Chapter 117 Changes Start from Little Things
Chapter 117 Changes Start from Little Things
When they returned to the cave, Shen Youyou and her friends were given an unprecedented welcome by the little kids. It was so warm and welcoming.
Shen Yuanbao was seen holding Shen Luming with one hand and Shen Nannan with the other.
They ran towards them very quickly, and the little kids shouted, "Sister Yo Yo is back, Sister Yo Yo is back!"
Haha! I just don’t know how much water is in this warm welcome. Is it welcoming them or welcoming the sugar?
But Shen Youyou didn't care. She just thought of it as a welcome for them.
"Sister, sister." Shen Luming ran up and hugged Shen Youyou, his eyes were big and watery, and his pupils were particularly large.
Shen Youyou pulled Shen Luming back. The little kid was full of energy and his hands were still warm.
Shen Yuanbao pulled Shen Nannan to follow behind and approached Shen Erya: "Sister, are you tired? Is the basket heavy? Let me help you carry it!"
Shen Erya looked flattered, but she was pretending to be a little exaggerated. She covered her pink lips and blinked her almond eyes twice:
"Yuanbao, you want to ask if there is any candy in the basket?"
The question didn't sound flattering at all, it was so direct!
Shen Yuanbao was eight years old and could understand what his sister meant. He was a little confused and was about to lose his temper.
Shen Youyou coughed twice without even looking back, and she knew that the boy was going to get angry.
She said, "Yuanbao, Erya really loves you. In order to give you candy, she climbed a tall pine tree and almost fell down.
And among so many sisters collecting candies together, Erya collected the most and worked the hardest. Oh! I don’t know why Erya worked so hard.”
Shen Youyou did not lie, Erya almost fell down, and she indeed collected the most. In fact, Shen Youyou guessed that it was because Erya loved sweets the most.
But it didn't stop her from using this to educate Shen Yuanbao.
Although Yuanbao has changed a lot recently, he no longer calls Erya a dead girl and no longer snatches her food.
But the three-foot-thick ice does not form overnight, and the bad habits acquired from childhood cannot be changed in a day.
When it is time to educate him, you have to deepen his impression. For a child of Yuanbao's age, the more you ignore him and the more indifferent you show, the more he will hate you.
You can't obey him in everything, otherwise he will become lawless when he grows up and won't take others seriously.
But if you point out how good that person is to him when he is about to lose his temper and blame others, such young children are most easily moved, and it is also a good time to repair their relationship.
As soon as Shen Yuanbao heard this, he immediately put away his angry expression and looked at Erya with guilt in his eyes:
"Sister, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so angry again, and I shouldn't have cared about Tang first. How are you? Are you hurt?"
Shen Erya was also very sensible. She immediately put away her joking expression and said in a slightly fragile tone:
"It's nothing serious, don't worry, I didn't really fall down, I finally grabbed the branch, and just scratched the palm of my hand."
After saying that, he asked Shen Yuanbao to look at the two bloody hands. Indeed, both hands were scratched.
This time Shen Youyou turned around and saw that Shen Yuanbao was about to cry, so she quickly said, "Don't cry, if you cry, Sister Erya might get hurt even more. You know Fourth Aunt..."
Shen Youyou didn't say the rest of the words, but I believe Shen Yuanbao can understand that in ancient times, children were already very sensible at the age of eight.
Although Shen Yuanbao was a little spoiled, he was not stupid. He naturally knew what Shen Youyou meant and quickly spoke up:
"Don't worry! Yoyo sister, I won't let mom beat my sister again. I will protect my sister in the future."
After saying that, he wiped his face with his dirty sleeves.
The four Shen Youyou sisters looked at each other, and Erya's eyes were full of gratitude.
This is my own brother. Who would want their own brother to look down on them in every way? Not to mention that there is no sister who hates her own brother naturally.
Nowadays, there are many bad relationships between siblings because of their parents’ favoritism.
As long as she doesn't become Voldemort, Shen Youyou still hopes that her family will be happy and harmonious. Yuanbao is small and easy to coax.
It's the little aunt, who has been indoctrinated with the idea that boys are treasures and girls are weeds for many years. It will take time for her to change.
Take it slow. Nowadays, every household no longer beats girls for no reason, and as they become more capable, their families will change their minds.
How can there be so much love without reason in the world?
Especially women who are imprisoned by decadent ideas. Take Shenjia Village for example, there are almost no men who beat or scold their daughters. Of course, this is also because daughters and fathers in this era have to avoid suspicion and have little contact.
Instead, he worked with his grandmother and mother every day, and the general understanding of ancient people was that boys were favored over girls.
It’s not that there are no people who like daughters, but there are very few who like daughters more than sons. For example, Shen Fugui, who has no daughter, is often seen teasing his little girl.
For example, my eldest uncle has both a son and a daughter, but he favors Sister Taohua more.
Shen Zhiqiu doesn’t count, as he is not imprisoned by decadent ideas.
For example, Grandma Hua likes all her grandchildren, her sons and daughters, but she likes her little granddaughter the most.
My great-grandfather's family does not favor boys over girls because they have few girls.
There are no daughters in Hunter Gao's family, only boys. Grandpa Gao is obsessed with wanting a granddaughter.
Doctor Guo's family is special. The one with the most talent in medicine is not his grandson, but his granddaughter, so the two elder sisters of the Guo family are also very favored.
The rest either don't have girls or are from families with very few girls.
There were some who were partial, but things have gotten much better now. As long as Shen Zhiqiu didn't beat or scold his daughter, they would follow suit. And they also knew that if they beat or scolded their daughter, the first person who would not be able to tolerate it would be Shen Zhiqiu.
Take it one step at a time. As I said before, don't be impatient. Start with small things and make changes bit by bit.
Moreover, Shen Youyou felt that everyone had been changing, because ever since his father said that they would disband if things really didn't work out, no one beat their wives or girls anymore.
"You must be hungry. Hurry up and wash your hands and have dinner. I made kudzu root powder paste today."
Li Jingshu washed his hands and prepared to serve rice to Shen Youyou and the others.
Shen Youyou asked reflexively: "Did it happen so quickly?"
"After your grandmother and the others drained the moisture from the first batch, they spread a bamboo mat on the kang, broke it into small pieces and baked it dry."
Shen Youyou stopped her and said, "Let's serve more later. Have you all eaten yet?"
Li Jingshu was confused: "We haven't eaten yet. You and your father haven't come back yet, so we haven't eaten either. But if you are hungry, you can eat first. It's not good to eat outside at noon."
Shen Youyou nodded: "Then let's eat together, we are fine."
As he spoke, he scooped out two large bamboo bowls of sugar from his bamboo basket, rinsed them with water, and picked up a piece of gauze to filter it.
Sister Daya was very perceptive and rushed to help. She guessed that Shen Youyou was going to put sugar in the kudzu root paste.
Yes, she guessed all right, otherwise Shen Youyou would think that Sister Daya is very smart!
Shen Youyou filtered the syrup twice to remove the impurities, and then asked Sister Taohua to light the fire and boil the syrup over medium heat. It would be best to use low heat so as not to overcook it, as the syrup would become bitter if overcooked.
But Shen Youyou was anxious, so she chose to use medium heat, but she kept stirring with a spoon.
I just want to get it ready before his father and others come back, and add it to the kudzu root paste.
