Chapter 310: One-Day Tour in Beijing



Chapter 310: One-Day Tour in Beijing

Shen Youyou smiled, picked up the ten taels of silver and threw them into the small bamboo basket at her waist.

The silver hit the bamboo basket, making a crisp sound.

Zhou Qian was shocked, and patted Shen Youyou's shoulder several times:

"Boy, good boy, your uncle will take care of this kid, but you must explain this matter to the elders at home in detail when you go back. It is not easy to do business with those who have backers."

Shen Youyou nodded and thanked Zhou Bo for his kindness.

In the following time, Shen Youyou even felt that more eyes lingered on her from time to time. When she looked over, the other party would immediately turn their heads and pretend to look elsewhere, which made her feel a little amused.

But she also knew that this matter was not over yet. After all, the person who came today was just a shopkeeper. Who knew what kind of monsters were standing behind the shopkeeper?

The journey home today was quite silent. Although Shen Youyou had given them all the advice they needed, the brothers and sisters who had never experienced this were still worried.

After all, in their minds, even if they refused to sell their sons, the rich and powerful would have plenty of ways to deal with them. They were just a bunch of small refugees, and they couldn't even figure out how to open the gates of the capital city, but they were already in trouble with the largest restaurant in the city.

Back home, Shen Youyou was fine. She was the type who could keep her composure. The boys were also fine. After all, at this age, they were fearless.

But Shen Daya, Shen Erya, Wang Taohua and Guo Daya, when they saw their family members, knew that they were all busy and did not want to cause trouble.

But when the feeling of grievance came up, his eyes were red, and he thought: "Why is our life so difficult? We have finally made some money from a small business, but others are still eyeing us."

Several old ladies from the Jiu clan who were busy had been looking at the road in the distance since early morning. When they saw their grandchildren coming back, they knew that they would have to earn a lot of money to buy water and bones.

It’s true, the braised pork offal prepared by the third daughter-in-law is really delicious. The people from Tangjia Village were so full of joy after eating it that they kept shouting how delicious it was.

Bone soup is also delicious, but there are too many bones and you can't use all of them to make soup. Most of them are made into marinated bones. There is not much meat on the bones and it is hard to chew, but there is nothing wrong with it.

But when the kids got home, their faces were filled with worry. Several granddaughters had tears in their eyes, and the old ladies felt a pang in their hearts.

"Did you suffer injustice in the city?"

"If anyone bullies you, tell me and I will fight them to the death."

It would be fine if I didn't persuade him, but when I saw my family and my backbone, I felt aggrieved. However, if someone persuaded and comforted me in a very gentle tone at this time, my eyes would not be red.

The four girls were surrounded together, one said a few words of comfort, another hugged and patted their backs. Old Mrs. Hua patted her eldest granddaughter, her second granddaughter, and was still thinking about her youngest granddaughter, because after all, her granddaughter still had her grandmother to comfort her.

As a result, although his little granddaughter looked unhappy, her eyes did not turn red at the critical moment, and she even tried to pull her second sister to stop her from crying.

"Okay, the youngest one is the one who can handle the most."

Seeing his sister crying, Shen Yuanbao ran to the west side of the river. Shen Luming stamped his feet and said, "Oh no, we have to find his father!"

He followed Yuanbao and ran straight to the west side of the river.

"Dad! Dad!"

He ran and shouted all the way, as if he was calling for his father's soul.

Shen Zhiqiu was shouting and tamping the ground. They had to build the house to a height higher than the foundation before it rained, fill it with soil and tamp it down, otherwise it would be difficult if water got into the foundation.

"Run slower, run slower, what are you doing?"

It was Old Man Shen who saw his two grandsons first.

"Master, the sisters are in trouble!"

Father Shen was confused: "What are you talking about?"

Shen Luming stroked her face with her little hand: "Sisters are back crying."

Shen Yuanbao followed up and added: "Maybe he was bullied. Our business is good. We can't cry just because we didn't make any money."

Shen Zhiqiu also came over at this time, and when he heard these words, he ran back. Normally, a girl would not cry, and if she cried, it must be something big, so the two little ones were unreliable and couldn't even learn to imitate.

When Shen Zhiqiu ran back, he saw several nieces surrounded by old ladies, talking to each other in a chaotic manner and he couldn't hear what they were saying.

Her daughter stood on the periphery with an embarrassed look on her face, staring at him in bewilderment.

After listening to Shen Youyou's brief account of the whole story, Shen Zhiqiu said, "Just do what you need to do. I'll go talk to him tomorrow after delivering the goods."

The next day, when it was still dark, Tangjia Village used six ox carts, all of which were borrowed from other families in the village.

Li Quan was driving a car with Shen Zhiqiu's family of four in it.

The other five carriages were loaded with jelly and steamed cakes.

Why is it a family of four? Originally, the plan was for the father and daughter to go alone, but Li Jingshu was worried and wanted to go with them. Shen Luming cried and wanted to go too.

When he slept in bed at night, he would hold his father's arm tightly, fearing that he would be abandoned without his father.

As soon as Shen Zhiqiu stood up and made a slight movement, the other person woke up and followed whatever he said.

On the ox cart, Shen Zhiqiu held the dazed Shen Luming in his arms: "Why do you have to follow me? Can you rest well on the cart? How can you grow up if you don't get enough sleep at such a young age?"

Shen Luming nodded his little head: "I woke up... Huhu..."

Li Jingshu looked at the father and son and shook her head: "Girl, are you hungry? We have water and dry food. Do you want to eat some?"

Shen Youyou was also sleepy and shook her head: "No, it's only a few hours now, I'm not hungry."

Shen Zhiqiu wrapped the small quilt around her son and said to her daughter, "Don't worry, when we get to the city, Dad will treat you to meat wontons."

When Shen Luming heard this, his eyelids were still drooping, so he stretched out his little hand to scratch his father's face: "I want to eat too."

"Eat, let's all eat."

Li Jingshu was still thinking to Shen Zhiqiu: "Let's not go to the city in vain. Take some time to buy some more cloth and make a couple of sets of clothes for you guys."

"I don't need it. I work all day and can't wear anything nice. Just let your mothers do it."

"Are you stupid? Who told you to wear them while working? If you need to go into the city for something, you'll have to change into something new. You took apart all your previous clothes on the way and made them into shoes. The remaining clothes are all patched up. You're a scholar after all."

Li Jingshu had thought it through. Old Shen had finally become a cultured person in his life. She had seen Old Shen wearing a long gown at the beginning. He looked handsome and extremely elegant. He couldn't keep wearing that kind of robe in an exceptional way.

There are also clothes for her daughter and son. Their previous clothes can no longer fit them because either the arms or the trouser legs are too short. The clothes they are wearing belong to one brother or another, and some of them are cut apart for the children by her.

The cloth before, the three pieces of silk, are not suitable for wearing now. I don’t have time to make the three pieces of fine cotton cloth. The most important thing is that the material is too good. I guess Mr. Shen would not be willing to wear them when he is working or his daughter is selling things on the stall.

When they returned to the city, they bought some ordinary cotton cloth and made two sets of clothes for each person to change into. Their family had money, and the small treasury was in her pocket.

I also have to make two sets of clothes for my parents-in-law. It doesn't make sense to let the younger ones wear good clothes and the older ones wear patched clothes.

She looked at Li Quan who was driving, and Dahu, Erhu, Dabao, Erzhuang and Sanzhuang behind him.

Uncle Li, and Dahu and Erhu also have to do it, they are her only family members from her mother's side.
