See chapter XXVIII
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long.
The closer he got to the edge of the year, there were many things in the government, and Shu Santie did not go home for several days.
At night, when Gao Xiaorui was sleeping, she said to her youngest daughter: "Your father doesn't know if he slept at this time?" ”
"I didn't sleep, I didn't sleep, my dad must not have slept."
Gao Xiaorui listened to her words, and then laughed: "It's so far away, you know everything?" “
"Yes. Dad said, he loves me the most, and I am the dearest father. I don't want to sleep for a while, my dad must be thinking about me. ”
Gao Xiaorui listened to Shu Ling's words, thought secretly, and did not complain that Shu Jing competed with Shu Ling for favor in front of Shu Santie from time to time.
When she listened to Shu Ling's words, she was a little jealous of their father-daughter relationship.
"Ling'er, you and your father's secret, you can tell your mother, but don't tell your fifth sister."
"The fifth sister asked me, and I said that my father loved me the most, and she was about to cry.
The second sister said that she was careful, and said that her father was also the closest to the fifth sister, and I was not uncommon to worry about the fifth sister, anyway, my father loved me the most. ”
Gao Xiaorui only felt that her daughters' lives were too good, and they all had the leisure to worry about these things.
She will go to the embroidery shop tomorrow, and Shu Jing can now take on some simple manual work.
Shu Ling didn't know that she was blowing the pillow wind, she was very happy to tell Gao Xiaorui what she had seen and heard that day.
The Shu family was not surprised that the old lady of the Shu family was happy about Shu Ling's things, everyone was only surprised that he took Shu Ling out to meet friends for many days in a row.
A few years ago, in the neighboring town of Shuangjing Town, there was a tragedy.
The lieutenant chief led people from house to house to check whether there were any outsiders, and repeatedly told each family not to receive strangers.
The old lady of the Shu family was at home for several days in a row, until the old lady of the Liu family stood at the gate of the courtyard and said to him: "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself."
I have heard that the elders of that family were unkind and abused the eldest son and daughter-in-law, and the eldest son married a new love outside, and insisted on divorce his wife regardless of his affection, and killed his own son because of this.
The eldest son-in-law's mother's family disliked her for having no ability, and her son was gone, so she took the opportunity to poison while cooking, and the family was completely gone.
Now the investigation is the person who sells poison, and the person heard the news of the tragedy, and the master and apprentice fled overnight, but the landlord of the rented house was involved.
The government had invited him several times, and he really didn't know anything. ”
After hearing this, the old lady of the Shu family gasped: "People who have no way out have a bit of blood, so they can only do desperate things." ”
The old lady of the Liu family looked at him curiously: "The third child of your family is not at home these days, you don't even know about this matter?" ”
"The eldest and second eldest of my family are not people who like to inquire about news, and the third child does not have time to listen to everyone say some things."
"Yes, your sons are Bing Qing Yujie, and my sons are all laymen."
"Phew, your son is Bingqing Yujie, my son is an upright man, he has to be busy with his own affairs every day, so he naturally doesn't know what is going on outside."
The old lady of the Shu family was bored here for several days, and happened to go for a walk under the old banyan tree with the old lady of the Liu family.
When they arrived under the old banyan tree, there were already many people talking, and when they met the old lady of the Shu family and the old lady of the Liu family, they shared some news they had heard.
In the evening, the people in Shuangjing Town, except for the young children, had already heard about the tragedy in the town next door.
In the evening, everyone didn't dare to talk about such idle things, and waited until the next day, when the sky was bright, the old lady of the Shu family and the Yang family exchanged the news they heard.
It was found that the ending was the same, but the process was different.
The news that the old lady of the Shu family heard was very straightforward and not interesting.
The news that Yang heard was very tortuous, but the result was very happy.
The family hurt the family for the new love, but the new love had a rich lover in addition to him, and the new love conceived a child for the lover.
The lover's family has strict rules, and he only wants to have a few nights of fun with his new love, and he has never thought about long-term things.
heard that Xinhuan had a child, and said at the time that if it was his child, if the woman beat the child, he would not recognize the child.
The new love is reluctant to give up the child in her belly, and for the sake of her child, she can only force her eldest son to divorce his wife.
When the old lady of the Shu family heard the news of the Yang family, she was a little disbelieving at the moment: "This man finally cut off his roots for the sake of other people's children?" ”
"yes. They said that the investigating officer was careful before he found out what was going on. ”
The wind blew, and the husband and wife shrank their necks at the same time, and then stopped mentioning the matter.
When the old lady of the Shu family took Shu Ling out, Yang greeted: "You go home and have lunch, don't eat at someone else's house." ”
The old lady of the Shu family responded casually, and after leaving the courtyard door, he smiled and said to his granddaughter: "Your grandmother always thinks of some good things for us, and the house we went to today is arranged for two meals a day in winter." ”
"Oh, grandfather, can't they get up in the morning? Hee-hee, if my mother lets me sleep, I don't have to eat in the morning. ”
"Other people's families are not lazy, and they want to get up early every day, but they .......
I'll explain to you a little child, you just have to be obedient, and I'll take you out later. ”
"Grandfather, Ling'er is very well-behaved. My mother said that I was good, and my father would come back soon, I had been good for a long time, when will my father come back? ”
"Your dad will be busy a few more days, and he will be back. Your fourth brother will also come back together. ”
On this day, the grandparents went out in the morning, went home for dinner at noon, and in the afternoon, after the grandchildren took a nap, they went out for a while.
In the evening, the Yang family and the old lady of the Shu family smiled and said, "In the past few years, Ling'er can be by your side." When she is older, our great-grandson can be with you again. ”
"Tomorrow, if the third child doesn't go home yet. The day after tomorrow, I'll go into town and bring him some change of clothes. ”
"Okay. The third child sent the news home last time, saying that he would be busy for a while, so he would come back to rest for a few days. ”
In the evening of the next day, Shu Santie did not go home, nor did he ask anyone to pass on the news.
In the evening, the old lady of the Shu family told the family that he was going to go to the city.
"Dad, it's so cold, don't go into the city for your old man." Brother Shu Datie had a look of disapproval on his face.
The old lady of the Shu family understood their filial piety, but he still decided to go into the city.
"I'm in good shape now, and as long as there is no snow tomorrow, I'll go into the city in the morning."
After the Shu Datie brothers exchanged glances, Shu Datie said: "Dad, you enter the city one day later, I will go to the store tomorrow to talk to the shopkeeper, and I will accompany you into the city the day after tomorrow." ”
"No, I don't. I have two or three old friends in the city, and I want to meet them tomorrow. ”
In the evening, Shu Datie and Zhou Damei said: "The third child hasn't been home for a few days, and my father misses the third child." He is mainly going to see the third child tomorrow. ”
