Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 40 The pain of losing a child
Although it was the first time he saw Lin Zihao, Meng Fansheng could tell at a glance that he was by no means an ordinary farmer, and his demeanor could not be concealed even if he was wearing civilian clothes. Meng Fansheng couldn't help but take another look at him. Seeing his gaze towards him, such a keen feeling made Meng Fansheng sure once again that Lin Zihao was by no means an ordinary person, and the awe-inspiring righteousness in his eyes made Meng Fansheng's heart tremble. Can't help but win.

Since Meng Fansheng wanted to make friends, his words must be sincere, Lin Zihao is not a stingy person,
"Okay, brother, please, brother will definitely be there, and there will be a period later."

Lin Zihao clasped his fists, and walked out of the Fulu Restaurant together with Lan Erzhuang and Lan Lingxue. Meng Fansheng looked at the three people who had left, and sighed again, the words of someone outside the person were really not nonsense. What kind of person, it seems that he is definitely not willing to be under others, but he can follow Lan Erzhuang, it seems that Lan Erzhuang can't be underestimated,

"Zihao, it seems that Big Brother Meng hits it off with you very much!"

Lan Erzhuang also saw how much Meng Fansheng valued Lin Zihao. Although the two of them didn't say a few words, they could hear the sincerity in the final invitation, and the eyes they looked at were solemn and hopeful. Yes, this is enough to show that shopkeeper Meng has made friends sincerely.

"Yeah, Brother Meng is by no means an ordinary character. He treats everyone first-class. To be a small shopkeeper is really a talent. His boss should be even better if he can use such a capable person. I don't think so." He's just a wealthy businessman with a lot of money, I think he's someone with high status and authority, second brother, if you want to make friends with such a person, you should make friends with them deeply, if not, then just treat them as business partners, just acquaintances with nods."

"I understand!"

Knowing that Lin Zihao is reminding himself, he is by no means an expert in socializing, and Lin Zihao's worries are not superfluous, but to be honest, although Lan Erzhuang is simple and honest, he is definitely not short-hearted, and occasionally a little He has a black belly, so he still understands this point. If you play tricks with such powerful people, you can only die for yourself. Since you want to make friends, you should be sincere and sincere. That's really going to the hut with a lantern-not far from shit (death).

"Father, Uncle Zihao, we have too many things to buy, we have to hurry up, otherwise we won't be back until Uncle Sanshui and the others come over."

Lan Lingxue tugged at Lan Erzhuang, telling him to hurry up,
"Okay, okay, listen to my daughter, let's go shopping right away."

As soon as the voice fell, before the footsteps lifted, he was grabbed by a warm greeting,

"Brother Er Zhuang, it's okay, I caught you two, and I was wondering if I could run into each other, but I did, Miss Lan—"

"Uncle Li, why are you looking for me and my father on purpose? What's the matter?"

The person who greeted him turned out to be Li the shopkeeper of Hongfa Grain Shop. Judging from his hurried appearance, he must be in a hurry. Lan Lingxue secretly speculated that Uncle Li needed to come to stop her if there was something wrong with her family. Uncle's contact is the flour produced in his own space, but Uncle Li's small shop is not too big, and he also said that he would sell the three and a half bags of white flour at a higher price. Thinking about it this way, the flour should be enough for him It's been on sale for a while, and because of other things, Lan Lingxue really couldn't think of it for a while.

"Brother Er Zhuang, I see that you have something to do. We brothers are not lying. How much flour do you have at home? Can you sell it to your brother? The autumn grain is coming soon, and it won't delay your home for a few days." Even if you help brother, the price is negotiable."

Li Yongtai seemed to be in a hurry, and his honesty without any pretentiousness made Lan Erzhuang very heart-warming. Brothers should be like this. When you have something to say, you can talk, but I really can't decide on this matter. Lan Erzhuang stole a glance at his daughter,
"Uncle Li, how much more flour do you want? I don't have much left in my house, and I don't know if you have enough. It's okay to give you some flour first, but what's the matter with you asking for it so urgently?" ? If we can wait another ten or eight days, my family can get more food, do you think we should wait a few more days?"

"Miss Lan..."

"Uncle Li, seeing that you still see me, you don't want to call me girl Lan. Little basket is fine too. You make me nervous like this."

It's not for the sake of getting close, the relationship with Uncle Li is unnecessary, it's just that this girl comes and goes, Lan Lingxue sounds really awkward,
"Okay, Uncle, listen to you, or our little basket can talk, just shouting like that, Uncle feels comfortable."

Although it was just a simple title, Li Yongtai knew that this little girl really didn't care about herself,

"Little basket, uncle, to tell you the truth, I am really eager to use it. You can see that uncle has difficulties here. Back then, he didn't want to stay at home because of some conflicts with the family. So, with the clan After asking for instructions, I dispatched myself to this small town. The small grain shop in this town is the family property, and I just stayed in this shop. Because the shop is small, I can handle it by myself. There is no need to add people, it is quiet, but, although I have left the turmoil in the family, it is my root after all. Now that the family is in trouble, all the letters have come to me, and I have to reach out no matter what. When I was in trouble, the clan helped me, so I can't just stand by and watch the clan lose."

Li Yongtai let out a long sigh, feeling a little burdened, he didn't want to get rid of it, even if he didn't want to see the two at home, but he couldn't really be hard-hearted, thinking about these years, that sigh I can't take it back even if I accept it. It's really a crime.

"What kind of difficulty will you need flour from my house? According to Uncle Li, it should be a big problem. What Uncle wants is so urgent. I am a little curious, how can there be so much flour at home?" It is very useful, but, Uncle Li, I am just curious, if it is inconvenient for you when it comes to your family affairs, Uncle don't need to mention it."

Lan Lingxue was very puzzled, and felt a little unbelievable. Although she didn't understand the matter of the big family, she had seen it in novels. If something happened to the family, it seemed that she would have to pave the way everywhere and go to the officials. It is possible to solve it by paying money or something, but what does this have to do with the flour at home,

"There is nothing inconvenient to say, girl, you also know that my family runs a grain shop. Although the grain shop I manage is a small shop, you must not have imagined how many grain shops there are in my family. Quan Wuxia has almost one-third One of the grain stores is in the hands of our Li family, which is a bit long to say."

As if thinking of something bad, Li Yongtai frowned even tighter.

"Because my family is the second house in the clan, the patriarch is not my father, but my uncle, but my father's management ability is the most outstanding among brothers, so my father has always been in charge of the business of the clan, because I Although my grandfather created the family business, but because he was too cautious, he didn't do much. However, my father showed his management skills when he was very young, so he started to take over the family business when he was thirteen. He has established a business, and it is doing very well. The rice and grain shops in the family are in his hands, and they have opened all over the large, medium and small towns in the Wuxia Kingdom. The younger generation always has to grow up. My father took over the business very early. Therefore, he also wants the children in the family to get acquainted earlier, so that he can pick out one who can provoke the leader. There are a total of thirteen cousins ​​in the family from the oldest to the youngest. There are three brothers, I am the eldest, and the whole family ranks third, and the two of them, one is six and the other is eight."

When it comes to the three brothers, Li Yongtai is obviously a little entangled, and the indifference in his tone cannot be concealed.

"At that time, the ten-year-old children in the family had to inspect the shop with their elders and manage the rice grains. Gradually, we children were divided into superiors and inferiors. The three brothers in my family were very diligent and capable, and very Unity is outstanding among the cousins, but among the three of them, I stand out even more. After a long time, my ability is highlighted, and my father gradually shifted the burden on my shoulders. The idea is very simple, since I have the ability, I will do more so that my people can live a better life, but I didn't expect that my mistake was so outrageous."

Because as he walked, he said that he had already entered Uncle Li's shop at this time, and because there was no outsider's gaze, Uncle Li's sadness became heavier. Lan Lingxue regretted asking the reason, but she was a little curious about the situation. Therefore, he did not interrupt Li Yongtai's narration, but walked to the tea table on the left side of the shop very perceptively, poured him a cup of tea and brought it over.

"Our little basket is still smart, needless to say, I know I'm thirsty."

Li Yongtai picked up the teacup and took a big sip. He said he was thirsty, rather it was to relieve his emotions. Some memories are really hurtful, but they make people feel compelled.
"My two brothers saw that I was valued, but they were angry, so they gradually separated from me and started to use some small tricks on me. I didn't pay attention to their stumbling blocks. With my management ability, It has no effect on me at all, and because they are my brothers, I don't want to do anything bad to them when I haven't suffered any harm. It's not that I don't know how to do those tricks I just don't want to use it on them, I just think that they are still young, and they will understand what I mean in the future. We are brothers, and the bones are connected, but they don't think so, they...they It's just animals, tiger poison doesn't even eat their offspring, but they are not as good as pigs and dogs, how can I get my hands on my own nephew..."

Big tears fell, and Li Yongtai couldn't cry. No one has ever asked about these hardships. How many years have I carried them? If the child grows up safely and is bigger than a small basket, why do I have to be alone.

"They couldn't think of any way to deal with me, so they set their minds on my wife and children, thinking that if any of them got sick or injured, I would take care of the house and ignore the outside world, and they would have something to worry about." Taking advantage of this opportunity, these two people tricked my Dabao out, saying that they would take him to climb mountains. Children love to play, so of course they agreed. When they reached the middle of the mountain, they pushed the child down. The mountain is high, Dabao He was only a four or five-year-old child, but they said later that they just wanted Dabao to get hurt. Dabao is my only son, and I will go home to guard my son desperately. The business is over, who knows, things didn’t go according to their track, when the child rolled down the mountain, he hit a rock, and then he vomited blood and died. This is so ridiculous, do you believe it? The child was pushed down from the middle of the mountain, just hurting him a little? But the patriarch believed it, my father believed it, my uncles and brothers believed it, and I lost him from then on.”
