Chapter 607
The mother-in-law saw that she was stubborn and that she was well-dressed, so she just thought she was the eldest lady in trouble, and she was so angry that she was embarrassed to let others take off her clothes, so she smiled kindly: "Okay, then hurry up, but Don't freeze your body to make it sick, you will have to bear it when you get old."

Shen Ruo watched the old lady leave the simple house and closed the wooden door again. She took off her clothes with peace of mind, but she didn't dare to soak the water in the wooden barrel directly. She only wet the veil and wrapped it On the body.

After going back and forth several times, when her body was not so stiff, she took the thick cotton clothes the old woman had prepared for her, and put them on one by one.

Although the clothes were a bit worn out and had several patches sewed on them, they were surprisingly warm to wear. After a light sniff, there was a pleasant smell after the sun had sunbathed on them.

When Shen Ruo walked out of the house, she saw the old woman talking with another old man, and when she heard the "squeak" sound of the door opening, the old woman turned her head in surprise, with a hint of panic on her face: "Girl, Why did you come out so quickly without making too many bubbles?"

"It's cold today, and the water is getting cold quickly, so I came out." She took a panoramic view of the old man's expression, but didn't express anything, so she changed the subject calmly, "Excuse me, is there anything to eat? I'm a little hungry."

"Yes, yes! Look at my old lady, I'm getting old, and I've neglected even this. I'll go get it right away, girl, wait!" The old lady patted her wife with great enthusiasm, and shouted at him, " Don't be dazed, you can greet this one for me..."

"My surname is Shen." She spoke in time, relieved the embarrassment for the old lady, and said softly, "Grandma, you saved me, so don't be so polite to me."

"The visitor is a guest, so it should be! Old Li, stop smoking your stinky cigarettes, and take care of Miss Shen for me. I'll go and heat up the lunch cakes."

The old lady smiled kindly at Shen Ruo, then yelled at her wife twice impatiently, then turned and went to work.

Uncle Li took two puffs of dry tobacco, and lit a dark low stool beside him with his long bong: "Sit down, girl, my old lady is slow, you may have to wait for a while."

Shen Ruo nodded, and sat down beside her. Suddenly, her ears hidden under the bun moved slightly, and she turned her head to look at a wooden door that was half open. Two dark eyes were exposed through the gap, and she was staring at him with a strange expression. looking at her.

Shen Ruo was stunned for a moment, and just about to ask, Uncle Li noticed it first, and introduced her: "This is my daughter, Erya, she is timid, and she hides in the house as soon as she is new. Listen, alas, there's nothing I can do about this girl, and I don't know what to do with her after my father and mother are gone."

Shen Ruo looked at Uncle Li, who was probably in his fifties or sixties, and then at Erya, who was only six or seven years old, from the crack of the door, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

She pretended to touch from her cuff, and took out a piece of broken silver: "Uncle Li, thanks to your rescue, I was lucky enough to save my life, please accept this silver, it's just my kindness. "

It's not that she is stingy and gave this little money because of her life-saving grace. It's just that if the old and young of their family suddenly become rich and accidentally become known by others, they may cause disaster. Although this little money is small, it is If you save some flowers, it is enough for a farmer to use it for several years.

Uncle Li didn't seem to expect that she would take out silver to thank her. In their small place, if they occasionally earn one or two copper coins, it is a big harvest. Even in a lifetime, they may not be able to touch the edge of silver.

A very surprised expression appeared on that old and steady face, he hurriedly spit out the cigarette holder from his mouth, and evaded: "No, no, the girl can't do it!"

"The one who saved you was the son of Li Liehu from the head of the village. It's just that his family is full of men, so it's hard to keep your girl at home. I happen to know some medical skills, so they sent you here."

"Thank you, you should also go to thank Li Cuntou's family. We didn't do anything, so we can't deserve it."

Shen Ruo smiled, and forcefully stuffed the silver into Uncle Li's hands: "You boiled hot water for me, gave me this set of clothes, and Aunt Li also gave me hot cooking cakes, the money should be , As for Li Liehu's family, I will go to thank them tomorrow morning."

"You don't have to be polite, just accept it. Erya is still young, and it's time to grow up. Besides, the weather is abnormal, and it's snowing in June. I'm afraid this year's harvest will be forgotten. Keep this It's also very good to have silver next to you."

Uncle Li hesitated again and again, and after listening to her persuasion, he also felt that it was very reasonable, and looking at the outfit she was wearing before, she didn't look like someone who lacked these two ingots of silver.

"Well, I'll accept the old man first, and if the girl needs anything later, just ask her."

Just in time, Granny Li, who had been busy with work, opened the thick cloth curtain on the door and walked in with the cold wind and snowflakes. She held a plate in one hand and a porridge bowl in the other. She laughed and said, "What are you talking about? When old Li, you can't beat a fart at ordinary times, and you neglect our little guests, it seems that this man likes young and beautiful girls, and this talk has become more and more."

"You bitch, you're chewing your tongue again." Uncle Li glared at his wife angrily, puffed on the dry tobacco, and refused to say a word.

Granny Li didn't just stare at him, she also took a look at him, brought the food in her hand to Shen Ruo, and said with a benevolent smile: "Come on, Miss Shen, you're starving, come and try our homemade food." The pancakes are filled with my homemade salted dried vegetables, which taste full of flavor and are very crispy. Old Li's favorite is this bite..."

"It's fine if you brag about yourself, don't drag me into it!"

Granny Li spat at him angrily, turned to Shen Ruo, and said with a smile: "Leave him alone, this old guy is old, his temper is like a donkey in a grass stable, smelly and tough. I'll give it back to the girl." You made some corn paste, so don’t choke when you eat the pancakes! Quickly, come and taste it! I don’t know if my old woman’s handicraft is suitable for the girl’s taste, I hope you don’t dislike it, girl.”

Shen Ruo smiled, took a piece of biscuit, and took a bite. It was a bit dry, but it had a very strong toasted smell, and there were dried vegetables in it. When chewing, it was "crunchy", very crisp, and tasted delicious. It's surprisingly good.

I just ate two more mouthfuls, and I really choked my throat.

Granny Li immediately handed over the corn paste enthusiastically: "Come on, follow your throat."

Shen Ruo was a little flattered. Just as he took the corn paste, a cold mechanical voice from the system suddenly sounded in his mind: "Warning! Warning! Detected coma-causing ingredients in the corn paste, please be careful with the host."
