When Li Tao looked at Liu Zhiren, he didn't take into account Liu Zhiren's mood at all. Seeing that Liu Zhiren was about to get angry, he realized that it was very rude for him to do this. Just as he was about to apologize, it happened that Liu Xuan's violent cough came. Liu Xuan's angry gaze at his son naturally allowed Li Tao to catch it.

Li Tao couldn't help but secretly thank Liu Xuan in his heart: Old Master Liu is still quite good, and it seems that he has to give him a salary increase at the right time.

Seeing that Liu Xuan and Liu Zhiren didn't speak, the atmosphere was rather awkward, Li Tao had nothing to say and said, "Old Master Liu, this son of yours doesn't seem to have a good temper?" ”

Liu Xuan glared at Liu Zhiren, nodded and didn't speak.

Liu Zhiren looked at Li Tao's hippie smiling face, and he was angry, and thought to himself: When you meet a scoundrel like you, you can't get better at anyone.

Li Tao continued: "Old Master Liu, why don't we let your son go back?" Stay here, I'm really afraid that he'll make you angry! ”

Hearing Li Tao's words, Liu Zhiren didn't mention how angry he was: this kid is really bad. I was angry because this kid didn't have a trace of respect for his old father and himself. Now he wants to take himself away, and if he really fulfills his wish, I don't know how he will toss his father.

Seeing Liu Xuan nodding slightly, as if he was about to open his mouth to promise Li Tao, Liu Zhiren suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Dad, Zhiren knows that he is wrong!" Please don't drive me away, I promise never to lose my temper again. ”

For the first time, Li Tao saw a man in his thirties kneeling on the ground, crying bitterly and pleading with his father, and couldn't help muttering: "It's so touching, it's so touching......"

Liu Xuan, who was about to angrily reprimand Liu Zhiren, was stunned on the spot when he heard Li Tao's brainless words: Where is this?

Li Tao stepped forward and pulled Liu Xuan's sleeve: "Old Master Liu, you can forgive him once, okay?" ”

Liu Zhiren, who was kneeling on the side, suddenly became angry when he heard this: You are the one who is a wicked person and let me go, and it is you who is a good person who pleads for me.

Seeing that Liu Xuan's face was still angry, Li Tao had no choice but to count Liu Zhiren: "Liu Langjun, it's not me who said you, you are not too young, why don't you understand any reason?" ”

Liu Xuan listened to Li Tao's words as a little adult, and almost burst out laughing in his heart, but his face was still tight.

Liu Zhiren was so crying and laughing by Li Tao that he said: Why don't I understand the reason?

Who knew that Li Tao no longer paid attention to him after speaking, but looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, paced leisurely, and said loudly: "Those who know the times are handsome, and the big husband can bend and stretch, this is an ancient precept that has been tempered and forged through the ages. The wise are good at bending and stretching, the cultivated can bend and stretch, and those who have achieved great things can bend and stretch. Daqu is a must for those who have great wisdom and do great business; Dashen is a must for those who have achieved great achievements, great causes, and great achievements......"

Li Taolang blurted out the content about the eldest husband's ability to bend and stretch, which was his speech in a speech contest in later generations, and he had already memorized it well, so he came easily. Li Tao, who was intoxicated by it, didn't notice that Liu Xuan and Liu Zhiren's father and son's mouths were wide open, enough to stuff an egg.

"Jiang Ziya Creek fishing Yuwen King laid the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years; Zhuge Liang was high and helped Liu Bei establish the Shu State; Han Xin endured humiliation and drilled his crotch and became a famous general of Xinghan; Sima Qian was willing to be corrupted, and finally completed the "Historical Records" to be passed down through the ages...... These are all successful examples of famous people in history. Tao Yuanming refused to bend his waist for five buckets of rice and resigned, although he left a lot of poems for posterity, but his talent for governing the country and securing the people in his chest lost the opportunity to display. is also a Qing official, but Di Renjie adopted a forbearance strategy, outwitted cool officials, and did many good things for the people. This is the reflection left by bending and stretching for posterity......"

Li Taozheng was foaming at the mouth, and suddenly felt that something was wrong: it was too quiet, why didn't there even be a little applause? Oh, forgot, this is not a speech.

He turned around and looked at it, startled: Liu Xuan and Liu Zhiren were stunned and didn't move. The difference between them is only that they are kneeling, while the other is standing. If it weren't for the blinking, Li Taozhen would have treated them as clay sculptures.

Li Tao was frightened by the scene in front of him, and the speech he memorized quite well suddenly forgot it completely, so he had to continue to break it blindly: "Cao Ying...... Several battles have been beaten to the brim...... I remember being chased by Ma Chao and cutting off my beard...... was stopped by Guan Yu in Huarong Dao and pleaded in a low voice......"

Liu Bang...... Capture Xianyang ...... When the power was not as big as Xiang Yu...... Or give it to ......"

Sun Bin ...... Method in my madness...... Saved the surname ......"

"There should be a lot of them...... I can't remember it all at once...... In a word...... The heart of a gentleman can be big or small; The ambition of a husband can bend and stretch ......"

Seeing that the eyes of Liu Xuan's father and son were getting hotter and hotter, Li Tao shouted and fled into the kitchen: "Auntie, I'm hungry, I want to eat......"

"Li Xiaolangjun, what you said is so good, wait for me to ......" Liu Xuan chased after him with tears on his face.

"Wait for me...... Oops...... My leg is numb...... I can't stand up......" Liu Zhiren groaned in pain behind Liu Xuan......

……

"Old Master Liu, do you say it's troublesome to build a house? How many days does it take? ”

Li Tao's house is at the easternmost end of the village, and further east is a reed meadow, and a small road leads directly to Fajiu Mountain. He had already taken a good look at the reed meadow, surrounded by a babbling stream, and the scenery was absolutely nothing to say. Besides, building a house now is not as cumbersome as in later generations, so he decided to build the house first.

"How many are you going to build?" Liu Xuan asked.

"Let me do the math, four larger ones should be free seats, two smaller ones should be private rooms, and there should be a kitchen, a storeroom, and two living rooms. Well, it's only ten rooms! Li Tao pinched his fingers and counted for a long time.

"Nine, so many, let me calculate, at least more than a month!"

"Huh? So long? Li Tao's face was full of surprise.

"That's already the fastest!"

"I really didn't expect that it would take more than a month to build nine thatched huts? That's too slow! Li Tao muttered to himself dissatisfied.

"Wait, Li Bulangjun, what are you talking about? Thatched cottage? Liu Xuan asked suddenly.

"Yes, huts, I need to build nine huts!"

"It turned out to be a thatched hut, why didn't you say it earlier? I thought it was a brick house! It would be much easier if there were a hut, nine huts could be built in three to five days! Liu Xuan laughed.

"Really? That's great, you help me figure out how much it will cost! Li Tao was very happy to hear this.

"Ah, this, it probably costs five times!"
