Chapter 237: Apprentices and Pets
When Shen Li heard this, he was suddenly stunned: Yes, that's how it feels.
She had long been accustomed to it, sweet to greasy, thick to melt the love, afraid of you cold, afraid of you hot, afraid of you suffering, afraid of you unhappy, always with your heart only pretending to be your love, she knew that feeling.
Mu Bai is like this.
That kind of habitual pampering is so subtle that it is everywhere: when she eats the jerky she likes, he will pick it out and keep it in her bowl; when she is tired from the high mountain road, he will take the initiative to squat down and carry her; when she is pushed into the river by the aunt, he will jump without hesitation.
Even if she has been practicing for thousands of years and her catastrophe is coming, he still quietly suffers for her without saying a word. If she hadn't seen the scars on his back, she still wouldn't have known what a terrible catastrophe it was.
She suddenly thought a little sadly: there will probably never be another person in this world who is so good to her except him.
That kind of good, it can be as silent as rain and everything, or it can be earth-shattering and vigorous, how can people give up? However, he has spoiled her for more than a thousand years, can he just say and leave?
She is unwilling and doesn't believe it, can anyone who is an immortal be so ruthless?
Master Shen didn't notice that her thoughts gradually drifted away, and he smiled and continued: "The world says that Maxima is common, but Bole is not often, so it is also her blessing to meet me!"
There was a trace of bitterness in his heart inexplicably, and Shen Li said quietly: "Yes, you are all blessed. ”
"Eh, I was fine just now, why did I cry all of a sudden?"
Master Shen caught a glimpse of the tears in her eyes and couldn't help but be shocked. He is the most unbearable to see a woman crying, if Shen Li was in trouble when he was a child, he would be punished, as long as he cried with his father, Master Shen would protect her to death, and not let Xu Zhao's board touch her a little.
Seeing that Shen Li bowed his head and was silent, he thought that he had just spoken to the second room, she felt wronged, and immediately coaxed distressedly:
"Good daughter, Dad was confused just now, I shouldn't have scolded you! You are the most sensible, if Dad says something serious, don't take it to heart." ”
When Shen Li saw his helpless appearance, he realized that he was actually crying. sighed silently in his heart, stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, but he was full of worries but it was not good to say anything to him, so he had to smile reluctantly, shook his head and said:
"No, I just suddenly felt that Meng Qingyi's life was too hard, and if he married such a stupid thing who didn't know what to do, I was afraid that he would have to suffer in the future, but it's a pity. ”
When Master Shen heard this, he also sighed: "Alas, Shen Xiaolin is blessed to meet nobles, but he is not blessed, and he is also uncreated. It takes a bit of luck to meet the person you like, but unfortunately, not everyone can achieve a positive result. ”
When Shen Li heard this, his heart couldn't help but move.
"Like, me and your mother. ”
Master Shen touched her head and recalled with a smile: "I still remember the first time I saw her at the entrance of the village, she was mixed with a group of peasant women, walking on the way home from farm work. Unfortunately, it started to rain all of a sudden. Everyone ran around in embarrassment, cursing the bad weather - only she, folding leaves into umbrellas, walked slowly, even if most of her clothes were wet, her mouth still groaned: Bamboo canes and shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? ”
Speaking of this, even Shen Li couldn't help but secretly sigh at her calmness and open-mindedness, but he heard Master Shen sigh again: "A woman who can read poetry!
"Wait, shouldn't it be her attitude towards life that attracts you?"
Master Shen didn't think so: "What's the matter, temperament! The key is temperament! Those who have read books are different! No matter what kind of unlucky widow they say she is, this is the fairy in the sky! I only know that if I don't marry this woman home, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life!"
It was the first time Shen Li had heard his father mention the past.
Shen Wenxian was the son of the Shen family, and at that time, it was the young master Shen who was going to become the head of the family in the future! God knows how he persuaded his mother to be so stubborn and strong, suppressed so much criticism, and married the widow Xu Zhao as his wife? Also, Xu Zhao gave birth to Shen Li five years after passing the door, and according to the Shen family's tradition of male superiority and female inferiority, it must be that the whole family will force Master Shen to marry another concubine and open up branches for the long house, just like the fourth master, one wife and three concubines, which can be regarded as a routine operation.
But he didn't do this, but chose to inherit the family business with his three sons, and never let his wife suffer any grievances. Even in normal times, he always defends his wife everywhere, even if he is ridiculed and afraid of his wife, he doesn't care.
Shen Li looked at him with a complicated expression, and twitched the corners of his mouth: "But, I still remember now, the old grandmother is so fierce and terrible! I almost don't remember that she smiled at me! How could you convince her to let my mother enter the door back then?"
Shen Li suddenly felt that the difficulty of Father Shen's marriage to Xu Zhao and entering the door was no less than pulling Mu Bai back and pressing him to the ground to make him confess why he refused to marry me.
Old Man Shen let out a long sigh and said, "Alas, in this life, people will always encounter some difficulties. As the saying goes, nine times out of ten, who can always have smooth sailing! When you encounter a problem, you can find a way to solve it......
Seeing him grinding and chirping around without getting to the point, Shen Li couldn't help but say angrily: "I understand the big truth!
Shen Wenxian is a common man, without spells and without a fairy father and fox brother as helpers, one person has to fight against the whole family, and even the whole village, and he not only succeeded in marrying Xu Zhao into the door, but also helped her to the position of the head mother of the family, and monopolized the power - the whole thing is too powerful when you think about it, right?
"Hey, hey. ”
Old Man Shen's old face turned red, scratched his head a little embarrassed, and only after a long time did he speak: "Your grandmother, after all, that is my own mother, what can I do? ”
“......”
Shocked! It turns out that the trick of pretending to be cute is not unique to her, it is the ancestral inheritance of the Shen family! It's just that a big black and strong man like Daddy also makes this trick, and the picture feels spicy when you think about it.
"She has limited knowledge and can't read a few big characters, so how can she know how good your mother is? Besides, most of the ignorant village women are superstitious, and they love to gossip, and they arrange your mother like a man-eating monster, so it's no wonder that she is so stubborn. ”
Master Shen said again:
"According to her old man's vision, I have to marry someone with an innocent and diligent family background, a strong body, and a good child, and a very obedient person! At that time, your mother's reputation was not good, and she still thought that your mother had played tricks and was planning to climb the high branches of our family, so she didn't agree! But I knew in my heart: If it weren't for the disaster that happened to your mother's family, and the bird broke her wings and fell into this mountain nest, how could I have been so blessed to marry her?"
Shen Li couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this: "The Honghu with folded wings is also a Honghu! What does my mother like about you?"
Master Shen spread his hands: "That's what I'm talking about! In this marriage, my mother doesn't agree to marry an unlucky widow to enter the door, and your mother doesn't want to deign to marry a mountain village husband, it's too difficult for me." ”
"It's really hard!"
Shen Li barely held back a smile and said with a sympathetic expression.
"It's hard to be a human being. ”
Master Shen also smiled and said: "It's man-made! I really had a miserable time during that time." On the one hand, I want the old lady to know that your mother is good, and on the other hand, I want to please your mother, so that she knows that although I am a country husband, I also know cold and hot, and will treat her well for the rest of my life. ”
"Dad, you're really amazing. ”
Shen Li's praise was sincere, and his expression was extremely serious.
"At the beginning, if I wanted to save trouble and believed the nonsense of others' saying 'life is determined in a few days, everything is fate', at most I am a tight landlord at this time, and I work hard all day long for the family, where does Shenjiazhuang have today's prosperity and scenery?"
The words 'everything is fate' are exactly what hit Shen Li's heart, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she nodded again and again:
"Yes! It's man-made!"
"Life is like sailing against the current, it's simple, but if you want to get things done, you have to put in the effort. There are some things that may not be successful even if you try hard, but how can you know if you don't try it?"
Old Master Shen said earnestly: "Just like at the beginning, although your mother is in a bad situation, Honghu is Honghu after all! I, the young master of the landlord's family, is a decent person in the eyes of others, and she is a bird, and people don't care about me at all." ”
Shen Li grinned and said, "I'm curious, how did the bird's bird get the heart of the bird?"
"Ahem. ”
Speaking of this topic, Master Shen looked left and right with some jealousy, and made sure that there was no one inside or outside the house, so he whispered: "In those days, your father and I ran to Mengjiazhuang, more than 30 miles away, every day, and followed a group of yellow-toothed children to study in Mr. Meng's private school, from "Analects" and "Book of Songs" to "The Mean" and "University".
"Wow, tsk. ”
Unexpectedly, this is still an inspirational story of a gentleman who studies hard for love?
Shen Li wanted to laugh at him for a few words, but suddenly thought of the fact that in order to avenge Mu Bai's indifference, he was determined to change his life against the sky and read history books for several days behind closed doors to find inspiration, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
"Of course, I also know that no matter how hard I try, I am not born to study!"
Master Shen sighed and said: "I know that I am stupid, and I also know that your mother's knowledge and vision are not comparable to ordinary people! I just think that even if it is out of reach, it would be good to be close to her! At least in the future, when I am old, when I think back on this matter, I will not feel regret because I did not try my best to fight for it, but I have a clear conscience." ”
Unexpectedly, Master Shen, who didn't read much and regarded himself as a bird, could actually say such a thing, and Shen Lizhen was really impressed by him.
Shen Li couldn't help but think about himself again: if you choose to accept your fate, this life will be a lot easier, just find someone to marry, and wait for the end of your life in the future, and you can go to heaven to be a god as soon as the day comes;
But she was not reconciled!
As my father said, in the future, when she really becomes an immortal, standing in the Nine Heavens and looking back on this mediocre life, and Mu Bai will miss it forever, will she regret it?
Speaking of the old things of the year, Master Shen couldn't help but smile, and continued: "Your mother originally thought that I was a young master, and I felt rare when I saw her for a while, and when the freshness passed in three or two months, this matter would be over." As a result, I didn't expect that I was diligent in studying almost every day, and I went to talk to her when I had time. Later, even my mother was relented, and the whole village said that I was fascinated by a widow, hahaha. ”
Shen Li's face was full of admiration.
Master Shen suddenly patted her on the shoulder with a serious expression: "Reading can change people's temperament, this is absolutely true." ”
This conclusion surprised Shen Li a little, and said with a smile: "Why isn't it 'as long as the kung fu is deep and the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle'?
Master Shen waved his hand: "If people don't like you, and you still stick to it, it's a stinky shame! If you don't have the slightest affection, the word 'persistence' is meaningless! You can only attract people's hatred." ”
