Chapter 11 Shen Mingzhu's "Awakening"
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Startled by the old lady Shen's loud crying, old man Shen, who had a rare chance to rest at home today, quickly got up from the bed to see what was going on. What happened to his daughter? What happened?
When I came out, I saw the old woman hugging her daughter and crying, and the old woman's daughter patting her to comfort her. I was so shocked that I didn't know what to do.
The sisters-in-law were busy with their work while paying attention to the developments here. When they saw the stunned expression on Old Man Shen's face, they couldn't help but laugh secretly. Haha, as expected, the father-in-law didn't believe that Mingzhu would be diligent and filial.
Shen Mingzhu looked a little embarrassed as she hugged her mother for comfort. Seeing more and more people coming out, even her nephews and nieces came over to make a noise, but Old Lady Shen was still crying there. She couldn't help feeling annoyed.
Then there was another round of laughter: You, you usually don't pay enough attention to taking care of your parents, so now just a little favor has moved your mother to tears, Shen Mingzhu, you really should reflect on yourself.
Feeling guilty, looking at the old woman in front of him crying with tears and snot, his eyes softened a little.
He hugged his mother and comforted her for a while. Seeing that Old Mrs. Shen could not stop crying, he could not help but look at his sisters-in-law for help.
"Mom, please stop crying! If you keep crying, your little sister will crawl into the ground!" The third son's wife, Zhao, looked at the scene in front of her and found it more and more humorous. Now, seeing her usually arrogant sister-in-law looking at her for help, she couldn't help but teasing her.
The second son's wife, Xu, quickly pulled the third brother's wife and said with a smile, "Yes, mother, please stop crying. Look, my clothes are almost wet from your crying. The weather is a bit cold. What if I catch a cold? Besides, you have been crying for so long, what if you hurt your eyes? You look, I am almost scared by you!"
When Old Mrs. Shen heard this, she was frightened by her daughter. She quickly wiped away her tears, raised her head, and was immediately shocked by the tragic condition of her daughter.
I saw that there was a large wet spot on Shen Mingzhu's clothes on her chest, her collar was also soaked, and there were several obvious tear marks on her face.
Old Mrs. Shen felt a little embarrassed for a moment and quickly raised her sleeves to wipe it for her daughter.
"Mom, use this!" Old Lady Shen turned around and saw the eldest daughter-in-law put a basin of warm water on the table and handed her a hot towel. Her expression relaxed. As expected, when it comes to observing people's expressions, the eldest daughter-in-law is still the best.
When Shen Mingzhu saw Old Lady Shen take the towel and was about to wipe his face, he refused repeatedly, "No, no, Mom, I can do it myself!" After that, he put his hands in the basin to wash them.
It would be nice if there was a facial cleanser. Shen Mingzhu was cleaning herself carefully when she suddenly thought of this. Then she became a little confused. What is facial cleanser? Why do I want that thing?
Shen Mingzhu thought about it for a while but didn't figure it out, so she let it go. Because when she woke up today, she found that her mind was exceptionally clear, and then she began to reflect in a way that broke my heart.
Shen Mingzhu found that although she had lived here for more than ten years, she actually knew nothing.
I don’t know anything!
The words that kept appearing on the screen strongly expressed how speechless Shen Mingzhu was at that time!
How did he survive these ten years?
Embroidery? I’ve never learned it, and I can’t even sew simple clothes!
Cooking? I’ve never been to a kitchen, let alone a fire!
I seem to have read a few books in my memory, but when I tried this morning, I found that the handwriting was not even as good as a dog's crawling!
Even though I was living in a farm, I didn’t even know what the basic wild vegetables were!
Do not know at all!
Just outrageous!
It’s off the mark!
Shen Mingzhu reflected on herself for the whole morning, but she couldn't figure out how she had gotten through the past ten years. How could she be so confused, as if she had lost her mind?
"Mom, you should wipe your face too!" Shen Mingzhu turned around and saw that her mother's face was really ugly, so she couldn't help but persuade her softly.
"Okay, okay, hahaha, my daughter is still the most filial! You all should learn from her!" Old Mrs. Shen's face was old and wrinkled, but her smile was particularly eye-catching and dazzling.
Shen Mingzhu seemed to understand why she knew nothing even though she was a teenager. It was because she was spoiled and had nothing to fear!
"Mom and Dad, we're back! You don't know how powerful Old Four was today!"
The voice of the third brother Shen Minghua could be heard from a distance. It was obvious that the brothers who had gone to the mountain to collect firewood had returned. From the sound of their noisy voices, it was clear that something good was about to happen!
The people in the courtyard were delighted and turned their heads to look. As expected, they saw the Shen brothers walking in with high spirits. The backpacks on their backs looked quite heavy.
"Dad, Mom!" The brothers put down their backpacks and were the first to greet them.
"Did you catch any prey?" Old Man Shen tapped his pipe and asked in a calm manner.
"Well, we're luckier today." As the eldest brother, Shen Mingyuan answered his old father's words.
"It's not just good luck, the main reason is that the fourth brother is so powerful now! Dad, don't you know... Ouch... Why did you step on me, second brother?" When Shen Lao San said this, he became obviously excited and didn't care whether he was interrupting his eldest brother.
"Accidentally!" Shen Lao Er calmly retracted his foot and said perfunctorily. This idiot Lao Si was obviously hiding his incompetence at home, and he still wanted to talk! What if Lao Si was exposed if he continued to talk?
What if mother is concerned and often asks the fourth child to go into the mountains to hunt wild animals for Mingzhu to supplement her diet?
This third brother is so careless with his words that sooner or later something bad will happen. No, I have to give him some special training!
Shen Lao Er was thinking about all sorts of things in his mind, but his face was calm as water. He soon showed his signature silly smile and said to his old father, "Dad, don't worry, we are fine, and everything has come down safely!"
"Oh, by the way, the fourth child caught a female rabbit and a few baby rabbits in the mountains. I thought that you are not very old, and if I really let you stop working in the fields, you would probably feel uncomfortable. So I caught a few rabbits for you and mom to play with. Whether our family can become a big rabbit breeder in the future depends on you and mom!"
Shen Minghui was watching rabbits with a few children nearby. He smiled when he heard this. This second brother was also a talented person. He said "you and mother" several times. I don't know what the old man Shen meant by this.
Old man Shen indeed didn't hear it. He was just having fun at the moment. Looking at these baby rabbits, Old man Shen seemed to see his great career.
From now on, whether the Shen family can eat meat or not is up to Shen Wei!
Think about it, when I chat with my friends in the future, they are still talking about what to do if their children and grandchildren don’t give them food, but I am talking about how to make rabbit delicious…
Haha… cool! See who dares to look down on me!
"Bunny, little bunny"
"It's white and so cute!"
When Old Man Shen came to his senses, he saw his grandchildren teasing his beloved rabbit. His expression tensed up and he hurried forward and said, "Oh my, such a small rabbit can't stand being teased like this..."
