Chapter 8

Not long after leaving Yuhang, Shen An and Sun Hu separated.Sun Hu is going to buy things for his engagement. He is very satisfied with his unmarried daughter-in-law, and plans to choose something in private to please her.Shen An went directly to the pharmacy to get medicine for Shen's mother for a month.

When passing by Jixiang Dessert Shop, a sweet smell of freshly baked pastries filled the nearby road.

Thinking that Mrs. Lin drank the bitter medicine soup for several months, and would not be able to live without it in the future, Shen An felt a little distressed, and planned to buy some pastries for Shen's mother to sweeten her mouth.

"Little brother, how do you sell dim sum here?" Shen An asked as he walked into the shop.

At this afternoon, when it was the hottest day, there was no one in the shop.Xiao Er, who was leaning against the counter and dozing off with her head down, immediately woke up when she heard the arrival of the guests. After gathering her energy, she quickly quoted the prices of some pastries that Shen An could afford, "White sugar The cake costs thirty renminbi a catty, the mung bean cake costs 25 renminbi, and the peach blossom cake only costs [-] renminbi.”

The main material of peach blossom cake is peach blossoms. There are unowned peach trees all over the mountains and plains in Qinghe County. When the peach blossoms bloomed this year, Jixiang Dim Sum Square sent many people to pick them. The price of the cake is very cheap, and many people are willing to buy one or two catties to try it out.

One catty of cakes is almost the price of two grass carp, Shen An thought for a while and found it acceptable, then turned to Xiaoer and said, "Give me two catties of peach blossom cakes and pack them separately."

"Okay." Xiao Er quickly took out two pieces of yellowed oil paper to wrap cakes for Shen An.

It was already evening when Shen An returned to Anning Village, and wisps of cooking smoke rose straight from the roofs of every household to the sky.After discovering that his own home was among them, Shen An hurriedly said goodbye to Sun Hu and ran home.

"Mother, before I left, didn't I tell you to wait until I come back to cook?" Shen An said angrily when he just got outside the door, cooking is smoky and will aggravate his condition.

"An'er, you're back. Mother listened to you. She didn't cook. Your grandma cooked the food." Mother Shen said.

"Brother An is back. I'll come and see your mother, and I'll make you some rice. How about you going to the county town to sell fish today?" Lin asked with concern.

"It's okay, the price given by the shopkeeper of the fish shop is very fair. Brother Huzi and I split the bill four or six for the fish sale, and he is six and four. But Brother Huzi refuses to accept the bastard's money no matter what .”

"Huzi is benevolent and righteous." Mrs. Lin praised, and then turned to tell Shen An earnestly, "Brother An, Huzi kindly taught you how to fish. Don't worry too much about money, so as not to embarrass Huzi. Heart."

Shen An knew that Lin was doing his best, so she nodded.Sun Hu insisted on splitting the bill with her fifty-fifty, and she proposed to split the four-six.

She learned techniques from Sun Hu. Although she worked hard, the boats and fishing nets belonged to Sun Hu. It was already benevolent and righteous for Sun Hu to give her a share.

"Grandma, I bought some pastries from the county seat, and you will bring a pack back when you come home later."

"No need, if you have good things, you mother and daughter should eat more to nourish your body. Don't worry about me. Look at you and your mother are thin. Grandma can't help you, so you should treat yourself better. No matter how unfilial your uncle and aunt are, It won't shorten my stutter." Lin said.

"You take it, grandma. This is the first time I have earned so much money. I bought too much when I was happy. In such a hot day, the pastry can't stand it. Take it back and share it with uncle and the others. Right. This is the peach blossom cake newly launched by Jixiang Dim Sum, made of peach blossoms, and it’s not expensive at all."

"Mother, this is Brother An's kindness." Shen's mother also persuaded from the side.

"I'm here to help you, how can I keep taking your things." Lin said so, but took the peach cake from Shen An with a smile on his face.

"An'er, your grandma is suffering too." Mother Shen said after Mrs. Lin left.

"Mother, I know." Shen An said, "I will remember grandma's kindness."

She insisted on giving Lin's cakes because she would not suffer from her aunt's troubles when Lin returned home.

"Mom, fishing is about to be banned these days. I want to go up the mountain to have a look in these two days."

"An'er, you can't. There are miasma and wild beasts in the mountains and forests. If there is no special person to take them in, it will be difficult to get out alive. The Da Zhuang family was shot by a wild boar and died. If it is true If you are short of money, mother still has a silver hairpin here, which was given to me by your father when we first got married, and you can melt it away, we can always survive these three months." Lin advised in panic.

"Mother, don't worry, you can save the hairpin that father gave you and think about it. I don't want to go deep into the mountains, I just want to dig some wild vegetables and pick some mushrooms to subsidize the family before I find a income."

The lady of the Shen family was still worried, "Then you must never go into the mountains."

"Mother, I still want to be filial to you, and I won't make fun of my own life." Shen An promised that if she was the only one, she would do anything.But she still has a mother. If something happens to her, what should her mother do?

Back then when Shen Wen was ill in bed, most of the Shen family's savings were spent. In order to treat Shen Wen's illness, Shen's mother sold only [-] mu of the [-] mu of fertile land in the family.

Over the years, Shen's mother has been raising Shen An by collecting rent.

When Shen An was seven years old, he entered the ethnology school in the village to study, and the husband said that next year he could try the children's test.

But when Shen's mother gave birth to Shen An, she had to deal with Shen Wen's funeral when she was confinement, and had to deal with the second uncle's family who came to rob the family property.

At the beginning of this year, he had a sudden illness and was in a coma for more than ten days.

In order to save Shen's mother, Shen An sold the remaining [-] acres of land in the family.The man was rescued, but Shen's mother suffered from asthma.It can't be eradicated yet, and can only be warmed with medicine slowly.

The burden of supporting the family also fell on Shen An's shoulders.

After Shen's mother's health improved, Shen An begged Sun Hu to take him fishing.

Although he earned a lot of money this time, Shen An always felt uneasy because there was no income in the family.

Early the next morning, Shen An went to the outskirts of Dayan Mountain.

"Brother An, why did you dig up a bunch of weeds?" The younger sister of the Sun family, who was about to go home after digging up the wild vegetables, asked when she saw Shen An digging a basket of weeds.

Shen An's cheeks were slightly red, and his dark face became even darker.

She has been studying for the past few years. Her mother has never let her touch the field work, and she doesn't know how to distinguish weeds from wild vegetables.Thinking of how she swore to Shen's mother that she would come to dig weeds, Shen An felt a little ashamed.

In the past few years, she really cared too little for her mother, which made her mother so troublesome.

Shen An went over shyly and asked Sun Xiaomei for advice.

"In fact, weeds and vegetables are very easy to divide. You can see that weeds grow differently here and here, and the color shades are different." Sun Xiaomei compared the vegetables she picked with Shen An's weeds, and patiently helped him one by one. explain.

"If you really can't tell the difference, just tear a small piece from here and put it in your mouth to taste it. If it tastes bitter, spicy or other weird, it's grass." Sun Xiaomei pointed to the most delicate part of wild vegetables Show Shen An.

"Thank you so much, little sister." After understanding all this, Shen An sincerely thanked Sun Xiaomei.

"You're welcome." Sun Xiaomei blushed and ran away. Apart from her elder brother Sun Hu, Sun Xiaomei had never been in contact with other men. Suddenly, she was thanked by a tall man, and her face became hot.

"It's unreasonable, he dared to come out of the wall!" When the little goblin sent out came to report, Zhen Luo smashed the stone table in the cave with her fist.

Pearl & Red Carp: ....

Red apricot cheating is a description of a woman!Shen An is a man.

"Why is it so troublesome, I'll just snatch him back and let him be our Bishuihe's door-to-door son-in-law!" Zhen Luo said proudly, "I heard that Grandma Shan Huan was snatched back into the cave by Prime Minister Gui."

Pearl hurriedly stepped forward and covered Zhen Luo's mouth, "Ah Luo, don't say this anymore, you will offend Prime Minister Gui and Granny Hu Huan and see how you mess around in the river in the future!"

"Stupid girl, if you still want to rob people, you will be kicked out of the river if you hide mortals in the river!" Red Carp pointed at Zhen Luo and said.

The words of the two sisters, like two knives, made Zhen Luo immediately wilt, without any arrogance left.

Even if she is going to get married, Bishuihe is her home, where she lives and lives. If she is kicked out of the house because of a man, Zhen Luo thinks it's better to forget it.

With a mournful face, she begged her two sisters, "Then let's quickly rehearse the story of the hero saving the beauty, and go to Shen An tomorrow, so that he won't be taken away by that little goblin."
