Chapter 96, Dai Pearl Comes Home

Yaomei looked at Shu Xin and said a few words.

Anyway, no one could understand, so Shu Xin assumed that she understood.

Putting the purse into Yaomei's hand, Yaomei shook it a few times and it fell to the ground, but Shu Xin didn't care.

Give the last purse to the younger brother.

"You can't go far without tranquility, you can't cover you without generosity, you can't embrace people without kindness, and you can't restrain you without justice. Our younger brother is a person with great ambitions. Let's call him Zhiyuan, Shu Zhiyuan!"

The little brother cried out, clutching the purse tightly,

Shu Xin smiled, hugged him and kissed him a few times, teasing her in his arms.

Cauliflower, green onion, and bean curd also opened their purses, which contained two taels of silver and a blank piece of paper.

"Sister, what do I mean by Qin?"

"Scutellaria baicalensis, a kind of Chinese herbal medicine. The root of baicalin baicalensis is used as medicine. It is bitter in taste and cold in nature. It has the effects of clearing away heat and dampness, purging fire and detoxification, stopping bleeding, and preventing miscarriage. Pneumonia, dysentery, hemoptysis, red eyes, restless fetus, high blood pressure, carbuncles, boils, etc.!"

After hearing this, Cauliflower thought about it carefully, and quickly asked, "Is it just a good medicinal material?"

"Yes!" Shu Xin nodded.

Cauliflower thought about it seriously, "Then I want this, Shu Qin, I have a name, a serious name!"

Cauliflower, no, her name is Shu Qin now.

Shu Qin looked at the words in his hand.

Shu Xin's handwriting is much more beautiful than before, and she is very serious with these words, so it is naturally better.

"I have to keep it safe!"

Shu Xin prepared a small box for them to hold things they thought were precious.

Shu Qin was overjoyed, took the oil lamp and went back to her room, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at it and giggled endlessly.

Scallion also quickly asked, "Sister, am I the same?"

"Yes, you read qi, the qi of Astragalus. There is an ancient poem that says, send each other in the mountains, and cover the firewood at dusk. Spring grass will be green next year, and the kings and grandchildren will not return. Among them, the kings and grandchildren refer to Astragalus!"

Scallion thought for a while, smiled and squinted, "Thank you, big sister, I want this!"

"Sister, what about me?" Dou Hua couldn't help asking.

"You are a beautiful woman, a quiet woman, waiting for me in the corner of the city. I love you but don't see me, scratch your head and hesitate. A quiet woman is a woman, let me take care of you. Tong cares about you, saying that she is a beautiful woman. From the herd to the catkin, Beautiful and different. The beauty of a bandit girl is the beauty of a beauty. Shu means beauty!"

"Hehehe, I like it!" Shu Shu laughed.

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the homophony of Qinqi, Shuhua.

So far, several younger sisters in the family have names.

Shu Qin, Shu Qi, Shu Shu, Shu Hua, Shu Zhiyuan.

Mrs. Liu liked it all.

I also understand what Shu Xin means.

"It's all good, Ah Xin has a heart!"

Huzi was silent for a long time before he said, "Ah Xin, why don't you get one for me too!"

Shu Xin was taken aback when he heard that.

"Why?"

"Everyone calls me Hu Zi when I go out, and I don't have a famous name. I still want to go into business in the future, so I can't keep calling me Hu Zi!"

Shu Xin smiled.

Grandpa and Grandma laughed after being stunned.

"Who says you don't have a big name? You also have a big name. It's just that when you were young, you were very cute and tiger-headed, so you were called Huzi!"

"Then what is my first name?"

"Shu Shen, be careful, this is the name given by the old patriarch back then. When you go out in the future, tell me this name!"

Huzi doesn't read much and doesn't know how to write Shen.

"Brother Huzi, I wrote it for you!" Shu Xin immediately went into the room and wrote it out.

Huzi looked at the words on the rice paper, "I've seen it before, I've seen this word before!"

At that time, it never occurred to me that this was his name.

"Thank you Ah Xin!"

Shu Xin smiled and said nothing.

In the evening, the children decided to watch the night, and there was nothing interesting about it. They just sat by the charcoal basin and ate melon seeds, peanuts, and chestnuts. Grandpa and grandma couldn’t hold back and went to bed early. Listening to the children in the main room whispering joyfully, fearing that she would deliberately lower their voices for fear of disturbing her, Liu's heart warmed.

Turned over and fell asleep.

Shu Xin drank the water, but thought of Shen Duowang, wondering how he was...

Shen Duowang returned home with a burden on his back.

Seeing that the door of the house was closed, he stretched out his hand to push it, and as expected, it was locked. He walked towards the back door of the house, walked into the yard casually, and heard voices coming from the kitchen.

"Mother, do you want to bring the leftover chicken and meat to your house?"

"Take it over, just keep two steamed buns!" Shen Lishi said, and then said bitterly, "Let him go away for half a year without coming back, without bringing back any money, and wanting to eat meat, go dreaming! "

The kitchen suddenly became quiet again. Standing outside the window, Shen Duowang felt his body was completely cold.

I also understand that not all families are as beautiful and happy as Shu Xin's family.

Not a family, but a family.

The family gets along harmoniously, the older one yields to the younger one, and the younger one respects the older one.

He felt that he had to ask some questions today!

He climbed over the wall and left the courtyard, reached the front door, knocked hard on the door a few times,

A nervous and defensive voice came from the yard, "Who is it?"

"I, Shen Duowang!"

Immediately, Shen Li cursed from the yard, "I still know what to do when I come back, just die outside!"

The door was opened, and Shen Duowang went into the yard with his bundle, and without looking at the rest of the family, he went straight into his room, put the bundle on the dusty kang, and went out into the kitchen.

Sure enough, there were only a few steamed buns left, which were still warm, and they were cleaned up, and there was no one to eat.

Shen Duowang smiled coldly.

Just as she was about to walk out of the kitchen, Mrs. Shen and Li hurried into the kitchen, "Where's the money? Where's the money you earned after going out for so long?"

"..."

Shen Duowang looked at the bitter and mean Shen Lishi, suddenly remembered something, staggered her and went back to the room quickly, looking at the messy clothes that had been turned over, smashed the window by the kang with an angry punch, and slapped her backhand. The wooden door was taken down and smashed into the yard.

"Silver? I didn't even have a sip of hot tea when I got home. You guys are full for the Chinese New Year, so you didn't ask me. Chicken and meat are all locked up!" Shen Duowang shouted angrily.

Looking at Shen Li who was trembling with anger, and his own father who stood silent at the door, and the elder brother, second elder brother and fourth younger brother hiding in the house.

"Silver, let's talk about it. Who earned the money to build the house, who bought the land, and where did Xiao Si get the money to go to school?" Shen Dowang roared.

This roar shocked Shen Li.

Wanting to cry and scold his father and mother, Shen Duowang said lightly, "Am I yours? If I were yours, your hearts are too biased!"

Regardless of the faces of the family members, they turned around and entered the house, folded the clothes again, and went out of the house with them in their hands, looking at the shocked Shen Lishi, "If I am not your own, I will look for my biological father Go mother, bridge to bridge, road to road, you have raised me for a few years, and the money I give is enough for your retirement!"

The old man Shen hurried forward and pulled Shen Duowang, "Duowang, your mother is confused, and you are also confused. It's Chinese New Year, don't go out when you come back!" He looked at the wooden pile standing on the side. The family of the eldest and second child said, "Boss, second child, clean up the house quickly, boss and second wife, hurry up and prepare dinner for Duowang!"

Shen Duowang looked at his own father. No matter what his mother was making troubles about, he would just smoke on the sidelines. It seemed very strange that he came out to appease him today. Shen Duowang immediately understood, deeply moved Taking a breath, "No need, I'd better go out!"

Old man Shen hurriedly grabbed Shen Duowang's wrist, "Third son, listen to your father's advice once, and stay here this time. If your mother makes troubles like this again in the future, no matter whether you want to move out or separate and go out alone No matter how long you live, I won’t force you to live there!”

"Is this true?" Shen Duowang asked.

This is what he was waiting for.

It's impossible for him to just set up a house outside and marry Shu Xin back, otherwise people will gossip.

Even if you want to separate and live alone, you have to wait until you get married.

Old man Shen nodded.

Shen Duowang stayed.

After the room was tidied up, Shen Duowang went in to sleep.

The windows hadn't been repaired yet, and the cold wind was howling, so the eldest and second son of the Shu family had to take tarpaulins and nail them up. Shen Duowang was lying in the room, feeling in a mess.

Very messy.

The idea that he is not the old man Shen, Shen Li's own, became clearer.

He had to find out.

Just where to start?
Shen Duowang was in deep thought!

When the two sister-in-laws came to cook and eat, Shen Duowang didn't get up to eat. Mrs. Shen Li was cursing, but was dragged back to the house by old man Shen. He didn't know what he said, and Mrs. Shen gradually stopped swearing.

It was chilly in the quilt, and the faint scent of soap was gone, and the kang was also cold, unlike at Shu Xin's house, where the kang was on fire in the afternoon, and as soon as he entered the quilt at night, it was warm all night until dawn.

"It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality!" Shen Duowang sighed, and pulled the moldy quilt to cover himself.

I can't sleep with my eyes closed.

At this time, is she watching the old age?
The relationship between the two sisters is so good, they must be eating melon seeds, peanuts, and barbecue around the brazier in the main room.

Thinking of Shu Xin and what Shu Xin said to him, Shen Duowang felt much better.

He just closed his eyes and thought about Shu Xin all night.

New Year's Day.

Every household has to visit, and the family has prepared sugar, melon seeds, and peanuts. If there are children, they can grab a handful, and Shu Xin's family has prepared more.

We also prepared sticky rice cakes, and children would give them a few when they came. They were burnt in a brazier, and the outside was burnt and the inside was sticky and delicious.

The sisters Shu Xin also went to pay New Year's greetings, and when they came back, they had everything in their pockets, and they grabbed them one by one and put them on a plate.

"So fast!" Shu Xin was taken aback.

Shu Qin laughed, "Now that everyone knows that our house has a lot of delicious food, the children must be the first to come to our house!"

"It makes sense, fortunately I hid some!"

Shu Xin went to bring the rice cakes, while Shu Qin and Shu Qi had already set up the brazier, while Shu Shu went to tease the younger brother and Yao Mei with a smile.

The four sisters baked it together, and just held it in their hands and ate it.

It was so hot that he blew air, Liu looked at it, and said with a smile, "I can't eat it with chopsticks!"

"It feels different!" As Shu Xin said, he went to get some vegetables to roast, and he also put some oil on them, sprinkled some salt and chili powder, and it was a delight to eat.

Even cut lean meat and skewered it for grilling.

He even brought his younger brother and younger sister over, gave some vegetable leaves, and tore some lean meat.

Mrs. Liu watched a few sisters fiddle with food in the yard, anyway, they ate it once in a while, plus it was Chinese New Year, so they fiddled with whatever they liked.

Smiling, he took out the money, counted it, and then put it back.

Going to look at the food at home, there are more than a dozen rabbits and a dozen hens in the backyard.

Nowadays, hens are not very good at laying eggs in winter. It is considered good to have two or three eggs a day, and sometimes there is none.

Grandpa, grandma, and Huzi came back from visiting, and seeing Shu Xin and his sisters grilling and eating in the yard, with two dogs walking around, hoped for something delicious, and salivated.

Smiling, he went into the house and took two bones for reunion and safety, while Huzi joined the barbecue, and there was a lot of laughter in the yard.

Grandpa also poured some wine and ate a few skewers of meat, which is also a great thing in the world.

After the third year of junior high school, Shu Xin stopped being playful and washed his hands and embroidered every day.

Grandpa asked Huzi to take him to the town, bought some things needed for farming, and asked someone to help plow the field for planting seedlings.

Shu Xin doesn't care about Hu Zi's busy work inside and out, and concentrates on embroidery.

Liu Shi, Shu Qin, Shu Qi, Ah Nai Ze
In a blink of an eye, it was the 15th and [-]th Lantern Festival, and every family had to make glutinous rice balls. Early in the morning, they began to grind the soaked glutinous rice flour. Shu Xin was embroidering in the room and accidentally stabbed his finger.

"Suck!"

Shu Xin groaned in pain.

Put your finger in your mouth and suck.

I have been doing embroidery for so long, and this is the first time I got stabbed on my hand.

Shu Xin simply put down his needle and thread, pushed the embroidery frame to a corner, and covered it with a cloth to prevent it from getting dusty.

out of the house.

"Eldest sister, have you come out to breathe!" Shushu asked with a smile.

Shu Xin stepped forward, hugged her and kissed her.

Apart from Yaomei's youngest sister, Shu Xin loves her the most.

"what are you doing here?"

"Reunion, safe housekeeping!" Shu Shu said in a childish voice, and smiled at Shu Xin.

Originally, she was going to Wangyou's house to play, but after going there, Shushu found that Wangyou didn't like her very much.

Don't look at her as a child, since she was in an environment like the Shu family, she is very sensitive and smart.

Shu Xin nodded and sat down next to Shu Shu.

Seeing that her hair was a bit messy, "Go and get the bastard, I'll comb it for you!"

"it is good!"

Shushu quickly brought the comb, and Shu Xin combed her two small buns, which were tied with a red string, and they were so pink and cute.

Shu Xin watched and couldn't help asking, "Who combed your hair this morning, and it wasn't done properly!"

"It's none of Second Sister's business, it's about Wangyou, she teased me twice!"

Shu Xin was immediately unhappy when he heard this.

That Wangyou looked like a problem child at first glance, he knew how to pretend to be gloomy at a young age.

"Don't play with her in the future, and don't go to play with her. If you have nothing to do, follow me to embroider at home, or read books and recognize characters!"

Comfort your salary and protect your weaknesses.

Annoyed, Wangyou pulled Shushu's hair, and annoyed that she couldn't talk about things.

She can only let Shushu stay at home.

Shushu nodded heavily, nestled in the arms of the elder sister obediently, and smiled happily with her lips curled up.

The two sisters just rely on the cold wind.

Shu Xin was still thinking about the tingling pain on his finger, did it indicate that something was going to happen?
Thinking of this, Shu Xin fell silent.

In the past, she didn't believe in gods and Buddhas very much, but she believed in this place after traveling.

After the glutinous rice is ground, it needs to be packed in a very fine cloth bag to filter the water. When the water is gone, what is left is glutinous rice flour.

Shu Xin steamed a pumpkin, put it on a cutting board, crushed it, kneaded it with glutinous rice flour, and fried several plates of pumpkin pancakes.

"This food is delicious!" Grandpa nodded and ate several.

Seeing that his family likes to eat it, Shu Xin made some more, "You can't eat too much of this kind of thing at one time. It's cold now, so it's okay to make some and put it aside!"

I made some more and sent Huzi to the village head's house.

After lunch, Shu Xin didn't want to embroider, so he sat on a chair in the yard, staring at the sky in a daze.

My mind was buzzing, and I didn't know what to think.

Just look at the sky.

"What happened to this child, Ah Xin?" Grandma asked Liu Shi.

Mrs. Liu shook her head, "I don't know, it's like this after lunch, I don't know what's wrong?"

Shu Xin is usually cheerful, but he has never been like this before, and Liu Shi is quite worried.

In the afternoon, a carriage arrived at Shu's house.

When Mrs. Liu went out to see her, it was Dai Zhenzhu who came to pay New Year's greetings with a gift, which was sent by her elder brother.

"Aunt Liu!" Dai Zhenzhu shouted happily.

It's just that there are a few sisters in the room who are about to call for someone.

Shushu then said, "Sister Pearl, you can't call me Douhua, the eldest sister named me Shushu, the beauty that Shu!"

"ah……"

Dai Zhenzhu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "That's a good relationship, let me see our little beauty, Shushu!"

Knelt down and kissed Shushu.

Shu Qin and Shu Qi stepped forward and said, "Sister Pearl, I am Shu Qin, Fu Qin's Qin!"

"Sister Pearl, I am Shu Qi, the Qi of Astragalus!"

Dai Zhenzhu was even more pleasantly surprised, "They are all the names of medicinal materials!"

"Yes, the eldest sister said that it is a good medicine with two flavors, and it has a homonym with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting!" Shu Qin said, holding Dai Zhenzhu's hand very kindly.

Liu looked at it and smiled, and said to Brother Dai, "Let the girls chat, let's sit in the main room!"

Brother Dai gave the gift to Mrs. Liu, "Aunt Liu, Happy New Year!"

"Sit inside!"

As the sisters spoke, they rushed to find Shu Xin. Seeing Shu Xin sitting on a chair in a daze, Dai Zhenzhu didn't even notice her coming, and didn't dare to disturb her loudly.

Ask Shu Qin, "What happened to Ah Xin?"

"I don't know, the eldest sister just sat there in a daze in the afternoon, and we dare not interrupt at will!" Shu Qin said, also full of worry.

Dai Zhenzhu patted Shu Qin's hand, "I'll go and see!"

He walked lightly to Shu Xin and sat down, whispering, "Ah Xin, what are you thinking?"

Hearing the sound, Shu Xin came back to his senses, looked at Dai Zhenzhu, and smiled happily, "Sister Zhenzhu, why are you here?"

"Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. There will be a lantern festival in the town. I'll pick you up to play. Are you going?"

"Is it in the town?" Shu Xin asked.

"That's right, go live at my house, stay at my house tonight, enjoy the lanterns tomorrow, come back early the next morning, or come back tomorrow night, it's fine, let my elder brother see you off!" Dai Zhenzhu said, afraid of Shu Xin Not agreeing, and said, "I have already asked my parents, and my parents agreed!"
