Pastoral little master

Chapter 13 The Incident
Ready to have dinner, the main room is very lively, three tables have been lined up.

Erlang, Sanlang and Shiro who went out to play also came back talking and laughing.

Seeing the three of them, Mr. Tan sullenly said, "What are you guys doing? I haven't seen anyone all afternoon."

Erlang and Shiro shrank their heads and hid behind their father Tan Decai, not daring to speak.

Sanlang Tan Xinliang came forward with a smile, kneaded Mr. Tan's shoulders, and said, "Grandpa, let's look around, do you want to get some work?"

The 17-year-old Saburo looks like Tan Deyin, with a tall figure, fair skin like a girl, and a pair of peach blossom eyes full of smiles.

On weekdays, he has a three-point smile on his face when he has nothing to do, which is according to Yang.

Saburo is very popular with women, and every time he goes out with Tan Deyin to perform errands, he can always seduce those girls and daughter-in-laws, their hearts beat wildly and their faces blush.

Mr. Tan's tense face relaxed, "Stinky boy, what kind of work do you do? It's only reasonable to learn more at home when you have time."

His tone softened, with a hint of pampering.

After glancing at the shrinking Erlang and Shiro, at the dull-eyed Dalang, then at the sickly-faced Liulang and the ignorant Qilang, Mr. Tan sighed secretly in his heart. Now only Sanlang, the son of the family, can stand on the stage. .

It's not a good thing to go on like this.

Mr. Tan has hidden worries in his heart.

"Hehe, Dad, Sanlang wants to earn more money for the family. This child has been sensible since he was a child." Yang Shi happened to come out and heard it, and immediately responded with a smile.

Unceremoniously put gold on his son's face.

Mr. Tan rolled his eyes at Yang, and said displeasedly, "What do you know, only by studying can you be successful.

Alas, it's a pity that none of you are material for studying, and all my hard work was in vain. "

Mr. Tan pointed at his grandsons one by one, feeling very sad.

Erlang and the others all lowered their heads, and Liulang also lowered his head.

Liu Lang wanted to study, but he was too weak and often fell ill, so he couldn't study.

Mr. Tan finally set his sights on Tan Deyou, and said in a gentle voice, "Old man, you should read it carefully, but father is counting on you to shine in the family and ancestors in the future.

The ancestors of our Tan family are from a prominent family, and my father very much hopes to revive the family and reappear the glory of the past. Don't let your father down. "

Mr. Tan's face was filled with disappointment and longing.

It's just that Tan Deyou, who had high hopes, was sweating coldly on his back, and he was under a lot of pressure.

The wish of old Tan father and son is an impossible task for him.

And Tan Deyin and others listened to Mr. Tan's words, they all laughed and put their hopes on Tan Deyou, which is really a big joke.

However, no one dared to point it out in person!
Qiduo looked at Mr. Tan's eyes full of expectation, then looked at Liu Lang, pursed her lips, Liu Lang should go to study!
Erxia and Liuju helped Mrs. Wu put the food on the table.

The staple food is porridge, and the dishes are salted radish, salted cabbage and salted beans. Each table has a large plate, which is very simple.

Looking at the food, most people curled their lips, and Mr. Tan also frowned.

"Eating porridge alone won't do anything, just yawn and it will be gone." Tan Deyou said in a low voice.

"Grandpa, I don't drink porridge, I want to eat eggs." Qilang raised his face and pouted.

"Hey, eggs, I want eggs too." Da Lang agreed with a smirk.

Looking at Da Lang's appearance, Tan Deyin frowned, with disgust in his eyes.

Erlang and Shiro moved their lips, they wanted to follow behind, but they had to keep their mouths shut because of the food cooked by Mrs. Wu.

San Lang answered with a smile, "Uncle Wu is right, these days I am so hungry that I can't sleep at night, and my heart is torn and uncomfortable."

"Hey, father, look at the fifth brother who reads every day, so eating just these things is not worth it.

And the fourth younger brother walks from village to household with burdens every day, so tired, his body will not be able to bear it if this continues. "Tan Deyin shook his head again and again.

He himself was dissatisfied with the food, but he used Tan Deyou and Tan Debao as excuses.

"I'm fine with these things." Tan Debao said lightly, without any affection from Tan Deyin.

Mr. Tan asked Mrs. Wu, "Third daughter-in-law, is that all?"

Wu Shi heard other people express dissatisfaction, she was not annoyed at all, she answered with a smile, "Yes, dad."

"Third daughter-in-law, these children are growing up. How can they drink porridge every day? It's fine if you don't spread some pancakes. You should also put some sweet potatoes in the porridge, so that they will make you hungry." Mr. Tan said .

In the past, the Zhao family was in charge of eating, and Mr. Tan never talked too much.

Mrs. Wu stomped her feet, suppressed her smile and said, "Ah, father, mother is so ill, I don't have the heart to make food.

Besides, I haven't been working in the fields these days, and it's night, so this is enough to eat. I want to save some food. "

Afterwards, she glanced at the others and asked, "Are you willing to eat this or that?"

She uses this excuse to cover up her laziness.

In this situation, can others say that they want to be popular and spicy?
Mrs. Zhao came out of the house slowly, what Mrs. Wu said was exactly what she wanted.

"Old man, the third daughter-in-law is right.

As for living, it can be saved or it should be saved. When the work in the field gets busy, the grain is like running water, and it will bottom out in a few days. Mrs. Zhao found a small chair and sat down beside Mr. Tan.

"Oh, mother, why did you come out? Do you feel better?" Wu asked with concern, and she was very satisfied with Zhao's support.

"Come out to get some air." Mrs. Zhao waved her hand.

Wu Xing whispered a few words to Yang Shi.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Yang's lips, and there was anger in his eyes.

"Father, what mother said makes sense, mother is still sick now, no one is in the mood to eat well.

It’s just that the fourth uncle and the fifth uncle work very hard every day. One has to get up early to study, and the other has to get up early to do business. This body can’t be sloppy, and we don’t care.

Shichiro is still young, it's okay to be hungry a few meals.

I remember that there was still some lunch left, which was enough for the fourth and fifth uncles to eat, so I went to warm them up right now. " Yang said sincerely.

"The third daughter-in-law is cooking today, let her go." Mr. Tan agreed, agreeing to Yang's proposal.

The work that Mrs. Wu should do must be done by Mrs. Wu, impartial.

"It's okay, Sanniang is also tired today, I'll go." With a calm smile on her face, Yang waved her hand generously and walked out of the main room.

The complexions of Wu Shi, Sizao and Tan Guihua changed, only Bali didn't realize anything, and had lowered his head to eat the porridge with a small bamboo spoon.

Sandao and Wuxing lowered their heads to cover their mouths, and smiled quietly.

"Grandpa, I'll help my mother light the fire." Wu Xing, who had always been lazy, also stood up, and followed Yang out of the main room.

Mrs. Xu is doing it steadily. Normally, on such occasions, she will keep silent, and she will never compete with other sisters-in-law for performance.

Erxia and Liuju also sat quietly, only waiting for Mr. Tan to say that dinner was served before moving their chopsticks.

Sitting opposite Sandao, Qiduo happened to catch her weird smile, a little puzzled, is this kind of thing funny?

But she had a hunch that something might happen next.

"Let's all eat," said Mr. Tan.

Everyone took their chopsticks and started to eat. All of a sudden, there was the sound of porridge drinking in the main room.

Wu's back began to sweat.

Si Zao's face turned pale with fright, and the chopsticks trembled in his hands.

Tan Guihua drank porridge and ate vegetables calmly.

"Father, mother, I'll help." Mrs. Wu hurriedly walked outside the main room.

But she only walked a few steps before Wu Xing ran in and said in a thin voice, "Grandpa, grandma, the food is gone."

The main room suddenly became quiet, and everyone put away their chopsticks.

Qiduo rolled her black eyes, and finally understood why Sandao was laughing, maybe she knew about it a long time ago.

Alas, they are all a family, why so!
Qiduo shook her head slightly.

Zhao's eyes turned cold, and he immediately turned to Wu's back.

Mrs. Yang also walked in and asked Mrs. Wu on purpose, "Sanniang, where did you put the leftovers from lunch? I searched around but couldn't find it?"

"Hehe, Er Niang, you remember wrongly, where is there leftovers at noon?" Wu smiled dryly, trying to excuse herself.

She was very annoyed at herself, why she was so frightened just now, she didn't know how to say this to save herself.

If he had said this before, Yang would definitely not have gone to the kitchen, and there would be nothing like this.

Yang curled her lips, "Sanniang, how is it possible, my mother was thirsty in the afternoon, so I went to the kitchen and saw a large bowl of rice in the cupboard, at least two or three bowls.

By the way, the aunt also saw it at the time. Turning to look at Mrs. Xu, "Auntie, right?" "

Mrs. Xu did see that there was food in the cupboard, and she didn't want to say anything, but Mrs. Yang asked, so she nodded, "Yes."

Qiduo is a little dissatisfied, you, Mrs. Yang, want to find fault with Mrs. Wu, so don't get involved with my family.

Mrs. Wu patted her forehead, and said like waking up from a dream, "Ah, Er Niang, you reminded me that I think there is leftovers.

God, who is this who secretly ate the rice, don't hurt me, I didn't eat it. "

She stomped her feet, raised her voice, and called out grievances solemnly.

Wu Xing pulled Yang's arm and said, "Mother, I remembered something, it might have something to do with rice."

"What's the matter, tell me." Yang raised her chin.

Wu Xing nodded, "Probably after Uncle came back from grabbing the medicine, my second sister and I were holding our shoes by the window, and saw Ba Li running from the haystack to the kitchen with something in his hand.

In the blink of an eye, we could smell the fragrant oily aroma. We didn't pay attention at that time, thinking it was Sanniang who was cooking.

After a while, I saw Sanniang coming out of the kitchen, wrapping something in a jacket and going back to the house. Afterwards, Sizao and Bali also went back to the house.

When they came out of the house again, they vaguely heard Bali say that fried rice with eggs was delicious. "

This has been said very clearly.

"Wu Xing, don't spout blood." Wu said angrily with red eyes.

"Sanniang, I'm telling the truth. Little aunt should know about it, and fourth uncle also saw it." Wu Xing added.

Old man Tan's face darkened.

He is not afraid of the juniors eating, but what he hates most is stealing, as if he is so mean.

"Fourth, did you see it?" Mr. Tan asked.

Tan Debao shook his head, "I only saw Osmanthus fragrans and Sister-in-law San talking in the west chamber."

Zhao Shi's face was beyond words. She stood up and took the tickle on the small table beside her in her hand.

"Osmanthus fragrans, tell me, what's going on? If you don't tell me, I'll see how I deal with you." Mrs. Zhao asked Tan Osmanthus fragrans.

Tan Guihua hurriedly explained for herself, "Mother, it has nothing to do with me. I just came back from embroidery at Xiaolian's house, and my sister-in-law called me to eat. I don't know anything else."

Things came to light all of a sudden, leaving Wu with nowhere to hide.

Wu's and Si Zao's faces turned sallow, and they knew that there would be a storm coming.
