Several people joked for a while, and Zhang Meng said goodbye. Jingsheng wanted to keep him for dinner. Zhang Meng shook his head and said, "My father doesn't know what's going on recently. He always told me to go back. Even when he goes to the teacher's house, he has to tell him clearly when he will go back. If I hadn't said I was coming to your house, I'm afraid my father wouldn't let me go out. If I go back later, I'm afraid I'll be scolded again."

When Zhang Meng returned, Li Hua said, "What's wrong with Uncle Zhang? Why did you think of Brother Zhang Meng so strict recently?"

"Who knows, maybe the child is grown up, and the father is a little worried that he will learn bad things outside. It may be better after a while." Taohua stared at the two pheasants and drooled, "Brother, sister, how do you think these two chickens are eaten? Braised or fried?"

"I don't think it's better to bake it." A sudden voice said.

"Old man?!" Taohua looked up in surprise, and indeed saw that Old Man Zhao, who had disappeared for a while, was standing at the door and smiling at his brother and sister.

The brothers and sisters were surprised and hurriedly welcomed Old Man Zhao in. Jing Sheng and Lihua were busy for a while, and served tea and water. Old Man Zhao sat on the chair with a blunt smile. Taohua only curled her lips when she saw him, but she missed her a little for a long time, so she thoughtfully gave her two pieces of pastries.

Old Man Zhao said in surprise: "Girl, isn't it because he got sick recently? Why did he suddenly get something for me to eat?"

"Ph, pah, do you like it or not?" Taohua snorted, and then put the pastry back on the plate.

Old man Zhao hurriedly took it, "Eat! How can you not eat it? Why is it also given by Tao Yatou, and you can eat the poisonous ones too."

After getting it done, Jing Sheng had time to ask: "Where did Mr. Zhao go? But what happened?"

"Something happened."

"What's the matter? Is it important? Mr. Zhao, who can help, can speak up!" Jing Sheng said solemnly.

"Okay, okay, why are you doing so serious?" Old Man Zhao waved his hand and glanced at Taohua. Seeing her ears ridged and her face full of concern, she felt a little shudder in her heart. Then she said indifferently: "It's not a big deal, there will be a way to solve it. Don't worry."

Taohua looked at Old Man Zhao, and saw that there was unconcealed worry between his eyebrows and eyes, and pursed her lips and said, "How long will it take to stay at home this time?"

The atmosphere paused for a moment, and Jing Sheng said, "Mr. Zhao is still leaving?"

Old man Zhao put down the pastry, took a sip of tea, looked at Taohua and smiled, "It turns out that Taoyao knows me the best."

Taohua turned her face and said nothing.

Old Man Zhao touched his nose and smiled, "Hehe, okay, let's not talk about the ones that are not available, let's talk about what to eat for lunch today? I haven't had a stable meal for a long time. I miss Tao Yatou's skills a little, but I don't know if I, an old man, have that good food."

"I have something to do at noon, I don't have time." Taohua rolled her eyes and stood up and left.

Old man Zhao didn't care. He smiled and picked up the teacup and took a sip. However, Li Hua hurriedly asked him what he wanted to eat, so she would prepare now.

Taohua came out of the house and let out a long sigh, but the depression in her heart did not slow down at all. She unknowingly reached Yanzi's house. There seemed to be no one at home, and the door was closed. Taohua shouted twice without anyone to respond and was about to leave. As soon as she turned around, she saw Yanzi coming back from a distance. Taohua hurriedly walked over. When she got closer, she found that Yanzi was in a daze and her eyes were red, as if she had cried.

"What's wrong?" Taohua hurriedly walked over and asked.
