Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Second Update

Shen Yinyin is a good cook. She waved her hand and took charge of the cooking. She also ordered her family members around. Zhao Zhengyang chopped wood, Zhao Zhenghui fetched water, Zhao Tingting washed vegetables, and Zhao Xingguo was even worse. He was given a hoe and was asked to clean up the private plot on the second day of the Chinese New Year.

As the host, Shen Moer and her family didn't have to do anything. They just had to sit and wait for dinner. Shen

Moer originally wanted to go wash vegetables with Zhao Tingting, but Zhao Tingting drove her back. She said that it was her duty as a little apprentice to work at the master's house during the Chinese New Year, and she was determined not to give Shen Moer a chance to help.

Fu Mingze was even more helpless. Zhao Zhengyang and Zhao Zhenghui were indeed brothers. They both said the same thing: "Well, I can't compare to you in studying, and you can't compare to me in working. Go, go, go, take a rest."

Shen Shaoyuan simply took some tea leaves from his room, brewed a pot of tea in an enamel pot, sat in the recliner where Shen Moer usually sat, and drank tea while basking in the sun.

He poured a cup for Shen Moer and Fu Mingze. Shen Moer picked up the enamel cup and took a sip. Her face changed slightly and she subconsciously glanced at Fu Mingze. Fu Mingze stood and took a sip. After hesitating, he said, "This tea... is good."

Shen Shaoyuan's hand holding the enamel cup paused slightly. He was silent for a few seconds and said, "This is a wild tea tree I found in the mountains before. I picked it before Qingming Festival. It's Mingqian tea, so of course it's good."

Shen Moer twitched her lips. This was indeed Mingqian tea, but it was a tribute tea from Yunkai County in Daliang.

Ever since she found bird's nest, sea cucumber, fish glue and ham in the treasure house, her father has also become fond of treasure hunting. Especially now that it is not convenient for her to enter the treasure house, her father can do so. He would search the treasure house at night when he has nothing to do. He has found many things. He found this tea himself.

He usually keeps it to himself and drinks it secretly. Today, he was probably so happy that he forgot and poured it for his son-in-law.

Fu Mingze: "...Dad, you can make tea?"

Shen Shaoyuan remained calm: "What's so difficult about it? It's just stir-frying it casually. We can drink it at home. No need to worry about the temperature. It's fine as long as it's about right. But I didn't expect that the tea was quite fragrant. It must be because the wild tea tree is growing well. Alas, I was in a hurry that day and didn't remember the way well. I don't know if I can find it when I look back. If we can find it, we can pick some in the spring."

Fu Mingze took another sip of the sweet and clear tea and nodded: "Indeed, this tea tree is really good."

He actually felt that this was too coincidental, but Shen Shaoyuan said it too naturally. Moreover, if Shen Shaoyuan didn't pick it himself, it would be unlikely for him to buy tea of ​​this quality. So after thinking about it, Fu Mingze accepted Shen Shaoyuan's statement.

As for why Shen Shaoyuan had not taken it out before, it was not surprising. Food was in short supply these days, and supplementary food was even more so. For example, tea leaves were something that could not fill one's stomach, so most people would not buy them. Secondly, the production was extremely small, so it was difficult to buy them even if one wanted to. Shen Shaoyuan had such good tea leaves, so it was normal for him not to be willing to take them out to drink.

Shen Shaoyuan glanced at Fu Mingze, and he looked like he was very distressed but still reluctant to give them up: "I still have some, I'll get some

for you later." After thinking about it, he said, "You can send some to your parents later." He

was really distressed. The things brought from Daliang were all eaten less and less.

But since it had been made public, it was reasonable to send some to the in-laws.

Fu Mingze: "...Okay, thank you, Dad."

I can see that you are reluctant to leave.

Shen Moer drank the water slowly, looked at Fu Mingze, and then looked at Fu Mingze again, secretly sighing, her Fu Zhiqing really has no defense against his father-in-law!

"Hey, Old Seven, are you all here?" Shen Xianghong walked in.

Shen Shaoyuan looked at this cheap fourth sister and smiled faintly: "That's right, it's the first month of the year, where can you go?"

Shen Xianghong walked into the yard, looked around, and thought that Shen Laoqi was really rich and lived in a green brick and tile house. She smiled: "Last time, Mo'er got married and ran into Lingling. You know the temper of the second brother and the second sister-in-law. They care about face and are stingy. I thought you and Mo'er would be more generous and definitely not care about these things, so I left it there. Our Xiaoqin came to the wedding and always said that your family's noodles are good!"

Shen Xianghong couldn't help but feel lucky that she let Lu Xiaoqin come to drink the wedding wine, otherwise it would be like Shen Shengli's family, offending people so much that it would be difficult to talk to them again.

Lu Xiaoqin pulled the corner of her mouth uncomfortably.

The banquet was well prepared, and there were some leaders of the commune at the banquet. It was almost the same as the banquets held by everyone in the commune, except that the host was Shen Moer, which made people feel awkward. It

is said that you should not hit someone who smiles at you. Shen Shaoyuan took a deep look at Shen Xianghong and raised his chin: "Sit down."

Shen Xianghong pulled Lu Xiaoqin to sit down and said: "Moer is really capable. No one needs to worry about her at all. Unlike our Xiaoqin, she doesn't even have a job and can only eat leisurely meals at home."

Lu Xiaoqin moved her butt awkwardly. Of course, she wanted to have a job, but she felt uncomfortable begging someone she looked down upon for a job.

Shen Shaoyuan said nothing and asked Fu Mingze to pour a glass of boiled water for the mother and daughter. Fu Mingze glanced at the enamel pot next to his father-in-law and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

It was obvious that he was reluctant to give them tea.

Shen Xianghong, who knew nothing about it, was quite happy. She asked her son-in-law to pour them hot water. This was treating them as guests seriously. Although Shen Shaoyuan did not respond to what she said before, Shen Xianghong believed that as long as she appealed to his emotions and reasoned with him, Shen Shaoyuan would definitely agree to arrange jobs for his nephews and nieces.

Although Shen Moer was the one who could arrange the jobs, Shen Xianghong felt that a little girl could not understand anything. In the end, she would have to ask her father for help.

Moreover, Shen Moer was the younger generation, and Shen Xianghong still felt a little awkward for her to speak with the younger generation. On the contrary, it was reasonable for her to speak to Shen Shaoyuan. They were all legitimate nephews and nieces. What's wrong with helping out?

But soon Shen Xianghong found that she was too happy too early, because no matter what she said afterwards, no matter how she tried to lead the topic to her daughter, Shen Shaoyuan did not respond at all, and just avoided the topic by practicing Tai Chi.

She tried in vain to find a topic again and again, but Shen Shaoyuan easily avoided it with a few words.

When it was almost time for lunch, Shen Shaoyuan said directly: "The dinner at the old house is ready, aren't you going to eat? It's not good to keep people waiting?"

This was a clear statement to drive people away. Shen Xianghong suppressed her anger and said with a dry smile: "We are all brothers from my mother's family. It doesn't matter whether we eat at the old house or your house. Let your brother-in-law go to the old house to eat, and Xiaoqin and I will have a meal at your house. You won't be reluctant to let him go, will you, Old Seven?"

At this point, most people would have agreed to it, but Shen Shaoyuan was not an ordinary person. He would never force himself to do something that made him unhappy because of embarrassment or the eyes of outsiders. He did things according to his own will and according to his own happiness.

So he was not embarrassed at all and said very sincerely and frankly: "But we don't usually interact with each other. I didn't expect you to come over for dinner. My family doesn't cook for you."

Shen Xianghong was so angry that her face turned blue and white. She turned around and left angrily. Lu Xiaoqin glared at Shen Shaoyuan and hurriedly followed.

Shen Xianghong and her daughter left angrily. Shen Yinyin shouted "Eat!" from the stove, and brought out two plates of food, saying as she walked out: "Shen Xianghong is so funny, she thinks she has more face than Shen Shengli, right?"

Zhao Xingguo was worthy of being a couple with Shen Yinyin, he came in just at dinner time, leaned the hoe against the wall, filled it with water, and said while washing: "Why did I see Lu Yiping walking alone outside to get some fresh air? He was so cold that he kept sneezing."

Shen Yinyin sneered: "He's so arrogant and refuses to bow his head. Ask for help."

Shen Moer said calmly: "My aunt never asked me. If she had asked me directly, I would have told her that the pre-selected workers were full."

Shen Yinyin laughed: "They are both mother and daughter, and they are condescending to come and ask your father."

The lunch was quite rich. Shen Yinyin and her friends brought a piece of bacon and some bamboo shoots and made bacon and bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots were fresh and tender, and the bacon was salty and fragrant. This dish alone was enough for everyone to have a bowl of rice. Together with the half chicken and a fish prepared by Shen Moer and his family, the chicken was stewed with wild mushrooms, the fish was braised, and then there was fried leeks and eggs, and the freshest green vegetables in the frost-bitten winter, the two families ate until their stomachs were full.

After dinner, Zhao Zhengyang was bored and suggested going to the back mountain for a walk. A group of young people immediately agreed. Shen Shaoyuan thought that if he stayed at home, he might have to deal with Shen Xianghong and the like, so he simply said that everyone should go together.

When the two families went out, they happened to meet Wang Qiutong and Zheng Jiamin on the road. The two were arguing about something the second before, but the next second they heard that they were going up the mountain, they immediately stopped arguing, one grabbed Shen Moer, the other grabbed Fu Mingze, and followed shamelessly.

There were exactly ten people in the group, walking through the village towards the back mountain, looking quite impressive. But it was the New Year, many people were visiting relatives, and many relatives and friends were hanging out together, so it wasn't surprising.

"Zheng Zhiqing, where are you going?" When they reached a group of houses near the back mountain of the village, a group of people met a girl holding a basin of clothes. The girl looked delicate and weak, and her cheeks blushed slightly when she looked up at people, looking shy.

Zheng Jiamin said carelessly: "Comrade Xu Wei, let's go for a walk in the back mountain when we have nothing to do."

Xu Wei glanced at Shen Moer, then at Shen Shaoyuan, and asked embarrassedly: "It happens that I have nothing to do either. I wonder if I can go with you?"

Wang Qiutong pulled Shen Moer's arm, pouted and muttered: "Didn't you just wash the clothes? You don't need to hang them out to dry. How come you just have nothing to do?"

Her voice was not loud, but it was not loud enough for others to hear. Xu Wei's face changed slightly, she lowered her head, and murmured: "I, I didn't think that I would have nothing to do after hanging the clothes out. Is it over? If it is, if it is a trouble, forget it."

Seeing her about to cry, Zheng Jiamin immediately said, "Comrade Xu, don't be sad. Wang Qiutong just said that casually. She is straightforward and has no other intentions. If you want to go together, why don't you go and hang the clothes. I'm here, no, Fu Mingze and I will wait for you here."

Fu Mingze was grabbed by him and couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have to be with my wife."
