Chapter 11 Raining
Author: Linglongxiu
Shu Ertie rolled his eyes at Mo Xiao: "Can my biological daughter be exactly the same as my niece?
I'm just older and have time to get to know the children. Ling'er is young and willing to get close to me, so I will naturally be closer to her. Don't talk about me, you yourself are very happy with Ling'er."
Mo Xiao naturally knew this, Shu Ling was indeed a delightful child.
"Yu'er is getting married, and Chu'er is getting older now, and will have to discuss marriage in a few years. If you want to be like your third brother and have your children get close to you in the future, you still have time to treat them well."
Mo Xiao reminded Shu Ertie that after hearing this, he thought for a while: "Lao San and I have different temperaments. Naturally, I treat them well in my heart, but I don't have to show it on my face. I am their father, and I believe they will be filial to me in the future."
."
Mo Xiao and Shu Ertie talked about some things on the street, and suddenly remembered something: "A few days ago, I heard someone said that the government in the city was recruiting people. After the third child returned home, did he talk to you and the eldest brother?
Say something?"
"I told you. But no one in our family can meet the most basic requirements. The third child said that as long as the children are willing to study, we will save money and provide for them."
Mo Xiao listened to his words and said with a wry smile: "Our family just depends on whether the two younger ones have the heart to study hard. I heard from my sister-in-law that in the autumn, the third child wants to send Ming'er to a school in the city?"
"The third child has been busy with this matter for the past few years. This year, he finally has something to show for it. Let Ming'er go to the city for half a year to get used to it."
"Does the third child want all the children in their room to become scholars?"
"The third child hopes that all the children in the family can read more books, but the eldest brother's son, Fang'er, works as a treasurer, and Xiang'er works as an apprentice in the blacksmith shop. Our son is now also studying with his uncle.
The eldest brother said that the two sons are already like this, and it will be up to the grandchildren in the future. We also have brothers Li'er and Zhi'er in our family, and you must encourage them to study more.
I can see clearly now that in the future there should still be scholars in the family, and the girls in the family can also marry into good families."
This night was originally an ordinary night, but because of Shu Ertie's words, Mo Xiao made a decision. She wanted to encourage the children at home to study hard.
It was daybreak, and it was getting dark again. For several days in a row, Shu Ling could not go out of the courtyard, and she gradually became anxious.
In the morning, it started to rain. Gao Xiaorui sent Shu Santie out and warned: "Our home is not far from the city, so don't rush to take the carriage.
If that doesn't work, you can also drive alone in a carriage."
Shu Santie smiled and said, "I understand. When it rains, you should stay at home with Ling'er. When the weather clears, you can let her go out to play with her friends."
"Yeah. Let's go."
Gao Xiaorui stood at the door of the courtyard and looked at Shu Santie's back as he gradually faded away. Then she turned around and returned to the courtyard.
When Shu Ling woke up, the room was very dark. Gao Xiaorui lit a candle. Hearing her daughter's movements, she came over with a smile: "Ling'er, wake up."
"Mom, it's still dark and I'm not awake yet."
"It's raining outside and the sky is getting darker. It's getting late, Ling'er, please get up."
Gao Xiaorui picked up her daughter, put on her clothes, wiped her face clean, and then carried her daughter to the front yard.
On the way, Shu Ling kept trying to get down and walk, but Gao Xiaorui held her down: "Don't move, you're going to have to drink bitter medicine if you're caught in the rain."
The rainy weather was perfect for playing in the rain, which made Shu Ling feel happy.
Gao Xiaorui carried Shu Ling to Mrs. Yang and said, "Mom, please take good care of her, but you can't let her play in the water in the yard."
"Mother." Shu Lingnen screamed with a crisp voice.
Gao Xiaorui raised her hand: "Ling'er, if you dare to play with water in the yard, I will definitely beat you."
Shu Ling reached out and covered her butt. Normally Gao Xiaorui would indulge her, but she was really someone who knew how to spank a child.
Shu Ling flattened her mouth and said to Yang, "Zuzu, I miss you daddy."
"Pfft." Yang laughed suddenly: "Even if your father is here, he will support your mother. You should listen to your mother and stay with your grandmother."
Gao Xiaorui looked around and said with a smile: "Mom, has dad gone out?"
"Your father couldn't stand the rainy weather at home. The eldest brother of the Liu family next door happened to pass by the door and asked him to go to the river to check the water level, so he followed."
Gao Xiaorui went to prepare breakfast for Shu Ling. Shu Ling looked at Yang: "Grandma, let's go out to find grandpa."
Yang felt that despite her young age, Shu Ling was actually quite smart. In the blink of an eye, she had found a way to go out and play again.
Yangshi said to Shu Ling very seriously: "Ling'er, grandma's leg hurts and she can't go out."
Shu Ling lay directly on Yang's legs and blew hard on her legs, making her cheeks bulge.
Yang reached out and touched her granddaughter's hair. Little people always make people feel soft at this time, but looking at the raindrops that continued to fall, she smiled and said to her granddaughter: "My legs don't hurt anymore. Ling'er is really capable."
Shu Ling raised her head and said to Yang with some pride: "Father also said that I am very capable. If I just breathe, everything will be fine."
"Your father is right, my legs will feel much better now."
"Zu, when you feel pain for a while, you ask me to scream again."
Gao Xiaorui brought breakfast over and happened to hear what their grandparents were saying. She asked Yang with some worry: "Mom, do you have leg pain?"
"This old problem is gone. Once the weather clears up, it will be fine."
Gao Xiaorui greeted her daughter for breakfast. She turned to Yang and said, "The third child said a few days ago that there are some useful ointments in the city. He has already found someone to buy them."
"There is no need to spend that money. When the old man of the Zhu family was here, he said that we had such a problem. He heated the coarse salt and wrapped it in coarse salt. It took a lot more than ointment.
We don’t have much medicinal coarse salt at home. When your eldest brother went out in the morning, I told him that he would bring it back in the afternoon."
Shu Ling's face was already buried in her rice bowl. Gao Xiaorui quickly pulled her head up. She looked at Gao Xiaorui with an unhappy face: "Mom, I'm hungry."
"You eat with your mouth, not with your face. If you don't change, I'll give you a small bowl next time."
Shu Ling held the big bowl with both hands: "If you don't change it, I will eat well."
Gao Xiaorui wiped the dirt on her face with a handkerchief and said to Yang, "Mom, I'd better give her a different bowl."
"I won't change it. The kids eat more from a bigger bowl, and I'm happy to see it. You see how clean Ling'er eats, and the floor is clean."
"Mom, it's all on her face, so the ground is naturally clean."
Zhou Damei walked under the eaves, sat next to Yang, looked at the sky, and said, "I was lucky enough to buy some more vegetables yesterday. The price of vegetables will definitely rise in the past few days."
