Chapter 42: The Target is a Shrew

  Zhong Gen sheng dully rolled up the earth tobacco and stuffed it into the pipe, lit it up and took a few puffs, then drank some water, instructed several children to pay attention to safety before getting down again.

  Always worried about getting rid of the grass early, so as to accompany a few children into the city, the couple really didn't feel at ease.

  Shen Sisi looked at Er Gouzi and Jixiang Sanbao, who were licking their bowls clean with gusto, her face a picture of disgust. Thinking about the saliva-covered bowls, she couldn't help but shudder all over. With a sigh, she said: "Hurry up and eat, we need to wash the bowls and get ready to set off soon... Er Gouzi, Xiao Fu, you guys go back home and find some cymbals, hurry up..."

  Those little guys, once they heard, finished their bowls and ran away in a flash. The motivation was more than enough, the flavor of the meat soup was too wonderful, they even forgot about the fish soup they usually had in the afternoon, wholeheartedly thinking about the meat that cost one cent per catty, the attraction was quite enormous.

  Shen Sisi had Dabao wash the dishes and didn't stop until he had rinsed them three times. After finishing up, Xiao Hua arrived carrying a drum frame on her back.

  She went home and told Tian Guihua, Tian Guihua smiled and gave her a whole piece of osmanthus cake. At noon, she even gave her half a pancake more. Xiaohua was so favored that her hands kept trembling with unease. Now seeing Shen Sisi, she felt a little guilty, blushing and saying: "......Tuni, I'm here..."

  She came very early, had a pancake, and Tian Guihua sent her away, so Xiaohua was very embarrassed, didn't dare to look at Tuni, with a red face, hanging head, and hands clasped together, extremely embarrassed.

  Shen Sisi looked at her with narrowed eyes, this girl was indeed very shy. In fact, in ancient rural areas, girls were not so particular about things, absolutely unlike the wealthy families in the city who raised their daughters like princesses in a deep boudoir. Because of poor living conditions, girls from a young age were also used to doing chores and before the age of ten would often go out with boys without any gossip, therefore, most girls were really very bold and might develop into shrews...

  But this little flower is really a freak, but thinking about Tian Guihua's temperament, it's not easy to scare her daughter like that. Shen Sisi actually likes her, doesn't have any bad intentions, and is kind-hearted, just a bit too weak.

  The two dogs quickly dragged the gong frame and ran over, their energy was even greater than when they were fishing, which made Shen Sisi extremely black-lined.

  Indeed, the allure of meat was not only for her, but also for all the villagers here who could hardly eat meat a few times a year. Especially for half-grown children like Er Gouzi, whose appetites were growing bigger by the day, and whose families were generally poor, with never enough food to go around. With many mouths to feed, each person's share was even smaller. They would often wander around after lunch looking for something to eat, and now that they had smelled such a delicious meat broth, they were so excited they could hardly contain themselves. At this moment, they wished they had wings or flying legs to fly over, and hated themselves for not being fast enough. After arriving, they shouted loudly, "Hurry up, Da Bao, Tu Niang, hurry up and go pick up the chestnuts..."

  The two dogs are the oldest, they are twelve years old. Because they can eat, there is not enough food at home, so they often come out to find something to eat. At home, no one takes care of them either. He even carried two baskets over, making Shen Sisi speechless. "Can you carry it down? And bring two, both of which can fill up the mountain with chestnuts..."
