Chapter 98 This supervisor is so “vicious”!
Old Master Tai whispered to Uncle Zheng, "Our family will come to this courtyard every few days. If you have anything to say, please put the letter under the wall tiles to the right of the gate."
Zheng Bo nodded gratefully, bowed again, and then reluctantly disappeared into the dark night...
That night, the four of them, young and old, were exhausted from all the tossing and turning. They simply lit a fire in the east room of the shabby yard and went to bed with their clothes on.
When I opened my eyes, it was already noon.
Tai Jiye quickly went to find two carts and bought some food and supplies before leaving the city.
Before, because the Zheng family was wiped out and no trace of the murderer was found, there was panic both inside and outside the city for a long time, and everyone was in danger.
Especially wealthy families, who were afraid that thieves would sneak in at night and set fire to their houses.
As a result, the county magistrate in the government office was under great pressure and organized police officers to patrol day and night and wander around.
Each family also assigned slaves and guards to stand guard at night in groups, and anyone who was lazy would be severely beaten with a stick.
After seven or eight days of this, everyone finally felt relieved when they saw that nothing had happened.
The inspection at the city gate was not so strict, and the soldiers just looked around and asked a few questions.
The Tai family went to the city frequently and became familiar with the gatekeepers, making it more convenient for them to enter and exit.
Originally, Chen Ruiyang wanted to hide in a cashmere bag, but in the end, he just put on a bamboo hat, sat on the shaft of the cart, and came out easily...
In Taijia Village, everyone is still working hard as usual, and the work is in full swing.
Laziness is human nature, and the tribesmen naturally want to take a break occasionally, but unfortunately there is a tribe leader acting as the supervisor.
Mr. Tai Sanye's pipe has almost been worn off by a layer of copper rust in recent times.
If he saw someone being lazy or working slowly, he would pick up the pipe!
As soon as the two carts arrived at the gate of the courtyard, everyone heard the loud voice of Master Tai San.
"Er Mang, what are you doing? You've already seen so many bricks, hurry up and move them! You're just waiting for them to grow wings and fly in! And Da Zhuang, there are techniques for moving stones. Don't use brute force, or you might stretch your waist!"
Everyone was amused. Tai Jiye quietly joked, "My third uncle is so small, but I don't know how he can have such a loud voice. I'm afraid even Zhangjia Village can hear him clearly."
Old Master Tai patted his son and scolded him with a smile, "Hurry up and move your things! Your Third Uncle is doing this for the good of our family. If you dare to make him angry, I'll break your dog legs!"
"Haha, I dare not!" Tai Jiye quickly begged for mercy, laughing, "I just bought tobacco for Uncle San. He must be very happy."
After saying that, he shouted loudly, and when the tribesmen heard the noise, they all came out to help move the bags.
Tai Yongan took advantage of the chaos and carried Chen Ruiyang to the wing room. When the clansmen saw him, they thought that Tai Yongning had followed him out, so no one paid any attention.
To be honest, even if Tai Yongning and Chen Ruiyang were placed together, half of the people in the village would not be able to tell who is who.
After all, Tai Yongning has rarely appeared in public since he injured his leg...
Zhuzhu was playing with a sesame ball in front of the wing room door. Tai Jizong had made a small wooden ball yesterday, which was very smooth.
At this moment, Zhuzhu threw the wooden ball out, and Zhimaqiu ran over and pushed the wooden ball back with his nose, and Zhuzhu giggled.
Occasionally the wooden ball would roll to the big black horse's feet, and it would kick it further away with one hoof, making Sesame Ball bark in anger.
The big black horse snorted in disdain, as if he was arguing with the sesame ball!
When Zhuzhu suddenly saw her grandfather coming back, she didn't care about anything else. She stretched out her chubby legs and ran so hard that the little fat on her face was shaking.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, you're back! Zhuzhu misses you!"
The fat girl climbed up skillfully holding onto her grandfather's thighs. When her grandfather caught her in his arms, she smiled with a row of white teeth and came out to bask in the sun.
The old man kissed his granddaughter and also had a big smile on his face.
He casually took a bag of pine nut candies from his arms and said, "Grandpa has something to do. Go find your brothers to eat candies first. Grandpa will take you out to play later."
"Okay, Zhuzhu, I'll listen to grandpa! Grandpa is the best!" Zhuzhu took the pine nut candy, hugged grandpa and kissed him all over the face, then fed grandpa two bowls of magic soup, then jumped down and went to look for her brothers with the happy sesame ball!
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue had broadened their horizons because they often followed their uncle into the city.
Among their friends in and outside the village, they are the undisputed kings of the children. They are recognized as knowledgeable and can sit down on any tree branch and play music for an hour.
The younger sister came over and shared some pine nut candies with them. The two were so happy. Seeing that their elders were not around, they took a big bite of the younger sister and ran away.
Gather the little brothers and distribute candy and benefits to each of them one by one.
It is not easy to be the boss. You cannot win people's hearts with just words. You must have some good things.
This principle is not taught at home, and they don’t need to be taught.
It is the big dark horse in the stable. You expect it to work hard when needed, and it also needs to be served with several meals a day plus midnight snacks!
Zhuzhu covered the red spot on her face that was bitten by her brother and went into the house with the sesame balls.
Chen Ruiyang was talking to Tai Yongning. Seeing the fat girl pouting, he quickly carried her to the kang.
Chen Ruiyang took out a pair of jade bracelets from his arms and stuffed them directly into his hands.
Although Tai Yongning didn't know much about jade, he knew that the bracelet was definitely not cheap because of its moist texture and elegant floating patterns.
He was about to decline, but Chen Ruiyang said, "Brother Yongning, I'm going to the south to find my father soon. I don't know when I can come back. This bracelet is a parting gift for Zhuzhu! If she grows up and gets married, and I don't have the chance to come back, this can also be a dowry for her."
Tai Yongning had no choice but to say, "Okay, wait for my mother to come in and ask her."
Zhuzhu didn't know how valuable this bracelet was, but the spiritual energy contained in the natural jade made her feel close to it from the bottom of her heart. She happily put it on her wrist and played with it for a long time.
Tai Yongning was terrified, afraid that his sister would break the precious things.
Fortunately, Zhuzhu changed her target after playing for a while.
When Tai Yongan carried Chen Ruiyang in, he also brought a bag of cashmere.
At this moment, the mouth of the cashmere bag opened, revealing soft milky white cashmere, which felt very comfortable to touch.
Zhuzhu's chubby little hands were very dexterous, and she was able to knead the cashmere into thin threads.
Tai Yongning and Chen Ruiyang had nothing to do, so they talked to their sister while coaxing her to play thread together.
They both love reading, especially travelogues, so the more they talked, the happier they became, and their hands didn't stop...
Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang were very busy in the kitchen. They knew that the old man and others were bringing things back from the city and had no time to take care of it.
After finally arranging for the craftsmen and clansmen to have a meal, Yang Lihua breathed a sigh of relief and brought the food to the side rooms, fearing that the children would be hungry.
As a result, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Tai Yongning and Chen Ruiyang talking excitedly, twisting the thread in their hands.
Zhuzhu was even more bizarre, fiddling with two wooden sticks...
