Chapter 2 Elder Brother’s Instructions

It was already evening when we returned to the village.

In the past, he probably wouldn't have come back so quickly.

After all, there is no guarantee that there will be no work to do at night.

As long as you wait somewhere by the pipeline, you will always encounter the evening work once or twice.

But since I had an appointment with a little Loli named Tian today, I came back a little early and didn't go back later.

"Um?"

Just after returning home and entering 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.

Shui Yan is used to it.

The state of Qi has fine meat, but it does not belong to him.

Shui Yan understood this truth from the time he was born.

Fortunately.

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

"came back?"

At this moment, it seemed that a sound had just been heard, and Shi walked out of the room.

Just as Mr. Xiao 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, they are her own flesh and blood.

Although the eldest son Shui Shou is a bit dull and honest, he is no different from ordinary people. Now he has joined the army and will have a livelihood in the future.

Only the youngest son, Shui Yan, has been bullied since he was a child because he was thin, but he never cries or makes trouble, and is even worried about her being sad. Many times he is bullied outside, and when he comes home he is told that he fell down.

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

She didn't know how long she knew Shui Yan was being bullied and didn't cry. The moment she saw Shui Yan tell her that he had fallen, her heart felt as if it was being grabbed, and she could no longer control her tears.

Mr. Shi often lamented, how many children are there who are so sensible?

"mother!"

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

"Where's dad?"

Shui Yan asked.

Normally, my father would be at home at this time, but now I only see my mother.

"Your father is going to Linzi City today to buy some clothes for the family."

Mr. Ji was wrapped in cloth and did not dislike the smell of Shui Yan at all.

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

"Your brother received his annual salary today and asked someone to bring it back. He specifically asked him to buy some clothes for you."

Shi said. Looking at Shui Yan, his eyes were full of smiles.

Although Shui Shou is dull, he is particularly concerned about his younger brother Shui Yan.

The relationship between these two brothers.

He has made her feel very at ease since she was little, unlike Shui Yan's father and Shui Yan's uncle.

"Mom, my brother doesn't have a wife yet!"

After listening to his mother's words, Shui Yan felt warm and couldn't help but say something.

The eldest brother Shui Shou is three years older than him and is now seventeen. If he were placed in a wealthy family, he would probably have three or four wives.

I finally got enough salary to join the army.

Not only did he take it all home to make up for it, but the remaining bit was used to buy him clothes.

When will my brother find a wife?

In Qi State, few people are willing to marry their daughter to a man who has nothing.

"You child! Your brother and your marriage have been kept by me and your father for you two!"

Shi's smiling eyes were full of blame.

It seems to be saying that Shui Yan is worrying blindly, and it also seems to be saying that Shui Yan doesn't understand and pretends to understand.

After all, in Shi's eyes, Shui Yan is only fourteen years old.

At this time, he was not worried about his wife's age, but he began to urge his brother to ask for a wife.

He also didn't want to think about it, when his father married her, he was already twenty-five.

"Mom, are there any girls from that family within ten miles?"

Shui Yan couldn't help but mutter while eating.

But before he finished speaking, he saw his mother's piercing eyes. Shui Yan quickly stopped talking and put on a flattering smile.

But Shui Yan didn't know that at this time.

At this time, Mrs. Xiao was more worried about him than her brother.

After all, Shui Shou has already joined the army, and now that he has a salary, it will not be difficult to find a wife in the future.

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

And now this job has left Shui Yan's body with a strong corpse smell all year round.

Shui Shou is poor, but 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!

Seeing Shui Yan in front of her who was not worried about her at all, Mrs. Xiao could not help but blame her mother in her heart.

"Mom! You really shouldn't have said that Yan'er would become a general in the future."

Sighing in his heart, Xiao smiled bitterly.

If Shui Yan's grandmother is so strong, the villagers and people in other places, not to mention Shuicun, are secretly laughing at Shui Yan's grandmother.

But by accident.

It seems that the silly boy in front of me believes it!

Inside the wooden house.

Not long after Shui Yan finished eating.

Yan's father also returned home after a long journey, and the bag behind him obviously contained a lot of things.

"father!"

Upon seeing this, Shui Yan, who was chatting and laughing with his mother, quickly stepped forward to help.

Apparently Yan's father also smelled the strong corpse odor coming from Shui Yan's body.

"Did we encounter a rotting corpse again today?"

Yanfu asked.

Although the younger son often works with corpses, the stench of corpses is not always so suffocating. Only when he encounters rotting corpses will he be exposed to the corpse stench that will take several days to dissipate.

"Um!"

Shui Yan nodded.

Then Shui Yan, who was keen, heard his father's inadvertent sigh again.

But Shui Yan didn't say anything.

At first he couldn't help but gag when he smelled the smell of rotting corpses, but now he has gotten used to it.

As the father and son put down their things and opened the sack, in addition to what they needed at home, a bundle of relatively rough rolled cloth came into view.

Even though the fabric is very rough, its price is still a big burden for ordinary people.

After all, ordinary people don’t have much money left to spend when they go out to spend money at home.

"Why so many things?"

After taking the cloth handed over by Yan's father, Mrs. Xiao asked doubtfully.

Look at the things on the ground.

Obviously it exceeded expectations, and many of them were items that the family should not buy.
