Stingy Husband Farming

Master Song didn't take it seriously: "It's not hard to guess what Dad is thinking. He just wants to take care of his two nephews and find work for them and the family." He looked at Song Bai with a smile: "I don't care about the business at home now. It's all about Xiaobai. Don't you know Xiaobai's temperament? You definitely don't support people who live on nothing."

Besides, if I don't agree, it may be that I, an outsider, don't agree with the old man.But if the relatives and grandchildren don't agree, there is nothing to say, right?

Lianniang laughed out loud when she thought about it.But the frown still lingered: "I don't know if you have gone to Yuhu Prefecture, those two over there are really nothing." After thinking about it, the corner of his mouth twitched again: "The old one is not a thing either."

Shen Mu was at a loss when he heard that, Lianniang was also concerned and didn't say anything more.He only said to Song Bai: "I'll have a meal tomorrow, don't embarrass that family! Your grandpa is also an idiot, don't talk to him!"

Going back at night, Shen Mu was very worried: "Why did you tell grandpa like that today that you will have no children in the next year or two, so how can you explain it?"

"We'll be in Shenjiatun tomorrow and next year, and he won't be able to reach you." Song Bai said with a smile, "Actually, we don't spend New Years in the village every year. Originally, we came to live in the village for a while when rent was collected, but Firstly, I went to Fengshui County this year, and my younger sister came to collect the rent by herself; secondly, didn’t I want to let you relax..." This decision is really right, since coming to the village, Shen Mu has really relaxed a lot.

Shen Mu's heart was warm, but he was still a little hesitant: "If you were bluffed in the afternoon, can you really go back to Shenjiatun? Can my parents agree?"

Song Baiqi said: "Is there anything you don't agree to?"

"Isn't it important for parents not to travel far?" Shen Mu is a person who has read sage books: "Children must not be filial in front of them?"

"Even if we don't travel far, Dad and E-Mu will also travel far." Song Bai smiled: "I'm afraid they will set off before us after the new year, and plan to go fishing in the East China Sea in the beginning of spring."

"It's interesting to say that Father's hometown is not here. According to him, the rules over there are very different from ours." Song Bai recalled the past events that Master Song told them when he was a child: "The people over there are different. Pay attention to why the parents are not traveling far, and the children will go to the capital and Songjiang to find work when they grow up."

"Is it so amazing?" Shen Mu also widened his eyes: "I haven't been to the capital yet... The capital is fine, why go to Songjiang Mansion?"

"...Maybe Songjiang Mansion's cloth business is doing well?" Song Bai scratched his head, "Isn't Songjiang cloth very famous?"

Speaking of Songjiang cloth, Song Bai thought of his own cloth business again: "Let's go to Songjiang Mansion later to see if there are any craftsmen who can weave willing to come to our house to do business. Back to Fengshui County, There are many people who know how to weave, let the master teach, maybe Fengshui cloth will be famous in the future."

Letting Song Bai say this, Shen Mu didn't think it was so far away to go back to Shenjiatun and do the cloth business, and he felt a little moved by Song Bai's words.

…………

Early the next morning, the Song family was preparing to go to Xue's yard for dinner.Master Song did what he said, he didn't let the mother-in-law take care of it, and sent the cook and two servants to cook early, and Song Bai accompanied him to pick out some gifts.

Mrs. Liu and Shen Mu were having breakfast in the room. Hearing that the Xue family was not dissatisfied with Shen Mu yesterday, they felt extremely peaceful: "It's good that there is nothing wrong. If he says something, let him say it. A few words won't hurt you."

Shen Mu bit his chopsticks: "Mother...Brother Bo said, inquire after the year, if the disaster is settled, our family will go back to Shenjiatun."

Liu Shi was startled, her first reaction was that the Song family should stop admiring them, and her heart sank when she wanted to drive them back.But looking at Shen Mu's face and the "family" in his words, he couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart: "You, you mean..."

"Brother Bai said that he married into our house, so he should follow us back." Shen Mu lowered his head: "He is also considerate of me..."

Shen Mu's uneasiness these days, Mrs. Liu can also see it, but she also thinks the same as Shen Mu, no one else can help with this matter, Shen Mu can only adjust it by himself.Speaking of which, the Song family treated their mother and son with the utmost benevolence and righteousness, and there was nothing inconsiderate about them.

But now Song Bai can do this for Shen Mu!

Liu couldn't help but think of the way Boss Shen made up his mind to separate from his parents for the sake of her and Shen Mu.

"Okay... okay..." Tears welled up in Liu's eyes: "Mother is your only family member. Normally, wherever you go, mother should go there, but I just can't let go of your father... we all I left, and he was buried there alone...Mother was thinking that there is nothing left to ask for in this life, I just hope that you and Xiao Song can send me back before leaving, and be buried next to your father..."

Liu wiped away her tears: "Have you told your father-in-law about this?"

"Not yet...but Brother Bo said, Mom and Dad will not disagree." Shen Mu said: "I think Brother Bai treats me so well, if Dad and Mom really agree, we will live separately in the future. Half a year, anyway, Fengshui County and Xing'an County are only half a month away, just a little bit of travel..."

"That's a good idea!" Mrs. Liu praised, "Your father-in-law and his family are all kind people. Alas, if you can really go back to Shenjiatun, even if Xiao Song wants to mess with the laborious cloth business, I will help him do it too!"

…………

On the way to Xue's compound, Song Bai was a little unhappy: "If it wasn't for fear of you thinking too much, I really don't want to take you there."

"Why?" Shen Mu actually knew something in his mind. Hearing what his grandma and his parents said yesterday, he knew that grandpa's nephew might not be a popular person.But seeing Song Bai's sullen look, he wanted to tease him to talk more.

In Shen Mu's impression, it was rare for Song Bai to be so genuinely depressed.

"That family is very annoying." Song Bai frowned. "Father doesn't care about things, leave this trouble to me... If they tell you something, don't talk to them."

"I can't figure out the affairs of my own family, and I always come to our house to get mixed up. We can forget it. After all, my surname is Song or not Xue, my uncle is unlucky, and my uncle is the one who upholds justice when the two brothers fight." Song Bai couldn't help complaining a few words: "It's not bad, it's not bad, it's just annoying, and I can't figure it out."

Shen Mu understood.Growing up in the village, he has seen many more people like this than Song Bai.There is nothing else to say, but the word "stupid" can easily cause trouble for others.

But as for why it was posted on their home...

"Grandpa always said that they are a family. They separated early tomorrow. It is said that grandpa didn't like to see these two nephews very much when he was young. Now that he is old and old, it is more romantic."

Sure enough, a "fool" person met someone who loves to take things and show off, and he is also his own uncle, so why not just stick it?

At the same time, during this period of time, Shen Mu also discovered a characteristic of Song Bai: for people who have obvious faults and lack of character, Song Bai handles things neatly; Song Bai is easy to soften his heart when he is old Lai.Of course, due to Song Bai's stingy nature, the advantages will not be taken away, but this little bit of soft-heartedness and refusal to turn his face will make those old people stick to it, and he will be the one who annoys him in the end.

No big loss, just a bad mood.

This was the case with the self-talking Miss Mei before, but Song Bai probably won't turn his back on his relatives now.

But now Shen Mu's mentality is very good: he got the approval of Song Bai's close relatives, grandparents, and received a red envelope; Song Bai promised him to return to Shenjiatun, and once the big stone in his heart was gone, the pressure was gone: "Don't worry, I won't talk to them, even if I have something to say, I won't take it to heart."

Song Bai was comforted in his heart, and sure enough, since the matter of returning to Shenjiatun was brought up, Shen Mu's mental outlook has changed, and he doesn't want to think about it anymore, and he is more confident.

Entering Xue's courtyard, I saw Lianniang sitting on a small stool basking in the sun picking leeks, her face full of displeasure.Xue Bai winked, and Song Xie leaned over: "Grandma, what delicious food did you cook today?"

Only then did Lianniang have a smile on her face: "Your father called the cook and cooked a lot of food."

"I'm tired of eating, so I just want to eat my grandma's stewed meat. Grandma's stewed meat is the most delicious, and no one else can taste it!" Song Xie said coquettishly.

Surrounded by her little grandson acting like a spoiled child, Lianniang felt extremely benefited: "I will stew it for you at night, and send it to your home - now that I cook it, it will be cheaper for others."

Shen Mu was a little surprised, it seems that this old man Xue's nephew is not generally annoying. Grandma looked at this kind and amiable old lady, so disgusted that she didn't even want to eat stewed meat.

Song Bai sighed: "That family... is not living well." Even worse than the average family in the village.

It is said that one person can ascend to heaven, but how can there be so many good things in the world?With so many relatives, how can they take each of them to heaven?

What's more, he didn't go anywhere for a kiss...but he had the fluke mentality of going to heaven.

Coupled with his not diligent and lazy personality, even if he really wants to help, he can't help him.

As the saying goes, emergency is not urgent, and it is okay to give it a chance, but if you want to rely on the support of your relatives who have made a fortune, what is the basis?

Unfortunately, the Song family was the prosperous relative who was counted on to pull chickens and dogs.

"Also, I heard from Eminem that when she was young, grandma suffered a lot from her sister-in-law, so naturally she has more opinions on that side."

Shen Mu nodded, watching Song Xie and Song Xiaomei manage to make Lianniang happy, only to hear an exaggerated female voice outside the door: "Auntie picked the vegetables herself!"

Lianniang finally got a smile on her face, and her face collapsed in an instant. "I don't pick vegetables, can you pick them for me?"

The female voice paused.Shen Mu turned his head, and a round-faced woman pulled a six or seven-year-old boy into the room: "This aunt's brother is very successful, why don't you buy two maids to take care of you?"

"Poor life is poor life, and I have to be served by maids. I'm afraid I'll lose my life." Lianniang fiddled with a few words, threw the clean leeks into the basin, and stood up with the basin in hand: "Go into the house, your uncle." Inside the house." He turned his head and went to the kitchen in the backyard.

The round-faced woman was embarrassed, and turned to say hello to Xue Bai: "Why doesn't Xiaobai buy a maid for my aunt? I heard that the masters and wives of the big family are all served by servants. Don't you also have servants in your family?" ?”

Xue Bai really thought about sending some servants to serve his parents, but Lianniang refused, because he didn't want to spoil old man Xue's temper.I am not the master's fate, but I have a master's temper, which makes the folks laugh at me.

So Xue Bai didn't mention it again.Fortunately, old man Xue and Lianniang are considered healthy, so it won't be too late to hire someone in a few years.

Xue Bai didn't answer, but turned to Shen Mu and said: "This is your second cousin aunt." Then he said to the round-faced woman: "This is my Xiaobai's husband, Shen Mu."

The round-faced woman was once again ignored by Xue Bai, really embarrassed: "An aunt is an aunt, but also a cousin, isn't there a difference?"

"Don't, my brother and my sister-in-law come back during the Chinese New Year, how can I let the child call someone? Isn't this confusing and embarrassing the child?"

Shen Mu looked at his mother's face, and hurriedly said, "Second Cousin Aunt."

The round-faced woman nodded, and looked at Shen Mu carefully.She thinks she is still a very discerning person, seeing the distance between Song Bai and Shen Mu and the hands they hold, she knows that this brother is Song Bai's heart.These relatives know best that the Song family is now in charge of Song Bai, and it is not easy to get some benefits from Song Bai.

After all, now that Song Bai is married and has a husband, it can be regarded as a ray of light for them, leaving a gap.The round-faced woman was a little moved, and shook the hand of the little boy she was holding: "Hei boy, call me sister-in-law!"

This child is called Hei Haier, but he is not called for nothing. The whole child looks like he has rolled in the mud. His clothes are dusty and dirty, and even his skin is black.Because of the cold weather, her little black face was so cold that her cheeks were faintly red.Two snots hung in the middle of the crowd, staring at Shen Mu, but mother shook her hand and didn't call anyone.

The round-faced woman frowned, and patted the child on the shoulder again: "Call me!"

Now the child turned around instead, turned his back to them and started playing on his own.

Shen Mu showed an embarrassed smile towards the round-faced woman: "The second cousin aunt came in to sit in the room, the child may be too cold."

"Yeah, it's really cold today." The round-faced woman went down the steps.While talking, his man also came.Not far away was another family.

Xue Bai introduced to Shen Mu one by one: two families, the latter one is Song Bai's eldest cousin named Xue Gao; the round-faced woman's family is Song Bai's second cousin named Xue Zhong.Each with their wives and children.

There were quite a lot of people, and Wu Yangyang stood halfway in the yard.Xue Bai also felt cold: "Come in, my father is waiting inside."

Xue Zhong responded, and quickly took his wife and children into the house, but Xue Gao's family stood still: "I'm afraid there is not enough room in the house."

This is true, Xue Zhong's family has quite a lot, they have a bunch of children, the older one is about the same as Song Bai, and the younger one is Xue Hei'er.Fortunately, Xue's family also had quite a few houses, so Xue Bai found another room to house Xue Gao's family and set up a brazier.

Shen Mu came back from the kitchen in the backyard, and chatted with Song Bai: "Why do I think Dad doesn't like this family too much?"

"Why do you see that?" Song Bai was a little surprised.Dad is indeed...but how does Shen Mu know?

"I saw today's dishes in the kitchen." Shen Mu wanted to laugh when he thought about it: "My little brother is about to cry."

Master Song is different from Song Bai, he is not a stingy person.But for today's table of meals, I still brought my own cook, but I cooked an ordinary table of farm meals, which was not as good as the Song family's usual meal.

Song Bai couldn't help laughing: "This is wronging my father. Originally, my father was not short of these foods. It's just that when we went to my grandpa's elder brother's house to pay New Year's greetings, we always had to save a meal. All the food we ate was from the farm. Pot dishes, pork stewed with cabbage, vermicelli, etc. As a result, one year my second cousin came to tell my grandma that she cooked for our family and ate five taels of silver. The vermicelli was left at our house years ago."

The farm’s vegetables are all grown in their own vegetable fields, so they only spend some money on meat and oil. No matter how much their family can eat, they can’t eat pork stewed vermicelli for a tael of silver.The round-faced woman told Lianniang that she had eaten five taels, and asked Lianniang to subsidize her back.

Lianniang was so angry that they were not allowed to eat there during the Chinese New Year.Afterwards, when they came to Xue's yard, Lianniang refused to make good things to eat.

But even so, this meal was much better than what they ate by themselves.

Not to mention anything else, there is a large plate of meat with dried plums and vegetables in the center of the table. The slices of meat are as long as the palm of your hand and as wide as four fingers. move.

Sitting down, looking at the room full of people, the vanity of old man Xue was greatly satisfied.There were so many people, two tables were opened directly, one table for men to eat wine, and one table for women, brothers, and children to eat vegetables.

It happened to be separated, and I could also help my nephew speak in front of his son-in-law and grandson.My mother-in-law is getting old, and she even started to fight against me, and she has nothing to do with herself!

What can this man expect when he is old?Just hoping that someone can hold him up, lift him up, and treat him as a useful person when he was young.Of these two nephews, the eldest nephew is an idiot and not sensible, but the second nephew can talk very well, and the flattery can be patted into the heart of old man Xue!

Although this second nephew is actually the least capable and the best ambitious.And it's not that Old Man Xue doesn't understand these things.

Just like this time, even though they came here to curry favor with the Song family, the Xue Gao family wanted their self-proclaimed son Xue Lei to find a job in the Song family's shop.And Xue Zhong's family directly wanted to fight Qiufeng and get money!

"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to go out. You see, my father is also at that age, and you are too old. I have to stay and take care of you?" Xue Zhong held the wine glass and toasted the old man Xue: "It was you who took me with you when I was young. I know you as someone who went out to do work, and you are the most capable person! At that time, no one in the town would say that you were good at carpentry, and you were the best in the whole town!" Xue Zhong made a gesture to the old man Xue. Thumbs, coaxing old man Xue into a ecstasy.

At the other table, the round-faced woman watched her man coax the old man well, not to be outdone.She knew that Song Bai was in charge of the Song family. After coaxing old man Xue, how much money could he get out of his pocket?This Song Bai is different, a little leakage from the cracks of his fingers is enough for them to spend a lot of time!

"Xiao Mu, right? I don't think you've eaten much, can't you reach it?" The round-faced woman smiled all over her face.She was sitting relatively close to Shen Mu, so she simply stood up, took the largest slice from the plate of dried plums and vegetables and put it into Shen Mu's bowl: "You are welcome, you are marrying Xiaobai, this is yourself Home, we are all family!"

Shen Mu looked at the sliced ​​meat in the bowl in surprise.There were no relatives in their family, except Mrs. Liu and Boss Shen, no one had served him food since childhood.When he grows up, there will be only one more Song Bai.

Sitting on the other side of the table, Xue Gao's daughter-in-law secretly gritted her teeth, secretly hating herself for not thinking of attacking Shen Mu and being taken by another family.But for the sake of her son's future, the long-faced woman put a smile on her face, picked up the chicken nuggets in front of her with chopsticks, and put them into Shen Mu's bowl: "This one is also delicious. You young people are thin-skinned, so I am embarrassed to stand up and pick it up." , Tell my aunt what I want to eat, and my aunt will help you."

Shen Mu stared blankly at the sliced ​​meat and chicken pieces in the bowl, feeling quite complicated - he knew that they were asking for something, but he was actually a little moved.

It's a pity that I was moved for only two seconds: a small black claw with mud in the nails stretched out from Shen Mu's face at close range, and directly grabbed the biggest piece of meat in his bowl...

Shen Mu: "!!!"
