C78 A Messy Tang Er

Closing the door, the two of them sat around the brazier, eating peanut and melon seeds while watching the Spring Festival Gala. The Qiuqiu occupied Ye Zi's knees, while the wolf cub laid on the side, swinging its tail from time to time.
The atmosphere in the Wang Family was a little strange. Wang Guoxin wanted to talk to his eldest son, but who knew that only his youngest son would be able to enter, so he asked: "Where's your elder brother?"
"Big Brother saw me to the door, then turned around and left for Ye Family." Wang Shijun said in a strange tone.
"Look at this crazy plaything, aren't you afraid that your new clothes will be splattered with sparks and burn a hole? Take it off so Mom can see it. Your family also bought some fireworks for you and we'll see it when we get back. Besides, there will be a special fireworks party that night in the provincial capital, so Mom will take you to see it for yourself. Don't do this again."
Wang Guoxin didn't think much of it in the past, but now he's a bit angry when he heard this. He clearly saw his youngest son playing happily with the other children in the village: "Xiao Jun, why are you stopping him? Who wouldn't like to play with such a young boy? Even if Little Jun had grown up in the city, his roots would still be in Taoyuan Village. He would return to his hometown during the winter and summer months, so as to avoid having to forget about the roots of Taoyuan Village. "
Luo Fengjuan was stunned. This was the first time a man disagreed with her about teaching his son.
She was also from the countryside like Wang Guoxin. Initially, she had suffered enough to be looked down upon by the people of the city, so after giving birth to her son, she was determined to teach him to be gentle and gentle.
"What about Little Jun's class?" Luo Fengjuan subconsciously objected. Not only did she have strict requirements for her son's studies, she had even signed up for a piano and calligraphy class for him. She would not give up just like the children in the city, and she would even do better.
"His brother didn't take any tutoring classes with his father, so he's still alive and well. I have the final say in this!" Luo Fengjuan's objection was cut off by that sentence. Wang Guoxin didn't even look at her expression as he turned around and left for the two elders' room.
Luo Fengjuan held her son back. "Tell Mom, who did your dad talk to next door? What did they say? " The first thing she suspected was that someone said something to Wang Guoxin that would cause his attitude to change drastically. Previously, he was also proud that his son was not worse than the kids in the city, there must be a reason.
When Wang Shijun heard her father say that she didn't need to attend the cram school, she was quite excited. But when she heard her mother's question, she cautiously said, "I played with my big brother. I didn't see him. Why did he come back so early? He didn't even wait for me." It was his big brother who sent him back, and he didn't say a single word along the way. This made him very depressed.
"If you only know how to play crazily, what can you learn from playing with a country bumpkin? Or do you want to become as useless as them and your big brother? " Luo Fengjuan was so angry that she forgot to cover up. Coincidentally, Wang Guoxin, who was about to go back and pour her a cup of water, heard her and his face darkened.
When the door was pushed open, Luo Fengjuan raised her head and saw the dark expression of her man. She thought to herself, "Hubby, I didn't mean it that way …"
"Then what do you mean? I never thought that you would actually look down on Jie. No matter what, he is still my son! " He turned around and left with big steps. His mind was in a mess and he didn't want to hear his wife's explanation. His wife, who always showed concern for his eldest son, actually thought his eldest son was useless? To sow discord between the feelings of his two sons? Did his youngest son look down on his brother the same as his mother when he grew up?
How could the old couple who had entered the room early not have heard the commotion outside? The young couple had always been on good terms with each other, so how could they have gotten into an argument on New Year's Eve?
"Old man, what do you think happened to Guoxin and his wife? Sigh, once they return, Jie would no longer be willing to stay at home. It's good that they went to the Ye Family. " Since her son couldn't say anything, Grandma Wang blamed her daughter-in-law. If it wasn't for her being a stepmother, eldest grandson wouldn't have gone to someone else's house on New Year's Eve and wouldn't have been able to live for even a year.
Grandpa Wang was too lazy to care about it: "What are you worrying about, it's not normal for the couple to quarrel for the rest of the day. You also said that Jie went to Ye Family, not another family, don't worry." Grandpa Wang's heart was thumping hard. "Sleep early. Tomorrow, your daughter and son-in-law will be coming over. You're busy."
Even though their daughter was married off, their son was working outside, and the daughter he married out of the family all year round took care of them.
Wang Shujie was completely unaware of the family's situation. He watched the skit on TV laughing without a care in the world as he threw the melon seeds into his mouth.
Ye Zi, who was peeling the melon seeds, placed them on a small plate in front of his grandfather, and also gave him many calls from his classmates. Ye Zi, who was peeling the melon seeds, put them on a small plate in front of his grandfather, and also gave many calls from his classmates.
Meng Qun also called. He was a foreigner that was out of G city, so he didn't stay with his friends in G city for the new year. With Ye Zi's help, he treated Ye Zi as a friend of the same age.
Ye Zi and his grandpa did not have the habit of guarding the year. In the past, it was because he was too young, but now, his grandpa was unable to hold on because he was too old, so Ye Zi advised his grandpa to go to bed first after seeing that it was almost time.
Ye Wenbo smiled as he went to wash his face and brush his teeth. Before going to bed, he didn't forget to remind his grandson to set off the firecrackers after midnight. Although they were not keeping watch, they still had to fire firecrackers when the new year arrived.
Ye Zi brought the coal stove into the hall to boil medicine, because tonight Wang Shujie also needs to have a medicinal bath. The latter did not protest. Although the medicinal bath at the beginning felt like torture, but after the first two times, they would go up the mountain to practice. It was very obvious that they felt something different.
Not long after, Wang Shujie went into the barrel naked. The inside of the barrel was steaming hot and the color of the liquid was black, but it was emitting a sweet smell. Wang Shujie thought the effect was good, how would he know that Ye Zi had added Spirit Accumulating Fluid.
Just as Wang Shujie was grimacing while watching TV, the phone rang again. With just one ring, Ye Zi quickly picked it up.
"Big Brother Tang?!" Ye Zi exclaimed in surprise. Previously, they had been in contact with each other through text message, so this call was a little unexpected.
Tang Lingqiu turned around and looked at his family sitting downstairs. He walked to the balcony and opened the window. I didn't expect Big Brother Tang to give you a call. "
"Yeah." Ye Zi replied honestly.
Tang Lingqiu was a bit exasperated. He said without a conscience, "Are you watching TV?" He heard the TV on the side, but the volume had been turned down. "You didn't go out to play?"
Ye Zi looked at Wang Shujie, who silently accused him after the television set's voice was turned down, and turned around to ignore him, "On TV, there's fireworks in front. I bought quite a few this year, and besides, we have to eat New Year's Eve meals together in the village. There's nowhere else to go. "Some people play mahjong all night long or something, but …"
As he said that, he looked back at Wang Shujie, who was soaking in the bucket, and couldn't help but laugh.
Tang Lingqiu felt that he had also become silly, there was no place to play in Taoyuan Village.
When he realized that his feelings for Ye Zi were a bit strange in the afternoon, he didn't even spend much time to ponder about it. He decided to follow his intentions and put the person beside him to see how far he could persevere, not to reduce the number of contacts to calm him down first, and then to consider whether or not he should challenge the whole concept of the world.
After making his decision, it was impossible for him to just send a text message on New Year's Eve. Furthermore, from his point of view, he really wanted to hear Ye-zi's voice and ignore his stupidity. Thus, Ye-zi asked, "But what? Is there no one here? " The mahjong was the national treasure, and their family's first aunt also had a few handfuls of it in her spare time, so there was already a trap going on downstairs.
Ye Zi held back his laughter, "Shujie is taking a medicinal bath by the side." As soon as he saw it, he couldn't help but laugh. His head was completely red from the smoke, and it floated on the surface of the water. He buried his body in the water, making his head seem bigger than usual.
"Hey, hey Ye-zi, you can't degrade my image like this in front of Big Brother Tang." Wang Shujie, who was being laughed at, shouted as he carried a towel.
Ye Zi waved at Wang Shujie to tell him not to make a ruckus. He didn't seem to know that Tang Lingqiu was feeling bad after hearing Wang Shujie's words, so he raised his voice and asked, "Bathing in a medicinal bath?" What's the difference between that and watching a person take a bath? "He didn't let Ye Zi see everything, yet he was the first to be taken turns by someone else's man?" Why isn't he coming home to your house on New Year's Eve? Can't he take a bath at home?
"Ugh …" Ye Zi found that he had found a problem, and this problem was too complicated to explain. He tried saying, "Because I fried the solution for the bath, I have persisted for a few days and can't stop. Otherwise, the effect would be much worse. "Big Brother Tang, what's that noise over there?" Ye Zi heard the strange chattering.
Tang Lingqiu's whole body froze. He looked up and saw that he was about to dig a hole in the wall with his fingers. Suddenly, he wanted to hit the wall. He twitched his mouth and said: "It's okay, I just slipped away like a mouse."
"Big Brother Tang's family still has mice?" Ye Zi said in surprise. This was a miracle in the world.
Tang Lingqiu once again twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Perhaps I was mistaken." What a stroke. He shook his head to calm himself down, frowned and said, "What medicine bath are you bathing in? Was there something wrong with stupid big guy's body? "
Ye Zi carefully glanced at Wang Shujie, who was grimacing in pain, and decided not to tell him what Big Brother Tang called him. Perhaps next time, he should correct Big Brother Tang and explain: "It's not a problem, it's a type of body strengthening. It's good for the body."
Tang Lingqiu's nerves finally went back on track. "Body strengthening? Which Chinese doctor opened it? Trusted? "Ye Zi, you didn't do it randomly, right?" Let stupid big guy test first.
"No," Ye Zi said in a low voice while scratching his head, "This matter is rather troublesome to explain. I've soaked in it before, and it really has the effect of strengthening my body, my strength has become very strong now. How about you come and see for yourself next time, Big Brother Tang?"
"Fine, I'll go take a look in two days. Ye-zi, if there's anything else, don't try it on yourself, okay?" Tang Lingqiu warned him seriously.
"Got it." How could Tang Lingqiu not hear it? He quickly hung up and then dialed Zhang Rui's cell phone, telling him to book a plane ticket as soon as possible. Zhang Rui thought Tang Lingqiu was crazy, it was the new year and he couldn't let people have peace.
Ye Zi curiously put down the receiver. Wang Shujie moved in the barrel and heard the sound of water. He rested his chin on the edge of the barrel and asked with concern, "Can you tell this to that surnamed Tang?" Seeing that the old man didn't want to teach him martial arts, Ye Zichen knew that the things Ye Zichen taught him were very valuable. Only Ye Wen didn't hide anything from him, so Ye Wen felt that he should be more careful.
"I'll give you some more hot water. Be careful not to burn it." Ye Zi added some boiling water into the barrel, tested the temperature with his hand, and only stopped when he reached the requirements. He sat back on the stool and said, "I know what you mean, but Big Brother Tang doesn't have to worry. Oh right, what's the surname Tang? That's what you call Big Brother Tang behind his back?"
What's going on between Big Brother Tang and Shujie? Why are there signs of differences?
The water was hot, Wang Shujie scratched his chin and said in confusion, "I don't know, I just don't like the way you, Big Brother Tang, looks at me. Haha, Ye, do you think that it's because you, Big Brother Tang, are jealous that I am closer to you than to him? It's useless for him to be jealous. Who told me to grow up together with you, Ye-zi?
What the heck? Ye Zi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Shujie must have played house as a child.
"What else do you think it is, Ye-zi?" Wang Shujie said proudly.
Ye Zi felt that he couldn't speak properly, he glared at the old man and returned to the main topic, "Actually, I know that these things are important, but because they are important, they can't be controlled by just the two of us. Who knows if there are stronger people outside, I think it's very important to find some time to meet that old man and see if he's really a martial artist like you said."
"You should know that Big Brother Tang's identity is not ordinary. With someone like Big Brother Tang as a shield, he is more reliable than anyone else. I …" I believe in Big Brother Tang. "
He could not explain this matter clearly, but he chose to use his intuition, and even if he did believe it, he would selectively release some things. Even towards Wang Shujie, he had only revealed his intentions, and with the entire Immortal Cauldron Sect as a precedent, he would not drag himself, his grandfather, and those close to him, onto the road of destruction.
After Sun Family stole his jade pendant in his previous life, did that mean that the aristocratic families in B City were in contact with the cultivation world, and so what of Tang Family? If the current Tang Family and Big Brother Tang did not understand this aspect of the situation, how much would they know? At present, Ye Zi could only carefully extend out his claws to probe.
Wang Shujie felt that he was not smart enough, and Leaves thought more than him, and also thought more thoroughly, "Alright, I will follow …" "Big Brother Tang, get along well, and you'll teach me well. If anything happens in the future, I'll stand in front to protect you." As he spoke, he encouraged himself.
Ye Zi smiled easily.
The next morning, he pushed open the door to the courtyard. The ground was covered in a white mist, which had covered all the broken pieces of the firecrackers from the night before. When he let go of the firecrackers, the red paper scattered on the white snow.
Ye Wenbo got up to make breakfast, while Ye Zi and Wang Shujie went to practice Phoenix-tail Mountain together.
Wang Guoxin went to the Lin family to chat with Lin Haiming last night and found out from others what kind of person their eldest son was. In the eyes of others, their naughty eldest son was actually a good young man, although his grades were not good, at least he attended high school. In this village, some people didn't even get into high school, and in Taoyuan Village, graduating from high school was already a very good education.
The eldest son was very filial to the old man and would help him with his work. In the village, whoever was involved in something would help the old man, and in the eyes of the rural people, it was not a big problem at all.
In Lin Haiming's mouth, his eldest son was a very sensible and good kid. When others bullied Ye Zi, his eldest son would rush up to protect Ye Zi. He was such a good kid, and was much better than those bullies like Zhou Tie.
Lin Haiming had a drink with him, so he drank a little too much and said: "You little brat, I thought that after you stayed in the city for too long, you would become as contemptuous as the people in the city. Some of the people in the city just look down on people with dog eyes, what's wrong with us in the countryside? Did he steal it or was he lying? In the past, my good brother Ye Qin beat all the other people in the city, and now you, Wang Guoxin, also go into the city and earn money from the people in the city. Ye Qin's son is also good, he's as smart as his father, but in the future when he enters the best university in China, he will give us face with his Taoyuan Village. Wang Guoxin, if you f * cking forget that you are a member of Taoyuan Village, then laozi will not recognize you as a brother! "
Lin Haiming was drunk and his eyes were red. He dragged Wang Guoxin by his collar and forced him to tell him the truth. In the end, it was Bao Lili who ran in and cursed him and made him embarrass himself by rolling down for tea and waking him up.
After Bao Lili chased her man out to sober up, she turned around and said to Wang Guoxin, "Don't listen to his blabbering. Who doesn't want to be a citizen of the city these days? Even I, Bao Lili, despise this land."
It was as if Bao Lili was pointing at his nose and scolding him. He, Wang Guoxin, was the kind of man Bao Lili spoke of. Once he entered the city, he forgot his roots and looked down on his own parents.
Bao Lili turned around and grabbed her man's ear, "I told you to drink and speak nonsense, is Wang Guoxin the same kind of person as Ye Qin? A person who could leave his own mother and son in the village, why are you blabbering so much to him? "Even if I wake him up from his scolding and turn around and get seduced by his wife, I would have to turn around and scold you, Lin Haiming, for being nosy."
"Don't, my ears are hurting, I was wrong, alright? Wife, quickly let go. " Lin Haiming screamed and begged for mercy. His youngest son ran over and laughed at his father.
