On the day of the exile, Ning Xian Ling could not see him off, so this visit to the prison became the last meeting between their father and son.

After that, Ning Le locked himself in the house, did not eat or go out, and did not even say a word. Su Miao didn't pay attention to it at first, but this situation lasted for three days, and if she didn't eat, she would starve to death.

"Although I don't care if he will starve to death, but he lives in our house for nothing and doesn't do any work, and we are not wronged, so we have to provide for him if we take him in." Su Xian was dissatisfied.

"There's no way, Brother Ning's father is suddenly not around, and it will be difficult for him to bear such a blow all of a sudden." Su Yan stood aside with his hands clasped, hung his head and whispered, as if he understood.

The three sisters glanced at him, then ignored it, Su Miao looked at the closed door, sighed lightly, and said in a low voice:

"It's been three days, and it's time to get up." He turned around and walked towards the room where Ning Le was temporarily living.

Pushing open the door, a stale smell caused by the lack of ventilation for three days rushed to her face, Su Miao frowned, looked at Ning Le, who was lying on the bed covered with a quilt and was lifeless, and didn't know if there was any sign of life, standing by the door and saying softly:

"Ning Le, it's been three days, you should get up."

Ning Le didn't answer, still covered his head with the quilt, and lay motionless on the bed.

"Ning Le!" She frowned and called.

Ning Le didn't answer, and he didn't move.

"Ning Le!" She was a little angry and called again.

Ning Le still didn't move.

Su Miao held her forehead and sighed helplessly. Then his eyes sank, and he stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and lifted Ning Le's quilt. There was a strong gust of wind, which made people's hearts feel colder and colder.

Ning Le was angry, lying on the bed and half-raised, his hands propped up on the bed board, like a vicious beast ready to pounce, glaring at her fiercely, and said angrily:

"Stupid woman. What are you doing! ”

A brand-new IOU with a faint ink smell appeared in front of him, Ning Le was stunned for a moment, and suddenly dumbfounded.

"This is your IOU. That is, your deed of sale, before the arrears are paid off, you are my slave, and you have to do whatever I tell you to do. You remember. I am not related to you by blood. We are all outsiders from all angles, so I won't raise you for nothing, and I'm not your father, and I won't tolerate you being coquettish. The arrears will be deducted from the salary, and from tomorrow, you will come to my store to help, and I will give you time to study, so you will start from the beginning of the hour and end at the end of the unitary time. for I will also provide for you to eat and lodging. So you can only halve your salary compared to other people's wages, and you don't expect me to provide for your schooling. Because the wages are small. If you still want to think about marrying a daughter-in-law and being filial to your father in the second half of your life, please take the Jinshi exam and come back. As long as you pass the Jinshi exam, all debts will be written off, of course, you are sixteen years old but you haven't even taken the show, I'm afraid that a stupid person like you is not even as good as Yan'er, and I don't expect you to rely on that to erase your debts. ”

"You fart! Who said Lao Tzu couldn't pass the exam! Ning Le stared at a pair of rounded eyes? clenched his fists and said angrily.

"Really? Then you can take one and show me. Su Miao said lightly, and then pinched his baby fat cheeks hard, "But before that, you'd better learn more about the art of speaking, and from tomorrow onwards, you have to work seriously, it doesn't matter if you don't do it well, no one is born to do the best, but if you are temperamental, your father said, I can beat you." ”

"You woman!" Ning Le's cheeks were pinched painfully, and he glared at her with bared teeth, and said angrily indistinctly.

"Very good, that's the momentum." Su Miao let go of her hand and said sternly, "From now on, you have to move to Yan'er's room, and Xiaoweiwei will move in this room." ”

"Why?" The question sounded loudly in unison, and it was Ning Le on the bed who spoke and Su Yan who was eavesdropping at the door, and the aftertaste stood aside with an indifferent look.

"Why?" Su Miao looked at Ning Le's face and smiled innocently, "Do you still need to ask, what is the benefit to me of letting you live in a private room in debt, compared to Xiaoweiwei, it is much more useful than you, you want me to have special treatment for you, let yourself be a useful person first." I said it, I'm not a father, don't be coquettish to me. ”

The aftertaste involuntarily touched the tip of his nose, was he praised? But it's nice to be able to stay in a single room.

"Second sister, am I your own brother?" Su Yan looked at her with a small mouth and said with a cry.

"Yan'er, you're going to end next year, the learning atmosphere is very important, and having an older fool by your side will make you more confident." Su Miao smiled and glanced at Ning Le, who was so angry that her face turned blue, and said to Su Yan gently, "You have to get along with your big brother." After a pause, he looked at Ning Le again, and warned with a smile, "Although my brother seems to be a bully, if you dare to bully him, I will really beat you." ”

Ning Le felt more and more annoyed, but Su Miao, the person who helped him when he was most desperate, he still knew how to be grateful, so he just turned his head away angrily, and said in a disdainful tone:

"Always say beat me up, beat me, I really want you to beat me! Hum! ”

Su Miao glanced at him and smiled slightly: "You misunderstood, what I said about beating you meant drugging you in your rice bowl to make you fall asleep, and then tying you up and hanging you on the beam of the house and training you with a whip for three days and three nights, how could I do something so unplanned as doing it directly." After a pause, he looked at his eyes that seemed to feel the chill and gradually widened, "Hehe, I'm kidding." ”

Ning Le's face began to turn blue and purple, and he shrank for a moment, lowering his head and not wanting to look at her again: why did he think that this woman who smiled innocently and harmlessly would really do such a thing?

"Second sister is so scary." Su Yan said with his chin in both hands.

Aftertaste held the corners of his forehead and sighed speechlessly.

In this way, Huiwei and Ning Le changed rooms, and Ning Le moved to Su Yan's room to live, although Su Yan was a little reluctant, he could understand Ning Le's mood very well. And Ning Le doesn't often don't speak like aftertaste, and he can't see his expression on his face at all, and these two people live together and have nothing to do.

Ning Le began to help in the store, and in his spare time, he also packed up his previous books and began to study. His clothes and books were not raided. Before the new county order took office, Su Miao entrusted Yu to help with the inspection.

Ning Le was enlightened at the age of four, and his reading level was not as good as Su Yan, who was only thirteen years old, Su Yan was very proud, and he began to be a good teacher, and always wanted to help Ning Le with tutoring.

For the first time in his life, Ning Le felt a deep frustration in his studies, and he would not have cared about this kind of thing before.

Academic setbacks. The work was also frustrated, this young master who had a nurse when he was a child, a maid with ten fingers, and had never been touched with spring water, worked in the field, and in just two hours, he broke ten plates, five porcelain cups, a teapot and two wine jars. The main reason is that as a former Ning Xiaoguan, he was seen by many guests serving dishes. Although most of these guests were not bad people, and the occasional person who asked a few words was not out of malice, Ning Le, who had a fragile self-esteem, could not bear it, and even a look of surprise would make him stab in the back. Feeling unwell. In addition, when it comes to the peak of dining, it is like hell for the newlyweds. The door was noisy and messy, but Su Xian and the others were not affected and shuttled back and forth neatly, even Su Yan, who came back from school and occasionally helped, was neater than him, and he couldn't help but want to learn from Su Chan and them to serve six dishes at a time, but he failed and failed even more after being unconvinced, he was too busy and let his pressure increase at a rate per second, and there were more mistakes, and the sound of the dishes breaking alarmed the back kitchen.

The aftertaste was silently remade ten times in total. The feeling of pressure also swelled in the silence, and he was about to get angry.

Yu Patrol stepped in from the door. smiled and asked: "Ning Xiaoguan, how are you doing here, are you still comfortable?" "He is definitely concerned about this inquiry, they were all frequent visitors in the past, and they often met in the Yamen, and the relationship was not bad.

"How can you be at ease!" Ning Le wanted to shout such a sentence, but he couldn't, turned his head and left angrily.

There was a moment of embarrassment on Yu Patrol's face, and Su Xian greeted him and said with a smile:

"Uncle Yu, don't ask, he broke ten plates in the morning, and he is annoying himself now."

Yu Patrol suddenly saw Ning Le with a tense face as if all the guests were his enemies, scratched his head, and sighed:

"I knew this was the case, how good it was to take the test when I was in Ning County, and it was better to teach than to do what he couldn't do." Ning Xian Ling treats everyone very kindly, and Yu Patrol is grateful for his goodness, even if Ning Le makes nonsense again, he has always been just angry that he does not grow.

"He doesn't know as many words as I do." Su Yan said triumphantly.

Hu Shi tugged at his ear: "How can your second sister sue you, say this kind of thing again, see if she doesn't scold you!" ”

Su Yan flattened his mouth.

"By the way, tomorrow the new county commander will take office, arrive at noon, book a table here with you, and send it to the county magistrate's house at noon tomorrow." Yu Patrol said.

Hu Shi responded.

Smack!

The sound of the plate breaking sounded again, and everyone who was used to it turned around and saw Ning Le squatting on the ground with a dull expression, and at his feet was a plate of meat scattered all over the ground.

The green tendons in the aftertaste of the kitchen were about to jump out, and he couldn't help it anymore, and he was about to go out and slaughter Ning Le as soon as his apron fell to the cooking table. Su Miao hurriedly threw down the frying spoon, hugged his arm, and persuaded with a smile:

"Xiaoweiwei, calm down! Calm down! ”

"He definitely did it on purpose! All he smashed was my cooking! Aftertaste said through gritted teeth.

Su Miao laughed twice, pulled his arm, looked out the window along the small window, and sighed with a headache.

Su Xian, who is an outfield manager, also sighed with a headache, took out a notebook and recorded:

"The eleventh plate plus a plate of pork in the pot is just enough to deduct two months' wages."

Ning Le was equally annoyed, his face was feverish under the gaze of everyone, and the wolf was embarrassed, and he squatted motionless on the ground, hanging his head, neither picking up the plate nor moving.

A man walked up to him in a few steps, grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up, and looked at him coldly.

"Su Xiaomei is angry!"

"Sister Chan'er is a head taller than Ning Legao!"

"It's Ning Le who is too short, Ning Le is going to suffer!" The diners whispered "excitedly".

"The third sister is so scary!" Su Yan covered his mouth and said timidly.

Su Chan, who was 1.75 meters tall, picked up Ning Le, who was in her early 1.6 meters, very fiercely, and Ning Le subconsciously swallowed her saliva, because her expression was a little timid than that of an ice cube and gloomy than a coffin.

"This restaurant was opened by the second sister with all her heart's work, if you dare to waste it like this again, I will kill you!" She warned coldly, word by word.

Su Miao was stunned.

Ning Le was stunned for a moment, her warning gaze made his heart tumble with anger, but this anger seemed to be suppressed by a layer of diaphragm in his heart and could not be vented, he felt that he couldn't look directly into her eyes, so he turned his face away.

"Chan'er!" Hu Shi hurriedly called, and said to Ning Le, "Ah Le, don't be in front, go to the back and see what Miao'er has to do." ”

Su Chan glanced at Ning Le coldly, let go of her hand, turned her head and left.

Ning Le looked embarrassed, touched the collar of his clothes, and didn't care about the dishes that had been spilled on the ground, turned around, and went to the kitchen angrily.

Blessed people are good, come forward to clean up the mess.

Su Xian sighed depressedly, there is a helper who can't be used, and it's really hot as a manager!

Ning Le entered the hot kitchen and did not speak. Su Miao glanced at him and said lightly:

"I don't need your help here, you can help Tonggui."

"Huh?" Tonggui was taken aback, looked at Ning Le, who exuded a breath of non-entry around him, smiled dryly, and whispered hard, "Ning Xiao, Brother Ning, can you chop the firewood in the back alley?" ”

Ning Le glanced at him and scared Tonggui into a tremble.

Ning Le pushed open the back door and went out, bluffing the little fox who was burping on his stomach into the dog house and refused to come out, it had eaten a lot of spilled vegetables in the morning, and it had been stretched into a ball, and it didn't want to eat anymore.

At the end of the alley was a small shed filled with logs and an axe next to it.

Although he had seen it twice, Ning Le had never chopped firewood, picked up the axe and thought about it, raised his hands and chopped it hard, the first time he split the air, and the log fell crookedly to the side. He was a little angry, rearranged the log, and raised the axe high again, although this time it was split, but I don't know if it was too strong or the angle was wrong, although the wood was cracked, a small piece of wood flew straight towards his face, he was startled, closed his eyes, the wood chip brushed the corner of his eye, although it was not broken, but it hurt.

He gasped.

"Brother Ning, you can't chop firewood like this, such a large piece of firewood will be burned unevenly in the stove, and the master will be angry!" Tonggui came out uneasily, and when he saw this, he hurriedly said, snatched the axe from his hand and chopped wood neatly, "Look, it should be like this!" ”

Ning Le looked at him, Tonggui was two years younger than him, a child who was only fourteen years old. (To be continued......)
