Chapter 26 Brother Stone
Standing in front of the door was a man in his twenties, medium-sized, slightly dark complexion, with correct facial features, and very energetic. A semi-new and not old clothes, clean and neat, holding a pheasant with a long tail in his hand. When the door opened, it was stuffed into Shen Zi'an's
"Brother Zi'an, I came back quite late last night. I didn't know that you had separated until this morning. Well, go and hit a pheasant. Even if you celebrate the joy of your housewarming, don't dislike that there are few things."
"Brother Stone, you're welcome. Please come in and sit down."
Shen Zi'an obviously had a good relationship with this man, and it was rude to pick up the pheasant and invited him in.
"Daughter-in-law, this is Brother Stone. He has been taking good care of me. Just call him Brother Stone."
Shen Zi'an said to Su Zhi that Su Zhi saluted slightly and called 'Brother Stone', which shocked the other party. The Shen family had already passed on the newly married daughter-in-law outside. He also sighed for Shen Zi'an. If he hadn't known that it was his idea that Shen Zi'an would not take the initiative If you have a bad disease and hide your daughter, you have a reason to divorce your wife. However, it seems that it makes sense for Shen Zi'an not to divorce his wife. Although this woman is sick, she looks good-teed and seems to be a good match for Shen Zi'an.
"Don't be polite. Although Zi'an and I are not brothers, we also grew up together. A few days ago, as soon as you got married, I had to travel far away. I just arrived at home late last night, and I didn't know you had moved out. But that's fine. In the future, we will live close to each other, and it will be more convenient. If you have anything to do, just contact me. You're welcome.
"Thank you, Brother Stone."
Su Zhi thought that although this stone brother was a country man, he looked bold and talkative, but it was not the feeling of polite, but real. Sure enough, it was Shen Zi'an's friend and brother, and he didn't know how he would react after his reputation as a broom star. .
"Brother Stone, your sister-in-law and I just moved here. Don't talk about chairs at home. Don't even have a chair. Just sit on this stone."
Shen Zi'an pointed to a few stones in the middle of the yard, which were already there. Su Zhi wanted to stay and said that he could sit down, but he didn't expect to use them now.
Brother Stone didn't care. He sat on the stone and talked to Shen Zi'an. Su Zhi went to hold a bowl of hot water in the pot, handed it over, and then turned back to the room. Her face was not well yet. Although she was covered, she still didn't want to be in front of more people.
After about half an hour, Shen Zi'an came in and said that Brother Stone had left, and then told Su Zhi the name of Brother Stone and the situation of his family.
Brother Stone's surname is Li, and his single name is a stone character. Country people will have a nickname, which is said to be easy to feed, so Li Shi's nickname is Stone. This stone is everywhere, and it must be easy to feed. He is the only one in his family. He lives not far from here, by the river.
"Brother Stone looks very old. Why are you alone? Where are his parents? Haven't you married yet? In your twenties, you should have married a long time ago, right?
Su Zhi asked, in this era, women who usually don't marry at the age of 18 are old girls, and men also marry before 20. This Li Shi must be in his twenties. How come there is only one in the family? This is the brother that Shen Zi'an valued. He will come and go often in the future. Of course, she has to ask clearly.
Shen Zi'an sighed slightly and said, "Brother Stone's life is not good, worse than me. I already remembered when my mother died. Brother Stone lost his mother in his life, because his father didn't like him. Later, one year after a disaster in the village, Uncle Li sold him. He didn't expect that he would come back. As a result, he came back, but he didn't have his share in the family. Finally, he settled on the east side of the river. He only came
Su Zhi nodded, thinking that this man was also a hard-teer, but he could understand why he was so good at talking. He was too bad outside. Even if he was the lowest-class man, he had been tempered.
"Did you tell Brother Stone about me? What does he think?
Shen Zi'an held Su Zhi's hand and said, "I told him that he didn't believe it, and he was also said to be the life of Ke's mother. He said that his life was bad enough and didn't care."
Su Zhi thought that no wonder the two became brothers, and even the idea was the same. In this way, it seems that they can have more contacts in the future. It is always good to make more people in this era, especially in this kind of trouble, making friends is even more valuable.
As the two talked, it was already noon, and his stomach was hungry. Shen Zi'an looked at Su Zhi's slender body and wanted to separate. It was time to mend his daughter-in-law. Originally, he wanted to fight some game in the afternoon, but Brother Stone sent a pheasant, so he quickly mend his daughter-in He went to boil water and began to clean up the chicken. He deburred the chicken very soon, but it was difficult to make it. There was no oil except salt or oil at home, so he could only roast or steam it. It was too oily, steamed too lightly, and only salt to improve the flavor. I don't know if my daughter-in-
When Su Zhi saw that Shen Zi'an asked her if she wanted to eat steamed or roasted food, she thought about it for a moment and said, "Zi'an, go to the river to pick a few lotus leaves for me. The bigger the better. Don't be too dry. I'll make delicious food for you when you come back."
As soon as Shen Zi'an heard that his daughter-in-law wanted to make delicious food for him, even if he was not too greedy, he was happy and went out as soon as he agreed.
Su Zhi turned around and went to the back of the room. In the morning, she found a few wild onions and a few clumps of dried fungus. After pouring them with Lingquan, she took them off, cut them into pieces and picked them into pieces. She also found that there was a pepper on the ground behind the yard. I don't know whether it The small peppers are all green with a little red. It is estimated that all the big ones have been picked away. These two are fish that are out of the net. She also picked it, thinking that with this little seasoning, I guess she can make a little taste.
Su Zhi waited for Shen Zi'an to come back, but she didn't see him come back. She was a little puzzled. She wanted to walk three times from here to the river. Why haven't she come back yet? Will there be anything wrong? It was by the river. Su Zhi was worried. She walked back and forth a few times and stood in front of the courtyard door and looked out. She didn't see Shen Zi'an's figure. She frowned. She closed the courtyard door and went out.
Walk along the path to the river. There are several families next to it, two or three of which are next to each other, and there are also single households standing there. It looks spacious.
At this time, every family was smoking and cooking. Some children were playing at the gate of the courtyard. When they saw Su Zhi, they looked at her curiously. Some adults saw Su Zhi and didn't come. They looked at her eyes with some vigilance. At a glance, they knew that the name of her broom star had spread. This was a I think it's good. At least no one will drive her out and scold her. She is not too pitiful, and she also has confidence in letting these villagers change their views on her. At least they close the door without seeing her. If they dare to look at her, it means that she is not too poisoned.
"Daughter-in-law, why did you come out?"
Shen Zi'an appeared in front of him. He ran to Su Zhi, holding a few big lotus leaves in his hand.
"You're not coming back for a long time. I'm worried about you, so I'll come out and have a look."
"I just met Uncle Liu on the west side of the river and twisted his foot when he came home from the field. I sent him home, so I went back late. It worries you. Let's go back."
Shen Zi'an saw that Su Zhi was worried that he would come out without fear that others would see her. He thought that this was his daughter-in-law. Finally, there was another person who would worry about him when he came home later. He took Su Zhi's hand and helped her away, just like holding a treasure. The two slowly walked together. It is very beautiful in this quiet countryside, and everyone who sees it is a little envious.
**** Thank you for the peace charm of Xin Qingxiao and Qingka. I'm sorry for coming back late. When I saw the update, I burst into tears. I will update a chapter this afternoon, which will be about 5:30.
