Chapter 23 Hope

Author: Linglongxiu

Gao Xiaorui hugged Shu Ling and left the room. Mother and daughter went outside. The wind was blowing very fast, and Gao Xiaorui narrowed his eyes.

Shu Ling immediately buried her face in Gao Xiaorui's arms: "Mom, there is sand."

Gao Xiaorui ducked back nervously and looked down at her daughter: "Is there sand in your eyes?"

"No. The wind hurts my face."

Gao Xiaorui thought about her daughter's tender face, which could not withstand too much wind and rain, and comforted her: "You can hide."

Shu Ling surged in Gao Xiaorui's arms for a few times. Gao Xiaorui reached out and patted her butt before she calmed down.

Gao Xiaorui and her son went to the front yard, and Zhou Damei stood in the yard looking at the sky. Gao Xiaorui followed him curiously, lowered his head and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"

"At this time of year, the wind is so strong, I feel a little weird. Looking at the sky, I can't see any change."

"Sister-in-law, there are dark clouds in the sky, which are thicker than usual. It should rain after a while."

"It's raining. I'll go out quickly and buy some vegetables."

Zhou Damei went into the kitchen, carrying a bamboo basket, and hurried out of the courtyard door.

Gao Xiaorui put her daughter down: "Ling'er, go find your grandmother."

She hurriedly followed out of the courtyard: "Sister-in-law, I'll go shopping with you."

She turned around and waved her fist at Shu Ling who was following her: "Qiya, go back quickly."

Shu Ling retracted her head obediently. After waiting for a while, she looked out again and saw that Zhou Damei's sister-in-law had gone away.

Shu Ling stood at the door of the yard. The wind was very strong. She naughtily followed the wind and started playing with her little body.

Yang heard Gao Xiaorui's words in the room, but she never waited for Shu Ling, so she went out to take a look.

There was no one in the yard. She looked up and saw a small figure at the door of the yard, which was blown by the wind and could not stand. She quickly ran over, only to find that it was Shu Ling who was playing naughtily in the direction of the wind.

She was not angry and tapped Shu Ling with her hand: "You are so naughty, even naughtier than your brothers and sisters."

When Shu Ling saw Yang, her face was full of excitement and she said, "Grandma, it's so fun, you don't have to work hard anymore."

Yang looked at her with a headache: "Ling'er, the wind is light now, you can play like this. If the wind is strong, you little person will be blown down by the wind."

Shu Ling stretched out her hand to Yangshi, raised her head and asked Yangshi: "Grandma, is Ling'er's face dirty?"

Yang wiped her face with his hand and said, "It's dirty. Let's go. I'll go back and wash your face and put a layer of fragrant cream on you."

"Okay." Shu Ling shouted happily.

After Shu Santie woke up, he couldn't hear a sound in his yard, so he stretched out his hands.

It was dark outside, so he listened to the wind and chose to lie on the bed for a while.

Their department was very busy these days. He drove the first carriage in almost every day, stopped late and took the last carriage out of the city gate.

When I'm at home at night, I don't dare to really relax and reflect on what I did during the day.

Gao Xiaorui came in from the outside and saw Shu Santie lying on the bed, and reminded: "It's getting late and it's going to rain heavily outside.

My sister-in-law and I just went to the market to buy some vegetables and came back. What do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you later."

Shu Santie likes to listen to Gao Xiaorui talk about daily things at home. No matter what kind of things he faces outside, as long as he comes home and someone talks to him about things at home, he will feel that all the efforts are worth it.

"No, I'll lie down for a while. We'll have lunch together later. The sky is so dark, will the children come back at noon?"

"When we went to the market to buy food, we had already gone to the embroidery shop and the school to say hello. They don't have to come back for lunch."

"Okay, where is Ling'er right now?"

"She is with her father and mother in the front yard, and he is now teaching her how to read numbers."

"I never dared to imagine that my father would be such a patient person and would be willing to teach Ling'er these things."

Gao Xiaorui laughed: "Mom said, this is the fate of our grandson and grandson. With Ling'er accompanying dad, dad is willing to sit at home for a while longer."

The old man of the Shu family is a person who can't sit idle. After he stopped doing chores in the blacksmith shop, he never really spent time at home after he came back. He would always find something to do for himself.

He went hunting in the mountains with others, but naturally he didn't gain much, but he was happy.

After Shu Datie persuaded him several times, he allowed the old man of the Shu family to act as he pleased.

As a result, the old man of the Shu family had no interest in going up the mountain and turned to learn carpentry from others, so he had some strange-shaped benches at home.

The children really like the things made by the old man of the Shu family. Shu Ling especially likes the small bench that the old man of the Shu family made for her.

The old man of the Shu family soon lost interest in carpentry work. Now he likes to play chess, but his chess skills are really not good, but he is very addicted to chess.

This time, the Shu family was particularly supportive of the old man's hobby. Shu Santie even bought a chess book for him, but he abandoned it.

"Third brother, if you buy me a chess book for beginners, are you looking down on your father's decades of wisdom?"

Shu Santie quickly explained: "Dad, you are a very wise man, but you blame your son for not being smart.

I asked the boy at the bookstore to help me choose a book. I said it was for beginners. Who knew that my father is now so good at chess that he no longer needs this book.

Dad, I will study on my own and try to understand this chess book as soon as possible. In the future, I can deal with others just like playing chess, taking one step and understanding the other three."

After Shu Santie got back the chess record, he turned to Shu Datie and said, "Brother, dad still has some talent for chess."

"My old boss said that my father is actually a very smart person, but after he learned the basics, he had no interest in learning further."

"Brother, blacksmithing is different. Blacksmithing is a labor of strength. Neither dad nor we are naturally strong people. If he is really interested in doing it, I'm afraid he will no longer be able to do it when he reaches middle age."

Shu Datie understood what Shu Santie said. He had been working in the blacksmith shop for so many years, but he had never been able to be a master because he was not as strong as others.

Brother Shu Dati hopes that his son will no longer have to do such hard work in his generation, but in the past few years, life at home has been hard, and brothers Shu Xianfang and Shu Xian in Shu Dati's room are sensible. After studying in school for a few years, they will

I am determined to learn a trade.

Now Shu Xianzhong, the eldest son of Shu Ertie's family, is already learning skills from his uncle's family. Only Shu Xianli and Shu Xianzhi are still studying in the school.

Shu Santie has three sons in the same house. The eldest son, Shu Xianming, has gone to the city to study. The younger ones, Shu Xianxi and Shu Xianqi, are still studying in schools in the town.

The Shu Santie brothers hope that these five children can continue to study. Even if only one of them can succeed in studying in the future, they can see the hope that the Shu family can truly change their family status.
