Chapter 61 The new darling of Taijia Village has arrived!
When Zhuzhu heard that her father's mother was lying in the grave, her eyes turned red. She followed the old man to pull weeds and stare blankly together, and was very well-behaved.
The old man was afraid that the mountain wind would hurt his granddaughter, so he wrapped her in his arms, leaving only her chubby little face exposed.
Occasionally a tit would stop nearby, peeking out and looking around with great curiosity.
The old man threw a small stone, which scared away the tit and made his granddaughter giggle.
The father and son packed up their things and went down the mountain.
Tai Jizu and others had already dug half a basket of garlic cloves, and together with the rabbit they had caught earlier, it was enough for the family to have a snack.
The whole family went home on the way.
It was just after noon, the warmest time of the day, and all the villagers who could move around came out for a walk.
Even though the family took the path behind the village, they were still blocked by He Hua who was carrying firewood.
Tai Jizu frowned. This cousin was not an easy person to get along with. Not only did they pluck feathers from passing geese, but they also liked to gossip.
He was just worrying about how to respond when He Hua bowed to the old man. Although she saw the garlic in the basket, she didn't ask a single question and went back with the firewood.
Now, not to mention Tai Jizu and others, even the old man was surprised.
Tai Jiye was quick-witted and laughed, "Oh, Brother Jicai finally showed some strength for once and disciplined his wife! If it were before, we wouldn't have gotten away without a handful of garlic."
Old Master Tai waved his hand and warned, "She's changed for the better, so don't be nosy. Your third uncle was the one who sent her mother back to her parents' home. He must have suffered a lot before, and he's really learned his lesson."
The family chatted as they arrived home.
Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang were both waiting with their legs crossed. When they finally saw everyone coming back, Yang Lihua quickly took her daughter in.
"Is my Zhuzhu tired? Did you find anything fun up the mountain?"
"I'm not tired, I just miss my mother!" Zhuzhu spoke more and more fluently, and became more and more skilled in coaxing people. She hugged her mother's neck, and just one sentence made her mother smile.
Liu Dongniang was also very happy when she looked through the half basket of garlic cloves.
After several months of winter without seeing any fresh vegetables, we don’t have to worry about that anymore.
Today I ate some garlic cloves, and immediately they tasted like cucumber and prickly ash, and there were more and more of them.
Old Master Tai instructed, "Second son's wife, prepare these dishes and send a plate to your third uncle for a fresh meal. If anyone asks, just say we came across them on the roadside while visiting your mother-in-law's grave."
Liu Dongniang quickly agreed.
The old man went into the house to rest, and everyone got busy...
At dinner time, there was a plate of cold-mixed garlic chives in front of Mr. Tai San.
Mr. Tai San was very happy and naturally asked. When he heard that his old brother had gone to visit the grave, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Sixth Uncle has such a miserable life. He's so old and doesn't even have a companion!"
Tai Jisheng's wife smiled and advised, "Dad, don't be sad for Uncle Six. Uncle Six's brothers and sisters-in-law are all filial and sensible."
"That's right!" Mr. Tai San really put on a smile, "Your Sixth Uncle's life is getting better and better now, better than anyone else in the village."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Lotus sat at the bottom, picking at her sorghum porridge, and suddenly asked, "Isn't my sixth uncle planning to look for another one? Do you think my mother is suitable?"
Everyone at the dinner table immediately started coughing, especially Master Tai San, whose face turned red. He was so angry that he pointed at his daughter-in-law with shaking chopsticks, and his eyes looked like he wanted to eat her!
Tai Jicai quickly snatched his wife's job and kicked her out...
People were also having a meal in the Tai family's yard. Half of the unlucky rabbit was stewed, and the remaining half was smeared with salt and hung on the beam to dry.
Good things cannot be eaten all in one meal.
Live a steady and steady life, these words are engraved in the hearts of all housewives.
There were rabbit legs in Zhuzhu's bowl as usual. The fat girl held it with both hands and chewed it until her little mouth was full of oil.
Zhimaqiu circled around her feet, whimpering and wagging his tail so hard that it almost flew off.
The old man laughed and scolded, "That horse seller said Zhimaqiu was a mastiff from the grassland. I see he's not even as good as our local dog! He's not fierce at all, and he's spineless when he sees something good!"
Having said that, he still threw the bone in his hand to Zhimaqiuer.
Sesame Ball took it, held it aside, and started chewing it with his butt facing the old man.
Everyone laughed along. The old man was always like this, tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
Seeing that his father looked good, Tai Jiye took the opportunity to make a request.
"Dad, there's nothing to do at home these days, so I want to go to the city again and see if I can find some work!"
Given the previous job of repairing the house, the old man had no objection. However, considering his son's character, he still instructed, "Don't drink or cause trouble with others, and don't go to the casino. And you must be back in two days!"
Tai Jiye quickly protested, "Dad, our home is so far from the city, it takes a whole day to go back and forth!"
But Mr. Tai didn't care and refused to give in.
"If you think you can't make it in time, then don't go. We already have some money at home, so there's no need to rush to make money."
Tai Jiye had no choice but to agree listlessly.
The next morning, he set out as soon as it was light.
Originally, Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue wanted to follow, but were stopped by the old man.
These two guys have been running around a lot and have fallen behind in their writing and math homework. It’s time to catch up.
However, Tai Yongan was unexpectedly assigned to follow his uncle, and he jumped for joy.
