Upon hearing this, Doroo's eyes blazed with fury: "Who, who dares to bully you? Tell me, and I'll slap them to death!"
Duoxi was also unhappy. Duoji was his first younger brother, whom he had raised since childhood. Bullying Duoji was the same as bullying him.
Duoxi: "Duoji, tell me, who is so blind? We must have been too lenient with them before. How dare they bully you? This time, we'll beat them until they cry for their parents."
Duo Shou asked with concern, "Are you injured?"
Dorje shook his head, looking aggrieved: "I'm not injured."
Dofu exuded a cold aura: "Doji, are the people who bullied you from our team?"
The Yu family's children were the darlings of the village. Whether it was their own martial arts skills or the influence of the Yu family, the villagers would always warn their own children not to mess with the Yu family's children.
Under these circumstances, Duofu felt that the person who was so blind as to bully Duoji was most likely someone who had come from outside.
Dorje said with a wronged expression, "He's from town. My mom told me to call him Uncle Shen. He climbed over our wall, and it was obvious he wanted to steal things from our house. I was so angry that I hit him, but I couldn't beat him. He kept laughing at me, saying I was too weak."
The fire in Duolu's eyes subsided somewhat, and he asked with confusion, "Uncle? Is he family?"
Dorje shook his head: "I wanted to use the Taiyi Heart Sutra to show him what I'm capable of, but Mom won't let me."
Duo Shou: "Then it's not that. People in our family either practice the 'Bright Moon Heart Sutra' or the 'Taiyi Heart Sutra.' If he were one of our family members, Auntie wouldn't have stopped you."
After the Yu family children started elementary school, they would go hunting in the Ten Thousand Mountains every year. Sometimes they would fight with people of the Jing generation and learn about the situation of their family members.
Duoxi stroked her little chin, pretending to think: "If he's not from our family, then he must be an uncle like Erdan's dad. I'll try to find out who he is next time he comes over."
Duofu: "Duoxi is not good enough. If I'm not mistaken, it should be Uncle Shen who went hunting in the mountains with the team several times. He is indeed very skilled."
Before the rainstorm, Shen Yan had come to Shangfen Brigade several times, always to go hunting in the mountains with others. Each time he returned, the person who hunted the most, besides Gao Shujing, was Shen Yan.
As the eldest child in the Yu family, Duofu often went hunting in the mountains and had also gone hunting with the team twice, so he knew about Shen Yan.
The remaining children, including the twins, were too young to have gone hunting with their families in private; they had never gone into the mountains with the hunting team.
Several of them had seen Shen Yan in the group and knew he was very powerful, but they had never seen him in action.
Duolu patted Duoji's little shoulder: "Duoji, you have to work harder to practice martial arts. You can't disgrace the Yu family. From today onwards, I will train you."
Among the children, Duofu is the most skilled, but Duolu is the fiercest fighter. Every time Duoji spars with him, he gets beaten so badly that his whole body aches.
Upon hearing this, Dorjee began to have second thoughts, but Dorjee was not someone Dorjee could refuse so easily. Dorjee was forced to become Dorjee's sparring partner, and was beaten until he howled every day.
After washing up and lying in bed that evening, Yu Rujia asked, "How many more days until you finish what you're working on?"
Gao Shujing reached out and put his arm around his wife: "Two or three days should be enough, what's wrong?"
As Duofu and the others have grown up, most of the housework has been taken over by the children. When Gao Shujing goes out, he no longer has to worry about tiring Yu Rujia out and rush back as before.
He just got back for dinner right on time and didn't know that Shen Yan had come by today.
Yu Rujia: "Director Yu of the power supply station sent Shen Yan to visit today to thank you for your help some time ago."
"On the way back, we ran into Zhang Pandi. Shen Yan's eyes were fixed on her as if they were part of her body. He stared at Zhang Pandi without blinking."
“After Zhang Pandi left, he asked me to be his matchmaker. How could I do such a thing? Besides, there’s a ten-year age gap between them, so I really couldn’t bring myself to ask.”
Gao Shujing: "Shen Yan is a deputy section chief, earning more than eighty yuan a month. He has a decent appearance and is upright and honest. Apart from being a bit old, he has no other problems."
“I’ll come back early tomorrow and go to town to see Shen Yan. I’ll ask him to find a chance to get in front of Zhang Pandi. If Zhang Pandi doesn’t dislike him, then things will have a chance.”
Although Shen Yan is a bit dark-skinned, that's because he trains his men outside every day and gets tanned. After all, only one in ten thousand people can avoid getting a tan, and he wasn't one of those ten thousand.
In terms of appearance, he is by no means ugly.
Yu Rujia: "It's done. I'll leave this to you."
A few days after Gao Shujing spoke with Shen Yan, Shen Yan brought some things to the Yu family. By then, Gao Shujing had finished his work outside and resumed his daily routine of repairing things at home.
When Dorje saw him come in, he was indignant. It was because Dorje had bullied him last time that his second brother had been giving him every opportunity to train him, and he was being beaten badly every day.
Yu Rujia patted his little head: "Don't have a dark face, that's rude. Greet Uncle Shen."
Dorje forced a fake smile: "Hello, Uncle Shen."
Shen Yan was quite fond of Dorje, this energetic little rascal: "Dorje, I'm here again. I brought you some toys. See if you like them."
Shen Yan brought the most popular tin toys from outside. Before leaving, Gao Guojing gave each of the little ones a tin toy. Two or three years later, those toys were worn out from being played with.
Upon seeing the new toy that Shen Yan brought, Dorje's eyes lit up, and he wanted to take it, but then he remembered something and looked up at Yu Rujia.
Shen Yan shoved the toys directly into Dorji and Duole's hands: "Uncle Shen's toys are for you two brothers, not for your mother. You can keep them."
Yu Rujia patted Dorje and Dole's little heads: "Now that you've received Uncle Shen's gift, can you take Uncle Shen to visit the team?"
Shen Yan came here to make his presence known to Zhang Pandi, and it would be most appropriate for him to accompany the two kids, Duoji and Duole, out to play.
The two little ones, unaware that they were about to become someone else's stepping stone, happily accepted the toys, instantly erasing all of Chen Yan's unease.
Dorje patted his chest and said, "Uncle Shen, I've been in the team for several years, I know it very well, I'll take you to play."
Du Le, looking silly, touched his little toy. Hearing his older brother's words, the little guy stretched out his chubby little finger and invited, "Play, play, go play."
The two young men said a few words and then walked out.
When they returned, the two little ones were already getting along with Shen Yan like old friends, without any awkwardness. They kept calling him Uncle Shen.
