Shen Wenjiao's cute little look was so adorable that she made Grandma Shen laugh. She immediately hugged Shen Wenjiao and her books in her arms, "Oh, my sister Jiao is a good child who loves to study, just like your father. Okay, mother will buy you some pens, ink, paper and inkstone! But, sister Jiao, you have to use them sparingly, because these are all bought by mother."

Grandma Shen hugged Shen Wenjiao and patted her thin back again and again, muttering, "Jiao Jie'er, you! I don't know if you can remember to come back to see your mother after you go to Beiping~"

In fact, when Shen Wenjiao came back empty-handed today, Grandma Shen knew that the third sister-in-law was not going to send Buddha to the west, so she would have to buy the inkstone and paper herself. Alas, another day when I didn't get any advantage.

"Mom, I can write you a letter! You can read anyway, so why don't you just follow me to read more books and practice calligraphy. It's also okay to read some storybooks when you have nothing to do!" Shen Wenjiao didn't want her mother to stay at home all day long, just embroidering and inquiring about all kinds of gossip at home. Such a life is not only closed and hopeless, but also easily makes people feel unbalanced and depressed.

After all, Grandma Shen's current situation is almost the same as that of a widow. At most, compared to a real widow, she still has some support and does not have to be too shy.

"Come on, you are just a kid and you still control me. Mom is living a good life, you don't need to meddle in my affairs. Go back to your room and have a rest, and read a book!"

Grandma Shen quickly sent Shen Wenjiao away, and then resumed her embroidery, stitch by stitch. After just two stitches, she stopped in frustration.

In fact, if I think about it carefully, what my sister Jiao said is right. It would be good if she could read books and newspapers. She could also read storybooks when she has nothing to do. Thinking that Jiao will go to her father's place in the future, this small courtyard that has just become lively will become deserted again.

I don't know what kind of family the master will find for Jiao Jie'er in the future, but considering the status of Master Shen, it will definitely be a wealthy family, she won't have to work in the fields, she won't have to show up in public, her future life won't be too bad. It's true that raising a child is always a worry, Shen Wenjiao is such a well-behaved girl jumping around in front of her, and Grandma Shen is not a heartless person, how could she not care!

"Forget it, forget it. Just take good care of it as long as you can!" Grandma Shen put away her troubled thoughts and muttered to herself.

After putting the Thousand Characters back, Shen Wenjiao didn't really take a rest right away. To be honest, Shen Wenjiao didn't feel tired at all today. She was carried back and forth by the old woman, and her little feet barely touched the ground today!

This won't do. Life depends on exercise. She needs to be more conscious. It's only 1924 now. The days ahead will be restless. She can't live without exercise. Shen Wenjiao still hopes to live to the st century! The system's health pills are not omnipotent. They just improve Shen Wenjiao's physical fitness to the best.

Shen Wenjiao took out a small shuttlecock from the cabinet with familiarity, "Well, I'll choose you today. Shuttlecock is good enough." She completely ignored the sepak takraw ball that she had just favored yesterday.

"Mom, please help me count~" Shen Wenjiao confidently ran out of the room with the shuttlecock.

Hearing Shen Wenjiao's crisp little voice, all the annoyance that Grandma Shen had just felt disappeared. A smile appeared on her face, but she complained, "You are such a restless girl. Run slower. You are not as gentle and gentle as a girl at all~"

She said so, but when she saw Shen Wenjiao standing in the yard ready to play shuttlecock, Grandma Shen had already put aside the embroidery in her hands and was ready to count for her little sister seriously!

Shen Wenjiao looked at the shuttlecock with bright feathers in her hand and encouraged herself silently in her heart. It was just a shuttlecock kick. It was no big deal. She could definitely kick a hundred or eighty of them easily, and maybe even do some tricks!

Get ready, get ready, go!

"One, two, three~ um, four..." Grandma Shen looked at the shuttlecock on the ground in amazement. She still remembered that she was the best at shuttlecock kicking among her sisters before her feet were bound. It seemed that her little sister would not be like her.

Grandma Shen was still sighing in her heart, and Shen Wenjiao's face was already red with shame. Although she was a high school student, she was smaller now, but she couldn't kick three shuttlecocks, no, four. I think her high school physical education score was also full marks. (Shen Wenjiao obviously chose to forget that she had run laps on the playground every morning and evening in order to pass the 800-meter race.)

"Mom, I wasn't ready just now. Let's do it again~" Shen Wenjiao clenched her claws, not knowing whether her body had shrunk or whether her temper had risen. She didn't believe it today, she couldn't kick ten shuttlecocks at once!

Grandma Shen nodded indifferently. This thing can indeed be practiced. She looked at Shen Wenjiao, who was jumping around in front of her, and her eyes couldn't help but look at her little feet. In fact, it's okay not to bind your feet!

The smile on Shen Wenjiao's rosy little face made Grandma Shen feel less regretful for not having her daughter tied up into three-inch golden lotus.

Obviously, Shen Wenjiao, who used to be lazy and ignorant, could not change her fate even if she changed her body in this life. She studied hard for a long time, jumped around in sweat, but did not succeed in achieving the achievement of kicking ten times in a row before dark.

"Huh? Mom, where's Shuang'er?" Shen Wenjiao, who had been working hard alone for a long time, finally realized that her mother had found a friend for her, but where was that person now?

Grandma Shen's eyes flickered. She was a little unsure whether she should tell her own little sister Jiao that she had already rejected Shuang'er!

"Shuang'er! She has gone home. She has younger brothers and sisters at home who need to be taken care of! You also know that Wang Ma works at the Shen family all day long, and someone needs to take care of the family. In a few days, we will build a small kitchen in our courtyard and be self-sufficient. In the future, mother will make whatever you want to eat for you, how about it?"

Grandma Shen is a good manager of the household. She has to take care of the kitchen every day to get food and other things. This is not cost-effective in the long run. The fifth brother's wife is much smarter than the old lady. It is better for her to stay out of the Shen family's affairs in the future.

Grandma Shen was ready to give up even Aunt Wang and buy a new maid herself, so that she could have the security of the maid's bond in her own hands.

The indenture of Grandma Shen's dowry, Lu Ma, was returned to her when she married the steward of the Shen family. She is now considered an employee in the Shen family.

The indentures of Wang Ma's family are all with the Shen family, which is not very reliable.

Grandma Shen had long wanted to buy a new maid, preferably one who didn't have too many worries.

"That's great. Then I can use the water I boil in my yard to take a bath. It's much more convenient."

Speaking of this, Shen Wenjiao wanted to complain. It was so troublesome for her to take a bath now. Fortunately, it was winter when she traveled here, and it was not long after the beginning of spring. The weather was not too hot, otherwise it would have gone bad.
