The Peasant Gourment Chef - Chapter 87
The younger sister is married, and as the elder brother, Shulin has no trace of feelings so far. Not to mention Li Hehua’s inner worries, even Zhang Tieshan, who has always been less worried, has become anxious.
People in this era generally get married early. Many men become fathers at the age of 16 or 17. People like Shulin who are not married at the age of 25 or even have no partner can be said to be very strange, although Li Hehua feels that this age is very strange. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a family. After all, there are a lot of men and women left in the modern age. Twenty-five years old is not very big, but she is more worried about Shulin’s lack of enlightenment.
Although under the guidance of Li Hehua, Shulin is not autistic, but his personality dictates that he just doesn’t like to talk, he likes to immerse himself in his own world, especially when painting, a person can paint for a day without being hungry Yes, with this kind of character, I can’t expect him to go out and get in touch with girls. The most worrying thing is that he doesn’t have that idea. In his thinking, there is no such thing as a biological child.
Li Hehua has a headache when she thinks of Shulin’s emotional incompetence. She is really afraid that he will never find a woman who loves him, takes care of him and has the same heart with him. If they get old and die in the future , What can I do if he is left alone?
Zhang Tieshan wanted to arrange for a girl to marry Shulin directly, but Shulin had no intention of this and refused directly, “I don’t want to get married, father, mother, you all know my character, how can I take good care of others like this? Marry? When I came back, I also harmed other girls.”
Zhang Tieshan was silent. If Shulin really didn’t want to, it would be unfair for other girls to force him to marry him, so he had to give up the idea.
In this way, Shulin became a headache for the whole family. Just when Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan were already preparing for Shulin to be alone for the rest of their lives, there was a girl who came to propose marriage on her own initiative.
The person who came was Fang Yayun, the owner of Moxiangzhai, the largest bookstore in town.
Moxiangzhai’s reputation is very big, and it is not lost to Li Hehua’s restaurant reputation. Moxiangzhai specializes in selling all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other elegant things. The most popular place for scholars to buy things is Moxiangzhai. Xiangzhai, because his family has a complete range of categories and good quality, the most important thing is that the price is very fair, so this study is very popular among scholars.
The original owner of Moxiangzhai was Fang Yayun’s father, but unfortunately, Fang’s father fell ill and died when Fang Yayun was fourteen years old. Fang’s mother, who was very affectionate with Fang’s father, couldn’t bear the blow and went to hang himself. The three Fang Yayun brothers and sisters remain.
Fang Yayun is the eldest, and the next pair of twins are only eight years old. Relatives see that Fang’s father and mother have gone, leaving only three children, so they pay attention to the study and try to occupy the Fang’s study.
At this time, Fang Yayun, who was only fourteen years old, stood up in order to keep his father’s lifelong efforts, dealt with relatives, and independently supported the study, using the money earned from the study to raise his younger siblings.
Fang Yayun managed the study very well, even better than when her father was alive. The younger siblings were also well-bred, and relatives in the family did not dare to provoke the three siblings again, for fear that Fang Yayun would fight with them.
It is also because of this that Fang Yayun did not get married when she reached the age of marriage.
In this era, when a woman is twenty-two and has not married yet, people around you will look at you in a strange way, and it is normal to point and criticize constantly. Fang Yayun has been able to persist until now, and I have to say that she is a very tough and strong boy lady.
The reason why Li Hehua bought a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for Shulin when he was a child was because he knew the owner of Moxiangzhai, who was also Father Fang. I was also concerned about this, and naturally I knew what happened to the Fang family later.
Li Hehua admired this little lady who stood up to take the lead and raised her younger brother and sister at a young age. In the few encounters that followed, she was even more fond of this little lady who was modest, generous, and capable of advancing and retreating.
But she didn’t expect that this little lady who made her so fond of, actually came to propose marriage by herself today.
Fang Yayun gave Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan a respectful salute, “Uncle and aunt, Yayun is uninvited today. I hope uncle and aunt will forgive me for the rudeness.”
Li Hehua hurriedly pulled the person to sit down, “Don’t be too polite, good boy, just sit and talk.”
Fang Yayun pursed her lips and clenched her hands tightly into fists under her sleeves. No one knew how bewildered and shy she was at the moment, and no one knew how much courage she took to step into Zhang’s door. . But she had to come. She was afraid that if she didn’t come again, he would belong to someone else, and she would never have a chance in her life.
She wanted to try everything she could.
Desperately pinching his hand, Fang Yayun tried to keep himself from stuttering, and said the words that he had practiced thousands of times in his heart, “Uncle and aunt, Yayun came here today to propose marriage for me, I hope my uncle and aunt will give me a favor. Ya Yun has a chance.”
Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan looked at each other and couldn’t describe their complicated feelings.
How could they have thought that such a young lady would come to propose a marriage on her own and want to marry Shulin?
Li Hehua confirmed very euphemistically: “Yayun, you…you know our Shulin?”
Fang Yayun had a thin blush on her face, and she nodded shyly, “Uncle and auntie, Young Master Shulin bought books and ink, paper, ink, and paint at my house.”
Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan suddenly realized that they knew each other like this, no wonder, otherwise, how could they have attracted the love of the little lady because of Shulin’s dislike of going out and socializing?
Fang Yayun bit her lower lip and decided that she must express her feelings today, otherwise she will regret it for the rest of her life.
“Uncle and aunt, I know that Ya Yun’s actions are too rude, and he is not too reserved for his daughter’s family, but Ya Yun really has no choice. Ya Yun is afraid that if he doesn’t do this, he will miss Young Master Shulin. To be honest, Ya Yun I have liked Young Master for many years, since Ya Yun was fifteen years old, and every time Young Master goes to the study is Ya Yun’s happiest time.”
Fang Yayun blushed uncharacteristically because she revealed such a daughter’s thoughts, but she still tried her best to express her sincerity, “Yayun is in love with the son, but Yayun can’t say it for so many years, Yayun wants to support the bookstore and raise his younger siblings, Therefore, I can’t get married, so I can only bury my feelings in my heart, but Yayun didn’t expect that the son has never been married, so he always has a hope in his heart.”
Li Hehua’s inner shock is indescribable. It turned out that when they didn’t know it, there was a little lady who liked their book forest so much. If the little lady didn’t say it herself, who would know?
Zhang Tieshan’s eyes moved slightly, he shook Li Hehua’s hand and sighed.
Fang Yayun blinked away the tears she couldn’t help but continued: “But Yayun is lucky, the son hasn’t gotten married yet, Yayun has waited. Now Yayun’s sister is married, and the younger brother is also married and stabilized. , The younger brother of the study can also handle it, Ya Yun is already free, so Ya Yun wants to try, try to see if he can…”
I didn’t say the next words, but Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan all understood. While they were shocked by this unknown feeling, they also felt distressed for this little lady’s forbearance. They understood that they could make a woman say this by herself. How much courage does it take to speak unspeakable words and come to propose a marriage in person? This desperate decision is not something that ordinary people can do.
However, Shulin’s affairs are not up to them, and everything depends on Shulin’s intentions. If Shulin is unwilling, no matter how deep this little lady’s feelings are, it is useless.
Li Hehua pursed his lips, clapped the hand of this brave and resolute little lady, and said to her gently: “Yayun, uncle and aunt like you very much, and appreciate your behavior, if possible, we are very I hope you can become our daughter-in-law, but my family Shulin has a weird temperament and is still unwilling to get married, and we can’t decide for him, so this matter still needs Shulin to speak in person, can you understand?”
Fang Yayun nodded, of course she understood, when he didn’t know, she had already understood all his character, hobbies and habits clearly, what kind of person he was, I’m afraid she was the person who knew best apart from his family . She didn’t come today to seek the approval of her uncle and aunt. She knew that he was the one who could really make the decision, so she came to express her feelings to him in person. He said it, so it will not regret for life.
Li Hehua called out Shulin in the painting and calligraphy room, and told Shulin about this, Shulin was immediately stunned, and Mumudi didn’t know what to say.
Li Hehua patted his ignorant son, “Go on, people have been thinking about their hearts for so many years, and being able to come to the door to express their thoughts in person must have taken all the courage, you have to talk to them well, at least you have to listen to them before they finish. make a decision.”
Shulin’s face turned red to the point of his ears. He nodded at a loss, and went into the main room with a stiff body, where a little lady who liked him was waiting for him.
Li Hehua took Zhang Tieshan’s hand and said to him with infinite worry: “You said, will Shulin agree to others? After all, the girls are not bad at all, and they have come to propose marriage in person.”
Zhang Tieshan pondered for a moment, shook his head, and told the truth: “I have a very small chance that Shulin will agree, this stinky boy is just not enlightened!”
Li Hehua has no bottom in his heart, so he can only read the book forest.
Shulin and the little lady talked in the main room for nearly half an hour. In the end, the little lady came out first, but her eyes were red. She gave Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan a salute, “Uncle and aunt, Ya Yun is disturbing today. , Ya Yun said goodbye first.”
Seeing the little lady like this, what else could Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan not understand?
In the main room, Shu Lin sat dazedly until Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan came in, and then he lowered his head and said, “Father and mother, I have no feelings for other people, I will delay other people’s little lady like this, marrying me will not be good. Happy, so I declined.”
Li Hehua patted him on the shoulder and didn’t say anything more. It was Shulin’s own choice and they couldn’t interfere.
Although Li Hehua understands, he still regrets it in his heart. Such an excellent little lady likes her family’s book forest. It would be great if she could be her daughter-in-law. It’s a pity…
But the final development of the matter was beyond Li Hehua’s expectations. The little lady did not give up, but “chased” the book forest.
Shulin went out to sketch, and the little lady followed him with her baggage and prepared food and drink. She didn’t disturb Shulin, so she quietly followed behind him and watched. The food that came was handed to Shulin to eat. Even if Shulin refused, he just smiled and didn’t care, but next time he would prepare seriously and continue to follow Shulin.
When Shulin didn’t go out, the little lady would come to visit Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan with gifts. She didn’t ask to see Shulin, but just talked to Li Hehua and his wife.
Li Hehua admired the courage and determination of this little lady very much, so she was happy to see it succeed, neither intervening nor blocking, but would leave her to have a meal when the little lady came to visit, and give her to the little lady when she left. She packed some food she made herself to take home.
Every time Shulin sees the little lady, his eyes are full of helplessness, and he has persuaded her hard-heartedly, but seeing that she does not listen to the persuasion, he gives up, and directly turns into ignorance, the attitude is the same as that of a relative from home. . As for the little lady, she wasn’t angry at Shu Lin’s ignoring attitude.
Li Hehua looked at the two children, shook his head with a smile, and let them go.
In this way, the little lady became a follower of Shulin. She followed Shulin all over the mountains, rivers, and rivers, to see all the beautiful scenery in the world, and taste the customs of the world. There is always a thin figure behind Shulin, no matter the weather.
When Shulin was twenty-eight years old, he took the initiative to find Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan, and said a word, “Father, mother, I want to marry her, you can help me come to propose marriage.”
Li Hehua was surprised and delighted, “Shu Lin, are you serious?”
Shulin nodded.
Li Hehua: “Then are you marrying the little lady because you like her, or are you married to someone who can’t stand the little lady?”
Shulin smiled lightly, and there was a love that had never appeared between his eyebrows, “Mother, I will only marry because I like it.”
Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan looked at each other and saw excitement in each other’s eyes.
Li Hehua asked with a smile, “Didn’t you say you didn’t like her before? Why do you like her now?” In fact, she was wondering how Shulin got enlightened. She thought that he would never understand what like and love were all his life.
Shulin pursed his lips, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and said in a low voice, “I didn’t think I liked her before, but she didn’t follow me because her younger brother and sister had a difficult childbirth, I…I… “…” In the two months when she didn’t follow him, he would always look for her figure subconsciously, and found that she would be very uncomfortable when she was not around, and he couldn’t calm down when he was doing things. I can’t even draw my favorite painting.
He thought he was not used to her suddenly not following around, so he got used to the days without her, but two months later, he was still not used to it, and he missed her more and more, missed her every move, missed her ‘s frown and smile.
It was only now that he discovered that he remembered everything about her so clearly.
He misses her very much by his side.
At this time, he finally knew that the little lady who said she was going to marry him had successfully entered his heart and could never get out again.
Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan understood what he meant without Shulin saying what was in his heart.
Their book forest finally got enlightened and understood what **** is.
Li Hehua was so happy that his whole body was full of energy, and he didn’t care about anything, so he followed Zhang Tieshan to discuss the marriage of Shulin and Fang Yayun. Finally, when Shulin was twenty-nine years old, he took Fang Yayun, twenty-six years old. Mrs. Yun married and returned home, and in March of the following year, Ya Yun gave birth to a pair of twins for Shulin.
Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan have complete children and grandchildren. They don’t worry about anything else every day, so they bring their children to Shulin and Rourou. Occasionally, the old couple will go out to play together. The life is very leisurely, until the youngest grandson becomes a family. , Li Hehua, who was already gray-haired, did not get up this morning, quietly closed his eyes, and left this world forever at the age of eighty.
Zhang Tieshan, whose body is still tough, took off his shoes and lay down beside his wife who had loved him all his life on the day when Li Hehua was buried, held his wife’s no longer soft hand, and closed his eyes with a smile.
