rolled up their sleeves one by one, claiming that they were the most lucky boys on this street, and they would definitely kill all sides today, threatening to fight with Song Chongjin for eight rounds.

Song Chongjin smiled and said nothing, glanced at Jian Huaifeng, smiled quite tacitly, and began to shuffle the cards.

The men enjoyed themselves.

Mrs. Zhang and Wang Yongzhu were accompanied by Mrs. Wu to talk, but Shen had to go to the kitchen to take care of them.

It depends on the men's side, whether there is enough tea or something, and they are so busy that their feet don't touch the ground.

It was easy to get to noon, and Mrs. Wu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law accompanied Mrs. Zhang and Wang Yongzhu at a table in the house.

The men were not very willing to eat for a while, who let them call themselves the first brother of Mahjong in Chicheng County one by one, and they wanted to kill all sides, but they sat on the table, and they almost didn't play cards.

After a few laps, I saw that the silver coins next to Song Chongjin and Jian Huaifeng were piled up into a hill.

There have been several groups of people who have changed, and none of them can win money from Song Chongjin and Jian Huaifeng.

This convinces them there?

It was Song Chongjin who spoke, and everyone moved to the courtyard.

Because there were a lot of people coming, there were people playing cards in the wing, and the weather was warm, so they simply set up two tables in the yard, and in the utility room next to the kitchen, they also set up a table for Mrs. Ding and her help.

There are also chicken, fish and lamb on the table, and a few vegetarian dishes are already quite rare.

and filled them with jars of good wine.

Wu Zhongbao is still in the filial piety period, which everyone knows, so he only replaces wine with tea and accompanies guests.

However, with Song Xiaoyin and his brothers, as well as Yao Da and a few at the table, the atmosphere at the wine table is naturally not worried.

It was Mrs. Zhang and Wang Yongzhu, but they used a little casually, talked for a while, and when the men outside had eaten almost enough, they got off the table.

Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu naturally didn't stay for long, and after eating tea, they sat down for a while before leaving.

Wu Zhongbao knew that this place was a little smaller, especially if there were female dependents, it was always inconvenient, so he didn't keep the guests, and got up to see off the guests.

With Song Chongjin taking the lead, the others also said goodbye one after another, followed Song Chongjin and them, and then went home.

Leaving Mrs. Ding and their children to help clean up the kitchen, they were about to leave and go back.

Shen thanked him again and again, and everyone stuffed a small purse.

Mrs. Ding and the others also accepted it with a smile.

As soon as the people were finished, Mrs. Wu couldn't hold on, although she didn't do much work today, but in the end she kept her heart, and as soon as the guests left, she went to lie down and rest.

Wu Zhongbao went to clean up the card table in the house, put away the mahjong, and returned it to people after a while.

Shen helped silently on the side, and when Wu Zhongbao went to return mahjong, Mrs. Wu rested in the house, she slowly sat under the porch, beating her waist and legs, while summing up, how to spend the next few days.

As soon as this warm house is over today, the Shen family will have more than a hundred dollars left in his hands.

I don't know when Wu Zhongbao will be able to get the silver money back, Shen thought about the hundred or so big money, and at least half of it was given to Wu Zhongbao.

He was a man walking outside, and he couldn't have no money on him.

At the end of the month, she has to settle the bill for the delivery today, and she has to think of ways to make money.

When Wu Zhongbao came back, what he saw was Shen's appearance in a daze.

Although he didn't love a woman like Shen at first, after several years of marriage, Shen has done everything since he got married, which made him gradually soften his mind.

Wu Zhongbao is not that hard-hearted, after going through so much, he realized that the Shen family is good, but maybe it was because of him before, he delayed the Shen family, and after marrying someone else, he didn't let her live a good life, and he felt really guilty in his heart.

Seeing her like this, she first whispered: "It's cold on the ground, be careful not to catch a cold." ”

Shen nodded respectfully as always: "Got it." ”

Wu Zhongbao didn't know what to say for a while, so he only asked again: "What about my mother?" ”

Shen replied in a low voice: "My mother is still resting." ”

Wu Zhongbao was not at ease in the end, and when he entered the house, he saw that Mrs. Wu was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed, and then withdrew.

Shen also got up slowly, entered the house and saw half of the room with gifts, and then folded up his spirit to write a list, whoever gave it, he had to record it one by one, and he would return the gift in the future.

In addition to Wang Yongzhu's daily necessities, Song Xiaoyin and his brothers, there is no woman in the family, how do they know what to send to the warm house?

They all came directly with a gift of one or two pieces of silver, and some of the others came with five hundred dollars and some with one hundred dollars.

Others send half a ruler, a dozen eggs, or a piece of mutton.

Shen has a good memory, when she received the gift, she remembered who gave it to whom, and at this moment she transcribed it once and then checked it correctly, so she was relieved.

For a long time, I received a gift of seven or eight taels of silver, as well as some odds and ends.

Shen breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he had these gifts, otherwise he would really have to live as a thing.

They just arrived in Chicheng County, if they went to be something, they were seen, but they were afraid that it would be another gossip.

Wu Zhongbao saw that Mrs. Wu was fine, washed his face and came into the house, looked at the gift list and put it down: "You can keep this money for household use, don't worry, with me, I can't be hungry for you and my mother!" ”

If it is an ordinary woman, after hearing this, not to mention that she is moved to tears, at least the husband and wife should say two heart-warming words to each other.

But Shen said with a calm face: "What my husband said is that I have always been very relieved. ”

Wu Zhongbao felt that he felt like a punch on the cotton, and he couldn't use his strength, and he couldn't say that it was uncomfortable.

Seeing Shen's calm and tired look, his throat was blocked, and he couldn't say anything.

Shen didn't seem to see him at the moment, and lowered his head to put the gifts in order.

Wu Zhongbao looked at it, suddenly became angry, snatched the thing from Shen's hand, and threw it to the side: "You're tired all day today, why don't you go to lie down?" These things won't run tomorrow if they're put together—"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull Shen's family.

Shen Shi seemed to sigh silently, and was obediently pushed onto the kang by Wu Zhongbao, and said undoubtedly: "You rest for a while, I'll clean up!" ”

Shen didn't argue with Wu Zhongbao, he closed his eyes very softly, and after a while, he fell asleep.

Wu Zhongbao sat on the edge of the kang, looking at Shen's not very beautiful, only delicate face, and his expression was very complicated.

He's not stupid.

Shen is gentle and quiet, he can be filial to his parents, he can manage his family, and he can embroider to subsidize his family, no matter how hard he suffers, he has never complained a word.

Others say that she is a good daughter-in-law, and it is the blessing of his ancestors to accumulate virtue, and she has to be such a good wife.

But he knew that it was just because Shen didn't care, or rather, Shen didn't expect anything from him.

Whether he is good or bad, for the Shen family, there is no difference.

But he clearly remembered that when the two were married at the beginning, Shen was not like this, she was still a little girl at that time, and she ran into him by chance, shouting Brother Zhongbao in her mouth, her face was red, and the light in her eyes was brighter than the stars in the sky.

But now the Shen family, there is no light in his eyes for a long time, only eternal gentleness and quietness.

When facing him, he won't blush, and he won't call Brother Zhongbao anymore, he will only call his husband calmly.

Somehow, he suddenly missed the little girl who would call him Brother Zhongbao with a red face.

Wu Zhongbao knew that maybe he refused to marry, or maybe he kept delaying not marrying her, which made her suffer too many grievances, suffer too much, and listen to too much gossip.

So the little girl was gone, and only the now calm Shen was left.

He wanted to make amends, and wanted to tell Shen that he would treat her well and make up for her!

But every time he looked at Shen's eyes, he couldn't say a word.
