After dinner, Liang Huaisheng finally remembered something.
He said to Yuan Shitou somewhat embarrassedly:
"Brother, could I do you a favor?"
Yuan Shitou has become immune to being called "Big Brother".
Since he has decided to be my brother-in-law, he should call me elder brother.
Although it was a bit unfair, he didn't stop him from remarrying.
"Just say what you want to say, as long as it's within my power."
"That's right," Liang Huaisheng said without mincing words:
"I'm staying at a friend's house and have been out for several days now."
He must be very worried. Could you please pass on a message to him for me?
Just say I'm recuperating at your house.
You can tell him the truth.
There's nothing to hide; this friend is trustworthy.
Yuan Shitou hesitated for a moment: "Where is your friend?"
It can't be too far, or I won't go.
He didn't want to leave his wife and children, and besides, his parents were getting old.
I'm afraid that if I leave for too long, I won't be able to take care of my family.
Liang Huaisheng didn't know how far this place was from the town below.
He said somewhat uncertainly, "It's in the town at the foot of the mountain."
Yuan Shitou breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, then tell me, who should I send the message to?"
Why don't you write a letter?
Liang Huaisheng nodded: "Do you have paper and pen?"
"Yes, there is," Yuan Gungun replied.
He hurriedly ran into the house and took out a pencil and a piece of white paper.
Liang Huaisheng was somewhat surprised. He looked at them and then began to write a letter.
Yuan Gungun watched from the side without making a sound to disturb them.
Liang Huaisheng handed the completed letter to Yuan Shitou, along with an address and a name.
"Brother, just find this person at this address."
He is my friend.
Yuan Shitou looked at it and nodded: "Then I'll go now."
He left without looking back.
Liang Huaisheng wanted to call out to him, but seeing that the man had already walked away, he gave up.
Tuantuan glanced at him and said, "Uncle Liang, don't worry, my father can read."
Liang Huaisheng nodded: "How did you know that's what I'm worried about?"
"Isn't it written all over your face?"
Tuantuan still held onto his clay doll.
Liang Huaisheng looked shocked: "You can see my expression?"
Tuantuan gave him a disdainful look:
"Don't look down on the child, the child is very capable."
Liang Huaisheng opened his mouth, but couldn't find any words to refute it.
Xiao Xiao finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Comrade Liang, don't pay attention to what that kid is saying, he's just talking nonsense."
Look at him, all he does all day is play in the mud, nothing else.
"It's not that amazing."
She didn't want her child to be targeted by others.
"Ping An, you should rest at home today. I'll take care of things at the school."
Yuan Ping'an stood up, wanting to say that he could do it.
But I found my mind blank and somewhat dazed.
He nodded again and sat down.
Xiao Xiao took Yuan Gun Gun out.
Yuan's mother and father were busy with other things, and when they left, they asked Yuan Ping'an to look after Liang Huaisheng.
The father and son looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
Tuantuan was playing in the mud nearby, completely unaware of what was happening here, as if she had already sunk into it.
After a long while, Liang Huai'an cleared his throat and asked:
"Ping An, are your family members treating you well?"
Yuan Ping'an nodded.
"Do you know anything about your background?"
I was talking about the past.
Yuan Ping'an glanced at him: "I've known how I came to be since I was a child."
It means I know that you forced my mother to have me.
Liang Huaisheng looked at him with some guilt: "I'm sorry."
He knew that Ping An must have had a difficult childhood.
It's easy to imagine that he must have received a lot of disdain.
"What are you apologizing to me for? You're the one apologizing to my mother."
Yuan Ping'an remained expressionless.
It's as if the child who's always smiling isn't him at all.
Liang Huaisheng didn't know how to continue the conversation; he was indeed not very good at communicating with children.
Especially his biological son, whom he hadn't seen for over a decade.
Moreover, he forced him to come.
"Are you really not planning to remarry?"
After a long time, the scene became somewhat awkward.
Yuan Ping'an shattered this tranquility.
Liang Huaisheng nodded, and then said:
"I really don't plan to get married. You're enough for me."
Yuan Ping'an rolled his eyes at him: "A man's words are deceitful."
I will not go back with you.
Liang Huaisheng was a little confused, then realized that he must have misunderstood something, and quickly said:
"I didn't say I was going to take you away."
As long as you don't leave, I won't force you.
If you're willing to come with me, I'd be happy to too.
Yuan Ping'an shook his head firmly:
"I will not go with you. This is my home."
I have loving family members and brothers.
Liang Huaisheng nodded and just looked at him without saying anything.
Yuan Ping'an asked somewhat disbelievingly:
Aren't you going to ask me why?
Liang Huaisheng suddenly laughed:
“I know you are living well in this family and they are taking good care of you.”
Your uncle and aunt treat you like their own child.
Judging from your clothes and your height, I can tell you haven't been wronged.
If I were to forcibly take you away, I cannot guarantee that I could take good care of you.
Rather than that, it's better not to take it with you; just let you live as you please.
Yuan Ping'an's originally wooden face immediately broke into a big smile.
"You're absolutely right, my family treats me very well."
They never looked down on me.
My aunt, in particular, not only gave me a nice name, but also taught me to read and write.
They taught me principles of being a good person and martial arts.
My uncle also taught me how to hunt in the mountains.
Therefore, I am a man who is both scholarly and martial.
Liang Huaisheng knew that the aunt he was talking about was that young woman.
Hearing his high praise for Xiaoxiao made me feel a little envious.
But she was still very curious and asked, "Your aunt is a very good person, and her perspective is more open-minded than that of the average farmer."
I just heard her say she was going to school. What is she going to school for?
Yuan Ping'an glanced at him, his face full of pride:
"My aunt is the teacher at the school, the only teacher."
Sometimes I also help out by covering classes.
So I'm also a substitute teacher.
Liang Huaisheng looked at him in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.
These mountain people are truly unassuming.
Yuan Ping'an curled his lip and dropped another bombshell.
"My aunt was bought by my uncle for 20 yuan."
My uncle is really lucky; he got incredibly fortunate to have married such a wonderful person as my aunt.
Liang Huaisheng picked at his ear, somewhat disbelievingly:
"What did you say? Your aunt was bought."
"Do you even buy and sell people here?"
Yuan Ping'an rolled his eyes at him: "What's the big deal?"
There's no road down this mountain; if I want to get a wife, I'll have to buy one from outside."
