Chapter 79, After Uncle Becomes Big Brother
Huzi and Goudan beat each other for a while, and when the chestnut thorns on the trees were knocked off, Shu Xin and the others started to pick them up.

Shu Xin took out simple gloves.

That is to say, two layers of cloth, with some cotton in the middle, wrap the thorn so that the thorn cannot reach the palm of the hand, and can pinch it accurately.

They picked up one by one and threw them into sacks, and those with openings were thrown into the back sacks, and the chestnuts that fell on the ground were picked up and put in other sacks.

Although Dai Zhenzhu is spoiled and spoiled, she is very serious in doing things, she will find every corner of the chestnut, and she will not let go of a standard one.

If it is too heavy, call Huzi to go and get it once.

In a short while, there will be a sack of chestnuts, not to mention the piles of chestnut thorns.

Goudan also picked up a lot, but he still put them together with Shu Xin and the others, waiting for the tigers to share them with him.

Give as much as you want.

If he was asked to search in the mountains, he would never find a chestnut tree, and even if he found one, someone would take it away.

Several people picked it up carefully first, and then walked again, all of them were hungry, so hungry.

So he sat on the ground, took out steamed buns and pickles, and ate them hungrily.

Who still remembers being delicate at this moment, Dai Zhenzhu also ate with great mouthfuls, "I have never thought steamed buns are so delicious!"

Shu Xin smiled and handed her the water.

Dai Zhenzhu took a sip, "Ah Xin, what did you put?"

"A little salt and sugar, is it good?"

"Delicious!"

"There is nothing here, this one with added sugar and salt can quickly replenish energy!" Shu Xin explained.

Dai Zhenzhu seemed to understand, and took a few more sips.

After eating the steamed buns, Huzi was about to go to work, but Shu Xin stopped him, "Take a break first!"

"But..." Huzi looked at the pile of chestnut thorns.

"Working just after eating is not good for your health, take a break before you talk, it's not too late!"

Goudan remained silent and continued eating steamed buns.

Shu Xin's steamed buns are really delicious, sweet and fluffy, and the pickles are also delicious.

Seeing that there were five steamed buns in the big clay pot, and pickles in the bowl, Goudan wondered if he could eat another one?
But everyone didn't eat, and he was embarrassed to continue eating.

"Dog Dan, do you want steamed buns?" Shu Xin asked.

"Ah, good!"

Shu Xin took another steamed bun to Goudan, Goudan took a bite, bowed his head and secretly smiled.

After eating lunch and resting for a while, I was ready to work, but I heard footsteps.

Huzi suddenly became nervous, holding a hatchet and watching the man walk in.

Shen Duowang?
"Uncle Shen?" Shu Xin called out in a low voice.

Shen Duowang nodded, "I heard a voice not far away to come over to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be you!"

Speaking of panic, Shen Duowang didn't blush at all.

Dai Zhenzhu looked at Shen Duowang.

Uncle Shen?
last night……

Looking at Shu Xin again, Dai Pearl didn't say anything.

Shu Xin stood up and said enthusiastically, "Is Uncle Shen hunting in the mountains? Has Uncle Shen had lunch yet? I still have a few steamed buns here, can Uncle Shen just eat it?"

Shen Duowang was extremely happy in his heart.

With a calm face, he nodded, "Okay!"

Throwing a few nested pheasants to the ground, a few pheasants immediately crowed.

The cauliflower and green onion looked at each other, and seemed to understand something instantly, but they didn't say anything.

Turn around and peel the chestnuts.

Dai Zhenzhu also sat next to the cauliflower and green onion, helping to pick out the knocked chestnuts and put them into the sack.

He glanced at the man who was sitting eating steamed buns and pickles after finishing speaking, and then looked at Shu Xin who was knocking chestnuts as if nothing had happened.

They should be fine, she must have misheard Uncle Shen last night.

Shen Duowang ate up the four steamed buns and the remaining pickles.

Shu Xin took water and handed it to Shen Duowang, "Uncle, drink water!"

"Thank you!"

Shen Duowang took the bamboo tube and took a sip.

But I found that the water was a little salty and a little sweet. I thought I had eaten something wrong, so I took another sip, and it still tasted the same.

Shen Duowang didn't say much, continued to drink, and asked casually, "Can you take back so many chestnuts?"

"I can't take it, I plan to do it again tomorrow!" Shu Xin lowered his head and replied.

"I just want to go down the mountain, help you get some?"

Shu Xin looked up at Shen Duowang, "Okay, then I'll treat uncle to dinner!"

"Row!"

Cauliflower and green onion are silent.

They are grateful to Shen Duowang.

Dai Pearl thinks more.

Just this five-year-old and three-year-old, still so old, a scar on his face is really ugly, and he smells like sweat.

Does Ah Xin like this?

But Ah Xin called him uncle, could it be that she was really wrong?
After working for a long time, a lot of chestnut thorn balls, several sacks of chestnuts, and the back are full.

Most of the chestnuts were packed in sacks. Shen Duowang cut down a tree and hung the sacks at both ends.

The backs of the girls in Shu Xin are full of thorn balls. Looking at the backs, they are actually very light.

Huzi carried a back of chestnuts and a bag of thorn balls.

Goudan is also a bag of chestnuts and a bag of thorn balls.

For the remaining six sacks of thorn balls, Shen Duowang divided them into two parts, three bags at one end, and four bags at one end with the addition of smooth chestnuts.

"..."

"..."

"..."

This strength.

Not to mention that the girls from Shu Xin were stunned, even the idiots opened their mouths wide in shock.

This is too great!
Shen Duowang walked all the way down the mountain, and met many people on the road. Shen Duowang never talked much, and he didn't talk too much when facing other people's comments.

But Huzi had to explain.

"Uncle Shen saw that we picked up a lot of chestnuts, so he helped us pick them home!"

"You guys are lucky to pick up so many chestnuts!"

Huzi smiled.

Many do not speak.

As for where the chestnut tree is, as long as Goudan doesn't tell me, no one will be able to find it.

It is impossible for Goudan to speak out.

All the way up and down the mountain, Shu Xin was fine, but Dai Zhenzhu couldn't hold on anymore, so Huzi took Dai Zhenzhu's back strap and let Dai Zhenzhu go away empty-handed.

"Thank you, Brother Huzi!"

"You're welcome!"

Huzi whispered, secretly delighted.

Shen Duowang walked the fastest, but when the group reached the foot of the mountain, it was getting dark.

Fortunately, the road is relatively large, and you can still see clearly. Goudan went home directly, and Huzi went to Shu Xin's house.

Mrs. Liu had already prepared dinner and looked at it several times at the door. Douhua and her two dogs were waiting at the door. The third grandpa was smoking dry cigarettes, afraid that his younger brother and younger sister would choke, so he sat outside the yard.

It's just that little thought, how can I hide it from Liu Shi and the third grandma.

"He's worried about the children, he won't come back after dark!"

Liu Shi is not worried.

The soy milk in the pot is almost cold.

"Should be back soon, maybe there are more chestnuts, so I'm coming back late!"

The third grandma nodded.

I won't say much.

"Mother, big sister and the others are back!" Douhua yelled outside, and ran over happily with the two dogs.

When seeing Shen Duowang, Douhua was stunned, but sweetly called out, "Uncle!"

Uncle again...

Shen Duowang took a deep breath in his heart, and Shu Xin and the others had to change their words.

The third grandpa and the third grandma didn't recognize Shen Duowang, but they saw Shen Duowang carrying eight sacks, and after a moment of astonishment, they quickly said, "Old lady, Mrs. Xin, quickly take out the baskets!"

The third grandmother laughed, "What kind of basket do you take, put it on the ground first, and we will talk about it tomorrow, let the children wash up first, drink a bowl of soy milk, and then have dinner!"

"It is also!"

The third grandma immediately scooped hot water from the pot and asked Dai Zhenzhu to wash first.

At this moment, Dai Zhenzhu felt that her legs were not her own, and her arms were sore. After washing her hands and face in the basin, she walked to the side of the chair and sat down, and she didn't want to move anymore.

Dai Zhenzhu also laughed when she heard cauliflower and chopped green onion in the kitchen yelling for soy milk.

Shu Xin fetched water to wash Shen Duowang's hands, then quickly entered the room, and after a while took out a cloth towel and handed it to Shen Duowang, "Uncle Shen!"

"This, for me?"

"That's right, brother Huzi, the third grandpa, and the third grandma also have them!" Shu Xin said, pointing to the rope under the eaves of the kitchen, on which several cloth towels were hung.

"Thank you!" Shen Duowang took it and washed it slowly. There was a faint scent of saponins on the cloth towel.

There's more of a hint of warmth.

Dai Zhenzhu watched and smiled.

A bowl of soy milk was handed to her, she looked up and saw that it was Hu Zi, and reached out to take it, "Thank you, brother Hu Zi!"

"You're welcome!" Hu Zi responded and hurried away.

Dai Zhenzhu took a sip from the bowl, it was sweet and delicious.

"Sister Pearl, so you have it!" Cauliflower asked in amazement, and after thinking about it, she suddenly realized, "Brother Huzi brought it to you!"

Take the one in your hand to Shen Duowang, "Uncle Shen drinks soy milk!"

"Thank you!"

Cauliflower smiled, turned around and left quickly.

To be honest, she was afraid of Shen Duowang.

Especially afraid of the scars on Shen Duowang's face, and also afraid of Shen Duowang's strength.

Dinner was still served on the stone table in the yard, and because Liu Shi had an extra Shen Duowang, he fried eggs with leeks.An Egg Broccoli Soup.

Add up to six or seven dishes, enough to eat.

A bowl of white rice for each person, and some wine for Shen Duowang and the third grandpa.

The third grandpa liked Shen Duowang very much. He asked Shen Duowang's age and found out that he was only 24 years old. He also learned that Shen Duowang was from Shenjia Village.

"You can't call someone Uncle, you have to call Brother Shen!"

Shen Duowang suddenly felt that the third grandpa was really kind, and couldn't help but toast the third grandpa again.

"Brother Shen!" Hu Zi called out first.

Shu Xin, cauliflower, green onion, and bean curd also shouted.

Dai Zhenzhu also called softly, "Brother Shen!"

"Well, are you going to pick chestnuts in the mountains tomorrow? I know a place where there are chestnuts. Do you want to take you there?" Shen Duowang asked.

"Okay, I don't know if it's far away?" Shu Xin asked.

"It's farther than today's Ken!"

Shu Xin nodded and looked at Dai Zhenzhu, "Sister Zhenzhu will rest at home tomorrow!"

"it is good!"

Dai Zhenzhu also knew how many catties and taels she had, so she didn't go. If she really wanted to go, she didn't know if she could come back.

Or rest for two days.

After dinner, Shen Duowang wanted to have a few words with Shu Xin, but Shu Xin was so busy that he didn't have time to pay attention to him.

Then he got up and said goodbye.

"Brother Shen, your pheasant!" Shu Xin reminded.

"No need, now I live alone in the mountains, and I can't eat, so let's make some stew for you!" Shen Duowang turned around and left after finishing speaking.

Shu Xin chased him out, but he had already gone a long way.

"Big sister..." Caihua walked to Shu Xin and called out.

"Why does he live on the mountain? Doesn't he have a home? Why doesn't he go home?" Shu Xin whispered puzzled.

Cauliflower shook her head.

How would she know?
"Why don't you ask the third grandpa?"

Shu Xin nodded.

Back in the yard, I asked the third grandpa. The third grandpa thought for a while before saying, "He went to join the army in the early years, and then he came back. The family also built a new house and bought a field. It's just that he has a scar on his face and can't speak much. , plus someone said he was injured..."

It's not easy to talk about that place, especially the girls from Shu Xin. The third grandpa changed the saying, "If you hurt your body, you can't get a wife all the time, so you have been dragging it down!"

Cauliflower doesn't know where it hurts.

But Shu Xin understood.

It must have hurt his lifeline, so no one wants to follow him.

Poor Brother Shen, he is so nice...

Shu Xin didn't say much, just looked at the few pheasants, "Let's keep it for now, call him tomorrow, mother, let Shen... Big brother have a meal!"

From Uncle Shen to Brother Shen, I'm still not used to it.

Mrs. Liu nodded, "Okay, then I'll lock it up in the backyard first, kill it tomorrow afternoon, use it to stew chestnuts in the evening, steam it with steamed buns, and have a delicious meal!"

"it is good!"

Huzi, the third grandpa, and the third grandma went back slowly.

Shu Xin brought hot water for Dai Zhenzhu to wash first, and then wiped her hair.

Dai Zhenzhu leaned against Shu Xin's arms and sighed in enjoyment, "It's really comfortable!"

"You're exhausted today!"

"It's okay, but I'm really tired. I won't be able to walk tomorrow!"

Shu Xin laughed, "Then rest at home, you are here as a guest, how can we ask you to follow us into the mountains to endure hardships!"

"It's not bitter, but it's very interesting, you know? Since I was a child, I've never done heavy work. I embroider at home and I haven't even cooked. But I'm not happy because I'm too restrained!" Dai Pearl said, sighing, "But today is very happy, I can laugh, I can walk with big strides, I can eat steamed buns, drink water, don't need to be so deliberate, Ah Xin, you know? I was very deliberate, saying that you are a lady who does not show her feet, smiles without showing her teeth, every time she sees me, she has to point and point, I especially don't like to go back, and my mother doesn't like to go, but sometimes I can't do it!"

Shu Xin gently combed Dai Pearl's hair.

Listen to her quietly.

"However, although they married very well, they didn't live a good life. I will definitely marry a man who likes me and I like him in the future. In this life, he will only be me, just like my father treats my mother. Wife, love, love, love, a couple for life!" Dai Zhenzhu said, and suddenly asked Shu Xin, "Ah Xin, what about you? What kind of person do you want to marry?"

"me……"

"Yes, tell me, what kind of man do you like?!"

"Gentle, affectionate, literate and let me continue to help the family, the most important thing is to respect me!"

The main thing is respect.

There is no tenderness and affection without respect.

Dai Zhenzhu smiled, yawned, reached out and stroked her hair, "Go wash it, I'll go to sleep after sitting for a while!"

"it is good!"

Shu Xin took a quick shower, and the sisters sat in the yard, enjoying the cool breeze, and waited for their hair to dry before returning to the house to sleep.

Dai Zhenzhu originally wanted to sleep with Shu Xin, but she was afraid that she was not dreaming last night. The bean curd is small and soft, but it fits her mood of wanting a little sister very well, and it is even more heartwarming to hold.

Shu Xin, cauliflower, and green onion were all very tired, and fell into a deep sleep as soon as they touched the bed.

Let alone the delicate little girl Dai Zhenzhu.

Shen Duowang returned to the small wooden house on the mountain, walked around the house alone, found the clothes Shu Xin made for him, took the shoes and went to the stream to bathe.

The deep mountains in early autumn were a bit cold, and the stream was even colder. Shen Duowang took off his clothes, jumped down, soaked in the water for a while, and then scrubbed vigorously with the saponins. He even washed his hair two or three times before climbing ashore. Put on your clothes and shoes and walk slowly towards the cabin.

The things in the cabin are very simple, a wooden bed, a back cushion, a pillow and a quilt on the bed, a coir raincoat and a coir rain cap hanging in the corner, a big bow and sharp arrows, a machete, and a wooden barrel filled with hemp. rope, and the tank on one side is filled with polished rice.

A grass shed was built outside the house, and underneath was a simple stove, with only one pot, all rusted.

Shen Duowang entered the room and sat cross-legged on the bed.

Thinking of the way Shu Xin called him Big Brother Shen.

He squeezed his throat and shouted, "Brother Shen!"

He murmured again calmly, "Ah Xin!"

With his hands crossed behind his head, he lay down on the bed. Looking at the wooden roof, Shen Duowang thought, if he should build a house next to Shu Xin’s house, and then live in Shu’s Village, he would be considered ugly if he was older. Well, Shu Xin should agree to marry him too!
Thinking of this, Shen Duowang turned over and thought about something.

It's just that I can't repair the house myself, I have to entrust someone to do it.

When the house is repaired, let Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong's family come and live there first, and after he and Shu Xin get married, find a chance to move in again.

Thinking about having more children in the future...

Thinking of the child, he couldn't help thinking of Shu Xin's thin arms and legs, and he thought about it more for no reason. Shen Duowang stretched out his hand to rub his itchy nose, and it was a little wet, and it turned out to be a nosebleed.

Shen Duowang hurriedly sat up, frantically looking for the handkerchief...

With this tossing, the sky is about to dawn.

Shen Duowang didn't plan to eat anything either, so he went to see the chestnut tree first, and saw that it was full of fruit and there were a lot of chestnuts on the ground, so he left the mountain with satisfaction, and waited for Shu Xin and the others at the branch road in the middle of the mountain.

Mrs. Liu got up to make breakfast, and wanted her daughters to sleep longer. In fact, according to her idea, the family also has money, so why go to the mountains to be busy, but Shu Xinfei refused to listen, and must go to the mountains to find something to eat. She could only let it go, seeing how tired and paralyzed they were, and feeling distressed, she simply did a better job of eating.

When the food here was ready, Shu Xin, cauliflower, and chopped green onion woke up in a daze, yawned, and had breakfast after washing up.

Liu Shi looked at Rou Rou and said, "Why don't you go today?"

"Mother, Big Brother Shen made an agreement with us, why don't you go? We're going today. Let's rest for two days before going!" Shu Xin yawned again.

I am really tired.

"Okay then, come back early and memorize less, there are already so many at home, you can't finish them all!"

"Ok!"

After breakfast, he went out of the house with steamed buns and pickles on his back, and brought breakfast for the tiger, and after the tiger had eaten, he brought dog eggs and cow eggs.

Walk towards the mountains.

But he didn't want to be blocked by Shu Youren.

"Ah Xin..." Shu Youren called softly, his eyes were red and he looked like he was about to cry.

"Fifth brother, why are you here?"

Shu Youren sniffed, "I want to go into the mountains with you!"

"..."

Cauliflower and green onion looked at each other in blank dismay.

Dog eggs and cow eggs go into the mountains from time to time, so they don't need to be taken or managed.

This fifth brother...

"Does Auntie know?" Shu Xin asked.

"My mother knows, and my mother agrees that I will be with you!"

Shu Xin didn't believe this.

Given how much the Yuan family valued Shu Youren, it was impossible for Shu Youren to follow him into the mountain, and it would take a day to go there.

"I'll go ask Auntie with you!" Shu Xin asked Hu Zi and the others to wait a while, followed Shu Youren to his house, and asked Yuan Shi what he meant.

 Shu Youren: I didn't expect you to be like Shen Duowang. Ah Xin treats you as an uncle, but you want to marry Ah Xin as his wife. Treat me as a dead person!

  Shen Duowang: Anyway, you don't have many days to live!

  Shu Youren: The author's salary, Shen Duowang bullied me, woo woo...

  Author's salary: none of my business!
