house life

Chapter 2

It was very lively under the old banyan tree, and everyone gathered around Zhu's grandparents and grandchildren to talk.

After finishing their official business, the old man and his wife of the Shu family looked at the lively crowd, and the two packed up their offerings and headed home.

Ten years ago, the mayor of Shuangjing Town obeyed the government's announcement and asked the townspeople to plant trees on both sides of the road. Now the trees have formed a shade for pedestrians to walk in the spring.

When the wind blows, the leaves make a soft sound, and the low-hanging branches seem to sway and say hello to passers-by.

Yang's heart was not going well, he stretched out his hand and broke a branch, and then waved it two or three times.

At the fork in the road, the old man of the Shu family who was walking in front stopped and said to the Yang family behind: "I will go and tell the name of Ling'er to the patriarch. Today is a good day, and I just asked the patriarch to officially register Ling'er on the family tree. .”

Yang handed over the offerings to the old man of the Shu family. If he wanted to ask the patriarch to handle important matters, he couldn't come empty-handed.

The old man of the Shu family walked to another road, and the Yang family continued to walk home. On the way, they met the neighbor women and casually mentioned Shu Qiya's name.

Everyone praised Shu Qiya, Shu Qiya's name is nice, and the days to come will be peaceful.

It's just that after Yang's family left, they inquired about each other's news, and no matter whether it was intentional or unintentional, they walked under the old banyan tree at the entrance of the town.

Yang returned home, told the name of Shu Qiya to the eldest daughter-in-law and the younger daughter-in-law, then looked around and asked, "Where is Qiya, where is it now?"

"Mother, she just made a fuss about going out to play, and I will coax her to play in the room now."

Gao Xiaorui and Yangshi explained Shu Qiya's whereabouts, Yangshi said after listening, "I'll go see her."

After the Yang family left, Zhou Damei hesitated and said: "Little brother and sister, I don't remember that mother gave Qiya the name before?"

Gao Xiaorui nodded, Zhou Damei thought for a while: "Little brother and sister, I'll go under the old banyan tree."

After Zhou Damei left, Gao Xiaorui gently closed the courtyard door, and she walked into the room.

"Zuzu, hehe, Sanhua and Xiaohua are good friends."

Shu Qiya's voice came out, Gao Xiaorui smiled, she liked the name Shu Ling.

Of course, the name Shu Xin is also good, but in one's life, how can one live comfortably in everything.

But as long as people are smarter, no matter what happens in the future, they can turn bad luck into good luck.

Zhou Damei came back from under the old banyan tree with a very unhappy expression on her face.

In the room, Gao Xiaorui sat on the sidelines watching the interaction between Yang's grandparents and grandchildren, Yang's eyes were full of smiles.

She looked up and saw Zhou Damei at the door, and after seeing her beckoning, she got up and left the door.

Zhou Damei dragged Gao Xiaorui to the backyard, and told Gao Xiaorui carefully what she heard under the old banyan tree.

She sighed quite a bit: "People from the Zhu family are very good at doing good deeds. If they really want to, come to the house in the morning and say something, and our family will also remember the kindness of the Zhu family."

Gao Xiaorui suddenly understood why the Yang family didn't talk about the bustle under the old banyan tree when she came back.

She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I like the name Shuling. Qiya will be a smart and good boy in the future."

Zhou Damei always thought that Shu Santie and his wife were big-hearted people, and now they didn't have any unexpected reaction after listening to her words.

Zhou Damei looked around, and said with some emotion: "After Uncle Zhu's absence, in the past few years, Aunt Zhu's behavior has always been confusing.

After being ill for a while, Yun girl now has a reputation as a semi-psychic.A half-grown girl with such a reputation, think about it, isn't it a good thing? "

Gao Xiaorui understands the meaning of Zhou Damei's words, generally a sophisticated family would not dare to marry a woman with such a reputation into the house.

Gao Xiaorui was still thinking about the kindness of the old man of the Zhu family who reported the news back then, and she said to Zhou Damei: "No matter what, we husband and wife still have to think of Miss Yun.

When the three irons come back, we will send a gift to Zhu's house in the evening to thank them. "

"You husband and wife, you can always remember the kindness of others for a long time, even if it's just incidentally, you can also remember this kindness.

These years, during festivals and festivals, you have always sent gifts to Zhu's family, and there is not much difference between you and serious relatives. "

"Sister-in-law, there is still a difference. Proper relatives will often come and go, and we usually don't go to Zhu's house, and now the juniors also talk about their friendship."

Zhou Damei laughed all of a sudden, the old couple of the Shu family and the old couple of the Zhu family belonged to the same generation, if they were based on this, Zhu Dashan was more than ten years older than Shu Date, they should also be of the same generation.

However, Brother Zhu Dashan has never regarded Brother Shu Datie as an equal, and Brother Shu Datie did not want to take advantage of Brother Zhu Dashan, so they each acquiesced to the different names of the younger generation.

"Ten years ago, Uncle Zhu's family heard the news in the city. He told many people the good news, but only the third brother lived up to his expectations and was admitted to the Ministry of Industry with his own ability.

Your eldest brother and second child both went to take the test, they didn't pass the first test. "

Ten years ago, when the Daxing Dynasty was established and the government was in need of employing people, Mrs. Zhu heard the news in the city. He and many people in Shuangjing Town said: "For us ordinary people, this is a change. A great opportunity for a family."

The people in Shuangjing Town are all ordinary people, and everyone cherishes this opportunity very much.

Many young people in Shuangjing Town went to the city to take the official examination. Only Shu Santie, who knew how to read and write, and had some skills in blacksmithing, successfully entered the Ministry of Industry as a job.

The young people of the Zhu family also went to the city to take the exam, but their luck was not very good, and the ones who walked the farthest also passed the final exam.

After Shu Santie went to work in the city, Fang knew the lofty goal of the young people of the Zhu family. They wanted to compete for official positions with the scholars from the wealthy families in the city.

In the evening, Shu Santie jumped out of the carriage and set a time with the coachman for the next day's trip.

Along the way, many people greeted him: "Shu Laosan, your Linger is three years old today, you can also eat some delicious dishes along with him."

Shu Santie was stunned for a moment, suspecting that others had given the wrong name, but he walked forward a few steps, and everyone he met congratulated him so much.

He talked to the people he met with a smile on his face, and said with a smile, when he left the city gate today, the car was crowded with people.

After Shu Santie returned home, he found an opportunity to ask the old man of the Shu family about the situation. After hearing what the old man of the Shu family said, he smiled and said: "Father, everyone has written down Ling'er's name. I think this name is better. It's a good name for a long life."

The old man of the Shu family nodded with a smile and said: "The patriarch also said that this name is better. He said that scholars always want to achieve perfection. In fact, the name of ordinary people does not need to be good for everything."

Yang's original unhappiness completely dissipated after hearing the patriarch's words from the old master of the Shu family.

Now she is going to the kitchen to prepare the gifts for Shu Santie and his wife to Zhu's house.
