Chapter 127: Unintentional Hurt
As a festival that has been inherited for thousands of years, the Dragon Boat Festival occupies a very important position in the hearts of the people of Yan Kingdom.
However, after all, the Dragon Boat Festival is not as good as the Spring Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it does not pay attention to family reunion, coupled with the inconvenient transportation in ancient times, at this time, it is also a busy agricultural period, relatives and friends may not be able to visit each other, and some families will choose to entrust people to give gifts - Zhao Siniang's family plans to entrust Zhao Yongxiao with the carefully prepared festival gifts back to the old Zhao family.
There are those who want to move around but can't pull away, there are those who don't want to come and go and try their best to shirk it, and more are those who insist on going to relatives without being too far away.
As the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, Jiangjiatan Wharf is becoming more and more lively day by day, and the flow of people in Zhaojiapu is almost saturated. As far as the eye can see, almost all the villagers in the shop are visiting relatives and friends.
Originally, Zhao Siniang planned to go to the county seat with Zhao Yuanniang on this day, and asked his father to pick up Zhao Yuanniang from the town the day before, so that he could leave early the next day.
But now, the business in the shop is so prosperous, and the family is so busy that their feet don't touch the ground, Zhao Siniang really can't just leave, so she rolled up her sleeves and helped in the back kitchen.
After several months of actual combat, Jiang's cooking skills have already been qualitatively improved. However, restaurants like Zhaojiapu, which take the popular route, rely not only on taste, but also on speed. Zhao Siniang secretly shook her head in her heart every time she looked at Jiang's palm.
It's an advantage to be serious, but it's not necessarily a good thing to be too serious.
Perhaps in the early days of the store's opening, Jiang, who was not good at cooking at the time, replaced Zhao Siniang in charge, but was complained by customers every day, leaving a shadow in his heart. In the future, Jiang was careful when cooking, trying his best to imitate Zhao Siniang's craftsmanship, and felt that the dishes he made had to be exactly the same as the little girl to finish.
One more point is not good, and one less point is not good. The dishes that are finally made are tasted repeatedly and carefully compared. It's so real, no matter how skillful the technique is, the speed can't go up.
Fortunately. Most of the ingredients are prepared in advance, and the freshly fried hot dishes that make Jiang's entanglement can be made out of a big pot every time, which does not make the guests wait for the table to be lifted, but this also obviously slows down the rhythm of the dishes!
Gee. Obviously making a big pot of rice, but everywhere to follow the standard of high-quality dishes, are you embarrassed by yourself, or embarrassed by yourself?
On weekdays, it seems that Jiang is extremely unassertive. She agreed to whatever the girl said. But sometimes, it's not like you can fulfill your promise.
Although Zhao Siniang has persuaded the Jiang family countless times, let her mother just let go of her hands and do it, and if she does it well, the Jiang family should also accept it well. But when Jiang was really on the stove, he still couldn't help dragging mud and water.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a disease that needs to be cured!
However, there is no time to treat Jiang's illness at this time, and Zhao Siniang is busy saving the scene. It's usually just okay, but business is very hot at this time. If she continued to grind like this, she was really worried that there would be guests waiting to go crazy.
Zhao Siniang's family was busy, and even Zhao Sanlang, who was originally interning in the duck farm, rushed back to help when he heard the news. However, there is a special exception in the family - Zhao Shilang sits idly in the backyard.
Zhao Shilang is not the kind of lazy child, he is the one who is hard-working and has a job in his heart, how can such a good child be idle to draw circles on the ground?
It turned out that since Zhao Siniang bought the Mengxue reading book from the county seat, she began to teach her family to read and write. Zhao Siniang's family couldn't run from top to bottom, and even the Jiang family was arrested to learn some of his own names.
However, Zhao Yongzhong, Jiang and Zhao Sanniang are all here to make soy sauce. Zhao Siniang didn't have so much energy and was not willing to bother to teach them seriously, and her key training object was of course the Zhao Sanlang brothers who were expected to take the road of the imperial examination.
However, everything should be done with timing, and this is especially true when reading a book.
Before. Zhao Siniang is convinced that "if you want to learn, it's never too late", don't you see so many inspirational success stories in your previous life? So, she came to teach the brothers with enthusiasm, hoping that one of them would give her a show before she came back, and exempted a large amount of taxes -- the agricultural tax of Yanguo did not seem to be heavy. And business taxes are really a lot. With fame, the family's land endowment can be completely exempted, and half of the commercial tax can be exempted, how good!
But the reality is so refreshing, in less than two days, Zhao Siniang's dream woke up, she finally realized: there are not so many miracles in the world, and it is very difficult to miss the best time for enlightenment and then want to learn!
Alas! No wonder the ancients would say: "If the young and strong do not work hard, the old man will be sad"!
Is that how this phrase is used? Well, anyway, although Zhao Siniang wailed in her heart, how could she die so easily, and she refused to give up, and she caught the brothers to study when she caught it. After her tossing and turning in the past few months, Zhao Sanlang was able to recognize most of the words on the "Three Character Classic". But what about Zhao Shilang? Hehe, now Zhao Siniang is no longer anxious about his ability to read, just for his IQ! You said that after two months of study, you can still write your own name wrong, what's going on! The Jiang family is stronger than you!
For this kind of "stubborn stone", Zhao Siniang felt that she could not save it due to her limited ability, so she decided to give up decisively. Since a few days ago, Zhao Siniang specially transferred Zhao Sanlang out of Zhao's shop and arranged for him to study on the spot in the morning and learn to settle accounts in the afternoon. As for Zhao Shilang? Zhao Siniang actually didn't make arrangements. But it's not good to make it too obvious, that's too hurtful, isn't it? So, let him follow behind Zhao Sanlang. As for whether this path is suitable for Zhao Shilang, what did he learn? Zhao Siniang didn't want to care.
Today, Zhao Sanlang rushed back to help, and Zhao Shilang, who has been playing his brother's little tail, of course followed. It's just that Zhao Siniang immediately arranged for him to run the hall as soon as she saw Zhao Sanlang, but she didn't let Zhao Silang go into the back kitchen to help, and only let him rest elsewhere.
Zhao Siniang thought to herself, the back kitchen is so big, there are Jiang and Yuan Chunfang there, plus Zhao Yuanniang and herself are enough, where is there a place to stand again? Don't come.
Zhao Siniang may not admit that she feels that Zhao Shilang is in the way, or she may think that she is hiding very deeply, and the dull Zhao Silang will not know her true thoughts.
As everyone knows, the true intention of knowing a person is not to listen to what he says, but to see what he does. The more innocent a child is, the purer his heart becomes, and sometimes he is keenly aware of what others really think of him.
Zhao Siniang always thought that it was her grandmother Yang who lit the fire today. It turned out that with Jiang Hua's recovery, there were no more patients at home to take care of, so she came over to help watch the stove when she couldn't stay idle.
But in fact, early this morning, the Yang family took their little granddaughter to visit their in-laws. This is the first big festival after the family made a fortune, in previous years, only the father-in-law sent a gift to the Jiang family, but the Jiang family couldn't get a decent return gift, so it was not less ridiculed by the mother-in-law. Now my house is wider. You have to go to your in-laws' house to show off, don't you? After being aggrieved for so many years, I have to spit out this depression.
personally came to the door to send a gift to the house, and this old man Jiang also agreed. However, I have to wait until I am busy with this paragraph. If you are really busy every day. Then you can go when you take the time to go tomorrow, and if you don't like that, you can go.
But this time, the Yang family, who has always been reliable, is not reliable at all, seeing that it is getting busier and busier day by day, and the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching day by day, I am worried that this time my in-laws will take the lead. Thereupon. She couldn't bear it anymore, ignoring the old man Jiang's obstruction, she dug up the Jiang pear blossom from the quilt as soon as it was dawn, and rushed to Gaodian Village with the Boxing ceremony.
Finally, the Yang family was still worried about the family's business, so he didn't bring his grandson with him, and let him take his place to light the fire in the back kitchen.
Therefore, the person in charge of lighting the fire today is actually Jiang Xiaohu, who is only eight years old.
Zhao Siniang didn't notice it, but Zhao Shilang saw it clearly.
Although this child is dull on the outside, he is sometimes very sensitive on the inside, and today he deeply realized that Xiaomei actually doesn't look down on him - it turns out that I am so useless, I can't even compare to Xiaohu!
This is the case. Zhao Siniang really didn't do it on purpose. In many cases, however, unintentional actions are far more hurtful than intentional injuries.
Zhao Shilang, who felt deeply hurt, didn't bother to go to play with his friends in the village, so he just sat alone in the backyard and drew circles.
I don't know how many circles I draw, and suddenly a rapid barking of dogs came from far and near.
Without looking up, Zhao Shilang knew that it was his Xiaobai who came.
In detail, Xiaobai can be regarded as having the same illness as Zhao Shilang - they are not treated by Zhao Siniang.
Zhao Siniang's family has a cat and a dog, the cat is called Xiaohuang, and the dog is called Xiaobai. Both animals, both lazy. I could barely see them moving, but I saw them lying on their stomachs in the shop.
Although Xiao Huang will climb on the roof from time to time to squint. is much more high-profile than Xiaobai, but Zhao Siniang is still pleasing to the eye, after all, because of Xiaohuang's existence, there have never been mice in the shop. Of course. Looking at Xiao Huang's arrogant appearance, he doesn't look like a mouse catcher. But even if it is useless to catch mice, then it can be regarded as a merit in scaring rats, and it has finally fulfilled its own duty.
And Xiaobai's duty should be to take care of the home, but it is seriously derelict in its duties, and not only does it not call when it sees the living. is also allowed to be molested. Hmph, it's a good sale of cute, but it's not a pet to bring it back, it's too out of tune! If she could return it, Zhao Siniang would have returned it a long time ago.
Zhao Shilang can't read, and he can't pour the things in the book, but he is very concerned about the cats and dogs at home, as long as it is about the two living treasures, no matter how young he is, he can notice it.
Very early on, he saw that Xiaobai was not treated by his little sister, so he never let it come to Zhao Siniang. He knew that Zhao Siniang was usually very busy, and the shops and workshops took turns, and he was determined to make his career bigger. But as the family's industry, Zhao Siniang rarely gets involved in tea stalls, and only occasionally goes over to collect some mountain goods when she is in the market. Therefore, as long as it is not a market day, Zhao Shilang will send Xiaobai to the tea stall. It's the same today, after feeding Xiaobai in the morning, let him follow Yuan Chunhua to see the stall.
What time has it been, why did you come back? But it's good to come back, Zhao Shilang, who was traumatized, hugged Xiaobai who rushed and begged for comfort.
However, Xiaobai, who has always been well-behaved, is unusually today, jumping up and down on the ground in Zhao Shilang's arms, and it is still screaming today, and when you listen carefully, the voice is mixed with a bit of sadness.
Zhao Shilang hurriedly checked Xiaobai up and down, although he didn't find any injuries, but in the bursts of screams, his mind couldn't settle down. Suddenly, with a thought in his mind, he hurriedly hugged Xiaobai and rushed to the tea stall, but saw a scene that made his eyes crack.
I saw that the weak Yuan Chunhua was being suppressed to the ground by a tall and strong young man, and was kicked hard by a young girl. The girl was extremely vicious, and she chose her head, face, lower abdomen and other vital points. I don't know if it was because she had been subjected to violence for too long, but at this time, Yuan Chunlan could only let out a faint cry for help, like a dying little animal.
With such a bloody violent scene, how could Zhao Shilang endure it? The simple-minded man who still cared about paying attention to the pair of men and women was more than two people, picked up the broom in the corner of the stall and opened the young man with force, and pushed the girl hard, just to rescue Yuan Chunhua.
Whether it is in terms of age or strength, the pair of men and women are much older than Zhao Shilang, but at that time they were enjoying the fun of bullying the weak, and one might as well be driven away by Zhao Shilang. The brother and sister have always been strong and domineering, but after coming to their senses, how can they agree? One mind is going to clean up Zhao Shilang with him.
The mother, who had been standing by and watching her children commit murder, saw that someone dared to push her children, and she wanted to come forward to help. The father of the man and woman was a fine man, and he didn't dare to cause trouble in a foreign country. However, when he saw that although Zhao Shilang's clothes were neater and cleaner than ordinary country children, he was just ordinary material, so he let his wife and children behave. Seeing the acquiescence of the head of the family, those subordinates who came with him hurriedly volunteered to come forward to help.
Seeing that Zhao Shilang, who was kind enough to fight, was about to be beaten by a group, Yuan Chun, who still had a trace of consciousness, wanted to beg for mercy but couldn't make a sound. In fact, she also knew very well in her heart that this former master's family had always been quite unreasonable, even if she begged for mercy, it was useless, and she only felt that all thoughts were disillusioned for a while.
