Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm

Chapter 7

It was a night full of stars, and the breeze was blowing, bringing a few chirping insects.

In the bedroom of Shen Jiazu's house, Mrs. Cheng wiped her feet and put them on the kang.The gentleness and virtuousness of the day were gone, and at this moment, she frowned and looked fierce, and angrily snatched the thread-bound script from Shen Fuhai's hand.

"Just looking at this useless thing, but tell me, what do you think of today's incident?"

Shen Fuhai, who was in high spirits, frowned: "How would I know? It's not all your idea. You women have long hair and short knowledge, and you only focus on small profits. Let's see how you calculate, five years , In the end, it’s not a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket.”

"All right, all right, you are the one who has seen a lot. Shen Fuhai, if you have the ability, you can think of a better way to climb up to the magistrate of the county." Cheng pinched her husband severely, combing her hair with some doubts: "One big I thought Er Ya was weird a long time ago. With that sickly face, she was so silent that she even let Si Ya go in. You said she had a fire, but her mind was refreshed. "

After suffering the pain, Shen Fuhai also lost his temper: "It's not the stupid daughter you taught."

Cheng's voice was raised: "You actually said that about me, who has been taking care of you all these years, holding the entire Shen family in your hands..."

Shen Fuhai put on the quilt, and said sleepily and helplessly: "Okay, don't think so much, there are not many people in the county government. Since you want to do it, find a reason in a few days and then send Erya Just go in."

Cheng Shihao lay down when he was tired, nodded, and sat up again after thinking about it: "No, Erya is not the fool I told her to hit. Now she is a ghost, send her in and let's There is no benefit. If she climbs a high branch, it must be the fourth family who is cheap. Listen to me, you must not let her in."

Shen Fuhai yawned: "It's up to you, it's too late, go to bed quickly."

Cheng thought about it again, and felt that he had the most comprehensive idea.She closed her eyes, and after a while she opened them again: "I said, head of the house, you have to get Siya out quickly, she has a child inside, how much grievance she has to suffer."

The only answer to her was a loud snoring.

At the same time, Yiyou was lying on the bed, looking at the bright Tianhe outside through the hole in the paper window.The rough hand was tightly grasped by a small fleshy hand, lying next to her and arguing with her all afternoon, tired of Changsheng who fell asleep.The chirping of crickets came in from outside the window, but she couldn't calm down.

Although Er Ya was counted into it this time, with Cheng's shrewdness, it is guaranteed to come back now.As the old saying goes, people don't fight with officials, and the patriarch is stronger than her father no matter how young she is.Playing stupid can only be used this time, the days to come are still long, with her current strength, she has to be more careful.

"Hey……"

Father's melancholy and suppressed sigh came, and her nerves tensed up.

She knew the situation at home, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the family was destitute.In the previous life, she had the money of selling her body to support this hurdle. Although she has escaped the crisis now, running the family study is a major matter for the Shen family, and the money has to be paid even if it reaches the end of the world.

She thought about the argument between her parents in the kitchen after dinner today.Mother wanted to go back to her mother's house in the neighboring village to borrow some money, but was firmly stopped by father.She understood the confusion of her grandfather's family. Back then, a pair of auspicious twins caused a sensation in all directions, but she never expected that the happy event would turn into a bad omen in an instant.The eldest lady of the Li family who survived, that is, the mother, fell into an extremely embarrassing situation.When grandma heard about this, she was told by a matchmaker to marry her father.

A marriage is enough to explain the status of the two of them in their respective families.Although both Shen and Li's families are well-known families nearby, his family can't count on anyone now.

"Father, I'll just go back, my mother will never leave me alone."

When Li's subtle voice came, Shen Fuxiang turned his lower body sharply, raised his voice slightly, and resolutely refused again: "No."

Yiyou kept pretending to be asleep, but she heard her mother sobbing uncontrollably.The nails pierced the palm of her hand, but she became more determined.Whether it's for now or in the future, their family can no longer be so poor.

With this determination, Yiyou rummaged through the memories of the past.

Chen Deren was born in a wealthy family in the capital, and he was released as the governor of a province, so his food and clothing were extremely luxurious.The mansion is as large as pavilions and pavilions, as small as an embroidery needle, and it can be talked about when you take it out.Living in Yi's body nourishes Yi Qi, and she has gained a lot of knowledge in the Chen family for a few years.When she was immersed in it, she only thought it was a good enjoyment, but now that she returned to the countryside, she could appreciate the world of difference.

Any superb skill behind the prosperity is endless wealth.Now it is a pity that she was so stupid back then that she only knew how to fight for favor, and she didn't learn more with her heart.

After thinking about it for a while, it really made her figure out how to get money.

Convincing her parents who love her is a piece of cake for her.

"Sell buns?"

Seeing that Mrs. Li didn't directly deny it, Yiyou knew better: "My daughter was ill a few days ago, and there are many things in her mind for no reason. Many things that were muddled before, but now they all understand. Although Erbo's family seems to be Kiss me, but there is always a layer of calculations. Only my father, mother and Changsheng are my closest people."

Sitting in front of the spinning wheel, Li Shi's eyes were red. She was just suspicious before, but now that she heard it with her own mouth, she definitely couldn't fake it.My daughter is really enlightened, as long as she is sensible, no matter how hard and tiring she is, it will be worth it.

Sitting next to Mrs. Li, Yiyou strikes while the iron is hot: "Scholars say that scholars, farmers, and businessmen, craftsmen and merchants are ranked after tenants. But when you look at the ten miles and eight villages, the poorest are farmers. Except for officials, there are only The merchants are the richest. The second aunt used silk and satin yesterday to persuade her daughter to be a slave, but the daughter is lazy and doesn't want to go to the official's house to suffer the punishment. She can only wrong her parents and rely on this trick that others look down on to make money. "

After stopping the spinning wheel, Mrs. Li wiped away her tears.In the past, the daughter could not move when she saw beautiful clothes, but now it has completely changed.In addition to being moved, she hated the second brother's family even more for making such an idea. She really thought she was a fool.Being regarded as a disaster star in Li's parents for 16 years, she would have become a beautiful girl without any means.She used to have scruples, but now that her daughter has changed her sexuality, she no longer has to be afraid.

Seeing that her mother's face was dark and unclear, Yi You was a little uncertain: "Mother, did my daughter say something wrong?"

Seeing her daughter's cautious appearance, Li quickly turned her face away.She has this heart, so she has no reason not to support it.

"I'll discuss it with your father when he comes back."

As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man's voice came from behind: "There is no need to discuss any more, I agree."

Even the little Changsheng who ran out to play early in the morning ran over, jumping up and down with his black eyes open to join in the fun: "Selling buns, steaming buns, Changsheng is also coming."

After the discussion, the family got busy. Although the family was poor, selling buns was a small business.Even if it cannot be sold, it can be stored as dry food.

Before being reborn as a concubine, if she wanted to compete for favor, in addition to being beautiful, she also had to be talented.Yiyou started late, and she didn't know all the rich and noble skills such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that needed to be matched with money since she was a child. After picking and choosing, she took the lead and learned cooking.For the sake of the wealth and honor that is right in front of her eyes, she actually spent several months in the kitchen.There are always some special ways to eat in a big family, and she learned a lot of secret recipes during that time.

She was sure that the steamed stuffed buns she made were better than others.

"Tomorrow is the market, so let's hurry up."

It was the first time Yiyou discovered that her mother was a quick-tempered and impatient person.After a while, she found most of the materials.There are cabbages left in the cellar, and there is not enough flour, and she has a way to solve it.Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are all ready-made. The only thing missing now is meat. Cabbage buns are not delicious without meat, but their family has no money to sell meat.

"It's not good without meat, it can't be sold at a price, and everyone doesn't like to eat it if it's not delicious."

Yiyou spread her hands, and seeing Li Shi enter the room, she took out a silver hairpin after a while.That was the only jewelry she brought from her natal family when she got married.The silver hairpin and rouge have been kept at the bottom of the cage for a long time, and only during the festivals, the mother is willing to take them out.

"Take this and mortgage it to Butcher Zhou's house. They are all from the village. He will definitely agree to such a small matter."

Yiyou and Shen Fuxiang said in unison: "This won't work."

"You put away the hairpins, and I'll pay you on credit. Erya, Changsheng, take good care of your mother at home."

Yiyou grabbed Shen Fuxiang's clothes: "No need, Dad, I have a way to get Butcher Zhou to give us pork voluntarily."

Seeing the three pairs of eyes staring at her from the oldest to the youngest, she didn't give a damn: "I fell into the pond this time not because I was careless when washing clothes, but because Zhou Yong was naughty and took me to put the pads on the soles of my shoes." down the square stone."

Shen Fuxiang was furious: "That little bastard Zhou Yong, it's in vain for me and your mother to thank him a thousand times."

In fact, there was rebirth in between, Yiyou had almost forgotten about it a long time ago.If it wasn't for the mention of pork today, she really didn't think about it.Seeing her father bristling with anger, she quickly persuaded her while she was heartbroken.

"Father and mother, calm down. Anyway, my daughter has already suffered this crime. No matter how angry you are, you can't drown Zhou Hu in the pond. Instead of tearing up the two families and making a fuss, it's better to take the opportunity to get some cheap money. Breathe out for me."

"Hey."

After sighing, Shen Fuxiang's clenched fists loosened.Sure enough, the next thing was very simple, Zhou Hu blushed and admitted that he had missed.Although Butcher Zhou has a thick face, he is not that wicked.After scolding his son with a stick, he held his son's ear and went to the door to apologize in person.

"Our family doesn't have any good stuff, so this bit of meat should be used as a shock to Erya. As for the money for seeking medical treatment, fourth brother Shen, tell us the amount, and we will definitely return it in full."

Shen Fuxiang and Mrs. Li are also kind people, and now their anger has almost subsided, and they hurriedly refused: "The doctor in the city said that Erya is usually a little weak, and it's not entirely the fault of Huzi. They are still children, so don't bother me." Too harsh on him."

The friendly and sincere attitude once again made Yiyou feel that Yunlin Village is good.Smiling at Zhou Hu with a guilty face, it's all just a joke between half-grown children, she doesn't blame him.

"Uncle Zhou, I'm fine now. Thanks to Huzi who jumped down and saved me this time, I have to thank her."

Butcher Zhou's family praised Yiyou, and the two had a pleasant conversation.Reciprocating, butcher Zhou made a promise before leaving: "I didn't expect Brother Shen to be a straightforward person. From now on, I will only charge you for the meat in my family."

Shen Fuxiang repeatedly declined, and the agreement was finally reached.Yiyou pulled her younger brother, and then looked at the family in front of her.This is her family, and it is not bad at all compared to those prestigious masters in Chen's house, even better.
