Chapter 11: Powder Room
The third sister-in-law smiled and asked, "What does Uncle Tian mean by this?" "Don't thank you, the eldest lady's kindness to someone Tian, someone Tian remembers it in his heart, if the eldest lady can be lucky enough to go to Hebei, someone Tian will saddle the horse before and after, and follow the work of dogs and horses." As he spoke, he slammed his head down.
"Uncle Tian is serious?" The third sister-in-law said lightly: "I'm a woman who doesn't go out of the door all day long, how can I go to Hebei to work for you?" Saying that, he sighed and continued: "Let's go, I don't blame you, after all, the world has changed, and you are not the Uncle Tian who was so powerful back then." ”
Tian Luohan's lips trembled a few times, but he didn't squeak, and kowtowed to the third sister-in-law three times, then picked up the baby and stood up and turned around, but asked the third sister-in-law to say to Xu Si: "Liu'er, send Uncle Tian for me." Xu Si hurriedly stepped forward and saw that the baby in Tian Luohan's arms was opening his mouth and struggling to spit out something, he hurriedly reached out and gently pulled out a piece of silk handkerchief that had been bitten out from the baby's mouth, and the baby gasped a few times, and his mouth was closed and said something.
Tian Luohan hurriedly put his ears on them, but his face changed drastically and he trembled.
He handed the baby in his arms to Xu Si, turned around and knelt in front of the third sister-in-law, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and whimpered in his mouth: "I'm not a human being, I'm treacherous, I'm not as good as an eight-year-old child, you have a lot of spare me this time, and I'm willing to ...... for you."
The third sister-in-law's face was overjoyed, and in a moment she returned to her former cold appearance, and said: "You get up, I don't want you to smear your liver and brain, and I don't need you to stick a knife in your ribs, as long as we said before." Tian Luohan stood up at this time, took the baby from Xu Tian's arms, stood aside and did not speak, as if he was in a state of mind.
At this moment, Xu Wu kicked and staggered in from outside, and when he saw everyone, he was overjoyed, and raised his hand to the third sister-in-law and shouted: "It's done!" After standing up, he said angrily: "Damn......" glanced at the third sister-in-law and hurriedly stopped, and her voice was half a minute quieter.
"I asked Xu Tuzi to take it, and I told him: The fourth brother asked me to come, guess what he said? That bastard actually said that the fourth child is powerful, but there is no real money to benefit, fourth brother, are you talking about human words? Later, I said that the third sister-in-law looked at it, and he said why didn't he say it earlier, and he gave me the things very happily. 〞
"And what's up with your face?" Hearing the third sister-in-law's question, Xu Sicai saw that one side of Xu Wu's face was bulging, and Xu Wu hurriedly covered his hand and squeaked: "I fell, I fell outside just now" and handed over the things in his hand to the third sister-in-law as he spoke.
The third sister-in-law put it in her hand and sneered: "Wang Dashan is worthy of being a great good man, and his shot is five pieces of the ocean, and this kind of handwriting is not common." But you must remember the goodness of others! After that, he handed it to Xu Si, and Xu Si handed it to Tian Luohan, "No, no, no, no......" Tian Luohan was about to resign, and the third sister-in-law said on the side: "Take it, this is yours." Besides, the baby's body still needs to be mended. Tian Luohan no longer shirked, and stretched out his hand to take it.
The third sister-in-law pondered for a while, and said: "About a mile to the west, there are two of our thatched huts, although they are slightly dilapidated but enough to shelter from the wind and rain, there is no shortage of anything inside, I will let Xiao Liu'er take a look with you, what is lacking and then add it, there are two acres of thin fields behind the thatched huts, although the soil quality is not superior, it is also fertile, Uncle Tian and the baby will settle down there." ”
"Then where do I live with my fourth brother?" Xu Wu was anxious when he heard the third sister-in-law's arrangement, "Your fourth brother moved back to live, a big man lives outside all day and doesn't come back, those who know say that he is blind outside, and those who don't know think that I, a sister-in-law, can't tolerate him!" ”
The third sister-in-law paused for a moment, and then said to Xu Wu: "As for you, you should also move home, your mother has looked for me several times, and asked me to persuade you to make it as if our uncle and sister-in-law were together to abduct his son." "Then, can I still find the fourth brother if I have something?" Xu Wu asked a little tangled, "Yes, as long as you don't get into trouble, you can do it at any time." The third sister-in-law replied.
Xu Wu let out a long breath and said happily: "I'll rest assured, let's go!" Brother Tian, I'll take you to recognize the way! Tian Luohan glanced at the third sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law nodded, and said to Xu Si: "You should also go and pick up." Xu Si opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he helplessly walked out behind Tian Luohan.
Looking at Xu Si's back, the third sister-in-law pursed her lips and smiled, "Finally coming back?" She muttered to herself, turned and walked towards the courtyard.
The sky was already bright, and as soon as the sun came out, the heavens and the earth were like fire, and the coolness of the night was gone. Xu Si came back to his senses and took a closer look: he had arrived at the powder room of Wang Shan's house in the west of the village, and the dozen or so big houses with blue bricks and black tiles were surrounded by a huge courtyard, and the people working inside were noisy, one after another, and it was very lively.
When was the ancestor of the old Xu family, the feng shui master invited from the south with a lot of money, and worked hard in this small Xujia Village for half a month, before finally digging in the west of the village, digging out the largest and deepest sweet water well not only in Xujia Village, but also in ten miles and eight townships.
The ancestors of the Xu family built the largest powder room in Quanzhaoyuan City on this well, pushing fans day and night, and the workers reached more than 150 people at the most, regardless of cold and summer, there are always more than 20 carts loaded with full of vermicelli to Longkou Port every morning, and then carry back a cart of mung beans, but now? Xu Si wanted to drink a sip of the water in the well, and it became a luxury!
At its peak, eight of the ten powder villages in Nahuang County were surnamed Xu! Zhaoyuan's fan industry, Lao Xu's family, can account for more than half! But the prosperity of the past is like a passing yellow flower, and the huge family business was defeated by Xu Si's grandfather in one night!
Xu Si's grandmother died on the stone lion in front of the old house, blood splashed five steps, and her brain burst out, saving a safe place for future generations.
Xu Si has not experienced those things, but that does not mean that he has resentment towards his ancestors in his heart, declining his misfortune, and angry with him, this is what the third sister-in-law said when his grandfather was about to be buried, but Xu Si hates the people of the Wang family even more: How can all the properties be changed to the king in a blink of an eye?
Xu Si has sworn since he was a child, to be precise, he swore after the third sister-in-law came after he was eight years old: In this life and this life, he must take back everything that belonged to the old Xu family in the past, and restore the former glory of the old Xu family at all costs!
"It's not terrible to be poor, it's terrible to have no ambition, as long as a man has a purpose, ambition, and no other messy problems, he wants to turn over? It's fast! The third sister-in-law once said to Xu Si with a smile.
