Chapter 139 Your request is too high
Every day after work, Old Man Shen would work overtime with his son and grandson to build a house for his daughter, and it was completed in ten days.
Shen Chunling moved into her own house. During her time at home with the company of her family, Shen Chunling gradually recovered from her pain.
Occasionally, someone would gossip about Shen Chunling's divorce, and when Old Lady Shen and the others heard it, they would start pulling her hair. After a while, no one gossiped about it anymore.
In the blink of an eye, it was autumn harvest time. Everyone was busy. Shen Shuyu didn't have to go to the fields, but she was not idle either. Shen Erzhu arranged for her to work in the threshing ground to dry peanuts and corn. The work was not tiring at all.
It was a bit exhausting to sit among the old ladies. In the threshing ground, except for Shen Shuyu, a young man, all the others were elderly ladies.
There was nothing to do, so the old ladies gathered together and pulled Shen Shuyu in. At first, Shen Shuyu listened to the old ladies gossiping about the team with great interest.
As she listened, she felt something was wrong. The ladies brought the topic to her.
"Shu Yu girl, you are not young anymore. Do you have a favorite boy? Do you want me to introduce you to someone?"
"Girl, my granddaughter already has two children by your age, you have to hurry up.
This good young man doesn't wait for anyone. If you don't hurry up, the good young man will be picked up by other girls, and then there will be only ugly ones left, and you will be in trouble. "
Shen Shuyu smiled slightly, "Auntie, you can introduce me to someone. I don't have high requirements. I just want someone who is over 1.85 meters tall, good-looking, has a decent job, is an only child, and whose parents are workers..."
Shen Shuyu talked about a lot of requests, and the ladies were silent.
If there were such a good guy, they would never let him go to outsiders.
"Shu Yu girl, your demands are too high." She will never get married like this.
Shen Shuyu looked at her watch. It was past eleven o'clock. She had to go back to make lunch. "Auntie, that's all I ask. Please keep an eye on it for me. I'm going back to cook."
Old ladies: “…” What are you paying attention to? You’ll be asking for this when you’re an old maid.
She said she would go back to cook, but the aunties didn't take it seriously. Everyone in the team knew that this girl was so lazy that she didn't even want to turn over when she slept, so there was no way she could cook.
After a hard year of harvesting in autumn, Shen Shuyu wanted to give her grandparents something better to eat, so she planned to make spicy rabbit meat for lunch today.
He took out a rabbit from the space, prepared it, and started to wash the pot and light the fire. Shen Shuyu had already prepared the ingredients and side dishes.
Pour oil into the pan, heat it to about 60% to 70%, put the spices in and fry them to bring out the aroma, remove the spices, pour the rabbit meat in and fry until golden, add chopped garlic, add chili segments and seasonings, the aroma will come out all at once.
Shen Chunling was so busy at work that she forgot about it. When she was about to get off work, she remembered that she had not prepared lunch. She hurried home and found that her eldest niece had already prepared lunch.
As soon as you enter the house, the aroma of meat fills the yard, making you salivate unconsciously.
"Shu Yu, what did you do that smells so good?"
Shen Shuyu lifted the lid of the pot and said, "Second Aunt, I made spicy rabbit meat. We will have spicy rabbit meat for lunch today."
"You went up the mountain?"
Shen Shuyu said nonsense, "Well, I was walking around and a stupid rabbit bumped into my leg, so I caught it right away."
Shen Chunling: Her eldest niece is so lucky.
Shen Chunling turned her attention to another pot. When she opened the lid, the aroma of rice wafted out. She widened her eyes and said, "This is... rice, right? Oh my goodness, you spendthrift girl, why did you cook so much?"
"Spicy rabbit meat should be served with rice. You work so hard, you should eat better."
Rice is so expensive. They are reluctant to cook a bowl of rice during the Chinese New Year. There is so much rice in the pot. My niece must have cooked more than a pound of rice.
"At this time, we are very happy to have meat to eat, how dare we think about rice? Eating both meat and rice, even the working class families don't eat as well as this."
"I don't eat it every day, I only eat it once in a while."
"You, Second Aunt can't argue with you."
The two served the food. When the old couple came back and found out that lunch was made by their eldest granddaughter, they praised her.
"My dearest is really amazing. She cooked such a delicious meal for the first time in the kitchen. Wait a minute, grandpa! (Grandma) must taste the meal made by my eldest granddaughter."
Shen Chunling laughed, "Mom and Dad, look at how wasteful your eldest granddaughter is. She cooked so much rice, and you didn't say a word."
Old Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "What are you talking about? My dear baby made so much just for us to eat. You should be happy to have such a good niece."
"Yes, yes, mother is right."
The people in the first, second and third rooms were too lazy to run back and forth. They made breakfast and lunch at the same time and did not come back for lunch.
Shen Shuyu cooked spicy rabbit meat and braised rice because she knew they would not come back.
Gu Jiandong came back skipping and jumping, and saw the meat and rice on the table, with the word "happy" written all over it from top to bottom.
After washing his hands, he happily sat next to Shen Shuyu. Old Lady Shen started eating with her chopsticks. She first picked up a piece of meat for Shen Shuyu, and then she picked up the second piece of meat and put it in her own mouth.
The rabbit meat is spicy and numbing, and you'll want to eat more after eating one.
Paired with fragrant rice, it's simply a blessing.
Old man Shen asked his wife for a drink of wine as usual, but Old Lady Shen glared at him and he behaved himself. He poured two bowls of boiled water, clinked bowls with Gu Jiandong, and pretended to be drinking.
Shen Shuyu and his friends finished eating a rabbit weighing more than three pounds.
Shen Chunling touched her round belly, burped, smacked her lips, and looked very satisfied.
Shen Shuyu went back to the house and took out six bunches of grapes. She washed them and put them on the table. "Grandpa, grandma, and second aunt, these are wild grapes I picked on the mountain. They are very sweet. You can try them."
Shen Chunling sighed, "There are also fruits after meals. Hey, this life is really happy."
The eldest granddaughter often picks wild grapes and brings them back. Grandma Shen and the others have gotten used to it and eat the grapes happily.
After eating, Old Lady Shen and the others went out to work.
Shen Shuyu came to the foot of the mountain carrying the basket on his back, where there was a wheat field.
Shen Shuyu looked around and saw only Grandpa, Grandma Liang and Taotao. The three of them were sitting under a big tree eating black flour steamed buns.
"Grandpa, Grandma Liang, please don't eat the black flour steamed buns. I brought you some food."
She took out the rice and rabbit meat that had been prepared in advance. As soon as the aluminum lunch box was opened, little Taotao opened his mouth and saliva started to flow out from the corners of his mouth.
"Meat and rice, grandpa and grandma, it's meat and rice."
"Shh, keep your voice down."
When Yang Zhen and Liang Jun saw their granddaughter coming, they looked around cautiously. After looking around for several times and not seeing anyone, they felt a little relieved.
No matter how many times they told their granddaughter not to come to see them, the granddaughter would still come next time even if she agreed.
This time, neither of them said anything asking her not to come over next time.
"Child, have you eaten?"
“I came here only after I was full, you guys eat quickly.
Come to Taotao and eat meat."
