Old Man Tan took out the family law and punished Tan Deyou severely.

Tan Deyou was beaten to the point that his skin was open, and he called his father and mother every day to cry out for pain, but no one dared to look at him, because Old Man Tan didn't allow it.

His behavior broke Old Man Tan's heart.

For this matter, Old Man Tan knelt in front of the ancestral tablet for a long time, saying that he had not taught his son well.

Everyone also learned from Tan Deyou's mouth about the poisoning of the three of them.

It turned out that the three of them had been in the mountains for two days, looking for many places, but they could not find the so-called treasures, and they were tired and hungry and accidentally ate the poisonous red berries on the mountain.

The berries are eaten in the cave, because the berries look bright and beautiful in color, but the taste is not very good, bitter and astringent.

After eating two or three, the mouth was so astringent that they had to throw the berries.

When they were about to go out again to find something to eat, the toxicity attacked, and they were so weak and dizzy that they couldn't even take a step.

Therefore, the three of them failed to get out of the cave, and fainted in the cave at the end.

Fortunately, the three of them were blessed with great lives, and the toxicity of the berries was not particularly violent, otherwise they would have died on the spot. Also, during the time when they were unconscious, no wild beast broke into the cave and tore them apart, which was a blessing in misfortune.

At that time, Tan Deyou and the others didn't think there was anything, but now that they think about it, they are so frightened that a layer of cold sweat oozes from their backs, which is really dangerous.

Old Man Tan didn't want Tan Deyou to go back to his previous school to study, and he moved his mind to go to Huairen Academy again.

So, he came to Qiduo, hoping that she could go to Zheng Wanru to vent her mouth first, and then he would come to the door with a gift to talk about it.

The purpose of his so. It's because I'm worried that I'll be rejected and my face will be ugly.

But Qiduo didn't immediately agree to his old man's request. She has her own ideas.

"Grandpa. Do you really still want your fifth uncle to study? Qiduo asked very directly.

"What can he do if he doesn't study, our family hasn't produced a serious reader for generations." Old Man Tan replied with a serious face, and his tone was a little displeased.

"But, grandpa, don't be angry if I say something you don't like." Seven Flowers.

"What?" Old Man Tan raised his eyebrows.

"Grandpa, listening to Mr. Gao's performance in the school last time, it seems that the fifth uncle is not particularly interested in reading. Since he is not interested. So if you force him to study, he may not be able to learn well, and in the end, it will not only waste the fifth uncle's time, but also harm the fifth uncle? Qiduo said again.

"Seven girls, what you said is so unreasonable, I saved money and spent money to send your fifth uncle to study, so that he could have a good future in the future, this is obviously for his good, why did it become a harm to your fifth uncle.

Seven girls. If you're not willing to help, Grandpa won't blame you. Grandpa has to think of other ways, don't use these words to prevaricate me, grandpa is not old and confused. Old Man Tan was angry.

After saying that, I really got up and prepared to leave.

Qiduo shook his head secretly, hurriedly pulled Old Man Tan's arm, and said softly, "Grandpa, don't be angry first, please listen to me finish the rest of the words, you can see if it makes sense, and then get angry?" ”

Old Man Tan snorted and sat down again.

He also knew in his heart that Qiduo was not the kind of person who liked to talk nonsense, and since he said that, maybe there was some truth in it.

So, he listened carefully to Qiduo's explanation.

Qiduo's explanation is very simple, since Tan Deyou doesn't like to read, you force him to read, whether it is in the previous school or in Huairen Academy, he will not concentrate on reading, and in the end he still achieves nothing.

Over the years, Tan Deyou has been spoiled by his family, he doesn't know anything about farm work, and he is lazy in the future, and he has problems with farming and farming to support himself.

So Qiduo said that Old Man Tan forced Tan Deyou to study, not only did he not love him, but he harmed him, and he didn't even have the ability to survive in the future.

Her suggestion is not to rush to send Tan Deyou to study in the academy for the time being, anyway, the academy is about to have a holiday, it is better to let Tan Deyou work in the field from today, and let him taste the hardships of doing farm work, so that he can know that every copper plate is not easy to come by.

Only when Tan Deyou himself realizes the hard work of farming, maybe he will have the mind to study seriously, and now he has a life like this, when he opens his mouth and stretches his hands, he lives too leisurely and comfortable, where do you know the difficulty of his family,

"Grandpa, it's up to you to give it up." After saying his thoughts, Qiduo blinked at Old Man Tan with big eyes.

Old Man Tan smiled and nodded, "Seven girls, what's so reluctant about this, you're right, your fifth uncle just doesn't know the height of the sky, so he is so nonsense." Okay, from now on, I'll let him go down to work in the fields with your third uncle.

If he really doesn't have the material to study, then that's it, at least he can rely on farming to support himself in the future. ”

Qiduo also smiled and nodded, "Well, grandpa, don't worry about the academy, I will tell my aunt." When the fifth uncle really wants to study, it's not too late to send him to the academy. ”

Old Man Tan nodded, and after a while, he was a little worried, and sighed lightly, "Alas, I pinned all my hopes on your fifth uncle before, hoping that he would be able to gain fame in the future and fight for face for our Tan family, and he would also be able to glorify his ancestors." But now it seems that he hasn't learned anything at all over the years, and it seems impossible to expect him to gain fame, and now all our hopes can only be on Rokuro. ”

Qiduo was busy comforting, "Grandpa, don't say that, if the fifth uncle can work hard from now on, it's still too late." ”

Old Man Tan let out a long sigh and didn't have much hope for Tan Deyou.

After saying that, after returning home, Old Man Tan called Tan Deyou out of the room, threw a hoe to him, and asked him to follow Tan Decai and his son to weed in the yams.

Looking at the hoe on the ground, and then looking up at the scorching sun overhead, Tan Deyou made a bitter face and said, "Dad, I've never done these jobs, besides, I still have to write big characters." ”

Old Man Tan looked at him and sneered, did not answer, but entered his room.

Tan Deyou didn't understand what his father meant. He looked at the door in a daze.

A moment later. Old Man Tan came out of his son's room. Holding a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in his hand.

In the sunlight, he found that the inkstone had fallen a thick layer of ash, and it looked like it had not been used for a long time.

He couldn't help but secretly regret that he believed in his son too much, and he didn't seriously check his son's schoolwork earlier, otherwise it wouldn't have caused today's results, alas!

Old Man Tan slammed the inkstone in his hand to the bluestone passage in the courtyard, and broke the pen again. The paper was torn and shredded.

"Dad, what are you doing, these things are bought with money?" Tan Deyou was in a hurry and wanted to step forward to grab it.

Not only Tan Deyou, but also Tan Decai's family were stunned.

Zhao also ran out of the main room when he heard the sound.

Old Man Tan pushed him away, squinted at him, and said, "From today on, you don't have to study anymore, follow your third brother to learn how to farm." ”

Then ignore Tan Deyou's blank eyes. Old Man Tan instructed Tan Decai again, "Third child." I'll hand it over to you the fifth child, the work in the field, you have to teach him to do it in the same way, don't allow him to be lazy, do you hear? ”

"Dad, the fifth child has been studying since he was a child, where can he do such rough work." Tan Decai shook his head.

Zhao ran over and was angry at Old Man Tan, "Old man, what kind of nerves are you having this morning, the fifth child still has to study, you let him work in the field in this big sun, you want to kill him alive." ”

Wu pouted when he heard this, why, as long as the fifth child of your family is a human being, we are not human beings, so we can't die?

Really, what's that called?

Wu complained in his heart.

Old Man Tan immediately glared at Zhao and reprimanded, "Old woman, what kind of nonsense are you talking about, as far as he Tan Deyou is a human being, and the others are not human beings." This bastard used to give him the opportunity to study, and he didn't cherish it, so now don't blame me for being cruel to him. ”

Then he went to reprimand Tan Deyou, "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly pick up the hoe and go down to the ground with Lao Tzu." ”

He originally wanted Tan Decai to look at Tan Deyou, but after thinking about it carefully, he was not at ease, so it was better to watch it himself.

Tan Deyou looked at Zhao with a pleading look.

Zhao took his eyes aside.

Old Man Tan was angry, she didn't dare to say anything, and he was still annoyed by what Tan Deyou had done before.

Seeing this, Tan Deyou had to keep up with Old Man Tan with a hoe.

"Old man, I forgot to bring my straw hat." Zhao suddenly shouted.

But Old Man Tan had already left the yard, she asked Tan Decai to bring Old Man Tan's straw hat, the sun is so poisonous, if you don't wear a straw hat, it will really scorch people.

The potatoes planted during the Dragon Boat Festival have survived and grown several stubbles.

When the potatoes grow, the weeds come out, and the dry land is full of villagers wearing straw hats and bending over to weed.

Old Man Tan followed behind Tan Deyou with his hands behind his back, instructing him how to take the hoe and how to hoe, but not to remove the grass, but to remove the yams.

Tan Deyou saw the ease of weeding other people before, thinking that this thing must be easy, but before he hoeed a few times, he felt a sore back, the place where he held the hoe in the palm of his hand was also hot, and the sun was roasting on his back, and the whole person was like cooking in a steamer, which was very uncomfortable.

Tan Deyou became a little irritated, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and wanted to rest.

"Hurry up, grind something." Old Man Tan slapped the thin bamboo branch in his hand and slammed his son.

Tan Deyou was afraid of his father and didn't dare to disobey his orders, so he had to grit his teeth and continue.

Erlang and Shiro looked at Tan Deyou with schadenfreude eyes, and they were very happy.

Next, Tan Deyou followed Old Man Tan to work in the field every day, tired like a dog, and the bones all over his body were scattered.

"Mother, I really can't stand it, you help me beg my father to let him spare me." Tan Deyou knelt beside Zhao and begged.

Looking at his son's appearance, Zhao was also distressed, "Alas, who made you not study well, now you know that it is bitter." ”

Tan Deyou hurriedly said, "Mother, I know that I am wrong, and I will definitely study hard in the future." ”

After a few days of labor, he thought that doing farm work was simply not what people did, and that it was better to study and be happy.

Zhao went to beg Old Man Tan, saying that Tan Deyou knew that he was wrong, so don't let him work.

Old Man Tan's heart was a little wider, thinking that Qiduo's method was really useful.

However, he did not let Tan Deyou go, and continued to let his son go to the ground and supervise on the side.

Time flies quickly, and the Qiduo family's new house has been built, ready to wait for the summer to move in.

And Santao's wedding date is gradually approaching. (To be continued......)
