Chapter 36: Farewell
Zhao Daping didn't expect He Cuifang, his niece, to be ruthless, and he didn't talk about relatives at all, not only did he not help him take his arm back, but also asked people to tie him up, he was angry and annoyed at the moment, and scolded Lin Yunxuan when he opened his mouth: "You are an unfilial thing, do you treat your elders like this......"
Hmm~Hmm~, Zhao Daping still wanted to continue scolding, but his mouth was blocked by Luo Yao with a strip of rags thrown in the corner, and he couldn't speak, so he could only stare at Lin Yunxuan fiercely.
"Look at what you see, and if you look at it again, you'll gouge out your eyes." Lin Yunxuan clasped her arms with both hands, looked at Zhao Daping coldly, this sentence came out of her mouth lightly, but it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds in Zhao Daping's ears, he unconsciously snorted, like falling into an ice cellar, from the top of his heart to the tip of his toes, so frightened that he quickly lowered his head.
After a while, Zhao Daping was in a cold sweat and trembling all over. He struggled to stand up, but his imprisoned limbs couldn't move, so he had to raise his head and whimper and nod to Lin Yunxuan.
"Ken said that?" Lin Yunxuan hooked her lips and removed the rag from his mouth.
"I said, I said. I, I'm here to find my father's and mother's money. Zhao Daping said with trembling lips.
"Your father's and your mother's money?" Lin Yunxuan wondered, "Didn't you all loot it a long time ago?" ”
Zhao Daping was stunned: "Impossible!" ”
"Heh, you guys are really cheeky, you took all the money yourself, and you came back to beat a rake." Lin Yunxuan laughed angrily.
"If it weren't for the fact that my father and mother secretly left silver for the second brother, how could they have bought land to build a house and an ox cart? They must have hidden the money of their father and mother. Zhao Daping looked angry and forgot about the pain in his arm.
"You really put gold on your face, and you don't look at how many pounds and taels you have. With the ability of your father and your mother, do you think they can save the money that you Huo Huo lost and the silver that your uncle bought land and ox carts? Lin Yunxuan's words were not polite at all.
"For so many years, how your father and your mother have treated my uncle and their family, don't you have any points in your heart? Are they the kind of people who would leave money for my uncle? If they did, the sun would rise in the west. The more Lin Yunxuan spoke, the more angry she became.
Lin Yunxuan's words were like a basin of cold water pouring down from his head and pouring Zhao Daping thoroughly, and he suddenly came to his senses.
Lin Yunxuan is right, with the ability of his father and his mother, it is indeed impossible to save so much silver. The silver used up by their family over the years has not been twenty or thirty taels but ten taels and eight taels, and the binding fee for Zhao Yong, the eldest son of Guangda, to go to school in the town costs three taels of silver a year. The wasteland and ox cart bought by the second brother's family cost at least twenty or thirty taels of silver, not counting the money to build a house.
After thinking clearly about how to calculate this account, Zhao Daping's face turned red and white.
Lin Yunxuan saw that Zhao Daping told the real reason for stealing things, and also fulfilled his promise and asked Luo Yao to take his arm back, but he didn't loosen his tie.
After the groundbreaking ceremony, Zhao Dalin and the others came back, and Lin Yunxuan branched everyone else to prepare for the opening banquet, and only called Zhao Dalin and He Cuifang to the hall. As soon as the two entered the hall, they were very surprised to see Zhao Daping lying on the ground and being tied up with five flowers.
After listening to Lin Yunxuan explain the cause and effect, Zhao Dalin was silent.
He sat down next to Zhao Daping, and after a while, he untied Zhao Daping.
Zhao Daping moved his sour and numb arm, looked up and secretly glanced at Zhao Dalin, and seeing that his face was gloomy, he quickly swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
"You go, don't come back in the future, you are not welcome in our family." Zhao Dalin stood up, glanced at Zhao Daping coldly, turned around, and walked out of the hall without looking back.
Zhao Daping suddenly deflated like a deflated ball. He looked at Zhao Dalin's background in a daze, snorted, and called softly: "Second brother......"
"Let's go get ready for the opening feast." He Cuifang saw that Zhao Dalin was leaving, so she called Lin Yunxuan to leave the hall as well, without even looking at Zhao Daping.
Hula la, all the people in the hall were gone, and only Zhao Daping was left standing alone. He felt that he had no face to stay here anymore, so he went home in disgrace.
The originally joyful groundbreaking ceremony made He Cuifang's mood a little depressed because of this episode. However, the busy kitchen soon made her forget about this matter for the time being.
"Mother, sister, Dad said it was time to have a banquet." Zhao An ran into the kitchen in a hurry and said happily.
Today's opening banquet will be set up in the courtyard of the thatched house. Zhao Dalin borrowed tables and chairs from several well-connected families in the village, and set up a few tables in the courtyard.
The earthen stove in the kitchen was not enough, so in addition to using the earthen stove that they used to make sweet potato vermicelli, they also built a temporary earthen stove.
After the official start of construction, He Cuifang will bring the women who came to help to cook the food and then send it to the construction site to eat for the craftsmen.
"Good! You take the tiger and they put all the dishes and chopsticks in place, and they can serve the food immediately. He Cuifang said while starting to stir-fry with her hands and feet.
After a while, there was a burst of fragrance from the kitchen, causing the craftsmen sitting in the courtyard to crane their necks to look into the kitchen.
Lin Yunxuan cut the fat intestines, pig's trotters, and pig's hearts that were marinated yesterday into small pieces and placed them into a brine platter, and then arranged for Zhao An and them to start serving.
Some of the craftsmen are the first time to eat this braised fat sausage, braised pig's trotters, braised pig heart, at first worried that the taste is very big, they dare not put down the chopsticks, and muttered in their hearts: "Why is the master so picky, we will eat all the water for the pig." ”
There are craftsmen who have bought braised fat sausages in the town to eat, and their eyes lit up when they saw the brine platter on the table. It turns out that the main family is the one who sells braised fat sausages in the town, and now there is a blessing. Hurriedly picked up a piece of fat sausage and ate it with relish.
The craftsman who didn't dare to eat the pig in the water saw that his teammates ate so deliciously, and couldn't help but try a piece of fat sausage, and he couldn't stop this try.
Before the brine platter was finished, He Cuifang's fried dishes began to be served one by one.
Braised tofu, stir-fried greens with lard residue, stir-fried river prawns, braised pork belly with potatoes, winter melon and crucian carp soup, and a large pot full of multigrain brown rice! As soon as these meals were placed on the table, and the original brine platter was added, the whole table was stuffed to the brine.
When the artisans saw these meals, their saliva couldn't stop flowing.
The main family is so hearty! After doing this business for so long, they can have so much meat and vegetables at the starting table, and it is the first time they have met such a generous host.
Normally, men sit at the main table, while women and children eat in the kitchen.
So Zhao Dalin and Zhao An accompanied those craftsmen to eat in the courtyard, while He Cuifang took Aunt Zhang, Yu Yatou and others and the two women who came to help to eat in the kitchen, and everyone's dishes were the same.
"Dalin daughter-in-law, the conditions of your family are really good now, look at this dish, there is so much meat, it is better than what we eat during the New Year." Zhao Chunhua sandwiched a piece of pork belly and couldn't help but sigh.
Their family has a family of about 10 people, and although they have more than 10 acres of land, the conditions are moderate in the village, but they have not been able to eat meat a few times a year. She had forgotten how long it had been since she had eaten meat, but she didn't expect to be able to eat meat and so much meat when she came to help today.
"Yes, yes, look at this pig's trotters, this fat intestine, how good these meats are." Another woman who came to help wiped the grease from her mouth and echoed.
"Sisters, I've left some food for each of you, and I'll take some back for your family to taste when you leave." He Cuifang pointed to a few bowls of dishes on the side of the stove and said. If Lin Yunxuan hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have known to prepare this.
In fact, seeing such a good dish, Zhao Chunhua and the others also thought about the elderly and children at home, thinking that they would eat less, and they could take the rest back and share a point. Who knew that He Cuifang had prepared them all, and she was grateful at the moment, and when she turned around, she met people in the village and said how Zhao Dalin's family was generous and said a lot of good things.
Seeing that everyone was relieved to start eating, Lin Yunxuan breathed a sigh of relief, took off her apron, put a brine platter, a plate of green vegetables and a bowl of rice into the tray, and quietly exited the kitchen while everyone was not paying attention, and sent food to Luo Yao.
Since he tied up Zhao Daping in the morning, Luo Yao went back to the room and never came out again. Lin Yunxuan knew that he didn't like or fit these scenes, so she consciously brought him food.
"I'm sorry, I'm too busy today, and I'm late for lunch." Lin Yunxuan said apologetically while putting the food on the small table.
"I'm leaving tomorrow." Luo Yao looked at the food on the small table, and suddenly said lightly.
"So fast?" Lin Yunxuan exclaimed, and after noticing her gaffe, she immediately adjusted her emotions. Luo Yao's injury was almost healed, and it was reasonable to leave, but she didn't expect it to be so sudden.
"The hero is back? Why didn't you see him? Lin Yunxuan looked up and looked around, hiding her gaffe.
"His name is Yoyichi." A hint of displeasure flashed in Luo Yao's eyes, "Don't call him a hero in the future." ”
"Huh? Oh good. Lin Yunxuan responded, but thought in her heart, it turned out that the hero's name was Yeyi. Somehow an old song came to mind, Yelia, Mystic Elijah, Jeriah......
"Don't you have anything else to say?" Luo Yao raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, have a nice trip." Lin Yunxuan was immersed in that old song and didn't react for a while.
Luo Yao choked and buried himself in eating.
Lin Yunxuan felt that the temperature around her seemed to drop a little, and the second monk was confused, did she say something wrong? She didn't say anything.
Yeyi, who was hidden in the dark, saw that the master was deflated again, and he was about to suffocate his internal injuries with a smile.
Dr. Xuan is so cute, it seems that she is the nemesis of the master. If Dr. Xuan becomes our housewife, will there be a lot more fun in the future?
Yeyi held his cheeks and suddenly thought seriously about this problem.
