Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 337 Gambling
Li Xin walked towards him, picked up the hoe in his hand, and put it outside the door. Guan Wen walked into the main room, looked at Guan Quan and Hu Yueying and asked, "Is he still gambling at the entrance of the village?"

Hu Yueying patted her hair in embarrassment, and Guan Quan responded in a low voice.

"What about every meal?"

Guan Quan was silent for a while, and said: "At noon, he went to another house to eat, and in the evening, the sixth younger brother came back, and the two were at home." He coughed in a low voice, and said: "I have not let Yueying stay at home these few days. Those who cook will go to my father-in-law's house."

Speaking of this, Hu Yueying had a slight smile on her face. When Li Xin walked in, she happened to see it, and Hu Yueying was a little embarrassed, and Li Xin smiled at her.

Guan Wen pondered for a moment, and said: "When he comes back in the evening, you can tell him, he can't come back in the evening, right?"

"I will come back when I come back..." Guan Quan sighed: "I really don't want to talk to him. Whenever he talks, he gets angry and scolds his head and face." It's purely slapping his nose and face.

Guan Quan lowered his head slightly as he spoke, looking quite helpless.

Guan Wen sat on the stool, Li Xin poured water for him to drink, took a sip of Guan Wen and said, "Tell him in the evening to see if he goes. If you want to, let him go. If you don't, it's fine. "

Hu Yueying took a step forward, and said impatiently: "Father's temper is probably..."

Hu Yueying paused, turned her head and stomped her feet in a playful manner.

Guan Wen glanced at her, then looked at Guan Quan and said, "Let's see what he means first. Uncle always wants to give presents for his birthday. If Dad wants to go, let him pay for the gifts himself. Don't worry about him doing that." many."

Hu Yueying's expression improved slightly, but Guan Quan responded indifferently.

It can be seen that this is not what he has in mind.

Yu Guanquan said that he didn't really care about the gift money, he just thought, if his uncle went to celebrate his birthday and his father also went, and drank two glasses of wine at the banquet, would he start berating them for "no Dutiful son, come on, make a fuss about the fact that one and two of them are clamoring to separate the family?It's all right if it's at my aunt's house, but in a restaurant, maybe where the embarrassment will be thrown.

Another point, if the aunt listened to one side and believed what my father said in a foolish way, and reprimanded these nephews, it would be difficult for him as a junior.

The family must be divided, but he also wants the reputation, right?He just didn't take the lead. He knew that he should have been tougher when the second brother mentioned the separation, and went out with the separation together.

Now that he is the only one working in the Guan family's old house, how could his father let him go so easily?I thought that I would alarm my grandfather, who would be reasonable and would definitely help him, but I didn't expect my grandfather to...

Thinking of this, Guan Quan's expression was a little sad, he sighed, and said, "That's the only way to go."

After a pause, Guan Quan asked, "Brother, how do you want to get to the town tomorrow? Walk?"

Guan Wen thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid it will take time to walk, and it will take some time to turn to Fumanlou at the entrance of the town. I'd better go by car. I'll ask Brother Yue later. Do you want to use it, if you can borrow it, we will go together tomorrow."

"Then please trouble brother." Guan Quan responded, stood up and said, "Then Yueying and I will go back first."

"Ah."

After Guan Quan left, Guan Wen went to Brother Yue's house without saying a word, and came back not long after, saying that the matter was settled.

But there was still worry on his face.

After dinner, the whole family chatted in the yard, Amei teased Yang'er to talk, Li Xin fetched hot water, Guan Wen squatted at Lao Guantou's feet and washed Lao Guantou's feet carefully. Scissors trimmed the toenails.

Li Xin wiped his face for the old juncture, brushed his hair, and asked Guan Wen, "Grandpa will go tomorrow too?"

Guan Wen responded, and Li Xin sighed: "Grandpa had an accident, and I didn't even talk to my aunt..."

Guan Wen paused, sighed slightly, and said, "Aunt Ming'er will know."

"Would you blame us?" Li Xin hesitated and asked: "Grandpa has become like this, I'm afraid I will feel uncomfortable..."

"It's okay, we just listen to what Gu's saying." Guan Wen twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Besides, Gu is not an unreasonable person. Grandpa is getting old...it's inevitable."

While talking, Guan Wen brushed off the toenails that had been cut off from Lao Guan, and then put the socks on for him and put them inside the cloth shoes.

Old Guan squinted his eyes and asked vaguely, "Who celebrates birthday..."

Li Xin smiled and raised her voice slightly, "Grandpa, it's my uncle's birthday, your son-in-law!"

"son in law……"

He laughed at the old juncture, and nodded his head in satisfaction.

I always went to bed early, and after lying on the rocking chair, I closed my eyes and fell asleep. Guan Wen carried him back to the house, covered him with a quilt, and closed the door lightly. After coming out, he washed himself with soap. hands.

Now Li Xin feels that the family has made more money, and has invested more money in life and sanitation. The bathroom built on the north side of the house has soap in it, and it is used for washing hands, face and bathing. My sister was not very old I am willing to use it, and now I know that washing people with soap is much more comfortable.

After cleaning his hands and feet, Guan Wen came back to the yard. After all, he had to get up early tomorrow, so Amei obediently washed up by herself and went back to the house.Li Xin coaxed Yang'er to sleep and was picking up the stools in the yard.

Guan Wenli watched her busy in the middle, Li Xin straightened her waist slightly, glared at him and said, "Just watch, don't you come to help?"

Guan Wen laughed: "It's just two benches, you can move them."

Li Xin snorted, didn't bother to pay attention to him, put the stool under the eaves and overlapped it, turned around and washed his face with hot water.

Guan Wenni went up to wash his face with Li Xin, looked at Li Xin's raw feet in the tub of water, and kept laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Xin said angrily, "Like a fool."

Guan Wen sat next to Li Xin, stretched his waist and said, "I have to get up early tomorrow morning."

"What does waking up early have to do with your smirking?"

Li Xin glanced at him, dangled his feet in the water for a while, added some hot water, and sighed comfortably.

Guan Wen looked at the pitch-black courtyard, the candlesticks placed by the threshold could only reflect the shadows of the two of them, but the dim environment also created a warm atmosphere.

Guan Wen let out a low sigh.

The voice was very soft, but Li Xin still heard it.She slightly raised her eyes to look at Guan Wen, and saw that his brows were slightly frowned, as if there was some melancholy that couldn't be solved, and his whole person immediately conveyed a sense of worry.

Wei Wei thought about it, and Li Xin asked tentatively, "Are you worried about your father?"

Guan Wen was startled, and after a while he smiled wryly and said, "Xin'er, are you the roundworm in my stomach?"

Li Xin snorted: "When you come back and talk to the fourth brother and the others for a while, you feel sleepy, not because of your father, but because of something?"

Li Xin said: "If he wants to go, he will go. Is it my brother? How can you stop him? If he doesn't go, then you have nothing to worry about. As for the matter of the separation of the fourth brother, neither of them came to you , so what can you do if you hide for a few days? It won't be too late until the day it really comes to your face."

While wiping his feet with a handkerchief, Li Xin looked at him and said, "Think about the positive side of everything, life will never be so miserable."

Guan Wen smiled wryly: "I haven't thought about taking care of those things yet."

"Then why are you frowning?" Li Xin looked at him suspiciously.

Guan Wen sighed softly and said, "Xin'er, didn't you notice it? Dad started to like to run to the village since last year, staying there all day long, talking to some old and young men. Throwing dice to gamble money for fun. If he just used it as a pastime, then that's fine, I won't talk about it when he is free to play, but now he..."

Li Xin put on her shoes and looked up at him.

Guan Wendao: "He is not missing an arm or a leg, and he is not too old. He is able to run and do his work, but he just leaves the field alone. If he doesn't manage his life well, he will be fine. It’s useless to play those tricks in the village. Guaidao’s fourth younger brother complained about him, and the burden of the three men in the old house was on the fourth younger brother’s shoulders. How could the fourth younger brother be happy? Not to mention Shu Xiu, the sixth younger brother who studied. The expenses of pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and the filial piety given by Mr. Zhang alone...these money is not born out of thin air. My father only wants to let the fourth brother separate and go out to live alone, otherwise no one will take care of the fields, and the family will not be able to eat. People do it, but why doesn't he restrain himself a little?"

Li Xin curled his lips, and murmured in his heart, isn't it all because you spent a lot of money back when you were walking the darts to get used to Guan Ming?Isn't he just waiting for his children to send money to him?He is still walking on the dream of relying on his father, who is an official and an official, to shake his prestige!
Speaking of which, Guan Zhicheng has been unaccounted for several times, but he has been in touch with that little Baihua lady?

Guan Wen shook his head helplessly: "I can't control Sixth Brother anymore, let alone Dad, they can't even listen to my words right now..."

Guan Wen paused, and said, "What I'm worried about is that Dad is addicted to gambling."

Li Xin sat up slightly.

"Ten bets and nine losses, he probably hasn't won a big price at the moment, and he hasn't lost too badly. But if one day he loses his eyes, he doesn't care about anything, and the rest of the matter will have to be paid." Those of us who are sons and daughters wipe his ass? It's like..."

Guan Wen's words came to an abrupt end here.

Li Xin looked at him solemnly.

"You want to use my father as an example, don't you?" Li Xin looked to Guan Wen and asked, "Afraid that one day he loses and loses everything?"

Guan Wen was silent for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Father-in-law was detained by the casino people at that time, and the thugs threatened his life, so mother-in-law had no choice but to sell you to raise money to save father-in-law... If father-in-law also met Such a thing, being detained and threatened with life, Xiner, how can I not save him?"

Guan Wen looked at Li Xin with helplessness, resentment, disappointment and sigh in his eyes.With such a father, what can he do as a son?Baishan puts filial piety first, even if he says he doesn't care about the affairs of the Guan family's old house, but if it really involves life-threatening matters, Guan Wen can't be cold-blooded and do nothing.

It was his father anyway, blood is thicker than water.
