Chapter 675 Meeting Brother

Chapter 675 Meeting Brother

In the village, on a dirt flat in front of the house on the hillside of the village, several women were chatting together, and two women were holding children.

After the spring plowing, there is a period of free time, and the already idle women naturally like to gather together, chat about various things, and pass the time together.

No, what these women like to chat about the most these days is the Shoufu and the Shi family. When they see that the Ying family from the next village comes to the Xiao family every now and then to help here and there, everyone They all wondered, did Yingshi take the wrong medicine? Or are you confused?

In the past, the Ying family was the least happy to have a longevity father, let alone the Xiao family.

The enthusiastic look and sudden change now make everyone feel that Yingshi is like a different person. When did Yingshi become so close to Xiaoshi...

It doesn’t make sense!

"Junhan! Why don't you see the Ying family here today?"

The woman named Qi suddenly looked at the young woman approaching and asked with a smile.

The other women also looked at Junhan with curiosity. As Shui Shou's wife, Junhan didn't like to have contact with them in the past. Even his son Shu'er stayed at home most of the time. If not for the past two days, Ying Han Shi brought Shu'er over to play with their children, but Yunhan wouldn't even come here.

In the final analysis, the reason for the conflict in his heart was that several of the brothers-in-law who met Junhan did not mention their husband's instructions. Even his mother did not like these women, because in the beginning, these women were the ones who laughed at his brother-in-law the most. My brother-in-law, who has never been heard from again, was ridiculed by these women until he was a child.

Suddenly, a woman with sharp eyes and a baby in her arms couldn't help but frown softly and looked into the distance with a confused expression.

"It's Shui Yan, Shui Yan is back! Tell the others!"

The woman named He had a sallow complexion and said to Junhan in a sharp tone, as if she really couldn't bear to see this person.

"Uuuuu~ Mom, I don't want to go back, Shu'er wants to be General Bai Yan! Shu'er wants to be General Bai Yan!!!"

"I also saw at the beginning that Yingshi would fall ill sooner or later!"

As Hao finished speaking, the other women looked at Junhan, with a flash of ridicule in their eyes.

Junhan looked at the actions of the women and realized that it was really his brother-in-law who was coming home. He quickly hugged the child and walked towards home.

While he was talking in a low voice, he saw two figures appearing on the path into the village in the distance. Seeing this, several women started talking.

If Yun Han remembers correctly, the brother-in-law whom he met several times was named Yan!

After listening to the woman's words, Junhan hurriedly smiled and said, but the smile was a little stiff.

"Yes, go and tell the others, especially Mr. Xun. I ordered Master Shi not to tell Shui Yan to return to the village, but to tell him in Linzi City..."

After hearing what Yun Han said and understanding, she nodded as if she had a sudden realization and looked at each other with the other women.

I don't know what happened, but Yingshi, who was fine a few days ago, suddenly became limp and weak. She was struggling to breathe. She was already lying on the bed and couldn't move. Others said she was too sad.

With the other women nodding in agreement, the vanity in the hearts of the three people was greatly satisfied. They looked like they had expected it. But looking at Yunhan who was about to take Shu'er back, they had no plans. To retain.

"Auntie is ill and has been taking care of Shu'er for the past two days. The child is playful, so Yunhan will eventually take Shu'er for a visit!"

After all, they had often talked about Junhan in private. Due to his youth and good looks, they often flirted with the men in the village. I heard that even the old hunter at the head of the village had personally said that Junhan often passed by in private. Sometimes, I would secretly glance at him.

He and two other women, one named Wen He and the other He, kept saying with emotion.

"Yeah! I feel a bit familiar too..."

"It turns out he's sick! No wonder!"

Shui Yan?

"Yunhan! The child is still young and cannot be taught like this!"

They were so anxious to tell the people in the village about Shui Yan because of Ling Shi's instructions. They were worried that if they didn't tell them, Ling Shi would definitely blame their village if they found out about it in the future.

"It's really Shui Yan!!!"

"It's also a pain for Na Ying, I heard! Ever since she learned that her beloved died, Na Ying cried all the way back to Qi from Wei. That day at home, all the villagers heard Na Ying's cry. I can’t help but feel sad, how could that Zihuai, who is so good, be so... ugh!"

Junhan hugged the crying child and explained to Mrs. He, then nodded and turned around to leave.

"Why does it look a bit like Shui Yan!"

Junhan looked at the child crying and fussing, and spanked him angrily. Looking at the child who was crying completely, the tip of Junhan's nose was a little sore, but he still held it back, looking at the child who was only crying but not fussing, and hugged him. Get up and leave.

"Oh, aunt, my aunt is ill and can't come today!"

In the water village.

Even Junhan, who was holding Shu'er, stopped when he heard the words of the woman behind him and turned to look at the entrance of the village.

In the small yard, Yan's father was outside the cattle pen, taking the old cow out of the wooden shed, pulling a wooden trailer over from the corner of the yard, and placing the rope and wooden frame on the old cow.

They didn't dare to offend Master Ling Shi, who was a big shot that they had never been able to get in touch with in their lives, and he was an official in Linzi City.

The two ladies, Wen He and Qi, stood up immediately after seeing clearly that the figure in the distance was really Shui Yan.

"No, I have said before that Ying's appearance shows that she is overly sad and will collapse. Look, this is not..."

"Eh? Who is that person? Why does he look familiar!"

"Don't cry, Shu'er! Uncle is home!"

Although he lives in Shuicun, Junhan has basically had little contact with these women in the past few years. If Shuer hadn't cried so hard that her eyes were swollen and insisted on coming over to play with other children, Junhan would not have come here to see her. These women.

Mrs. Xiao looked at Yan's father, who was bending down to carry a small bag, thinking whether he would have enough to go to Shou'er's grandfather's house.

Hearing the Madam's words, the other women were also stunned when they heard the words, and then hurriedly looked at the figure entering the village.

The other women looked at each other, looked at Junhan's back, and started talking quietly. They looked at Junhan from time to time, and it was obvious that what they said was not good.

Thinking of this, she had always been at odds with her on weekdays, but Ying's behavior in the past few days had almost worn away the anger that Shi had suffered in the past twenty years.

It's a person like Ms. Xiao who has a sharp mouth but a soft heart. Even though she is often wronged, other people can calm down by being kind to her.

"My dear, wait a moment..."

Shi moved her things and walked towards the wooden trailer. She was about to speak when she suddenly saw two figures outside the yard.

Shi, who was still wondering who it was, suddenly saw the fence door being pushed open, and a familiar figure came into view.

"Yan'er!!!!!"

Shi's eyes widened. When he saw the man entering the yard clearly, he was stunned and the things in his hands fell to the ground.

Seeing the figure she hadn't seen for several years, and seeing her son whom she thought about day and night, Mrs. Xiao's eyes were red, fearing that it was an illusion, she burst into tears and ran towards Shui Yan desperately.

"Yan'er?"

Yan's father was tied with a thick rope. When he heard his wife's words, he turned around quickly and saw that his second son Shui Yan, who had been away for many years, had returned home.

Father Yan was stunned, and his old face, with some white hair on his eyes, turned red with excitement.

"Mom! Dad!"

Bai Yan looked at his mother who was running over quickly and looked at his father who was in a daze. When he called out "Daddy", Bai Yan's eyes turned red. Bai Yan couldn't remember how many times he thought about seeing her in the dead of night. When you see your parents, call them daddy.

Now when he returned home and shouted this, Bai Yan felt that his whole body and even his soul were trembling.

"Child! Where have you been?"

Shi's voice was trembling, full of sobs, and she looked Bai Yan up and down, her eyes full of blame, and more importantly, distressed. She was blaming Bai Yan for not hearing anything, and blaming herself for being a mother and not doing a good job. That kind of heartache.

"Yan'er! Where have you been in the past few years? Mom is so worried! Do you know! Do you know!!!"

Mrs. Ji's panicked hands kept touching Bai Yan's cheek. Tears blurred her eyes and flowed down her cheeks full of traces of time. However, the look in her eyes was that of a mother. She was so longing for seeing the wanderer return home. Years of worry, catharsis in this moment.

"Mom! Yan'er left Qi State and went out to make a living!"

Bai Yan had rarely seen his mother cry since he was a child, let alone like this.

As a son of man, it would be a lie to say that I don’t feel sorry for you.

"Brother Yan!!!"

Suddenly, Bai Yan heard a familiar voice. He looked away from the mother's face in front of him. He looked up and saw a lame man in front of the wooden house. He looked at him with joy, and then... Came limping.

Bai Yan looked at his brother, remembering how he took care of him when he was a child. After his brother joined the army, he still worried about whether he had clothes to wear and whether he was cold.

Now, when Bai Yan saw his brother limping with his own eyes, Bai Yan's mind went blank. If Bai Yan's eyes turned red when he saw his mother, and his eyes were filled with tears of joy, then he should look like his brother.

this moment.

An unprecedented anger made Bai Yan's eyes bloodshot.

Field holiday! ! !

Bai Yan gritted his teeth, his face became ferocious, and the veins on his forehead bulged. His anger and self-blame made Bai Yan's expression collapse. At this moment, Bai Yan wanted to chop Tian Jia into pieces with his own hands.

"Brother!"

Bai Yan quickly walked towards his brother Shui Shou under the gaze of his mother, Shi.

Seeing his brother limping forward, every step made Bai Yan's heart hurt uncontrollably. Simply saying the word "brother" almost made Bai Yan gasp for breath.

"So big! How come it's not as good as when I was a child! You can't let anyone see you like this! Especially people in the village!"

Shui Shou wiped his tears from his eyes. His dull and honest face was stained with tears, and he also saw the smile of his brother who had not seen him for many years.

Looking at his brother's ferocious and distressed expression, Shui Shou didn't know that his brother saw his legs.

But this matter!

Shui Shou has decided that he will not let his brother know about it even if he kills him. Shui Shou also believes that his parents will not tell Yan'er, otherwise if Yan'er knows, it may lead to big trouble.

After all, the person who hurt him was a big shot that they could never afford to offend in this life. Even Ling Shi, who was treated with respect by all the villagers, old men, and even the patrolmen and villagers that day, did not dare to raise his head in front of that person. , dare not speak rashly.

Perhaps it can also be said that no one in the entire Qi country can do anything to that big shot.

"Brother, does it still hurt?"

In the dirt yard of Bai Yan, he knelt down on one knee in front of his brother, in front of his parents and teachers, while crying, he raised his hand distressedly and slowly touched his brother's lame leg.

"It doesn't hurt! Get up, Yan'er, where have you been for so many years? You know how worried your parents are!"

Shui Shou tried to help Bai Yan up with both hands, but he was lame and couldn't use one foot at all.

Fortunately, Bai Yan was worried about Shui Shou and hurriedly stood up, fearing that Shui Shou would be injured.

"Yan'er, who is this?"

At this time, the Jin family still had Shui Shou and Yan's father. Only then did he notice that there was an old man who followed Shui Yan back.

"Mom, dad, brother, this is Yan'er's teacher! Yan'er has been learning sculpture by the teacher's side before!"

Bai Yan suppressed the anger in his heart, took a deep breath, put a smile on his face, and introduced Mr. Wei to his family.

Sculpture!

This is not a lie by Bai Yan. Mr. Wei is very skilled in carving skills. He even has a disciple who is famous for his carving in Handan County. If Mr. Wei was not worried about the news being known by Ying Zheng and other nobles, Bai Yan would have seen it. Those few senior brothers I met.

Although those senior brothers did not study political strategy or the art of war, under Mr. Wei's sect, it was naturally senior brother Bai Yan.

"Ah! Carving!!! Come on, come on, Yan'er, why don't you invite the teacher in the house, Shou'er, hurry up and prepare tea, there are some on the wooden board, hurry up, hurry up!!"

After hearing Bai Yan's words, not to mention Shi's hurried orders to Shui Shou, Shui Shou was also anxious to prepare tea.

Even Yan's father also looked serious.

Growing up, their biggest worry was that Yan'er would have no future and would be too weak to be self-reliant, and it would be even harder for them to start a family, marry a wife and have children.

Now that they saw that Yan'er actually became a teacher and was a sculptor, Yan'er, Shi and Shui Shou were so excited.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"

Mr. Wei looked at Mr. Xiao with emotion and told Shui Shou not to worry.

After coming here in person and seeing his disciple Bai Yan's home and his family with his own eyes, Mr. Wei lamented how difficult it was for Bai Yan to not lose his character in the midst of alcohol, sex and power after becoming famous.

Many people, not to mention those who have become rich in the past, or those who have grown from poverty to moderate wealth, find it difficult to control their minds. They seem to take revenge on everything that satisfies them, constantly enjoying it and trying to make up for it.

And Bai Yan, whether he was a general, a county lieutenant, or now a lord guarding the northern border, he has never forgotten his original intention.

Even at his age, old man Wei couldn't help but sigh.

If it were Mr. Wei himself, at his disciple Bai Yan's age and background, he probably wouldn't be able to do what his disciple did.

"Good man!"

There was a cry of children behind him, and then Mr. Wei turned around and saw a woman coming to the yard with a child.

"Yan'er, your brother and sister-in-law, Yunhan! Yunhan, this is my brother, Yan!"

When Shui Shou saw his wife coming back, he introduced her to Bai Yan with a smile.

When Bai Yan heard this, he looked at his brother and sister-in-law instinctively, and then he saluted his brother and sister-in-law seriously. This gift was not handed over, but Bai Yan knelt on the ground and saluted his brother and sister-in-law.

"Yan, meet my brother and sister-in-law!"

Bai Yan said.

Although it was the first time for him to meet this woman, his brother and sister-in-law, Bai Yan was extremely grateful to her brother and sister-in-law.

After his brother became disabled, this brother-in-law never left him and took care of him. This alone was enough for Bai Yan to pay his respects seriously.

"what!"

Yun Han looked surprised and looked at Bai Yan a little helplessly. This was neither support nor standing.

Seeing the brother-in-law whom he met for the first time, he knelt down and saluted so solemnly. This made Yunhan, who was born in the village, never seen him before, or heard from the villagers that the scholars in the city only knew how to treat people who respected them extremely. Big gift.

Just kneel on the ground.

"Yan'er, get up!"

Shui Shou looked at his wife's appearance and his brother's actions. His wife didn't understand, but as an elder brother, how could Shui Shou not understand why his brother was acting like this?

For a moment, Shui Shou burst into tears again, sobbed twice, wiped them away quickly, and asked his brother to get up.

Mrs. Xiao was also distressed and relieved. She came to Bai Yan and asked Bai Yan to get up.

Then Bai Yan stood up.

Everyone in the yard looked at Bai Yan. In the silence, the children who were originally following Junhan looked at the men they met and saw that their father, grandfather, and grandmother were all at home. They seemed to think that they could not play. He cried aggrievedly again.

"Uuuuuuu~ Mom, Shu'er wants to be General Bai Yan! Shu'er doesn't want to go home!!!"

The cry of children broke the peace of the yard.

Bai Yan stood up and when he heard the words of his mother beside him, he smiled and stepped forward, passing by his brother and sister-in-law, and squatted down gently in front of the child.

"Woooooo~!"

The young Shu'er, although ignorant, was crying. For some reason, looking at the friendly-looking man in front of her, not only was she not afraid, she even stopped crying.

"Shu'er wants to be General Bai Yan?"

In Bai Yan's red eyes, a smile appeared on his face, and he raised his hand to gently stroke the child's hair.

Shu'er didn't know who the person in front of him was and didn't dare to speak, but when he thought about how his friends were all vying to be General Bai Yan, he had been defeated so many times and it was not easy for him to become General Bai Yan, but he was defeated. Mother brought it back.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved. Shu'er nodded, and then looked at her mother cautiously, as if she was afraid of being spanked again.

In the courtyard.

Shui Shou shook his head helplessly, knowing that the child wanted to play. He looked at his wife and smiled at his helpless look.

As grandfathers and grandmothers, Yan's father and Xiao's family looked at their second son Yan'er and liked Shu'er's appearance very much. While smiling, they also prayed with all their hearts that the family would be safe in the future and never be separated again.

After a few days, with some savings, it was time to find a marriage for Yan'er. After all, it was different from before. Now Yan'er has learned skills from a teacher.

As long as she searches carefully, she will definitely find a good girl to be her wife. Mrs. Xiao has even been thinking about it. She heard the villagers talking about the beautiful girls to be married in other villages and which ones are suitable.

at this time.

Standing in the small garden, only Mr. Wei looked at Bai Yan caressing the child. Looking at this scene, the old man couldn't help but smile.
