After farming, I opened a family tree

Chapter 8: Wall Breaking

Two young men stood at the door

They were two brothers from the same clan in the village, Shen Tiezhu and Shen Tieshuan. Their father was an old bricklayer, so the two brothers also knew this craft.

When Shen Dashan first went up the mountain, he went to their house and asked them to help build a wall in the middle of the yard.

It was already past the busy farming season, so the two of them came here after breakfast.

"Since we've split up, let's do it more thoroughly. Let's build the courtyard wall according to the location of this bamboo."

The Shen Tiezhu brothers were not the kind of people who would play tricks on others. After they knew their location, they started to work.

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers."

Liu didn't expect her husband to act so quickly, but when she thought of the expressions of her mother-in-law and Wang just now, she hoped that the wall would be built immediately.

"Iron Pillar, please build this wall higher!"

After saying that, he pulled Shen Tang to boil lard.

"Mom, fry the lard with water first."

"You kid, you really can't afford to waste more than just food and fuel."

"Mom, this lard, after blanching it, add a bowl of water and boil it again, the color that comes out is snow-white!"

Liu didn't believe it, but she did it anyway.

After my daughter woke up, she seemed to understand a lot of things.

But she didn't say anything, and she and Dashan didn't ask.

While Liu was boiling lard, Shen Tang was boiling saponin with soapberry.

The aroma of lard filled the courtyard.

"Tangtang, what is this wood ash used for?"

My daughter said that the ash she made can be used to wash clothes and hands, but it is dark and dirty.

When Liu took the wood ash to the utility room, she was really confused.

“You’ll know when it’s done.”

Lye is needed to make soap. The most convenient way in that era was to mix wood ash with water to form lye.

In late autumn, the food you cook will cool down a lot after a while.

Shen Tang mixed these things together and stirred them continuously.

The liquid in the basin gradually became viscous.

Shen Tang found a few sections of bamboo and put them into a bamboo tube.

"Oh! Sister-in-law, your lard is so beautiful!"

There was the sound of iron bolts outside.

They knew that Liu was making lard, and during the break, they were amazed to see the lard that had already solidified slightly.

Lard is available in every household in Shenjia Village, but this is the first time that the two brothers have seen such snow-white lard.

This doesn’t look like lard at all, it looks so good!

Shen Tang came out holding a few bamboo tubes. Liu hurriedly took them out and was also surprised when she saw them.

It’s so strange, I put water and oil in, but it came out like this!

This was also Shen Tang’s first time making handmade soap. In his previous life, he had only seen bloggers do it in videos, and he didn’t know if he could succeed.

But if we just replicate it a little bit, life will be easier.

As the sun rose higher, the courtyard gate was opened again. This time, it was Shen Dashan who came in, carrying two wild rabbits, a pheasant and two crucian carp in his hands.

"Brother Dashan, you're lucky."

Shen Dashan didn't expect that his luck would be so good this time. In the past, it was good enough to find a pheasant when he went up the mountain.

"Mother, please make this fish today."

"The rest will be sold in town the day after tomorrow."

Each rabbit weighs at least two pounds. One rabbit can be sold for one hundred coins, and two rabbits can be sold for two hundred coins.

"Uncle, you're amazing! You actually caught a rabbit. We'll have rabbit meat to eat tonight."

Shen Wu suddenly ran over and surrounded Shen Dashan.

Shen Dashan goes up the mountain every once in a while. Although he doesn't get a harvest every time, it is rare to get as much as today.

Shen Wu had eaten rabbit meat before, and it tasted much better than pork.

Pork has a flavor no matter how it is cooked, but rabbit meat is different.

Thinking about it, Shen Wu was drooling.

So when he saw Shen Dashan bringing in two rabbits, he couldn't wait to run over.

"Awu, you can't eat this rabbit."

"Uncle, you don't love Wu anymore. Wu wants to eat meat. Wu wants to eat meat."

Shen Tang is not a good-tempered person, especially when facing children.

In her previous life, everyone around her was in love and getting married. Every day, she felt annoyed when she heard people around her talking about children.

Now when I see this kind of naughty kid, my fists are stiff.

"roll!"

Shen Tang picked up the broom at hand.

"Mom, the little fool wants to hit me! The little fool wants to hit me. Sister, come and help me!"

Shen Wu stepped back and shouted behind him.

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole courtyard fell silent.

"What are you talking about, kid? Shen Tang is your sister!"

Wang originally thought that if she let her son act like a spoiled child, she would definitely get some benefits, considering Shen Dashan's love for his son.

I didn't expect that the youngest son is also so stupid.

This uncle's family already loved Shen Tang very much. After hearing the howling, she saw that the joints of her sister-in-law's fingers, which were holding the spatula, had turned white.

"Brother and sister-in-law, Awu is still young. Don't take what this child says seriously."

"Although Ah Wu is a bit reckless, he is also a good boy. Not to mention Ah Tao, who is the most obedient."

Shen Dashan and Liu were already angry with the second family after hearing what Shen Tang said before.

Now that my nephew has shouted it out, it has become concrete.

Their daughter suffered so much when they were not around.

No wonder my daughter listened to Shen Tang and Shen Wu so much before. It seems that she was afraid of being bullied.

"Since we have separated, we should each live our own lives."

Wang knew that Shen Dashan was angry, and hurriedly pulled her son into the house.

What could she do? Her mother-in-law held on to the family property and refused to give her any of it, and her husband had no ambition and only did opportunistic things every day.

My husband also said that life is difficult now that the family has separated, and my mother-in-law will provide some subsidies.

It's all deceptive!

"I've made a fool of myself, you two brothers. You've worked hard all morning. Let's take a break and have a good chat."

Shen Dashan greeted the two brothers Shen Tiezhu.

Shen Tang obediently boiled water,

"My eldest niece is finally well. Brother Dashan, the good days for you and your sister-in-law are still to come."

Shen Tiezhu is not very old. He just got married and had a daughter a few years ago.

Tieshuan is younger than him and has just gotten engaged to a family in the next village.

Both of them are young and have a lot of tricks on their lips.

When she returned home that night, Shen Er's family treated her niece harshly, and the reputation of Shen Wu and Shen Tao for not caring for their sisters spread throughout Shenjia Village.

Later on, it became even more difficult to get married.

Liu's cooking skills have always been good. She ate up the whole fish.

When Shen Tang ate the fish, he felt relaxed all over.

She wants to make good money and eat delicious food every day!

After dinner, brothers Shen Dashan and Tiezhu built a mud wall together.

Shen Tang followed Liu to the river to wash clothes.

After returning, Liu moved some wood and planned to build a chicken coop in the corner of the yard.

"The day after tomorrow, let's go buy some chicks. When they grow up, Tangtang can eat eggs every day."

"Also, buy two geese. They can help you look after the house while your mother is out working."

Liu was fiddling with the wood skillfully while talking to Shen Tang.

Days like this are actually not bad.

This idea appeared in Shen Tang's mind.
