Early the next morning, before Shen Ruolan woke up, she heard Heizi calling outside.
Shouya went out to have a look, and then came back quickly, "Lanya, brother Daqing and sister-in-law Qiuping are here, and they brought an old cow, saying they came to our house to work."
When Shen Ruolan heard this, she quickly put on her clothes and ran out, and she saw Shen Daqing and Qiuping's sister-in-law standing outside the door, and Shen Daqing was holding an old scalper.
"Emma, Lan Ya, your dog is too powerful, the old cow has made it fall back in fright." Qiuping's sister-in-law stood far away at the gate, which frightened Heizi.
Shen Ruolan hurriedly yelled, "Heizi, don't bite, your own!"
Sure enough, Heizi shut his mouth, and obediently went back to his den to sleep.
Shen Ruolan opened the fence door, let the couple in, and said with a smile, "Where did this old scalper come from? I originally only invited one person, but one more person and an old scalper came. I've earned it."
Qiuping's sister-in-law gave her a hand, and said with a smile, "Don't be poor, hurry up and work. I borrowed the old cow from your mother's family to use it for you. As long as you have this little land, we will give it to you in two days. You're done plowing."
Shen Ruolan jokingly said: "Are you stupid? If you work a few more days, you can get more wages. You can finish the work in two days. Where can you make money?"
Qiuping's sister-in-law said, "I'm not stupid. Baba borrowed cattle for you to plow the land, and I have to go to the big forest in the back mountain to pull the rotten leaves and soil for you."
When Shen Ruolan heard that she wanted to take the initiative to help her pull the rotten leaf soil, she was so moved that she didn't want it. They all said, "A crop is a flower, and it depends entirely on dung." If you want to grow crops well, you must have rich fertilizers. There is no better fertilizer, with the blessing of this kind of fertilizer, the harvest will definitely not be bad!
"Thank you sister-in-law, I'm worrying about running out of fertilizer, and you've helped me a lot!"
Qiuping's sister-in-law smiled and said: "Thank you, thank you, we can be regarded as two generals, and we are not afraid of your jokes if we say it. Our family has been hungry for several days. If you didn't give you this job for Brother Daqing , My family is almost unable to provide even thin ones. Now it’s all right, with this day’s 50 Wen, the family can eat dry meals every meal, and meat every now and then. "
It turned out that Mrs. Xie's family was a little bit sorry for Shen Ruolan's too much wages, but the family was in difficulty, and they had no choice but to take it. After thinking about it, the family decided to look for work, try to do as much work as possible, and make the work more difficult. Well done, so that she can take her fifty-cent salary with peace of mind.
After saying a few words, Qiuping's sister-in-law and Daqing went to work in the front garden, Shen Ruolan went back to the house, Shouya had already boiled the washing water for her, while Ruolan was washing and dressing, Shouya went again The back garden fed all the animals, and when Shen Ruolan finished washing and cooking, Shouya had already finished feeding the animals and went to fetch water with a bucket.
When making breakfast, Shen Ruolan deliberately cooked a little more, and brought out a portion for Xiao Zhuzi. The child had been suffering from illness since he was a child, and took medicine all day long, just like a male version of Lin Daiyu.
Shen Ruolan doesn't know much about medicine, but she knows a little about health preservation. She feels that medicine is not as good as food supplements. As long as she eats more nutritious food and strengthens her body, will all diseases be cured
Of course, this is just her wishful thinking. The child belongs to someone else, and it is up to them to decide how to feed him. She can only give him some nutrition according to her own ideas, so that he can grow stronger. .
Breakfast is steamed buns stuffed with pork and cabbage. The dish is beef and radish soup. The combination of meat and vegetables is nutritious and delicious.
After the buns were steamed, Shen Ruolan wrapped four big ones in oiled paper, and filled a large bowl of beef and radish soup for the thin girl to eat first. She took the buns and brought the soup to Xiao Zhuzi.
When they arrived at Mrs. Xie's house, Mrs. Xie's family was eating too. There was a plate of pickled potherb in the middle of the table, and a bowl of wild vegetable porridge with thin soup in front of each of them.
"Yo, why is Lan Ya here? Didn't your brother Daqing and sister-in-law Qiuping come to work at your house?" When Aunt Xie saw Shen Ruolan coming, she hurriedly put down her chopsticks and stood up, receiving her politely.
Shen Ruolan smiled and said: "Go, I've already gone, I've already done it, you sit down and eat yours, and leave me alone."
As he spoke, he put the oiled paper bag in his hand on the table, and said, "I steamed the buns in the morning, and I brought a few here for you to try."
He also put the soup bowl on the table, "Eating steamed stuffed buns alone is too choking, and eating and drinking with soup is the best."
Aunt Xie opened the oiled paper bag, looked at the big white buns, then looked at the bowl of beef soup with oily flakes floating in it, and said movedly: "Lanya, what are you doing? Let your brother Daqing be with you We are all grateful for the money our family makes, so how can we still send things to our family? These things are not worth the money, so it would be nice to keep them for ourselves!"
"Bun, grandma, I want to eat buns."
When Zhu Zi saw the steaming big white bun, he was so greedy that he picked his mouth.
"Okay, Aunt Lan will bring it to Zhu'er." Shen Ruolan picked up a big bun and stuffed it into Zhu'er's hand. Zhu'er was holding the big bun, smiling with her small front teeth bared.
Aunt Xie touched her grandson's head with pity, and sighed, "Then this time the aunt will not be polite to you, and she will not be able to waste things here in the future. The aunt knows that you are not short of money, but the flow of water is long, and the money is still there." Save some money to last long, it's no good for someone as lavish as you... "
"You man, you don't sound good when you talk. Lan Ya came to deliver buns to our house. You said you taught him a lesson, really!" Shen Delong heard the old woman's rambling, afraid that Shen Ruolan would not like to listen. , hastily interrupted her words.
Aunt Xie glared at her old man, and said: "This is our mother's business, you don't care about it, I didn't treat Lan Ya as an outsider, so I just said a few more words, and I would not hesitate to ask someone else to say it." say."
"Yes, you are right, I can't say no to you." Shen Delong couldn't say no to Mrs. Xie, so he turned to Shen Ruolan, smiled and said: "Lanya, don't listen to your aunt, she is getting old, and she is not talking anymore Use it, you don't need to pay attention to her."
Shen Ruolan said with a smile: "Since I was young, I was the one who took care of me the most. I don't listen to anyone in this village, but I have to listen to my aunt!"
"Listen, listen!" Aunt Xie said proudly and touched, "I just said that Lanya is a caring child, and I can't love her for nothing. How about it? Let me hit the mark."
The old aunt said cheerfully, "How old are you two, and you are still bickering in front of the children, so you are not afraid that the children will laugh at you."
"What's the joke? This is what a family should look like. It's great for the whole family to chat and laugh together, and make jokes!" When she said this, Shen Ruolan's eyes showed a little envy.
She also wants such a bustling home, where the whole family sits together talking and laughing, it would be great, if only her mother hadn't left, maybe she has several younger siblings now, and the family also Can be as warm and lively as their home...
Why!
Maybe it was infected by her father, now she always thinks of her mother and feels sad, although she has no impression of that mother at all, but whenever she sees a family with a big family and a beautiful and beautiful family, she will feel sad Can't help but think of that person.
Where has she been for so many years? Why is there no news at all? Even if she doesn't care about her father, doesn't she also care about her daughter
Or, is she no longer alive
Thinking of this, she felt a little sad in her heart. Although she had never seen her before and had no impression of her, that person was her mother, her close relative by blood. How could she not be tempted
Xiao Zhuzi was very greedy for the big bun in his hand, but he was a sensible boy. Although he wanted to eat the bun after getting it, he didn't eat it right away. You eat first."
Grandpa Shen looked at his great-grandson with a smile, and said lovingly, "Zhu'er, let's eat. Grandpa is old and doesn't like meaty food, but porridge with wild vegetables."
Zhu'er brought the buns to his grandma again: "Grandma, you eat."
Seeing that her great-grandson was so filial, the old lady laughed so hard that all the wrinkles on her face piled up: "Grandmother is just like your great-grandfather, she's getting old and can't digest meat, Zhu'er should eat it by herself."
"Grandpa, eat it." The child raised the bun to Shen Delong again.
How could Shen Delong be willing to eat his grandson's partial eclipse? He touched his grandson's head and thought of a crude excuse: "Grandpa has a stomachache, so he can only feed himself with porridge. Let Zhu'er eat it by himself."
"Then, grandma, you eat."
The little boy brought the meat to Aunt Xie's mouth again, and Aunt Xie kissed her grandson: "Grandma doesn't like steamed stuffed buns, let's save them for Zhu'er."
Xiao Zhu'er carried the buns around but didn't send them out. He looked at the elders with wide eyes, wondering why they didn't like such delicious food!
Watching this scene, Shen Ruolan began to fall in love with Xiao Zhuzi from the bottom of her heart. Such a young child is at the age of food protection, but he knows to let the elders eat the delicious food first. I have to say, this child is really a sensible one.
If it were the little bastard from Shen Dachui's family, he might be gobbling it up now and looking ugly!
**
After returning home, Shouya had finished eating, so she left two steamed buns and a bowl of soup for her, and she went to clean the sheepfold with a broom and to replace the sheepfold with clean straw...
Shouya is like this, she can’t rest for a moment, if she is left alone for a while, she will feel guilty, feeling that Lanya rescued her, provided them with good food and drink, bought them clothes and headbands Well, if she is idle and does not work, she will be too sorry for Lan Ya, and also for her own conscience.
So, she was looking for work all day long, and Shen Ruolan told her that she couldn't do it several times, so she had no choice but to let her go.
After eating breakfast, Shen Ruolan cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, took out a pen and paper, and began to help Madam Duan design clothes.
People in ancient times were conservative, and she certainly didn't know how to design fashionable clothes for her, and she might not dare to wear them, so she could only work hard on the colors of the clothes.
Most of the noble ladies' clothes in this era are embroidered with peonies, peonies, chrysanthemums, plum blossoms and so on. They are all common flowers. For example, embroidering pomegranates and bats together means more children and more blessings; embroidering magpies and phoenix trees together means being happy together;
Although such a pattern is auspicious, it is a bit ordinary. If you want to be eye-catching and beautiful, you can only find another way.
After thinking for a while, she decided to try cartoons, because Mrs. Duan is not very old now, only in her thirties. Wearing cartoons not only catches the eye, but also looks young and cute. If she dresses appropriately, maybe It can also be a blockbuster.
As a result, a series of simple and lovely cartoon patterns were drawn, and they were also imbued with auspicious meanings. For example, draw a cute and cute kitty cat, around a big peony flower, chasing butterflies to play, It is "old and rich".
'Old man' means a long-lived old man! "Mao Die" has homonyms and homonyms with cats and butterflies, and "Mao Die Fu Gui" means longevity, health, and wealth, which is what everyone pursues and dreams. In addition, the cats on the pattern are so cute and cute. It's hard not to think of them. !
She also designed auspicious patterns, family celebrations, etc., all in cartoon style, which are both auspicious and festive, but also cute and cute. After the design, she even wants to make a whole body and wear it!
