Chapter 87 Reading
"No." Shu Santie reached out and touched his little daughter's head.

Shu Ling raised her head and smiled at him: "Father, Sister Yun told me that not all tree barks can be used to make paper, and she has to try slowly to know which kind of bark can be used to make paper."

"Ling'er, how many people were there when she said this?"

Shu Ling stretched out her fingers and counted: "I, Liu Niuniu, sister Zhen, and there is no one else."

Shu Santie reached out and touched Shu Ling's head again, and sighed: "Ling'er, we can't be greedy for windfall."

"I know, uncle told me that too.

But Sister Yun said that she learned the skills from books, and she is willing to share them with me and Liu Niuniu.

She also wanted us to watch what she recorded, but Liu Niuniu and I didn't watch it.

Dad, if our family makes paper, we can also make paper according to the process that Sister Yun said. She said that she has no secrets from us in this regard. "

Shu Can came out of his parents' room with a blushing face. Shu Santie was struggling with what he wanted to say to Shu Ling. Seeing Shu Can coming out, he hurriedly said, "You sisters, let's talk together."

He went straight into the room, Shu Ling looked at Shu Can's face closely, and was a little worried: "Second sister, your face is so red, are you feeling unwell?"

"No discomfort, I'm hot."

After Shu Can said, Shu Ling stretched out his hand to catch the wind, and the wind blew over her hand, bringing a burst of coolness.

"Second sister, it's not hot."

"It's warmer in Mom and Dad's room than outside, do you want to go in and have a try?"

Shu Ling shook her head: "I'm going to talk to Second Sister for a while, Second Sister, what do you want to tell me?"

Shu Can had something hidden in her heart, looked at the little girl who didn't know anything, thought for a while and asked: "Ling'er, can you read thick books now?"

"Not yet. The last time my fourth brother told me that I should not seek to learn more characters, but to understand the meaning of characters. Now I slow down the speed of character recognition."

"Listen to your fourth brother, he is always good for you."

"Second sister, I know, but when will fourth brother come back? I miss him so much."

Since Shu Xianming went to the city to study, he didn't spend much time at home. Shu Can was very concerned about this younger brother, but there were not many opportunities for the siblings to talk to each other.

Shu Ling is young, as long as Shu Xianming is at home, she will pester him and talk, even if Shu Xianming wants to read and write, she is willing to accompany him silently.

Shu Xianming was originally close to Shu Ling, but now he can only get closer to this little sister who is willing to read and write.

Shu Jing once said to Shu Can very angry: "Linger is a little sycophant."

Shu Can understood her thoughts and persuaded her with a smile: "Your fourth brother is not Linger's brother alone. If you want to talk to your fourth brother intimately, will he still ignore you?"

"Fourth brother also needs to read and write when he comes back. I'm not thick-skinned like Ling'er. I don't want to waste the time for fourth brother to read and write."

"Jing'er, as long as your fourth brother doesn't appear to dislike Ling'er, it means that he still enjoys Ling'er's company in his heart."

Shu Can's words made Shu Jing even more unhappy, she decided that she would learn from Shu Ling to have a thicker skin.

It's just that Shu Ling and Shu Xianming were talking about reading and writing, while Shu Jing and Shu Xianming could only discuss embroidery patterns.

This made Shu Xianming very embarrassed: "Jing'er, I don't understand these things, so I can't give you any advice.

Next time I come back, I will go to the book store and ask if there are any new embroidery patterns? "

Shu Jing shook her head: "Fourth Brother, I don't want it, I just want to talk to Fourth Brother.

Fourth brother, do you find me annoying now? "

Shu Xianming immediately shook his head, he was too aware of the younger sister's temper, and quickly explained: "No trouble, I'm glad you came to talk to me."

Shu Jing was happy all of a sudden, Shu Xianming secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and listened to her talk about embroidery for a while.

After Shu Jing left, after a while, when Shu Can came over, Shu Xianming said to her: "Second Sister, you can tell me whatever you want, just please don't tell me about embroidery."

Shu Can suddenly laughed, looked at him and said: "You are stupid, you tell Jing'er that you want to hear the interesting things she met in the shop, and she won't keep talking about embroidery with you." matter."

Shu Xianming looked at her worriedly: "You guys are working in the backyard, can you encounter some things?"

Seeing the concern in his eyes, Shu Can said with a smile: "We also deal with people, so naturally we can encounter some things.

The lady in charge said that we should not only know how to embroider, but also know how to deal with the world so that we will not be bullied when we go out in the future. "

Shu Can came to see her brother because she wanted to buy him some clothes, so she really pulled Shu Xianming to stand up and have a look.

When she was about to leave, Shu Xianming reminded: "Sister, I have clothes, so don't buy more clothes for me."

Shu Can looked back at him: "I fell in love with a piece of fabric, and the lady shopkeeper is willing to give it to me at a low price.

I think it's just right to buy clothes for you and your sixth and eighth brothers. "

Shu Xianming could only thank Shu Can for his kindness. If he insisted on refusing, the sixth and eighth brothers would also be embarrassed to accept the second sister's kindness.

When Shu Can walked out of the room, there was a proud smile on her face. As an older sister, how could she not be able to deal with her younger brothers and sisters.

Shu Xianming was studying in the city, and in autumn, he received new clothes made by Shu Can.

He proudly showed it to his classmates: "My sister's skills are very good."

"Student, in a few years, your sister will get married, and she won't care about you anymore.

I hope your future daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is as good as your sister's. "

Shu Xianming suddenly thought of Shu Can's age, and decided to wait until the next time he came home from vacation to pay attention to his sister's marriage.

These days, Shu Santie and his wife thought about it, and saw that their daughter had some affection for the boy from Dongtou Town, so when the matchmaker from Dongtou Town came to visit, they also agreed to find an opportunity for the two young people to see each other for a while. .

The matchmaker in Dongtou Town was very happy, and said to Shu Santie and his wife: "The lady Wang in your town knows my good reputation in this field best. I will never spoil a woman's life for small profits."

Gao Xiaorui turned to ask Po Wang, and also explained that she still needs to worry about Shu Can's matter.

Seeing that the Shu family didn't intend to get rid of her, Wang Po was naturally taken aback and came back after inquiring about some news.

She came to Shu's house to talk, and incidentally told Zhou Damei and Gao Xiaorui about Liu's family.

"The Liu family and his wife are both able-bodied people. They have five sons. The eldest and fifth are smart people. Now they help parents manage the family's business."

Zhou Damei sat up straight all of a sudden: "Wang Po, is there something wrong with the three brothers in the middle?"

After struggling for a while, Wang Po said, "There's nothing wrong with it, the three brothers are still studying."
