Back to the ancient restaurant

As soon as Li Zian left, Mrs. Li also calmed down, but looking at her still angry, Second Brother Li couldn't help but sighed, and persuaded the crowd who were still watching outside, Second Brother Li closed the courtyard door and pulled He took a stool and sat down opposite her and Brother Li.

"Brother, sister-in-law, do you think that your parents are biased toward your younger brother?" Second Brother Li asked.

Hearing this, Mrs. Li immediately replied: "What do you need to say? The family saved money for his study, and now that he doesn't read books, he has to open a shop again. How much does it cost to open a shop in the town, parents Didn't pay him, where did he get so much money? It doesn't matter if the second brother is still young, I can't do it with your elder brother, your elder brother has no skills, and civilized marriage is a matter of concern. Wen Qing watched Let’s talk about daughter-in-law, there are places where money is used everywhere..."

Seeing that the sister-in-law was getting further and further away, Brother Li waved at her and interrupted her.

"Sister-in-law, you have been married to our family for almost 20 years. You can be regarded as the younger brother who you grew up with. You should know what kind of person he is."

Seeing that the sister-in-law's expression froze, she didn't say a word.Li Ziyang glanced at the silent elder brother, and couldn't help sighing.

His big brother is good at everything, but there is just one thing, he has soft ears and no opinion.My sister-in-law is not a person who can't listen to words, but when she meets a gourd whose mouth was sawn off...

"Sister-in-law, we are all one family, so there is something we can't say directly. Regardless of whether the parents have given money to the younger brother, with the younger brother's temper, if he earns money, can he be the kind of person who forgets his roots?"

"The little brother should also talk about this when he came back today. He is very filial. What will he think now that you and mother have such a fight? The friendship that was originally twelve points is probably only five points."

Seeing that Mrs. Li's eyes flickered and she didn't speak, Second Brother Li sighed and stood up and walked out. After taking two steps, Second Brother Li turned around and looked at the two of them again, saying, "Sister-in-law, some words can't be ignored blindly." Listen to partial belief. Otherwise, it will be too late for you to regret it in the future."

Perhaps it was the words of Second Brother Li that helped, and Sister Li finally calmed down.Second Brother Li looked at Brother Li's dumb and speechless appearance, and finally got angry that he couldn't match the blood relationship, so he sighed and couldn't help reminding him.

"Brother, if you don't want to talk to the younger brother when you start work, don't really make him feel cold."

……

On the carriage back, Li Hongshen looked at Li Zian with a gloomy expression, and reached out to hold his hand.

The warmth from the back of his hand brought Li Zian back to his senses, turned his head to look at Li Hongshen, and wrapped his hand into his palm with his backhand.

"Don't get mad over these little things, it's not worth it."

Hearing this, Li Zian nodded. "I know, this matter is really not thoughtful enough for me, and I won't do this again in the future. It is estimated that the original plan will be changed after such a disturbance, and the carpenters and masons will have to be found again. It's okay I knew a little bit about it before, otherwise it would be really dark."

"Take your time, there is still time anyway."

In fact, if he was not angry, how could Li Zian not be angry.He knew that Brother Li was dull and not good at speaking.But I always know right from wrong in my heart.Since he entered the door, he didn't hear Brother Li's persuasion, obviously he was thinking the same as Mrs. Li.

However, he was even more angry with himself.If he hadn't shaved his head and picked his hair, he wanted to help the eldest brother and the second brother to increase their income, perhaps this incident would not have happened today.However, in the final analysis, the word 'poor' caused trouble...

Thinking of this, Li Zi'an sighed, and definitely must make money in the future.

Originally, Li Zi'an had planned to find someone to decorate the shop by himself, but a few days later, Second Brother Li came over and said that the foreman and Mr. Huang from Brother Li's side readily agreed to come down, and the manpower was almost assembled, Zi Li Seeing this, An stopped thinking about changing people.

Brother Li and Li Zian took people to the shop to have a look around first, then, Li Zian took out the sketches he had drawn and told everyone about his ideas one by one.

Because they are all masters who do the work, Li Zi'an can understand some things that he wants to change.Several people discussed for another two days before finalizing the plan.

The tables, chairs and benches are all custom-made, Li Zi'an is not going to make something too exotic.Measuring the size with Mr. Huang, counting the two and a half shops and the private room at the back, ordered a total of [-] benches, [-] tables, [-] sets of Eight Immortals tables, and [-] armchairs, and then rented them. A carriage sent Mr. Huang back.

Brother Li knew that the construction could start at any time, so he took no. 20 people to the town.I don't know if what I said before had any effect, but before leaving, Mrs. Li finally gave in to Mrs. Li.It's just that there is something in his heart, but in the end, Second Brother Li couldn't hold back and said it to Big Brother Li.

"Brother, I know that my sister-in-law has no evil intentions. She has been filial to her parents for so many years. It's just that sometimes, when she can't figure it out, can you, an old man, not understand? My sister-in-law is not angry. When it's going well, you should be there to persuade me." Erge Li said earnestly.

"We have lived under the same roof for so many years, how can you not know your sister-in-law's temper? I don't know how many times I have persuaded her, what can she do if she doesn't listen to me?" Brother Li spread his hands and said that he didn't either. Method.

Seeing this, Brother Li frowned helplessly. "Then don't mention unnecessary trivial matters in front of her?"

"As a couple live, what can we say and what can't? I don't believe you and Wen Shu's mother will stop chatting?" Brother Li yelled, poking his neck.

Second brother Li knew that he shouldn't talk too much about what happened, but elder brother Li is his own brother, if sister-in-law Li continues to make such a fuss, sooner or later the people in this family will cause her troubles.Even if others don't care about them in the future, once there is a grudge in this heart, it will not be able to make up for it even if they want to make up for it in the future.

"Well, big brother, let me ask you a question. You told my sister-in-law about the little brother's opening of the shop, right?"

"I told her in front of her that such a big matter, I can't hide it even if I don't." Brother Li said.

Hearing this, Second Brother Li nodded.

"Then did you tell her how much money was used to open the shop?" Brother Li finished his sentence, and seeing his eldest brother frowning silently, he knew that his guess was right.

"Brother, let me tell you something that you may not be happy to hear. My sister-in-law has always been very unhappy because her family has provided for her younger brother to study for so many years. Now you are saying these things in front of her again, how could she not want to be wrong?"

"You should understand what's going on at home. It takes such a large amount of capital to open a shop. How can the family pay for it? Besides, my father is still angry because my younger brother dropped out of school. Do you think he will take care of my younger brother's business?" ? Even if mother loves my little brother and wants to give him money, where does she get such a large sum of money to open a shop? Brother, think about it carefully."

Second Brother Li's last words made Brother Li's face burn hot.Because he heard the voice of his second brother's words, if he hadn't revealed the intention that his parents might give money to the younger brother, his wife and daughter-in-law would not be able to make a fuss.But the younger brother has been studying for so many years and has never done any work. This is obvious to all, and they don’t have any rich relatives. The younger brother wants to open such a big shop. His first reaction is that his parents gave it to him. ...

Looking up at his second brother, Li Zifeng knew that he was thinking about it this time, so he nodded and said nothing.

Li Zi'an has arranged all kinds of matters, so he originally thought about inviting his elder brother and second brother to have a meal and chat to express his gratitude.However, the atmosphere between the eldest brother and the second brother was a bit delicate, and the elder brother looked away when he looked at him, thinking that he had a bad fight a few days ago, so he didn't want to do anything more.

But seeing that the eldest brother even avoided the second brother, he guessed what the second brother might have said.So, privately, he dragged the second brother to the backyard under the pretext that there was a problem with the size of the window.

"Second brother, are you having a fight with elder brother?" Li Zi'an looked at his second brother and asked.

Brother Li didn't expect his younger brother to find out so quickly, so he nodded and admitted. "As for what happened a few days ago, I said a few words to him. I guess I was not very happy, so I didn't pay much attention to me.

"Actually, I borrowed the money to open the shop from my classmate. I borrowed about 100 taels of silver. My parents didn't help me with a penny. I thought that after the shop opened, I would not ask for help from outside. We We work together as a family, and at the end of the year, everyone will share a share of the money made by the shop, and when the days are better, the hearts of the people will be united."

Hearing what Li Zian said, Li Ziyang hurriedly interrupted him.

"Don't! I know it's wrong to talk about people behind their backs. But you also know the virtues of my sister-in-law and her natal family. If we are really asked to help, my sister-in-law and her natal family will probably have to use their brains again. And Wen Both Shu and Wenyue are still young. When you really need someone, your second sister-in-law will definitely not be able to spare. I don’t know anything except doing some carpentry chores, so it’s useless to ask us to come. You might as well ask A few honest and reliable people come to help you, and you can relax."

After Mrs. Li made such a fuss, Li Zi'an also became less inclined to ask his family to help.He opened the shop to make money and strive to improve the lives of his family, not to create conflicts.Since the trouble made everyone unhappy, he simply gave up the idea.The family has supported him to study for so many years, and after earning money, he will always return this kind of favor, and Ye Sheng's sister-in-law always keeps it in her heart.

Li Zi'an nodded and agreed with Brother Li's proposal. He was about to speak when he heard footsteps coming from behind. He turned his head and saw Li Hongshen walking towards him with Zhao Yang.

Seeing Li Zian talking to his second brother, Li Hongshen's footsteps paused for a moment and then returned to normal.

"I thought you went back after school. It's a mess here. Be careful not to twist your feet."

Hearing Li Zian's concerned words, Li Hong nodded with a deep smile.Looking sideways at Li Erge who was looking at him, he smiled and nodded at him.

"I'm not as fragile as you think. When I passed by just now, I saw that work had started here. I'll come over to check the situation."

Li Ziyang looked at the other person's extraordinary temperament, and was so familiar with his younger brother, he guessed that the person who opened the shop and lent him money was this classmate.

Thinking that the other party was only a classmate with his younger brother, and he was so relieved to lend such a large amount of money to his younger brother, his goodwill suddenly rose.However, he had nothing to say to these scholars, so Li Ziyang greeted them and continued to work.

Seeing that the second brother was walking away, Li Hongshen boldly walked up to Li Zi'an, reached out and slapped the dust off his shoulders for him, and asked, "I think they work very quickly. The walls in front of the pavement have all been demolished It fell. According to this progress, it is estimated to be fast."

The shop is being refurbished, and the materials needed by the workers need to worry about everything.Li Zi'an got up before dawn, helped him cook and came to the shop.He couldn't go back until it was dark. In just two days, Li Zi'an lost a lot of weight, and his whole body was darkened a lot.Li Hongshen couldn't help feeling distressed, but seeing Li Zi'an's high spirits every day, it was inconvenient for him to say anything.

Li Zian squinted at the shoulder brushed by Li Hongshen, and replied, "Well, the shops in front are probably going to be soon, and these are the few private rooms." After speaking, Li Zian pointed to the A row of houses, "It will take some time to make it more detailed. It is estimated that it will take half a month to complete the work, and then wait for the tables, chairs and benches. It is estimated that it will not work for more than a month."

Li Hongshen was not very proficient in these things, so he nodded when he heard what Li Zian said.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Hongshen thought about Li Zian's hard work these past two days, so he wanted to go back first, and asked the kitchen to help him prepare meals in advance and deliver them to him.Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Zi'an waved his hand and refused.

"Let's wait until I go back to eat, otherwise a group of people are doing their jobs, and what will happen to me eating next to me?" After speaking, Li Zian wiped the sweat off his face, smiled and urged Li Hongshen to go back quickly.

"You go back first, and I'll go back when it gets dark." Seeing Li Hongshen nod obediently, Li Zian looked back and saw that there were no other people around, and quickly pecked Li Hongshen's face, feeling embarrassed at the other party's embarrassment. He said softly in his eyes: "After dinner, take a bath and go to bed and wait for me."
