Zhou threw down his chopsticks, and his face also fell down. She stared at Lian Shouxin with her eyes.
"Eat, eat." Old Master Lian noticed Zhou's emotions and immediately spoke, "Get a bowl and pick up dumplings for your mother. Fourth, Dad won't keep you anymore. You should go back and have a meal soon."
Old Master Lian waved to Lian Shouxin, which meant to let Lian Shouxin leave quickly.
Of course, Lian Shuixin understood, so he hurriedly walked out.
"What dumplings should I pick up for me?" Before Lian Shouxin went out, Zhou started to curse, "What credit do I have to do to me? I have the face to eat other people's dumplings in full. I crawled out of my intestines, ate my milk, and grew up, I don't need me anymore. Who can recognize me in the eyes? Who am I from? When I saw me in person, I gritted my teeth and called me. I turned my back and I was wondering how to scold me...... Tycoon, who else is there in his eyes now?... Don't give me dumplings, just throw them into the ground. I'm an immortal, I don't deserve to eat other people's things..."
As he cursed, Zhou felt wronged and his eyes turned red.
Lian Man'er saw clearly at the door and thought to himself that Zhou's way of doing this should be considered an amazing skill. I really don't know what kind of wonderful existence her subjective world is. Not only can it be used as reason, but she also thinks from the bottom of her heart that she is right, it is all wrong for others, and it is all about others' scruples. In this world, she is the only one who is a good person and a kind-hearted person.
"Okay, the fourth brother celebrates his birthday and even brings us dumplings. Why are you thundering and raining again?" Even the old man looked at Zhou and was so frustrated. "This is something wrong with that intestine. Are you looking for someone to vent your anger again? Eat, eat all the time. The fourth brother. It's okay, your mother is just like this. Go home to eat your meal. Don't take anything to heart."
"Oh." Lian Shouxin agreed and hurried out to the room.
When he got into the house, Zhou saw Lian Shouxin leaving. He was so angry that he cursed a few more times, but was stopped by Mr. Lian.
"What are you doing? How old are you? Look at your fourth brother, you are not afraid of people paying attention to you." After the old man said that, he screamed.
Zhou pulled out a big handkerchief from under his butt, wiped his face, and blew his nose loudly, completely ignoring Gu, Jiang, and Zhao Xiu'e's distorted face for a few moments.
"The fourth brother lost his conscience. He thought he had something to eat. He just sent it here. He was a filial son? He lost his conscience, he." Zhou said with a finger.
"All right, all right, I can't tell you clearly. Have a meal!" Mr. Lian continued to argue with Zhou impatiently, and decisively stopped the topic.
Lian Shouxin returned to the west wing room. Lian Man'er had already taken him one step ahead and told Zhang what he saw in the upper room.
Seeing Lian Shouxin's look of discouragement, Zhang resisted and did not interrogate him, but just persuaded him.
"He has a temper of a titty, and he can't pick one out of a hundred people. We can't answer her. Let's do our own duty, and she can do whatever she wants." Zhang said.
Zhou's temper is strange, but to the bottom of it, it is actually simple. If Shuxin and Zhang are still like in the past, what Zhou said is, it would be peaceful. Zhou always picks on and acts because the couple is no longer at her mercy.
This reminded Lian Man'er of an article she had read before. She could no longer remember the specific text, but she still remembered the general content.
The ruling class is used to his dominance. When it realizes that the ruled person is going to break away from his control, the ruling class will inevitably launch an inhumane counterattack. When the ruling class feels that he has lost his dominance, he will not be willing to do so. He will use all his strength to fight dyingly in order to regain his dominance.
The fourth room left Zhou's control, and the inhumane counterattack stage has actually passed. Now it is just a struggle because it is still unwilling to give up and has some despair and hope.
The darkness before dawn has survived this period of time. If you are willing or not, everyone will get used to this newly established order.
So, there is really nothing to care about, they should be happy instead.
Thinking of this, Lian Man'er glanced at Lian Shouxin. Seeing that his face was still a little depressed, he turned his head and gave Xiao Qi a wink. Xiao Qi immediately put down the book in his hand, jumped over a few steps, and the monkey came to Lian Shouxin.
"Dad, a candy seller came outside our private school. The candy seller was very good. Dad, give us two money and I'll buy the candy seller."
He was hugged by his youngest son for money, but even Shouxin was not angry or impatient, but became happy.
The two of them talked for a while, and the clouds on Shouxin's face completely dispersed.
The dumplings were steamed, and Zhang made another egg, sea fungus soup. The family put the dinner table and ate the dumplings happily to celebrate Lian Shouxin's birthday.

After sending a message to Shen Liu, Lian Man'er soon received a reply. It was a message sent by Manager Zhong. He said that Lian Man'er had decided on the day to collect sweet potatoes and he would come at that time.
Lian Man'er pinched her fingers and calculated the day.
A few days later, I heard from Lao Huang on the mountain that the Sixth Master of the Shen family was coming to check the progress of the project on the mountain. The date that Lao Huang said about the Sixth Master of the Shen family was coming to check was exactly the day that Lian Man'er decided.
Lian Man'er knew in her heart that Shen Liu must have gone to the mountain to check it out, and then "by the way" to see her home collecting sweet potatoes.
In a blink of an eye, this day is coming.
At the end of Si, Shen Liu and his team arrived at Sanshiliyingzi. This time, unlike the previous times, there were several more carriages in the team, with attendants wearing official clothes. Looking at the avoidance signs set up in front of him, in addition to Shen Liu's former general of the conquest, general officer of the Liaodong Prefecture, as well as the prefect, the governor, the Yanyun Department, etc.
Shen Liu's pomp this time has become even bigger.
Shen Liu's carriage and horse team passed by in front of the breakfast shop and headed straight to the mountain. Manager Zhong turned out of the team and went to the breakfast shop to say hello to Lian Shouxin.
"After a while, Master Liu will follow you to the fields... Master Liu is busy with things recently, so I'm afraid he can't stay too much," said Manager Zhong.
"Okay, we are all ready." Lian Shouxin said hurriedly.
Then the Lianji breakfast shop closed. The family prepared iron pickaxes, big baskets, and a large pound, and used a calf cart to pull them to the sweet potato field. Before, Lian Man'er had already spoken out from all sides, saying that they would collect sweet potatoes on that day. The farmers like to see fresh food, especially the fresh crops, which is very attractive to them. Shen Liu and others will also go there later. Lian Man'er believes that there will definitely be no fewer people going to watch the fun.
In about two quarters of an hour, Shen Liu's convoy returned from the mountain.
This time, Shen Liu did not get off the car, but just asked Manager Zhong to take Lian Shouxin over and say a few words, and then asked Lian Shouxin to lead the way, and the group came to the ground.
When Shen Liu and others got off the bus and got off the horse, Lian Man'er was ready and was waiting for Shen Liu to speak.
Shen Liu stood at the ground, first pointing at a large area of cornfield and letting all the officials who followed him take a look.
"... The day before yesterday I had written an urgent memorial to the court, just waiting for the approval of the Emperor Longsheng. I trusted the Emperor Longsheng's blessing. If this corn is really high, then my Ming Dynasty will no longer have hunger people..."
After saying this, all the officials nodded and agreed.
Shen Liu asked Lian Shouxin to ask questions again, and because Lian Man'er was also following him, he followed him together.
"No rituals." Seeing that they came over and pretended to bow, Shen Liu waved his hand, "This is outside, all etiquette should be simple."
Lian Man'er was eager to do it. In this era, people would kneel down and bow down at any time, but she was still a little uncomfortable. In the past, when they met Shen Liu, they mostly used private occasions and did not pay much attention to etiquette. Today's occasions are different. If you want to talk to Shen Liu, you have to bow down first. Fortunately, after Shen Liu said this, Lian Man'er was so happy that she only had a blessing.
"Sixth Master, please see if we collect sweet potatoes. This sweet potato can be eaten, but it is too hungry. The yield is higher than corn." Lian Man'er smiled. While speaking, Lian Man'er couldn't help looking behind Shen Liu, but he did not see Shen Xiaopang.
Today, Shen Liu's trip was completely business, and he brought many officials from Liaodong Prefecture, which was inconvenient to bring Shen Xiaopang's little tail with him. Thinking back to the fact that he was in the shop just now, Manager Zhong also mentioned it specifically, saying, "Jiu Ye is very unhappy and is getting angry at home."
I don’t know how Shen Xiaopang got angry at home. Lian Man'er thought that if he was lying on the ground and rolling around, his round appearance would be true. Just thinking about it, she couldn’t help laughing.
The officials following Shen Liu were all watching Lian Man'er at this time, and they were surprised. The person who spoke was a little girl from a farmhouse, wearing an ordinary half-old jacket and skirt. However, she was in her teens, but she was already in a state of beauty and unparalleled voice. She spoke with a crisp voice without any delay. Although facing these people, the girl's father was a little scared, but the girl was neither humble nor arrogant, and had no timidity at all, which was really rare.
Shen Liu glanced at Lian Man'er, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then returned to normal, just nodding at Lian Man'er and the others.
Lian Shouxin immediately took Wulang, Xiaoqi, Lin Ashui, Xiao Shitou and others to open the sweet potato seedlings and start digging sweet potatoes.
Lian Man'er, Zhang, Lian Ye'er, and Zhao carried the baskets and followed them to pick up sweet potatoes in the basket.
After a while, about one-third of the sweet potato field was digging, and four or five large baskets were filled with sweet potatoes. Lian Shouxin and others carried the baskets one by one, and weighed them in front of Shen Liu and everyone.
Xiaoqi took a picture and stood beside him. When Lian Man'er reported the numbers, he moved the abacus beads and added them up one by one.
"A total of 327 kilograms." Xiaoqi used a slightly milky voice to report the last number loudly.
Shen Liu narrowed his eyes slightly, and among the officials following him, several people exclaimed in amazement. The villagers who were standing a little far away were even more sensational.
