Chapter 2: The Eldest Brother's Entrustment

Back in the village, it was already evening.

In the past, it is likely that he would not have come back so soon.

After all, at night, not necessarily, there is no work to do.

As long as you wait somewhere by the pipe, there will always be one or two times when you will run into the work of the night.

But because I had an appointment with Xiao Lori surnamed Tian today, I came back a little early, and I didn't go again.

"Huh?"

As soon as he went home and entered the house, Shui Yan saw dinner placed in front of the wooden seat.

Said it was dinner.

But it's just some wild vegetable paste mixed with some cooked rice millet.

Shui Yan is used to it.

The Qi State has high-quality meat, but those don't belong to him.

From the time he was born, Shui Yan understood this truth.

Thankfully.

Only when my grandmother came over occasionally, she felt sorry for his grandson, and would secretly bring him something delicious every time.

"Coming back?"

At this moment, it seemed that a sound was heard, and Xiao Shi walked out of the room.

As soon as he finished speaking, he smelled a foul smell.

Looking at Shui Yan, Xiao's young, but slightly wrinkled cheeks showed a touch of distress.

After all, it's her own flesh and blood.

Although the eldest son Shui Shou is a little honest, he is no different from ordinary people, and now he is enlisted in the army and has a livelihood in the future.

Only this youngest son, Shui Yan, has been bullied since he was a child because of his thinness, but he never cried or made trouble, and even worried that she would be sad, and many times he was bullied outside, and when he came home, he said that he had fallen.

Have you ever seen a five or six-year-old child with footprints on his face after falling?

I don't know how many times, knowing that Shui Yan was being bullied, she didn't cry, and at the moment when she saw Shui Yan and said to her that she fell. My heart felt as uncomfortable as being caught, and I couldn't control my tears anymore.

Xiao often sighs, how many children are so sensible?

"Mother!"

Shui Yan's mouth was full of dinner, and he looked at his mother and nodded, with a smile on his face.

"Where's Daddy?"

Shui Yan asked.

Usually at this time, my father should also be at home, why do I only see my mother now.

"Your father went to Linzi City today to add some clothes to the house."

Xiao Shi was wrapped in cloth clothes, and he didn't dislike the smell of Shui Yan's body in the slightest.

Looking at Shui Yan, who had not eaten anything at all during the day except for breakfast in the morning, a smile appeared on Xiao's face.

"Your brother received the New Year's Allowance today, and asked someone to bring it back, and specially instructed him to buy you some clothes."

Xiao said. Looking at Shui Yan's eyes, there was a smile.

Although Shui Shou is wooden, he is particularly concerned about Shui Yan's younger brother.

The relationship between the two brothers.

Since she was a child, she has been very relieved, and she is not like Shui Yan's father and Shui Yan's uncle.

"Mother, my brother doesn't have a daughter-in-law yet!"

Shui Yan listened to her mother's words, and her heart warmed, and she couldn't help but say a word.

The eldest brother Shui Shou is three years older than him, and now he is seventeen, if he is placed in a powerful family, his daughter-in-law is estimated to have three or four.

I finally enlisted in the army, and I was a bit old.

All of them were made up for at home, and the only ones left were bought for him.

When will he be able to get a daughter-in-law?

In the country of Qi, there are few people who are willing to marry their daughters to a man who has nothing.

"You kid! Your brother's marriage to you, my father and I will save it for both of you! ”

Xiao's smiling eyes were full of blame.

It seems to be saying that Shui Yan is worrying, and it seems to be saying that Shui Yan doesn't know how to pretend to understand.

After all, in the eyes of the Xiao family, Shui Yan was only fourteen years old.

At this age, he was not in a hurry to worry about his daughter-in-law, but he began to urge his brother to ask for his daughter-in-law.

I don't want to think about it, when his father married her, he was twenty-five.

"Mother, is there a female ...... within a radius of ten miles?"

Shui Yan ate and couldn't help muttering.

It's just that before he finished speaking, he saw his mother's straight eyes, Shui Yan hurriedly stopped his voice and pretended to be a flattering smile.

But Shui Yan didn't know at this time.

At this time, the Xiao family was more worried about him than his brother.

After all, Shui Shou has already enlisted in the army, and now that he has a new year, it is not difficult to ask for a daughter-in-law in the future.

But Shui Yan is different, his physique is already a little thin in the eyes of his peers, and it is obviously hopeless to enlist in the army.

And now this work has made Shui Yan's body stained with a strong smell of corpses all year round.

Shui Shou is poor, and there is still a future.

But there is that woman, who is willing to follow Shui Yan and smell the smell of corpses all day long!

Looking at Shui Yan, who was not worried about himself at all, Xiao couldn't help but blame his mother in his heart.

"Mother! At the beginning, you really shouldn't have said that Yan'er would be a general in the future. ”

With a sigh in his heart, Xiao smiled bitterly.

Shui Yan's grandmother is so strong, not to mention Shui Village, even the villagers in other places are secretly laughing at Shui Yan's grandmother.

But on the contrary.

It seems that this stupid boy in front of him believes it!

Inside the wooden house.

Not long after Shui Yan finished eating.

Yan's father also returned home in the dust, and the cloth bag behind him obviously contained a lot of things.

"Daddy!"

Seeing this, Shui Yan, who was talking and laughing with his mother, hurriedly stepped forward to help.

And Yan's father obviously also smelled a strong smell of corpses coming from Shui Yan's body.

"Did you run into a carrion today?"

Yan's father asked.

Although the youngest son often spends time with corpses, the smell of corpses is not always as smoky as this, and only when he encounters a rotting corpse will he be stained with this corpse smell that will dissipate for several days.

"Hmm!"

Shui Yan nodded.

Then the keen Shui Yan heard his father's inadvertent sigh again.

But Shui Yan didn't say it.

At first, he couldn't help but gag when he smelled the carrion, but now, he is used to it.

As the father and son put down their things and opened the sack, a bundle of coarse rolled cloth came into view, except for what was needed at home.

Don't look at the fabric is very rough, but its price is still a big burden for ordinary people.

After all, when you go out to spend money at home, ordinary people don't have much money left to be able to spend money.

"Why are there so many things?"

After taking the fabric handed over by Yan's father, Xiao asked suspiciously.

Look at what's on the ground.

Apparently exceeded expectations, and many of them should not be bought at home.

"Tomorrow is Dad's birthday, our family needs to go to celebrate his birthday!"

When Yan's father said this, his gaze at his wife Xiao was a little evasive and a little empty.

After all, he knew how much resentment his wife had in her heart towards her father and two brothers.

Inside the wooden house.

As Yan's father's words fell, quietly.

Whether it was Shui Yan or Xiao Shi, they didn't say a word at the moment.

Both mother and son can hear the helplessness in their father's words.

Shui Yan looked at her mother, with some worry in her eyes.

"Good!"

Under Shui Yan's gaze, Xiao Shi said lightly, then turned around and walked back to the room.

In an instant.

Only Yan Father and Shui Yan glanced at each other in the room.

Both father and son knew in their hearts that since five years ago, when the family had not yet separated, the uncle took advantage of his mother's absence and stole the relics that his grandfather gave his mother to exchange for money.

After my mother found out, I didn't expect my grandfather to favor my uncle, and I obviously smelled the uncle's wine, but I opened my eyes and said nonsense.

On the other hand, he pointed to his mother's ignorance.

The uncle is a student, and the drinking between the students is a celebrity talk, how can you blame the uncle for spending all day drinking.

Think back to that incident.

Today's Shui Yandu still remembers the scene when his grandfather, grandmother and uncle's family all blamed their mothers.

It was from that time that my father, who had been working hard, decided to split up.

And the mother.

I'm afraid that in this life, I will not forgive my grandfather's family.
