Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Zhao Family
Li County Zhaojia
Zhao Ting returned to his study from the small door in a carriage, he didn't want to alarm his mother and grandmother.
This time, he went to several surrounding counties to inspect his own industry, and every time he went to an industry, he had to check the accounts and inventory, and some of the accounts had problems and it was troublesome to check; Some of them are not doing well, and they have to discuss ways to improve their business methods, so that the family has been gone for almost five months to get it done, and they are exhausted before returning home.
He went to see his grandmother first, and listened to his grandmother read him, saying that he was not young and was almost twenty years old, so let him marry a wife and take a concubine as soon as possible, and even his younger brother would become his own son.
He's only eighteen and nineteen in the New Year, so it's almost twenty! The old man likes to exaggerate.
He also said that he should take care of his younger brothers and sisters, don't always cause trouble for the family, and the uneasy father and mother... finally got out and was called by his mother again.
I saw her mother's haggard face, crying and complaining about his father: when he first went out to inspect, he married a vixen in the sixth room, and now he is two months pregnant, and his father is still fascinated to death, and he stays in his room every day, and does not come to the big room to take a look......
After listening to her for a long time, he stopped his mouth when he saw that he was really tired, and said it euphemistically, let him, as the eldest son, persuade his father, the rain and dew are even wet, how can he give the big house some face, and it is good to have ten days and a half of rest in the big house a month.
He looked at his mother with a headache, are these things supposed to be said as a son of man, his mother was still aggrieved, saying that she could still see his father a few times a month, but since she said this, she has not come to the big house once.
And if they want to meet each other, either her mother will go to the concubine's room to find it, or she can only see her grandmother in the morning, if she asks someone to invite her, his father will not pay attention to it at all...
His father's absurdity is like this from his youth, the older he gets, the more excessive, and her mother is still knowledgeable when she is young, the older she gets, the more she doesn't know what to do, and she is jealous and noisy with her concubine every day, making the family miserable, so that he doesn't want to go home, and often lives in the county school.
On the contrary, he didn't become a gentleman like his father, and he was successful in his studies before he came back, and his grandfather passed his father and directly passed the property to him to take care of.
Originally, his father was still making trouble, living in the Qinglou and not going home, saying that if his grandfather did not pass on the family property to his father, he would let the prostitute in the Qinglou give birth to a child for his father, so as to disgrace the face of the ancestors, and his grandfather was so angry that he almost fell ill when he couldn't get angry.
As soon as his father saw that the old man was going to die, he had no way to return to the industry, so he was honest for a few days, and then he thought about it. What does it matter who owns the industry, he is his son for his expenses, and he doesn't have to worry about the operation of the industry. I ate, drank, and had fun looking for a woman peacefully, but unfortunately my grandfather passed away without delaying the New Year.
Zhaoting's appearance is beautiful, who knows how much he wants to have a simple home, living a life of loving parents, loving father and filial piety.
Sitting on the back chair in the study, Zhao Ting looked fixedly at a famous landscape painting on the wall, a few farmhouses hidden in the green mountains and green rivers, I don't know if Miss Pei Yao lives in this kind of place, she must be very leisurely...
"Brother, brother!"
A girl who shouted loudly slapped the table a few times when she saw that her brother was in a daze and didn't react!
Zhao Ting frowned and said, "Zhao Wan, what are you yelling about, do you still look like a girl?" ”
"It's not like you didn't respond a few times." Miss Zhaowan whispered, looking at her brother's uncertain face and said: "Where has my brother been in the past few days since he came back, the family is bored to death, and I listen to my mother talking about fox spirits every day, and I can't do it!" ”
Her brother glared at her again and said, "How can you talk, who is annoying!" ”
"Brother, you will teach me a lesson as soon as you go home, in addition to listening to my mother's chatter when I stay at home, and Qi Lian occasionally comes to me to see that you are not at home, and she will not stay long, and then there are those sisters, it will be annoying to see them! I'm your own sister, and if you don't care about me, you'll kill me! Woo..."Miss Zhaowan's temper, how can others say that she is not good, this is why her brother has no choice but to cry, she wants to change someone else, and scolds people directly!"
Zhao Ting saw her crying pitifully, and knew that this backyard girl was nothing fun, coming and going was embroidering and playing the piano, but his sister didn't like it, and he didn't know who she was with, she was a wild man who couldn't sit still.
And the Qi Lian girl she mentioned, she is 17 years old and not married, as long as he is at home, he will find an excuse to come to the house to find his sister, who in the family does not know that she is drunk and does not mean to drink, and she is sick to her stomach when she sees that delicate and pretentious appearance, what is the difference between the concubines at home who are tired of his father? Not even the general coolness of Miss Pei Yao.
Seeing that her brother frowned and didn't persuade her, he said angrily: "I don't care, whoever makes you my brother, I will go wherever you go, don't want to leave me alone at home to listen to my mother's nagging!" ”
"Nonsense, you can go where the man's house goes!" Zhao Ting glared at her.
Suddenly I thought about it, didn't I just go to Miss Pei Yao's house, I was worried that there was no excuse to go, what if I took my sister with me? Let's just say that I deliberately took my sister to relax, if they can make good friends, then wouldn't it be easier for them to approach?
That's it!
"Okay, go back and take care of it, don't be as unkempt as you are in the house, I'll take you to the countryside tomorrow." Zhaoting instructed.
Zhao Wan was pleasantly surprised: "Really! You can really take me out of the house to play! Seeing her brother smiling and nodding in confirmation, he screamed excitedly and jumped to his feet: "I'll go and prepare, remember to call me tomorrow!" With that, he turned and ran.
Zhaoting shook his head helplessly, he was really suffocated, but when he thought that he would be able to see that girl again tomorrow, he couldn't help but be happy!
In the quiet mountain pass
The godmother carried an ox cart along the mountain road to pull a cart of goods and people to the courtyard in front of the cave.
Pei Yao jumped off the ox cart and saw the alfalfa grass in the sun for most of the yard, and looked around, but the sister and brother were not in the cave.
But Duoduo heard the sound, rushed out of the weeds on the gentle slope of the mountain, and saw another group of people, some did not like it, some were strange, and there was a behemoth!
Although Pei Yao's master stopped it from biting strangers, it couldn't stop it from fighting with this behemoth!
I saw that in the courtyard, an old cow didn't care whether the ox cart was lived, desperately swept to the alfalfa grass in the sun, and the ox wheel was about to press over the stone, but there was a golden retriever fat dog next to him, constantly turning around and baring his teeth to provoke!
But the cow's eyes, nose and even heart are full of grass! It's all grass! I'm going to eat grass! No one can stop me from grazing! Completely ignore the dog.
Duoduo is not impatient or discouraged, he keeps observing in circles, vowing to find out the flaws of this behemoth and compete with each other!
Pei Yao looked at the unreliable Duoduo, regardless of the fact that it had a new partner to play, grabbed a handful of grass to feed the cow, let the cow stand firm, and went straight to unload the goods with the godmother, Jiajia also helped to carry the heavy things, and within two clicks, I saw the sister and brother running down the mountain sweating profusely, still carrying a firewood knife in their hands.
Pei Yao knew that when she saw the dog running away, the sister and brother would definitely go down the mountain to check. Seeing that Sister Shi Yao was back, the sister and brother breathed a sigh of relief...... (To be continued.) )
