house life

"Mom, what do you and dad think about Jing'er's marriage?"

Zhou Damei listened to Shu Xianfang's words and looked at him: "Have you met the right person outside?"

Shu Xianfang shook his head quickly: "Mom, no one I know outside is suitable to be our uncle."

"Your father and I are also in a dilemma regarding Jing'er's marriage, and there is no suitable family nearby.

I told your Aunt Wang and asked her to help find suitable people. "

Shu Xianfang nodded in agreement: "Jing'er knows embroidery, and can read, write, and calculate. It would not be a good thing to marry into a completely illiterate family."

“Nowadays, people who are illiterate don’t dare to come to our house to propose marriage.

Ming'er is the master of civil education, so naturally his sister will not marry an illiterate person. "

When Shu Xianfang heard Zhou Damei's words, he immediately beamed: "Ming'er will become a Jinshi in two years, and our Jing'er's status will rise even more."

"No, Jing'er can't wait another two years to get married. Your third aunt told me that even Jing'er won't wait two years to get married."

"Yes, I forgot, Jing'er is one year older than Jing'er.

She is going to get married this year. Do her third uncle and her third aunt have any thoughts about Jing'er's marriage? "

"Your third aunt is more anxious than me. She said that Jing'er is not as sensible as Jing'er, so she must choose a generous family to live in."

Shu Xianfang thought about his brothers and sisters, who were all making trouble for the elders in the family. When he thought about his three treasures, he suddenly had no idea of ​​having another one.

He knew to some extent what his parents were thinking. He could only try to persuade Wang Zhi about such a matter, but he didn't dare to tell his parents openly because he didn't want to cause trouble to his fourth son.

It's a pity that Wang Zhi listened to his words and asked with the same sadness: "You have fallen in love with someone else outside, so you don't want me to give you a child?"

"No, I just saw that the elders are entangled in the marriage of their brothers and sisters. They are a little worried that if they give birth to a daughter, they will have to worry about her getting married after they grow up."

"This is not a matter of course. As elders, we always have to worry about such big things.

Even if we give birth to a daughter, as long as you educate her well, you don't have to worry about her not being able to find her husband.

When she grows up, you, as a father, will definitely have a more discerning eye. "

Shu Xianfang sighed: "My daughter who was raised well will end up working for someone else's family. The more I think about it, the more unhappy I feel."

Wang Zhi said unhappily: "I am also someone else's daughter. Now that I am marrying you and raising children for you, my parents will not greet you with a smile when they see you."

When a woman reaches a certain age, she always wants to get married.

If you really can't let go of your sisters, try to find a good marriage for them. "

Shu Xianfang shook his hand: "I can't do this job. All the suitable people I know are married, and only the ones who are not suitable for our sisters are left."

Shu Xianfang's original worries were completely dissipated now. If he continued talking, Wang Zhi was ready to turn his back on him.

On the second day, Shu Ling received the considerate treatment from her elder brother. She enjoyed it very much at first, but as the time went on for a little longer, she felt a little nervous.

She took the opportunity to go into the kitchen and quietly asked Wang Zhi: "Sister-in-law, did you and my elder brother quarrel?"

"No, your eldest brother and I won't quarrel." Wang Zhi answered her, and Shu Ling rubbed her hands together: "But there is something wrong with my eldest brother today. He treated me very well before, but he was extra good today.

If I were younger, I would worry that he would feed me the food himself. "

After hearing Shu Ling's words, Wang Zhi also felt that something was wrong with Shu Xianfang, and followed Shu Ling out of the kitchen.

Sure enough, Shu Xianfang was already waiting at the gate of the yard to send his sisters to work in the shop.

Wang Zhi took a deep breath and said to him: "Dad Baoer, the three Baoers are about to wake up at this time. I have to work in the kitchen. You go and see them."

In fact, Zhou Damei had already gone to see the three treasures, but Wang Zhi felt that Shu Xianfang should be allowed to see the three treasures more so that his mind would not be obsessed with the fact that his sisters were about to get married.

Shu Xianfang could only watch the backs of his sisters go away. He turned back and entered the courtyard gate and said to Wang Zhi, "I am going away in the spring. When I come back, they will be one year older."

"Well, you are right. The three babies are one year older. Next spring, the eldest baby will go to school."

Wang Zhizhen was not using her sons to compete with her sisters-in-law for favor. She was just worried that Shu Xianfang was too nervous about her sisters-in-law's attitude, which would lead to misunderstandings from outsiders.

My sisters-in-law are all of good character and have good reputations, but we can't let our confused eldest brother make outsiders more suspicious.

At night, Wang Zhi broke down the truth behind this and told Shu Xianfang: "The atmosphere in our town is good, they go to fabric shops, and most of the people who come and go are women.

You just want to take them there for a few days. Next spring, do you still want to go out and do some work? "

Shu Xianfang covered his chest and said, "When Yu'er and the others got married, I was able to accept the reality. I don't know why I ended up here with Yi'er Jing'er, but I was so reluctant to let go."

"Because you are too free now. If you have such free time, go to the city and take a look at the goods you will take with you next spring."

In the evening, Shu Ling and his party came back. At the intersection, they did not see Shu Xianfang and his son. They only saw three Bao'er at the entrance of the yard.

The sisters breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. With their eldest brother staring at them like this every day, they didn't dare to make a loud noise even if they were panting, just for fear of being greeted by their eldest brother's concern.

Shu Jing asked Dabaoer: "What is your father busy with today?"

"Auntie, my father has gone to the city and will come back with his third grandfather."

Therefore, the three Shu Jing sisters were waiting at the entrance of the courtyard again. Today it was their turn to wait for someone.

When Shu Santie and Shu Xianfang came back, they saw the three adults and three children waiting at the door of the courtyard. Shu Santie smiled immediately.

"In the past few years, when Ling'er grew up, I didn't receive such first-class treatment. Today, thanks to you, there are so many people at the gate of the yard to pick me up and take me home."

Shu Xianfang blushed suddenly: "Third uncle, I will take you in a carriage tomorrow and wait for you to return home at the gate of the yard."

Shu Santie immediately waved his hand: "No, my family doesn't have to make such fuss. Once, I thought it was okay. If it happens again and again, can I still work as an errand outside with peace of mind?"

The three Baoers rushed over at this time. The eldest Baoer was the most sensible and knew how to reach out to hold Shu Santie's hand. He looked up and said to Shu Santie: "Third Grandpa, it's snowing and the road is slippery. You have to hold Dabao tight." Son’s hand.”

Shu Santie suddenly felt warm in his heart, and felt that his eldest son made people feel comfortable no matter where he looked.

When he saw Shu Ling, he felt that Dabao'er was much smarter than his sister-in-law.
