Chapter 28 Chapter 28 God has sent food (revised)

Shen Moer picked up the thing in her hand. It had a thin head and a pointed beak, and its fur looked finer than that of a domestic chicken. It was clearly a pheasant.

If someone's chicken accidentally ran away and ran into her house, Shen Moer could understand it, but if a wild chicken ran into her house for nothing, Shen Moer felt that it was only because God knew that she wanted to cook a meat dish and sent the dish directly to her.

Not only did he send the father and daughter to this world, but he also directly gave her meat dishes. Could her father be God's biological son?

But if her father is God's biological son, then her uncle the emperor is naturally also the son. They are brothers from the same father and mother. God can't favor one over the other, right?

Then, I wonder where God sent her uncle?

The pheasant was strangled by Shen Moer's neck. Its small green bean-like eyes stared at the person in front of it, and a dying whimper came from its slender throat, finally interrupting Shen Moer's somewhat scattered thoughts.

Seeing that there was a rope hanging on the pheasant's wings, Shen Moer simply used the rope to tie up the pheasant in no time.

When she walked out with the pheasant, she bumped into a skinny young man. The young man grinned, his white teeth sparkling in the sun: "Cousin Moer, you are so quick! This chicken is so fierce. It tried to run away all the way. It bit me several times."

Shen Moer was originally wondering who this person was, but after hearing him speak and looking at his features carefully, she realized that this was indeed her adopted cousin, Zhao Zhengyang, the eldest son of Sixth Aunt Shen Yinyin's family.

Shen Laoqi is the youngest child in the family, with six brothers and sisters. The eldest is Shen Shengli, the second is Shen Yongjun, the third is Shen Hongbing, the fourth is Shen Xianghong, and there should have been a fifth child, but it is said that he died in his teens. The first five were born to Mr. Shen’s first wife. Shen Laoqi’s biological mother only gave birth to two children, the sixth sister Shen Yinyin and the seventh child Shen Shaoyuan.

Shen Yinyin is six years older than Shen Laoqi. She got married when the old man was still alive. She married in the village where her biological mother came from. The village is called Beishan'ao. Although it also belongs to Liuqiao Commune, it is actually very remote. It is a small mountain village in the deep mountains and it is very inconvenient to go out.

So although Chen Yinyin missed her only brother who had the same father and mother, due to objective conditions, she would only come back during the Spring Festival.

Shen Moer looked behind Zhao Zhengyang and saw a middle-aged woman with a shaggy haircut and a dark complexion. This was Shen Yinyin. Next to Shen Yinyin stood a young man who was the same dark and thin as Zhao Zhengyang but looked younger. He was Shen Yinyin's second son Zhao Zhenghui. She should have a little daughter named Zhao Tingting, about fourteen or fifteen years old. She would come with her brother to pay New Year's greetings in previous years, but she was not seen this time.

Shen Yinyin was talking to Shen Shaoyuan: "I heard that the third sister-in-law robbed your family of food, and Moer was so hungry that she fainted on the ground. You said that your family had no food, why didn't you send someone to send me a message?"

She knew that her younger brother had always been honest, and the older brothers and sisters had always been bullies. Thinking about the most difficult three years, everyone had survived, and now that the harvest was good, they, father and daughter, almost starved to death. Shen Yinyin couldn't help but shed tears.

"That happened several months ago. We got our food back later, and I also got back the money for the three brick and tile houses they occupied. Now I'm building a new house." Shen Shaoyuan consoled him, "Don't worry. When Mo'er fainted from hunger in the field, I didn't sleep all night. I figured it out after thinking all night. Even if I don't do it for myself, I have to do it for my daughter, right? I will stand up for myself in the future."

Shen Yinyin wiped her tears and looked at the construction site next to her which was in full swing, and was surprised: "Is this your family building a house?"

When she came over and saw it, she thought someone in the village had arranged the foundation next to Lao Qi's house, but it turned out that the new house belonged to her brother?

All of a sudden, my tears stopped flowing.

How was this different from what she had heard?

However, Shen Yinyin soon realized that their Beishanao was too remote and the villagers had little contact with the outside world, so the news was extremely isolated.

Take this time for example. The food in her brother's house was stolen two months ago, but she just learned about it yesterday from a young wife in the village who went down the mountain to visit relatives.

It's been two months, isn't it normal that things have changed?

Although this change was a bit too shocking, she heard that they were almost starving to death, but when she came here she saw that they were building a new house in a booming manner. Shen Yinyin's mood was so up and down that she was extremely excited.

But Shen Yinyin immediately wiped away her tears: "Building a new house is good, building a new house is a happy event, we can't cry. You said your family is going to build a new house, such a big thing, why don't you send a message to Beishan'ao, calling your brother-in-law and nephew to come and help? Fortunately, we are here today, just in time, let Zhengyang Zhenghui help with the work, and I will help Mo'er cook."

Shen Shaoyuan smiled and said, “I forgot about it because there were so many things to do, and it’s not convenient for you to go down the mountain.”

In fact, although he had Shen Laoqi's memories, he was not Shen Laoqi himself after all, and he didn't think of this biological sister at all.

However, from Shen Laoqi's memory, he also knew that this biological sister was very good to their family, especially after Shen Laoqi's wife passed away. Even though Shen Yinyin came less often, she would bring a lot of things every time and helped Shen Laoqi and his daughter a lot.

Shen Yinyin glanced at Shen Shaoyuan: "You do seem to be a little different from before. It's a good thing that you can stand up, but we are siblings. If you need help, you can't ask others, so can't you ask me?"

Shen Shaoyuan thought to himself, how could I be someone who can't ask for help? I even dare to ask the emperor for help.

Because he had the memory of Shen Laoqi, he didn't feel strange to Shen Yinyin. On the contrary, he felt quite friendly. Moreover, he was used to talking to his brother, so he had nothing to be embarrassed about when it came to his sister. So he confidently directed his two nephews: "Okay, Zhengyang Zhenghui, come and work."

Two guys who came down the mountain at dawn and waded through the river without even a sip of water: "..."

In fact, these days, the deeper you go into the mountains, the better life is than outside. You live by the mountains and the water. Not to mention other things, there are more pheasants and rabbits in the mountains than outside.

There are not many households in Beishan'ao, and everyone is very united. There used to be an old hunter in the village who was not shy about his skills, and many children in the village learned some techniques of finding wild animals and digging traps from him.

Zhao Zhengyang and Zhao Zhenghui also knew a little bit, and they just happened to catch two pheasants a few days ago. When Shen Yinyin heard that her brother was almost starving to death, she directly asked her son to bring both pheasants.

In addition to the two pheasants, they also carried a lot of food and dried vegetables.

Shen Moer felt that this was not much different from God directly sending her food.

Shen Yinyin worked very efficiently and had a straightforward personality. When she was preparing meals with Shen Moer, she found out everything that had happened recently.

I heard that the food robbery was actually instigated by Tian Fang, and this person shamelessly called his nephew from his mother's family to come and eat her brother's family. Shen Yinyin couldn't help but spit.

"I knew she was sweet on the outside but vicious on the inside. She said things like she was singing an opera, but she was actually vicious behind my back. When I was looking for a husband, she wanted to get involved. Wasn't it because she saw that my mother was dead and my father was old and confused, and there was no one to support me?"

If her brothers and sisters-in-law had not been eyeing her covetously and wanted to interfere in her marriage, she would not have found a way to ask her aunt for help and married directly to Beishanao.

However, what shocked Shen Yinyin the most was that her brother Shen Laoqi had become a worker in the commune kiln factory!

Shen Yinyin cut the pheasant's neck with a knife, pinched the pheasant and let the blood drip into the bowl, but her expression was blank for a moment: "What, you said that Lao Qi not only joined the commune kiln factory, but he didn't do the hard labor of moving bricks. He went to write and draw for the Propaganda Department?"

Shen Yinyin asked doubtfully, “Can your father write or draw?”

Shen Moer took the chicken from her hand, threw it into the enamel basin filled with boiling water, and said calmly: "My father can do it. My mother taught him every day when she was alive. It's just that he has been doing farm work in the village and has no chance to write, let alone paint. This time it was just a coincidence. The propagandist of the kiln factory was sent down, and they were anxious to find someone, and my father happened to meet him."

After a brief shock, Shen Yinyin soon smiled happily: "So your father is a worker now. Oh, our family's seventh son has finally come to an end. He cried so much in the past. After our mother died, our father became old and confused. When he was a teenager, he went up the mountain to chop firewood every day for his brothers. Later, he was lucky enough to save your mother, and then he had his own family. When the two of them got married, they didn't even have a good bowl of rice..."

As she laughed, tears welled up in the corners of Shen Yinyin's eyes again. She wiped them with the back of her hand, sniffed, and said, "Why am I mentioning these? This is a good thing. Your life as father and daughter will be better in the future."

When she heard that her brother's family had no food to eat, she was so anxious that she packed up her things at night and asked her two sons to accompany her down the mountain before dawn.

This is her only biological brother!

Those ruthless people mentioned above don’t count.

With Shen Yinyin's help, Shen Moer suddenly felt much more relaxed. Later, Aunt Chen and Sister Xinmei also came. The four of them divided the work and cooperated, making it even easier.

As a result, the people working outside soon smelled a rich meaty aroma that was even more fragrant than roasting rabbit meat.

While working, Zhao Zhengyang said with a smile: "This pheasant is much more delicious than the one my mother cooks. It's so delicious that I almost want to eat it."

Zheng Jiamin, who could strike up a conversation with anyone, brightened his eyes and asked, "Brother Zhengyang, is this pheasant being roasted?"

Zhao Zhenghui interrupted: "It's just a pheasant. My brother and I caught them in the mountains. One of them was quite fierce and might have bitten someone. But chicken meat is delicious, much more delicious than rabbit meat."

Zheng Jiamin gave a thumbs up: "Brother Zhenghui, from the sound of your voice, you must have eaten a lot of pheasants and wild rabbits, right?" He blinked and expressed his envy with a smile.

Zhao Zhenghui: "We live in a remote mountain area. There isn't much else, but there are a lot of wild animals, not only pheasants and rabbits, but also wolves and wild boars. Sometimes our village organizes hunting for everyone, and we share the prey together. We can always eat it once or twice a month." In fact, sometimes it's more than that, but Zhao Zhenghui knew it was not good to talk about this kind of thing outside.

“Your mountain is so nice!”

Zheng Jiamin was really envious. His family was well-off, and several of his parents and brothers were workers. But it was difficult to buy meat in the city these days. Each person was only given a few taels of meat tickets per month, and a large family could not eat meat for several months.

Moreover, after meeting Zhao Zhengyang and Zhao Zhenghui, Zheng Jiamin suddenly understood why Shen Moer was so good at catching wild rabbits. It was a family tradition. Her two cousins ​​were so capable, so it would be enough for her to learn a little from them.

Zheng Jiamin felt that he had seen through the truth.

When they heard that the kitchen was cooking meat, the happiest people were the nephews of Ding Lao Shen's family. They had heard that Shen Lao Qi was generous and prepared solid meals. They also knew that they had eaten meat for two days before. They thought that even if they didn't cook meat next time, they would have fried eggs and solid rice and coarse grains to eat, which would be good.

But I didn't expect that on my first day of work, I would run into them roasting pheasant!

This is really a stroke of luck.

Especially the one who came for the food, his mouth was almost stretched to his ears.

Spurred on by the rich aroma of meat, the enthusiasm of the group of people working increased rapidly. When they thought about eating chicken and drinking chicken soup soon, they felt full of energy and unconsciously speeded up their movements.

Shen Shaoyuan was slacking off and directing the work, thinking that at this rate, the project would be completed at least three days earlier than expected.

As expected, food and fodder must be sent before troops move out. This principle applies to all things in the world.

At a certain moment, a shout came from the direction of the kitchen: "It's time to eat——"

I saw that those who had been working honestly almost immediately put down the work at hand and rushed to the kitchen.

If you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your thinking.

Charge!
