  Tu Lin can also see now that the members of the Tu family should have just woke up, and it was only when they realized that Ruan Tang hadn't done the housework as usual, and there was something missing in the kitchen, so he probably hadn't noticed it yet. Didn't say much.

As for Tu Wenqiang's clamoring to make good dishes on the table, and if Tu's father still wants to drink two glasses with himself, although Tu Lin has already had breakfast, he can still eat some. After thinking about it, Tu Lin walked into the main room, and he didn't forget to give Ruan Tang a hand to let him enter the room with him. Only Tu Lin and Ruan Tang moved, but Tu Wenqiang's daughter-in-law Song Shi and Tu Xinyue remained motionless.

Mrs. Song was a little at a loss and said, "There is no water in the tank, so I can't wash vegetables and rice, how can I cook..."

Tu Wenqiang subconsciously looked at Ruan Tang, and Ruan Tang followed as if he didn't listen. Tu Lin entered the house, swallowed the words to stop Ruan Tang, scratched his head, then resignedly went to the corner to pick up the pole and bucket, and said to Song, "I'll just go and beat it." Tu Xinyue secretly looked at

Tu Lin glanced at her, and said reluctantly, "Father, I have no money."

Others didn't know what Tu Xinyue said, but Tu's father knew it was a lie. Money, and learned weaving from Mrs. Li, and let her collect all the money from selling cloth. After saving it over the years, I am afraid that the private house has more money than the old couple. Now they say they have no money, but it is because I just don't want to get wine for Tu Lin to drink.

In the past, Father Tu would not have cared about Tu Xinyue's petty temper, and his daughter would naturally be more pampered, but now he is at the time when he feels the most guilty towards Tu Lin, so Father Tu couldn't bear Tu Xinyue's attitude like this, but After all, he was not used to losing his temper with his daughter, so he just darkened his face slightly, and then said: "If you don't have any money, you can get credit first, and then pay later." After saying that, he turned and went into the room.

It's just that although Tu's father's words were not harsh at all, Tu Xinyue, who had never said a single harsh word since she was a child, let alone scolding, still had her eyes reddened with grievance in an instant. It happened that Tu Lin came to her side, and she gave Tu Lin a hard look.

Tu Lin didn't want to argue with a little girl, he didn't even glance at Tu Xinyue, and went straight into the house. This completely ignoring attitude made Tu Xinyue even angrier.

Father Tu, Tu Lin, and Ruan Tang had already entered the main room, Tu Wenqiang went to fetch water from the small river outside the village, and Mrs. Song entered the kitchen. At this time, only Tu Xinyuehe was left standing in the middle of the yard, silent all the time. , but Li Shi's complexion is extremely ugly.

From when Tu Lin appeared just now to when they entered the house with Tu's father, Tu Lin didn't even give her a mother, let alone call her a mother, as if she didn't exist at all. For Li Shi, it was more difficult for her to accept than Tu Lin suddenly not being stupid.

You have to know that when Tu Lin was not stupid in the past, although he knew that Li Shi was his stepmother, he always regarded Li Shi as his biological mother, was very filial and respectful, and even tried his best to please her. When he entered Tu's house, he treated Tu Lin very ordinaryly, he couldn't compare with his own parents and children at all, and after Li's younger brother had an accident, he almost regarded Tu Lin as an enemy.

Although later, as time passed, Li gradually came out of the grief and regained some sanity, and stopped shouting at Tu Lin, but he also turned from being normal to completely indifferent to Tu Lin. She no longer talked to Tu Lin, no longer looked at Tu Lin, and almost treated Tu Lin as nothing.

But just now, not only did Tu Lin suddenly appear in front of her soberly and normally, but he no longer treated her with the same respect and flattery as before, and even completely ignored herself like her attitude towards Tu Lin in the past. This made Li Shi, who was used to seeing Tu Lin humble and flattering him all the time, not accept it for a while.

At first, Tu Xinyue wanted to complain to Li Shi, but seeing Li Shi's extremely ugly face, she obediently swallowed all her words, and then went out to get a drink honestly, but she complained secretly in her heart: as soon as the elder brother appeared It's really too much to make mother so unhappy. After a few years of happy life, I'm afraid that there will be no rest in the future. Why is my eldest brother getting better all of a sudden? Really are......

Li Shi was the only one left in the yard. Her face turned blue and white, and her expression alternated between thoughtful and angry. After a while, she snorted heavily as if she had figured out something, and then lifted her foot. Then she walked to the main room, she wanted to see what her stepson wanted to do.

I just didn't want to walk two steps, and heard Mrs. Song shouting suddenly in the kitchen: "There are thieves! There are thieves! Mom, there are thieves in the house—" Mrs. Li paused, then turned and entered

. in the kitchen.

At this time, in the main room of the Tu family's main house, Tu Fu and Tu Lin sat on either side of the Eight Immortals Table placed against the north wall, and Ruan Tang sat on Tu Lin's right hand. Several people were talking with smiles on their faces, and they looked very harmonious, especially Tu Lin and Tu Fu, they really looked like a pair of loving father and filial son who had no estrangement until Song Dynasty. Shi's shout sounded, breaking the harmonious scene.

"What's the matter, where did the thief come from in broad daylight?" Father Tu didn't know what was going on, and when he heard Mrs. Song yelling, he leaned over to look in the yard outside the house.

Tu Lin also turned his head to look outside the house, but his face was different from Father Tu's inexplicable, but a kind of clarity that finally arrived. He had already figured out what was going on, but he wouldn't tell Father Tu now.

"Old man, old man, come quickly, it's terrible, a thief has broken into our house—" There was another voice of yelling from the kitchen, but this time it was no longer Song's, but Li's.

"What, is there really a thief? What did you lose?" Hearing that Mrs. Li also said that there was a thief, Father Tu really believed it, and ignored Tu Lin, and hurriedly got up and walked out.

Tu Lin also stood up, turned his head and saw that Ruan Tang looked a little nervous, so he smiled at him, took his hand and squeezed it gently, and comforted him in a low voice: "It's okay, there is And me."

The hand was completely held, and the skin was pressed against each other without any barriers. The slightly rough but warm touch that obviously belonged to someone else was clear and distinct. There was a deep, soft and mellow male voice that gave people a sense of stability and reliability, Ruan Tang I found that my heartbeat suddenly accelerated a lot, and my face didn't feel a little hot.

He subconsciously withdrew his hand and nodded indiscriminately, but for some reason he didn't dare to look up at Tu Lin, so he naturally didn't notice the joyful and satisfied smile on Tu Lin's face.

Although Ruan Tang withdrew his hand, as if he didn't want to get too close to him, Tu Lin could clearly see the gradually darkening complexion around Ruan Tang's ear. Facing his intimacy, Ruan Tang's reaction was not disgust or rejection, but obvious embarrassment and bewilderment. Such a reaction made Tu Lin not in a good mood.

Such a good mood didn't weaken at all until he and Ruan Tang came to the kitchen door, and when they heard the movement inside, they suddenly turned their heads to look at them.

"What's the matter? What's missing?" Sweeping casually over Li's body, Tu Lin ignored her, and directly asked the frowning Tu father inside, no matter what, the Tu family is still his home now, As a member of the family, he also needs to be concerned.

Father Tu looked back at him, with a hesitant look on his face, as if he didn't know what to say, but Mrs. Song glanced at Mrs. Li, and then said in a low voice, "There is less rice, and about ten eggs are missing. , and a piece of bacon, oh, and there are six missing steamed buns yesterday." "

Oh, so these things, I took them by the way when I asked Ruan Tang to bring dinner yesterday, it's nothing..." Before Tu Lin finished speaking, Li could no longer hold back.

She scraped Tu Lin and Ruan Tang fiercely with her eyes like knives, and said coldly: "Okay, okay, it's really day and night defense, and it's hard to guard against house thieves. More than 20 years of delicious food and drink When he grew up, he raised a thief in the end. Tu Dazhi, take a good look, this is your good son!"

"A Lin, how could you, how could you... oh..." Father Tu had heard Li Shi and Song Shi say before that the kitchen was still full when they were cooking dinner yesterday, but just now they found that there were a lot of things missing. , and during this period, no one from the Tu family entered the kitchen again, except Ruan Tang who came to get dinner later.

Almost immediately, Mrs. Li decided that it was Ruan Tang who did it. After all, she knew best about how she treated Ruan Tang and Tu An harshly, and all the food thrown in the kitchen was rice, meat and eggs, so it must be Ruan Tang took it when she saw that the food was not enough, but she couldn't tell Father Tu about this.

So at the beginning when Li's words hinted that Ruan Tang stole something, Father Tu didn't believe it. After all, Ruan Tang had been at their house for several years, and this kind of thing had never happened before. How could he suddenly steal it for no reason? Things, but when he heard Tu Lin admitting it himself, he had no choice but to believe it, so his tone was somewhat disappointed.

It's just that Tu Lin ignored him at this time, Li Shi's mouthful of thieves made him very uncomfortable, and he finally looked at Li Shi, and said expressionlessly: "Who did you just say is a thief?" Me? I don't understand this, this is the Tu family, my surname is Tu, and I belong to the Tu family, so why shouldn't I take some things from my own house? Dad, what do you think?"
