Chapter 13: Give Up?
Tao Laohan stopped his foot, turned his head and glared at Ma: "What are you scolding?" Do you have what it takes? Then you look for it! If you can find it, I'll take it! ”
Ma didn't expect Tao Laohan to choke himself like this in front of his son and daughter-in-law, and he fried the pot right away.
She sat on the ground, slapped the ground with both hands, opened her throat and cried, crying and scolding Tao Laohan for having no conscience......
“…… I didn't have to run away with the piglets, and came back to throw fire on me, I can't live this day......"
Tao Laohan lost the piglet, his heart was very upset, this time he heard Ma's crying, the old man's brain was hot and roared back directly: "If you can't get over, you can do it, scatter the ball as soon as possible, howl and howl, you will know howl, Lao Tzu has not lost his breath, you howl a ball!" ”
Ma Shi was completely dumbfounded, and froze in place and forgot to react for a while.
In the dining hall, Tao Laohan was holding a dry tobacco pole and smoking a stuffy cigarette.
Ma didn't make any more fuss, sat aside and wiped his tears, muttering very aggrieved in his mouth.
The eldest son, Tao Wangsheng, squatted next to the corner, drooping his head and not saying a word.
Everyone else was also sitting or standing, and the canteen, which obviously housed five or six families, was strangely quiet and depressing at this time.
Everyone dared not come out, and the sound of needles falling to the ground could be heard.
Tao Laohan put the dry tobacco stick in his hand on the table, breaking the strange silence.
"People are unlucky, they stuff their teeth when they drink cold water, hey!"
Old Tao sighed heavily, and then said: "Today, our old Tao family really planted a big fight, and the two live piglets were lost, this is really a ridiculous thing that has never happened, ruined and embarrassed!" ”
"Without those two piglets, our old Tao family will have to cut back on food and clothing this year, hey, let's talk about it, what should we do next!"
After Tao Laohan finished speaking, his majestic gaze swept over everyone in the dining hall, and everyone drooped their heads, not matching his gaze.
Tao Laohan frowned, and his eyes fell on Tao Wangsheng's body: "Wangsheng, you are the boss, you tell me what to do!" ”
Tao Wangsheng raised his head and smiled bitterly at Tao Laohan: "Dad, what else can I do here?" Tomorrow morning, I will continue to go into the mountains to look for it, and I can't give up after looking for a night! ”
Tao Laohan nodded, and was about to speak, when the second Tao Chunsheng spoke: "Big brother, this spring is cold, I don't know how cold it is in the mountains at night, even if the two piglets are not taken by the wolf, they have to freeze to death, what else are you looking for, I think it's better to forget it, I think it's unlucky......"
Tao Wangsheng said: "Second brother, you can't say that, not to mention that we don't have those two piglets, the next year is important, let's just say that the money we catch piglets is still borrowed from relatives and friends, hundreds of dollars, don't go to find it, what will we pay back people's money?" ”
Tao Chunsheng was speechless, but he was unhappy in his heart.
Tao Laohan sighed again, and when he was at a loss, a voice suddenly came from outside the house: "Is there anyone in the house?" ”
Listening to voices is a young offspring.
Tao Chunsheng happened to be sitting near the door of the canteen, and when he heard this, he turned his head and shouted angrily outside: "Which one are you?" What's the matter? ”
Outside the house, the latter seemed to pause, and after a while, he spoke up again: "I am the grandson of the third room of the old Zhao family in Xitang Village, and I have come to send piglets to the grandfather of the Tao family." ”
Before everyone in the house could react, Tao Laohan jumped up from the stool and rushed into the courtyard outside like a gust of wind.
