Chapter 8: Surprise

After sitting for a while, Lin Xiaoliang was pushed to the room to rest.

The house that Shen Chi bought for his grandfather and grandmother is very spacious, although there are only three rooms, but the area is not small, according to the pattern of later generations, it is not smaller than those three-bedroom and two-hall households.

Lin Xiaoliang now lives in the room where Shen Chi lived before, which is not big, but the location is good, the sun is facing and ventilated, and you can see the persimmon tree in the yard when you open the window. She looked at it, and the room was obviously freshly cleaned, and the quilt seemed to have just been sunburned, and it was full of the smell of sunshine.

"Sister-in-law, aren't you sleeping?" At this time, Shen Xiu walked in with a hot water bottle.

"I'm not sleepy, you talk to me." Lin Xiaoliang smiled slightly, her eyes were typical apricot eyes, her eyes were light and warm, and she was especially intoxicating when she smiled.

Shen Xiu looked a little stunned, and blurted out: "Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful." ”

Lin Xiaoliang was slightly stunned and smiled more and more heartily, "Xiu'er is also very beautiful." "As a woman, it's impossible to say that she doesn't care about her appearance, but she lived to that age in her previous life, and during this period as a single woman, she caused a lot of unnecessary trouble to herself because of her appearance, and she was somewhat downbeat about it.

Only Shen Xiu's heartfelt praise made her inevitably feel happy when she heard it.

"Sister-in-law, don't comfort me, the male classmates in the class say I'm ugly." Shen Xiu pursed her lips unhappily.

"Male classmates?" Lin Xiaoliang raised his eyebrows lightly, and quickly looked at Shen Xiu with his eyes.

Although her sister-in-law can only be regarded as delicate, and her skin is a little unhealthy yellow, a pair of big eyes that are looking forward to it are completely enough to make up for these small problems.

Don't look at how open Xiu'er is in front of herself and others, Lin Xiaoliang can completely imagine what she will look like at school.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, when love first blossomed, and at a confused and restless age, I want to know why Xiu'er's male classmates said those kinds of things.

However, people in this era are really simple, and in later generations, kindergarten children have higher emotional intelligence than those boys today.

Shen Xiu didn't know what was going on in her sister-in-law's mind, so she nodded and said distressedly: "I don't seem to be very likable, male classmates always tease me, and female classmates don't pay much attention to me except Yaya and Meiling." ”

Lin Xiaoliang was funny in his heart, but he said with a serious face: "I think the problem may be with yourself, Xiu'er, you are too shy, maybe you can learn to take the initiative, if you keep waiting for others to talk to you, it may be a little difficult." ”

The sister-in-law is still young, and even if she knows the reason, she doesn't feel that it is appropriate to tell her, so as not to add to the trouble, but her words are not casual and perfunctory. She likes Xiu'er's temperament very much, but she is too passive, and it is easy to suffer in society.

With the development of the times, social competitiveness is getting stronger and stronger, and people who take the initiative and know how to fight can live better.

"Is that so?" Shen Xiu was stunned and hesitated.

"Of course." Lin Xiaoyan raised his hand and stroked Shen Xiu's bangs, and said with a calm face: "People's energy is limited, and they may not even be able to take care of their own affairs, let alone other people. Do you think, if you forget the eraser at the same table at home and he doesn't tell you, will you think of lending him the eraser? While you're listening attentively. ”

“…… No. "Shen Xiu is a sincere person.

"Look." Lin Xiaoliang smiled: "Xiu'er has something to concentrate on, and everyone is the same, because you are too concentrated, so you can't hear Xiu'er's voice that you want to make friends with them." ”

"I see." Shen Xiu was a little dumbfounded.

Lin Xiaoliang reached out and touched her head, and said with a smile: "So, Xiu'er is okay to tell them?" You want to be friends with them. ”

She didn't expect her to turn Shen Xiu's temperament around with just a few words, but everything has a beginning, and only with the first step can there be more steps in the future.

Outside the door, Shen Chi carefully retracted the leg that was about to step out, and retreated to the kitchen with a chuckle, "Grandma, I'll help you wash the dishes." ”

"Didn't you say you were going to accompany Wanwan, why did you come out?" Luo Yufang threw a piece of firewood into the stove and asked strangely.

Shen Chi smiled and squatted to the side of the vegetable washing basin, "Their sister-in-law is talking happily, so I won't go in and disturb it." ”

Saying this, the words Wanwan said to Xiu'er came to his mind.

For the object of his love at first sight, Shen Chi never denied that this liking stemmed from that delicate and beautiful face.

Perhaps because of this, he was negligent to the newlywed, his superficial liking was too shallow, and a man's sincerity is always closely linked to his actions.

But to say that he has no illusions about his daughter-in-law is a lie. After all, Lin Xiaoyan's reputation is really good, so he can't help but look forward to it.

Simple and high-minded, this was probably his initial impression of her.

If it weren't simple, it wouldn't be immersed in sadness, and it would be sold to such a point by relatives, and it would be high, which was a unique performance of a scholar.

In this regard, he can't say whether he likes it or hates it, and it's not bad to be simple, but what he needs in his situation is not a simple and ignorant wife, and a high-minded person is not bad, but such people are usually unsociable and easy to hit a wall in interpersonal communication.

But when he grew up so big, he met such a woman who touched his heart, and no amount of reason could defeat the throbbing in his heart, and once he found an opportunity, he quickly shot and caught the person in his hands.

This time his daughter-in-law was bullied and almost miscarried, although he felt guilty and remorseful, he was not disappointed, not that he felt that she was cowardly, but a subtle feeling of "it turned out to be nothing more than that".

Men, no matter how calm and rational they are, they will always beautify their sweethearts infinitely in their hearts, and Shen Chi has not been able to avoid vulgarity.

Even if he clearly recognizes what kind of person his daughter-in-law is, he still can't help but feel that the person he likes must have something special and can become a special case, and he can't help but expect the other party to surprise him in the bottom of his heart.

This kind of psychology is very subtle, even Shen Chi himself discovered it at this time-

Lin Xiaoliang's words seemed to be just encouraging Shen Xiu to be more cheerful, but they could reveal some clues from the side.

First of all, Shen Chi determined that his daughter-in-law was not a simple person.

As a girl who was only one year older than Xiu'er, if she was simple, she wouldn't have heard the psychology of those male classmates in Xiu'er's mouth - from the shallow smile in her eyes, Shen Chi was sure that this girl had insight into the childish methods of those male classmates chasing girls.

Similarly, if she were simple, she would not hide the intentions of those male classmates from Xiu'er, but would tease Xiu'er because of the playful and noisy nature of young people, and she would not know how to guide Xiu'er to change her personality so quietly.

Although his face is still immature, there is already a soul-stirring elegance in his quiet and introverted eyes.

In time, it will shine brightly.

Full of surprises, Shen Chi's heart was filled, and it was only because of this that he realized the vague thoughts in his heart that he had not even consciously realized all along.

His mood was undoubtedly complicated, but more of it was the excitement of expecting to be satisfied, and he wanted to rush out of the yard and run two laps at full speed to vent the surging heat in his heart.

In her previous life, Shen Chi gradually fell into her heart after Lin Xiaoliang moved to the magic capital and began to show her edge in the workplace, and truly became a captive of love. Now, an unintentional move by Lin Xiaoliang has accelerated the process.

At this time, she still didn't know anything about it, and talked to Shen Xiu with a smile.

"I'm going to take the soles I've saved up to the market tomorrow and sell them, sister-in-law, what do you want to eat?" I've got the money to buy it for you. Shen Xiu asked while sorting out Lin Xiaoliang's clothes.

The soles of the shoes she said Lin Xiaoliang also knew that at this time, the people on their side were basically wearing clothes made by themselves or buying cloth and spending money to hire tailors, and the same was true for shoes.

This will not be the future generations, people in the countryside almost all have to engage in manual labor, if the shoes are not worn, not only affect the work, but also make people spend money painfully.

In this way, the mille-feuille bottom has become the most popular existence. However, the production process of mille-feuille bottom is complicated and time-consuming, and the daughter-in-law in charge usually does not have so much time and energy to do it, and some do not have such exquisite craftsmanship. In this way, selling mille-feuille bottoms has become the best way for some girls who have not yet come out of the cabinet and energetic old ladies to make extra money.

This job looks small, if you really work hard, you can make a lot of money, a pair of soles can be sold for a dime, and if you do a good job, you can even sell for two cents, and people who live slowly can also make five or six pairs of soles a month, and the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar of the family are enough.

Lin Xiaoliang has also done this work, and she has good craftsmanship and works fast, taking advantage of the time after school and vacation, she can make more than ten pairs of mille-feuille bottoms a month, and the selling price is still high, and the most she gets two yuan and eight cents a month.

But at that time, her father and aunt loved her, her pocket money was never less, and she spent the rest on her nephews and nieces except for occasionally buying some meat and vegetables to make some snacks to honor her father.

The four elder brothers are living a tight life, and even the nephews and nieces are also lower than the little playmates, Lin Xiaoliang is a precocious and sensible person, although there is not much difference in age from his nephews and nieces, but he has begun to learn how to be an elder.

Because of this, the four sisters-in-law have always been very grateful to her, and they have watched her grow up, so they take care of her on weekdays.

It's just that she thought that her brother and sister were harmonious, and her aunt and sister-in-law were suitable, and now she wants to come......

"You save the money you earn yourself, what are you doing to buy me something?" Hiding the mixed thoughts under his eyes, Lin Xiaoliang said helplessly.

"I have money and nowhere to spend it, what's wrong with giving my little nephew a supplement?" Shen Xiu looked unhappy.

"It's okay if you have this heart, I don't lack anything now." Lin Xiaoliang said with a smile.

Shen Xiu nodded, but planned to buy something for her sister-in-law depending on the situation at that time.
