The pastoral life of the reborn farmer

Chapter 20

When he got what he wanted, Shen Ling knew the principle of accepting it when he saw it, so he cupped his hands and looked like a brother and brother, and said, "Then it will be a drag on the third brother, but my health is really bad, the third brother still You have to forgive me."

"Naturally, Ergoth dragged his sick body to prove to me that it was good for me, I understand, then I would naturally be good to my second brother, we are brothers." Shen San said gently, a The smile on his face makes people feel like a spring breeze, with a bit of mature indifference that does not belong to a teenager. Shen Ling felt a little weird, and always felt that there was something in Shen San's words. He would rather face the indifferent and uncaring Shen San who only expressed his concern verbally when he wrote the book, and he doesn't really want to meet the current one who seems to be more intimate. , but I always feel that there is something strange about Shen San.

However, Shen Ling pretended not to understand, and showed a smile, "Then I'm welcome. In the future, when my brother's business is done, he might have to rely on his third brother to take care of him!"

"Second brother, you're welcome." Shen San His voice was still gentle, and it became more and more intimate, but Shen Ling felt that he seemed to hear a different emotion, but he didn't care, he just pretended not to understand.

After Shen Ling finished what he wanted to say, and the promise he wanted had arrived, finally no one interrupted Li Zheng's words, allowing Li Zheng to dissolve the crowd smoothly.

The Shen family did not turn around and leave, but walked towards the ox cart. Shen Zhibo's face was extremely bad. He didn't know whether it was because he was interrupted by Shen San and Shen Ling ignored him, or because of other reasons.

Shen Ling sat under the quilt, looked at the person with a cold smile, and when she saw Shen Zhibo approaching, she bowed her head slightly, "Father, mother."

"You still know that this is your father and mother!" Shen Zhibo's tone was cold, but he didn't say Dare to speak loudly, he can only scold in a low voice, "I asked you to come back a few days ago, why didn't you come when I was looking for you?" If Shen Ling went there at that time, he could order Shen Ling not to allow it as a father. If he sells the Spring Festival couplets again, how can it be so big that everyone knows about it, so he can only explain it in a big way, and he can't pretend to be ignorant and hide it.

Shen Ling raised his head, it turned out that this was the reason why he was sent home a few days ago. He thought it was New Year's Eve. Even if there was no family affection, Shen's father and Shen's mother would call him back and arrange a few sentences, worried that he would not understand the Chinese New Year. etiquette rules! But it turned out to be for the Spring Festival couplet, but luckily he didn't go.

"I was too busy during that time." Shen Ling said casually.

"You can't take time to go home when your father is busy looking for you?" Mother Shen couldn't help but said, his precious heart was shivering on the stone steps. At that time, she was full of fire. If she could, she would like to be in Shen. When Eryi was born, he was thrown into a urinal and drowned. The provincial one was as stupid as a pig at home. He became shrewd after the family was separated. What serious illness did he have, and he spent so much money, and he kept giving it to the third child after the separation. Bring trouble and block her desire to be an old lady of the official family.

Shen Ling didn't answer, just looked at Shen Zhibo, and occasionally glanced at the other Shen family members. The eldest of the Shen family seemed to be big and three rough. The people who came out of the family were more like ordinary peasant families. There was a boy standing next to him. According to his age, he should be the eldest son of Shen Dalang. There was a charming little girl with a double bun, who looked like a arrogant girl, probably his youngest sister Shen Mei.

"What about you? Why didn't you hear it?" Mother Shen said dissatisfied, and the volume couldn't help but rise.

Shen Ling smiled and looked at Shen San, "Third brother, take your parents back! It's not good for your reputation to quarrel here."

Shen San glanced at Shen's father and mother, and said, "Father and mother, Let's go back! Second brother is not in good health, let him go back to rest early!"

Shen's father and mother have always respected Shen's third's opinion. Seeing him speak, it is not good to say anything more. Shen Ling finally sends Shen away. The family smiled and patted the back of Han Shi's hand, "It's okay, let's go back!"

The tears in Han Shi's eyes couldn't fall, but he resisted getting into the bullock cart and took Shen Ling home. No one was watching the excitement at the door of the house, so Shen Ling also climbed out of the car and put the quilt on his own. After receiving the house, he asked Han Shi to return the ox cart. As for the quilt on the ox cart, Shen Ling put it into the house, he would not let Han Shi return the quilt, and sent it to the door alone to be scolded. If the Shen family wants to get it by himself, he will not be greedy for ink.

When Han Shi came back, Shen Ling had already cooked the rice, the oily fried meat slices were served with golden tortillas, and a pot of vegetable and egg soup. As soon as Han Shi stepped into the threshold, before Shen Ling could speak, tears fell, and Shen Ling panicked instantly, "What's wrong? Who bullied you outside?" Could it be that he met the dog Shen he beat up last time? ? So bullied? !

Han Shi hurriedly shook his head, "No, I just thought they were bullying you just now, Li Zheng, my parents, and everyone else."

Shen Ling rubbed Han Shi's head in a funny way, "What kind of bullying? Who bullied me?"

"They asked you to go to the ancestral hall, and they asked you to interrogate you. They didn't let us sell the Spring Festival couplets again. They wouldn't let you go even if you were sick." The more Han Shi thought about it, the more aggrieved it became. They don't like to talk, so they can be bullied to death this time.

Shen Ling sighed, his eyes warmed a bit, considering his previous life, he had actually been for a long time, so long that he had forgotten the feeling of being cared for. Even if this kind of concern is very clumsy, it is basically only reflected in clothing, food, housing, transportation and tears, and the other party is not doing well, and every time he cries, he has to coax him, but Shen Ling still feels very special, in a cruel environment. Shen Ling, who has lived for so long, is actually like a bug chasing light, not to mention Han Shi's light, which is warm and translucent and does not hurt anyone.

Shen Ling took Han Shi's hand, pulled him onto his lap and sat down, saying, "First of all, I'm not sick, how many times have I told you, I'm just too tired, just take a rest, you If you don't believe me, if you treat me like a patient, I don't have any problems at all."

Han Shi lowered his head a little shyly, he only cared about Shen Ling! Even if you're not sick, it's good to get some rest.

"Secondly, how can it be said to be bullying? They didn't do anything to me! Li Zheng was standing beside my bed and gave me a smile, wanting me to go out and explain, and none of the elders in front of the ancestral hall came forward to accuse me, even if It's the Shen family, except for my father, no one has said anything unpleasant! Besides, what can I do even if it sounds unpleasant? I won't lose a piece of meat, but Shen San has already said it, and we don't care about doing business in the future. His business, this is a good thing! In the future, no one will come to trouble me because of this, and you don't want to do this kind of thing again?"

"But..."

"Be good!" Shen Ling thought What, his eyes became colder, "I thought my father's family and I were already well watered, so I just need to send some gifts during the festivals, he doesn't care about me, and I don't care about him either. But I didn't expect that Shen San and I would be so conflicted. With him, I was limited in what I did, and with me, he wouldn't be much better. But don't worry, I won't let myself suffer when I meet him. Yes." At least this time, no matter how he looked at it, he had won, and only others would suffer.

Shen Ling suddenly thought of what Shen San had just said, saying 'the second brother is good to him, he is also good to the second brother', thinking this way, there is a sense of threat in it. Shen Ling is a little funny, a young boy who has never suffered any losses since he was a child, and has never played any tricks and tricks. , However, he is not an official in the end, what can he do for him. 'How funny.

Even if Shen Ling wanted to understand the threat in Shen San's words, he didn't care. If he wanted him to care a little, at least he had to wait until Shen San's examination was done. Only when the magistrates barely managed to get into the eyes of those officials and rich people would they be able to do it. If you have the right to speak, you are qualified to fight with him. Otherwise, he is just a poor boy. In the best case, he will be a scholar in the exam next year, but he is only a poor scholar, and he needs to maintain his reputation. , while studying hard in the cold window, 'comfortable with the poor and lowly' will do.

On the other side, in the Shen family's old house, Shen San walked back to the room with a cold expression holding the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Shen Zhibo wanted to follow, but was stopped by Shen San's warm voice, saying that he wanted to stay by himself for a while. Shen Zhibo didn't force it and followed his old wife back. their own room.

Mother Shen was already sitting cross-legged on the bed, and her dark gray jacket looked a little bloated. Seeing Shen Zhibo coming in, she looked up before moving her body, letting out half of the bed, and sitting on one side.

Shen Zhibo's face was not good, and Shen's mother was not happy. For a while, the two of them looked at each other silently, and the room was quiet.

Mother Shen was anxious about Shen San's body. She didn't know if she had been frozen after kneeling for so long, and how good it was when it was frozen during the exam, which affected her answer. It's better to kill a chicken, and make up for it. And Shen Zhibo was still thinking about Shen Ling's business. In any case, Shen Er's business will definitely have an impact on San'er. In the future, if San'er goes out to meet friends, someone casually mentions that the second son of the Shen family sells words for a living, or that he is a businessman in business. San'er is embarrassed, and some people are jealous of

San'er and ridiculed maliciously... The more Shen Zhibo thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, as if he was digging his heart out, and he was even more angry at Shen Ling.
