Chapter 372 A banquet in the village

Now it seems that the previous idea is completely redundant.

Lulu will have a good life even in the countryside.

The eldest aunt and the second aunt took some time to look at the old house carefully.

They have the same idea as the old man, the Shen family has some background.

The presence of this old house shows the wealth of its ancestors.

Uncle Shen invited everyone to sit in the house, but in the end everyone chose the pavilion in the yard.

In summer, it is very hot in the city, but there is a cool breeze in the countryside in the morning and evening.

Even though it's almost noon, I can't feel the heat wave in the city.

There was a grape trellis in the yard. Shen Lu took a small basket and asked Sheng Qingzhou to carry it for him.

She went to cut some bunches of grapes.

Use the mountain spring water brought down from the yard for cleaning.

After washing it, I took it to the pavilion.

The eldest aunt and the second aunt tasted the grapes separately and both thought the grapes were very sweet.

Those who eat fruit eat fruit, those who chat chat, and those who cook cook, it is so lively.

The dining table is set inside, and the dishes are served one after another, all delicious and delicious.

The bowls and plates of the Shen family are particularly exquisite and simple, complementing this mansion perfectly.

"In-laws, please take a seat quickly."

After Mr. Sheng took his seat, he arranged for others and filled the table with dishes.

This is all mountain and wild flavor, and it also stews some nourishing medicinal materials, which is full of praise.

"The chef is my second nephew-in-law, right? I didn't expect her cooking skills to be so good."

"She comes from a family background, so she can make do with what she has." Erbo Shen was quite modest.

There was no offer of wine during the banquet, but the old lady asked people to take the wine she had brewed with good medicinal herbs.

Anyone who wants to drink can pour the wine and try it himself.

Originally, Shen Lu invited Qin Yun to go to the countryside with him to escape the summer heat.

But Qin Yun didn't agree since she thought Shen Du was still in the hospital.

Shen Lu can also understand that Shen Du is his grandson after all, and now his mother has been arrested again. Shen Mingguang has not had time to go to the hospital and has to take care of the company. Ms. Qin has to blame him for not helping.

Although Qin Yun didn't care about this, she certainly couldn't leave it alone.

Lu Xingye was also here, but Shen Lu didn't let anyone disclose his identity, saying that he was his fiancé.

Mrs. Shen specifically mentioned this point, only talking about the grandson of an old friend.

Lu Xingye had been here once before, and no one was very interested in him.

The village started setting up running-water banquets the next day, and the chefs from each household showed off their special cooking skills, and there were many people who helped.

Shen Lu is the most leisurely, she is only responsible for eating.

Oh, yes, there are also sacrifices before the banquet.

The Shen family has another top pick, which is an honor for the former wealthy family.

People in the village are also proud of Shen Lu.

"The young patriarch has inherited Shu Qiu's intelligence. The seventh aunt's son and granddaughter have all been admitted to the best universities. It's really enviable."

"Didn't you listen to the patriarch? Her daughter-in-law is also very smart. A genius from the imperial capital. How can a daughter born from two geniuses be any different?"

"I said Shen Sisi didn't look like a child of the Shen family before. Although she was smart and had good academic performance, she was far behind what Master Shuqiu was when she was a child."

The tribesmen were busy discussing.

The place was very lively.

The Sheng family was also very happy in such an atmosphere.

It's just that Mr. Sheng thought of his daughter and felt a little emotional.

"If Mingzhu sees her daughter grow up, she should be happy, right?"

He sighed.

The eldest aunt quickly comforted the old man: "Don't worry, my sister and brother-in-law will be fine. Even if they can't come back now, they will come back in the future."

"My sister is so smart, even if she encounters danger, she will turn it into a good thing."

Mr. Sheng knew this was true, but talents like theirs were actually very dangerous no matter where they were, and they were easily attacked by spies.

Before meeting his little granddaughter, Mr. Sheng actually had no hope for his daughter's survival.

He had already prepared for the worst.

After seeing his granddaughter, he felt that he could still look forward to it. What if his daughter came back one day?

Just like the appearance of the granddaughter, it was an unexpected surprise to the Sheng family.

Many children in the village gathered around Shen Lu and ate the No. 1 Scholar Cake. It was said that after eating it, he could become the No. 1 Scholar.

Shen Lu was also happy to play with the children.

Just a small stone, hesitant and unwilling to step forward.

Shen Lu noticed that he was not in a high mood, so he bypassed the other children and went to look for the little stone.

"Little Shitou, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Shitou was a little embarrassed when he saw the young patriarch coming to him.

"Young patriarch, I..."

Shen Lu interrupted him: "Just call me sister."

Calling him Young Patriarch or something like that sounds really annoying.

"Sister Xiaolu, my father has not come back."

Xiao Shitou's father works outside. He thought that the whole village came to eat his sister's No. 1 Scholar banquet, and his father who worked outside would also come back.

"Huh? Can we call dad? Sister, this phone has a video function. You can see dad on the phone."

Xiao Shitou's eyes lit up. Dad hadn't been back for a long time. Xiao Shitou was actually thinking about him very much.

Especially during last year's New Year, he didn't know how to tell his mother that he missed his father.

In fact, people in Shenjia Village can live a good life without working very hard, but Mrs. Shen does not want her people to develop the habit of getting something for nothing.

Therefore, each family can receive the tuition fees for their children from her, but they still have to rely on themselves for the rest.

Xiao Shitou's father was not having a good life.

It's not that he's not hardworking enough, it's that he's not particularly smart since he was born, so he can only make money by doing physical work.

Mrs. Shen had never thought of helping Xiao Shitou's family change, but Xiao Shitou's grandfather was particularly stubborn.

He didn't want to accept help from the patriarch, and just said that was all for his son. From now on, it would be enough for his grandson to have the support of the old lady when he studies.

Mrs. Shen couldn't help it either.

She doesn't require all tribesmen to listen to her. She is helpless when encountering such a stubborn person.

And she also knew why Xiao Shitou's grandfather was so stubborn.

This is also related to that special era.

Xiao Shitou's grandfather believed that he had something to do with Mr. Shen's death and he had to atone for his sins.

Shenjiacun would have been very kind if they didn't drive him away and let him get out of the relationship.

He is a typical example of how trouble comes from his mouth. If he hadn't been too talkative, Mr. Shen might not have been criticized.

After all, the entire Shen family village protects the old patriarch.

However, the master didn't blame him, and neither did Shen Haitang.

It was the hurdle in Grandpa Xiao Shitou's heart that he couldn't overcome.

"But, I don't know your father's contact information. Let's go find your mother first, okay?"

Shen Lu changed the subject and proposed to go find Xiao Shitou's mother.

Xiao Shitou's mother is from a nearby village, and she has been at home since she married Xiao Shitou's father.

She had a slight disability in her left hand, but Xiao Shitou's family didn't mind it and gave her a bride price.

After getting married, it took several years to give birth to Xiao Shitou. The couple actually had a good relationship.

Shen Lu took Xiao Shitou to find his mother, and Xiao Shitou's mother was a little flattered.

"Young patriarch!"
