What I fear most is the sudden silence in the air...
"Dad!" Yan Yu ran over from the Kang, stood in front of Yan Laoer, raised her head and asked him seriously: "Am I Dabao or Xiaoer?"
Yan Laoer blurted out without thinking: "You are my father's eldest child!"
Yan Yu smiled with satisfaction and raised both arms.
Yan Laoer grinned, bent down to pick her up, and put her on the kang.
Standing on the edge of the kang just high enough, Yan Yu took off her father's coat and spread the boards upright to the end of the kang.
Li Xuemei patted the seat next to her, and Yan Laoer took off his shoes and sat on the kang.
Yan Yu pushed aside the account book on the kang table, brought up the small basin with jelly fruits, and pushed it in front of Yan Laoer.
"Dad, you eat."
"This fruit is good. It's hard for you two to eat it." Yan Laoer said, "Dad has eaten it today."
"Let's share it together." Yan Yu went down to the kitchen to find a knife and a bowl. He picked up the knife and put it down, and divided the fruit between the two.
Fortunately, there was a bowl to hold it, otherwise the juice would have been everywhere.
Yan Yu ate the pulp first, and then drank the soup. The cold feeling went down his throat, and most of the heat in his heart was gone.
"Ha--" Yan Laoer and Yan Yu let out a sigh of satisfaction at the same time.
The two men looked at each other and laughed.
"My father, please tell me what you are thinking, and we can go over the details together." Li Xuemei said softly, moving the oil lamp to the side.
At this time, the atmosphere is just right, suitable for talking to each other.
Yan Laoer said cowardly: "I just feel that the eldest brother is short of money, Heng'er also has to take the college entrance examination, and it's time for Da Ya to see each other...
There is a scholar in the family here, and the whole family supports him in studying, and then he has fame and can protect the family...
Why am I not happy that my daughter can make money, but we have not separated our families. According to the customs here, if our parents are here, we dare not have sex or privately use our wealth. We have no parents above us, but the eldest brother is the father...
We have always said that we should adapt to the life here and not do anything inappropriate, just to be the first to win! Our eldest son is smart and capable, he can kill Beirong and hunt wolves, he can do business and build a family, and he is also good at studying.
Her uncle also praised her, and so did her teacher.
I...I'm scared! I don't even have any fame, how can I protect her!" Yan Laoer was so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head.
"The longer I stay in the government office and the longer I stay with the teacher, the more I understand how important it is to have a reputation and an official status. You persuaded me to study in the past, but I was still unwilling. You are too stupid. I should die.
Read, but my brain is really wrong!"
Yan Laoer said with a sad face: "The teacher said that I am lucky to be a scholar before he retires. If I am not lucky, I will be a child for the rest of my life..."
Let me tell you, Tongsheng is not a serious title, it is all nonsense. What a Tongsheng master, he is nothing. He is far from being a scholar...
It is safe for our family to provide it to the eldest brother. Let the eldest brother take the money from our hands. It doesn’t look like it. If the business is handed over to the eldest brother, I will still be in charge. The eldest brother also likes to hand it out, so I guess we can’t lose money.
we……
After I finish the Tongsheng test, I will work hard to make money to patch up my daughter’s hole. Dabao, dad will definitely not wrong you. I will earn it back for you in the future." Yan Laoer burst into tears.
Li Xuemei and Yan Yu looked at each other, neither of them expected that Yan Laoer's heart was so complicated.
Like an onion, peeling off layer after layer.
"Dad, you are very knowledgeable." Yan Yu first gave him recognition for his learning.
Then he let out a long sigh, spread out his little hands and said: "It turns out that all the troubles come from me...so outstanding!"
Li Xuemei said: "There are many smart and promising young people in the world, but we have only one daughter." She did sometimes beat her daughter, but most of the time, she was still a protective mother, and no mother would do otherwise.
I want to see my children shine just by standing there.
"I think the eldest brother likes our Dabao very much." It was also because of this that Li Xuemei relaxed a little.
"Brother is very rare." Yan Laoer affirmed: "Without his control, we would not dare to let my daughter act like a brat outside."
"Dad, don't put too much pressure on me. A child is enough." Yan Yu felt sorry for her father, so she just said, how could her father not love her? He loved her too much, so she was left alone to think about it.
"You see, isn't Uncle Liang just a boy? He can also be a household secretary in the government office. Dad, a household secretary is very good. There are a lot of officials and minors. Painting land and paying taxes are all the work of the household. Where can I let the master go?
When you become an official, I will bring it all with you, and your uncle will be a high official in the future. Dad, don’t worry, we don’t have to do anything, we can win by lying down...
Bamboo slips... just give them to you, it's okay, most of them are from home, I can put them in the shop to piece them together, and then make tofu properly, the same thing, if it's good at home, everything will be fine, I understand this principle.
In fact, thinking about it, our family is doing well now. We don’t lack anything. I like to make money, and I even like to make money with the villagers, count the money, and distribute money to everyone..." Yan Yu's eyes were bright, as if there was something in front of him.
The coins looked like silver, and he gestured with his two little hands: "It's the same when you leave it at home, haha, I'll have to work harder to make my wallet bigger in the future!"
She nodded seriously: "Uncle likes me. If I show more performance in the future, uncle will definitely give me a lot of pocket money, hehe!"
Yan Laoer really can't stand this.
His daughter argued with him, argued with him, or pouted and said she didn't want to...
But the child was so sensible, and a huge sense of guilt hit him hard.
Yan Laoer burst into tears.
While whimpering, he said: "We don't want to be friends with each other anymore. It's all because of dad. Dad is incompetent. Dad is trying to make money to support your uncle. Dad is going to kill Beirong. Dad is going to the mountains to hunt... burp! I
No one will give Dabao’s things to anyone, no more, hiccup!
Dad, study hard and become a household secretary in the future... Hiccup! Open the back door for my daughter... Hiccup!"
Yan Yu went down to fetch water, and Li Xuemei silently handed over a handkerchief.
Yan Laoer rubbed his eyes into a pair of walnuts.
He was still burping and crying: "Dad, go to hell to learn... burp! Go to college and take the exam... burp! Daddy will make more money... burp!"
Li Xuemei soaked the handkerchief and handed it to him again.
Yan Laoer covered his face with a handkerchief and cried, muttering something unknown.
She sighed and said to Yan Yu: "Tomorrow we will go to Huju with your father. Da Ya's marriage is inconvenient for your uncle and your father. It is only right for me as an aunt to come forward. There is also the matter of waiting for the official.
Ask your uncle what he is thinking, hand over the accounts that need to be paid, and don't mention anything in advance."
What I am talking about is the bamboo slips that have not been exposed.
Li Xuemei was always calm, and while she favored her daughter, she also doubted the subjectivity of the information conveyed by Yan Laoer.
Just like Yan Huaiwen said that Da Ya's marriage has not been officially mentioned yet.
Maybe this thing about waiting for an official is just an idea.
