Lao Tzu is a toad

Chapter 139 Two Children
Back at Zhao's house, compared to the scene of approaching the New Year's Eve a year ago, it was very deserted, but Lafayette, Zhao Sanjin, Huang Fangfei, Zhao Yan's mother and son, Zhao Dabiao and Huang Ruiyang's uncles were all there, and this specification was obvious.

After seeing Zhao Jiadi, the old lady's eyes were moist, and she hugged her grandson who was much darker and firmer, sobbing in a low voice.Zhao Jiadi also said in a trembling voice, grandma, it's not filial, and I haven't been able to accompany you for two Spring Festivals.Lafayette let go of his grandson, took off his blurred glasses and wiped them. After putting them on, he took a good look at them. There is no one who is filial to grandma.Grandma is afraid that Baliang will suffer hardship. You have always suffered from hardship since you were a child. When you were young, your health was not good. Later, when your family had some money, your mother went abroad cruelly. Your grandfather always entrusted me with dreams, saying don’t let Baliang Two suffered.

Zhao Jiadi shook his head with red eyes and said it's not bitter, it's really not bitter.

The family was sitting in the living room, Lafayette had already prepared the kitchen, Zhao Sanjin sat on the sofa with a calm expression, read the newspaper with his signature Erlang legs crossed, and occasionally looked at his increasingly calm son. No one would guess that the northern The mind of a big upstart.Brother Zhao Yan was observing the kid Zhang Xuchu brought back by that brother, and Huang Fangfei was the same, frowning slightly.When Zhao Sanjin led Qi Dongcao into the Zhao family, she had fought for it, and she had been fighting for it all these years, but it was obvious that Qi Dongcao was not in the same camp as she was willing to stand with.

This is a knot that Huang Fangfei doesn't mention to anyone, because she insists that Qi Dongcao, who is mature and transparent, and her son, brother Zhao Yan, who are sharp and sharp, are the most suitable couple. These kinds of extravagance and waste are completely incapable of complementing each other and complementing each other.Zhao Jiadi introduced Zhang Xuchu in detail, and Lafayette was very satisfied, thinking that he was a well-behaved child. To the old lady, as long as the child does not rob the grandson of money, food and women, he is a good child, and he must He is completely devoted to the little eight couples, such as the sparrow and the leopard.Brother Zhao Yan looked disdainful and slightly sour, probably because he was afraid that this outsider would take away his love and care from him.

The family went out of the house to Zhao Shanhu's grave, burned incense, set off firecrackers, and toasted.As usual, Zhao Sanjin would be the last one to stand in front of the grave, holding incense, and saying something with his eyes closed that no one else could hear.It's hard to imagine that the relationship between their father and son was so rigid that they could not say a word for a whole year.In the eyes of the older generation, Zhao Shanhu is a very stubborn but easy-going person. He has lived for 70 years and suffered a lifetime of small losses. Wearing cloth shoes or old-fashioned rubber-soled shoes, drinking ordinary wine and smoking cheap cigarettes, he has always directly talked about the blessings of his grandson in front of all outsiders, if I can live to that day, I will enjoy it with peace of mind, Zhao Sanjin's, I am not happy.

After returning home and having a rare reunion dinner, Zhao Jiadi told Zhao Sanjin that I want the school to let me go directly to the original class, and I will make up the credits owed.Zhao Sanjin gnawed on a chicken leg and nodded, saying that's what I meant from the beginning, you don't need to worry about the school.At this time, the Lafayette of the Zhao family eased his indifference towards Zhao Sanjin.If it is said that Zhao Jiadi went to Shanghai to study for half a year, the Zhao family mansion was covered with dark clouds, then Zhao Jiadi's one year of supporting education in Sichuan, it was a torrential rain, whoever made a small mistake would suffer, and several times have been changed. The nanny who was affected by Chi Yu.

Zhao Jiadi smiled at Lafayette and said, Grandma, the room arranged for little Xu Chu later, don't make it too good, he is not used to living in it, a small wire bed is fine, a desk and a chair are enough.In fact, Zhang Xuchu was frightened when he saw the two jade lions at the foot of the mountain, and later he was shocked by the aura of Lafayette. For some reason, what he was most afraid of was Zhao Sanjin, who was smiling and cheerful, and didn't even dare to look straight at him. For a moment, this child can't be said to be timid and timid, at least he can be calm when facing Wang Shufeng. Zhao Sanjin made a harmless little joke in the living room earlier, asking little Xu Chu if he would like a cigarette, which startled the child. Lafayette and Zhao Jiadi stared at each other, smiled mischievously, and smoked in loneliness.Zhao Jiadi saw that the child was very cautious when eating, so he patted his head and smiled and said you are welcome, this is the home of the second uncle, so let him eat freely, don’t be afraid of getting a bad stomach, try shark fin and abalone, it’s just the same taste , Did you see the plate of shark fin in front of you that looks like vermicelli, but it is actually not much better than Northeast vermicelli.Zhao Sanjin laughed cheerfully, and said, little Xu Chu, your eighth uncle is right, you just eat it as Northeast vermicelli, it is worthless.The child smiled, and he really let go of his belly to eat. He ate three big bowls of rice in one go, filling his stomach like a ball. Lafayette also said happily that this little doll is not bad, just like Baliang, he is a good child to support. I like it very much.

After dinner, Zhao Jiadi took Zhang Xuchu to the room on the 3rd floor that had already been tidied up. Brother Zhao Yan followed on tiptoe. Just as Zhao Jiadi thought, after grandma issued the imperial decree, the room was furnished in a simple, even shabby way. , The small wire bed was carried up from the nanny's room, and the extra things were removed.When Zhao Jiadi was very satisfied, brother Zhao Yan held a cigarette in his mouth and said hello to little Xu Chu, you little brat from the countryside, don’t you call me Brother Ba Ershu? I’m your uncle’s younger brother, so you have to call me from now on Fourth Uncle, do you understand?Little Xu Chu looked straight at him, biting his lip and not speaking.Zhao Jiadi rewarded Brother Zhao Yan with a chestnut, laughed and scolded while cooling off, [-], from now on you can call him Pigeon or Chicken, and he will be one year older than you.Brother Zhao Yan complained, smoking a stuffy cigarette, squinting at the new rural kid, and said disdainfully that he was only one year younger than me, look at my size, and then look at yours, this is the gap, don't you dare call it My fourth and second uncle, see if I don't beat you up.Little Xu Chu was still silent.

Zhao Jiadi didn't particularly protect anyone, he just smiled and said that you're done beating me up, I don't care, as long as you don't get beaten up and call your mother, you can do whatever you want.If you can use your fist to make Xu Chu call you Fourth Uncle, that's your skill.Brother Zhao Yan is such a smart person, he immediately went to Zhao Jiadi's side, and asked in a low voice, brother, this kid like a black loach is still a bad boy, he doesn't look like wow.Zhao Jiadi laughed and said, I don’t know if you beat him up, I don’t care anyway, but there is one requirement, you must win him in a single duel, if you dare to bring your gang of bully friends to play more gang fights, I will kill you.

Brother Zhao Yan began to assess the situation, his eyes rolled sharply.Zhang Xuchu began to arrange his things, some broken bottles and cans brought from Guanyin Village, plus the three books sent by Wang Shufeng, Zhao Jiadi sat on a chair, took the cigarettes from brother Zhao Yan who flattered him, and said Xu Chu will go to school with you in two days, play with you, don't delay his study and class, I don't mind if you have the ability to bully him, but if there are senior guys who look down on Xu Chu and want to make trouble, you know what to do Bar?Brother Zhao Yan slapped his chest and said nonsense, brother is a master in school, who doesn't have eyes, I will open them for him.Brother, since you have brought him into the house, no matter what, he is still a member of our old Zhao family. I still have this point, and no one is allowed to bully him.Zhang Xuchu had finished tidying up at this time. Hearing this sentence, he smiled at Brother Zhao Yan. Brother Zhao Yan said awkwardly, his teeth are whiter than mine, and there is no law.

I'm back.Zhao Jiadi stubbed out the cigarette butt and stretched.

Brother, I'll stay a little longer.Brother Zhao Yan hesitated for a moment and said.

Getting punched so soon?Zhao Jiadi felt amused and said.

No, I'll find out the truth first, and then it's not too late to make a move.Brother Zhao Yan said cunningly.

Zhao Jia left first, while Zhang Xuchu stood vigilantly in place, looking desperate at any time.Brother Zhao Yan waved his hand coolly, saying that I will not fight today, I just want to ask you something, my brother stayed in your poor place for a year, a whole year, tell me, what did my brother do, He doesn't like to tell me these things, he always treats me like a child, alas.Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Zhang Xuchu began to talk about Uncle Eighth's stay in Guanyin Village with a strong Sichuan accent and broken Mandarin.Brother Zhao Yan sat on a chair and smoked cigarettes one after another. He was old-fashioned and sighed with emotion for a while. He went to drink at sister Hu Li's grave when he heard that his brother was free, and talked to himself. His eyes were red, and he wiped Zhang Xuchu hard with his back turned.Zhang Xuchu bowed his head and said that Uncle Ba Er is really a good person. When he was walking to the new school with the students in the village, the adults in the village said that Uncle Ba Er, like Teacher Hu, was a great benefactor of Guanyin Village.Brother Zhao Yan wiped away his tears, and they poured out again. He suddenly stood up and shouted, "You, fight with me, I won't be able to sleep without venting a bit."

Bang bang bang bang.

The two children who were about the same age really beat each other mercilessly.

In the end, the two children sat on the balcony, brother Zhao Yan had a bruised nose and face with many bruises, Zhang Xuchu was safe and sound.

Xu Chu, you look thin and skinny, why did you fight so hard, you are more deadly than an old fritter like me.

Fourth Uncle, Eighth Uncle taught me this. He said that I have a good foundation, and if I don’t learn, it will be a waste. I have to run 40 miles in the mountains every day, and I have to work in the fields, which requires great strength.

It's weird, you beat me, why do you still call me Uncle Four?

You are the younger brother of the eighth second uncle, so I am willing to call you.

That's right, your nephew is affectionate and righteous, my brother saw you right.When you go to school in the future, I will take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy food.

No, I want to study hard and repay Uncle Ba Er when I grow up.

Alright, I've convinced you.

I fight better than you, you should obey me.

Then you still call me Uncle Si Er.

As I said, it's because you are the second uncle's younger brother, not because of anything else.

Grass.

Say this word again, believe it or not, I will beat you again.

tmd!
