Chapter 158: Tan Ji's Misfortune
After thinking about it, Tang Wanwan already had an idea in his heart, so he stood up and shouted into the room. "Xiaoyi, sister is going to Tan Ji Carpenter's Shop, will you go with me?"
In fact, she deliberately made such a loud noise, so that Chen Niangzi and Tang Wei could hear it, she didn't have other ideas, but was nearby.
"Hey, I'm coming, I'll go with you."
Tang Xiaoyi, a little clever ghost, heard her shouting outside, hurriedly ran out of the house, and took the initiative to put his little hand in Tang Wanwan's hand. Then he shouted into the house: "Mother, I'll accompany my eldest sister on a trip, don't worry that I will watch her, you are at home." ”
After speaking, he winked at Tang Juan and asked, "Eldest sister, did I do the right thing." ”
Tang Wanwan smiled and scratched his nose and said, "Good job, sister will choose some wood for you later." Her hands were a little cold, but Tang Xiaoyi's hands were hot and warm, and her little hands were holding her hands tightly, as if they wanted to protect her, which made Tang Wanwan's heart a little warmer.
"Golden Retriever, let's go." Tang Wanwan's hand moved, and the golden retriever was a few ups and downs, which fell directly and gently on Tang Wanwan's shoulder, put his head against her head, and made a low "chirp" in his mouth twice, with a little sadness in his voice.
Tang Wanwan understood, the female monkey should have gone. So the Golden Retriever came to her again, and it looked like it wouldn't go away.
It's good that they have a small animal by their side, and they have an extra companion.
"Hey, little monkey, you're back again, are you going to play with me?"
Unexpectedly, the golden retriever was quite arrogant, it ignored Tang Xiaoyi, wrapped its tail around Tang Wanwan's shoulder, and sat on her shoulder.
Tang Wanwan didn't expect that the golden retriever was a little temperamental, and it also recognized people. Thinking that she would stay in this house in the future, she said to the golden retriever: "Golden retriever, this is Brother Xiaoyi, and he will also be your little master in the future." If I'm not at home in the future, you have to protect it. If I knew you had failed in your duties, I would be angry. If you do something wrong, I will send you back and never come back. ”
"Did you hear that?"
Tang Wanwan looked at the golden retriever, the golden retriever looked at her, this person and a monkey looked at each other for a while, and the golden retriever looked at Tang Xiaoyi. Then he rolled his tail, and his whole body was like a swing, climbing directly onto Tang Xiaoyi's shoulder.
Tang Xiaoyi was so happy at this moment, and said to Tang Wanwan with a smile: "Eldest sister, this little golden retriever likes me, it is shocked to play with me." Hahaha. The golden retriever's tail swept over Tang Xiaoyi's face, making him itch all over, and he couldn't help laughing.
Before going out, Tang Wanwan thought about it, went into the hut and took a bag of things to hide in her arms, and then left the house with Tang Xiaoyi, and went to Tan Ji Carpenter's Shop to find Tan Ling, Tan Song brothers and sisters. Tan Song has always wanted to learn the craft from Tang Wanwan.
At first, Tang Wanwan didn't plan to accept apprentices, but judging from the current situation, there are more and more orders, if you don't find a helper. I'm afraid it won't work, even if she is so tired that she vomits blood, she can't be busy alone. Sometimes, there is still strength in numbers. No matter how great the power of the individual is, there is a limit.
It took less than two sticks of incense to come to the Tan family's carpenter shop with her younger brother. Tang Xiaoyi did things for her sister. I've been here twice, so I knocked on the door.
When everyone saw that Tang Xiaoyi was such a young child, he would do things for the family, and they all felt very novel, and they came to see it one by one. Tang Xiaoyi was not afraid at all, and he did it well, not much worse than what the older children did. The key is that he can also do arithmetic, what kind of wood, how much, how much to pay, how much to find him, and in less than a while, he will be clear. Everyone said he was a little prodigy. Tang Xiaoyi didn't care, it was not all the credit of his sister, after he memorized the multiplication formula, his arithmetic level improved by leaps and bounds, and even he himself was a little unbelievable.
But what makes him happy is that pretending to be forced in front of others is quite interesting.
It's strange why the carpenter's shop isn't open today, but the door is closed.
"Brother Tan Song, Sister Tan Ling, I'm here, open the door quickly!"
Tang Xiaoyi knocked on the door and shouted at the same time, shouting several times in a row.
Only then did I hear footsteps, and it was a woman with some faces who opened the door. He looks like he is in his fifties, his appearance is a little miserable, and it is estimated that the living conditions are not very good, with a vegetable face and dark circles under his eyes. This is caused by long-term overwork and staying up late.
She seemed to glance at Tang Wanwan, then at Tang Xiaoyi, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry for the two of you, I can't entertain you in my store today." ”
Seeing that she was about to close the door, Tang Wanwan stepped forward directly and pulled the door. "Wait, what's going on here? I am good friends with Tan Song and Tan Ling, and you just said that Tang Wanwan came to them for something. ”
"I'm sorry, it's really inconvenient for us to meet customers."
Tang Wanwan pulled the door panel tightly and said, "Auntie, I am a friend of Xiaoling and Xiaosong." I genuinely care about them, and if something happens to you, you can tell me and I'll see if I can help you come up with an idea. ”
The woman saw that Tang Wanwan was so persistent, and saw that she talked well, although her clothes were ordinary, she had an empathetic face, which made people inadvertently feel a little closer. She thought that the two siblings were leaving, and it would be better for them to meet. She just nodded and said, "Alright then, you guys come in!" ”
However, after walking in, Tang Wanwan was stunned by the current situation of this carpenter shop. It's just a while, I didn't come, how did this place become so dilapidated. The furniture was covered in dust, and a lot of it was semi-finished. There is an extra piece of wood on the ground, and a plank on the west, which is a mess. In Tang Wanwan's eyes, these furniture styles are certainly not worth mentioning.
What surprised Tang Wanwan was that there was a strong sense of defeat. Look at the dust piling up on that table. Isn't it been closed for a long time?
No, she'll have to ask. If she could help, she wouldn't be on the sidelines. After all, they have also helped themselves a lot, and Grandpa Tan is not bad.
Thinking of this, Tang Wanwan followed the aunt into the inner hall in three steps and two steps. I have to say that Mr. Tan is quite good at dressing up, he has been a carpenter all his life, and Tan Ji has also devoted his whole life to the old man. This backyard is decorated with an antique style, if it is not for the neglect of care, here is a little remodeling, get some flowers and plants, it is really very suitable for living.
"Miss Tang, please be seated. I'll go and call them out. ”
However, not long after the aunt entered, she suddenly heard a cry in the house. It was the voices of Tan Song and Tan Ling, who shouted sadly Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, don't go! Tang Wanwan listened to the voice, and there was a "grunt" in her heart, and a bad premonition came to her heart, Old Man Tan seemed to have passed away.
What the hell is going on, Old Man Tan has always been in good health, why is it just a few days of hard work, and if he says no, he can't do it.
