Chapter 33 Talk
Li Yu poured tea for the aunts, and then went to play with his younger brother. Brother Xu needed company even more.
Brother Xu saw that she was back, and reached out to her. Li Yu hurriedly returned the bag to him, giggling.
"Not broken, nothing missing, you count."
Brother Xu glanced at her, he really counted, and nodded when he saw that there was no damage.
Li Yu took out another small piece of wood and began to carve with a carving knife. She planned to make a different toy for her younger brother.
Such small things are also the exercise of basic skills. She has persisted for many years, and the hard work behind it is invisible to others.
Brother Xu is not talkative, Li Yu glanced at him, "Endorse my sister, my mother will test you later."
Brother Xu pouted.
"Good boy, do you really want to be dumb?"
Li Yu nudged him.
Brother Xu reluctantly agreed.
"Xu Yang, you also recite together."
"oh."
The two children recited books together, listening to the sound of reading aloud, Li Yu cut the knife quickly, with a relaxed expression.
There is no persuasion. Some pains take time to digest. What Li Yu can do is to accompany his younger brother and let him feel the love of his relatives. He is not alone, and that is enough.
I can’t finish it in half a hour, just to pass the time.
She likes these organs and doing carpentry work, and she is more interested in wood than in people.
Brother Xu played toys with Xu Yang while endorsing the book. The two played well. Xu Yang is a child who has suffered a lot. He is very sensible and takes care of Brother Xu everywhere. Brother Xu slowly accepts him.
"Xu Yang, you can also read."
"Well, my father is a scholar. He taught me to read for two years. I can't read all the characters, but I know almost all of them."
"You are also a poor child, you will learn to read with Brother Xu in the future."
"Thank you sister, are the second young master's relatives gone..."
"Just like you."
"When my parents passed away, I was similar to the second young master. I didn't talk. I think my parents didn't leave. My parents came to talk with me when it was dark."
Xu Yang means dreaming, the child cannot accept reality and has some hallucinations.
Li Yu looked at him with softer eyes, and stroked his head.
"Later, the village head and the others took care of me. It was alright at first, but then things got worse and worse. Everyone couldn't take care of themselves. If they couldn't support themselves, there was still food to support me, so they reneged on their vows."
If there is an oath, the parents must do their best for the village. The village promises to raise the children, but after a long time, I will break the oath when I have difficulties. People's hearts are unpredictable.
"Human nature can't stand the test. In the future, you will follow Brother Xu. As long as I have a bite to eat, you won't be hungry."
"I know, thank you sister, I am still blessed, otherwise how could I meet my sister."
Xu Yang smiled brightly.
"I hope my brother can be as strong and brave as you."
Li Yu looked at his younger brother with tenderness and compassion on his face.
"Brother Xu, Xu Yang is just like you. He has no parents and is deceived and bullied by the villagers. You see, he is stronger than you, so he has to learn from his strengths."
Brother Xu raised his small face to look at his sister, then at Xu Yang, threw him a piece of candy from his purse, stretched his arms around Li Yu, and stared at Xu Yang warily.
Xu Yang actually understood, picked up Tang Sai and said, "Be stingy, I won't compete with you for my sister."
Li Yu was overjoyed immediately, it seemed that it was right to keep Xu Yang.
Brother Xu smiled in satisfaction, and took the initiative to push his beloved toy to Xu Yang, meaning that if you don't compete with me for my sister, we are good friends, please play with toys.
Xu Yang happily played with Brother Xu again, he was the one who chattered non-stop, Brother Xu was silent all the time, but the two of them played well, Brother Xu's expression was very soothing.
Li Yu stayed with his younger brother without going anywhere.
The next day, Mrs. Wang entered the room and woke up Li Yu, who was still sleeping late.
Li Yu yawned, looked at the sky and nodded slightly, "Well, I'm doing well."
Ms. Wang sneered, busy getting clothes and washing water for her daughter.
After washing up, Li Yu wore a neat light blue lapel Hu suit with a corseted waist and a six-piece design on the hem, which did not affect horseback riding and archery.
The Taoist nun's head is combed, and the back of the head is tied with a silver filigree tassel hairpin. The tassels hang down on the back of the neck, which looks smart and pretty.
Mrs. Wang looked carefully and nodded slightly, "Go."
Li Yu went downstairs with her things.
Several people were drinking tea and talking downstairs by the window, and Du Yu listened respectfully.
"Father, brother, Mr. Du, you came really early."
Li Yu greeted everyone with a smile.
Du Yu got up to return the salute. When she saw Li Yu, she felt that the whole room was full of radiance.
"Miss Li, you're being polite, but I've been thinking about coming here yesterday to say hello to Uncle Shi, so I came to bother everyone early."
"You're welcome, sit down."
Li Yu was not polite, and handed him a few things, "Look, this is a hidden weapon I made, and it can be worn next to your body."
Du Yu opened the box and looked at it carefully.
There are arm crossbow hidden weapons, pen barrel hidden weapons, and hand-held crossbows, but the ones given to him are not made of refined iron, but wooden ones, and some key devices use iron.
Now she doesn't have a fine iron crossbow, and her clan brother took them away to **** the clansmen.
"Good stuff, I want them all, I want twenty sets of each."
Du Yu thought for a while and said.
"Not so much, I have to go back and find my brothers to build it together. I don't have tools and irons available at hand."
Li Yu spreads her hands, a clever woman can hardly cook without rice.
"Okay, anyway, we are going on the same road. I just asked Shibo for instructions. Let's go on the road together."
"Will that delay your business?"
"No, I took advantage of you walking with me. Besides, the female relatives also need to be taken care of. Someone under me can help take care of the female relatives, so as to reduce your burden, so that you don't lose sight of the other."
"Father, look at it."
"Your grandfather is not in good health. He really needs more people to take care of him. We should relax."
"That's right, my family has guards that are better than you, but at least there are many men who can help and take care of the female family members. You are too few."
Du Yu also chimed in.
"Okay, let's go together, do you want to see the carriage?"
"good."
Du Yu nodded happily.
Several people went to the backyard to visit the carriage built by Li Yu himself.
"Come on, keep your eyes open."
Li Yu gave him various demonstrations of the defensive and offensive functions of the carriage, as well as the functions of the interior decoration and how to disassemble it.
Du Yu's eyes lit up after watching it around, "I want it, I want ten."
"Go, what a dream, this is made of fine iron, very expensive, how can I give you ten cars. I will give you one carriage at most."
Li Rui rolled his eyes.
"One is fine, I will pay for it later and we can work together. You also have refined iron weapons, I know you do."
Du Yu's mouth was a little bit aggrieved, and you wouldn't sell me out.
"No, she didn't lie to you, she only had that one. The fine iron one was taken away by the sons to protect the old and weak. If you want better ones, you can only wait for us to go to the Wang family to settle down."
Brother Li laughed and said.
"So that's how it is, hey! The emperor was licentious and innocent, killing loyal ministers in vain, making the people miserable, really..."
Du Yu was also very angry, and his father was also a victim.
