Chapter 60: The Tang Family

"Uncle, aunt, we're here." After the car drove away, Yichen, Xiaoyi and Du's father and mother almost fell asleep in the back, and only Yun Feng was strong and energetic to accompany Yichen to talk and refresh. After nearly four hours on the plane and nearly three hours on the bus, Xiaoyi and they were all a little tired.

Several people got out of the car in a daze, and were blown by the cold wind, and suddenly felt a lot more energetic. The maid carried a few pieces of luggage out of the car and to the accommodation, and then someone drove the car back to the parking lot.

"Aunt, uncle, let's go in quickly, the old lady is probably in a hurry. It's still so cold outside. After jumping on the spot twice, Yishi couldn't help but say, turned his head to look at Yichen, who was also shivering, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Let you wear two more clothes, and put them in the car, look at you, now you know it's cold." ”

"Tang Yishi, you are embarrassed to say. Look at the uncle and the fifth brother, you said that they are all men, and they are all brothers, why is the gap so big! I'll give you a chance to perform, you don't even know how to fight for it. Yichen shot back unceremoniously.

Yishi looked at Du Kui and Yun Feng, it turned out that before he got out of the car, Du's father put the coat on Du's mother's body, and he didn't expect that his daughter Xiaoyi would be cold. And the clothes on Xiao Yi's body were put on by Yun Feng when he got out of the car.

Scratching his head, Yishi seemed to think about it seriously, and took off his coat and threw it to Yichen quite generously. "It's a thing, it's a thing."

"Cut." Taking the coat, Yichen snorted twice, "It's pretty much the same, you have to learn a little more." ”

Yishi was aggrieved in his stomach, he contributed his own clothes, not to mention thanks, but he didn't even hear a good word.

glared at Yichen twice, and turned around and entered the door first.

The Tang Mansion covers a large area and is divided into old houses and new houses, and the new houses are seen in the continuous expansion of the periphery on the basis of the original old houses. In the old mansion lives the branch of the Tang family, guarding the ancestral hall and the family lineage. Xiao Yi's four uncles all lived in the old house, and the path was built between each courtyard, and the gate was closed by a single family.

Xiao Yi heard when she was very young that the foundation of the old mansion of the Tang family is where the family line of the Tang family is located, as long as the old mansion does not fall, then the Tang family will always prosper. Xiao Yi doesn't know how accurate this is, but at least, from Xiao Yi's birth to the present, the Tang Sect, a family that has been around for thousands of years, has not had a bit of old age, but has become more and more prosperous.

Walk through the cloister and go around to the old lady's courtyard. The yard is a variety of flowers planted by the old lady herself, but in Shuzhong in December, the weather is foggy, and the general flowering period has already passed, so only a few sporadic flowers that can't be named are still firmly open, most of them have been thanked, and the yard looks a little bare.

The courtyard was bustling, and the servants were busy running before and after. It was just after seven o'clock, and I thought I had just had dinner. When they came, Du's mother said not to wait for them to eat. When the Tang family has dinner, someone must accompany the old man and the old lady to eat, and whoever is at home will eat.

"Oh, the eldest lady's family is back, you can be regarded as back, the old lady has been talking about this for several days." Coldly, I heard a hearty voice from the corridor, which startled a few people who had just entered the door.

"Mother Wu......"

"Grandma Wu......"

Several people at the door greeted together. This Wu family was originally a girl who came with Mrs. Tang when she got married, and later married the old housekeeper of the Tang family. This year is also 75 years old, but the body is tough, since the age of 17 with the old lady, never left the Tang Gate in his life, nor did he raise his own children, since he was a child, he watched these five brothers and sisters of the Tang family grow up, and they were treated as their own children, and they were highly respected in the Tang Gate. Now he also lives in the old mansion of Tangmen, and talks and chats with the old lady every day.

The servants raised the curtains, and Xiao Yi and his group of six people walked into the house. Old Man Tang and the old lady sat on both sides of the Eight Immortals table, and because there were too many people next to them, Xiao Yi couldn't recognize them for a while.

Old man Tang will celebrate his 80th birthday this Thursday, the old lady is 81 years old, Xiaoyi was busy with her graduation project when she celebrated her birthday last year, and the old lady didn't recognize her little granddaughter running back and forth, don't say you don't have to come back. When the old lady married Mrs. Tang, she was a decent old girl in those days. The old man is tough and stubborn, but he has never blushed at the old lady in his life. Xiaoyi's grandmother was raised according to the typical ladies of that era, but she went to a Western-style school, so she has her own opinions and opinions on things in her bones.

Because Du's mother refused to listen to the old man's words and stayed away from Shuzhong, the old lady was really distressed for a long time, so except for Du's father, she didn't even have a good face with the old man. But for Xiao Yi, the only granddaughter, the old lady hurts to the bone, Xu wants to make up for what she owed to her daughter back then, and sometimes it is even better than her granddaughter Tang Yichen.

"Look, Grandma, I've got you all the people back. My dad wants to talk about me again, you have to help me. As soon as he entered the door, Yishi shouted. Mrs. Donald smiled from ear to ear, and shed tears as she laughed.

"Okay, okay, they're all back. Yiyi, come over and show grandma. You kid, it's been so many years since you left......" said that tears fell even more.

"Oh, old lady, it's a good thing that you're back, don't cry." Grandma Wu persuaded beside her, but she shed tears first.

Xiao Yi hurriedly walked over, "Grandma." When a sentence came out, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, "My granddaughter is not filial, and she hasn't been able to come back to celebrate your 80th birthday." As he spoke, tears fell. I haven't come back to see my grandparents for four years, and I don't want it to be fake. Looking at her grandmother who was full of silver threads and had a good complexion but was already wrinkled, Xiaoyi's guilt in her heart was even worse, her grandparents were old, and she would see it once less, and she would remember not to do it again in the future.

"Grandpa." respectfully greeted her grandfather, and Xiao Yi sat down again with her grandmother in her arms.

"Mom, Dad." Du's father and Du's mother stepped forward side by side to salute. Old Man Tang nodded with half-squinted eyes, "Hmm." "Some of them don't answer.

"You stubborn old man, how many years have you been like this. Death to save face. Mrs. Tang slapped the old man beside her.

The old man has a stubborn temper, although he loves his little daughter in his heart, and he really can't find any dissatisfaction with this only son-in-law, but every time he goes home, he always has to put on his face first, but after half a day, he can drag Dad Du to the study. There is no other reason, although the old man is proficient in medical skills and poisons, but his only hobby is painting, and he is dissatisfied with Du's father abducting his daughter, but Du Kui Du Banshan's name has to admit the status of the painting world.

"Ah Luo, halfway up the mountain, you're back. I'll let the kitchen serve you a hot meal, and I'll go back early to eat something hot, I'm tired today. The old lady looked at her daughter and son-in-law sitting on the side, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became.

When Tang Mengluo followed Du Kui, Du Kui was just a young painter who had just emerged. Mrs. Tang has actually always had a good impression of this young man, without the empty eyes of many young artists, unrealistic, and without those quirks, not a lot of words, and a bookish atmosphere. If there is no such thing as "elopement", the old lady is 100% satisfied with this son-in-law.

"Yunfeng, what are you doing standing there, come here, sit on Grandma's side." As he spoke, he patted the other side of his side. "Oh yo yo, look at it, this is getting more and more handsome. Do you have a girlfriend? When I asked you last year, you said that you would bring it back this year, but my grandmother had been waiting for it for a year. If you have it, you can bring it back to your grandmother. The old lady rubbed Yun Feng's hand and said with a smile.

For this grandson, who is not related to herself, the old lady has always served a bowl of water very flat. He has five grandsons, and there has never been a shortage of Yunfeng. In addition, Yun Feng himself is very likable, and he has been raised by Du's mother since he was a child, which is no different from his own life.

"Five boys," the old man took a rare pick next to him, although he didn't treat his son-in-law very much, but for his grandson, who was also a little accomplished in painting, the old man was very welcome, "I only knew from watching the news that you opened a personal exhibition a while ago." Hmph, you stinky boys now, don't you know if you have any news to tell us, we have to watch the news if we want to know your news. ”

"Grandpa," Yun Feng scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "It's not a big deal if I don't add it up, and my parents didn't go to see it." You say, if I tell you this, they won't say that I came to show off the city of you. ”

"Hmph," the old man turned his head and glared at Du's father and Du's mother, then turned his head and glared at Yun Feng again, "It's not a big deal?" So what's the big deal, and what do you want to do? And you, hmph, don't come back now that there's news. The old man said and said, and brought Yishi and the third son Tang Biyuan in, "I went back to school and won the first place, and I didn't come back to say that the third child developed a medicine, and I don't know if it has become a national secret recipe." Now, all of you have the ability, this is to see that I am old and no longer need it. Hum. The more the old man talked, the more angry he became.

The other two can only laugh, they can be shot while lying down, who has anything to say. Yun Feng squeezed his eyes at the two of them, can he be accompanied, I'm really sorry, two brothers.

"What about the work?"

"Naturally, I brought it back, but there are a lot of them, and some of them you have seen before, so I only brought most of them back. Ming'er, I'll take it to your study. Yun Feng hurriedly replied

"Hmm. Meet your second uncle. ”

When Xiao Yi just sat next to her grandmother, she had already carefully looked at the people in the house. When I came in, I felt that there were a lot of people in the house, but it was because I had just eaten and everyone was there, but now that they have all withdrawn, I suddenly feel a lot quieter.

According to the rules of the Tang Sect, when the two old ones are talking, the other junior characters must not interject. So although Xiao Yi and the others entered the house, because they had been talking to the old man and the old lady, they had not greeted the other people in the house.

"Second uncle, second aunt is good. The third brother is good. Xiao Yi and Yun Feng got up to say hello to the others. In addition to Yichen and Yishi in the house, only the second uncle's family accompanied the two old ones to eat today.

The others also greeted each other, "Yunfeng, you will go back to eat in a while, and if you have time to come to me, I will show you something." "The third brother Tang Biyuan is close to Yun Feng because he is close in age to Yun Feng, and he is not as old and serious as the second brother Zhang Wu, so he is very close to Yun Feng.

"Go back and get some rest, don't go anywhere today. Your fifth brother, they just came back, and I don't know if I want them to rest. The old man held back the word "hey" that Yun Feng was about to promise in his mouth. looked at the third brother Tang Biyuan and pursed his lips.

"Grandpa, you have to snatch Yun Feng for most of the day tomorrow, and they won't be back for long." The third young master of the Tang family muttered unconvinced. The old man glared, and immediately his arrogance disappeared.

Yishi and Yichen watched their two elder brothers being reprimanded, gloating and snickering, and Tang Biyuan grinned at them and threatened. Xiao Yi looked funny, but looking at the grievances on his brother's face, he felt a little unbearable, thought about it, and took over the conversation,

"When will the eldest uncle and fourth uncle come back?"

"Your third uncle just added a great-grandson yesterday, your eldest uncle and aunt and your second brother went over to see on our behalf, your fourth uncle was just called away, something happened." The old lady replied with a smile, and looked at the room full of people and was happy. Seeing the way the old man taught his grandson, I also knew that he was happy.

"You said that your third uncle has two great-grandchildren, look at you, ah, when can I hug you if you don't do your job all day long." It's okay not to say it, but when I say it, the old man is angry again, the eldest grandson Xianwen is 35 years old, but he has never been married because of work. The second grandson Zhang Wu is 32 years old, and he has a girlfriend, but he has been refusing to get married for some reason, saying that the eldest brother has not yet married, and there is no reason for the younger brother to get married first, and the woman does not urge. Not to mention the third and fourth.

Xiao Yi laughed in her heart, brothers, I'm really sorry for you, I wanted to relieve you.

"Okay, okay, you said you, you know Xun grandson, no wonder you don't come back, okay, Okay, Ah Luo, you go back to pack up and eat something first, I'm tired enough to choke today." Although the old lady was also anxious to hold her great-grandson, she still couldn't bear to see her grandchildren being trained.

Yun Feng hurriedly nodded yes.

After chatting briefly for a while, they all dispersed back to the courtyards.
