Chapter 28 Chapter 28 God has sent food to her (revised)
Shen Moer picked up the thing in her hand. It had a small head and a pointed mouth. Its fur looked finer than that of a domestic chicken. It was clearly a pheasant.
If it was someone's domesticated chicken that accidentally ran away and sneaked into her house, Shen Moer could understand it. But if it was a pheasant that sneaked into her house for no reason, Shen Moer felt that it was only because God knew that she wanted to be a vegetable and sent the food directly to her.
He sent them to this world, and he sent her a vegetable directly. Could her father be God's biological son?
But if her father is the son of God, then her uncle is also the son of God. They are brothers from the same father and mother. God can't favor one over the other, right?
Then, where did God send her uncle?
Shen Moer grabbed the pheasant by the neck. Its small green bean-like eyes stared at the person in front of it. Its long throat made a dying groan, which finally interrupted Shen Moer's somewhat diffused thoughts.
Shen Moer saw that there was a rope hanging on the pheasant's wings, so she simply tied the pheasant with the rope in a few seconds.
When she walked out with the pheasant, she ran into a skinny young man. The young man grinned and his white teeth sparkled in the sun: "Cousin Moer, you are so quick! This chicken is so fierce. It tried to run away all the way. It bit me several times."
Shen Moer was still wondering who this man was. When she heard him speak and looked at his eyebrows carefully, she realized that this was really her cheap cousin, Zhao Zhengyang, the eldest son of Sixth Aunt Shen Yinyin.
Shen Laoqi is the youngest child in the family, and he has six brothers and sisters. The eldest is Shen Shengli, the second is Shen Yongjun, the third is Shen Hongbing, the fourth is Shen Xianghong, and there should have been a fifth, but it is said that she died when she was in her teens. The first five were all born to Mr. Shen’s previous wife. Mr. Shen’s mother only gave birth to two children, the sixth sister Shen Yinyin and the seventh Shen Shaoyuan.
Shen Yinyin is six years older than Mr. Shen. She got married when Mr. Shen was still alive. She married in the village where her mother lived. The village is called Beishan’ao. Although it also belongs to Liuqiao Commune, it is actually very remote. It is a small mountain village in the deep mountains and cold valley. It is very inconvenient to go out.
So although Shen Yinyin missed her only brother who had the same father and mother, due to objective conditions, she would only come back during the Spring Festival. Shen Moer
looked behind Zhao Zhengyang and saw a middle-aged woman with a shaggy haircut and slightly dark skin. This was Shen Yinyin. Next to Shen Yinyin stood a young man who was the same dark and thin as Zhao Zhengyang but looked younger. He was Shen Yinyin's second son Zhao Zhenghui. She should have a little daughter named Zhao Tingting, about fourteen or fifteen years old. In previous years, she would come with her brother to pay New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival, but she was not seen this time.
Shen Yinyin was talking to Shen Shaoyuan: "I heard that Third Sister-in-law stole food from your house, and Moer fainted on the ground due to hunger. You said that your family had no food, why didn't you send someone to send me a message?"
She knew that her younger brother was always honest, and the older brothers and sisters had always been bullies. Thinking about the most difficult three years, everyone had survived, and now that the harvest was good, they, father and daughter, almost starved to death. Shen Yinyin couldn't help shedding tears.
"It happened several months ago. The food was taken back later, and I also got the money back for the three big brick and tile houses they occupied. Now I'm building a new house here." Shen Shaoyuan comforted, "Don't worry, I didn't sleep all night when Mo'er fainted from hunger. I thought about it all night and finally figured it out. Even if I don't do it for myself, I have to do it for my daughter, right? I will stand up well in the future."
Shen Yinyin wiped her tears and looked at the busy construction site next to her, and was surprised: "Is this your family building a house?"
She saw it as soon as she came over, and thought that someone in the village had arranged the foundation next to Lao Qi's house, but it turned out that this new house belongs to her brother's house?
Her tears stopped flowing all of a sudden.
How could this be different from what she heard?
However, Shen Yinyin soon understood that their Beishan'ao was too remote, and the villagers had little contact with the outside world, so the news was extremely blocked.
For example, the food in her brother's house was robbed two months ago, but she only learned about it yesterday from a young wife who went down the mountain to visit relatives.
It has been two months, isn't it normal for things to change?
Although this change was a little too shocking, she heard that they were starving to death, but when she came here, she saw that a new house was being built in full swing. Shen Yinyin's mood was really up and down and she was very excited.
However, Shen Yinyin wiped away her tears immediately: "It's good to build a new house. Building a new house is a happy event. We can't cry. You said your family was going to build a new house. It's such a big thing, why didn't you send a message to Beishan'ao and ask your brother-in-law and nephew to come and help? It's a good thing that we are here today. Let Zhengyang and Zhenghui help with the work, and I will help Moer cook."
Shen Shaoyuan smiled and said, "I forgot about it because there were so many things to do, and it's not convenient for you to go down the mountain."
In fact, although he had the memory of Shen Laoqi, he was not Shen Laoqi himself after all, and he didn't think of this biological sister at all.
However, from Shen Lao Qi's memories, we also know that this biological sister was indeed very good to their family. Especially after Shen Lao Qi's daughter-in-law passed away, Shen Yinyin would bring a lot of things back home even if she came less often, which helped Shen Lao Qi and his daughter a lot.
Shen Yinyin glanced at Shen Shaoyuan: "You do seem to be a little different from before. It's a good thing that you can stand up. But if we, brothers and sisters, need help, you can't talk to others, why can't you talk to me?"
Shen Shaoyuan said in her heart: How can I be the person who can't ask for help? I dare to talk to the Nine-Five Supreme Being.
Because he had the memory of Shen Laoqi, he didn't feel strange to Shen Yinyin. On the contrary, he was quite friendly. Moreover, he was used to talking to his brother, so he had nothing to be embarrassed about being his biological sister. So he commanded his two nephews with confidence: "Okay, Zhengyang Zhenghui, come and work." The
two young men who came down the mountain at dawn and waded through the mountains and rivers without even a sip of water: "..."
In fact, the deeper you go in the mountains, the better life is than outside these days. You live by the mountains and the water. There are more pheasants and rabbits in the mountains than outside.
There are not many households in Beishan'ao, and everyone is very united. There was an old hunter in the village. He didn't hide anything. Many children in the village learned some skills of finding wild animals and digging traps from him.
Zhao Zhengyang and Zhao Zhenghui also know a little bit. They just happened to catch two pheasants a few days ago. Shen Yinyin heard that her brother was almost starving to death, so she asked her son to bring the two pheasants.
In addition to the two pheasants, they also carried a lot of food and dried vegetables.
Shen Moer felt that this was actually not much different from God sending her vegetables directly.
Shen Yinyin was very efficient and straightforward. When preparing meals with Shen Moer, she found out everything that had happened recently.
Shen Yinyin couldn't help but spit when she heard that it was actually Tian Fang who instigated the food robbery. She even shamelessly called her nephew from her mother's side to come and eat her brother's family.
"I knew she was sweet on the outside but bitter on the inside. She said things like she was singing opera songs, but she was really vicious behind my back. When I was looking for a husband, she wanted to intervene. Wasn't it because my mother was dead and my father was old and confused, and there was no one to support me?"
If it weren't for her brothers and sisters-in-law who were eyeing her covetously and wanted to interfere in her marriage, she wouldn't have found a way to ask her aunt for help and married directly to Beishan'ao.
However, what shocked Shen Yinyin the most was that her brother Shen Laoqi became a worker in the commune kiln factory!
Shen Yinyin cut the pheasant's neck with a knife, pinched the pheasant and let the blood drip into the bowl, but her expression was blank for a moment: "What, you said that Lao Qi not only went to the commune kiln, but he also did the hard labor of moving bricks. He went to write and draw for the Propaganda Department?"
Shen Yinyin asked doubtfully: "Can your father write and draw?"
Shen Moer took the chicken in her hand and threw it into the boiling water. In the enamel basin, he said calmly: "My father can do it. My mother taught him every day when she was alive. But he has been doing farm work in the village and has no chance to write, let alone paint. This time it was just a coincidence. The publicity officer of the kiln factory was sent down, and they were anxious to find someone, and my father happened to meet him."
After a brief shock, Shen Yinyin soon smiled happily: "So your father is now "He is a worker now. Oh, our seventh son has finally come out of all the hardships. He cried so much in the past. After our mother died, our father became old and confused. He was only a teenager and went up the mountain to chop firewood every day to cook for his brothers. Later, he was lucky enough to save your mother, so he finally had his own family. When they got married, they didn't even have a good job..."
As she laughed, tears welled up in the corners of Shen Yinyin's eyes again. She wiped them with the back of her hand, sniffed, and said, "Why am I mentioning these? This is a good thing. You and your daughter will have a better life in the future."
When she heard that her brother's family had no food to eat, she didn't know how anxious she was. She heard it in the evening of the first day, packed her things overnight, and let her two sons accompany her down the mountain before dawn.
This is her only brother!
Those ungrateful people before don't count.
With Shen Yinyin's help, Shen Moer suddenly felt much more relaxed. Later, Aunt Chen and Sister Xinmei also came. The four of them divided the work and cooperated, making it even easier.
As a result, the people working outside soon smelled the rich meat aroma, which was more fragrant than roasted rabbit meat.
While working, Zhao Zhengyang said with a smile: "This pheasant is much more delicious than the one my mother cooks. It's so delicious that it makes me hungry."
Zheng Jiamin, who could talk to anyone, brightened his eyes and asked: "Brother Zhengyang, is this a pheasant being roasted?"
Zhao Zhenghui interrupted: "It's a pheasant. My brother and I caught it in the mountains. One of them was quite fierce and might have bitten someone. But chicken meat is delicious, much more delicious than rabbit meat."
Zheng Jiamin raised his thumb: "Brother Zhenghui, from the sound of you, you must have eaten a lot of pheasants and rabbits, right?" He blinked and expressed his envy with a smile.
Zhao Zhenghui: "We live in the deep mountains, and there are not many other things, but there are many wild animals, not only pheasants and rabbits, but also wolves and wild boars. Sometimes we organize hunting together in our village, and we share the prey together. We can eat meat once or twice a month." In fact, sometimes it is more than that, but Zhao Zhenghui knows that it is not good to talk about this kind of thing outside.
"You are so lucky in the mountains!"
Zheng Jiamin is really envious. His family conditions are good. His parents, brothers and several workers are in the family. But it is difficult to buy meat in the city these days. The monthly quota is only a few meat tickets per person, and a large family can't eat meat for several months.
Moreover, after getting to know Zhao Zhengyang and Zhao Zhenghui, Zheng Jiamin suddenly understood why Shen Moli was so good at catching wild rabbits. This was a family tradition. The two cousins were so good, so just learning a little would be enough.
Zheng Jiamin felt that he had seen through the truth.
When they heard that meat was being roasted in the kitchen, the happiest people were the nephews of the Ding Lao Shen family. They had heard that Shen Laoqi was generous and prepared a lot of meals. They also knew that they had eaten meat for the previous two days. They thought that even if they didn't roast meat next time, it would be good to have scrambled eggs and solid rice.
Who would have thought that on the first day they came to work, they would run into them roasting pheasants!
This was really a stroke of luck.
Especially the one who came for the food, his mouth was almost stretched to his ears.
Spurred on by the rich aroma of meat, the enthusiasm of the group of people for work rose rapidly. When they thought about eating chicken and drinking chicken soup soon, they felt full of energy and sped up their actions unconsciously.
Shen Shaoyuan was slacking off and directing at the side, thinking that at this pace, the work would be completed at least three days earlier than expected.
Sure enough, the food and fodder must be sent before the troops move. This principle is true for all things in the world.
At a certain moment, a shout came from the direction of the stove: "It's time to eat--"
The people who were working honestly almost immediately put down their work and rushed to the stove.
If you are not active in eating, you have a problem with your thinking.
Go!
