Chapter 354 Growing Up
In winter, Shu Ling was about to give birth, and Xu Shaozhang returned as promised.

He saw Shu Ling with a big belly, saw her struggling to fall asleep at night, saw her face pale after giving birth and trying to find ways to comfort him.

Xu Shaozhang told Shu Ling directly: "We have a son, and we will never have another son again."

Mrs. Lu rushed over just in time to hear what her stupid son said, and pulled him out of the room.

"Hurry up and go to each house to report the good news. Your father-in-law's family has been waiting for news about you."

Xu Shaozhang looked back at the delivery room with some reluctance. Mrs. Lu reached out and pushed him: "You go, Ling'er just needs to take a nap."

Mrs. Lu entered the room and smiled at Shu Ling and said, "I'll pick up the baby and come over to show you."

Mrs. Lu quickly left the room. Shu Ling was waiting to see the child. When she saw the red-faced baby, there was no surprise on her face.

She and Mr. Lu laughed and said, "His cousins ​​were born similar to him."

Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Po Wen told me that the eldest brother is very good-looking. He picked up the best features of your appearance."

After Shu Ling looked at the child, she quickly fell asleep after Mrs. Lu said she would take care of the child herself.

When Shu Ling woke up, sisters-in-law Zhou Damei and Wang Zhi came to Xu's house. After seeing Shu Ling's condition, they felt much relieved.

During Shu Ling's confinement period, Xu Shaozhang came over from time to time to talk to her.

When members of the Xu family came to see the child, he would go to the study to do some work.

When Shu Ling was out of confinement, it happened to be the time for the Chinese New Year.

Their child finally had a formal name. After discussion with Xu Daoyou's brothers, they decided to name him Zhengli.

The character "正" for Xu Zhengli's child happens to be the character used by the Xu family in this generation.

The Xu family organized a full-moon banquet for Xu Zhengli, and members of the Xu family came to Xu Daoyuan's home.

Xu Daoshou and his wife asked the clan members to send them a golden longevity lock and five sets of clothes for the newborn.

Xu Daoyuan said to Mr. Lu: "I have two brothers in my heart."

Mrs. Lu heard from Mrs. Xia that after the disappearance of the Yuan clan, the two brothers Xu Daoshou and the Jin family stopped interacting with each other.

Xu Lizheng's full moon banquet was very lively. Everyone seemed to want to make up for Xu Shaozhang and gave away many of the four treasures of the study.

The people from the Shu family came to see Shu Ling and saw that her face was rosy. They felt relieved and implicitly reminded her not to chase after having a second child for the time being.

Shu Ling naturally agreed. After asking the old man of the Shu family about his wife, she asked with concern how the grandmother of the Liu family was doing.

Gao Xiaorui paused for a moment, then said to Shu Ling: "She is older now. She was already ill during the snowy day, so I came back to see her."

Shu Ling's heart sank. Life and death are inevitable. This is a reality that no one can avoid.

Gao Xiaorui glanced at Shu Ling: "Everyone can understand her reasoning, so you don't have to worry too much."

Years later, Shu Xianming visited the Xu family. He told Shu Ling about the death of the old lady of the Liu family.

Before she left, the old lady of the Liu family told her not to disturb too many people, so she just wanted to go quietly.

Liu Hao went home crying, and finally left crying. Her parents used the death of the old lady of the Liu family to disturb her life again.

In Shu Ling's situation, naturally she couldn't go to the Liu family to say goodbye to the old lady of the Liu family, so she could only entrust Shu Xianming to send a favor.

Time passed quickly. When summer came, Shu Ling went back to her parents' home and talked with the old man and his wife of the Shu family.

The two elderly people are in good health, and they remember many old things. They also like to talk to their little granddaughter, and they are also very concerned about some news in the city.After Shu Ling met the old man and his wife of the Shu family, she felt much more at ease.

Since the old lady of the Liu family left, she has been worried about the old lady of the Shu family and her husband.

Shu Ling believed that the old man and his wife of the Shu family could stay with them for a long time. However, in the winter of this year, the old man of the Shu family fell ill. He told his family not to panic. It was about time for him to arrive.

Xu Shaozhang and Shu Ling returned home with their children in their arms, but the old man of the Shu family refused to see Xu Zhengli. He said that he did not want to scare the children like this.

Mrs. Yang came out of the room to meet Xu Zhengli on behalf of the old man of the Shu family and gave the child a gift.

Yang comforted Shu Ling, whose face was full of tears: "Don't cry, your grandfather will feel bad if he sees you crying.

Your grandfather wants me to tell you that if he is gone, you and your wife can come and say goodbye.

Brother Li is young, so don't bring him here. "

Shu Ling nodded repeatedly, then took the warm cloth given by Gao Xiaorui and wiped her eyes.

She and Xu Shaozhang entered the room and met the old man of the Shu family. The old man was very happy to see his granddaughter and grandson-in-law.

But he didn't have much energy to speak. He just said to them: "You must live a good life, and when encountering problems, you must discuss and act.

Brother Zhang, I know my granddaughter, as long as you treat her well, she will treat you very well throughout her life. "

Xu Shaozhang bent down and said to the old man of the Shu family: "Grandpa, she is my chosen wife, and I will treat her well all my life.

Even if she treats me badly, I will always treat her well. "

When Xu Shaozhang and his wife left with their children in their arms, the old man of the Shu family looked okay. Yang stood at the door of the room and watched his granddaughter and her son-in-law leave the courtyard.

That night, Shu Ling never slept peacefully. When it was almost dawn, she dreamed that the old man of the Shu family waved to her.

At dawn, when she woke up, she received the news that the old man of the Shu family had gone.

The old man of the Shu family had been gone for less than half a month, and Mrs. Yang also passed away in her sleep.

When the New Year was about to come, Shu Ling went back to her parents' home to give New Year's gifts. She saw the door of the old man and his wife's room opened. She walked in and saw the empty room.

She covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.

She squatted down and sobbed. Zhou Damei entered the room and reached out to pat her shoulder.

Shu Ling wiped the tears on her face and said to Zhou Damei, "Auntie, I'm fine."

Zhou Damei sighed: "Before your grandmother left, she told us that they should not leave any empty rooms anymore since they are all gone."

Shu Ling nodded understandingly. With the old man and his wife of the Shu family gone, the three brothers Shu would naturally live separately.

Gao Xiaorui told Shu Ling that she was reluctant to live apart from the three families.

However, there are gradually more and more people in the younger generation in the family. With more people, it is easy for people to get confused.

Shu Ling couldn't accept the reality that her family would be separated, but she also understood that Shu Santie's deep brotherhood did not prove that the relationship between her grandchildren would be as deep.

In the spring of the next year, the Shu Datie brothers separated their families, and Shu Ertie and Shu Santie moved out of their ancestral home.

Shu Ling felt that her childhood and youth were truly gone, and she had truly grown up since then.
