CHAPTER XVI
There is a clearing in the middle of the village, and the land is sunny, and when the sun is good in winter, many people in the village gather there to bask in the sun and chat.
There is no leisure and entertainment in the winter, and everyone gets together to talk about nothing more than a few things.
For example, whose family is having a hard time, whose family is going to marry a new daughter-in-law, which old man is dying, and whose man beats his daughter-in-law, which woman looks like she will steal people.
Whenever there is a new thing, it will spread very quickly here.
Tan Sang ate breakfast and watched the sun get better and better, so he walked out of the house with his sleeves in his hands.
His house was close to the clearing, and it didn't take much to get there.
He crossed his hands with a smile on his face.
When the idler saw Tan Sang, he greeted him: "Uncle, sit here." ”
Some people who are about the same age laugh: "You can be considered reluctant to go out, I see, this dress is bright today, and it was made by the newly married daughter-in-law?" ”
The new daughter-in-law asks for filial piety to Aunt Weng, and usually does two pieces of needlework.
Tan Sang sighed when he heard it: "Where, don't you know, my daughter-in-law is honest...... is still lazy and gluttonous, doesn't do any work, can't leave the house until the meal is ordered, and has been married for so many days, not to mention a single meal, and has not even boiled saliva. ”
Liu San, who had a good relationship with the Sang family, comforted him when he heard it: "Don't ask for so much, it's good to be able to marry a daughter-in-law this year, besides, your daughter-in-law has a lot to marry." ”
When he was talking, Liu San and Tan Sang were close, and he saw the oil stains on Tan Sang's mouth: "I said, your food is good, you eat meat in the morning?" ”
Tan Sang smiled: "I want to open it, I used to be reluctant to eat and wear, so I thought about saving money for my children to marry a daughter-in-law, how many sins I suffered, but none of my four sons said that I was good, so why am I treating me so badly, just eat whatever I want, in the future, if they all marry their daughters-in-law and divide the family, if they have more, if they don't, they will share less." ”
When he said this, it resonated a lot.
Many older people began to talk about their children and grandchildren who were not filial and did not understand themselves.
Someone asked Tan Sang, "What kind of meat have you eaten?" ”
"Pork." Tan Sang replied with a smile: "I cut two catties of pork, eat it in two days, and get some in a few days, I took a fancy to a big fat pig a few days ago, and I was going to buy half a fan of meat during the New Year." ”
"Then your family's life is fat enough."
"Yes, who is willing to eat a pound of meat a day, just buy a few pounds of meat for the New Year, isn't it a bad life to buy so much meat."
"Tan Sang was frugal for decades in front of him, and there were four strong laborers in his family, so he must have saved a lot of money over the years."
"You, you should have thought about it a long time ago."
The people around him were talking about everything.
Tan Sang suddenly became the center of public opinion.
This made him feel very satisfied and proud.
Tan Sang was in the limelight in the morning, and he didn't rest in the house at noon, so he came out again after eating a mouthful of dry food.
He got together with a group of people, and began to brag about the fried pork slices he had eaten at noon, and the meat was fat, and as soon as he put it in the pot, the oil was rising, and just as he was about to go on, suddenly a man ran over.
"Tan Sang, don't blow it, your second daughter-in-law has said, what kind of meat, your family doesn't eat meat at all, how can you give up your iron without pulling out a hair? The oil on your mouth was wiped with pork. ”
A sentence is like dropping a bomb in the water, which suddenly causes a huge wave.
"What, no meat to eat?"
"Tan Sang, you're wrong, who didn't say anything about you, why are you a pot-bellied man, forget it if you don't have meat, what do you do to wipe your mouth with pigskin?"
"Talk about mulberry, what does the pork skin taste like?"
"Haha, I didn't expect it...... I'll try it another day. ”
Tan San's face was dark, it was called a cloud, and it seemed that the next moment it was going to be lightning and thunder.
"I'll go home first."
He turned his head with a calm face and left.
Walking out of the distance, Tan Sang could still hear how the group of people behind him laughed at him.
How beautiful he was in the morning, how embarrassed he was now.
Jiang Ying and Tan Qi entered the house, and Tan Qi immediately began to burn charcoal pots.
Jiang Ying took out a few books and put them on the cabinet at the head of the bed, and seeing a layer of dust falling in the room, she quickly found a rag to wipe the table and cabinet, and then found a broom and began to sweep the floor.
Before he finished sweeping the floor, Jiang Ying heard Tan Sang shouting outside the house: "Second brother, second daughter-in-law, you two come out." ”
Tan Qi said yes and walked out.
As soon as he went out, Tan Sang raised his foot and kicked him: "Bastard, what are you and your daughter-in-law talking nonsense outside?" ”
"What's wrong?" Tan Qi dodged over and looked at Tan Sang with a surprised expression: "Dad, what's wrong with you?" Who made you angry? ”
Jiang Ying threw down the broom and went out.
"Dad, we can do our duty today, I'm afraid of making you angry, I didn't eat lunch at home, what do you want?"
Whoop, whoop......
Tan Sangqi's breathing was a little heavier.
His face turned the color of pig liver.
"Second daughter-in-law, what are you talking nonsense outside, who told you to tell someone about our family wiping their mouths with pigskin?"
That's what happened.
Jiang Ying's expression remained unchanged, but a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Can't you say this?" I don't know, I thought it was a very beautiful thing to wipe my mouth with pigskin, Dad, forgive me for my lack of knowledge, I haven't seen this kind of thing before, and I came to our house to know that pigskin can wipe my mouth, I thought it was ...... Just now, those people outside said that our family must have eaten meat, and said that you took the meat from my house, so I can't let people misunderstand, I can't argue a few words for you. ”
"Then you can't dig out all the truth?" Tan Sangqi's eyes darkened, and he hurriedly held on to the trunk of the tree next to him.
Jiang Ying blinked his eyes: "My father has taught me to be honest and trustworthy since I was a child, I, what do I usually say, Dad, do you mean that you can lie and deceive people?" ”
What do you want him to say?
Tan Sang regrets it now.
Why can't you think of marrying such a thing for your family for a while?
Tan Sang's eyes were full of sympathy when he looked at Tan Qi.
"Don't talk nonsense in the future."
Jiang Ying, like Jiang Jun, is a fool, what can he do about Sang?
He can't beat his daughter-in-law for this matter, right?
He could only wave his hand and go into the house alone to sulk.
Tan Qi lowered his head and smiled, and it was very uncomfortable.
Jiang Ying glared at him: "Why don't you hurry up and go into the house to clean up." ”
"Just come, just come." Tan Qi followed Jiang Ying into the house.
Tan Sang covered his face: "I'm afraid this son will be terrible." ”
It didn't take long for Wang to come back in a hurry.
When she entered the main room, she saw Tan Sang, who was still sulking.
The Wang family was also angry, and picked up the bowl and drank a large bowl of water to reduce the anger in his heart: "Jiang's mourning star...... I can't wait to get rid of her. ”
Tan Sang waved his hand weakly: "The second child definitely disagrees, the Jiang family is good, and the second child has been fascinated by her." ”
These words undoubtedly stabbed Wang's heart again: "Then forget it?" ”
Tan Sang sighed: "You sit first." ”
Wang sat down.
Tan Sang said softly: "I think about it, it's better to split up early." ”
Wang was taken aback: "Why is this so." ”
Tan Sang's voice was a little lower: "What the Jiang family asked Jiang Jun to teach is a solid-eyed, not only is his heart and eyes solid, but his mouth is big, and he talks about everything at home, our family is like this...... This kind of daughter-in-law cannot be kept. ”
Wang thought of the origin of the Tan family and the things of her ancestors, and she also lowered her voice.
Tan Sang continued: "Instead of letting the Jiang clan cause trouble and affect everyone in the future, it is better to divide the second child out as soon as possible...... I thought about it, and the family was separated, or the third and fourth children would be better to marry a daughter-in-law. ”
