He crocheted faster than Old Lady Shen and Shen Chunling. As soon as Shen Shuyu came back, Gu Jiandong showed off his almost finished sweater to her.
"Shu Yu, look at the sweater I made for Bai Luobo. Doesn't it look good?"
Gu Jiandong's stitches are even and dense, and those who don't know him would think he is an old hand. There is nothing wrong with the sweater he crocheted for Bai Luobo.
"nice!"
"Gu Jiandong, didn't you say you'd treat me the best? You've already crocheted a sweater for Bai Luobo, so what about mine?"
Gu Jiandong chuckled, "I'll practice crocheting white radish first, and then I'll crochet you tomorrow. I want to crochet the most beautiful sweater for Shu Yu."
Shen Shuyu was very pleased to hear this. The white radish under his feet knew that the sweater was for him. He kept tugging at Gu Jiandong with his claws and stretched his head, signaling Gu Jiandong to put on the new sweater.
Gu Jiandong patted its head and said, "You can't wear new clothes until the Chinese New Year. I can't let you wear them now. You will get them dirty. I don't want to wash your clothes."
Bai Luobo drooped his face and snorted at Gu Jiandong in dissatisfaction.
Shen Chunling put down the yarn in her hand and asked, "Shu Yu, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Shen Shuyu put down the basket and took out the pheasant. "Second Aunt, I caught a pheasant. I haven't had chicken soup for a long time. Let's make chicken soup tonight."
Shen Chunling weighed the pheasant and said, "Wow, this pheasant looks really fat, I guess it weighs about four or five pounds.
Mother, your eldest granddaughter has brought back another pheasant to honor you. We are in for a treat tonight."
Old Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "My dearest child is the most filial. Go and boil some water so that we can pluck the feathers later. Then make some chicken soup so that the two children won't go hungry."
Shen Chunling worked very efficiently. After boiling water, she came out to cut the pheasant's neck, drain the blood, and pluck the feathers. She went into Old Lady Shen's room and packed some mushrooms. There were also some red dates in Shen Shuyu's room, so she took out a handful.
"Second Aunt, put some red dates in the stew, it will taste better."
"You kid, you know how to eat a lot." Red dates are a good thing. How can they not taste good when used to make soup?
Liu Pandi lay in the room, listening to the conversation outside with her ear tilted. She kicked Uncle Shen and said, "Xiangxi, your son wants to drink chicken soup!"
Uncle Shen was sleeping and was kicked awake by her. "Didn't you just drink it a while ago? Why do you want to drink it again? Where can I get you a chicken to make chicken soup?"
"No need to go out, our mother has some ready-made. I heard that Shen Shuyu, that damn girl, caught a pheasant and is now stewing it with red dates. The doctor said that red dates are good for the body. If I drink this, my baby will definitely be chubby when he's born."
Liu Pandi touched his belly and said, "Look, our son is moving. He's saying hello to you, his father."
Uncle Shen looked at her belly and said, "I think you want to drink chicken soup. Why are you talking about your son?"
"What's the difference between my son just drinking and me wanting to drink? I drank it, and I feel better. Isn't your son better too?"
Uncle Shen was not willing to ask his parents why they hated chicken soup, especially since the pheasant was caught by his eldest niece.
After the family was divided, Old Lady Shen often told her three sons how much their eldest son had helped them before his death, how much their three older brothers had taken advantage of them, and how much Shu Yu had contributed to the family at such a young age.
To put it bluntly, Uncle Shen San felt guilty towards the Fourth House. It was not easy for his eldest niece, a girl, to catch a pheasant. His parents were old and needed to eat more to nourish themselves. As a son, he was incompetent.
He didn't have any good things to offer his parents. When his eldest niece brought back a pheasant, he, as the uncle, went up to ask for it. He felt ashamed just thinking about it.
Uncle Shen thought about it again and again and rejected Liu Pandi's request, "Don't worry about the pheasant that Shu Yu caught. They don't owe us anything.
Just do it in front of me, don't do it in front of them, or I will ignore you."
"Shen Xiangxi, the baby in my belly is your son. If you continue like this, I'm going back to my parents' home."
Liu Pandi said this with confidence. She was pregnant now and she didn't believe her man would ask her to go back to her parents' home.
When she said she wanted to go back to her parents' home, Uncle Shen laughed and said, "Go back. You will go hungry for nine meals in three days and wait on your whole Liu family with a big belly.
In the dead of winter, we lived in a drafty, leaky woodshed. We were cold and hungry, covered in frostbite. We had to get up before dawn to wash clothes for the whole family.
Go ahead and take my son to your Liu family to enjoy a good life.
When you are not at home, I am relieved and do not have to wait on you."
Liu Pandi had been living comfortably these days. No one could make her angry. No matter what she said, the men would indulge her. Liu Pandi almost forgot what her life was like at her parents' home. After hearing this, her arrogance had mostly subsided.
But she still said stubbornly, "What nonsense are you talking about? My family would never treat me like this. My mother, my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law are very good to me.
If I get pregnant, they will definitely take care of me and give me good food.”
Uncle Shen got up and packed her clothes, "Then go back and let your mother, your sister-in-law, and your sister-in-law take care of you.
They love you, they will definitely make you chicken soup. Not to mention chicken soup, if you want to eat pork elbow, maybe they can get it for you. Go back, go back to your parents' home and enjoy yourself!"
After packing her clothes, Uncle Shen was about to pull her off the kang. Liu Pandi shouted, "Xiangxi, what are you doing? I just said it casually. I don't really want to go back. This is my home..."
Shen Chunling looked towards her third brother's room and Shen Shuyu and said, "Tsk, your third aunt is causing trouble again!"
