Chapter 52: Reluctance

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Xu Jun and Xu Jie were a little unsure of how to speak, before coming, their father had also explained that if the old lady didn't ask, don't mention it.

But I didn't expect that now the old lady didn't mention it, but Xu Shiqiu, who their brother wanted to help, mentioned it.

Since they had decided to follow Xu Shiqiu in the future, they couldn't deceive him from the beginning.

Just let them tell the truth, but some can't say it.

Looking at the reactions of the two brothers, Mrs. Xu sighed and was just about to speak, Xu Jie suddenly took the lead and said, "There are also a few brothers from the uncle's family who also want to come with us."

It's just that they have a lot of worries in their family, and the fathers are not the only ones in the family who can call the shots, so there is some delay.

When we came, they said that they would come and go with their families when they had harvested the grain this summer and had finished paying this year's grain in the tenants' fields. ”

What Xu Jie would say was indeed true, but Mrs. Xu didn't have much hope for this matter.

She has always understood the truth of people going to tea and cooling, not to mention that now her father-in-law has been dead for nine years.

If those people don't come, she can't blame them.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu hurriedly looked at Xu Jun and Xu Jie who were lower, and said, "It's already good to have a few of your brothers here." What's more, at the beginning, Shi Qiu didn't need so many people around him. After saying this, Mrs. Xu also looked at Xu Shiqiu, who was looking down.

Xu Shiqiu reacted quickly, and after receiving the hint from Mrs. Xu, he immediately looked at Xu Jun and Xu Jie and said, "That's true." I've had a lot of plans for a long time, but they don't happen overnight, and they all need to be done slowly. ”

After saying this, Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Jun and Xu Jie, who frowned and thought after hearing his words, thought for a while and continued: "What's more, the second brother and the third brother have nephews in the family, and some small things can also train them and leave them to do." ”

Xu Shiqiu knew that people's hearts were hard to buy, and as long as the brothers of Uncle Xu's family were sincere for him, he would naturally treat them sincerely.

The heirs of their family, he will naturally look at the promotion, and if there is a suitable one, he will naturally arrange a future for them.

Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Jun and Xu Jie again and said: "It just so happens that the cousin of the lady will come to learn literacy and settle accounts in a few days, and then several brothers and nephews and nieces in the family can also come to learn together." ”

Xu Shiqiu watched Xu Jun and Xu Jiegang finish saying this, and Xu Jun, who had an eldest daughter, immediately looked at Xu Shiqiu in surprise and said, "Can my sister also learn to read and settle accounts?" ”

Xu Jun's tone was a little excited and expectant, Xu Shiqiu didn't react for a while to who Xu Jun said about 'Sister Li'er', until Xu Jie helped explain that Sister Li was Xu Jun's eldest daughter who was just ten years old this year, Xu Shiqiu nodded affirmatively: "It's okay."

Originally, the lady's cousin was learning from me, and when I look for an old gentleman these days, he will teach you for half a day in the future, and I will teach you for half a day.

The old gentleman didn't want to teach women, but I did, and my wife has always learned from me. ”

Xu Shiqiu made it clear that he did not promise to persuade the old gentleman to be willing to teach women, but said that he would teach herself.

It is precisely because Xu Shiqiu said this that Xu Jun and Xu Jie both believed that he was telling the truth at this time.

Seeing that they were all discussing the matter of learning literacy and settling accounts, Dong Shu hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled Xu Shiqiu's sleeve, and then said softly: "Xianggong, the two brothers have worked hard all the way, so let them rest." ”

Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu as soon as he finished saying this, and Xu Shiqiu, who wanted to continue to speak, was immediately stunned, and then looked at Xu Jun and Xu Jie with a little shame and said: "Blame me, I had a good conversation with the two brothers for a while, but I forgot that the two brothers had just arrived, and they didn't have time to wash and rest." ”

After saying this, Xu Shiqiu saw Xu Jun and Xu Jie shaking their heads at him, and continued: "I will order the servant to lead the two brothers to wash and rest, and then drink and talk with the two brothers in the evening." ”

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Xu Jun and Xu Jie could only suppress their excitement and obey Xu Shiqiu's arrangement.

What's more, they did need to wash and rest, so after Xu Shiqiu's words fell, they directly saluted Mrs. Xu and retreated, and then followed the green flowers who led the way towards Tingfeng Courtyard.

After Xu Jun and Xu Jie left, Mrs. Xu put away the smile on her face, looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Although only a few brothers from your second uncle's family came, there are many men in their family, and you will not be less helpers in the future." ”

Hearing that his mother was comforting herself, Xu Shiqiu hurriedly looked at Mrs. Xu and said, "Mother, you don't need to worry, the people who came to help me are not too much, and I know it in my heart." ”

Xu Shiqiu looked at Mrs. Xu and just finished saying this, Mrs. Xu looked at him and sighed: "Your eldest brother and second brother have helpers, but you don't." Now that you have started to do things in your twenties, my mother is afraid that after my mother closes her eyes, she will not be able to explain to your father. ”

Mrs. Xu's age is indeed not young, according to her estimates, she will definitely have no problem living for another three years, and she is now afraid that after three years, Xu Shiqiu has not yet made some achievements.

It's not that Mrs. Xu doesn't believe in her son's ability, but Xu Shiqiu's fate is too peculiar, and she is worried that Xu Shiqiu's bad luck will affect what he will do in the future.

Xu Shiqiu understood what his mother was worried about, looked at his mother, and thought for a long time, Xu Shiqiu finally spoke: "Mother, I just gave myself a chance to try." In the future, I will also be a man who wants to support my mother and children, and I can't always rely on my father and the family business you left me to eat and wait for death.

If I really can't get rid of bad luck, then I have worked hard after all, and I will not live with regrets. Speaking of this, Xu Shiqiu paused for a moment before continuing: "What's more, now that I have married my wife, my bad luck has been suppressed, and as long as she is here, I will not affect others."

I believe that as long as the lady is by my side in the future, I will be able to continue to suppress bad luck. ”

Xu Shiqiu's words were sincere, and when he heard his words, not only Mrs. Xu, but even Dong Shu was moved by Xu Shiqiu's determination.

She reached out to hold Xu Shiqiu's hand, and after passing the temperature to Xu Shiqiu through the palm of her hand, she spoke: "Xianggong, no matter what, I will accompany you." ”

As soon as Dong Shu's words fell, Xu Shiqiu immediately ignored the fact that Mrs. Xu was still there, raised her hand and put it to her lips and kissed it gently, and then said, "Lady, don't worry, I will definitely let you live a good life." ”

Dong Shu didn't expect Xu Shiqiu to make such a move in front of her mother-in-law, her cheeks were slightly red, she secretly glanced at her mother-in-law, and after seeing that her mother-in-law didn't blame them, she looked at Xu Shiqiu with shame and said, "Xianggong, why do you kiss me?" ”

Sensing the little lady's nervousness and seeing her faint fear, Xu Shiqiu immediately raised the hands of the two of them clasped together, and kissed the back of her hand despite her struggle.

Seeing that the little lady stared at the crescent moon with a look of disbelief, Xu Shiqiu looked at her and replied seriously: "I just want to kiss you." ”

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's explanation, Dong Shu was still stunned, but Mrs. Xu, who was sitting at the top, couldn't listen to it, and only felt that her teeth were sore.

However, seeing that her son and daughter-in-law have a good relationship, Mrs. Xu is also happy.

She didn't bother the two of them, but just got up while Dong Shu was still stunned and left the hall, leaving Dong Shu with blushing cheeks alone and Xu Shiqiu, who had noticed her movements as early as when she got up.

Xu Shiqiu noticed it when Mrs. Xu was about to leave, but he was still staring at Dong Shu at that time, so he didn't get up to send his mother away.

As soon as his mother left, Xu Shiqiu, who had long wanted to hug the little lady, immediately pulled Dong Shu up and pulled her from the chair next to her into her arms and hugged her tightly.

Where did Dong Shu think that Xu Shiqiu would do such a thing, she was very nervous when she was first pulled up by Xu Shiqiu, and hurriedly turned her head to look at her mother-in-law.

After seeing that his mother-in-law was not here, he just breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment he was tightly hugged by Xu Shiqiu, and his lips just fell on her ears.

Dong Shu didn't expect Xu Shiqiu to do such a thing, although the two of them had already done something more intimate than this, but not only was this not on their own territory, but there were servants outside, and her mother-in-law was still sitting here just now.

As soon as she thought of this, Dong Shu couldn't help but be shy.

Xu Shiqiu just looked at Dong Shu's ears and the roots of his ears were red, then he put away the thoughts he was playing with just now, and said to Dong Shu seriously: "Lady, I can't guarantee now that the bad luck I brought with me that day will not affect you."

So I can only do more things while you can still suppress my bad luck, and earn you more money. ”

Even if you can't suppress my bad luck in the future, when I send you away, I can give you some more things, so that you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future.

Xu Shiqiu didn't say the latter sentence, but just thought about it in his heart.

But Dong Shu still heard a hint of something wrong in his tone.

Dong Shu didn't understand why Xianggong insisted that she suppressed his bad luck, although she had heard the rumors about Xianggong before, but she didn't believe it.

So when Xu Shiqiu looked at her with reluctant eyes, she subconsciously hugged Xu Shiqiu's neck, and quickly dropped a kiss on his lips with a side face and said, "Xianggong, since I married you, then we should have been together all the time." After saying this, Dong Shu frowned and thought for a while, and then remembered what Xu Yanzhu had said.

She looked at Xu Shiqiu and said in a very serious tone: "Xianggong, I heard Yanzhu say a sentence called 'life and death', I want to be like this." ”

Dong Shu said seriously, and Xu Shiqiu, who heard her words, was stunned for a while, not knowing how to answer.

He really didn't expect that the little lady would know this allusion, and he used it accurately.

Looking at the little lady's serious expression, Xu Shiqiu could only sigh helplessly in the end, and then hugged her tightly into his arms.

has such a little lady who loves him wholeheartedly, how can he let her have an accident.
