Chapter 4 Arrangement
Under the night, Shu Santie walked in front holding a torch. Gao Xiaorui was originally following him, but the wind blew the leaves swaying, and then under the light of the torch, many black shadows fell on the ground.
Gao Xiaorui could only chase after two steps and walked to Shu Santie's side.
Shu Santie glanced at her sideways and said, "It's so dark. As a couple, we don't need to tell you too many rules when we walk."
"The atmosphere in our town is conservative, and the elderly like younger people who abide by the rules. If someone comes out at this moment and sees us walking together, it will not be good for my reputation."
Shu Santie thought about some nosy old people in the town. They would really do things that were harmful to others and not self-interested.
It had rained a few days ago, and the potholes on the road had not yet been smoothed out. At this moment, the couple still did not dare to walk too fast.
Shu Santie knew that Gao Xiaorui didn't dare to walk at night, so he could only tell her some interesting things about the city, which made her not pay attention to the wind, the movement of the trees, and the shadows on the ground.
"Can young couples in the city really hold hands and go shopping outside?"
Gao Xiaorui was very shocked and asked Shu Santie, "The young couple in Shuangjing Town have a very harmonious relationship, but they can't walk together in parallel outside."
"I have never seen young couples walking hand in hand. All I have seen are couples covering their faces with their sleeves and walking hand in hand.
In the city, couples walk backwards and forwards, but when there are many people, they can walk parallel to each other and no one will criticize them."
"Oh. It turns out we're not really holding hands while shopping. Oh, I can't think about it anymore. I'm blushing."
Gao Xiaorui fanned her face a few times with her hands, still feeling a bit envious in her heart, but she still couldn't behave as close to Shu Santie in front of others.
Shu Santie held up the torch and saw the red color on Gao Xiaorui's face, and suddenly laughed: "None of the people holding hands in the city will blush. Those of you who listen to gossip, who are you blushing for?"
Gao Xiaorui stamped her foot a few times: "My sister-in-law and I have heard of this kind of thing before. My sister-in-law and I both said that people in the city are really not shy.
I will explain to my sister-in-law tomorrow that people in the city are still shy and they cover themselves with their sleeves."
Shu Santie did not comment, but just discussed with her: "Next time, when I am on vacation, I will take you to the city."
Gao Xiaorui was a little moved after hearing Shu Santie's words, but then sighed: "I still won't go. The things in the city are good, but they are expensive. We went to see them but couldn't afford them. The children are young and can easily change their temperaments.
.”
"It will be good for them to see more things when they are young. If I had not had the opportunity to make friends with Brother Zhang and learn some words from him, I would not have taken the exam to enter the Ministry of Industry."
Shu Santie felt that when there was a chance, the children should go out and take a look. Then they would know that there are other good places in the world besides Shuangjing Town.
Shu Santie and his wife returned to the yard and closed the yard door after knowing that everyone in the family was there.
Shu Santie asked Gao Xiaorui to go back to his room to take care of the children while he went to have a chat with his parents.
The old man of the Shu family and his wife heard that the old lady of the Zhu family accepted the gift of thanks very happily. After hearing this, Mrs. Yang shook her head and said: "She has always said outside in the past few years that you owe her family a favor.
This time, let’s send a thank-you gift to end the matter this time. After she accepts the gift, she won’t say any more gossip outside.”
Shu Santie talked about Zhu Dashan's attitude and sat with the old man and his wife of the Shu family for a while before he left.
As the candlelight flickered, the old man of the Shu family sighed: "The boss of the Zhu family is not as smart and capable as his father, he is too kind.
The second brother's family and Zhu Ershan's family are cousins, so our two families can't stop moving around."
"The second child's family is busy working in the grocery store every day, and she doesn't have so much time to interact with her cousin. The Zhu Ershan family is shrewd, and the second child's family is not stupid. When the two of them meet, there will be wins and losses."
Shu Santie returned to the room, and Shu Ling was already fast asleep on the bed.
Gao Xiaorui saw Shu Santie coming in and waved to him: "Ling'er just said that she would wait for you to come back. I coaxed her into saying that as long as she closes her eyes for a while, you will come back.
You see, in the blink of an eye, she fell asleep."
Shu Santie leaned over and looked at his youngest daughter's red sleeping face, gently scratched her little face with his fingers, and whispered to Gao Xiaorui: "She is so beautiful and smart. In fact, I have always
Worried that she is too smart.
When Zhu Jiayun girl caused such an incident, I feel less worried in my heart. People still can't live too smoothly."
Gao Xiaorui listened to his words and said angrily: "Have you really missed the favor of girl Zhu Jiayun?"
"Read it. I heard people say that there is a kind of people who are lucky, and there are always people rushing to protect them from disasters. Ling'er's previous name was still too good. I think the current name is the most suitable name."
"Bah. What kind of disaster can happen to a family like ours? Ling'er is a little girl and will never walk outside in the future.
When she is fifteen or sixteen years old, we will find a stable marriage for her, and she will live a smooth life for the rest of her life."
"It's only in these ten years that we have lived a stable life. You can be cruel to Can'er and Jing'er and let them learn more skills. You must be equally cruel to Ling'er."
"Dad Ling'er, Can'er is not young anymore, and she is good at needlework now. A few days ago, the shopkeeper of the embroidery shop even asked her to teach people how to do embroidery.
You have to pay more attention to her marriage. I don’t ask her to live a rich life, at least the husband’s family will not use Can’er’s good craftsmanship to support the family.”
Mr. and Mrs. Shu Santie have three sons and three daughters. Shu Can is the eldest daughter and the most sensible child in their family.
The couple loved the younger Shu Ling, but they also cherished their sensible eldest daughter.
They talked about their daughter and mentioned their son Shu Xianming going to the city to study.
Gao Xiaorui was very worried and said: "None of the nephews have ever gone to the city to study. Only our Ming'er is going to the city to study. I'm a little worried about what my elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law have in mind."
"Don't worry. My eldest and second brothers and I have discussed sending the children to study in the city.
The eldest brother said that Xianxiang was not a scholar and that at his age he needed to learn crafts from his master.
The second brother said that Xianzhong doesn't want to study, he wants to work out, and after spring, he will learn to do accounting from his uncle."
Gao Xiaorui sighed after listening to his words: "Sister-in-law will be disappointed. My eldest nephew came out to learn the carpentry trade as a apprentice a few years ago, but he has not yet graduated.
The second nephew doesn’t dare to study now, what trade does he want to learn?”
"In the past two days, dad will go talk to the old owner of the blacksmith shop and arrange for Xian Xiang to work in the blacksmith shop. He still has some strength in his hands."
