Time travel is not a slave

Chapter 4 Replacement
"Grandma is gone, we still have a second child!"

Jiang Shi said eagerly.

"My mother told me since I was a child that this person's horoscopes are not compatible, so you can't get along well. You must get along well in order to get along well. Husband, think about it, why is the mother-in-law indifferent to everyone, even her grandson? See, only so close to the second child?"

Shen Zhaokun followed Jiang's train of thought, "You mean?"

"That's right, husband, tell me, when the second child was a child, she couldn't talk or laugh, so why did the mother-in-law fall in love with her? It must be because of her horoscope, and she was born to be compatible. Just like me, I was born at odds with my second child." , It's not that I'm mean as a mother, but it's God's will, there's no way."

Jiang Shi had already found an excuse for her partiality to make her feel at ease. She never thought that after she gave birth to her eldest daughter and her first daughter, she was looking forward to giving birth to a son day and night. Then she angered the second child, and refused to take good care of her during the confinement period, so her mother-in-law Xie took action and took the second child to raise him.

Time is really a double-edged sword. It will make people with a guilty conscience forget their mistakes and live with peace of mind, and it will also make people who have thoughts miss them even more.

Jiang forgot the original reason, and only put his own thoughts on her mother-in-law, became more and more excited, approached her husband, and whispered, "Husband, you don't know, today I came back from the outside, and the second child is here." Looking at the flowers in the yard, everyone said that whoever raises them is up to him. When the mother-in-law passed away, the second child was only six years old, and they said that children only remember things when they are seven years old. You said, she has been with us for so many years, and she is still alive with her mother-in-law It’s the same as before, isn’t this a natural match? What’s the look of the second child, exactly the same as my mother-in-law, when I saw it suddenly today, I felt guilty, as if carved out of the same mold as my mother-in-law!”

Jiang shi frowned as she said this, and she still felt a little uncomfortable. The awe she had had for her mother-in-law for many years was engraved in her bone marrow, which made her unable to get close to her daughter who was more and more similar to her mother-in-law. Yesterday was the birthday of the second child. In fact, she knew that Even if she pushes the worst snack in the house to the second child, she will be happy for a long time, after all, she is a child, so it is easy to coax, but in the end she didn't say this, and watched the light in the second child's eyes go out , this feeling gave her the pleasure of successfully revenge on her mother-in-law.As for her daughter's disappointment, she just felt uncomfortable for a moment, so she didn't take it to heart. Anyway, her daughter didn't kiss her, so she didn't have to worry about her.

When Shen Zhaokun heard Jiang's analysis, he clearly knew that Jiang was beautiful and had no brains, and her statement didn't have any reliable basis, but he was still convinced in his heart.

During the three years since his parents passed away, silk and satin village has been going from bad to worse. Seeing his parents running the business before, he always thought it was a very simple thing, isn't it just buying and selling?As the money flowing in the shop is getting less and less, not only has he not earned any money in the past three years, but he has used his family savings to supplement the shop. Seeing winter, the light and thin fabrics in the shop should have been removed from the shelves long ago. Thick fabrics came to sell, but Shen Zhaokun was dragging his feet day by day, not because he didn't want to buy them, but because he didn't make any money from the summer batch of tulle fabrics, so he didn't have any money left to buy them.If they use the last savings from the family to buy goods, if at the end of the year, like last year, the goods are not sold much and the money is used up, then the six members of their family will not be able to make it through the new year, so they can only go out to beg for food with a shop full of goods. went.

Shen Zhaokun also went to the doctor in a hurry, and when he heard his wife's words, he nodded indiscriminately, "Then let Shi Yi follow me to the shop this afternoon."

"Today?" Jiang was surprised, "Is it so urgent? The second child is at home all day, disheveled, I will give her a bath and change her clothes today, and go tomorrow."

Shen Zhaokun has relied on his parents for many years, and he has no decisive power at all. Now that Jiang suggested that his second child's horoscope is good, Shen Zhaokun has a glimmer of hope in his heart. His parents have nothing to rely on. He wants to rely on his daughter's horoscope to improve his business, so he brings After finally finding the eagerness to "rely on" again, he glanced at his daughter-in-law dissatisfied, "Even if you don't like Shi Yi, don't treat her too much. She is a lady who cooks and cleans all day long. What does she look like at home? Is there anyone here?"

Jiang shi listened to her husband's complaints, curled her lips and slandered inwardly, you only give such a small household for a month, how can you still support servants?But he obediently agreed, "I didn't ask the second child to do anything. When I was a child, I was caught outside the house. She was nine years old. I just asked her to help light the fire and wash the dishes. You know, I won't let her do it today." She did it, all right!"

Shen Zhaokun didn't feel sorry for his daughter, but felt dissatisfied that he couldn't bring her to the shop right away, and now that Jiang's word was prevaricating him, he didn't say any more, and only waited for tomorrow to give him the time to clean up. It brought good luck.

Shen Shiyi, who was lighting a fire in the kitchen, didn't know that she was about to be pushed out by her mother to be a lucky boy.If she can't follow her parents' expectations and bring fortune to the shop, what awaits her is not only her mother's unhappiness as usual, but also her father's disappointment, and her future situation may be even worse than now.

Shen Shiyi didn't refute being ordered by Mrs. Ma to bring the food to the main room.

Sometimes the little things that are easy for adults are very difficult for children.Of course Mrs. Ma knows that children's hands are tender, and hot dishes with pot gas will burn them, but the momentary guilt and humbleness she faced with her wife just now twisted her heart. She just wanted to torture Shen Shiyi. Who told you to be your wife's daughter? , and not favored?You deserve it for your mother!

Shen Shiyi didn't say much, but picked up the plate full of steaming dishes and walked steadily towards the main room.

In Shen Shiyi's memory, all the objects in the Shen family's home were carefully selected by his grandmother, just like the porcelain plates in his hands, not the thin plates that ordinary people use, but custom-made, with thick fetal feet, which look It is very elegant, and it is said that this is the style she often used when she was in her natal family.

But now the plate made by this grandmother is now in the hands of her most beloved granddaughter. Shen Shiyi's slender fingers have used all their strength at this time, the joints have begun to turn white, and the heat has steamed through the plate. At first, she felt the heat was hot, but Shen Shiyi didn't show it at all. The patience of an adult came into play at this time, and she steadily put the plate on the table.

Shen Zhaokun, who was sitting in the main seat waiting to eat, saw Shen Shiyi coming in with dishes, and thought that her "horoscope" might be the only chance for Shen's silk and satin shop. The child no longer has a living, and a "kind" smile appeared on Shen Zhaokun's face.

When the daughter put the plate on the table, Shen Zhaokun held his father's shelf, stroked the long beard that he kept specially, and greeted Shen Shiyi, "Shi Yi is really capable, and he is getting more and more handsome when working at home. Not stable, but now I have grown a lot.”
