Chapter 44 Chapter 44 It is not human to act a little bit rogue just to find a target...

"Sizzle--" When the food was poured into the pot and started to stir-fry, Shen Shaoyuan walked into the kitchen. He washed his face with water, and asked Shen Moer while rubbing the towel: "I just rode over here, and I seemed to see Fu Zhiqing running out of our house. He ran so fast, as if there were robbers chasing him. What's the matter? Is there something urgent at the Zhiqing's place?"

Shen Moer chuckled, thought about it, and picked out the unimportant things to talk about first: "Fu Zhiqing sent a rooster here, a live one, in the chicken coop. He said that he was too tired from the autumn harvest and wanted to make up for it. It's inconvenient for the Zhiqing's place to cook something."

"You're going to eat at our house with the educated youth Zheng, right? They provide the meat, and we provide the grain, so we're getting the upper hand."

Fu Mingze and Zheng Jiamin had been helping out at his house for quite a while, and Shen Shaoyuan was quite familiar with them. He casually asked, "Are you going to make it tomorrow? Then I'll bring some other food when I come back from the commune?"

Meat tickets were required to sell meat, and Shen Shaoyuan was thinking about buying some pig offal that didn't require tickets, and simmering the liver. After all, it was a chicken, and they couldn't take advantage of him too much.

"You decide." Shen Moer flipped the spatula and quickly put the bacon and cowpea stir-fry in the pot into a plate, then scooped water to wash the pot, added oil, and poured the beaten egg liquid into it.

Looking at Shen Moer's skilled movements, Shen Shaoyuan felt a little sad. To be honest, his little Moer was a little princess who was more favored than those unfavored little princesses in Daliang. Now, in just a few months, she has become so skilled in doing housework.

Alas, things are unpredictable!

Thinking of this, Shen Shaoyuan twisted the towel and said, "Xiao Moer, Dad has something happy to tell you."

Shen Moer looked back at her father and said with a smile, "What is it?"

Shen Shaoyuan went out and poured out the water in the enamel basin first. He came back and put the enamel basin away, stood beside Shen Moer, and said, "I will be a regular employee next month."

"Huh?!" Shen Moer's hand trembled, and she pushed the wild mushrooms on the chopping board into the pot, "Oh, I want to make scrambled eggs with spinach!"

Shen Shaoyuan didn't care at all: "Then scrambled eggs with mushrooms and spinach soup."

Shen Moer smiled and said, "Okay."

She flipped it casually with a spatula, turned her head and looked at Shen Shaoyuan again: "Dad, you are so awesome!"

Shen Shaoyuan also smiled.

Shen Moer flipped the shovel a few times and said calmly: "Dad, I want to tell you something too. Well, it can be considered a happy event."

Shen Shaoyuan was surprised: "Oh?"

For Shen Moer, the biggest happy event recently should be that her two children won awards and can go to the provincial capital to compete. Shen Shaoyuan couldn't think of any other happy event for a while.

Shen Moer turned her head to look at her father and smiled awkwardly: "Fu Zhiqing just said he wanted to date me, and I agreed."

Shen Shaoyuan: "???"

Shen Shaoyuan: "!!!"

He was originally still smiling, but his face darkened almost instantly, and he said angrily: "Is this a happy event?!"

Shen Moer smiled and said: "Aren't you still arranging for me to go on a blind date? That Zhang Junliang looks ordinary and has an unreasonable mother. The key is that he doesn't want to be a live-in son-in-law. . From what I heard from Fu Zhiqing, he is willing to be a live-in son-in-law. "

Shen Shaoyuan was speechless: "Is he willing to be a live-in son-in-law? He has to be a live-in son-in-law. He is so poor, he can't continue to live in the big shop in the educated youth's place after getting married, right? ! I saw it a long time ago, this guy is not a kind-hearted person, he is busy running around to clean up the bathroom for us, it is obvious that he has been planning something bad!"

Shen Moer laughed so hard: "Then you also said They are busy running around."

Shen Shaoyuan said angrily: "I've seen it a long time ago. How can you be dissatisfied with that damn Zhang Junliang? It's obvious that you have been eyeing Fu Mingze, that pretty boy!"

Shen Moer did not deny it either: "He is good-looking."

Shen Shaoyuan: "Can good looks be eaten?"

Shen Moer: "Looking at him can help me eat an extra bowl of rice."

Shen Shaoyuan became even angrier: "Girls are extroverts!"

Shen Moer smiled and said: "I told him that if my father If you don't agree, forget it."

Shen Shaoyuan choked, and after a while, he sighed: "How can Dad not agree? Little White Face is really good-looking, and he is also quite poor. He can be a live-in son-in-law, and he doesn't have parents around, and you don't have to suffer from your mother-in-law. It's... quite suitable."

The words "quite suitable" were said reluctantly, but it was true. Moreover, if you don't nitpick, there is nothing else to complain about Little White Face Fu except that he is a little poor.

Shen Shaoyuan thought about it, still a little angry, and said: "Send the chicken back to him!"

Shen Moer served wild mushrooms and scrambled eggs, and started to make spinach soup, and replied casually: "Well, send the chicken back to him, I'll send it back in a while." Shen Shaoyuan

glared at her, and after a while, he sighed sadly: "Girls are outgoing."

He also felt that the stone that was pressing on his heart seemed to fall to the ground.

Next month is Xiao Moer's 18th birthday. There are very few girls like her who are not married in Daliang. As for him, he just relied on his status as the emperor's younger brother and his brother's love for Xiao Moer, thinking that even if he was older, he would not be afraid of not being able to find a suitable son-in-law in Daliang.

So he kept his daughter like this year after year.

Shen Shaoyuan regretted it when the rebels besieged the city. After he moved to another world and his life became more stable, he had actually been thinking about this matter.

Now, the dust has finally settled.

Shen Moer glanced at her father and suddenly said, "Dad, today Zhou Zhaodi's stepmother gave me trouble."

"Huh?" Shen Shaoyuan was distracted, "That little girl who looks particularly thin? Didn't she win the award? She's going to compete in the provincial competition, and her stepmother is still giving you trouble?"

Shen Moer told him about what happened today, and Shen Shaoyuan's face suddenly turned unhappy: "She came to our house to try to scam people. No, I have to teach her a lesson."

Shen Moer didn't stop him, but just said, "Have dinner first, and go after you're full."

After finishing dinner and washing the dishes, Shen Shaoyuan fetched a basin of water, washed his hands carefully, went back to the house to get something, and took a wooden stick from the door, and then slowly went to the village.

Shen Moer smiled and followed behind.

When the father and daughter walked to the gate of Zhou's courtyard, Yang Da Nv was cursing inside: "...Who am I doing this for? I am doing this for my family! I can ask the production team for more work points, why don't I ask for them? And what about Teacher Shen? There are two workers in her family. They have more money than they can spend. They have built a big house with green bricks and tiles. Now she is counting on the small losses to get her performance. I want to ask her for some money." What do you have? "The family counseled!" Zhou Xiaoluo

's voice: "You whispered! Grandfather Yang Da: "Since you care about this in your belly, why not go to the commune to buy wheat milk and milk powder? How can this nourishment be so easy? Essence Yang Danniu was frightened and stood up immediately: "Who?!" Shen Shaoyuan entered the yard, without saying a word, walked directly to the clothes rack, kicked the rack over, and then knocked over the round winnowing basket on the side where dried vegetables were drying. Zhou Xiaoshuan rushed over immediately: "Who!" Shen Shaoyuan replied in a very imposing manner: "Your ancestors!" Yang Da Nv followed closely. Her eyesight was obviously better than Zhou Xiaoshuan's. She started cursing before she got close: "Shen Laoqi, you bastard, what the hell are you doing running into our house?!" The thing in Shen Shaoyuan's hand suddenly moved upwards, and with a click, a bright light shone directly on Yang Da Nv's face. Then he poked the stick in Yang Da Nv's direction with the stick in his other hand: "How dare you, a dirty thing, touch my daughter!" As he said that, he swung the stick to the side, and a bamboo chicken cage next to it was knocked over. At dark, the chickens in the cage made sharp and miserable cries. Yang Da Nv and Zhou Xiaoshuan were blinded by the flashlight for a long time and didn't say a word until they reacted. "Seventh Brother, what are you doing?" This is the cowardly Zhou Xiaoshuan who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. "Shen Seventh Brother, I'm going to fight you!" Yang Da Nv held her waist and wanted to rush, but was hit by Shen Shaoyuan's flashlight again. Just when she hesitated for a moment, Shen Shaoyuan hit the shelf next to her with a stick, which had fallen on its back. The shelf made a crisp sound, and Yang Da Nv was so scared that she almost jumped up. "Seventh Brother, she is pregnant!" Zhou Xiaoshuan shouted in fear. Shen Shaoyuan sneered, "She is pregnant with your Zhou family's child, not my Shen family's child. If she dares to come over, I will beat her. If the child is lost, it is her own fault. At most, I will pay your family a few dollars for nutrition. Don't worry, I can afford this money now." Yang Da Nv did not dare to move at all. She dared to jump like this just because she was a pregnant woman and others did not dare to touch her. This trick really worked. Zhou Xiaoshuan and his son now dared not say anything she said. But looking at Shen Shaoyuan's look, Yang Da Nv felt that he seemed to really dare. When he asked for money from the eldest and second Shen, he said he would hang them with a rope. People in the village said behind their backs that Shen Shaoyuan was driven crazy by the fact that Shen Moer almost starved to death. Not to mention, he really looked like a madman who was not afraid of anything. Yang Da Nv was greedy for money, but she would not embezzle the child's nutrition expenses. She was counting on the child in her belly to gain a foothold and power in the Zhou family. "If you dare to make my daughter unhappy again, I will beat you to death." Shen Shaoyuan stared at Yang Da Nv for a few times, kicked away the debris on the ground, and walked out of the Zhou family's yard on the scattered clothes. It was not until she could no longer see Shen Shaoyuan that Yang Danv howled like a child: "Zhou Xiaoshuan, you coward, you just watch your wife being bullied like this, I won't live anymore I--" Shen Moer was standing under the tree outside the Zhou family's courtyard. When she saw her father coming out with a flashlight and a stick, accompanied by the miserable wails in the courtyard, she couldn't help but chuckle: "Dad, you act like a bully." Shen Shaoyuan said dimly: "You really guessed it right. One year I ran into Concubine Cao's dandy nephew in Qinghefang. That kid asked his servants to smash someone's stall. That's why... "I just learned it casually." After a pause, he said, "Don't worry, she will never bother you again in the future." Shen Moer smiled and said, "Of course, my father is so awesome. Let me get the flashlight. It doesn't need candles or fire, but it's so bright. This thing is really interesting. Chief Xu is really a good person. He even gave you these things." She was standing at the door, thinking that if her father couldn't deal with the Zhou couple alone, she would rush in to help, but she soon found that it was not necessary. The moment her father turned on the flashlight, Yang Da Niu and Zhou Xiaoshuan were shocked. A flashlight costs five or six yuan, and you need industrial coupons. In Yangliu Brigade, not many families can afford it. This makes her father's words about not being able to come up with the nutrition fee particularly convincing. As expected of someone who knew how to fool the prince's brother since he was a child, his acting skills are simply amazing. The next morning, the news that Shen Shaoyuan went to smash Zhou Xiaoshuan's house spread throughout the village. During the break, Shen Lingling rarely showed any weirdness, but just asked with a complicated expression: "Shen Moer, I heard that your family has a flashlight?" Her family didn't have one yet. Strictly speaking, there are probably only one or two families in the village who have one. Of course, people usually don't take it out when they have nothing to do, and it costs money to replace the battery. Shen Moer said casually, "That's the office tool the factory gave my dad. Sometimes he needs a flashlight to use when he works overtime, and he can use it on his way home late." When Shen Lingling heard that it was provided by the factory, she immediately felt a lot more comfortable. Although her father and daughter are both salaried now, their future life will not be too bad, but if it's so good that you can buy a flashlight at will, Shen Lingling really can't accept it. It's normal if it's provided by the factory, it's almost the same as the factory providing labor insurance gloves. Cheng Tao, who was listening nearby, laughed and said, "Uncle Shen Qi is really capable. Other factory workers only get some labor protection gloves or something, but he even gives them flashlights. That's amazing!" Shen Lingling felt upset when she heard this. She got up and left. When she reached the classroom door, she ran into a few aunts who were sending their grandchildren to school and were talking about this. She pretended to be casual and said, "The flashlight was not bought. Their family doesn't have the money to buy it. It was provided by the kiln factory. They can use it when they can't see during overtime work." The aunts suddenly realized what was going on and said, "That's really good. Uncle Shen Qi is really capable. The factory even provided him with a flashlight. Wow, he got a flashlight for free. That's really good."

Shen Lingling: "..."

Is this the point? The point is that their family has no money, no money!

Shen Moer didn't know what Shen Lingling was thinking. She called Zhou Zhaodi to the office early in the morning and asked her a few questions. She was mainly afraid that Yang Da Nv would be provoked by her father and would not dare to cause trouble for them, but would vent her anger on Zhou Zhaodi.

Zhou Zhaodi shook her head: "Maomao taught me. Whenever she scolded me, I would run outside the courtyard and cry. When she wanted to hit me, I would run too. She didn't dare to walk fast and couldn't catch up with me."

The little girl is now with Chen Maomao all day long. She looks a lot braver. Shen Moer rubbed her head: "If there is anything, you tell the teacher. If the teacher can't do it, your Uncle Qi will help us vent our anger."

Zhou Zhaodi nodded with bright eyes.

She was not in the courtyard last night. She hid in the stove and watched secretly. Uncle Shen Qi was really powerful. Although he smashed her family's things, Zhou Zhaodi felt that it was because her stepmother first found trouble with Teacher Shen that Uncle Shen Qi did this. She didn't think Uncle Shen Qi was wrong.

On the contrary, she actually envied Teacher Shen. Teacher Shen was also a girl, but no one said she was a loser. When she was wronged, her father would support her.

*

In the evening, Shen Moer sent Zhou Zhaodi home. She stood outside the door and listened for a while. She heard Yang Danniu scolding Zhou Zhaodi for being an ungrateful ungrateful person. She urged Zhou Zhaodi to work, but she did not hit her. So she took Maomao's hand and walked away.

"If there is a stepmother, there must be a stepfather. Zhou Zhaodi's stepmother is really bad, and her father is also really bad." Classmate Chen Maomao said in a condescending manner, then raised her head, stared with a pair of clear and stupid big eyes, and asked naively, "Sister Moer, can you ask the team leader to change Zhou Zhaodi's parents?"

Shen Moer laughed: "With whom?"

She teased the child: "With you, let Zhou Zhaodi go to your house, and you go to Zhou Zhaodi's house. What should you do if her stepmother beats you?" Maomao sighed: "I'm not afraid of her stepmother beating me. If she beats me, I can run away, and she can't catch up with me. It's just that she scolds people all day long, and I can't stand it."

"Comrade Shen Moer!"

Fu Mingze walked over from another intersection, stopped when he was an arm's length away from Shen Moer, lowered his eyes to look at her, then looked at Maomao who was staring at him curiously, and asked, "Where's Zhou Zhaodi, is she home?"

Shen Moer: "Yeah, I just sent her back."

Fu Mingze asked, "Did her stepmother make things difficult for you?"

"We sent Zhou Zhaodi to the door and left. Her stepmother was scolding her in the yard, calling her a money-loser and an ungrateful person, and for making her wash clothes. Her stepmother is so bad, and her father doesn't help her. If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather!" Maomao interrupted.

Fu Mingze looked at him and said, "Okay, then we'll take you home now."

As a result, classmate Chen Maomao rolled his eyes, snorted, and said, "If you want to find a partner, I won't go with you." After that, he ran towards his home.

The naughty kid chased chickens and dogs in the village all day long, and he didn't need anyone to take him home.

After a moment of silence, Fu Mingze chuckled.

The little brat is quite smart.

Shen Moer glanced at him, said nothing, and walked forward.

This was still in the village, and Fu Mingze did not catch up. He followed slowly, looking at his partner from a distance. Tsk, not yet, but the back of his future partner.

It was not until Shen Moer walked to the vicinity of the brigade headquarters that Fu Mingze quickly chased after her and followed Shen Moer into the yard. He even kicked a stone against the door without waiting for Shen Moer to lift her feet. Shen Moer couldn't help laughing when she saw it.

Seeing her laugh, Fu Mingze secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll go get some hot water first, and then kill the chicken when the water is ready."

No wonder she came so early, she came to help voluntarily.

Shen Moer didn't say that she wouldn't let him help. She had decided to be with him, so she had to let him do the housework together. Even after they got married, they would at least share the work.

When Fu Mingze went to fetch water, Shen Moer went into the house and took some dried wild mushrooms. After thinking for a while, she took some angelica and ginseng, cut a piece of clean linen, wrapped it with star anise, and tied it into a small purse with silk thread.

Fu Mingze came back quickly with the water, poured the water into the pot and covered it with a lid. Then he sat behind the stove to light a fire.

He didn't look very experienced in lighting the fire. Shen Moer asked curiously, "Don't you educated youth take turns to cook?"

Fu Mingze looked at her and said, "Those who can't cook are responsible for chopping wood and fetching water."

I understand. Fu educated youth should be the one in charge of chopping wood and fetching water.

Fu Zhiqing was not very experienced in lighting the fire, but he was very skilled in burning the fire. The fire burned very vigorously and smoke soon came out of the pot. Shen Moer took a bowl, put the wild mushrooms in it, scooped a spoonful of boiling water from the pot and poured it on the mushrooms.

Fu Mingze pushed the firewood out of the stove hole, stuffed it into the ashes underneath, stood up and said, "I'm going to kill a chicken."

Shen Moer glanced at him and asked, "Can you kill a chicken?"

Fu Mingze was slightly stunned and said, "I've never killed one before, but I've asked someone for advice."

Shen Moer was amused by him: "Who did you ask?"

Fu Mingze: "I asked Aunt Cai, and she said... as long as you are quick, ruthless and accurate, just cut the neck and it will be fine."

Shen Moer: "...Let me do it."

Shen Moer had no experience in killing domestic chickens, but fortunately she had rich experience in dealing with wild chickens and rabbits, and her hands were steady and her knife was accurate. As Fu Mingze said, she was quick, ruthless and accurate, and she cut the chicken's neck with one knife.

The killed chicken was thrown into an enamel basin filled with hot water. After soaking in hot water, the chicken feathers were easy to pluck. The two of them sat opposite each other on a small stool and began to pluck the feathers.

The enamel basin was not big, and the distance between the two people sitting across the enamel basin was naturally not far. Shen Moer moved slightly and touched his knee. She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She moved again, and ended up bumping into his other knee.

"..."

This man's legs are too long, and they really take up space.

Shen Moer raised her head and wanted to get up and pull the stool, but Fu Mingze was also looking up at her. The distance was originally close, but now their heads were even closer.

The warm breath on her face was a little itchy. Shen Moer suddenly felt her breathing was a little disordered, and her heartbeat was getting faster and faster. She subconsciously leaned back slightly and stood up.

Almost at the same time, a wet hand grabbed her.

The fingertips with a layer of thin silk rubbed her wrist unconsciously. Shen Moer's face was so hot that it was about to burn. She turned her head and glared at Fu Mingze: "What are you doing?"

Fu Mingze held her hand tightly, staring at Shen Moer with his dark and deep eyes. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Have you told your father?"

Shen Moer: "What if I told you, what if I didn't? Let go first!"

Fu Mingze: "No."

He said in a rogue manner, "You are my target whether I told you or not. I will tell Uncle Shen in person later."

Shen Moer was almost laughed at by him: "Why are you being a rogue?"

"Yeah." Fu Mingze nodded and said seriously, "Isn't it human nature to be a rogue in order to find a target?"

So you are quite glorious?

Shen Moer stared at Fu Mingze for a few times, thinking that this man usually looks good with a cold face, but now he seems to look even better when he is being a rogue?

How can she resist him?

"I've said it before, I've said it before."

Shen Moer said helplessly.

As a result, the man suddenly stood up. Shen Moer felt the light in front of her eyes dimmed, and she was kissed lightly on the face.
