Mr. Shen was not in a good mood when he returned home. He was scolded by his wife and could not even lift his head.

"Shen Zhenhua, I see that you are just like a child now, and you don't look like a commander at all.

If you let your soldiers see you like this, you will never be able to manage them well. "

Shen Zhenhua said aggrievedly, "It was that old man who first belittled the cotton shoes made by my good granddaughter. He called me a good granddaughter, so naturally he couldn't let her go."

Grandma Shen choked.

However, she also thinks that others should not say that she is a good granddaughter.

"Then you can scold him, but you can't hit him!

If the Public Security Bureau chief was not a young, inexperienced person who dared not offend you two old stubborn people, otherwise you two would have been waiting to be reformed in prison and eat hard labor meals during the New Year! "

Mr. Shen nodded perfunctorily, "I know, I know, don't be angry, I will be more careful next time."

At worst, you can just hide when a fight breaks out so as not to alert the police.

Grandma Shen gave Old Man Shen a displeased look.

There is still nothing I can do about this old rascal.

In fact, they are no longer surprised by such things.

After all, the conflict between the two families has accumulated for decades and cannot be resolved in a short time.

Never mind. Let them be.

Just don't get anyone killed.

I thought that after this incident, Mr. Shen would be quiet for a while.

But the old guy had just finished lunch and ran out again.

The Shen family didn't know what he was doing, so they didn't ask too much.

But Shen Zhenhua’s goal is very clear.

He also wanted to go to Mr. Wang to get a pair of Spring Festival couplets. He couldn't let the old guy next door succeed.

In the afternoon, the clouds cleared and the fog dispersed, and the sunlight penetrated through the clouds. The gloomy weather that had lasted for many days suddenly cleared up.

Seeing that the weather was good, Mother Shen prepared to take the bedding from home to the yard to dry in the sun.

There is no special place in the yard to dry bedding.

Have to pull the rope again.

Mother Shen shouted, "Xu Mo, find a rope and tie it in the yard so I can dry the bedding."

The man was helping Shen Jiaojiao peel melon seeds at the moment. When he heard the shout, he immediately replied, "Got it."

He put a pile of peeled melon seeds into a box on the coffee table and went outside to the yard.

Shen Jiaojiao was sitting on the sofa reading a book at the moment, while Shen's father was reading a newspaper on the sofa on the other side.

Shen Jiaojiao saw that Father Shen pushed up his glasses, put down the newspaper, walked to the window of the living room facing the yard, and "peeked" furtively.

Shen Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows, put down the book in her hand, and got up from the sofa.

I walked quietly to Mr. Shen's side and followed his gaze to look out.

Outside the yard, Xu Mo helped Mother Shen tie the rope for drying the bedding, and took the initiative to hold several beddings in his arms so that he could hang them up to dry for Mother Shen.

The sunshine today is exceptionally bright. The warm sunlight shines on the man's face, as if giving him a layer of golden light.

I don't know what they were talking about, but their faces were full of smiles.

Shen Jiaojiao retracted her gaze, tilted her head to look at her father, and asked in confusion, "Dad, what are you looking at?"

Mr. Shen was startled by the sudden sound in his ear.

The man's tall body trembled and his glasses almost fell off in fright.

He adjusted his glasses again and let out a long sigh.

He continued to look at the two people outside and said depressedly, "Jiaojiao, have you noticed that your mother has ignored me recently? Now she calls Xu Mo when she does things and never calls me."

Shen Jiaojiao laughed, "This is normal. As the saying goes, the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him. My mother likes Xu Mo, so she likes him to do things!"

Shen Jiaojiao patted Shen's father on the shoulder without any conscience and said, "Dad, you have already lost favor, accept the reality!"

Father Shen: “…” It’s very heartbreaking.

"Hey, I'm just kidding. Even if you've lost your mother's favor, your daughter still loves you! Don't be depressed. Be happy and smile."

Mr. Shen put on a forced smile.

Shen Jiaojiao: "...Forget it, stop laughing! Let's talk about something serious."

Father Shen: “…”

Shen Jiaojiao said, "Dad, can you get me some sets of textbooks for junior high and high school?"

"What do you need so many teaching materials for?"

Shen Jiaojiao lied, "My second brother told me that the college entrance examination will be resumed in the future, so of course I have to study in advance. I will prepare for the college entrance examination, and you just wait for your daughter to win glory for you!"

Father Shen looked at Shen Jiaojiao suspiciously, "My dear, you want to take the college entrance examination? But I remember that you never passed any exams before! Why don't you just forget it! Your basic knowledge is too poor, and it will be very difficult for you to review.

Our family doesn't need you to earn money to support the family, you just need to live happily every day.

Dad will support you."

Shen Jiaojiao was very depressed. How could her father say such hurtful and touching words?

"Dad, this time I want to prove that I am not a useless little girl. I want to take the exam and apply to Beijing University. I will be your student in the future. Dad, just wait for your daughter to bring you honor!"

Mr. Shen didn't want to undermine his daughter's self-confidence.

But I still find her bold idea incredible.

Applying to Peking University? I'm afraid Jiaojiao won't be able to pass!

After all, she didn't like studying much before. Although hard work can make up for lack of talent, the college entrance examination is not an easy thing. It is like a huge army crossing a single-plank bridge!

Why!

Forget it, if his daughter wants to take the exam, he should just support her.

It doesn’t matter if she fails the exam, as long as she is happy, she can do anything.

Father Shen said, "The teaching materials can be obtained, but why do you need so many?"

"I also have to give to my friends and family in the countryside! They also need to take the college entrance examination!"

Mr. Shen didn't say anything, but asked, "How many sets do you need?"

Shen Jiaojiao counted on her fingers and found that she had one set with Xu Mo, one set with her eldest brother Xu Zhengyang, one set with Er Gouzi, one set with Zhao Haitang, and one set with Chen Guangkun.

"Dad, I want five sets."

Mr. Shen always responds to his daughter's requests.

I agreed very readily.

He is a professor at Kyoto University, so it is not difficult for him to get a few sets of teaching materials.

Mr. Shen did not continue to stay in the living room reading the newspaper, but went to the yard and very tactfully helped Mother Shen with the work.

Shen Jiaojiao stretched her back, grabbed a handful of peeled melon seeds and went to the yard.

While watching them work, I leisurely ate melon seeds.

After a while, a head popped in from the gate.
