Boss, He’s Becoming a Father - Chapter 165
When the father and daughter returned to Taoism, everyone in the family looked very worried.
“I heard the noise outside, it seems that the government is arresting people, have you encountered it?” Gu Shanshan asked with concern.
Shao Yu gave her a soothing look and said, “I did, but the officials are all good people and know that we are good people.”
Gu Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
The third child on the side glanced at Gu Shanshan and walked into the room without saying anything.
Gu Shanshan could see that the third child didn’t like her, but when she first came here, she didn’t know what to say or do, so she didn’t do anything, just swallowed the unpleasantness silently.
“You don’t need to worry about what the children think, just be yourself.” Shao Yu said warmly.
Gu Shanshan always felt at ease when she heard Shao Yu’s voice, and this time was no exception, she nodded and said, “Okay, I will listen to you.”
Shao Yu smiled at her and asked, “Did the children bother you just now?”
Gu Shanshan shook her head and said, “They are all good, they all listen to you and stay at home safely.”
Shao Yu said: “It’s good if you don’t get into trouble, wait two years, the family will be more comfortable, and then change to a big house, then you can also have your own room, you don’t have to live in such a crowded place. .”
Gu Shanshan didn’t feel how crowded the Shao family was. After all, her parents’ family used to be her sisters squeezed together on the same bed.
Shao Yu reassured her for a second before urging her to rest early.
Gu Shanshan entered the room. At this time, the four little girls were already crowded on the same bed. She was a little embarrassed.
The boss got up and slept on the other side, staggered like this, but there were some more space.
Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi shouted at her: “Sister Shanshan, come here, let’s sleep together.”
The initiative of the two warmed Gu Shanshan’s heart.
Five girls crammed into a bed one night, and they didn’t sleep very well.
Gu Shanshan felt shallow, and before the sky was clear, she heard movement outside.
Now that she has confirmed that she wants to be Shao Yu’s daughter-in-law, she consciously has to set her position. As a daughter-in-law, she must be diligent in her hands and feet, and try her best to take care of the whole family.
She crept up, carefully not to wake the girls on the bed, but when she was dressed, the boss still sat up from the bed.
“It’s still early, go to sleep.” Gu Shanshan whispered.
The boss shook her head. She didn’t want to explain, but after thinking about it, she said, “I want to get up and practice.”
Gu Shanshan watched the little girl put on a thin set of clothes, ran into the yard and started to pose.
She hurriedly followed and asked, “Will it be cold with so little clothes?”
The weather in deep autumn is gloomy and cold, and Gu Shanshan is worried that the boss will be frozen.
The boss shook his head and said, “Practice is like this, I’m not afraid of cold.”
Gu Shanshan still wants to persuade.
The boss understood that she was worried about herself, and said, “I’m used to it, it’s fine.”
Gu Shanshan finally felt relieved, and went into the kitchen step by step, planning to cook for the whole family.
But as soon as I entered the kitchen, I found that there was someone inside.
Shao Yu and two boys were cooking inside.
“Why don’t you sleep for a while?” Shao Yu asked softly.
Gu Shanshan said: “I want to cook for you, let me come.”
Shao Yu didn’t stop her from working, and said, “We are preparing to cook cakes. For breakfast, we plan to eat vegetable porridge. Go wash the vegetables.”
Gu Shanshan took the basin and scooped cold water out of the rice jar, and grabbed a handful of vegetables from the ground beside her.
Shao Yu poured a ladle of hot water into the basin and said, “The water is cold in the morning, don’t freeze your hands.”
Gu Shanshan’s hand just about to put it in the basin was a meal, she turned her head, and in the dim light of the kitchen, the man’s eyes and brows were tender.
“It’s alright, I’m used to it.” Gu Shanshan laughed when she finished speaking, it seems that the boss just said the same.
Shao Yu said: “This is not a habit or a habit. You have traces of frostbite on your hands, and the weather turns cold, so you should pay special attention to this kind of thing.”
Gu Shanshan felt a little warm when she heard this, but she quickly thought of the boss outside and said, “Big sister is practicing, won’t you get cold in such clothes?”
Shao Yu said: “The practitioners are different from ordinary people. She understands her body and knows how to make herself feel cold.”
Gu Shanshan couldn’t help but ask, “Why do you let the eldest sister practice…”
It is normal to have a son practice, but it is almost not something ordinary people would do.
Shao Yu said: “Because she wants to practice.”
Such a simple answer fell into Gu Shanshan’s ears, but it was like a thunderbolt, and she couldn’t help but ask: “Is it just because she thinks?”
Shao Yu understood what she meant, and said warmly, “In this family, as long as they don’t violate the law, everyone can do what they like.”
Gu Shanshan opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she still didn’t say it.
Shao Yu knew what she was thinking and said directly: “You are also part of this family, and you can do what you want.”
Want to do? Gu Shanshan didn’t know what she wanted to do for a while, but when she heard Shao Yu say this, she felt as if she had established some kind of connection with this family.
After washing the vegetables, she started to cook porridge in another pot, watching Shao Yu and the others making pastries, she didn’t dare to watch more.
After all, the reason why Shao Yu brought people to live in the county, Gu Shanshan has also heard that her uncle Gu San planned to rob Shao Yu’s pastry recipe, Gu Shanshan She also cared for her family and felt that she should avoid suspicion at this time.
Shao Yu did not have those scruples, but often took the initiative to ask her to come over to help with something, and even kept explaining the secrets of making cakes.
“I… I’d better go out, after all, this is your secret recipe.” Gu Shanshan said.
“It’s just a pastry recipe, you can help better if you learn it.” Shao Yu said.
Xu Ming, who was beside him, also followed: “Aunt Gu, you learn more, so that in the future, Dad won’t have to be busy in the kitchen all the time.”
Xu Ming not only looks forward to Gu Shanshan learning more, he also looks forward to learning more, but those people don’t seem to be interested in these things in the kitchen.
The two insisted on this, but Gu Shanshan could not continue to refuse, so she listened carefully.
Although Gu Shanshan is not as enthusiastic about cooking as Xu Ming, but when she is at home, she is the main force of cooking at home, and she is very familiar with the kitchen.
So she learns faster than other children.
Gu Shanshan looked at the family, both boys and girls, all working very consciously, and couldn’t help but think of the Gu family.
Those who are good at cheating and cheating are always able to ignore their own affairs.
Gu Shanshan doesn’t know how Shao Yu educates, each of these children is doing their own thing seriously, there may be some who are slower, but absolutely no one is deliberately lazy Waiting for someone else to help.
Breakfast is green vegetable porridge with a plate of cakes, and no one speaks during the meal, it looks very quiet.
Because of the fact that the third child ran away from home yesterday, the whole person looks a little embarrassed today, and his eyes seem to be reluctant to look at other people.
Other people may be focusing on making pastries, but no one has said anything nasty to her.
The pastries in the shop are made every morning, and the quantity is strictly calculated, so as to prevent too much stock in the shop.
Although the shop has just opened, the business is still good. In addition to the novelty of the cakes, the main selling point of the shop is freshness: it is always the cakes of the day that we strive to sell.
With the help of Gu Shanshan, the pastries in the morning were made faster than the day before.
After the cakes were all delivered to the shelves, the third one went into the shop to look at the shop, and the others were idle for a while. At this time, there was still half an hour before lunch, so they began to do their own things .
Shao Yu seized this opportunity and told everyone about Gu Shanshan.
“Although there is one more person in the family, the rules remain the same.” Shao Yu said.
The boss raised his hand and asked, “She wants to work like us to get paid?”
Shao Yu nodded.
Gu Shanshan heard the word “spending money” and immediately said: “I will not participate in the matter of money sharing.”
Shao Yu said: “If you work hard, you must get paid.”
Gu Shanshan was stunned for a moment, but said to him in a low voice, “But you paid so much money for me.”
Shao Yu said: “There is no need to hire a wife to marry a daughter-in-law. These are what I should give, you don’t need to take it to heart.”
Although Shao Yu said this, it was hard for Gu Shanshan not to be burdened.
Shao Yu added: “If you don’t want to be my daughter-in-law, you can return it to me when you have enough money.”
Gu Shanshan hurriedly waved her hand and said, “No, that’s not what I meant.”
Just as soon as she said these words, her ears immediately turned red, as if admitting how eager she was to marry Shao Yu, and she was so ashamed that she couldn’t speak anymore.
Shao Yu did not continue to struggle with this issue, but said: “Whether you want to stay or leave, if you have money, you will have more confidence in doing anything.”
Gu Shanshan heard this and asked, “Do you want me to stay or leave?”
After asking this sentence, she suddenly felt that she was too abnormal now, this is definitely not what she dared to ask.
“Forget it, just pretend I didn’t ask.” Gu Shanshan said.
“I hope you stay.” Shao Yu gave her a very positive answer.
When Gu Shanshan heard this, the corner of her mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
“Sister Shanshan, your face is so red.” Xiao Qi suddenly said in surprise.
Other children followed.
Gu Shanshan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Shao Yu said: “The sun is very strong today, her face is red, you don’t have to be outside all the time.”
Gu Shanshan glanced at Shao Yu gratefully.
Shao Yu glanced at the braids on Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi’s heads again, and said, “Thank you for helping them tie the braids.”
Gu Shanshan immediately waved her hand and said, “This is what I should do.”
Shao Yu shook her head and said, “The things that should be done in this family are only the tasks assigned to everyone, and there is nothing else that should be done.”
Gu Shanshan was stunned when she heard the words, and whispered, “I… am I not their stepmother?”
Her voice was as low as a mosquito, but Shao Yu could still hear it clearly.
Shao Yu said: “I have never married a wife. These children are the children of my former righteous brothers. If you marry me, you will not be their stepmother, but their adoptive mother.”
In the past, when Shao Yu was in the village, a big man brought you many children, which really attracted the attention of others, but the whole village fled here, and everyone was busy with their own affairs. Therefore, although curious, no one has really asked about the situation of the Shao family.
At this time, after hearing Shao Yu take the initiative to talk about it, knowing that these children are not Shao Yu’s own children, and that Shao Yu has never married, inexplicably, Gu Shanshan feels a little happy in her heart.
Shao Yu continued: “Taking care of them is something I promised my brother and sister-in-law. You don’t need to take this on yourself.”
Gu Shanshan frowned slightly when she heard this. In her understanding, if she married Shao Yu, then Shao Yu’s affairs should be her own affairs, not hers. So outside.
Shao Yu said: “Whoever promises to be responsible is responsible. If I do everything by myself, but push everything to you, then I will be irresponsible.”
Gu Shanshan still felt very puzzled after hearing this. This way of getting along has almost subverted all her cognitions, and there is even a feeling that Shao Yu does not She is his own wife.
Shao Yu said: “If your husband owes a gambling debt of several hundred taels outside, but runs back and waits for his wife to pay it back, how would you feel?”
Gu Shanshan said: “This is too much.”
Shao Yu nodded and said, “This is the same situation now. If I adopted ten children without my wife’s consent, should all these children be taken care of by my wife? Can you stand by and watch?”
Based on this analogy, although Gu Shanshan understood, she still said: “You can take care of children, just like filial piety to parents, it should be done by the mistress of the family.”
Shao Yu laughed and said, “Shanshan, you are saying ‘should’ again, it is not your responsibility, you can really ignore it, even these children, you should not take They treat them like children, they treat them like friends living in the same family.”
Although Shao Yu was shouldering her shoulders, Gu Shanshan still felt confused and said, “But marrying a daughter-in-law means being filial to your parents-in-law and taking care of your children at home?”
“But I don’t think so.” Shao Yu said with a smile.
Gu Shanshan looked at him, vaguely aware that what she heard next might subvert all her cognition.
Shao Yu said: “As a child, you should really be filial to your parents, but it is the children, not the daughter-in-law or the son-in-law, and over the years, I have only heard praise of the daughter-in-law for being filial to the in-laws, but it is very Don’t you think it’s unfair to praise your son-in-law for being filial to your father-in-law and mother-in-law?”
If Shao Yu didn’t say it, how could Gu Shanshan notice this, although it sounds really unfair, but she said: “When a daughter gets married, she becomes a foreigner. Different.”
“There is nothing different, they are all my own flesh and blood.” Shao Yu said.
Gu Shanshan said: “But daughters and sons do have different status at home.”
Hearing Gu Shanshan say this, Shao Yu was a little happy. After all, she was able to say such a thing, which showed that she was not so obedient about the unequal status of her children in the family.
Shao Yu said: “I don’t care about the people next to me, but in my family, my children are the same. This is the rules of my family.”
Gu Shanshan said, “So, should I obey your rules?”
The original rules were indeed customized by Shao Yu, but they were agreed by everyone.
After all, this was an idea that had been ingrained in her mind for more than ten years, and Shao Yu did not force her to change her mind immediately.
“The rules at home are to work in the morning and learn to read in the afternoon. No one can escape this.” Shao Yu said.
“Learning…” Gu Shanshan remembered that she had entrusted Xiao Qi before and asked Shao Yu to allow herself to learn to read words, but now it is really going to happen.
She didn’t know why she was so obsessed with literacy, as if she subconsciously felt that she should be literate.
Shao Yu asked Xu Ming to bring others to prepare lunch, while he went out to find a carpenter to make a bed, and he also made a sand table for Gu Shanshan to practice calligraphy.
Shao Yu didn’t have any special requirements for this bed. The carpenter happened to have it ready-made. Just move it back. After the bed was moved into the daughters’ bedroom, the whole bedroom immediately became cramped.
But no one expressed dissatisfaction. After all, this bed is not for Gu Shanshan to sleep alone. With an extra bed, they can sleep more loosely.
“I want to sleep with Sister Shanshan!” Xiao Qi shouted.
Xiao Wu’s reaction was a beat slower, but soon followed: “I want too.”
Shao Yu didn’t bother to correct their names, and turned to look at the other two older daughters.
The expression on the eldest’s face did not fluctuate at all, but the expression of the third child seemed a little strange, and it was unclear whether that look was envy or relief.
Wait until the afternoon, after a short lunch break, the home literacy class began.
Gu Shanshan glanced at the sand table in front of her several times, and she wrote the words “Gu Shanshan” on it with a branch.
It was just these three words, but she wrote it without arms and legs, looking very awkward.
A few strokes.”
This is the first time that Gu Shanshan has heard the fourth one speak. She heard the other side remind her of her mistake, and immediately asked humbly, “Then how should I write it?”
The third child wanted to sneer, but Shao Yu’s eyes had fallen, so she could only shut up angrily.
The fourth child wrote Gu Shanshan’s name on his sand table.
After reading it, Gu Shanshan carefully compared it. She didn’t know if she didn’t remember it when she first learned it, or if she was wrong when she taught Xiaoqi, but she But he didn’t say anything, but seriously followed the fourth child to study.
Gu Shanshan didn’t mention it, but Xiao Qi took the initiative to run out to take the blame and said, “Brother, you wrote it wrong, what Sister Shanshan wrote is right, and it’s exactly the same as what Dad taught me to write. .”
When the fourth heard this, he couldn’t help but raise a little doubt to himself.
The three looked at Shao Yu together.
Shao Yu said: “What your brother wrote is right.”
“Dad, did you teach me wrong?” Xiao Qi asked, tilting her head.
Shao Yu didn’t expect the pot to come to him.
Just before he could explain, the fourth child knocked the branch on his sister’s head and said, “You idiot, you will always be short of arms and legs when learning to calligraphy, and now you have to blame Dad, you too Don’t look at your previous disciple rules, there are so many incomplete words written.”
Xiao Qi couldn’t help covering her head, turned to look at Gu Shanshan apologetically, and said, “Maybe I remembered it wrong.”
Gu Shanshan rubbed the top of her head gently, and said, “It’s fine, I’ll fix it now.”
The figures of the two seemed to be slowly overlapping, Xiao Qi couldn’t help but leaned beside Gu Shanshan, leaning on her with attachment, at this moment, Xiao Qi felt It was as if he was relying on his mother.
Shao Yu’s teaching voice interrupted Xiao Qi’s reverie.
“Hurry up and learn, don’t go back and let me start a small stove for you, idiot.”
Xiao Qi reluctantly ran back to his position.
With a rare opportunity to read, Gu Shanshan is very serious, even though her foundation is far behind others, she still insists on learning.
Learning words lasted for about half an hour and then ended.
The fourth child did not practice on the sand table repeatedly to prevent forgetting like others, but did not know where to conjure a book.
The third one came over and asked, “Is this the book Dad bought for you?”
The fourth child seemed to know what she was thinking and said, “Father is not so partial.”
The third said: “Then why don’t you buy it for others?”
The fourth said: “This is Dad’s book. I borrowed it from him. If you want to borrow it, go to him.”
The third child doesn’t like reading at all. She just doesn’t want to see her adoptive father invest more money in other children. After hearing this explanation, she felt a little relieved.
The fourth picked up the book and rolled his eyes while the third was not paying attention.
The boss didn’t know when he ran over, looking at the third child with disapproval in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, “The third child, you can’t make fun like last night in the future.”
The eldest eldest sister looks a bit like the eldest sister at home.
