Chapter 12 Being a Guest

Ye Tao became more and more excited the more he thought about it, and he began to get busy...

In the midst of busyness, time flies very quickly. In the blink of an eye, an hour passed. Ye Tao collected 2,200 points of energy during this period, which is about four times that of an ordinary period. Although he was very mentally exhausted, the joy in his eyes has never disappeared.

Ye Tao looked at the time in the system and it was almost 11 o'clock in the morning, so he rushed home directly...

Back in his yard and closed the door, Ye Tao came to the main house and asked the system to remind him at 12 o'clock, and lay on the bed and fell asleep drowsyly.

Although the recovery is relatively fast in the system space, the time he enters every day is only four hours outside. And when he has no energy, it is a waste of time to go in. I will wait until the evening to talk, let alone go to Zhang Songlin's home later.

I don't know how long it took.

"Bangbang..."

Ye Tao was in a daze and heard a knock on the door outside the door. He woke up from his dream, opened his eyes, sat up, shook his mind, and woke up a lot. After looking at the system template, he saw that his energy had recovered by 58 o'clock during this period, and he learned that nearly an hour had passed.

Because according to his current recovery level, it is 60 o'clock in an hour, and 1440 o'clock can be restored in a day. In theory, he can activate skills 282 times, but in fact he can't activate so many times. After all, he still has to enter the system to learn, and all aspects of knowledge and so on also require energy.

Ye Tao jumped out of the bed, put on his shoes, walked out of the main house door, and came to the small yard and opened the door.

A girl stood outside the door, no one else, Zhang Songlin's daughter Zhang Xuan, opposite the door.

"Uncle Ye..., my father said, let you go to my house for dinner."

Zhang Xuan's face was a little rosy, and she pinched the corners of her clothes and said in a low voice.

"Oh, oh, let's go!"

Ye Tao nodded with a hint of entanglement on his face. He felt so uncomfortable when he heard a girl who was over 10 years older than him.

"kindness."

Zhang Xuan raised her head and smiled shyly, then turned around and walked towards the house opposite. Ye Tao shook his head in a funny way, walked out of the courtyard, closed the door, and hurriedly followed...

Zhang Xuan's home is only ten steps away from the small courtyard where Ye Tao lives, just opposite him. Therefore, in almost the blink of an eye, Ye Tao entered the small courtyard of Zhang Xuan's home. The environment inside is not much different from the small courtyard where he lives.

"Yezi, here you come, come, let's go into the house." Zhang Songlin looked at Ye Tao coming in and greeted enthusiastically.

"Brother Zhang, don't be so polite." Ye Tao replied with a smile, then followed Zhang Songlin into the main house.

I saw that the square tables in the house were filled with food, with about ten plates, and there were chicken, duck, fish and meat. There were also a few vegetables and fried eggs inside, which exuded a hot aroma, which was very attractive.

Ye Tao looked greedy. In such years, it was not bad to have a little meat, let alone so abundant. Although he could already use the functions of the system to exchange RMB for the RMB some time ago, it was unreasonable to hand over the RMB directly to his parents.

If he uses the system's exchange function to exchange delicious food, it is an extremely luxurious thing, because the system's energy exchange method, in addition to things like secrets, is determined based on the energy contained in the object. Just like a Fuji apple, Ye Tao needs 8 energy points to exchange, but if he exchanges RMB, he can exchange 80 yuan. Then, if he uses this 80 yuan to buy apples, he can definitely exchange apples for half the room. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Ye Tao will definitely not change things in the system so abnormally. In reality, he rents a house mainly to have a place to eat.

At the same time, Xiao Zhang Kai, who had been waiting for a long time, held chopsticks in his hand, swallowed his saliva while looking at the food and looking at Zhang Songlin, couldn't wait to say, "Dad, can you eat it?"

"Okay, little guy, eat it."

Ye Tao smiled and touched Zhang Kai's head, then sat on the stool, looked at Zhang Songlin and said, "Brother Zhang asked his sister-in-law and Xiao Xuan to come and eat, it's more lively."

"No need, let them eat in the kitchen, there are a lot left there." Zhang Songlin sat down with a smile.

In the rural areas of 1980s, generally speaking, as long as guests come to the house, women never go to the table, but just serve them in the stove and dining table. Ye Tao also knows a little about this custom, because when he was a child, every time he would celebrate the Chinese New Year in his hometown, his two aunts would hide in the stove and have fun!

In the past, Ye Tao still didn't understand, but now he has deeply understood what happened. First, since ancient times, he has followed the customs of the times of the male protagonist and the female protagonist inside. Another manifestation is in moral concepts. It is inappropriate for women to "spend" and it is inappropriate to be on an equal footing with men. He is afraid of harming women's morality and threatening men's authority. Even if he comes back again, this custom was still retained in some mountain villages before.

Ye Tao could say that he looked down on this custom very much. He smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, let's have a meal together. To be honest, I will plan to have dinner at your house in the future. I am too lazy to do it myself. If I keep going like this, I'm really embarrassed to come."

Hearing this, Zhang Songlin was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly, "Okay!" He got up and walked out...

At the same time, he felt a little joy in his heart, because since Ye Tao would come to eat in the future, he naturally would be compensated for money. After all, in his opinion, Ye Tao must be a visitor from a big place. He couldn't get used to the common food, so it would be the best to eat. If he wanted to eat meat every time, it would be a daydream. So according to his idea, Ye Tao would definitely take out the money. He was not greedy for this money, but could make the children eat better. How could anyone who is a father not want to do it?

After a moment.

After Zhang Songlin's repeated persuasion, Huang Ling agreed to come and have dinner together, but the posture of sitting on the stool felt awkward no matter how you looked, it was like an emperor's seat in ancient times, and she sat on the stool with half her buttocks.

Although Zhang Xuan sat down more steadily, she lowered her head and almost buried her head in her chest.

Ye Tao felt a headache when he saw it and smiled bitterly. It seemed that the customs in ancient times were very harmful, but at this time, he couldn't say anything anymore. If everyone comes into contact with each other for a long time in the future, it might be fine.

Ye Tao was indeed hungry and hadn't eaten for most of the day. At this time, he was too lazy to be polite. He picked up the chopsticks and ate the wind and the clouds. His eating style was like he had never eaten in eight lifetimes.

Zhang Songlin, Huang Ling, and Zhang Xuan looked at Ye Tao and were stunned. She really couldn't understand why the young man who looked gentle and rich in front of her looked like he was eating like this. He was even more fierce than their pigs.

And Xiao Zhang Kai was naturally not polite and started fighting with Ye Tao.

"The taste is really good. Brother Zhang is my sister-in-law's skill!" Ye Tao took a few fierce bites, his mouth full of oil, and looked at Zhang Songlin and exclaimed.

"Well, there are also Xiaoxuan's things." Zhang Songlin looked at Ye Tao's appearance and nodded in disbelief. A faint smile appeared on Huang Ling and Zhang Xuan's faces, and the restraint in his heart disappeared a lot.

"You all eat, don't be polite." Ye Tao looked at everyone staring at him, without any embarrassment on his face, and then joked, "Although I know I'm very handsome, you can't eat it if you look at me like this!"

"Puchi!"

Zhang Songlin, Huang Ling and Zhang Xuan were stunned at first, and then laughed silently. A hint of rosy appeared on Huang Ling and Zhang Xuan's faces, and the restraint in his heart disappeared completely.

"Okay, okay, everyone eats it!" Zhang Songlin smiled generously, no longer politely, took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fat meat and started eating it. Huang Ling and Zhang Xuan were a little implicit, which was considered to be activated.

"Huh!" Ye Tao breathed a sigh of relief. He was so tired of eating. Then, while eating, he asked Zhang Songlin curiously, "Brother Zhang, isn't Xiaoxuan's age supposed to go to school?"

"It's good for a farmer to graduate from junior high school. What's the use of studying? It's better to go home early to farm and have a harvest." Zhang Songlin's eyes flashed with guilt, and then he said indifferently.

When Zhang Xuan heard this, she lowered her head with a hint of sadness in her beautiful eyes and stopped her chopsticks.

After looking at it, Ye Tao understood that the eighth floor was due to money. Although the tuition fee was not very high in 1985, it was impossible for a family with an annual income of less than 1,000 yuan, to pay for high school and university tuition. Moreover, there was also the food, drink, defecation, tuition, etc. Generally speaking, even if the Zhang family had money, they would probably provide it to their son first. This is still a rural custom.

"Hey!" Ye Tao sighed and looked at Zhang Xuan and said lightly, "Girl, do you still want to go to school?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Songlin and Huang Ling instantly became petrified. No matter how stupid they were at this moment, they understood from Ye Tao's words that the young man in front of him wanted to help his daughter. The two of them showed a strange look in their eyes when they looked at Ye Tao. Could it be that this person who fell in love with his daughter?

When Zhang Xuan heard Ye Tao's words, she naturally understood it. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she blurted out without any consideration, "I want to!"
