Chapter 99

The busy days passed quickly, and it was May in a blink of an eye.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, Shen's workshop is closed for the day, and Shen Dahe and his wife went to the county town early in the morning to set up a stall. As in previous years, they still went to the old house for dinner at noon today.

The five children waited at home for most of the day. It was already past the usual time to arrive home, and their parents had not come back yet.

Shen Guan packed up his things, brought his younger siblings to the old house first with the etiquette agreed upon yesterday.

"Father and mother are probably delayed by something. Let's go to grandma's house first. I will wait at the door to save them from coming home."

Qingxiu re-braided Xiao Miaoer, "Could it be that today's sales are not very good, and mother wants to come back after selling out?"

Shen Qingning nodded, "Mother said that today is the festival, there must be a lot of people on the street, and they brought four buckets of fans out."

"Then let's go first."

At this time, the weather is already hot, and the family is now earning money, with an income of nearly a hundred taels of silver a month.

Mrs. Li sold light and good materials to the family early on to make clothes for the five children.

When they arrived at the old house, Qingxiu also went to help in the kitchen, and Shen Guan also told old Shentou and Jiang that his parents hadn't come back yet.

Jiang Shi and Shen Meixiang pushed Qingxiu out, "It's the holidays, you don't need to work, go play with Feng Zhen Lan Hui."

"Your parents probably have something to do, don't worry."

"Understood, grandma."

Shen Qingning went into the house and called the elders of the other two rooms, and took Xiao Miaoer and Shen Zheng to find a cat in the shade of a tree outside the yard to catch cicadas for younger brothers and sisters to play with.

It was too hot this day, and the cicadas on the tree were screaming loudly.

"Second sister, second sister, come one more."

The wing on Xiao Miaoer's hand was broken by her, and she crawled around on her little hand, but she couldn't fly away.

Shen Qingning wanted to wander around the big tree again, Xia Tian knew a lot, and could grasp it with bare hands without climbing a tree or using a bag.

This time Shen Qingning touched a black one for her, this kind is a female cicada that cannot sing.

The little girl was very happy, she grabbed one wing and tore off another.

...............

Shen Qingning mourned in silence for these cicadas, and met such a cruel and merciless little kid like Shen Qingmiao.

After a while, Qingxiu came out with two bamboo stools.

Shen Qingning saw that her complexion was not very good, "What's wrong?"

"Waiting for parents with you."

"Then what's the matter with your face? Who said what happened to you? Uncle or third aunt?"

"Uncle."

Shen Qingning had a headache, she knew it.

Some people are like this. When you are difficult, they will ridicule you and bully you. When you are prosperous, they will be jealous of you and even resent you.

"What can I say?"

Qingxiu sighed, "It's not like that, life is better at home, don't drag your own family."

"That's it? Isn't Sister Fengzhen working as a helper in our house? I'm doing light work for the same wages as others, isn't that considered a drag?"

This is the case in this era, and the various relationships of the family cannot be distinguished too clearly.Whether it's Li Shi or Shen Dahe, if you tell them not to associate with these annoying relatives, you will probably get scolded.

She was really too lazy to deal with it, Da Sun didn't have the temperament to take advantage of him, Shen Qingning was tired of even arguing.

"What else did you say?"

"Also say that my life is good, otherwise there is nothing else to say."

"The marriage of Li Zheng's family?"

"kindness."

Shen Qingning looked at Shen Zheng who was practicing his head not far away, and asked Qingxiu in a low voice, "Sister, are you dissatisfied with this marriage?"

There was no shy expression on Qingxiu's face, "There is nothing dissatisfied. The scholar's family is also well-off and he is from the same village. You said how difficult it is to marry into a village. I feel very good about this alone."

"But you don't like Zhao Wenhao, do you?"

Qingxiu glared at her, "What is liking? You said it as if you understood too much. Don't talk nonsense, people will say you have no rules."

"This is Miaoer, what does she know?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Miaoer raised her head when she heard her name, showing a dirty face, "Second Sister, I like it."

The two sisters were amused by her stupidity, "Oh, look at your dirty monkey, you only change your clothes when you go out."

"Elder Sister, don't worry about her. You get dirty after a while, just wash before eating."

Qingxiu told her, "Xiao Miao'er can learn to speak now, don't talk nonsense in front of her, it will make you feel ashamed to be listened to."

Shen Qingning didn't care about these, and moved to Qingxiu's side again, "You haven't said whether you like Zhao Wenhao or not?"

"I really don't know, how can I like it?"

"Then do you hate him?"

"Hate? I don't think I hate it."

"Then are you particularly happy to see him?"

"No."

That means neither hating nor liking it anymore, Shen Qingning gave up.Qingxiu is only 13 years old, if she had just started junior high school in modern times.

Forget it, don't ask.

But she still added, "Sister, listen to me, if you don't like Zhao Wenhao or have someone you like in the future, you must tell me, and I will help you mess up this marriage."

Qingxiu froze for a moment, can this still be the case?
Over there, Xiao Miaoer raised her head again, "Second Sister, it's messed up."

Shen Qingning looked at her dirty little face, couldn't bear it, pulled Xiao Miao and patted her buttocks, "Don't talk like others, take you to wash it, you are too dirty, I think I can't go down."

At this moment, Xiao Miao'er pointed forward, "Mother."

Li Shi and Shen Dahe came back with smiles on their faces.

Is this a good thing?
"Mom and Dad."

"Mom, what good thing happened to you?"

Facing Shen Qingning's question, the smile on Li's face became more obvious, "Something good happened."

"What's the matter?"

"I'll go in first and let your father tell you."

Mrs. Li jumped out of the car and hurried into the old house, she was late today.

"Father, what's the matter?"

Shen Dahe tied the horse to the tree, "Didn't you say that you wanted to open a small shop a few days ago? Today the toothbrush came to us and said that there is a suitable shop, so he took us to have a look."

Shen Qingning suddenly became interested, "Where are you?"

"It's not far from our house. Your mother and I went to see it. The front door is quite spacious, and there is a small yard behind it. It's just that the asking price is too high."

Qingxiu asked him, "How much silver?"

"400 taels."

The delicate voice suddenly raised its voice, "400 taels!"

I am obedient!She has never seen 400 taels in her life.

Shen Qingning's focus is not on money, if the appearance is big enough, the price is not too high.

"Father, which shop has quit?"

"That's the weekly diary."

"Oh, so it's his house."

Shen Qingning actually went to this restaurant to eat at his house. The food is not expensive, but it is not delicious.

The skill of the cooking chef is very average, it is the kind of shop that Shen Qingning has been to once and will not go to a second time.

"It didn't take long for Zhou Ji to take over, so it's a mess?"

Shen Dahe nodded, "It's also because of this, your mother and I didn't agree right away, we didn't have much confidence in the loss of others!"
