The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 72 The new way to eat lotus root (2)
Early the next morning, Father Shen drove to the town. Shen Xuan did not follow this time, and Father Shen came back before noon. Looking at the expression on his face, he knew that the matter was resolved. Shen Xuan Don't worry about it.In the next few days, the man surnamed Mao did not come to make trouble again. Someone went to the town to buy things and brought back news: the county magistrate was dismissed. Lost my life.

After the watermelon matter was resolved, everyone's life returned to calm, and they continued to live with the sunrise.The day when the sun sets.

Shen Xuan saw that Grandma Shen was coughing badly once, so she boiled rock sugar pear water for her to drink. After drinking it, the coughing was really cured. The happy Grandma Shen praised Shen Xuan from time to time.When Shen Xuan had nothing to do, she peeled the peaches and pears, added rock sugar and boiled them together for everyone to eat. Even the little brother at home was soaked up because he could feed some sugar water.

Summer turns to autumn, and after August 11th, when all the watermelons in the village are sold out, the Shen family starts frying melon seeds. The whole village grows sunflowers and harvests a lot. Fortunately, with last year's experience, the frying tools and The place was prepared in advance, and the Zhao family and the others, together with the long-term workers of the Shen family, were busy until November.

During the period, Xie Wuyou sent a letter inviting Shen's family to attend his wedding banquet. Shen Xuan wrote a letter and asked Bai Ming to send it in person, with a congratulatory gift from Shen's family: the bread share and moon cake share were cancelled.There is also a reason for Shen Xuan to take this as a gift. The trend of bread has dropped in a year, and the monthly share is really not much. It is better to give these gifts to Xie Wuyou; there is also a reason to arrange Bai Ming to give gifts. Because of the reason, Mr. Xie has been completely squeezed out by Xie Wuyou.Xie Wuyou has truly become the heir, and those who follow Mr. Xie must have dealt with it. Bai Ming's second uncle is on the list. Letting Bai Ming go back and have a look will also untie the knot in his heart. People who trust should also check the snack bar.

In less than two years, Shen's Snack Bar has opened all over the entire Jiangbei generation, with a total of 40 branches.Now the snack bar has all kinds of porridge in the morning.Steamed buns and soy milk; cold noodles with cold skin in summer at noon.Newly added home-cooked meals after autumn; Teppanyaki in the afternoon.Deep-fried chicken tenders and drumsticks, and added barbecue.This barbecue is made in the style of modern Korean barbecue. Each store has an area dedicated to barbecue for everyone, with iron shelves.charcoal.Tweezers are all ready.At the beginning, people didn't accept this practice. There is no reason to do it yourself when you go out to eat. Gradually, more and more people realize the fun of doing it yourself. Some shops are often full of seats.

Having said that, I have to say that Shen Xuan's congratulatory gift to Xie Wuyou is of great value. The well-developed snack bar has not been squeezed out by other businesses because of the care of Xie's family in Fengyang City. Small problems in some places are local. The shopkeeper can solve it.Shen Xuan, the master behind it, can be said to be very relaxed.

The four members of the Shen family lived a very regular life because they would take the Tongsheng examination next autumn: they would practice martial arts after getting up in the morning.After washing up and having breakfast, I go to the academy; I have to draw two copybooks during the lunch break; I have to review my homework before going to bed at night.Life at such a young age is like asceticism, even Brother Dong, who loves food, is not picky, but Brother Xia is different.The enthusiasm for herbal medicine has not diminished, because he still has to spare time to learn this knowledge, and Brother Xia is the most tiring of the four brothers.Shen Xuan was worried that her brothers would not be able to take it anymore, so she would take them to the mountains to hunt every time they took a rest, in order to let them relax from the pressure of studying.The second is to let them practice martial arts.

Uncle Shen and Uncle Shen's hot and sour cabbage and sweet and sour garlic also started to buy.Shen Xuan told the store about how to eat hot and sour cabbage, the hot and sour powder in the home-cooked dishes at noon.Pickled fish.Cold sauerkraut is very popular, and some people even buy hot and sour cabbage and sweet and sour garlic as side dishes.After Zhu Guang and Bao Qi got married, Bai Ming and Bao Qi stayed at Shen's house for convenience.Zhu Guang and Ah Yi are in the town, Lei Kui stays in the town to take care of Brother Qiu and the others.

Tian Lele and the others are still in charge of training the guards, and Shen Xuan rarely sees them.When winter comes, Shen Xuan stays at home and warms up with the little fox.Occasionally, you can still see a scene when it snows, and life is easier.Life would be boring without TV and entertainment.Fortunately, the twentieth of the new year is coming soon, and the village has been busy preparing for the new year. This annual meeting is the best year Shatu Village has ever had. Who made everyone have money and new clothes.new house.It can be said that a new daughter-in-law is normal in Shatu Village.A few men who couldn't be called daughter-in-law because their families are poor have also made an appointment. After the Spring Festival next year, there will be many houses in Shatu Village just after the banquet.

At the age of 28, Aunt Song came to Shen's house with her baby in her arms.

"Hasn't his uncle come back yet?" Mrs. Zhou took Niuniu from her arms and hugged her amusedly.

"No, I came back late last year. It's snowing and I guess the journey will not be early." Aunt Song mentioned that the head of the family was helpless, and she didn't send a letter to her family for a year.

"Is your mother-in-law cured? She's still lying on the bed." After entering winter, Mrs. Song fell ill and lay in bed all day.

"It's better. It's cold and I didn't let her get out of bed. It's better to lie in bed." Aunt Song is really a good wife. She takes care of her mother-in-law and children at home. Life is not easy.

"Wait, life will be better after his third uncle comes back, don't let him go out next year."

"Well, my mother-in-law and I have discussed that we will grow watermelons at home next year."

"Well, this watermelon does make money, and the village is rich, so it would be great if your family planted it this year." Mrs. Zhou regretted that the Song family did not grow watermelon this year. "We didn't think about it either. The child's father left a few days after the new year. If he arrives late, he can plant it. There are only three mothers in the family who can't take care of him." Aunt Song regretted it when she mentioned this, but there was nothing she could do about it. .

Mrs. Zhou and Aunt Song were chatting when they heard Bao Qi shouting from outside: "Madam, the son of Aunt Song's family next door is back."

In the room, when Aunt Song heard that her man had come back, she ran away excitedly. She even forgot to hug Niu Niu in Zhou's arms, so Zhou had to send it over.

When Zhou and Shen Xuan entered the Song family, they heard a burst of crying, and their pace quickened. When they walked into the house, they saw Aunt Song wiping tears there. There were not many things in the poor house of the Song family, and some were a little dilapidated.

"Where is her uncle, why are you sitting here and crying? Shouldn't you be happy when you come back?" Mrs. Zhou handed Niuniu to Shen Xuan to hold her, and went to ask Aunt Song.

"Second sister-in-law, why do you think our family is so miserable, father, father..." Aunt Song said, and Uncle Song choked with tears.

"Okay, okay, drink some water and talk slowly, stop crying, didn't you hear that your mother-in-law was also crying there?" There was a burst of crying from inside just now.

"Mother, don't worry, the child's father is fine. He is tired after walking for such a long time. I let him go to sleep in the house." Aunt Song hurriedly wiped her tears and went inside to comfort Mrs. Song.
