Self-cultivation of male support

Shi Yan is a man of action, and he thought that soon, Liu Xiucai would block his uncle's door with his old face on the side of Liu's house, threatening to kneel down to his uncle, and begging his son-in-law to lend some money to their family. Take it to save the little girl's life.

Immediately, he will follow his cousin Yun Shiliang to his uncle's house.

He Dashan became anxious when he heard it, and stopped him: "A Yan, the doctor said you need to rest, your health is not yet well, stay at home well, after a while, father will accompany you wherever you want to go, now your mother will wait a while If I can't see you, I'll be running around in a hurry!"

Shi Yan thought for a while, and said to his father, He Dashan: "Actually, you have to make up your mind on this matter, father, you can go to uncle's house with me!"

When He Dashan came back to his senses, he was already sitting at his brother-in-law's house, and he heard his son's tone firm and reasonable, saying to his brother-in-law: "Uncle, that's how things are, I'm not good at reading. Points, grit your teeth, it's best to be able to pass the exam as a scholar.

You can't keep procrastinating, you have to plan for the future.

I thought that there was a chance that the shop next door to our house would sell out, buy it directly, and open a breakfast shop for my parents. Everyone in the street knows my mother's handicrafts, and I will definitely not worry about customers, but I always set up a stall outside. It's okay in summer, but it's really hard in winter.

You know what our family has, and it's not enough to take it all out. I want to borrow some money from you first, and we will pay it back slowly when the shop is moved. "

The uncle was very happy, and said to Shi Yan: "You are a conscientious person who thinks about your parents like this. I said earlier that it is better to set up a storefront than to spend all day in the sun when your parents have money in their hands." It's good to hang out in the sun, but your parents said in a daze that they would save the money for you to study and marry a wife.

Uncle is very happy to hear you say that now. "

Shi Yan immediately told the price he had inquired about, how much money he had, how much was left behind, how much money he had to set aside to open a store, buy tables, chairs, stools, pots and pans, how much he needed to borrow, when to pay it back, how much he would pay at a time, He said everything clearly, and in front of several people, he wrote an IOU and handed it to his uncle.

Uncle Yunfeng watched Shi Yan's appearance, happily patted Shi Yan's shoulder, and staggered Shi Yan's small body: "Good boy, you are so thoughtful, you are a good guy for doing things!"

He Dashan was not given a chance to refuse during the whole process, so the uncle and nephew handled the matter properly.

On the way home, He Dashan carefully guarded Shi Yan, a tall and mighty man who seemed aggrieved

, His face was full of worries: "Your uncle's family is not rich, your aunt wants to help Mrs. Liu secretly, otherwise the old lady will starve to death in that family.

Besides, your cousin Shixiu is eight years old this year, and the dowry needs to be prepared early. If we borrow so much in one breath, their family may have a hard time. "

Shi Yan's face was still a little pale, and his face was very calm: "No."

He knew in his heart that his uncle was not the kind of person who would charge fees indiscriminately on the street. He had a good reputation in this area, and his aunt's source of income was limited. It was actually easy to calculate how much savings the family had.

Shi Yan got stuck and left enough money for his uncle's family to live on for a few months. At that time, even if that bad old man of the Liu family blocked the door and lent their family money for the sake of reputation, it would be no more than a few hundred dollars at most. Many, of course not.

When meeting acquaintances along the way, it is inevitable that they will ask: "Dashan is visiting my brother-in-law's house?"

Shi Yan replied obediently for his father: "No, our family plans to set up a shop as a breakfast shop, and the family does not have enough money, so we borrowed money from my uncle's house."

Shi Yan showed a very grateful expression: "Uncle lent most of the family wealth to my father, and kept a few months of copper coins to buy rice for himself. He is really a good man. I will definitely repay him well in the future!"

The two walked out of the alley, and almost everyone in the alley knew that Yunfeng collected money from the family and subsidized his younger sister and brother-in-law, so it might be a problem for the family to eat.

When the father and son returned home, Yue Niang knew what great things the two had done, she pointed at their noses and talked about it for a long time, but she hadn't learned how to swear in most of her life, she kept repeating those few words.

Father and son, one tall and one short, stood in front of Yue Niang obediently let her scold them.

Passers-by saw this scene through the wide open door, and covered their mouths and laughed, and some people teased Yue Niang: "What did Brother Dashan do to make my wife reprimand you like this?"

When Yue Niang heard this, she couldn't hold back her face, and couldn't hold back a chuckle.

Only then did He Dashan turn around and close the gate, dragged Yueniang to sit in the courtyard, and explained to her in a low voice: "I used to say that you do some light work at home, and I go up the mountain to hunt some raptors in winter, so be careful. Nothing will happen, our family will definitely be able to live on, and I will slowly save money for Ah Yan's study.

Neither you nor your brother-in-law agree.

But you have a strong temper and can't stay at home.When I don't know, have you been greedy for other people's shops for a long time?Ah Yan can take the initiative to speak up today, and be considerate of your mother, I am very happy.child long

When I grow up, I know it hurts. "

Yue Niang glared at He Dashan: "It is said that you are dull-tempered, but I see you are very eloquent."

There is still some hesitation on the face.

Shi Yan said directly: "Mother, I have borrowed all the money. Before I entered the door, I had already made an agreement with the owner of the shop and gave him a deposit of two taels. It's too late for you to think about it."

Not only Yue Niang was shocked, but He Dashan was also dumbfounded.

"A Yan, when did you give the deposit to Boss Wang, why didn't I know?"

Shi Yan said calmly: "Just now, father, when you were thinking hard about what reason to use to persuade my mother, I talked to Boss Wang by the way."

Shi Yan took out a piece of paper full of characters from his cuff and handed it to He Dashan: "Here is the receipt, please keep it."

He Dashan: "..."

Now the husband and wife don't have to think about it.

They are all action-oriented, turned around and went out, went straight to Boss Wang's shop, went to measure the size, asked a carpenter to order tables, chairs, and plaques, and discussed with Boss Wang about going to the Yamen to transfer ownership.

After the busy schedule, Yue Niang still went to the street every morning to sell breakfast food, and He Dashan got up in the middle of the night, and the couple prepared bread and buns and porridge together.Busy with no time to rest.

Shi Yan occasionally helped the two of them, but was treated as a fragile object by the two of them, and they persuaded him to go back with a straight face and refused to do anything. The only requirement for him is to take good care of him at home.

Ten days later, Shi Yan's complexion improved day by day, and the preparations for the opening of the breakfast shop were almost done, and Aunt Liu came over to help Yue Niang with work again.

The two used a sieve to sieve rice in the yard. The rice at this time generally refers to yellow rice, that is, the rice that is ground from hard millet. The porridge has a strong rice fragrance, which is very popular with the local people. In my family, I have to drink such a hot bowl every morning to feel comfortable all day long.

I heard my aunt shaking the sieve in her hand vigorously and regularly, while complaining to Yue Niang: "Hey, my father's old stuff is really getting too much. It blocked my door yesterday, and all the neighbors are there. In front of the big guy In front of his son, he said that he would kneel down to his husband, and begged him to lend him money, and he wanted to see a doctor for Liu Yunhan.

Don't talk about whether he will kneel down, it's just that he yelled out, no matter how much he looked down on Xianggong in the past, and how bad his relationship with him was, his reputation is pretty bad.

I was really going to die of anger at that time, if he wasn't my own father, I would have been punished by the Yamen for kicking him out with a big stick, I could have gone down and beat him to death with a stick! "

Although Liu was angry,

But in the end, there was a look of rejoicing on his face: "Fortunately, my husband lent you all the money. The neighbors and neighbors heard about it. After everyone's persuasion, I finally sent him away with a few copper coins, otherwise , Our family is afraid that there will be no peace forever!"

Yue Niang was puzzled: "Is that girl Liu Yunhan seriously ill?"

Mrs. Liu snorted coldly: "Who knows? It's a disease of riches and honor. You can't be tired or angry. You can stay in the house all day and do whatever you want. The whole family coaxes her to make her happy, and it's fine if she wants to. If one doesn't go well, he coughs a few times, can't breathe, and is about to faint!

The medicine I take all day long makes my heart tremble when I hear it. They are all ginseng and deer antler, good things for nourishing qi and blood. Anyway, I have never been so expensive in my life! "

Yue Niang was speechless.

Yue Niang and sister-in-law get along well, otherwise, it would be impossible for the Liu family to find time to help out every day because they are worried that they will be too busy after borrowing most of Yue Niang's family fortune.

So he said firmly: "Sister-in-law, this money cannot be borrowed. If Liu Xiucai treats you well on weekdays, we will borrow it for his sake, but we know how he treats you, mother and son.

Even at my elder brother's place, he often picks up elder brother when he is patrolling outside, and in the public, says something that makes elder brother not come down. You and your wife were pointed out by the neighbors a few years ago because of Liu Xiucai, and your life is going well. How difficult!

This money must not be borrowed, that family is a bottomless pit!Just look at how big brother has been dragged down by that family and you will know! "

Mrs. Liu and Liu Dalang, the elder brother in front of her, are both descendants of Mrs. Liu. Liu Dalang has a simple and honest personality. He is 29 years old and is sandwiched between his parents. In the past few years, he has started to have gray hair.

Shi Yan folded his hands in his sleeves, squinted his eyes and sat on the porch, listening to the salsa sound of rice in the sieve, listening to the two women's gossip, and felt that the development of the matter satisfied him.

I heard my aunt Liu said bitterly: "My elder brother is honest, even if he doesn't like his dead appearance, he is not less filial than a son of man. My family saves food and money just to take care of me. Damn how much.

Unexpectedly, before the end of the year before last, that old thing threatened my elder brother, asking my elder brother to give him ten taels of silver, saying that he would use it to buy silver hairpins, rouge powder, silk and satin fabrics for Liu Yunhan, and said that it was from someone else's house. At this age, a girl has to dress up well, and his daughter is also indispensable!

I bother!That litter is full of rotten hearts, there is no good thing, I hate it so much that my heart aches

Now!

Apart from studying, the eldest brother can spend less than ten taels a year on the rest of the family, so why should he? "

Yue Niang knew about this, and Shi Yan also knew about it. At that time, Liu Dalang refused, but Liu Xiucai said bluntly: "If you don't give it, father will go to the Yamen to sue you for disobedience and disobedience. In the future, you will never go on the road of imperial examinations." Already!"

Liu Dalang fainted on the spot, but in the end he was still a master of the academy, he really felt sorry for Liu Dalang, loved his character, and offered him ten taels of silver in private.

Thinking of this, Shi Yan raised his eyelids lightly, looked into the courtyard, and saw Yue Niang patted Liu Shi's hand, and comforted softly: "I saw Liu Xiucai on the street last time. She doesn't look very healthy, she must have been hollowed out by wine and sex.

Sister-in-law, please bear with me, I don't think he is a long-lived man, if you boil him to death, you and Mrs. Liu will be fine. "

Liu's face was full of approval and hope: "I hope so, God bless my wishes come true!"

After finishing speaking, the two women quickly looked in the direction of Shi Yan under the eaves. Seeing that Shi Yan had his eyes closed, as if he was asleep, he let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

Shi Yan, who had a panoramic view of the small movements of the two of them: "..."

Sure enough, women have two faces.
