It may be raining and a little muggy.

Zhao didn't stay in the house, but was sitting in the shade of a tree in the courtyard at the moment.

She was holding a sole in her hand and was holding it, but her mind was obviously not on the sole, and her eyes glanced in the direction of the courtyard gate from time to time, and her face seemed to be a little impatient.

Wu was talking to the side, holding an old garment in his hand, which was being patched.

Sizao entered the yard like a gust of wind, and when she saw her old lady and grandmother sitting together and chattering, she rolled her eyes and ran over.

"Dead girl, let you call uncle, why did you come back now, where did you go? Where's your uncle? As soon as Sijujube approached, before he could speak, he was scolded by Zhao's glare.

Wu looked behind her and asked, "What about the eight pears?" ”

Sizao was scolded by the Zhao family a little unhappy, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to answer the questions one by one, "Uncle hasn't come back yet, and the aunt said that she would let him come over as soon as he came back." Hachiri and Shichiro went to play together, and I went to Huanghua's house for a walk. ”

"Yo, I almost forgot about it." Wu slapped his head violently and looked at Zhao, "Mother, Ming'er Huanghua is going to get married, please let us go and drink the wedding wine." Mother, which one will you let go then? ”

The topic was shifted, and the Zhao family didn't bother with the four dates anymore, but turned his eyes at the Wu family, "Who else can you let go, let your father and Decai go." ”

When the marriage is made, the woman will make a banquet of the three animals sent by the man and invite everyone in the village to eat.

Of course, because there are no gifts at the time of marriage, one person from each household is generally invited to the banquet.

But because Huang Hua married well this time, the Huang family was proud, so each household invited two people. The scene was deliberately made bigger. can show that it is better than others.

"They may not be able to come back in time tomorrow." Wu pouted.

"If you can't come back. Let Lao Wu and Erlang go. Zhao said.

Wu was a little disappointed, she wanted to go to the banquet, but she couldn't find fault with this arrangement.

"Hmph, Huang Hua is just marrying a small family that runs a restaurant in the town, looking at the pomp and circumstance of the Huang family, it looks like her daughter is really married to some amazing character." Zhao snorted coldly from his nose. Quite dismissive.

But the sour tone, revealing the true thoughts, is actually envious of the Huang family.

"This is good in our village, the Huang family's family business is thanks to Huang Hua's aunt, but she has made a lot of efforts." Wu said.

She looked at Sizao squatting beside her, and sighed in her heart, it would be nice if Sizao could marry such a family.

"Cut." Zhao still snorted disdainfully.

Sijube looked at the east chamber.

happened to see Santao slamming the window shut, it seemed that she was listening to the conversation between the Zhao family and the Wu family, but she was uncomfortable listening to it, so she closed the window.

Sizao thought of Tan Lihua's words. So he lowered his voice and said to Zhao and Wu, "Grandma." Mother, I heard a new thing today, about Sister Santao. ”

"What's the matter? Tell me about it! Zhao immediately stopped the action of collecting the soles of his shoes and said with a stiff face.

"I heard that Sister Da Mei told Sister Santao about family affairs." Sizao said all the words of Tan Lihua before.

After listening to Sijuju's words, Zhao's face immediately turned cold.

She was angry that the Yang family had not spoken out of this big matter, and let her keep her in the dark, which was really hateful.

At the same time, she was also very disappointed in Tan Damei, thinking that even Santao could only introduce such a person, so where could Osmanthus's relatives count on her, it was difficult for her to treat her like a treasure on weekdays.

What a waste of my thoughts.

"Alas, Da Mei married to the county, and now Santao is going to marry her, and Wuxing will definitely not be far behind in the future, it's good." Wu is envious.

Zhao didn't answer, just glared at Wu.

She was about to get up and go to Yang to ask if this was true or not, when Tan Dejin came in through the side door.

"You two are going to cook." The Zhao family sent the Wu mother and daughter away.

Wu quietly pouted and left with Sijuju.

Tan Dejin walked over and sat down on the pony opposite Zhao.

"Daddy." Tedkin asked.

"Something's going on." Zhao replied lightly.

"Oh." Tan Dejin answered in a low voice, and then he was speechless, waiting for Zhao's next words.

Seeing that Tan Dejin was the only one who came, Zhao was greatly relieved.

Looking at her eldest son with a loyal and honest face, she was very confident that her son would accept what she asked for today.

"Boss, how are lotus roots selling lately?" Zhao spoke.

"Well, thanks to everyone's help, it's okay." Edgam told the truth.

How many lotus roots are left in the family that have not been sold, Zhao is clear in his heart, he can't tell lies.

"That's good, I dug a lot of lotus root this time, but I got a lot of extra silver. Your family can have today, not all thanks to the fact that I was partial to your father when I separated from the family, and divided the two ancestral properties to you, otherwise where would you have your share in this pond lotus.

This rough calculation, your pond lotus root has at least sold for more than 1,000 taels of silver. Ah, more than a thousand taels, it's really a lot, you see that our family used to pick food in the mud every day, tired and tired, this year down still can't earn ten taels of silver, you this time, you earned a lifetime of money from everyone in our village. Zhao said.

The old thing is reminded of Tan Dejin that the good days now are all thanks to Old Man Tan and her Zhao family, and they can't forget their roots.

She had a happy look on her face, thinking in her heart whether Tan Dejin would say anything after hearing her words.

After listening to her words, Tan Dejin waved his hand vigorously, "Mother, what you said is too exaggerated, where can you sell a lot of silver for that little lotus." In order to dig the lotus root, our family didn't know how much silver was pasted, and later the lotus root was also sold everywhere to ask for help, which cost silver.

Also, the fish pond and the lotus pond and the mountain, everywhere have to throw a lot of silver, this stall is too big, now it is like the bottomless pit, I don't know how much silver to throw into it, I am worried these days I don't know what to do. Now that the family is almost at the bottom, I still want to wait for my father to come back and see if he can help me think of ideas. ”

Don't complain that he is poor, one is a fact, and the other is that if he doesn't say so, God knows what embarrassing things the Zhao clan will propose.

The joy on Zhao's face faded and was stained with frost, "Yo, I haven't said a few words yet, you call me poor." What's the matter, it's all separated, do you still want to cut off four taels of meat on my wife and me? Phew, white-eyed wolf, call me poor, stay there. ”

Tan Dejin gritted his teeth secretly.

He didn't refute, just nodded at Zhao and snorted, and then got up to leave.

"Where are you going?" Zhao saw that he left without saying a word, and he was anxious.

"Mother, didn't you let me stay alone?" Tan Dejin asked with a blank face.

Zhao was so angry that he almost fell on his back, gritted his teeth, "Come back to me." ”

Tan Dekin turned around and sat down again.

"I called you here today, not for anything else, but for the fifth child's business." Zhao no longer went around in circles and directly stated the purpose.

"What's wrong with the fifth?" Tan Dejin hurriedly asked, he still cared about his brother.

"Liulang went to study at Huairen Academy, and he also bought a personal scholar to serve, this is the young master's style." Zhao didn't answer Tan Dejin's question, but talked about Liulang.

Hearing her say this, Tan Dejin seemed to understand what she wanted to say next.

I felt a 'chuckle' in my heart.

If that's what I think, I'm a little embarrassed.

When he looked at Zhao, he only hoped that it was not what he thought.

"Mother, Liulang is weak, and you don't know the way. Let him run back and forth every day, this body can't stand it, and let him live alone in the academy and no one will take care of it, not to mention that we are not at ease, you and your father are probably not at ease either. I had no choice but to buy a scholar to take care of it. Alas, it's just that the cost of the academy is not small, and now I feel a little stressed. Tan Dejin explained, calling poor again.

Zhao's face sank a little more, what is going on with the boss today, how is he blocking the old lady's words everywhere.

The words in the back haven't come out yet, he's good, he blocked the words first, how can the old lady still speak.

She only felt tightness in her chest, and there was a new scrutiny in Tan Dejin's eyes, and the current boss didn't seem to be the boss before, and he had changed a lot.

But Rao is like this, what should be said, she still has to say, sneered, and waved her hand, "Okay, okay, boss, don't be poor in front of me, what is the situation in your family, you know it in your heart, and my heart is like a mirror, it is clearer."

I'll tell you the truth, the fifth child is not very good at that school now, the fifth child has been studying for so long, and a few days ago, your father took the test against him, and found that there was no progress at all. The gentlemen of Huairen Academy are all highly educated, so I discussed with your father and wanted the fifth child to study at Huairen Academy.

Now that Liulang is in the academy, it is just right for him to let Lao Wu live with Liulang, and let the one named Changsheng serve together. As for the tuition fees and all the expenses of the fifth child in the academy, you, as the eldest brother, will bear it with all your might. That little bit of silver is a lot to other people, but it's nothing to you. ”

Zhao said it easily and smoothly, as if giving money to Tan Deyou to study was what Tan Dejin should do.

She didn't feel embarrassed in the slightest.

Tan Dejin 'buzzed' in his head, and he was really guessed by himself.

It stands to reason that the fifth child is his own younger brother, and it is nothing to pay for him to study, if he has a chance, his face as a big brother will also be glorious.

But the mother's character, she can't nod, this time it's out of the money to study for the fifth child, and in a few days, I don't know what she will ask herself to do. I know how many pounds and taels I have, and I really can't respond to requests.

Taking a step back, if my father and mother are really unable to support the five years of study, then I should nod my head at this moment.

But the fact is that my father and mother have money in their hands but are unwilling to take it out, and they come to calculate themselves.

Tan Dejin gritted his teeth and looked at Zhao and shook his head gently. (To be continued......)
