of bacon and stew the home-made tofu and acid given by the villagers. Soon the aroma of the meat will come out.
A few little ones were sitting in a row, looking at the pot and starting to drool.
Finally, the rice was cooked. Zhang quickly cut the rabbit into small pieces and stir-fried it. The spicy smell wafted out and made everyone hungry.
Mrs. Zhou watched from the side and couldn't help but sigh, "Fortunately, Sister-in-law, you brought the seasonings out, so we can make a good meal tonight."
For a big family like the Shen family, if you want to live a better life, you must have your own thoughts.
There are three children in the second bedroom, especially Su Jingyi, who has been weak since she was a child, so she secretly opened a small stove to replenish the children's health, which is normal.
Mrs. Zhang and I stir-fried the meat in the pot quickly and skillfully, and said happily, "Humph, from now on, I can eat whatever I want. I no longer have to be sneaky and act like a thief!"
"Yes, no matter how hard and tiring it is, I am finally free and don't have to live my life based on other people's faces." Mrs. Zhou sighed.
Both of them seemed to have escaped from a prison, their faces glowing with new glory.
Soon the rabbit meat was fried, and Mrs. Zhang washed the pot and fried the shepherd's purse picked by Shen Xingwan and Shen Xiaoguo.
Just pick up the casserole, one soup, one meat and one vegetable, all in large portions.
Everyone gathered around with bowls in hand, grabbed handfuls of hay and started eating without even a table or bench.
Shen Xing ate two big bowls of rice with sour and fresh pickled cabbage and tofu soup, along with spicy rabbit meat, while the others ate without talking.
Soon the dishes and rice were looted. Zhang Banxia began to clean up and wash the dishes.
Daya was a patient after all, so Shen Tang specially brought her back pheasant meat, tore it into shreds, mixed it with white rice, and cooked it into soft porridge.
Mrs. Zhou fed her one bite at a time and couldn't help but feel sad when she saw her eating. "Eat slowly. From now on, even if my mother goes to beg for food, she won't starve you anymore."
It was getting dark and night was falling. The stars in the sky were so beautiful. Shen Xingwan raised his head and looked up at the stars.
Shen Yu sat next to her, "Do you miss the capital?"
Shen Xingwan shook his head, "No, this is my home."
Soon the adults had almost finished their work, and everyone sat down around the fire. Even Da Ya was helped out and sat next to Zhou.
"Go to bed after your body has warmed up. Be careful of catching cold at night." Shen Tang warned.
No one spoke for a while, and they sat together quietly. Such a warm atmosphere had never existed in the old house.
"His third aunt, what are your plans for the future?" Mrs. Zhang asked with a worried look on her face.
Ms. Zhou thought for a while, "If we stay in the village, we won't be able to survive without land, and it's too close to the Shen family, so I don't worry."
"So I thought that when Da Ya gets better, I would go to the town and find a job. No matter how hard or tiring it is, I can do it. I just want to give our mother a bite to eat."
Zhou's family is not just whimsical. Since ancient times, Jiangnan has been known as paradise, with outstanding people and a developed economy.
When the village is not farming, many people go to the town to work as part-time workers to earn money to support their families.
Although it is a small town, it is located in the south of the Yangtze River and relies on code writing. There have always been many small and wealthy families, and the economy is not backward.
Mrs. Zhang nodded and expressed her support, "Indeed, since we have escaped, we might as well stay away."
"What about you, second sister-in-law?" asked Ms. Zhou.
Shen Xingwan was immediately drawn back to his attention and looked at Shen Tang expectantly.
Shen Tang said slowly, "We must be going to town too, and we will be able to support each other then."
Finally taking the crucial step of selling, Shen Xingwan seemed to see money waving to her.
