Chapter 45 Lotus is a tough guy!
Master Tai San quickly said, "That's right. Now even bears wouldn't dare to circle around our village. But Mancang is such a jerk with his mouth, he needs to be punished, or he won't learn his lesson!"
Old Master Tai was actually quite angry, but most of the clan members were managed by his eldest brother, so if he made a fuss about it, he would be slapping his eldest brother in the face.
To be honest, it’s a good thing that this drunk and talking nonsense guy is in the village. If he were in the army, he would definitely be beaten with a military stick.
He thought for a moment and said, "Let's punish this kid by not drinking alcohol for a year and clearing the snow pile at the village entrance!"
"Okay, that's the punishment! Doesn't he like drinking? Let him indulge himself! If he has the energy to gossip, he will naturally have the energy to work!" Master Tai San immediately agreed.
Finally, he warned, "Sixth Brother, don't get angry. It's just a few idle words. It will be over in a few days when we are busy farming."
Mr. Tai nodded.
The two of them tacitly changed the topic and talked about spring plowing.
Last year, and even in the past few years, there were constant disasters and the fields had not had a good harvest for a long time.
The two were unsure about the weather this year, but they still had some hope.
The two old brothers looked at the sky outside and puffed on their pipes.
One of them is tall and strong, the other is thin. When viewed from behind, both of them have hunched waists.
There is no way. No matter how strong a person is, he cannot defeat God. He is no match at all!
Master Tai sighed, "This year, please don't have drought or floods. Let's have a year of good weather and good harvests!"
Zhuzhu was playing with the small straw cage in her hand seriously, and she shouted in a baby voice.
"Good weather and good harvest!"
Master Tai laughed heartily upon hearing this and praised, "Our Zhuzhu is so well behaved. Thank you for your good words, little one!"
Grandpa Tai was so happy that he hugged his granddaughter and asked, "Zhuzhu, tell me what will happen this year!"
"Good weather and good harvest!" Zhuzhu blinked her big eyes, and Xiaopang pointed at Grandpa Tai San.
Fatty's meaning was very clear. It was Mr. Tai San who said it, so she just followed suit.
But the old man was still extremely happy. He picked up his granddaughter with his intact right arm, carried her on his shoulder, and ran around the house.
Zhuzhu was afraid of falling, so her chubby hands hugged her grandfather's head tightly, her little face was so bright with smiles, and a row of little white teeth were all revealed!
Now it was Mr. Tai San's turn to be surprised!
He knew that his elder brother loved his granddaughter, but this was too much.
Just because his granddaughter said something nice, he was so happy that he ran around like a colt...
Grandpa Tai made his granddaughter giggle. After she finally sat down, she saw her elder brother's appearance and couldn't help but cough twice to cover it up vaguely.
He couldn't say that his granddaughter was the most blessed, and that the weather would be good and the harvest would be good, and that this year would definitely be right.
After a while, go to the cattle and horse market and see if there is an old horse or a working ox to buy.
After being so busy all year, I must fill the granary by autumn!
After seeing off Master Tai San, Tai Jiye came in from outside and asked about his father.
"Dad, are we just going to let this go? Mancangzi is such a piece of shit. I can't take him with me to work anymore!"
Old Master Tai waved his hand and replied, "It's fine as long as you know what's going on. You still have to call on Mancang when it comes to work, but you can't leave important tasks to him, as it could easily ruin the arrangements."
Tai Jiye nodded, then moved closer to his niece and said with a smile, "Zhuzhu, have you finished your snacks? Uncle San went to the city a few days ago and came back in a hurry. He hid them in the firewood pile for half the night, so I really didn't have the chance to buy you some."
"Are you hungry? Tell me, what do you want to eat?"
He said this, but his eyes were looking at his old father.
Zhuzhu had no idea that her uncle was using her as a raft. She drooled, fiddled with her chubby hands and started counting.
"Mung bean cakes, shortbread, ox tongue cakes..."
"Okay, buy them. Uncle San will buy them all!" Tai Jiye responded readily, and then laughed ingratiatingly.
The old man glared at his son and scolded him, "You good-for-nothing! You're even targeting your niece! Get out of here! Go to the city if you want! But if you get into trouble, I won't be the one to clean up your mess!"
"Haha, thank you, Dad!" Tai Jiye jumped up with joy, repeatedly assuring, "Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely not cause any trouble. I didn't have time to talk to Manager Min last time, so this time I have to think carefully about it and find some flexibility for my second brother."
After saying this, he was afraid that his father would change his mind, so he ran to pack his bags and went into the city immediately.
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue have already called themselves Uncle San's little followers, and they will follow him as usual this time.
Old Master Tai didn't stop him. It wouldn't hurt for the boy to broaden his horizons. Besides, if his son needed help, he could have someone to run errands for him.
It has to be said that the eldest son and granddaughter always occupy the heart of the old man!
The days passed by little by little. After Mancangzi had worked tirelessly to clean up the village entrance, Tai Jiye returned from the city with his two boys.
Tai Jiye not only brought two boxes of snacks for his niece, but also some good news.
He really used his eloquence to get the job of renovating the Min family's house.
Tai Jizong was overjoyed. He patted his brother twice and praised him to his father, "Dad, look how amazing the third brother is! Although he's unreliable sometimes, he's pretty sensible most of the time!"
Old Master Tai snorted coldly and was about to speak when Zhuzhu, who was eating snacks, shouted something.
"Uncle San is the best!"
Everyone in the family burst into laughter, and Tai Jiye hugged his little niece and kissed her again and again, making promises all the time.
"When Third Uncle makes a lot of money in the future, I'll open a snack shop for you. Then you won't have to buy snacks anymore. Third Uncle will let you live among snacks!"
The fat girl was attracted by the pancake drawn by her uncle, and nodded her head so hard that her braids were about to fly off!
Soon, Tai Jizong went to discuss the matter with a few good craftsmen.
Seeing that the wind outside was not strong, Grandpa Tai wrapped his granddaughter in a cotton jacket and took her to the home of Grandpa Tai San to talk and let his granddaughter meet some people.
Mr. Tai Sanye's house is in the middle of the village, so it is not difficult to find.
Today it was Hehua's turn to make lunch, but she used the excuse of a stomachache and was so lazy that she didn't get up from the bed until the sun was halfway up in the sky.
At this moment, Grandma Tai San was blocking the door and scolding her daughter-in-law.
"Are you too lazy to have maggots crawling on your body? You've slept all winter, and you're still lying on the kang all day long! If you didn't know, you'd think you were laying eggs or brooding! Hurry and get up! If you're late, you won't have to eat today!"
Lotus is not afraid of anything else. She can let her mother-in-law scold her as much as she wants, as it won't cost her any meat. But she can't be deprived of food.
With her messy hair, she lazily got up and opened the door. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Grandpa Tai coming in holding Zhuzhu.
She thought her job-stealing scheme had been exposed, so she slammed the door shut, almost pinching Tai Sannai's finger.
The old lady was furious and started to curse even more.
Mr. Tai San originally didn't want to interfere with the old woman's discipline of her daughter-in-law, but when he saw his old brother coming over, he felt embarrassed and shouted a few words.
The small courtyard finally returned to peace, and Zhuzhu finally dared to poke her head out of her grandfather's arms!
