It was Liu Pandi's turn to make breakfast today. Old Lady Shen took out three eggs from the house and said, "Old Third Brother, these eggs are for making steamed egg custard for my sweet baby. Don't eat them secretly."
"Mom, you don't even know who I am, so don't worry." Liu Panzi lowered her brows and looked submissive, but she complained in her heart that she wanted to eat secretly, but when it was her turn to cook, Zhang Cuicui and Li Caixia kept staring at her like ghosts, and she didn't even have the chance to lick the eggshell.
During the time that Shen Shuyu had traveled through time, she had already adapted to the life here. Living together as a large family in the Shen family was bound to cause quarrels, but despite the quarrels, no one dared to make Shen Shuyu unhappy.
The family was building a mud-brick house, so they were very busy. Every day after work, Old Man Shen and his colleagues didn't even have time to drink a sip of water before they started working.
When his eldest brother's family was building a mud house, Shen Erzhu called his two sons and three grandsons to help.
Many young people in the team came to help. The people in Shenjiaba Brigade are still very simple and honest. If anyone needs help, they will come without being called.
You don't have to pay for helping out, but if they come to work, you have to provide them with food, among other things.
The Shen family has 32 mouths to feed, including those who come to help, so a lot of food needs to be prepared for dinner.
Liu Pandi muttered, "How can we use so many people? If we really need people, it would be better to ask my brother and nephew to come over to help."
Zhang Cuicui retorted to her, "Come on, your brother and nephew from your mother's side are like this, can they come here to work? I'm afraid they are just here to eat for free. Not only do they eat for free, but they also take food and things with them before leaving." Zhang Cuicui despised her third brother and sister-in-law's family.
"Sister-in-law, why are you so harsh? My brother and nephew are very hardworking. How could they eat for free when they come to our house? I think you have a grudge against me, and by extension, against my family."
When Liu Pandi said that her brother from her mother's family was hardworking, her voice was a little low. To be honest, she was a little lacking in confidence to refute it.
"You know whether you can eat plain rice or not." Zhang Cuicui didn't argue with her. She washed the vegetables quickly and went into the kitchen.
Shen Shuyu didn't go up the mountain these days. He helped boil water and pour water at home.
Shen Shuyu felt quite embarrassed when Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen praised her so much.
She had endless energy and wanted to help make adobe bricks, but her family wouldn't let her. Shen Shuyu could only content herself with being a nobody.
There were many people, so the four adobe houses to be built were not big and were completed in ten days.
On the last day of completion, Grandma Shen specially asked her eldest grandson to go and cut a pound of fat meat. Grandma Shen cut the fat meat into thin slices, so that each of the thirty-two people could get two slices of fat meat. The young men and women who came to help were all very satisfied.
These days everyone is short of oil and water. People are usually satisfied with being able to eat a little bit of meat, let alone these two thin slices of meat.
There was a dark-skinned young man who looked at the fat slices in his bowl and swallowed his saliva. He didn't eat it and only ate the cabbage in his bowl.
Shen Jiabao nudged him with his elbow and said, "Quanzi, didn't you say you wanted to eat meat when you were bathing in the river last night? Why aren't you eating now?"
Huang Daquan smiled foolishly, "My wife is pregnant and wants to eat some meat. I will save some for her when I get home."
Before traveling through time, Shen Shuyu had read many novels about the period and knew that life was difficult in that era.
She was still shocked when she came through. Only then did she truly feel what suffering was.
She felt bad, but there was nothing she could do.
Shen Shuyu has always had a clear understanding of herself. She is just a salted fish and cannot do anything awesome. She is lucky enough to ensure that she does not starve to death.
A week after the adobe house was built, Mr. Shen came over and said that a group of educated youth would come to their Shenjiaba Brigade the next day, and Gu Jiandong's name was on the list of educated youth.
After hearing this, Old Man Shen called his eldest grandson and said, "Jiabao, tomorrow you and Shuyu will go to the commune with your second uncle's ox cart to pick up someone."
