Make a lot of money!I got rich in the year of famine

Chapter 78

"Well, I can touch it myself, don't you still have military affairs?"

"It's okay. It's okay if it's a little later. Bring the basket." Huo Yunzhou stepped into the water and bent down to touch the snails for her.

"You haven't had breakfast yet, right? Well, then I'll go back and get some for you, so you can take it with you on the way." Shen Qing felt sorry for himself, so he ran back and took two boiled eggs and a large steamed sweet potato. I ran to the back and picked a fresh lotus leaf to wrap.

The lotus leaves were originally wild. She dug some up and planted them in the creek.

Although some of the mud in their small river ditch was cleared, it was still very fertile. One lotus flower stood upright the next day, and began to sway in the wind on the third day.

Huo Yunzhou heard the footsteps, straightened up and looked, and saw her running towards him like a cheerful bird, waving her wings.

His eyes were filled with layers of warm color, like the rising sun that had just revealed a little light on the horizon.

Huo Yunzhou touched half of the basket of snails before washing his feet and going ashore.

Shen Qing handed him the lotus leaf bag, "Take it! I'm grateful to you. We don't owe each other anything."

Huo Yunzhou laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll go."

"Yeah!" Shen Qing watched him cross the creek, lead the horse, and walk onto the road.

Before Huo Yunzhou left, he did not forget to turn around and wave to her.

Shen Qing lowered his head and looked at the snails in the basket, wondering if this guy wanted to pick her up!
She is not really a 13-year-old girl. Putting the two lives together, she is over thirty. She is not old, but her heart is old.

She has no fantasies about this kind of love between young men and women, so she is extremely sober.

The way Huo Yunzhou looked at her just now clearly expressed his heartbeat.

"You brat, you're too young to date me." Shen Qing sneered, but couldn't let go of the smile on his face. After all, Governor Huo Yun was pretty good. He had to be tall and tall, and he could grow from a small soldier by himself. , when she became an officer, even if she was not moved, she could not deny his excellence.

It's hard to clean up the snails, but fortunately the water quality here is good, you just need to go back and soak them in light salt water.

It's just that everyone has to cut their buttocks, which is more troublesome.

Shen Hui got up early and went to work in the vegetable garden through the side door. When she came back covered in dew, Shen Qing had already cut half of the pot.

"Why do you want to touch a snail?"

"I didn't touch it, it was Huo Yunzhou."

"Huo Yunzhou, Old Man Huo's eldest grandson? When did he come back?"

"He had military duties last night and left early this morning. I met him at the door." Shen Qing said briefly, but Shen Hui had other thoughts.

"What a coincidence." She took off her headscarf, took off her muddy straw sandals, and leaned against the eaves. "It's quite interesting that he was in such a hurry and stopped to touch the snails for you."

Shen Qing was so smart that he couldn't understand what his sister was saying, so he changed the topic, "The Dragon Boat Festival is coming in two days. I think it's better to bring grandma and dad over one day early to celebrate the festival, and buy some incense candles and paper money. Let's go together. By laying a grave for my mother, it will be a reunion for our family."

"Can grandma agree? And so can dad?"

"Don't worry about it, I'm here! Let's pick it up today. We also have to go to the town to buy some pork and glutinous rice. There are wormwood in the forest behind the house and lemongrass growing by the water. I'll ask Huolin to chop some later. Come back, this is our first holiday alone, so we have to prepare well."

Shen Hui also beamed with joy when she heard the words, "I listen to you, make more zongzi, and give it to mother to taste."

After cleaning the snails, Shen Qing made a pot of spicy snails. When the soup was almost boiled, he filled it up and put it in a casserole. It's almost soaked and ready to eat.

"Sister, I'm going. Don't wait at noon. I'll eat in the village and then come back." Shen Qing put on a raincoat made of linoleum and a bamboo hat. He originally wanted to go barefoot, but after thinking about it, he decided not to and wore straw sandals.Uncle Huo had nothing to do at home and made up a lot, so they had no shortage of straw sandals to wear.

Shen Hui chased her out, stuffed her with two roasted sweet potatoes, and another small packet of steamed wild rabbit meat left over from last night. After thinking about it, she took two packets of dried five-spice bamboo shoots and a packet of braised peanuts. There is no food to eat when I go back, "You should take it with you, in case grandma doesn't prepare your meal!"

She wanted to say, what if grandma doesn't give you food?

The sun still showed up in the morning, but when she was on her way, the sky became overcast again, and when she was approaching Shenjia Village, the rain began to fall.

Raindrops as big as wheat grains fell on my body, but it was uncomfortable.

Xinghua Village was still the same. The whole village was shrouded in rain and fog. Because of the rain, people who had been working in the fields ran home.

And those who had gone out with their cattle and sheep hurried home with their animals.

Only the naughty children, seeing it raining, not only did not want to take shelter from the rain, but also ran out to play in the mud.

Shen Feng was definitely the leader of these little brats. There were more than a dozen boys, big and small, all surrounding him.

They sat under a big apricot tree, gathered together cross-legged, and dug mud from nowhere and shaped it into various shapes.

Shen Qing only glanced at it briefly and then passed by.

Suddenly, there was a strong wind approaching behind me, followed by a sharp pain in my arm, something falling, and then the laughter of a bunch of urchins.

Shen Qing covered his arms and turned around, and saw a bunch of brats who were disgusted by dogs, laughing forward and backward. Among them, Shen Feng laughed the most happily, with his teeth exposed.

"Who threw the mud?" She turned around and walked towards them, picking up a wooden stick from the ground.

These little kids were so thick-skinned that when they saw her coming, not only were they not afraid, but they continued to throw mud at her, make faces at her, stick out their tongues, and wiggle their buttocks.

"Shen Qing! Shen Qing! Your mother stole a man, your mother's ass is so white!" The little kid who spoke was only six or seven years old.
"Shen Qing, my mother said that you can also steal men. Where are you going to steal men? Steal one for me too!"

"Steal a man! Steal a man!"

Shen Feng sat among the boys, holding his stomach and laughing heartlessly, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Shen Qing rushed forward, without saying a word, he swung his stick and whipped the boys who yelled the most.

She was merciless, and the clothes they wore were thin, so the beatings hurt.

Several little kids were beaten so hard that they couldn't hold back for a while, and ran away with their heads in their hands.

Shen Feng also wanted to run away, but Shen Qing grabbed his ears and dragged him back. Without saying a word, he kicked him in the butt.

"I haven't beaten you for a few days, so my skin is itchy, right?"

"Sister, I was wrong, can't it be okay if I'm wrong?" Shen Feng could stretch and bend, ouch, begging for mercy.

Shen Qing didn't let go, and spanked him again and again, "Wrong? Your face is thicker than a city wall, and you can't remember it by just beating it, so I'll put a mark on your face to see if you can remember it."

She was really ruthless, Shen Feng jumped and screamed while covering his buttocks, his ear was still in the hand, he couldn't run away even if he wanted to.

When he was hurt by the beating, he cried, crying loudly.
