Chapter 23: Hope
Gao Xiaorui left the room with Shu Ling in her arms, and when the mother and daughter went outside, the wind was fast, and Gao Xiaorui squinted.
Shu Ling suddenly buried his face in Gao Xiaorui's arms: "Mother, there is sand." ”
Gao Xiaorui flashed her body back a little nervously, and looked down at her daughter: "Sand in your eyes?" ”
"Nope. The wind blows the face and hurts. ”
Gao Xiaorui thought about her daughter's little tender face, she really couldn't withstand too much wind and rain, and comforted at the moment: "You are hiding." ”
Shu Ling surged a few times in Gao Xiaorui's arms, Gao Xiaorui reached out and patted her little buttocks, and she couldn't move.
Gao Xiaorui's mother and son went to the front yard, Zhou Damei stood in the yard and looked at the sky, Gao Xiaorui followed curiously, bowed her head and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?" ”
"At this time of year, the wind is so strong, I think it's a little weird, and when I look at the sky, I can't see any changes."
"Sister-in-law, there are dark clouds in the sky, a little thicker than usual, wait a while, it should rain."
"It's raining, I'll go out and buy some groceries and come back."
Zhou Damei went into the kitchen with a bamboo basket and hurriedly walked out of the courtyard door.
Gao Xiaorui put her daughter down: "Ling'er, you go to find your grandmother." ”
She hurriedly followed out of the courtyard door: "Sister-in-law, I'll go shopping with you." ”
She turned around and waved her fist at Shu Ling, who came out: "Qiya, hurry back." ”
Shu Ling obediently retracted her head, and after waiting for a while, she went out to see that Zhou Damei had already walked away.
Shu Ling stood at the gate of the courtyard, the wind was very strong, she naughtily followed the wind, and her little body crooked to play.
Yang heard Gao Xiaorui's words in the room, but he never waited for Shu Ling, so he came out of the room to take a look.
There was no one in the yard, she looked up and saw the little figure at the gate of the yard, who was blown by the wind and couldn't stand, and hurriedly trotted over, only to find that it was Shu Ling who was playing naughtily in the direction of the wind.
She was not angry and nodded Shu Ling with her hand: "You are too skinny, more skinny than your brothers and sisters." ”
When Shu Ling saw Yang's, he said with an excited look on his face: "Grandmother, it's so fun, you don't have to work hard." ”
Yang looked at her with a little headache: "Ling'er, this time the wind is small, you can play like this." When the wind is strong, you little man will be blown down by the wind. ”
Shu Ling stretched out his hand to Yang's, looked up and asked Yang's: "Grandmother, is Ling'er's face dirty?" ”
Yang wiped her face with his hand: "It's dirty, let's go, I'll go back and wash your face and apply a layer of fragrant cream to you." ”
"Okay." Shu Ling shouted happily.
After Shu Santie woke up, he couldn't hear a sound in his yard, so he stretched out his hands and stretched out.
It was dark outside, and he listened to the wind and chose to lie down on the bed for a while.
Their department was very busy these days, and he drove the first carriage into the carriage almost every day, and then took the last carriage out of the city gate at night.
When I'm at home at night, I don't dare to really relax, and I reflect on what I did during the day.
Gao Xiaorui came in from outside, saw Shu Santie lying on the bed, and reminded: "It's not early, it's about to rain heavily outside."
My sister-in-law and I just went to the market to buy some vegetables and came back, what do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you later. ”
Shu Santie likes to listen to Gao Xiaorui talk about family things, no matter what kind of things he faces outside, as long as he comes home and someone talks to him about things at home, he feels that all the efforts are worth it.
"No, I'll lie down a little longer. We will have Chinese food together for a while. It's so dark, will the kids come back at noon? ”
"When we went to the market to buy vegetables, we had already gone to the embroidery shop to say hello to the school, so they didn't have to come back for lunch to eat."
"Okay, where is Ling'er?"
"She's in the front yard with her parents, and her father is now teaching her to recognize numbers."
"I never imagined that my father would be such an impatient person, and he would be willing to teach Ling'er these things."
Gao Xiaorui laughed: "Mother said, this is their ancestors and grandchildren." With Ling'er with her father, her father is willing to sit at home for a while. ”
The old lady of the Shu family is a person who can't be idle, after he doesn't go to the blacksmith shop to do chores, and after he comes back, he has never really been idle at home, he will always find something to do for himself.
He went up to the mountains to hunt with people, so naturally he didn't get anything, but he was happy.
After Shu Datie persuaded him several times, he let the old lady of the Shu family act willfully.
As a result, the old lady of the Shu family was not interested in going up the mountain, and turned her head to learn carpentry from others, so there were some more weird-shaped benches at home.
The children are very fond of the things made by the old lady of the Shu family, especially Shu Ling likes the small bench that the old lady of the Shu family made for her.
The old lady of the Shu family soon lost interest in doing carpentry again, and now he likes to play chess, but his chess skills are really not good, but he is particularly addicted to chess.
This time, the Shu family was particularly supportive of the old lady of the Shu family's hobby, and Shu Santie also specially bought a chess game for the old lady of the Shu family, but the old lady of the Shu family gave it away.
"Third child, do you look down on your father's decades of wisdom when you buy me a beginner's chess game?"
Shu Santie hurriedly explained: "Dad, you are a person with great wisdom, and you complain that your son is not smart.
I asked the bookstore to help me choose a book, I said it was a beginner, who knew that my father's chess skills are already amazing, and he doesn't need this chess book.
Dad, I learned by myself, and strive to learn this chess game one day earlier, so that I can act like a game of chess in the future, taking one step and seeing three moves. ”
After Shu Santie got the chess game back, he turned his head and said to Shu Datie: "Big brother, my father still has some talent for chess. ”
"The old boss said that Dad is actually a very smart person, but after he learned the fur, he was not interested in going further."
"Big brother, striking iron is different, striking iron is hard work, my father and we are not naturally strong people, he really wants to be interested, I'm afraid that people will not be able to do it when they reach middle age."
Shu Datie understood Shu Santie's words, he had worked in the blacksmith shop for so many years, and he had never been able to be a master, that is, his strength was not as good as others.
Shu Datie's brothers all look forward to their son's generation not having to do such hard work, but a few years ago, the family was hard, Shu Datie's room Shu Xianfang and Shu Xian's brothers were sensible, and after studying in the school for a few years, they insisted on coming out to learn a craft.
Now Shu Xianzhong, the eldest son of Shu Ertie, is already learning from his uncle's family, and only Shu Xianli and Shu Xiantong are still studying in the school.
Shu Santie's three sons in this room, the eldest son Shu Xianming has gone to the city to study, Shu Xianxi and Shu Xianqi are young and are still studying in the town school.
The Shu Santie brothers hope that these five children can continue to study, even if only one of them can get ahead in reading in the future, it can also let them see the hope of the Shu family to truly change their family.
