This chapter is also known as - Between Brothers

－－－－－－－－－－－

The two drank for a while, and the potter sighed again. Tian Fan saw that he sighed too much today, which was not in line with his optimistic style, so he asked, "Brother, what are you worried about?" Tell me about my brother, maybe my brother can give you an idea? ”

The potter sighed heavily and said, "I quarreled with Brother Ying!" Tian Fan wondered, these brothers have always been inseparable, Meng Meng is not defocused, they are like conjoined people, how can they still quarrel?

Tian Fan asked, "Oh? Why? The two brothers have always gotten along well, so how could they quarrel? ”

The potter sighed, just shook his head, but was not in a hurry to speak. I drank the burning knife in the cup in one gulp, squeezed my eyebrows for a long time, and let out a deep breath, then I put the cup heavily on the table and said: "Brother Xian, if you are drunk for my brother, you will treat me as if I am talking nonsense!" ”

Tian Fan wondered, he knew the amount of wine of this potter, where is this? The potter continued: "The son does not say anything about the father's fault, I am drunk, and what I say is nonsense!" Tian Fan finally understood, this guy probably has an opinion on his old man, and he can't say it when he is sober, only now that he is half-drunk and not drunk, even if he is talking nonsense, he dares to say it.

Tian Fan hurriedly said: "Okay brother, brother don't worry, what you said today will come out of your mouth and enter my ears." As he spoke, he picked up his cup and poured it down, and he squeezed his eyebrows for a long time before he continued: "Brother, do you see it, the younger brother is also drunk, what I heard today, what you said, I won't remember it tomorrow." ”

The potter looked at the empathetic little brother and smiled. nodded and said, "Brother Xian, my old man is eccentric!" He was eccentric when he was alive, and he was still eccentric when he died! The pottery merchant is a filial son, and he said that Tao Qian "after he died", which shows how deep his resentment against Tao Qian is!

Tian Fan asked, "Brother, how do you say this?" ”

The potter continued: "When he was alive, my monthly income was only one-third of that of my second brother! Every time my brother made a mistake, he hit me! If he doesn't learn well, he doesn't punish his second brother, but he punishes me for kneeling for an hour! ......" The more the potter spoke, the more angry he became, the more excited he became, and suddenly grabbed the cup on the table and slammed it to the ground!

As soon as Tang heard the movement, he hurriedly entered the house. Tian Fan waved his hand at him, and Tang Yi turned around and went out.

The potter continued, "Do you know what his legacy was before he died? He said that my two brothers can't split the family, and if they do, I can only get a tenth of the property! …… I'm the eldest son! The second brother is a concubine! You inquire, does my whole Han have such a father? Why do I work hard all day long, and my second brother spends all day setting up eagles and lackeys, drinking**, but my father can't see my efforts? Why is he so eccentric! After saying that, the potter cried bitterly! To be honest, most of the potter's words are true, but the part where he says that he works all day for household chores is false. This guy is similar to Tao Ying, and every Qinglou hotel in Xiapi has left his footprints. However, he took care of the Tao family's business, which is true.

Tian Fan looked at the criing potter, holding the cup, slowly sipping the wine in the cup, but did not speak. He knew that the potter's dissatisfaction was too deep, and if he didn't vent it like this, he would fall ill one day.

In fact, the crux of the matter was that he felt that Tao Qian was biased and that he had been wronged. In China's 5,000-year history, except for the last few years, it is common for a couple to have multiple children, and it is too difficult for so many children to be equal to each child. Inevitably, there will be questions of who is good for and who is not. This situation is actually quite terrible, and it often causes disagreement between children and unfilial piety of children. …,

A child who is too spoiled often feels that the love he receives is not enough, and that he can have more. This is the harm of habit, a person is accustomed to a certain person's free giving, he will feel that it should be like this, otherwise, he is not happy! The other thinks that he is a foil, maybe he doesn't dare to hold a grudge against his parents, but he will definitely hate his doted brother. In the long run, the bane of brotherly discord will be buried. And when the children are grown up and it's time for them to support their parents, there are often more problems. For example, a child who has not received much love will think, you didn't love me back then, and I don't honor you now. And what about children who are more cared for, they often think, why don't they honor you, I have to honor you? What the? You ask you were so good to me back then, why didn't I treat you well? Nonsense, you were kind to me back then, that's how it should be! Who made you give birth to me? If you give birth to me, you have to raise me!

In other words, everyone knows that this matter is quite serious, but parents who do not have great wisdom can't make a bowl of water evenly. Under normal circumstances, parents of multiple children will be a little biased, generally the largest or the smallest, otherwise life is the hardest. Of course, it is not excluded that some parents will be partial to the best one, for this kind of parents, Tian Fan doesn't know what to say about them!

Easily, the potter calmed down, he wiped his tears, and said to Tian Fan embarrassedly: "Brother Xian, I lost my temper for my brother!" Tian Fan nodded in understanding and said, "It's okay, brother, have you forgotten?" We're all drunk! ”

The two of them looked at each other and laughed. Tian Fan then said to the potter: "Brother, the younger brother asks you a few questions, and you have to answer them truthfully!" The potter nodded and said, "Brother Xian, please speak!" ”

Tian Fan asked, "Which hand do you use to hold the chopstick?" ”

Mi Zhu asked suspiciously: "What is the reason why the virtuous brother is asking?" Tian Fan said expressionlessly: "Brother, don't interject, please answer the question!" The potter was very uncomfortable with being questioned by Tian Fan, he moved his butt a little uneasily, and replied, "Right hand!" ”

Tian Fan asked the second question, "Which hand do you use to hold the sword?" The potter wanted to ask again, but when he saw Tian Fan's expression, he didn't dare, and replied obediently: "Right hand!" ”

Tian Fan asked the third question: "A bowl full of boiling water, which hand will you use?" The potter replied, "Right hand!" ”

Tian Fan asked the fourth question, "If there is a basin of boiling boiling water with meat boiling in it, and you have to use your hands to scoop the meat, which hand will you choose?" The potter was even more puzzled, what is the problem? But he still replied obediently: "Right hand!" ”

Tian Fan asked the fifth question: "If there is a pot of fire in front of you, and chestnuts are burning in the fire, and you have to use your hand to pick the chestnuts from the fire, which hand will you choose?" The potter was even more uneasy, and returned tremblingly: "Right hand! ”

Tian Fan said: "The sixth and last question. If someone were to chop off one of your hands, which one would you choose? ”

The potter was startled, couldn't sit still any longer, jumped up suddenly, and asked, "Brother Xian, don't scare me, what is your problem?" ”

Tian Fan smiled and said, "Brother, you don't have to worry, I didn't say that I was going to cut off your hand, I just asked you a question, please answer truthfully!" ”

The potter looked at Tian Fan, then raised his two hands, looked at his left hand, then looked at his right hand, and then looked at his left hand, and finally glanced at Tian Fan with a little weakness, and replied in a low voice: "Can I choose not to cut both hands?" Tian Fan smiled and nodded, and the potter also smiled, and let out a sigh of relief, as if he was worried that Tian Fan would really cut off his hand.

Tian Fan suddenly stopped laughing, and said solemnly to the pottery merchant: "Brother, you are Tao Envoy Jun, your left hand is Brother Zhongning, and your right hand is yourself!" After saying this, Tian Fan stopped talking, but drank a little wine, ate side dishes, and glanced at the potter from time to time, looking very enjoyable. …,

After hearing Tian Fan say this, the potter looked at him in confusion. Tian Fan didn't speak, and paid attention to the potter's reaction while eating and drinking. At this time, the potter was already frozen, and his eyes were fixed on Tian Fan, but Tian Fan could see that his eyes were not focused.

After a while, Tian Fan saw that the potter's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was becoming more and more obvious, and he knew that he was probably about to figure it out.

Suddenly, the potter stood up suddenly, straightened his clothes, gave Tian Fan a deep salute, and said, "Brother Xie Xian will relieve my worries!" ”

Tian Fan hurriedly helped him up and asked, "Brother, have you figured it out?" ”

The potter nodded, and said with a relaxed face: "Hehe, yes, brother Xian, I figured it out." I don't want to lose my hands, so why would my father want my brothers to be hurt? I chose to use my right hand to hold the chopstick, carry the water, scoop the meat, and take the chestnuts because the left hand can't do it, but the right hand can. I thought my father was partial to my second brother, but in fact, my father was relieved of me! ”

After hearing this, Tian Fan saluted the potter and said, "Congratulations to my brother!" He smiled again and said, "Now you can face Brother Zhong Ning, right?" The potter smiled embarrassedly and nodded. The two sat down and continued to eat and drink.

The potter picked up the cup and said to Tian Fan: "Brother Xian, you solve your brother's doubts, and my brother respects you with a cup!" Do it first for your brother! After saying that, he drank dry.

Tian Fan hurriedly said: "Brother, don't be polite, the younger brother knows that the elder brother just can't figure it out for a while, and after a while, the elder brother will naturally figure it out." ”

The two of them ate and drank until the sun was nearly set, by which time the potter was already drunk. Tian Fan asked Tang Yi to send him home, and he hurried to ask his parents for peace. The old man scolded him again, saying that he was not doing his job, he had already taken refuge in Liu Bei, and he was eating, drinking and having fun with a group of fox friends and dogs all day long, are you worthy of the money given by Liu Yuanjun? Tian Fan was obediently trained, well, who made you Lao Tzu? His mentality is very good, old man, sometimes he should be coaxed!

Early the next morning, the pottery merchant and Tao Ying brothers came to thank Tian Fan, and Tao Ying said that he would invite Tian Fan to go to Xuzhou's largest green building to drink flower wine Yunyun, and no longer go into details.
