Su Tang'er felt sad when she heard this. Shen Xinuo didn't know how much hardship he had endured. No modern child could suffer as much as him.
"Before Qiu Wei, let's earn more money. After all, you are going to the provincial capital to take the exam. You can't do it without money!" Su Tang'er began to think about it silently...
In fact, Su Tanger wants to know why her family doesn't let Shen Xinuo go to school...
Because there is no money? But Shen Xino can make money on his own, not because of money.
Su Tang'er asked, but Shen Xinuo didn't know the reason either! !
*
"Then why don't you give me some money? We went to the market to sell game and made such a big fuss. It will soon reach my mother's ears. Let's give her some money!" Su Tanger said.
Shen Xino thought for a while, "Then give me ten taels of silver. If you give me too much, it will fall into the hands of my uncle."
"Okay! Listen to you!"
Ten taels of silver is quite a lot.
In the past, all the money Shen Xino earned from hunting was in the hands of the Wang family, and the Shen family lived in such a tight life, so as expected, the Wang family gave it to her younger brother! !
Shen Xino had repaired the wardrobe and table at home yesterday, but the wardrobe at home still had no door, so there were some things he didn't want to put in the closet.
They didn't have many clothes, and they put them all in wooden boxes.
There was no rush in boiling the lard. It was summer and the weather was very hot, so the pork couldn't be stored for a long time. So Su Tanger marinated the pork with salt. The meat was extremely fat, full of fat, and couldn't be eaten at all. .
Marinate it with salt and it will be easy to wash the meat when it is boiled in oil at night.
As long as they are very busy now, they don't have that much time to boil oil, so they can wait until night.
Su Tanger put the pork in the cellar instead of in the kitchen, which was what Shen Xinuo asked her to do. Su Tang'er didn't refuse. She didn't like the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law. It would be better to know later than earlier.
After Su Tanger and the others tidied up, they also went out to work.
Su Tanger and the others followed Shen Xino to the field with water, and saw a field of yellow peas, which were already dry and yellow. At first glance, everyone is busy.
Fortunately, although the ground is a bit steep, the area is not large.
Su Tang'er didn't know much about crops, and she rarely saw her in her previous life. Even if she did, it was a long time ago and she couldn't remember clearly.
But the wheat was harvested yesterday, and the peas can be harvested today. Do peas and wheat come out in the same season? !
Shen Xino looked at Su Tang'er funny and said, "I'm not particularly clear about other places, but the book says that the north and south directions are different, and our Linshan County is located in the south, so our crops here are harvested in two seasons. But wheat and peas are harvested in one season, both in this month, and it’s July and August now!”
"So that's how it is!" Su Tanger nodded in understanding.
After arriving at their own field, she saw Aunt Zhou talking to her mother-in-law Wang from a distance. Su Tanger knew from Wang's expression that they were unhappy.
Probably because of the old hen.
When Aunt Zhou saw Su Tang'er coming, she ran away in fright without saying anything. Su Tang'er looked at Aunt Zhou's running back and shook her head helplessly.
"Are Aunt Zhou afraid that I will cause trouble for him?" Su Tang'er touched her nose.
Shen Xino said: "She is not afraid of you, but of me!"
Su Tang'er was stunned, then smiled: "What outrageous thing did you do again? Otherwise Aunt Zhou would be afraid of you. I have never seen Aunt Zhou afraid of others!"
After hearing Su Tang'er's words, Shen Xinuo choked on his saliva and coughed repeatedly, "Don't be so excited, I'm just curious!"
After Shen Xinuo calmed down, he looked at Su Tang'er helplessly, "Actually, it's nothing. One time, Aunt Zhou and my mother got into a fight over a bottle of soy sauce. When I found out, I scared Aunt Zhou. Aunt Zhou was not afraid of me at first, but the next day I went into the mountains to hunt, and Aunt Zhou also went into the mountains to cut firewood. When she met me and shot a wild boar, she was so scared that she cried at the time, so she started to cry when she saw me in the future. run!"
I see.
Shen Xinuo took Su Tanger to the field. There was still a large area of peas that had not been harvested. The whole family was busy, but both Zhu and Lin were too tired to talk to Su Tanger.
But when he saw Su Tanger and the others coming, he took a break and drank some water.
With Shen Xinuo's help, the peas were harvested very quickly. Su Tanger followed Shen Xinuo all the time, and Shen Xinuo also taught Su Tanger how to harvest the peas.
After Su Tang'er had almost met, she went to Wang's side. Wang was already very tired. Su Tang'er brought water to Wang and gave her a drink. She also rubbed Wang's shoulders and followed Wang. Work together.
While working, Mrs. Wang scolded her for not knowing how to work, and at the same time she was secretly happy about Su Tanger's change, but her face full of vicissitudes of life did not show the slightest joy.
Su Tang'er didn't take it seriously either, as long as she could change her original impression among everyone.
Given time, she believes everyone will like her now.
By the time the sun went down, they had finished harvesting the peas in the field.
Shen Xino and the others tied up the pea stems, and also tied up a small pea stem for Su Tang'er and asked her to go back first.
The pea stem looked big, but it wasn't very heavy, and Shen Xinuo was considerate of Su Tanger, so Su Tanger didn't feel it was heavy. It was just that Su Tanger seemed a little clumsy when working for the first time.
Wang looked a little upset but didn't say anything.
Su Tang'er staggered home with a small pea stalk in her arms.
After returning home, Su Tanger put down the pea stalks and went to wash her hands.
Her body felt a little itchy, and she wanted to take a bath, but she had to boil oil for a while, and the wash was in vain, so Su Tanger wiped her body with a towel. Then he went to the kitchen, and Shen Xino also came back with water and took out the suet to wash the pork he bought.
But Su Tang'er doesn't know how to boil oil!
She looked at Wang, who had just returned, and walked over with a smile to ask Wang what to do.
Mrs. Wang was a little surprised when she heard Su Tang'er said she wanted to boil lard. Did she really take the twenty taels of silver to buy something
But before Su Tang'er could speak, she heard Shen Xinuo say: "Mom, Tang'er and I went to the market and sold all the game I hunted. I'll give you money after the meal, but this time I won't I will give it all to you, I will keep the money myself!"
Mrs. Wang's face darkened, "I'm your mother. You leave your money with me, but you're still afraid that I won't be able to spend it on you."
"Mom won't spend the money I earn, but uncle will definitely take away my hard-earned money!" Shen Xino said back unceremoniously. He is going to take the exam, which will definitely cost a lot of money. Su Tanger plans to open a perfume shop, which will also cost money. They must save money now.
Wang was frustrated. Just now she was thinking about giving something to her brother. She was very unhappy when she heard Shen Xinuo's words. When Su Tanger saw this, she immediately held Wang's hand and said, "Mom, don't be angry with Xinuo. No, I didn't mean to make you angry." Su Tang'er pulled Wang towards the kitchen, "Mom, you see our family is living in a tight situation and the house is in a dilapidated state. Xinuo also wants to save some money for the future. If you build a new house, you can let mom live in it earlier. Do you think mom wants to live in a new house?!"
