Husband and Father Youwei

On the other side, Ruan Tang went straight to the kitchen after arriving at Tu's house.At this time, the kitchen was empty, but there was a pile of dirty dishes waiting to be washed in the big wooden bucket next to the stove.

Ruan Tang only glanced around, walked to the stove, and then lifted the lid of the pot, but he couldn't help frowning when he looked inside. He saw the brown rice in the big pot on the stove. There was not much left, and even the half-baked crispy rice would not be enough to fill a bowl, let alone the three of them, even he himself might not have enough to eat.

But Ruan Tang only sighed, and took out the brown rice with a wooden spatula.He didn't intend to argue with Father Tu, Mrs. Li, or other Tu family members, because that would be useless.

Tiger poison doesn't eat its offspring, Father Tu may not be able to starve his parents to death, but Mrs. Li takes care of the Tu family's three meals a day, so it is only natural to treat Tu Lin harshly.It's just that Li's superficial skills are very good, and Father Tu has always ignored the daily necessities of the family, so he can't see anything, let alone he doesn't care much about his stupid eldest son.

And although I can tell Father Tu about Li's behavior, as long as Li says something negligent, Father Tu will naturally trust Li more than he is an outsider. If he talks too much, he will instead slander his elders and cause trouble Finally, he was reprimanded by Tu Fu.

This is something he has understood shortly after the death of Tu Lin's grandmother. If it weren't for this, he would not have accepted the money that Tu Xinmei gave him in private, and sold firewood or wild herbs, as well as the occasional prey he caught. And never sent it to the Tu family.

Fortunately, I caught a pheasant today. Although the food is a bit small, I won't be hungry again. And thinking of what Tu Lin said to him before he came, Ruan Tang pursed his lips and looked at the food in his hand. There was a bowl full of brown rice, and he looked at the rice vat in the corner, the hesitation in his eyes slowly dissipated...

Back at the old house, Tu Lin happened to be drying the cleaned wet clothes. Ruan Tang was a little surprised, but seeing Tu Lin's casual and natural look, he didn't say anything. Instead, Tu Lin asked him: "Take it ?"

Ruan Tang nodded, and then lifted the cloth covering the bamboo basket, allowing Tu Lin to see the inside of the basket.I saw that the bamboo basket was filled to the brim. In addition to a bowl of black and white brown rice and six buns, there was also a bag of raw rice, a dozen eggs and a piece of bacon.

Since Ruan Tang came to Tu's house, no matter whether he used to live in Tu's house or later moved to the old house, no matter how hungry or difficult he was, he never took anything from Tu's house privately.But before he went to the Tu's house to get dinner today, Tu Lin asked him to bring back some rice, noodles, meat and eggs from the Tu's house.

Ruan Tang naturally refused at first, his upbringing prevented him from doing such a thing like stealing, but Tu Lin told him that several acres of the Tu family's fields were Tu Lin's mother's dowry. Naturally it belongs to Tu Lin, and he is the one who cultivates these fields, and he harvests the grain that grows, so these grains should belong to Tu Lin and him, since they take their own things, How can it be considered stealing?Moreover, Ruan Tang feeds the chickens and pigs at home, no one in the entire Tu family is more qualified to eat these than him, and there is nothing wrong with taking some.

Although Ruan Tang faintly felt that something was wrong, he also felt that what Tu Lin said made sense, so he agreed.It's just that when I got to the Tu family, I still hesitated to take food from the kitchen without telling the Tu family, but when I saw the brown rice left by the Tu family for the three of them in the cauldron, I felt so relieved. A little bit of hesitation dissipated in an instant.

After finishing the meal, he took out the cloth bag he brought and filled half a bag of rice weighing more than three catties from the rice tank. He also took a few buns, and finally took a strip of bacon from the beam.After placing the bacon, the bamboo basket was too full to hold anything, so Ruan Tang left Tu's house and returned to the old house with a much heavier basket than before.

Seeing that Ruan Tang's trip was fruitful, Tu Lin couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Ruan Tang, "I have chicken today, save the eggs and bacon for later."

Ruan Tang thought the same way, so naturally he had no objection, just as Tu Lin had finished drying his clothes, they entered the house together.

The chicken soup on the stove has been simmering for more than an hour. The aroma of the very fragrant chicken soup, which was already smelling outside, suddenly became richer and thicker when it entered the room. The hunger in the middle is also stronger.

"Uncle Ruan, Dad, can I eat it?" Tu An was also too greedy, and asked while looking at the two of them.

Ruan Tang rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Go and wash your hands, you can eat after washing."

Tu An immediately ran to the bucket outside the house to scoop up water to wash his hands.Ruan Tang carried the basket into the house to set the meal, while Tu Lin went to extinguish the fire in the stove, then found a rag to hold the earthen pot of stewed pheasant into the east room.

In the room, Ruan Tang had already set up the bowls and chopsticks, and he put the bowl of brown rice mixed with a lot of sticky crusts in front of him. Tu Lin and Tu An each had a big steamed stuffed bun in their bowl, and the other four steamed stuffed buns were also placed in the bowl. Put it in a large bowl closer to Tu Lin and Tu An.

Tu Lin put the crock pot in the middle of the table, and then smiled and said to Ruan Tang, "I like brown rice too, share half with me." After speaking, Ruan Tang picked up his bowl without waiting for a reaction. He put half of the brown rice inside into his own bowl, then took another bun and put it into Ruan Tang's bowl.

Ruan Tang couldn't stop him, and just as he was about to say something, Tu An came in, and after Tu Lin finished speaking, he sat down and started eating, as if he didn't want to pay attention to him, so Ruan Tang had no choice but to swallow what he wanted to say, and sat down.

Because there is no knife at home, the whole pheasant is stewed in an earthen pot, but the pheasant is very fresh and stewed, and after more than an hour of stewing, the bone is crispy and the meat is rotten, which makes Ruan Tang very upset He easily removed a chicken leg and put it in Tu An's bowl.He originally planned to give the other chicken leg to Tu Lin, but he didn't expect Tu Lin to put the chicken leg in his bowl before he could, and he only took a chicken wing.

Ruan Tang was not a hypocritical person, and he didn't want to disappoint Tu Lin's kindness, so he didn't return the chicken leg to Tu Lin, but just picked up a large piece of chicken breast from the earthen pot and put it in Tu Lin's bowl.Although it is not as good as chicken legs, it is the second best meat in the whole chicken after chicken legs. Tu Lin didn't refuse, and took the meat with a bowl while smiling.

A chicken has lost two legs and breasts, so there is not much meat left. Two adults and a child can quickly eat only three small piles of broken chicken bones, but this It's not enough to be full.Fortunately, there are steamed buns, and Ruan Tang added a lot of wild mushrooms and fungus to it when stewing the chicken, soaking up the rich and delicious chicken juice, and the taste is also very good.

Finally, the three of them finally put down their chopsticks after the mushrooms and fungus in the crock were cleaned up, and the chicken soup was divided into two bowls for each person.Tu An was hiccupping after eating, and Ruan Tang's face rarely showed satiety. Tu Lin's appetite was bigger than Ruan Tang's, but he was only [-]-[-]% full, but eating too much for dinner tends to accumulate food It's not good for sleep, so that's enough, so even though there are three buns left, he didn't eat any more.

Because there are no sleeping candles, lamp oil and other lighting things at home, Ruan Tang and the others usually eat while the sky is still bright, and after eating, they clean up. After washing, it will be dark, and it is time to go to bed.

It's just that tonight, because of Tu Lin's help, after everything was packed and the three of them washed up, the sun had just completely set, and it would be a while before it was completely dark.

Although it is rare to be free, Ruan Tang is a person who can't be idle.Tu An's body is growing now, and the clothes he wears don't fit him almost every few months.Although the children in the country are not so particular, but now the weather is getting colder and colder, and clothes that don't fit well can easily catch cold, so he plans to change Tu An's smaller clothes while there is still some light.

It was only when he took out the clothes and needles and threads from the wooden box in the corner of the room, that Tu Lin suddenly said to him: "Changing the clothes tomorrow, the room is too dark, it is not good for the eyes, and there is something I want to talk to you about." Said, I also want to discuss with you."

Ruan Tang looked up, saw Tu Lin's serious expression, paused for a moment, then obediently put down the clothes and needlework in his hand, then walked to the table and sat down, and asked Tu Lin who was sitting opposite him: "What's the matter? "

Tu Lin didn't make any preparations. He looked into Ruan Tang's eyes and said directly, "I plan to separate the family. What do you think?"

"Separation!?" Tu Lin said calmly and naturally, but Ruan Tang's eyes widened a little from the word "separation" in his words, and his face was full of surprise and bewilderment, " Why did you say this suddenly?"

Tu Lin smiled helplessly and bitterly, his tone was a little lower, and he said with a bit of self-deprecation: "Although we haven't separated from our family yet, what is the difference from a separated family? We can’t be accommodated anymore, since that’s the case, why don’t we just separate out, at least our family will be able to have enough to eat, and you will be able to work less, at least you don’t have to run around every day.”

Ruan Tang could tell that Tu Lin felt sorry for the Tu family, and even complained, but he could understand it.After all, the Tu family's actions are unkind. Even if he is an outsider, he thinks that the Tu family's behavior is too much, and he is very dissatisfied with the Tu family in his heart, let alone Tu Lin, who once gave his heart to his parents and siblings.

But after all, he is an outsider and a junior, so there is nothing for him to say about the Tu family's affairs.Also because of this, he never thought about dividing the family before, but when Tu Lin said this today, he thought about it carefully and thought it was not bad.
