Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the annual Lantern Festival. Shen Dejian decided to take a day off today, not go out to the city to sell goods, and spend a good festival at home with his daughter.
Early in the morning, he got up early and went to the back garden to feed the animals.
Under Ruolan's help, eight hens and a rooster were added to the house, and four big geese were added. Now, the deserted house suddenly became lively, the rooster crowed, the goose crowed, and Lian remained silent Under the influence of such an environment, the mother and child of wild goats occasionally barked a few times.
The family suddenly became full of vigor and vitality, and Shen Dejian lived with more energy. Every day seemed to have endless energy, and he felt motivated in everything he did.
After feeding the animals, he cleaned up the excrement of the animals, and then took the pole to fetch water from the well. Shen Ruolan also got up, and went into the kitchen to knead noodles and chop stuffing, ready to make a meal of dumplings.
During the reconciliation, she purposely reconciled a little more and brought out the Shouya sisters.
Although she is resting today and doesn't need them to come to work, she knows that no matter if they can't come to work, she must bring out their meals, otherwise they will definitely starve again.
Shen Dachui and his wife still don't know about the Shouya sisters helping her with work.
In order to be able to come to work, the few of them have also tried their best. They either pretend to go out to collect firewood every day, or pretend to be a door button sparrow, and then send one person out to really do that kind of work, and the other three come to Shen Ruolan Home made crystal jelly.
Because it is winter now, there is no need to go to the mountains to farm and dig wild vegetables, and Shen Dachui's family doesn't have much work, so I don't care what these girls are doing, but every time they go back to pick up firewood, they find that the firewood they pick up is very small. At least, it is inevitable to scold him.
The sisters have long been used to being scolded, and those who let them do their best will not say a word, as long as they can work in Lan Ya's house, let alone being scolded, they are happy to be beaten.
In just a few days, my sisters have grown a little bit of meat, and they have long since taken porridge with dried wild vegetables at home. Every time, grandma rewards them with a bowl of dried wild vegetables that have been drained from the soup. When it was time for the porridge, they no longer couldn't wait to gobble it up, but ate it slowly, even with a little embarrassment. If it weren't for the fear of being spotted by them, they would really not hesitate to eat this pig food.
What's even more ridiculous is that every time the little ones in the family ate the rough pancakes, they would deliberately greedy them with the black pancakes: "I'm so hungry that you are so greedy, this is given to me by my grandma and my parents. For your part, you will be greedy to death, you dry monkeys..."
In the past, when they looked at the black pancake, they all swallowed greedily, and stared straight at the pancake, wishing they could snatch it off and stuff it into their stomachs.
But now, whenever the little boy shows off with that black guy again, the sisters will have the feeling of watching a clown playing with a monkey—they don’t hesitate to eat brown rice pancakes!
What they eat every day is big pancakes made of pure cornmeal. They can always eat rice and white noodles, and occasionally they can also eat a meal of meat. Just his pancakes made of brown rice flour are not worthy of being fed to pigs at Lanya’s house. !
It's just that Lan Ya said that they don't need to go there today, and they are too embarrassed to go to others for dinner, so they have to deal with eating pig food at home for a day...

Shen Dejian filled the tank with water and swept the yard again. Shen Ruolan's pork and cabbage stuffed dumplings had been cooked.
Dumplings that were born in vain, neatly placed on the plate, steaming hot, very beautiful, you don't have to try them to know they must be delicious. The dumpling soup is also on the air. Didn’t it mean that the original soup turns into the original food? After eating the dumplings, drink a bowl of hot dumpling soup. There is nothing more delicious than this.
Shen Dejian washed his hands, and happily came over to eat.
"Well, it's delicious, my daughter's craftsmanship is really good!" As soon as he took a bite, Shen Dejian couldn't help but start to praise his daughter.
This girl was shy and submissive when she was a child, and she thought she was not good enough to stand on the stage, but she didn't expect to become like this when she grew up, she was smart and clever, and he was getting rarer and rarer of her girl.
Shen Ruolan smiled and said: "Then eat more, I'll boil some bath water for you after dinner, after you take a bath, change into new clothes, and then go out for business and dress decently, so you don't have to cry Others look down on it."
"Well, fine, I'll listen to my daughter."
When it came to the new clothes, the smile on Shen Dejian's face became wider.
He has never worn cotton clothes in his life. He has been wearing coarse cloth since he was a child, and it is the cheapest undyed one. Unexpectedly, not only cotton clothes are available now, but even the obscene clothes and trousers are worn inside. It was made of cotton, and there was also the bedding. The new thick and soft bedding was made of new cotton.
Last night he slept with an old bedding, and he was not willing to wear any clothes. He insisted on taking a shower today and washing them clean before wearing them.
The bathtub was bought a few days ago, it was bought together with chickens and geese when my daughter asked him for it last time, because he was busy, he never used it once, just taking advantage of today's free time, good Take a bath, feel comfortable and comfortable, and enjoy yourself.
After eating, Shen Ruolan cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, and helped him boil a large pot of bath water, found the loofah and bath beans for bathing, and when ready, she took a small pot of dumplings and went out.
Although Shen Dejian is her father, there is a difference between men and women after all, she should avoid him a little while taking a bath.
