At noon, Tian Minyan and Luo Shi packed the food into the food box, filled the boss with two pots of tea, put it into the basket, and handed it to Xie Chengzhong who came to get the food.
When Mr. Tian came out of the main room, he happened to see Xie Chengzhong lifting the basket. He was stunned: "This, isn't this a dog?"
Xie Gouzi is a scoundrel in the village. Everyone recognizes him. Why did he just show up at his own home? He looked familiar.
Seeing the old man asking, Xie Chengzhong had no choice but to put down his burden, stepped forward and bowed to Mr. Tian, bowed and said with a smile: "How are you, old man? Are you here to play?"
"Xie Gouzi, why are you at my house?" Seeing him like this, the old man frowned and took a step back.
This Xie Gouzi has a notorious reputation and is used to sneaking around and doing rogue things, but he shows up at Tian's house. What's going on?
When Tian Minyan saw it, she stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, Brother Xie is now my family's long-term worker, and his name has been changed to Xie Chengzhong."
"What?" The old man was obviously very shocked. To hire such a person as a long-term laborer? Isn't this like catching a mouse in a rice vat?
"You go pick up the food first. My father and the others are afraid they will be hungry." Tian Minyan ordered Xie Chengzhong again, and the latter sighed and picked up the load and went away.
Mr. Tian watched Xie Chengzhong leave the house, and then he realized that this was not a dream, but real.
"Yan Yatou, what's going on? Then Xie Gouzi is obviously a scoundrel and can't do anything. Why do you hire such a person to be a long-term worker?" The old man frowned and said: "This is not free money.
Are you raising him? No way, this is too outrageous."
"Grandpa, Xie Gouzi was not good before, but now he is doing very well." Tian Minyan said with a faint smile: "Everyone has his own merits. Just because he was not good in the past does not mean that he will not be good in the future.
Xie Gouzi, oh, his name is Xie Chengzhong now, I am optimistic about him."
"How old are you? What do you know? He just bullied you, Lao Cheng, and brought you a sweet basket. He said a few sweet words and was coaxed away. Oh, you are so sincere." Mr. Tian looked distressed.
Shaking his head.
Sweet basket means to wear a high hat.
Tian Min smiled and said nothing. She didn't want to explain too much, let alone argue about the matter, because the person invited belonged to their third room, not the entire Tian family.
"It's already noon, hasn't the meal been served yet?"
Tian Huaixiao walked out of the north room, pulling on his clothes and asking in a loud voice.
Tian Minyan and the others looked over and were stunned at the sight. Luo Shi blushed like blood and pulled Tian Minyan to block her.
"What are you doing? You just showed up without washing your face?" The old man looked very ugly, pointed at his face and growled.
Tian Huaixiao was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand and touched it. It was a little sticky. When he looked at his fingers, he saw that there was some rouge on them. It was obviously from being intimate with Xiao Taohua just now. He immediately laughed and said: "Dad, don't do it."
"Excuse me, I'm going to wash up right away." He said and went back to the room in a hurry.
Luo Shi clicked his tongue and felt angry, so he said: "Dad, we have cooked your meal. Do you want to go back to the main room to eat or eat with us in the west wing?"
"Of course..." The old man opened his mouth, and then he was shocked to realize that Luo Shi had cooked his meal. Does that mean that it was only his share, not Tian Huaixiao's?
"Grandpa, if you don't like it, I'll ask Xiaoxing to bring the dishes to the main room." Tian Minyan said tightly.
"What about your second uncle?" The old man probed cautiously.
"Oh, I told my dad that the family is busy with farming right now, and we are cooking all the big pots of rice, so we are too busy. My second uncle and the others are also used to the exquisite food from Henghe, so I'm afraid they won't be used to it.
Just cook them separately as before, so we won't waste food for the second uncle." Tian Minyan looked innocent and said with a smile: "Didn't the second uncle marry a new wife? I brought her with me when I came home. I want to come.
That little aunt is also virtuous and can cook by herself." After that, Tian Minyan asked the old man to go back to the house to rest, and she immediately put the food in there.
The old man stood blankly at the door of the main house. He couldn't believe what he heard and saw. How could even the most virtuous and gentle sister-in-law of the third family have changed!
Sitting cross-legged on the kang, the old man looked at the food brought by Tian Minyan and the others, and his brows furrowed more and more. He felt that the people in the third room had changed and became unruly and uncontrollable, which made him very annoyed and uncomfortable.
.
Naturally, he felt uncomfortable. You must know that he has always been the head of the Tian family. Although the Jiang family controlled him internally, the Jiang family still regarded him as his god. His status had always been supreme.
But since the separation of the family and since going to Yokogawa, he felt that the third house was out of control, which made him feel that his status was threatened.
Moreover, he had a strong feeling that he would soon be completely out of control of the third room.
"Dad, why are you just ordering dishes like this? I think the third child is getting more and more stingy. Who can eat the dishes like this? I'll go find him."
Just when the old man was thinking hard, Tian Huaixiao and Xiao Taohua walked in. When they saw the dishes on the old man's kang table, their eyebrows stood up.
"Come back!" the old man shouted.
Tian Huaixiao was startled and turned around to look at him: "Dad, what's wrong?"
"You think this is for you to eat? This is just my share. If you want to eat, you can go to the kitchen and cook it yourself." The old man snorted and looked at them.
"What?"
Tian Huaixiao jumped up, while Xiao Taohua's expression changed.
The old man didn't look at him. He glanced at the large bowl in front of him, which was full of white rice, stir-fried sweet potato leaves, and a plate of stir-fried pork slices with green peppers. He said, "The portion is quite large today. If you can appreciate it,
So I brought some bowls to share. If not, just go to the kitchen and work on some."
As he said that, he picked up his chopsticks and divided some of the rice into pieces to eat.
"Lao San, Lao San is too stingy. Brother, how can you be so scheming?" Tian Huaixiao was so angry that his face turned purple and snorted: "I don't believe it. I won't have enough to eat without him.
?Come on, let’s go to the town to eat.”
After saying that, he dragged Xiao Taohua out.
"Also, the third sister-in-law said that she is busy with farm work and has to cook a big pot of rice, so she can't pay attention to you. Besides, the families are separated. Now that you have brought your daughter-in-law to the house, naturally you can still do what you did before.
Cook like that. During these days at home, you can let Taohua cook. The new grain has been harvested, so there is no shortage of that little grain."
Tian Huaixiao and the two had only taken two steps when the old man's indifferent voice suddenly came from behind them. Upon hearing this, Little Taohua's body suddenly softened and she shouted: "Second Master, I have a stomachache."
"Ah, sit down quickly, sit down quickly, what's wrong?" Tian Huaixiao quickly helped her sit down and asked a few words nervously. Little Taohua only said that her head was a little dizzy and her stomach hurt slightly.
"Dad, look, Taohua's fetus is only two months old. She is weak, how can she do heavy work?" Tian Huaixiao shouted.
"Why is cooking a heavy job? Your three brothers and sisters are five or six months old, and they still cook and clean as usual. We, the wives of the Tian family, can't be lazy. If you want to eat, you can cook it yourself." In those last words, Mr. Tian
He said it while looking at the little peach blossom.
Little Taohua really wanted to cry but had no tears. If she had known this, she wouldn't even be able to eat. It would be better not to go back to this poor place.
"Dad, there are servants in the third room, don't they all cook the food? The third brother and sister are too fussy. She must have taught the third brother a bad lesson, otherwise why would he treat us like this? I
You have to tell him, the third child is a weakling, and he was taken over by a little woman." Tian Huaixiao snorted.
Little Taohua screamed, peeked at Mr. Tian with her eyes, and saw that he was completely unmoved, so she tugged on him, shook her head, and nuzzled at the old man.
Tian Huaixiao didn't care if he left or not, he just stood there stiffly.
Little Taohua snorted secretly in her heart, thinking that this man really wanted to save face and had no ability, so she said: "If the old man doesn't dislike it, we can shamelessly rub it against him."
The old man gave her a cold look and said nothing, but he acquiesced. Tian Huaixiao quickly went to get two bowls, and shared most of the remaining bowl of rice, and the three of them ate around it.
"Old man, it's troublesome to use one kitchen for two people. Do you think it's okay? Let's give the food money to Third Brother and the others and ask them to help us cook an extra portion. Can we share the food with a food general?
"Putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Xiao Taohua looked at the old man and asked.
Ask her to cook? She doesn't want it. She came to this shabby place just for fun, why would she do such menial work? Haven't she done enough before? She has finally made her hands white and tender, so she doesn't want to ruin herself.
She really wanted to go to the town to eat and drink well, but going to the town also cost money. Tian Huaixiao's money was hers, so she had to be tighter, and it didn't seem like going to the town every day, right?
But the third brother is too smart. It was just the first day after they came back, and he gave them such a showdown. This damn guy said that the third brother is a dull and sincere person. Can he really make money out of him?
The old man leaned on the quilt and smoked a cigarette. He glanced at her and said, "It's your business. Whether you cook by yourself or eat from a big pot, it's up to you."
Little Taohua hurriedly said: "Farmers, how can we pay so much attention to it? All we have to do is have enough to eat. Then dad, can I talk to my third brother and sister?"
"What else can you say? Just take the money. I don't believe it. This kind of dish will cost a lot of money?" Tian Huaixiao picked at the empty plate and snorted dissatisfiedly. He was not full yet.
My stomach growled again, and I became even more depressed.
He was used to eating good food in the Henghe River, and there was plenty of fish and meat every day. This feeling of hunger was something he hadn't seen in a long time.
Little Taohua curled her lips and looked at Tian Huaixiao acting like an uncle. How much money would she like to give him?
