Chronicles of Ancient Life

"Since my elder brother went to Dingyang Mansion, I haven't been back for three years. This time, I have to stay for a longer time. By the way, my elder brother hasn't seen Xiaoye yet, but I have to let my elder brother take a good look at the child and make up for it." What about generous presents. There is also the newborn child of the elder brother’s family, this time we have to make up for the newborn gift..." Lin Zijun came to his senses, and immediately began to think about what he needed to prepare.

"Okay, okay. There's no need to worry about these things. Eldest brother doesn't know our situation yet. I'm afraid the more you prepare things, the more elder brother will come back. You just take out two new bedding to dry. Others I'll talk about it when my elder brother comes back." Yu Wenli stopped Fu Lang who was about to get up, sat down next to him, took his hand, and stroked the calluses on his palms and fingertips.

Yu Wenli felt a little sour in his heart, and said in a low voice, "I'm the one who dragged the eldest brother down. He has been married to the Lin family all these years, and he has to serve the elders, take care of his husband, and have to have children. Just look at it and you'll know what the life of the eldest brother is like." He worked hard, he still worried about me, and subsidized us. I’m afraid it’s even more difficult. Zijun, you’ve been married to me for six years, and you haven’t had a single day of leisure. Being pregnant with Xiaoye is even more difficult. I, am I useless…”

"How can I say that, the eldest brother is really hard. But I don't think I am so hard. Although I am a brother, I think I am no worse than you guys. I can still support my family and establish a family. Don't you and others Men look down on us, even though I have no skills, it doesn't mean that other brothers don't have... If you have this heart, our life will be happy and long." Lin Zijun said with a smile in his heart.

Yu Wenli also laughed when he heard it, "Listen, where did your words go? I didn't look down on you guys. The eldest brother is very powerful, and you are also very good. It's a pity that the world is like this, and it's embarrassing for you brothers... …Okay, that’s getting too far. I…”

Before Yu Wenli could finish his sentence, he heard Mrs. Wang calling for dinner outside the door.So he stopped talking, got up and took Fulang and the child to the main room.

Yu Jiaze almost forgot himself when he heard his father and father talking about the excitement.It’s very helpless. You should not have said your feelings in private. In front of my face, I am also very embarrassed, but it’s okay to listen to it occasionally.

Pretending to be tender is a technical job, Yu Jiaze always feels that he is acting bluntly, and hopes that it will not be too strange to others.Don't say anything else, fill your stomach first.

The Yu family had a peaceful dinner this time, and no one mentioned what happened in the afternoon.Even Mrs. Wang didn't find fault, but she didn't give Yu Wenli a good face.

Yu Jiaze's hut was called a room, but it was just like Yu Wenli's room, separated by wooden boards, with a small bed and a small cabinet added.There are noises that can be heard on both sides at night.

At night, Yu Jiaze was lying on the small bed, and vaguely heard his father talking in a low voice. "Zijun, do you think dad did it on purpose this time?" Yu Wenli's voice was depressing.After a while of silence in the room, Lin Zijun responded softly, "Zixi, don't think about it."

Moonlight shines through the window on the bedside.The room fell completely silent.

Yu Jiaze turned over and couldn't fall asleep listening to the shallow breathing next door.Did grandfather Yu Jiade really prevent daddy from taking the government examination on purpose?If yes, why?

When Yu Jiaze woke up, it was already daylight.After such a long time, I still can't get used to the cumbersome ancient clothes, and the socks have to be tied up... Hehe, from the perspective of my previous life, this kind of monotonous and old-fashioned clothes would look a little dusty to anyone who wears them .But it's like this all over the world, so it's really a matter of temperament and appearance.

I am really grateful that the Yu family is regarded as a country gentry's family. Although there are no servants and maids, they can still afford green salt to brush their teeth and bath beans to wash their face.Otherwise, you can't clean your mouth and teeth well, take a bath and shampoo.That's really going to crash.

When Lin Zijun entered the room, he saw his son had finished dressing.Strolling on the small bed to make the quilt, a little bean running around at the head and the end of the bed folded the quilt and stretched the sheet.Really cute and well-behaved.

Lin Zijun came over, hugged his son, and took a sip on his face. "Xiaoye is so clever, I have done everything myself." He bowed his head and tidied Yu Jiaze's clothes. "Come and put on your shoes, we'll have breakfast."

Yu Jiaze had been bored all morning watching the two brothers of the Wu family playing marbles.

In his previous life, Yu Jiaze used to play marbles when he was a child. When he had money, he bought glass ones to play with. If he didn't have money, he used mud balls to dry them and play with them.I also collected a handful of beautiful glass marbles and wanted to keep them as souvenirs, but unfortunately lost them when I moved.Now that I saw it, it was really kind, and I moved to the side to touch a few.

Lin Zijun was chatting with the Wu family's husband, "Xiaoye, the child, is named Ye, and he is so cute, you are blessed." The Wu family said to Lin Zijun.

"These two from your family are strong and lively. It's a joy to look at. This one from my family is like his father, an idiot."

"Look at what you said, it looks like your man is not good, he can study and improve. It doesn't look like he is just blind."

The two began to praise each other's children, but they didn't finish talking.Wu Yuan came in in a hurry and shouted, "Linzi, go home and have a look, your married elder brother is back."

"Really, this is really great. Brother Wu, I'm going back now." Lin Zijun stood up in surprise, and quickly prepared to take the child outside.

"Lin Zi, don't worry, I haven't finished talking..." Wu Yuan hurriedly called Lin Zijun to stop.

"Master, what are you doing to stop Lin Zi, why don't you let him go at this time?" Wu's Fulang asked.

"Brother Wu, is there anything else?" Lin Zijun also asked suspiciously.

"As soon as your elder brother came back, he called Shanglizheng, the elders of the Yu family and your third uncle to go home together. What's the matter? You should be careful."

"Thank you, Brother Wu, then I'll put the child here first, and I'll go back and have a look." Lin Zijun said.

"You go, I'll take care of the child for you for a while." Mrs. Wu responded quickly.

"Xiaoye, play here for a while. Dad has something to leave for a while."

"Well, Dad, you go." Yu Jiaze resisted not shaking off his dad's hand on top of his head.

Lin Zijun left in a hurry, and Yu Jiaze's thoughts also flew away.Yu Jiaze squatted down, fiddled with the clay marbles carelessly, thinking about what was going on at home.

The two brothers of the Wu family, the eldest Wu Shi is eight years old, and the second Wu Lin is six years old.Seeing the little Yu Jiaze squatting on the ground, he was a little curious, so he leaned over and pulled Yu Jiaze and said, "Brother, we will teach you how to play marbles. Come, come, come together."

The Wu family asked the two brothers to play with the younger brother, and they also talked about the Yu family.

"Since the eldest brother of the Yu family went to Fucheng, the life of Wen Li and his wife has been difficult. It's good that Wen Li doesn't come back often in the county. This husband and son are not unreasonable for staying at home. I saw it at Yu's house. Those two of Wang's can't do anything big to bully people. You guys don't know, it's the little things that are the most annoying." Wu Jiafulang said.

"Those are trivial things that can't be put on the table, and they are worth the battle of the big brother of the Yu family. I think it's probably because Wen Li was called back halfway in August this year, and he didn't pass the exam." Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said.

"What, it's not because old scholar Yu is seriously ill. I'm afraid that something might happen... Could it be that old scholar is pretending?" Wu Jiafulang raised his voice because of surprise.

"Keep your voice down. I think it's probably true. Otherwise, as soon as Wen Li came back, the old scholar would be alive and kicking in a few days. You see, it's only been a month, and people who are sick and dying have the strength to go over the mountain to see their daughter. It's a trick." Wu Yuan felt a little uncomfortable with this old scholar, so he made this guess.

"Hey, this is really a stepfather. He stopped his own son from taking the exam. This is a great event for the glory of the ancestors! According to the words from the county gentleman, Wen Li is likely to win this year. The old scholar! What are you drawing?"
