house life

Shu Xianxiang didn't expect that his status in the family was so important, and he was surprised for a moment.

"Dad, if you don't worry about things at home, you can stay and guard the house next year, and my eldest brother and I will go on a long trip together."

"Your father is not old yet, and your little brat is going to take your father's job. If nothing is said about next year, you will still be responsible for the family."

Shu Dati was too lazy to quarrel with his second son. He didn't believe that Shu Xian had no idea. He was just pretending to be stupid.

This unlucky son, if he can give him another grandson next year, he will naturally be able to travel far away with everyone the year after that.

Shu Xianxiang sighed and went back to the room, shook his head at Lin Mei and said, "If our husband and wife don't have a son, my father will not let me travel far away."

In Lin Mei's heart, she was sometimes happy, sometimes worried, and sometimes wanted to give up. In short, her mood was ups and downs.

After a while, she and Shu Xianxiang said, "Let's pick a time when there are few people to pay homage to the ancestors of the old banyan tree and pray that the child will come as soon as possible."

If the couple had not given birth to a child, they might have no idea about children.

Shu Xianxiang thought for a moment and said, "Go in the morning. Normally, no one likes to go out in such heavy snowy weather."

Lin Mei nodded, and then said to Shu Xianxiang: "When you come back, go and take a look at the situation. If there is really no one, I will go with you to pay homage to the ancestors of the old banyan tree."

Shu Xianxiang nodded. He felt that the couple was sincere. This time, the ancestors of the old banyan tree would definitely give a satisfactory answer.

The next day, it was a windy and snowy day. Shu Xianxiang went out, thinking to himself, it was such a nice weather, and no one was walking outside for a while.

In the morning, Shu Xianxiang took time to go home, and Shu Ling happened to be sitting under the eaves embroidering something. When he saw Shu Xianxiang, he was very happy to greet him.

Shu Xianxiang hurriedly waved his hand at her, and Shu Ling reached out to cover her mouth and asked silently: "Did you come back secretly?"

Shu Xianxiang nodded. At this time, Lin Mei had already handed the dumplings to Zhou Damei for a while. She turned to the front yard and saw Shu Xianxiang.

The couple quickly walked out of the courtyard, and Shu Xianxiang didn't remember to remind Lin Mei that Shu Ling was sitting under the eaves.

When the couple went to the old banyan tree, there was no one there. They bowed sincerely three times, thinking only of asking for a child.

The snow was falling quite heavily, and when the wind blew over, fine pieces of snow that could not be hung on the branches fell one after another, drenching Shu Xianxiang and his wife's heads.

Lin Mei watched Shu Xianxiang's head turn white, then reached out to touch the snow on his head, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Did our ancestors say that we won't have a son until we grow old?"

Shu Xianxiang patted the snow on Lin Mei's head. Seeing her red eyes, he smiled and said, "Maybe he is saying that our child will come when it snows next year."

"Don't do it next year. If I want the child, I'll have it this year. You and I have never done anything wrong. God should give us more children."

"Yes. Let's go. I'll take you back. If you still feel uncomfortable, let's walk around outside a little longer."

"I won't hang out with you outside in such a cold weather. I'm going back."

After Lin Mei sighed, she looked at Shu Xianxiang and said, "If you give me a few more years, if it doesn't work, you can think of other ways."

Shu Xianxiang understood Lin Mei's words at once, looked at her and said with displeasure: "You just think too much, which affects the arrival of the child.

If you thought less about it, you would understand that our family has room for people who have nothing to do with each other. "

Lin Mei lowered her eyebrows and stopped talking. Shu Xian was sincere to her for this meeting, but what if he changed after a long time?
The couple walked back, Lin Mei entered the courtyard gate, and Shu Xianxiang turned around and left.Shu Ling saw Lin Mei entering the courtyard gate and saw her expression of not wanting to greet anyone, so she also pretended to be doing embroidery seriously.

Lin Mei walked quietly through the front yard. When she turned the corner, she saw Shu Ling without even raising her head, and she felt relieved.

Shu Ling waited until the sound of Lin Mei's footsteps were far away, and then waited for a while before she stood up and walked around under the eaves.

The weather was getting cold, and Yang went to Liu's house to talk to the old lady of Liu's house. Liu Hao didn't come over for a while. Shu Ling thought of the account books that Zhou Damei wanted her to see, and sighed inwardly.

She said to Gao Xiaorui, "Mom, I know how to read the account books. If you tell the aunt, I won't calculate the family's accounts this year with the aunt."

"I can't help you with this matter. Your aunt is willing to teach you skills, so you should learn it seriously."

Shu Ling had indeed studied seriously, and naturally understood that the family's income and expenses this year were really just about the same.

Shu Ling guessed that there should be a secret book at home, but she didn't want to know too much about the family.

As a result, Zhou Damei took the initiative and said to her: "Ling'er, our family has two accounts, one open account, which can be read by the whole family.

Another secret book, not many people know about it.In two days, you and I will figure out the secret account. "

Shu Ling waved her hand at Zhou Damei and said, "Auntie, I'd better settle the score with you.

As for the secret accounts and so on, you and your uncle can count them. "

Seeing that there was no surprise on Shu Ling's face, Zhou Damei asked, "Do you know there is another account at home?"

"Auntie, I didn't know that originally.

But you let me see the clear account. I know that there was an account in the spring. The aunt clearly kept the count, but the account book I looked at did not record it.

Also, the amount of money paid for tuition at home in the fall was not completely recorded in the account book.

I thought that my eldest uncle had never been careless. There must be another account book in our house, and that one recorded carefully. "

Zhou Damei reached out and patted Shu Ling's shoulder, and said with a pleased look on her face: "You look more carefully than your sisters."

"Auntie, I spend a lot of time at home, so I naturally understand the situation at home.

The sisters spend a lot of time working in the store. They don't know much about the situation at home, so naturally they can't tell anything from the open account records. "

"Your uncle has a ledger when he is away from home. Can you take a look at it when you are free?"

Shu Ling listened to Zhou Damei's words and immediately waved her hands and said firmly: "Auntie, I have taken on a lot of work and have to deliver the goods before the Chinese New Year. I really don't have time."

Zhou Damei looked at Shu Ling and sighed: "You have been taught a wrong way by your parents. Do you need to be so careful about your own family affairs?"

Shu Ling smiled at Zhou Damei: "Auntie, I really don't like doing accounting, just let me go."

Zhou Damei later said to Shu Dati: "Lao San and his wife taught Ling'er too much."

Shu Dati frowned and looked at her: "Ling'er is a naturally sensible and lovable child. Of course, the third son and his wife will also teach their children."
