Chapter 143: The brother-in-law beats his brother-in-law
When he got up the next morning, Tang Cheng packed the half car of New Year's goods prepared in advance, and personally sent away the old master Yan, who was going home for the New Year, called Tang Shuan and his family, took Li Yingjun and Lancao, and the family of five went out shopping.
Since the crossing, this is the first time the whole family has gone shopping together, Tang Chengcheng was looking forward to such a scene in Yangzhou that day, because he was in a good mood today, and everyone else was full of joy.
Shopping, buying New Year's goods, everyone went to the store to buy two new clothes, during which Tang Cheng also specially took Tang Zhang's two sons to the old man's roadside stall to eat Sanhe soup and sour noodles, and it was even more coincidental that the old man could still recognize him.
This morning shopping is really unusually fun, reunion, lively, the feeling and atmosphere are exactly the same as Tang Cheng imagined in Yangzhou that day.
True happiness is fully experienced and felt when it is shared with your family, with the most important people in your life. These people are the meaning of life and the source of motivation for struggle.
Tang Cheng thought that his parents didn't come to Jinzhou very often, and there were not many such opportunities on weekdays, so he thought about accompanying them for a while as much as possible, thinking about taking them to visit all the delicious food, fun, and places they should go in the state city; Tang Zhang's family, Li Yingjun, and Lancao thought that Tang Cheng was busy and tired on weekdays, and it was rare for him to have such a relaxed time, and he was in a good mood.
Change your heart for my heart, and then know the deep meaning! You think of me, I think of you, and it takes a long time to walk around this street. When they went out in the morning, when they came home in large bags, it was already afternoon.
When they got home, when they put their things down and sat down, they almost unanimously breathed a long sigh of relief, and then, between looking at each other, the five of them looked at each other and laughed together.
Tang Zhang smiled while beating his legs: "Oops! This state city is too big, and it is more tiring to go to a state city than to hoe uphill at home."
Then you should say it, we can come back sooner", Tang Cheng said with a smile, and at the same time, the person had already got up from the seat and walked in front of Tang Zhang's body, pulled over a stool next to him and erected Tang Zhang's legs.
"Boss, it's really good to stand like this. Why don't you try it too", just as he was saying this, Tang Zhangshi suddenly turned his head over, this is ......".
After placing Tang Zhang's leg frame on the stool. Tang Cheng sat down by the way. Reaching out and squeezing it slowly and lightly on Tang Zhang's calf. "There is a lot of walking. Calves are prone to pain. I'll pinch it for you."
"What does this look like?". Tang Zhang writhed to take his leg off.
"What's this? Come on. Mother, you just sit and rest." Tang Cheng pressed Tang Zhang's calf. The subordinates continued to massage and beat.
Home ......". Tang Zhang grew up in the countryside when he was a child. The way the villagers express their feelings is extremely simple. Like the situation in front of you. Don't say you experience it yourself. Even if I think Tang Zhang, I never thought of it. I was a little panicked for a while. I can't resist my son. Somewhat confused, she turned her head to look at the head of the house.
"The son is filial. You can just take it." looked at Tang Cheng, who was meticulously pinching the legs of the old lady. Without a word, Tang Xuan also felt a little hot in his heart.
He remembered that when he was sick in the past, his family was in a difficult situation. Fry yourself. Tang Xuan felt that those once unbearable bitterness had turned into sweet. Just for such a son. With such a son. No matter how much you suffer. No matter how much the earth is sinned, it is worth it......
Because it is a perennial labor. The bone joints on Tang Zhang's calves were thick, pinched and pressed thinly, and Tang Cheng's heart, which was originally an unconscious move, slowly welled up with a trace of indescribable feeling.
In later life, whenever he saw a public service announcement on TV about the daughter washing her mother's feet, and the daughter's daughter carrying water to wash her mother's feet, he couldn't help but feel hot in his eyes; Once, since he was a child, how many times did he fantasize that he could also beat his legs and rub his shoulders for his busy and tired parents like in TV. How he wished that his parents would not be so busy, ordinary, and plain, but the family could live with He Meimei.
However, this wish was not fulfilled in the end, and even when he said goodbye to that world and traveled back to the time and space of 1,300 years ago, he still had indifference to his parents in his heart, and even the slightest resentment.
As the days passed, as he spent more and more time with Tang and Zhang's family, witnessed the difficulties of raising their children, heard their actions of selling themselves in order to treat their son's illness, and experienced the fatigue of supporting a portal after becoming a family, Tang Cheng, who was born in the 80s, gradually and sincerely understood the hardships and greatness of his parents.
In later life, his parents were a little negligent to him, but in front of the grace of raising themselves so much, and in the good learning and living conditions they created for themselves, is this negligence really as serious as they thought before?
After nearly two years of life, there were difficulties and hardships, but it was this hardship and hardship that made Tang Cheng's mind truly mature and began to think about and see problems from other angles.
In later lives, is it just their fault that the relationship with their parents is so stiff? I almost never took the initiative to call them after I went to college or even went to work, and I still can't remember their birthdays...... Stumped, I really haven't even made a mistake here?
It's a pity that when Tang Cheng was finally able to think outside of his own thinking and reflect on these issues, it was too late, too late...... The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but the parent is not there...... There is no greater sorrow and regret in life than this......
Massaging Tang Zhang's legs, Tang Cheng was fulfilling the wish in his heart that had traveled through 1,300 years and brought from the afterlife to today, accompanied by the two lines of tears in his heart, he quietly said in his heart: Take care! ”。
Maybe emotions are really contagious, looking at the scene in front of them, Li Yingjun and the blue grass sitting on the side were a little astringent in their hearts, and the blue grass was even more red. Reprint self-see_
At this moment, Li Yingjun finally truly understood his family. how important relatives are to Tang Cheng; While understanding this, her heart was also full of indescribable happiness.
What happened to the first four engagements? What's wrong with others scolding her for being a poisonous widow? God treats her well, her life is not bitter, she is given such a man who regards his family as life, no matter how much she suffers in front of her, no matter how much she suffers, no matter how big her sin, it is worth it, it is really worth it!
The warmth flowed in the room, and no one wanted to talk for a while. I didn't know what to say, so at this moment, the girl came to report that the two aunts and their families had arrived.
Orchid, Apricot Blossom and younger brother Tang Cheng are four points similar in appearance, plus they are tall. At present, he is not very old, but compared with his sister Orchid, although Xinghua is still younger, she is older, and the sadness that emanates from her body is stronger, and the clothes she wears are much older.
Orchid's husband Bao Cheng is a typical shrewd farmer, who looks very honest when he laughs, but his eyes are full of intelligence; Compared with Baocheng, Chen Huagui looks better. It is also better to wear ground clothes on his body, and his bright clothes are in great contrast with the clothes of his wife and children around him.
At this time, the four people and the five children they brought with them were sitting in the porter eating tea and warming up. While drinking tea, he occasionally looked at the porter.
"In charge", Orchid quietly reached over and pulled Baocheng's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Little brother, this is really good, you see, this is just a gatehouse, but it is more magnificent than our hall."
"Needless to say. The brother-in-law is now an official, in charge of the acres of land in Manjinzhou", Baocheng withdrew his gaze from the house layout and furnishings, and said in a low voice: I don't know if my mother told Tang Cheng about it? What kind of charter is he?"
As she grew older, she got married, and in the past few years, there has been little talk between sisters and brothers, not to mention that Tang Cheng has been away for nearly a year. The identity has changed so much. Who knows what he's thinking now.
"Look at you, I usually tell you to go home more early. If you just don't listen, you'll be blind now."
As soon as I heard Baocheng complaining, the orchid stopped working, and the hand that pulled Baocheng's sleeve pinched it fiercely, it's my mother's house, do I still want to go back? You have no conscience, what should I do when I leave home, it's a chicken and a child, you can take care of it, you can cook, if I don't cook a meal, you will be hungry, and you will not lose if you starve to death! ”。
whispered in a low voice here, Chen Huagui was not idle over there, and kept telling Xinghua to let her say more good things in front of Tang Cheng, "Why don't you find an errand for us in the yamen, even if the state government can't succeed, the yali in Yunxi County will also do."
"My mother said that the younger brother has just arrived in the state government for a short time, and the job is not secure!" , Xinghua's voice is very low, and for Chen Huagui, she has a sense of fear in her bones.
"Your mother is an eccentric", Chen Huagui raised his eyes angrily and swept the concierge again, "Just a concierge can be rectified like this, my brother-in-law is living a prosperous life this day!" Look at it, just this small few people who hold tea, they can exchange everything in the pawnshop for the same money, and the two lanterns in the corner over there are still muddy gold! What's all this burning, will he have a hard time? ”。
At this point, Chen Huagui retracted his gaze and stared at Xinghua fiercely, "If he doesn't agree to cry with you, if you dare not say it, see how I pick you up when I go back."
Orchid has three children, Xinghua two children, usually in the village these five children are noisy, but now into the state city, this gatehouse looks different, at this time the five children were captured by the new environment, sitting there honestly, without saying a word or moving.
At this time, Tang Cheng walked in from outside, and when he came in, Orchid and Xinghua both stood up, and they didn't know what to say a little cramped, so they slapped the children next to them and said: It's uncle, call uncle.
The three children in the orchid field were a little strange when they saw Tang Cheng, and the more their parents greeted them, the more they shrank behind the orchid, but Xinghua's three-year-old son was not afraid of people, and called "uncle" in a milky voice.
"Okay", although Xinghua's youngest son is not very well dressed, but he has inherited the advantages of his parents in appearance, he looks very cute, listening to his call, Tang Cheng is also a little warm in his heart, leaning over and hugging the little dog, and greeting a few people with a smile: "It's not close to the state city from home." I'm tired from the road all day, so let's talk while I can."
"Not tired, not tired", Tang Zhang's two then walked in, seeing them, the four orchids had a much more lively face, saying that they were not tired, and beckoned the children to call Li Yingjun's aunt, but at this time, the children rushed to Tang Zhang's side.
"Good, good. It's good to come, it's good to come", Tang Zhang's touched this, touched that, and said with a smile: "Your aunt and uncle have prepared a lot of snacks and fruits today, so you have to eat oil in your mouth."
A large family rushed to the backyard. Lancao went to the kitchen to order food.
When they arrived at the inner courtyard, as soon as those dim sum fruits were taken out, a few children couldn't let go of them at first, and they didn't dare to reach out to see this, and after one of them did it, the others suddenly pounced like a little wolf, and even the little dog in Tang Cheng's arms was anxious to climb down.
At this time, I naturally can't talk about anything serious, it's just some crops at home and what land to buy New Year's goods. Tang Cheng looked at the apricot blossoms who couldn't hide the sadness between his eyebrows and eyes when he forced a smile, and then looked at Chen Huagui's bright clothes, and he didn't get angry. Since the meeting, he has never given him a good face, and he has not said a word.
Chen Huagui first saw Tang Cheng affectionate dogs, but he was still happy in his heart, and at this time, he saw that he was looking for Baocheng to talk, and he couldn't make it up. There was something wooden on his face.
After sitting and talking for a while, and eating some snacks and fruits, Lan Cao came to report that the meal was ready.
Everyone moved to the flower hall, several children got together, and the adults opened another seat, before the banquet, with Tang Cheng's eyes, Li Yingjun took out the happy money that had been prepared for the child for a long time, and one person always used a red rope to string it around the child's neck. It's very festive to watch.
Seeing these two is happy money. Chen Huagui's eyes lit up, and the sullenness just now dissipated a lot.
I have been happy to give money. Everyone officially sat down and drank three lamps together, and then the family banquet officially began.
"Eldest sister, brother-in-law has a drink, younger brother and sister welcome you to come to the house to have a look, and you are more welcome to come often in the future", after the three of them drank together, Tang Cheng put down the wine cup and looked at Li Yingjun next to him with a smile.
After drinking these wines, Li Yingjun's face was flushed, looking at the brighter color, she was twenty-nine years old and older than orchids and apricot blossoms, but at this time, it seemed that her younger brother and sister were much younger than her sister-in-law.
After receiving Tang Cheng's signal, Li Yingjun put down the wine cup in his hand, coughed lightly, and then looked at Baocheng and Orchid and said: "Yesterday, Ah Cheng said that my brother-in-law wanted to help me in the tung oil shop, this is a good thing, kiss or not, family!" With my brother-in-law in the shop helping to watch, Ah Cheng and I can only be more assured. After the next year, my brother-in-law will go to the shop, and learn from scratch, as for the salary, I will first compare it with Mr. Big's example."
Hearing this, Baocheng and Orchid were really overjoyed, "How can this be done?" High, give high".
"Family, what are you polite about", Li Yingjun smiled and waved his hand, "Ah Cheng also said yesterday, if you learn quickly and do well, the tung oil shop will be handed over to your brother-in-law in the future, Ah Cheng is the head of the family, and he will forget it." I'm not a good woman, and I'm not always out there."
This is an unexpected joy for Orchid and Baocheng, and when you enter the shop, you will get Mr. Big's salary, and there will be the hope of a big shopkeeper in the future, what else is there to say, drink! And how can this gratitude be enough for a glass of wine?
Pou Cheng is a wish to be fulfilled and happy. In addition to these, for Orchid, her younger brother and sister gave her such a big face in front of men, which made her even more happy.
Looking at Baocheng and Orchid like this, Chen Huagui's heart was itchy and jealous, but his brother-in-law just accompanied him to drink a glass of wine with Xinghua, and didn't say anything. Just this glass of wine, Tang Cheng's smiling face is still only for apricot blossoms, and it is not salty or light to him.
This frustration made Chen Huagui extremely uncomfortable, but at this time, as the aunt of the Tang family, he was really difficult to speak, so he could only kick Xinghua'er's feet under the table. Xinghua looked at Tang Cheng and Li Yingjun, and then looked at Tang Zhang's family, and finally bit her lip and didn't say anything, Chen Huagui is her man, and she knows what virtue she knows best. Let's not talk about whether he can go or not, if he really wants to get to the yamen, he can only do bad things for his younger brother. She couldn't say anything like that.
She couldn't say anything on her side. Chen Huagui was in a hurry, and when he arrived at the family banquet, his face was already gloomy.
In this regard, Tang Cheng only did nothing, and after eating and sitting idle for a while, he arranged for him to take a bath and rest. Tang Zhang's family was busy bathing a few grandchildren.
"Ah Cheng, the second brother-in-law's face doesn't look right", after witnessing a few people coming out of the house with the girl, Li Yingjun said.
I know", Tang Cheng looked outside the house, shook his head and said: "I deliberately gave him a cold face today, just to see his heart, now it seems that this is a, a man anyway." What do you want, even if your daughter-in-law doesn't tell you, he can't say it generously? Don't even dare to say such things, you still dare to point at such a man to support the door? ”。
"That's ......".
"Wait, wait, wait".
The two were gossiping, and when the girl outside came to report that the second aunt and grandmother had finished bathing and went to the guest house to rest, Tang Cheng stood up suddenly, pulled Li Yingjun and said: "Look."
"Where to go? What for? ”。“ Go to the guest house. As for what to do", Tang Cheng paused for a moment before saying, "Listen to the root of the wall."
The guest house is in the east chamber outside the inner courtyard, and the girl pointed out the room where the two of Xinghua stayed and walked quietly.
"Be quiet." After Tang Cheng whispered a word, he pulled Li Yingjun to the door of the guest house.
didn't have to get so close, Chen Huagui's angry voice was clearly audible, "Lao Tzu asked you to say why don't you say it, you slut ......."
Chen Huagui was holding back his anger for a while, and there were many people in front of him. The bath just now was separated, because he didn't have the opportunity to rush to the apricot flower fire until now, and his footsteps were extremely heavy under his anger in the circle, and he could hear it clearly outside the door, and while walking, he scolded urgently, "Eat things inside and outside, don't forget, you are now the Chen family!" Hinder people. Other women all look at their men well. Just you, a bitch, I can't wait for Lao Tzu to be poor for the rest of my life. ”
Chen Huagui's scolding made Li Yingjun outside frown when he heard it, and looked to the side. Tang Cheng's face was already pale.
Inside the guest house, I didn't hear Xinghua'er's voice, that Chen Huagui vented his anger and scolded, and after scolding his wife, he was not happy, and even Tang Cheng, who gave him a cold face, also scolded him, "What's the big deal, isn't it just a sesame mung bean official, and he dares to fall in front of Lao Tzu, he has been a blood ancestor for eight lifetimes, and so many people died of illness, why didn't Lord Yan take him in last year" Hearing this, Li Yingjun's brain outside the house suddenly exploded, in terms of her experience, the most inaudible thing is this, and she can't hear people say that Tang Cheng is a dead word, even when the husband and wife laughed in the boudoir, Tang Cheng himself said that he couldn't do it.
As soon as his brain exploded, his heart suddenly surged up, and when Li Yingjun was about to go inside, his hand was tightly held by Tang Cheng, "Wait", Tang Cheng's pale face was already iron-blue at this point.
At this time, the voice of the apricot blossoms in the house finally sounded, "Ah Cheng is my little brother, and the only seedling of the Tang family must always accumulate some virtue."
"Koude, your mother's ......", along with the sound of scolding, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and then a crisp sound was heard.
Chen Huagui slapped the bluegrass fiercely.
With this sound, Li Yingjun felt that his hand was loosened, and Tang Cheng had already strode forward.
There was a soft knock on the door.
"What are you crying about!" , Chen Huagui looked at the door, and after whispering to Xinghua who was shedding tears, he walked over and opened the latch.
As soon as the door opened, Chen Huagui saw a hurried black shadow coming to his face, and then he felt a sudden pain on his face, and his body staggered backwards.
A punch hit Chen Huagui's face, and Tang Cheng followed up with another kick, kicking him to the ground.
At this time, Chen Huagui had already reacted, and after lying on the ground and hugging Tang Cheng's legs, the two fought like this.
It's a pity that his size and physical strength are much inferior to Tang Cheng, and after only fighting for a while, he was pressed by Tang Cheng on a small table in the middle of the room and hit the ground without the power to fight back.
This guy was held down and couldn't fight back, and under the pain on his body, he simply released a rogue method, pulling his throat and shouting: "My brother-in-law beat my brother-in-law, oops...... Let's come and see which brother-in-law is beating my brother-in-law."
"It's in my house. You just scream hard", Tang Cheng's subordinate said, adding three points of strength to his hand.
Chen Huagui saw that it was useless to scream, and his body hurt more and more, so he actually splashed, "I'm beating my own family, it's your business?" ”。
"He is your wife, and even more so my sister", Tang Cheng smashed Chen Huagui on the mouth with a heavy fist. With just this punch, the corners of Chen Huagui's mouth immediately broke, and blood came out.
With this heavy punch, Tang Cheng finally stopped, and hehe sneered: "The Tang family also has your turn to fight?" Hunjia? Lao Tzu also told you that from now on it will not be".
"Ah Cheng. Your hand! Wounded a thousand enemies, injured eight hundred, Tang Cheng also had a broken skin on his hand, and Li Yingjun, who was holding his hand, was stunned when he heard this. And while sitting, Xinghua, who didn't say a word and just shed tears, was also stunned.
Chen Huagui looked really embarrassed and embarrassed at this time, and he couldn't speak clearly with blood still bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and said vaguely: It is the Ming Media with three media and six certificates who are marrying, and I want to go to the Yamen to sue you. sue you".
"Let's go to the yamen, okay", Tang Cheng sat down on the edge of the couch steadily. Stretched out his hand and asked Li Yingjun to bandage him with a handkerchief, looking at Chen Huagui with a smile on his face and saying, "Do you know where the state government is?" Or shall I take you there? ”。
Just this sentence, Chen Huagui was speechless.
After waiting for a while, I saw that Chen Huagui was speechless. Tang Cheng's face relaxed, and he pointed to the stool not far in front of him. "Sit down".
Chen Huagui looked suspicious, and it wasn't until Tang Cheng changed his face and snorted that this guy obediently came to sit, but his sitting posture looked really awkward, and he only fell half a **, obviously ready to run at any time.
"That's right", Tang Cheng smiled, "Chen Huagui, let's discuss something."
"I don't have anything to discuss with you."
Tang Cheng didn't care about his lustful and inward-looking attitude. He continued: "Tonight. There are two paths before you; One is that you honestly write a letter of resignation, so that you are good. My sister is good, everyone is good, if you are happy, I have a statement for you here, I dare not say more, it is enough to ask for a wife in the village; Second, if you don't want to write this letter of resignation, then I can only bother with the tolerance of the state government, and get you in now, and when you want to write it, I will come out when I am ready."
As soon as Tang Cheng said this, the house was really shocked, in such a closed place as Jinzhou these years, what a big deal it was to write a book of resignation, but I didn't expect him to say it like this, it was like buying a box of dim sum fruits.
Hearing Tang Cheng talk about prison, the flesh on Chen Huagui's face shook suddenly, looked at Tang Cheng, and then looked at Xinghua'er, whose face was a little dull, and after groaning for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "How much do you express?" ”。
With Chen Huagui's question, Xinghua's body shook, her eyes quietly closed, and two lines of muddy tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
Tang Chengliang shook his palm.
"Five runs?" , Chen Huagui jumped up from the stool, "When I got married, there was more than so much money, but I pulled her to the Chengbei market and sold it, at least twelve or thirteen."
Tang Cheng gritted his teeth, forcibly resisted the urge to step forward and kick him again, and said in a deep voice: "I'm talking about fifty runs!" To paraphrase your words, a first-class girl in the city in the north of the city is only fourteen or fifteen times, and if you want to take all these fifty times, the two children have to stay, and this point must be clearly written in the letter of resignation."
Fifty runs! Hearing this number, the flesh on Chen Huagui's face trembled again, and almost without waiting for Tang Cheng to finish speaking, he couldn't wait to nod and said, "A word is a certainty, but you are not allowed to regret it!" ”
Cheng nodded: "Sun Tzu repented"
Therefore, two days before this Chinese New Year's Eve, Tang Cheng completed the last major event of the year, and he specially invited two colleagues from the Chinese to meet in person, Chen Huagui officially drew a blood charge on the ghostwritten letter of resignation, so far, Xinghua regained her freedom, and the two children were also in her name. Blood charge, as the name suggests, is not used to seal the clay, but to bite the finger to press the handprint, this charge is a painting, never regret.
During this whole process, the second sister Xinghua never said a word of objection. And this is also the thing that makes Tang Cheng feel the most relieved and completely relieved.
