"Falling in love with our Ange? Who?"

"Do you know Li Dali from your Lijia Village?" He Youcai squirted and spat out another cigarette.

"He? This is not good! Absolutely not good!" When Li heard the name He Youcai said, he blurted out without thinking, "You don't know that he is, you are two years younger than you, right? You can almost be An Ge'er's father! Not to mention that there is a big mess at home, so you can bear to send An Ge'er to suffer such hardship?"

Li Dali is also a celebrity in Lijia Village. Am at home is so biased that his brother and sister-in-law are famously mean. The little money he earns is probably squeezed out. No one in the village is willing to marry his brother to him. He is almost forty years old and has not even married his wife.

Li didn't know what the child's father thought.

"Don't be so excited first," He Youcai glanced at Li in a bad mood. "You don't know that the Li family had left two months ago, and Li Dali and his brother and sister-in-law also officially separated. Maybe when something happened to me, your family didn't tell you much."

"Li Dali is a capable person, but he is burdened by his family. I think that age is not a big problem, and it is enough to care for others. Brother An doesn't need to serve his parents-in-law when he gets married. Our two families are close, so we can help with anything. It's time for Brother An to talk about marriage."

"...He Youcai, are you determined to eat the weight?" Li's face darkened.

His Ange'er was only fifteen years old. He originally wanted to wait until Ozawa got married and then find an in-laws' home for Ange'er, but now... when he thinks of Li Dali's age, Li was both angry and angry.

He really dares to think about it!

"Uncle Wang told me that Li Dali is not actually a gentle person. He was suppressed by him. He has learned his intelligence in the past two years and has saved a lot of money secretly. The previous one asked the clan elders of Lijia Village to divide the family and inherit the original yard of his family. It would definitely not be a loss to Brother An. Our family's current conditions, hey... I won't care about this injury after I'm injured. Anyway, it won't be cured. But yesterday I saw that you only grabbed three medicines for Xiaoze from the pharmacy in the town. What should I do in two days? Xiaoze's injury cannot be dragged down. It was already injured on the head. Then there will be someone else..."

He Youcai tried to lift his right hand, but he tried his best but moved slightly. His face was a little depressed and he slowly lowered his head.

I thought my life would be better and better, but I never thought that this disaster would almost ruin the family. What a life!

It's bitter.

As soon as He Youcai said something, both of them were silent. Li clasped his hands tightly, and after a long time, he said, "I will think of a way to get the money for Oze to get medicine. It really doesn't work. I'll go back to the Mu family and see if I can borrow some more. As for An Ge'er's affairs..."

"Dad, Emu, I'm back."

Before Li could finish his words, he was interrupted by a voice behind him. He An stood there with a bamboo basket on his back.

He wore a green cloth dress and his long hair was tied with a bun with a strip of cloth of the same color. He was placed there. He looked not tall, but his appearance was somewhat similar to He Ze, but his facial features were slightly softer, less tough and more delicate than him. I have to say that the two brothers completely inherited the good looks of Li.

"Brother An is back, are you hungry?" Li reached out and pinched He Youcai's back, smiled on his face, and greeted He An and took off the bamboo basket on his body. "I have cooked food in the kitchen, go and eat quickly."

He An didn't answer and said, "I went to see it today. The rice in our two fields will not be harvested after a while, but the sweet potato field at the foot of the West Mountain is already ripe. I got a few white radishes from the vegetable garden at the entrance of the village. Em, you go to the butcher shop in the town tomorrow to buy some big bones and make soup for Brother Ah."

"Em understands, go and have a meal soon. It's not okay if you're hungry." Li touched He An's soft hair, and his voice became a little hoarse.

His Ange'er is so sensible, how could he be willing to let him suffer this grievance? But Xiaoze's injury...

"I'll go see my brother first, and I'll eat later." He An shook his head and walked towards He Ze's room.

"This kid..." Li looked at He An's back and suddenly had a bad premonition, "Dad, do you think An Ge'er heard something just now?"

Minister He Youcai let out a sip of white smoke, waved his sleeves and swept his hands on the stone steps, and sat down, "I heard it when I hear it. The child is so old. You just go to explore his words tonight. If you don't object, we will go to Wang Daniel tomorrow to ask about the situation. Your family is not having a good life. The money we borrowed twice has not been paid back. Even if we borrowed it with a shame, we need someone to have it."

At this time, Li was bent down and picked out the two big white radishes from the bamboo basket. When he heard He Youcai's words, he paused, "I know, but An Ge'er... After so many years, the village is close. I know that Li Dali is not bad, just... Oh, I'll go and talk to An Ge'er tonight. If he doesn't want to, no matter how we do, we can't force the child!"

"Look at what you said! All these two children belong to you?" He Youcai held the cigarette pipe and knocked on the stone steps, his face not very good-looking.

"Okay, okay, that's all I said, are you taking this bad habit seriously?" Li took out a few sweet potatoes left in the bamboo basket and carefully put them aside. "We only have four pieces of land left in our family. After a while, we collected grain and planted a mu of wheat and millet in spring. The other three pieces of land were filled with soil. This thing was full."

"Listen to you." He Youcai sighed.

The sky was completely dark, the crescent moon climbed to the top of the mountain, and the village was quiet, and only occasionally heard a few barking sounds of dogs with cicadas.

The room was a little dark, He An lit the oil lamp on the table, and a cluster of small flames swayed against the window. He carried a stool and sat on the bed. He Ze on the bed was still sleeping heavily, but his brows were still frowning. It was supposed that the wound was hurting again.

Thinking of the conversation between Dad and Am just now, He An couldn't help biting his lip, and his eyes looked at He Ze with a complicated look.

My brother was three years older than him. When he was a child, he took him up trees to dig bird nests, went down the river to catch fish, and caught frogs and crickets. At that time, he thought his brother was the best brother in the world.

But... after growing up a little, he could only help with farm work at home. The family was living so hard, and my father and mother had to save money to study for my brother, saying that he didn't think my father and mother were partial, that was fake.

Especially later, my brother went home less and less often. Every time he got home and left, he didn't care about anything at home, and never asked how difficult it was for my father, Emu to save the money. If he was not satisfied, he would lose his temper and smash things. He almost fought with Emu several times. It seemed that since then, they had become increasingly alienated.

Now that my brother is sick, does my father and I want him to marry an old man?

He An unconsciously twisted his clothes with both hands until he heard a "cry" sound, and then he came to his senses.

The clothes torn apart.

Looking at the opening in a daze, He An's eyes turned red, and the condensed water vapor slid out of his eye sockets, and fell on the hem of his clothes with a click, leaving a little wet mark.

He An quickly raised his head, sniffed, raised the back of his hand and wiped his eyes hard.

But the corners of his eyes became redder.

He looked at the cotton cloth on He Ze's forehead, and all other emotions in his eyes disappeared, leaving only a touch of firmness.

Brother, you have to get better soon.

He stood up and pulled open the stool beside the bed. He An ran out of the door. Li, who had just come out of the kitchen, saw him and asked quickly, "How is it, have your brother woken up?"

"No, brother is sleeping soundly." He An paused and said with a light tone.

"Well, then don't ask him to rest. Come over and have a good rest. Brother, you specially told Em to leave you a few pieces of chicken, which is fresh!"

Without waiting for He An to answer, Li took two steps at a time and walked up to pull him into the room. The two of them sat down at the table.

There were already bowls and chopsticks on the table, with only a plate of green vegetables, two plates of pickles, and a few sweet potatoes he dug back today. He Youcai and Li’s bowls only had clear soup. The most abundant one on the table was He An’s bowl with a few pieces of chicken with soup.

In fact, Daddy Emu also feels sorry for him.

"Eat quickly, you didn't eat much at noon," Seeing He An stunned, Li pushed the bowl in front of him again, "There is still a little left for your brother to nourish his body. After a while, the family has the remaining money, and I will make it for you if I want to eat."

"I also cooked some white rice in the pot. You happened to have brought the sweet potatoes back today. Your father and I want to try it out. I haven't eaten this for a long time. The white rice is left to you alone. You will be full later. The chicken soup rice is delicious."

"……Um."

He An lowered his head, his face almost buried in the bowl, and the corners of his mouth gradually curled up.

Soon after putting down the bowls and chopsticks, he pulled Li away mysteriously. He Youcai looked at the backs of the two, picked up the cigarette pipe on the table and took another sip, and then chuckled after a while.

The days can always be passed.

The moonlight was brighter, and the sparsely hung stars were also shining, making the yard clear. A breeze blew by, bringing a little coolness.

He Youcai touched the thin cloth clothes on his body, as if he had thought of something, walked to He Ze's room, quietly helped him get the quilt, and quietly closed the door.

On the other side, in He An's room, the oil lamp was on for a long time that night.

...

The next morning, He Ze had just opened his eyes and saw He An who was coming in with a basin of water.

"Brother, are you awake?" He An said with a smile, and then soaked the scarf on the edge of the basin. "My father and Emu have something to do, and I'll take care of you today."

"Is there something wrong?" He Ze stroked his forehead with one hand and tried to hold down the edge of the bed with the other.

"Well, don't worry, you should come back at most noon." He An twisted the water from his face towel. As soon as he looked up, he saw He Ze's body swaying. He hurriedly ran over to support him, "Brother! Be careful! The doctor said, you are seriously injured, it's best not to get out of bed these two days."

"It's okay, I'm much better."

With He An supporting him, He Ze suddenly felt much more relaxed. He walked to the table in a few steps, took the scarf from He An, and said, "I'll do it myself."

He An didn't insist, and looked at He Ze's face and then continued to speak, "I've prepared the meal. I'll bring it to Brother A later. Be careful and don't move."

"……Um."

The door was opened again, and the rising sun was a little dazzling. "I'll be better off when I bask in the sun, so I won't close the door."

He An, who had already walked away, heard his voice again.

He Ze was subconsciously raising his hand to block the light, but before his arm reached his chest, his movements suddenly stopped. Hey... it was him?

A man came in at the gate of the yard. He was carrying a chicken in one hand and a small bamboo basket in the other.
