Chapter Seventy-Five: Everyone Gathers Firewood and the Flame Is High!
Old Man Tai simply threw this matter aside, after all, the family was too busy.
It is said that everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, since the new yard started, not only the Tai family people came to report every day, but they gave up their strength to run before and after. is Zhangjia Village in front and Liujia Village in the back, and there are also acquaintances who come to help, such as Zhang Tieniu.
Putting aside the fact that Tai Jicang joined Zhang Dazhuan's family at the beginning, Zhang Tieniu's family and the Tai family have always gotten along well.
This time, Zhang Tieniu also listened to his father's instructions, not only did people come over, but also brought more than a dozen wicker baskets, all of which were hand-made by Father Zhang.
Old Man Tai was naturally happy, and invited Father Zhang to wait for Shangliang to come over for a drink that day.
Outsiders are still like this, and the old and young of Taijia Village are not lagging behind.
The old people were not in good health and couldn't exert their strength, so they took over the work of helping to take care of the materials at night.
When they were old and didn't sleep much, they divided into two teams and wandered around the village in turn, in case someone was greedy and ran to steal a piece of wood and move bricks.
Half of the children are not idle, one person can't carry wood or bricks, then two people carry it, or even three or four people work together, often tired face red neck thick.
Old man Tai saw it in his eyes, so he asked his eldest daughter-in-law to discuss.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, let's cook more meals at noon in the future. They are all people who help our family work, and it is not good for people to go back with an empty stomach. ”
Yang Lihua also knows this truth, but the food sent by the Zheng family looks like a lot, and it is consumed faster when eaten.
And the white rice and fine noodles in it can't be directly brought to the dinner table, after all, it's too expensive and too cost-effective.
She thought about it for a while and said, "Dad, why don't you let the third child go to the city again and exchange the white rice and fine noodles from the Zheng family for sorghum rice?" ”
This is a good idea, the old man couldn't help nodding, but he still instructed, "We should also keep some white rice and fine noodles, we can eat anything, and we can't lose beads." ”
"Okay, don't worry, Dad, I'll remember it." Yang Lihua was also reluctant to let her daughter be wronged, so she happily responded.
Soon, Tai Jiye was approached.
When he heard that he was going into the city, he was also very happy.
After all, the family is all hard work, and he thinks he is a noble person who uses his brain, and he doesn't bother to do it, and he can't do it.
It's best to go into the city, change the food, and you can walk around.
Coincidentally, Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue carried their sister and came in from outside with a smile, making a fuss and making a fuss about following.
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue were thinking about getting to know the third uncle for a long time, while Zhuzhu was gluttonous and wanted to eat sweet and sour sugar gourds.
Old man Tai was afraid that he would lose his granddaughter again, so he disagreed ten thousand times in his heart.
But he can't stand his granddaughter's coquettishness, the soft and glutinous little girl has a deflated little mouth, big eyes with tears, and no one can bear it.
Don't talk about going to the city, you have to pick the stars and the moon back!
So, Tai Yongan was also called back, took office, and became his sister's full-time guard.
Tai Yongning sat on the kang, smiling and watching his younger brothers and sisters laugh, ready to go out.
Occasionally, a touch of loneliness flashed in his eyes, lining his white face, which made him even more weak.
The old man looked at it and couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart, so he persuaded, "Yongning, there is nothing to do at home, why don't you go into the city together."
"Your eldest brother is careless, and your two younger brothers are naughty, and I am really not worried about handing over Zhuzhu to them. If you go along, you can take care of Zhuzhu a little more.
"Also, haven't you had a chance to spend the pocket money that was given to you before? This time, I went shopping, and if I liked anything, I would buy it back! If the money is not enough, grandpa will give it to you! ”
Tai Yongning's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he subconsciously touched his injured leg, still a little hesitant.
But Tai Yongan, Tai Yonglu, and Tai Yongyue were already cheering, and they pulled him to the ground and put on his shoes.
"Let's go, let's go, second, let's go shopping!"
"Second brother, let's go, let's go! Don't squat at home, the city is lively, I'll take you to see the fire-breathing juggling! ”
"Second brother, I know which one's paper is good, and it's not expensive!"
The three brothers tossed Tai Yongning off the kang as they spoke, and when Tai Yongning came back to his senses, he had already taken his hat off and sat on the cart, holding the smiling milk dumpling sister in his arms.
Tai Jiye sat in the car and talked to the coachman, and stuffed a two-sided nest with his hand, and the coachman almost threw off the whip with joy.
Tai Yongan carried a deep basket and laid hay in the basket, firstly to prepare for his sister to rest when she was tired, and secondly, to hide a sharp firewood knife, in case something happened to defend himself.
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue sat with their second brother and sister on the left and right, and they could chirp a few words about everything they saw along the way.
The smile on Tai Yongning's face never stopped, and he occasionally wrapped his jacket and hugged his sister more and more into his arms.
Zhuzhu smelled the warm smell in her brother's arms, and she couldn't help yawning like a mother.
In the midst of the swaying, the fat girl fell asleep again as expected.
Hong Yanyan's little mouth was half-open, I didn't know what I dreamed of, and I had to chirp a few times occasionally.
The round face was like a ripe peach, which provoked Tai Yongning to bow his head and kiss it gently.
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue looked greedy, and they also wanted to kiss them, but they were afraid of waking up their sister......
When the carriage reached the gate of the city, the people got out of the carriage, thanked the coachman, and went into the city.
The weather is getting better, and although it's not much warmer, it's much more comfortable than in winter.
A while ago, there were a lot of people going in and out, and Tai Jiye was familiar with the soldiers at the gate of the city.
Tai Jiye wanted to go to a familiar grain store to discuss business, and he didn't worry about letting his nephews go shopping by themselves.
At this time, a green cloth pony car arrived next to it and actually stopped.
Steward Zheng exclaimed with a look of surprise, "Oh, Third Master Tai, why did you meet here?" ”
Tai Jiye and others looked at the past and were also happy.
Without waiting to speak, the carriage door was pushed open, and the white and polite Young Master Zheng also jumped out.
Zhuzhu happily danced in the arms of her eldest brother, shouting in a milky voice, "Little brother, little brother!" ”
Young Master Zheng hugged her, his smiling eyes shining.
"Zhuzhu, I gave you a good thing, do you like it? Also, did you get a steamed bun? ”
Zhuzhu nodded her little head hard, hugged Young Master Zheng and didn't let go, "Little brother is good, little brother didn't lie to Zhuzhu!" Zhuzhu ate a lot of bags! ”
Before, when the two of them were locked up in the cellar, they were cold and hungry, in order to coax the milk dumplings, Young Master Zheng kept promising that as long as they went out, they would give Zhuzhu Zhang Luo something delicious and take her to play.
I originally thought that children didn't remember, but where did I think that Zhuzhu was smart, and I actually remembered it clearly!
Young Master Zheng blushed with a smile, secretly glad that he hadn't lost his faith in front of the little girl.
He spoke to Tai Yongan and Tai Yongning again, looking shy, gentle and polite.
Tai Yongan saw that Young Master Zheng liked his sister very much, and he took care of his sister when he was in trouble, so the brothers were very enthusiastic and thanked him decently.
Steward Zheng saw it in his eyes, but his heart was very excited.
