Chapter 204 How about trying harder?
Chapter 204 How about trying harder?
Shu Tingyu touched his nose. His father was a complete biased person who favored girls over boys. Whenever he came back, he would talk about his precious daughter all the time. It would be strange if he was angry with Xiaoxiao. It would be good for him to take this opportunity to show his love for his sister. As long as he didn't say it, no one would know that he was stepping on his father to get his sister's care, Shu Tingyu thought silently.
When Shu Tingfei heard that his father had returned, he was a little worried. He was very sure that his father would be angry when he returned. His father had a bad temper. When he made mistakes in the past, his father would beat him up.
He quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, little sister. Although Dad is very fierce, if he dares to hit you, I will take the blame for you. You can go find Mom quickly. With Mom here, Dad won't dare to hit you."
Dad is a bit old-fashioned, but he also listens to mom. He knows that his sister will definitely be angry if she dresses up as a man to go to the academy. Besides, dad’s beatings hurt a lot, so he might as well practice before dad comes back to avoid being unable to bear it when dad beats his sister.
"Third Brother!"
Shu Xiaoxiao shouted with emotion.
She also knew that it was somewhat against common sense for a woman to dress up as a man, and it was normal for her father to be unhappy, but she didn't expect her third brother to be so supportive. Wow, it turned out that the third brother was the most reliable.
"Third brother, you don't have to carry it. We can run together and run faster." Shu Xiaoxiao said seriously. She is not a disloyal person.
"Okay, I'll pull you along and run faster then."
Shu Tingfei agreed verbally, but in his heart he was still thinking that he would have to drag his father by himself. His sister didn't know that his father was not only strict, but also ran fast. It would be lucky for the two of them to be able to escape with only one sister. If the two of them were to escape together, they might both get beaten.
He has already prepared himself for sacrifice, and hopes that his elder brother will be able to support him and let his sister ask their mother for help.
Shu Tingfei was touched and thought that he was indeed the most caring brother.
Shu Tingyu almost wanted to roll his eyes. In his father's mind, sons and daughters were not on the same level. He felt that his son had to go through more hardships and experience more difficulties before he could grow up to be a man of integrity.
The daughter is so delicate and soft, and she just wants to be happy every day. The father loves his sister so much that he can't wait to get angry and hit her. The third son thought his sister was a rough boy like him.
It is said that daughters are more caring than sons. After the younger sister came back, his room was filled with soaps, essential oils, and delicious food from the imperial chef. The younger sister also sent him gifts from time to time.
The things he wears on his hair and on his body were all given to him by his younger sister. As for his younger brother, he can just come and ask him for them.
He didn't feel that way before, but now that there is a comparison, he is quite envious of his father for having a little sister as his little cotton-padded jacket. He only has two little boys. It would be fine if they didn't ask him for things, but he has never received any gifts from them. No, he has to go back to his wife and try hard. Maybe their little cotton-padded jackets are also waiting to be reincarnated.
"Dad won't be back for a while, you guys go play first!" He wanted to talk to his wife about the little cotton-padded jacket, there was no way he could lose to his dad.
Watching her eldest brother walking away quickly, Shu Xiaoxiao saw that he was busy again, and wanted to catch her as a soldier, so she had to pull her third brother: "Mom, you go ahead and do your work. I'm going to play with my third brother."
Having said that, he turned and ran. A step slower would be too respectful to those trivial matters.
Ye Xue Ning couldn't help laughing, she originally wanted to let her daughter know the housekeeper's procedures in advance so that she would have a better idea of the Yongle Earl's Mansion. She didn't expect that he said too much and it scared her a little.
Forget it. My daughter is the uncle anyway. He has plenty of servants and she can still help with the affairs. As for the future, let’s wait until she is older. There is no rush.
Shu Xiaoxiao took Shu Tingfei to find the carpenter. She had only told the carpenter once before, and she didn't know if the carpenter remembered it. She had to go and see if she could make it as quickly as possible.
She is just an ordinary girl in modern times. She is more familiar with roller skates and skateboards. However, she has only tried skateboarding for a few days and cannot stand steadily yet, so there is no rush. She is more familiar with roller skates and will take her father to skate on the ice and enjoy the feeling of the wind.
Just think of it as a gift for my dad. My dad is a military commander, so he should have no problem with balance. I'll also ask my mom what size shoes my dad wears. I'm sure my dad will like it.
I thought it would be good to have a prototype of the skates, but when I came over, the shoes were basically finished. The wheels were all made of wood. Although they were made of wood, they were polished very smoothly and had a fine texture. They must be good wood. Shu Xiaoxiao tried it with her hand again, and it rolled very smoothly, so there was absolutely no problem.
Her boots were on top of the wheels, and a wooden board was added under the boots, perfectly combining the shoes and the rollers together. Shu Xiaoxiao pulled it and found it was very strong, not loose at all. Looking at the finished product, Shu Xiaoxiao just wanted to shout: Six six six, awesome!
"Master, you are amazing. This is really well done, better than I imagined!" Shu Xiaoxiao praised happily.
When the old master heard this, he smiled. He was just an ordinary carpenter. He was praised by Master Ye and could get two more orders when he returned. His craftsmanship was praised by the noble man, which made him a level higher than other carpenters.
"No, it's not like that. Master, you described it in detail, and I just made it according to its details." The old carpenter said modestly.
"Don't be modest. I know you have good skills. How long does it take you to make a pair of shoes like this?" The whole family must arrange for such fun skates.
Hearing this, the old carpenter became even happier. It seemed that this was still a big deal!
"My Lord, the process of making these shoes is not complicated. As long as there is enough wood, I can make a pair in an hour at most. If my apprentice can help, it will be even faster."
"Okay, Master, make a pair of shoes according to my third brother's first. I'll tell you the size of the rest later. Just make them according to the size. It will be done in two days. There's no rush."
Because the work was done very well, Shu Xiaoxiao even asked someone to give her more money. After all, as a worker, no matter how many good words you say, it is not as practical as giving her more money.
Sure enough, the master craftsman who received the silver said that he could finish the third young master's pair of shoes today. Look, it’s almost dark, and the master craftsman is still so motivated. This is the charm of silver!
"Third brother, these are skates. You can skate on ice and flat surfaces very quickly. Let's go play together tomorrow."
Shu Tingfei looked at the pair of skates over and over again, his eyes full of novelty. With the wheels, these shoes can run as fast as a carriage. He must be able to run very fast when wearing them. He really wants tomorrow to come soon!
Into the night
Zhou Wenxiu looked at her expectant husband, a little puzzled: "Husband, what's wrong with you?"
Could it be because my father-in-law and second brother are coming back soon? But my husband is not an impulsive person, so he wouldn’t be so happy until now!
Shu Tingyu looked at his wife with a bright face: "Madam, how do you feel about my sister?"
Zhou Wenxiu was surprised: "Xiaoxiao? Xiaoxiao is fine! Don't you have enough money? I have one thousand taels in my dressing box, you can take it!"
To be honest, Xiaoxiao, my sister-in-law, is really thoughtful. Every time she comes back, she brings some small gifts to the house. No matter how valuable they are, this thoughtfulness is still very comforting.
In addition to soap, the sister-in-law also told them many skin care tips. After listening to her sister-in-law, her and her sister-in-law's faces became smoother. As for the mother-in-law, she felt embarrassed in front of them, but looking at her smooth skin, she knew that she must have used it secretly as well.
