Shu Lao Er and Pan Erniang are diligent, and the children don't bother them much, the key is that the four of them don't spend much money on food and clothing, and Uncle Pan has the best relationship with this sister, and they often make up for it, so the expenses are not much, and the two of them can have more than twenty taels a month in addition to the monthly money they hand. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But there are many people in the family, and the New Year's Festival and birthday are all about it, and the relationship outside also costs a lot, so I save at most thirty or fifty taels every year. However, the two children are still young and have a few years to study, so they can't use a large amount of money for the time being.

This money was given by Shu Lao Er and Pan after discussion, Pan had some psychological burden because he couldn't breastfeed his premature nephew, so Shu Lao Er said that she would respond, and Pan Erniang, who was rough and leafy, was actually a soft-hearted and kind person in her bones. She always felt that her nephew was born with a disability, because Wang Yufen followed him to the grave during Qingming, and secretly complained about Old Man Shu.

Shu Lao Er didn't tell her that Wang's medical expenses were actually paid by herself.

Shu Laosan was not good at words, took the silver, the corners of his eyes were wet, and he didn't say anything for a long time. Shu Lao Er patted him on the back to show his understanding, Shu Lao San didn't stay any longer, and walked out of the room with the silver in his hand. Qinglan secretly leaned behind the curtain to watch, and in the faint moonlight, Shu Laosan's bent spine made him look as if he was several years older.

The Shu family was shrouded in suppressed gloom, and to add insult to injury, Wang Yufen's temperament changed greatly, becoming bitter and violent, and neither the Pan nor the Qin family dared to come to her. The children did not dare to speak in the main courtyard, because as soon as Wang Yufen saw the children, she stared at their ears viciously, so frightened that the children did not dare to approach the main house. Shu Laosan persuaded her several times, but Wang Yufen turned a deaf ear and still went her own way, so Shu Laosan no longer let his nephews and nieces go to see his younger brother.

In less than half a month, Mrs. Shu was almost tired.

She has to take care of Wang Yufen, who is sitting in confinement in a cloudy and sunny situation, and she also has to take care of her premature grandson, boil medicine, cook, and clean the pulp. Only she and the Qin family are in the family, Qinglan and Mingyu are still young, and the Qin family also has to take care of the two ignorant sons and cook for the men, and the family is in chaos. Mrs. Shu really couldn't take care of it, so she went to find her second son, hoping that he could send Mingyu and Qinglan to Pan's house for a while.

Shu Lao Er should go down and go back to discuss with Pan Erniang, Pan Erniang seemed very embarrassed.

It turned out that on the second day of Mingyu's first birthday, Old Man Pan took the Li family to the provincial capital to see a doctor. Li's heart disease has always been bad, and he will live in the provincial capital for most of the two or three years for treatment, and this time Old Man Pan and Li will come back during the Chinese New Year. The Pan family now only has Uncle Pan, Fan and Pan Si and Pan Wuniang. Uncle Pan has to be busy with business, and often has to go down to collect the accounts, and he is about to go to the farm, and the Pan family still has land to collect. Fan has to take care of the house, take care of his two sons, and often go to the grocery store in front of him to watch. Pan Siniang has just applied for a female private school as a husband, leaving early and returning late every day, while Pan Wuniang herself is still a child and studying in a private school.

Pan Erniang discussed with Shu Lao Er and took the child to the restaurant. Shu Lao Er disagreed, the restaurant was full of people, the children were still young, and Pan Erniang would definitely not be able to take care of it if she wanted to work. In the end, he decided to take the children to work at the bookstore.

The bookstore where Shu Lao Er works is in the south of the county seat, not far from the post station, and walks along the river, about two quarters of an hour. The next day, after breakfast, Shu Lao Er took a piece of wrapping and tied his daughter to his back, hugged his son in his arms, and walked to the bookstore.

After walking for less than two quarters of an hour, the four gilded characters of Weixian Bookstore came into view.

Weixian Book Company is subordinate to Laizhou Mansion Book Company, which is a public institution specializing in printing, selling and borrowing books.

The bookstore is located on Ping'an Road, sitting east and facing west, with three mansions with a courtyard, and a bookstore at the door; The second entrance is the library, as long as you get a book ticket, you can come to see the book and borrow books; Sanjin is the office location, and the courtyard next to it is a printing workshop.

The manager of the bookstore is surnamed Sun, and everyone calls him the shopkeeper Sun. As soon as Shu Lao Er came, he took the child to find the shopkeeper Sun, Qinglan saw him and called Uncle Sun sweetly, she still remembered the little gift that the shopkeeper Sun gave her! (Of course, it also lays a good foundation for coming to work every day in the future!) ）

Shu Lao Er said the difficulties of his family, and the shopkeeper Sun patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said indifferently: "Then let the two children play here, the yard is so big, don't restrain them, I think the two children are very well-behaved." Qinglan nodded approvingly, amusing Shopkeeper Sun.

Shu Lao Er has his own independent office, in the east wing of the third courtyard, although the room is not big, the lighting is very good, through the bright glass window can see the flowers and trees outside; There are two rows of cabinets against the wall, and on the opposite side of the cabinet is a small couch with a coffee table next to it; There is a large table and two chairs by the window.

Qinglan and Mingyu sat on the chairs opposite Shu Lao Er, quietly reading the album. At this time, the villain books are all in black and white, and the story is boring, but talk is better than nothing. Qinglan They are looking at a story of filial piety, and the corners of Qinglan's eyes twitch when they see it, what are these 24 filial sons, it is clearly 24 jokes!

In less than an hour, Qinglan finished all the albums, and was bored to watch Shu Er's work.

Shu Laoer's work is now a senior accountant, equivalent to the CFO of an enterprise. Although Shu Lao's words are not written well, the abacus is really good, which makes Qinglan itch and wants to follow along.

Near noon, Shu Lao Er put down the pen in his hand and went to get the lunch box prepared for him by Pan Erniang.

Originally, the Shu family only ate two meals - morning and evening, because Old Man Shu and the others did not go home at noon during the day when they worked. But the Pan family has always had to eat three meals, and Pan Erniang didn't want to starve her men and children. Every day before the evening shift, she will prepare a lunch box for Shu Lao Er with the remaining ingredients. Today's meal was twice as much as usual, because Qinglan and Mingyu's share was also there. Qinglan stood on the back of the chair with a small spoon (she was too short to reach when she sitted), Shu Lao Er held Mingyu and was about to feed him, when the shopkeeper Sun knocked on the door with a food box and came in, and what he saw was this scene.

Shu Lao Er seemed to be used to it, gave the chair to the shopkeeper Sun, moved the couch over and sat with Mingyu in his arms, and the four of them began to eat. Shopkeeper Sun enthusiastically shouted to Qinglan to taste his food, and Qinglan reciprocated the favor by giving Shopkeeper Sun a rabbit and a frog.

The rabbit is steamed with shrimp meat stuffed in egg white, and the end of the egg white tip is cut into a gap, like rabbit ears, and a small carrot is inserted into each side of the ear, which is a rabbit eye; There was a black sesame seed under the eyes, which was a rabbit's mouth; The thick one has a white radish stuck in it, which is a rabbit's tail. The frog is a soup vegetable, the skin is glued to the cucumber skin, the limbs are carved out of the gourd, and the flesh of the body is fish meatballs. These are all small inventions of Pan Erniang and Qinglan, and they are also very popular in the restaurant.

Shopkeeper Sun praised while eating, he likes to have lunch with Shu Er, because Pan Erniang's craftsmanship is really good. After eating, Shopkeeper Sun was satisfied with a thin bone piece to pick his teeth, "Tiger bone," Shopkeeper Sun explained proudly with a smile to the curious baby Qinglan who was staring at him, and handed it to Qinglan for her to see.

Qinglan didn't take it, and looked at it politely and thanked her. Just kidding, girl, I'm a cleanliness fetish. Shopkeeper Sun asked Qinglan if she knew about the tiger, Qinglan nodded, and then shook her head again. Shopkeeper Sun was in high spirits and took Qinglan and Mingyu to his office.

Sun's office is in the southernmost end of the main room in Sanjin, the room is very large, as soon as you enter the door, you can see a picture of a tiger roaring hanging on the wall in the position of the sun, which is very powerful, with two words next to it. What intrigued Qinglan was that there were some paints on the desk against the wall. Qing Lan had only studied sketching for two classes in her previous life, and for the first time she saw ancient paints—the colors were a little dark.

The shopkeeper thought that she liked things with colors, so he carried the two children to the chair, each sat on an armrest, and took a pen to teach the two to draw. Mingyu was a little sleepy after playing for a while, and the shopkeeper Sun carried him to sleep on his couch and covered his coat. When she returned, Qinglan copied the orchid she had painted. Shopkeeper Sun was very surprised, thinking that this little girl was very talented, and taught Qinglan to draw lotus flowers.

By the time Shu Lao Er came to pick up the two children from work, Qinglan could already draw five kinds of flowers. Shopkeeper Sun taught with a sense of accomplishment and told Qinglan to continue to study tomorrow.

The next day, the shopkeeper brought his youngest son with him. The youngest son of the shopkeeper Sun is called Sun Bin, one year older than Qinglan, with a round face, a round nose and round eyes, and he is very energetic. Sun Bin couldn't bear to sit and paint, and led Mingyu to play in the yard. Qinglan couldn't sit happily and painted quietly.

Qinglan found out that she liked to draw (that's because there's so little entertainment, you're too bored, okay!). She didn't bother when the shopkeeper was busy, and sat on the side to paint by herself. Within a month, the flowers and plants painted by Qinglan seemed to look the same. Shopkeeper Sun praised again and again, his interest in teaching became more and more high, and Qinglan also practiced more and more seriously, more active than Shu Lao Er, who went to work every day.

Qinglan is not at home during the day, and practices calligraphy and painting at night, so she naturally doesn't know that there is a storm in the house.

After giving birth to a child, Wang Yufen quit her job in Yinlou and concentrated on taking care of her son at home. Shu Laosan named his son Zhuang, (Old Man Shu only named Da Lang, thinking that it was his eldest son and grandson, and other grandsons did not deserve this special honor.) Shu Mingzhuang, which means that he can grow up healthy and healthy, and his body is getting stronger and stronger.

Under the careful care of Mrs. Shu and Wang Yufen, the child is indeed a lot stronger. But unfortunately, after Dr. Liu's repeated examinations, it was determined that the child's left ear was almost deaf, that is, Shu Mingzhuang only had one ear of hearing, and as he grew up, the hearing in his right ear would gradually decline, and it was possible that after he was 30 years old, he would become deaf who could not hear anything.

Medical technology in this era has not yet advanced to the point where hearing can be improved through hearing aids or cochlear implants. However, if the Shu family can provide the child with a better diet and have enough precious medicinal materials, it can still improve the child's hearing a little, and the child's body will be healthier. But the Shu family made it clear that they would not pay this money.

Wang Yufen almost collapsed, how could the child she gave birth to so desperately be so miserable! She hates!

She hated Old Man Shu, if he hadn't forced him to go to the countryside to go to the grave, how could her son have bumped into some evil demons and become disabled? (Haruran: Why do you think so...) ）

She hates the Shu family, if it weren't for the Shu family's refusal to come up with money and make more good food, how could she have difficulties in childbirth, how could she suffer such a sin? (Qinglan: You forgot why you gave birth prematurely...) How could her son be so thin! If it weren't for the Shu family's refusal to come up with the money, how could her son become a deaf person who couldn't hear anything after thirty!

What she hates the most is Pan's, (Pan Erniang: Who did I recruit to provoke whom?) I didn't even eat a boiled apple, and I could still lie down with a gun! If it weren't for Pan's adulterous return to milk, how could her son have been unable to eat breast milk and almost starved to death! If it weren't for Pan, who only gave her a mere thirty taels of silver, how could she not have the money to buy more precious medicinal herbs to heal her son? The Pan family took out three hundred taels or more than enough, why can't they take it out to help their brothers and nephews!? (Uncle Pan: You... Why is Pan so good, if Pan also gets her some soup and water every day, can her son be as healthy as Qinglan Mingyu?

If Qinglan and Pan Erniang knew that she thought so, it is estimated that they would not even give a green onion in the future!

(Wang Yufen's psychology is indeed a little distorted, and she puts all the responsibility on others, so that her psychology is more comfortable.) ）

She often sat on the kang like a puppet, holding her son, cursing the Shu family, cursing Pan Erniang, cursing Qinglan and Mingyu in her heart. She resented the Shu family's unkindness, and resented how she married such a useless man as Shu Laosan!

But at this time, she didn't know that the rumors about her outside had become more and more intense, and the rumors were getting uglier and uglier.

first gave birth to Shu Mingzhuang in just over 7 months, which seemed to confirm the rumors that Wang Yufen was pregnant with a child before she crossed the door, and also added fuel and vinegar to describe how she hooked up with Shu Laosan.

Moreover, the Shu family did not have much joy when they added their grandson, and they did not wash the third full moon, but only gave out a few red-skinned eggs, which can be regarded as announcing Shu Mingzhuang's birth. There are good people who say that Shu Mingzhuang's child is not Shu Laosan's species, especially the widow Wang who came to visit Wang Yufen, sat down and left after seeing the child, making the rumors more and more eyebrows. Later, Shu Erlang's words let everyone know that Shu Mingzhuang was disabled. Good things don't go out, bad things spread quickly, some people say that Widow Wang is a mourning star, and Wang Yufen is also a mourning star, which has damaged the feng shui of the old Shu family.

Shu Laosan and the Shu family didn't want Wang Yufen to know these rumors, the former was for protection, and the latter was for face. But Wang Yufen, who returned to her parents' house during the Chinese New Year, still knew from her two sisters, and she didn't eat any angry food, so she dragged Shu Laosan and went home with an iron face. And after returning home, Aunt Shu, who came to her mother's house to pay New Year's greetings, did not let her go, and the words were extremely ugly. Wang Yufen's anger exploded on the spot, pulling Shu Ergu to fight.

At this time, Qinglan didn't know that she would have to face such a scene when she returned home, and she was giving the best paintings she had painted in the past few months to everyone in her grandfather's house, and everyone praised her and encouraged her to keep up her good work. Uncle Pan took out a set of painting utensils and paints specially bought for his niece and gave it to her. Qinglan is very happy holding her painting tools, she has her own painting tools, and she will be able to paint in her own home in the future.
