Chapter 74 Soft-tempered Shen Xiu

Shen Xiu has been soft-tempered since she was a child and has no independent opinions.

When she was a girl at home, she listened to her parents. When she got married, everything was decided by her husband and parents-in-law. Even the divorce was almost forced by Shen Qiuqiu, Grandpa Shen, and Grandma Shen before she agreed.

She was used to relying on others to live her life, but now she was suddenly asked to stand up on her own and live on her own. It was as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Seeing her hesitant look, Shen Qiuqiu didn't urge her. She just smiled and said, "Little aunt, you don't have to give me an answer in a hurry. Think about it carefully when you go back."

Shen Xiu nodded nervously. She actually already had the answer in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it.

After Shen Xiu left, Shen Qiuqiu continued to go back to bed to catch up on his nap.

Song Na also lay down together, but after what happened just now, her sleepiness had already run away, and she could no longer sleep.

The little girl turned over and asked Shen Qiuqiu in a low voice, "Sister, what if my mother doesn't choose any of the three?"

The wise mother is like a girl, she knows exactly what her own mother is like.

Shen Qiuqiu closed her eyes and said, "That doesn't matter, just think of other ways."

Song Na sighed, "Hey, it would be great if I were a little older, so that I could take my mother out to work together. Together, we can earn a lot of money in a month."

Shen Qiuqiu opened his eyes and looked at her. Seeing the serious look on the little girl's face, she couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you thinking about? You are still young. Your first priority now is to study hard. Making money is an adult's business. You don't need to worry about it."

Song Na frowned and thought for a while, then said cautiously: "Sister, do you need a lot of money to go to high school and college...

How about I stop going to school? I want to make money as soon as possible so that my mother and I don’t have to worry about you."

Shen Qiuqiu raised his hand and patted the back of her hand, "Don't say that you can't go to school anymore. There are so many adults in the family, and it's not your turn to worry about making money.

I will be responsible for your tuition fees, and I will support you wherever you go.

Just be responsible for studying well and don't worry about money."

He is willing to help her pay for her tuition. In addition to the family affection that is thicker than water, part of the reason is his heartache and pity for this precocious little girl.

This little person has long been accustomed to living by looking at people's looks. He is smart, well-behaved, considerate, and so sensible that it makes people feel sorry for him.

Shen Qiuqiu's words were plain but sonorous and powerful, causing ripples in Song Na's heart.

The little girl was so moved that her eyes were red, "Sister, when I grow up, I will be filial to you."

Shen Qiuqiu laughed out loud and kicked her under the quilt, "We are the same generation, I am only ten years older than you. There is no such thing as filial piety or not. Don't make it sound like I am very old." .”

Song Na also realized that she had said the wrong thing, covered her face with the quilt, and giggled.

After the two of them made such a fuss, Shen Qiuqiu's drowsiness was completely gone, and she was still a little hungry.

She simply got up and went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

When he walked to the kitchen door, he saw Shen Xiu sitting in front of the stove wiping tears.

Grandma Shen persuaded her earnestly, "Xiaohua said that for your own good. If you don't want to do it, just tell her directly and let's find another way.

We have hands and feet, so as long as we work harder, we will never starve to death anywhere."

Shen Xiu sniffed and choked: "I dare not say..."

Grandma Shen couldn't help but laugh, "What's there to say? Xiaohua is not a tiger, can he still eat you?"

Shen Xiu pursed her lips and whispered: "I don't know why, I'm just a little scared of her."

After Shen Qiuqiu heard something about her, she stood at the door and was in a dilemma. She could neither go in nor leave.

Song Na, who was a few steps behind her, had already walked closer and asked doubtfully: "Sister, what are you doing standing at the door?"

This sound made Shen Xiu, who was sitting on the grass pier, almost jump up in shock.

She pushed back her hair in embarrassment and put on a smile that was uglier than crying, "Little, little flower."

Shen Qiuqiu smiled and called, "Sister-in-law."

Then he turned to Grandma Shen and said, "Grandma, what are you having for breakfast today? I'm a little hungry."

Grandma Shen pointed to the clear noodle soup in the pot and said with a smile: "Your grandpa drank so much wine yesterday that he was injured. Give him something light today."

There is a dry noodle factory in the town. The egg noodles they produce are delicious and easy to make. Grandma Shen has to buy some every time she goes to town.

Shen Qiuqiu helped take out five big bowls from the cupboard, put half a spoonful of lard in each bowl, added salt and chopped green onions, and poured a little light soy sauce.

Finally, pour a large spoonful of noodle soup, stir in the lard, and the soup base of the clear noodle soup is ready.

At this time, the noodles in the pot were also cooked. Grandma Shen threw a large handful of pea tips into the pot, stirred them casually twice, and then took the long chopsticks to scoop the cooked noodles and pea tips into the bowl.

The soft noodles paired with green pea tips make it very appetizing.

After finishing all the noodles, Grandma Shen quickly washed the pot and fried a few poached eggs.

A simple bowl of clear noodle soup is very smooth and chewy. A bowl of it will warm your heart, body and stomach.

Grandpa Shen didn't like to eat anything too bland, so he added a large spoonful of chili oil to the bowl, held the bowl and slurped it up, and ate it all in less than five minutes, even the noodle soup.

The old man put down the bowl, couldn't help but burped, and sighed: "Oh, I finally feel comfortable."

Grandma Shen rolled her eyes at him and said, "It will make you feel better if you drink more wine."

After breakfast, Shen Xiu picked up the sickle and carried the basket on his back to go out to hunt pigweed.

Shen Qiuqiu quickly stopped her, "Sister-in-law, wait a moment."

This time, Shen Qiuqiu called Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen together.

In the main room, Shen Xiu was sitting on the sofa, looking at a loss.

Shen Qiuqiu recounted the conversation with Shen Xiu that morning to Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen.

Grandpa Shen fully agreed with the three suggestions she made earlier.

"Axiu, the paths Xiaohua mentioned are all very good; but even if you go to other provinces to work, your words are unreasonable, and we don't feel at ease if we go out alone.

It would be good to stay in the village and cultivate a few acres of land. You can also go to the town to do business. They are all serious businesses. We don't care how much money we can make, as long as we can make a living for ourselves.

What do you want to do, and do you have a plan?"

Shen Xiu lowered her head and rubbed the corner of her clothes, murmuring for a long time before she said: "I can't do it. I'm clumsy and can't do anything well... Farming and doing business require capital. What if I lose money?" …”
