Chapter 73 The Old Father's Worries
That night, the lights in the small courtyard of the Shen family stayed on until the early hours of the morning.

Grandpa Shen drank a lot of wine, he was drunk, but he didn't seem to be drunk.

After seeing off Lin Hongxi and the others, the old man sat in the yard alone in a daze.

Grandma Shen frowned and scolded: "Hurry up and go back to the house to rest after drinking, if you blow the cool breeze, you will have a headache again tomorrow!"

Grandpa Shen seemed not to hear, lying on the bamboo chair, not moving or speaking.

Grandma Shen was angry and helpless, she glared at the old man, and shouted for Shen Xiu to come and help.

"Axiu, your father drank too much, come and let us take him back."

Shen Xiu was washing the dishes, when she heard the voice of greeting, she trotted over quickly.

"Father, let me help you go back and rest."

Hearing Shen Xiu's voice, Grandpa Shen, who had been in a daze all along, reacted.

He slowly turned his head to look at Shen Xiu, and said with a smile: "Axiu, dad is happy today, happy.

We are finally separated from that beast that killed a thousand knives. This is a good thing, a great good thing! "

Shen Xiu responded according to his words: "Yes, yes, it is a good thing, a great good thing."

Smiling and laughing, Grandpa Shen suddenly started to cry again.

He held Shen Xiu's hand, and couldn't help crying, "Axiu, how are you going to go..."

The old couple had always supported Shen Xiu's divorce, but when Shen Xiu really got divorced, they began to worry about her future again.

A divorced woman has no home, no one to rely on, how will she live in the future...

"As long as dad lives, he can take care of you for a day. But dad is old, and he won't have a good life for a few years. What will you do when dad is gone?"

The more Grandpa Shen spoke, the more sad he became. At the end, he covered his face and began to cry.

Grandma Shen and Shen Xiu couldn't help crying after being treated like this by him.

Shen Qiuqiu and Song Na, who were tidying up in the main room, heard the movement and ran out quickly.

The three people in the yard hugged each other and cried very sadly, Shen Qiuqiu understood after hearing a few words.

She stepped forward to help Grandpa Shen up, and said with a straight face: "Grandpa, don't say such unlucky words, both you and grandma will live a long life."

Grandpa Shen saw the figure standing in front of him clearly, took Shen Qiuqiu's hand and confessed: "Xiaohua, you are the most promising child in our old Shen family. Grandpa knows you are capable. What will I do with your grandma in the future? Xiaoshu and your aunt will be taken care of by you."

Shen Qiuqiu is now willing to take care of and help Shen Xiu's mother and daughter. A large part of the reason is because of the face of the old couple. They both know that this is only for a while.

The old man was worried that if he left one day, Shen Qiuqiu would leave Shen Xiu alone, so he wanted a promise from her.

Grandma Shen, who was standing aside wiping her tears, saw that the old man was getting worse and worse, so she raised her hand and patted him on the back heavily.

"You are so old-fashioned! My Xiaohua is still a child, and you put such a heavy burden on her! You don't feel sorry for your granddaughter, but I do!"

After training the old man, Grandma Shen turned to Shen Qiuqiu and said: "Don't listen to your grandpa's nonsense, this family doesn't need you, a little doll, to carry it."

Shen Qiuqiu nodded, but didn't take it to heart.

After tossing around in the yard for a while, Grandpa Shen was supported by everyone and went back to the room.

That night, except for the drunk Grandpa Shen, the others didn't sleep well.

Holding 10 yuan in cash, Shen Xiu tossed and turned all night; Grandma Shen, who shared the same bed with her, naturally didn't sleep well.

In another room, Shen Qiuqiu also suffered from insomnia once in a while. She kept thinking about what her grandfather said, and tried to think about it from his perspective.

It is understandable for the old father to worry that his daughter's life will not be guaranteed in the future, but how to solve this problem?
Shen Qiuqiu thought about it all night, and didn't fall asleep until after four o'clock in the morning.

After seven o'clock, she was woken up by the sound of "bang bang bang" knocking on the door.

Song Na rubbed her sleepy eyes, pulled on her slippers to open the door, saw Shen Xiu standing outside, and couldn't help being shocked.

"Mom, did you become a thief last night?"

Shen Xiu didn't sleep all night, with a pair of panda eyes, she looked haggard, and she was really scary at first glance.

Holding a paper bag tightly in her arms, she asked Song Na in a low voice, "Is your sister awake? I have something to do with her."

Shen Qiuqiu in the room had already woken up. Hearing their conversation, she got up and put on a coat and walked to the door.

"Sister, come in and talk about something."

Shen Xiu didn't enter the house either, and only stuffed the paper bag in her arms into Shen Qiuqiu's arms, "You should hold the 10 yuan for me. I slept with it all night yesterday, and my heart was agitated." I can't sleep because I'm afraid it will be lost."

Although she was a little afraid of Shen Qiuqiu and felt that this niece was too powerful, she admired this niece very much from the bottom of her heart.

If it weren't for Shen Qiuqiu, she might have divorced without knowing why, and she wouldn't get any money.

Therefore, Shen Qiuqiu is in charge of the money, she is very relieved.

Shen Qiuqiu hugged the paper bag, neither saying yes nor no.

She asked Shen Xiu back, "Sister-in-law, what are your plans for the future?"

Shen Xiu's heart skipped a beat, and she was immediately stunned by the question, "Plan? What plan?"

Shen Qiuqiu didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "Grandpa and grandma are getting old, and they can't support you forever. You have to plan for your own future and find a profitable business."

Shen Xiu's eyes turned red in an instant, and she looked at Shen Qiuqiu with disbelief, "Little Hua, are you trying to drive me away? We orphans and widows don't know anything, where can I make a living?!

That's not what we said yesterday, why did you turn your face and deny people? "

Seeing her agitated, Shen Qiuqiu quickly comforted her: "Little aunt, I didn't mean that, this is also your home, how could I drive you away.

It's just that you don't have a source of income now, so you can't just sit and eat all the time, right? "

Shen Xiu nodded first, then shook her head, and said after a while, "But, I don't know anything..."

In today's society, as long as you are not lazy, you will not be hungry.

Shen Qiuqiu thought about it all night and thought of several ways out for Shen Xiu, so he happened to tell her at this time.

"I thought of a few ways out for you, you can see which one you think is suitable.

First, contract a few acres of land in our village, and I will take you to plant fruits together. The prospect of fruit planting is very good, not to mention making a lot of money, there should be tens of thousands of dollars in income a year.

Second, go to the town to start a small business, set up a stall to sell fruit or breakfast, although it is a bit hard, the profit is good.

Third, if you go to other provinces to work, you can earn 4000 yuan a month. "

After listening to Shen Xiu, she felt that none of them were suitable.

Contracting land to grow fruit and setting up a stall for business all require capital. She only has 10 yuan in hand, and she plans to keep this money for the elderly, and she doesn't want to spend a penny.

It is even more inappropriate to go to other provinces to work. People who are not familiar with the place of life outside will definitely have a hard time.
