"Tian Sanlang, if you're leaving here for a while, can you still buy pastries over there?"

Tian Sanlang said: "Go ahead, if you have anything to do, just tell Mr. Xiong."

Tang Shou said with a smile: "Then please Tian Sanlang help me to bring this can of soybean oil, and send a message to Aniang and the others, saying that there is something important to discuss here, please come over after they are busy."

"On this matter, don't worry, I will definitely bring it."

Tang Shou sat on Xiong Zhuangshan's newly-made small bench, dangling and thinking about things. The family conditions were too bad. After earning so much money, there was not enough to do anything. Xiong Zhuangshan was still so edible, he was nothing but a fool.

Just as he was thinking of Xiong Zhuangshan, that man's big face appeared on Tang Shou's head.

What he was carrying fell to the ground, "Fu Lang, look, this is the chair you're talking about?"

On the ground, according to Tang Shou's description, Xiong Zhuangshan actually made a chair of later generations. The style is exactly the same except for the beautiful patterns and gorgeous paint.

The house is full of low stools, and Tang Shou does not feel comfortable sitting and doing anything.

Tang Shou's eyes were bright, he walked around the chair, sat on it and tried it out, it was firm and wide enough, and his back leaned on it very well.

"Xiong Fulang, how do you replace your soybean oil with soybeans?" Chen Silang asked with a smile while carrying a small half bag of soybeans.

Tang Shou was wearing a little wolf leather vest, sitting on a chair newly made by Xiong Zhuangshan, with the wild goat skin mattress underneath, which can be said to be quite comfortable.Chen Silang looked enviously.

Tang Shou shook his head and said, "My family has enough soybeans for the time being, and we don't accept soybeans. If you want soybean oil, you have to buy it with copper coins. It costs two cents for a big bowl."

The man waiting in line behind to change the soybean oil said: "Chen Si, you have made a lot of money from the Xiong family recently. Mr. Xiong Fulang said early on that soybean oil has to be bought with money, and you even brought beans in exchange. You are too tight!"

Chen Si wasn't annoyed, and Xiong Zhuangshan was watching over him, but he didn't dare to entangle him, so he took out two pennies and a big bowl and handed them to Tang Shou.Originally, he didn't plan to get it in exchange, but he just wanted to try it. After all, there were plenty of beans at home, and he couldn't eat it all at once, and his stomach would swell if he ate too much.

Generally, when villagers come, they bring big bowls, but no matter how big they are, Tang Shou will only give them oil according to the size of his own bowl.

Chen Si took the bowl and looked at it. It was not full, and there was a rim as thick as a finger. He didn't say anything else, and left with the bag on his shoulders.Xiong's family doesn't want soybeans, he can get them from Luo's family. Luo's family needs a lot of soybeans to make tofu.

"Xiong Fulang, bring me two bowls for four Wen."

"Ok."

At this time, those who come here are usually for soybean oil, and those who buy pastries come early, and they have to rush to the town to sell them.After sending these two away, the house was clean. Tang Shou sat on a chair and watched Xiong Zhuangshan make things leisurely.

Xiong Zhuangshan looked like a rather rough guy, but he was deft at doing woodwork.Tang Shou said that there were not enough steamers at home, so he made a lot of them. The handles of the steamers were afraid of scalding him.Tang Shou asked for a rice shovel, so he ordered three or four for him. Tang Shou did not need to order the others. He made some chopsticks and wooden spoons, which were very delicate and engraved with some patterns. It looks good too.

"I also want a counter."

Xiong Zhuangshan stopped what he was doing, raised his head and asked, "What kind?"

Tang Shou gestured to his chest, "It's about this high, three steps wide, a board this high, and four layers, so that our things can be placed on it, and customers can just point to what they want. It's cold now, so that's it. , when the weather gets warmer, we will expand a main room outside the kitchen, separated from our own living room. It will be convenient for people who come to buy goods only in the hall outside the hall, so you don’t have to come into our room at will and see everything , no privacy."

Xiong Zhuangshan didn't understand what privacy meant, but he could roughly guess that what he liked most was Tang Shou's tone of voice, saying it was the coming year, but it sounded like a longer future.His heart was warm and full of energy, "Okay, I'll make it when the frost thaws next spring."

"At that time, there will be fire walls and geothermal heat."

"Fire wall and geothermal heat? If you know how to do it, tell me, and I'll do it. If you don't just hear about me, then ask again. It's just that you've never heard of these two before. You've only heard of the earth dragon, that thing. There are many noble families."

"I don't know the details, but I read the reports, no, I read the drawings, so I probably know."

"That's fine, you can probably make it if you tell me."

While the two were talking, Mother Xiong's family rushed over after finishing their work. Although they didn't know why Tang Shou came to them, Mother Xiong's family still attached great importance to Tang Shou. After all, his family now relied on Tang Shou for all their craftsmanship.

Even Mother Xiong became more polite when speaking to Tang Shou, "Xiao Shou, what's the matter with you asking us to come?"

Xiao... Xiaoshou?

He was suppressed, so should he be called Xiaoshou in an open and honest manner?

"Don't call me that!" It's too insulting, he's a straight man, a straight man! Tang Shou roared, and everyone looked at each other, especially the mother Xiong who was blushing at the yelling. She just wanted to please her second son's husband, so she couldn't help thinking The call should be more kind, the second son, Fu Lang, just yelled at her like that, and Mother Xiong only felt aggrieved.

After Tang Shou shouted, he realized something was wrong, and quickly waved his hands, "No, I'm sorry, that's not what it meant. That's right, in my hometown, the word Xiaoshou is extremely disrespectful to men, similar to, similar to... ...the feeling of treating a man as a woman. I was excited for a while, and I didn't mean it." Tang Shou is very sensitive to homosexuality, because of his name, many classmates jokingly call him Xiaoshou, which he hates and rejects.

It has been explained many times that the longevity in his name is actually fat and thin.His parents are very fat, about three hundred catties, and they are of the type that no matter how much they lose weight, they will still be fat even if they only drink water.Later, he gave birth to his elder brother, who was a big fat man from birth. He never knew what it was like to be thin, and he was ridiculed a lot.

Tang Shou was an accidental pregnancy by Tang's mother. When she found out, she couldn't do it anymore, so she had to give birth.But the two mothers were very worried that the second child in their stomach would inherit their fat physique, so they burned incense and prayed to Buddha.When choosing the name, it was for the sake of auspiciousness, and he directly named his son Shou, hoping that someone capable of living up to his name would live up to it.Later, the husband and wife felt that it was too uneducated to directly call thin, so it was better to change it to Shou, which has the same pronunciation and different words, and it can also mean longevity, so it became Tang Shou.

Tang Shou lived up to expectations. He was born with a thin and slender figure, and he didn't know what it was like to be fat.

His brother was so angry that he almost didn't add a thin word to his name.

"Oh, no...it's okay." Although Mother Xiong felt awkward, she could see that Tang Shou really didn't mean it.

"Aniang, I'm sorry, my husband didn't mean it. Please don't take it to heart. You should call him Erlang Fulang in the future. Since Xiao Shou is scolding, don't say it anymore."

"I see." Mother Bear said sullenly.

Anyone who has been teased maliciously by Xiao Shou since he was in junior high school will have some shadows in his heart, but he is indeed too aggressive.The apology has already been said, Tang Shou couldn't think of other remedial measures for a while, so he said: "Mother and father, I called you here this time to talk to you about the craftsmanship of walnut cakes. Teach you."

The four members of the Xiong family were all shocked at the moment, and they shook their heads again and again without caring about being awkward.Those four pastry crafts have already made the Xiong family a lot of money, and they are just passing down the crafts as family heirlooms from generation to generation. Teach them the craft of walnut crisp.

No one in town knows how to make walnut cakes.

Mother Xiong thought of something, and her thoughts moved slightly.

"Mr. Erlang, no need. Auntie knows that you don't mean it. I forgive you. I don't need this skill. It must have been passed down from your family. Generally speaking, this kind of family skill is passed down from male to male. Daughter, your family loves you and wants you to live a better life when you get married before passing it on to you, you have to cherish it and pass it on to you and Erlang's descendants, teach us all, and let your family know that it might make you angry."

Tang Shou knew that Mother Xiong had misunderstood, "No, Aniang, I didn't teach you the walnut cake craft for the sake of apologizing. This was discussed with Xiong... and Erlang a long time ago." Calling Xiong Zhuangshan with his surname had a big opinion, so he changed it.

Xiong Zhuangshan received Tang Shou's gaze, and said: "This is indeed what Fulang told me a long time ago. He means to teach you the craft of walnut cake, and you teach the four crafts to the fourth sister's family. .”

"No! That's not allowed! How can you teach a person with a foreign surname this ancestral handicraft!" Mother Xiong immediately yelled, "You must not teach it to Si Niangzi, just listen to me, and you should cover your handicrafts strictly yourself. , no one will give it!"

Mother Xiong didn't mean that she didn't love her daughter. Throughout the ages, women's status has always been embarrassing. They are outsiders in their natal family, and they are still outsiders in their mother-in-law after they get married.

"Aniang, Si Niangzi's family is not doing well. He is Erlang's younger sister after all. This skill should be regarded as a dowry from the elder brother to the younger sister."

Father Xiong, who had been silent all this time, also disagreed at this time: "No, there is no need to discuss this matter. If this skill is given to Si Niang, it is given to them. Zhao's family. From now on, it will become the property of Sun's family. It has nothing to do with my Xiong's family. Half the deal."

Although Tang Shou does not agree with the patriarchal idea, he can understand some of their thoughts.

"Father, mother, I understand what you mean. You listen to me first. If you still don't agree with me after I finish speaking, let it go!"

The mother bear's expression has shown that even if Tang Shou said something, they would not agree, so she said perfunctorily, "Just say it!"

"I know that my mother and father are not guarding against Si Niangzi, but Sun's family. My idea is that although I will teach Si Niangzi this skill, there is one condition, that is, the Zhao family cannot learn it. This skill belongs to the Xiong family. The dowry for Si Niangzi belongs to Si Niangzi. In the future, she can pass it on to her own children, whether it is a boy or a girl, but it cannot be passed on to anyone else in the Sun family, including her husband, Sun Erlang."

Mother Xiong said: "I don't agree, Si Niang's child is not from the Sun family, this thing still fell into the hands of the Sun family in the end."

Tang Shou didn't know how to change Mother Xiong's deep-rooted outdated thinking, so he could only try to explain: "Mother, the fourth lady's child is a descendant of the Sun family, but also a descendant of our Xiong family. The family is no less than the Sun family."

"How can it be the same? The child's surname is Sun, not Xiong." Father Xiong also chimed in.

After all, a surname is too important, and the married daughter even has to be removed from the family tree. From this aspect, it is obvious that the old couple of the Xiong family cannot be persuaded, so they can only play the emotional card.

"But the fourth sister is always the fourth wife of my mother and my father. She is not doing well in her husband's house, and you and the elders must feel uncomfortable. We can help, one day or two days, but after all, it can't last forever. I I don’t know how to help the Sun’s family. I just want to help Si Niangzi. Si Niangzi’s child is the grandson of my mother and father, and the nephew of Erlang and me. Life is not good, and we feel uncomfortable. Why don’t I help the Sun family as an uncle? , there is nothing wrong with helping your nephew."

Mother Xiong still shook her head, but Father Xiong disagreed.

In the end, it was Xiong Zhuangshan who said: "I have already made a decision on this matter, I will listen to my husband. The craftsmanship belongs to him, not our Xiong family. The Xiong family has no right to interfere with whoever he wants to give it to."

Father Xiong and Mother Xiong were speechless now, the craftsmanship belonged to Tang Shou, and Tang Shou did not hide it and brought it to their Xiong family. I think the Tang family must have loved this pair very much, otherwise they would not have taught the family the ancestral craftsmanship. Give it to him and let him take it to his in-law's house.The Tang family's move was nothing more than to prevent Tang Shou from being bullied by her mother-in-law in the future because of her skills.Such a comparison makes it seem that he is too harsh on the fourth wife who married out.Although Father Xiong and Mother Xiong still disagree in their hearts, they have no position to stop.

"The recipes in your hands have already been leaked, so it's not a pity to give them to Si Niangzi. No one else has the recipe for this walnut cake, but the Xiong family just keeps it."

Father Xiong murmured: "Mr. Erlang, you gave the prescription to Si Niang, how can you ensure that the Sun family will not forcefully ask for the prescription from Si Niang?"

"Of course this recipe can't be given quietly. Not only can't it be done quietly, but it should be done with great fanfare. The more people the better, the better. Call everyone in the Sun family and explain to them that this craft is for the four. The dowry of the lady, the private property of the fourth lady, can only be passed on to the biological children of the fourth lady in the future. If other people in the Sun family steal or trick the fourth lady's craftsmanship, our Xiong family will be held accountable. I will take Si Niangzi back to her natal family."

"Bringing her back to her mother's house means being divorced!" Mother Xiong covered her mouth in astonishment.

Being divorced is a very embarrassing thing.

But Tang Shou said solemnly: "Aniang, you are wrong, you are not being divorced, but your husband is divorced. It is our fourth lady who divorced her husband!"

"Husband!" the mother bear muttered to herself, she never thought that a woman could divorce her husband, this is too absurd.

"Yes, it's Husband. We will not back down on this matter, and we must be tough. Let the Sun family understand that our Xiong family's wife can not be bullied at will, and let the fourth lady know that her mother's family will always be her home. She is not Once you get married, you will have no home. It is definitely not because the mother-in-law is an outsider, but she is still an outsider in her natal family. The fourth lady will never be an outsider in her natal family, and the Xiong family will always be her home. There will be no changes because of getting married, and the Xiong family will always support her !"

"You will never be an outsider in your natal family!" Mother Xiong murmured these words, her eyes were red.She has been a wife and a mother, and she was spoiled by her mother-in-law for decades before she finally got her head off.The pain and grievances she suffered back then, she could only cry secretly under the covers at night, never had anyone said this to her, if she did, would her life as a mother-in-law be different.

Mother Xiong's eyes couldn't help getting a little moist, and the way she looked at Tang Shou was different. She had been wronged and suffered all her life, and when she was old, it was because of Mr. Erlang that she realized that all she wanted in her life was just such a sentence.No matter what happens, there is a home to return to.

"Mr. Erlang, Auntie agrees with you to teach Fourth Lady your skills. We just need to guard against the Sun family. If they get such a big advantage from our family and dare to embarrass Fourth Lady, then our Fourth Lady will be No. [-] in the world, Mrs. Hugh." !"

Tang Shou didn't expect that those persuasive persuasions would not work, but this one sentence made Mother Xiong change her mind.

Father Xiong looked at Mother Xiong and seemed to understand something, Xiong Sanlang was also thoughtful, and Xiong Dalang was lost in thought.

"Let's also talk to the Sun's family, either to teach Si Niangzi the skills, or to make Si Niangzi suffer and suffer for the Sun family as cattle and horses. Si Niangzi has the obligation to support the elderly, but not the obligation to support brothers. Si Niangzi earns Half of the money from the money will be given to the second elders of the Sun family every month. How the second elders of the Sun family use it, neither the fourth sister nor the Xiong family, but the remaining half is their own private house, and no one can touch it. When the family is separated in the future, they will not share the money in the hands of the fourth sister, nor can they use the money as an excuse to give the fourth sister less money. Otherwise, the Xiong family has the right to recover all the previous money and demand that the grandson family compensation."

"Well, can the Sun family agree?" Mother Xiong asked.

Xiong Sanlang saw it most clearly, "Aniang, as long as the Sun family is not a fool, there is no reason to disagree. This is giving money to his family for nothing! Who in the Yu Dynasty would bring the ancestral craftsmanship to the little lady at home?" If the news spreads to my husband's house, I don't know how many people will laugh at our family's stupidity."

Mother Xiong suddenly realized: "That's not right, I thought it was wrong, so let's do it this way, and invite witnesses, preferably Lizheng from Xiongjia Village and Zhaojia Village, if the Sun family dares to play rogues, we Xiongjia Let him look good at home."
