I played as an assistant in ancient times

Shen Xiaoye stole a glance at her grandmother who was carrying them to turn the wheat, approached her uncle and stirred the cloth in the water with one hand, and asked in an almost inaudible voice: "Do you doubt it?"

"Take the bucket and follow me to fetch water." Shen Changsui turned around and reported to Lin, then took her to the river.

There was no one else by the river at noon, he said: "Even if you lived on the same street as your parents and your grandmother before you were ten years old, you had to study and play with other children, so you didn't always go to your grandmother's house to spend every day with her.

Plus, after you killed a few bandits that night, you had a high fever and kept waking up and down, and your parents weren't around, so your life suddenly became difficult and changed, so you wouldn't be suspected."

"What about just now?" Shen Xiaoye relaxed a little.

Shen Changsui stared at the river for a while and said, "It's because of me that I am a little different from the Changsui who likes reading as Geng Ge'er said.

Although there is a filter that suggests that the family has undergone a major change and the temperament has shifted, when I took over the soaked cotton cloth at the Cangzhou dock that time, even my sister-in-law looked at me with surprise, let alone my own parents.

Do you know why I rarely call the old man "Dad"?

"Why?" Shen Xiaoye recalled the past two years. He really didn't call his uncle "grandpa" if he could. "My cousin said that my fourth uncle used to follow the neighbors and call me grandpa."

Plop, crash

Shen Changsui fetched several buckets of water and said, "That day, after we pretended to be nice to the clerks to avoid their exploitation, he secretly told my mother that he suspected that I was not me and planned to send me to Lingshan Temple to become a monk after returning home.

Mother was very angry and said that her son was her son, and even if he was reborn, his body was still her son's."

"So, grandma actually had doubts too." Shen Xiaoye patted her forehead. Her uncle had taken care of her in every aspect for the past two years. Except for the first month when she was worried about being discovered, she later thought that her uncle had taken care of everything.

She thought of something else and asked, "After the county exam, grandpa insisted on going on a long journey with my uncle. Could it be that he didn't pay much attention to your provincial exam?"

“He definitely cares more about his daughter than me.

Xiaoye, I have never told you that my elder brother wrote to me saying that he found the remains of Xiaoye's parents. "Shen Changsui looked at her reaction and saw that she was staring at him in a daze.

Shen Xiaoye felt her face a little wet. Was it raining?

Shen Changsui wiped away her tears. The little girl lost her father and mother at a young age in her previous life, and now it was the same again.

"Uncle, when I woke up, the parents were so happy. They watched over me without blinking. They are doing fine... Maybe, their family has been reunited." The more Shen Xiaoye wiped her tears, the more she cried. She simply sniffed, squatted by the river, and scooped up water to cover her face.

After a long time, the water on her face dried up, and she sighed deeply and said, "If we can go to Taixu Temple, let's light a long-lasting lamp for them!"

"Okay." Shen Changsui handed her the two empty buckets and said, "A few days ago, I, She Sumu, collected the cloth today without consulting the old lady, and announced that I would teach people to read without any warning. The more I am in charge, the more panicked she becomes.

Plus, I just scolded you loudly, which made the old lady feel uneasy.

You and I are the only ones who know about the death. When we get home, be careful not to show your emotions, and don’t leave her alone. The old lady had a hard life.”

"Yeah." Shen Xiaoye grabbed the bucket, took a deep breath and walked quickly.

……

Half an hour later, Huang came back with two rolls of cloth. She saw three generations of people busy at work in the yard. It was a very ordinary thing, but she felt it was unusual. "Mom, the pig stew is ready."

She saw Sui Ge'er nod to her gently and concentrate on twisting the cloth. Her mother-in-law sat at the door, picking beans quietly without making any sound.

Shen Xiaoye took the pieces of cloth handed to her by her uncle one by one and put them on the rack to dry: "Aunt, is there no one selling cloth anymore?"

"No more. There are two families who want to dye cloth. I wrote down their names and colors on the notes." Huang sent the cloth to Shen Xiaoye's room.

Then he quickly turned to the main hall and said, "Mom, I'll pick up the mung beans another day. You take a rest."

"I have nothing to do. Xiaoye won't let me go to bleach cloth, and Suiger won't let me go to the fields in the hot sun." Just as Lin finished speaking, Shen Changsui came over with his hands swinging. He took the dustpan from her legs and said, "Mother, you have to accompany me to share the pig slaughter dishes, otherwise they will think I am young and give me more soup."

"Nonsense, you're going to be a teacher soon, and they'll have to curry favor with you and give you some thickener.

If you don't believe me, I'll get you a big basin." Lin said this, but her feet were supported by her son and she walked out of the house and out of the door.

Even through the courtyard wall, one could see Shen Changsui talking to the old lady.

However, but!

"Xiao Ye, it seems your grandma and uncle didn't go to the kitchen to get the basin? What's going on?" Huang was confused.

Shen Xiaoye sighed and said, "I'll take it and send it over."

Then she quickly hung up the cloth to dry, and quickly took the basin to the threshing ground, leaving Huang with a lot of questions and confusion.

The little black cat just took a nap and was even more confused: "You guys are weird."

"It's not her fault. It was my grandma who noticed that there were some problems between me and my uncle." Shen Xiaoye learned from her cousin that although "she" used to be lively, she was not as outgoing as herself.

My fourth uncle loved reading and paid little attention to other things except practicing martial arts to strengthen his body.

The halo of her temperament affected by the great changes in her family two years ago was gradually fading away. She glanced at the mother and son walking slowly in front of her and involuntarily slowed down her pace.

Meanwhile, Shen Changsui was saying to Lin, "Mother, I just thought of teaching the children to read and count.

In the past, my son was busy studying with his brother-in-law, but since the night when they fought back against the bandits, the heavy casualties in the escort company and the breakup of the bosses, as well as the hardships he experienced along the way, my son understood what it meant to be unable to carry the whole thing alone.

We seemed to have built up a family business in Qiu County, but it was all in vain with only my father to support us.

On the contrary, here in my hometown, although we are not rich, we have people who come to help us. If someone gives me something, I will give back three times. Helping others is mutual."

"Mother understands. We have been away from home for too long. Coming back to settle down is not just about relying on your uncle to build a house for us to live in.

Why did the Hang family dare to cause trouble in the fields again and again? Why do you have to share the profits from the wild boars you hunted?

Teach me, as long as it does not affect your studies. " Lin patted his hands. This child is just like when he was little. He never hides things from her. Isn't it the long-lived one she gave birth to and raised?

That is, people become more opinionated as they grow older. "Let's discuss the matter of going to Wuzhong Mountain after your father comes back, okay?"

"Okay, the Taoist priest and I haven't signed any agreement, so we can adjust it verbally." Shen Changsui readily agreed.

It was also a coincidence that just as he said "Master", Hengxi came towards him and said, "Why did you take a detour, my dear Shen? I came to your house to ask for your pulse but found nothing.

And the little friend behind, isn’t it fun to sneak behind me?"

"Please forgive me, Taoist priest. My brother Sui just wanted to take me to stretch my legs.

Thank you for your trouble." Lin saw Shen Xiaoye, waved to her, and explained to the Taoist priest.

Shen Xiaoye handed the basin to his uncle and looked at the Taoist priest, "Are you free to treat my grandmother? Please come home quickly."
