Liu Mingli listened to his elder brother's words and waved his hands pretending to be unhappy.
"Hey, we brothers need to be so polite to each other. Brother, aren't you talking about this because I have an affair with my younger brother? Besides, this is not a troublesome thing, it's just something that the younger brother does conveniently."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the pretended unhappy expression on Liu Mingli's face, smiled bitterly and patted his shoulder.
"You're right, my eldest brother is having an affair with you."
"For the sake of your good attitude in admitting your mistake, eldest brother, I will forgive you."
"Hehehehe, brat, having said that, Mingli, you are already past your thirties now, so it seems inappropriate for me to call you brat again.
Time flies so fast. The young boy who followed my eldest brother back then has grown up in the blink of an eye, becoming both a husband and a father.
Even Mingjie, a brat like him, has now reached the age where he should start a family and start a business.
Unknowingly, my eldest brother is now in his forties.
If it weren't for our old man who still built it here, the eldest brother would have called himself me by now.
So fast, so fast!"
Liu Mingli listened to his elder brother's emotional words and remained silent for a long time with a hesitant look on his face. His eyes were full of questions and he looked towards Liu Mingzhi.
"Brother, now that you've mentioned this, I have a question that I want to tell you. I don't know whether I should talk about it or not?"
Listening to the hesitant tone of his second brother, Liu Mingzhi nodded without hesitation: "Brother, borrowing from what you just said, Ming Li, if there is anything to be polite between us brothers, just say what you want to say."
"Okay, then, little brother, I will speak frankly."
"Say it quickly."
"Brother, you are now in your early forties, my younger brother is already past his thirties, and Xuan'er is now in her late twenties.
Xuan'er is already twenty-six years old now, but her life-long events have not yet been decided. The younger brother, as an elder brother, is somewhat worried about her.
When she came to her younger brother's house to say goodbye the night before yesterday, after her younger brother waited for Lei'er and the sisters to go to rest, he vaguely mentioned to his younger sister some important issues in her life.
But the younger sister ignored him and didn't answer what the younger brother said.
Men should marry when they are young, and women should marry when they are young. This is a principle that has not changed since ancient times.
If my little sister is still young, it would be fine if she doesn't want to get married two years later. I can't say anything, but she is already in her twenties now.
At this age, it is somewhat unreasonable to still not get married and become a woman.
As the saying goes, a brother is like a father. You are the eldest brother of the three of us. We are willing to talk to you about many things and let you help us make ideas.
So I thought, if it’s not convenient for me to talk to my little brother, I might have talked to you, my eldest brother.
So I just wanted to ask my eldest brother, my little sister, she hasn’t left the court to get married yet, is there any unspeakable difficulty?"
Liu Mingzhi's originally smiling face involuntarily stiffened after hearing Liu Mingli's question.
After a moment of silence with his pupils narrowed, Liu Mingzhi sighed with a complicated expression.
"What did Xuan'er tell you?"
"Nothing was said. As soon as the younger brother vaguely mentioned the topic of his life events, the younger sister immediately changed the subject.
At first, my younger brother thought that she was talking about something important in her life, and that she deliberately changed the topic because of her daughter’s shyness!
Later, the younger brother gradually realized that the younger sister was not embarrassed to talk to me about these things because of her shyness, but she was simply unwilling to talk about these things with her younger brother, my second brother.
After the younger brother saw what the younger sister was thinking, he could only laugh and cooperate with her and change the topic to the younger sister's experiences of her travels in the world.
My younger sister doesn't want to talk about these things, but my younger brother, as an elder brother, can't help but care about her life-long events.
Big brother, you are our boss, and I just want to ask what you think.
My little sister is already so old, it won’t be a big deal if she doesn’t get married for a long time!”
Liu Mingzhi was silent. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
If it were before, I would have thought that the reason why my younger sister Liu Xuan had not married was because of the child Li Ye. However, when I got an answer from the old man that surprised me, I became confused.
The old man's answer made him very happy, but at the same time he felt a little at a loss.
It was precisely because of the old man's eldest brother that he didn't know how to answer the second brother Liu Mingli's question.
When Liu Mingli was full of questions about his younger sister Liu Xuan, wasn't he also filled with confusion?

I asked my younger sister Liu Xuan why she still has no idea of getting married to this day.
Could it be that she really yearns for a free life in the world and has no time to take care of her own life-long affairs?
Mostly so, probably not so.
But how likely this is to be, only my younger sister Liu Xuan knows it best.
Turning his eyes to look at the expression on his second brother Liu Mingli's face full of curiosity, Liu Mingzhi pursed his lips for a long time, and finally turned into a long sigh.
"When you grow up, you can no longer control yourself."
Liu Mingzhi, who didn't know what to say, said an answer in a sour tone that seemed to have nothing to do with the question.
However, Liu Mingzhi himself didn’t know whether this answer was related to Liu Mingli’s question.
However, this seemed to be the best answer he could give.
After the words fell, Liu Mingzhi speeded up his pace, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
"ah?"
Liu Mingli was instinctively surprised and looked at his elder brother who had quickened his pace and hurriedly caught up.
"Brother, what kind of answer is this? Isn't it the same as not saying anything?"
"Mingli."
"Well, big brother?"
"In the dead of night, when my eldest brother occasionally thinks of something, he feels very regretful and blames himself.
I don’t know why I regret it, let alone why I blame myself, but I can’t help but think about my mistakes.
Whenever that happens, I will keep asking myself why things are like this.
At this time, I will particularly want to know the truth of something, but I am very afraid of knowing the truth of something.
However, this is not the most regrettable thing. Do you know what is the most regrettable thing?
The most regrettable thing is that when you make up your mind and make up your mind to know the truth of something, you suddenly find that you can't find the truth at all.
In the end, when you learn the truth, you don't know whether to believe the truth you know."
After Liu Mingzhi said something that had nothing to do with Liu Mingli's problem, he shook the folding fan in his hand and quickened his pace again.
