Chapter 71, big brother please come inside
Fast forward to the beginning of August.

The weather is not so hot, and Shu Xin's embroidery work is almost half done, just finishing every corner.

These days, embroidering day and night, Shu Xin wished he could finish the embroidery quickly. He didn't plan to touch embroidery work for the next six months, and even if he did, he had to do it slowly.

But in the current situation at home, it is good to save more money.

August 14th was Shu Xin's thirteenth birthday, and if he gave his birthday, he would be [-] years old.

Before Shu Xin got up, Liu's boiled eggs and longevity noodles were brought into the house.

Looking at her sleeping daughter, Liu felt distressed and pitied, but more satisfied.

Smelling the fragrance, Shu Xin sat up, rubbed his eyes in a daze, looked at Liu Shi and shouted, "Mom?"

"Wake up, eat the eggs and noodles!"

"Huh?" Shu Xin was puzzled.

Liu Shi reached out to touch Shu Xin's face, "Silly boy, today is your birthday, have you forgotten?"

"what……"

She really forgot.

Mrs. Liu laughed, "Get up quickly, cauliflower and the others have brought you water!"

After Liu's words fell, cauliflower, chopped green onion, and bean curd came in carrying basins, cloth towels, and mouthwash, followed by two much bigger reunion and peace.

The female one is called Tuanyuan, and the male one is called Ping An.

These two dogs ate smooth and smooth, sticking out their tongues and smiling, and they looked like they were loved and grown up.

"Sister, happy birthday!"

The three younger sisters spoke in unison, even barking for Tuanyuan and Pingan, which was very appropriate for the occasion.

Shu Xin smiled and got up, "Mom, I'll do it myself!"

Washing his face and rinsing his mouth, under the watchful eyes of his family, Shu Xin ate eggs and longevity noodles. Liu Shi pulled Shu Xin and combed Shu Xin's hair.

"Mom, can you help me comb my hair every year from now on?"

Liu's eyes turned red immediately, "Nonsense, you're going to get married after two years!"

"Then I won't marry!"

"That can't be done!" Liu Shi said with certainty.

She gave Shu Xin two braids.

Children in the countryside don't dress up so fancy.

The braided red headband is already excellent.

Complimenting the new clothes and shoes, Shu Xin smiled very happily, and since he hadn't sunbathed these days, his whole body became much fairer, the food was good, and his appearance was even better.

"Sister, a birthday present for you!"

"I have that too!"

"Sister, I have it too!"

The three younger sisters all gave purses. The cauliflower and chopped green onion are better for needlework and look better.

Being so cherished by family members, what a little bit of hardship and tiredness is nothing!
"Thank you!" Shu Xin hugged them one by one, giggling giggly.

Mrs. Liu shook her head and laughed, "Okay, Caihua invites the third grandpa and the others to come over for lunch, and let's kill a rabbit at noon!"

"Great!"

The rabbits at home have already been born, and now there are more than 40 of them in total, and each one is very fat.

Fortunately, Mrs. Liu can clean up, and there is no bad smell in the backyard.

Shu Xin didn't expect Dai Zhenzhu to come, and brought a lot of dishes, including fish, meat, and chicken.

Now the family has the most vegetables, corn can be used to cook bone soup, and boiled edamame.

"Godfather, godmother, sister Pearl!"

"Sister Ah Xin!"

Shu Xin was also very happy to see Dai Zhenzhu, and the two went into the house to see Shu Xin's embroidery work. Mrs. Dai helped Liu's cooking, and the third grandma was in charge of lighting the fire. Shopkeeper Dai and the third grandpa were up and down. busy.

Dai Zhenzhu looked at Shu Xin's embroidery and was amazed, "It's so beautiful, Ah Xin, I want to stay at your house and learn from you!"

"Okay, I'm afraid godfather and godmother won't let it go!"

"Even if my parents don't want me to stay, Ah Xin, you must not despise me for being stupid!"

"how come!"

The two were talking in a low voice, and Shu Xin embroidered for a while to show to Dai Zhenzhu.

Dai Zhenzhu immediately admired her very much.

Carefully taking out the birthday gift he gave to Shu Xin, it was a gold hairpin.

Shu Xin has been here for more than half a year, and this is the first time he has seen Jin Zi.

"This is a wish from my parents and me, Ah Xin, I wish you a happy birthday, and hope that our sisters will be together on your birthday every year next year, the year after, and the year after that!"

Shu Xin's eyes were flushed, "Sister Pearl is eccentric, why isn't your birthday?"

"Well, my birthday is in winter, but it's cold, why don't you go to town?"

"Go, I will definitely go, when is sister Pearl's birthday? Our whole family will go then!"

"Then you must come, this year I will be Jiji!"

Dai Zhenzhu's birthday was Dongyue 29, Shu Xin firmly remembered it in his heart.

There are more than a dozen dishes for lunch, with a combination of meat and vegetables, which is quite rich.

Shopkeeper Dai brought the rescuer, Shu Xin poured the wine himself, toasted shopkeeper Dai, the third grandpa, the third grandma, and Mrs. Dai, and then said to Liu carefully, "Mother, I respect you, thank you for letting me When I came to this world, I will honor you well in the future!"

Immediately, Liu's eyes turned red, he drank lightly, and greeted everyone to eat. Shu Xin had a very happy birthday.

Today is also Shen Duowang's birthday.

I built a wooden house in the mountains, and it was a bit lonely to live in, so I went for a dart trip and earned dozens of taels of silver.

He returned to Shen's house in a dusty suit.

Parents didn't feel happy when they saw him, and no one remembered his birthday today.

"The third child is back, where have you been these days? Have you made money? The family can't get rid of the pot. If you have money, take it out!"

Shen Duowang quietly watched his old lady open and close her mouth to talk about money, then entered the house, packed her clothes, turned around and left.

"I said, where are you going?" Shen Li asked hurriedly.

Shen Duowang looked at her silently.

Thinking maybe she can remember that today is his birthday.

"I said, third child, the family has no money, so please give me some money!"

"Heh!" Shen Duowang sneered, and walked away.

Shen Lishi looked at Shen Duowang without saying a word, and without giving money, she opened her mouth and cursed, "You bastard, don't come back if you have the guts!"

Shen Duowang paused when he heard the words, turned his head to look at the scolding old lady, turned around and walked faster.

If you don't want to go to other places, then go to the mountains. You can eat a hare and roast it. It would be delicious with some wine.

Shu Xin personally sent Dai Zhenzhu's family out of the village, watched their carriage leave, and was reluctant to go home, so he just watched, then lowered his head and smiled foolishly.

It was not until the carriage could no longer be seen that he turned and walked home.

At the entrance of the village, I ran into Mrs. Wang.

"Ah Xin, what are you doing here?"

"Give it off, Auntie is going out?"

Wang's smile was so happy, "My natal brother has added a kid, I'm going to have the full moon wine!"

"Congratulations, Auntie!"

Mrs. Wang wanted to tell Shu Xin to her natal nephew, so she smiled and said, "Bring a red egg back to Ah Xin at that time!"

"Thank you, Auntie!"

"I'm not bragging. My natal brothers are all very good, especially my nephews. They are all well-educated. My eldest nephew is about to take the exam for a scholar. He's only eighteen this year!"

Shu Xin smiled, listened carefully to Wang's bragging, and then watched Wang leave.

I felt amused in my heart, but became wary again.

It's impossible for Mrs. Wang to talk about her natal nephew properly, and even her age. Could it be that Mrs. Wang wants to be a matchmaker for her?
Thinking of this, Shu Xin broke out in a cold sweat.

But don't...

She was only fourteen, still a child, and it was too early to marry.

Thinking of this, Shu Xin couldn't help but shudder, and when he turned around to go home, he saw Shen Duowang walking towards him.

Still going fast.

At that speed, Shu Xin visually estimated that he would have to run to catch up.

He quickly straightened his clothes, twisted his body, and stood in a conspicuous position, waiting for Shen Duowang to come and say hello.

Can……

Shen Duowang glanced at her and left.

gone!

Shu Xin was taken aback.

He doesn't know her anymore?

Don't care about so many, hurried to catch up, and eagerly called, "Uncle, uncle..."

Shen Duowang didn't recognize Shu Xin anymore. After all, at that time, Shu Xin was dark and thin, and after staying at home for more than two months, he didn't bask in the sun, ate well, and was much fairer and tender, so he naturally didn't recognize Shu Xin.

But he was familiar with Shu Xin's voice, and only Shu Xin could call him uncle so crisply.

Stopping, looking at a pink dress with two braids, regular facial features, bright eyes, small pink lips, and a small face the size of a palm, it is very pleasing to look at.

"Uncle!" Shu Xin shouted happily.

He sighed to himself how lucky he was, he hadn't gone out for a long time, but he ran into him as soon as he went out.

The smile is sweet and true.

Shen Duowang felt that the smile was dazzling, and responded lightly, "Yeah!"

It was his birthday today, and he was so angry when he went home, now he saw a pink and tender girl who called him uncle crisply, so he wanted to hear her say a few words.

After all, he went to the mountains, and he was alone again.

"Uncle, where are you going? Are you still going into the mountains at this late hour? There are wolves in the mountains, it's very dangerous!" Shu Xin asked several questions eagerly.

Shen Duowang was silent.

He doesn't know how to communicate with people.

There are some things that I have to say to Chu Jun, otherwise Chu Jun will be calculated.

"Uncle, can you go to my house? I have something for you, and, last time you helped us, I want to treat you to a meal!" Shu Xin said, looking up at Shen Duowang.

This man is so tall.

She had grown taller in the past two months, but standing in front of him, she was really an adult and a child.

Shen Duowangmo.

Want to say no, but curious about what she's going to give him?
No matter what Shu Xin gives, the meaning given today is different.

"Uncle?"

Shu Xin called out.

Shen Duowang remained silent.

"Uncle, do you have something to hide? Don't worry, my mother is very reasonable. She also said that she would like to thank you very much. My house is still under construction. It's not what it used to be, so I guarantee you a place to sit and eat! "Shu Xin eagerly persuaded.

Shen Duowang looked down at Shu Xin, watching her chattering in her small mouth.

In the past, he was most annoyed by people talking non-stop in front of him, but today he finds it very pleasant.

It is as sweet as a lark singing on a branch.

I swallowed the rejection that came to my mouth several times.

Swallowing, he grasped the rope holding the wine jar tightly in his hand, hesitated and hesitated, and then stuffed the wine jar into Shu Xin's arms.

Shu Xin quickly stretched out his arms to hug him, but was pushed back several steps by Shen Duowang.

Shen Duowang was taken aback.

He wanted to reach out to help, but Shu Xin had already stood firm, and he laughed, "Did you agree to the rescue? Uncle didn't say anything, so I accepted it as an uncle. Then I will go home first. Uncle must come." , today is my birthday!"

After Shu Xin finished speaking, he hugged the wine jar and ran, looking back at Shen Duowang and smiling while running.

Shen Duowang froze in place.

Is it her birthday today too?

How old are you?Thirteen, fourteen?
It's his 24th birthday today, so it's really a fate.

Seeing Shu Xin's figure running away, Shen Duowang slightly curled his lips, feeling better immediately.

Finally, someone was thinking about him.

It has nothing to do with all the mundane things, nothing to do with money, gold and silver, just because he once helped her.

Seeing Shu Xin go away and his figure disappear, Shen Duowang looked into the mountains and then to the place where Shu Xin had gone.

He walked firmly towards the town.

Shu Xin returned home happily, "Mother, mother!"

Mrs. Liu was making cotton-padded clothes for winter in her house. She harvested some cotton, which was only enough to make two cotton-padded clothes.

Hearing Shu Xin panting for her, he quickly put down his needle and thread, and responded to the yard, "I'm in the house!"

Shu Xin entered Liu's house with the wine jar in his arms, and couldn't hide his happiness, "Mother, I met the uncle who helped us, and invited him to come to dinner at night, I don't know if he will come, but he will I have a jar of wine, I should come!"

Shu Xin was a little uncertain.

Liu Shi was also silent, looking at Shu Xin, "Then what are you going to do?"

"No matter what, whether he comes or not, I have to prepare dinner first. Let's wait until dark. If he doesn't come, we can eat by ourselves. If he comes, it's just right!"

Seeing Shu Xin's excited face, Mrs. Liu knew that she couldn't be persuaded, and Shu Xin would not be happy if she persuaded too much.

"Then get ready!"

"Okay, mother, you can continue making clothes, I will prepare them!"

Shu Xin carried the wine jar into the kitchen and put the wine jar on the shelf.

Thinking about what to eat tonight?
The bean sprouts are pretty good. Shu Xin is planning to fry bean sprouts, cold cucumber, and stewed chicken soup. The ribs and fish sent by sister Pearl are also available, as well as sweet and sour pork ribs and steamed fish, and braised rabbit meat in soy sauce. .

Seeing that the uncle is tall, he must have a big appetite, so prepare more meals.

Shu Xin was busy killing chickens, rabbits, and fish. All three pots were set on fire. The chicken soup had to be stewed slowly, and the rabbit meat and sweet and sour pork ribs had to be cooked slowly. He was busy walking around in the kitchen by himself.

Liu Shi watched in the room, her eyes slightly lowered.

I want to ask if Shu Xin knows the identity of Shen Duowang?That man is not only the uncle she mentioned, he is in his twenties and has not yet married a wife, he is a bachelor.

She is so enthusiastic, what if people misunderstand her?Especially the appearance is not bad, the lips are red and the teeth are white and pink, Shen Duowang is an old bachelor...

Liu shook her head, telling herself not to think too much.

That Shen Duowang had helped their mothers, if it wasn't for Shen Duowang that day, they would have been drowned.

It should be repaid.

But this one makes both clothes and shoes...

Shen Duowang hurried to the town and went directly to a jewelry store.

Walking hurriedly and quickly, the whole person was sweating profusely, and his mouth was dry.

"What does this guest officer want to buy?" the shopkeeper asked.

Look carefully at Shen Duowang.

The clothes are old and dusty, and you can't tell if you have money or not, but the visitor is a guest, and it will be dark, and it is a fortune to make a deal, so he should be more polite and enthusiastic, in case it happens Woolen cloth!
"have a look!"

"Then guest officer, take a look. All my jewelry here comes from the county seat. They are beautiful, exquisite and affordable. Who do you want to give to the guest officer? Daughter-in-law? Or sister? Or mother?"

daughter in law?Shen Duowang blushed immediately, and shook his head, "Sister!"

"How old is the guest officer's girl?" the shopkeeper said, laughing, "But no matter how old the guest officer's sister is, they all like beautiful pearl flowers. I have some new products here, and I will show them to the guest officer!"

The shopkeeper took out a box from a side cabinet, and took a tray with a red cloth.

Take all the beads and jewelry in the box and put them in the tray.

"This is a pair of pearl hairpins, this is a plain silver hairpin, this plain silver bracelet has two bells on it, and these are pearl earrings..."

The shopkeeper took a lot and put them on the tray, Shen Duowang didn't even look down on them.

"Ask for the best!"

As Shen Duowang said, he was afraid that the shopkeeper would think that he had no money to fool him, so he took a money bag from his arms and threw it on the counter.

The shopkeeper suddenly laughed, "Do you want gold ones?"

"do not want!"

After thinking about it for a while, the shopkeeper realized that Shen Duowang wanted the kind of sterling silver with fine workmanship.

"Wait a minute, guest!"

After putting away everything on the counter, the shopkeeper opened the cabinet again, took out a box from the bottom, and opened it in front of Shen Duowang.

"Guest officer, take a look!"

Shen Duowang remained silent.

Looking carefully, I picked out a pair of hair ties from inside.

Most of it is silver, and there are two thin holes on the side, which are used to tie red strings.

The pattern on the hair band is very delicate, the outer ring is a circle of auspicious clouds, and the inner is a flower, the carving is lifelike, even the stamens are clear.

"this!"

"The guest officer has good eyesight. I'm not boasting about this hair tie. This pair of Cong He Jing Jing is the only one. It's also made of sterling silver. It's from the master..."

"Wrap it up!" Shen Duowang said lightly.

"it is good!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly took the silk cloth and put two red strings in it, wrapped them carefully, "It's ten taels of silver in total!"

Without saying a word, Shen Duowang took ten taels of silver from the purse to the shopkeeper, took the hair tie and left the jewelry store.

The shopkeeper's eyes widened in astonishment.

This is a rich man who doesn't even pay back the price.

The purchase price of these two rounds was only one tael or five taels of silver. He wanted to say five taels and six taels, but it was obvious that Shen Duowang liked it, so he became ruthless. Who knew that this person would not even pay back the price.

I am overjoyed.

After collecting the things and closing the shop, let the daughter-in-law make a good meal at night.

Shen Duowang bought something and came out, the sky had already darkened, Shen Duowang wanted to walk back, after thinking about it, he went to ask someone to borrow a horse.

Ride to Shujia Village.

Shu Xin was busy all afternoon, and he helped cook the cauliflower and chopped green onion for a while when he came back. When the food was ready, it was already dark, and Shu Xin was sweating all over. Seeing that Shen Duowang hadn't come yet, he hurriedly fetched water and rushed away Just pack it up and wait at the door.

It's just that no one came after waiting and waiting, Shu Xin was a little anxious.

Cauliflower, green onion, and bean curd followed Shu Xin, hesitating to speak.

I wonder if this person will not come?

Mrs. Liu was feeding Yaomei in the house, hoping that Shen Duowang would not come, but this person is just afraid of coming.

When approaching Shu's Village, Shen Duowang made the horse go faster, and when it was about to reach Shu's house, let the horse slow down.

In the dark night, he could clearly see the gate, under the faint lantern, a little girl looked forward to it.

My heart feels warm for no reason.

Gently pulled the horse's rein to let the horse go faster.

"Uncle!" Shu Xin called happily.

Shen Duowang got off his horse and nodded to Shu Xin.

Mrs. Liu walked over quickly, calling enthusiastically, "Big brother is here, Ah Xin, cauliflower, hurry up and set the meal!"

 Mrs. Liu: Big brother, please come inside!
  Shen Duowang: Mother-in-law doesn't need to be polite!
  Shu Xin: Then what is my identity?
  Shu Youren: You are my wife!
