Yun Qi Qi
"Sisi, where do you live?" Shen Du looked at Shen Sisi.
Just as Shen Shensi was about to speak, she heard a voice.
"Who are you looking for?"
Both Shen Du and Shen Sisi trembled in fright.
However, Shen Lu had very good eyesight and saw a man holding a flashlight from far to near, as if he had just come out of the mountains.
He was wearing a bamboo hat and a somewhat shabby raincoat, and his blue cloth trousers were rolled up to his calves.
My feet were bare and covered with mud.
He also carried a hoe on his shoulder, and a basket hung on the hoe.
Under the illumination of car headlights, a simple old farmer appears.
Shen Sisi also recognized the person: "Second uncle, I am Sisi!"
Erbo Shen: "It's Sisi, I almost didn't recognize it."
"Didn't you call back and say that you were carried by the wrong person and that you found your biological parents?"
"Who are these two?"
Shen Shensi nodded: "Well, this is my brother."
She introduced Shen Du first.
Then he said to Shen Lu: "This is my sister."
"Hello." Erbo Shen looked at the few people.
"Sisi, why are you back at this hour?"
"I..." Shen Sisi didn't know how to explain, so she looked at Shen Du.
Shen Du said: "Let's send Shen Lu back. She is your daughter."
Uncle Shen was surprised, how could anyone send someone back in the middle of the night?
Shen Du was already impatient: "Okay, the people have been delivered, we will leave first."
He roughly threw Shen Lu's luggage out of the car, turned around and left.
"Sisi, come up!"
Shen Shensi could only say to Uncle Shen: "Second uncle, our mother is still in the hospital, so she will leave first."
It's not that she dislikes the village, she's worried about her mother.
"Eh, wait..."
"It's raining so hard. Come back with me and wait until the rain stops before leaving!"
Shen Du glanced at the village behind him, and his disgust was obvious: "No, we can't get used to it."
"Look, you brought the person back in person, and we didn't prepare any thank-you gifts. This is a wild product I just picked up. If you don't mind, take it away!"
Erbo Shen took off the basket hanging on the hoe.
Shen Du didn't even look at it: "Thank you, we don't lack these things, you can keep them for yourself!"
Shen Shensi also felt embarrassed. These things were common in the village.
The second uncle gave it as a gift, no wonder the eldest brother looked down on it.
Before Uncle Shen could speak again, Shen Du had already driven away.
He also left a sentence: "What good things can be found in remote areas? What kind of rags are collected in the mountains? I have the nerve to give them away."
Erbo Shen's smile froze.
He was not far away and took the words seriously.
This family seems hard to get along with.
Erbo Shen looked at Shen Lu again. She was almost wet, her hair stuck to her face, but she could tell that she was a very beautiful girl.
There was no fear of the unfamiliar environment in his eyes, nor was there any dislike of the countryside, there was only peace.
For some reason, Uncle Shen's nose felt sore and he felt a little distressed.
"Your name is Shen Lu?"
"Yes." Shen Lu glanced at Uncle Shen's basket and immediately saw a Ganoderma lucidum that was larger than the mouth of the bowl.
Her eyes flashed, this was pure wild Ganoderma lucidum!
The price is not cheap. The key is not the money, but wild Ganoderma of this quality, which is basically not available outside.
Uncle Shen kindly gave it away, but Shen Du laughed at him and said it was junk?
Shen Lu despised Shen Du's ignorance in his heart, but he was glad that such a thing would be wasted by Shen Du.
"Can you take me to Meditation Home?"
"I'll help you carry the basket."
Shen Lu took the initiative to lift the basket.
How could the old man let her, a little girl, carry things? "No, no, no, I'll do it myself. You're not used to walking on the country roads, so be careful of falling."
Shen Lu blocked it for a moment. She wanted to see what was in the basket.
So he smiled and said: "Then you can help me get my luggage?"
Only then did Second Uncle Shen remember that Shen Lu still had a piece of luggage that he hadn't taken.
He readily agreed: "Okay!"
Erbo Shen thought that the little girl thought the luggage was too heavy. Just when he tried hard, he found that the luggage he had picked up was very light.
"Why is it just this little thing?"
Shen Lu smiled and said: "Just two sets of changes of clothes. Of course you can't take away the Shen family's belongings."
Erbo Shen instantly understood, was it because the Shen family didn't want the little girl to be taken away?
He felt more and more pitiful for the little girl.
"Let's go, I'll take you home first."
"I'll give you the bamboo hat, you don't have an umbrella."
The Shen family was so mean that they kicked the little girl out of the house in the middle of the night.
Shen Lu shook his head and refused: "I'm already wet, I don't care about this moment."
Uncle Shen didn't force it. He was also worried that the girls from the city would be too delicate and dislike the hat he wore.
Shen Lu relied on the light of the flashlight to see clearly that in addition to a Ganoderma lucidum, there was also a Polygonum multiflorum root in the basket.
This root of Polygonum multiflorum lies at the bottom and is thicker than Shen Lu's arm.
There was still a little vine wrapped around it, which had obviously been pulled out roughly, and Shen Lu felt very distressed.
"Do you still have Polygonum multiflorum on the mountain?"
This Polygonum multiflorum root is said to be more than 20 years old and is a rare Chinese medicinal material.
"Yes, I went up the mountain to open a ditch in the middle of the night. I was afraid that the mountains and rivers would be too big and cause landslides, so I saw this Polygonum multiflorum root."
"By the way, my name is Shen Zhongxia. Just call me Second Uncle."
"Your home is just ahead."
Shen Zhongxia took Shen Lu for about 10 minutes and arrived in front of the largest house in the village.
Although this house looks a bit old, even in the dark night, you can still get a glimpse of the grandeur of a wealthy family.
Shen Lu did not expect that Shenjiacun looked poor but hid such a background.
"Aunt Haitang!"
Shen Zhongxia knocked on the brass ring of the door.
There was a barking of dogs inside.
"Here we come." There was an old lady coughing inside.
About 2 minutes later, the door creaked open from the inside.
An old lady with gray hair appeared in front of Shen Lu, holding a lantern in her hand.
She was wearing half-worn cotton and linen, with a plain coat draped over it, and frowned at Shen Lu.
"Shen Zhongxia, who is she?"
Is it worth it when you stay up most of the night and disturb others' dreams?
"I am Shen Lu, who was hugged by the wrong person, Shen Sisi." Shen Lu introduced himself.
The old lady looked at it with half-squinted eyes.
Shen Lu let the old lady look at her with a calm expression.
After a long while, the old lady stepped aside and said, "Come in."
Shen Lu entered the door smoothly.
She was already soaked, so the old lady brought her a brand new handkerchief and said, "Wipe your hair."
"Thank you, grandma!" Shen Lu took it with a smile.
"Did the Shen family send you back in the middle of the night?" the old lady said with a sullen face.
"The real daughter is back. I, the fake daughter who occupies the magpie's nest, should naturally return to my home."
Shen Lu was also stating the facts.
When these words fell into the ears of the old lady, it became clear that the Shen family had taken back their biological child, and they drove her granddaughter back overnight.
Outrageous!
Although she had never been close to Sisi, she had never been mean to her children!
"Auntie, let Xiaolu take a hot bath first, and I'll boil the water for her."
Shen Zhongxia took the initiative to propose.
He was worried that the child would catch a cold after being soaked in the rain for so long.
Just as Shen Shensi was about to speak, she heard a voice.
"Who are you looking for?"
Both Shen Du and Shen Sisi trembled in fright.
However, Shen Lu had very good eyesight and saw a man holding a flashlight from far to near, as if he had just come out of the mountains.
