After a whole afternoon, the Shen family yard finally returned to peace.
In addition to the Shen family members, there are four people from the Zhang family, Song's family members, and the two people brought back by Ji Xun.
In the evening at the end of August, it was too hot to sit in the house, so everyone moved stools to sit around in the yard and talk.
As the conversation went on, the topic turned to the grandchildren of several families.
Gao was sitting next to Song. She asked, "How is the grandson of the Zheng family in your village?"
As soon as Gao said this, Song Xiaoni blushed immediately.
It was no wonder that she thought too much. The women were discussing too intensely this afternoon. Their voices grew louder as they spoke, and they kept looking at her, so it was hard for her not to hear them.
Now that they were talking about this again, Song Xiaoni couldn't help it, she stood up, stomped her feet, and ran away with Shen Yu'an.
Gao smiled and said, "Little girl, you are shy. Let's continue. What is Zhu Yushan like? Are his family members easy to get along with?"
…
In the evening, everyone else left the Shen family.
The Shen family then remembered that they had not yet made arrangements for the two people that Ji Xun brought back.
Seeing the Shen family asking, Ji Xun took the initiative to introduce them: "This is my master, and the one next to him is the servant who takes care of my master's daily life."
"Master, I have told you all this before. This person is..."
There are many members of the Shen family, and Ji Xun introduced them to Mr. Ji one by one. He was so thirsty from the introduction that he picked up a large glass of water and drank it.
"It turns out to be Mr. Ji. Ji Xun has been telling us about you for a long time. Today we finally meet you. The old man is indeed a sage."
Mr. Ji smiled and said, "On the way here, Ji Xun also told me about his life at your house. If it weren't for you, this kid would have died a long time ago. This is a great favor."
"An Ling."
Upon hearing this, the other young man brought back by Ji Xun immediately took out a purse from his arms and handed it to Mr. Ji.
"These are some small gifts. Thank you for taking care of Ji Xun during this period."
Mr. Shen quickly declined: "Sir, you can't do that. We treat Ji Xun as one of our own. What he did is not worth mentioning."
The two of them refused for a while, but finally Mr. Ji said that the three of them would stay at the Shen family for a while in the next few days, and this would be considered as their food expenses.
Old Master Shen was holding the little girl in his arms. When he saw a purse dangling in front of him, he grabbed it and held it in front of him.
Then she loosened her hand, and the purse fell into Mr. Shen's arms.
The little girl turned around with difficulty in Mr. Shen's arms, and grabbed Mr. Ji's beard as if she had found something interesting.
Little Zhang quickly stood up and pushed the little girl's hand away. After apologizing, she held the girl in her arms and sat away from Mr. Ji.
The purse was already in Mr. Shen's arms. Mr. Shen had no choice but to accept the purse. The purse was bulging with money, but it did not feel like silver.
Mr. Shen felt it felt like a banknote.
Oh my goodness, the bag is about to burst. How much silver bills must it have?
At this time, at the headman's house, everyone surrounded Zhu Yushan and questioned him about what happened during the day.
Mrs. Wu asked, "What happened to the Song family girl during the day?"
Zhu Yushan scratched the back of his head and said irrelevantly: "What's going on?"
Wu pinched his pigtail, chuckled and said, "You don't want to say it, right? Last time the Shen family girl came to see you, you didn't want to go. I thought you didn't like girls like that, so I found a few girls for you these days. Starting tomorrow, you can go to see them one by one."
Zhu Yushan quickly refused: "I won't go."
Mrs. Wu didn't care what he said, and made her own arrangements: "You can look around these few days to see which family suits your taste. Once you get married, give me a grandson as soon as possible. Look at how cute the two boys in the Shen family are."
Zhu Yushan said: "I won't go, I have someone I like."
"Who is it?"
Now it wasn't just Wu who was asking the question. Everyone's eyes were shining, and they looked like spectators.
Zhu Yushan was afraid that if he didn't tell his mother, his mother would take him to look for a marriage partner tomorrow.
Since he had said that, he simply said: "My son likes Miss Xiao Ni, who is Xiao Dong's cousin. Mother, you can go to her house to propose marriage."
Zhu Yushan worked in a paper-making workshop, so he called Chen Yuan "Little Boss" like everyone else.
Zhu Yushan's younger brother asked, "Second brother, when the Shen family first came and wanted to meet someone, you didn't want to go. Did you have this in mind?"
Zhu Yushan replied: "Yes, but at that time Miss Xiaoni left, and I don't know where she went."
Mrs. Wu hit Zhu Yushan with a look of disappointment, "You fool, why don't you ask around after you left? If you hadn't delayed things, my grandson would have been born soon."
Zhu Yushan covered his head and said, "Then mother, you should find a way to propose marriage as soon as possible, otherwise you will have to wait until later to have your grandson."
…
On the second day, Shen Dalang and his friends said they wanted to get together with their former classmates and friends, so they asked Zhang Wendong who lived next door to go to the town with them.
Shen Ming and Shen Yun drove them there and just happened to go to the shop in town to check out the situation in the bookstore.
Shen Yu'an, who was at home, was stopped by Mr. Ji.
“I heard that Miss Shen has come up with a more affordable way to make paper. I wonder if it would be convenient for me to go to the workshop for a visit?”
Shen Yuan led the way in front: "No problem, old man, follow me."
The papermaking workshop was a few hundred meters away from the Shen family. On the way, Mr. Ji said, "I came here in a hurry yesterday. I haven't thanked the young lady for saving my life last year."
As he spoke, he took out a peace locket and handed it to Shen Yu'an, saying, "Miss, you saved me once. When I passed by the temple, I asked for a peace locket for you. I hope you can accept it."
"Life-saving grace?"
Shen Yu'an couldn't remember when he had seen this old man and saved him?
Mr. Ji smiled and replied, "Young lady, you are a noble person and forgetful."
"A year ago in Yunxi Town, the young lady saved me from a few hooligans, but the young lady and your second and third uncles left in a hurry, so we didn't have time to thank you."
Yunxi Town...isn’t that where they lived before fleeing the famine?
Shen Yu'an went over what happened at that time in his mind, then looked at Mr. Ji and then at An Ling who was following him, and finally he had some impression of it in his mind.
It seems that he did save an old man with a cane from the hands of gangsters.
He turned out to be Ji Xun’s master!
After understanding what Mr. Ji was talking about, Shen Yu'an saw that the peace locket was indeed made of ordinary material, so he took it without any burden.
"It's just a matter of convenience. Don't worry about it, old man."
