Noon passed quickly, and when it was about the time of unitary, a cool breeze blew in the sky, blowing away the heat, and the sun was hiding behind the clouds.

The Xu family looked at the emptiness at this time, and slipped into the small courtyard of Shen Shuntong and the Yang family.

Yang didn't like Xu, and didn't even give half a smile: "Old family, what's wrong?" ”

"Hmm." Xu nodded one after another, with a smile on his face, and said, "Mother, are you free at this time, can you go out with me?" ”

"Where?" Yang was surprised.

"The daughter-in-law heard that there is an old doctor in Fengjiazhuang, who has the best acupuncture skills, and is the best at treating back pain and leg pain, and the daughter-in-law is worried about her mother when it is cloudy and rainy and cold, and she will shout that her legs hurt, so she thinks about taking her mother to take a look, if the needle can really remove the roots, it is the best." Xu said with a grin.

Yang was overworked when he was young, and his family was poor, and in the winter his clothes were thin, and he was so cold that he had leg disease, but there was nothing to do on weekdays, but if it rained on a cloudy day, it hurt badly, just like many ants were biting, and it was very uncomfortable.

Because it does not affect the life on weekdays, the family has been able to get by in recent years, and often takes herbs to scrub, and the situation has also improved.

"You're filial." Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, and he was bent on treating her, Yang also showed a smiling face.

"My mother has worked hard for this family for half her life, and my daughter-in-law can understand it, and it is also my daughter-in-law's duty to honor my mother, and I should do it." Xu's words were very reasonable, and there was a sense of righteousness and awe-inspiring.

Yang and Shen Shuntong's hearts were comfortable for a while.

These days, the eldest family has been snubbed, and there are very few good faces on weekdays, and maybe the boss and the old family can recognize their mistakes and know that they are filial to their elders.

The old couple couldn't help but smile on their faces.

"Taking advantage of the cool at this time, I specially asked the bolt to borrow an ox cart, let's go together, Futian will go to the field to order sesame seeds later, and then I won't go, Wen Song is shouting to go, just take him." Xu smiled.

Children, they always like to run around, so Yang nodded indifferently and said, "Cheng." He went back to the house and changed into clean and decent clothes, and followed Xu out of the yard with Shen Shuntong.

Shen Xiangmiao and Shen Wentao closed Shen Ji's "door" at the beginning of the time as usual, packed up their things and prepared to go back.

Nowadays, Shen Ji's lo-mei sells well, and the amount of meat and vegetables used every day is also large, and the butchers and vegetable farmers who can do business come to the door and deliver the meat and vegetables to Shen Xiangmiao's home every day on time and in quantity, which saves the effort of buying ingredients every day and is a lot more convenient.

Shen Xiangmiao and Shen Wentao can also travel back lightly every evening.

As soon as I packed up my things, there was a muffled thunder outside, and the raindrops the size of beans fell cracklingly, smashed on the ground, and soon splashed.

Seeing this, Fang Huairen took an oil-paper umbrella from it and handed it to Shen Xiangmiao and Shen Wentao: "It's starting to rain at this time, I'm afraid it's dark to go, you two are afraid that it will be dark if you can't go home, you two just wait for a while, I shouted Dayou to go to the east end of the street and call the carriage to send you back, so it's more convenient." ”

It was raining heavily, it was indeed difficult to walk, the wind and rain were heavy, and I was afraid that the lanterns would not be easy to beat, so Shen Xiangmiao responded.

Fang Huairen immediately called Qiao Dayou to call the car, and after a while, the coachman in the cloak drove the carriage with a shed over, and Shen Xiangmiao and Shen Wentao got into the car and went to Hexi Village.

When I arrived at the village, I first sent Shen Wentao, who was close to the entrance of the village, back, and then went to my own house, and when I arrived at the door, Shen Xiangmiao paid for the car, thanked him, and got off the carriage with an oil-paper umbrella.

Lu Shi kept looking at the door, and when he saw that there was movement outside, he took an umbrella and came out to see, and saw that it was Shen Xiangmiao who came back, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "The sky is not good, the rain is so heavy, and I have been thinking about how you and Wen Taoke will come back." ”

"Shopkeeper Fang helped call a car to send me and Wen Tao back, and let Wen Tao go back first at the entrance of the village." Shen Xiangmiao replied.

Lu Shi was completely relieved and hurriedly went to the stove room to get a bowl.

"Mother, I've eaten." Shen Xiangmiao said as she wrung out the already wet skirt.

The iron egg was in Wen Shu, and when he saw that Shen Xiangmiao was wet, he hurriedly took a dry towel and came over.

"Iron eggs are so good." Shen Xiangmiao rubbed her brother's little head.

Tie Dan smiled, helped Shen Xiangmiao take dry shoes and asked her to change them.

Lu Shi came over with a bowl: "This is ginger soup, I saw that it was raining and quickly boiled some, although it is summer at this time, it is hot, but this rain is also very cold, if it is cold, it is not good, it has been warm on the stove, you drink it while it is hot, drink it and go to your grandparents' house together after drinking ginger soup." ”

Shen Xiangmiao took the bowl and took a sip: "Why are you going to your grandparents' house so late?" ”

"I don't know." Lu Shi shook his head: "It's just that in the middle of the night, your grandparents sent Jingqiu over to call us over, saying that there was something important to discuss, and that our family is now the pillar of the family, and if you talk at home, let's go and listen to it together." It's so late at this time, I'm afraid your third uncle and third aunt are there. ”

Shen Xiangmiao drank the rest of the ginger soup and wiped her mouth: "Send Jingqiu to call us, I'm afraid this matter has something to do with the uncle's family!" Let's take a look first to see what's going on, and then let's deal with it. ”

"That's what happened." Lu Shi nodded, dialed the wick of the oil lamp, still felt that the lamp was still too dim, worried that Shen Wenzhong's warm book at night would hurt his eyes, so he lit another oil lamp on the table, and told him not to read too close to his eyes, rest for a while when he was tired, and take good care of his home, so he and Shen Xiangmiao held up an oil-paper umbrella together, and walked to Shen Shuntong and Yang's courtyard with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

As soon as I arrived in the small courtyard, I saw that the house was brightly lit, and the sound of laughter came from inside, and Xu seemed to have been guarding the door for a long time, and saw Lu and Shen Xiangmiao's mother and daughter coming, and they hurriedly came out to greet them, and they were holding towels and umbrellas.

The mouth was even more babbling: "It's really sad to call you over so late, Xiangmiao has been tired from doing business in the town for a day, and came back in the rain, I'm afraid that it will be tired and cold at this time, hurry into the house, just brew hot tea, and drink a cup of warm body." ”

Ooh!

It is said that she has made Xu suffer a lot of losses recently, and Xu should hate her so much when she sees her, not to mention that she wants to cramp and peel her bones in front of her, and it should be the hatred of scolding when she opens her mouth.

But in front of me, it turned out to be attentive and considerate that I had never seen before.

Shen Xiangmiao had to begin to wonder if the person in front of her, who was cold and warm, and cared for her, was the Xu family.
