Little husband's market life

The old lady Sheng also missed her eldest grandson, and went back to her courtyard to sit by the brazier. She also used chopsticks to stick the hot steamed cakes in her hands.

Sheng Gang wanted to eat even one piece, and said aggrievedly: "Brother is not here, there is no glutinous rice cake this year."

Sheng Yao asked puzzledly: "Grandma, is there not enough glutinous rice this year?"

Every household in Longjing Village grows some glutinous rice, some of which are ground into flour, and people in Jiangzhou eat glutinous rice balls during the Chinese New Year, and some of them are steamed and made into glutinous rice cakes.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, before Mrs. Sheng opened her mouth, a rare visitor came to their yard. The daughter-in-law of the third room came to complain to her mother-in-law shaking her arms.

She didn't go into the house even when she came, and stood at the door, "Mother, the third daughter-in-law came to talk to you... I won't go in, so don't let Gang'er breathe in the air."

Sheng Yao didn't want to ask any more questions, and watched his grandma pass the cake to Sheng Gang, and went out to lead his third aunt to the small hall.Sheng Yao sat against the wall with his younger brother in his arms, and listened openly through the earthen wall.

"Mother, it's not me with a small stomach and chicken intestines. There are about ten children in this family. They are waiting for the twelfth lunar month to eat some glutinous rice cakes and sweet mouths... It's good for Xue girl. She took all of them and sold them in the county." The third aunt pulled the old lady hand, and said softly and complaining.

Old Madam Sheng obviously knew about this, "You are considerate, that girl is also worried about her brother's medicine money."

"It's really not that I don't understand. It's summer. The rice noodles, red beans, soybeans, and peanuts at home are taken by my sister-in-law's family to make pastries. My son is greedy. What did they say? The little girl pulled her long face and said she wanted to change it." The one who saved the life-saving money insisted on refusing to let me eat any of it, but that is also her own cousin!"

……

It's really impossible for people in this big family to say that there is no contradiction at all.Everyone cares about different things. The daughter-in-law of the third room just held her breath. Why would she not give her baby a piece of cake? She was considerate of the little medicine jar at the sister-in-law's house, but the sister-in-law didn't show her generosity at all. Since she has suffered a loss and has yet to please her, why should she suffer?

"According to what my mother said, the whole family is never hungry, but how can the children be full? They will eat and drink soon after putting the bowls on. I heard that the lame Sun's baby was playing outside and was hungry." If you don’t eat grass, oh mother, do you know? What you eat is heartbroken grass, and in just one night, the baby will be gone!”

It was so frightening that Mrs. Sheng was frightened, "There is such a thing? It's been cold these days, and I haven't been out of the yard much, so I haven't heard of it."

"I was shocked when I heard it. I couldn't sleep well at night. Mother, for the sake of these grandchildren who are still young, please tell my sister-in-law. I... When I think of me When I'm busy, my son also grabs a bunch of heartbroken grass... I really don't want to live."

While talking, the third aunt really shed tears, and Mrs. Sheng coaxed her for a while.

The third aunt sniffed, and then said: "When farming, everyone in the family is busy, and the collection is done together. No one has been lazy, or we can divide it fairly, or the sister-in-law will take out the money. Buy it, and the money will be handed over to your mother, I believe that mother will prepare some sweets for the grandchildren."

The old lady Sheng still coaxed her, and only said: "Stop crying, what does it look like for the children to see? Mother knows, and mother will talk to the eldest daughter-in-law..."

... The daughter-in-law of the third room said some heartfelt words again, her mouth was dry and she didn't dare to drink the water in Shenggang's yard, so she got up and left.

The old lady Sheng put away the stool and went back to the room. Seeing Dasun's expression, she waved her hand, "Don't worry about it, just pretend you didn't hear anything."

Sheng Yao didn't want to worry about it either, because he had no status and he didn't have the skills.After the next year, he will go back to the county school to study with the talented students. Although they are all talented, there is still a small examination for admission.

Qiao Zhishu hugged Sheng Gang while rubbing the moxa sticks. It was never his turn to speak up about the Sheng family's affairs.It is also because of his tight mouth that he is the first to know many things about the Sheng family.

For example, a few days later, when Qiao Zhishu was peeling peanuts in the yard of the long house, Sheng Xue and Fang He did not avoid him.

"Brother passed the examination as a scholar, how much money did he save second uncle's watermelon patch? Did he ever share more watermelons with the family? To be fair, my family should share more. The pen, ink and paper used by elder brother to study are all paid by my father. "

Fang He didn't have much knowledge, and his understanding of the truth was limited. Hearing what his daughter said at this moment was indeed the case, so he naturally agreed.

"That's right, we are the only ones who offer the offerings, and everyone enjoys the blessings."

Sheng Xue: "It should be said that we are still a family. It doesn't look good for us. When my shop opens, maybe there will be troubles."

"Then what should I do? Good girl, when you grow up, you think farther than your mother. If you have an idea, just say it, and my mother will handle it."

Sheng Xue lowered her head and smiled, "I've saved enough money to buy a shop in the county. They won't ask for points, but we will."

Be stingy, it's not good to see people, who would want to live with them?In her previous life, Shenggang's illness dragged down her family. During that time, none of the uncles and aunts were generous, which caused her to marry hastily. In order to reduce the burden on the family, she made a child. She has the ability to treat her like a kitchen woman... In this life, she doesn't want to wait until her second brother is well-off. She wants to improve herself, choose a husband's family for herself, and she will be the main wife.

Sheng Xue glanced at Qiao Zhishu and said, "Qiao Er, just follow my sister well. My sister promises that you will have no worries about food and clothing in your life, and you will find a good husband."

Fang He heard her daughter's little girl's family say this, and she couldn't straighten her waist with laughter, "Little girl, do you still know your husband's family? Then tell me, what kind of husband's family should Qiaoer match?"

"With my Xiangxue Sweet Cake's big shopkeeper, the status is second only to my boss."

Fang Hele can't fuck you?My good girl, what kind of husband do you want to find? "

Sheng Xue got a little more serious, "Mother, I'm only the main wife, you have to discuss my marriage with me, otherwise I won't count."

Qiao Zhishu looked at them in a daze. His father, mother, brother and sister-in-law used to be monogamous, but now he is still monogamous in the Sheng family. He still doesn't quite understand what the main house and concubine mean.But at the same time, he once again recognized his identity, because even his aunt and sister didn't recognize him as his brother's foster husband.

This year, because of Shengxue making cakes, a series of small conflicts were caused. During the Chinese New Year, we ate at the same table, but the relationship between the two rooms always felt much weaker...

Every room is probably thinking: I hope you are well, but you should not be better than me.

**

Time flies.

Qiao Zhishu lived in the Sheng family for three years under the wing of Sheng Yao. He was 11 years old, and Sheng Yao was seventeen.

This year was the year Sheng Yao made changes...

There will still be many conflicts in the Sheng family. Some conflicts have been resolved, and some have accumulated there, and they will explode at some point.

This year, 13-year-old Sheng Xue bought a shop in the county seat, and told everyone except her parents that she rented it out.

Dafang's family is about to open a pastry shop in the county town. After three years of running a pastry stand, after excluding his brother's medicine money, they finally saved up the money to buy the shop.

Shengxue had never done business in her previous life, so she still thinks the same as the peasants about paying rent every month. All the money she earns goes to the landlord, so if she wants to open a shop, she can open a shop without paying rent. .

In the eyes of outsiders, the Sheng family has Sheng Yao for men and Sheng Xue for women.

Every few days, a matchmaker who came for her knocked on the door of the Sheng family. It was said that the man had the young master of Zuixianlou in the county town, and the nephew of the younger sister of the county magistrate's younger brother. In short, he was either rich or expensive.

But she didn't like any of them, the little girl has high eyesight, she doesn't look down on the wealthy households in the county, and within three years, she will become a wealthy household soon.

Shengxue thinks that the business is getting bigger, so she will need to use her own family, for example, go to the surrounding villages to buy materials such as red beans, mung beans, peanuts, honey, etc. It is better for her family to be more stable. Less two, shoddy as good, what's more, gluttony is possible.

Then this family member is Sheng Yao, who has read books, understands algorithms, knows how to drive, and has big ideas.

It's true that everything is good, but it's a dead-headed person who doesn't have the life to be an official, but he has to get into the imperial examination career.

……

Qiao Zhishu didn't know that his brother was being targeted by his sister, and he was leading Shengchang to catch wild pheasants.Shengchang is nine years old, and he is the little guy who snatched his bread for the first time.Shengchang respected the big hall brother, so he became acquainted with the little brother next to the big hall brother.

While digging rabbit pits, they looked for traces of pheasants.

"On a rainy day, after the heavy rain, take a walk around the woods." Qiao Zhishu looked at the sky, and whispered a jingle for catching pheasants to his younger brother, "In the early morning and late evening, the foraging rooster leads the charge."

Pheasants like to eat grains, and sprinkle the grains soaked in wine into the open space, set up baskets with small wooden sticks, and tie ropes on the wooden sticks, and when the pheasants enter the trap to peck the grains, they will pull the ropes and hold the pheasants in the basket. Let it flop around in the basket for a while, and the chicken will faint when the wine comes up.

Shengchang jumped up happily and sat on the basket.

Qiao Zhishu said worriedly: "Don't let yourself sit down again. If you catch a broken one, how will you catch pheasants in the future?"

"Brother, why do you catch pheasants every time!" Sheng Chang admired the little brother the most when the big hall brother was studying.

Hearing the praise, Qiao Zhishu pursed his lips and smiled. He has grown a lot taller, reaching his brother's chest. The change has been quite big, except that his skin is still wheat-colored, and his face, neck and body are two different colors.

"Not every time, brother is every time."

"If Brother Da Tang is here, he can catch all the pheasants on the mountain!" Sheng Chang could boast even more.

When the two returned to Sheng's house with the pheasant in hand, the house was already on fire.The two brothers each carried one, and swaggered back to their yard, but no one stopped them.

In the past three years, the Sheng family's sisters-in-law, large and small, have had several quarrels, and the old lady Sheng was also upset when dealing with it. If you want, exchange it with silver.

Qiao Zhishu carried the pheasant upside down and called out as soon as he entered the yard.

"Brother, light the fire!"
