Chapter 14 Filial piety
Author: Linglongxiu
Zhou Damei reached out and patted her shoulder: "You are doing well as you are now."
The woman looked at Zhou Damei with a wry smile: "It's not that good. My man told me that taking advantage is taking advantage, saying that I am too stingy.
My brothers and sisters are young, and as elder brothers and sisters-in-law, we need to be more considerate of their difficulties.
Bah, in a few years we are going to be grandparents, and they are still young? Am I always very old?
I have also been young. When I was young, I had to understand that they were young and ignorant. Now that I am older and my health is not as good as before, I still have to understand that they are young. So who will understand my difficulties?
I can't care about so much now. I want to live well, and my children's life will be easier.
My parents-in-law are not just those who share the same house with us. If my husband wants to take care of this and that, he can do it on his own, and don’t drag me into making stupid mistakes with him.
My eldest sister-in-law also said that since I have given birth to children for his family and I have fulfilled my filial piety for so many years, his family has no reason to divorce me."
Almost all the people under the old banyan tree were silent. Most of the people who came out to sit at this time were the eldest sons and daughters-in-law of the family, who understood each other's difficulties best.
They were silent, but the children became lively. They hugged each other and laughed for some reason.
When Zhou Damei heard their laughter, a smile appeared on her face: "They can be so happy with little things."
When the ancestors and grandsons of the Zhu family came, everyone under the old banyan tree showed a bit of surprise. Everyone looked at Zhu Yun's expression carefully.
The old lady of the Zhu family sat in the seat vacated by everyone, indicating that her great-granddaughter did not need to be with her.
Zhu Yun happily joined the children. Zhou Damei greeted the old lady of the Zhu family with a smile: "Aunt Zhu, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Well, it's not that I don't go out, it's just that the juniors in the family are too nervous, and they one by one stopped Girl Yun and I from going out.
We were able to go out today, but we argued with them for a while. We went out to sit for a while and then went back."
Everyone praised the children and grandchildren of the Zhu family for their filial piety, and praised the old lady of the Zhu family for being very lucky.
The old lady of the Zhu family laughed quite proudly: "I also feel that I am blessed. My girl Yun is now well and can read and write well. She just needs more practice in writing."
The women exchanged glances. No one thought that the girls needed to read and write, but the old lady of the Zhu family said this, and everyone was very happy: "You, the old lady, can teach children."
Zhu Yun squatted beside Shu Ling, smiled and touched her head, which earned Shu Ling's disgusted avoidance.
"Sister Zhu, I don't like it."
"Xiao Shu Ling, you are so smart, you still know that I am Sister Zhu."
"My aunt called me Grandma Zhu, so naturally you are Sister Zhu."
Zhu Yun said to the children funny: "Why don't you call me?"
The children looked at each other and shouted one by one: "Sister Zhu, hello sister Zhu, sister Zhu, are you that sister Zhu?"
Shu Ling followed curiously and asked: "Sister Zhu, you know my name, what is yours?"
The memory of a child is indeed very short. Zhu Yun carefully looked at Shu Ling's expression. She was very disappointed in her heart. This child should not have any legendary experiences.
"Shu Ling, my name is Zhu Yun."
"Everyone, remember, you will call me Sister Yun from now on."
The women sitting aside heard Zhu Yun's voice. They smiled and said to the old lady of the Zhu family: "Girl Yun is very close to the younger children."
The old lady of the Zhu family had the most experience in this aspect. She smiled and said: "After she can read, she will teach her sisters and younger brothers how to read together at home."
Shu Ling and her friends shouted together: "Sister Yun."
Then a group of people were looking for fallen leaves under the tree. Zhu Yun followed them to look for leaves and played a leaf fighting game with them. Although she thought it was a very boring game, thinking of her ambition, she seriously accompanied the children.
Play together.
The old lady of the Zhu family saw that Zhu Yun was treating a group of children so carefully. She looked at the sweat on her great-granddaughter's face with some distress, and stopped enjoying listening to people gossiping.
"Yun'er, it's getting late, let's go home."
Zhu Yun looked up at the sky. She couldn't tell that it was late, but she believed what the old lady of the Zhu family said.
Zhu Yun followed the old lady of the Zhu family on the way home. The old lady of the Zhu family pointed with her finger, looked around, and said: "You are a solid-eyed child, you are so good to them today.
If they don't see you for a few days, they will forget you again. Children have no memory."
"Grandma, let's go out for a walk tomorrow."
"If you don't come, there won't be many old ladies going out at this time."
"Grandma, can I go out with you for a walk in the morning?"
"No, there are not many people of my generation who are willing to go out and hang out.
They are old, all of them are really old, and they are too old to move."
The old lady of the Zhu family thought for a while, looked at Zhu Yun and said, "You have been fine these days. In a few days, I will take you to the Shu family and the Liu family to sit down."
Zhu Yun nodded with a serious look on his face: "Grandma, I listen to you."
She was actually a little scared in her heart. She heard that she would get sick two or three times every summer.
She has never been sick, and she doesn't know if her body can withstand an illness.
She really didn't want to die again at such a young age.
If she dies again this time, she probably won't be lucky enough to live again.
Zhu Yun cherishes his current body and no longer recalls the events of his previous life.
When the Zhu family's grandparents and grandchildren entered the house, they were naturally cared for by the family.
The people under the old banyan tree gradually dispersed at this time. The children followed the adults as they walked home. At the fork in the road, everyone waved goodbye reluctantly.
Shu Ling turned around reluctantly, and Zhou Damei held her little hand: "Tomorrow, I will take you out for a walk."
Shu Ling immediately became happy and nodded repeatedly: "Auntie, I'm good."
In the yard of the Shu family, Mr. Shu had come back from outside. He was sitting under the eaves. He saw Shu Ling entering the yard and shouted to his granddaughter: "Ling'er, bring a glass of water to Grandpa."
"Okay." Shu Ling answered readily, then looked up at Zhou Damei.
"Dad, there is warm water in the kitchen. Let me pour you a cup of warm water." Zhou Damei smiled and said to the old man of the Shu family. When he was old, he liked to drink cold water from the well.
The old man of the Shu family frowned, but he heard his granddaughter say happily: "Auntie, hurry up, you pour water for grandpa, and I will bring it to him."
The old man of the Shu family relaxed his brows, and his little granddaughter learned to be filial to him.
