Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

"Sister, open the door, mom is calling for dinner."

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door outside.

Yun Xi withdrew her thoughts from the space and curled the corners of her mouth. As soon as she heard the voice, she knew it was her younger brother Yun Yi.

Yunyi is only 6 years old this year, but his personality is not like that of a child at all. He is very frugal and manages the household well.

Because he was young, no one told him that the family had made a lot of money in the past two years.

He always felt that his family was very poor. He was worried when he saw that the food and other things at home were better than those of the villagers.

I always feel that apart from him, no one else in the family can live.

When Yun Xi opened the door, he saw his brother frowning with his facial features almost twisted together.

She smiled and gently pinched the little guy's slightly chubby cheeks, "What's wrong? What makes you so worried?"

Yun Yi glanced at her and sighed deeply, "Sister, mother, ah..."

Seeing him hesitant to speak, Yun Xi knew that it must be because his mother had prepared a sumptuous meal today and he felt bad for her.

Pursing his lips and laughing, he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What happened to mom?"

Yun Yi looked back and saw that there was no one behind him, so he pushed Yun Xi into the room and closed the door. He pulled Yun Xi down and put his little hand to his mouth, close to Yun Xi's ear, and then lowered his voice and said,

"Sister, don't you know what mother did today?"

"What are you doing?" Yun Xi asked cooperatively.

The little guy counted on his fingers, "I killed chickens and ducks and made pork ribs, and also steamed a big pot of white rice. I used up a lot of the food you brought back from the city today."

As he spoke, his face was filled with pain. "Which family lives like this? Mom, are you not thinking about the next meal after this one?"

Yun Xi found it funny and pinched his little face again, "Why do you worry so much as a kid? Be careful not to grow taller. Just eat more later."

Yun Yi disagreed, "Go talk to mom later, mom will listen to you more. Uncle and uncle helped us today, and grandpa is here, just make some delicious food, don't do this in the future. This is not how we live."

Yun Xi almost burst out laughing, "Okay, okay, I'll tell mom later."

Fortunately, although this kid is stingy, he still knows how to repay kindness.

Yun Yi saw that his sister agreed, then he opened the door and walked out, "Sister, let's go, when I just came here, the food was on the table, let's go quickly."

As he said this, he did not forget to remind her, "You have to eat more later. You eat so little every day. You look so short. You were born on the same day as your second brother, but you are half a head shorter than him."

Yun Xi: “…”

What do you, a little kid, know? You are worrying about nothing all day long.

Can boys and girls be the same?

Besides, I’m not that short now.

14 years old, 160cm tall.

Although this height is nothing in modern times in the previous life, but in ancient times, this height is already very good, and it is definitely tall among people of the same age.

And it will surely grow longer.

The brother and sister came to the main room, where two tables had already been set up and everyone was seated, one table for the men and one table for the women and children.

The meal was served and placed on the table.

At first glance, the bowls of steaming rice are very tempting.

The dishes were even more sumptuous, including chicken stewed with mushrooms, duck in sour soup, braised spare ribs, and some stir-fried vegetables.

The portions were quite filling. The two large tables looked very appetizing.

Yun Xi suddenly felt hungry and swallowed subconsciously.

Shameful.

But then he saw that everyone was swallowing their saliva, even the younger brother who had just seriously complained about his mother wasting food was no exception, and suddenly he didn't think it was a big deal.

Anyway, I'm not the only one like this.

"Xi'er is here, come and sit down, let's eat."

As soon as Xi saw her daughter, she shouted.

Yun Xi responded and walked over to sit next to her mother.

Yun Songlin was the first to pick up the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Let's eat."

The others immediately picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started working hard.

For a moment, the only sounds were the clinking of dishes and the sound of chewing.

Yun Xi ate while observing. Although everyone was eating with big mouthfuls, they were not wolfing down the food, and their eating habits did not look ugly.

Especially her uncle's family of four, three of them were particularly concerned about their image. They were worried that they would dirty their clean clothes by eating too fast, so they ate with extra care.

Yun Shuai stared at the ribs and felt a little worried. He wanted to eat the ribs, but it seemed difficult to chew them with chopsticks. He looked at his sister and Yun Yi chewing the ribs directly with their hands, and his eyebrows were twisted into a ball.

Yunxi laughed at this, and her dimples were faintly visible.

His uncle's family is amazing. Apart from his cousin Yun Qiaoer, his uncle, aunt and seven-year-old cousin Yun Shuai are all more arrogant than the other.

The clothes you wear every day must be clean and you must dress very decently.

Her aunt never went to work in the fields, but her uncle would always tidy himself up before going to work in the fields. Even the farm tools were kept clean and tidy.

Yun Xi knew that people like them were called mysophobes in modern times.

But in ancient times, the couple was almost scolded to death by the villagers.

It is said that the illness of the young lady and the young man is due to hard work. If this continues, the whole family will starve to death sooner or later.

However, although her aunt did not work in the fields, she was good at embroidery.

Embroidering handkerchiefs or purses at home every day and then selling them in the city is much better than digging for food in the fields.

The family did not starve to death. Instead, they lived better than most people in the village.

"Xiao Shuai, the ribs taste better when you eat them with your hands."

As soon as Yun Qiaoer finished speaking, Yun Huaian, Li and Yun Shuai all looked at her, and then the three of them simultaneously shifted their gazes to the pair of greasy little paws and widened their eyes at the same time.

Then there were indescribable expressions.

It seems to be saying, you are definitely not from our family.

Yunxi had deep dimples, and she also felt that Qiao'er didn't look like a member of her uncle's family.

The living habits are very rough.

The little girl who was cleaned up by her aunt in the morning would come back covered in mud after a walk. I don't know how many times she was scolded, but she still did her own thing.

According to the little girl, "I can't change it, and I don't want to change it. Seeing my parents and Xiaoshuai spend a lot of time washing, cleaning, and dressing up every day, it's tiring."

In the end, Yun Shuai still did not eat the ribs with his hands, but only used chopsticks to eat them. Although it was a bit slow, it was better than having greasy hands.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. After everyone had almost finished eating, Yun Songlin spoke to Yun Huaiyuan and Xi and said,

"Second brother, second brother's family, although the Zhao family paid back so much money today, you still have to be frugal in your life in the future."

After these words were spoken, Yun Huaiyuan and Xi Shi didn't feel anything, but Yun Yi suddenly looked up and looked at his grandfather with sparkling eyes.

It seemed as if it was saying: Grandpa, you are right, you need to say more.
