house life

Chapter 23 Hope
Gao Xiaorui hugged Shu Ling and left the room. When the mother and daughter went outside, the wind was so fast that Gao Xiaorui squinted her eyes.

Shu Ling buried her face in Gao Xiaorui's arms all of a sudden: "Mother, there is sand."

Gao Xiaorui moved her body back a little nervously, and looked down at her daughter: "Did you get sand in your eyes?"

"No. My face hurts when the wind blows."

Gao Xiaorui thought about her daughter's tender face, she really couldn't stand too much wind and rain, so she comforted her immediately: "You hide."

Shu Ling surged in Gao Xiaorui's arms a few times, Gao Xiaorui reached out and patted her little butt, and then she calmed down.

Gao Xiaorui's mother and son went to the front yard, Zhou Damei stood in the yard looking up at the sky, Gao Xiaorui looked at the sky curiously, lowered her head and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"

"At this time of year, the wind is so strong. I feel a little weird. I can't see any changes when I look at the sky."

"Sister-in-law, there are dark clouds in the sky, which are thicker than usual. Wait for a while, it should rain."

"It's raining, I'll go out and buy some vegetables and come back."

Zhou Damei went into the kitchen, carrying a bamboo basket, and hurried out of the yard.

Gao Xiaorui put her daughter down: "Ling'er, go find your grandmother."

She hurriedly followed out of the courtyard door: "Sister-in-law, I'll go shopping with you."

She turned her head and waved her fist at Shu Ling who came out, "Qi Ya, hurry back."

Shu Ling retracted her head obediently, and after waiting for a while, she poked her head out to look again, Zhou Damei's sister-in-law had already gone away.

Shu Ling stood at the gate of the yard, and the wind was very strong. She followed the wind naughtily, and started to play with her small body crooked.

Yang Shi heard Gao Xiaorui's words in the room, but she never waited for Shu Ling, so she went out of the room to have a look.

There was no one in the yard, she looked up and saw the small figure at the gate of the yard, who was blown unsteadily by the wind, and trotted over quickly, only to find that it was Shu Ling who was playfully playing in the direction of the wind.

Unhappily, she tapped Shu Ling with her hand: "You are too skinny, skinier than your brothers and sisters."

When Shu Ling saw Yang Shi, he said excitedly, "Grandma, it's so much fun, you don't need to work hard."

Yang looked at her with some headaches: "Ling'er, the wind is weak for a while, you can play like this. The wind is strong, you little person will be blown down by the wind."

Shu Ling stretched out her hand to Yang Shi, raised her head and asked Yang Shi: "Grandma, is Ling'er's face dirty?"

Yang wiped her face with her hands: "It's dirty, let's go, I'll go back and wash your face, and then apply a layer of fragrant cream on you."

"Okay." Shu Ling exclaimed happily.

After Shu Santie woke up, there was no sound in his yard, so he stretched out his hands and stretched.

It was dark outside, he listened to the wind, and chose to lie on the bed for a while.

Their department is very busy these days, he drives the first carriage into the car almost every day, stops late and takes the last carriage out of the city gate.

When I was at home at night, I didn't dare to really relax and reflect on what I did during the day.

Gao Xiaorui came in from the outside, saw Shu Santie lying on the bed, and reminded: "It's getting late, it looks like it's going to rain heavily outside.

My sister-in-law and I just went to the market to buy some vegetables, what do you want to eat?I'll cook it for you later. "

Shu Santie really likes to hear Gao Xiaorui talk about family affairs. No matter what kind of things he faces outside, as long as he comes home and someone talks to him about the family affairs, he feels that all the sacrifices are worth it.

"No, I'll lie down for a while. Let's have lunch together later. The sky is so dark, will the children come back at noon?"

"When we went to the market to buy vegetables, we had already gone to the embroidery shop and the school to say hello, and they don't have to come back for lunch at noon."

"Okay, where is Linger now?"

"She was with her parents in the front yard, and now her father is teaching her to recognize numbers."

"I never imagined that Dad would be such a patient person who would be willing to teach Ling'er these things."

Gao Xiaorui laughed: "Mother said, it's because their grandparents and grandchildren have hit each other. If Linger is with Dad, Dad is willing to sit at home for a while."

The old man of the Shu family is a person who can't be idle. After he doesn't go to the blacksmith shop to do chores, and after he comes back, he never really spends time at home. He always finds something for himself to do.

He went hunting with others, of course he didn't gain anything, but he was happy.

After Shu Date persuaded him several times, he let the old man of the Shu family act willfully.

As a result, the old man of the Shu family was not interested in going up the mountain, and turned to learn carpentry from others, so there were some weird-shaped benches in the house.

The children like the things made by the old man of the Shu family very much, especially Shu Ling likes the small bench made by the old man of the Shu family.

The old man of the Shu family soon lost interest in carpentry. He now likes to play chess, but his chess skills are really not very good, but he is particularly addicted to chess.

This time the Shu family especially supported the hobbies of the old man of the Shu family. Shu Santie even specially bought a chess book for the old man of the Shu family, but the old man of the Shu family humbly abandoned it.

"Third son, are you looking down on your father's decades of wisdom by buying me a beginner's chess book?"

Shu Santie quickly explained: "Father, you are a man of great wisdom, and you blame your son for not being smart.

The book I asked the young man in the book store to help me choose, I said it was a beginner, but my father is already amazing at chess now, so he doesn't even need this chess book.

Father, I will learn by myself, and strive to learn this chess book as soon as possible, so that in the future, I will be able to deal with people like chess, taking one step and watching three moves. "

After Shu Santie got back the chess record, he turned his head and said to Shu Date, "Brother, Dad still has some talent for chess."

"The old club said that Dad is actually a very smart person, but after he has learned the superficial, he has no interest in further studies."

"Brother, forging iron is different. Forging iron is a labor of strength. Dad and we are not born with great strength. If he really wants to continue, I'm afraid he will no longer be able to do it in middle age."

Shu Datie understood what Shu Santie said, he had been working in the blacksmith's shop for so many years, but he had never been able to be a master craftsman because of his lack of strength.

Brothers Shu Date hoped that their son would no longer have to do such hard work in this generation, but in the past few years, life at home was hard, and Shu Xianfang and Shu Xian brothers in Shu Date's family were sensible. Determined to come out and learn a craft.

Now Shu Ertie's eldest son, Shu Xianzhong, is already learning from his uncle's family. Only Shu Xianli and Shu Xianzhi are still studying in the school.

There are three sons in Shu Santie's house, the eldest son Shu Xianming has gone to study in the city, and Shu Xianxi and Shu Xianqi are young and still studying in the school in the town.

Brother Shu Santie hoped that these five children would continue to study, even if only one of them could succeed in studying in the future, it would give them the hope that the Shu family could really change their family status.
