Chapter 362 Lover Returns
The rice dumplings were wrapped quickly and taken to the kitchen to cook, two large pots full.
"Ali, Lao Si, we have too many rice dumplings. You should take some to your grandfather and your uncle Erhe's house. Then come back quickly and take some to the other families."
"Got it, mother."
The brother and sister each carried a basket filled with steaming rice dumplings and walked out of the door in the same direction.
Shen Mochi struggled to find the one he had made among the steaming dumplings and asked Shen Changshan to help take it out.
Seeing Shen Li and the others leave, he also carried a small basket and said, "Grandpa, pack the rice dumplings. A Chi will also deliver the rice dumplings."
The three people present couldn't help laughing. His small basket could only hold three dumplings at most. How many families would they feed?
However, it is a good thing for children to take the initiative to help, and we should not dampen his enthusiasm. Thinking of this, Shen Changshan put two rice dumplings into his basket.
Xu Taohua picked up a basket and put a lot of rice dumplings in it, "Mom and Dad, Achi and I are going to Fourth Grandpa's house."
"Okay, go ahead. I think Achi just wants to go out and play. Take him for a walk outside."
"Okay," Xu Taohua pulled Shen Mochi, "Come on, Ah Chi, let's go to our fourth great-grandfather's house to deliver rice dumplings."
"Walk."
When Shen Li came back, she picked up a handful of mugwort on the way. She had just checked and found that it was not hung on the door. She didn't know whether it had not been pulled back yet or had to wait until tomorrow to hang it up.
Shen Li didn’t like celebrating holidays in the past, because when every family was reunited, she was always alone and lonely. She had never experienced the warmth of home and was always afraid of the arrival of holidays.
It’s different now, she looks forward to these holidays because she has family to care about and she experiences the warmth of home, so she has a bond.
"Mom and Dad, I brought back mugwort leaves."
Shen Changshan took it with a smile, "Dad hasn't prepared anything yet, so I'll use this one that Alicai brought back to hang at the door tomorrow to ward off evil spirits."
"it is good."
Lin Cuicui smiled but said nothing. She did not expose her husband's lies.
The situation at home is different now. The housekeeper has prepared these things early in the morning, but Ali is happy, and that's enough.
Shen Changshan put the mugwort picked by Shen Li in a flowerpot and kept it in water so that it would not wilt tomorrow morning.
Shen Li picked up the basket and went out to deliver some rice dumplings before going home to eat them.
Although tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, it’s already wrapped, so it’s better to eat it while it’s hot.
Lin Cuicui looked at her two children and thought of Shen Jingyuan who was serving in the army and Shen Yuanzhou who was traveling around the world.
"I don't know if the eldest and third sons will come back for the New Year this year. I haven't seen them for a long time."
Shen Changshan peeled a rice dumpling stuffed with candied dates for her, "Cui Niang, don't think too much."
Hearing her mother-in-law mention this, Xu Taohua's face looked a little bad, but she still forced herself to cheer up, "Mom, Jingyuan and my third brother will be back, don't worry."
Shen Li also said: "Yes, mother, as long as the eldest brother and the third brother come back, our family will be reunited, so why bother about whether he celebrates the New Year or not."
Shen Mochi handed Lin Cuicui a rice dumpling and said, "Grandma, eat it."
"it is good."
Lin Cuicui finally had a smile on her face. She was wrong. She had a difficult life in the past and always wanted to wait until the Chinese New Year before her family could get some money.
It’s different now. Ali is right. As long as they come back, we will be reunited.
Shen Qian'an was going to take part in this year's imperial examination. He only stayed at home for two days before setting off for the academy. Before leaving, Shen Changshan and his wife prepared some holiday gifts for him to take to the teacher.
He refused his family's farewell and boarded the ship back to Suzhou with his servant Yang Fan.
In order to take care of the potatoes and corn, Shen Li stayed in Daohua Village for five months without going out, and did not even go to see Pei Yu's farm and land.
Time has passed from late spring to late autumn, and the crops that have been planted will soon be ripe.
Shen Li has planted more than a dozen crops of corn and potatoes in her space. Although the potatoes grown cannot be compared with the improved varieties in her previous life, they are much better than what she just saw.
Not only is the size bigger, but the taste is also much better. The corn will be almost the same as in the previous life, with large, numerous and full grains. However, you need to find a suitable reason to take it out.
Shen Li's eyes turned to the several pots in the yard. The plants inside had matured. She walked out and tore off the corn. The corns were a little small and the kernels were not very full.
A total of ten corns were harvested. When Shen Li put them into the basket, she exchanged them with the corn seeds picked out from the space.
The same is true when drawing potatoes. After all, everyone can see them when they are planted here, but no one can see them when they are dug up. It is up to you to decide what they look like.
Shen Li collected these seeds. They were very important. Just these ten corns would provide more grain seeds for the next year. After another year, corn could be planted on a large scale in Beiyan.
As for the ones in the backyard, just like those planted on the mountain, we still have to wait a few more days.
After washing my hands, before I had finished cleaning up the things in the yard, I heard footsteps behind me. Someone was approaching quickly, and the voice sounded familiar.
Before I could use my mental power to check, I was hugged by someone.
Shen Li was stunned for a moment, then hugged him back, "You're back!"
Pei Yu traveled at lightning speed all the way. When he saw Qingxi County, he had an untidy look on his face. It was only at Tianqing's suggestion that he went to the inn to wash up.
My hair wasn't dry yet after I took it off, and some spots on the ends were still wet.
"Ah."
The two did not speak again, but just hugged each other gently. Shen Li noticed that his hair was still wet, and realized that he had rushed over after washing up, and did not use his internal energy to dry his hair.
The late autumn sunshine shines on them, and the golden sunshine makes people feel warm.
After a while, Pei Yu let go of Shen Li and looked seriously at the person he hadn't seen for several months.
Shen Li saw the blue stubble under his beard and reached out to touch it. The stubble scratched her fair and tender fingers, which was quite interesting. She kept tapping her fingers from time to time.
Pei Yu reached out and grabbed her fingers and interlocked them. Shen Li could feel that his fingertips and even the palms were covered with calluses to varying degrees.
Even that handsome face was roughened by the north wind.
Feeling her gaze lingering on his face, Pei Yu asked softly: "What's wrong? Have you become uglier?"
"Well, before, your face was so white and your skin was so tender, you were just like a pretty boy."
"what about now?"
Although he knew that Ali might be playing a prank on him, he still couldn't help but get nervous.
Because he was able to win over Shen Li, it is undeniable that this face had half the credit, maybe more than half.
