Chapter 1689
Shen He immediately replied with a smile, "I've always thought of Second Uncle as my own father! When I grow up, I'm naturally going to give Second Uncle a pension! "Although I'm a girl, but I can't let Second Uncle be so old that he has no one to rely on, right?"
Aunt Huang laughed and said: "Shen He is indeed a person with a conscience, it is not in vain for your Second Uncle to protect you. In the future, you two will live a good life, and no one in the village will be able to bully you. "
Shen He immediately smiled, "Aunt is right."
Second Uncle Wang and Shen He, one was a man who had lost his wife, and the other was a child who had come out as an independent woman.
When the two of them got together, they looked miserable no matter how they looked at it.
If you don't look at such a big house.
Those who used to watch Shen He make a fool of herself was no longer able to laugh.
They might not even be able to make such a huge house in their entire lives, let alone if Shen He only used a few months to build it all up.
In terms of regret, the person who regretted the most was most likely Shen He's uncle's family.
On this day, his eldest uncle's family also came and sat together with the villagers.
Shen He had done all that she could for his uncle's family, she would rather not build a house and take out all the money she had left to treat his uncle's illness, so now that Shen He's life was better, his uncle couldn't say anything anymore.
When People in the village saw the remorseful expressions of his eldest uncle and his family, he immediately made fun of them and said, "Aiya, looking at Shen He's life, he seems to be better than all of us. Look at the three mu of land's corn in the yard, it looks really good! If you have this three mu of land, your family would probably be full this winter, right? "
The yield of grain per mu now was not as high as it was now. An acre of grain would only yield around four to five hundred catties, and a three mu of land would produce over a thousand catties.
However, one should not underestimate this thousand jin of grain. This amount was enough for a family to eat for half a year!
If he mixed some other coarse grain with it, he would be able to pay for more than half a year!
Especially since this three mu of land was trapped by Shen He in the courtyard, they were not harmed by the animals. Every single one of them was around the size of a regular tree, and every single one of them was a real harvest.
Hearing the villagers' mocking, Eldest Uncle silently took a puff on his pipe, not saying a word.
Villagers can't smoke tobacco, a lot of dry smoke is actually straw crushed and rolled up.
Therefore, the smoke was especially thick when it came to smoking.
Seeing that his own husband could not make a sound for a long time, Eldest Aunt could only go up personally, and said: "Shen He is so lucky, we, the Eldest Aunt s, are naturally happy for her. When she's better off, can she forget about her uncle? "
"Hur Hur Hur Hur." The man just smiled and didn't answer.
Shen He was already an independent woman, it was normal for her not to help.
However, no one would say these words out loud.
Eldest Aunt looked at the three acres of corn in the courtyard greedily. It was about to be harvested, if only she could borrow some food from Shen He, then it would be good for the winter.
When it was time to start the meal, plates and plates of dishes were served. All the helpers who had passed by the table were already there, and it was time for the banquet to begin.
There wasn't much to pay attention to when it came to warm pots in the countryside. The village chief and Li Zheng exchanged a few words, and then the banquet began.
After they finished eating, Shen He divided the remaining dishes into half, and let the aunts and juniors who had come to help the kitchen take a portion back one by one.
Although they were all leftovers, for the villagers who did not want to see food for the rest of their lives, this was already a very good benefit.
The aunties who had helped him earlier happily took the leftovers Shen He had shared with them as they all went back home. The bustling house had instantly quietened down.
After Shen He followed Second Uncle Wang and brought the borrowed tables and stools back, the sky turned dark.
"Second Uncle, thank you so much for today." Shen He said to the Second Uncle Wang: "It's already this late, you can stay here. I have a lot of rooms here, and I'm the only one here.
Second Uncle Wang laughed and said: "I am not tired. After today, you can officially be considered to have a home of your own. "It looks like this corn is about to ripen. I'll help you collect it in a few days."
Shen He's footsteps paused, she raised her little face and looked at Second Uncle Wang seriously, saying: "Second Uncle, I am serious. I truly treat you as my own father! "
Second Uncle Wang's lips trembled, as if he was a bit embarrassed.
He was only two years younger than Shen He's father.
Being Shen He's father, was indeed a thing of the past.
These thoughts had always been in the hearts of these two people. This was the first time it had been publicly displayed, so they felt a little embarrassed.
"Second Uncle, are you pla
ing to live by yourself in the future?" Shen He continued: "If Second Uncle intends to marry another wife, just take it as if I didn't say that. If Second Uncle doesn't want to get married, then I will be your daughter and send you to the end of your life. Although I ca
ot marry a woman, there is no rule against not doing business and not making money! When I've earned enough money, I'll give Second Uncle a proper retirement age. "
Second Uncle Wang raised his hand and touched the top of Shen He's head, and then said after a while: "Okay, Second Uncle will wait for you to retire."
The two of them came to a tacit agreement and laughed at the same time.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the day of the autumn harvest arrived.
The corn stalks in the field were yellow to the naked eye.
Harvesting corn is much simpler than growing it.
The Second Uncle Wang was young and strong, and was an expert at it. In three days time, Shen He had taken all of them.
All the sticks were dried and stacked in the basement storage room.
The straw was also tied up, leaving the kang to cook.
Shen He's house was truly not small.
Originally, he only pla
ed to build three rooms, but later on, he had plenty of money and added two more rooms.
There were five rooms on the ground, five on the ground and two on the floor. These were the twelve rooms.
In the Shen Jia Village, they could even be considered rich!
Otherwise, the villagers would not have ridiculed Uncle Shen He's family.
Shen He's days were indeed better than staying at her uncle's house.
There were also many people urging to borrow food from him secretly in the village, but it was clearly stated at the time when they were in the branch families, that Shen He no longer had any responsibilities to support his uncle's family.
Eldest Aunt said to Shen He and was easily stopped by Shen He.
Shen He's reasoning was perfect.
She wanted him to keep the three mu of land for her to eat with Second Uncle Wang.
Second Uncle Wang hunted all year round, and there weren't many lands, so it was just right for the two of them to eat together.
After he finished harvesting all the food, Shen He also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Now that the food was in stock, there was no need to worry about the future.
Wen Zhi Zhou's servant came twice and took away the painting in Shen He's hands, while paying him for the painting.
After a while, Shen He had become more familiar with Wen Zhi Zhou.
Today, it was the day Wen Zhi Zhou came to retrieve his manuscript.
Shen He had just finished cleaning up her house, and was preparing to clean up the wild game sent over from Second Uncle Wang, as well as give herself an extra meal, when she heard the sound of a carriage outside the door.
