Chapter 5 Shop
Faced with his father's superficial praise, Shen Shiyi couldn't pretend to be the joy of a child when he was praised.Even if this cheap father asked her if her fingers hurt, she wouldn't even be able to make a perfunctory expression, Shen Shiyi thought, lowering her head to prevent the parents sitting in the seat from seeing her untimely indifference.

Shen Zhaokun didn't get a response, he was a little embarrassed, Jiang's next to him was dissatisfied, "Your father is talking to you, why are you lowering your head? Who in the family is bullying you?"

Jiang shi was habitually dissatisfied with Shen Shiyi, and the three children beside her just watched with open eyes without making a sound.The second child has been with her grandmother since she was a child, and they are not from the same country. In the past, the mother scolded the second child secretly, but now she just scolded the second child more openly in public. They are used to it.

Shen Zhaokun raised his hand to stop Jiang's reprimand, "Okay, Shi Yi is still young, isn't it normal to be shy? Shi Yi, come here and sit next to your father. After dinner, let your mother take a bath for you and change into a new one." Clothes, didn’t you beg me to take you to the shop to learn crafts a few days ago? Father will take you there tomorrow!”

Shen Zhaokun's words surprised Shen Shiyi. She suddenly raised her head and smiled at her father, "Thank you, father."

Although the pie in the sky might be a trap, but Shen Shiyi doesn't think about it so much now, as long as he can get out of the house.Under the hands of this mother who hated her for no reason all day long, she didn't know how long she could endure, and what she would do when she couldn't bear it.

Seeing her daughter's smile, Shen Zhaokun was also happy, "So you want to go to the shop to learn crafts? You know, it's the most comfortable at home. Going out to learn crafts, not only is it hard, but if you don't learn well, the master will beat you. You ask your sisters if they wish they were at home."

Shen Shiyi looked at the two girls on the opposite side. The older sister, Shen Baozhu, had an oval face, which was most similar to her mother. She had almond-shaped eyes and a fine nose, and was wearing a goose-yellow bijia. It turned out to be a beauty.The younger one, with black eyeballs revealing a different spirit, is the smartest in the family. As the second daughter in the family, Shen Shiyi is not liked by her mother, let alone the third child. She is still a daughter. If it wasn't for her mother being pregnant again not long after she was born, and when she went to burn incense in the temple, she was pointed out by an "expert" that this baby was a boy, and the mother was happy for a while, thinking that it was the younger brother brought by the third child, as the third in the family. Daughter, the life of the third child should be the hardest in the family.By the way, the third child's name, despite the objections of her in-laws, the mother firmly called Zhaodi.

The name "Zhaodi" was originally prepared by the Jiang family for Shen Shiyi.

Of Jiang's four children, the eldest, Shen Baozhu, was born when his parents had a strong relationship, so he is Jiang's and Shen Zhaokun's treasure, as can be seen from his name.

When it came to Shen Shiyi, because Jiang Shi went too far, her mother-in-law Xie had no choice but to intervene, took Shen Shiyi away, and named him herself.

The name "Shi Yi" means that she is not loved by her parents and has no backing. I hope that the little girl can focus on her own happiness and not be sad because of others' dislike.

Moreover, Jiang's only son, Shen Conghuan's name, was also married by his father-in-law in Shen Shiyi's name, and she was even more displeased with the idea of ​​"obeying the time and being happy in everything".

Because of these two reasons, the Jiang family never called Shen Shiyi's name.

The third child, Shen Zhaodi, did what Jiang wanted, and because she brought her younger brother, plus she was smart enough to flatter and take care of the only boy in the family, so life was not so difficult after all.

Shen Zhaodi has always been shrewd and knows that she has no backing at home. Dang even followed her father's words and looked at Shen Shiyi, "Yes, second sister, you don't know how envious my elder sister and I are that you can stay at home. Learn crafts in the shop In the beginning, my ten fingers never disappeared, they were swollen from needle sticks."

The third child held up his slender and somewhat red and swollen fingers for everyone to see, and the way he played tricks made everyone laugh.

Shen Zhaokun laughed and waved his hands, "You also said that your sister learned embroidery at the beginning, but she started in a month, and you can't settle down. After three months, you can still embroider yourself. Go to the shop later. Passing by Huichun Hall, I will buy you a bottle of ointment and apply it on, so that you won't even be able to grasp the cloth steadily in the future!"

After hearing this, Shen Zhaodi was overjoyed, "Thank you father, don't worry, father, I have the ointment, I must learn embroidery hard!"

The Shen family has had its own silk and satin shop since the grandmother's generation, and it is regarded as a rich family. Originally, it was planned to invite someone to teach embroidery to the girls in the family, but maybe it was because the only son could not support the family, so the grandmother went down. It is a rule to let the girls in the family go to the shop to learn crafts from the embroiderer after their sixth birthday, which also means to let the girls in the family see more of the world.

In Shen Shiyi's memory, her grandmother taught her to embroider since she was able to walk and speak. The first time she embroidered a duckling, she happily showed it to her grandmother. He said to her distressedly, "Shi Yi's hand has slender fingers and well-defined joints. It was born to write and play the piano. Now that you have the needle, I want you to learn some skills to live and live. When grandma is gone, writing and playing the piano are so elegant. It’s useless to do it, and you still have the real ability, so you don’t need to ask for help.”

At the beginning, Shen Shiyi didn't understand what her grandmother meant. She only knew that her grandmother asked her to practice embroidery, so she practiced seriously. I heard that the silk and satin factory at home was bought by her grandmother relying on her embroidery skills. Grandma is just as capable.

Jiang Shi and Shen Zhaokun seldom come to Shangfang. Naturally, they don't know that Shen Shiyi has long been enlightened by his grandmother and learned some basic embroidery techniques.

But now Shen Shiyi had never taken a needle, so he had to start from scratch.

It's ironic to say that Shen Zhaokun and Jiang shi, as parents, don't know what his daughter's original appearance was, but Shen Shiyi can play as he pleases.

After lunch, Shen Zhaokun took his two daughters to go out again, and Jiang went back to the house to lie down. She has been married to the Shen family for more than ten years, and she has already developed the habit of taking a nap.

Shen Shiyi was ordered to go to the kitchen to boil water, wash himself clean, and go to the shop tomorrow refreshed. As the hostess, don't embarrass the Shen family.

Shen Shiyi didn't care about the belittling in her mother's words, but went to the kitchen to boil water with joy, took a shower and washed her hair quickly, then sat on the porch, taking advantage of today's fine sun, to dry her long hair.

Holding a grate in his hand, he combed his long hair carefully. Shen Shiyi's eyes revealed vitality.

"Shi Yi, why are you so happy? Did Uncle Shen bring you delicious food?"

Zhong Chun didn't know when he slipped into the courtyard, looked at Shen Shiyi, and asked tentatively.

Shen Shiyi looked at Zhong Chun, who had calculating eyes, because he was so happy that he didn't feel disgusted in the morning, "It's nothing, there is half a steamed bun left in the kitchen, if you want to eat it, go get it quickly, when Mrs. Ma comes back soon." Gone."

Zhong Chun went to the kitchen quickly.

She knew that Shen's kitchen was cleaner than her own, and she didn't dare to take more things. She only took the steamed buns left on the pot and came out. While swallowing the steamed buns, she muttered dissatisfiedly, "There are only steamed buns, no snacks?" ?”
