Chapter 12 This world is so dangerous!
The little steward wanted to take some measures and spend less money, but he failed.

He was so anxious that he quickly grabbed Tai Jiye, changed his tone and begged: "Brother, to tell you the truth, the nanny in our mansion accidentally knocked over the lady's stove. She was afraid of being punished by the lady, so she asked me to come out and find a similar replacement. .

"It's rare to see that you are [-]% or [-]% similar. It's convenient for you to sell me the stove."

"It's okay for you to talk like this."

Tai Jiye didn't ask for Qiao either. He exchanged a few words with the steward and asked about his name and residence, which was a way of leaving a personal connection for himself.

He also had a clever mouth, and the little steward who was coaxed quickly smiled and made an appointment for tea later.

As for the charcoal stove, the steward gave me a high price of 17 taels of silver, and I also paid [-] coins for the few kilograms of charcoal that I took away.

This is much more cost-effective than sending it to a pawn shop!
Tai Jiye was also generous. He added a head to the sledge and asked the steward to pull it away.

When no one was seen, Tai Yongan jumped three feet high with joy.

He was already as thin as a hemp stick, so he really wanted to poke a hole in the sky by jumping up like this.

"Haha, third uncle is so kind, he got rich, our family got rich!"

Tai Jiye was also happy, but he still gave his nephew a tug, "Keep your voice down, don't show off your wealth, go away, talk somewhere else!"

The two of them turned around and arrived at the entrance of an alley. The first house in the alley opened its door, and faint shouts could be heard.

"Buy it and leave! It's open, it's open now!"

Tai Jiye's eyes lit up and he moved his feet.

Tai Yongan took something out of his arms and patted it a few times in his palm.

Tai Jiye froze at that time and asked in surprise: "Why did you bring this thing out?"

In Tai Yong'an's hand was holding a child's hand-width, one-and-a-half-foot-long wooden board, glossy black.

He bared his teeth and smiled, with a hint of pride in his honesty, "My grandpa secretly gave it to me before I went out. He said that if you make a mistake while taking money, let me use this to break your legs!"

Tai Jiye gritted his back teeth and his calves felt cold.

He has been "naughtier" than his two older brothers since he was a child. It can be said that the brightness of this wooden board is purely caused by his skin rubbing against it!
"Ahem, um... I just miss my acquaintance and want to go in and say hello."

Tai Yong'an didn't listen to him, "Let's go, third uncle. Grandpa told me to buy a hundred kilograms of sorghum rice and thirty eggs for my sister, and then go home early."

"let's go!"

Tai Jiye felt that his prestige was destroyed by his father's remote control nephew, and he was very frustrated, but he felt happy again after touching the money in his arms.

After nightfall, the cold wind became even more intense, blowing so hard that the jackdaws in the trees had their mouths frozen shut and could not utter a sound.

There was an earthen stove in the Tai family hall, burning wooden tripods, making crackling sounds from time to time.

Surrounded by Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang, they continued to change jackets and trousers by the faint light.

Grandpa Tai hugged his little granddaughter and taught her how to speak seriously.

Zhuzhu ate and slept for a few days, and she felt much better than when she first woke up.

At this moment, she was like a little starling who was imitating the tongue, chanting after her grandfather.

"grandfather!"

"Daddy!"

"mother!"

"elder brother!"

Every time she recited a word, she would look towards the corresponding family member, her big eyes full of hope.

Until the family members responded happily, she was so happy that she ran high on her grandpa's lap, and the little fat on her face trembled and trembled.

whee!

Zhuzhu is a baby that someone loves!
So happy!

The cute fat girl smiled openly, and the whole family couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths.

"Our Zhuzhu seems to be a lucky one!" Liu Dongniang was full of envy.

She only gave birth to a son, Yong Yue, and she really looked forward to having another daughter.

Yang Lihua comforted her, "It's hard to go out in winter. Wait until spring and ask my second brother to take you to the city to see a doctor and take care of your health.

"Maybe by this time next year, Zhuzhu will have a younger sister."

Liu Dongniang blushed, but couldn't help but look forward to it.

Tai Jizu was thinking about his younger brother and son, so he stood up and said, "Dad, I'm going to greet the third child and the others. It's very dark outside and the road is not easy to walk."

Before the old man could respond, there was a faint sound of pushing and pulling the wooden door outside.

Everyone was so surprised that they dropped 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 get the things, and when they all returned to the house, they pushed Tai Jiye and Yong'an to the earthen stove to keep warm.

The two of them smiled and waved, and Tai Jiye said: "We were afraid that it would be troublesome if we met people on the road and asked, so we hired a carriage for ten cents. Sitting inside, we can't see anyone and it's still warm."

After all, he was afraid that his father would complain about spending money indiscriminately, so he hurriedly offered Bao'er. "Father, we bought a hundred catties of sorghum rice and thirty eggs.

"In addition, there is this..."

He took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, opened it to reveal the yellow-brown shredded dry tobacco inside, and brought it to his father with a flattering smile.

The old man frowned, wanting to scold him but was afraid of hurting his son's filial piety.

Fortunately, Tai Yong'an was very excited when he said that the stove was sold by them for 17 taels of silver.

The whole family couldn't help but cheer in surprise. The old man glared at his younger son and stopped pursuing it.

Tai Jiye chuckled, talked about the excitement in the city, and handed over the remaining silver.

The old man gave them all to Yang Lihua without even looking at them.

Yang Lihua got used to it and put it away properly.

Liu Dongniang smiled and said: "Dad, let's get some sorghum rice to eat at noon tomorrow.

"There are still a lot of dried vegetables at home, blanch them in water, and then make an egg sauce, okay?"

Several boys looked at the old man in unison, their eyes widened like cows, which made the old man feel distressed and funny, "Okay, the family has made a small fortune, so it's time to celebrate."

"Oh, let's eat dry food tomorrow!"

"Egg sauce, and egg sauce!"

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue happily ran around the house. When they passed by Zhuzhu, they carried Zhuzhu one by one and ran wildly together.

Poor Zhuzhu's feet suddenly left the ground. She was so frightened that she grabbed her brothers' hair tightly. Her fat little body leaned forward and back, and the little chirping on her head almost shook away.

Mom!
The world is so dangerous!
There is no natural disaster, but there is an unreliable brother!

Fortunately, the old man had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he snatched his granddaughter away and gave the grandsons two feet.

"You brat, your sister has a good head and can't bear all this trouble from you. Get out of here! If you scare your sister again, I'll punish you with no food tomorrow!"

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue immediately shrank their necks and pretended to be quail.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, chatted a few more words, and then took their children back to rest.

Zhuzhu was lying on the hot bed, her father snoring slightly on the side, and her mother hugged her and finally covered her with a soft quilt.

Her mother's hand gently patted her back again and again, making her feel extremely at ease.

She leaned into her mother's arms again and fell asleep happily.

In the outhouse, the old man gathered around the stove and told his younger son not to get into the bad habit of gambling.

Tai Jiye felt guilty after being punished. When he saw his father banging the empty pipe pot, he obediently opened the oil paper bag and wanted to help his father refill his tobacco.

As a result, as soon as his hand touched the cigarette rod, the old man's expression changed!
