The flowering period works

Chapter 193: Self-Sacrificing Spirit

    

itable candidates to help us find someone for our village" Mr. Wen nodded, "I've been keeping an eye out, slowly looking around. I'm sure I can find a suitable one." 。" That's great, these kids are..."Little Fu is filial to grandma, grandma don't cry, Uncle isn't filial, Little Fu is filial!"

Jiayin raised her small hand to wipe the tears from her grandmother's eyes. The two embraced, but their tears flowed even more freely.

Outside, Li Lao'er and Li Lao'san were also secretly wiping away tears.

The fourth brother was still young. When he became sensible, the eldest brother had already gone out to study and wasn't close to him.

But they spend the most time with their eldest brother and have the best relationship with him.

My big brother is intelligent, polite, cheerful and loves to joke around. Everyone praises him as a good big brother.

But this older brother became the family's heart disease!

If Big Brother has some hardship, that's alright. But if he truly covets fame and fortune, and abandons our family, then we can just be heartbroken. But what about me!

This night, no one in the Li family slept soundly.

After breakfast on the second day, when the sun rose in the east, Li Lao Si and Jia Yi hurried back.

Everyone in the family looked at them expectantly. Li Laosi said, “Mother, that Miao Lao Da’s daughter-in-law really did sell herself to the Chu family in West City. She probably didn't dare to lie! I wanted to go see my older brother, but I felt it wasn't appropriate, so I just came back."

Li Lao's eyes were bloodshot, clearly showing that she hadn't slept a wink last night.

She thought for a moment, then said, "Don't worry everyone, it's not like we haven't waited all these years. You can all take turns coming into the city when you have free time and slowly inquire about your elder brother. Don't rush to recognize him. It's best to figure out why he hasn't come home for so many years."

"Yes, mother, we understand." Several of Li Lao Er's responded in unison. Li Lao Si and Jia Yi also hastily finished their meal and went to work.

The orchards and grain fields on the mountains, as well as the riverside plains, were all bustling with activity. The valleys were so crowded that it was impossible to leave temporarily.

Even knowing about Big Brother's news, they couldn't just abandon everything.

After all, this is the village's business, the village's fields. It can't be delayed because of their family alone, holding everyone else back.

All day long, Jia Yin transformed into a little shadow, following her grandmother wherever she went.

Sometimes she'd be hungry, sometimes thirsty, and sometimes she'd wet herself. She'd constantly cry out for her mother's milk. It really left Old Lady Li with no time to think about anything else but taking care of her.

In the evening, when the whole family returned from work, Old Li called Old Li Si and said, "Tomorrow, you should take some time to go into town and have a look. Come back early and report what you've heard so that everyone can rest assured."

Li Laosi was curious, how come his mother suddenly changed her mind.

"Your daughter was afraid I would think too much, running me around all day, and even secretly peed her pants! You guys better solve this quickly, don't worry about whether your eldest brother comes back or not, just rescue your old mother first!"

Everyone was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

Jia Yin covered her face with her hands and nestled in her father's arms, refusing to come out.

As the darling of the Li family, she sacrificed her reputation for nothing more than to spare the old woman a moment's heartache.

Nobody was grateful, and they even made fun of her for wetting herself!

Finally, laughter returned to the Li family after Jia Yin's sacrifice.

The next morning, Li Laosi took a day off with the village head and went outside the village. He hadn't walked far when he bumped into Mr. Wen.

Mr. Wen sat in the carriage, accompanied by three companions of a similar age, all looking like scholars.

Mr. Wen chuckled and said, “Fourth Brother, where are you headed”

"Oh, I was just bored and came out for a stroll." Li Laosi didn't want to give a reason, so he cupped his hands and bowed to the crowd.

Unlike the mare pulling the carriage, who greedily ate roadside grass, she had walked a few steps when one wheel fell into the ditch, and the carriage was about to overturn.

Mr. Wen and the others exclaimed in surprise, all grabbing onto the carriage together.

The coachman whipped the horse and urged it forward, but the horse wouldn't budge.

At this time, Li Lao Si jumped directly into the ditch, raised the carriage box with both hands, and pushed it upwards and forward. The horse was forced to take two steps towards the middle of the road, and the carriage was back on the path.

The three readers were astonished, looking at Li Laosi with wide eyes.

"Brother, are you alright Did you hurt your arm"

"Yes, you just brought the carriage up like this"

"This is too impressive, his arms must have the strength of 500 jin."

"There should be a thousand jin, we four only have five hundred jin, and then there's the carriage too."

Who says scholars don't gossip Li Lao Si was driven mad by their chatter, his head aching from the incessant noise. He patiently replied, "I'm just naturally strong. It's nothing but lifting a car trunk, a small gesture."

Having said that, he was about to take his leave, but Mr. Wen stopped him and whispered, "Jiaren is about to start studying. I contacted the academy; several of our friends' children are already there."

Li Laosi understood, and immediately jumped into the carriage, smiling. “Mister came quickly, originally there were no spots left in the Onsen Valley. But a guest who had reserved a small wooden hut couldn’t come due to an unexpected event, so you gentlemen can enjoy yourselves for a day.”

Mr. Wen and his three friends were all delighted, laughing and hurrying towards the valley.

At this time, the guests had just arrived, the front wasn't crowded, and the granary was relatively quiet.

Li Laoer was also delighted to see Mr. Wen, and naturally everything went smoothly. Several people's cards weren't taken at all, and they directly entered the mountain valley.

Li Laosì was afraid that his mother would be worried at home, so he had someone go back and send a letter.

Last night, the family members decided that one person would stay home each day to look after things. At least they wouldn't burden Jia Yin, the little girl, with all the chores of entertaining guests. So today, Jiarren is staying home "on duty."

I heard that Mr. Wen brought people over and also found a school for Jiarren, Mrs. Li was overjoyed.

She closed the courtyard gate and went to the valley with her grandchildren.

Just so happened that Uncle Wang Si was in charge of patrolling the village today. We eat together every day, he's definitely one of our own! A few simple instructions and I wouldn't have to worry about home at all.

In the valley, Mr. Wen was chatting with a few friends, hot tea and snacks were promptly brought over.

Before the tea was half drunk, fresh fruit was brought to wash and serve.

Several friends exclaimed, “We’ve heard rumors about your business here, but we didn’t believe it. It turns out to be such a wonderful place!”

Mr. Wen shook his head with a smile, "You misunderstood. This isn't my industry, it's just that I get along with the locals here like family. As you know, I arrived in Jiangnan half a year late because I encountered some trouble on the road. Luckily, I also met these righteous folks who came to my rescue. If not for them, I'm afraid I would have starved to death in Jiangbei."

"Oh, is there such a thing" Everyone was surprised because the Wen family's background wouldn't lead to such danger.

Just then, Jia Ren arrived at the wooden house, and Mr. Wen beckoned him to come in.

“This is a disciple I picked up on the road, preparing to inherit the mantle of the master. This child is from this village and is very diligent and hardworking. I hope you will all take care of him in the future.”

Jiārén wore a half-old long robe. He was young and full of vigor, standing tall and elegant with a serene and peaceful expression in his eyes and brows.

He raised his hand and bowed to the crowd, "Greetings, gentlemen."

The person closest to him wanted to help him up, but when he reached out, he grabbed empty air.

The man jumped in surprise and blurted out, “What happened to this child's hands”
