MTL - Self-cultivation of Male Supporting Role-Chapter 360 Satisfy
Shi Yan and these friends and dogs, they usually do things on the street by touching porcelain and corrupting money, going to brothels for free, or being hired to make trouble at someone's door, such as medical trouble, pretending to be the family of the deceased all day at the entrance of the medicine hall. troubles and the like.
There's a lot to do with these, and basically make a living out of it.
Because this kind of thing doesn't happen from time to time, and each host's generosity is different, so these people spend most of the year hanging out on the street, and they do a lot of stealing.
Even if they report to the official, these people are more diligent in entering the official prison than returning to their own home, and they are not afraid at all.
What they do are petty thefts, and it takes a few days at most to shut them down. They are all repeat offenders. At the beginning, the Yamen adults will deliberately go to court for trial. Later, when they saw these people, they waved their hands in annoyance: "Shut up for three or five days."
In the past, Xu Laowu was also one of these people. Originally, as a country man who had never seen the world, he could not get in touch with these people.
But after he became the son-in-law of the Miao family, the Miao family drove him to the groom's servant's room to sleep. It was as if there was no such person in the family. He didn't care about his life or death at all. .
Gradually, I learned not to stay in the Miao family's house.
These people originally targeted Xu Laowu because he was the son-in-law of the Miao family and wanted to shave a layer of oil and water on him. Who knew that after spending a long time together, they found that the purse in Xu Laowu's pocket was cleaner than his face. To say he is poor is to flatter him.
After coming and going, Xu Laowu is familiar with these people. Most of the days when he is not seen by the Miao family, he is living behind these people, but he is timid and acts as a traitor and criminal Don't dare to be contaminated, for fear of being abandoned by the Miao family after entering the prison.
The Miao family didn't want to see him again, and they still had food and clothing, unlike in Xujia Village, where the lame father, the blind mother, plus a whole room of men who didn't even have a change of pockets and trousers, went back to him, life was better than death.
In Xu Laowu, it is better to die than to live, and he has practiced it very thoroughly.
When I went out to meet these people today, Shi Yan was not surprised at all, facing the crowd around him, with a smile on his face, and his daughter in his arms, and his son holding hands, said: " Say hello to your uncles."
Although Ayun and Xiaobao were a little scared, they still obediently greeted a few people with soft and glutinous voices. After the question, he hides behind Shi Yan in curiosity and fear to observe secretly, innocent and cute.
These people are also seeing the two children of Xu Laowu for the first time. They are not without a family. Some children are even older than A Yun, but people like them have a lot to do with the children at home. Well, that is to forget about it.
Therefore, seeing that Shi Yan was so close to the two children, some people were very jealous, so he said carelessly: "I heard that the person in your family would never let you near the children, but now I look at it... It's a good thing for you! "
What was omitted in the middle, everyone understood that it was a good thing for Shi Yan to say that Miao Fenghua was gone.
Things can't be calculated like this. If Miao Fenghua is alive, the Miao family can't fall into the current miserable situation. Xu Laowu is still a little gangster Xu Laowu, so there is nothing to do with Shiyan.
But there is no need to share these things with these people, and they do not understand.
So Shi Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "This is everyone?"
One of the scruffy people smiled and pointed at Shi Yan's nose: "Our brothers heard that the shopkeepers of the Miao family fled with money, and the day when the Miao family came to Shangwu County, they said they would go to your house to help you support the situation. .
Later, when I thought about your kid's behavior, I felt that this was just your chance, so I didn't bother you.
Now, look, we were wrong. "
Shi Yan was noncommittal about the truth of what he said. After verbally expressing his thanks, he said to several people, "It will be an auspicious day in three days. I plan to reopen the rice noodle shop in my house, and I will invite a few brothers to show their respect."
Someone said without hesitation: "I heard that the secret recipe of your rice noodle shop is in charge of your family. With your relationship, she can still leave a recipe for you?"
Others also expressed surprise.
Of course not, Miao Fenghua was out of energy when she left, and she didn't even have more energy to arrange the affairs behind her, so that Mrs. Miao faced such a situation.
Besides, whether it is the original formula or not, old customers will know after a taste, and there is nothing to hide.
He only showed a wry smile: "You all know that I am not a promising person, I was frightened of hunger in the countryside when I was a child, and I couldn't help but think about it for a minute or two when I saw the food.
Right now, I figured out this recipe myself, and I'm not sure if I can reopen the rice noodle shop.
But there is no rice to cook at home, and if I don’t want to find a way to make a living, do I really want to go back to Xujia Village to farm? If my family really had land to grow, they wouldn't let me be the son-in-law of the family simply and neatly.
I'm afraid I don't even have a place to live when I go home. "
When Shi Yan said this, it made people believe it, and some people comforted him: "It's right not to go back, such a big thing happened in the Miao family, and no one in your family has come forward.
It means that they don't want you to go back. Although we are bastards, we know the warmth and affection of human beings.
If you stay in the county town, the Miao family is still up to you, and when you go back, you just look at the faces of your parents, elder brothers and sisters-in-law, and I have had enough of this hardship.
But these people are not very optimistic about Shi Yan's business. It turns out that the Miao family's rice noodle business can gain a foothold in the county, one is because of the secret recipe, and the other is because of the master.
Now, someone kindly told Shi Yan a piece of news: "After the shopkeeper of your rice noodle shop ran away, the master was also dug up. The rice noodle shop is busy."
Shi Yan had expected this for a long time, but he still thanked these people.
The group agreed to see each other in three days. Shi Yan bought some condiments, and then took the two children to buy their favorite gadgets in a good mood.
Small wooden swords, small wooden horses, colorful small windmills, small fan pendants, and small sachets are not expensive. They are better than small and compact, and children like them.
The two children stood in front of them and couldn't walk. Xiaobao pointed to several things in front of him with a happy expression, and turned to say to his father, "I want it all!"
Before she could say anything, her sister held her little hand: "No, my grandmother has no money, and neither does my father, so I have to keep the rest for groceries."
In the past, he would not care about what this sister said, but today is different from the past, he has fully realized his father's partiality to his sister, and can only surrender.
Aggrieved Baba admitted that my sister was right, looked at him covetously, then reluctantly hugged his father's thigh, and said listlessly: "Come back, no one likes the young master!"
Shi Yan was not used to his troubles. He picked up the person with one hand and looked at him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you, young master? Do you know that our family is already poor?
You are about to sell the iron and buy rice and noodles. Who are you going to be the young master? Um? "
This kid was quick to admit his mistake, and immediately fluttered his legs and said, "Dad, I'm wrong, I'm not Xiaoye, I'm Xiaobao, I'm Xiaobao!"
Shi Yan used practical actions to tell the two children that with him, obedient children have candy.
Backhand, I bought a set of small wooden yard models for my daughter. The tables, chairs, benches, window carvings, and the little people in the yard are all very delicate, but the materials are ordinary, but it took a couple of minutes. silver.
In order to show that he was not an eccentric father, he bought a small wooden sword for his son. The sword did not even have a pattern on it. It was just ordinary willow wood.
Whether it is quantity or quality, the two are not the same.
Shi Yan felt that what he meant was very obvious, and if he came here a few more times, he would not believe that these two children were obedient.
In the end, Xiaobao acted as if he didn't notice the difference in treatment. Holding Xiaomujian, he ran happily all the way. When he got home, he showed off his sword to the children of Second Aunt Liu's family.
A few boys gathered together in an instant, using the swordsmanship that didn't make sense. For a while, they imagined that they were heroes of the arena, and then they felt that they should be born to be invincible generals. It was a lot of fun.
Looking at A Yun again, I was also very happy and quietly gathered with the little girls from Aunt Liu's house to watch her new toys. Dial where to learn.
"A tael of silver, Daddy said it's not expensive, I like it. If the family has money in the future, I will buy it."
The little girls next to you: "Wow! Your dad is so nice!"
Mrs. Miao doesn't know if Shi Yan is good or not, but now she feels that her heart is blocked and she can't get angry. She has seen a prodigal family, but she has never seen such a prodigal family.
Holding his heart, he said to Aunt Liu, "This family is about to smash the pot and sell iron. How much can a tael of silver be used for? What can't you use it for? His hands are so loose, this family will be finished sooner or later!"
Second Aunt Liu rolled her eyes. It took only a day for her to figure out the Miao family's background. To put it bluntly, this family is now supported by Shi Yan, and Mrs. Miao has more than one copper plate on her body. Can't get it out.
Shi Yan is also giving her wages!
That's it, what's there to complain about?
In the past, it was said that Xu Laowu, the son-in-law who came to the house, looked down on him and used him as a person. Now, looking at it, this son-in-law is the most reliable!
Said how well Feng Lan married, but what's the use of that? Since the Miao family accident, except for the day when Feng Hua was buried, Feng Lanpo's family showed up. Has anyone seen the family since then?
Although she was also worried that the job would not last long, she had already received one month's wages, and she had to do this month's work cleanly and beautifully. Her Second Aunt Liu was not the only one who knew how to take advantage!
So she persuaded old lady Miao: "Old sister, you are a lucky person, don't look at how it is now, people, who can think of what the situation will be like before entering the soil?
Think about it, in the future, when Xiaobao is admitted to the top spot, you will be an old lady with a destiny! In our entire Bai'an County, it is unique! "
Shi Yan didn't care what the two old ladies were dreaming about in the daytime, he brought a small stove out by himself, and the casserole on the stove was steaming hot.
I filled a few buckets of water and put out the condiments I bought one by one, next to the pen and paper, small tables and chairs from the study, and a large pot of rice noodles that I bought from the street and didn't have time to cook.
Shi Yan was frying crispy beans and peanuts in another pot next to him, and there was a big basket of radishes next to him. He was going to pickle pickled radishes himself, and was making mustard.
By the way, sour beans and sauerkraut are also prepared.
These are the must-haves for rice noodles. The Miao family had prepared them because they had done it before, but after Shi Yan tasted the taste, he didn't plan to use it. Those tastes were not what he needed.
Poached eggs, minced garlic, and pork chops all need to be prepared by him. Logically speaking, the time is very tight. Some things, such as the fermentation of sour menu, will take a few days, but he is not in a hurry.
At this time, the benefits of living a long life appeared. He was well-informed and had a unique secret recipe. Although it was not as good as natural fermentation, it was better than nothing.
Overcome the current difficulties first, and take the rest slowly.
When it comes to pickling vegetables, put some seasonings in the pot next to you, and then jot down a few strokes on the paper at will. As for what you write, let alone some people who don’t know the words at the scene, it’s really a literary master. , I don't understand what it means on paper.
A tantalizing aroma soon came out of the pot.
The smell spread to the kitchen at the back, and Mrs. Miao sat on the small bench to help Second Aunt Liu wash and choose the dishes, and she couldn't help sighing when she saw the tossing back of the inkstone in the outside corridor through the door and window, and rambled with Second Aunt Liu: " I can see that this son-in-law of my family has a plan in his heart, but his heart is not directed towards my family.
When Fenghua was there, she didn't think about living with Fenghua, so she didn't try to go to one place.
When the phoenix flower is gone, I don't dare to ask extravagantly.
What do you think our family is so poor? He can still spend money to buy those unpractical and bells and whistles for Kering, and in just one day, the two children have their hearts on him.
For a tael of silver, who would have thought that he would have such money while our master was still there? "
Second Aunt Liu was busy cleaning the pot, only listening with her ears, not speaking. She could tell that this old lady Miao was spoiled by others, and she had no vision at all.
This is to say that Xu Laowu has a scheming, hides private money, and ensnares the two children to alienate her. Can this be said now? Even if it is true, it cannot be said in front of Xu Laowu!
I used to envy this old lady, but now I think it's boring. Anyway, I didn't take her wages, so I opened my mouth and said: "Oh, old sister, what you said is really interesting, the fifth is not short of money, people There is a success.
Wouldn't it be better to leave your grandparents and grandchildren to go outside and marry an obedient and capable girl? You have to drag you old and young, worry-free, why don't you have a clue about it?
Besides, who doesn't know who the people in the whole alley are? In your family, the old man and the fifth are called by the people, and the groom and the groom are squeezed into a room. Entering the house of your Fenghua is just like the story in the play. You have to take a shower and change clothes in advance. Send people away.
You go outside and ask, because of this, Xu Laowu is a complete joke outside!
As long as it's a man, it can't be dealt with!
That's it, do you still want him to be with your family? Go dream! "
Madam Miao was panicked by what she said, she wiped her sleeves and said, "Is that what our family thinks? Is that what we think?
My Fenghua is attracted to the fourth child of his family, Mr. Tong Sheng. He looks good, has a good temperament, can speak, and is very lively. Even if he stops studying in the future, he and Fenghua can support this big family together.
But their family is not authentic. When things came to an end, when they entered the bridal chamber, they discovered that the groom had become such an inferior Xu Laowu!
Big sister, after so many years, my sister is in a panic, tell me, will your family be troubled by this kind of thing? Can you still greet Xu Laowu with a smile? "
To be honest, Second Aunt Liu couldn't think of it, because they have many sons, so they don't have to consider the possibility of recruiting children.
So she cut vegetables in her hand, thinking that she was very fair: "Old sister, you feel your conscience and say, your family's conditions are worthy of being a good parent, a good temperament, and a living master Tongsheng? ?
Do you have a million fortune in your family? Or is there someone in the officialdom who can open the way? Or is the girl in your family beautiful and gentle like water, so that a man can't walk when he sees it?
Not at all!
It's also a good thing for an old man like a man to marry a big girl who is better than your phoenix flower? Your Fenghua is a twenty-year-old girl!
You all went with unrealistic fantasies from the very beginning. Don't blame others for being deceived! It's all because of greed!
Either they made a fuss at that time and asked the Xu family for an explanation. If you endure it, you will have a good life! But your family is so strange, there are so many troubles, except to show everyone a joke.
The young couple is not like the young couple. When the two children grow up in the future, when they hear those rumors, will their faces light up? "
Mrs. Miao was even more blocked by what she said: "After all this said, it's still my family's fault? He Xu family, Xu Lao four and Xu Lao Wu are not wrong at all?"
Second Aunt Liu said in her heart, of course there is something wrong, but now your family is not in trouble, is the family member Xu Laowu in charge? That man was wrong and he was right!
An old lady with a clueless mind, you just talk to me here, in front of Xu Laowu, do you dare to say it? I dare not! It can be seen that you also know the great relationship in your heart!
The corners of Shi Yan's mouth twitched under the outer porch. The two inside didn't know that he had good ears, so they stood here and listened to their conversation clearly. This feeling is not sour and refreshing.
Right now, there are seven little guys squatting next to his small stove, swallowing at the smell of the casserole.
I don't know whose stomach rang first, as if it was contagious, and the sound of gurgling was incessant.
After several children looked at each other, their eyes looking at Shi Yan became more eager, and the most daring little treasure swallowed his saliva and said to Shi Yan, "Dad, it should be delicious in the pot?"
Shi Yan neatly cut the radish into strips for the altar, but did not lift his head when he heard the words: "Tell Grandma Liu, take out the pickled radish from the kitchen, and take a few more bowls..."
Before he finished speaking, he hula-la-la, and in the blink of an eye, a group of children squatting in front of the small stove disappeared, and there were shouts in the yard behind them.
Only Ayun cautiously approached Shi Yan and tugged at his sleeve: "Dad, Ayun already knows that you have no money on you. Next time, let my sister and the others go home to eat."
She was embarrassed to say that, not wanting to make her father feel that she was stingy, she explained in a low voice: "Wait, when our family is rich, please invite my sister and the others to eat."
Shi Yan touched the vegetable in his hand, bent down and touched his daughter's face with his face, and whispered, "It's alright, Daddy can support you all, so don't worry about it!"
The fact is also true. In the past few years, Xu Laowu has hidden a total of 13 taels of private houses, all of which were destroyed by Shi Yan.
Seeing that the children in front of him were satisfied, and even the two old ladies in the backyard couldn't resist tasting a bowl, Shi Yan had confidence in his future business.
However, my two cubs are still young, so they can only taste it briefly, swallowing their saliva to watch other people eat, it is quite miserable, sad and funny.
