Chapter 2 Rites
It was very lively under the old banyan tree, and everyone gathered around the ancestors of the Zhu family to talk.
After the old lady and husband of the Shu family finished their business, they looked at the lively crowd, and the two packed up their offerings and walked home.
Ten years ago, the mayor of Shuangjing Town complied with the government's announcement and asked the townspeople to plant trees on both sides of the road.
When the wind blows, the leaves make a soft sound, and the low-hanging branches seem to sway to greet passers-by.
Yang's heart was a little uncomfortable, he reached out to break a branch, and then waved it two or three times.
When the fork in the road arrived, the old lady of the Shu family, who was walking in front, stopped and said to the Yang family behind, "I'll go and tell the patriarch Ling'er's name." Today's day is good, just ask the patriarch to officially register Ling'er on the family tree. ”
The Yang family handed over the offerings in his hand to the old lady of the Shu family, and if he wanted to ask the patriarch to do big things, he couldn't come to the door empty-handed.
The old lady of the Shu family walked to the other road, and the Yang family continued to walk home, and met the neighbor women on the way, and casually said Shu Qiya's name.
Everyone praised it casually, Shu Qiya's name is good, and the future will be peaceful.
Just waited until the Yang family went away, asked each other about the news, and then whether it was intentional or unintentional, they walked under the old banyan tree at the entrance of the town.
When the Yang family returned home, he told Shu Qiya's name to the eldest daughter-in-law and the youngest daughter-in-law in the family, and then looked around and asked, "Where is Qiya, where is this meeting?" ”
"Mother, she just wanted to go out to play, and I will coax her to play in the room this time."
Gao Xiaorui and the Yang family explained Shu Qiya's whereabouts, and the Yang family said after hearing it: "I'll go see her." ”
After the Yang family left, Zhou Damei hesitated a little and said, "Little brother and sister, I remember that my mother didn't give Qiya this name before?" ”
Gao Xiaorui nodded, and Zhou Damei thought for a while: "Little brother and sister, I'll go to the old banyan tree for the next trip." ”
After Zhou Damei left, Gao Xiaorui closed the courtyard door lightly, and she walked to the room.
"Zuzu, hee-hee, Sanhua and Xiaohua are good friends."
Shu Qiya's voice came out, and Gao Xiaorui showed a smile on her face, she liked the name Shu Ling.
Of course, the name Shu Xin is not bad, but for a lifetime, where can you live comfortably in everything.
But as long as people are smart, no matter what happens in the future, they can turn evil into good fortune.
Zhou Damei came back from under the old banyan tree, and her face was a little unhappy.
In the room, Gao Xiaorui sat on the side and watched the interaction between the Yang family's ancestors and grandchildren, and Yang's eyes were full of smiles.
She looked up and saw Zhou Damei at the door of the room, and after seeing her beckoning, she got up and walked out of the door.
Zhou Damei dragged Gao Xiaorui to the backyard, and told Gao Xiaorui the news she heard under the old banyan tree very carefully.
She sighed a little: "The people of the Zhu family are very good at doing good deeds. If they really have a heart, they will come to the house in the morning and say it, and the people in our family will also remember the Zhu family's favors. ”
Gao Xiaorui suddenly understood why after the Yang family came back, she didn't talk about the excitement under the old banyan tree, it turned out that the excitement was all the excitement of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhu family.
She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I like the name Shu Ling, Qiya will be a clever and good child in the future." ”
Zhou Damei has always felt that Shu Santie and his wife are both big-hearted people, but now listening to her, there is no unexpected reaction.
Zhou Damei looked left and right, and said with some feelings: "After the uncle of the Zhu family is gone, in the past few years, the actions of the aunt of the Zhu family have always been confusing.
After Yun Yatou fell ill, she now has a semi-psychic reputation. A half-grown girl has such a reputation, think about it, it's not a good thing? ”
Gao Xiaorui understood the meaning of Zhou Damei's words, generally well-paid people would not dare to marry a woman with such a reputation to enter the house.
Gao Xiaorui still remembered the kindness of the old lady of the Zhu family who reported the news back then, and she said to Zhou Damei: "No matter what, our husband and wife still have to think about Yun Yatou."
When Santie comes back, we will send a gift to Zhu's house in the evening to thank you. ”
"You husband and wife, you can always remember the good of others for a long time, even if it is just good by the way, you can also remember this kindness.
Over the years, during the New Year's holidays, you have always sent gifts to the Zhu family, and there is not much difference between you and serious relatives. ”
"Sister-in-law, there is still a difference. Serious relatives will often come and go, and we don't usually go to Zhu's house. ”
"It's been ten years, when the uncle of the Zhu family heard the news in the city, he told many families the good news, and only the third brother was angry, and he was admitted to the Ministry of Engineering as an errand with his own ability.
Your eldest brother and second brother both went to take the exam, and they didn't have the first attempt. ”
Ten years ago, when the Daxing Dynasty was established, and the government offices everywhere needed to employ people, Mrs. Zhu heard the news in the city, and he said to many people in Shuangjing Town: "For us ordinary people, this is a great opportunity to change the family." ”
The people in Shuangjing Town are all ordinary people, and everyone cherishes such an opportunity very much.
Many young people in Shuangjing Town went to the city to take the official examination, and only Shu Santie was able to read and write, and he had a little bit of iron-making skills, and was successfully admitted to the Ministry of Engineering as an errand boy.
The young people of the Zhu family also went to the city to take the exam, but their luck was not good, and the farthest they went also folded in the last exam.
After Shu Santie entered the city on an errand, he knew that the young people of the Zhu family had a lofty goal, they wanted to compete with the scholars of the big families in the city for official positions, and Zhu Lao Er's loss at the last hurdle was actually not a real loss.
In the evening, Shu Santie jumped out of the carriage and set a time for the next day's trip with the coachman.
Along the way, many people greeted him: "Shu Laosan, your Ling'er turned three years old today, you can also eat a few good dishes." ”
Shu Santie was stunned, suspecting that someone else had said the wrong name, but he took a few steps forward, and the people he met congratulated him like this.
He talked to the people he met with a smile on his face, and said with a smile, when he went out of the city gate today, the car was crowded with people.
After Shu Santie went home, he took the opportunity to ask the old lady of the Shu family about the situation, and after listening to the old lady of the Shu family, he said with a smile: "Dad, everyone has written down Ling'er's name, I think this name is better, it is a good name for a long life." ”
The old lady of the Shu family nodded with a smile and said: "The patriarch also said that this name is better, he said that people who read books always want to be perfect, in fact, the name of ordinary people does not need to ask for everything." ”
The unhappiness in the Yang family's original heart also completely dissipated after listening to the words of the patriarch of the Shu family.
She is now going to the kitchen to prepare the gifts that Shu Santie and his wife will give to the Zhu family.
