Chapter 59, Meeting Shen Duowang Again
Although he was older than Huzi in his heart, Shu Xin had already gone to the countryside to do as the Romans did, so there was really no pressure to call someone out at this moment.

"Thank you, Sister Ah Xin!" Hu Zi took the cloth towel carefully.

It's new, and it still smells like saponins, which is very nice.

"Just call me Ah Xin, Hu Zi, hurry up and wash up, I'll wait for you to eat together!"

Tiger nodded.

Wash your face and hands quickly.

Looking at the dark water in the basin, Hu Zi blushed suddenly.

Shu Xin smiled, "I'll help Brother Hu Zi fetch a basin of water again!"

"Okay, okay, thank you!"

Hu Ziying stammered, but he could feel Shu Xin's kindness.

Just because it is so good, I will remember it for a lifetime.

No one can match it and remember it for a lifetime!

After Huzi finished washing, Shu Xin took the cloth towel in his hand and hung it on the shelf beside him, "I put this cloth towel here, brother Huzi will wash it when he comes next time!"

"Ok!"

"Let's go, let's go eat. My mother steamed pumpkin buns today, stewed potatoes with pork ribs, and cooked cowpea porridge. Brother Huzi will eat more later!"

"Ok!"

When the two arrived in the main room, cauliflower, scallion, and bean curd shouted together, "Brother Huzi!"

"Huzi, sit down and eat!" Liu yelled.

Huzi sat down shyly, took the chopsticks and carried the bowl to eat mung bean soup. After eating mung bean soup, Liu Shi put two big steamed buns in front of him, and kept picking ribs for him, "Eat more!"

"Thank you, auntie!"

Huzi hasn't had enough to eat for several days.

He also came to Shu Xin's house on the day he moved in, had a hard meal, and then ate soup and water until today.

"Hurry up and eat!" Liu whispered softly.

Keep adding vegetables to Huzi.

Shu Xin's sisters are very delicate.

After eating, Hu Zi burped, Liu smiled softly, and put some steamed buns, pork ribs and yams in a large clay pot, and put them on the back, "You take these cooked ones back to you first. Grandpa, grandma, come quietly after dark at night, and I will bring you some rice and flour to take home!"

"Auntie!" Hu Zi called out in a low voice.

Mrs. Liu nodded slightly, "Huzi, don't blame Auntie for being too careful, after all, life is hard, and Auntie's family is all women, so it's always better to be careful!"

"Auntie, I understand, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense!" Hu Zi repeatedly assured.

"Auntie believes you, go back quickly!"

"Ok!"

Watching Huzi leave, Liu sighed slightly.

"Mom!" Shu Xin called out in a low voice.

"Is something wrong?"

"Mom, I won't go to cut calamus in the afternoon. I will go to the bamboo strip maker's house to order some things first. The weather is getting hotter every day. We have to replace it with bamboo mats. We also need to buy bamboo chairs and other miscellaneous things!"

Mrs. Liu nodded, and said seriously, "Speaking of which, our family's things are indeed a little thin. Before, we didn't have any money, and we just made do with it. Now that we have more money, we really have to buy what we need, even if we don't have any money in the future. Money, you can live frugally, what do we need to buy together? Let cauliflower go with you!"

"it is good!"

The whole family sat in the hall together, and there were quite a lot of things to buy. Shu Xin and Liu didn't know the price, but these things were not expensive. Liu thought about it seriously, "One tael of silver should be enough. !"

Shu Xin nodded, "Then bring a tael of silver first, not enough for the next delivery, or when they deliver something!"

"Row!"

Now that the discussion was made, Shu Xin took the cauliflower and went out to the bamboo strip maker's house.

There is no bamboo craftsman in Shujia Village, but there is one in Luojia Village. They should be willing to marry Zhuo. The men in the family can do it, and even the girls can do some simple weaving. is excellent.

When I arrived at Luojia Village, I asked for the address and found the home of the Luo bamboo strip maker.

The home of Luo Bamboo Tapper is easy to find, there are a lot of bamboos piled up at the door.

"Is anyone home?" Shu Xin called out from the door.

"Who are you looking for?" A man asked and walked over.

"We are from Shujia Village next door. We are here to do some shopping!" Shu Xin briefly explained the purpose of his visit.

"You guys are here to buy things, come in quickly, I'll call my mother!" The man said, and then he yelled into the room, "Mom, someone is shopping!"

"Come on!"

Soon a chubby woman came out, about 50 or [-] years old, well dressed and clean.

He smiled and asked, "You two want to buy something?"

"Correct!"

"What do you want to buy?"

"Can I take a look first?"

"Okay, come with me, everything is in the backyard, I'll show you slowly!"

"Thank you ma'am!"

Backyards are indeed many things.

Dustpan, sunning mat, rice sieve, coarse-hole sieve, sunning mat, bamboo basket, bamboo rake, back bamboo basket, bamboo fan, bamboo chair, bamboo stool.

"These are all rough, and the fine ones are in the house, such as bamboo mats, bamboo pillows, bamboo boxes, and bamboo beds!"

Shu Xin nodded and asked the prices one by one.

After a lot of calculations in my heart, I said everything I wanted to buy.

"So many!"

"En!" Shu Xin nodded.

"I want three dustpans, three sacks, three drying mats, three bamboo rakes, three coarse sieves, five bamboo baskets, one of each size of the shuntpan, five bamboo baskets, six bamboo chairs, and bamboo stools. There are also six, and there are bamboo mats, I brought the size here!"

The woman thought for a while, and carefully calculated, "Like this, you really bought a lot, and the total amount is about one tael of silver. I'll give you a few more bamboo pots and brushes, and four bamboo chairs." Make up ten, what do you think?"

One tael of silver was included in the calculations of Shu Xin and Liu Shi.

"Then how about giving me two more straps? It doesn't need to be too big, just a small one!"

The woman laughed, "You child can do business, because you bought so much, just as you said, it just so happens that I have the size of your kang and bed, and other items It’s also complete, whose family in your Shujia Village? Let my boy send it to you!”

"My mother's surname is Liu!" Shu Xin said generously.

The woman paused when she heard the words, pursed her lips and said, "Oh, I see, you two go to the front room with me to have a cup of tea first, and I will ask my boy to sort it out for you and send it out, so you don't have to leave. Take my ox cart, the ox cart is very spacious!"

He spoke politely and softly.

Shu Xin could feel it, and so could cauliflower.

Followed to the main room in front, the woman called her little daughter to bring tea, and went to her son to tell her what to pack.

Luo Xiaoyu looked at the Shu Xin sisters, pursed her lips and smiled, put the tea in front of the two sisters, and said softly, "You guys drink tea!"

The boys of the Luo family are well-known in Conghe Town for being able to weave things. The family is very well-off, so Luo Xiaoyu naturally doesn't have to go out to show his face, but just wash and do some needlework at home.

I also have good sisters on weekdays, but they are all married and bored.

"Thank you!"

Luo Xiaoyu sat on the side and asked with a smile, "Are you sisters?"

"Well, I'm the older sister, and she's the second younger sister!" Shu Xin pointed to the cauliflower.

Cauliflower smiled at Luo Xiaoyu.

"You two sisters look a bit alike, but not quite alike, but you both look pretty!"

Shu Xin smiled.

Cauliflower also laughed.

The facial features of the two sisters are indeed similar, but Shu Xin is more confident, while Caihua is a little timid, so Shu Xin looks much brighter.

"Why are you guys out shopping? Where's your father or brother? Are they busy?" Luo Xiaoyu asked softly.

The people who come to her house to buy things are all men, and occasionally there are girls, who also come to play and join in the fun.

It was the first time a girl came shopping, so she was very curious.

"We don't have a father, nor an elder brother. I am the oldest in my family, and my mother is in confinement, so I can only go shopping!" Shu Xin said seriously.

No inferiority complex, no helplessness.

"what……"

Luo Xiaoyu covered her lips in surprise.

His face was flushed, and he stood up quickly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I really don't know, I..." I was so anxious that I was about to cry.

"It's okay, you don't need to be nervous, I don't care, and when we had a father, our lives were not as good as pigs and dogs, but now we don't have a father, and our lives are carefree!"

"what……"

Is there anything else like this?
Luo Xiaoyu was so surprised that she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Just when her mother walked in, "Everything is packed!"

"Thank you, ma'am!" Shu Xin thanked, hurriedly gave the money, took the cauliflower out of the bamboo strip maker's house, and left in a bullock cart.

Luo Xiaoyu looked at Shu Xin and Caihua who were leaving, and called softly, "Mom!"

"Ok?"

"I just said the wrong thing!" Luo Xiaoyu whispered, lowering her head, feeling extremely depressed.

"what happened?"

"It's those two sisters, I asked their father and elder brother..."

The woman paused for a while before sighing, "Don't think too much, go home!"

I don't tell my daughter about the many things, and I bought so many things this time, I won't come back for a while, and I may not be able to touch them when I come next time.

"Yeah!" Luo Xiaoyu nodded, but she remembered in her heart that when the little brother came back, he had to ask...

Shu Xin bought an ox cart and went back to Shujia Village. On the way, he met a few people from the village, said a few words and went home.

"How rich is this Mrs. Liu?"

"About the village chief who borrowed it?"

"Ah Xin's embroidery is very good. It may have been paid in advance by the shopkeeper Dai Ji. Don't forget, Ah Xin calls her godfather!"

"It makes sense!"

Seeing the children moving all their things into the house and piling up the yard, Mrs. Liu smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed.

"Brother, it seems that there are two more Shau Kei!"

"My mother said, those two Shau Kei are for you!"

"..."

Shu Xinmo.

Watching Luo's little brother leave.

Come to think of it, everyone knows about Shu'amu.

Just because I knew their identities, I sent two more Shau Kei, which was unexpected and seemed reasonable.

There are always good people in this world.

Just looking at this pile of things, Liu became worried.

Shu Xin was also worried.

Because there is no place to put it.

As a family, you look at me and I look at you, laughing wryly.

"Mom, let's build a few more houses!"

"Which way to repair?" Liu asked.

One side is leaning on my own land, and the other side is leaning on the creek. I can build a few houses on the other side of the creek, but it’s just next to the creek. Once the water is pumped, the water will be full...

"Fix it over the creek!"

"What if we fetch water?" Liu asked.

Shu Xin smiled, pulled Liu Shi to sit down, and said seriously, "It's not scary, let's dig the creek deeper, then pile up the creek near our house with stones, and dig a wide and deep ditch , I’m not afraid even if the water is full!”

Mrs. Liu thinks about it seriously. There are many girls in the family. In the past, they had no chance or skills. They couldn’t give them a house. Now that they have money, even if they repair the house, 20 taels is enough. Several girls live in one room, and the younger brother is a boy. Children, it’s okay when you are young, but you have to have your own house when you grow up.

"Then fix it, but how do we fix it? When someone asks about the origin of the money, what should we say?"

"Mother, let's just say it. Anyway, people will know sooner or later. For this money, don't say so much, how about 30 taels?" Shu Xin suggested.

If you say too much, you will be missed by thieves, but if you repair the house, you will still attract thieves.

Shu Xin decided to buy a dog, which was ferocious as an adult, especially one that could bark and bite.

"Row!"

The mothers began to discuss how to build the house. According to Shu Xin's idea, it is to build two floors, live downstairs, put some things upstairs, and put two beds.

"How many stairs does it take?"

"One is enough, and it won't be too big, just as big as the village chief's house. The yard is bigger than this one, and a small pond is dug in the backyard. Let's raise a few fish, and we don't have to worry about eating fish when we grow up." Already!"

Mrs. Liu smiled and nodded, talking about her thoughts and suggestions, "This idea is good. Since it is going to be repaired, let's repair it. In my opinion, leave some space at both ends, plant some flowers and plants in the front, and dig a pond to raise fish in the back. A few fruit trees are planted on the side, citrus, loquat, and grapes are all good. The two rooms that enter the courtyard are slender, and two more windows can be created. The room is bright, and the bed position is not easy to place. In winter, our family is crowded together, warm and saves firewood!"

"Mother, this idea is good, I agree with both hands and feet!" Shu Xin smiled and leaned into Liu's arms.

Liu Shi froze for a moment, reached out to hug Shu Xin, and tapped her forehead.

My heart is as sweet as honey.

"I agree too!"

Cauliflower, green onion, and bean curd all made a sound.

The whole family looked at each other and laughed.

"Just to repair the house, the well must be drilled first!"

"Mother, the master at the water well has not been found yet, but there is no rush, we will talk about it after confinement!"

"Listen to you!"

Shu Xin took the cauliflower and green onion to clean up. There were too many things to use now, so they put them in the back yard.

Looking at those white-haired rabbits, Shu Xin had a feeling that these rabbits didn't come from the mountains, they should be raised by someone else, otherwise they wouldn't be so gentle, they would eat grass whenever they were given.

Seeing their bulging bellies, they should have cubs.

"We have to get a few nests out quickly!"

"Eldest sister, are you talking about rabbits?" Onion asked in a low voice.

"Well, I think they may be about to give birth!" Shu Xin grabbed a rabbit based on his intuition, and touched its belly, which was swollen.

Chopped green onions sip and enjoy.

If you want to give birth, it's good, there are many rabbits, and it's all money if you sell them.

Six rabbits, six litters, not too good, but softer hay must be prepared.

Also, prepare some grass for them to eat, without dew, as eating with dew will cause diarrhea.

Shu Xin decided to go to the village, first ask who has hens to sell, how many hens to buy, and then go to the village chief's house to ask if there is any news about Shu Youren?

"Are you going to the village chief's house?" asked Liu.

"Go get the basket back!"

Mrs. Liu hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing, "Then go back early!"

"Ok!"

Shu Xin responded, and took Dou Hua out of the house.

The two sisters were holding small hands, and Douhua was giggling happily all the way, and Shu Xin also liked to make her happy.

Excluding Yaomei, Douhua is the youngest sister, and after coming from poverty all the way, Shu Xin loves Douhua the most.

When he arrived in the village, Shu Xin yelled sweetly when he saw someone, and Douhua followed suit, and the crispness was particularly painful.

"Ah Xin, where are you two sisters going?"

"Go to the village chief's house and ask who sells hens by the way. My mother wants to buy some hens!"

"How many do you want to buy?"

Shu Xin shook his head, "Auntie, my mother is at home now, why don't you go to my house and ask my mother?"

"to make!"

Her family has raised dozens of chickens, and now two broods have hatched, and she is planning to sell some of them and store them for some money.

The son wants to go to school, and the daughter's dowry needs to be bought, and money is needed everywhere.

Thinking of this, he happily went to Shu Xin's house.

Shu Xin took Dou Hua to the village chief's house.

"Sister-in-law!"

Niu looked at Shu Xin, and greeted him with a smile, "Ah Xin is here!" He touched Douhua's head again, "Our Douhua has grown flesh and a lot taller, so beautiful!"

"Sister-in-law!" Dou Hua sweetly called out.

"You're so good. Douhua comes with me, sister-in-law will give you candy!"

Together they went into the village chief's house. Niu gave Douhua two candies, called his daughter to come and play with Douhua, and then said, "Father and mother sent a message back in the morning. The fifth brother is fine. They are worried and plan to go to the county seat." have a look!"

"Fifth brother is fine!"

Niu nodded slightly.

Thinking of her second younger sibling, Mrs. Zhang, who heard that she had gone to the county seat, her face was not very good, and she took her two daughters back to her mother's house. Niu sighed in her heart, and did not dare to say more.

Zhang's natal brothers are reliable, smart and capable, and they can go back if they want, but she dare not.

"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid I won't be able to embroider the screen that I promised you for a while!"

Niu sneered, "Do you really think I want your screen? Your elder brother said that you want to be strong, and if you really give you so many things for free, you definitely don't want it. That's why I made such an excuse. Don't take it to heart, Ann Live your life with peace of mind, and embroider for me someday when you are free. To put it bluntly, I really care about the things you embroider, they look so good, they are as real as they are!"

"I remember it. When I have free time, I will embroider it for my sister-in-law. I will embroider a piece of Wenquxing descending to earth, put it in Xiaotian's room, and become a high official in the future!"

"Hee hee hee, this is good, this is good!"

The two talked about other things for a while, the sky was getting darker, and Shu Xin planned to go home.

"You wait, I'll get you a basket!"

He took two more loofahs and two cucumbers for Shu Xin, "Our mothers are the only ones at home, and we can't finish them all, so you can take them home and eat!"

"Thank you sister-in-law!"

Niu smiled and sent Shu Xin out of the house.

Seeing Sister Shu Xin go away, he called his daughter into the house and closed the yard door.

Shu Xin led Douhua home, but saw Shen Duowang walking towards the mountain with a bow and arrow on his back, Shu Xin quickly shouted, "Uncle, uncle..."

 Shen Duowang: It's so hot today, it's easy to suffer from heatstroke, the author asks Shu Youren to be a dog!

  Shu Youren: Don't want me, I can live to the finale and even the episode!

  Author: Don't make any noise, if you make any more noise, you'll be taken away, and Chu Jun will be the one!

  Chu Jun: Da Da is great, Da Da I love you!
  Shu Xin: I'll just watch and not talk!
