Chapter 7 Family
As soon as Yue Shan and his son walked into the village carrying fish one after the other, they ran into an old man in his 60s or [-]s.

"Fourth, did you find Shan Zi?" the old man asked with concern.

"Second uncle, I found it." Yue Laosi turned his body to reveal Yue Shan who was following behind.

"Second Patriarch." Yue Shan greeted politely.

This old man is not old, although he looks like he is in his fifties or sixties, his actual age is only in his early forties.He is the second uncle of Yue Laosi's family, and his name is also very characteristic of the times: Yue Erwa.

"It's good if you find it. I wanted to help you find it together, so I saved it. This child runs around when he is in good health. You should take good care of the fourth child." Yue Erwa said with an unhappy expression.

Yue Shan didn't say a word. From the perspective of the villagers, there was indeed something wrong with his behavior.It's not worrying for him to lie at home and run around when other people's children are all working in the fields.

If it was someone else's child, they would have already been beaten up, and Yue Lao Si had only this one seedling, and he was spoiled like a spoiled child.

"This kid went to catch the fish. Look, he caught it." Fourth Yue raised the fish in front of him, half to defend his son, and half to show off.

Yue Shan covered his face, he couldn't see it.He thought Yue Laosi would at least show off after eating fish, but he didn't expect it to start before entering the village.

"Fish?" Yue Erwa rubbed her eyes hard and came closer to see the large string of fish in Yue Lao Si's hand, and said excitedly: "It's really a fish. You just said that this fish was caught by Shan Zi, Shan Zi Can you catch fish?"

In this day and age, poor families could not eat meat once a year, and they generally suffered from night blindness, and became blind when it got dark.Just now Yue Erwa knew that there was something in Yue Laosi's hand, but she didn't see what it was.

"Yes, Shanzi saved an old Taoist priest when he was in his hometown, and that old Taoist priest taught him." Yue Laosi said proudly.

"Old Taoist priest?" Yue Erwa blinked her eyes, and suddenly showed a remorseful expression: "Is that the sick old Taoist priest? Oh, I would have bought medicine for him if I knew he could fish."

That facial expression and that action instantly killed all movie stars, and even Yue Shan almost believed that there really was an old Taoist priest.

Yue Erwa's words confirmed the authenticity of Yue Shan's words. So far, Yue Laosi has no doubts about the old Taoist priest, he just thinks that he is forgetful and forgot about it.

"Okay, okay, Shan Zi is promising." Yue Erwa touched Yue Shan's head affectionately, and said with a look of relief: "After mastering this skill, life will be easy. In two years, Er Weng Let me tell you a good family affair."

The old man completely forgot what he said just now about Yue Shan not doing his job properly.

"Hey... I'm causing trouble for the second ancestor. You can take some of this fish back to strengthen your body." Yue Shan smiled foolishly and motioned for his father to bring the fish over.

Fourth Yue, how could he be willing to do so, he clutched the willow stick tightly and remained motionless.In a hurry, Yue Shan grabbed a large herring and a few crucian carp and handed them to Yue Erwa.

"Oh, oh... I can't do it, I can't do it." Yue Erwa rubbed her hands back and forth on her clothes, refusing her mouth and staring at the fish.

"What can't be done, second ancestor, you have helped our family so much, a fish is nothing to honor you. Moreover, crucian carp is the most milky, and the thirteenth brother is only a few months old, and it is time to cook some fish. Give the fifth aunt some soup." Yue Shan forcefully stuffed the fish into his hand.

"This... this... I thank you on behalf of your fifth aunt. Oh, Shanzi has really grown up and sensible." Yue Erwa finally caught the fish, and praised Yue Shan as a flower in her mouth.

After bidding farewell to the thankful Yue Erwa, Yue Shan saw that Yue Lao Si still looked distressed, and said with a smile: "Father, are you still reluctant to part with those fish?"

"That's a fish..." Thinking of those fish, Fourth Yue wanted to slap his son hard, but he still couldn't bear it.

"Father, you have to have a long-term vision. A few fish are nothing. Anyway, I will catch them tomorrow after I finish fishing. The most important thing is to have a good relationship with the same clan. There are only four people in our family, and we need the help of the same clan very much." .” Yue Shan said earnestly:
"Give the second ancestor a few fish, and their lineage will be close to us in the future. If they encounter difficulties, they will definitely help if they can reach out. This cannot be exchanged for a few fish."

"I know this, but you gave too much, just a crucian carp." Yue Laosi said unconvinced.

However, this honest person didn't realize at all that what he should really pay attention to was why his son could say such words far beyond his age.

"All right, all right, next time I'll give him a small fish." Yue Shan said coaxing a child.

He gave Yue Erwayu naturally to build a good relationship with the other party.Yue Laosi's lineage has been passed down through two generations, and his strength is weak.

(Why is the single biography of the same line called Yue Laosi? Because in ancient times, even cousins ​​were counted together in the ranking of seniority. In the whole family, Yue Lao is four-way and four-way.)
Yue Erwa's lineage is very prosperous. There are seven sons alone, and now there are thirteen grandchildren.The youngest is the thirteenth brother Yue Shan talked about just now.

In ancient times, it was an undeniable truth that the strength of a large number of people is especially important for blood relatives who have not given five clothes.With few brothers in my family, I can only find a way to build a good relationship with my fellow clan.

There are many blood relatives in Yue Shan's family who haven't passed the fifth suit, his grandfather's generation alone has four brothers.There were more than 20 brothers in Yue Laosi's generation, and even more in Yueshan's generation.But the only ones who moved to Chang'an were the Yue Shan family and the second ancestor Yue Erwa's lineage.

The relatives from Yue Shan's mother's side did not follow, which means that only Yue Erwa's family can rely on the Yue Shan family with four surnames Ping.That's why Yue Shan wanted to establish a good relationship with him.

Another reason is more hidden, in order to buy Yue Erwa.After taking these fish, if someone asks about the old Taoist in the future, will he say he doesn't know?Even in order to close the relationship with Yue Shan, he would take the initiative to publicize the unwarranted deeds of the old Taoist priest.

I met many people on the road again, but this time Yue Shan did not share the fish with others.Elder Yue flaunted it to everyone, and the father and son knew that Yueshan knew how to fish before they entered the house, and the old Taoist priest became a mysterious expert in everyone's mouth.

In a short distance of 200 meters, the father and son walked for a quarter of an hour to get home, which shows how enthusiastic the villagers are.

"The heads of the family are back." As soon as he entered the door, Yue Shan's mother in this life greeted him with a smile on her face.A little luotou who was dressed more shabby than Yue Shan followed behind her.

No one knew what Yue Shan's mother's name was, and no one called him by his name after he got married. Everyone called her the fourth family.It has been useless for more than ten years, and she probably forgot about it.

She is just an ordinary peasant woman, working hard all day to make her appearance more than ten years older than her actual age.

Little Luobotou is Yue Shan's younger sister in this life, she has no name, and she was called by her girl like this since she was a child.

The little girl has a yellow and thin face, thin and withered hair, her hands are as dark as the old raven's claws, and the patched clothes on her body are not much better than that of a beggar.At this time, he was hiding aside and looking timidly at his father and brother and... those fish.

Looking at the little girl's heartbreaking eyes, Yue Shan's heart felt suffocated and inexplicably distressed.The six-year-old child only went to kindergarten in his previous life, and it was the time when he was carefree and loved by his parents.

In this world, instead of enjoying the love of her parents, she has to help the family at a young age.What he wears is remade from his father and brother's old clothes, and what he eats is also leftovers from his father and brother.

Just because the family is poor, just because she is a girl.

At this moment, Yue Shan had an idea, he must take good care of her, let her have a childhood like a normal child and then grow up.
