The Young Husband and His Disabled Son-in-Law

71

Tian Yao nodded. He didn't see Shen Qiao when he returned home. After waiting for a while and seeing no one, he went out to look for him.

Shen Qiao's house was neatly tidied, and the prepared leaf bowls and sliced ​​bamboo sticks were neatly placed. It seemed that Shen Qiao himself had been to the mountain again and picked leaves.

Only then did Tian Yao notice that Shen Qiao did not sleep on their bed, but had set up a wooden bed in the room just like Tian Yao did in the hospital.

He went to Aunt Shun's house to take a look and found that Shen Qiao was helping Aunt Shun pick up tiles from the roof.

Seeing Aunt Tian Yaoshun waving to him quickly, she just finished sinking the bridge and just came down from the roof.

"There was a strong wind two days ago, and a few tiles were blown off. Brother Qiao said to help me fix it." Aunt Shun patted the dirt and mud on Shen Qiao's body, "I said to wait until Yusheng comes back to fix it. Brother Qiao said You have to do it."

"It's just something easy." Shen Qiao's face is full of smiles. He smiles a lot now and is in good spirits. After escaping the haze of the past, he looks much calmer.

In the past, Tian Yao always felt that Shen Qiao was gentle, but his eyebrows were always shadowy, and he could not get rid of the sadness. But now, he is still gentle, but more reserved in temperament, even with some inconspicuous eyebrows. Become lively.

"Yusheng said that the Kang craftsmen will come over in the next two days, because they are coming from a far away place. If you live there, they will make do with it in the yard. They just want your family to cook three meals a day."

Tian Yao ordered . Nodding: "These are all small things, just get them sorted out as soon as possible."

They said goodbye to Aunt Shun, and then went to see Liu Zhi and Xiaobao together. Xiaobao was getting older day by day, and his white dough was getting cuter and cuter. When Qiao was alone, Liu Zhi occasionally brought Xiaobao to talk to him.

The three of them talked for a while. Shen Qiao said it was a bit cold and he wanted to go back and put on more clothes, so Tian Yao was left to talk to Liu Zhi.

Tian Yao heard Liu Zhi talking about things in the village, saying that someone was interested in the master of Mengxuetang in the village, but he was rejected by the village chief.

When Liu Zhi followed his example, the man said, "His distant nephew was admitted to Tongsheng after all. Isn't he any better than someone with no title?"

This man without any title was just talking about Yu Nian.

Tian Yao wasn't upset at all. Being a master in the village was their temporary solution. Yu Nian would not be a master in this elementary school forever.

"I was setting up a stall in the town and met a scholar." Tian Yao told Liu Zhi about meeting Fu Zhiming. "Anyway, he is also a scholar, so I want to ask the village chief if I can Let him come."

"We don't know anything about scholars." Liu Zhi nodded at Xiaobao, "I don't know if our Xiaobao will be able to go to school in the future."

This reminded Tian Yao that maybe he could go to school. Yu Nian discussed it so that the boys and girls in the village could have equal opportunities to go to school.

After coming out of Liu Zhi's house, Tian Yao returned home and found Shen Qiao who had put on his clothes. The two of them went up the mountain again. The weather was getting colder. After a while, Tian Yao probably wouldn't be able to go up the mountain again. At this moment, I had already started collecting firewood at home.

Shen Qiao cooked the meal in the evening, and Tian Yao noticed that when he cooked, he used eighty kilograms of grain he brought back from Song Yao. , this is his entire net worth.

Tian Yao took out the money from his wallet: "Brother Qiao, let me pay you some wages."

He looked businesslike, but Shen Qiao didn't know how to refuse: "It's not enough for me to do that little work." What about the expenses for staying at your house for the past few days?"

Tian Yao shook his head: "That's not the calculation. Besides, I have something to trouble you later. The people who make the kang are here, and Aunt Shun said she wants to cook. "I'm definitely not at home, so I have to ask you to help me watch it at home."

Shen Qiao had no choice but to accept the money he handed over. There was a bunch of copper plates and two silver corners: "There are so many." Okay." He handed the silver horn back, "These are enough."

Tian Yao shook his head: "It will definitely cost money to cook later. I can also let you subsidize the food. Just keep it first. If you think it's too much, just keep a note of how much you spend on groceries every day. Then I'll ask Yu Nian to calculate it and take back the extra to make up for it."

Shen Qiao then accepted it and said, "How about setting up a stall these days? Tian Yao smiled: "

I can't sell things faster now than before, but I can still sell them out. However, my peppers will always run out, so I should still think of other ways out, at least until next year." Only after the peppers are mature."

"I don't know anything about business, but if you need any help, I will help you without charge."

"Okay."

The person who made the Kang came the next day. After meeting them, Tian Yao thought that Shen Qiao was a brother after all, and it would be a bit inconvenient to stay with a group of craftsmen, so he discussed it and decided that Shen Qiao would stay at Aunt Shun's house at night, and he would go to Tianya with Aunt Shun during the day. Cooking at Haruka's house.

Tian Yao was a little embarrassed, but Aunt Shun said that she was bored at home alone, and it was more interesting to have Shen Qiao as her company, so Tian Yao didn't have to worry too much and just let go and do his own things.

Before going to the town, Tian Yao went to the village chief and told him about Fu Zhiming's situation. The village chief chewed his pipe and thought for a long time. He just said that he should come and take a look. After all, the village chief also needs to think about the village. , otherwise I wouldn't have refused the wife the people in the village were looking for.

Tian Yao nodded and said to the village chief: "In terms of talent, being able to be admitted as a scholar already shows that the talent is good. In terms of character, I am just a favor to him as a hot meal, and he can do it when I am robbed." It's quite rare to stand up. Next time I go back to the village, I will bring him back and you can test him again."

The village chief nodded and said, "Several neighboring villages are busy in autumn and want to do it. If the children are brought in for enlightenment, they will not be able to go home for lunch. What I want is to set up a canteen in the elementary school and find someone to help make a lunch. The ingredients will be provided by the children. The labor cost is 30 yuan per month."

"This is a good thing." Tian Yao thought, "The stoves were all there when we repaired the school last time, so there is no need to make any other preparations. Enlightenment is a matter of course. Yu Nian told me before that he had never participated in the scientific examination and did not understand this aspect, so he asked someone who had participated in the scientific examination to teach them the knowledge of the scientific examination. In the future, those who want to take the scientific examination can also go up."

The village chief nodded: "I'll think about it again."

Tian Yao then returned to the village with his own ingredients. I told Yu Nian about everything. He was like a mouthpiece, talking about the village and them at the same time.

"Then I'll tell Fu Zhiming tomorrow?"

Yu Nian nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, you have to run in both directions."

Tian Yao leaned over and kissed him on the face: "Then work hard and get well soon."

Mr. Zhou happened to come over and asked, "Is this something that can be cured quickly if he works hard?"

Tian Yao laughed and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I have to rely on you, I can do it."

It happened that the sound of a carriage occurred outside, and Tian Yao followed Mr. Zhou went out together, only to find that it was a convoy of escorts. Mr. Zhou called to Tian Yao: "Come and move things quickly, Yu Nian's medicine is back."

Upon hearing this, Tian Yao ran to the front of the convoy without caring about anything else. Looking at Mr. Zhou eagerly.

"These are the boxes." The escort's voice was very rough, and it sounded like the rough and harsh voice of someone who has been traveling all year round. Tian Yao quickly found the box containing the medicine according to his instructions. The escort blew his beard: "Those boxes of medicinal materials are not light. I will..."

Before he could finish his words, Tian Yao raised one hand. He picked up the boxes stacked on top of each other and moved the medicine into the hospital as fast as flying.

He waited for Mr. Zhou to sign the document and then submit the token. After Mr. Zhou finished writing, he asked: "That little brother just now, are you interested in being an escort? Our escort team is short of someone who can do hard work."

Mr. Zhou shook his head: "You have a brother, why do you want to be an escort?"

"Brother?" The escort opened his eyes wide, feeling that Mr. Zhou was lying to him, "Do you have such a brother?"

Mr. Zhou seemed to be very familiar with this escort. Look at him with the eyes that you don't know anything about: "You have traveled all over the world for so many years, why are you still so ignorant? Brother, can't you be so angry? Can't a man embroider flowers?"

The escort smiled and begged for mercy, but just looked at Tian Yao had enough strength to ask on a whim, but he didn't really want him to join the escort team.

After the two said a few words, the escort led the horse and left.

Tian Yao began to look at Mr. Zhou counting the medicinal materials eagerly. Although Tian Yao didn't understand, his eyes were bright when he heard Mr. Zhou talking about the efficacy.

"This is polar Ganoderma. It grows in extremely cold places. It only matures in late spring every year. Because the terrain is steep, only specialized pickers can pick it."

Tian Yao said, "That's definitely not cheap. Mr. Zhou

held up another bottle, which contained a few extremely green grasses: "This is called iceberg grass."

Tian Yao knew it must be good stuff just by looking at the bottle.

Then there were some other medicinal materials. Tian Yao swallowed: "Mr. Zhou, all these medicinal materials together will spend all the money."

Mr. Zhou nodded: "That's more or less it. With these medicines, Yu Nian's legs can be healed more thoroughly, and at least he won't have to worry about his legs hurting in rainy or snowy weather. "

Although it was money given to Mr. Zhou, it was still spent on them.

Tian Yao had nothing to do in return and could only take more care of him in terms of food.

When it's time to set up his stall, Tian Yao still goes out at the same time, but now the business is not as good as it was at the beginning. Tian Yao is not anxious or annoyed. The business will be better at noon, and the sales will not move much in the morning. Even children can be sold.

Every day at noon, he would either buy a sesame seed cake from the sesame seed cake guy nearby, or he would bring steamed buns from home and dip them in his soup to make a meal. However, he did not forget about Fu Zhiming, who would also heat the steamed buns for him when he was heating them. Check out the lunch he brought.

Fu Zhiming felt a little embarrassed before. When he came to get the cake, he looked around for fear that others would gossip about him and Tian Yao.

Tian Yao didn't care at all, he just did whatever he wanted. It wasn't until Yu Nian came to see him one day that the people around him looked at Tian Yao from jealousy to pity.

No wonder a brother has to work so hard to make money. It turns out he has a disabled husband to support.

On my first day at work, I was so full of energy that the whole office could hear the sound of me taking out paper and blowing my nose.
