Old Man Tai untied the small cloth bag from his waist, took out a pinch of tobacco and refilled it for the old brother, and then said, "Third brother, don't worry, I have inquired around the city, although it is all gossip, but it is enough to see that the Zheng family has a good character and behavior." ”

Tai Sanye relieved himself a little, lit the cigarette, took a big puff, and asked, "It's not a bad person, but this family is too good for our family, is there something you want to ask us for?" ”

"I guess I just want to move around a lot in the future." Old Man Tai briefly said what he heard in the city.

"The wife of the Zheng family, whose maiden name is Chen, is our local daughter, but her parents died early and she has been dependent on her younger brother. Later, he married a poor Xiucai and became a daughter-in-law, and the poor Xiucai took the examination again, and went to the south to donate an official.

"This Mrs. Zheng is not in good health, and it is not easy to live here with her son all the time. Fortunately, her younger brother has a very good business, and he has not started a family, so he helps their mother and son, and lives a very prosperous life.

"Presumably, this time Young Master Zheng was taken away, Mrs. Zheng was frightened, and finally found the child, so she was grateful to our family as a life-saving benefactor."

Tai Sanye nodded again and again, and said with emotion, "No wonder, this Young Master Zheng is really a real seedling!" Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise Mrs. Zheng would not have survived. ”

"It's not, our family Ding Xingwang, and Young Master Zheng and Zhuzhu are suffering together, I'm afraid that Mrs. Zheng wants the child to come and go more often." Old Man Tai remembered the meaning of Steward Zheng's words, and also reminded his brother in advance.

Sure enough, Tai Sanye was very happy and responded, "People are willing to come, of course we are happy." ”

But then he became worried again, "It's just a group of us who don't know how to be polite, will we snub the young master of the official family?" ”

"Probably not," the old man saw more clearly, and said with a smile, "Master Zheng is an official outside, and he took his own mother away, but he only let his wife and children in his hometown, and I am afraid that there is something to say."

"Young Master Zheng is a young master of an official family, but the uncle he relies on is a businessman, and it is estimated that walking around between the rich and noble people on weekdays is also embarrassing and uncomfortable.

"If he comes to us, just treat him like a normal child, and there will be nothing wrong with him."

Tai Sanye also figured it out, and sighed, "These nobles don't necessarily have a good life to live on." ”

The two brothers sighed a few words, and then went out to watch the villagers work.

At lunchtime, Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang brought out a large pot of sorghum rice porridge and stewed pork with radish and cabbage.

Although there is very little pork, and a pound of meat cannot be picked out in a large pot, the soup of the stew is boiled with big bones.

Seeing the oil flowers floating in the bowl, the villagers were very satisfied.

The old man was afraid that they would eat well, so he kept beating.

"In the past few days, we can't officially start construction, and everyone will only have a lunch at noon when they come to work! After eating, go home for a while, don't wait for the evening to take advantage of it!

"Your sixth uncle's family has mountains of gold and silver, and you can't help but be so bad! If you want to eat well, just wait for a few days to officially work and come back, and then keep the wine and food! ”

The villagers smiled and did not get angry.

First, the meal is so good that you can't eat it at home.

Second, this meal is full! Even if you only eat one meal at noon, you can not go hungry for a day!

Old Man Tai knew that the old brother was for the good of their family, so he smiled and didn't say much.

When the clansmen gather together, there are many people and many thoughts, and one must be a good person and one pretend to be a bad person to ensure that there will be no chaos.

Otherwise, I don't know how many Tai Jicang will appear.

After eating and being busy for a while, Tai Sanye took everyone back.

Tai Jizu finally seized the opportunity and asked his father in a whisper.

"Dad, is someone calculating our family again?"

Old Man Tai frowned, nodded slightly, and responded, "It should be, but this person is hiding very deeply, and he still can't catch his tail." I can only take care of Zhuzhu and my family carefully in the future, especially when building a house, don't be spoiled by this person's opportunity. ”

Tai Jizu nodded, hating him very much, "One day if I catch this person, I will definitely kill him and bury him in the field to make fertilizer!" ”

The old man was also depressed in his heart, but he didn't expect to find out easily how many years this person had been calculating behind his back.

Besides, this time he also carelessly lost his granddaughter, if you really want to blame, he is the culprit!

Tai Jizu is not smart, but he is really filial, and he immediately saw his father's thoughts, and quickly changed his words.

"Dad, the second brother has also been out for a long time, I don't know if I have found anyone?"

As soon as the words fell, Tai Jizong rushed back by coincidence, followed by Tai Jiye.

I have to say that it was really hard to raise a son, but when my son grew up, he was also a good helper.

The old man took his children and grandchildren together, only half a day's work, the site was circled, the craftsmen were found, the bricks and stones were settled, and the construction started, and it was incredible.

Tai Jizu's brothers were happy, but the old man was a little bottomless in his heart.

After dinner, Yang Lihua took the children to keep accounts and sort out income and expenditure.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue are monkey tempers, but they have grown a lot with Tai Jiye in this period.

Nowadays, one of them likes to deal with people, and the other likes money, but they don't need to be urged, they take the initiative to study seriously.

Yang Lihua taught them to record account books, dial the plates, and sort out the surplus, and at the end she was very happy and said to her family, "These two boys learn quickly, don't be afraid that they won't have anything to eat in the future." Even if you go out to pick up a burden and go to the village to visit the households, it is enough to support the family. ”

The old man hugged his granddaughter and was removing the Luban lock, which Tai Jizong brought back to his little niece today, Zhuzhu's little fat hand was a little clumsy, and he pulled his grandfather to help from time to time.

Hearing this, the old man smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what they do when they grow up, as long as they can eat enough by their own strength." In a few years, it would be better to get them out and open their eyes more, maybe take a shit luck and bring back a few truckloads of gold and silver. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard it, and Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue also squeezed their eyebrows at each other and made trouble.

Tai Yongan still had the same old idea, and begged as usual, "Grandpa, when the family finishes building a house, find me a master." I want to learn martial arts, okay? ”

The old man remembered that day when he caught the kidnapper, and the eldest grandson made a brave move, so it was rare that he didn't refuse, and said vaguely, "Okay, let's see when the time comes." ”

Tai Yongan, a solid-eyed man, immediately went crazy with joy, jumped into the yard and went to wave his precious wooden stick.

The sesame ball was lying under the eaves of the porch, drowsy, digesting the bones in his stomach, and was suddenly awakened, and he was angry twice.

But the big black horse stood in the shed, eating the hay unhurriedly, spraying his nose a few times from time to time.

Tai Yongning sat at the low table by the window, flipping through the new books with love, completely unaware of what the family had said.

The family is poor, and the books are ridiculously expensive, and after a few years of studying, he only has two rotten enlightenment books.

Therefore, the box of new books sent by the Zheng family the day before yesterday was like sending a jar of food to a mouse to him, and he was as happy as a dream!

The old man looked at this, looked at that, and asked in a low voice when he walked around with his granddaughter in his arms.

"Zhuzhu, is there still black gas on the top of our family's heads?"
