Shen Mingxi pointed at the basin of water used for washing the pot and raised his voice, "Grandma, you should also taste the food we usually eat tonight. God has eyes. Those who have bad consciences have not suffered retribution, and we will not suffer retribution either..."

Then Shen Jiawen carried the basin and Shen Qingshan carried the large bowl and plate. Without even looking at them, they turned and walked towards the door.

From beginning to end, Shen Hai and Shen Jun did not speak.

They were just watching the fun at first, but later they didn't dare to say anything. Besides, the three children were asking about Old Man and Old Lady Shen all the time.

Old man Shen seemed to have come to his senses as well. He suddenly turned hostile and pointed at Shen Hai, Shen Jun and a few other guys, "...You idiots, just stand there and watch. That's your food. If you can't take it back, don't eat it tonight..."

Shen Baozhi frowned in annoyance. How could this old man not see that the three siblings came prepared tonight?

But when did this start? Shen Hai and Shen Jun also looked gloomy. They hadn't eaten yet, and this old man was so bold that he dared to snatch food from their mouths.

"You three stop!" Shen Hai shouted loudly.

"What are you stopping for?" Shen Mingxi raised his eyebrows and asked in a higher voice, "Second Uncle, do you want to return the supply and marketing cooperative job to my father?"

"you……"

Shen Mingxi's sharp tongue made Uncle Shen's eyes widen in anger, and he was panting like a bellows...

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Mr. Shen's voice was heard, "Mancang, it's me, I have something to talk to you about..."

As he said that, he pushed open the door and entered the yard.

Old man Shen's face changed.

I never thought this guy would come.

He gritted his teeth and was a little flustered. Shen Mingxi smiled, but he was looking at Ji Daju, "Second Aunt, it's your turn to cook and feed the pigs tomorrow morning. Remember to get up early, otherwise, don't blame us if you're late for work."

"You stupid girl, who do you think you are? Why do you ask me to do the work? That's your job as the eldest wife, you should do it..."

Shen Mingxi was too lazy to pay attention to her. He turned around and followed his elder and second brothers out of the main house. He saw Third Master Shen at the gate not far away. It was a little dark at night. Shen Mingxi said in a brisk voice, "Third Master, you are here..."

"Hey, Xiaoxi, where is your grandfather?" Uncle Shen nodded to Jiawen and Qingshan who greeted him, but he asked Xiaoxi.

"My grandpa is in the house..."

At this moment, Shen Mancang came out, suppressed his anger, and smiled, "Third brother, you are here, have you eaten?"

Then he glared at Shen Mingxi fiercely with a warning in his eyes. Shen Mingxi didn't care and followed his elder and second brothers to the woodshed.

The dim oil lamp had just been lit, and the shadow of a person in the big room was swaying on the tattered window paper.

"...I've eaten, and I have something to talk to you about." Mr. Shen San's obscure gaze swept across the dim woodshed, and then across Shen Mancang's face.

Is Shen Mancang really confused or just pretending to be confused?

How long did he plan to let his eldest son and his family stay in the woodshed? Seeing that Jiawen and Qingshan were both at the age of getting married, how come there was no movement at all?

Do you still want to wait for the girl to come to you? He frowned and took his foot over the threshold but then pulled it back.

"Mancang, let's go talk under the tree. It's not convenient in the house."

As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back and walked towards the sand pear tree on the west side of the yard.

Old man Shen was stunned for a moment. He saw the swaying figures under the light of the main house, as well as the noisy voice of Shen Hai scolding and the swearing of Old Lady Shen.

Obviously, this was also because they knew the captain was coming and they tried their best to suppress it.

Shen Mancang did not insist. The room was a bit messy at the moment and he didn't want Mr. Shen San to see it.

So, he happily followed Mr. Shen San to the sand apple tree.

"...Third brother, what's the matter?" Shen Mancang also became curious.

Shen Mancang took the paper package, opened it, and his face changed.

Mr. Shen coughed and said, "Why don't we ask Baozhi to confirm. The child didn't touch anything in the paper bag..."

Old man Shen's face looked like he was slapped.

It's really hot...

At the same time, in the firewood room on the east side of the Shen family, although there was an oil lamp lit, it was covered with a glass cover.

One is to block the wind, and the other is to increase the brightness.

This oil lamp was placed on the only dining table, and there was a large bowl of potatoes stewed with beans. The beans were oil beans. The potatoes were dug out from the private plot, and because it was not yet harvest time, there was only a thin layer of potato skin. There was no need to peel the skin, just wash it and cut it into pieces.

Moreover, this kind of new potatoes stewed with beans is the most fragrant.

On the other side was a bowl of sticky rice porridge.

The seven people in the big room all stared at the dinner in a daze. It was so lively just now, but at this moment, it became unexpectedly quiet.

Then, one could hear the rumbling sound of Goudan's stomach and the sound of Yaya swallowing her saliva.

They all looked at Shen Yu at the same time.

Especially the two little ones, they were all looking at it eagerly...

Shen Yu's expression had calmed down. He did not say whether Xiaoxi was right or wrong, but whispered, "...Let's eat..."

This dinner was not easy to come by and we cannot waste it.

Chen Li quickly served the children rice, and then placed the stewed potatoes and beans in the middle, with a plate of pepper and cucumber salad next to it...

Shen Jiawen's face was gloomy and his eyes were filled with gloom.

He was fine in the main house, but after returning to the woodshed, instead of feeling any joy of victory, he felt depressed.

How did the eldest wife’s life become like this?

What happened to them? Were they controlled by something? They didn't even dare to fight for a full meal. He was the eldest son. He had the responsibility to be filial to his parents and to take care of his brothers and sisters. But he let a little girl from the creek rush ahead. He was unqualified.

Shen Jiawen felt extremely guilty.

I didn't even dare to look up at the stream.

But everyone was hungry at this time, especially Shen Qingshan, who got hungrier the fastest. Although he could sometimes think the same as his eldest brother, at this time he really didn't know what his eldest brother was thinking.

He finished half a bowl of corn porridge in the blink of an eye, then ate mouthfuls of beans and chili peppers with his eyes narrowed into slits.

Shen Mingxi ate slowly, but she was thinking about how to divide the family quickly.

Yaya swallowed the potato with satisfaction and looked at Chen Li, "Mom, it's delicious. Is today Chinese New Year?"

Shen Mingxi just felt sad and upset.

Chen Li turned her face away and wiped her eyes.

Shen Yu's hands trembled and he clenched the chopsticks tightly.

"...Yaya, we didn't have so many dishes during the Chinese New Year. Today is not the Chinese New Year." Goudan explained hurriedly.

For the time being, I will update one chapter every day at 18:00 in the evening. Don’t worry, my dears, it takes very long to finish a book.
