Allure of a Country Maiden

On winter nights, it gets dark early, even the lights in every household in Xicun are turned off, and snowflakes begin to fall in the sky. This is the first snow of the year!

A carriage got off the official road and drove into Lianxi Village.

Mrs. Liu opened the curtain and took a look outside. In the darkness, she could see long courtyard walls and tall buildings.

"This house has been built?!" Ms. Liu sighed. Before going out, the courtyard wall had not been repaired.

Yun'er also took a look outside. It was such a grand house, even grander than the houses in the city. She didn't know whose house it belonged to.

After a while, the carriage stopped. Shen Chengyao opened the curtain and stretched out his hands, "Yun'er, we're home. Dad will take you out of the car."

After Shen Chengyao carried Yun'er out of the car, he turned around to pick up Fang Wenri.

"Uncle Shen, I can jump out of the carriage by myself!" Fang Wenri felt that he was so big that he was embarrassed to be hugged.

Shen Chengyao didn't force it. It's a good thing for a boy to be more active. After he jumped off the carriage, he helped Mrs. Liu get out of the carriage and rewarded the coachman with ten taels of silver. He had worked hard on this journey and the coachman was very happy. gone.

The three brothers and sisters who were preparing dinner in the kitchen heard the noise and came out, "Dad, Mom, you are back!"

"Father, mother"

"Father, mother"

Jing Hao ran into Shen Chengyao's arms first, and Shen Chengyao picked him up, "Did you listen to your brothers and sisters when your parents were not at home?"

"Of course."

Xiaoer glanced at the little girl held by Ms. Liu, who was very similar to the figure in her mind. She stepped forward and said, "Yun'er, I am sister Xiaoer, do you remember?"

In the original owner's memory, this sister was always Xiao'er, and he called her Xiao'er.

Jingrui also stepped forward, "Yun'er, I'm the eldest brother. I used to go up the mountain to pick wild fruits for you to eat, remember?"

Jing Hao struggled to get off the ground when he saw it, "Sister Yun'er, I am Hao'er!"

Yun'er actually couldn't remember what these brothers and sisters looked like, but now that she saw them, they felt familiar again. It’s just that I haven’t seen each other for so many years, so I feel a little timid and a little unfamiliar. And the reason why she doesn't feel unfamiliar with Shen Chengyao and Liu is because she dares not forget them every day and miss them every night.

Mrs. Liu saw this and said, "Let's go inside and talk. It's snowing now!"

After the family entered the house, Shen Chengyao took Fang Wenri and said to the three brothers and sisters, "This is my brother Fang Wenri who grew up with Yun'er. He is eight years old this year. We will be a family from now on. You brothers and sisters must love each other. Brother Does your brother Gong know?"

"Ri'er, I'm Jingrui. I'm one year older than you. I call my brother Hao'er. Can I call you Ri'er? You can call me big brother like them." Jingrui, as the eldest brother, was the first to express friendship.

Fang Wenri nodded, "Brother, Yun'er calls me Brother Ri, you can also call me that."

Xiaoer also stepped forward to say hello. Although she did not respond when Sister-in-law Li asked before, it was only for Sister-in-law Li. Since Shen Chengyao took him home, there must be a reason why he must be taken home, and Brother Ri looked so good. , Well, he is very handsome, and he is very eye-catching, "Brother Ri, I'm Xiaoer. I'm going to make dinner now. Let's have something delicious tonight, so as to cleanse the dust for you!"

Jing Hao also ran to Fang Wenri: "Brother Ri, I'm Jing Hao! The hot water has been boiled in the pot. You can wash up first, then eat, and then go to bed after eating! Tonight you and Can I sleep with you?"

Fang Wenri felt the kindness of his brothers and sisters, and his anxiety became much less, and he nodded: "Okay!"

Shen Chengyao wanted to take Yun'er and Ri Ge'er to the upper room, but Mr. Shen and Mr. Shen Zhuang had dinner early. When they got home, they had already gone to bed. The lights in the upper room were all out, so they could only wait until tomorrow. It's early in the morning.

Xiaoer has taken out a lot of food during this period. Tonight she decided to make soy sauce chicken, spicy shrimp, boiled beef, braised mutton, pickled fish, as well as rapeseed in soup, cucumber fried meat slices, and another Carrot, corn and bone soup, and a pot of white rice.

Brother Ri and Yun'er couldn't help but swallow when they saw the delicious and delicious dishes on the table. Even Shen Chengyao and Mrs. Liu felt very hungry after seeing them. They were used to eating food at home. This time they went out. I always feel that the meat buns outside are not as delicious as the multigrain steamed buns at home!

Although Ri Ge'er and Yun'er wanted to eat it, they didn't dare to pick up the food!

They just immersed themselves in eating and lived under someone else's roof for too long. The two of them had long been accustomed to just eating from their own bowls.

Mrs. Liu and Shen Chengyao kept picking up food for the two of them, and the couple had long known that they didn't dare to eat. The brothers and sisters also found that the two did not dare to pick up food, so they all took the initiative to pick up food for them.

"Brother Ri, Yun'er's beef is a bit spicy, but very fragrant. I want to eat it after I finish it. I wish I could eat it every time!" Jing Hao gave them a chopstick of boiled beef each.

"This fish is also very tender, but you have to be careful with the fish bones!" Jingrui also gave them a piece of fish fillet.

Xiaoer gave them both chicken legs.

Fang Wenri was a little panicked. The chicken only had two drumsticks. How could he give it to him? Jing Hao was younger than him. "I can't finish the bowl. I don't like chicken drumsticks. Give it to Hao'er!"

"Brother Ri, go ahead and eat it. I'm tired of it!" Jing Hao shook his head. He had his favorite boiled beef tonight. He didn't want to eat chicken legs, which are often available. Both his sister and brother let him have their share of the chicken drumsticks at home.

Fang Wenri didn't believe it when he heard this. How could anyone get tired of chicken legs in this world? Looking at this house, the family's family background was average. They probably wanted to give it to him. He was very moved.

"Dad, Mom actually doesn't need so many vegetables. I can just eat porridge." Yun'er felt a little uneasy. With so much meat, how much money will it cost? What will happen if the money is spent? She doesn't want to be sold anymore. I don’t want my other brothers and sisters in the family to be sold. If there is no money in the family, Brother Ri may be driven away first! What will Brother Ri do? She is really worried!

"Normally we don't have so many dishes. This is what your sister made specially to welcome you home."

"Mom, do you have money at home now?" Yun'er felt uneasy and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I have money, so feel free to eat. If you want to eat porridge, you can eat it. If you don't want to, don't eat it!" Mrs. Liu thought that Yun'er was worried that she would not finish the meal. Yun'er had never had a meal at home before, and she would never eat it again. Even if she didn't eat it herself, she would make sure that she was full!

"Why is there rapeseed at this time?" Shen Chengyao ate the most rapeseed tonight.

"I bought it in the county, and the man said he grew it in his greenhouse. Dad, Mom, let's build a greenhouse to grow vegetables in the future! I know how to build a greenhouse!" Xiaoer said what she had thought of for a long time. , just in time, she also wants to build a greenhouse and greenhouse in her new house!

"Okay, it's a good thing to have vegetables to eat in winter from now on!" Shen Chengyao agreed immediately. He felt that it would be quite uncomfortable to have no green leafy vegetables in winter.

Yun'er and Ri Ge'er had the most delicious meal since they were born. They both thought that this was the most delicious meal in their lives. They never thought that this was just the beginning. In the future, they would become more and more particular about food every year. It gets more sophisticated every year.

After dinner, Mrs. Liu asked her brothers and sisters to freshen up and go back to their rooms to sleep. Although Xiao'er didn't like sleeping with others, the conditions at home were like this, so she took the initiative to let Yun'er sleep in her room.

"I want to sleep with my parents." Yun'er glanced at Xiao'er, worried that she would be unhappy, but she really wanted to spend more time with her parents.

Xiao'er saw her uneasiness and took the initiative to comfort her: "Yun'er has been away from her parents for so many years, and now she definitely wants to spend more time with them. How about she come over when Yun'er wants to sleep with her sister?"

After hearing this, Yun'er smiled happily at Xiao'er and said, "Thank you, sister Xiao'er."

Mrs. Liu looked at the two sisters and smiled. She took out a piece of red satin and a ruler from the cabinet, and waved to Yun'er: "Yun'er, come here, let mother measure your size, and mother will make you a piece." clothes!"

Yun'er saw Mrs. Liu taking out a piece of new cloth and shook her head quickly, "Mom, didn't you just buy me two sets of clothes?" I have enough clothes, no more. "

"This is made for you to wear in the New Year. Your sister, brother and younger brother all have them! I will also make a set for Brother Ri tomorrow so that you can all wear new clothes in the New Year!"

How much money does it cost to make so many clothes? It won’t use up all the money at home, right?

"Mom, do you still have money at home?"

"Yes, Yun'er wants to use the money?" Ms. Liu felt strange. This was the second time Yun'er asked if there was any money at home tonight.

Yun'er felt relieved after hearing this. She shook her head, "I'm just worried that my family will have no money again."

Xiao'er felt that the money at home was Yun'er's worry, "Yun'er, what would happen if there was no money at home?"

Yun'er glanced at Xiao'er and lowered her head, "If the family has no money, will they give me to others to raise or drive Brother Ri away?"

Shen Chengyao and Liu were shocked when they heard this. How could Yun'er say such a thing! Why would a family without money give her to someone else to raise?

Shen Chengyao came to Yun'er and held Yun'er on his lap, "Yun'er, why do you think that if the family has no money, they will give you to others to raise?"
