The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 17 Dragon Boat Festival

Mrs. Zhou sighed after hearing this. Fortunately, I didn't meet such a sister-in-law, otherwise my family would have troubles. I hope my uncle can marry a wife who is easy to get along with. If he does marry a wife and a good man, look at Aunt Song's family marrying Mrs. Li The days that followed.Seeing her husband's exhaustion, Mrs. Zhou asked her to go to bed for a while, and went to the kitchen to boil a dozen poached eggs with brown sugar, and filled two bowls for Shen Xuan to deliver to Aunt Song and Mrs. Liu. This time, she probably wasn't in the mood to do it. dinner.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and I had breakfast in a hurry.Thank you worry-free.Uncle Shen.Shen Xuan and her brothers are going to the town to watch the dragon boat race together.The seven people sat on the donkey cart and walked leisurely on the way to the town.Shen Xuan was amused when she recalled Xie Wuyou's embarrassment when she got in the car just now.

"What are you laughing at, little girl?" Looking at the baby's fat smiling face, Xie Wuyou was in a good mood, and stroked Shen Xuan's hair.

"Hehe, Brother Wuyou, donkey cart." Shen Xuan smiled and gave a reminder, and the others laughed together after thinking about it.

"You dare to make fun of me, you should hit me." Xie Wuyou gestured to hit a few children.

Everyone was fighting in the car, Xie Wuyou looked at the crops around, there was no conspiracy here, it was great, I didn't want to go back to that home.But, no, my mother is still suffering.I have to avenge myself!

"Brother Wuyou, what are you thinking?" Xie Wuyou had a sad face.

After adjusting his emotions, Xie Wuyou quickly recovered, "It's nothing, let me tell you about the origin of the dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival."

In this way, everyone listened to Xie Wuyou's explanation and soon arrived in the town.

"Wow, there are so many people." Shen Xuan stood at the entrance of the town and looked at the people passing by.

"Well, there are a lot of delicious food." Brother Dong only has food in his eyes.

"You all follow me closely, don't run away." Uncle Shen said, and the others stood obediently by his side.

"Put the donkey cart at Fuyuan Restaurant first, and rest for a while. I'll accompany you to watch the dragon boat race." Xie Wuyou suggested.

"I'm sorry." Uncle Shen already knew Xie Wuyou's identity, so he was a little scrupulous after getting along with him.

A group of people went to Fuyuan Restaurant, Xie Wuyou went to check the situation in the restaurant.Shopkeeper Bai was very discerning and prepared some pastries for the children.tea.After Xie Wuyou came back, everyone went to the river together.People coming and going on the road squeezed there, Xie Wuyou protected Shen Xuan, Uncle Shen led Brother Qiu and Brother Dong, Brother Chun and Brother Xia followed closely behind.After finally finding a place by the river, everyone was sweating.

"It's so crowded." Shen Xuan expressed emotion, wiping his sweat while talking, the boy's body was hot, and he was sweating more.

"I'm not going to watch the game anymore." Brother Dong expressed his opinion unwillingly.

There are already boats participating in the competition in the river.About 10 only.Looking at the shirtless man in the river, everyone he knew or not was shouting for support.

"I heard that this competition was prepared by the county?" A person next to him asked his companion.

"That's right, my aunt's uncle's boy is working in the county. I heard that the No. 1 prize this time won 50 taels of silver!"

"That's a lot. There are 8 people on a boat, and each person is divided into 6 taels." A lot of money, how much money the countryside only earns in a year.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I stepped on you." Uncle Shen's voice interrupted Shen Xuan and continued to listen to the inside story of the chat next to him.

"It's okay." Shen Xuan heard a female voice, with trembling in her voice, it is estimated that she stepped on it hard.Shen Xuan walked over to look at the girl. She was about 15 or 16 years old, and she was not good-looking in a green dress.There is a bookish temperament between the brows, which is strong and worried.There is only a wooden hairpin on the whole head to hold the hair, and the overall feeling is delicate and delicate.

"Hey, it's you!" Uncle Shen raised his head and recognized the woman in front of him as the owner of a grocery store in the town.

"You are, O, you also came to the game."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Shen Xuan knew that they knew each other, but she hadn't found out that her uncle would chat with other women.Remembering what my aunt said to show my uncle to see his wife, Shen Xuan made a sound.

"Hello, sister, who is this sister, uncle?" Shen Xuan asked while tugging at the sleeve of my uncle.Shen Xuan is getting used to being a child more and more.

"Ah, this is the little owner of the grocery store in the town. My uncle met when he went shopping." Uncle Shen's face was still a little shy, and he didn't expect that his eccentric little niece would see him talking to someone.

"Hello, little sister. There is still something to do at home. The little girl is going back first." Without waiting for Uncle Shen to speak, he turned around and left quickly.

"Uncle, do you like her?" The careful Shen Xuan noticed that the woman's footsteps stopped slightly.

"Don't talk nonsense, these words will not affect the woman well." The woman hurried away.

"Uncle just likes him." Shen Xuan didn't intend to let Uncle Shen go. If she let the woman just now be her aunt, Shen Xuan would still be happy.

"Uncle is not good enough for her. She has a younger brother who is studying and will take the talent examination next year." Uncle Shen was depressed and dragged Shen Xuan away.Just now I heard someone yelling "The game has begun."

Shen Xuan was going to go home and talk to her mother, what's wrong with studying, there are people studying in her family, and my uncle finally met a woman he likes, so he can't just give up.Shen Xuan was always thinking about going home and the Zhou family, but she hadn't reflected on it until the game was over.

"Little sister, what's the matter with you?" Brother Chun watched the game and found that Shen Xuan kept his head down.

"Oh, it's okay, why don't you watch the game?"

"The game is over. There will be a show in the evening. We are waiting at home, we should go back." Xie Wuyou explained.

"Then let's go home." Everyone was a little dazed looking at the unjoyed face, not knowing what happened to the little girl.

After returning home at noon, Shen Xuan plunged headfirst into the kitchen, not knowing how to make milk.What did the auntie say, and she even looked at Uncle Shen a few times, which made the men in the yard puzzled.Soon a table of meals was ready, thanks to Wuyou's blessing, the Shen family has been producing meat and vegetables for the past two months, and it has caught up with the big families in the town, which is equivalent to a well-off life in modern times.

A pot of stewed chicken.Fried pork with beans.Cucumber fried meat.Vegetarian scrambled eggs.Mixed shallots with tofu, and made a spicy fish under Shen Xuan's command.Old Vinegar Peanuts.Prepare a plate of pickled vegetables with sesame oil as an appetizer, plus meat dishes brought back from Fuyuan Restaurant, a total of one or two dishes will be served quickly.There was no one else at home either.When two tables face each other, both men and women will be at the table.Master Shen and his sons were drinking and chatting.Xie Wuyou was greeted by Uncle Shen to eat, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting in low voices, and the children were all scrambling to eat.

The atmosphere is warm, and a touch of family affection is left in between.Shen Xuan remembered the purpose of the ancient times, where is the elder brother, and when can he see the elder brother.Last time, the old monk said he met when it was time to meet, and he didn't let himself force it, all because he was too young, it seems that he can consider cooperating with Xie Wuyou, and earn some money first.Through these two months of observation, Xie Wuyou is suitable as a partner.Shen Xuan decided to have a good talk before Xie Wuyou went back.
