Chapter 119: Feeling Soft
Upon hearing this, Shen Shaojing became happy.
But this was done by his sister. He turned to look at his sister, and his sister said that this was the only way to do this business.
So even though he was happy, he wouldn't talk nonsense at this time.
Shen Yueyao said cheerfully, "Of course I can. How much would you like to order?"
Liu Kang scratched the back of his head and chuckled sheepishly, saying, "Well, I don't know about that either. The Young Master just asked me to find out where you live. Maybe the Young Master will tell you about this."
Chen Yueyao said, "We live in Liuhe Village, which is more than four miles away from here. Just walk east from the east end of the town and you will arrive. There is a big stone at the entrance of the village with Liuhe Village written on it. If you ask the villagers, they will show you the way..."
Shen Yueyao described the place in detail.
When Liu Kang heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Oh, I know Liuhe Village. One of my cousins lives there, so I know where it is."
After a few words, Shen Shaojing said goodbye to Liu Kang.
The two of them walked around and bought some things.
Shen Shaojing also carried his things and returned to Liuhe Village with his sister.
The trip back and forth took quite a while, and by the time we reached the village, the sun had already set.
At this time, the villagers all returned home from the fields carrying their farm tools.
When everyone went home, they walked in groups of three or four on the way from the fields to the village and talked.
Talk about the farming situation and the weather.
Speaking of the weather, everyone can't help but look up at the sky.
"Looking at the weather, it shouldn't rain tomorrow."
Everyone who farms depends on the weather, hoping for rain and good weather. As a result, some people will, over time, figure out some patterns. By looking at the sky and the clouds, they will know whether it will rain the next day.
"I don't know when it will rain. It feels like I'm drawing water from a well. The water level is dropping, and I have to dig my bucket deeper to get water."
"Fortunately, there is water in our village well, which is enough for dozens of families to eat, drink and irrigate their crops. But if it doesn't rain all the time, even if we plant crops, they will easily dry up."
"The village chief said that if it doesn't rain for a while, we should discuss whether we can dig another well."
"When digging a well, location is crucial. Sometimes you'll work in vain and may not even get any water."
Everyone knows that digging a well requires skill, and the whole village has to contribute, so digging a well is not that simple and easy.
If there weren't three wells in the village, it wouldn't be enough.
In the past, when there was water in the river in the village, whoever raised ducks would drive the ducks into the river in the morning, and the ducks would automatically line up to go home in the evening.
Now everyone is rushing to the mountains to see if they can get something to eat.
Some families eat early and start cooking. Smoke is coming out of the chimneys of some houses in the village, and the smoke is rising.
As soon as she returned to the village, for some reason, Shen Yueyao felt her heart become calm and peaceful, and she couldn't help but relax.
Looking at the many elderly people sitting on the street at the entrance of the village picking vegetables and chatting, and seeing the children playing, I feel very relaxed.
It is difficult to see such a view in this technological age.
In the technological age, the pace of life is very fast, and everyone in big cities is busy working every day.
Looking on the streets, you can see many pedestrians rushing around.
Even in the village, most of the people are elderly. Young people rarely stay in the village. Most of them go to work in the city.
So some villages look a bit deserted, not as lively as here.
So even though there is no electricity, no internet, no television, and the food is simple in this era, everyone may be under a lot less stress.
What everyone thinks about every day is very simple.
It’s all about how to have enough food to eat and how to make the farmers’ lives better.
When the weather is good and the harvest is abundant, everyone will be happy.
For the villagers, happiness is very simple.
And according to my memory, it is very lively here during the Chinese New Year, and every household will set off firecrackers.
Both adults and children look forward to the Chinese New Year, and the festive atmosphere here is very strong.
Shen Yueyao was quite looking forward to it.
…
When I got home, Mrs. Meng and Su Erya had already pickled the preserved eggs.
It was also filled with large vats. The large earthenware vats were very large and were most convenient for pickling duck eggs.
Su Erya saw Shen Yueyao coming back and said happily: "Aunt San, you are back, we have put the duck eggs away."
Shen Yueyao touched Su Erya's hair and praised: "Our Erya is great, so capable."
Dabao and Erbao also blinked their big eyes and looked at Shen Yueyao with anticipation.
Dabao said, "Mom, I'll help too."
Erbao said, "I'll help Mom too."
Shen Yueyao squatted down with amusement and kissed Dabao and Erbao on the cheeks.
It seems that they have been eating well recently and have gained weight. Their cheeks have become plumper and fuller, and their dimples are more obvious when they talk.
Shen Yueyao felt her heart soften when she saw them, and she couldn't help but kiss their dimples.
Oh, I want to take a big bite.
"You guys are awesome too. Mom wants to thank you."
Dabao and Erbao were very happy to hear this, but when their mother kissed them, they smiled a little shyly.
Shen Yueyao looked at Erbao and felt that Erbao's eyes really looked like Su Xueyi's, especially when he was shy and lowered his head, his long eyelashes trembling, which made them look even more similar.
Shen Yueyao looked at Erbao and couldn't help but think of Su Xueyi.
Shen Yueyao didn’t see Su Xueyi in the yard, so she wanted to go into the house to see him. She didn’t know how his legs were doing or how much he had exercised.
Just as I walked into the house, I saw Su Xueyi coming out holding on to the wall.
Although it was a bit tiring, Su Xueyi's legs recovered well, and he took a break and walked for a while, insisting on exercising.
So now I can walk about ten steps smoothly.
Sometimes my legs feel sore and weak, and I have to hold on to the wall occasionally.
Looking at the sweat on Su Xueyi's forehead, Shen Yueyao said, "Maybe you've been walking too much. You can't walk so many steps at once. If you practice slowly, it will definitely be fine."
Shen Yueyao stepped forward to support Su Xueyi, letting him sit down and rest, then took out a towel for him to wipe his sweat.
"It's okay, I'm fine, I can go."
Su Xueyi looked cold and lonely, but she actually wanted to get better quickly.
"Look, it's only mid-March now. By April, your leg will definitely be completely healed, just like before your broken leg. You can take the exam in June without any delay."
She didn't quite understand why Su Xueyi was so anxious.
She had just taken Su Xueyi's pulse and could tell that he had been exercising a lot and was a little tired.
Su Xueyi sighed inwardly, this was not the reason.
Instead, I want to get better soon and do more for this family.
Shen Shaojing put down the things his sister bought, and also persuaded: "Yes, brother-in-law, if you do this, your sister will definitely worry again."
"My sister even asked about your legs for you, you can't get too tired."
Shen Shaojing felt that there was still something between his sister and brother-in-law, and he always felt that they were not as close as his third brother and his wife.
Moreover, his sister cared about her brother-in-law but didn't say anything, so he felt he had to say something.
Shen Yueyao was still a little embarrassed by what her fourth brother said.
Especially when she was looked at by Su Xueyi with such affectionate and focused eyes, her heart beat irregularly.
Shen Yueyao could only explain: "I think your broken leg might not be an accident. I was worried that someone wanted to harm you, so I paid more attention."
Upon hearing these words, Su Xueyi's face changed and her expression became serious. She seemed to have thought of something, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.
