Tang Liang eased his emotions and said, "Mother, my son has made you sad again." ”

Li said: "As long as you come back, my mother is happier than anything else." ”

Xue Qianxun took advantage of the gap between his mother-in-law and his brother-in-law to look for Qing'er in the next room, and saw that she was sleeping soundly on the kang, touched her arm, and whispered to wake her up: "Qing'er, Qing'er." ”

Vaguely hearing someone calling her name, Tang Qing'er opened her sleepy eyes, saw that it was Xue Qianxun coming, and muttered, "Is Liang'er back?" ”

Xue Qianxun rubbed her head and said, "I'm back!" ”

"What!" Tang Qing'er scared away the drowsiness at once, and said in surprise: "Liang'er is back, why don't I know?" He looked around again and said, "Mother?" ”

"Mother is talking to Liang'er in the main hall?"

"It's all my fault, why did I get sleepy at this time, and I didn't stay until the first time I saw Liang'er." Tang Qing'er lowered her head and blamed herself.

"It's nothing! Let's hurry up and go to the main hall! Just Liang'er asked where you went. ”

"Okay, let's go quickly," Tang Qing'er sat up from the kang anxiously, and wanted to go to the main hall in a hurry.

Xue Qianxun held her arm, bent down her knees to put on her shoes, and helped her slowly walk towards the main hall, hearing Liang'er's voice, Tang Qing'er's footsteps walked faster and faster, until she saw Liang'er, she shouted happily: "Liang'er,"

"Eldest sister, why did you come out?" Hearing the eldest sister's voice first, when he saw the eldest sister's person, he looked at the eldest sister walking towards him opposite, and he felt like a world away.

Tang Qing'er walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I was excited just now, why do I have a demented expression now." ”

"Eldest sister, you have a ...... belly" It's so big, isn't it .......

Xue Qianxun stepped forward and stretched out a hand around Qing'er's waist, and said lightly: "Your eldest sister is pregnant,"

"What!" The eldest sister is pregnant, how can he not know that in the letters exchanged with his brother-in-law, he did not mention the pregnancy of the eldest sister.

Tang Liang looked at the eldest sister's stomach and said with some surprise: "Eldest sister, you are about to give birth!" "The eldest sister's belly is so big, is he going to be an uncle again soon?

Tang Qing'er said angrily: "How can it be so fast, the little ones in the belly still have four months to come out." ”

"There's still so much time!" With such a big belly, how can it take so long to give birth, and is it still a little guy? What does that mean?

Li smiled and looked at the dumbfounded Liang'er, and said, "Your eldest sister is pregnant with twins, so her belly is bigger than others." ”

Tang Liang was shocked again, and whispered: "Brother-in-law is really powerful, if he is not born, he will be two." ”

Seeing Tang Liang's frightened expression, Xue Qianxun smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth: "I've been running all the way, Liang'er may be tired." ”

Thinking of this, Li Shi thought of this, and said busily: "Liang'er must be tired, come into the house and freshen up, and go back to your house to lie down and rest." Knowing that Liang'er is home today, she has been cleaning his house every day since a few days ago, making him feel that even when he is away, the family will clean his house every day.

"Mother, I'm not tired, I still want to talk to you and my father?" Tang Liang was actually very tired, and his eyes couldn't open a little, but he could see the excited expressions of his family members, and even if he was tired, he wanted to talk to them.

Tang Qing'er took a nap every day, and she could see the tired look on Liang'er's face at a glance, and said busily: "You better go and rest!" Now that everyone sees you coming back, their hearts are much more stable, and now you go to rest, and when the meal is good, it is calling people to wake you up. ”

"Alright! Then I'll go back to the house and rest for a while, for you have something to call me. Tang nodded, shook his head, and went back to his room to lie down and sleep exhausted.

Seeing that Liang'er was going to rest, Li said to the people in the house: "None of you are allowed to disturb Liang'er's rest, if you let me know, don't eat dinner tonight." ”

Tang Qing'er shook her head helplessly, bit her ear at Xue Qianxun and said, "Look at our mother, the smile on the corner of her mouth hasn't gone down since Liang'er came back, and now everyone is not allowed to make loud noises in the house, it's really partial." ”

Li glanced at the two whispering and asked, "Qing'er, what are you talking about?" ”

Tang Qing'er hurriedly pushed Xue Qianxun away, and said with a smile: "I didn't say anything!" ”

"I didn't say anything, how don't you speak loudly,"

"Didn't you let the loud noise go until you rested?" Tang Qing'er pouted.

Li snorted and instructed the people in the house: "Jiao'er follow me to the kitchen and help me do it, Man'er will bring taro in the house, and the head of the house will help me light the fire." ”

Feng Xiao pointed to himself and said, "Mother, then what should I do?" ”

Li Shi thought about it and said, "You and Yang'er go back to study, don't delay your studies because of these things," and waved at them: "Hurry up and go into the house to read." ”

"Mother......

"Mother......" The two looked at each other and said in unison.

Li Shi glared and whispered, "You don't listen to what I say, no!" ”

Li Shi was angry, the two lowered their heads and obediently went back to the house to read, Tang Qing'er shook her head when she saw this and said, "Mother is really getting more and more powerful." ”

Li Shi looked at Tang Qing'er and said slowly: "Xun'er take Qing'er back to the house and stay!" ”

Tang Qing'er said: "Mother, in fact, I can also help you,"

Li snorted, "Hurry up and lie down, Xun'er!" Don't get used to being too used to Qing'er,"

"Yes." Xue Qianxun nodded lightly.

Tang Liang slept until dark, and when he opened his eyes, he sighed and said: "It's still good to sleep at home, even if you sleep in an inn outside, you still can't sleep well." He got up and put on his shoes and went out, and everyone in the main hall was talking lively, such a warm scene, and he had a happy smile on his face.

Li looked up and saw his son come out, and said with a smile, "Liang'er is awake." ”

"Mother, my son slept so well this night, he overslept."

Li smiled and said, "There is no place to sleep in my own house." ”

"Yes," Tang nodded, and said, "What about the eldest sister and brother-in-law?" ”

"It's not early, your brother-in-law took your eldest sister back to the house, and said that he would come to see you tomorrow."

"Oh, that's it," Tang Liang was a little disappointed, he wanted to tell his eldest sister the money he had earned this year, so that she could see that she was not the only one in the family who could make money, and he could also shoulder the burden of the family, take care of his father and mother, assist Tang Yang in the imperial examination, and let his younger siblings live a good life.

Li walked over, touched his head and said, "Don't be sad, your eldest sister is a member of the Xue family after all, how can she spend the night outside the mansion," Li thought that Liang'er had just returned home and hoped that the family would have a reunion dinner.

Tang Liang cheered up and said, "Mother, I'm fine, I'll show you something." Saying that, she took her mother's hand and sat at the dinner table, everyone didn't know what Tang Liang meant, so they had to sit down around the dinner table and wait for Tang Liang to speak.

Tang Liang took out a few silver tickets from his arms and said, "This is the money I earned outside this year, although it is not much, but it is more than our father earned by working hard in the town." ”

Li Shi was illiterate, so he looked at Tang Yang and said, "Look at how many taels of silver this is,"

Tang Yang carefully flattened the silver ticket, and when he saw the amount on the silver ticket, he was stunned for a moment, until Jiao'er next to him tugged at his sleeve and said, "Big brother, how much money is there, if you don't know how to count, I'll come." ”

Tang Yang stumbled and said: "Together, these silver tickets are 12,000 taels of silver. ”

The room was quiet for a while, everyone stared at the silver tickets on the table with incredible eyes, Tang Tiezhu dealt with money all day long, so he reacted first and said, "Liang'er, how are you ...... How do you earn it...... That's so much silver,"

Tang Liang said with a smile: "Actually, it's not much, some people in the caravan earned more than me, originally I earned more than 20,000 taels of silver, who would have thought that the things that were bought and sold after the most reckless were worthless, and I lost 10,000 taels of silver, alas! He sighed as he spoke, thinking of the 10,000 taels of silver he had lost, which really distressed him.

Li said: "Liang'er, you tell your mother that you didn't do anything bad this time!" ”

"Mother, I'm your son, you don't know my temperament, how can I cheat people out of money or take the money out to eat flowers and wine," Tang Liang cried and laughed, should he say that his mother thinks too much, or that his mother has no confidence in her.

"But with 10,000 taels of silver, how can you earn so much,"

"Mother, have you forgotten the old clothes that my eldest sister gave me when I left last year?"

"Remember, because of this, you also said that after your eldest sister got married, she became more and more stingy." Thinking of this, Li couldn't stand it and laughed out loud.

"When I left home, I pulled fifty jars of jujube wine, and when I arrived at a place, I met a staff member and sold the jujube wine to him, and made some money.

After returning home from Liang'er, Li Shi saw that his body was intact, thinking that he was not injured at all, and after listening to what he had just said, he stood up suddenly, grabbed his hand and said, "Let my mother see which hand it is." While tugging Liang'er's hand, tears also fell, falling on the back of Liang'er's hand, like a burn, Tang Liang quickly stretched out his hand.

Tang Liang smiled heartlessly and said, "Mother, it's okay, it doesn't hurt at all now, don't be sad for me,"

Li Shi hugged his son's waist and cried, and said vaguely: "Mother will never let you go again, and she won't let you go." ”

Tang Liang patted his mother's back and said with a wry smile: "Mother, if you are like this, how can you let the child continue to deal with things." ”

Tang Tiezhu also felt pain in his heart, but she was much calmer than her mother-in-law, dragged her out, pressed her to the seat again, and said angrily: "Be calm, listen to Liang'er continue,"

Tang nodded and continued: "Those thieves didn't want to hurt people, so they only snatched the silver tickets and valuable clothes in the caravan, and they didn't take a fancy to the two bad clothes that the eldest sister sewed for me, so they left them for me, otherwise a penniless person like me would definitely starve to death in the caravan." ”

"And then?"

"Later, I wore one of the tattered clothes on my body all day, and the other piece of clothing was torn and took out the silver ticket inside, used it as a coil, bought some small things along the road, and sold them in the next town, so that I slowly earned money and slowly accumulated the capital to do business," Tang Liang thought that if it wasn't for the strange trick that the eldest sister thought of for him at that time, maybe he would starve to death in a foreign land.
