In terms of appearance, the three Tao brothers and sisters almost all inherited their looks from their mother. Tao's father has a good-looking appearance, but honestly speaking, he is not really a handsome guy, but it is mysterious to have poetry and calligraphy in his belly.
With the blessing of literary spirit, even though his appearance is not that outstanding, Tao's father is the most impressive among the Tao family.
Of course, this is from Lin Chaoyang's perspective.
From the perspective of brothers Tao Yucheng and Tao Yumo, they were a little confused when they saw how much their father valued their sister, a rural husband they had never met.
In their impression, their father was a steady man, always polite to everyone, and neither humble nor overbearing when he met with the leaders of the school. Their enthusiasm for Lin Chaoyang was beyond their expectation.
Tao Yumo recalled the "life-saving grace" her sister once said, and she felt that most of her father's enthusiasm was probably due to this reason.
It's just that she feels that she should repay the favor of saving her life, but if she were her, she would definitely not be able to do something like "promise with her body".
At this point, she felt that her sister was very similar to her father.
The warm greetings continued until dinner time. With Tao's father and eldest brother Tao Yucheng around, the atmosphere at home was much more harmonious than at noon.
The eldest son Tao Xiwen of Tao Yucheng's family came back from kindergarten, and the younger son Tao Xiwu woke up from his sleep. The adults chatted, the children laughed and played, and there were chopping sounds from the kitchen. The small Tao family was bustling.
Lin Chaoyang and his wife took out the gifts they brought back for their families, and Tao Yucheng, the eldest brother, and his family happily accepted the gifts.
My younger sister, Tao Yumo, looked on with cold eyes and just said thank you lightly after receiving the gift.
Tao's mother's hostility was even more obvious. She didn't even look at the gifts when they were placed on the table. Tao's father looked dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything because he was worried about the family being there.
The eldest brother Tao Yucheng brought a fish back from get off work, and Tao's father also brought some vegetables when he came back. In order to welcome Lin Chaoyang's arrival, the Tao family's meal tonight was comparable to the Chinese New Year.
During dinner, there were six dishes on the table. When everyone used their chopsticks, Lin Chaoyang did so together.
He took a bite of the steamed fish, tasted it, and praised: "This fish tastes really fresh, and mom's craftsmanship is really good!"
Hearing his words, Tao's mother's face jumped, and she managed to put on a smile under the attention of everyone.
"Mom can't cook other dishes, but fish is really good."
Tao Yucheng, the eldest brother-in-law, put the head of his chopsticks in the belly of the fish, took off a large piece of tender fish meat and stuffed it into his mouth with an expression of great enjoyment.
Tao's mother has an ugly face and looks at him with an unkind look. If you don't know how to speak, please speak less.
Tao Yumo saw that his elder brother was not merciful with his chopsticks, so he quickly picked up a large piece of fish and put it in his bowl.
"Chaoyang, if you like to eat, just eat more!"
Tao Yushu also gave Lin Chaoyang a piece of fish, but he put the fish into the bowl of Tao Xiwen, a child. "The fish is soft and tender and has high protein content. Eat more."
Sister-in-law Zhao Li smiled and said to her son Tao Xiwen, "Thank you, uncle."
"Thank you, uncle!"
Lin Chaoyang also smiled and replied. At this time, the little Tao Xiwu on the side became anxious, "Yes, yes..."
I guess I was anxious when I saw that everyone else had eaten the fish but I hadn't.
Lin Chaoyang said calmly: "Anchovies have a lot of spines, so you have to be careful when eating them, so as not to get stuck in your throat."
His carefulness was recognized by his sister-in-law Zhao Li, "Isn't that right? I have to be very careful every time I eat fish in the past few years for fear of getting stuck in them."
Tao Yushu's eyes lit up when he saw his performance. Tao's father nodded imperceptibly, and even the stiffness on Tao's mother's face melted away.
Only Tao Yucheng and Tao Yumo were working hard without saying a word.
After dinner, Tao Yumo was ordered by Tao's mother to wash the dishes, with a look of reluctance on his face.
Tao's father arranged for Tao Yucheng to help him rearrange the room where Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu would sleep at night. Tao Yumo, who was washing the dishes, became even more angry and wanted to clean the bottom of the bowl.
Tao's mother called Zhao Li and took her two grandsons out to eat. She did not welcome Lin Chaoyang's arrival, but Tao's father was the head of the family, so she had no choice but to turn a blind eye.
The Tao family lives in a single unit. Although the house is not large, it is well-equipped. The room that Tao Yucheng wants to clean was originally occupied by Tao Yushu and his two sisters.
He packed the things in a rough manner, making a ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong sound, which made Tao Yumo, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, very anxious. He rushed back to the room and shouted: "Be gentle! Do you really think this is your own thing?"
Tao Yucheng had a good temper, but he was lazy at work. When Tao Yumo stopped him, he just had the idea to say, "Then you can take care of it yourself."
Lin Chaoyang felt that this girl Tao Yumo was insinuations about Sang and Huai, but he had no intention of paying attention to this little girl. At this moment, he was talking to Tao's father, and the conversation involved his work, so it was not easy to be distracted.
"The current director of Yanda Library is Mr. Xie Daoyuan. We were familiar with each other when we were in Jiangxi. This time I arranged for you to work in the library. On the one hand, it is because of the school's care for the families of faculty and staff, and on the other hand, he is also a favor.
.”
Tao's father came up and explained the reason for his job bluntly, and then continued.
“Working in the library is not only a way to make a living, but also an opportunity to learn.
The library is a very special place for Yanda. Many of Yanda's senior students and scholars came from here. Now many family members of faculty and staff are housed in it, and there are also hidden dragons and tigers in it.
There is a strong study atmosphere there, and the study room is always full. When you go there, you must also take up studying.
Now that the country has resumed the college entrance examination, it's a pity that you only have a junior high school degree. But it doesn't matter, academic qualifications are not important, what is important is the gains in the learning process.
The library is a good place to study, and you have to pay more attention. Once you master the knowledge and master the true skills, you will have confidence wherever you go in the future."
Father Tao's conversation was very simple, and he could be regarded as making a request to Lin Chaoyang.
Lin Chaoyang understood this very well. As a junior high school graduate with a rural registered permanent residence, he could work as a librarian in the Library of Yanda University. Even if it was a temporary job, it was because Yanda University looked after his father-in-law. After entering, he must do a good job.
Performance.
Although this goes against his original intention of being a salty fish, who asked him to marry the daughter of a professor at Yanda?
Painful and happy.
We can only pretend to work hard first, Lin Chaoyang thought in his heart, and expressed his determination to Father Tao sincerely.
Father Tao waved his hands, "Don't be stressed. Whether it's studying or living, you have to do it step by step. You just arrived in Yanjing, so don't rush for a while. The important thing is perseverance and persistence."
"That's what you said."
Father Tao nodded. Although he showed enthusiasm for Lin Chaoyang's arrival, from the bottom of his heart, he was not satisfied with the rural son-in-law his daughter had found.
It’s not that he dislikes poverty and loves wealth, but he is afraid that his daughter will marry him out of temporary gratitude. He is also afraid that in the future, his daughter and her husband, who is from a rural area, will have nothing in common in their work and life, and they will become resentful couples in the future.
Now that they had met and observed Lin Chaoyang's speech and behavior, Tao's father felt that this son-in-law was not as bad as he thought. On the contrary, he was polite and sensible. This discovery made him happy and relieved from the bottom of his heart.
What's more, Tao's father could tell from his daughter's words about Lin Chaoyang that she was very affectionate for her rural husband, which made Tao's father even more relieved.
It started with a hero saving a beauty, and finally the two fell in love.
Therefore, he couldn't help but have more expectations for Lin Chaoyang and raise his requirements a little more.
Although he doesn't care about education and background, it would be even better if his son-in-law can make progress.
After a brief conversation, the three Tao brothers and sisters had almost tidied up the room.
The room faces south and is about ten square meters. The two single beds that were originally placed are now combined into a double bed.
The original desk and wardrobe have not been moved, but Tao Yumo's things have been moved to another room.
At this time, people have few night entertainment activities, and the Tao family turns off the lights and goes to bed early.
Two days ago, he was lying on an earthen bed in a rural village in Northeast China. Now he was lying on an iron frame bed in the apartment building of the highest university in Yanjing. Lin Chaoyang looked at the darkness above his head and sighed in his heart about the magic of fate.
At this time, a soft, boneless hand touched his shoulder, and his voice was filled with concern, "Are you a little uncomfortable when you first came to my house?"
"Fortunately, your family is very good to me."
"Really or not? My mother treats you well?" Tao Yushu felt that he was talking nonsense.
"Okay, didn't you see that you cooked a large table of dishes for me?"
"That's because of my dad."
"It's all the same." Lin Chaoyang put his arms around Xiang's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, it won't take long, I will definitely make your mother change her mind about me."
"Arrogant!"
Tao Yushu felt a burst of heat approaching her, and immediately put her hands against each other, whispering: "I'm at home, I just came back, please restrain yourself!"
"Legal couple."
Lin Chaoyang said something, turned over and wanted to press her under him, but he only heard an unbearable whine from the iron frame bed under him, which was so harsh in the dark that it could be heard even through two walls.
Lin Chaoyang seemed to have been cast a restraining spell and said dissatisfiedly: "You grew up eating suona in this bed, right?"
Tao Yushu chuckled and said, "I wonder if you still dare?"
Lin wanted to teach her a lesson, but the current situation seemed a bit embarrassing.
That's all, just be patient for now.
He secretly set his first goal after coming to Beijing: to change to a wooden bed.
Chapter completed!
