Chapter 13 I am the luckiest kid!
The old man snatched the pipe and poked his son, cursing, "Stop touching my pipe and go back to your room and sleep!"
Tai Jiye rubbed his back, grimacing in pain.
Well, in the old man’s heart, the pipe is more important than his son.
Seeing his son's expression, the old man regretted that he had hit him too hard, so he coughed twice and tried to make amends.
"This is what your mother bought me. Please don't break it."
Since it wasn't bought by his mother, Tai Jiye didn't dare to resist. He quickly rolled back to the east room and reunited with his nephews.
The old man was left puffing on his pipe, looking at the flickering fire, wondering what he was thinking...
There are two iron pots in the Tai family kitchen, one big and one small. The big iron pot is used to cook porridge, and the small iron pot is used to stew vegetables. It is very convenient to use.
Today is a rare day, and half a bowl of sorghum rice is steamed in the big iron pot.
The aroma brought by the steam when the pot boiled made Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue, who were guarding the door, stretch their necks.
Liu Dongniang held the shovel in her hand, scooped out the dry rice, and shoveled out large pieces of rice crust with a crunch, then stuffed a piece into each person's mouth.
The two boys ran madly to find their brother and sister to share it with!
Zhuzhu's little white teeth pulled at the rice crust, and her little fat turned red. Finally, she ground off a small piece. Before she could be happy, she used too much force and knocked over the wooden stool.
Tai Yongning quickly reached out and held his sister firmly in his arms.
Zhuzhu smiled with her little white teeth showing, and quickly put the rice crust to her brother's mouth.
Tai Yongning smiled gently, broke the rice crust into small pieces, and slowly fed it to his sister.
Soon, the salty aroma of egg sauce wafted from the kitchen again.
At this time, even the three brothers Tai Jizu could not bear the greed and started to help set the table.
The family brought bowls full of sorghum rice and ate it with blanched frozen cabbage dipped in egg sauce. It tasted sweet and they felt dazed.
In just a few days, the family seemed to have been blessed with good fortune.
First, the silly Zhuzhu recovered, then they caught fish from the river and found bird eggs from the tree.
Even when walking on the road, you might encounter a carriage overturning, and you would make a small fortune!
Having experienced so much misfortune in the past few years, the Tai family felt like they were dreaming about these sudden happy events.
Zhuzhu held her little bowl and ate the white rice that her aunt specially steamed for her. She shook her little head, looked at this and that, and then laughed out loud!
The gray air hanging over the heads of my family members has become lighter!
After some time it will turn into ordinary white, and it will get better and better!
Sure enough, I am the luckiest kid!
The family members saw the fat girl's look and thought she was happy because she had eaten white rice.
Grandpa Tai said, "If Zhuzhu likes it, eat more. Ask your aunt to make it for you often in the future."
Yang Lihua doted on her daughter, but as the head of the family, she couldn't be too partial. "Dad, Zhuzhu has recovered a lot, she doesn't need to eat fine grains every day..."
As a result, when he was halfway through his words, Mr. Tai San came in trembling.
"It's so cold out here! I'm freezing to death..." He was halfway through saying this when he saw that someone was eating in the house. He quickly turned around and was about to leave. "Well, I'll come back later. It's nothing serious!"
Of course, the Tai family couldn't let him go, so Tai Jizu and Tai Jizon hurried forward to support him.
Soon, Master Tai San was settled next to the old man, holding sorghum rice in his hand, looking very embarrassed, "Why are you eating so early? My family just started the fire!"
Old Master Tai respects his cousin very much.
When he went to the army, his cousin took care of the house and yard. What's more, his cousin is now the clan leader and the leader of the whole village.
He smiled and advised: "Don't be polite, brother. Eat first and then we can talk.
"My family got lucky recently and got some good stuff. It's a rare opportunity to eat a dry meal."
Master Tai glanced at the half-full rice bowl and the white rice in Zhuzhu's bowl, then hesitantly picked up his chopsticks.
After the table was cleared, the two old men sat together and drank water to help digest their food.
Master Tai couldn't help but rub his stomach and sighed, "I haven't eaten so full in years. This dry meal is honest!
"It's not like drinking porridge, but still feeling full and making a clattering sound when walking!"
Grandpa Tai poured another half bowl of hot water for his brother and said, "We haven't had a solid meal at home for a long time. If you hadn't come, I would have worried about how to get the children to secretly bring you some."
After saying that, he pulled out his purse again, pinched out a little tobacco and gave it to his brother to fill his pipe, while he still held the empty pipe.
Mr. Tai Sanye is a heavy smoker, but unfortunately he can't even get enough to eat, so how can he afford to buy tobacco...
At this moment, he lit the pipe with trembling hands, exhaled a puff of green smoke, and felt relaxed all over!
But then he became worried again. "Sixth Brother, tell me quickly, what good fortune has come to our family? There's this rice and tobacco, and I won't feel at ease until I understand.
"We are a good family, we can't go astray!"
Tai Jiye was waiting to be praised, so he lingered nearby under the pretext of helping Zhuzhu learn to walk.
After hearing this, he always felt that his third uncle was targeting him. He opened his mouth to refute, but was glared at by his father.
The old man didn't intend to hide it and simply said a few words to his brother.
Master Tai was so surprised when he heard this that he slapped his thigh and said, "This is really lucky! I just lent a hand and got so many good things? Good things, good things!"
Old Master Tai was also happy. "I originally wanted to get Zhuzhu treated and was planning to sell two acres of land. Now that Zhuzhu is well, not to mention, I'm afraid I can buy two acres of good farmland in the spring."
