Chapter 242: Shen Ziju's Marriage

(Girls' Literature)

"Auntie, your little chicken!"

Chunyue chased after her, but she did not forget that Su Zhi came here to get the chicken.

When Yueyue heard the word "little chicken", she immediately shouted that she wanted to go and see, completely losing her aggrieved look. Shen Zian could only put her down and let her rush to the second bedroom like a little cannonball.

"Yueyue, the chicken is here!"

Erlang said to Yueyue that he had just put the chicken into his house.

Yueyue turned around and rushed into the main room, making everyone laughing.

Chunhua was also watching with dim eyes. She felt very uncomfortable in her heart, thinking that her second uncle and second aunt were so brave as to even propose dividing the family for Chunyue and the others, and Yueyue was just a girl adopted from outside, but they both got the parental love that she dreamed of, and their parents would stand up and vent their anger when others called them money-losing goods. But she was abandoned by her own parents and brothers. How could she be so unlucky?

"What are you doing standing here, you little bitch? You are of no use at all!"

Sun came out of the main room and saw Su Zhi and the others entering the main house. She was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger, so she pinched Chunhua, making her gasp.

Chunhua could only lower her head. She thought that she was so good to her parents, so why didn’t they feel sorry for her?

But now no one knows Chunhua’s grievances.

The chicks were not very happy because of the ordeal they had just gone through. Some of them were even listless and looked like they were dying.

Li and Wang picked out the best chickens for Su Zhi, but Su Zhi blocked them and grabbed them herself. Some of them were not energetic, which made Li feel bad, thinking that Su Zhi was too kind.

Su Zhi was so picky about the chicks because she had the spring water in her hand. As long as the chicks were still alive, she would not be afraid of not being able to keep them alive.

After I brought the chickens home, I put them in the compartment behind the living room, which made it convenient for the three children to look after them. They could also be easily taken to the backyard.

Xiao Hei also poked his head out to look at the chicks, scaring them so much that they started to squeal.

Su Zhi got some spiritual spring water for the chicks to drink. After they drank it, they became noticeably more energetic and ran around in the basket happily.

Yueyue spent the rest of the day with the chicks. The noisy Xiaohei was a little jealous. He stayed around her for a while and then ran out to play with Xiaobai and Dahui.

The setting sun was scorching hot, another day had passed, and there was still no sign of rain.

The next day, Shen Ziju came back. He was brought back in a horse-drawn carriage. Although he was still wearing the bright blue clothes he had taken from home, he looked more energetic.

There was another round of excitement. When Shen Ziju heard that Shen Zigui finally separated from his family and lived alone, the extra radiance on his face due to his success in the imperial examination dimmed a little. He went to talk to Shen Zigui again. Seeing that Shen Zigui insisted on separating from his family, he sighed and finally said that they were still brothers even if they separated from their family. He said that they would support each other in the future. He spoke politely and politely, and his words made everyone in the second room feel very comfortable.

Shen Zian did not drive the ox cart to the town. He gave the ox cart to Shen Zigui and asked him to go buy things. Shen Zian gave money to Shen Zigui, but Shen Zian insisted not to take it, saying that he had agreed to pay the money, so no matter whether others paid or not, he would pay this money. In the end, he drove the ox cart away and did not take the money.

Shen Zian and Li Shi went into the mountains together, intending to hunt wild chickens, rabbits and the like.

Su Zhi thought that after this matter was over, she would also go into the mountains. It was almost summer now, and she didn't know what good things were growing in the mountains. However, she didn't hold out too much hope, because wild fruits and the like would not ripen until July and August. She would just go there to see if there were any new discoveries. Perhaps it was the natural treasure-hunting desire of human beings that was at work.

Both Shen Zian and Li Shi had a good harvest. Shen Zian alone caught four wild rabbits and four pheasants.

Su Zhiquan asked Shen Zian to deliver it. Since they were paying for the banquet, they could save money by having these things.

Shen Ziju said that the banquet should not be too grand, as it was just a scholar who passed the imperial examination, not a Jinshi. He said that he could hold a more lively banquet when someone passed the imperial examination in the future.

After some discussion, we decided to invite not only our relatives but also some people we were close to. It turned out to be quite a lot of people, so we had to set up ten tables.

On the day of the banquet, the weather was still good as usual. The Shen family started to get busy in the morning. Because there were many tables to be set up, they had to borrow tables, chairs, benches, bowls, chopsticks, and spoons from their good neighbors. Because Shen Ziju's passing the imperial examination was a great joy, other families were willing to lend them things, one reason being that they could get along well with the Shen family, and the other was to share in the good fortune.

These things were borrowed very quickly and were placed inside the house and in the yard. Because they were afraid of being exposed to the sun if placed in the yard, a shed was built in the yard with mats. These mats were also borrowed from one house here and there. It was set up very quickly. When sitting under them, one would not feel the sun. It gave one the feeling of sitting at a food stall in a street market. People standing under them even had cheerful voices talking.

Su Zhi and Shen Zian got up early in the morning. After breakfast, they set out with Shen Zian and their three kids. Xiao Hei also wanted to go. He rolled on the ground and looked at her with his round eyes, which softened Su Zhi's heart.

Although Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai have grown a little taller, they are still very cute, especially Xiao Hei. He is smaller than Xiao Bai and is chubby from eating so much that he still looks like a dumpling. His eyes are still round and cute like little apricot kernels. Everyone who has seen him likes him.

In the end, Su Zhi could only take Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai with her, while the white wolf Da Hei and Da Hui all stayed behind.

Naturally, Old Man Lan and Aunt Lan did not go. They both liked the garden and the Daqing Mountain in front very much, but they did not like going into the village.

Li Shi and Liu Si Niang did not go to eat. They were only friends with Shen Zi'an, and not very close to Shen Ziju. However, they still gave him the pheasants and rabbits he had shot yesterday, also for Shen Zi'an's sake.

As soon as Su Zhi arrived there, she was called into the kitchen by Wang. There were many people in the kitchen, some picking vegetables, some washing vegetables, some cutting vegetables, and some kneading dough. Everyone had work to do.

After Su Zhi came in, she started to get busy. She was the chef for today. There were many dishes that had to be prepared first, which were time-consuming, such as pork elbow.

Almost everyone in Hebian Village knows that Su Zhi's cooking is delicious. Even without the spiritual spring vegetables, they are still very delicious. However, the vegetables Su Zhi brought were raised in the spiritual spring, so they were still very delicious after adding them. After a while, the yard was filled with a very strong aroma of meat. The group of children gathered in front of the kitchen door and drooled. Even the adults in and outside the yard looked straight into the kitchen.

Naturally, everyone knew that it was the fourth daughter-in-law of the Shen family who was cooking, and they began to praise the Shen family. All the Shen family members who heard the praise were smiling, but some were proud, some were jealous, and some were embarrassed. For example, Shen Zian and the people from the first and second rooms were proud, while the people from the third room, Shen Zhu, were jealous. Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang were embarrassed. They thought that they had driven away this capable son and daughter-in-law like a sweeping star, but now they were living a good life in the village and became famous lucky stars. It would be strange if they were not embarrassed.

Shen Ziju smelled the fragrance with a smile on his face, but in his heart he was thinking that his fourth sister-in-law's cooking was still so good. No wonder even a picky man like Qian Guang kept praising her dishes. His fourth brother was so lucky to marry her. Then he thought about his future wife, and his heart was gloomy, and even the expression on his face dimmed a lot.

When thinking of his future wife, Shen Ziju realized that his family would also know about his passing the imperial examination. Logically, someone should have come to their house today. He didn't ask his parents who they wanted to invite, so he was not sure.

"Zhu'er, among the guests invited today, are there any from the Xiao family?"

Shen Ziju asked. When he asked this, he actually didn't want that family to come. He was not very satisfied with this marriage in the first place. Although he always told himself that since the engagement had been made, he should be faithful to the other party and should not feel disgusted because of the other party's family background or appearance, he was still becoming more and more dissatisfied with the child marriage that had not yet been married.

Especially after seeing Su Zhi.

Shen Ziju's eyes inadvertently saw Su Zhi coming out of the kitchen. Su Zhi came out to get some fresh air. It was not comfortable to stay in the kitchen for a long time in this kind of weather, so when she came out, she took a deep breath of fresh air. She looked very natural and a little cute. In Shen Ziju's eyes, this woman wearing an apron and a scarf was really different from an ordinary village woman.

Shen Ziju thought that even if he married a village woman, his wife should be like Su Zhi. Even if her appearance was not stunningly beautiful, she should be elegant and natural. Even if her temperament was not graceful and dignified, she should be natural and generous. She should be able to read and cook delicious meals, and when she spoke to people, it was as if a spring breeze was blowing across their faces.

Shen Ziju had almost forgotten what the daughter of the Xiao family looked like. He only remembered that she looked very ordinary and timid. She always kept her head down and even spoke in a small voice, which gave people the feeling that she was not presentable. Such a woman would not only not be able to help him in his career in the future, but she would not even be able to help him manage his household affairs, right?

The more Shen Ziju thought about it, the more depressed he became.

When Shen Zhu heard Shen Ziju ask this, he frowned slightly and said, "People from the Xiao family? Brother, are you talking about the Xiao family in Baihua Village? It seems that they were not invited..."
