Chapter 122: The Hidden Estrangement Beneath a Peaceful Life

The two sat down and drank tea, and Mingyue got up and said, "I'll help Lan'er cook." ”

After speaking, he went to the kitchen, leaving Li Yun and his uncle alone, hoping that when the two of them were alone, they could open their hearts and talk about their hearts, and they would also solve the knots in their hearts as soon as possible.

It's just that Mingyue finally underestimated the influence of this incident on Shopkeeper Li, and after Mingyue left, Shopkeeper Li got up and went to the shop outside, without any intention of communicating with Li Yunduo.

After Mingyue and Li Lan cooked dinner, Mingyue came out with a plate of dishes, and saw Li Yun sitting on the edge of the stone table with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

Mingyue passed, put down the dish in her hand on the table, and asked Li Yun, "Uncle?" ”

Li Yun raised his head and responded, "I'm going to look at the shop outside." Then he stood up and followed Mingyue into the kitchen to help serve the food.

Seeing that the relationship between the uncle and nephew had made no progress, Mingyue had to sigh in her heart, it seemed that she was too anxious and had to take her time.

During the meal, Li Lan, who was still careful, noticed that something was wrong for the first time, and kept staring at Li Yun, and finally couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother, is there something on your face, how can I feel that something is wrong the more I look at it?" ”

The rice that Mingyue had just fed into her mouth almost squirted out, but she tried to hold back but accidentally choked the rice into her trachea, her face was flushed with coughing, and a suspicious flush appeared on Li Yun's ears.

Seeing that Mingyue was out of breath, Li Yun raised his arm behind Mingyue and patted Mingyue on the back to smooth Mingyue's breath.

Wu Wei, Shopkeeper Li, and Li Lan have all focused their eyes on Li Yun's face.

Li Lan looked at the reactions of the two and guessed, "Brother, you won't wipe it on purpose, right?" ”

Mingyue finally stopped coughing and said, "It's deliberately smeared, your brother was tired of being stared at when he went out yesterday, and he touched a handful of pot bottom ash and smeared it on his face early this morning." ”

Listening to Mingyue's words, Li Lan and Wu Wei laughed breathlessly, and even the shopkeeper Li was full of smiles.

Li Yun's always calm face finally showed a hint of cracking, and he looked at Mingyue with a slightly dark face, "Didn't you ask me to wipe it yesterday." ”

Mingyue spread her hands, "I'm just talking casually." ”

At the dinner table, because of this episode, the originally dull atmosphere unexpectedly became more lively.

After having lunch at Li Kee's dry goods store, the two of them said goodbye, after all, they still had business to do.

The two went directly to Pan's butcher's house, the pork stall outside was not placed, and when they entered the backyard, they watched Pan's butcher sitting in the yard drinking tea, his forehead was still full of sweat.

When Pan Butcher saw the two of them coming in, he greeted with a smile, "You guys came in time, but I just arrived home, you guys are here, come and sit down." ”

beckoned the two to sit down opposite him, and raised his hand to pour a cup of tea for each of them.

Mingyue sat down on the stone bench and said with a smile, "Uncle Pan has worked hard, how is it?" Is it selling well? ”

Hearing Mingyue ask, Pan Butcher's face smiled, "Sure enough, it is rare and expensive, I just entered the city and shouted, which was full of people, I heard me send the meat to Xingsheng Restaurant, those people actually followed to Xingsheng Restaurant, saying that they had never eaten this tiger meat in their lives, and they must try it, this is not too many, Xingsheng Restaurant was afraid that I would sell it to other families, and those guests followed, so they generously opened a good price, guess what, how many taels of silver did they offer?" ”

Mingyue replied with a smile, "Uncle Pan, don't sell it." ”

Pan Butcher stretched out five fingers in front of the two of them, and said with a red face, "Five hundred taels, during this time, these restaurants have kept the price of game down and can't be lower, and the price of this tiger meat is actually five hundred taels, but I'm not so easy to fool, I just asked them for an extra fifty taels before selling it." ”

As he spoke, Pan Butcher had already taken out a few silver tickets from his arms, and then took out five ingots of silver, put them in front of Mingyue and Li Yun on the stone table, and continued, "It's all here, but it's ready." ”

Mingyue pushed five of the ingots of cash silver in front of Pan Butcher, and said with a smile, "After saying that business is business, Uncle Pan has not forgotten, these fifty taels should be Uncle Pan's commission." ”

Pan Butcher pushed the cash back in front of Mingyue and said, "It's not easy for you to live now, keep all the silver, buy a house and some land, live a good life, don't live on that Daliang Mountain, it's too dangerous." ”

Mingyue took the five silver tickets and handed them to Li Yun, signaling Li Yun to put them away, but the other cash did not move, and said to the Pan butcher, "What Uncle Pan said, we will consider it, but this yard is one yard, Uncle Pan has been helping for a long time, and we still have to take what we should take, otherwise we won't dare to come to Uncle Pan in the future." ”

At this time, Pan Butcher's daughter-in-law Wu appeared at the right time, came out of the house, just listened to Mingyue's words, and then saw the silver ingots on the table, her eyes were shining, and she stepped forward with a smile and picked up the silver on the table unceremoniously, and said in her mouth, "You have been busy working since yesterday afternoon and came back at noon today, and the family business has not been done today, and people will take it for you, and the conditions at home are not very good, so don't be a good person, big sister, do you say yes?" ”

Being stirred up by the Wu family like this, Pan Butcher felt a little unbearable on his face, and said angrily, "You faceless mother-in-law, don't hurry up and put down the silver." ”

Mingyue was afraid that a war would break out between the two because of this matter, otherwise it would be difficult to continue to cooperate with Pan Butcher in the future, so she hurriedly spoke up, "Uncle Pan, just let my aunt take it, don't we still have five hundred taels, if you don't want to, we really won't dare to trouble Uncle Pan in the future." ”

Listening to Mingyue's words, Wu nodded with satisfaction, "What the eldest sister said is right, what are you fierce with me." ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Mingyue hurriedly got up and said, "It's not too early, let's leave first." ”

Pan Butcher was finally distracted by Mingyue's words, looked at the two and said, "Let's leave after lunch." ”

The Wu family on the side was happy to get the silver, but he enthusiastically kept it with Pan Butcher, "That is, after lunch, I will go to cook, hey, this little minister is really handsome, and the eldest sister is really blessed." ”

Mingyue really admired the aunt in front of her, she and Li Yun were ready to leave, did this aunt actually notice Li Yun? It seems that it is because silver is more attractive.

Thinking wildly in her heart, Mingyue said with an appropriate smile on her face, "We came here after eating at my uncle's house, so we can't eat it." ”

Hearing Mingyue's words, Pan Butcher smiled and said, "That's good, that's good." "Before, because of their affairs, he also deliberately went to find a shopkeeper Li, and it seems that Shopkeeper Li still listened to his words.

Wu on the side listened to Mingyue's words, and unceremoniously opened his mouth to send off the guest, "Then I won't stay, you go slowly." ”

The corners of Mingyue's eyes twitched slightly, and she quickly stood up, pulled Li Yun to say goodbye to Pan Butcher, and went out to leave.

After going out, the two went to the market twice and bought some vegetables before walking back.

Thinking of the five hundred taels of silver he was carrying in his arms, on the way back, Li Yun then asked, "These silver should be enough to buy a small house and a piece of land at the bottom of the mountain, should we take a look in the surrounding villages?" ”

Mingyue was silent for a while before she said, "Have you ever farmed?" ”

Li Yun shook his head, he really hadn't planted before, so Mingyue, who listened to it, continued, "I don't know much about farming, you said that if we farm, can we grow crops?" ”

Li Yun thought about it, Mingyue said a problem, and then asked, "Then what do you want to do?" ”

Mingyue fell silent, what did she want to do? After thinking about it, I finally had an idea, "I want to open a hospital." ”

Li Yun searched carefully in his mind for a while, but he never remembered what the hospital was, and finally had to ask Mingyue, "What is the hospital?" ”

Mingyue said excitedly, "A place to cure diseases and save people." At the same time, I was thinking about this in my heart, maybe I could have a good chat with Lin Xiao after I went back, and let him join the gang to open a hospital together.

Li Yun listened to Mingyue's words and said, "Isn't that a medical hall?" ”

Mingyue smiled and said, "It's not good, the hospital is better than the medical hall, and I'm going to open a big chain hospital." ”

Li Yun looked at the bright light shining in Mingyue's eyes, which was particularly dazzling, so he nodded and responded, "Okay, just open the hospital." ”

Mingyue sighed, "But it's not now to open a hospital, with the little money we have on hand, we still can't open a hospital, let's keep it for now, and then save more money before opening a hospital." ”

Li Yun said suspiciously, "Isn't it possible to make money by opening a medical center?" ”

Mingyue shook her head, "I opened a hospital, not to make money, because I have always felt that as a doctor's belief, it should be to save lives and help the wounded, so the hospital I want to open is a hospital for everyone, regardless of wealth and poverty, all can be treated." ”

Li Yun looked at Mingyue and was very surprised that a little woman would have such a sense of responsibility for the world, although it was only for patients in the world, so looking at the petite woman in front of her, it seemed that she had become even taller.

After Mingyue finished speaking, she didn't wait for Li Yun to react, turned her head to look at the side, and found that Li Yun had been staring at herself, Mingyue touched her nose uncomfortably, and asked, "What are you looking at me like this?" ”

Li Yun showed a smile on his face and responded, "Just take a look." ”

Mingyue was dazzled by Li Yun's smile in the sun, kicked the stone on the ground, and almost fell, but was still supported by Li Yun in time to stand firm, Mingyue came back to her senses, walked seriously, and complained in her mouth, "It's better that you don't smile as before, this laugh is too demonic, and I can walk distractedly." ”

Listening to Mingyue's complaints, Li Yun had no choice but to follow Mingyue's answer, "Then don't laugh anymore." The hand holding Mingyue did not let go.

Listening to Li Yun's answer, Mingyue said with some dissatisfaction, "But I still like to see you laugh, forget it, let's smile more in the future." ”

Li Yun didn't answer again this time, he used to read in the book that women are fickle, and he didn't understand how women are fickle, but now he has experienced it, it turns out that women are so fickle.

The two walked and chatted about what they wanted to do in the future, but they had a tacit understanding and did not mention what the future of the two would be, in Mingyue's opinion, Li Yun would eventually leave herself to realize her ideals and ambitions, and Li Yun believed that Mingyue's goal had been achieved, would she eventually leave herself and live her own life.

There is such a gap between the two people that no one wants to break through, and they are all afraid, afraid that when they say it, it will be when the other party leaves.
