The night is getting darker and darker, and there is silence between heaven and earth. Only the cold wind blows through the treetops, slowly playing the prelude of the years, whining and making sounds...

When the early morning sun finally climbed to the top of the East Mountain, the chimneys of every house in Taijia Village had been emitting green smoke for a long time.

As soon as the Chen family members in the row house woke up, a village woman brought a large basin of warm water into the house with a smile. After they had washed up, the fire bed had been burned again, ensuring that it would be warm during the day.

The big table on the kang was also set up, with a big pot of two-meter porridge, served with hot steamed buns stuffed with pickled cabbage and meat, as well as fried pork with shredded mustard, cold shredded cabbage, spicy and sour radish strips, pickled cucumber and other small side dishes. The table was full.

Everyone couldn't care less about being polite, and hurriedly gathered in front of the table, ate the hot rice porridge, took a bite of the meat buns, and a bite of pickles. They were really tired from the journey, and the hangover from last night was all cured.

"Sister-in-law, our cooking skills are really good!"

“That’s right, that’s right, we’ve traveled all over the country and eaten buns from many places, but ours is the most delicious!”

"We can open the bun shop!"

Everyone praised it while eating, which made the women laugh and feel extremely proud.

The woman in charge who came over today to take care of her was the third aunt. She served porridge to everyone and said, "Yong Yue's mother made the fillings for these buns, and she also made the noodles. We are here to help! If you like it, Eat, I’ll tell Yong Yue’s mother and I’ll steam it for you from now on.”

Everyone in the Chen family thanked them again and gave the women some steamed buns, asking everyone to eat them together.

But the women refused. Since they were here to entertain guests, it was hard for them to argue. Secondly, life at home is easy, but it’s not like before when I could be shameless just for a bite to eat. The pig was slaughtered yesterday, and their family shared four or five kilograms of meat, which they can eat at any time...

If you are well-endowed, you will know the etiquette.

On the premise of having enough food and clothing, everyone is willing to "powder" their face instead of "smear it".

In the Tai family yard, a family of young and old and Chen Zhao also had breakfast together. As for the half-immortal, he drank too much last night and was still sleeping with his head in his arms.

After the dining table was cleared and the tea was replaced, Mr. Tai picked up his precious granddaughter and chatted with Chen Zhao.

"Going to the south this time, do you have any clues about what you want to investigate?"

The three Tai Jizu brothers also looked at Chen Zhao. They were all familiar with the Zheng family's tragedy, so they were naturally concerned about it.

Chen Zhao nodded and responded in a low voice, "Although it has been a long time, I still found some clues. I can't catch the murderer for the time being, but I can already confirm that she is the woman surnamed Zheng married in the south! "

Everyone sighed, remembering that Chen Ruiyang's father was so angry that his teeth itched with hatred, and he was nothing more than an ungrateful white-eyed wolf.

He was supported by his wife's family and became an official, but he actually married another woman outside the country. As a result, he killed his wife and almost even his son.

Mr. Tai still asked the key point, "Does Ruiyang's father... know about this matter?"

A flash of anger flashed in Chen Zhao's eyes, and he responded, "We can't find out for the time being, but how could he not know at all that the person next to him committed such a murder? He was just pretending to be confused and taking advantage. Ruiyang went there, but In Shunde Mansion, few people know about the existence of Ruiyang, and even those who know about it think that Ruiyang is an outsider."

He snorted coldly, couldn't help but slapped the table, and cursed, "A dove occupies a magpie's nest! It's really too much to bully a serious legitimate son into treating him as a foreign wife!" Tai Jiye quickly advised, "Brother Chen, please be careful. Calm down, it's natural law to retaliate, and the truth will be revealed one day. Ruiyang is living well now, and you have a caravan with you, so everything will come to light."

"Yes, people have to look forward. Don't make yourself so angry, Ruiyang will have nothing to rely on." Tai Jizu also persuaded, and Tai Jizu helped refill the tea.

Chen Zhao calmed down for a long time and finally took a deep breath. He bowed his hands and saluted the young and old of the Tai family, "Uncle, having Ruiyang under your care has really helped me a lot.

"Now that I have found out the truth, I am not afraid that someone here in Tai'an will be harmful to Ruiyang. Next, I have to go to the grassland. There are some things that have not been dealt with by the third prince. I still have to trouble your family to help me take care of Ruiyang for a while. .”

"What are you talking about, silly boy!" Mr. Tai waved his hand, "Ruiyang is our child. If he is no longer in our family, where else can he be? Just go and do your work, don't worry about Ruiyang."

Tai Jizu also said, "Yes, recently his adoptive mother was carrying the three brothers to make up for their homework. However, Yonglu and Yongyue had an accident this time, which delayed a lot of time. I am afraid that they will have to write their copybooks during this period. It’s time to throw up.”

Everyone laughed along with them, silently shedding tears of sympathy for the three boys.

Chen Zhao was thinking about going to the city today, so he said to Tai Jiye, "If you are not busy at home, would you like to go to the city with me to meet my friends? From now on, even if I am not in Tai'an, they will take care of you when you walk in the city or It’s also convenient to do business.”

"Of course." Tai Jiye was happy and agreed immediately.

When Mrs. Zheng was buried, Chen Zhao's friends were also there, but because they were not familiar with her, they had little contact with the Tai family.

However, in a situation like that, when everyone avoids it, they can stand up, which is enough to show that they have good character.

Tai Jiye is also willing to move around more. Many friends mean more roads!

Chen Zhao was worried about the boys and asked the old man, "If uncle is not worried, how about I take the boys with me? I will never let them leave my eyes!"

Mr. Tai nodded and responded, "There is no reason to give up eating because of choking. The boy will have to go out of the house and explore in the future. You can't just hide at home and be a timid mouse because of such a trivial incident, right?

Feel free to take it out, it’s good to relax! "

Chen Zhao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Uncle, this is what I admire most about you. You are always so magnanimous and fearless. The boys in your family will be taught by you and they will all be upright men from now on!"

The old man quickly waved his hand, "Don't touch me. I feel sorry for the boys too. I wish I could hide them under my arms forever. But there is no way. I am only so capable. If they want a better life, they have to be strong on their own." Have the guts to go out and earn it!”

After chatting for a few more times, the boys who took the big black horse and the big white horse out for a drink of water came back.

Chen Ruiyang was happy to hear that Chen Zhao and Tai Jiye were taking them into the city to eat in a restaurant, but Yonglu and Yongyue were hesitant.

The old man sent them to change their coats and trousers, and gave them a task, "Remember to buy some fresh food and come back. While your Uncle Chen is here these days, our family will improve the dining table and cook more delicious food." .”

Zhuzhu liked the excitement. Seeing that her family was going to the city, she wanted to change into a beautiful dress, but the old man stopped her.

"Zhuzhu won't go, Zhuzhu will stay at home with grandpa. There is a big task that only Zhuzhu can help grandpa with!" (End of Chapter)
