Shen Shuyu got up early in the morning. She wanted to sleep in, but everyone in the family got up early. Shen Shuyu could hear everyone talking even in a low voice, so she couldn't fall asleep even if she wanted to.
After washing up, Shen Qiu came to sit at Shen Shuyu's door. As soon as she opened the door, Shen Qiu fell down along the door.
Shen Shuyu quickly supported her head and asked, "Why are you leaning against the door?"
Shen Qiu patted his butt and stood up, "It's comfortable to lean against the door."
Li Caixia had just returned from the vegetable garden after picking onions and said, "She's not leaning against the door for comfort. She's thinking about going to the supply and marketing cooperative. She doesn't dare wake you up, so she can only wait at the door."
Shen Qiu chuckled, "Big sister, I'll get you some water to wash your face."
Shen Qiu moved quickly, took Shen Shuyu's washbasin and filled it with water, and even wrung out the towel considerately, "Big sister, here."
No wonder Shen Shuyu likes this cousin, she is very good at dealing with things.
Shen Xue was washing her face nearby. Seeing Shen Qiu's attentive look, she looked down upon her cousin. "Xiao Qiu, you're so nice to Big Sister. As soon as she comes, you hang around her."
Shen Qiu said quickly, "Since my elder sister is nice to me, I am happy to be around her."
Shen Xue: "..." What she meant was that she was not good enough, and Shen Qiu was not willing to revolve around her, the second sister!
As soon as Shen Qiu looked up, Shen Xue's smile disappeared. She was confused and said, "Sister, I didn't say anything wrong, why did Second Sister change her expression?"
Shen Shuyu said calmly, "Don't worry about her!"
After breakfast, Old Lady Shen called Shen Shuyu into the house and stuffed some money into her pocket. "Buy whatever you like. If you're hungry, go to the state-owned restaurant and have a good meal."
The third granddaughter also went with them, and Old Lady Shen stuffed some money into her pocket, saying, "Take care of your eldest sister. If there are any packages, help carry them."
When they went to the county town, her grandmother even offered to give her money and tickets. Shen Qiu was very happy. "I know, grandmother. I will take good care of my elder sister."
Shen Shuyu and Shen Qiu can both go to the county town, and Old Lady Shen even gives them money and tickets. Shen Xue feels uncomfortable. They are her granddaughters, so why can they go to the county town while she has to go to work?
Shen Xue walked up to Old Lady Shen, with a well-behaved look on her face, "Grandma, I haven't been to the county town for a long time, and I want to go shopping too."
Old Mrs. Shen was annoyed. "Go, go, all of you go."
Old Mrs. Shen took two cents from her pocket and gave it to her, then took her hoe and went out to work.
Shen Xue chased after her, "Grandma, you forgot to give me the ticket. I also want to buy a bottle of vanishing cream, and two cents is not enough." She wanted to go to the hospital to see Zhou Jingchen later, and two cents was not enough for what.
This time, Mrs. Shen didn't lose her temper, but Li Caixia was furious. "What? You're still scorning me for two cents? You think two cents is easy to earn? You barely make two cents a day! And you still want to buy some vanishing cream? Do you think you're some city lady?"
In Li Caixia's opinion, two cents was already a lot. If it was used to buy food, it could buy more than a pound of cornmeal. Shen Xue still complained about it. She was too ungrateful.
The old lady also gave her daughter two cents, and her daughter was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
Zhang Cuicui also felt that her niece was becoming more and more ignorant, and she even rejected the money she was given.
Shen Xue lowered her head and said, "Grandma, Second Aunt, I... my skin is sunburned. I just want to buy some facial cleanser."
Old Lady Shen snatched the two cents from Shen Xue's hand and said, "If you think the money is too little, give it back to me."
It was time to go to work soon, and Old Mrs. Shen had no time to pay attention to Shen Xue.
Liu Pandi also felt that his daughter was a little ungrateful. "You, you, the old lady gave you money, so you just take it. Why do you think it's not enough?"
It would be great if she could give the money to her mother if she thought it was too little. She could buy twenty fruit candies with two cents. When she goes back to her mother's house to visit relatives, she can share them with her nephews. It will make her look so proud. But now, she has no money left.
Shen Xue obviously didn't expect the old lady to take the money back. Looking at her empty palms, it took her a while to react, "Mom, please stop talking."
The damn old woman was so biased. She gave Shen Qiuyu five dollars and a ticket, but only had twenty cents when it came to her. After she said a few words, she had even less than twenty cents left.
Shen Xue feels a little regretful now. If she had known this earlier, she would not have said anything.
Shen Qiu glanced at her second sister, said nothing, carried the backpack, and pulled her eldest sister out.
Shen Xue thought about it and ran out.
Everyone was busy working to earn work points, and there were only two aunts and one aunt-in-law on the ox cart.
As soon as Shen Qiu got on the ox cart, he greeted his aunts and elder sisters, "Third aunt, Aunt Li, Aunt Huang."
"Hey, Qiu girl, you guys are going to the county town too."
"There's no salt at home, so my grandma asked us to buy some."
"Your grandma really loves you. She even lets you three sisters go together to buy salt." Aunt Li looked down on Old Lady Shen. She had grandchildren but didn't love them, so she loved the girls instead.
What's the point of loving a little girl? When she reaches marriageable age, she will have to get married and then belong to another family.
Aunt Huang looked at the three sisters of the Shen family and said, "You three sisters are really beautiful, each one more beautiful than the other."
Especially Shen Xue, this girl, not only is she well-behaved and sensible, but she's also pretty. If she were to marry her second son...
Thinking of this, Aunt Huang took Shen Xue's hand affectionately and said, "Oh, your little hands are so white and tender, like tofu.
Xiaoxue, you are not young anymore. Do you have any young man you like?
If not, look at your brother Dazhi. You two grew up together. As the city people say, you are childhood sweethearts..."
Shen Xue forced a smile, "Aunt Huang, my grandma said I'm still young, so there's no rush."
Shen Xue calmly withdrew her hand, feeling extremely disgusted. She didn't know whether Aunt Huang washed her hands after going to the toilet. As for her second son, Shen Xue had never even looked at him. And Aunt Huang still wanted to bring them together. What a wishful thinking.
The person Shen Xue wanted to marry had to be at least a city dweller.
Along the way, no one talked to Shen Shuyu, and Shen Shuyu was happy and relaxed.
Shen Qiu was chatting happily with the old lady. When he got excited, he even slapped his thighs at the same tempo as the old lady. Shen Shuyu felt pain just from the sound of the slaps.
The ox cart drove to the county town, and several people got off. Shen Shuyu gave them money, and Shen Xue came over, as if hesitant to speak, "Sister, can you..."
"No." Shen Shuyu interrupted her before she finished speaking.
She looked at Shen Qiu again, "Xiao Qiu, my second sister forgot to bring money, can you give it to her for me?"
Shen Qiu pretended not to hear and ran away.
The second sister wants her to pay, no way!
Shen Shuyu and Shen Qiu walked away, and Shen Xue looked pitiful as if she was being bullied by her elder sister.
Aunt Huang felt sorry for her, "What's wrong with Shen Shuyu? She had money in her hand, but she refused to even pay for your bus fare. She must have been spoiled by your grandparents. Xiaoxue, you too, can't be too soft."
She is so soft-hearted. How can I marry into her family as a daughter-in-law and then not be able to bring back even a piece of meat when I return to her parents' home?
"No, Aunt Huang, please don't misunderstand. My elder sister and younger sister are very nice to me. They just... just..." Shen Xue racked her brains to find excuses for them, but she couldn't think of any after thinking for a long time. She was very anxious.
"Okay, Auntie knows you are a good child, and Shen Shuyu is too unreasonable."
Aunt Li also felt that Shen Shuyu was not a decent person. She had never seen a girl who didn't work in the fields. Not working in the fields would be fine, but she didn't even do housework. She was spoiled and domineering. Which family would dare to marry such a girl?
