Struggle in Ancient Times

“Little brother, how is it? did it look good?” Liao Shi happily showed off the finished product in front of Liao Tingyu.
“That’s right. Big brother is really good.” Liao Tingyu looked at the bean curd and said, “Let mother cook this for us to eat. If you think it tastes good, we can sell it in the town.”
Liao Shi was happy with his little brother reply, “Okay. I will give it to mother, but how do we cook this thing?”

“Just make it like cold noodle.” Liao Tingyu said without raising his head.
The whole family was very happy with the new food, but they were a little unsure how to sell the bean curd. In a day, Liao Shi could only make hundred sheets. They didn’t if it would be enough.
Liao Tingyu thought this thing was new and rare, no one had ever done this bean curd. He wasn’t sure if anyone would want it. He struggled for a while and felt it would be good to own a shop.

But Mother Deng wouldn’t even want it. Even if they bought one, she would want the cheapest shop. This wouldn’t be good for their market, “Forget it, he could think about it later.” Liao Tingyu asked his brother to make some more.
“Big brother, you make some more and store it. We could discuss it again the next time I came back, this thing is very durable. Just dried it in the sun, this could be kept for two years.”
Liao Shi nodded his head, “Okay, I know it. You take care of yourself. I will take care of our parents with your sister-in-law.”

Liao Tingyu nodded too, “You also take care, if there is something, just find me in the town.”
Mother Deng saw the two brothers said their farewell, she was very jealous, “Okay, okay. Do I still need you to take care of me? We can still walk around.”
“Mother, I didn’t mean that.”

“Okay.” Mother Deng sneered at Liao Shi and turned to smile at Liao Tingyu, “My son, you have to eat well outside. I think you lose some weight; my heart is distressed. Don’t bring things at home, treat yourself well.”
Liao Tingyu wanted to say, this thin looks was a result of his hard work. Well, it was a pity, no one here would appreciate it. God gave him handsome appearance but the body wasn’t good at all. He must work hard to have muscles.
Liao Tingyu nodding his head and agreed on the surface. But inside his mind it was a whole different thing, “Mother, you don’t have to worry. I will take good care of myself. You don’t be tired at home and don’t let dad drink too much. The wine made by mother was good, it was soft to your stomach. It is better to drink this than those hard liquors.”

“Okay, okay. I know it.” Liao Ming didn’t like anyone talked about his drinking habit, “You stop learning from your mother.”
“What do you mean by that? My son cares about you so much, do you dislike it? You still like to buy wine outside, there’s a lot in our own home made by me.” Mother Deng was angry.
“Father, mother, it’s getting late. I will go first. You take care of yourself at home.” Liao Tingyu ran away first.

“Well, I have some other things. I will go.” Liao Shi also ran away from them.
The old couple was left to fight with each other, of course, it was mainly mother Deng who talked eloquently and Liao Ming either nodding his head or apologized. Everything his wife said was right. He was always the wrong one.
Liao Tingyu who sat on the ox cart shook his head at them, “His father really weak in front of his mother.”
