happy daughter-in-law

Chapter 17

Shen Yunfang was speechless, how could everything be on the line.

The cow dung from the public house and the cow dung from the owner, it’s just that these cows can’t bear it, so they should focus on it here. Do you want to follow the old cow’s buttocks if you want cow dung in the future?

"No, sir, I didn't want to use it to fertilize it. I just thought that my family didn't have enough firewood. I went to the mountain to pick it up today, and there was nothing left. I..." Hey, what she said was a bit incoherent.

Shen Yunfang only knew that dried cow dung could be used as firewood, but she had never burned cow dung in her two lifetimes, so she didn't know if what she said was right after she finished speaking, and looked at Shen Yeqing with some anxiety.

Although she didn't understand what she said, it made Shen Yeqing understand. His serious face turned from black to red, then became sad again, and finally heaved a heavy sigh.

"Hey, you said you child, why don't you tell the uncle if you have difficulties."

My uncle is still negligent. He didn't take good care of his brother's orphan. In a mountainous area like theirs, the children have no firewood and can only pick up cow dung.He would be embarrassed if he said it.

"It's not difficult..."

"Okay, don't talk about it, tomorrow I will ask your second brother to go to the mountain to hook some pine branches for you. Let him take you to the pine forest in the south to hold some pine branches. It will be enough to burn all winter. "It's really not difficult to make firewood in this mountainous area. If it weren't for the policy not to allow it, just a few trees would be enough.

Shen Yunfang really didn't know that there was a pine forest on the back mountain. If she could find it and use the space to decorate it with more pine branches, it would be perfect.

"Don't do it, come out quickly, the uncle has something to do with you." Shen Yeqing's words interrupted Shen Yunfang's wild thoughts.

She looked at the cow dung at her feet, she was really reluctant.

The little expression on her face made the serious Shen Yeqing dumbfounded.Why is this kid so optimistic about this cow dung?

"Hey, tell me about you kid, these cow dung belong to the public, we can't take advantage of the public." Shen Yeqing said earnestly.

Shen Yunfang's answer was to secretly roll her eyes.

Shen Yeqing looked at his niece's pursed mouth, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Just this time, let's not take this as an example. If you want cow dung, you have to go to the road to pick it up yourself."

Shen Yunfang nodded happily, as long as the cow dung is given to her.

This time she walked out of the cowshed swiftly, between the cow dung and the uncle, why is the uncle important.

"Master, you just said you have something to do with me, what's the matter?"

Shen Yeqing pretended to be deep at this time, looked at his niece for a while, then sighed and said: "I asked your aunt to pack a hundred catties of corn for you, and you can carry it with me in a while, but let's say yes first." , this is the last time. From now on, you can do it yourself. Your father is a martyr, and you, as a survivor, cannot embarrass him."

Shen Yunfang nodded in the back, okay, as long as she is given a buffer period, she is confident that her little life will be prosperous, even in this era when nothing is allowed to be done.But to be honest, as a survivor of a martyr, she really didn't feel that there was any glory. Instead, she felt that every time she was mentioned, it seemed to remind her again that she was a poor child without a father.

Shen Yeqing led his niece to his home.

"Old lady, where is the corn I asked you to pack for Yun Fang?" Shen Yeqing shouted into the house as soon as he entered the yard.

As a result, the room was quiet.

Shen Yunfang looked at it with her head, and then retracted her head. It is estimated that no one would borrow the food out of joy. Maybe this is the meat bun beating the dog.

Shen Yeqing went into the house and looked around, but no one saw it, and he immediately understood in his heart that he was unhappy and hid on purpose.

"Xiu, where did your mother go?" Shen Yeqing pushed open the door of the girl's room, saw that she was sitting on the kang, and asked the soles of her shoes.

"How would I know?" Shen Yunxiu rolled her eyes at Shen Yunfang, she was really shameless, eating and drinking for nothing at her own home, and now she still wants to get it for nothing.

She said the last sentence in a low voice, but everyone present should have heard it.

"I still don't believe in this. I can't get the grain if I'm not at home. If you don't pretend, I'll pretend it myself." Shen Yeqing stopped looking for anyone, and strode to his main room, ready to open the cellar to get the grain by himself.

Aunt Shen, who was hiding at the gate of the courtyard and looked into the room, saw that the old man wanted to get the food by herself, and she couldn't care about anything, so she rushed into the house and dragged Shen Yeqing, "Oh, you dead ghost, you don't want to get over this, do you? You don’t know if you have sons and daughters, you want to starve our mothers to death. God, what crime did I do? I work hard every day, and the food may not be given to anyone in the end Well, who will make the decision for me." Aunt Shen did not forget to pull Shen Yeqing fiercely while crying and singing.

"Shut up, I'm not dead yet." Shen Yeqing turned around and wanted to grab his clothes.

"Auntie and uncle, stop arguing." Shen Yunfang was speechless.

"Hmph, are you happy now, my family has been disturbed." Shen Yunxiu stood at the door and looked at her with hatred.

Shen Yunfang ignored Shen Yunxiu, she knew the crux of the problem, so she directly said to Aunt Shen: "Ma'am, I didn't take your food for nothing, so how about it, can I pay you according to the price?"

Aunt Shen's crying stopped abruptly.

"You want to buy it? Do you have money? You won't need an IOU." Aunt Shen couldn't believe her.

"Don't worry ma'am, my mother left some money for me. As long as the price is not too high, I should be able to buy some." In the black market, the grain there is two or three times that of the grain store, that is, a catty of rice is usually only [-] cents, but if you buy it on the black market, it will cost more than [-] cents per catty.

"We are all real relatives, so it is impossible to charge you a high price." Aunt Shen immediately changed her face.

"No, what money do you want? You can just borrow the food and wait until you pay it back next year." Shen Yeqing firmly disagreed.

"Oh, go as you go, I'll chat with Yunfang." Aunt Shen was afraid that the old man would mess up this matter, so she hurriedly chased him away.

"You old lady, do you want me to be yanked off? If you want money, it's not speculation." Shen Yeqing stomped his feet anxiously.

Aunt Shen was shocked when she heard this, it's so serious.

"Oh, sir, what did you say? My aunt is sorry that I have no food to eat. Give me some food. I see that my aunt is worrying about my cousin's marriage and lack of money. I will pay some money in advance. The two things are not the same. Let’s go, it’s the normal movement between relatives, so don’t give us an outline and a line.” Shen Yunfang is most afraid that this matter will become a mess, if she really doesn’t give her food, how will she live in the next year.

"Yes, that's the reason." Aunt Shen patted her thigh.

"I don't care about you guys anymore." Uncle Shen patted his trouser legs and left.

Shen Yunfang and Aunt Shen looked at each other, they agreed.

So the two discussed the price of food.

In the grain store, rice is [-] cents a catty, flour is [-] cents a catty, and cornmeal is [-] cents a catty.

The final agreed price was [-] cents a catty for rice and [-] cents a catty for cornmeal. Her family didn't have enough flour, so they didn't sell it.

Shen Yunfang thought for a while, and ordered fifty catties of rice and one hundred catties of cornmeal.A total of 20 yuan.

It's not that you can't buy more rice, but Shen Yunfang is afraid that she will be too conspicuous, so it's better to come safely.Of course, she and Aunt Shen also agreed that this is only known to her family, it's better not to tell others.

In the end, Brother Zhijie and Brother Zhiwen carried each bag home for her.
