Chapter 119 Nephew Reading

People tend to be nostalgic, but when faced with these countless good things, they can also be dazzled.

As soon as you enter the house, you see a row of maple trees. Although there is no good view of the red maples beating the fire at the moment, you can see that the maple forest is lush and green, and you will be able to see it next year.

It went around in a circle up, down, left and right, and everything was decorated according to Xue Niang’s Hanyi Courtyard in Dongyuan.

 It’s just more attentive and more skillful.

Xue Niang said with emotion while watching.

“Sixth sister-in-law also asked us to prepare things. I thought I was going to move the furniture together, but I didn’t expect it to be so complete. It turns out that only those with luggage can live in it.”

"If you like the things from the past, you can also bring them here. There are two rooms on the left and right, which you can decorate by yourself. However, I have arranged and decorated the things in the main room and the embroidery building in advance. If you feel that If it doesn’t satisfy you, just ask Aunt Dou to change it.”

Du Jingyi didn’t force himself too much. The place he wanted to live in had to be in line with his own wishes.

Xue Niang was extremely happy after hearing this.

Although the elder sister-in-law has been taking care of her for more than ten years, she still has a lot of respect for the sixth sister-in-law. After all, the elder sister-in-law is an elder in her heart, and the sixth sister-in-law is like a sister.

 Therefore, I held her hand intimately in the past and said a little shyly.

“Thank you, Sister-in-law Six, for taking the trouble to decorate it for me. I like it all.”

“As long as you like it, let’s go see the yard where sister-in-law and Heping’er live.”

"Um."

　　It is not very far from Xue Niang’s yard to my sister-in-law’s yard, just a cup of tea away.

 But the scenery is completely different.

 The first thing you see is an open and cheerful garden, which is now neat and tidy.

"I have ordered people to prepare all the grass seeds. When the time comes, they will be covered with grass ashes. Dense and green flowers and grass will surely grow next year."

Just by thinking about it, you can all know how green this yard will be by then.

Walking along the garden, the first thing you see is the study room with bright windows. It is as big as two rooms and has everything you need.

Unlike when he was in Dongyuan, when Shang Zhiping wanted to write and study, he basically stayed in his sister-in-law's room without a separate and neat study room.

 Seeing this, regardless of whether Shang Zhiping can succeed in studying in the future, who would not be happy to see this environment?

Sister-in-law Liu looked at Du Jingyi with tears in her eyes. She was moved.

 “Let my brothers and sisters worry about it, Ping’er’s study is very good, very good.”

Seeing her excitement and gratitude, Du Jingyi responded with a smile.

"As long as my sister-in-law likes it, the general also told me that he will ask his husband to teach Ping'er's studies. I thought that if I arrange it this way, it would be good if my husband comes."

 The sister-in-law is most concerned about her only son now, so as long as it is for him, she will do anything.

 On the other hand, when Shang Zhiping heard this, he felt a little aggrieved and worried.

 Perhaps he is afraid that he is not worthy of such a good gentleman and study, so he looks like this.

Du Jingyi saw it and naturally understood it.

She knew that Ping'er had a knot in his mind. After years of depression, he always felt that he was not good here and that he was not worthy there, so he was full of unconfidence.

Du Jingyi didn’t want to force him to grow up immediately, so he stepped forward to comfort him and said.

“Actually, for people like ours, regardless of whether they have to make great contributions or become prime ministers, as long as they can understand the principles in the book, know etiquette, justice and shame, and can apply what they have learned, that’s a good thing, right, Ping’er.”

These words relieved Shang Zhiping's worries a little.

 If nothing else, the pressure is a little less.

He just looked at his mother nervously and said something rather uncomfortably.

 “I’m afraid my mother will be sad.”

He muttered for a long time before saying this, but Du Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Silly boy, what are you talking about?" Sister-in-law Liu sighed, her eyes turning slightly red again.

 She does her best for her son wholeheartedly, and it is a good thing that her son can remember her.

 But now, the way he only thinks about her and forgets that he is also an independent person makes my sister-in-law very distressed.

 I wanted to say something, but was stopped by Du Jingyi.

After casting a relieved look, he turned to Shang Zhiping and continued.

"Although I am not a mother yet, I am also a daughter. I know that there are many parents in the world who hope that their children will succeed. But when it comes to it, it doesn't matter if you have a bright future. The most important thing is to live a healthy and happy life. This is more important than Everything is important, and I think my sister-in-law means the same thing."

Shang Zhiping looked at Du Jingyi in disbelief, as if thinking about the authenticity of her words.

 Sister-in-law also knows that what she did in the past was to some extent putting too much pressure on her children.

 So now I have calmed down and said some words in agreement.

“Aunt Liu Liu is right.”

Shang Zhiping relaxed a little when he saw this expression, he was no longer as restrained as when he first entered the garden.

After Du Jingyi saw it, he and his sister-in-law looked at each other and thought it was a good thing.

 So, Du Jingyi, who strikes while the iron is hot, mentioned this.

"Ping'er, do you have any hobbies in your daily life? I have left several empty rooms in this yard, which can be decorated for you individually."

 After hearing this, Shang Zhiping looked at Du Jingyi with a slightly confused look.

 Then his face turned red, he lowered his head and shook his head.

 Seeing him like this, my sister-in-law Liu was even more heartbroken.

On the contrary, Du Jingyi didn't find it strange and kept waiting quietly.

 It wasn't until Shang Zhiping gathered up his courage that he heard him whisper.

“I can play Cuju a little bit, but...but I’m not very good at it.”

He spoke like a mosquito, as if having hobbies was something to be ashamed of.

Du Jingyi rarely heard him express his position, so he immediately answered.

“There have always been Cuju competitions in Sui’an City. Since Ping’er likes it, how about we practice more and then go on the court and give it a try?”

 “Is it okay? I...I can’t.”

Du Jingyi saw hope in Shang Zhiping's eyes for the first time. Although it was later overshadowed by a strong sense of inferiority, she did not miss it.

 So he answered in the affirmative.

"You haven't tried it yet, how can you give up so easily? It's a good thing to like Cuju. One is to keep fit, and the other is to learn how to cooperate with others. It doesn't mean that you must win, but if If you really win, that’s not impossible.”

 It was probably because Du Jingyi's tone of voice was very cute, so Shang Zhiping's body felt less tense.

Sister-in-law Liu didn’t know anything about her son’s liking for Cuju.

At this moment, hearing the conversation between him and Du Jingyi, I felt both surprised and sad.

I have raised him for thirteen years, but I don’t understand him at all.

 It’s really sad.

Shang Zhiping saw that his mother's mood had dropped, and he thought that what he said had made his mother sad again.

So he immediately became embarrassed and said.

"Mother...son...son is just talking nonsense. My son likes to read and write. He will study hard when he goes back later!"
