Chapter 1704: The Choice of Second Uncle
Shen He said with a smile: "If my second uncle is in a hurry to get married, I will ask someone to clean up two rooms and wait until the house is built next year."
Uncle Wang quickly waved his hand: "There's no rush. No rush."
Uncle Wang's face turned red a little bit.
It seemed that he was really attracted to Mr. Xue.
Shen He later asked someone to investigate Mr. Xue and heard that he had a particularly good temper and a good reputation in the village.
Shen He was relieved.
As the days enter the twelfth lunar month, they are getting faster and faster.
In the blink of an eye, the end of the year is here.
Although the village was hit by a disaster, the relief work was timely, so it did not dampen everyone's interest in celebrating the New Year at all.
Shen He took the men and women at home to prepare the food for the Spring Festival early.
It was fried fish, fried meat and fried meatballs, and the smoke from the kitchen never stopped.
As long as you arrive at the door of Shen He's house, you can smell the aroma of various meals.
Although other families are not bad in terms of their financial situation, they are far behind compared to Shen He's family.
In the past, there were still people gossiping in the village, but since Shen He's economic conditions skyrocketed, no one gossiped anymore.
Shen He has reached a height that they cannot reach, so naturally there is nothing to gossip about, only envy.
On the morning of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Uncle Wang chopped the firewood and stacked it in bundles for easy access.
Daya poured hot water for Uncle Wang. Second Uncle Wang took a few sips and asked, "What is Shen He busy with?"
Da Ya replied: "My sister and others are cutting dried sweet potatoes and said they would be dried in the sun and used as snacks."
Second Uncle Wang immediately laughed: "Shen He just can't be idle!"
As he was talking, Shen He directed the boys to carry out several dustpans. When Shen He saw Second Uncle Wang, he immediately waved: "Second Uncle, help get it to the roof. There is sunlight on the roof to dry it!"
Uncle Wang immediately stood up, took it with one hand, climbed directly to the roof, and arranged it carefully and neatly, so that the dried sweet potatoes would be delicious.
When Uncle Wang came down, Shen He looked up with a smile and said, "I have prepared a gift for you. Give it to Sister Xue before the end of the year."
Uncle Wang said embarrassedly: "Why do I have to worry about you again?"
"This is what it should be." Shen He made a face.
After half a year of recuperation, Shen He's figure has gradually become slimmer, and his complexion has also recovered a lot.
Now Uncle Wang is Shen He's concern.
As long as Uncle Wang gets married smoothly, she can go out with Wen Jianqing.
She has to go out after all!
A few days ago, Uncle Wang gave the matchmaker the final news and chose Mr. Xue.
The matchmaker immediately conveyed the news to Mr. Xue, and all the Xue family were very happy.
Ms. Xue even hid at home and embroidered her wedding dress every day.
On Feng's side, Shen He comforted her.
Shen He knew that Mr. Feng liked to read, so he packed a box of books and some snacks and sent them over, meaning that although they were not married, they could still be friends.
The Feng family saw Shen He's style and were very satisfied.
Shen He went behind Uncle Wang's back and sent good fabrics to Ms. Xue so that she could embroider a better dowry.
These things made the Xue family overjoyed and felt that Shen He was more generous than they imagined.
After all, Second Uncle Wang did not refuse Shen He's kindness, and went to the door with the gifts prepared by Shen He.
When the Xue family saw Uncle Wang coming, they naturally wouldn't let him go back empty-handed. They prepared a lot of chicken and duck eggs raised at home and asked him to bring them back, saying they were for Shen He's health.
Naturally, Uncle Wang would not disappoint the other party's kindness. When he returned home, his legs were floating.
The two parties started walking around like this, and the matchmaker arranged a date for them, and decided to have a wedding after the wheat harvest next summer.
The previous three media and six recruitments just completed the entire process.
Everything was planned perfectly.
Finally, on New Year's Eve, Shen He gave all the guards at home a day off and brought a heavy gift to everyone. The guards were overjoyed and thanked Shen He one after another.
Their salaries are paid by their masters. Although they work here in Shen He, their wages are really not paid by Shen He.
But Shen He gives out benefits!
The welfare provided by Shen He is very good, even better than the welfare provided by the original owner.
A three-shift system is implemented here, with ten people on duty taking turns.
They can do whatever they want during the break, as long as they don't get into trouble and don't be late, Shen He never asks them what they are going to do.
The three meals a day are also very good, not only with sufficient portions but also with many flavors.
Country people spend the winter on vacation, so when Shen He had nothing to do, he was thinking about what to eat.
Today I took the maids and the maids to make steamed buns, tomorrow they made steamed buns, the day after tomorrow they made dumplings, and the day after that they carried a big pot to sprout bean sprouts.
In short, every day was very fulfilling and enjoyable.
Shen He has a good temper. Although he has a domineering attitude, he is very friendly to the people. His two maids and two young men are very well-behaved, and no one dares to give Shen He eye drops.
Those guards could clearly see that this Miss Shen He was up to something.
Even though she is only eleven years old, she is no less thoughtful than a thirty-year-old.
So no one in the family dared to fool her.
After sending away the guards who went home for the festival, only the servants and maids were left at home. They had nowhere to go, so they all stayed behind for the festival.
Da Ya, two Ya and three Ya put on brand new clothes and walked carefully for fear of getting their new clothes dirty.
They couldn't remember how long it had been since they had worn new clothes.
For Sanya, this is the first time in her life to wear new clothes.
Shen He also prepared a new suit of clothes for Uncle Wang. Shen He gave the material to Xue and told Xue the size, and Xue sewed it herself.
When Shen He handed the new clothes to Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang's face turned as red as a shrimp.
Shen He clicked his tongue twice, a man in love is different.
The little maid Cuizhu came over with clothes and said to Shen He: "Miss, you are just urging others to change clothes, and you haven't changed yet!"
Shen He immediately said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry, I can wear it again tomorrow. Come on, Cuizhu, let's take out the burned charcoal, and bury a few potatoes and taro, and we can eat it in a while." "
The boy also changed into a brand new gray cotton coat and trousers. He looked very festive and came over to thank Shen He: "Thank you, Miss, for the reward."
Shen He nodded with a smile and said, "It's time for you to prepare some new clothes. You will look better when you go out with me in the future."
Second Uncle Wang couldn't help but ask: "Shen He, are you planning to go out?"
Shen He nodded: "Yes, you should go out boldly when it's time to go out."
Uncle Wang suddenly felt uneasy: "You are still young, you won't have time in two years."
But others can’t wait! Shen He couldn't wait to find others.
