Full of food and color

Chapter 116
The six of them were very ostentatious walking on the road, and they soon attracted a bunch of villagers to follow. Chen Erniu was ashamed and angry, he had lived a long time, and he wanted to show his shame in front of the villagers!His old face was dark, and he scolded Chen Liu Shi angrily, "Now I know I'm afraid, it's all because of you!"

Chen Liushi was walking with her head buried, and the eyes of the villagers were pointing at her. She couldn't hold back her old face, but who would have imagined that her husband would blame herself, so she snorted and raised her voice deliberately, "Oh, I didn't let her live, and I didn't see you being the head of the family? After all, you are the head of the family, so it's not my fault!"

The two yamen servants behind him couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled, and one of them sighed, "That daughter-in-law is so courageous! Who dares to report on the mother-in-law in ordinary people's houses?"

Chen Erniu and his wife were arguing desperately, and when they heard what the yamen servant said, they stopped at the same time. Chen and Liu looked back bitterly, and said to Chen Erniu in a low voice: "When I get back to the house, I will talk to you." Let the elder say something to expel the boss from the score, and this disaster is not caused by his daughter-in-law?"

Chen Erniu glared at her angrily, "I'm an old fool too, I just heard you talking nonsense before, and even everyone else said that the boss has reason, how can I hide this from the people in the clan? My old face I've lost everything for you, so what face do I have to talk about things in the clan!"

It was already evening when they arrived at the county government office, a servant from below came up to report to Liu Mingda that the two of them had been escorted, Liu Mingda's master nodded, "Let the defendant go to court!"

Liu Mingda slapped the gavel, and the yamen servants below him shouted unanimously, "Mighty—!"

The two of them, Chen Erniu, were immediately brought up by the yamen servants. It was the first time they saw Master Qingtian, coupled with the serious battle around them, they were so frightened that they knelt down immediately, and Chen Liushi kowtowed twice before shaking his sleeves. Wiping away tears, sneaking a look up, seeing Liu Mingda's serious face, he trembled again in fright, "My lord, the lady fell down a few days ago, and can't bear the board."

Liu Mingda couldn't help feeling that it was funny, held back his smile, and slapped the gavel with a straight face, "Sheng Tang—!"

"Bold defendant! Before your second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, made the decision to adopt her concubine Chen Xiujuan to Mrs. Wang before she died. Why did you obstruct it in every possible way when you knew about it?"

Chen Liu's tone immediately softened by three points, "The woman has been injured recently, and I thought about it later..."

With a bang, Liu Mingda slapped the gavel and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense! Just tell the truth about the cause and effect!"

Mrs. Chen Liu was so frightened that she lost her mind. She was afraid of being punished, so she didn't dare to make up any more nonsense. She told all about why she refused to adopt Xiujuan earlier, saying that it was because of the banquet earlier. Son, she couldn't hold her breath, she just wanted to make Mrs. Wang feel uneasy.

Liu Mingda saw that she had confessed truthfully, and it matched what Mrs. Wang said earlier, shook his head, and said to Mrs. Chen Liu: "Since it is Mistress Xiujuan's last wish, it should have been adopted earlier, and there should be no more troubles after returning! Do it! What the plaintiff has done in the case of Xi is affectionate and righteous, and he must not slander him in the future!" He also said to Wang: "As a son and daughter, you should respect your parents, and you must not speak slander again after you go back!"

Only then did Wang breathe a sigh of relief, Liu Mingda stood up, and asked the two parties if they had anything to say. Naturally, Wang was satisfied with the case being resolved, and Chen and Liu didn't dare to say anything, because this case can only be regarded as a civil case. The county magistrate came forward to mediate the dispute. They thought they were going to be punished, but they didn't recover until they got out of the hall. They each breathed a sigh of relief and went home in disgrace.

After leaving the county office, Mrs. Wang thought that since she was in the county, she should go to her daughter's place to take a look. It was already closed at this time, so she went directly to the house of the third aunt of Baozhu.

When Chen Cuixi heard what Wang did today, she was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a while, so Baozhu calmed down and asked her mother, "Does father know about this?"

Mrs. Wang snorted, "Where does your father have the guts? Tell him to go to the main room and tell him again today. If he is not happy, ask your grandfather to tell him that he is even less willing. Mother has no idea. , gritted his teeth and went to the county government office alone."

Baozhu frowned, "Going to the yamen is a big deal, from now on, my parents are probably going to live with grandma..."

Mrs. Wang sighed, "Your grandpa and grandma deliberately made things difficult for mother, but your father doesn't care about it. Mother is a woman, and if she doesn't go to the county government to file a complaint, what else can she do!"

Baozhu also imitated her mother and sighed, "The matter of adoption is finally settled, but I'm afraid my father will be angry."

Mrs. Wang curled her lips, "Your father is unreliable, so I have to find the county yamen master, what can he do?"

A few days later, Liang Dong came to the county, Wang asked him to send a letter, the letter was written by Tuo Sipei, saying that when he went back that day, the village exploded, and Chen Liu was taken away by the yamen that day , The whole village has spread it all over the place. For several days in a row, Mrs. Wang was questioned about it every now and then. Chen Tiegui called the old house that day. I didn't lose my temper, I was just depressed for a few days.The Chen family's old home is also living in peace, but Chen Liu's unavoidable spread rumors outside, but he did not come to the Chen family to make trouble again.Afterwards, life went on as usual, Xiujuan also adopted her, and this time it went smoothly. Although Chen Liushi was not happy, she did not dare to object any more, which made Baozhu feel at ease in the county.

Along with it is a letter from Si Pei herself, and a large part of the letter is to comfort her, saying that her aunt has passed away, but life must go on as usual, Bao Zhu should no longer be immersed in sadness At the end of the letter, I picked up a few stories about my own visits to the doctor and told her about it.He also said that the hawthorns in the mountains are ripe these days, so I have to pick some more and send them to the county to eat in my spare time.

Baozhu closed the letter with a smile, looked up at Liangdong, and saw that although his expression was not as haggard as before, there was a faint melancholy between his brows, making people feel that although he was smiling on his face, he was not very happy in his heart. happy.Thinking about it, he had only lost his mother for seven days, how could he forget it so quickly?He held back some words of comfort that he had prepared earlier, stood up, and took his hand to visit the kitchen, "Cousin, learn how to cook from now on, okay?"

He nodded, "I can do anything, I'm afraid I'm stupid, learn slowly, sister, don't laugh at me."

Baozhu shook her head, took his hand firmly, and said confidently: "As long as my cousin is willing to learn, I will teach you everything I know! We, brothers and sisters, work together, and the shop will definitely get better and better in the future. !"

Liangdong also stretched out his other hand to hold Baozhu's hand tightly, nodded his head heavily, "I will definitely not disappoint my sister."

The house I found for him was two or three alleys away from Sangu's house. The yard was smaller than Sangu's house. There were only two rooms with a small stove. It was just right for them to live in one room. They were in the shop together at night. Liangdong is two years younger than Datou, because he is quiet and composed, not as enthusiastic and active as Datou, among several boys, he appears to be extremely precocious.

He is also very decent in speaking and doing things on weekdays. He follows his second aunt in temperament. What the big guy says is just describing things he knows. He never shows off, just listens with a smile.Third Aunt Baozhu was quick-tempered, and Liang Dong was also slow-tempered. She often yelled at him when she was in a hurry. He never felt unhappy at all. He was such a gentle and gentle person, so gentle that he didn't even have a sense of existence. It took more than half a month for the customers eating in the shop to know that there was a guy like him in the shop suddenly.

To learn all of her abilities, it would take a year or so. Baozhu didn't expect him to be able to achieve much with such a tepid personality, but seeing him earnestly study every day, Being humble and diligent, and quick to learn, he gradually changed his view of him in his heart, and taught him very meticulously, telling him what he had learned without reservation.

I taught him for more than half a month, starting with the most basic knife skills. He was only asked to learn how to cut vegetables every day, and he was not allowed to do any other work.Since he didn't even know how to cut vegetables when he first came, he has already practiced to cut a big radish into forty slices of uniform thickness, which is considered to have made great progress.

In fact, Brother Liangdong is very smart, he can tell what he is teaching him, and if he makes a mistake, he will definitely not make it again next time. After leaving the school, on the second day, he rushed to beg Chen Liushi, wanting Liangdong to go to the school together, but unfortunately... Grandma said that she would not allow him to go to school. Uncle is a lazy man, and all the hard work in the field falls on his cousin and aunt. In this way, his enrollment in school has been delayed.

Even though he was as thin as Brother Sipei, he had already borne the heavy burdens of the house. Baozhu couldn't help feeling pity for this cousin. If he could go to school, by now, with his intelligence, he probably should Can be a scholar...

When he came back to his senses, he sighed slowly, turned his head, and saw that he was asking Tang Bao about the price of every dish in the shop with a serious expression on his face. Remembering it silently, I raised my head and asked him a question from time to time.

Baozhu thought in his heart, Brother Liangdong has been in the county for half a month, and according to his learning speed, he will be almost proficient in knife skills by the end of the year. Then I will teach him how to master the fire and learn a few simple dishes to fry. Counting the days, there is no need to be in a hurry, so she smiled and tugged at his sleeve, "Brother, don't be so impatient, take your time."

Liangdong pursed his lips, and gave her a distressed look, "These days I always see Baozhu working so hard, I want to get started earlier so that I can do more things for my sister."

Baozhu's heart warmed, and she stuck out her tongue playfully at him, "Tang Bao is smart, you don't need to do the work of greeting guests outside, as long as An Anxin learns how to cook from me."
