house life

Chapter 22 Future
"Go, Fifth Sister, my eldest brother praised me, saying that when I learn more characters, he will teach me how to write after the Chinese New Year."

Shu Ling was full of joy, and Shu Can and Shu Jing exchanged glances.

They were a little older, and heard about the arrangements made by the elders in the family for Shu Xianfang's marriage.

After the new year, Shu Xianfang was one year older, and his family had prepared a place for him. His in-laws' family obviously couldn't afford to give their daughter a dowry.

Shu Xianfang prepares the furniture in the room by himself, and he probably doesn't have much free time to teach Shu Ling how to write.

It's just that they saw the joy on Shu Ling's face, and thought that Shu Xianfang treated Shu Ling differently. The sisters smiled and congratulated Shu Ling, and told her to listen carefully to what her elder brother said.

Shu Ling said very straightforwardly: "I know, everyone should listen to what Big Brother says."

Shu Can and Shu Jing exchanged glances, Shu Jing asked Shu Ling: "Who brought you back?"

"Brother, my aunt wants to talk to my brother, but my brother said to send me back first."

Shu Can and Shu Jing looked at each other and laughed, they vaguely guessed what the auntie was going to say to Shu Xianfang.

The candle was flickering, Shu Ling remembered something, and soon saw Shu Can's side, and moved closer: "Second Sister, someone is here to inquire about you."

Shu Can sat up straight at once: "Ling'er, what kind of person are you?"

"The woman with the red flower on her head, I ignored her. Mother said, tell me not to talk to people I don't know outside, and don't just praise Second Sister casually."

Shu Jing somewhat understood some things, she said anxiously: "Second Sister, you and your mother can go talk."

Shu Can said very calmly: "Mother knows it well. After the elder sister got married, she didn't go home for a long time."

Shu Ling reached out and hugged Shu Can's arm: "Second Sister, if you don't get married, you stay at home."

Shu Can said with a smile: "Okay, listen to Linger, the second sister will not marry."

Shu Ling suddenly became happy, and Shu Jing glanced at her: "Little fool."

Shu Ling was upset: "Fifth Sister scolded someone."

Shu Jing quickly coaxed her: "Fifth Sister is scolding someone else, Fifth Sister dare not scold you, you are the smartest and cutest child in the family."

Shu Ling said quite proudly: "Father also praised me like this, saying that I am the cutest, the smartest, the best-behaved, and the most caring."

Hearing what she said, Shu Can looked at Shu Jing's face worriedly, but saw her smile brightly: "Father used to praise me like this, and Second Sister also like this, and it's not just you, you are so happy." so long."

"Hmph, dad doesn't praise you now, he only praises me."

Sure enough, a child's mouth is sometimes the sharpest soft knife in the world.

Shu Can stretched out her hand to cover half of her face, Shu Ling looked up and said, "Second Sister, your face hurts, let me breathe out for you."

She directly grabbed Shu Can's arm and stood up, exhaled with her mouth facing Shu Can's face, and sprayed the saliva directly on Shu Can's hand.

Shu Can hurriedly wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and took Shu Ling to one side to sit down: "Ling'er, don't spit at me, my face doesn't hurt."

Shu Ling stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth, and said very proudly: "Father said, he worked hard outside all day, and if I breathe a few breaths for him at night, he won't work hard.

Second sister, I just exhaled for you a few times, and your face really doesn't hurt anymore. "

Shu Can could only agree with Shu Ling's words with a wry smile. Shu Ling was too young. If she said that her face had never hurt, she was worried that Shu Ling would ask her, why did she cover her face with her hands?
Shu Ling likes to be with her two sisters very much. They are talking together, and she sits by and looks at their picture albums.

In fact, Shu Jing has been paying attention to Shu Ling, and she is worried that she will tear up their embroidery book.

Shu Ling raised her eyes to look at Shu Jing, and pointed at the pattern with her finger: "It looks good, Fifth Sister, I want it."

Shu Jing said unhappily: "You are small, but you have a good eye. If I can embroider this flower, I can also be a teacher to take over the job."

Shu Can smiled and said, "Ling'er's eyesight is as good as your fifth sister's. When your fifth sister was the same age as you, she also liked this kind of flower the most."

Shu Ling said a little proudly: "When I grow up, I can draw any flowers my sisters like."

"You little braggart, you can't even write, so you just want to paint. Okay, in a few years, I'll see what you can draw."

Shu Jing originally wanted to tell the truth, but when she showed Shu Can a look, she immediately changed her mind.

Shu Can coaxed Shu Ling at this time: "Ling'er, it's getting late. Mom and Dad must miss you, I'll take you to Mom and Dad's room, let's go."

Originally, when Shu Ling turned three years old, she could sleep in a room alone, but Shu Santie and his wife were not worried about the sleeping position of their daughter, so they wanted to keep her in their room for one more year.

Shu Ling stretched out her hand to Shu Can, and let Shu Can hug her. She lay on Shu Can's shoulder and waved her little hand at Shu Jing: "Fifth Sister, see you tomorrow, you miss me."

"Yes, I will miss you." Shu Jing replied casually.

Shu Can sent Shu Ling to her parents' room, sat down and said a few words to her parents, and then she got up and left the room.

Outside the door, she heard Shu Ling's cheerful laughter, and heard Shu Santie laughing and joking: "Ling'er, you little rascal, you still haven't climbed off your father."

"No, no, Qi Ya likes Dad the most."

"Come down, your father has worked hard all day, don't tire your father."

"Father Ling'er, don't let her make trouble, she is not young now."

"Oh, let's talk about it next year. She is still young this year."

Shu Can walked into her room, and when Shu Jing saw her come back, she smiled and said, "She has a lot of problems here, which is annoying, and her small mouth is too good at talking."

"I will say yes, we don't have to worry about her being bullied outside."

"Second Sister, have you talked to Mother yet?"

"No. Dad is in the room. Let's go tomorrow. I'll ask Mom tomorrow. At my current age, Mom and Dad won't tell me about marriage."

Gao Xiaorui asked Shu Can some things in private, and also said that the family was reluctant to marry her away, and would not let her marry into someone else's family to suffer.

When Shu Yu married in the past, her aunt also thought the same way, but Shu Yu married into a small official's family with many rules, and she couldn't go back to her mother's house for a year or so.

In the embroidery shop, Shu Can heard a lot of things said. She hoped that her future husband's family would be generous.

Shu Can's thoughts, no one can tell, can only hide in his heart.

As the night darkened, the Shu family's courtyard became dark, and the surrounding houses also lost light.

The moon hangs high in the sky, reflecting the joys and sorrows of the world.

That night, Shu Ling slept soundly.

After waking up in the morning, she saw Shu Santie on the bed, with a face full of joy, she rolled directly to his side, and when she reached out to pull the quilt, she held Gao Xiaorui's little hand.

"Don't quarrel with your father, let him sleep for a while."

Gao Xiaorui said in a low voice, and stretched out her hand to Shu Ling.
