Allure of a Country Maiden

Chapter 117 Difficulties in transitioning from luxury to frugality

Xiaoer pushed back the grievance in her stomach and finally felt relieved.

Mr. Shen knew what he wanted to know, and waved his hand to let them go back. When the third son's family came over, they were always noisy, out of sight and out of mind, "You guys go back and go to bed early. The third son will open the city gate tomorrow." Just send some food to your eldest and second brothers, and bring two quilts with you. It’s cold here, so don’t freeze in the prison!”

"I will go there early tomorrow morning." Shen Chengyao agreed.

"Then let's go back first. Tomorrow morning, aunt and second aunt, remember to prepare food and quilts early. My father will come to get them before departure." As soon as the city gate opens, go and deliver food! Fortunately he could speak out! How early should you get up and go! When her family went to the county for the market, the city gates were open for a long time!

"It's just a little thing. Third brother and sister, just prepare it!" Li yawned and said casually.

"It's just this little thing, then the second sister-in-law can also help the uncle prepare it!"

"How can that be done? Why should I do uncle's work?" Li said what was in her heart without thinking.

Xiaoer smiled and said, "Then why should my mother take care of the matters between the uncle and the second uncle?"

After saying that, she said to Shen Chengyao: "Dad, I'm sleepy."

After hearing this, Shen Chengyao said goodbye to Mr. Shen and Mr. Shen Zhuang, and then went home with his wife and children.

Back in the main room, Mrs. Liu took out one of the pills Xiaoer gave her and handed it to Shen Chengyao, "I am so obsessed with it! As soon as the city gate opens, I will go to deliver food and quilts! That's it!" How early to go out! I don’t want to think about how they avoided us like snakes and scorpions when we were locked in! Forget it, I asked you to come over to help, why did your head get broken!"

"They thought I was the one who put the eldest and second brothers in jail!"

"What! Do you really think that people all over the world are like them? You can't go out until dawn tomorrow, otherwise you won't come back to this house!" Ms. Liu was extremely angry.

"Okay, I understand. Don't be angry!" Shen Chengyao hurriedly agreed.

"I am not kidding!"

"I will definitely go out when the sun comes out." Shen Chengyao promised quickly, "This wound really hurts!" Shen Chengyao deliberately touched the wound on his head with his hand.

"Does it still hurt after taking the medicine? Let me see..." Mrs. Liu didn't care about being angry anymore, and Shen Chengyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, Shen Chengyao came to the old house. Neither Lan nor Li had prepared anything to bring them. Shen Zhuang was so angry that he cursed!

In the next few days, Shen Chengyao and Shen Chengzu were urged by Mr. Shen to deliver food and clothes to them every day. Those who didn't know it thought they were doing something glorious!

Later, both Liu and Lu stopped them and refused to let them go, so they gave up! At home, there is a lot of work waiting for the two of them in the shop. If they don't do business, they will be ordered around. Anyone who sees it will be angry!

The two were imprisoned for more than ten days and released after being fined one hundred taels of silver, but this was enough for them to drink a pot!

These two people were unlucky enough. It was their first time doing this. In order to test the depth of the water in this industry, they only took 50 kilograms of salt and tea. They were caught before they could sell it!

Fortunately, I only took 50 kilograms. This case of illegal salt sales was very involved. A big family in the imperial capital collapsed, and the entire family was beheaded, exiled, sold, and other governments were all involved. There are also some forces in the county who want everyone's homes to be confiscated, causing a sensation in the entire Minze Dynasty!

Shen Chengguang and his two men were lucky. At least they only had to pay a small fine, and no harm was done to their family and descendants!

Of course, this is all for later.

When school starts, the three brothers all say they want to stay overnight in the school. Children sometimes long for the days when they can be free from the control of their parents. It feels like they can finally stand up as the masters of the family!

The school does not have strict requirements for accommodation, and students are free to choose. Anyway, there are dormitories in the school, including one-person dormitories, two-person dormitories, and four-person dormitories. Students can choose freely, but Money must be paid.

Because the county is still quite far from home, and the school requires students to read early every day at the beginning of the morning, and classes start at 3:00, the master arrived at the classroom at 3:00.

Shen Chengyao felt that they wasted a lot of time going back and forth every day, so he agreed.

They chose a dormitory with four people to a room, but one roommate did not stay in the school at night and only took a break at noon.

On the first day, the three brothers ate in the cafeteria of the school. The food tasted average, but they still finished it happily with relish. On the second day, I barely finished all the food. On the third day, I took the initiative to take half of the food away, but I ate it all with great reluctance. On the fourth day, they went back to the lumber shop to eat the food cooked by their aunt. They were no longer hungry. Then they ate for two more days. The three of them felt that the food was really unpalatable. How could the food at home be so delicious? I can’t stop eating!

"Brother, Brother Ri, I'm so hungry!" Lying on the bed in the dormitory at night, Jing Hao missed his sister's boiled beef, braised pork ribs, pickled fish...

"I'm so hungry too." Jingrui felt a little ashamed. Before the separation, school meals were his biggest dream, but now he dislikes them and can't even eat them.

"I'm so hungry too." Fang Wenri felt that he had been too comfortable recently and even had the habit of being picky. In the past, he could just eat if he had something to eat, but now he actually dislikes the fact that the food doesn't taste good!

"Brother, Brother Ri, why don't we tell our parents when Mu Xiu goes back that we won't be living in the school anymore? How about we go home and have dinner!"

The two of them nodded. They were so hungry that they almost didn't have the energy to write.

Mu Xiu and the three of them returned home the day before yesterday, and they all devoured their meals! Liu and others were stunned to see it!

"Why are you eating so anxiously? You may choke!" Ms. Liu patted the back of Jing Hao who was sitting next to her.

"I miss the food cooked by my mother and sister so much. The food outside is so terrible that I almost starve to death!"

"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about? Don't say that word!" Ms. Liu sighed a few times after hearing this.

"You have become more capable, and now you know how to be picky about what you eat! In the past, when you had one steamed bun for every meal, who said it would be good if you can eat enough?" Shen Chengyao was worried that his son would become arrogant and extravagant.

"Dad, I was wrong! No matter how hard it tastes in the future, I will still be full!" Jing Hao also felt that something was wrong with him. He couldn't even eat anything he really wanted to eat before! The biggest hope is to be full. No matter what you eat, you should cherish it now. It is really easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Xiaoer disagrees. Food cannot be wasted, but choosing more delicious food to eat is just like choosing better things to do. This is a better attitude towards life!

"How about you stop staying in the school at night, eat in the shop at noon, and then go home in the evening."

"It's the time when you are growing up. How can you not eat well? Then go home at night. It's better not to come back when it's snowing and raining heavily. The house is suddenly missing a few of you, and my mother feels too deserted. , not used to it.”

Although Shen Chengyao felt that it was wrong to indulge his children in this way, the three of them had indeed lost weight. Forget it, how could they have the strength to read and write without eating enough?

Xiaoer decided to send some rice, noodles and vegetables to the lumber shop regularly so that the three of them could eat good food! If you are used to eating spiritual things from space, how can you eat other things?
