Song Sihai is dead, dead on the bed of the oiran in the building. When the news came out, those rough men thought that Song Sihai's ability was not good enough to take too much stimulant medicine before he died. Even if he died, everyone secretly laughed at him for being an embroidered pillow. If you don't have that ability, don't go to sleep with the oiran.
Unexpectedly, Song Sihai's death was just the beginning. Over the next period of time, the people of the Song family were hit by bad hands one after another. Even the dull people know that this is wrong. Before long, there were rumors that people from the Yan family came to seek revenge.
Qiu Dashan said with some excitement to Tie Kui this day: "They all said that those from the Song family were killed by the Third Young Master." Just by hearing this name, you would know his attitude.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "It's just a rumor after all, there is no definite evidence." The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Therefore, it is better not to hope.
"No, I think this rumor is true. Third Young Master is not dead, Third Young Master must not have died. Third Young Master is here to take revenge." When he said this, Qiu Dashan looked very excited.
He also knew that Tie Kui's mouth was tight, so he wouldn't hide his attitude.
Tie Kui was silent and said, "My lord, if Yan Wushuang is really not dead, I think he will definitely come to you." Qiu Dashan is Yan Wushuang's companion and has always been loyal to Yan's family. If Yan Wushuang is not dead and wants revenge, sooner or later he will find Qiu Dashan.
Qiu Dashan said hopefully, "I hope the Third Young Master can come to me as soon as possible." In this way, he can determine if the third young man is alive.
After this time, Qiu Dashan often talked about Yan Wushuang with Tie Kui, and sometimes talked about his childhood. I don't know why, so I didn't say anything suddenly.
Tie Kui guessed that Yan Wushuang was really not dead, otherwise Qiu Dashan's attitude would not be so weird. However, she is a very eye-catching person, Qiu Dashan did not take the initiative to say it, and he would not mention it.
After this messenger of revenge appeared, it was a good thing for most people in the army. After all the members of the Song family in the army died, no one would ever claim everyone's credit. Qiu Dashan was also promoted from a centurion to a five-ranked thousand households.
As for Tie Kui, who had saved himself and took good care of him, Qiu Dashan naturally did not hesitate to support him. It took only five years for Tie Kui to rise from a small soldier to a fifth-rank deputy.
There was no war after the winter, and Tie Kui retaliated with Qiu Dashan: "General, I have been away from home for five years and want to go home to visit my relatives." Generals of rank three and above can be called generals. Qiu Dashan is now a general from the third rank.
The higher you go, the harder it is to rise. It took Qiu Dashan only five years to rise from the fifth rank to the third rank guerrilla general. Not only did he make a lot of military merits, but it also had a lot to do with someone secretly supporting him.
Middle-level generals of rank 5 and above visit family leave every year. However, many people are reluctant to go back because they are far away from home. Others have no one at home and there is no home to go back. Qiu Dashan is one of them.
Qiu Dashan readily approved a one-and-a-half month holiday: "After I go back, I will try to resolve the marriage." He was twenty years old and still playing a bachelor.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "I'm a precarious one, marrying a wife is not harmful!" Now he has no intention of marrying a wife. For one thing, the war is too dangerous, and it is possible to die at any time. And if he doesn't die, he will marry a girl from an official family, not a country girl who doesn't know a lot of characters.
Tie Kui, with a confidant, followed Zhong Shan and a few others back. Half a month later, I arrived at Tiejia Village.
Five years away from home, nothing has changed here. Seeing the smoke rising from each house, Tie Kui felt particularly cordial.
Riding to the entrance of the village, a child was walking slowly on the back of a cow. Hearing the sound of horse hooves, he turned his head involuntarily. Seeing Tie Kui and others, the child hurriedly jumped off the back of the cow, and then took the cow and walked quickly towards the village. It looked like Tie Kui and the others were scourges.
Tie Kui amused when he saw this: "Shan Tong, did you say I was so fierce?" He didn't change his appearance when he left home. How come such a child is so afraid of him.
Zhong Shan smiled and said, "It's not that adults are fierce, but children are more timid."
In fact, it is not that this kid is timid, but that Tie Kui has killed a lot of people over the years, and he is very angry.
When I arrived at my door, I heard the cry of children before I even went in. When I opened the door, I saw a chubby child lying on the ground and howling, not to mention how sad it was.
Chunni who was cooking came out when the door rang. Seeing Tie Kui walking at the forefront, Chun Ni asked with a vigilant look: "Who are you?"
Tie Kui couldn't laugh or cry: "Second sister, you don't recognize me if I've been away from home for five years?"
In fact, it's not that Chunni didn't recognize it, but Tie Kui was now wearing a military uniform with a long knife around her waist. This looks very prestigious, but also scary.
Chun Ni was so shocked that she dropped the shovel in her hand to the ground and she didn't even know.
Tie Kui smiled and said, "Second Sister, where are Dad and Brother-in-law? Haven't they come back yet?"
Chun Ni returned to her senses and said, "Still in the field, Kuizi, wait, I'll call them back."
Tie Kui hurriedly stopped Chun Ni and said, "Second Sister, go cook! I'll go to the field and ask Dad and brother-in-law to come back."
In the past five years, the family bought another ten acres of farmland, but did not buy any more land. With these four acres of land, enough for their family to be busy. No amount of it can be planted. As for the fields, people must be hired when plowing and harvesting.
"Okay, then you go call and I will cook." After that, Chun Ni looked at Zhong Shan and asked a few people: "Kuizi, how many of you are there?" With so many people, we must steam the rice again.
"three people."
Tie Kui turned around and wanted to find Tie Hu and Duan Dongzi in the field. After going out for a while, the two of them came back carrying hoes.
"Father, brother-in-law."
The appearance has changed a bit, but the voice has not changed. Duan Dongzi was okay, but when Tie Hu saw Tie Kui, tears filled his eyes. In the past few years, he has been constantly worried about receiving news of Tie Kui's death in battle. Fortunately, it passed without danger, and Tie Kui also rose to the ranks as an official as he wished.
Tiehu took Tie Kui's hand and said, "Go home, go home quickly." When he said this, his voice was a little choked.
After entering the house, Tiehu asked, "Kuizi, how long can you stay at home this time?"
Hearing that he could stay for half a month, Tie Kui was overjoyed: "You are the eldest, too, take advantage of this time to marry you." His son is still in his twenties, and Tiehu is also at heart.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "Daddy, I have no plans to get married yet."
"Kuizi..."
Tie Kui said what was in his heart, and then said: "Daddy, the second sister already has a son, and the Tie family has no worries about having a son." As for the Ning family, it would be better if the son had no use.
Speaking of this, Tie Kui immediately changed the subject: "Daddy, Fatty is very cute, and his voice is loud." He communicated frequently and was clear about the situation at home.
Speaking of his grandson, the smile on Tiehu's face couldn't hide: "This kid not only has a loud voice, but also has a big temper. If he doesn't follow his wishes, he will cry loudly."
The father and son spoke for a long time, and Chun Ni said outside: "Daddy, Kuizi, have dinner."
As soon as she walked out of the house, watching Chunni leaning on her waist, Tie Kui asked, "Second sister, what's the matter with you?"
Chun Ni smiled and said, "I have been pregnant with her second child, and it has been more than three months." Because it was winter, she was dressed thickly, so it's hard to tell.
"Pang Dun is three years old, so he really deserves a companion." In the farmhouse, there are too few children.
It's not that Chunni didn't want to have a baby, but that she hadn't been pregnant after she gave birth to Fatty. But with chubby, the husband and wife are not in a hurry.
After taking a bite of Chinese cabbage, Tie Kui smiled and said, "Second sister, your cooking skills are much better than when I left home."
Chun Ni laughed and said: "No. I'm afraid that the food in your army is not good, so I feel that my cooking skills have improved."
After eating, Chun Ni packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen. Duan Dongzi was afraid that she would be tired, so he went to the kitchen to help.
Seeing this situation, Tie Kui was very satisfied.
Tiehu smiled and said, "Your second brother-in-law is very nice to Chunni, and you will rely on her in everything. Since Chunni became pregnant, she is not allowed to go to the ground anymore."
At first, there were still people in the village who said sour words, and even some malicious people wanted to provoke the relationship between the couple. However, they all touched their noses gray. Now the people in the village say that Chunni has a good life, and she has hired such a good husband-in-law.
Tie Kui smiled and said, "I knew that the second brother-in-law knew how to care for his wife." Everything is fine when he is at home, so he can feel at ease outside.
At night, the father and son slept together, and Tiehu asked a lot about the army. Tie Kui always picked up some funny things and said, without mentioning half a word of danger.
On the second day, Tie Kui went to the house of Jiu Taiye. Because of his advanced age, the nine grandpa had already given up the positions of the patriarch and the chief. Because the other people did not have the prestige of the nine grand masters, the patriarch and the prince no longer served by the same person. However, Jiutaiye is still a unique character in the village.
Hearing Tie Kui's arrival, Grandpa Jiu hurriedly got up and walked to the door to meet him.
Tie Kui hurriedly helped him sit back on the Kang when he saw him: "My lord, I haven't seen you in five years, your old body is still healthy!"
Jiu Taiye shook his head and said, "I am old and useless." Three years ago, he fell ill and made his health worse. If not, it won't hand over the positions of the patriarch and the chieftain.
Seeing the gift box on the table, Grandpa Nine frowned and said, "You kid has to bring things every time he comes to my house, and he doesn't listen to what you say. It's too raw for you to do this."
Tie Kui smiled and said, "Master, this is also my heart." If it weren't for the respected old man in front of him, how could their family gain a foothold in the Tie Family so quickly. Therefore, he is very grateful to the nine great masters.
The ninth grandfather did not refuse this time: "I listen to your father, you are now a hundred households with the sixth grade." The county magistrate is also a seventh grade, and his great-grandson turned out to be a positive sixth grade. Because there was an official in the village, the people of Tiejia Village were better able to go out.
Tie Kui smiled and said, "I was upgraded to a level not long ago, and now I am a fifth-rank deputy."
"Okay, okay, okay, there is a big man in my Tie Family." He has always felt that Tie Kui is very capable, and he will definitely live well in the future. But I never thought that this child would be so promising.
After complimenting Tie Kui, the ninth grandfather also mentioned the marriage: "You are not too young now, it's time to get married and start a business."
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "My current situation is not suitable for marrying a wife. Otherwise, some accident would have harmed the girl, so let's wait two years!"
The parties do not agree, and outsiders can't force it.
After talking with the nine grandpa for a long time, Tie Kui left and went home.
The nine grandpa stayed with Tiekui for dinner.
Tie Kui smiled and said, "My grandfather, the chickens have been killed at home, so I won't stay at your home for dinner. But this time I can stay at home for more than ten days, so I don't have to worry about eating."
Jiutaiye let him go back now.
Tong picked up the gift box, feeling light and light. She was a little strange, and immediately opened the gift box.
When he opened it, Tong cried out: "Old man, Kuizi has given us a ginseng." This ginseng is not big, but it looks good.
The Jiu Taiye carefully looked at the ginseng in the box, and then said: "This ginseng is probably 20 or 30 years old."
Tong thought the gift was too expensive: "This child is really true, how much does it cost?" Although it was a gift to them, he felt distressed.
"Kuizi guessed that we were getting older, so he gave us this ginseng to supplement our body." This child is probably because of his previous support for his family. But speaking of it, he didn't help the Tiehu family.
"Old man, should I ask Dashuan to take it to the drugstore tomorrow and ask how much money, shall we give the money to Kuizi?" Although Tie Kui called her grandma, she was not her direct junior. With such a heavy gift, she kept her hands hot.
The old man inhaled a cigarette, shook his head and said, "Forget it, if we give the money, it will hurt the child's filial piety. In the future, let Dashuan and the others help the Tie Family." Such a complete ginseng, how can we take such a complete ginseng? Twenty thirty taels of silver. In the past two years, he has been in poor health and has spent a lot of money at home. If the money is given, the family will be emptied. It is not for the sake of face, regardless of the livelihood of the family.
Tong nodded, and couldn't help saying: "Kui Zi is so promising and filial, Hu Zi is really blessed."
"Our family Dashuan and Ershuan are very filial." Although the two sons have nothing to do, they are very filial to their two elders, and the Jiu Taiye is content.
Tong nodded.
On the way home, Tie Kui ran into Father Li with his grandson. He stepped forward and said hello: "Uncle..."
Father Li was stunned for a few seconds before reacting: "Kuizi, are you back?" In the words, there was an indescribable surprise.
Tie Kui came back last evening, and the Li family did not go out at night. After breakfast today, he took his grandson to town.
"Yes, I came back yesterday." After speaking, the little boy who looked at him holding him smiled and said, "Is this a rock? It's so big in a blink of an eye." Although he hates Li Gui, he still respects Daddy Li. .
Father Li smiled and said, "Children grow up fast. Kuizi, won't you come back this time?"
Tie Kui shook his head: "This time I am going home to visit relatives. I will be returning to the barracks after half a month."
After a few greetings, Tie Kui went home.
Father Li looked at Tie Kui's back, sighed a long time later, and took his grandson's hand to go home.
After lunch at home, Tie Kui said, "Daddy, I'm going to visit the eldest sister in the county seat." He did not go to the county seat, but turned around and went home.
Tiehu did not agree: "Anyway, you have been at home for more than ten days, and it will not be too late to go tomorrow."
Tie Kui nodded.
Chun Ni smiled and said: "Kuizi, the eldest sister changed the house. It happened that I haven't been to the county for more than three months to see the eldest sister. I will accompany you tomorrow to save you from finding a place."
Duan Dongzi disagreed: "It takes a day to go back and forth to the county town. You shouldn't go out in a cold weather. Tomorrow I will take Kuizi to the county town to visit my eldest sister, and you will bring a pier at home."
Tiehu also disagrees with Chunni going to the county seat: "After you have finished giving birth, you can go to your elder sister's house whenever you want. But now it's not possible." The road in this cold weather is very bumpy, and this is a twin body. How can it be careless.
