Self-cultivation of Male Supporting Role

Shi Yan is an activist, thinking that soon, Liu Xiucai will lick an old face at the Liu family's side and block at the door of his uncle's house. Take it to save my daughter's life.

Immediately, I will go to my uncle's house with my cousin Yun Shiliang.

He Dashan became anxious when he heard it, and stopped him: "Ayan, the doctor said that you need to rest in peace, your health is not yet good, stay at home, wait for a while, father will accompany you wherever you want to go, now your mother for a while If I can't see you, I'm in a hurry!"

Shi Yan thought about it for a while, and said to his father He Dashan, "Actually, you have to make up your mind about this matter. Dad, please accompany me to my uncle's house!"

When He Dashan came back to his senses, he was already sitting at his eldest brother-in-law's house, and he heard his son say to his eldest uncle in a firm and well-founded tone, "Uncle, that's the way it is, I'm not good at studying myself. Score, grit your teeth, it is best to be able to test a scholar.

You can't keep procrastinating, you have to plan for the future.

I thought that there was just a chance. The shop next door to our house was going to be sold. I bought it directly and opened a breakfast shop for my parents. Everyone on the street knows my mother's craftsmanship, and I definitely don't worry about customers. Always set up a stall outside, summer is fine, winter is really hard.

You know what our family is, and it is not enough to take all of them. I would like to borrow some money from you first. In the future, the shop will be moved and we will slowly pay it back. "

Uncle was very happy, and said to Shi Yan, "You have a conscience to think about your parents like this. I said earlier that if your parents have money in their hands, it would be better to open a store than to spend all day in the sun. It's good to bask in the bottom, but your parents just said that they should save the money for you to study and marry your daughter-in-law.

Now to hear you say this, uncle is very happy. "

Shi Yan was about to tell the price he had inquired about, how much money he had, how much he was still missing, how much he would set aside to open a shop, buy tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, how much he needed to borrow, when to pay it back, and how much to pay at a time. They all said it clearly, and in front of several people, they wrote an IOU and gave it to my uncle.

Uncle Yunfeng watched Shi Yan's appearance, patted Shi Yan's shoulder happily, and slapped Shi Yan's small body staggered: "Good boy, thinking so well, he is a material for doing things!"

During the whole process, He Dashan was not given a chance to refuse, and the uncle and nephew handled the matter properly.

On the way home, He Dashan carefully guarded Shi Yan, a tall and mighty man who looked aggrieved

, with worry written on his face: "Your uncle's family is not rich, your aunt must help Mrs. Liu secretly, otherwise the old lady will starve to death in that home.

And your cousin Shixiu is eight years old this year, and the dowry needs to be prepared early. If we borrow so much in one go, their family may have a hard time. "

Shi Yan's face was still a little pale, and his face was very calm: "No."

He knew that his uncle was not the kind of person who would pay random fees on the street. He had an excellent reputation in this area, and his aunt had limited sources of income. It was actually quite easy to calculate how much savings their family had.

Shi Yan stuck for a while, leaving enough money for his uncle's family to live for a few months. At that time, even if the poor old man of the Liu family blocked the door and lent their family money for the sake of fame, it would only be a few hundred dollars at most. Many, of course not.

When you meet someone you know along the way, it is inevitable that you will ask: "Is Dashan visiting my brother-in-law's house?"

Shi Yan replied obediently for his father: "No, our family is planning to build a restaurant for breakfast. We don't have enough money, so we borrowed money from my uncle's house."

Shi Yan had a very grateful expression: "Uncle has lent most of the family's wealth to my father, and he kept a few months to buy copper plates for rice. He is really a good man, and I will definitely repay him in the future!"

The two walked out of the alley on the front foot, and almost everyone in the back foot knew that Yun Feng received the money from his family, all of which were subsidized by his sister-in-law.

When the father and son returned home, Yue Niang knew what the two had done, and pointed at their noses for a long time, but she never learned how to scold people for most of her life.

The father and son, one tall and one short, stood in front of Yue Niang and asked her to accuse her obediently.

Passers-by saw this scene through the wide open door, and they covered their mouths and laughed. Some people joked with Yueniang: "What did Brother Dashan do to get his daughter-in-law reprimanded like this?"

When Yueniang heard this, she couldn't hold back her face, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

At this time, He Dashan turned around and closed the door, pulled Yueniang to sit in the courtyard, and explained to her in a low voice: "I used to say that you do some light work at home. There will be no accident, our family's life will definitely go on, and I will slowly save the money for Ah Yan's study.

You and your uncle do not agree.

But you have a strong temperament and can't be idle at home. When I don't know that you have been coveting other people's shops for a long time? I'm glad that Ah Yan can take the initiative to speak today and be considerate to you as a mother. child grows

Big, I know it hurts. "

Yueniang glared at He Dashan: "Everyone said that you are dull, but I'm looking at you today, but you are very articulate."

There was still some hesitation on his face.

Shi Yan said directly: "Mother, I have borrowed all the money. Before I entered the door, I had already agreed with the shop owner and gave them a deposit of two taels. It's too late for you to think about it."

Now not only Yue Niang was shocked, but He Dashan was also dumbfounded.

"Ayan, when did you pay Boss Wang the deposit, why don't I know?"

Shi Yan calmly said: "Just now, when you were thinking about what reason to use to persuade my mother, Dad, I talked to Boss Wang by the way."

Shi Yan took out a piece of paper full of words from his sleeve and handed it to He Dashan: "This is the receipt, you have it."

He Dashan: "…"

Now the husband and wife don't have to think about superfluous.

All of them are action-oriented, turned around and went out, went straight to Boss Wang's shop, went to measure the size, asked a carpenter to order tables and chairs, set a plaque, and discussed with Boss Wang about the next transfer to the yamen.

After the busy work, Yue Niang went to the street every morning to sell breakfast food. He Dashan got up in the middle of the night, and the couple prepared buns and porridge together. Busy with no time to rest.

Shi Yan occasionally helped the two of them, but they were treated as fragile items by them, so he persuaded them to go back with a stern face, and did not allow him to do anything. The only requirement for him was to keep them at home.

Ten days passed, Shi Yan's complexion was getting better and better every day, and the preparations for the opening of the breakfast shop were almost done. Aunt Liu Shi came over to help Yue Niang with the work.

The two sifted rice with a sieve in the yard. At this time, the rice generally refers to yellow rice, that is, the rice that is milled by hard millet. The porridge has a strong aroma of rice, which is very popular with the locals. Conditional In people's homes, they have to drink such a hot bowl every morning and feel comfortable all day long.

Just listening to my aunt shaking the sieve in her hand vigorously and regularly, she complained to Yueniang: "Hey, my father's old thing is getting more and more excessive. It was blocked at my door yesterday, and the neighbors were all around, in front of the big guy. Er’s face said that he would kneel down for Xianggong and ask him to lend him money, and that he would see a doctor for Liu Yunhan.

Don't say whether he will kneel or not, it is his voice that shouts, no matter how much he despised Xianggong in the past, and how bad his relationship with Xianggong is, Xianggong's reputation is completely bad.

I was really **** off at the time. If he wasn't my own father, I would have been punished by the yamen for driving people with a big stick. I would have beaten him to death with a stick! "

Although Liu Shi was angry,

But in the end, there was a happy look on his face: "Thanks to Xianggong who lent you all the money, all the neighbors heard about it, and after everyone's persuasion, I finally decided to send people away with a few coins, or else , we are afraid that there will be no peace in our family!"

Yueniang wondered: "That girl Liu Yunhan is very ill?"

Liu Shi coldly snorted: "Who knows? That's the disease of wealth and honor, you can't be tired, you can't get angry, stay in the house all day, do whatever you want, and the whole family coaxes her to be happy, just as she likes. If one does not go well, cough a few times, and can't breathe, he will faint!

The medicine I take all day makes my heart tremble as soon as I hear it. It's all ginseng and deer antler, good things for nourishing qi and nourishing blood. Anyway, I have never been so expensive in my life! "

Yue Niang was speechless.

Yueniang and sister-in-law are on good terms, otherwise, Liu Shi would not be able to take time to help every day because he was worried that he would be too busy here after borrowing most of Yueniang's property.

So he firmly said: "Sister-in-law, this money can't be borrowed, if Liu Xiucai treats you well on weekdays, he would borrow it in his face, but how he treated you mother and son, we all know in our hearts.

Even at my eldest brother's place, he also picked up eldest brother on patrol outside, and said something in a large audience that would make eldest brother not come to the stage. Because of Liu Xiucai, your husband and wife were pointed by the neighbors a few years ago, and they lived a good life. How difficult!

This money must not be borrowed, that family is a bottomless pit! You can see how big brother is dragged down by that family! "

Mrs. Liu and the eldest brother Liu Dalang in the front are both from Mrs. Liu. Liu Dalang has a simple and honest personality. He is twenty-nine this year and sandwiched between his parents. In the past few years, he has started to have gray hair.

Shi Yan folded his hands in his sleeves, squinted and sat under the porch, listening to the salsa of rice in the sieve, listening to the two women gossiping, feeling that the development of things made him very satisfied.

I heard my aunt Liu Shi hatefully say: "My eldest brother is honest, even if he doesn't like his dead appearance, he is not less filial as a son of man, and my family is frugal, just to take care of me more. Mother how much.

I didn't think so. Before the end of the year the year before, that old man threatened my eldest brother and asked my eldest brother to give him 10 taels of silver, saying that he would use it to buy silver hairpins, rouge gouache, and satin fabrics for Liu Yunhan. When a girl reaches this age, she needs to dress up well, and his daughter can't be without it!

I bother! That nest is full of rotten hearts, there is no good thing, I hate it so much that my heart hurts

!

In addition to reading, the eldest brother spends less than ten taels a year on the rest of the family. Why does he? "

Yueniang knew about this, and Shi Yan also knew it. At that time, Liu Dalang refused, and Liu Xiucai said bluntly: "If you don't give it, Dad will go to the yamen to sue you for being disobedient and unfilial. In the future, you won't want to leave the imperial examination. It's gone!"

Liu Dalang fainted on the spot, and in the end he was a master of the academy. He really pity Liu Dalang, loved his character, and gave him ten taels of silver in private.

Thinking of this, Shi Yan raised his eyelids slightly, looked into the courtyard, and saw Yue Niang pat Liu Shi's hand and comforted her softly: "Last time I saw Liu Xiucai on the street, and came out of the Cuiyan Building, with a body Seeing that he is not very healthy, he must have been hollowed out by the color of wine.

Sister-in-law, please bear with me, I don't see it as a long-lived sign. If you boil him to death, you and Mrs. Liu will be fine. "

Liu Shi agreed with a face full of hope: "I hope so, God bless me to achieve what I want!"

After that, the two women quickly looked in the direction of Shi Yan under the eaves, and when they saw Shi Yan closed his eyes, he seemed to be asleep, and at the same time relaxed and relieved.

Shi Yan, who had a panoramic view of the small movements of the two: "..."

Sure enough, women have two faces.
