house life

When Xu Shaozhang left the next day, he said to Shu Ling: "When I was free last year, I went to the bookstore to take over the job of copying books.

Neither my father nor my mother wanted the money I earned from copying books, so I kept the money in the closet.If you want to use it, just go and get it. "

Shu Ling smiled and agreed. As long as she stayed within the courtyard, there was really no need for her money.

Shu Ling was almost getting used to a quiet home life. She and Xu Yu went to pay respects to Mr. Lu in the morning.

Other times, she and Xu Yu would either read for a while or embroider quietly.

Xu Yu and Shu Ling said, "Sister-in-law, do you want to go to the school to deliver Chinese food to my eldest brother?"

Shu Ling looked at Xu Yu: "Your eldest brother told me when he left that he would be back this week. He doesn't want to make mother too hard."

Xu Yu sighed and said: "The aunts in the clan don't come to the house, and I feel that life is too boring.

When they come to our home, they will give advice on our family affairs. "

Shu Ling didn't think Mrs. Lu was a person who allowed others to talk nonsense. She glanced at the expression on Xu Yu's face and said, "What did they say about you?"

"What can they say about me? It's not that my temperament is not bright and generous enough, and that I am not enthusiastic enough towards my guests."

After listening to her words, Shu Ling sighed and said, "My mother's family doesn't have so many favors. I'm a little worried that I won't be able to cope with it and will let my parents down."

After hearing Shu Ling's words, Xu Yu thought for a while and said, "Sister-in-law, you will do whatever you want.

This is because when they come, you have to pretend that they like it.

As time goes by, you will definitely not like this kind of life. "

Shu Ling smiled and looked at Xu Yu: "Yu'er, you can persuade me like this, why should you take some gossip to heart?"

When the women from the tribe came, Shu Ling and Xu Yu were sitting under the eaves, embroidering. A group of them walked into the yard, and Shu Ling was stunned.

Xu Yu looked at the woman who led the way in: "Third Aunt, isn't my mother at home?"

The third aunt looked at the new daughter-in-law who was sitting under the eaves with a calm expression. She held her head high and said, "Let's meet Brother Zhang's new daughter-in-law."

Shu Ling stood up and saluted them, then said politely: "Hello, aunties."

The women all looked at Xu Yu: "Girl Yu, please introduce our identities to your sister-in-law."

Xu Yu could only reach out and point over: "Sister-in-law, third aunt, sixth aunt, sixth aunt, second aunt, seventh aunt, eleventh aunt..."

After Xu Yu introduced them one after another, Shu Ling discovered the fact that they were all women from different families who had no business, so they had so much free time to go out together.

But Shu Ling never dared to underestimate the abilities of these people. She immediately greeted with a smile: "Auntie, I'll go in and pour tea for you to drink. It's just that I don't have enough cups here. Auntie is not in a hurry, so she takes turns drinking from the cups. water."

After listening to Shu Ling's words, these aunts knew that the small kitchen in Xu Shaozhang's yard was usually used for no other purpose except boiling water.

The third aunt was the first to say: "Zhang'er's family, please stop working. We are just here to take a look. By the way, we invite you and your mother-in-law to our home."

Shu Ling smiled very implicitly: "Aunts, I follow mother's arrangements."

Xu Yu saw Shu Ling smiling so beautifully and seeing her aunts lowering their voices when talking to her. She felt quite convinced in her heart.

Mrs. Lu looked over and saw people sitting and standing in the yard. She smiled and said, "Go and sit in my yard. They have a small yard and it is not convenient to put too many tables, chairs and benches."

Mrs. Lu took away all the aunts in the clan. Xu Yu breathed out and said, "Sister-in-law, let's rest for a while and then go to mother's yard." Shu Ling saw the servant woman coming in from outside and said to Xu Yu: "Let's go to mother's yard now."

Xu Yu's face was full of reluctance: "Sister-in-law, let's go now. If they have nothing to do, they will ask us for questions."

"Go ahead. If we don't go, they still want to know what we are doing recently."

"Okay. Sister-in-law, I won't be happy for a while, so I'll leave directly."

Shu Ling looked at Xu Yu with envy: "When I was a daughter in my parents' home, I had the same thoughts as you do now."

"Sister-in-law, will your mother reprimand you?"

"No, because our family doesn't have many people, and everyone has their own busy schedules. Unless something big happens, they won't go to other people's homes."

"I won't go to other people's homes now."

Shu Ling and Xu Yu arrived at the Lu family's yard and happened to hear Aunt Six praising her daughter for how prosperous the family was.

"She gave birth to her eldest son in the first year after she got married, and her second son in the second year. She originally wanted to wait for two or three years before having a third child, but this time she gave birth to a pair of twins instead."

When Shu Ling entered the yard, she could feel the aunties all over the yard looking at her belly.

Shu Ling sat down behind Mrs. Lu with an open look on her face. Xu Yu pouted and sat next to Shu Ling. After their aunts sat down, the topic changed again.

This time they were talking about the most prosperous women in each family. Shu Ling didn't quite understand the names they were talking about.

Xu Yu secretly used his fingers to show her, and Shu Ling understood a little bit.

But the aunts refused to let Shu Ling and Xu Yu go, and asked them questions one by one.

"It's from Brother Zhang's house. When will Brother Zhang come back from vacation?"

Shu Ling said very shyly: "He said that he would listen to the arrangements of the school. If there is a holiday, he would come back to pay respects to his parents."

"Brother Zhang is filial and reads a lot, which is beneficial."

Lu's eyes flashed, and seeing Shu Ling's eyes smiling a little more, she secretly glared at Xu Yu.

"Girl Yu, you have to study hard with your sister-in-law. You see that your sister-in-law is sitting very upright, but you are sitting a little crooked."

When Shu Ling heard what this aunt said, she felt that it was an unreasonable disaster.

She just sat like this normally, the way a normal person would sit, and there was really no need for this aunt to step on her sister-in-law to support her.

Xu Yu sat upright and smiled at her aunt: "Can I sit upright now?"

Shu Ling said very gently: "Yu'er's natural sitting posture is very beautiful. I sit like an ordinary person."

The aunt was not happy. She just felt that Shu Ling was really a mess and didn't have the demeanor to be a sister-in-law.

She rolled her eyes and said to Shu Ling: "Brother Zhang's family, as a sister-in-law, if you always look at your sister-in-law's eyes and act, it will not be good for your sister-in-law's reputation."

It was rare for Shu Ling to meet such a wonderful person. A dark color flashed in Lu's eyes. She wanted these people to let Xu Yu know how difficult the world was as soon as possible.

Shu Ling sighed lightly and said: "As a sister-in-law, I can't take care of my sister-in-law. How can I take care of my relatives and friends at home in the future?"
