Chapter 4 Things
The night is dark and the sound of people is gradually disappearing.
The rooster crows, and there are sounds of movement in each yard.
There were also sounds of movement in the yard of Tao Er's house. When Ping Sanshun entered the kitchen, she saw the two daughters-in-law already preparing breakfast. When she left the kitchen, she heard the younger daughter-in-law talking outside the yard.
Ping Sanshun stood in the yard, and the daughter-in-law came in from the yard with a bowl of soy milk in her hand. She saw Ping Sanshun's face full of joy and whispered: "Mom, I went early today. I bought something across the street.
Aunt Liu’s family makes soy milk by herself.”
Ping Sanshun stepped aside and let his daughter-in-law carry the things into the kitchen.
There were a lot of things going on at home that day. Ping Sanshun thought about the accumulation in the backyard and hurriedly left.
After breakfast, the eldest children went to school. Tao Yongneng asked about the arrangements of the three sons in the past few days. Tao Zuoliang said with a smile: "Fu Laoliu said that he had a lot of work on his hands, so our brothers followed him to work in the east of the city."
Tao Yongneng frowned and looked at the expressions on the faces of his three sons: "A few days ago, I heard your uncle say that your cousin took on a big job. Don't you help others, don't you remember that you also have things to do at home?
"
Brother Tao Zuoliang suddenly stopped talking. The two families had been separated for several years, but Tao Yongneng still regarded his eldest brother as his own family.
"Dad, my cousin said that he has to take his time with the work here. The work has been decided. Now he is waiting for the master to send the wood. The matter at Fu Laoliu's side is urgent. He came over to ask our brothers to help for a while.
Naturally we have to go over and help with the work."
Both the Tao Zuoliang brothers understood Tao Yongneng's thoughts. Their grandfather had repeatedly told them that the eldest brother's house could not stand alone, and they could not let go and do nothing after the family was divided.
Tao Yongneng has always respected his brother Tao Yongcheng. Even if the family is separated, he still obeys his brother in everything and has no intention of overstepping his brother and taking charge of the family independently.
After the Tao Zuoliang brothers separated, they noticed slight changes in their cousin's behavior. They didn't really want to get involved in Tao Zuoquan's affairs as before. They were not afraid of hard work, but they just didn't want to look at other people's opinions when doing things.
Act with face.
They could not talk to Tao Yongneng about these things. They could only wait until their cousins grew up. When the children grew up, Tao Yongneng would not worry about their brothers not being so dedicated to their eldest brother's affairs.
Tao Yong was able to go out, but he took on a delicate job outside and could not rest at home during the day.
Tao Zuoran said to Tao Zuoliang: "Brother, please tell me when you have time. The Wen family is working with my cousin. When there are many cousins, there is no need for too many people to work with him."
Tao Zuoliang glared at Tao Zuoran: "Dad and I have told you many times, if it works, do you still need you and Lao San to encourage it from time to time?"
Tao Zuoran and Tao Zuozhu laughed all of a sudden. Tao Zuozhu said with a smile: "Brother, my cousin is doing fine work this time. I am a rough person. My second brother and I are working with Fu Laoliu outside, right?"
"Brother, after Fu Laoliu's work is finished, Lao San and I want to make some things to sell in the shop. My shop can't always have the same items all year round."
Tao Zuozhu looked at Tao Zuoliang with hope in his eyes: "Brother, it's spring. Second Brother's shop will have a few more things, and the business will pick up accordingly. And he can receive big orders in his shop, so we can follow suit."
After the separation, Tao Yong was able to give each of the three brothers a shop. Tao Zuoliang and Tao Zuozhu rented out the shop, but Tao Zuoran insisted on opening a carpentry shop of his own.
At that time, there was fierce opposition from Tao Yongneng, but finally Tao Zuoliang came forward to guarantee that Tao Zuoran's shop would only make small items and would never compete with Changfang's shop for business.
Tao Zuoran also promised at that time that he would never do anything to let outsiders see the excitement of the Tao family's two rooms.
After Tao Zuoran and his wife opened their carpentry shop, Tao Zuoliang and his brothers started selling small items on consignment, which kept them rich throughout the year.
The children in the family are growing up day by day. A father will always think more about things for his children, especially when the children show that they like to read. A father will think more carefully about the future.
thing.
Tao Zuoran watched the changes in the expression on Tao Zuoliang's face. He and Tao Zuozhu exchanged glances. Tao Zuoliang looked at them with helpless expressions on his face: "You also heard what dad said. When my cousin is in trouble, we still have to help.
After all, we are helping others, and it is even more important to help our cousin. My cousin is still a member of the family, and he will not completely rely on the Wen family for work."
When An Erzhi brought a pair of children to the front yard, their brothers were still talking together. Tao Qingbi rushed forward and hugged Tao Zuoran's legs, raised her head and called with a smile: "Uncle, dad, uncle."
Tao Zuoliang reached out and touched his niece's head: "Niuniu wants to go out with your mother?"
"Well, I'm going to sell something."
Tao Zuozhu listened to Tao Qingbi's words and said with a smile: "How many things does Niuniu want to sell?"
"Dad said don't be greedy, just sell one thing."
Both brothers Tao Zuoran and Liang laughed, and Tao Zuoran was the best at making his daughter happy.
Tao Zuoran picked up his daughter and said to Brother Tao Zuoliang: "Second brother, I'm going to open the shop and go directly to Fu Laoliu's house."
Tao Qingbi stuck her head out from Tao Zuoran's shoulder. After looking around, she shook her hand at brother Tao Zuoliang, then looked up at Tao Zuoran and said, "Dad, grandma went to the backyard again."
"Well, there are a lot of things at home, and grandma has a lot to do."
Tao Qingbi held Tao Zuoran's lapel with her little hands and asked, "Dad, when will you make a rocker for your brother?"
Tao Zuoran burst out laughing after listening to his daughter's words: "Niuniu, take good care of your brother in the shop, and dad will make a rocking car for you to play with in his free time."
An Erzhi heard the conversation between their father and daughter and said disapprovingly: "Niuniu daddy, you can't just do everything according to Niuniu's temper."
Tao Qingbi reached out and grabbed her brother Tao Weiqi's hand. At this time, she heard An Erzhi's words and argued: "Mom, I asked my father to make a rocker for my brother. I'm old and I won't compete with my brother to play with it. Right? Qi."
brothers."
"Sister, listen." Tao Weiqi reached out and patted An Erzhi's arm, making An Erzhi so angry that she turned to him with a straight face: "If you listen to your sister so much, then why don't you walk on the ground?"
Tao Weiqi held An Erzhi's neck tightly with both hands. Tao Qingbi reached out and patted his hand: "Brother Qi, let go quickly, mother can't breathe."
Tao Weiqi let go and looked at Tao Qingbi with an aggrieved expression: "Sister, you're bad."
"Sister is not bad."
"Sister, walk."
The two siblings were walking on the ground. Tao Zuoran and An Erzhi followed a pair of children. Tao Zuoran whispered to An Erzhi: "When I have free time, I will also make a rocking chair for you."
