Chapter 5442 Don’t worry about him
Little old Yangtou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Brother, as soon as you said this, you thought it was me. If a passerby heard it, he would have thought that we brothers have a gold mountain and silver mine at home. Here!”
“What? If you don’t have the Jinshan Silver Mine, you can’t hire someone to do the rough work? It won’t cost much!” Old Yangtou said, taking out a couple of silver and putting it on the table. superior.
"This is Yongxian who came back to honor me a while ago. You can go and call Yu Xingkui over later. He has served me well and is to my liking."
Little old Yang looked at it He was very embarrassed to hold the one tael of silver on the table.
"Brother, if I remember correctly, the third child asked Yu Xingkui to come over to serve you, and it was two taels of silver every month, right?" , wait for the subsequent wages, record them in the account, and settle them together when Yongxian comes back."
"Brother, this is not good, Yu Xingkui was the boss before. Third, I came here to serve you. I live together now. One tael of silver for half a month seems inappropriate, but the three of us live under the same roof, and it’s not easy to separate the pot and start a new stove. Hey, I see Forget it, I'll do my best to serve you."
Old Yangtou was unhappy and immediately slammed his chopsticks on the table and went back to the house angrily.
Little Old Yangtou thought for a while, and then cooked a bowl of egg noodles for Old Yangtou and sent it over, but Old Yangtou still didn't buy it.
Since the winter solstice, Old Yangtou has threatened Little Old Yangtou with a hunger strike for two days, during which he only drank a few sips of water.
This made little old Yangtou so anxious that he found an opportunity to find brother Yang Huazhong and Yang Huaming and tell him about the matter.
"Before, we found people to serve him one after another, who were picky and picky, but now he is clamoring for people to serve him?" Yang Huaming sneered again and again.
"Let me tell you, this matter is simple. I will set up a carriage and send him to Baie Town, Huguang County, and let Yongxian take care of him."
小Old Yangtou smiled kindly and said, "You are telling me what you are saying, Fourth. Yongxian himself only has clothes to put on, food to eat, and mouth to open. How can he still serve your master?"
Yang Huaming smiled even more happily, "Uncle, you can rest assured. My father is picky about the chicken, duck, and fish we cook. Even a bowl of leftover rice from Yongxian is treated as a treasure by my father. If you don't believe it, let's try it and we'll make it tomorrow." Harness a chariot and horse and send it away "Try it in Baie Town?"
Little old Yangtou waved his hands: "It's better not to try it. It's such a cold weather. If something goes wrong, it will be bad."
He turned around. He turned around and looked at Yang Huazhong, "Third brother, please give me an idea about this matter."
Yang Huazhong said with a sullen face, "Uncle, let him be hungry. Now you will compromise if he doesn't hold the bowl for two days. Turning back and pointing out that the suggestion might be more extreme What do you think of his request?”
Little old Yangtou was dumbfounded, and suddenly remembered that when the two brothers were chatting together during this period, old Yangtou mentioned it to him openly and secretly. Marry another woman and come back.
Even an older woman will do, but it would be better if she was younger.
Little old Yang Tou just ignored it as a joke. Now he felt scared after hearing Yang Huazhong’s reminder.
Yang Huazhong looked at little old Yangtou and said: "Brother-in-law, my suggestion is that you don't care about my father. You are a very old man yourself. It's time to find your grandchildren and enjoy your life." Tian Qingfu."
Yang Huaming heard the clues in Yang Huazhong's words and immediately agreed: "The third brother is right, uncle, you are not my father. Servant, you have taken care of him for so long. It is not easy to take care of him. It is almost done. If you get tired and sick later, who will take care of you?"
"I will? To put it bluntly, even if you are tired, sick, and exhausted, you can’t even expect a kind word from my father.”
"Because in his heart, Yongxian is a human being in this world now. The rest of us are not human beings. We are helpers and slaves, and everything is as it should be."
Little old Yangtou was completely speechless. I don’t know what to say.
Yang Huazhong stopped Yang Huaming with his eyes, turned around and said to young Yangtou: "Uncle, what the fourth man said is a bit harsh, don't take it to heart, but what he said is also true. My father, he , I don’t know what you are doing.” Little old Yang spread his hands and said, “Old San. , It doesn’t matter whether your father knows what’s going on right now, you have to think of a way first. He has been on a hunger strike for two days.”
Yang Huazhong said: “This kind of thing. It’s not like this has happened before. It’s okay to be hungry for five days.”
"Ah?" Little old Yangtou was dumbfounded.
Yang Huaming patted his chest and said: "Really, uncle, just believe us. We have experience in this kind of thing. He will naturally eat it on the sixth day of hunger. Put it on me and he will He can’t bear to die, even if we all die!”
Little old Yangtou knew what was going on, so he went back.
After arriving home, I went into the house to say hello to Lao Yangtou as usual.
"Brother, are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?" He stood by the bed and looked at Lao Yangtou, who was lying sideways on the bed.
Old Yangtou lay still and did not move. He only twisted his neck and glanced at little old Yangtou: "Yu Xingkui invited you here?"
Little old Yangtou was startled for a moment, shook his head, and smiled apologetically: " There is no need to spend that wasted money, don’t you still have me..."
"You are useless, The dishes are not even cooked. Hurry up and get Yu Xingkui for me..."
Little old Yangtou is still smiling, but old Yangtou has turned his head and is lying there on his side with two pillows under his head. He held a pillow and smoked a dry tobacco stick in his hand, making the room smoky.
"Brother, you should take less puffs while lying on the bed. If these sparks splash on the bedding, it might start burning..."
Old Yangtou ignored him.
Little old Yangtou sighed and had to turn around and leave the house.
With the words of brother Yang Huazhong in mind, from that day on, little old Yang cooked two meals a day. After the rice was cooked, he brought a bowl to Lao Yang and put it in his house as usual. bedside.
It didn’t matter whether he ate or not, he just left without saying anything.
Then I do whatever I have to do. Sometimes I have to work in the vegetable garden for a while, and I dig half a basket of wild vegetables in the mountains to feed the chickens and ducks.
On the fifth day when the old brothers were secretly fighting, little old Yangtou went to the vegetable garden and had not come back yet. There were porridge, multigrain steamed buns, and a boiled egg in the bowl beside the bed.
Old Yangtou's stomach growled non-stop, and he was so hungry that his stomach was deflated. When he sat up, stars appeared in front of his eyes.
The aroma of the food penetrated his nostrils continuously, and he couldn't help but reach out his hands several times. But after being hungry for five days, he suddenly sat up to get the dishes and chopsticks, only to find that his fingers He couldn't exert even half of his strength.
Obviously, the steamed buns were in his hand, but they fell to the ground before they reached his mouth. Old Yang was so angry that he beat the edge of the bed for a while, and then, driven by hunger, he bent down to pick up the steamed buns on the ground. ...
Lack of energy, unable to pick it up, dizziness, vertigo, cold sweat on forehead, chest tightness, palpitation...
There was a creaking sound, and the door of the hall opened at this time.
