"Ahem—"

A cough sounded, Lin Yu blushed, pushing He Ze away, "Em..."

Behind the two, Zhang was carrying a wooden barrel in one hand and scooped a spoonful of stove ash with the other hand. His eyes turned to one side, and then he squatted down to clean up the dirt on the ground.

Lin Yu glared at He Ze, and the latter was a little embarrassed, and immediately sat up straight.

The yard suddenly became quiet until Zhang packed up and entered the kitchen.

"It's all your fault!"

"Blame me," He Ze nodded naturally, "Are you... shy?"

"Shy..."

At first glance, Lin Yu immediately stopped the sound when he saw Zhang coming out of the kitchen.

"Have you bullied Ozawa again?" Zhang Shiyu was blamed and walked up with a porcelain bowl. "I'm looking at it cold outside, I'll send you some hot ones to try."

"Em-" He didn't!

Lin Yu pinched He Ze's arm hard, and the latter endured the pain, but there was a smile on his face.

Lin Yu gradually loosened his strength.

Zhang saw all the little movements of the two. He shook his head with a smile and placed the porcelain bowl on the table. The cakes pointed in the porcelain bowl were golden in color and were still steaming.

"This is fried glutinous rice. Brother Yu likes to eat sweet food. I also added some sugar to it. Ozawa, try it too. See how my aunt's skills are?"

"Thank you, Aunt Lin."

He Ze first picked up one and handed it to Lin Yu, then picked up one and took it on his own. It was sweet and glutinous, and the thin skin on the outside was crispy, which was really good.

"I like sweet food?"

"...It's okay," Lin Yu swallowed it and added, "I like to eat delicious food."

"Foodie," He Ze laughed, picked up another piece and broke it into Lin Yu's mouth, "This fried color is a little older, isn't it more fragrant?"

Zhang's smile on his face became stronger, "This was fried yesterday. I'll make the rest hot today. You can eat it first. If Xiaoze thinks it tastes good, my aunt will make more next time and take it back for An Ge'er to try it."

"Then I'm sorry, Aunt Lin, Xiao An has always liked these foods."

The three of them chatted for a while, and seeing that Lin Yu had almost eaten, He Ze handed the last small piece of cake in his hand to Lin Yu's mouth, and then stood up to say goodbye.

Zhang sent him out of the yard. When he turned around, Lin Yu poured a cup of tea.

"What's wrong? This is?"

"Checked..."

Lin Yu calmed down his throat and subconsciously touched his lower abdomen, "He Ze kept stuffing it into my mouth, and he couldn't even eat dinner later."

"You, Xiaoze is good to you, and you don't appreciate it?" Zhang glared at him angrily, "You are about to get married, and you have to be softer. I have seen it, no one can pinch your husband!"

"Em..." Lin Yu bit his lip with a smile on his face.

"I'm still laughing! That's why you meet Oze!" Zhang sat down at the table, and seemed to remember something again in a flash, "By the way, you two have to pay attention, you will get married next year, what does it look like if you see it!"

“…”

"But I don't worry about this kid, Xiaoze. He can't do anything too much," Before Lin Yu could answer, Zhang's face smiled again, "He is younger than you. You have to care more about him on weekdays and give in. You can't use your strength to him. What should you do if you scare people away!"

"Em, he would have run away if he had to scare him so easily." Looking at Zhang's appearance, Lin Yu suddenly had the illusion of being out of favor.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Bah, bah, bah!" Zhang spitted on the ground, stepped on it a few more times, but sighed when he looked up, "Actually, Em was so happy to see you two so good. If your father could see this scene..."

"Em, what Dad can see, he is watching from heaven."

"Yes, I can watch it!" Zhang patted Lin Yu's back of his hand, but his eyes were not focused. "Em and your father finally waited for such a day, so no one could destroy it."

"slim Shady!"

Lin Yu held Zhang's hand tightly with his backhand, and the latter came to his senses and chuckled at him.

The howling cold wind took away the last little light and the sky completely darkened.

...

On the other hand, after leaving Lin Yu's house, He Ze went to find Liu San again, and did not return home until after the Xu hour.

At that time, the family had already had supper, and Li warmed him up another meal.

When he finished eating, He An had already coaxed Li to sleep. He Ze pulled He Youcai to the room, took out the silver from the wallet and placed it on the table.

It was shining silver, a total of eighty-two taels.

He almost scared He Youcai to faint, "Where did it come from?"

"Gambling house." He Ze was very honest.

The room was silent for half a quarter of an hour, and then a crackling sound rang out.

"Dad, please be gentle and wake up Emu!" He Ze leaned against the wooden cabinet and confronted He Youcai who was carrying the bench on the other side.

He had expected this scene, but he could not tell any lie even if he took eighty taels at once.

"Don't mention you, it's useless to mention you, Emu! You little bastard, you have only been at peace for a few days. What I said to you on the day of the engagement was just farts, right?"

He Youcai was so angry that his beard shook. Before he finished speaking, he rushed towards He Ze with a bench.

"Dad, this time it's just an accident. The last time, I promise!"

"Accident, you didn't tell me an accident when you were wronged! I've never seen you be so bold before, and you are lawless now!"

The stool fell down, the cup was broken, and the father and son chased each other and the battle was in a stalemate.

"Dad, believe me. When I went to the town today, I met a fortune teller. He said I was lucky. I thought to try it out. Look, didn't I win?"

"Win? I'll lose you. If you lose, I won't take a bench!" He Youcai held the table with one hand, half bent down and panted, his eyes were half regretful and half angry, "If you don't learn your good deeds, you will learn from your grandfather. You and I have worked hard for more than ten years to pay off his gambling debts. Why? You think your life is too comfortable now. Want your father to continue to help you pay off your gambling debts for the rest of his life?"

As soon as He Youcai said the word "Grandpa" and He Ze suddenly changed his face.

He seemed to have forgotten something big!

"Dad, I'm wrong with this, you can fight."

He glanced at the anxious He Youcai, and He Ze lowered his head and walked to him.

"you……"

The bench in He Youcai's hand rose and fell, falling and then rose, and he didn't touch He Ze for a long time.

"Dad?"

"...I know you're wrong?" He Youcai snorted coldly with a stern face.

"Know."

In the next two quarters of an hour, He Ze scraped his stomach and conducted a series of profound reviews and assurances, and He Youcai finally calmed down.

"Dad, please calm down. This is only once, so I won't be the case!"

He Youcai glanced at him sideways.

"Then you'll calm down now, I have something to tell you today."

Seeing that He Youcai ignored him, He Ze sat at the table and explained clearly what he wanted to do in the town.

"Dad, am I worried about not having capital? So I went to try it. I brought a few dollars with me, and I would naturally come out if I lost."

"... Since you have the idea, why don't you talk to me? Let's talk to you. Our family can always come up with a solution when discussing and discussing. You have to go to the gambling hall!"

"Dad——"

"Okay, I was so angry just now. After all, I am the one who is a father incapable of being a father! If my father is capable, you can't take anything on yourself."

He Youcai glanced at He Ze and suddenly sighed. Before he could speak, he said earnestly, "The gambling hall is not a good place. You won today, but you will lose one day. Sooner or later, you have to pay yourself! Since you know you are wrong, remember it carefully. You can't go again in the future. Have you heard?"

"I must remember."

"Just remember, you have good luck, you have won so much money by trying your luck. But what do you think about selling flowers? No one in our family has ever been exposed to that thing! This is going to be compensated..."

"Dad, have we not been exposed to the planting of angelica? But the angelica in the field looks good, right? Besides, Dad, do you still remember the flower I sold last time? One plant is twenty taels."

There is a huge temptation in He Ze's words.

"this……"

"Dad, let's try it. Anyway, this money is profitable for nothing, and I don't feel sorry for it. Moreover, it's not expensive to raise flowers. There are all kinds of flowers and flowers and birds. It requires money to buy shops, but the flower and bird alleys are not as cheap as other street markets. It's much cheaper than that. If we don't do it in the future, we won't lose much if we buy them for others."

After hearing He Ze's words, He Youcai was silent for a while, "I think about it again. This matter must be discussed with you, Em. It is not a trivial matter to buy a shop in the town..."

"Of course, you can discuss it slowly," He Ze poured a cup of tea and handed it to He Youcai, "This is just one of them. Today there is one more thing I want to ask for your opinion."

"What's the matter?"

"When I came back, I went to Lin Yu's house and ran into the Lin family who came to make trouble, which scared me away, but this was not a solution."

As he said that, He Ze mentioned that the Lin family wanted to help Lin Yu see the marriage again. He Youcai immediately slapped the table, "This Lin family is too bullying! Where does he think this is!"

He Ze did not answer, and poured himself a glass and took a sip, "Dad, I want to go to the patriarch's place tomorrow."

"Class leader?" He Youcai pondered for a moment, "I have to go. We have to let outsiders step on our heads. If the clan doesn't say anything, then we must speak up!"
