Brother so proud

"Cough-cough-"

With a cough, Lin Yuteng blushed, and pushed He Ze away, "Mum..."

Behind the two, Mrs. Zhang was holding a wooden bucket in one hand and scooping up a spoonful of stove ashes in the other, with her eyes turned to one side, and then she squatted down to clean up the dirt on the ground.

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

The yard fell silent all of a sudden, until Mrs. Zhang packed up and went into the kitchen.

"It's all your fault!"

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

"Shy..."

Seeing Mrs. Zhang coming out of the stove, Lin Yu immediately silenced her voice.

"Bullying Ozawa again?" Zhang's words were reproachful, and he approached with a porcelain bowl, "I see that it's cold outside, so I'll bring you some hot ones to taste."

"Em—" He didn't!

Lin Yu squeezed He Ze's arm hard, and the latter endured the pain with a smile on his face.

Lin Yu gradually loosened his strength.

The little actions of the two were all seen by Mrs. Zhang. He shook his head with a smile, and put the porcelain bowl on the table. The pancakes in the porcelain bowl were golden in color and steaming.

"This is fried glutinous rice. Brother Yu likes to eat sweets. I even added some sugar to it. Ozawa, you should try it too. Let's see how my aunt's cooking is."

"Thank you, Aunt Lin."

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

"Like sweets?"

"...Fortunately," Lin Yu added after swallowing in one gulp, "I like to eat delicious food."

"Food," He Ze laughed, picked up another one, broke off a small piece and put it into Lin Yu's mouth, "The fried color is older, isn't it more fragrant?"

The smile on Mrs. Zhang's face became stronger, "This was fried yesterday, and I heated up the rest today. Eat it first. If Ozawa thinks it tastes good, next time my aunt will make more and bring it with me." Go back and give Angle a taste."

"Then trouble Aunt Lin, Xiaoan has always liked these foods."

The three chatted for a while, seeing that Lin Yu had almost finished eating, He Ze handed the last piece of pancake to Lin Yu's mouth, and then got up to leave.

Mrs. Zhang sent him out of the courtyard, and when he turned around, Lin Yu poured a cup of tea.

"what happened?"

"Choking..."

Lin Yu followed his throat, then touched his lower abdomen subconsciously, "He Ze keeps stuffing it into my mouth, and I won't be able to eat dinner later."

"You, you, Ozawa is kind to you, and you don't appreciate it?" Mrs. Zhang gave him an annoyed look, "You are going to marry soon, and you have to be soft-tempered. I can see that, why not?" Someone pinched his own husband!"

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

"Still laughing! I just let you meet Ozawa!" Sitting down at the table, Mrs. Zhang seemed to think of something again, "By the way, you two have to pay attention, you will only get married next year. What kind of words did you see!"

"..."

"But I don't worry about Xiaoze, he can't do anything too much." Before Lin Yu could answer, Zhang's face was smiling again, "He is younger than you, and you usually care more about him." He, let him go, but you can't use your strength on him, what if you scare people away!"

"Em, if he was so easy to scare away, he would have already run away." Seeing Zhang's appearance, Lin Yu suddenly had the illusion of falling out of favor.

"What nonsense are you talking about, bah bah bah!" Mrs. Zhang spat on the ground, stepped on a few more feet, and sighed when she looked up, "Actually, Ah Mu is very happy to see you two are so nice." Come on, if your father can see this scene..."

"Em, Dad can see it, he is watching from the sky."

"That's right, I can watch it!" Mrs. Zhang patted the back of Lin Yu's hand, but her eyes were unfocused, "Em and your father have been looking forward to such a day with great difficulty, and we can't let people destroy it."

"slim Shady!"

Lin Yu clenched Zhang's hand with his backhand, and the latter came back to his senses and gave him a chuckle.

The howling cold wind took away the last bit of light, and the sky completely darkened.

……

On the other side, after He Ze left Lin Yu's house, he went to look for Liu San again, and didn't return home until after Xu Shi.

At that time, the family had already had dinner, and Mrs. Li made another meal for him.

When he finished eating, He An had coaxed Li Shi to sleep.He Ze pulled He Youcai to the room, took out the money from the purse and put it on the table.

Shining silver, a total of 82 taels.

He Youcai almost fainted from fright, "Where did it come from?"

"Gambling shop." He Ze was very honest.

The room was silent for a full quarter of an hour, and then there was a crackling sound.

"Father, take it easy, and wake up Mu again!" He Ze leaned against the wooden cabinet and confronted He Youcai, who was moving the bench on the other side.

He had expected this scene a long time ago, and he couldn't tell any lies just by taking out 80 taels at once.

"Don't mention your mother, it's useless to mention your mother! You little bastard, you have only been in peace for a few days, you, what I told you on the day of the co-engagement was all fart, right?"

He Youcai was so angry that his beard was shaking, and before he finished speaking, he rushed towards He Ze with a bench in his hand.

"Father, this time is just an accident, the last time, I promise!"

"Accident, never did you tell me about the accident! I have never seen you so bold before, and now you are lawless!"

The stool fell, the cup was broken, and the father and son ran after each other, and the battle was stalemate.

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

"Win? It's thanks to you that you won. If you lose, I won't be taking the bench!" He Youcai supported the table with one hand, half bent over and panting, his eyes half regretful and half angry, "Hello I don’t want to learn from you, but I just learned from your grandfather. Your mother and I have worked hard for more than ten years to pay off his gambling debts. Why, you feel that life is too comfortable now, and you want your father to continue helping him for the rest of his life. Are you paying off your gambling debt?"

As soon as He Youcai said "Grandfather", He Ze's expression suddenly changed.

He seems to have forgotten a big thing!

"Father, I'm at fault for this matter, you can fight."

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

"you……"

The bench in He Youcai's hands was raised and lowered, lowered and raised again, but he didn't touch He Ze for a long time.

"Daddy?"

"...I know I'm wrong?" He Youcai snorted coldly with a serious face.

"know."

In the next two quarters of an hour, He Ze made a series of in-depth self-examination and reassurances, and He Youcai finally calmed down.

"Father, calm down, it's just this one time, don't make another example!"

He Youcai gave him a sideways look.

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

Seeing that He Youcai ignored him, He Ze sat down at the table and made it clear that he wanted to set up a shop in the town.

"Father, am I worried that I don't have money? So go try it out, I have a few coins with me, and if I lose, I will come out naturally."

"...Since you have made up your mind, why don't you talk to me, tell your mother, we can always come up with a solution after discussing it as a family, you have to go to the casino!"

"Father-"

"Okay, just now I was also furious for a while. After all, this matter is my inability to be a dad! If dad can do a little bit, you can't just take care of yourself."

He Youcai glanced at He Ze, then sighed suddenly, before he could speak out, he said earnestly, "Gambling halls are not a good place, you won today, but there will always be a day when you lose, sooner or later you have to put yourself to death." I paid for it! Now that you know you made a mistake, remember it carefully, and you can’t go there again in the future, do you hear me?”

"Must remember."

"Just remember, you are lucky, you really won so much money by just trying your luck. But what do you think about selling flowers? No one in our family has touched that thing! It will cost you..."

"Father, didn't we never get in touch with Baizhi when we planted it? But the Baizhi in the field grows well, right? Besides, Dad, do you still remember the flower I sold last time? One plant costs 20 taels. "

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

"This……"

"Father, let's give it a try. Anyway, the money is earned for nothing, so I don't feel bad about it. Besides, it doesn't cost money to grow flowers, and they are available all year round. It's just that the shops need money, but Flower and Bird Alley is not as good as other markets. , It’s much cheaper in comparison, and we won’t lose much if we quit the job and sell it to others.”

After hearing He Ze's words, He Youcai was silent for a while, "Let me think about it again, I have to discuss this matter with your mother, setting up a shop in the town is no small matter..."

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

"What's the matter?"

"When I came back, I went to Lin Yu's house. When the Lin family came to make trouble, I was scared away, but it's not a way to go on like this."

Speaking of which, He Ze mentioned that the Lin family wanted to help Lin Yu get married again, and He Youcai immediately slapped the table, "The Lin family is too bullying! Where does he think this is!"

He Ze didn't answer, poured himself another cup and took a sip, "Father, I want to go to the patriarch's place tomorrow."

"Patriarch?" He Youcai pondered for a moment, "We have to go, we have let outsiders step on top of our heads, if the clan doesn't say anything, then we have to talk about it!"

The father and son reached a consensus, and discussed the specific matters for a while. After about half an hour, the oil lamp in the room, which had been on for half the night, finally went out.

It was pitch black outside, the moon was completely covered by clouds, and only the sound of howling cold wind could be heard faintly.

It seems that the sky is about to change again.

……

He Ze didn't go to the patriarch's house until the next afternoon.

In the morning, he went to the town, pushed back the agreed time with Cai Yun for a few days, bought some meat, food and two taels of good Pu'er tea, and hurried back.

As a junior, he always needs to bring something to the elders' house, let alone when he has something to do.

He Youcai originally wanted to come with him, but he refused. After all, there are some things that he would not be able to talk about if Father He was present.

The current patriarch of Hejia Village is called He Hong. It is said that he was selected as a scholar when he was young. He changed the name himself. He Ze should call him the third grandpa in name.

He Hong has been in office for more than ten years. He was elected by the clan. Among other things, at least there is nothing wrong with his conduct. After all, the people of Hejia Village are not so blind.

His home is in the center of the village, not far from the ancestral hall.

He Ze went through the things about the patriarch in his memory, but just when he looked up, he saw Lin Yu and Mrs. Zhang coming out of the gate of the courtyard.

The author has something to say: Lin Yu: I fell out of favor qaq—hahaha, there is a saying that a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she is 233333

Another: Thank you You Huan for Xi Baoer's landmine, bow to thank you, okay~
