Chapter 147 Honey Water
Shen Shuyu usually sleeps until noon before getting up, but today he got up early. When he was trading with Scar in the broken house, Shen Shuyu yawned continuously, his eyelids were heavy, and he didn't want to open his eyes once he squinted.
Scar wanted his younger brother to clean up the room for him to sleep in. This guy was his God of Wealth, so he had to take good care of himself.
"Brother Xiao Su, there's no one here except us. I'll ask the brothers to clean up the house and you can go in and take a nap."
Shen Shuyu waved her hand, "No, I have other things to do."
Seeing that he was in a hurry to leave, Daoba paid for the goods and asked his younger brother to bring up a cloth bag, "Brother Xiao Su, this is a little gift from me, take it."
Shen Shuyu was not polite at all. He took the money, picked up the cloth bag and left the shabby house.
Shen Shuyu was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes. On her way back by bicycle, she nearly fell into ditches and fields several times.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and turned the car around.
But she still fell several times.
The family members went to work in the fields, and Shen Shuyu went back to the house and fell asleep.
Over here at the threshing ground.
Gu Jiandong's job today is to thresh wheat. This job is simple. He just needs to whip the cows and let the cows carry the stones and roll them back and forth on the wheat to crush it.
Shen Erzhu saw that the child was sweating profusely and waved at him, "Jiandong, come here."
"Second Grandpa, why are you calling me?"
Shen Erzhu shook the bamboo tube in his hand and said, "Second Grandfather, here is some honey water. Would you like to drink some?"
"Honey water? Is it delicious?"
Shen Erzhu smiled and said, "It tastes better than sugar water. Don't you think it tastes good?"
After he said this, Gu Jiandong picked up the bamboo tube and took two big gulps.
Gu Jiandong hadn’t drunk honey water since he became stupid. As far as he could remember, this was the first time he drank it. The unique aroma of honey seemed to have awakened his taste buds.
He liked the taste, but he didn't drink much. After tasting it, he handed the bamboo tube to Shen Erzhu.
"Thank you, Grandpa,"
"Jiandong, drink more. Drinking more honey water is good for your health."
Gu Jiandong couldn't help but took another sip. He sat on Shen Erzhu and asked, "Second Grandpa, this honey water tastes so good. Why don't we have it at home?"
"This honey water is made with honey. Honey is hard to find. It's normal that you don't have honey at home. Second Grandpa's house doesn't have much either, only one or two ounces. It was your Second Grandma who saw how hard I've worked these past few days and was willing to pour some out for me to drink."
“Where can you find bees?”
“Hahaha, of course it’s in the mountains.”
Gu Jiandong's eyes rolled around after hearing this. "Second Grandpa, I want to go out and play for a while. Please let others drive the cattle."
The child had earned ten work points in the morning. He said he wanted to go out and play, but Shen Erzhu waved his hand and let him go.
As soon as he left, Zhou Jingchen came up to him, licked his face and said, "Captain, I'm a little thirsty..."
This thing must be thinking about his honey water. There is only half of the honey water left in the bamboo tube. He is not an active member of the team, so it is a waste to give it to him.
Shen Erzhu pretended not to understand what he said, "If you are thirsty, go home and drink some water. If you are too lazy to walk home, go to the well and drink.
Why are you coming here to talk to me? I am not your parents or your wife. How can I, as the captain, take care of your food and drink? "
Why doesn’t the old man understand what he means? He also wants to drink honey water.
"Captain, I heard you have honey water. My throat has been a little uncomfortable recently. Can you give me a sip?"
Shen Erzhu smiled and opened the bamboo tube. Just when Zhou Jingchen thought the captain would give it to him to drink, Shen Erzhu tilted his head back slightly and gulped down the honey water in the bamboo tube.
The bamboo tube tilted downwards, and there was no drop of water left.
"Zhou Zhiqing, you came at a very unfortunate time. I'm out of honey water and my throat is hurting. I'll go to the village clinic after work."
Zhou Jingchen, who saw him drink up all the water, said: “…”
He is the team leader, but he doesn't know how to take care of him, an educated youth who went to the countryside. He is from Kyoto, but this old man doesn't give him any face at all.
"Captain, do you have any honey at home? If so, I'd like to exchange some with you."
Honey is rare and you can't buy it even if you want to. If he could send some home, his parents would definitely look at him with admiration.
"No."
He was willing to drink honey water, so how could there be no honey at home? Shen Erzhu said there was no honey, but Zhou Jingchen didn't believe it at all.
"Captain, I won't change much, just one pound will do. I have cloth coupons and sugar coupons in my hand."
"Forget a pound, not even an ounce.
Everyone is working at this time, and you come to me and complain, which will only delay things. Hurry up and work."
"Captain..."
Shen Erzhu was too lazy to pay attention to him. He took the bamboo tube and went back to the brigade headquarters to write about the progress of the autumn harvest.
Zhou Jingchen stood there, so angry that he wanted to hit someone. A peasant is a peasant, and in this life he can only be a small team leader in this shabby village.
I don't even dare to change the honey.
"Jingchen, what did you just say to Second Grandpa?" Shen Xue was also threshing wheat here. She knew that Zhou Jingchen came to talk to Shen Erzhu.
Zhou Jingchen looked discouraged, "The captain has honey water to drink, I wanted to exchange some with him for you, but he refused to give it to me.
Xiaoxue, it's all my fault that I'm useless and can't even get you some honey water to drink."
Shen Xue hated it most when he said that she was useless, "Jing Chen, don't say that.
Second Grandpa has always been a stingy person, so it's normal that he is reluctant to exchange the honey water with you.
I don’t really like drinking honey water, but it’s okay if you don’t drink it.”
"He just gave it to the fool."
Shen Xue: “…”
"Maybe I feel sorry for the fool."
"Xiaoxue, the captain is your relative after all, so go to his house after work and exchange some for him.
Honey is a good thing. Drinking more of it will do good to your body.
If there is more, we will send some to my parents. If my parents knew that you, their daughter-in-law, miss them and specially send them honey, they will definitely be very happy. "
When it comes to loving his wife, no one can compare to her Jing Chen. He knows that drinking honey water is good for the body, so he thinks of ways to change it for her.
Shen Xue was almost moved to tears after hearing the last part. She really hadn't made a mistake in choosing Jing Chen. Everything Jing Chen did was for her own good.
I wanted her to have a good impression in front of her parents-in-law, so I even thought of what to send to her.
“Will my parents really be happy if I send them honey?”
Zhou Jingchen smoothed her hair and said with a gentle smile, "Of course, this is a token of your love. Your parents will definitely be very happy to receive it."
Still outside, Jing Chen was so intimate with her, Shen Xue lowered her head shyly, "Then I'll go to my second grandfather's house after work and ask him for some honey. My second grandfather loves me very much,
We don’t need to bring things to exchange with him. We are all relatives. If we bring things to him, it will be too formal. Second Grandfather doesn’t like this.”
Zhou Jingchen looked like he couldn't do anything to you, "I'll do as you say."
