Chapter 59: The Tang Family's Two Living Treasures
The two 18-year-old dragon and phoenix towners who just learned to drive were Xiaoyi's uncle Tang Lixuan, Yishi and Yichen, who came to pick up the airport at the airport. Yishi is the elder brother and was born 12 minutes earlier than his sister Yichen. Although Tang Lixuan is two years older than Xiaoyi's mother, the two children are the youngest in the family, and they are only in their third year of high school this year.
Old Man Tang named the two Yishi and Yichen, which meant to hide in the world, but as a result, the temperament of these two children jumped out of the world one by one. Yishi is a typical sunny boy, and he wants to try anything that young people like.
And Yichen is a typical small pepper in Shu, not to mention jealousy, not to mention hatred, but also a good skill. Yichen is the "Tang Xiaomei" of the Tang Sect's generation, because the old man Tang thinks about the guilt he has felt for his daughter over the years, he loves this only granddaughter even more, and everything she wants to learn is taught to her as long as she can teach.
However, these two demon kings of the mixed world who are not subject to control in the family just listen to Xiao Yi's words. Sometimes they are too noisy, Xiao Yi can let them sit down obediently with a look. Yichen once even said that if anyone bullied Cousin Yunyi, she would definitely make that person regret it for the rest of her life.
After getting off the plane, the two extraordinary young men could be distinguished from the crowd from a distance. The dragon and phoenix fetuses are not alike, and the two are still fraternal twins, so they are not the same, but they are both picking the advantages of the parents to grow up.
"Sister, sister, here." Yichen waved at Xiao Yi from afar.
Looking at this little cousin who was a little out of the way, Xiaoyi's family laughed.
"Little sister, you will always only have your sister in your eyes, and even the fifth brother can't see it." Yun Feng walked over and teased this little girl with a smile.
Xiaoyi's mother is the youngest in the family and has four older brothers, so Xiaoyi also has four uncles.
Uncle Tang Liyao is 60 years old this year. As the patriarch of the Tang family, he manages the huge family business and family industry. Son Tang Xianwen, 35 this year, although he is the eldest grandson of Tangmen, but he is not very interested in medicine, and is now the youngest professor of a Chinese aerospace university, and the second son Tang Zhangwu, 32 years old, inherited the essence of Tangmen's medical skills, and opened a clinic by himself in his spare time.
The second uncle, Tang Lishun, is 57 years old this year, and now manages the Tang Gate with his eldest brother Tang Liyao. is also two sons, the eldest son Tang Biyuan, 29 years old, is also the third son of the Tang Sect, studied medicine with Zhang Wu, preferred to use poison to detoxify, opened a pharmaceutical factory by himself, and is also the head of the next generation of the Tang family; The fourth son, Tang Mohai, 28 years old, studied architectural design, and his graduation project was to renovate the old mansion of the Tang family.
The third uncle Tang Liqi, 55 years old this year, is the most leisurely, and has a very good relationship with his wife.
The fourth uncle is Tang Lixuan, who is also the father of Yishi and Yichen, who is 50 years old this year, two years older than Xiaoyi's mother Tang Mengluo.
Yishi Yichen is the youngest in the family, so he is called the eldest brother, the second brother, the third brother, and the fourth brother in order from Tang Xianwen, although Yunfeng is not a member of the Tang family, he is also called the fifth brother. But Yichen never refused to call Yishi his brother.
"Fifth brother, you actually framed me, congratulations to the fifth brother for opening his first solo exhibition, and he didn't tell us, we only found out later. Aunt, uncle, long time no see. Only then did Yichen turn around and respectfully salute Du Kui and Tang Mengluo, and greeted him. Although Yichen Yishi has a temperament, the Tang family's century-old family, the scholarly family, and the etiquette family, those rules of greeting and greeting have been learned since the two of them could walk. After saying hello, Yichen jumped over and held Xiao Yi's arm.
Du's mother and Du's father returned the salute with a smile. Dad Du likes Yichen very much, for no other reason than because Yichen looks very similar to Du's mother. Xiao Yi's appearance combines the characteristics of Du's mother and Du's father, while Yichen seems to be carved out of the same mold as Du's mother, but her temperament is too different, but they are both the same stubbornness.
"Auntie, uncle, you are here. Grandma has been talking about it for days. If you don't come again, our ears will be calloused. Outside, Yishi is calmer than Yichen, "Sister, I haven't seen you for several years." The fifth brother hasn't seen it for a long time. "Yishi has a very good relationship with Xiaoyi and Yun Feng, especially Yun Feng, who can talk very well.
"Hmph, you're embarrassed to say it, who told you not to go online for videos, you look at me and my sister, ha, sister." Yichen and Yishi have a very good relationship, but they are also very willing to tear each other down, but only in front of their own families, and when they go to outsiders, they will always help their relatives and not help them.
Xiao Yi has been abroad for four years, and Yichen has often gone online for videos, and for her only sister, Xiao Yi is able to help both emotionally and academically. And Yichen is even more willing to tell Xiaoyi her secrets to her only sister.
"Auntie, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, why are you beautiful again? Uncle, you're amazing. Yichen was shocked, but he also said the truth.
"I said Tang Yichen, people say that the adopted daughter is like an aunt, are you indirectly saying that you have become beautiful? Do you want to always praise yourself with this narcissistic boaster? Yishi unceremoniously hit his sister beside him.
"Ha, then you're saying that my aunt is not beautiful?" Yichen fought back unequivocally.
"You ......, auntie, you know I don't mean that." Yishi was so blocked by his sister that he didn't say a word, and hurriedly explained to Du's mother.
"Okay, okay, don't make trouble, you two will quarrel when we meet, and I don't know how the fourth sister-in-law and fourth brother can endure the two of you." Mother Du laughed and teased the two juniors.
"Uncle, let's get in the car quickly, it will be dark in a while, I dare to drive you, maybe you dare to sit."
For Du Kui, the man who choked his grandfather back then, Yishi and Yichen both admired him from the bottom of their hearts, especially Yichen, who liked to be close to his uncle.
got into the car, Yun Feng sat in the co-pilot, originally wanted Dad Du to sit, but Dad Du wanted to sit with Mama Du, so Yun Feng was the co-pilot, and Yichen took Xiaoyi to sit in the second row.
It will take nearly three hours to drive from the airport to Tang's house, and it is estimated that it will be nearly 7 o'clock at about half past three in the afternoon.
"Yichen, why are you and Yishi coming to pick up? You guys don't go to school anymore? Du's mother reacted, these two children are the only ones in the family who go to school, it seems that they are in the third year of high school, how can they pick them up?
"We just finished our midterm exams last week, took four days off, and are in class next week." Yichen replied honestly in the back row.
Mother Du nodded, "Your eldest brother and second brother have all come back?" Du's mother leaned on Du's father's body, turned around and asked.
"The eldest brother said that the school had a task and was sent to Xichang, it would take about a month, and he couldn't come back this time, and the gift for the old man was delivered yesterday. The second brother and the third brother are all back, they work, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, the fourth brother is estimated to be the day after tomorrow, that is, Wednesday night to come back, Thursday is grandpa's birthday. ”
"It's the end of the year, and the fourth brother is still so busy?" Yun Feng guided Yishi to drive in front, listened to the conversation behind him, and asked casually.
Although Yishi has just gotten the car book, he is not very experienced on the road, although he has been in contact with the Tang family since a few years ago, but after all, he has not practiced in a real big city. The Tang family was going to send a driver to pick them up, but Yishi and Yichen didn't let them, Yishi said that he wanted to practice his own car, and Yichen said that he wanted to see his sister as soon as possible, and he didn't want outsiders to be there. Under the repeated assurances of the two, Tang Lixuan, the fourth young master of the Tang family, nodded and agreed.
"The fourth brother originally said that he was going to come back last Friday, but it turned out that he was going to get on the plane, and a phone call came from there, saying that there was something wrong, and he had to be there as the chief engineer, so this push was pushed to Wednesday and shook it to the old lady. Hehe, the fourth brother is miserable, wait for him to come back and see how grandma hammers him. Ha ha. Yichen said schadenfreude later.
The old house of the Tang family is in a very hidden remote town in Shuzhong, the town is called Bixi Ancient City, and the name is said to have been used since the Tang Dynasty. At that time, it was called "city", and now it is just a small town. Ninety percent of the people in the town are surnamed Tang, and there are descendants and side branches. Most of them live in the old people of the Tang family, and there are many old people, so it is said that the medical equipment is very complete, but because the Tang family itself is a family of traditional Chinese medicine, most of the old people die without illness, so the government-run hospital has almost become a decoration. Most of the young people work outside, but the leaves return to their roots, and most of the young people will return to the ancient city of Bixi to spend their old age when they are old.
Although Yunyin Town and Bixi Ancient City have both experienced the baptism of history, the heritage exuded by the two is completely different. If Yunyin Town is a small jasper raised in the depths of the boudoir, then Bixi Ancient City is more like a lady in the Zhumen High Pavilion. Yunyin Town is desirable because of its natural scenery, while Bixi Ancient City is daunting because of the location of Tang Gate. Although the Tang family is not as prominent as the original Gaomen, and it has also disappeared among the major families, its status in Shu is still extraordinary.
Every time she returns to the old mansion of the Tang family, Xiao Yi can't help but think of the scene Lin Daiyu saw when she first entered Jiafu in "Dream of Red Mansions". It's just that the small sedan that Lin Daiyu took to enter Jiafu was replaced with a car.
The opposite side of the Tang family's old house was originally a vacant land, and from ancient times to the present, no family in Shu dared to live in the opposite door of the Tang family, so a few years ago, the Tang family simply bought it themselves and built it into their own parking lot, and it was not a problem to park thirty or fifty cars at a time.
Yishi drove the car to the small door next to the main entrance, parked it, and there was already a servant waiting there. The main entrance of a high-gate mansion like the Tang Gate is generally only opened when there is a big event, such as on the day of the old man's birthday, the Tang Gate will open the door to welcome guests. Usually, the family walks around, and only walks through the small door next to the main entrance. It's a small yard like Little Evian Town's house, and the gate usually won't open.
