Ever since Li Xiang came home to ask for meat, Shen Siyue knew that the news of Shitou hunting pheasants must have spread throughout the village.
Instead of letting others keep thinking about it, it is better to give it away and earn a useful favor.
And the candidate was of course Liu Changshan, the highest-ranking official in the village.
Speaking of which, although Liu Changshan did not agree with some of Shen Siyue’s practices, he did help her a lot.
So she sent him a bowl of meat, and Shen Siyue felt that it was not a loss.
What's more, it's almost spring time and time to go back to work in the fields, and she still wants to be lazy!
When they arrived at Liu's house, Liu Changshan was chatting with his old wife on the kang.
Except for a daughter-in-law who was doing needlework, no one else was at home.
Both of them were surprised at the arrival of Shi Tou and Shen Siyue.
Liu Changshan's wife hurried downstairs and greeted the two men: "Hey, why are you two here? Come in quickly, it's cold outside."
Shen Siyue smiled obediently: “Nothing, Shi Tou and I are idle at home, so we thought of coming to visit.”
Liu Changshan's wife smiled and asked the two to sit on the kang. She was quite curious about this couple who had just got married.
Shen Siyue was not present at many of her "mighty feats", and she heard many things from others afterwards.
She has always known that the old women in the village would exaggerate what they say, and always feel that the news passed around by others is a bit exaggerated.
Plus, Shen Siyue used to be a quiet and well-behaved girl.
So after seeing the current Shen Siyue, she really couldn't associate her with the unfilial daughter who kicked her grandparents and punched her parents.
Liu Changshan was also very happy when he saw the two young people, Shitou and Shen Siyue.
Although the couple had been married for only a short time, when they met each other sometimes, they were always working or hunting in the mountains, giving people the feeling that they were just living a normal life.
At least they are not like the Shen family, who always try to use crooked means to cause trouble for him.
He smiled and said to Shitou: "As expected, now that you have a family, you have become an adult."
"When I looked at you before, I always thought you were still a child, hahaha."
The old woman also echoed: "That's right. Seeing you two getting along so well, your Grandpa Liu and I feel relieved."
One of the couple lost his parents when he was very young, and the other cut off all ties with his parents.
They are truly a difficult couple.
Shitou smiled naively and said, "Thank you for taking care of me, Grandpa Liu. Otherwise, I don't know if I could have grown this big."
Liu Changshan quickly waved his hand: "Don't say that, I didn't help you much, you are a responsible person, with your personality, you can eat anywhere."
Liu Changshan really likes stones from the bottom of his heart.
The young man looks energetic and has a good physique. He does his work honestly and is not particularly stubborn.
If a young man like this had no relatives at home, he would think that if he had a daughter at home, if she married a man like this, she would never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of her life.
If you don't believe it, look at Shen Siyue. It has only been a short time since she married Shitou, but her face has become rosy and she looks much more cheerful.
Unlike before at the Shen family, he was either gloomy-faced or looked ferocious.
Although Liu Changshan's daughter-in-law never stopped sewing, her eyes were always fixed on the two people who came to visit.
Especially the big bowl that Shi Tou brought.
Because there is a bowl on top, you can't see what's inside.
She was very curious.
Liu Changshan and the old woman thought that the two young people had just gotten married and might not have anyone to teach them many things, so they enthusiastically told them many things that they should pay attention to in daily life.
Especially the old woman’s eyes would occasionally glance at Shen Siyue’s belly.
There's no way around it. At her age, when she sees newly married couples, she likes to urge them to have children.
She feels that only with children can a family be considered complete.
Especially for Shen Siyue, Liu Changshan's old wife also knew what kind of life her mother had lived in the Shen family over the years.
She had dealt with Old Lady Wang a lot when she was young, and knew that she was an unreasonable shrew. How could she be nice to her second daughter-in-law who had no son?
So she pulled Shen Siyue aside and quietly told her: "Count the days. If you don't come, remember to ask your Grandpa Yushan to take your pulse. Don't be stupid and do heavy work."
She was afraid that these two people didn't have their parents around and wouldn't even know they were pregnant.
Shen Siyue was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.
She thought that since she and Shitou had no parents, no one would urge her to have a baby, but she didn't expect that the village chief's wife was such a kind-hearted person.
Shen Siyue could only reply somewhat uncomfortably: “Ah, I will pay attention to it, thank you Grandma Liu.”
Seeing her like this, Old Lady Liu thought she was shy and joked, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Once you have one child, you will have experience and will know everything about the rest."
Oh my God!
Shen Siyue felt that she was still a child, and she was not ready to be a mother now.
I could only laugh it off and quickly change the subject.
Over there, Liu Changshan was talking to Shitou about some things about plowing the land in spring.
This is the most important thing at the beginning of the year. Liu Changshan explained it in great detail and Shitou listened very attentively.
Everyone in the room was chatting harmoniously.
Until Shen Siyue took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention and secretly gave the stone a color.
This was the signal they had agreed upon in advance to leave.
Stone understood what he meant.
He stood up and took the big bowl beside him.
After removing the bowl, he said to Liu Changshan's wife, "Grandma Liu, Siyue and I went to the mountains and got two pheasants."
"We don't have any close relatives in the village, so we'll send you some to try."
Mrs. Liu quickly pushed the bowl back and said, "No, no, you two just got married and are in need of food. Keep the meat for yourselves!"
Shen Siyue also came forward to help Shitou persuade him, “This is a little gift from Shitou and me. It’s not much meat, just don’t dislike it from you and Grandpa Liu.”
Liu Changshan and the old woman refused to accept the order no matter what, and the four of them were pushing and shoving each other, making it very noisy.
Finally, Shitou said, "If you don't accept it, we will be embarrassed to trouble you if we have any problems in the future."
Seeing that the two of them were really sending the food sincerely, Liu Changshan had no choice but to wave his hand to the old woman and said, "Okay, take the meat. Go get the bowls and empty Shitou's bowls!"
This time the old woman didn't need to move, Liu Changshan's daughter-in-law took the initiative to go to the outer room and get a bowl.
Just now she wanted to ask her parents-in-law to accept it, but since Liu Changshan always had the final say at home, she was afraid that it would backfire.
