Ready for dinner, the hall was bustling with three tables lined up.

The three of them, Jiro, Saburo and Shiro, who went out to play, also came back talking and laughing.

Seeing the three of them, Old Man Tan sank his face with some displeasure, "What are you guys doing, I haven't seen anyone in the afternoon." ”

Erlang and Shiro shrank their heads and hid behind their father Tan Decai, not daring to speak.

San Lang Tan Xinliang stepped forward with a smile, kneaded Old Man Tan's shoulders, and said, "Grandpa, let's take a look around, do you want to do some work." ”

Seventeen-year-old San Lang looks like Tan Deyin, with a long body, fair skin like a girl, and a pair of peach blossom eyes full of smiles.

On weekdays, there is nothing to do, and there is a three-point smile on his face, which is with the Yang family.

San Lang is very popular with women, and every time he goes out with Tan Deyin to do things, he can always hook those girls and daughters-in-law's hearts and blushing.

Old Man Tan's tense face relaxed, "Stinky boy, what kind of work are you doing, it's only right to know more words at home when you have time." ”

The tone softened, with a hint of pampering.

Glancing at Erlang and Shiro who were cowering, looking at Da Lang with dull eyes, and then at Liulang and Qilang who were ignorant with a sick face, Old Man Tan sighed secretly in his heart, only San Lang can be on the stage now in the family.

It's not a good thing to go on like this.

Old Man Tan has hidden worries in his heart.

"Hehe, Dad, San Lang doesn't want to earn more money for the family, this child has been sensible since he was a child." Yang happened to come out and heard it, and immediately responded with a smile.

unceremoniously put gold on his son's face.

Old Man Tan glanced at Yang and said unhappily, "What do you know, as long as you study, you can have a chance."

Alas, it's a pity, none of you are reading material, and my hard work was in vain. ”

Old Man Tan pointed at his grandchildren one by one, very distressed.

Jiro and the others all hung their heads, and Rokuro also lowered his head.

Rokuro wanted to study, but he was too weak and often fell ill to study.

Old Man Tan finally set his eyes on Tan Deyou, and said softly, "Old Five, you read it well, Dad is counting on you to shine on the lintel and your ancestors in the future."

Our Tan family ancestors are a prestigious family, and my father very much hopes to revive the family and reproduce the glory of the year, don't let my father down. ”

Old Man Tan had a loss on his face, but also a longing.

It's just that Tan Deyou, who has high hopes, has a cold sweat on his back, and the pressure is great.

The wish of Old Tan's father and son was an impossible task for him.

And Tan Deyin and the others listened to Old Man Tan's words, and they all laughed at it, pinning their hopes on Tan Deyou, which is really a big joke.

It's just that no one dares to point it out to their faces!

Qiduo looked at the old man Tan's eyes with great expectation, and then looked at Liulang, his lips pursed, Liulang should go to study!

Erxia and Liuju helped Wu bring the meal to the table.

The staple food is gruel, the dishes are salted radish, salted cabbage and salted beans, and each table has a large plate, which is very simple.

Looking at the meal, most people pouted, and Old Man Tan also frowned.

"Just drinking porridge, it's not a big deal at all, and it's gone with a yawn." Tan Deyou said in a low voice.

"Grandpa, I don't drink porridge, I want to eat eggs." Shichiro raised his face and pouted.

"Hey, eggs, I want eggs too." Da Lang smirked and agreed.

Looking at Da Lang's appearance, Tan Deyin's brows twisted, and there was disgust in his eyes.

Erlang and Shiro's lips moved, and they wanted to follow behind, but when Wu cooked, they had to keep their mouths shut and keep silent.

San Lang answered with a smile, "Fifth Uncle is right, I have been so hungry that I can't sleep every night these days, and my heart is uncomfortable. ”

"Alas, Dad, you see that the fifth brother reads every day, and what is the matter with eating all this.

There is also the fourth brother who carries the burden every day to the village and the household, how tired he is, if he goes on like this, where can his body and bones stand it. Tan Deyin shook his head again and again.

He himself was dissatisfied with the food, but he used Tan Deyou and Tan Debao as excuses.

"I'll eat these." Tan Debao said lightly, not receiving Tan Deyin's affection at all.

Old Man Tan asked Wu, "Third daughter-in-law, that's all?" ”

Wu listened to the other people's dissatisfaction, she was not annoyed at all, and answered with a smile, "Yes, Dad." ”

"The third daughter-in-law, these children are growing up, how can you drink porridge every day, you don't have to spread some cakes, you should also put some potatoes in the porridge, so that you can be hungry." Old Man Tan said.

In the past, the Zhao family was in charge of eating, and Old Man Tan never said much.

Wu stomped his foot, smiled and said, "Ah, Dad, my mother is sick like this, where do I have the heart to eat."

Besides, I haven't been working in the fields these days, and it's night, so it's enough to eat, and I want to save some food. ”

Then she swept her gaze over to the others and asked, "Do you have the heart to eat this and that?" ”

She used this excuse to cover up her laziness.

In this situation, can others say that they have the heart to eat and drink spicy?

Zhao came out of the house slowly, and Wu's words were exactly what she wanted.

"Old man, the third daughter-in-law is right.

When the work in the fields is busy, the grain is like flowing water, and the bottom of a jar of hard work will be seen in a few days. Zhao found a small chair and sat down next to Old Man Tan.

"Yo, mother, why did you come out, do you feel better?" Wu asked with concern, she was very satisfied with Zhao's support.

"Come out and breathe." Zhao waved his hand.

Wu Xing whispered a few words to Yang.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Yang's lips, and there was anger in his eyes.

"Dad, my mother has a point, my mother is still sick now, and no one has the heart to eat well.

It's just that the fourth uncle and the fifth uncle work very hard every day, one has to get up early to study, and the other has to get up early to do business, this body can't be sloppy, we don't care.

Shichiro is still young, and he has nothing to do with a few hungry meals.

I remember that there was still some leftover from lunch, enough for the fourth and fifth uncles, so I went to give them hot heat. Yang said sincerely.

"It's the third daughter-in-law who cooks today, let her go." Old Man Tan should agree with Yang's proposal.

The work that the Wu family should do, the Wu family has to do, impartially.

"It's okay, Sanniang is tired today, I'll go." With a faint smile on his face, Yang waved his hand generously and walked towards the outside of the hall.

The faces of Wu, Sizao and Tan Guihua changed, but Bali didn't realize anything, holding a small bamboo spoon, and had already lowered his head to eat porridge.

Santao and Wuxing lowered their heads and covered their mouths and smiled quietly.

"Grandpa, I'll help my mother light the fire." Wuxing, who had always been lazy, also stood up and followed Yang out of the hall.

Xu is doing it steadily, and on such occasions, she will remain silent, and will never rush to perform with other concubines.

Erxia and Liuju also sat quietly, just waiting for Old Man Tan to say that they would start eating, and then move their chopsticks.

Qiduo sat opposite Santao, just catching her weird smile, a little incomprehensible, is this kind of thing funny?

But she had a hunch that something might happen next.

"Let's all eat." Old Man Tan said.

Everyone took chopsticks and began to eat, and for a while, the sound of drinking porridge in the hall was everywhere.

Wu's back began to sweat.

Sijuju's face turned white with fright, and his chopsticks trembled in his hands.

Tan Guihua drank porridge and ate vegetables with an indifferent face.

"Dad, mother, I'll help." Wu hurriedly walked outside the hall.

But she only walked a few steps, and Wu Xing ran in and said in a thin voice, "Grandpa, grandma, the food is gone." ”

The hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone put their chopsticks down.

Seven black eyes turned, and finally understood why San Tao was laughing, maybe she knew about it.

Alas, it's all family, so why bother!

Qiduo shook his head slightly.

Zhao's eyes were cold, and he immediately rushed to Wu's back.

Yang also walked in and deliberately asked Wu, "Sanniang, where did you put the leftovers at noon, why didn't I find them after looking around?" ”

"Hehe, Erniang, you remember wrong, where is there any leftover food at noon." Wu smiled dryly, trying to excuse himself.

She was very annoyed with herself, how could she be scared stupid, and she didn't know how to say this to relieve herself.

If he had said this before, Yang would not have gone to the kitchen, and there would have been no such thing.

Yang pouted, "Sanniang, how is it possible, my mother was thirsty in the afternoon, I went to the kitchen, and I clearly saw a big pot of rice in the cupboard, at least two or three bowls."

By the way, the eldest lady also saw it at that time. Turning his head to look at Xu, "Auntie, right?" ”

Xu did see rice in the cupboard at that time, and he didn't want to say anything, but Yang asked, so he had to nod, "Yes." ”

Qiduo is a little dissatisfied, your Yang family wants to find Wu's stubble, don't get involved with my family.

Wu patted his head, and woke up like a dream, "Ah, Erniang, this reminder from you, I think it seems that there is leftovers."

God, this is who ate the rice secretly, but don't hurt me, I didn't eat it. ”

She stomped her foot, pulled her voice, and cried out in a serious manner.

Wu Xing pulled Yang's arm and said, "Mother, I think of something, it may be related to rice." ”

"What's the matter, tell me." Yang lifted his chin.

Wuxing nodded, "It's about after the eldest uncle came back from catching the medicine, my second sister and I took the soles of my shoes by the window, and saw Yali running from the haystack to the kitchen with something in his hand."

In the blink of an eye, we smelled the fragrant aroma of oil, and we didn't care about it at the time, thinking that it was Sanniang stir-frying.

After a while, I saw Sanniang come out of the kitchen, and went back to the house with a jacket that seemed to be wrapped in something, and after that, Sizao and Bali also went back to the house.

When they came out of the house again, they vaguely heard Yali say that egg fried rice was delicious. ”

This is already very clear.

"Wuxing, don't spew blood." Wu said angrily with red eyes.

"Sanniang, what I said is the truth, the little aunt should also know the way, and the fourth uncle also saw it." Wu Xing added.

Old Man Tan's face sank.

He is not afraid of the younger generations eating, but what he hates most is stealing food, as if he is mean.

"Fourth, did you see it?" Old Man Tan asked.

Tan Debao shook his head, "I only saw Osmanthus and the third sister-in-law pulling in the West Chamber." ”

Zhao's face was also indescribable, she stood up and took the tickle on the small table on the side in her hand.

"Osmanthus, you say, what's going on? If you don't, see how I clean you up. Zhao asked Tan Guihua.

Tan Guihua hurriedly explained for herself, "Mother, it has nothing to do with me, I just came back from Xiaolian's embroidery, and the third sister-in-law called me to eat, but I don't know what else happened to Lu Dao." ”

Things came to light all of a sudden, leaving Wu with nothing to hide.

Wu and Sizao suddenly turned sallow, and they knew that there would be a storm coming next.
