house life

A week later, Xu Shaozhang came back from school and was a little surprised when he saw Shu Ling and Xu Yu sitting under the eaves in the courtyard with smiling faces.

In the past two or three years, Xu Yu probably grew up, and Xu Shaozhang probably saw her unhappy and gloomy side.

Now Xu Shaozhang heard her laughter, and he laughed too. He missed such a happy sister.

When Shu Ling saw Xu Shaozhang, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, just in time for Xu Shaozhang to see that he was both amused and angry at the same time.

Xu Yu said goodbye and left very cleverly. Before leaving, she specifically said to Xu Shaozhang: "Brother, I will tell my mother that you and your sister-in-law will go to pay your respects to your mother later."

Xu Shaozhang waved to her. He turned to Shu Ling and said, "My little sister hasn't been this happy for many years."

Shu Ling looked at him in disbelief. The Xu Yu she saw looked very happy, naughty and clever.

Shu Ling and Xu Shaozhang entered the room. Xu Shaozhang looked back at her: "Did you forget that I'm going home today?"

Naturally, Shu Ling would not accept Xu Shaozhang's words. She smiled at Xu Shaozhang and said, "Husband, how many days will you have off?"

Xu Shaozhang reached out and pinched Shu Ling's nose angrily. The couple hadn't gotten along for several days, and Shu Ling felt that Xu Shaozhang was strange.

His act of being so close made Shu Ling take half a step back, and she rubbed her nose with her hands as if to cover up.

"Husband, my originally unattractive nose has become even more unattractive because of your pinching."

Xu Shaozhang's eyes darkened, and after taking a serious look at Shu Ling's nose, he praised: "My lady's nose is indeed very beautiful."

Shu Ling looked at Xu Shaozhang and laughed: "Husband, shall I pour hot water for you to take a bath?"

"I'll go. You haven't been idle at home. It's a good time to take a rest."

Naturally, Shu Ling would not tell Xu Shaozhang that she was very free. She smiled and said, "We don't have many things at home. With Yu'er by my side, I think I can still cope with it."

Xu Shaozhang asked curiously: "Have no members of the tribe come to the house these days?"

Shu Ling looked at him with the same curiosity: "Do they come to the house often?"

"As long as there is nothing going on at home, they like to come over and talk to their mother."

Shu Ling thought of some of the things Xu Yu mentioned about the tribe, and asked curiously: "Do the people in the tribe favor boys over girls?"

"Whose family doesn't favor boys over girls?"

Shu Ling originally wanted to say that her mother's family was not like this.

But she thought about it carefully and found that the Shu family's preference for sons over daughters was not obvious. Shu Ling was very favored by her family, and she didn't feel much about it.

But when it came time to make a choice, Shu Ling knew in her heart that no matter how much her elders loved her, they would eventually choose their children and grandchildren.

Shu Ling believes that there is nothing wrong with this. Compared with the fact that the daughters cannot be independent, for the family, independent children and grandchildren are the confidence for the family to survive.

If Zhu Yun knew that Shu Ling had such thoughts, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood. She believed that when a decision was made, the people in the family should take more care of their daughters.

Shu Ling said to Xu Shaozhang: "If we have a daughter, can you treat her well? Can you teach her to live independently?"

The topic was a bit big at once. Xu Shaozhang looked at Shu Ling's belly. She quickly pressed her belly and said to him, "No, after you leave, my little life will come."

Xu Shaozhang looked at her: "Don't worry, we are still young. If we have a daughter, I will naturally treat her well.

But will she be an independent person? I think she still needs to read more and seek the ability to live independently from books. "

Shu Ling nodded understandingly. Shu Xianming understood this, and Zhu Yun also told Shu Ling and Liu Hao that even if they got married, they should not give up studying.

In this life, they will not be able to use what they learned from books, which is her deepest blessing to them.Xu Shaozhang went into the inner room to take a bath. Shu Ling sat under the eaves and read a book. Xu Yu came over and sent a message: "Sister-in-law, mother said that the whole family will have dinner together tonight."

Shu Ling smiled, nodded, and asked, "Yu'er, do you still want to go to the next place?"

Xu Yu took the opportunity to sit next to her: "I'm not going. It's just that my eldest brother is at home. Will he urge me to study again?"

Shu Ling looked at her and smiled: "You can tell him that you have been busy with embroidery recently."

"Sister-in-law, you said that I practice embroidery with all my heart, can I also take jobs from the shop?"

"I think it is possible. When I was your age, I didn't like embroidery very much. It was because my sisters at home were too capable, so they led me to embroider."

Xu Yu looked at Shu Ling with admiration: "Sister-in-law, if I do something I don't like, I will feel very uncomfortable."

"I don't feel bad because I know that as long as I learn how to embroider, I can earn pocket money by relying on my embroidery skills."

"Sister-in-law, do you want the money you earn at your parents' house to be handed over to the government?"

"No. I forgot to ask my mother, do I want to give part of the money I earn from doing embroidery work to Gongzhong?"

"No. Our family's rule is not to use money earned by women." Xu Shaozhang came out of the shower and happened to hear Shu Ling's words.

When Xu Yu saw Xu Shaozhang, she immediately shrank behind Shu Ling.

Xu Shaozhang sat opposite Shu Ling, looked at Xu Yu and reminded: "Yu'er, have you done something that you can't forgive me for?"

"No, I'm not sorry for my eldest brother. I said a lot of good things for my eldest brother in front of my sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, don't you think so?"

"Yes, Yu'er respects you very much."

Xu Shaozhang looked at their aunt and sister-in-law, and said to Xu Yu: "Then you should hold your head high and be a good person in front of me."

Shu Ling burst into laughter after listening to Xu Shaozhang's words. When Xu Shaozhang looked over, he quickly explained: "Yu'er keeps her head up and behaves like a human being. If you say this, Yu'er will be unhappy."

Xu Yu indeed looked at Xu Shaozhang with a flat mouth: "Brother, I never do anything bad, I always keep my head high and be a good person.

But the aunts in the clan told my mother that I looked down on them very much and that they were not even in my eyes.

Brother, my eyes are not big, how can I fit them in? "

"The aunts in the clan are old, and their eyesight is not very good, so don't care about what they say casually.

Sometimes they mean what they say but don't mean it. "

"Brother, they mean what they say. They also say that I am not as innocent and cute as girls from the Eight Tribes.

Girls from the Eight Tribes are treated as fools by them, so she is naturally innocent and cute. "

Xu Shaozhang had never known that the women in the clan treated Xu Yu like this. He looked at Shu Ling with some worry.

"Yu'er, I originally thought that you would help take care of your sister-in-law when they came to the house.

Now it seems that when the time comes, the only thing I can do is ask your sister-in-law to help take care of you. "

"Uncle, don't worry. They won't mess with me and Yu'er, and we all get along well with each other.

If they deliberately provoke us, I am not afraid of trouble. "
