Chapter 12: This World Is Dangerous!
The little steward wanted to take care of it and spend less money, but he didn't expect to fail.
He was so anxious that he hurriedly grabbed Tai Jiye, changed his tone and begged: "Brother, I won't tell you, the grandmother in our house accidentally knocked down Miss's stove, and I was afraid that Miss would punish her, so let me come out and find a similar replacement."
"It's rare to see that you are seven or eight points similar, so you can make it convenient and sell me the stove."
"You're pretty much talking."
Tai Jiye didn't take Qiao, exchanged a few words with the little steward, asked the name and mansion, and left a personal connection for himself.
He also had a clever mouth, and quickly coaxed the little steward to smile and make an appointment to drink tea later.
It was a charcoal stove, and the little steward gave a high price of seventeen taels of silver, and he also gave five hundred wen for the few catties of charcoal.
It's a lot better than having it delivered to a pawnshop!
Tai Jiye was also generous, and made an addition to the climbing plow, and let the little steward pull it away.
When he couldn't see a shadow, Tai Yongan jumped three feet high with joy.
He was already as thin as a hemp pole, and he really wanted to poke a hole in the sky when he ran around like this.
"Haha, the third uncle is so good, he has made a fortune, our family has become rich!"
Tai Jiye was also happy, but he still pulled his nephew, "Be quiet, don't show your wealth, go, talk in another place!" ”
The two of them turned around and arrived at the mouth of a small alley, and the first door at the entrance of the alley was open, and there was a faint shout.
"Buy and go! It's open, it's open! ”
Tai Jiye's eyes lit up, and he had to move under his feet.
Tai Yongan took out something from his arms and slapped it a few times in his palm.
Tai Jiye froze at that time, and asked in surprise: "Why did you bring this thing out?" ”
Tai Yongan held a small palm-wide, one-and-a-half-foot-long wooden board in his hand, black and shiny.
He grinned his teeth, honest and a little proud, "Before going out, my grandfather secretly gave it to me, saying that if you take the silver and make a mistake, let me take this to discount your legs!" ”
Tai Jiye gritted his back molars, and his calves were cold.
He has been "naughty" than his two older brothers since he was a child, and it can be said that the light of this wooden board is purely rubbed out by him with flesh!
"Ahem, that ...... I'm just thinking about an acquaintance and want to go in and say hello. ”
Tai Yongan didn't listen to him, "Let's go, third uncle, grandpa explained that he would buy 100 catties of sorghum rice, and then buy 30 eggs for his sister, and then go home early." ”
"Let's go, let's go!"
Tai Jiye felt that his father's remote control nephew had extinguished his prestige, and he was very frustrated, but he was happy again when he touched the silver in his arms.
After nightfall, the cold wind was even tighter, blowing so that the jackdaws on the trees were frozen in their mouths, and they couldn't make a sound.
There was an earthen stove in the Taijiatang house, burning wooden stumbling blocks, and crackling from time to time.
Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang gathered around and continued to change their pants with the faint light.
Old man Tai hugged his little granddaughter and taught him to speak seriously.
Zhuzhu ate and slept for a few days, and it was much better than when she first woke up.
At this time, she was like a little starling who was learning to speak, and she followed her grandfather.
"Grandpa!"
"Daddy!"
"Mother!"
"Brother!"
With each thought, she looked at the corresponding family members, her big eyes full of hope.
Until the family responded happily, she was so happy that she was on her grandfather's lap, and the little milk fat on her face trembled.
Hee-hee!
Zhuzhu is a baby that hurts!
What a blessing!
The cute fat girl smiled, and the whole family couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
"Our Zhuzhu looks like a blessed one!" Liu Dongniang was full of envy.
She only gave birth to one son, Yongyue, and she really looked forward to having another daughter.
Yang Lihua opened her mouth to comfort, "It's not good to go out in winter, wait for the beginning of spring and let the second child take you to the city to see a doctor and regulate your body."
"Maybe by this time next year, Zhuzhu will have a younger sister."
Liu Dongniang blushed when she heard this, but she couldn't help but look forward to it.
Tai Jizu was worried about his younger brother and son, got up and said, "Dad, I'll go to greet the third child, it's very dark outside, and the road is not easy to walk." ”
Without waiting for the old man to respond, there was a faint sound of pushing and pulling the wooden door outside.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised, and they threw down their work and rushed to the door.
Sure enough, it was Tai Jiye and Yongan who came back.
Moreover, the two of them came back in a carriage!
Everyone hurriedly helped with the things, and when they all returned to the house, they pushed Tai Jiye and Yongan to the earthen stove to warm up.
The two smiled and waved their hands, and Tai Jiye said: "We were afraid that it would be troublesome for someone to ask on the road, so we hired a carriage for ten cents. Sitting inside, no one can see, and it's still warm. ”
After all, he was afraid that his father would complain about spending money, so he hurriedly offered Bao'er. "Dad, we bought 100 catties of sorghum rice and 30 eggs.
"And there's this ......"
He took out an oil-paper bag from his bosom, opened it to reveal the yellow-brown dry tobacco inside, and sent it to his father with a flattering smile.
The old man frowned, wanting to scold a few words for fear of hurting his son's filial piety.
Fortunately, Tai Yongan's eyebrows danced, and he was talking about the stove that they sold for seventeen taels of silver.
The whole family couldn't help but exclaim, and the old man glared at his younger son, and he didn't pursue it.
Tai Jiye smiled, talked about the excitement in the city, and handed over the rest of the money.
The old man didn't look at it, so he gave it to Yang Lihua.
Yang Lihua got used to it and put it away properly.
Liu Dongniang said with a smile: "Dad, tomorrow at noon, let's get some sorghum rice and dry rice."
"There are still a lot of dried vegetables at home, blanch the water, and make another egg sauce, okay?"
Several boys looked at the old man in unison, their eyes widened like cows, which made the old man distressed and funny, "Okay, the family has made a small fortune, and the right to celebrate." ”
"Oh, it's dry tomorrow!"
"Egg sauce, and egg sauce!"
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue ran around the house happily, passing by Zhuzhu's side, and ran crazy together with Zhuzhu one by one.
Poor Zhuzhu suddenly stepped off the ground, grabbed her brothers' hair in fright, her chubby little body leaned forward and backwards, and the little chirp on her head was about to shake away.
Damn!
It's so dangerous in the world!
There is no catastrophe, but there is an unreliable brother!
Fortunately, the old man was quick-eyed, snatched his granddaughter, and gave his grandchildren two feet.
"Stinky boy, your sister's head is just right, I can't stand your toss like this, get out! If you scare your sister again, you will be punished for not having food tomorrow! ”
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue immediately shrank their necks and pretended to be quails honestly.
Everyone couldn't help laughing, and after a few more gossips, they took the child back to rest.
Zhuzhu was lying on the hot kang, her father was snoring slightly, her mother hugged her, and finally covered the soft quilt together.
The mother's hand gently patted her back again and again, making her feel very reassured.
She leaned into her mother's arms again and fell asleep happily.
In the outhouse, the old man was around the stove, still telling his younger son not to get into the bad habit of gambling money.
Tai Jiye's heart was weak, and when he saw that his father was smacking the empty cigarette pouch pot, he obediently tore open the oil paper bag to help his father renew the tobacco.
As a result, as soon as his hand touched the cigarette stick, the old man's face changed!
