Chapter 24

Shen Chenchen wiped the little bun's face distressedly, and continued: "Buy a candied haws to satisfy your hunger, and it's not like eating every day. Adults can bear it, but the child is a bit pitiful."

Shen Chenchen was generous in his actions and spoke very decently. The village woman who asked the question just now was a little embarrassed, and her cheeks were slightly hot.

One of the children who just got maltose was hers. At this time, the mouth of the eater is soft and the hands are short, so she can't ask any more questions, so she can only keep asking her child to thank her sister.

That kid was also clever, and after eating the malt candy, he kept thanking Shen Chenchen: "Thank you sister, this malt candy is really sweet!"

Shen Chenchen smiled and said that you are welcome. Suddenly, the atmosphere on the bullock cart became very harmonious.

It was a pity for the few village women who didn't bring their children out. After all, they could see that this little girl only gave the children candy.

They are not greedy, but their family is poor, and it is rare for their children to eat a piece of candy. Although it is a bit embarrassing to eat other people's food, but in the current situation, they don't care whether it is shameful or not. It is rare for children to have a sweet mouth. OK

However, they didn't really have the cheek to ask Shen Chenchen for it. The bullock cart just drove slowly. Because of the two pieces of maltose, the atmosphere in the car became more and more lively.

In the end, the bullock cart drove directly to Donglu Village.

Because the other village women in the car are from the village next door, they are all sitting in the car. Some people came to Donglu Village for the first time and looked around curiously. All about the same.

At dusk, it was almost time to go home with a hoe, and many peasants and village women in the fields were also packing their things and preparing to go home, so they happened to meet Shen Chenchen and recognized him at a glance.

Shen Chenchen is now very grateful for his foresight, and he urged Xiaobao Xiaomeng to finish eating the candied haws quickly on the way, otherwise, it might attract a lot of gossip.

Isn't it coming now?

The familiar villagers greeted Shen Chenchen.

"Oh, Chen Chen, you're back. You said you went to the county town and brought your younger siblings with you. What if you get lost?"

"That's right, Chen Chen, did you go to the county to buy something good? Your father is at home alone, and he doesn't know how to cook, so he didn't think carefully."

"Girl Chenchen, you have to be careful with Mrs. Liu when you go back, that woman is narrow-minded, she might cause trouble for you!"

Most of the people reminded Shen Chenchen with the mentality of watching the fun, and there was a smile on Shen Chenchen's face, as if he didn't understand.

"Thank you, uncles and aunts, for your reminders. You are right. I am small and a girl. I really can't stand up to some villains. If I ask you for help, please take care of my uncles and aunts."

Hearing this, quite a few people had embarrassed smiles on their expressions. Those who were afraid of getting into trouble had already slipped away, and it was obvious that they didn't want to help.

Who doesn't know what kind of person Liu Pozi is?If it gets involved, it's not so easy to get rid of it if you want to. Most of the people answered a few words indifferently and went home.

Shen Chenchen snorted softly, looking at his own yard getting closer, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more sincere.

The village women who were in the same car looked at each other. They were not stupid, and they all saw some eyebrows clearly. It seems that this little girl is not very popular in the village, and she seems to have offended someone who can't be offended.

Some village women have sharp ears and eyes, and have heard of Mrs. Liu's name, but after all, they just met by chance, and they didn't intend to initiate a conversation, so they swallowed their thoughts back.

After a while, the ox cart arrived outside the courtyard of Shen Chenchen's house. Shen Chenchen immediately breathed a sigh of relief and called his younger siblings to go down to call for help, while he greeted the other people on the ox cart.

"Then I'll go back first, sister-in-laws, be careful on the road!"

While talking, he gave three pennies to the driver of the ox cart, which was the agreed price.

The coachman was not polite and took it directly.

With a smile on his face, Shen Chenchen carried the basket on his back. It was indeed heavy, and Shen Chenchen almost fell down.

However, although the sentence said that the body was malnourished, after all, he was used to the work. Shen Chenchen's legs softened for a moment, and then he stood up straight.

The bullock cart turned a corner and left slowly.

At this time, Shen Xiaobao and Shen Xiaomeng also called Shen Xiang out of the room. Seeing Shen Chenchen carrying a basket, Shen Xiang hurried out to pick him up.

"What did you buy?"

While speaking, Shen Xiang removed the two pieces of cloth covering the pannier, and then frowned tightly.

"What are you buying these for?" Shen Xiang's tone was very dissatisfied.

"Ouch! What good thing did you buy?"

Suddenly, a high-pitched voice sounded, both Shen Chenchen and Shen Xiang looked towards the voice.

Shen Xiang immediately smiled and said: "It's Aunt Wang. I didn't buy anything, I bought some rice, flour, grain and oil, but this girl doesn't know how to live, and all the things she buys are expensive..."

Shen Xiang is a big man, his mind is not so delicate, and his tone is a complaint from the heart.

After his father finished speaking, Shen Chenchen felt bad in his heart. Looking at the seemingly kind aunt who was walking towards him, Shen Chenchen narrowed his eyes, not missing the flash of light in the other's eyes. sigh:

My father is really worrying!

Shen Chenchen thought for a while, and said directly to his father: "Father, I didn't buy some fine grains for her because I saw that my mother was not in good health. This time, my mother suffered a big crime, so why don't you eat some good food?" gone?"

Shen Xiang was choked by his daughter's words, and originally wanted to say a few words out of habit, but thinking of the child's mother lying on the bed, she finally closed her mouth, nodded and said.

"You're right, your mother suffered a lot this time, and lost her health, so she really needs to eat something good."

Only then did Shen Chenchen feel a little more satisfied, and said directly: "Father, take your things in first, and I'll clean them up later."

"Oh, what are you doing in such a hurry, let me see what I bought!"

When Aunt Wang heard the conversation between the father and daughter, she was a little anxious for a while, and her fat body stepped forward quickly.

Without waiting for Shen Chenchen and Shen Xiang to react, they directly grabbed the frame of the back basket and pulled it towards themselves, and saw that it was full of things at a glance, and immediately exclaimed.

"Hey! Your family has made a fortune! Look at the big white rice and white noodles. Oh, there is also a crock of soybean oil! How long will this be eaten? There are still two pieces of cloth, which is enough for your family Make new clothes for each!"

Aunt Wang didn't know if it was intentional, or she had a naturally loud voice, her voice was very loud, and in addition she spoke quickly, it spread far and wide very quickly.

When other villagers passing by heard this, they all gathered around and looked at Shen Chenchen's back basket in surprise.
