Chapter 21 Autumn

"Mother, uncle, I'm not heavy." In Gao Xiaorui's arms, Shu Ling stretched out her hands to hug Zhou Damei.

Zhou Damei took Shu Ling into her arms, and said to Gao Xiaorui: "A child the size of a bench is really not heavy. In a few years, she will grow up, and I want to hug her, but she won't give me this chance."

"Auntie, I'll hug you all the time." Shu Ling hugged Zhou Damei's neck.

Gao Xiaorui listened to her little daughter's words, and stretched out her hand to pinch her little nose: "Your aunt treats you well, and you can't let your aunt hug you hard all the time."

Shu Ling immediately struggled to get off the ground, raised her head and said to Zhou Damei: "Uncle, I will hug you from now on."

"Bah. How many people can you hug as a child, don't talk nonsense."

Gao Xiaorui spoke out immediately, Zhou Damei looked at her and laughed: "Tongyan is innocent, and she is willing to get close to me, I am very happy in my heart."

Under the eaves, Yang stretched out her hand to greet Shu Ling: "Ling'er, come and talk with grandma, and let your mother and auntie get busy."

"Here we come, grandma." Shu Ling turned around and ran towards the roof.

"Slow down, slow down, grandma didn't go anywhere else." Yang hurriedly stopped the little granddaughter from running.

Shu Ling was already sweating profusely and ran to her side, hugged her legs with both hands, and said with a smile, "Grandma, I'll come when you call."

Zhou Damei smiled and said to Gao Xiaorui: "It's still early, I'm going to the vegetable field."

Gao Xiaorui followed her to the vegetable field to pick vegetables. On the way, she lamented that the children had grown up, and the yard seemed much quieter.

When the autumn wind blows, the Shu family's primary school is also moved to the main room, and the teaching hours are also shortened.

It's autumn, and the business of all the shops has started to improve. Sister Shu Can is busy working in the embroidery shop during the day, but when she comes back in the evening, she doesn't really want to study so much.

Only Shu Ling was particularly interested and willing to follow her brothers to study attentively. She gradually became more literate.

Brother Shu Xianfang originally only wanted to teach the sisters in the family to know some common characters, and they were not disappointed in sister Shu Can's performance.

As for Shu Ling's intelligence, they never really took it to heart. After all, Shu Ling is too young, and she doesn't know if she can remember what she remembers now.

Only the old man of the Shu family paid special attention to Shu Ling's ability to read, and thought he was the first to teach Shu Ling to recognize numbers.

On days like autumn, Brother Shu Xianfang also had more things to do, and the lecture time gradually became shorter.

When autumn was deep, Brother Shu Xianfang discussed with the elders in the family, and the primary school was officially closed. Brother Shu Xianfang said that the primary school will continue to open when the spring blossoms next year.

The Shu Can sisters could all accept this result, only Shu Ling was very upset, and chased Shu Xianfang and said, "Brother, I still want to learn how to read."

Shu Xianfang bent down and patted his little cousin's head: "Okay, if you want to learn, as long as your elder brother is at home, as long as you are free, I will teach you how to read."

Shu Ling was happy, and she turned around to tell Sister Shu Can the good news.

Seeing the bright light in her younger sister's eyes, Shu Can said with a smile, "Okay, you and elder brother can read more words. But when elder brother is busy, don't disturb elder brother."

After Shu Ling bounced away, Shu Jing pouted and said: "Second sister, we don't like to read and write, only the younger sister likes to read and write. She will not be able to go to school in the future. Knowing so many characters is also difficult. It's of no use."

"Jingya, don't listen to the gossip of the little girls in the shop, they are actually jealous of our brother's willingness to teach us how to read.

I think Linger is the smartest among our sisters, but unfortunately she is a girl. "

"Second sister, as long as Qiya goes out, she never comes home clean. She is young now, we praise her to coax her, just to make her less noisy, but second sister can't coax herself too .”

"The old people say that children who love to play are smart. Ling'er can play with many children in the town. She is naturally a smart child."

"Hmph, since I had my eighth brother and Qiya, my parents don't love me anymore. Second sister, you only miss my eighth brother and Qiya."

"Nonsense again, who said that parents don't love you. Last month when making clothes, it was all up to you to choose flower cloth. Ling'er doesn't have this special treatment."

"Mother definitely wouldn't dare to let Ling'er wear light-colored clothes. The fabric Mother chose for her made the clothes look good too."

"Jingya, if you must compare yourself with others to live a comfortable life, think about the life of the girls of the Liu family, will you feel more comfortable?
"Second Sister, Grandfather Liu and Grandmother Liu are the most patriarchal, and they think it is good enough to give them food, clothing and clothing.

San Niuniu told me that if she wanted to work in the embroidery shop, I would not dare to accept her.I was brought into the embroidery shop with generous gifts from my parents, so I asked her to talk to her parents. "

"You're smart. Among the girls in the Liu family, Sanniu is the smartest. She's almost 11 years old, and she came to bully you, a little girl.

Our family really has no control over the affairs of the Liu family.As long as no one died of starvation, the head of the village would not take care of the housework of the townspeople. "

"Second sister, Qiya and Liuniuniu have a good relationship, and you should also talk to Qiya to teach her not to accept Liuniuniu's affairs casually."

"Liu Niuniu is the most careless person in their family, but fortunately, Liu's grandmother still cares a little bit about Liu Niuniu.

Ling'er was looked after by her grandmother and mother. She was a heartless little girl, and no one else could fool her.

Qiya is the best at coaxing people among our sisters. You can see that she coaxes her grandfather to think of her when he goes in and out.It's also fortunate that she is a girl, otherwise the eldest brother would be sore in his heart.

If Liu Niuniu wanted to coax her, she would have to have an extra mouth. "

Shu Jing's mood is much better. On the one hand, she feels that her parents favor the two young ones too much, but the two young ones have always been close to the older brothers and sisters. In her heart, she is also willing to be close to the younger siblings.

Now that the second sister has said that her parents also care about her, she thinks about it carefully, every season's clothes, her parents always let the older ones choose the fabric first.

When Shu Santie brought food back from the city, he also asked the older one to eat a few more bites, while the younger ones were not allowed to be greedy.

When Shu Can saw Shu Jing's thoughts turned around, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, she understood some of Shu Jing's thoughts, and she could also understand the sourness in this sister's heart.

It's just that she is the eldest child of Sanfang, and she knew how to give in to her younger siblings since she was a child, and she also had to discipline the behavior of the younger siblings, lest her siblings fight in the nest and make the people around them laugh.

If Shu Jing didn't listen to outsiders' gossip, she wouldn't care about these things with her siblings.

It's just that outsiders talked too much, and she was not convinced in her heart, so she would say a few words of dissatisfaction to Shu Can.

Shu Ling came to find her sisters to play with, Shu Jing reached out and hugged her to sit on the small couch, and asked, "Have you gone to see elder brother to teach you how to read?"
