Chapter 2 Etiquette

It was very lively under the old banyan tree, and everyone gathered around the Zhu family's grandparents and grandchildren to talk.

After the old man and his wife of the Shu family finished their business, they looked at the lively crowd, then they packed up the offerings and headed home.

Ten years ago, the mayor of Shuangjing Town followed the government's announcement and asked people in the town to plant trees on both sides of the road. Now the trees have been connected to form a shade for pedestrians to walk in the spring light.

When the wind blows, the leaves rustle softly, and the drooping branches seem to sway and greet the passers-by.

Yang felt a little unhappy, so he reached out and broke a branch, then waved it two or three times.

When the fork in the road arrived, the old man of the Shu family who was walking in front stopped and said to the Yang family behind him: "I'm going to tell the clan leader Ling'er's name. Today is a good day. I just want to ask the clan leader to officially create a family tree for Ling'er."

.”

The Yang family handed over the offerings to the old man of the Shu family. If he wanted to ask the patriarch to handle big things, he couldn't come empty-handed.

The old man of the Shu family walked to another road, and Mrs. Yang continued to walk home. On the way, she met the neighbor women and casually said Shu Qiya's name.

Everyone praised Shu Qiya casually, saying that Shu Qiya's name sounded nice, and his future life would be peaceful.

They just waited until Yang was far away and asked each other for news. Then, whether intentionally or unintentionally, they walked towards the old banyan tree at the entrance of the town.

When Yang returned home, she told her eldest daughter-in-law and younger daughter-in-law Shu Qiya's name. Then she looked around and asked, "Where is Qiya? Where is she this time?"

"Mom, she just wanted to go out to play. I'll coax her to play in the room."

Gao Xiaorui and Yang Shi explained Shu Qiya's whereabouts. After hearing this, Yang Shi said, "I'm going to see her."

After Yang left, Zhou Damei hesitated and said, "Little brother and sister, I remember that this was not the name my mother had chosen for Qiya before?"

Gao Xiaorui nodded, and Zhou Damei thought for a moment: "Little brothers and sisters, I'll go under the old banyan tree."

After Zhou Damei left, Gao Xiaorui gently closed the courtyard door and walked into the room.

"Zuzu, hehe, Sanhua and Xiaohua are good friends."

Shu Qiya's voice came out, and a smile appeared on Gao Xiaorui's face. She liked the name Shu Ling.

Of course, the name Shu Xin is not bad, but how can one live a comfortable life?

But as long as people are smarter, no matter what happens in the future, they can turn disaster into good luck.

Zhou Damei came back from under the old banyan tree with a very unhappy look on her face.

In the room, Gao Xiaorui sat aside and watched the interaction between Yang's ancestors and grandson. Yang's eyes were full of smiles.

She looked up and saw Zhou Damei at the door of the room. After seeing her waving, she got up and left the door.

Zhou Damei dragged Gao Xiaorui to the backyard, heard the news under the old banyan tree, and told Gao Xiaorui very carefully.

She sighed quite a bit: "The people of the Zhu family are very good at doing good deeds. If they are really serious and come to the house in the morning to say something, our family will also remember the kindness of the Zhu family."

Gao Xiaorui suddenly understood why the Yang family didn't talk about the excitement under the old banyan tree when she came back. It turned out that the excitement was the excitement of the Zhu family's ancestors and grandchildren.

She smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I like the name Shu Ling. Qiya will be a smart and good child in the future."

Zhou Damei had always felt that Shu Santie and his wife were both big-hearted people, and now that he listened to her words, he didn't have any unexpected reactions.

Zhou Damei looked around and said with some emotion: "After Uncle Zhu's death, Aunt Zhu's behavior in the past few years has always made people confused.

After Yun Yatou fell ill, she now has a reputation as a semi-psychic. For a half-grown girl to have such a reputation, think about it, is it not a good thing? "

Gao Xiaorui understood the meaning of Zhou Damei's words. Generally, a well-educated family would not dare to marry a woman with such a reputation.

Gao Xiaorui still thought about the kindness of the old lady of the Zhu family in reporting the news, and she said to Zhou Damei: "No matter what, we husband and wife still have to think about Yun Yatou.

When the triathlon comes back, we will send a gift to Zhu’s house in the evening to express our gratitude.”

"You husband and wife, you can always remember the kindness of others for a long time, even if it is just a casual kindness, you can also remember this kindness.

Over the years, you have always gone to the Zhu family to send gifts during festivals, and you are not much different from serious relatives."

"Sister-in-law, there is still a difference. Serious relatives will often come and go. We usually don't go to Zhu's house, and now the younger generations also have their own friendships."

Zhou Damei suddenly laughed. The old man and his wife of the Shu family and the old man and his wife of the Zhu family are the same generation. If they go by this, Zhu Dashan is more than ten years older than Shu Dati, so they should be the same generation.

However, the Zhu Dashan brothers never regarded the Shu Dati brothers as their equals, and the Shu Dati brothers did not want to take advantage of the Zhu Dashan brothers, so they each acquiesced to the different names of their juniors.

"It has been ten years since the uncle of the Zhu family heard the news in the city. He told many people the good news, but only the third brother was able to live up to his expectations and was admitted to the Ministry of Industry on his own merit.

If your eldest brother and your second oldest brother both took the exam, they would not have passed the first test."

Ten years ago, when the Daxing Dynasty was established, various government offices were in need of people. When Mr. Zhu heard the news in the city, he and many people in Shuangjing Town said: "For us ordinary people, this is a great change."

A great opportunity for family status.”

The families in Shuangjing Town are all ordinary families, and everyone cherishes this opportunity.

Many young people from Shuangjing Town went to the city to take the government examination. Only Shu Santie, who could read and write and had some skills in blacksmithing, successfully passed the exam to work as an errand in the Ministry of Industry.

The young people of the Zhu family also went to the city to take the exam, but their luck was not very good. Those who traveled the farthest also failed at the last level of the exam.

After Shu Santie went to the city as an errand, he learned about the lofty goals of the young people of the Zhu family. They wanted to compete for official positions with scholars from wealthy families in the city. Zhu Laoer lost at the last hurdle, but it was not really a loss.

In the evening, Shu Santie jumped out of the carriage and made an appointment with the coachman for the next day's trip.

Along the way, many people greeted him: "Shu Laosan, your Ling'er turns three years old today. You can also eat some good dishes."

Shu Santie was stunned, suspecting that someone had said the wrong name, but he took a few steps forward, and everyone he met congratulated him so much.

He talked to the people he met with a smile on his face, and said with a smile that when he left the city gate today, there was a lot of traffic and people.

After Shu Santie returned home, he took the opportunity to ask the old man of the Shu family about his situation. After hearing what the old man of the Shu family said, he smiled and said: "Dad, everyone has written down Ling'er's name. I think this name is better.

It’s a good name for longevity.”

The old man of the Shu family nodded with a smile and said: "The patriarch also said that this name is better. He said that scholars always think about perfection. In fact, ordinary people's names do not need to seek perfection in everything."

Yang's original unhappiness completely dissipated after hearing what the old man of the Shu family told the clan leader.

She now goes to the kitchen to prepare things for Shu Santie and his wife to send as gifts to the Zhu family.
