Chapter 38: Hou Men Like the Sea (2) "Not much." "Can you embroider?" "No" At this time, she suddenly clapped her hands and laughed loudly. It turned out that she had got a good deck of cards.I didn't dare to disturb her, so I just stood quietly and watched, thinking to myself that you invited me to be your tutor?Or call me a first-class aunt?Before I finished thinking about it, I saw that she had taken in a lot of chips dancing and dancing. Seeing me standing beside me blankly, she smiled and comforted me and said, "It doesn't matter, please sit down. Although my family is not rich, But it’s definitely not that you will be left alone. Please stay here as you like, and you can just take care of the servants if you want.” I felt very uneasy when I heard it, as if I was living here for nothing.

After a while, Mr. Dou sent someone to invite me over.He was sitting in the study, and there were many guests beside him. He was smoking a cigar, his hair was a little gray, but he was still full of energy and had a solemn attitude. I was timid and didn't dare to move forward, everyone was staring at me, I was so anxious that I almost wanted to cry. "Is it Miss Jiang?" He said gently, "Please sit down." He looked like a loving father caressing his frightened child. I was relieved to sit next to him. "My girl is weak and her aptitude is average. I hope you will teach her well." He put down his cigar and said slowly.I felt my face was hot, and I thought to be polite, saying that it was Ling Ai's natural intelligence, but after all, I couldn't speak, so I just lowered my head, only to hear Mr. Dou laughing and saying: "I'm still a child. , very naive." The words probably refer to me, I feel embarrassed, but on the other hand, I also feel very useful.

"Have you any children yourself?" he asked again. "Yes, I have two daughters with me." "Are there any boys?" "There is one too. It's just that their family won't give it to me." Mr. Dou suddenly sighed and said: "It is very unfortunate for husband and wife to leave, especially when it comes to women and children. In fact, it is better not to bring your two girls out. You can find a home quickly if you are alone. .” Home, I thought of Zhu Aiyue's bald old man, and couldn't help laughing to myself. Mr. Dou seemed to have misunderstood me, thinking that he had really guessed what was on my mind, so he said to me: "Is what I said right? The destiny of a woman is to marry a man, and it is unreliable to find a job and so on. Miss Jiang, you don't have to worry, most of my contacts here are famous people, I will be a good matchmaker for you in the future." Everyone laughed, and I couldn't sit still anymore, so I had to pretend to be ashamed and embarrassing, Run out.

There are radio singing and laughter everywhere, and I suspect that this is a peaceful and prosperous age, so people can enjoy themselves without any worries. The families are like the sea, as if they are completely isolated from the whole world of suffering.
