Chapter Seventy-Two: The Tree Man
Staring at the paper in his hand, Chen Juntang, who was clenching his teeth, was silent for a long time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info God knows, the Chen brothers are now performing completely beyond the best he envisioned.
Just now, when he heard his two sons crying bitterly to Xia Shuanghan in the room, saying that he was afraid that his father would not want them, how uncomfortable he was as a father. But standing outside the door, he could not push the door into the house at that time, because the lessons his sons had not been learned enough, and if he had gone in at that time, wouldn't he have made all the plays he had played the day before in vain?
So, he waited patiently, but he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was an unexpectedly good result: if his sons can go to school according to this schedule for three or two years during the most critical growth period, as long as they develop good habits and styles, I believe that in the future, even if they can't become adults. How can he, as a father, not feel gratified?
"Do you remember what you said today?" After being silent for a long time, Chen Juntang finally spoke up: "Since you have made up your mind, then Daddy can indeed give you another chance." But, remember, this is the only chance, you know? ā
"Got it, thank you Daddy." The brothers looked at each other with tears of joy and smiled, and said, "Without further ado, we will work hard according to this schedule now." ā
"Not today." Chen Juntang stopped his two sons and said, "Didn't you make an appointment with your sister Shuanghan and brother Chaoyang to go out of the city today?" It just so happened that Daddy was going to the caravan camp today to buy some things, and we would go together in a moment. If you work hard, it's not too late to start tomorrow. ā
"Oh! Great! The Chen brothers smiled with red and swollen eyes: "Then let's go wash our faces first, and then wait for our father downstairs?" ā
"Go, go, go." Chen Juntang said with a stiff face: "Do you know if you use a towel to apply a towel to your eyes for a while?" ā
"Got it, Daddy." When Chen Jinglun said this, he was about to take his younger brother and Xia Chaoyang out of the house together, but he turned around because he remembered something, and made up for it: "By the way, Daddy, Jingwei and I have also thought about it in the past two days, if Daddy can find a stepmother who is really good to Daddy, good to us, and by no means for our Chen family's property, then my brother and I, we are also willing to accept her." ā
"Yes, yes, yes." Chen Jingwei echoed: "For example, a good girl like Sister Shuanghan, we are definitely willing to accept her!" ā
"What nonsense are you two talking about!" Before Chen Juntang and Xia Shuanghan spoke, Xia Chaoyang was the first to quit: "My sister has already made a marriage, do you know!" ā
"We know!" Not to be outdone, the twins retorted: "So we said that it was a girl like Sister Shuanghan, not directly Sister Shuanghan!" Xia Chaoyang, what do you want! Do you want the two of us to call you uncle? You dream about it! ā
"......" In this way, the three children went out noisily, and Chen Juntang, who was silently sitting behind the table, was completely ruined by the last few words of the two sons who made up for it. Miss Xia, the dog is formless, and all hopes are forgiving. ā
"Boss Chen is polite, Tong Yan is Mowgli!" Xia Shuanghan didn't mind smiling and changed the topic and said, "It's that Jinglun and Jingwei are both good boys, and Boss Chen will be blessed in the future." ā
"Thank you Miss Xia, if there is no Miss Xia today, I really don't know when the dog will open up."
"Boss Chen, it's really too polite for you to be so polite. Jinglun, Jingwei and Chaoyang are friends, and the two of them work hard to make progress, and they can also have a positive impact on Chaoyang. Such a mutually beneficial thing, what is there to thank and thank! ā
Xia Shuanghan paused when he said this, and asked the doubts in his heart: "I just don't know, Boss Chen was actually eavesdropping outside the room for a while, so why didn't you come in at that time?" Aren't you afraid that I will debunk your self-directed trick and ruin your good intentions? ā
"Miss Xia is not that kind of person." Chen Juntang affirmed: "Over the years, I have watched how Miss Xia taught Chaoyang, and I knew that you would definitely help me play the trick together after seeing through my tricks." After all, although Chaoyang is your younger brother, you must understand the feelings of the poor parents in the world, Miss Xia. ā
"Boss Chen has won the award."
So in this way, after a few cups of tea, a carriage and two horses went out of the backyard of the Zhenqu Pavilion and went straight to the south city gate.
Outside the South City Gate, the former open space near the caravan camp is now densely packed with all kinds of food stalls. After all, the Han people are the best at grasping business opportunities, and where there are people, it means that there is money to be made, and they understand this truth better than anyone else.
The caravan camp is so big and there are so many stalls, it always takes a long time to walk around. Therefore, the bustling buyers on the outskirts of the camp will inevitably provide a considerable and steady flow of customers to the nearby food stalls.
Visiting the market, eating snacks, and shopping have become the main activities of Xia Shuanghan and the Chen brothers this afternoon. It was not until the sun was setting and the sky was dark that they set out on their way home, each of them to his own home.
On the second day of the fifth month, this is the day when the Dingguo Mansion goes to the Xia family to be hired. Early in the morning, the bridal gift tied with red satin from the Guogong Mansion came all the way from the west of the city to the east of the city, accompanied by the band.
When he returned from school at noon, looking at the various bride prices that filled the Xia family's two small courtyards, Xia Chaoyang, who didn't know about "lurking in Naming Village", snorted fiercely.
"I don't like Brother Tingxuan anymore! I thought that the people in the Dingguo Mansion were righteous men and gentlemen, but I didn't know that they were so untrustworthy! obviously said that they would break off the marriage contract in a year, but they turned back on their word and didn't believe it! That's a lot of nonsense! ā
For his younger brother's righteous indignation, Xia Shuanghan did not come up with the idea of "explaining the truth of the matter to him", as far as the "fake escape marriage" is concerned, he already knows the part that Xia Chaoyang should know. As for the remaining parts that should not be known to him for the time being, Xia Shuanghan decided to wait until she returned from Naming Village to explain to him slowly.
So, in Xia Chaoyang's brain, the reason he learned was this: The Dingguo Mansion had to marry his sister if he didn't pay attention to credit, and his sister was unwilling to agree, and was quietly preparing to escape the marriage alone.
Regarding the two brothers Tang Shixuan and Tang Qiran pretended to be Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xiran, Xia Chaoyang was completely unaware. After all, it is too difficult for him to accept a strange "brother-in-law" who suddenly falls from the sky. And hiding the existence of Tang Shixuan and Tang Qiran, the biggest hidden danger is: Chaoyang, you must not say anything to Uncle Hazlu.
But fortunately, first, Xia Chaoyang is a sensible and strict-mouthed good boy, and he will never mention his sister's plan to escape marriage with outsiders; Second, Hazru and others don't think that such a major event as "running away from marriage" needs to be discussed with a child; Third, Xia Chaoyang went crazy every time he arrived at the caravan camp, how could he have time to sit down and talk about these things. Therefore, there is no possibility of "fake escape marriage" from Xia Chaoyang.
