8. Chapter 008
In the dark, I couldn't see Xie Changning's expression clearly, I could only see his figure sitting upright, "Shen Shu, are you serious?"
"Naturally. Shen Shu replied.
"If you want to, I will fulfill you. As for the matter of carrying my aunt, you don't have to worry about it, if I take a fancy to any woman, I will naturally bring it back. Xie Changning said this in a very calm tone, and after finishing speaking, he got up and got out of bed, took the clothes hanging on the side and put them on, and walked straight out.
The door was opened, followed by the sound of the door closing.
Shen Shu fell back on the bed, reached out and covered the quilt, closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
Sleep till dawn. Shen Shu sat in front of the dresser after washing, looking at the dim copper mirror, Liuli took a peach wood comb to comb her hair for her, and then simply pulled a single screw bun, inserted a peacock hairpin with tired silk inlaid treasure beads, and drew her eyebrows, which was considered to be picked up.
Amber had already sent people to the kitchen for breakfast. Shen Shu walked over and sat down, and saw Mother Jiang on the side as if she was about to speak.
Shen Shu probably knew what Mother Jiang wanted to say, it was nothing more than what she said last time. But she was not in a very good mood at this time, and it would be worse if she listened to her again, so she said two words first, "Deed." ”
These two words are undoubtedly a dead end for Jiang's mother, her face stiffened when she heard this, and then she lowered her head.
Shen Shu was quiet, and after breakfast, it didn't take long for Sister Hui and Brother Zhen to come. Brother Zhen wore a small silver robe today, his hair was tied up with silver rings, and he still had baby fat on his cheeks, and the whole person looked like a glutinous rice dumpling. He broke away from Sister Hui'er's hand when he walked to the door, and ran all the way into Shen Shu's arms, his steps staggering a little.
"Mother, mother~" He called one after another, raised his head, and looked at Shen Shu with bright eyes, "What about the gadgets you said you wanted to give me last night?"
Sister Hui then walked in, sat next to Shen Shu, and quipped, "On the way back last night, I chattered, I'm afraid I think about it when I sleep at night, I heard the maid who was waiting for him say that it was not dawn early this morning, so he got up and made a fuss to come over to his mother's side." No, I hastily ate two bites of lunch, and I brought him over. ”
After finishing the microphone last night, Shen Shu put it on the desk on the couch, she pointed to Brother Zhen'er, and said to him, "It's over there, go get it yourself, and the two of you will bring it together." ”
Brother Zhen hurriedly ran over and hugged him back, put it next to Shen Shu, picked it up and looked at it again and again for a while, but he didn't see anything funny, he suddenly felt a little sad, flattened his mouth, and looked at Shen Shu with big black eyes, looking very aggrieved, as if he was going to cry in the next second.
Sister Hui also picked it up and looked at it, but she didn't see anything Mingtang, she had never seen this thing in her previous life, so she asked Shen Shu, "Mother, what is this?"
Shen Shu explained to her with a smile, "This is a microphone, one person and one bamboo tube, the thread is straightened, and when you speak at one end, you can hear it at the other end." Go for it. ”
Sister Hui didn't expect that just two unattractive bamboo tubes could be turned into magical gadgets, and after taking a closer look, she called Brother Zhen to work together. She walked outside with the bamboo tube and did not stop until the thread connecting the bamboo tube was taut.
"Speak into the bamboo tube, and then listen to it in your ear. "Shen Shu taught Brother Zhen how to play.
He seemed a little nervous, holding the bamboo tube with one hand and pulling the hem of Shen Shu's clothes with the other, "Mother, what do you want to say?"
Shen Shu smiled, "It's okay to say whatever you want." ”
Brother Zhen nodded, hesitated for a moment with the bamboo tube, and then whispered, "Sister, Sister." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Shen Shu, only to see her stretch out her finger and point to her ear, so he picked up the bamboo tube and leaned to his ear to listen, and sure enough, he heard a reply.
"I called Brother Zhen a few times just now, but you didn't answer, I thought it was broken, but I didn't expect to hear it!" Sister Hui said this, and then returned to the house, with a bright smile on her face, just like Brother Zhen, as if she was really an eight-year-old child.
Brother Zhen got a new toy, he couldn't put it down, and he pulled Sister Hui and Shen Shu to play for a long time, and he didn't see him bored, and then after the two stopped playing with him, he called the maid who was waiting to play with him, and the smile on his face never fell.
Sister Hui looked at his smile and fell into a trance, and it took a while to come back to her senses, and she talked to Shen Shu about family life, and then somehow, she talked about yesterday's events. Shen Shu was still a little puzzled, obviously she had an unpleasant quarrel with Xie Changning the night before yesterday, why did he come again yesterday, but now when she heard Sister Hui say this, she recalled that after Xie Changning left yesterday, Sister Hui chased her out for a while, and because of the previous example, Shen Shu estimated that she should have made this matter.
Thinking of this, the smile on Shen Shu's face faded slightly.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Sister Hui saw and hurriedly asked her why, and the concern in her eyes didn't seem to be fake.
Shen Shu looked at the two of them carefully, and decided to explain her words, no matter why Sister Hui wanted to match her with Xie Changning, this was unacceptable to her, and she didn't want to have anything to do with Xie Changning at all.
"Sister Hui, don't look for a reason for your father to come over with me in the future, okay?"
Sister Hui didn't expect her to say this, she was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly explained, "Mother, my father is very good, he ......"
Shen Shu didn't wait for her to finish, then answered, "Sister Hui, whether your father is willing to come over to accompany me or not is his freedom, and no one can care." And whether it's good or bad is none of my business. I know that you are bent on matching me with him, and you are doing it for my good, but Sister Hui'er, have you asked me, and if I am willing? If I do something you don't like in the name of being good for you, will you be happy?"
After listening to Shen Shu's words, Sister Hui was stunned.
When she returned to her youth, she was bent on making up for the regrets of her previous life, she didn't want her father to die, she didn't want her mother to be lonely all her life, and she didn't want Brother Zhen to become silent. She twice used the excuse to let Xie Changning stay in the East Courtyard to accompany Shen Shu, just to promote the relationship between the two, and forced Brother Zhen to come to Shen Shu to ask for peace, in order to ease the relationship between him and Shen Shu...... Everything she does is to make their family live together.
It didn't occur to her that she was doing anything wrong.
But now Shen Shu has spoken out. Shen Shu was reluctant to match her.
And Brother Zhen, at the beginning, he seemed to be very resistant to this, right?
Sister Hui only felt that her memory seemed to become chaotic in an instant, and she recalled her previous life, their family was so miserable, if you don't change it again, will it still develop like the previous life in the end?
She was caught up in the memories and before she knew it, she was already in tears. A pair of gentle and gentle wipes away the tears on her face, stroking her head again and again, she heard Shen Shu's gentle voice ringing in her ears, "Sister Hui, my mother once told me that when getting along with others, you must learn to empathize, you must know the truth that you should not do to others what you do not want to be done to others, and when it comes to others who need to make decisions, you can't just make decisions based on a sentence that is for the good of the other party, you must ask others what they think." ”
"I know you're trying your best to bring me and your father together for my own good, but I want to tell you that I don't want to, and I'd rather go with the flow. Don't be sad, I'm not saying these things to you to accuse you of being wrong, but I just want to tell you about it. People are not born to understand everything, everyone has to learn, and now I have met it, just to tell you. ”
When Sister Hui heard the back, she couldn't hold back any longer, and cried in Shen Shu's arms, explaining intermittently while crying, "I don't know...... Will it be like this...... No one has ever ...... Sue me for these...... I just want us as a family...... Can you live well...... Father, mother, brother Zhen, and me...... Our family ......."
When Brother Zhen came back to rest when she was tired of playing, Sister Hui had already restrained her feelings, but her eyes were slightly red, so Brother Zhen noticed it and asked her with concern, "Sister, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable again?"
Sister Hui shook her head, "Sister is fine, but there is sand in her eyes." ”
Brother Zhen is still young, and he won't think about why there is sand in the house for the time being. Sister Hui said it, he believed it, racked his brains and thought of something to comfort Sister Hui'er, but it made her laugh.
Although Brother Zhen got a toy, he still came to Shen Shu's yard every day, hugged it in the morning, and hugged it back at night. It's Sister Hui'er, she doesn't come to Shen Shu's side much after that, and even if she comes, it's just a routine greeting, and there is no smile on her face.
Shen Shu felt that Sister Hui'er's situation would only be over. I just don't know when she will think of it, and no one can help her with this problem.
Xie Changning went to Aunt Zhou's side again, eating there during the day and staying there at night.
Shen Shu's east courtyard was restored to its original state, and when the weather was good, she asked the maid to remove the bedding and bedding on the two beds in the inner and side rooms, and sit under the tree to play chess in her spare time.
The days passed so leisurely for most of the day.
At the end of March, the good weather in the south of the Yangtze River suddenly changed its face, lightning and thunder, wind and rain, the wind blew the bamboo forest behind the house and swayed almost to the ground, the grass and trees in the garden fell down, folded, the peach trees in the corner of the wall were almost all hung by the wind and rain, and occasionally there was a gust of wind, as if to overturn the roof of the general violence.
It was another night of heavy rain, lightning and thunder in the sky, followed by a deafening thunder. The weather has been like this for several days in a row, not to mention sunny, the rain has hardly stopped, Brother Zhen was so frightened that he didn't dare to sleep alone, crying and shouting to sleep with Shen Shu, he cried so much that his voice was hoarse, Shen Shu couldn't bear to refuse, let him stay here for the time being.
That night, Shen Shu finally lulled Brother Zhen to sleep, and she herself was too sleepy, so she turned off the lights and fell asleep. However, not long after lying down/sleeping in bed, I heard a knock on the door, accompanied by an urgent shout, "Madame!"
Shen Shu woke up from her sleep, first glanced at Brother Zhen beside her, and saw that he was still asleep, so she breathed a sigh of relief, got up and put on a dress and went out of the room, turned the moon cave door to the door, opened the door, and asked the maid on duty at night, "What's the matter?"
The maid quickly explained the reason, and it turned out that Brother Yan was not good.
Xie Changning has a total of five children, among which Sister Xian and Brother Yi were born to Aunt Zhou, and they were also brought by herself, and they have nothing to do with Shen Shu, only Sister Hui and Brother Zhen left by Shen Yu in front of her, and Brother Yan born to the late Aunt Mei. Brother Yan is the youngest child in the family, two years old, and he can't walk steadily and can't speak.
After Shen Shu occupied this body, she had seen this child a few times in total, and she had almost forgotten that there was a child recently.
"What's wrong with Brother Yan'er?" Shen Shu asked, while taking care of the clothes on his body, he also instructed the maid to get an umbrella and prepare to go to Brother Yan'er to take a look.
The maid replied that at night, Brother Yan'er somehow got hot, his body became hotter and hotter, his face was red, and he hummed vigorously, and the nurse didn't agree to call him. The people who were waiting there were panicked, and they hurriedly went to Aunt Zhou's side to take the right cards and go out to ask for a doctor, but it was late at night, and it was a stormy weather, and it felt like people were about to be blown away when they walked outside, and the people who went out to ask for a doctor almost ran all the hospitals in the county to invite the doctor.
Before the doctor came, he asked about the general situation, grabbed a few pairs of symptomatic medicines before he came, and after checking the pulse of Brother Yan'er, he prescribed a prescription, and the medicine he needed was just bringed, so he asked people to go to the kitchen to fry and send it. But I didn't want the medicine to be decoctioned, so I finally poured it into Brother Yan'er, and soon vomited it again, and half of the bowl of medicine was gone, but it was basically not fed into the stomach.
Shen Shu came to Brother Yan'er's yard under the torrential rain, although he had an umbrella, the clothes on his body were still almost soaked, and a few strands of hair stuck to his face, so he was not a wolf. When she entered the house, she found that Xie Changning was also there, her brows furrowed tightly, and she looked worried.
