The two sisters were talking, and Tiehu returned from the ground. Although there is nothing wrong with Tiehu's legs, he still dare not do heavy work, but relatively light work such as digging and weeding can still be done. Therefore, no one is invited to work in the field, and only the father and daughter are doing it. Tie Kui occasionally helps.
As soon as I walked in, I heard that most of the foreign debt had been paid, and Tiehu asked, "It's not that mechanics owed others six taels of silver. You helped to pay off after you passed the door?"
After Chunxiang passed the door, Shao's father gave a red envelope with two taels of silver in it. Then Chunxiang took out four taels of silver from the bottom of the press box to help Shao Lizhong pay off the debt.
Knowing that he had made a mistake, Tiehu asked, "How many brothers are there in this family, and where is he ranked?"
Chunxiang asked Shao Liqiang to find out the other party's details, and then went home and said this: "He has four brothers in his family, and he is third. Because he was born in winter, he named Dongzi. Because his father doesn't care about his family. The matter was outside. The family really couldn’t support so many children and gave him to his cousin who couldn’t bear to be a son. The clinker was pregnant by his cousin when he was eight years old, and he was sent back when he was born as a son. Duan's family."
Chun Ni was speechless: "None of the four brothers married a wife?"
Chunxiang shook his head and said, "His younger brother was sold to a big family as a servant by his father because of his good looks. For some reason, he was sold out in the third year. His eldest brother married a widow with two children last year. All three of the soil embryo rooms are occupied. The two brothers couldn't do it, so they set up a hayloft at the entrance of the village. "In this situation, it is strange to be able to marry a daughter-in-law.
"How are people?"
Chunxiang said, "After asking, he said that people are pragmatic and diligent. But they don't have craftsmanship, and the two brothers work part-time in the county town. The money earned is used to pay off debts except for food."
Working part-time to pay off foreign debts sounds like a good character. Tiehu nodded and said, "I will ask your brother to find out. If it is all true, please bring me to see when the time comes."
Tie Kui also hoped that Chun Ni's marriage would be settled sooner so that he could leave with peace of mind next year. Knowing this, Tie Kui said, "I will go to the county town tomorrow." It's definitely not a good idea to rush to the village to find out. It's better to find someone you know.
When he went out, Tie Kui said, "It may take a few days to come back."
Six days later, Tie Kui returned home.
Tie Hu hurriedly asked, "How's your inquiries?"
"As the elder sister said is a down-to-earth duty, the three brothers are very diligent and willing to do anything. However, after his elder brother married the widow, he occupied the three unfinished houses in the family and then gave him all the foreign debts. With the second child. The two brothers are also honest, and if they can't argue, they will bear the foreign debt." Tie Kui took a sip of water and said, "The two paid off most of the foreign debt by doing part-time work, and there are still three or four taels of money left. Also."
Chun Ni asked, "Adi, have you seen anyone?"
Tie Kui nodded and said, "I see, he is shorter than his father, and he is very burly and dark-skinned. Sister, the only disadvantage of this person is that he has a little dull temperament and very few words, but if I can speak well, I wouldn't worry about it." Those who can speak well have a more active mind. Such a person, how can he be a son-in-law with all his heart
Tiehu looked at Chun Ni and said, "Nizi, let the middleman take him to the house. If you like it, please settle down!"
Chunni can trust Tie Kui. Even if he said that Dongzi's character and appearance are good and hardworking, there should be nothing wrong with it: "I'll see you first."
Two days later, Sister Liu brought Duan Xiaodong over. As Tie Kui said, this man was tall and burly with dark skin.
Chunni took a look in the dark, and then pulled Tiekui and asked, "Die, it's not good to see this persona, don't it be something wrong with your body?"
Tie Kui said, "I have asked the doctor to show him, and his body is fine. It's just that I'm tired day by day and I don't eat well and my body suffers. If the doctor is still young, he will be fine if he eats better in the future." , If so, it would kill Chun Ni for a lifetime.
"Nothing wrong."
Tie Kui smiled and said, "Second Sister, if you are also in the same position, go out and say hello to someone." She liked it too, so naturally she wanted to meet.
Chun Ni squeezed and said, "You go out first, and I will change into my clothes." You have to dress yourself up to make a good impression.
When Duan Xiaodong saw Chun Ni, he didn't know where to put his hands.
It was Liu's sister-in-law who gave him a push before he came back to his senses: "You, you sit..."
With this silly look, Chunni burst out laughing: "You sit down! I'm going to cook. At noon, you will stay at home for dinner!"
Sister-in-law Liu was overjoyed, and she said that she had fallen in love with her stupid cousin as soon as she opened her meal.
The lunch is three kinds of meat and three vegetables, and the taste is very good. However, Duan Xiaodong stopped eating after eating a bowl and a half of rice.
After lunch, sister-in-law Liu took Duan Xiaodong away.
Chun Ni said with a bitter face: "Adi, he kept a bitter face while eating, isn't he dissatisfied with me?" It's rare to meet such a pleasing eye, Chun Ni doesn't want to miss it.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "Second Sister, he is not grimace, but something on his mind."
"What's on your mind?"
Tie Kui laughed and said, "I'm not the roundworm in his stomach. How did I know? But the second sister can rest assured, he is very satisfied with you when he saw you just now. As for what is going on, we will wait for the middleman's reply. that is."
When I left Tiejia Village, Sister-in-law Liu also asked: "Dongzi, are you not fond of this girl? If you don't like it, I will refuse for you." When I was a child, Sister-in-law Liu's mother used to feed the three Duan Xiaodong brothers. Duan Xiaodong and his second brother are grateful for her kindness, and they have been helping her family for several years. Sister-in-law Liu was also concerned about the two brothers, so she wanted to help him.
"no."
Sister-in-law Liu actually knew that Duan Xiaodong liked Chunni, and she said that deliberately just now: "Since I like that girl, why did she frown just now."
Duan Xiaodong said: "Sister, if you want ten taels of silver from them, do you think the marriage will be bad." Whenever there is a way, no man is willing to be the son-in-law. But the two brothers had no house, land or land, and it was difficult to get married if they wanted to marry a daughter-in-law. I still heard that the woman’s family is well-off, Duan Xiaodong thought it would be okay to come, but the woman had to pay a dozen silver.
Sister-in-law Liu knew his temperament and would not ask for money for no reason, so she immediately asked, "What do you want ten taels of silver for?"
Duan Xiaodong said: "The family still owes a foreign debt of four taels of silver, and I want to repay the debt. Then, with the remaining money, I will build two or three soil embryo houses. With a house, my second brother can even marry a daughter-in-law. Up."
Sister-in-law Liu smiled and said, "I'll tell them about this, and I'm sure they will agree to it."
Duan Xiaodong hesitated and said, "If they are unwilling to give money, I and I will also." The Tie Family girl is beautiful and capable, and her key temperament is okay. If you missed it, she would never be able to marry such a good one in her life. The girl.
Sister Liu pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay."
Chunxiang made a special trip for this matter again: "Sister Liu said that Dongzi went back to Duan's house, and he was taken care of by his second brother Ershun. Once he had a high fever, and his second brother went to the town to see a doctor with his feet bare in winter. The doctor saw that they were pitiful and gave free medical treatment and medicine, otherwise he might be gone. These years, the two brothers have depended on each other. Now he wants to come to my house to feel relieved, so he mentioned this condition."
Chun Ni turned her head to look at Tiehu and asked, "Daddy, do we still have ten taels of silver?" As long as the family has this silver, she is willing to give it.
Tiehu smiled and said: "Yes. The money for your wedding wine is also saved for you."
Chunxiang said hurriedly when she heard these words: "Sister Liu meant that Duan's family would not have any drinks, and when that time comes, she will pay her respects and let Dongzi take Chunni back to confess her relatives."
"also."
When the marriage was scheduled, Duan Dashun's family of four and Duan Ershun all came. Looking at this bright blue brick house, and then at Chun Ni's clothes, Duan Dashun's wife is not even more enthusiastic. It's a pity that Chunni knows her nature and is indifferent to her.
Before the meal was finished, Sister Duan looked at the meat dishes on the table and said, "You can't finish so many dishes. I'll take some back to eat."
After speaking, she took out the big wooden bowl she brought, and poured all the meat and vegetables on the table into the big wooden bowl.
Brother Duan didn't say a word when he saw it.
The faces of Duan Ershun and Duan Xiaodong were blue and purple, but it was hard to say in front of outsiders. It's not a good thing for this uncle to talk about his sister-in-law.
Seeing Chunni's black face, Tie Kui smiled and said, "Second Sister, didn't you make a dress for Brother Duan? Don't hurry up and get it." Today is a good day for marriage. There are only a few bowls. Meat dishes are ugly.
Chunni held back her anger, went into the room and took the cotton-padded jacket and trousers into Xiaodong's hand, then turned her head and entered the room again. Seeing is not clear, so as to save her from blasting the sister-in-law Duan out.
After the person left, Chun Ni yelled: "I have never seen such a faceless person." It is not uncommon for relatives to come for a drink and bring some meat and vegetables home. But the master's house hadn't been able to say anything, so he poured the meat and vegetables into his bowl and saw it for the first time.
Tie Kui knew that Sister Duan was very good, and if otherwise, he wouldn't marry the boss Duan who had nothing. "I don't like it, just don't move around in the future." Anyway, Duan Xiaodong is here, and the two are far apart. If the relationship is good, it’s okay if you don’t move around during the holidays.
"Tell Sister Liu that she won't come back when you get married, so you don't have to make jokes." Even if you are married, you can't be laughed at by the villagers if you get married. Marriage is a lifetime event, and she doesn't want to regret it.
Tie Kui smiled and said, "Okay."
On the way back, Sister Duan directly said that it was not easy for Brother Duan to pull the two of their brothers, and the brothers should remember this kindness. In fact, I want Duan Xiaodong to wear the cotton-padded clothes and trousers that Duan Xiaodong will get. Unfortunately, Duan Xiaodong ignored her at all.
After getting the Tie Family's ten taels of silver, he quickly paid off the debt. Sister-in-law Duan and his wife got the news and ran over to try to divide the money. It's a pity that I didn't get a single point.
Knowing that Duan Xiaodong still has money and is planning to build a few soil embryo houses, Duan Ershun said in shame: "Third brother, second brother, I'm sorry."
"Second brother, I am willing. Moreover, the Tie Family is a kind person, and my brother-in-law is also capable. I believe that I will live well."
It was also Liu's sister-in-law who said that the Tie family are kind, and when the marriage was made, she felt that the family was sincere and sincere to his younger brother, otherwise he would not agree to let his younger brother be married.
There are three main materials for the construction of the soil embryo house. The adobe bricks are made by oneself, the wood is cut up to the mountain, and the straw platycodon is very cheap and does not cost a lot of money. The main expenses are the workers' wages.
The land was frozen in winter and couldn't make bricks, so the two brothers braved the wind and snow to go up the mountain to chop wood.
As soon as the weather warmed and the ground thaw, the two brothers began to make bricks. The two people did it very quickly. Three days before they got married, they finished the bricks for the three rooms.
On the day of getting married, Sister Duan wants to take the children and Brother Duan to the Iron House for a wedding. You must know that it is rare to eat meat all year round because of poverty. Going to Tiejia, not only can I have a full meal, but also bring back a lot of meat and vegetables.
When she arrived at the entrance of the village, Liu's wife, who also went to the wedding, saw that the two of them were not polite, so she scolded the couple bloody.
It's a pity that even if she was scolded as a dog, Sister Duan would follow her to have a wedding drink. For the sister-in-law Duan, it is enough to have a full stomach, and the skin is nothing.
Sister-in-law Liu couldn't stop it, so she had to go.
Tie Kui greeted the guests at the door, and saw that Sister Duan's face was a little unsightly. However, the day of rejoicing is not beautiful, he said to Brother Duan: "Since you come to have a wedding wine, we are also welcome. But if you dare to make trouble, I will throw your family of three into the ditch at the entrance of the village."
The couple heard that Tie Kui had killed a tiger and a leopard. This would be threatened by Tie Kui. How could the couple dare to make trouble. During the wedding, Mrs. Duan was as honest as a quail.
When visiting the hall, Duan Ershun's younger brother, who was wearing a big red suit, looked moist.
After the wedding reception, the Duan family went back. The five big sea bowls brought by Sister Duan were all full. When I went back, Sister Duan regretted that the bowl was missing.
While walking on the road, Sister Duan said, "Dongzi will be blessed after joining such a good family. I only hope that he can remember Dashun's kindness to him."
Duan Ershun glanced at his eldest brother Duan coldly, and said, "Do you think Dongzi's Luzhui's face is very shiny?" Even if the conditions of the Tie Family are good, it would be a shame for his brother to be a door-to-door son-in-law.
Duan Dashun said nothing.
The guests went home after eating, and the Tiejia suddenly became deserted again. But this time Tiehu didn't lose the slightest bit, but happily cleaned up.
Seeing Chunni coming out to help, Tiehu said, "Today is a day for you to be overjoyed. Take a good rest. These things are my brother and you!"
But because of Tiehu, Chunni could only go back to the house.
In the evening, Tiehu invited Dashuan and Zhao's good friends to come over for dinner. Because they were in a good mood, Tiehu and Dashuan drank two glasses.
Fu Tiehu came into the house to wash his face and feet, then turned back to clean up the dishes, and Tie Kui went back to the house to rest.
In the new house, Chun Ni and Duan Xiaodong are sitting side by side. After a long time, Duan Xiaodong did not say a word.
Thinking of Tie Kui’s saying that Duan Xiaodong was dull and bad-spoken, Chunni could only speak to herself: “Dongzi, my brother said that women giving birth too early are not only bad for health, but also easy to cause dystocia. So, I hope that in five months, I will complete my house when I am sixteen."
Seeing Duan Xiaodong turning her head to look at him, Chun Ni hurriedly said: "Since I am married, you are yours. I only postponed it for five months for the sake of my body."
Duan Xiaodong nodded and said: "Okay."
Chun Ni showed a real smile: "The doctor said that you were overworked and your body was a little weak. I want to take advantage of this time to make up for you. When you get better, our children will be strong in the future." When I was blushing, it looked like a red egg dyed with rouge.
Duan Xiaodong was heartwarming after hearing these words: "Okay, I will listen to you."
Although they said that they would wait five months to complete the room, the two did not sleep in separate beds, but one person with one quilt.
