Several times in dreams

Chapter 13
"Xianlun, have you heard it all? Your uncle also has good intentions, and he is not very capable as a mother. He rarely goes out on weekdays, so he has been unsure about your marriage. Are you blaming the family and family background that your mother found for you? Not prominent enough?"

Mrs. Li saw her son's gloomy face, fearing that he disliked Miss Xu's low background, so she hurried to Xianlun and said slowly.

"Xianlun, don't be angry. If you don't like Miss Xu's family, you can find another home in another day. Don't be angry." Li Menglong was afraid of causing trouble for his sister, so he hurriedly comforted her.

Seeing that the two were so nervous, Meng Xianlun couldn't bear it, and his expression eased.

He helped his mother to sit down, saluted his uncle, and then said: "Mother, uncle, I don't dislike the Xu family. Now it's the Republic of China. I just want to fall in love freely, marry the person I like, and spend the rest of my life. For the rest of your life, if you live with someone you've never met, you might as well kill me."

"Okay, Xianlun, you tell mother, which girl do you like, and mother will propose marriage for you."

Mrs. Li nodded hurriedly, her brows beaming with joy, it seems that this child has a sweetheart.

"Oh, mother, that's what I said, that's what I planned, but I haven't set my sights on any girls. You know, there are no girls in the police academy..."

"You child, let Niang Bai be happy. According to you, when you graduate next year and go to the police station, there will be no girls there. If you want to touch yourself, you have to wait until the year of the monkey? Or, You think about the girl from the Xu family first? At least you know the basics..."

"Okay, mother, I still have to study, uncle, Xianlun has to go back to his room first."

Looking at her son's impatient back, Li shook her head helplessly.

"Okay, sister, don't worry, the child will naturally have his own ideas when he grows up, let him go, Xianlun is not yet twenty, his eldest brother is only getting married, don't be in a hurry, I just said it casually Said, since the child is unwilling, just pretend that I didn't say anything."

Li Menglong quickly smoothed things over, "By the way, my father also said that next summer I want my sister to take the children to the mountains to escape the summer heat. Look at Wanying and Wanlan. It will be a few years since my father has seen him. Well, the two of them are very close to Yumei Yuhuan, they are still young, and when they get married, it will be even more difficult to meet each other."

"Yeah, what you said, I have one more thing. This Wanying is growing up day by day, and she will be eighteen next year. These days, I think she has something in her heart, and she doesn't tell me anything about it. If she doesn't stay in the female university, she has a stronger temper, and she has decided on her life's major affairs earlier, and I also have a worry."

"Then I'll ask my acquaintances in the city to keep an eye out. My brother-in-law is gone, so don't expect others to help. Some things have to be figured out by myself. However, isn't Wanying very fond of the old man? I personally asked."

"It's supposed to be so, but the old man is getting older, and his body is not getting better every year. No, he caught a cold a few days ago, and he hasn't recovered yet. No matter how many side effects he has taken, the cough can't get rid of it. My God It's getting colder and colder, and it's not an option to drag it on like this."

"Auspicious people have their own appearance. The old man is sure to be fine. This time I brought you a fox fur. The fur color is very beautiful. It was hunted by hunters in the mountains this year. My sister will see what you want to make. Take a look..."

Wanlan here also came back from school, and she almost jumped up happily when she saw sisters Yumei and Yuhuan.

Wanlan is especially close to Yuhuan. Yuhuan is only a few months older than Wanlan. Unfortunately, she contracted polio when she was a child. Although she tried her best to treat her, she was still slightly disabled and walked with a limp.

Although she couldn't go to school, she read a lot of books with her grandfather at home. The "San Zi Jing" and "The Analects of Confucius" are indispensable. Li Menglong also taught her arithmetic and abacus, and said that the skills are not overwhelming, and she can use them in the future.

Not long after they met, Yuhuan, who is eager to learn, pulled Wanlan to talk about the courses taught in the school in the city.

What Wanying and Yumei like to talk about most is drama stories, those stories about talented scholars and beautiful ladies are what girls of their age are most interested in.

Although Yumei is two years younger than Wanying, she has been free from restraint since she was a child, and she doesn't blush at all when talking about her future marriage, "Cousin, my father said, I will find my husband's family to choose by myself in the future. A gentleman of learning."

"Don't be ashamed! Have you thought about it now?" Wanying blushed.

"Yes, don't be shy, hahaha, cousin, what kind of brother-in-law do you want to marry? It is said that this city is a new idea now, unmarried men and women can make friends and fall in love freely. Do you know any men... ..."

"Hehe, the little girl knows a lot about movies, and she loves freely!" Meng Xianlun happened to pass by, and it was very funny to hear the conversation between the two younger sisters, so he couldn't help joking.

"I just know a lot, cousin, are there any female students in your school?"

"Oh, I would like to, but there is not a single girl in this police academy! It's really annoying!" After finishing speaking, he pretended to be distressed.

The two girls giggled.

"Yumei, let me tell you, with my brother's temper, my sister-in-law will be happy every day in the future. He can tell jokes!"

"Really? Cousin, don't leave first, and then tell us a joke!"

Meng Xianlun ran away as if fleeing.

In the evening, Li's mother and daughter were preparing to entertain Li Menglong's father and daughter for dinner, Xianlun also wanted to take the opportunity to have a few drinks with his uncle.

Suddenly, I saw the servant next to the old man running into the yard and shouting loudly: "Second Grandma, it's not good!"

Li's body trembled, "What's the matter?" Her heart beat like a drum.

"Old man, the old man vomited a lot of blood just now, and now he is unconscious. Langzhong Zhao came to see it, and the old man asked everyone to go over and discuss it."

"Let's go!" Li Shi was anxious and nearly fell down. Wanying and Xianlun quickly helped her up, and the family rushed to the front yard.

In the lobby of the front yard, Meng Zhaokun and his wife had already arrived, Meng Zhaoxuan and Mrs. He didn't say a word, Meng Zhaoxuan looked sad and worried.

Seeing that the Li family had also arrived, Meng Zhaoxuan said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that the old man couldn't bear it even after a small wind and cold. Just now Mr. Zhao took his pulse. My father is suffering from the cold and evil. With his age, I'm afraid already……"

"No, father is auspicious, and he will get better slowly. Brother, don't worry too much."

Before Liu's words were finished, He Jinlian interrupted her in disgust, "What kind of auspicious person and celestial appearance, people over 70 have been rare since ancient times, and the old man is more than [-] people, there must be this day sooner or later, Zhao Langzhong is the best in the city The doctor is here, can what he said be false?"

"That's what I said, but Kong Tianshi often said in the past that there is still a turning point for this kind of thing, such as... Chongxi..." Liu Shi muttered, a little scared, but she still finished speaking.

He Jinlian said in her heart, "Don't think I don't know, the two of you are afraid that the old man will not be able to afford it once he gets sick. Once you go west, your good days will come to an end!"

Unexpectedly, Meng Zhaoxuan took it seriously, "Why are you so happy? What happy event can our family have right now?"

"Brother, my brother-in-law came to visit me at our house today, and just told Xianlun about a marriage, but..." Mrs. Li said softly.

"Mother!" Meng Xianlun shouted dissatisfied.

"Is it because you didn't like it? Let me tell you, Li Mengxian, don't use those cats and dogs to fool our Xianlun, do you really think you are your own mother?"

He Jinlian's eyes immediately widened.

"No, Miss Xu's family background is quite good, it's me...uh..."

Meng Xianlun speaks incoherently. In front of Meng Zhaoxuan, he absolutely dare not say the words "free love".

"What are you! I don't know what ghost is hiding in your heart? Look at your elder brother, how reassuring, the person your mother chose for you will definitely be right!"

Meng Zhaoxuan continued: "Second brother and sister, call the younger brother of the Li family in a while, and come to my study to make a calculation. When the horoscope is matched, if it is suitable, I will be hired immediately. The sooner you get married, the better!"

After finishing speaking, He Jinlian who was stunned, Meng Xianlun who started to jump, and a group of people left behind.
