Seeing that the little peach blossom was coaxed, Tian Huaixiao breathed a sigh of relief, and then he felt a burning pain on his face. When he raised his hand, he felt a burning pain.
This damn iron egg, damn it!
"I don't care, you must get the money tonight, otherwise I won't comply." Xiao Taohua stared at Tian Huaixiao with tears in her eyes and said, "Let's leave tomorrow. I won't come to this poor place anymore.
"
"Chengcheng, it's all up to you, it's all up to you, my sweetheart, don't be angry, ah." Tian Huaixiao wiped the tears from her face and coaxed: "What do you say, grapes are sour?
"
"It's just you who's being stupid and saying the grapes are sour because you can't eat them." Little Peach Blossom said angrily.
"That's right, that's what they said. They are talking nonsense because they are jealous. Don't worry, I don't know what kind of person you are. They say those harsh words because they are envious of me. It's not worthwhile for you to be angry.
.”
Little Taohua snorted and sniffed, but she was not as angry as before. She just said: "Anyway, I don't care. I don't want to stay here anymore. I'll go back to Henghe as soon as possible."
"Okay, whatever you say comes true." Tian Huaixiao didn't respond, and said: "Oh, I just got hit hard by that Wang Tiedan, please rub it for me."
"It's no use." Although Xiao Taohua said this, she still obediently took off his clothes, touched his body with her little hands, and just rubbed them, and they both fell on the bed.
Over there in the main room, Tian Huairen was talking to the old man.
"Now that your eldest brother has a future, your family is in better shape. As for your second brother, well, I'm afraid I owed him something in my previous life and I have to pay it back in this life." The old man took a puff of dry smoke and said, "He is simple-minded.
, It’s really hard to ignore it at all. In Yokogawa, I was worried that he would cause trouble for your elder brother. What happened? For such a woman, he made a big joke and made it known to everyone. Your brother
Everyone’s face turned yellow when they laughed at me.”
"Your eldest brother and sister-in-law are quite vocal. Secretly and openly, they want your second brother to have his room back, but what can I do?" The old man sighed and said, "In the past few years, in order to provide for your eldest brother, I have wronged you.
, now that your eldest brother has a future, if your second brother does something else, I can't leave him behind, otherwise, this will be a heartless thing. Besides, your second brother is not someone who is easy to talk to.
well."
Tian Huairen was silent for a while and said, "Dad, don't worry too much. You have worked hard for most of your life, just enjoy yourself."
The old man laughed and said: "If you raise a child to be one hundred years old, you will always worry about ninety-nine. This is the life of being a parent!" He looked at the sky outside and said: "Why are you coming back now? Come back quickly.
Go back to work, there is no one to help you come back. Don’t worry, your second brother and the others, I will keep him under control."
Tian Huairen nodded, comforted him, and walked out of the main room.
The sky was gradually turning westward, and as the sun was about to set, Tian Minyan and Luo Shi started to cook dinner. Thanks to Xiao Taohua’s extra money, the dinner was quite satisfying, including meat and bone soup.
.
After the sun's shadow completely covered the other side of the mountain, all the people who helped in the fields came back. The seventh uncle was very happy to hear that the old man was back. The two half-century old men sat together and talked non-stop.
Tian Minyan's uncle and cousin also came to help plant potatoes, and the potatoes were full and very lively. The old man asked Rui Ge to bring two kilograms of Changbai roast to his house, saying that he would eat two cups.
Dinner was still divided into two tables, one for men, and another for women and children. Tian Minyan originally thought that Xiao Taohua would not show up if she got lost during the day, but who would have thought that she would pretend that nothing happened and show up at the dinner table.
"Oh, this braised pork tastes really good. The third brother and sister are so good at their craftsmanship." Xiao Taohua picked out the plate of braised pork in front of her, and said, as if to test and unintentionally: "After all, third brother and sister, you guys are living a good life in this house.
Such a large plate of braised pork is nowhere to be seen on Yokogawa’s table.”
Jiang's temperament means that even if he has money, he will not spend it lavishly. He will only calculate and calculate. It is not unusual for him to have no meat on the table.
Tian Minyan's lips curled up and she said: "It's all thanks to your money, my second aunt, otherwise we would still have pickles and radishes on the table. Otherwise, we could just steam a plate of dried fish and shrimps sent over from the Henghe River.
Yes, it’s just a makeshift meal. Xiao Wu, please thank Aunt Xiao Er quickly, otherwise we won’t have any meat to eat.”
"Thank you so much, Auntie Xiao Er, this meat is very delicious." Xiao Wu smiled toothily, revealing a small hole where one of his front teeth was missing.
The smile on Little Taohua's face suddenly froze, and the meat in her mouth immediately became tasteless. Seeing these children eating happily, and the sound of the men over there shouting and drinking, she felt that they were eating her
Meat drinks her blood.
"Your second uncle and I are just sharing a meal together, so there's no need to do so much." She laughed dryly.
"There's no reason to cook the dishes in a big pot separately. My second aunt said it's a meal together, so it's hard for you and my second uncle to eat green vegetables, right? It doesn't cost much to cook these dishes today, which is about a penny.
Tian Minyan chuckled: "I want my second uncle and you to be happy eating."
Pork cost fourteen and a half cents a pound, so she bought a lot of it for everyone to use as a toothpaste. Anyway, the money was not wasted. It was great to use other people's money to replenish everyone's health.
Little Taohua laughed dryly, scolding the stinky girl in her heart, as smart as an old fox.
The dinner was very lively, and the old man ate too much. He was helped by the younger generation to the kang, and he was still shouting that he was happy. He ate two more cups.
After the old man was settled, everyone dispersed. Xiao Taohua coughed at Tian Huaixiao and pursed her lips in Tian Huairen's direction.
Tian Minyan looked at it and narrowed her eyes. She watched Tian Huaixiao walk up to Tian Huairen and hooked his shoulders and said: "Third brother, we brothers haven't been nagging for a long time. Let's go and have two more cups."
Talk?"
Tian Huairen also ate a lot tonight, and he was tired after working all day. He just wanted to take a shower and rest, so he said, "Second brother, I'm also drunk from eating, how about tomorrow?"
"Are you still a man? You've only had a few drinks. Now that people call you Third Master, do you think they look down on me, your second brother?" Tian Huaixiao glared.
"No, nowhere."
"Then have two more cups." Tian Huaixiao pulled him to the place where the food was set without saying a word.
Tian Minyan hurriedly called Xiao Wu and whispered a few words in his ear. Xiao Wu nodded and ran over as fast as he could.
Tian Minyan gritted her teeth and her eyes were sharp. It was best for this little Taohua and her second uncle not to think of any bad ideas. Otherwise, don't blame her for ignoring family ties.
In the front yard, Tian Huaixiao poured wine for Tian Huairen and then for himself. He touched his glass and said, "Third brother, I respect you and drink."
"Second brother, just do as you please, I really can't drink it anymore." Tian Huairen was very embarrassed.
"Third brother, it's been so long since we brothers have sat together. How come you've become like a mother-in-law? Mother-in-law and mother-in-law are not straightforward at all." Tian Huaixiao said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not talking about you as the second brother. You have to be a man.
Get masculine, look at you, you have some wealth now, right? Why are you still like a soft penis stuck under a woman's skirt, without any masculinity? Even if you have a drink, you are still a man, aren't you?"
Tian Huairen was a little unhappy when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. He just picked up the bowl and took a sip of wine.
When Tian Huaixiao saw this, he also knew that the third child was having a stubborn temper. He thought that there was really no way to hold him up, but he still said: "Chengcheng, I won't force you to do it. It's up to you." After that, he raised his head.
Head, drink all the wine in your bowl.
He poured another bowl of wine, patted Tian Huairen's shoulder hard and said: "Third brother, our family is not what it used to be. The eldest brother has become an official, and your life has improved. I'm the only one who
, still a rogue Laisan.”
"Second brother, you are doing quite well, you have even married another wife." Tian Huairen said lightly.
After hearing this, Tian Huaixiao laughed and said: "For this man, it is natural to have three wives and four concubines. Which big family does not have many concubines? I only have one, so it is not a strange thing."
Third, how can this man sleep with just one woman for the rest of his life? How boring would that be?" Then he lowered his voice and said: "Third, now you are also a somewhat famous Third Master, and your wife is pregnant.
If I can't serve you naked, how about my second brother marry you another wife in Henghe? I guarantee she'll look good and have a better figure than your wife."
When Tian Huairen heard this, he stood up immediately and said with a stern face: "Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about? You can also say this? I think you are drunk, second brother, go back to the house and rest."
After saying this, he turned around and left without looking at Tian Huaixiao.
"Hey, why did you just say a few words and start a fire?" Tian Huaixiao hurriedly pulled him and apologized: "Okay, second brother is full of shit, now I have to apologize to you, ah? Second brother drank this apology wine, right?
Can’t stand it any longer.”
With a clatter, he put the empty bowl on the table, burped, and said, "Third brother, it's done."
"Second brother, if you have any questions, just tell me." Tian Huairen was tired and yawned to force himself to ask.
Tian Huaixiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "If anything happens, let us two brothers talk."
"Then let's talk tomorrow. I've been working in the fields all day and I'm exhausted."
Tian Huairen stood up, and Tian Huaixiao quickly pressed him down again. He hesitated for a while and said, "I really have something good to tell you."
"What?"
"I won't tell anyone else. We are good brothers from the same mother-in-law, and we don't care about it. A while ago, your sister-in-law said she knew a spice owner, and his spices were sold very well, so she planned to
Also open a spice shop." Tian Huaixiao said: "You also know that although my eldest brother is a small official, there are still a lot of gentry and rich people in Henghe. With such a backer, opening that shop is a sure profit.
No compensation.”
"That's good." Tian Huairen snorted and said softly.
"Third brother, don't say that my brothers don't take care of you. I have discussed it with Taohua. If this shop doesn't open, we should open the biggest one. But you also know that in our family, my mother will take care of you inside and outside.
I won't be able to get this much money for a while."
Since the separation of the family, Tian Huairen has gained some experience and is no longer the stupid young man he used to be. When he heard this, he immediately became alert and asked: "What does the second brother mean?"
"That's what I mean, you also need some money from this room, and we can pool the money to open that spice shop." Tian Huaixiao's eyes flashed with a calculating light, and he encouraged: "Look at the big sister and the little sister.
Did you jointly open that jewelry shop with your elder sister-in-law? You earn so much money that you can count the money every day without laughing. Isn’t it all because of your elder brother’s official position? How many people go to help him just to curry favor with him?”
"Third brother, if you take out three or five hundred taels and count the money as a small boss, isn't it any better than your back-breaking work of farming?"
As soon as Tian Huaixiao's words came out, Tian Huairen stood up in shock and said with a big tongue: "Second brother, where did I get so much money?"
"Third brother, stop pretending. You were making cakes and selling those preserved eggs. You know how much you earned. Are you going to be unable to come up with these three to five hundred taels?" Tian Huaixiao
He sneered and said: "I haven't invited anyone else to join you. Seeing that you are my brother, I will count you as one. Third brother, this is a sure profit. There is no shop like this in this village? Besides,
, you also want your mother-in-law and children to live a good life, right? You are a man and you have to take responsibility."
"Second brother, let's not talk about the fact that I don't have money. This river is too far away and I'm not that good at doing business. I only know how to farm, and there's nothing wrong with farming." Tian Huairen refused without hesitation.
Tian Huairen is not the kind of person who insists on saving face. His duty is his advantage. He has an honest and gentle temperament and no machismo. He will never respond hot-headedly just because Tian Huaixiao stabbed a few words.
"You don't need to take care of this. You just need to bring out the money, and your sister-in-law and I will take care of the rest. You can just be a hands-off shopkeeper and wait for the dividends to be distributed every month." Tian Huaixiao said with a smile: "
You just give money to someone and don't have to do anything, just sit and wait for the cashier. That's a great thing, how about it? Let's make a fortune together, brothers."
"Second brother, I really didn't lie to you. It's not that I don't like money and don't want to get rich. It's just that I really don't have money. You can find a partner with the eldest sister and the others, and I won't get involved. Now I have land and land, and I don't have to worry about food and drink.
I am also satisfied." Tian Huairen shook his head.
Tian Huaixiao's face sank and he said: "Third brother, you must be clear. This is a business that is sure to make money without losing money. Even if you don't do it, you can still eat. These three brothers and sisters are a wife, and Yan Yatou and the others are also young ladies and young masters.
.”
"Second brother, I..."
"Dad, please go back to the house quickly. My mother says she has a stomachache."
Just when Tian Huairen was about to speak, Xiao Wu suddenly ran in, his face full of anxiety.
When Tian Huairen heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he no longer cared about Tian Huaixiao. He quickly took Xiao Wu and ran out of the house, leaving Tian Huaixiao there, unable to distinguish the situation.
"This, damn it." After Tian Huaixiao reacted, the figure was gone. He punched the table with hatred, causing his rice bowl to bounce.
This is just a little bit away, and the money will be polished off.
