After hearing what Shen Xiaoxia said, Aunt Guixiang asked doubtfully, "Really?"

Shen Xiaoxia nodded repeatedly, fearing that she was slow. Aunt Guixiang didn't believe it. "Yes, Auntie, I'll go back to the Youth League Home after work. I usually just pick up some firewood in the corner of the mountain. What kind of dirty things can I encounter? It's nothing!"

Aunt Guixiang heard Shen Xiaoxia say that and thought so, but she was still worried and whispered to her, "If you feel something is wrong with yourself later, come to me and I will use some folk remedies to help you get rid of it!"

Shen Xiaoxia laughed dryly, "Auntie, I'm fine. If anything really happens, I'll come find you again!"

Aunt Guixiang didn't go far either. She was weeding next to Shen Xiaoxia and talking to her.

Because Aunt Guixiang was beside her, Shen Xiaoxia stopped looking into the space.

I feel much more energetic because of the scare just now!

When going to work in the afternoon, Aunt Guixiang was worried about Shen Xiaoxia and was still talking to her. Shen Xiaoxia took a nap at noon and her spirits recovered a lot!

It was not until she got off work in the afternoon that Aunt Guixiang realized that she was probably overthinking it!

Shen Xiaoxia probably felt tired just as she said, because she didn't sleep well last night. Later, she was happy from time to time because she thought of the good news about her eldest brother at home!

Although Shen Xiaoxia was just making it up, what she didn't know was that she was actually right!

At the Shen family, after getting off work, Shen's mother hurried home as fast as she could. She had to prepare dinner for the whole family.

After the meal was ready, the family sat down at the table to eat. Mother Shen looked at the eldest brother of the Shen family, Shen Weidong, and asked, "Weidong, how are you getting along with Yufen recently? What does she say?"

Shen Weidong had met a girl before through someone's introduction, and he even wrote to Shen Xiaoxia about it, but it eventually fell through because the girl's family's demands were too excessive!

Later, through an introduction, I met a new girl named Sun Yufen.

This girl has a good personality and a decent job. She is a formal employee of a textile factory and earns 23 yuan a month!

Her family spoke out clearly at the very beginning.

If they really get married, Sun Yufen's family will not take back her job and will let her continue working on her own.

However, my family spent a lot of money and favors on this job. After I get married, my parents will definitely not get any of the salary.

So they asked the man to give 400 yuan as a gift, and they didn't ask for anything else.

Three turns and one ring are not a hard requirement, but thirty-six legs are required, and the other small parts are fine as long as they are included.

After hearing what Shen Weidong said, Shen's father and mother felt that this request was not too excessive. It is really difficult to find a job these days.

Sun Yufen has a stable job and earns money every month. Giving her 400 yuan in the name of a betrothal gift can be considered as the Sun family's kindness!

Mr. and Mrs. Shen agreed to the Sun family's request.

The two have been together for a while, and Shen's mother had previously asked Shen Weidong to ask Sun Yufen's family what they thought.

If possible, can we get it done during the Chinese New Year this year?

Sun Weidong looked at Shen's mother and said, "I mentioned this to Yufen last time, and she said she would go home and discuss it with her parents."

Mother Shen nodded and said, "If it can be confirmed, I would like to tell Xiaoxia as soon as possible and ask her if she can go home for the New Year this year.

Anyway, she is not busy in winter, so she should be able to take a leave.

I don't know how the child is doing now. Every time he wrote to me, he said he was doing well and only reported good news, not bad news! "

After listening to Shen's mother talking about Shen Xiaoxia, everyone was a little silent. Shen's father also sighed. After all, he owed this child. He was far away from his hometown and went to the countryside alone. He had to work in the fields every day. Life must be very difficult!

She must have lost weight and gotten tanned!

If Shen Xiaoxia knew what they were thinking, she would definitely object loudly!

No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!

I have a good life, and it has always been beautiful!

Mother Shen wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "I will send her 20 yuan tomorrow and send her a letter. No matter whether Weidong gets married during the Spring Festival or not, she should go home for the Spring Festival this year. If she is stingy with the money, we will send her the money for the train ticket separately when the time comes!"

Shen Weidong heard his mother say, "Give Xiaoxia another 10 yuan, just as a token of my appreciation as a big brother!"

Mother Shen nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll send it to her tomorrow."

After finishing work, Shen Xiaoxia walked slowly towards the Youth League Home. When she returned to the backyard, everyone had already returned.

The doors of everyone's rooms were half-open, probably because they were all preparing dinner in the kitchen.

After opening the door, Shen Xiaoxia drank half a glass of water first, and then planned to go to the vegetable garden at the back to pick some vegetables to stir-fry in the evening.

She didn't take a basket, but went there empty-handed. She didn't plan to pick too much, just enough to eat tonight.

On the way there, she ran into Han Zhuxin who was walking back. Han Zhuxin saw Shen Xiaoxia and asked, "Hey, Xia Xia, are you picking vegetables too?"

Shen Xiaoxia nodded and looked at the cucumber and eggplant in Han Zhuxin's hand. "Eating cucumber and eggplant tonight?"

Han Zhuxin: "Yeah, there are only a few dishes, and nothing else to eat!"

After thinking about it, I felt a little emotional, "I haven't eaten meat for a long time, I really want to eat meat!"

Shen Xiaoxia could always eat meat, so she couldn't empathize with Han Zhuxin's feelings. "Then let's go to the county town next time we have a break. We can buy some meat to satisfy our craving!"

Han Zhuxin nodded and said, "I have to go there. I'm really craving meat!"

He waved at Shen Xiaoxia again, "You go pick the vegetables, I'll go back to cook!"

Walking into the vegetable garden, Shen Xiaoxia picked two cucumbers and two eggplants without much thought, and also picked three peppers!

She plans to eat cold cucumber and fried eggplant with peppers in the evening!

After picking the vegetables and returning home, she cooked rice first.

I cooked a whole pot of rice. Except for what I will eat tonight, I will put the rest in the space and eat it slowly later, so I don’t have to cook it for every meal.

Cold cucumber salad and stir-fried eggplant with peppers are both relatively simple dishes that cook quickly. Shen Xiaoxia plans to wait until the rice is cooked before frying them.

She cut some of the bacon she had previously pickled and planned to stir-fry it with eggplant. Putting some meat in the eggplant would make it taste better.

After preparing the food, she left the kitchen and planned to wash the clothes.

There were only two pieces of clothing, and she was too lazy to throw them in the washing machine, so she just washed them by hand and then hung them up to dry.

After washing the clothes, I went to tidy up the room.

While cleaning up, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to be planning to hang a mosquito net today!

He got to work right away. He took out the mosquito net from the cupboard, went out to find some bamboo poles, cleaned them, and then nailed a few nails on the wall and the kang wall to hang up the mosquito net!

After hanging up the mosquito net and preparing to cook, Han Zhuxin came over with a bowl of rice and saw that Shen Xiaoxia had already hung up the mosquito net. "Oh~! You've already hung it up? I just remembered and was about to come over to remind you!"

Then he said, "Okay, since it's already been hung up, I'll go back first. Have you not had time to cook yet?"

Seeing Shen Xiaoxia nodded, she didn't bother her too much and left with the bowl!

Shen Xiaoxia also went to the kitchen to prepare dinner!
