Chapter 121 She felt sorry for her second uncle
He has a gentle and elegant appearance, could he really be a farmer who is good-tempered and easy to talk to?

Not necessarily!

It was just a matter of weighing the pros and cons at the time and having no choice because the situation did not allow it.

Lingxi agreed with this.

She knows more than Gu Si.

At that time, my biological father chose to go out and make a living, changing his name and surname, and his future and life were uncertain. Uncle Pei stayed behind to set up a household, take care of his widowed mother and younger brother, and get married and have children as usual.

It doesn’t matter whose choice is better, each has its own difficulties.

At that time, my father had to go through life and death countless times every day in the hail of bullets. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he had to leave his hometown and go abroad. If he wanted to come back, he had to change his name and appearance.

And the second uncle...

He lived in this small mountain village, eating simple meals, married an illiterate peasant woman, had children around him, and worked from sunrise to sunset.

Pei Yanning will have her in the future, and come rain or shine, she and Fourth Brother will be with him.

But Second Uncle——

Lingxi's tears suddenly fell.

Gu Si was startled.

"What's wrong? This is my fault. I made you cry so early in the morning."

Lingxi buried her head in his arms.

"Dad said that my second uncle is very elegant. He used to feel pain in his eyes when he saw those patterns of flowers and prosperity."

Gu Si was stunned.

Lingxi continued: "Second uncle is mean to dad, and dad is very happy."

Lingxi's tears were streaming down her face and she spoke incoherently.

At that time, when Pei Yanning saw the curtain made of various furs and skins that Uncle Pei had found at the door of the ice cellar, he insisted on finding a piece of cloth to cover it, and complained to Lingxi about it.

But when he learned that the curtain that challenged his aesthetic taste was made by his second aunt, he remained silent.

Besides the fact that he couldn't comment on her because she was his brother's sister-in-law, he probably also felt indebted and guilty towards his second uncle, and felt that he had been wronged!

It’s not that there’s anything wrong with Second Aunt Pei, but Second Uncle should have been a man who was elegant, graceful and unrestrained as the breeze and the moon.

As Pei Yanning's brother, he just feels sorry for her.

From these two short sentences, Gu Si also understood why Lingxi was crying.

She felt sorry for Uncle Pei.

I feel that my second uncle has been wronged over the years.

The same is true for Pei Jin...

I feel sorry for Pei Jin. If he is allowed to continue like this, he might become the second Uncle Pei.

Gu Si was so distressed that he comforted her, "Everything is fine now. Look, Dad is back, and so are we. From now on, everyone will just live the life they want."

Lingxi couldn't stop crying.

I don’t know if it’s because of my unstable emotions after pregnancy.

She tugged at Gu Si's clothes and stopped after a long while.

Her emotions came and went quickly, and she felt a little embarrassed after crying.

"I, I don't want to cry either. It's all his fault."

She looked down and poked at her stomach.

Gu Si felt distressed and amused: "Well, our Lingxi didn't do it on purpose, it's all his fault. Wait until he comes out, and Fourth Brother will help you teach him a lesson."

Pei Xuan had just changed his clothes and was about to go out of the room to get some water to wash up when he saw his father coming back from the wing room carrying a basket filled with a lot of locust flowers. He was very confused.

"Dad, didn't you say you wanted to send it to Lingxi?"

Uncle Pei paused.

"I just remembered that I haven't changed my clothes yet. I'll send them over after I change."

When Pei Jin and Pei Xuan left Lingxi's room, Second Uncle Pei and Third Uncle Pei had just separated at the door.

It was very lively outside last night.

The nearby villages organized themselves together and made a lot of noise.

Second Uncle and his friends saw Pei Jin, Pei Xuan and the others drinking and chatting with the lights on at night, and that many people were coming in and out of the village catching sparrows. They couldn't sleep either, and didn't care about the few sparrows, so they simply went straight into the locust tree forest.

Lingxi is pregnant now, and they want to find something good for her.

The locust flowers are blooming well recently.

It’s no coincidence that Lingxi likes locust flower honey.

"Oh." Pei Xuan didn't think much about it. Pei Jin brought out the towel basin and met his biological father face to face. Pei Jin, who was a meticulous observer, also found that Uncle Pei's eyes seemed to be a little red.

“Dad, take a rest for a while, I’ll ask for leave for you.

After making so much noise last night, I'm sure they'll be slacking off when they go to the fields today."

He subconsciously thought that his second uncle's eyes were caused by staying up late.

Uncle Pei paused, then smiled gently: "It's okay, Dad has not slept for days and nights before, this is just the beginning!"

Pei Jin: “…”

"You said it was in the past, but don't you see how old you are now?"

"No matter how old I am, I am still your father and I can knock you down with just one hand."

Pei Jin: “…”

Uncle Pei's emotions instantly disappeared, and he didn't go back to the house. He looked at Pei Jin and said, "How about Dad practice with you?"

He said this with obvious joking.

Pei Jin choked.

Pei Xuan instantly perked up when he heard this, and added fuel to the fire: "Come on, come on, fight, Dad, you and big brother have a fight, I haven't seen you fight in years."

Pei Jin looked at Pei Xuan and smiled very gently.

"How can I let Dad do it?

How about I play a game with you and let my dad comment on it."

Now it was Pei Xuan who was choked.

He stood up straight instantly, seeing Pei Jin's slightly flattering expression, he said in an embarrassed tone: "It's so dirty this early in the morning with all the fighting going on. Brother, aren't you the one who loves cleanliness the most?

Minghui likes cleanliness more than you do, be careful or Minghui will dislike you!"

Pei Jin glanced at him with disdain.

Lingxi heard the voices of her second uncle and the two brothers talking in the yard. When she went out of the house, she saw the scene of the father and his two sons being crushed one by one. She couldn't help laughing out loud.

Pei Jin Pei Xuan: "..."

Ah, this...

When Uncle Pei saw Lingxi, his gaze fell on her eyes that seemed to have been washed by water and paused for a moment. Seeing that she was smiling happily at this moment, he unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

"Lingxi is up?
Look what your uncle brought back for you."

Lingxi blinked, walked forward and hugged him. She really wanted to give her second uncle a hug.

She tried not to cry, "I am happy with whatever my second uncle brings me. I know my second uncle is the best and I love him the most."

Uncle Pei patted her head and rarely criticized her for being naughty.

Lingxi's attention was quickly diverted to the things in the basket: some locust flowers, a few jars of honey, and a beehive.

Lingxi likes the taste of locust flower honey.

However, locust flowers only bloom for a period of time, so you have to find a large locust tree forest. Otherwise, the honey collected by the bees will be mixed, and the honey you make will become a blend of various flowers.

Lingxi knew that this must have taken a lot of thought.

She held her second uncle's arm and said sweet words as if they were free.

Uncle Pei couldn't stop smiling when he heard this.

but--

He looked at Gu Si and saw that this time he was just standing there smiling and watching, not like before. He wanted to pull Ling Xi away directly, and he knew exactly why this happened.

His eyes became more relaxed and playful.

"When I just came back, I heard Minghui say that you..."

"Second uncle!"

Gu Si originally wanted to hold back and not interrupt the sentimentality of these two people who were called uncle and nephew, but actually had a relationship that was no worse than that of father and daughter.

He has taken a step back and feels that he has made a great sacrifice.

but……

Second uncle, this is not very kind of you!

Pei Jin Pei Xuan: "..."

Hahahaha!
