The ancient life of a master craftsman

"Uncle Yun, you really misunderstood," Li Enbai explained, "I heard Yunli say that you are going to Lijiacun tomorrow..."

Now the old man Yun knew that he had an oolong, but his face changed a lot, "Hey, what do I think, Linfeng, don't mind, I just lost my mind."

Li Enbai couldn't laugh for a moment, but only for a moment, he returned to his natural state, "It's okay, Lizi is still young, uncle really needs to take a good look at it."

"You're so young... the people in the village are as old as him, either already married, or engaged to marry... oh... forget it, let's not talk about it, what do you say? Come?" Old Man Yun sighed inwardly.

"I heard Lizi say, Uncle, you are going to Li's Village tomorrow, are you going to pick up Aunt Bai?" Li Enbai asked again.

Unexpectedly, the old man Yun lowered his face and looked displeased, "Linfeng, this is not something you should care about."

"I know, maybe I'm busy, but Lizi is not happy, I..." Li Enbai tried to express his affection, but Old Man Yun didn't want to listen, and slapped the table angrily.

"Boy Li, this is our Yun family's housework. Don't meddle in it." Old man Yun said with a straight face, refusing to talk about this topic again.

Woke up by the phrase 'housework', yes, what does this have to do with him as an outsider?

Li Enbai had no choice but to step back, "I know, Uncle Yun, Linfeng surpassed."

Yunli finished the meal, but found that the atmosphere was not right, both of them looked unhappy, he looked around, not knowing what was going on, "Father?"

Old Man Yun responded, "Dinner ready? Let's eat."

"En." Hearing his father's deep voice, Yunli didn't dare to ask any more, and brought the food to the table.

Li Enbai didn't want to see him go about his business by himself, so he helped to serve it. When he didn't see him helping, Old Man Yun's face darkened even more.

On the contrary, it was Yunli who noticed at a glance that his father's face was covered with black clouds, and he might explode in the next second. When he and Li Enbai were alone in the kitchen, he couldn't help asking, "Brother Li, you and my father What did you say? My dad seems to be losing his temper."

Li Enbai put on a habitual smile, and subconsciously didn't want Yunli to know about his conversation with old man Yun, "It's nothing, I just said something about my studies."

In Yunli's heart, reading is a very important and sacred thing. When Li Enbai said this, he believed it immediately, "Is there something wrong with Brother Li's reading? Is it serious? Is there a way to solve it?"

"Well, it's okay, it will be fine in a few days." Li Enbai looked the same as usual, and his smile was still gentle and polite.

But Yunli said, "Brother Li, if you don't want to laugh, don't laugh. If you have anything to say, even if I can't help you, I can listen."

Old man Yun called Yunli's voice from outside, and Yunli quickly walked to the main room with three bowls of rice, "Here we come, Dad!"

Li Enbai put away his mask-like smile and stood where he was. The dim light in the kitchen made him look like a person slowly sinking into the darkness. He was thinking, how did Yunli see his disguise?He thought he was pretending well, but he couldn't even hide it from Yunli...

"Brother Li—come and eat!"

Yun Li's energetic voice sounded, and Li Enbai came back to his senses and walked out immediately, with a smile on his face again, no matter what, he was used to smiling, "Here we come."

Under Li Enbai's efforts to ease, after the meal, Old Man Yun's face was not so gloomy and serious, but Li Enbai knew that in Old Man Yun's heart, he was a complete outsider, and he might even be a little wary of him because he was a man. Otherwise, it would not be possible to say that he and Yunli are not suitable.

It was getting late, Li Enbai didn't stay any longer, and went back to the old house.

Yunhe and Mu's will not be back until tomorrow morning, and only old man Yun and Yunli and his son are left in the big yard of Yun's family, which seems a bit too quiet.

Yunli boiled a pot of boiling water, put the washed tamarind in it and scalded half a cup of tea (seven to eight minutes), so that most of the sour taste of the tamarind was removed, but it would not be too soft, and the boiled water also had a slight sour taste. It is very digestible.

"Father, here, eat some sour horn tea." Yunli brought a large bowl of tamarind tea to old man Yun, and he himself sat near old man Yun and drank slowly from the bowl.

Old man Yun put down his pipe, picked up the bowl and drank a large bowl of tamarind tea in two sips, and ate it with chopsticks. Although he was not impatient, he always ate and drank soup very quickly. Having finished drinking a bowl of tea, Yunli just took a sip.

Yunli, who was used to seeing her, drank her portion slowly, thinking to herself, if a little sugar could be added to this tamarind tea, it would taste better if it was sour and sweet.

Old man Yun saw that he had been sitting nearby, drinking a bowl of tamarind tea for a long time, so he knew that this kid had something to tell him, and he was waiting for him to ask.

He sighed, and his tone was a little helpless, "Lizi, daddy asks you, do you have any ideas about getting married?"

Yunli was shocked, "Father, why are you asking such a question suddenly?"

"Lizi, you are also sixteen, and you will be seventeen soon. You have to hurry up and make a decision, otherwise it will be difficult to talk about kissing if you are older." Old man Yun obviously had a plan in mind.

"But... with my current reputation..." Yunli's face also darkened.

It wasn't that he didn't feel sad when he was divorced before, but Chen Yingcai just didn't want him anymore, and his mother also thought he deserved to be divorced, so what can he do as a little brother?

Later, the villagers gossip, he is not ignorant, even every time he hears it, he feels his face burns, and he can't help crying secretly many times, but he still has nothing to do.A little brother has been divorced, and his reputation cannot be good. Without a good reputation, most people would not be willing to engage him.

Moreover, now that Chen Yingcai also said that he wanted to accept him as a junior, who would compete with Master Xiucai?

Yunli lowered her head sadly, he also wants to find a good family, but the person he likes probably won't like him, right?A person appeared in Yunli's mind, the person who made him blush when he first met.

The creases on Old Man Yun's face seemed to increase in an instant. He grabbed the pipe and took a few breaths, his voice full of fatigue, guilt and worry, "Lizi, when your sister-in-law is born, let her stretch it out for you. With our family's conditions, it's not difficult to find a down-to-earth, diligent son-in-law, and our family still has a few acres of land, which is enough for you to live on."

He had already made a plan. When the eldest son got married, he would give half of the family land to the eldest son, and the remaining half would still be written in his name. After the new year, when the younger son got married, he would give the remaining half to the younger son. Son, when the time comes, the old couple will just live with the eldest family.

With the land as a dowry, I am afraid that no poor man is willing.

"Father, it's too early for you to say these things. Besides, I don't know whether I can stay at home until this year. I heard from Brother Qing that my mother took away the money left by Chen Gou, so she told me to let me go every day." I'm going to the Chen family." When Yunli talked about his mother, she was full of complaints, "Father, am I born to my mother?"

The old man Yun knocked him on the head with a stern face, "What nonsense, of course it is your own, you are a premature baby, almost passed away... your mother is just confused, don't get angry with your mother."

Yunli covered the place where she was beaten, and muttered in a low voice, "But whose mother abused her child so badly? I don't want to be a concubine, wouldn't that sell me to the Chen family?"

A concubine, a concubine is similar to a slave to the head of the family, but to the maidservant and servant, the concubine should be considered the master.At the same time, the concubine's rights in the family are also very limited, very humble, and can be exchanged for others.

Which decent woman or brother is willing to be a concubine?When they have their own children in the future, they cannot raise them by themselves, and they must recognize their main wife as their mother.

Yunli couldn't think of what would happen so far away, but he knew that if he went to the Chen family, he would be a cow to the Chen family and would be bullied by the Chen family, and he would not be able to resist.

He doesn't want to!

Now that he looks at Chen Yingcai one more time, he feels nauseous. This kind of white-eyed wolf, he shouldn't be sent to his door to be bullied!

The old man Yun almost broke the pipe in his hand, "Don't worry, you won't be a concubine if you have daddy!"

Yunli complied obediently, and asked his father, "Are you going to take mother home tomorrow? What if mother plays her temper like before and asks father to give money to grandma and aunt before she comes back?"

Old man Yun is feeling very angry now, his good little brother is hardworking and smart, and his looks are not bad, so why did Bai's misfortune become an old brother that no one wants?

Hearing Yunli talk about what she did before, it seemed to add fuel to the fire, "Then let her live here at her mother's house by herself, and don't have to come back!"

"Father, if you say that, it's time for grandma to come forward. It's so embarrassing to talk about father in front of so many people in Lijia Village. In the end, I still have to bring my mother back. Why don't you get scolded and give grandma some money?" , I don’t know if a tael of silver is enough this time? Last time my aunt thought that a tael of silver was too stingy.” Yunli sighed sadly.

The old man Yun was also silent, took two puffs of the dry cigarette, but choked his throat inadvertently, "cough cough! cough cough cough cough!"

Quickly stood up and patted Old Man Yun on the back vigorously, Yunli asked a little nervously, "Father, why are you not careful? Are you okay? Wait, I'll get you a glass of water!"

He picked up the bowl and ran to the kitchen to pour out a bowl of water. His steps were too fast and hurried, and the water in the bowl was shaking and about to spill out. When it was handed to Old Man Yun, a little had already been spilled.

The old man Yun gulped down the water to suppress the cough. He put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, and looked at Yunli, "Lizi, do you have a solution?"

Yunli pretended to be stupid, "What can I do? Dad, what are you talking about?"

"I'm going to pick up your mother tomorrow. If you don't tell me, I won't ask." Old Man Yun paused, "Tell me, what advice did Li Xiaozi give you?"

Yunli chuckled, "This...Brother Li said..."

Old man Yun was a little surprised by his hesitation. He knew that his little brother was not someone who could hide his words. I don't scold you."

"Father, why don't you write a letter of divorce?" Yunli's eyes looked everywhere, but she didn't look at his father, and her voice became smaller and smaller. After picking up my mother, I just issued a letter of divorce, and let grandma and mother want to go..." Under the pressure of old man Yun's gaze, Yunli couldn't continue, she could only show her neat teeth and giggle.
