Chapter 15 15. Someone Outside
After lunch, Cheng Xi and Shen Xingqi went out with a basket containing pastries.

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

There are 8 siblings in the Shen family's grandparents, and now only the sixth uncle, who is nearly 70 years old, is also the elder of the Shen family.

Shen Xingluo's grandfather was the fifth eldest, and his only son, Shen's father, had died of illness. Shen Xingluo respected his father's will and married the original owner just after three years of mourning last month.

Father Shen has 12 uncles and aunts of the same generation, not counting the married aunts, but there are even more brothers and sisters of the same generation as Shen Xingluo, not to mention that there are many married people in his generation.

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

Cheng Xi felt ashamed when she heard this, and felt that the population of her family was dying.
But this also saves a lot of trouble. The elders who need to visit are all cousins, and they are still far away.

What is Yuantang?
It's the group that can't control her family at any time, and can be twisted together when things happen.

Seeing her thinking, Shen Xingqi thought she was nervous.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Although the sixth uncle looks serious, he is easy to talk to. He even hugged me when he was a child!"

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

"Wait, why don't you call me Miss Xiaoxi?"

"Forehead"

The sister-in-law got stuck, and her face turned red from embarrassment.

"I'm used to being called that before, but now that Miss Xiaoxi is marrying her brother, she naturally has to be called sister-in-law."

"."

Then why didn't you change your mind before?Could it be that the original owner didn't give the red envelope?
"My brother told me just now, and I will call you sister-in-law in the future."

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

As for etiquette, what is it?
Of course, how comfortable it is in front of my family.

While Shen Xingqi was in a daze, Cheng Xi couldn't help patting the little girl's fluffy hair, feeling very satisfied with her hand.

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

Uncle Six did look more serious, perhaps because he was the head of the clan, his every move showed a sense of majesty, compared to today's Lizheng, it was a bit less interesting.

But he couldn't stand his son listening to his father.

Cheng Xi observed quietly for a while, and then he knew that this Uncle Lizheng was not very smart, but the only thing that stood out was that he knew how much he weighed, and he knew how to use it well.

Lizheng is married to his wife, Mrs. Zhang, a swift middle-aged woman who handles the next three daughters-in-law properly.

Cheng Xi sent the cakes brought from Lin'an Mansion, exchanged some pleasantries and changed to the next one.

In this way, all the uncles in the village came down, and the two of them were very tired. They not only had to laugh, but also had to deal with the overt and secret inquiries of several aunts, brothers and sisters.

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

After walking through the last house, Shen Xingqi's eyes were red, and she found Shen Xingluo as soon as she 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 screens right now!"

"."

Shen Xingluo thought about it for a moment and knew what she had gone through, the corners of his mouth slightly twitched.

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

After all this, what else can I think?
The little girl stared at him with rabbit eyes, Shen Xingluo felt powerless for a while.

In the end, Cheng Xi couldn't stand it anymore, and walked over to pat her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, there are many genius doctors in the world. I heard from my father that there is also the Valley of Medicine Kings in Jianghu. Please come back some other day."

"Really?"

"What are you lying to?"

Cheng Xi didn't take it seriously, "Even if it's not good, you can do other things. You are a scholar who is useless. Your brother is so strong that he can carry sacks at the dock."

Shen Xingluo: "."

Shen Xingqi: w(Д)w
***
It took Cheng Xi three days to transport all the food from Lin'an Mansion back to the village.

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

The five thousand catties of rice noodles exhausted Ma so much that Cheng Xi touched what was left of his conscience and fed some sorghum and soybeans with tears in his eyes.

"Tomorrow I have to eat grass instead. Overnutrition can easily get angry, don't you know?"

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

It is necessary to build a grass shed for the livestock.

I paid a lot of money to buy it back, but I can't let it freeze to death.
In three days, the small farmyard changed drastically. Uncle Wang, a mason, built a kang with red bricks in the three bedrooms, and after a few more days, people could live in it.

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

"Uncle Wang has left?"

"Ah."

The host was laying red bricks around the cellar at this time, and the cold weather made him sweat a little on his forehead.

"I asked 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 raise some poultry."

Meat is a must have!

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 laughed dumbfoundedly.

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

"Just do it."

There are fishing tools and fishing nets in her space, so I don't believe that I can't catch fish.

Both husband and wife have extraordinary strength, and the cellar was built very quickly, and it was square enough to store a lot of things.

"Put in the cabbage and radish first, and place each one vertically, so it's more convenient to eat."

There are few vegetables in winter, so Cheng Xi bought as many as possible, including pumpkins, winter melons, and scallions. In order to enrich the variety, he also bought several hundred catties of mung beans and soybeans.

In winter, grow bean sprouts by yourself, which can be fried and eaten in hot pot, which is perfect.

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

Shen Xingluo heard the words and placed them in the cellar one by one, knowing Cheng Xi a little more in his heart.

He could tell that the only thing his little wife cared about was food.

Shen Xingqi found Cheng Xi early the next morning.

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

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

"Then I'll go get ready!"

The little girl quickly walked up to her with a package. Cheng Xi glanced at the finished screen and praised her so much that she bowed her head and blushed.

Sigh~ With such a thin skin, you need to boast more.

The first step to becoming a woman is to have a thick skin!

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

"Brother took it away, isn't it sister-in-law that you use?"

Cheng Xi: "???"

I suspect that your brother has someone outside.

real.

 Cheng Xi: I suspect you have someone outside.

  666: It's me, it's me, it's me!The most handsome and most powerful leader in the entire interstellar!
