Go back to ancient times to engage in sideline business

Hearing movement outside the yard, Tang Zhong glanced at the door.

"Tang Laosan, are you back?"

The bushes on the side of the road rustled, and Tang Zhong called out a few more times before he saw Uncle Tang coming out from behind.

"Come here quickly, let's see what delicious food I brought back!"

Tang Zhong greeted him as if offering a treasure, but Tang Laosan only hurriedly responded twice, bowed his head and walked quickly into the house.

"There's a lot of meat in the kitchen, including smoked duck, bacon, and candied dates. Which one do you want?"

"Hey, don't rush away, you have to wash your hands first when you come back from outside!"

Tang Laosan walked fast, Tang Zhong's hand was even faster, and when his younger brother passed by, he quickly grabbed his arm.

Tang Laosan trembled all over and let out a muffled grunt.

"what happened?"

Tang Zhong hurriedly brought the man in front of him, and pulled up his sleeves without any explanation.

There were not a few taels of flesh hanging on the long and thin arms, but there were bruises and bruises on it, which was shocking to see.

"Who bullied you!"

Tang Zhong was like a rooster with fried feathers, and immediately became furious.

"No, no one, I just fell down accidentally."

Seeing that Tang Laosan was still hanging his head, Tang Zhong raised his elder brother's majesty, almost commanding: "Raise your head!"

Tang Laosan had no choice but to slowly lift his chin.

With red and swollen eye sockets, dark black mouth corners, and bruises on his hands, Tang Zhong couldn't sit still at all.

"Who, are you from Xiangxue, right? A gentleman or a student!"

Uncle Tang, who had been hesitating at first, was surprised to hear the word Xiangxue.

He pursed his lips and said with difficulty: "I was not bullied, I was fighting with someone."

"Really?" Tang Zhong still didn't believe it, and continued to ask: "Who made the first move?"

"I punch first."

Tang Lao San sullenly, as if waiting for punishment, braced himself to accept his brother's reprimand.Unexpectedly, Tang Zhong's face turned from cloudy to sunny, with a little satisfied look on his face.

He breathed a sigh of relief and patted his brother on the back lightly.

"Well, yes, he is a good son of our Tang family."

Tang Laosan was very surprised, "Second brother, don't you blame me for fighting?"

"Why do you blame me? What I'm afraid of most these days is that you will be bullied at home. I thought you were the weakest, but I didn't expect that now you can take the initiative to find someone to fight with. Not bad, follow me!"

Tang Zhong's behavior of protecting the calf at the moment is being seen by Tang Meng.

The little girl bit off the last bit of meat on the duck leg, and silently memorized her brother's teaching: It's okay to be cleaned up by others; it's okay to take the initiative to fight!

Before the boiled water had cooled down, Tang Zhong filled it with a basin and brought it out to give Tang Laosan a hot compress.

He wrung out the hot handkerchief, pressed it lightly on his younger brother's arm, and comforted him in a gentle voice: "It's okay, boys don't fight when they are young. If you fight a few times, you will gain experience."

Seeing Tang Laosan nodding his head half-understood, Tang Zhong seemed to remember something.

"By the way, you picked the head first, but did you win or lose in the end?"

Tang Laosan was stunned, then slowly lowered his head.

"lose..."

"what!"

Tang Zhong was so angry that he threw the handkerchief over the rim of the basin, and stood up awkwardly.

"In other words, you are still being bullied!"

"No, take me to him this afternoon!"

The township school in Fengshan Village is not too far from the Tang family, it is more than two miles away in the direction of Fengguan Town.

The boys in the village who were about the same age as Tang Laosan all went to study in the village school.

Tang Laosan also wanted to study, but he understood the difficulties at home better.In order not to worry his brother, he didn't tell anyone about his thoughts, but during this time, he secretly went to attend classes outside the township school with the children from the same village.

At first, Tang Laosan was just curious and wanted to hear what the school taught.But as the number of visits increased, he gradually became interested in the content of the teacher's lectures.

Around this time, two older children from neighboring villages in the township school set their sights on him and deliberately teased him repeatedly, either by pouring water behind the wall where Tang Laosan was hiding, or by leading him to Xiao Hei where books were piled up. The house is locked.

The two brothers of the Ge family didn't study hard, and used their extra thoughts to figure out how to bully Tang Laosan.

This morning, the Ge family brothers challenged him again, taking what they had learned about Tang Laosan's life experience as an anecdote.

Unbearable, he clenched his fists and rushed over, wrestling with the two of them.

It's a pity that he was young and thin, and he was severely taught two-on-one by the Ge brothers, leaving several bruises on his arms.

At this moment, Tang Laosan was standing on the road that the Ge brothers must pass after school.His thoughts were interrupted by the voice, he looked up to the end of the path, and sure enough he saw two people coming.

"Brother, look ahead, isn't it that undisciplined bastard in Fengshan Village?"

"That's him! Go, grab him!"

Seeing the two brothers approaching quickly, Tang Lao San hurriedly ran up the side hillside.

"You still want to run? Stop!"

The brothers of the Ge family are all a few years older than Tang Laosan, they are much taller, and their legs and feet are naturally more agile.In front of a stone wall shaded by grass and rocks, the two brothers finally blocked the crowd.

The stone wall behind him is like a natural wall, and there is no way to climb it.

Seeing that Tang Laosan was in a panic and was in a dilemma, the Ge brothers became even more arrogant.

"Run, I thought you were so smart! You ran!"

"Brother, don't talk nonsense with him. Tell me, did you go to the husband and sue us?"

Youngest Tang frowned: "What is it like?"

"Still pretending, if it weren't for you, how would the husband know that we had a fight this morning? If you can't fight it, let it be, and go to sue, what a coward!"

"I didn't!" Tang Laosan blushed from the excitement, and decided with a strong neck: "I didn't tell sir! Besides, if it's one-on-one, I may not be able to beat you!"

"Hey, what a big tone! We just like to bully the few with the more, how about it? Don't accept it? You can also find a helper!"

"Oh, I almost forgot, you are a bastard with no father or mother, no one will help you!"

The Ge family brothers said nothing, and soon Tang Laosan was furious, the veins on his forehead were bulging, his eyes were full of anger, and he clenched his fists and stared at the two people opposite him.

"Brother, look at him, he wants to single us out again?"

"Come on, take a look for a while, who is lying on the ground begging for mercy!"

The two laughed even more proudly, pretending to be around their wrists, and approaching step by step.

Tang Laosan was like a red-eyed rabbit, leaning against the stone wall alone, feeling angry in his chest.

The two Ge brothers, on all fours, stepped over a clump of plantain and stepped on a pile of fallen leaves.

There was only crackling and the sound of a branch breaking, and the two brothers fell down in response, followed by two howls like killing pigs.

Tang Zhong emerged from the top of the stone wall and gave a thumbs up to Tang Laosan: Cai Cai's fishing skills are very stable, and he didn't slip through at all.

Tang Laosan quietly turned his head, secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and took a deep breath to adjust his mood.

Tang Zhong came around in a big circle, covered his face with a palm leaf, and quietly approached the pit to see what was going on below.

I saw that the Ge brothers were not missing an arm or a leg, but were struggling crookedly at the bottom of the pit, yelling and cursing.

The pit was dug by Tang Zhongxian, it was as high as a person and a half, and these two boys couldn't climb out.

At the bottom of the pit was a puddle of yellow mud. Tang Zhong had just recovered, and he added a lot of cow dung and chicken dung into it, just to kill the arrogance of the Ge brothers.

Worried about getting caught, Tang Zhong only glanced at it, then quickly retracted his neck, came back and lowered his voice and said to his younger brother: "How is it? Brother, I gave you a bad breath! We brothers teamed up to clean up the two of them, two against two, it's fair. "

"Yeah!" Uncle Tang nodded vigorously, looking at his brother, his eyes were finally no longer the sensible one he had forced himself to be before, but a little more, the sense of dependence that a child of this age should have.

Tang Zhong's heart was touched. At this moment, he finally looked like an older brother.

"Listen, if you encounter an opponent with a disparity in power in the future, don't be tough. It's better to be like me, attack from behind and attack quietly..."

Tang Zhong clasped his younger brother's shoulders and carefully taught him the fighting skills he had learned over the years.

In the end, hearing the yelling and cursing at the bottom of the pit gradually subsided, and guessing that the energy of the two boys was almost exhausted, he arranged for Tang Laosan: "Go to the edge of the pit later, pretend to be very surprised , "Oh, why did you fall? Wait, I'll find someone right away", pretending to be innocent, understand? "

Seeing Tang Zhong's unbeaten face, Tang Laosan unconsciously shrunk his mouth.

"This is called a tactic. Later, we have to find someone to go to their village to talk. Now let them reflect on it in the pit. Remember, as long as we don't reveal the truth, we can successfully confuse..."

"Bad guy! My second brother is back to deal with you, let's see how you bully people! Bad guy!"

The familiar girl's voice came from behind, Tang Zhong hurriedly turned his head, and saw Tang Meng pinching his nose, throwing a small stone into the pit while still muttering.

When did she follow here!

Tang Meng's cheeks bulged with anger, he threw the small stone in his hand, and squatted down to pick it up again.The ground under her feet was uneven, and she staggered a little when she got up.

"Little ancestor!"

Tang Zhongsheng was afraid that his younger sister would also fall into it, so he didn't care too much, so he hurried over to take her away.

"I know her! She's the girl of the bastard!"

"He is the older brother of the Tang family outside!"

"Okay! The whole family dug a hole against us! You surnamed Tang wait, as long as we come out, let my father, mother and uncle come over to clean up you!"

Tang Zhong held Tang Meng in his arms, buried his head and gestured to Tang Laosan: "Go quickly! Come on!"

"Don't run!"

"Countless! If you have the ability to pull us up to one-on-one!"

Amidst the shouts and curses of the Ge brothers, the three brothers and sisters ran down the slope in a hurry...

Fearing that the Ge family would come to cause trouble, the brothers and sisters of the Tang family simply moved all the New Year's goods to Aunt Gu's house.

After the last trip, the three brothers and sisters sat together on the steps of the small courtyard of the Gu family, gasping for breath.

A large area of ​​Tang Zhong's sleeves was frayed, and the cloth scarf on his arm fell apart at some point, revealing a scratch inside.

Uncle Tang's arms were uncomfortable, hanging low on his chest.

Tang Meng next to him raised the two red marks on his face, quite proudly.

The three brothers and sisters looked at each other, seeing each other's distressed appearance, they couldn't help laughing at the same time.

"What are you smirking outside? Hurry up and eat in the house! Big girl, hurry up and tell everyone to come in for dinner."

Aunt Gu's gentle voice came from the room, along with the warm smell of the food.

The night fell slowly, and on the opposite hill, some family couldn't wait to watch the New Year's Eve, so they lit a firework first.

Sparks soared into the sky, bloomed brilliantly, and bloomed a gorgeous brilliance.

Tang Zhong stretched out his arms, embraced the siblings beside him, and said softly: "Let's go to eat the New Year's Eve dinner!"

"Let's eat!" Tang Biao sat at his feet and followed suit, raising his head and smiling warmly at his brothers and sisters.

Tang Zhong held the little girl in his arms, held her up high and spun around.

The little girl was so teased that she giggled, her soft voice echoed softly in the small farmyard under the night.

The author has something to say:

I wanted to synchronize the New Year's time in the book with the three-dimensional, but the men in Yangjia Village worked so hard that the square was built in two chapters.

Today is the New Year in the North, and I would like to wish you all a happy New Year in advance. I wish you all a happy new year. 2022 will be full of vigor and prosperity, and your wishes will come true!
