When I returned to Yao's house, it was not yet half past nine. Xiaohu was standing in the hall and scolding Zhao Qingyun. All he scolded was foul language. Zhao Qingyun sat on the threshold of the gatehouse, wearing a short shirt, the sleeves were almost rolled up to his shoulders, revealing two strong arms, and scolded back coldly and warmly. Lao Wen sat on the black lacquer bench on the right side of the second door and smoked a leaf cigarette.

"Mr. Li, you're back," Lao Wen stood up and greeted me.

"What's the matter with him?" I asked, pointing to Xiaohu.

He lost the money and came back to lose his temper, blaming Zhao Qingyun for picking him up early. It was his wife who sent Zhao Qingyun to pick him up. His wife said that he would have to study his homework in the evening, and that he would go to school at seven o'clock in the morning and get up at six o'clock. In fact, where is he studying, but he is just a gangster," Lao Wen shook his head and sighed; "There are always 10 days off in a month, and half a month is late. I went to school for seven years to learn to read and write, but it was just a basket. What a sin! ”

"Didn't the master come back?" I asked.

"It's early. Today, the old man and his wife accompany the old lady to watch the play, and they will not come back until twelve o'clock. The old man was not at home, he lost his temper, and no one paid attention to him. Zhao Qingyun is a tough guy again, he won't let him, it's because he is bored. ”

Xiaohu jumped up and down the hall, scolding × mother × mother, and the words became more and more ugly. Once he jumped off the patio and said that he was going to beat Zhao Qingyun. Zhao Qingyun also stood up, shook his shoulders twice, and scolded back: "Mom, ×, you dare to move, Lao Tzu won't beat you into meat sauce and don't have the surname Zhao!" ”

Little Tiger timidly took a step back. At this time, the bell of the chartered bus and the shouting of the coachman sounded outside the second gate. Xiaohu hurriedly took two steps forward, put his hands in his suit pockets, and smiled proudly: "Okay, you can fight." The lord is back. See if you dare to fight! ”

A chartered bus and two street cars stopped at the second gate. A middle-aged lady in plain clothes, a young lady wearing a cheongsam with two pigtails, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man in a blue school uniform walked out of the car. They stepped into the threshold one after another. Lao Wen lowered his hands and greeted them. They nodded at him.

Xiaohu saw that it was not his father who came back, so he turned around and ran, ran up the stairs of the hall, and stood up and scolded loudly. The lady and the young lady walked past him, and he ignored them. They didn't look at him either. Only the young man stopped and asked him with a smile: "Cousin Tiger, which are you arguing with?" ”

"You don't care!" Xiaohu twisted his body angrily and replied.

The young man smiled casually and went through the side door to the inner courtyard.

"Is this Xiaohu's cousin?" I asked Lao Wendao.

"Yes. This is the widow's aunt's wife, as well as the eldest lady and the second young master. They all know the temper of our young master tiger, and they can avoid it. The old man was not in front of him, and the young master tiger never took them seriously. Mrs. Gu is an elder, you see he doesn't even say hello. Mrs. Gu is the sister of our master, who is less than two years older than him. My aunt died early, and I was left with a field, and my aunt's family could live. The lord kindly took his aunt and wife to live, but I am afraid that because there are many houses in the mansion, I can't live in three of my family. The lord and wife treat their aunts and wives very well, but the young master tiger looks down on others. He often said that his aunt's family did not have much money, and their Yao family had more than 1,000 acres of land. Tian Duo is not handed down from the ancestors! The young lady and the young master are all studying in college, and they never spend money indiscriminately, and many people praise them, which is their own ability. When Lao Wen mentioned Xiaohu, he was angry. As soon as he opened his mouth, he let out this big grumble. I know his psyche, and I know where his anger comes from.

"I must persuade your master one day, if I continue like this, I will not only harm Xiaohu for the rest of my life, but also hurt your wife," I said.

"It's useless, Mr. Lai, it's useless. Our lord just doesn't understand this matter. Moreover, there is also the instigation of the Zhao family. The bad thing is that the Zhao family is richer than our master, and Young Master Tiger believes in money. It's just that my wife's family doesn't have much money, and her family background is worse than our aunt's, so of course Young Master Hu can't look down on it. In the year when his wife crossed the door, he went to Wanjia twice, and he refused to go again when he died. ”

"Who else are in your wife's family?"

"In addition to the old lady, there are also the eldest uncle, the eldest uncle's wife, and the two young masters. The eldest uncle is more than ten years older than his wife, and he teaches at the university, so he has a good reputation. Both young masters went to school in other counties. Although there is not much money, the family lives in harmony. That's like a home! Where is it like the Zhao family, no one does serious things, they only know how to be broad and gamble! Even the people below us can't get used to it. Mr. Li, do you think, Young Master Hu will go to Zhao's house today and Zhao's house tomorrow, how can he not learn badly? ”

"I didn't think you understood it that way," I complimented.

"Mr. Li, you are too complimentary, no matter how clear our subordinates are, what's the use, it's not like being a subordinate for a lifetime! We didn't dare to let out a fart in front of the master. He has read so many books and walked so many places, do we dare to talk back to him? We just want to 'fight for our wife', and we don't dare to spit out a word to the master. Besides, they are a loving couple. Which one outside doesn't say that the lord and the wife have a good relationship! Young Master Tiger went in. Mr. Lai, you should also go into the house and rest. We quarreled with you for a long time. We're going to give you a slap in the face. He pinned the leaf pipe that he had been pinching in his hand to the back of his trousers, shook his head slightly with a sigh, and walked down the patio. I had to follow him into the "rest garden".
