After setting off the firecrackers and paying respects to their ancestors, everyone gathered together and prepared to eat a New Year's Eve meal.
This day, regardless of age, gender, or status, everyone sat together and enjoyed a meal of dumplings, comfortably passing the year.
After eating the dumplings, the chopping board and the two of them rushed to do the housework first.
The green bamboo and red flower also washed the bowl.
Da Ya brought over a few boxes of snacks and placed them on the table.
Shen He suggested: "Since it's New Year, everyone should talk about your own matters. Let us all get to know each other, okay?"
"Alright!" Second Uncle Wang was the first to respond, and said emotionally: "Although I have been with you kids for so long, I still don't seem to know what's going on with you guys. Let's start with me! "
The children all responded, "Good, good, good!"
Second Uncle Wang's eyes were dazed for a moment, then he slowly said: "I was called Wang Er since I was young, and my father was also a prey. My mother became sick when I was eight years old. In order to repay his debts, his father hunted with all his might. He would go wherever other people dared not to go, and he would even fight against prey that others did not dare to hunt. One day, the sewer capsized. When I was fifteen years old, my father was pregnant by a blind man and never opened his eyes again. At that time, when I heard this news, it was as if the sky had fallen and the earth had crumbled. It was Brother Shen who helped me bury my father and gave me two taels of silver for a living. "
Brother Shen is Shen He's father, Scholar Shen.
"Brother Shen is two years older than me, and his health has never been very good. We were both sick and helpless. He was a little better off than me. He had a disappointing elder brother and a biased parent, but of course, he didn't look any better now. The two of us can be considered to be mutually dependent on each other. That two taels of silver is all he has left. He gave it all to me. That day, I swore that I would definitely treat Brother Shen well. "
"Later on, Brother Shen became a scholar and an Elementary Scholar. When the bailiff came to a
ounce the good news, I was overjoyed. I personally went into the mountains and beat up a deer for Brother Shen as a congratulatory gift. Brother Shen relied on that deer to marry a wife, and also married his own big brother to a wife. "
"Later on, Brother Shen's parents were gone, and Brother Shen's brother's family didn't need to change ??" Second Uncle Wang's gaze became misty once again. "I was a
oyed by Brother Shen's family's matters and ignored Brother Shen. I didn't expect to hear the news about Brother Shen again, it was grievous news. Brother Shen and sister-in-law were gone, only the five-year-old Shen He was left. Shen He's surname is Shen and is a member of the Shen Jia Village. Naturally, he has an elder uncle to take care of him. At that time, something happened to me as well. "You all know that when my wife gave birth, one corpse and two lives ??"
The atmosphere instantly became strange.
Without waiting for others to interrupt, Second Uncle Wang continued, "Fortunately, all of this is over. Although I am still alone, I am not alone. "
Shen He immediately said, "Second Uncle, after Sister Xue marries over and gives you a big fat boy, you won't be alone anymore."
Second Uncle Wang laughed and said, "If you live a good life, I'll be satisfied."
After Second Uncle Wang had finished speaking, the servant Er He also followed and spoke up: "There's no one left in my house, they're all dead now. When I was seven, there was a plague in the village, and most of the villagers died. Those who didn't die fled. At first, I was called Doge, but later I sold myself to a peddler for a bite of food. The peddler sold me to a large family, and in the end, that family was unkind and often beat and killed the manservant, so I took advantage of the chaos to escape and continued to walk in Doggie's name. Afterwards, it was sold to the Wen Mansion. "Now that I'm Miss's man, I'll be wherever Miss is."
Da Gang looked with sympathy at Er He and said, "I thought my family was too poor. If I couldn't open the pot, I would be sold by my family."
"You're a kid, how could you be sold?" Second Uncle Wang asked.
Generally speaking, country folk valued men very much. Unless they really could not go on living, they would not sell men.
The boss laughed at himself and said, "Because I have a father that loves to gamble. He sold me to a casino to repay my debt."
The people around them stopped talking.
This was too sad!
Sold away by his own father!
The board continued, "After I left that family, I had nothing to do with that family. My mother was so angry that she cried until her eyes went blind. "I estimate that once I leave, my mother won't be able to live much longer."
Da Ya felt the same way and her eyes turned red.
She was also almost sold out by her own mother!
How could there be such heartless relatives in this world?
Dazhi said, "Afterwards, I secretly went to find my family, but you guys can guess, right? Nothing, nothing. The day after I was sold, my mother was killed. My father's whereabouts were unknown, so I couldn't find him. As for the others, who cares if I live or die? "Therefore, I don't have a home anymore. The world is vast, and there is only this little bit of a place for me to live."
Shen He stroked their heads. They were both bitter children.
After listening to their story, Cui Zhu lowered her head and said, "I'm different from them, I'm a child of the family."
The so called son of the family was that his parents were both servants in wealthy families, so the ones born were naturally the servants of this family.
Cui Zhu's father was a small steward of the Wen Family who took care of some of the chores in the manor.
His mother was a woman in charge of cooking in the manor.
The two of them had very low statuses, so they gave birth to green bamboo. Their statuses weren't too high, and up till now, they were only third-rate girls.
However, to be able to do things in the big residence of the Wen Family, even if it was a third-rate girl, it would already be pretty good.
Ordinary people wouldn't be a third-rate girl.
Shen He thought about the few Da Ya maids in her Dream of the Red Chamber and also deeply understood Emerald Bamboo's identity and background.
It had to be known that Jia Zheng's official position in the Residence of Jia was that of a Minister for Work, and he was promoted from a fifth rank official position.
Wen Jian Qing's father was a first rank student, the Minister of Rites, there was a huge gap between them!
Therefore, Cui Zhu's status was actually not considered low.
Shen He found this discovery to be extremely interesting.
"I am also a child of the family, but my parents married the Second Madam to me. My father is in charge of one of Second Madam's stores, and my mother is doing things with Second Madam. "
It seemed like this red flower held the highest position!
Although she was also a third-rate girl, her parents' starting point was still higher than her.
Oh, the future is limitless too!
At this time, Shen He suddenly started gossiping and asked: "I heard that the ultimate goal of all maids are to become the concubine of the young master?"
Shen He's words made Cui Zhu and Hong Ye's faces turn red.
