Chapter 23 Going to Uncle's House

"Silang, when you go to your uncle's house, you must be polite and know the rules. When you see your uncle, your aunt must behave and say hello. Do you understand?"

Yang repeatedly warned him, fearing that he would not understand the rules when he went to his uncle's house for the first time and make his uncle angry.

This shows how deep the relationship between Mr. Yang and his uncle was. He was afraid that he would anger his uncle, so he kept reminding him, which almost drove him crazy.

Since last night, she has been instilling in him that he should know the rules, be polite, and listen to his uncle's words. She can keep repeating these few words.

"I know." Ling Yun curled his lips and said reluctantly with an indifferent expression.

"You kid, mother is talking to you? Why are you ignoring me? Seriously, do you remember what mother told you?" Seeing Ling Yun's indifferent expression, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Mom, I remember. You almost made my ears tingle with your words. Your son, I have a good memory. Even my husband praised me for my good memory. Just relax!"

Ling Yun spread his hands helplessly, facing a dilemma.

"Yes, our Shiro is smart and will definitely be liked. Then remember to be careful on the road and pay attention to safety."

Yang's chair leaned against the door and watched them go out. Unexpectedly, a five-year-old baby ran out from inside and cried loudly.

"Be good, don't cry, don't cry. Brother will go away for a while and come back in the evening. When brother comes back in the evening, I will bring you something delicious, okay?"

Although she was extremely reluctant to hear her mother's words, looking at the five children in her arms, she cried heartbrokenly.

The penetrating cry, the tears as big as broken beads, the red and swollen eyes, were watery and endearing.

As soon as he heard Ling Yun say that he would go away for a while and come back in the evening, he immediately stopped crying.

But he still couldn't help but pout his mouth in grievance, and tears kept rolling in his eyes.

Looking at the two people walking away, Wu Wa started sobbing again, her face was as red as a crying apple, her hands kept waving everywhere, and she shouted in her mouth: "Brother, remember to come back!"

"Haha, remember to listen to mother! Brother will be back in the evening." She touched Wu's little head and kept rubbing it on Ling Yun's hand.

He couldn't help but pinch her face, it was chubby and very cute.

What a cute little melon!

Ling Yun, who was slowly driving away on the bullock cart, waved his hand back vigorously, signaling for them to go back.



"Dad, where is my uncle's house? Is it far from our home?"

"It's not far, just thirty miles away, just a little way down from Qinghe Town."

"Dad, is uncle fierce? Does he know how to scold others?" Ling Yun asked with some worry, he would not go anywhere to be scolded.

"It's not fierce, but..." Ling Dashan blurted out, but paused before he finished speaking.

"But what?" Ling Yun asked.

"It's nothing, you kid, why are you thinking so much? Won't it be clear to you when you meet the person later?" Seeing Ling Yun keep asking, Ling Daren replied impatiently.

Ling Yun was sitting on the bullock cart, feeling very bored and began to think wildly.

He had never been to his uncle's house, and he didn't know who his uncle was or what he looked like.

But the name uncle made his ears tingle when he heard it.

His mother kept mumbling in his ears until he almost got cocooned. One can only imagine how close his mother and his uncle were to each other.

For more than half an hour, the ox cart slowly entered Qinghe Town, and then walked another six or seven miles to Yangjia Village.

Ling Yun carried the pork, while Ling Daren got out of the car carrying a bag of this year's new rice and a bag of flour just bought yesterday.

After they got off the car, they asked Old Man Zhou to go back and told him that he could just come back in the afternoon.

When he reached the door of a house, Ling Daren motioned to Ling Yun to come forward and call the door.

Ling Yun was not timid, he stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Is there anyone there?"

After a while, a plainly dressed woman hurriedly shouted: "Who is it? It's coming, it's coming."

"Sister-in-law, it's me, Daren." When Ling Daren saw the person coming, he immediately stepped forward to say hello, and at the same time motioned to Ling Yun to call someone.

"Hello, aunt." Seeing that he was an elder, Ling Yun saluted.

"Oh, it's Daren here!" the woman exclaimed.

"Dad, come and see who's here." When she saw Ling Daren bringing her son to the door, the woman happily shouted to the back room.

"Who! Are you having so much fun?"

"This is my nephew. No need to be polite. Why is he so big? Let aunt take a good look at it." After saying that, he stepped forward and touched his head.

He shrugged, knowing that he could not escape the bad habit of touching his head, so he had no choice but to accept it.

"Hey, Daren is here, come in, come in." Ling Yun suddenly saw a big man walking out. He was quite burly and had a wind in his eyes when he walked. Ling Yun was a little frightened by this sight.

"Brother." When he saw the man, Ling Daren stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.

"Come in, why are you standing there? You said you were coming, why did you bring something with you? Oh, by the way, why didn't my sister come with you?" When the big man saw Ling Daren carrying a big bag and a small bag, he couldn't help but think again.

A scolding.

Looking left and right, I didn't see my sister coming back, and I was a little disappointed.

"A Ying can't leave for a while, so I only brought Shi Lang with me." Ling Daren explained to him.

"Shiro, where are you?" The man looked around, but did not see the child.

"This is it." Ling Daren pulled out Ling Yun who was hiding behind him.

"Oh, my good nephew is here, why are you hiding behind him? Come on, let uncle hug you." When the big man saw Dao Lingyun, he burst out laughing, and the disappointment he felt just now disappeared.

He stepped forward quickly, picked up Ling Yun suddenly, put his head on his face and kissed him, his unkempt beard hurting him.

His uncle's enthusiasm really startled him. Before he could react, he was kissed fiercely, leaving him stunned for a long time.

I saw that the person who came was tall and thick, and his whole body was as black as a layer of pot dust. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and broad shoulders. He ran like a gust of wind.

"Don't be careless and hurt your nephew. Let's see if he dares to come again."

The woman on the side saw that Ling Yun was a little uncomfortable, and saw her husband pressing his head on Ling Yun's face, fearing that he would scare the child.

"Hahaha, it's okay. Our nephew is kissing us, so we won't be scared." After hearing his wife's words, Yang Huahan reacted with a smile and scratched his head, but his movements stopped, apparently relieved that Ling Yun was afraid of him.

"It's a rare occasion for me to come here. Come through the door." The man warmly greeted Ling Daren into the house, still holding Ling Yun in his arms.

"Later, let Wan'er cook some more vegetables. Our brothers will have a few more drinks today."

Ling Daren didn't speak, obviously agreeing with what he said.

"Daddy, who's here?" A boy ran out and asked loudly, while a girl poked her head at the door and stared.

"Your uncle, cousin, call someone quickly." When he saw the person coming, the man said.

"How are you, uncle? How are you, brother?" the boy asked politely.

Ling Daren just nodded symbolically, while Ling Yun politely called "brother."

His uncle's name is Yang Hua, and his mother's name is Yang Ying.

I heard from his mother that Ling Yun's grandparents passed away very early. When he died, his uncle was only fifteen years old and his mother was only ten years old.

From then on, my uncle and his mother depended on each other until he married his father.

Therefore, the relationship between the two of them has been very close since childhood, otherwise they would not have spent all their savings to treat Ling Yun when he was sick.

Five taels of silver may not seem like much, but for his uncle's family, who has no father or mother, it is already the strength of the whole family, so he was particularly touched when he heard the news.

Ling Yun felt that his uncle liked him very much, and when chatting with his father, he would bring him along, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Daren, is Shiro now five years old? Can he be taught any skills?" Uncle Yang Hua asked.

"This kid is so amazing, you might not even believe it if I tell you."

When Yang Hua asked about Ling Yun, Ling Daren naturally pretended to be sophisticated and kept it secret.

"Speak quickly, speak quickly, don't beat around the bush." ​​Yang Hua became impatient when he saw Ling Daren beating around the bush.

"Brother, look at this kid, can you find anything different?"

Yang Hua looked up and down and shook his head.

"This kid is very smart. A few months ago, my father wanted him to learn carpentry, but he never thought that he didn't want to learn. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't convince him."

"Later, my father thought about letting him do something. After all, he was so old that it was not good to leave him like this. Besides, he was young and learned things quickly. But he also thought that he had been weak and sick since he was a child and could not do physical work, so he thought about letting him do physical work.

He first goes to Uncle Li's place in the north of the village to learn some lessons and learn some words so that he can plan for the future."

"Unexpectedly, this boy is so talented that he learned all the basic knowledge in elementary school in just over three months. He even made Uncle Li come to ask him to send him to the county to continue his studies so that he could gain fame in the future."

After Ling Daren finished speaking, his face looked proud, as if he was showing off to Yang Hua again.

"No wonder you met me just now and know the rules so well. It turns out you were educated in a private school." Aunt Luo Qian, who was standing by, said in surprise.

"Oh? Are you really that powerful?" Although Yang Hua knew that Ling Daren would not lie to him, what he said was too fantastical.

He had to be suspicious, so he looked Ling Yun up and down to see if it was true as his father said.

But to his disappointment, Ling Yun was like a child at this time, his eyes were clear and he couldn't see any difference.

"If brother doesn't believe it, you can ask him to write his name." Looking at the dubious Yang Hua, Ling Daren had no choice but to let Ling Yun write in front of everyone in order to eliminate his suspicion.

There is nothing more convincing than seeing is believing.

"Silang has already been named? What are you calling me for? Let's talk about it." Yang Hua said excitedly when he heard that Ling Yun had already been named.

"It seems to be called Ling Yun, yes, yes, it's Ling Yun." Ling Daren paused for a moment.

"Ling Yun, Ling Yun, that's a pretty good name." Yang Hua read it twice and affirmed.

"oh?"

"You said just now that your nephew has been educated and can write, is it true?" Yang Hua suddenly remembered something and said without thinking.

Ling Daren nodded in agreement.

"But you can write?" After receiving Ling Daren's affirmation, Yang Hua looked at Ling Yun with twinkling eyes.
