Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!

Chapter 33 A secret that can only be told to grandpa!
"It was fine when I left last night."

"Yeah, although I'm a little drunk, I'm alive and kicking. How can I say I'm dead!"

"What kind of hatred, what kind of hatred, you actually killed someone!"

Everyone was chattering and discussing.

The three officials had actually asked their neighbors a long time ago. Those three people did not have any conflict with the Tai family yesterday, and they died in the backyard of the casino. No matter how you look at it, they have nothing to do with the Tai family.

The reason for taking this trip is just to beat the autumn wind.

Others didn't know that Tai Jiye still had this wink after spending so long in the city.

He hurried to his sister-in-law and asked for a dime of silver.

After the officer said a few more words, he stepped forward with a smile, exchanged greetings, and stuffed the money over without leaving any trace.

The official was satisfied and reciprocated the favor by saying, "We are about to return to the Yamen, so I will watch over you transporting the ice lanterns. This will prevent someone from blindly colliding with the carriage and breaking the ice lanterns. We adults are still waiting to enjoy the lanterns and compose poems!"

Of course the Tai family was happy, they packed up the car immediately, and went to the Yamen together with the officials.

Last night, the two ice lions lit up all night, and everyone couldn't help but take a second look, but it made the Yamen shine.

Today, when I saw Tai's family delivering ice lanterns, several stewards came and wanted to place an order.

Tai Jiye was overjoyed, but he didn't lose his head. He explained how many mansions were still queuing up ahead, and it might take a few days to delay.

Those who placed the order later were not qualified to go to the Min family to congratulate them, so naturally they did not dare to argue, so they paid the deposit and waited patiently...

In the broken yard, old man Tai found an excuse, hugged his granddaughter again, and patiently instructed and instructed.

"Zhuzhu, you can see the color on other people's heads, so you must not tell anyone. If you really want to, you can only tell grandpa. Do you understand?"

Zhuzhu was a little sleepy, yawned a little, nodded obediently, and then fell asleep listening to her grandfather's nagging.

The old man stayed with him for a while, and only went out when he saw his granddaughter was fast asleep.

Tai Jiye and others presented the ice sculptures, and when they came back after paying the money, they were all smiling.

For ordinary people, being able to enter the yamen is an incomparable honor, enough for them to go back and brag with their relatives and friends for several months.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue even raised their thin and thin chests, as if they had entered the Yamen, and they were no longer the naughty boys they used to be.

Old Master Tai looked amused, and went up to meet him, intending to ask a few words, but he saw a familiar figure following behind the team.

"Oh, when did the dumb brother come?"

Grandpa Tai was surprised and asked a casual question.

When Tai Sanye and others heard this, they also stepped forward.

The mute was a little embarrassed, tugging at the sleeves of his tattered coat, and answered a few words.

Everyone couldn't guess, so it was Tai Jiye who responded, "On our way back, we met the dumb uncle begging for food and was bullied by others. So we brought him here!"

Everyone didn't find it strange that the mute had no land in the village, and occasionally helped everyone do odd jobs to earn some food and drink.

If there is no hope in winter, he will go to the city to beg for a stutter.

The old man hurriedly called his daughters-in-law, and poured a big bowl of hot porridge left in the kitchen.

The mute sat honestly in a sheltered place, drinking porridge and watching everyone giggle.

Everyone talked about the new things outside while they were busy, and they were excited just thinking that the whole city would be lit with their carved lamps.

In the afternoon, Tai Jizu and others went to dig ice outside the city again, and the dumb man followed him and helped with a lot of work, but he refused to come to eat again and went back to the village.

Tai Sanye said, "The mute is really pitiful. He never invites trouble. Although his surname is not Tai, he is almost the same as his family. In the future, I will take him with me when I work, at least I will have enough food."

Mr. Tai replied, "The business of this ice sculpture is done, and the family will have some spare money. Next year, let's see if we can buy two acres of land and repair the house. Hiring him to do the work will also count as a favor. .”

"Oh, this is a good thing!" Tai Sanye was happy, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I almost sold the land because of Zhuzhu's medical treatment. Now not only do I not have to sell it, but I also have to build a house and buy land. This day is really getting better gone."

Mr. Tai nodded and couldn't help turning his head to look at West House.

Even if some people always play tricks on him, this matter has always been a big stone in his heart, but now that he has a granddaughter, he also has the confidence to fight back...

For seven or eight days in a row, everyone in the Tai family was busy on all fours, leaving early and returning late, and sometimes they had to light up the lamps to fight at night.

In the county town, more and more people's houses are lit up with ice lanterns, so that every street has a different scenery.

If you climb high and look far away, the lights all over the city are twinkling and beautiful.

As a result, the literati all over the city were busy writing poems and paintings, which made the shopkeeper of the brush and ink shop happy.

This night, Tai Jiye settled another part of his wages and gave the account to his sister-in-law.

Yang Lihua opened the account book and made simple statistics.

The whole family was idle and curious, so they got together to listen to the excitement.

As a result, it wasn't ignorance, but it was shocking.

Except for the Min family, only for the next few orders, after roughly deducting the cost, there were more than 40 taels left.

Going on like this, there will be another half a month, and after finishing all the work, it will not be a problem to leave seven to eighty taels.

Including the reward from the Min family, it's a full 100 taels!
The whole family, old and young, didn't speak for a long time.

Maybe for a wealthy family, 100 taels is just a monthly expense, but it is a huge amount of money that the Tai family has never seen before.

Tai Jizu rubbed his hands excitedly, and whispered, "Father, when I get back, I'll find out who wants to sell the land. Our family bought five acres. If the weather is good, we can get an extra warehouse of grain in autumn!"

Tai Jizong rarely followed suit and suggested, "Dad, buy me a set of carpenter's tools. During the off-season, I can go out to do odd jobs and earn more money. It's time for our house to be repaired."

But Tai Jiye was afraid that his father would forget him, so he yelled, "Father, these years have been bad, and the house is not in a hurry to repair it. Give me half of the money as the capital. I will go to the south for a while, and I will keep it for you to double the income." return."

Mr. Tai was also polite, picked up the pipe and pot, and knocked on each of his sons.

The three Tai Jizu brothers all hugged their heads in pain, not daring to cry out.

Zhuzhu was sitting in the arms of her grandfather, grinning with small white teeth, and there were four words written on the little milk fat, gloating!

Tai Jizu was not angry either, and stretched out his hand to rub his daughter's soft hair.

"It's a worthless thing. The geese haven't even come back from hunting, and they're already arguing over whether to bake it or stew it!" The old man glared at his sons and ordered, "We can go home after the ice sculpture business is over. discuss."

Yang Lihua guessed that the old man still wanted to marry his youngest son a wife, so he quickly responded with a smile, "Okay, dad, I'll keep the money first."

"Take it, all the boys in the family are not as reliable as you. Don't pay attention to them. If anyone dares to make trouble, ask me to deal with them." The old man supported his daughter-in-law and gave her the "Sword of Shang Fang" without hesitation.

Tai Jizu smirked a few times, but he was not angry.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongning were rarely naughty. One helped load the money and the other helped collect the account books.

Liu Dongniang couldn't help but praise, "These two boys have been walking with the third child for a few days, but they are much more stable."

Tai Yongyue immediately said, "Mother, I will definitely learn how to write and calculate in the future, and then do business with my third uncle."

"Me too," Tai Yonglu, not to be outdone, shouted, "I won't be lazy anymore, I want to make a lot of money."

Grandpa Tai rolled his eyes angrily, and pinched his youngest son severely.

Good boy, he didn't want to study and become an official, but got into the eyes of money instead.

In the final analysis, it was the youngest son who was unreliable and spoiled the child!
