Chapter 231: Meritorious Service Must Be Rewarded!
The house was empty, with only a severed fishing net on the ground!
"Grass! The dumb guy actually ran away! ”
"Who patrolled last night, and did you see where the dumb man ran?"
"The binding is so strong, he can still run away, is he carrying a knife?"
"I knew I would have left someone to watch him!"
Everyone was gossiping, all of them were annoyed, and after searching inside and outside the house, there was indeed no shadow of a dumb person before they stopped.
The old man led everyone out of the house without a trace, sat down under the eaves, and comforted, "Forget it, this dumb man dares to come to the house and set fires, maybe he really has some ability." Last night, if he left someone, he would have fled. If you hurt someone again, it's even worse! ”
Tai Sanye also nodded, and responded, "That's the truth, if you run, you will run, and we will have the opportunity to catch him back in the future, it would be best if no one was injured and there was no loss at home." ”
Everyone listened warmly, the elders did not complain about them, but regarded their safety as so important, who could not be happy.
"Third uncle, sixth uncle, don't worry! As long as the dumb man dares to appear again, we will definitely arrest him back! ”
"That's it, this wolf-hearted thing, the next time I see it, I'll break my leg directly, see how he runs!"
"It's just a pity that I didn't ask who instructed him to run around the back to make trouble."
Old Man Tai lowered his head and clicked on the empty cigarette pouch and pot, and a strange touch flashed in his eyes.
I just didn't want you to know who was behind the scenes, so I killed the mute at night and buried him in the mountains.
Tai Sanye is old and refined, and he also found something in the wing, so he quickly diverted the conversation at this time.
"The dumb man has run away, and maybe he will come back for revenge. Everyone has been more clever lately, and their patrols have been more diligent, so as not to be exploited by dumb people. When they come back and the people are there, they will not be afraid of anything. ”
"The third brother is right, it is estimated that they will come back in more than ten days." Old man Tai helped.
At this time, Yang Lihua led Zhuzhu from the backyard.
Zhu Dada ran to her grandfather's arms and sat down, blinking her big eyes, and her face was full of joy.
The old man put down the cigarette pouch and said with a smile, "Zhuzhu is not hungry, just wait for your second uncle to come back from shopping for a while." You've got your snacks and maybe chicken legs! ”
"Thank you, grandpa!" Zhuzhu happily hugged her grandfather's neck, and didn't forget to fight for the welfare of her little friend, "Last night, the sesame ball also caught the bad guy together, and grandpa also gave it a chicken leg, okay?" ”
"Okay, it must be given!" The old man laughed, and promised very happily, and the sesame ball wagged his tail, naughty in front and behind.
The villagers remembered last night's thrilling situation and couldn't help but praise it.
"The sesame ball was so powerful last night, biting the dumb leg and not spitting!"
"Yes, the dumb man has jumped over the wall with him, what a bold and fierce good dog that is hard to find in the world!"
"To take care of the home, you still need sesame balls! When I go to the cattle and horse market one day, if I can find a mastiff again, my family will have to raise one. ”
The sesame ball was praised and squatted at the feet of Zhuzhu, raising his head and pride.
Fortunately, the big black horse is not at home, otherwise he would have rolled his lips and sprayed it......
After a while, Tai Jizong, who got up early and went into the city to buy, came back.
The Tai family has never been stingy, last night the villagers took the risk to help catch the mute, and today's banquet must be more sumptuous.
Tai Jizong bought two large carp, half a pig queen, two roast chickens, two jars of spirits, plus some rice noodles and other sundries.
Of course, he also picked up two boxes of dim sum for his niece at the Min's dim sum shop.
Steward Min happened to buy candied fruit with the merchants from the south, and brought back a small jar of dried apricots to Zhuzhu with him.
Zhuzhu was so happy that she immediately went back to the house with the dried apricots, snacks, and the chicken legs that her grandfather had promised.
Followed by sesame balls jumping excitedly......
Liu Dongniang came out with an apron, almost at a glance at these ingredients, she knew how to arrange the dishes.
"Dad, the big dish at noon is to make braised pork stewed tofu and braised fish in sauce, and add four seasonal dishes, okay to make six?"
"Okay, that's up to you. Everyone loves your craft, and it's delicious to cook. Old man Tai never hesitated to praise his daughter-in-law, which made Liu Dongniang blush and proud, and happily went to get busy.
The old and young continued to gossip, from the crops in the fields to the new things in the city, of course, the most talked, still guessed who instructed the dumb to make trouble, and the key object of suspicion was the Wang family.
Although it is said that Wang Xiancheng's father and son died, only Mrs. Wang and a group of concubines were left in the family, as well as a married daughter and son-in-law. But no one can say for sure, whether Mrs. Wang was convulsed, and she couldn't find anyone to be angry, and she was working hard at the Tai family again.
It was the time when it was lively, but there was a commotion outside the courtyard gate.
It turned out that the women were working in the backyard, the men were gossiping in the front yard, and the naughty boys were running to join in the fun, but no one cared about it, because of a trivial matter.
The two naughty boys tore together and became a rolling gourd in a group, and their clean clothes became mud balls in the blink of an eye!
When they heard the commotion, they all came out to look.
The two naughty boys were pulled apart, and it turned out to be Tai Jicai's eldest son and Tie Dan'er!
Tai Sanye raised his hand and gave his grandson a slap, and the beaten kid shrank his neck, although Tie Dan'er was not beaten, he also took a few steps back in fright.
Tai Sanye angrily teased people, "Get out!" Give me all home, and if I see you fighting, I'll all go to work in the fields!" Eat and dress every day, but you have time to make trouble. Wild boars can't eat fine chaff, unproductive things! ”
The two boys immediately ran away, for fear of being beaten again one step later.
Tai Sanye shook his head angrily, "These boys are really a headache, originally said to study with Yongning, but it turned out that the girls of the family learned well, these boys just don't get the hang of it, and would rather catch fish and climb trees than write a few more words."
"Now Yongning goes to study in the city, and his step-grandfather and daughter-in-law teach them well, but they still don't succeed. In the future, I am afraid that I will have to stay in the village to farm, and when I go out to do business, I will be easily deceived by others. ”
Everyone next to them listened with a sneer, because they also had children at home, and no one disciplined them much on weekdays.
In their cognition, the child should not get sick, be well fed and clothed, and raise him until he was thirteen or fourteen years old, he would be a strong laborer, and he could work for the family.
As for those who read well, it seems to be a distant thing.
Old Man Tai saw everyone's thoughts, but he didn't feel angry.
Maybe Yongning will have a future in the future, so that everyone can take reading more seriously.
As for today......
He stored a pot of tobacco for his elder brother, and persuaded with a smile, "It is said that naughty boys are good men, don't look at them like this now, they will be sensible in the future, and they must be good." Besides, if the kids don't like to read, they don't necessarily have no interest.
"After a while, I will find a few masters to come over, and whoever is willing to learn and can endure hardships will follow to learn martial arts.
"Not to mention being healthy, I don't have to worry about them being bullied when I go out in the future. Even if someone comes to the village to make trouble, we have helpers. ”
