9, Zhang

In the He family yard, He Youcai was squatting on the ground, smoking a dry tobacco gulp. He took a few more sips and looked up to the direction of the yard gate. Until there was no tobacco in the tobacco pipe, he stood up staggeringly and took a long time to stabilize his body.

"You said you are the same. You don't even sit on a stool. You like to squat like this all day long. Will your legs feel comfortable after squatting for a long time?" Li glanced at him angrily, and said, then washed the rag in his washing hands.

He was cleaning several dilapidated cabinets placed in the yard.

"Okay, I feel comfortable squatting!" He Youcai raised the cigarette pipe and knocked on his right arm, paused and frowned, "Boy, why haven't Ozawa come back yet? So, why did Ozawa tell him to go with Ang? He didn't even sue me! Do you still take me seriously?"

"How are you talking?" Li's movement stopped, "I just didn't take you seriously. What else do you want? He Youcai, I said, your temper has increased so far? Why, after so many years, I'm tired of seeing me?"

"You, you..."

"What's wrong with me? He Youcai, you said, I've been married to your He family for so many years, and I've been paying no expense. You're so good. You've been provoking my thorns when you're about to come. What do you want to do?"

"What! I just took it all, where do you want to go? It's really..." He Youcai reluctantly turned his gaze away, putting his cigarette mouth into his mouth and then lost its smell. He had to touch the empty cigarette pipe and sighed, "Oze has grown up and can't bear to let his brother suffer wronged. This is a good thing! Don't we just hope that he will be sensible this day? We have been through so many years. As long as Oze's injury heals, life will always be fine for a few more years."

"I'm just afraid. After all, our family is in the wrong. Uncle Wang is an elder. Is it not good to ask the two children to tell me? They haven't come back yet, so why don't we go over and take a look?"

He Youcai looked a little worried.

"I really feel a little bad if you say this..." He felt hot at the time, and he didn't expect these things for a moment. Li twisted the rag in his hand, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "Dad, why don't we go and have a look?"

"That's what I think."

He Youcai nodded, and Li hurriedly hung the rag in his hand on the clothesline in front of the yard, "You wait first, I have to change my clothes."

"Dad, Emu, what are you two saying?"

Before Li could take a step, He An's voice suddenly came from the front of the yard. He and He Youcai looked over in the voice, and the two brothers stepped in one after another.

"Here you come back? How about it? What did Uncle Wang say?"

Li wiped his clothes with both hands until his hands were dry before he hurriedly met him.

"Wang Ah-sama... say..." He An lost his voice and looked up at He Ze.

"Dad, Emu, don't worry, Yuzhu has returned it, and the marriage has been officially abandoned. As for Li Dali, Wang Ali has not had time to tell him what happened yesterday, so there is no big problem."

He Ze did not hesitate at all and opened his mouth. He An, who was standing beside him, looked at him with stars, full of respect - Brother is so awesome, he tells lies so smoothly!

"Xiaoze, are you saying true? What did Wang Ali say?" Li breathed a sigh of relief, looked at He Ze, and then looked at He An.

"No, Wang Amu watched An Ge'er grow up. Li Dali is not a good match. Since we have decided to quit the marriage, he will naturally not be able to say anything. Em, don't worry, this broken matter is over. When our family's life is better, we will choose a good one for An Ge'er, so there is no hurry."

"I don't want it..." He An came to his senses and immediately curled his lips.

"No, don't let you do it!" He Youcai knocked on his head with a cigarette pipe, and there was a smile in his always serious voice, "How can you not get married? In the next two years, you will have to be anxious, what stupid words are you saying!"

"slim Shady--"

He Ang let out a long voice, walked to Li's side a few steps, and buried his head on his shoulder.

"Okay, okay, so big a person, why are you still like a child?" Li smiled and pinched He An's ears lightly, "It's getting late, you should be hungry, right? Go and make food for you?"

"Em, it's still early, not hungry," He Ze shook his head, "I want to tell you something, I want to go to town tomorrow."

"Go to the town?" Li and He Youcai looked at each other, "What's the matter?"

"I came back from the academy in a hurry and even lost two clothes and some gadgets. I'll go clean up tomorrow."

"Clothes? That's it...why don't you let your father go? You can rest at home!" Li said as he hurriedly pulled He Youcai, who was wandering around in the sky, "What are you stunned, speak!"

"Ah? Oh!... Ozawa, you are right. My dad will help you get it tomorrow. Your injury is just a little bit far away from the town. Be obedient, I'll go."

"Dad, Emu, you have to move more because of your injury! Good to your health. Dad, your hand is still injured, it's more inconvenient than me. Don't you tell me, do you know where I put my clothes? And those little things? Can you find them? I'll go by myself, there won't be any trouble."

"Can……"

"Em, I am more familiar with the town than you. I didn't go there by myself in the past? Don't worry."

"Then... well, by the way, your second uncle's ox cart broke. These days, Emu has been taking the ox cart from your Uncle Zhao's family at the village head. His family has to send some fresh vegetables to the town every day. You can take his car tomorrow, remember!"

"Well, I understand." He Ze nodded.

He An followed Li into the kitchen. He Youcai, who was in the same place, stared at He Ze for a long time, then walked over and climbed up on his shoulder and patted it twice. His voice was a little hoarse, "Xiaoze, this family will be pointed at you in the future."

"Dad..."

"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore," He Youcai took a deep breath and waved his hand, "Go back to the room and help me find the tobacco leaves. You are so tight that I don't know where he has hidden it! This guy is really..."

"Dad, please keep a low voice. What if Em hears it again..." He Ze reminded with malicious intentions.

"Stop and stop..." He Youcai looked back with guilt, and felt relieved when he saw that there was no one in the yard, "Bad boy, you know how to scare your father!"

The father and son looked at each other, and then laughed out loud. Li in the kitchen heard the long-lost laughter and slowly curled the corners of his mouth.

God bless you, no matter how hard you work, you will always be fine.

...

This place is full of warmth, and Lin Yu is also heading towards the door of the house.

His family is at the end of Hejia Village, at the foot of the mountain to the south. After walking a few more steps, it was another family's land. Originally, there was only an abandoned mud house here, with the roof covered with thatch and not sheltering from the wind or the rain. The villagers saw that they had sent all the remaining tiles in their house, and the house finally came to form.

This also endured the most sad time.

Later, after some money was found, he persuaded him to beg the elders of Hejia Village to circle some more places here and build three rooms in all sizes. Although it was a little simpler, his life was still on track.

At this time, Zhang was sitting at the table embroidered patterns, his eyes reflected his face a little pale. He was in poor health and could not do anything else. He was rare to get up and always wanted to help Lin Yu do something.

When Lin Yu came back, he saw Zhang running the needle, and his eyes were almost on the needle.

He subconsciously sank his face, reached out and put the rabbit in his hand in a bamboo basket beside him, took off the longbow, walked forward and snatched the needle and thread from Zhang's hand, frowned, "Em, didn't you tell you not to embroider this? You forgot that you had a pain in your eyes two days ago? You're better, you did it again, you said you..."

"Brother Yu is back?" Zhang said happily and stood up. Lin Yu, who was beside him, hurriedly supported him, but he still held his face.

Zhang couldn't help laughing, "Okay... I just feel that my body has improved a lot these days, and I'm idle. You'll come back just now... I'll stop doing it. When Brother Yu comes back, Em said he won't do anything, okay?"

"Em, you don't know how to take good care of your own body. Uncle Xu said that you would rest more and relax, but you just don't listen!"

Uncle Xu is a doctor in the town. He has always been treated by Zhang's illness, which is very helpful to their sons. After a long time, Lin Yu called Uncle.

"Why don't Emu not listen? Now Emu's heart is so lenient! Your Uncle Xu said that he had a distant nephew who came to see him two days ago. He is good-looking and has good character. Let you both meet him another day..."

"Em! I've said it many times, I won't marry you!" He understood what Em meant, but a person like him...hadn't he harmed others! Lin Yu's head was shaking like a rattle, "Em, have we made an appointment to not mention this? I can make money, and our family will get better and better in the future. Why do you have to get married?"

"Brother Yu! You are already twenty now. In a few years... How can you be without a man at home? Listen to Emu..."

"Why not?! Emu, what man in this village can compare to me?" Lin Yu raised his chin as if he was dissatisfied.

"How can you say that..."

"Okay, Em, you just need to take good care of your body and stop worrying about these things," Lin Yu helped Zhang into the house and sat down at the table. "Didn't you always say that you have to talk about fate in everything, right? My fate is probably not here yet, and it's useless for you to be anxious!"

Although both of them knew the reason for the failure of the marriage, they both tacitly avoided unpleasant things.

Lin Yu picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Zhang, and then poured himself. Mrs. Zhang looked at him, sighed, and said nothing more. She just lowered her eyes and hid her sadness.

What kind of evil did he do in his previous life? God has given retribution to Brother Yu in this life!

"By the way, Em, I will send the rabbit and pheasant outside to the restaurant of Manager Yu's house in the town tomorrow. I will invite Uncle Xu to come and see you?"

It is probably because his nephew was also mentioned by him. Uncle Xu is a sensible person. He may not let him persuade him. He will not worry about his marriage in the future.
